stop, delete the thread and rename it "anime study thread" for now

use same pic...if they delete it again I'll personally complain to mods

No offense OP, but are you retarded? I sympathize with you guys but with that pic you're just asking to get this thread deleted agin.

>>3278125

who cares just draw shit

>thread about fucking drawing anime
>no rules broken
>gets deleted anyway

fuck you mods

Not to try and deviate from the thread's theme much, i'm struggling with finding a "rule of thumb" guide for anatomy, alot of people say different things and it's rather overwhelming me, because i don't want to get used to the "wrong" style for anime and manga, does anyone have any recommendations?

>>3278144
just don't use the x heads meme

>>3278144
The trick is that there is no wrong way. Just draw arms, legs and body. Add muscle where necessary.

how do these eyes fucking work?

>>3278155
One is foreshortened.

i thought loomis was meme
but i seriously considering grind to that

>>3278156
but how is possible to see the eyelashes from the left eye but the one in the right it's almost like a profile pic

>>3278125
>text on picture
Same desu senpai

>>3278155
Think in 3d boi

How do you place and space the eyes?
Does each artist just come up with their own facial measurements?

Can a kind gentleman post the youtube links from the previous thread? I'm currently on mobile

>>3278210
Yes

I just can't do it,sorry guys

>>3278210

why do these threads keep getting deleted

>>3278246
mods are crabs

>>3278246
Something that helps anons escape the bucket of crabs is a no-no in modland.

Mod wants another sakimichan thread to debate in.

Why do I keep waking up to see my threads pruning?
>>3278125
Y'all forgot the thread assignment links:

>>3278253
>my threads pruning?
no

>>3278261
It's 'temp' for a reason. I'm working on a google doc.

>>3278278
okay well that wasn't clear

hey dudes, serious talk:
does this laser gun design I've been using seem weird?
I'm going for a kids comic vibe and the character is a part of an evil company, but after coloring it, it seems too goofy. How could I improve it?

>>3278280
it looks like an onahole with a pistol grip

maybe it's because of the colors you used?

Wanted to link this in the last thread:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5071313/

For those of you analyzing the differences in eastern and western art.

>>3278125
Because you keep posting loli porn retard

>>3278280
The orange makes it look like a nerf gun because colored tips usually mean the gun is a toy.

>>3278286
thank you!
>>3278287
last thread just had this shintaro kago sketch

it prob got deleted because of whoever decided to spam those speed painting vids rather than compile them into a pastebin

>>3278293
>it prob got deleted because of whoever decided to spam those speed painting vids rather than compile them into a pastebin

nah, someone is just reporting it en masse

>>3278287
becuase that warrants the whole thread to be delted

>>3278288
I was going for a lilo and stitch sci-fi vibe for the props but yeah, too toy-like.

I added green and changed the laser glow to blue, trying to give it a military-style pallette.

>>3278280
>kids comic vibe
>too goofy

No such thing, guy. Rock on with your pew pew pew.

>>3278307
much better

>>3278210
Only the shitty ones.
Nothing on human body exists in isolation, everything is connected to or affected by something else. If you know how human faces work, your hand will stop you from misplacing an eye, because that space is already occupied by the nasal bridge or the cheekbone.
You think about those things and feel them, even if they don't make it in the final drawing.

>>3278144
Anatomy is just a set of visual information, what kind of "rule of thumb" do you mean?
>work from big to small
>abstract everything
>learn mirroring in perspective
...are pretty good advice, but no shortcut or a rule of thumb.

What's the hair exercise mentioned in the OP?

>>3278309
>>3278315
thanks!

>>3278318

I'm a dumbass--I didn't even see that it was posted in the thread. Thanks, anon.

can't you just watch this instead? it's basically the same thing and i doubt any of you speak japanese.

you idiots need to learn that learning from english resources is okay, all that matters is the skill of the artist themselves

>>3278125

>>3278144
Branching off of this, how would I go about actually "learning" figure drawing? I'm going through Loomis but I don't really see a set of exercises or anything I'm supposed to do - what's a recommended routine? Should I be going through something like quickposes and drawings the underlying structure or what?

>>3278391
Quickposes is good, yeah.

Figure drawing classes generally split their routines over a single reference making various poses across progressively longer time intervals. So warm-up sketches are done in as little as 30 seconds (this conditions the artist to stop chicken-scratching, and have confidence in their strokes), and then it just gets longer from there. 1min, 2min, 5min, 10min. Depending on the medium this can sometimes go on for 15min, 30min, 45min to 1h. Granted you're not spending this combined amount of a time on a single pose; pose websites cycle for you, but the longer intervals are typically where you'll have the most freedom to experiment.

I’m doing this just with pen
Also I’m new with anime am I getting the head?

>>3278425
loomis

>>3278438
Do I need loomis?
I’m applying loomis to this damm is that bad?

When you say Loomis, do you speak of the book or is there an actual exercise to work with?

>>3278453
loomis's books are just generally a good introduction for learning proportions, anatomy, perspective, etc. so they're recommended into meme status
read Figure Drawing for all it's Worth and Fun with a Pencil

>>3278155
exaggerated and stylized loomis

yo

>>3278449
don't listen to him

>>3278495

>>3278293
Eh sorry, was it that spammy?
We usually share vids on that format on other boards

>>3278523
not really. but I've seen users complain about it on other boards tho

was just a guess

>>3278307
i dunno ,think it might need a redesign m8, but only if its not going to be a pain in the ass
