Traditional Art Appreciation Thread

In light of increasing criticism of non-digital art forms and the looming threat of their being crowded out by AI-generated trash, we should take some time to appreciate and discuss the merits of traditional art forms, and demonstrate that rather than being “degenerate and outdated,” the traditional forms are in fact wholesome, timeless, and very much appreciated by those of us who aren’t philistines.

TLDR: post ponies in pencil, pen, watercolor, etc. or talk about said art styles.

I was trying to emulate the illustration from the Charlotte’s Web book here.

Oh. A traditional art appreciation thread. That sounds nice.

It’s just whining about AI.

@Fleur de Lis
You single handedly made over half the thread about it.

I just found this one and I like it

It’s a shame this one never got colored.

This is too fitting for me not to post.
