Why do they do this?
Why do they do this?
Popular artist does it, a bunch of people think it looks good and copy, it becomes a trend.
it turns the nose into a sex object like lips
Because fanartist got popular shitting out tons of fanart and they did that and their minions started copying them and then they went to college.
My theory is that they do it because it differentiates the nose from the face since they're so bad at drawing anatomy they have to use color to do it for them.
most artists that do that lack the shading/coloring skills to make the nose not look like a two dimensional line on the face, so by coloring it like that, it stands out.
They drink a lot. Maybe they need an intervention.
This. It originally evoked a sort of whimsical, storybook style than several popular artists used. The less-talented masses adotped it, and now they just do it out of habit.
Kinda like the gigantic nose/elongated horseface/massive rounded lips combo. It started as a backlash against the anime style so common in female teen artists, but the general populace started copying it and now it's just tumblr's house style.
They're all Alaskan and think that noses are actually red.
Who nose? I don't really get it either.
Noses are people too!
Why don't they do this in anime?
They don't that much anymore.
It was because of Animal Crossing.
Anime has its own sins
they do, with hair colors
you can't, they barely have a nose
Spend 5 minutes flicking through the new submissions on Deviantart and you'll leave with a dozen other anime sins, too. There's a reason a lot of people write most anime off as weebshit at a glance.
Any Tumblr character could guide Santa's slay.
For a similar reason, too. A popular artist did it awhile ago, and now everyone does it out of habit.
Noses seem like they should be easier to do than hands or feet
Because real life people tend to have reddish noses
They are but they're harder to hide or take shortcuts with.
Because you have to be drunk 24/7 in order to life with yourself if you create art for tumblr.
this isn't really a thing anymore, the "tumblr style" has developed further and is now more calarts bean-mouthy
There's this meme that more detailed means better, or that the more time you spend needlessly fucking with a drawing, the better it gets. I blame the inexplicably continuous popularity of Jim Lee among casuals for this.
Now it looks flat and shitty.
as someone who makes art I do the tumblr nose occasionally because I think it looks cute
babby's first shading
It's cold on tumblr.
This is my favorite answer.
Its supposed to add depth and detail to the face, but like others have said, most artists on tumblr are shit and have no real grasp why they do half the things they do.
iirc, this specific show was doing something unusual for anime, like maybe they were drawing over live action images?
I mean there are a lot of snowflakes on the site...
You mean rotoscoping?
rotoscoping was a mistake -Max Fleischer
The term is called Rotoscoping and it's been around since the 1930's. Basically you film a live action scene and then trace the movements. A lot of older animated works did this.
Someone should make a "elbow, shoulders and knees" and then "elbow, shoulders and knees by wannabe anime artist", where they are all red and super fucking shiny.
Cute.
no one has done this since 2013
Snow White did it well, Cool World did it well, any other examples of decent rotoscoped stuff?
I know you think that you're funny and clever, but stop it.
I get doing it, it's an stylization since the flow of blood in that middle part of the face makes it redder
As an artist i think it's cool when done right, now this ~fix~ right here looks retarded and i'd much rather have the red nose
The Max Fleischer Superman cartoons were pretty good; still some amazing animation even in this day and age.
American Pop.
Your not my mother so shut up and deal with my poor attempts at humor.
This was posted yesterday.
I don't know. I accidentally started doing it though when making Homestuck OCs
I've never been on tumblr though.
Don't worry user, I laughed
>removed the nostril
found the weeaboo
This was a request I made of an artist friend who posted it to tumblr and a shitstorm ensued.
The secondary request was to have a third nose that was blue against grey skin captioned "I'm unfollowing you now" but she didn't do it
Better?
Better, but it would be best if you added a highlight like there are on other parts of her face.
That's what I always thought.
I actually don't hate it.
That's nothing compared to OP's example
Did the snowflake get triggered?
I voted for Trump too.
that looks fine, though. nothing like the realistic and weirdly delineated red noses people talk about when they say "tumblr nose"
that's just what is talking about
>tfw i have a Tumblr nose irl
Here you go.
Now it's legitimately better than the original.
>people who say tumblr nose when it isn't
>people who say sidemouth when it isn't
>people so new that they don't even know what rotoscoping is
Because, when they were little, no one would let them join in any reindeer games.
>People who think flash is only used for tween animation
The new hot meme for lazy flash is puppet animation.
Isn't jim lee popular because he always delivers on time?
still, tired of people blaming flash when it can be used for frame by frame.
That example is actually a lot more visually interesting than most anime, though.
This isn't even that apparent on tumblr anymore, the current fads are porn memes (that Sup Forums ironically eats up), uglyfying cute characters, irony and gay.
lay off the booze, user
Almost as often the ears are red too
If you put in the time and effort, there's a lot flash can do.
My noes is actually slightly red so im ok with this :,0
Japanese people do not have noses
But then why use Flash? It's an incredibly shitty program for that. You use Flash because you want the transforms (which has mixed results when you put the effort into it ala Wakfu, but honestly I doubt they saved any money over outsourcing it to Korea). Or because it's the only thing you've ever used and haven't actually tried anything else (when all you have is a hammer, etc).
hell yeah looks nice
It's my STYLE
because it's affordable and easy to use. what do you suggest, toon boom?
Sup Forums is behind on the times.
It's the pepe of Sup Forums so to speak.
You seem to think of things in terms of official productions instead of what is FREELY available to use and what has been in use for several years.
The average person can't outsource their projects to Korea.
>This isn't even that apparent on tumblr anymore
Yes it is.
they do it to make a females face look flushed like how it looks when shes orgasming or some other type of intense sexual pleasure. All feminist really are (and I know this by experience) are deeply repressed sexual deviants who want to be subservient and constantly pleasing to a man.
101 Dalmatians, the scene where Cruella is having a car chase in the snow.
I think its simply just one of those cases where the styles kept getting more extravagant and thus mocked relentlessly until it all sort of just imploded upon itself.
That nose looks BLACKED
>that signature completely ripped off Adam Huges' AH!
They're all closet lushes.
Closet whats?
I blame Alex Hirsch.
What the fuck, why would you use an example of something actually good?
it was a trend long before him newfag
Lush. A drunk. They get big red noses from bursting all the blood vessels in their snout.
It only really bothers me when it's largely unnecessary or overdone and ruins an otherwise decent piece of art.
duck noses are the things to hate if anything
...
I don't know, why do you follow people who draw like that? Especially when you don't like it?
From the thumbnail it looks like a migrobenis
How is this not literally rape? How is the artist not chased of tumblr and forced to suicide himself, like they always do with renegades?
It's not a penis, it's a ladystick, which makes it progressive.
hey that one is prety cool,is that an original charcter?
it's a feminine dick, which makes it alt-right
because i drink a lot and my nose lights up like Rudolph
