Is successful Drawing the 'easier' book between it and Figure Drawing for All It's Worth? Huh.

Theres no way perspective made easy is the first book in terms of difficulty

Your mind needs a structure. You're a pig in a pig pen; a rat in a maze. Your brain thrives when it is given limited and few options. You love it when most decisions have been made for you. Even the alpha males need God to lead them.

The best structure is timed figure drawing. Get on quickposes.com and do a 1 hour session of figure drawing every single day. You'll thank yourself 3-4 years down the line, when you draw almost as well as Bridgman does.

Good luck

Ey compadre, you need artist's assets to make it work

It's not Fair Use anymore and your devs are getting sued now

an AI nigger proompter just flew over my house

> How can I learn to draw like this?
Why would you want to? It might look pretty at face value, but at the same time, it's generic and boring.
Sure, AI is good at what it does, but it seems to be used to produce the same thing every single time.
The subject is different, but the lighting, the body type, deadpan face stare, and rendered anime look are all the same.

>>6676781
Also, I don't know how to word it, but there's something about all of them that looks too clean?
Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
I get normies and pro AI people won't notice or care, but there's just something off about it being too perfectly rendered.
It's like turning HDR up all the way on a photo, it stops looking natural.

Thanks AI for having shapes, composition and finish so predictable that makes me feel hopeful despite the existential threat

How do they end up this bad? They don't even have to be serious in their efforts, if they even tried at all you'd think they'd get better just through osmosis or sheer luck.

>>6676726
Redrawing/revising until it looks right is the foundation of all art, traditional or digital. But that's besides the point, you need a solid foundation from which to work, and a good visual library and a good ability to analyze and observe, in order to make something look right.
As for your referenced pic, it looks fine for what it is, just a silly doodle.

I'm not sure about the "best" way, but simply try to use my drawing methods to "construct" the art I'm studying. I'm trying to get a feel for how the character/art was made. I try to get it to look as similar as possible, but I'm not a photocopier, so I don't mind so look as it feels the same and still looks good.

If you're studying a particular artist to study their style, make sure to pay attention to their quirks such as line weight, colour choices, shapes used, etc.

>>6676611
You think Mickey Mouse is simple, maybe that's a hint of your problem. Those designs are done by artistic geniuses. Mickey, is all rounded, doesn't have a single straight line, is 100% fluid, it is designed to be in constant movement and action.
Same as those characters in pic related, are designed to be always expressing something, moving, they can't have their facial features "in place", they are all asymmetrical. I don't try to be an ass, just trying to put in perspective where is the mind of the guys who do those character designs. They are far above, "composition", "construction", "anatomy", "reference", materials", they are beyond all of that, they live in the "gesture" realm. That's why I always say that "gesture" is not a beginner tool.

>>6676611
why don’t you just draw characters in the style of the film you just posted a pic of. copy a few of the characters in the movie as best you can. then move around and short/lengthen some of the facial features and hairstyles to create something new that is still tangential to the overall style.
afterward open two windows on your computer screen, one with a picture of the movie and the other if your own creation in the style of movie. compare both images and see what you got wrong. rinse and repeat until you get it right

>>6676605
If its all so obvious and AI is the way of the future, why do you waste so much time shuttling in from /g/ trying to convince us of this fact? We'll either learn on our own or succumb, and yet you all keep making these threads like clockwork as soon as the previous one hits the post limit. Such magnanimity and philanthropy from random 4chan anons, who knew.

Nah, they shouldn't give you a 3 day ban. Stop bothering them and they'll let you slide.

I didn't even have to read your post to know your opinion would automatically be the most retarded thing ever written

I guess that makes AI okay then.

I'd have to see more than just his teen titans stuff, but it did it's job well, and is more appealing than many modern cartoons released these days. There's a kind of "anime-knock off" look to 'em, but it worked and was done better than all the other attempts to ape anime at the time (and probably since?).

Hell, when I think of anyone of the teen titans 4 (cyborg, robin, star-fire, raven) I think of the animated show's designs, so he must have done something right.

(Oh, just quickly looked it up, the dudes past away. RIP dude)

>>6676555
I struggle immensely recreating this style, which sucks because I do a lot of Raven porn

He alongside Ciro Nieli and Tartakovsky are my favorite cartoon character designers.

>>6676603

>Hell, when I think of anyone of the teen titans 4 (cyborg, robin, star-fire, raven) I think of the animated show's designs, so he must have done something right.

I'd say it was more of a combination of styles, as Glen Murakami was also involved in character design for the 2003 TT series...

In my opinion I feel that Murakami's style is a more polished version of Wyatt's style.

haven't read that book but it's actually a pretty interesting technique. it's obviously not the best one for accuracy but it's useful as an exercise and as tool. you can use this sribbly loose gesture drawing to draw anything that you are not confident in drawing.
by drawing loosely a bunch of lines, it can trick your brain to eventually see on the paper what you are actually trying to draw. when you see it, you can make the lines progressively more visible or do a second "inking" pass where you choose only the good lines. i hope you can understand what i'm trying to say.

>>6676389
>look at the author's 'work' for some cheap laughs
actually really cool modernist paintings. I prefer russian/soviet stuff from the same time period, but this is fucking rad. /ic/ dilettantes with another L

>>6676503
There are several approaches to the idea of gesture, the practical and the abstract

Nikolaides is the abstract type who tells you need to feel bro, that you need to capture the (*smokes weed*) essence and shit. This approach is nonsensical.

The practical is like Huston or Vilppu
Vilppu's approach to gesture is simply capturing what the figure is doing, and having some rythm on top of it. Huston definition is about connecting parts (How the neck connects to the torso, torso to legs and arms etc....

latest anime I'm studying is Ranma 1/2. The art is often very good, even it the later episodes. Although it does vary a lot.

ty anon i was blind to some of those things

any course that will teach a workflow to reach something like pic related?

>>6676083
>People used to know the difference between reality and fiction
Yeah but has the average internet user gets younger and brainwashed by the media, things people didn't care about years ago start getting "problematic" and people could become potential targets by the twitter mob. Doesn't help that most people those days are NPCs only capable of seeing the world in black and white.

>>6676083
Stay in your containment generals

>>6676112
Wait, you already liked anime and you draw?
Where's the conflict here, exactly?
I don't think the issue is you making manga when you don't/won't like manga, the issue is making something because you want to please others.

>>6676140
:C

>>6676170
Finding people is hard anyway, i don't think it would be possible

>>6676195
Well yeah, i like the stories, but that doesn't mean I want to copy the style ahaha, i mean i like watching it but I'm still not sure about trying to Excell in a style that the average jap will always do better :p

>>6676164
NTA but I think the only current releases I keep up with are DanDaDan and Dungeon Meshi. Every once in a while I'll archive binge Sleepy Princess In Demon Castle. Other than that, I tend to read older releases.
The best way to keep track of releases is probably to use a mobile app like Tachiyomi, especially if you have a tablet, since it can notify you when new chapters drop.
I don't know about other apps, but you *can* use Tachiyomi to read manga from official servers that you pay a subscription for, not just for piracy.

>>6676221
A lot of manga I like took forever and a long time just to get 1 chapter translated. This went on for years and till this day I think 1 of my fav series still does not have all the chapters done even though it’s finished. It’s 1 of the things why I don’t bother. But then I always read comments from people saying stuff like “they censored/cut out this scene” then I flip through the manga for that anime and they for sure cut out and censor a lot of ecchi stuff it’s unreal.

I dunno, I’ll look more into finding out how I can track stuff better without it being too much of a chore.

>>6676245
Oh, I’ll look into Tachiyomi. Thanks.

Nice bugs, tableguy.

tips:

- Learn basic bug anatomy, especially where legs connect to each part of the thorax
- Pay close attention to the position of the legs and try to make them symmetrical
- High detail in some areas, low detail in others
- Start the sketch by describing the bug with simple geometrical shapes

>you vil draw ze bugz!

2ez? Boring?

Invent fantasy bug species from scratch!
Make sure to use even more reference in this case
