They study instead of sucking nip cock, unlike you, OP

A lot of artists--not just anime/manga artists--will straight up copy a reference, or even trace it, for certain body parts

>>3474682
The secret the pro anime artists don't want you to know is that they do lots of drawing.

>>3474684
>they study painting over photos
>nips suck nip cock

thx for outing yourself, faggot

>>3474682
its called tracing

>>3474682
actually why is the thigh on the right side so damn long.. compare the height of the knees. They look photo realistic, but the placement sucks badly. The "bro it's just perspective lol" doesn't apply here

Yet another /ic/ thread with some scrub op posting better people's work for himself and the other troglodytes to have a collective meltdown over

>>3474682
they have the spark
im sorry

literally tracing

What the fuck is going on with her left (right from the viewer's perspective) arm? way longer than the other and that hand is huge, reminds me of SFV

>>3474752
error
he clearly draw boobs and shoulders first

It's almost as if you can imply three-dimensional form using cast shadows and form shadows

>>3474775
this board made me hate anime

Photo ref was probably used, but probably not traced since the proportions don't look real

>>3474814
you can cut some knees out of a picture and paste them where you need trace them, brainlet

>>3474823
That would be tracing only a detail, not the whole picture. Was this thread about one detail only? No, it was not.

Besides what would even be the benefit of tracing the knees only? Are you saying the guy who draw the rest of the figure is so bad he could not copy some knees by eye?

>>3474825
the fuck are you talking about
tracing is tracing and that was the point of this thread

>>3474829
The OP said nothing about tracing. How is it the "point" of this thread?

>>3474682
No tracing here, probably just looked a reference, besides anime artists always try to make everything more detailed than the face to balance out how simple the face looks

>>3474682

BLOG???

>>3474832
op here, I'm actually a pro, but just wanted to discuss the pic and stir some conversation about tracing.

>>3474814

that's not the point, look at her right knee and the length of each thigh. If the right leg was supposed to imply that it's (in perspective) tilting forward, the knee would obviously bend and protrude to a distinguishable amount, and not remain in a neutral position (or in this case the knee is implying that the leg is moving inwards. which is even more messed up). Basically the artist didn't think about the principles, and just cut some knees from a photo.

>>3474682
There's good anime and bad anime. This here is an example of polished turd, which falls in the category of bad anime.
I hope this helps.

>>3474841
>realistic, _compared to_

Reading is hard.

>>3475675
Thing is, he could have used a reference wrong... without having traced it.

It's obvious he used reference. I can tell that straight away by looking at it. But how do you prove it was traced? Does that even matter? Why would it matter?

>>3475675
>op here
sure you are
>I'm actually a pro
sure you are

fucking kek

>>3475828
"I'm a pro" "no ur not" "show ur work" are such memes at this point I don't even bother to comment on it anymore
I suggest you stop wasting time on it too.

>>3475675
Also I'm not convinced by your explanation that it's wrong. It looks pretty much right to me. Here's a ref for comparison.

>>3474682
Just draw realistic legs and cartoon everything else

Started reading this thread thinking I would get some good advice and interesting insight but all I got was cancer.

>>3474871
> that image

cringe

>>3475848
if you don't see how those 2 knees are different from the flipped/mirror knees of op you are never gonna make it

>>3478028
>flipped/mirror knees
What? Are you trying to meme with me?

>>3478046
what the fuck are the lines down the middle supposed to be? I guess you can just draw inaccurate construction to suit ur narrative these days

>>3478058
>what the fuck are the lines down the middle supposed to be?
The middle vertical line of the front face of the leg.
Can we now agree they are the same, since you seemed to confirm it with your redundant trace as well?

>>3478058
you only did a trace of the outside shapes, he did a construction of the inside elements, gj proving you have no idea what you are talking about

>>3478065
your centerlines are meaningless because they add nothing to the conversation. the orientation of the legs was never called into question, the state of the knees were. one is compressed and they other is relaxed, are you blind?

>>3478078
the trace I did isn't about the contour and if you knew how to read youd understand that. just because someone added fake construction doesn't mean its accurate construction lmfao

lmao

>insane levels of autism
That's why you are a NGMI posting on this board instead of being a pro artist.
Fucking idiot.

>>3475831
You're right.

>>3478241
the retards who don't understand that post are the ones who will never make it

go study up on your loomis you autist
