New Guy, some questions

Posted by YOGB - December 4th, 2018


Hey, I'm a new user who decided to make an account here instead of mastadon or Tumblr,

I just have a few questions about posting art.

I know I need someone else to approve for me, but I want to know if my black and white art is okay.

I have some trouble with color so I really just draw in black and white, but I don't know if people on this site would be enjoy it or confuse it as doodles. I just want to know if it's okay to post black and white art? 

Also how is everyone enjoying the new wave of tumblr refugees? 

I'm new here so I really don't know how this site works

i don't think it will be a problem. it matters more if people like your art or not. if it is in color or not i don't think people care to much. if you enjoy what you do that is the most important thing ^^ anyway the refugees are new very new. i have not seen that before but i hope they like it here just as i hope you like it here as well. anyway welcome to NG ^^

Thanks! I was just concerned. I'm not the best with colors (thank colorblindness) but I hope people like it!

@NyanaCreation @YOGB i am sure you will do fine. i have seen some color blind artist who are pretty good and mabey you can experiment with colors when your ready. anyway i wish you the best and mabey i'll see some of your art work floating around ^^

Its not too bad (only purples and greys, it's odd idk) but thanks!

Hey there! Like NyanaCreation says (and Tom himself, woah!) the color doesn't matter so much as the quality, but yes, simple black and white sketches might be seen as doodles by some users, but there are artists here who pretty only draw in black and white as well: https://doomroar.newgrounds.com/art

Generally, I'd think the distinction's made by how detailed a piece. If it's really simple you'd feel like it may as well be in color, but detailed black and white work is AWESOME too. You capture the detail better without color some times. In your case I'd say just keep going, improving; you'll get in eventually. ;)

Your art so far's not bad, but it is a bit simple.

As for the new wave: I love it! Having a hard time to keep up but I miss the days when there was actually more content than I could really keep track of too. :) Seems like that's all coming back. So much NSFW work everywhere though. XD I guess that's both good and bad...

Feel free to ask if you have any questions!

Also, if you want a quick intro guide this might be handy: https://solitonmedic.newgrounds.com/news/post/1028767

Black and white is ok because someone I follow posts black and white horror stuff and they even made frontpage sometimes.
