All my life, i wanted to be an animator in japan and fulfill the weeb dream. I come from a rich family, and my parents want me to be business man. I could run away, and get some minimum wage job and draw on the side, but I know I could never be rich, my appearance would dwindle, and I could get never get a wife. So fine! Im going to prove ic i dont need a wife or being rich, and that I can be a japanese animator slave. I got me 4 cups of water and a chamber pot on standby plus flamin hot cheetos to keep me awake. Im going to attempt to draw for 11 hours straight without leaving this room, checking ic, listening to music, or lying in bed. And if i fail, i know it wasn't meant to be.... Im 18 and have already been accepted into a college too

so mods, do the honor, and ban my blogging ass from 4chin.

Wish me luck /ic/. And remember, its not for anime, kawaii anime girls, waifuism, or expressing yourself, its FOR DRAWING AND SHOWING THOSE NIPS I CAN BE AN ANIMATOR TOO!

Bit of advice anon, you don't need to draw 11 hours straight to get gud. There is no way you are going to draw for 11 hours straight without losing energy and focus. Find a method of practice that helps you understand fundamentals easily and quickly

I suggest you do cross contour drawings where you trace the subject's silhouette, and draw lines across it like a 3D grid to get a sense of form. this is good for foreshortening.

Start anatomy with the subjects like the figure, head, hands, etc in 2D views then use what you learnt from cross contour drawing to allow you to draw these subjects from foreshortened angles. You can trace the outline of the hand or head or feet, then go over them with cross contour grids to see the 3D.

Get a pdf of Scott Robertson's book how to draw. It teaches you how to draw mechanical subjects and environments from imagination using perspective (Very information dense so PLEASE take it slow)

Aim for a realistic style first before shifting to anything else as all styles are derivative of realism. You can draw for like 3 or 4 hours and learn TONS as long as you focus.

11 hours of mindless practice < 30 minutes of focused practice.

Hit me up with a place that I can contact you OP. I believe in you! I just want this one single thing to be good at art, but if life won't let me have it life won't even exist anymore. So you have to do it, anon! Become the animator! You can do it! If you can do it then so can I!
