/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

I just want to draw like I want to draw and It happens that manga and anime have been part of my childhood since I was a toddler, having grown up in Italy watching Hamtaro and Detective Conan right when I was 3 or 4, so it's not a surprise I gravitate toward that style. But that's not also what I aspire too, since as I grew older I came to appreciate european comics and classic D&D art just as much. Pic related Is the best work that shows all the influences. Westerners can't seem to get anime right most of the time because they either are below beg or they deviate from the standard style on purpose. You don't even need those how to draw anime books if you already studied normal fundies, you could just copy your favorite artists. There Is also the fact that american comics and cartoons have been fucking stale in the mainstream for decades and now they're outright dying due to lack of variety and shitty politics, so it's not a surprise that the youth of today prefer foreign stuff.
