why

Okay, it was funny the first time, and even funnier second time but third fourth fifth and sixth time is just too much.

>>3827048

>>3827048
fuck you, you only hate it because its new

thoughts on my anime character?

>>3827019
what the fuck did i fucking miss

Cute thread for CUTE people!

>>3827304
I honestly thought these were all different artists.

BASED OP pic.

>>3827304
i like 2 and 5's coloring a lot. the hardest part for me are like you said, the cheekbone bump. it always looks wrong to me and my work ends up looking more jp westaboo. hair is next on my list to conquer

Gonna lewd raphtalia to practice lineart with my new tablet.

>>3827537
Going good so far.

Seriously though, how much mileage can I get out of just copying other peoples work? Can I really get good just copying manga and never attending a real art class?

>>3827737
Not if you copy that artist lmao.

>>3827737
You should probably grind some fundies while also copying anime

>>3827843
what are you tryi g to prove here? both are shit

>>3827848
oh pic unrelated, just wanted to draw the cute girl, my advice still stands though

Is this the right place if I'm not interested in drawing bowls of fruit or ugly naked people?

>>3827843
Cute. Keep at it and one day you'll be showered with (you)'s.

>>3827291
spam

What's the anime version of merc_wip.jpg?

>>3828049
It's not to be spoken of, but it exists.

>>3826985
Obviously by just posting on /ic/ and not actually drawing and doing studies.

>>3828063
Eeeh, no wonder Sagiri is a tensai illustrator!

>>3828063
The gains! I can feel them already!!

>>3828063
>>3828066
>>3828067
GMI

>>3827962
Yes, now you can draw bowls of anime girls and cute naked anime girls.

>>3828288
w-what if i want to draw cute naked anime boys

>>3828297
Draw a girl and call it a boy. Everyone's doing it.

>>3828318
sugoi

>>3827537
Anatomy might be wrong because no ref.

>>3828542
you need to learn how to clothes, linework is good

>>3828557
Fuck, i fucked up the chest with those lines and the lasso. I don't know why i didn't see it before

>>3828567
forgot to mention the torso is a bit to short in the pelvis area compared to his chest/ribcage

>>3828571
Could've told me that before when i posted >>3827537, huh...

>>3828576
i tried a redline , usually the pelvis is about 3/4 of the ribcage size

>>3828604
>redline

>>3828611
oh well you know what i mean

All the artist/art being emulated in this thread are pure garbage except >>3826984

trying a more complicated design from last thread

I miss refdump anon, I wish he were still here

>>3829521
what do you want to see? not him but i can trawl through some things i've recently scraped

I enjoy sketching in pen, it’s relaxing desu

another zero effort
this is kind of fun though, and i learn more than grinding fundies

>>3830251
So things learned
>i flatten shit out
>i'm really lazy
>saturation areas are important
>more curvature than you think at first glance, lots of soft curves and planes tilted at delicate angles
>eyes are hexagons or half-hexagons??
>high contrast vs low contrast areas

>>3830251
>>3830253
Should get past effort and laziness. Would get you massive gains.

>>3830253
?? you can learn that without copying

>>3830255
it's more obvious to copy then compare your shit to the original and you can see what you did wrong/are lacking
also for some reason just posting to 4chan and opening it like any other image file here makes it clearer than just looking at it in krita. same pixels, idk. more objectivity when posted?
>>3830254
no point putting huge effort into a study? rather put it in my own shit and just transfer the lessons.

>>3830260
still can't get the shapes exactly. 20 min job no rendering

>>3830326
You're doing good. Keep it up for a couple months and you'll see massive improvement.

>>3830332
thanks...this thread has good ideas. hope to draw more nicely. everything i do now just looks a bit off.

>>3830156
Cute girl poses please, preferably asians. Because western women are bleh. If it's not asking for too much, I'd like poses or pics with focus on drapery and perhaps legs, thanks in advance!

>>3830326
>>3830251
How did you begin to pick up painting and how do you proceed from the initial steps? painting style makes me moist but I've always cowered off from it. Could you please point me to some direction

>>3830476
This except western are fine as well. Could you dump an archive of what you have?

>>3830520

>>3826978
The most skillful thing about this image has nothing to do with anime, which is ironic considering the thread name.

I know you aren't seriously saying that you're studying how to draw 3 curved lines and one of them is erased in the middle.

>>3830484
Instead of seeing things in lines, see them as planes (shapes) of color. Only use lines when necessary (like light skin against a white background) and do edge control. Just practice. if you really can't get it, unironically paint a fruit bowl.
>>3830540
why bother posting in thread? fuck off.

Guess it's time to go back and study loomis head

>>3830682
Don't draw anime with Loomis until you can draw real faces with Loomis

>>3830221
underrated

>>3830685
It’s rated about right. Totally flat

>Trace over other peoples work
>Looks good but learn nothing

>Try to copy by eye
>Looks fucking awful, every line is wrong

>>3830697
>learn nothing
then you are not doing it right. when I started tracing Ive learn small new things at first, but Ive notice a difference with my imagination drawing after Ive traced so much I couldnt tell anymore if I am learning something or not. But I already knew how some objects looked like from memory and how to imagine and turn those 3d objects in my head. What tracing helped me with was being able to put those ideas on paper.

I guess tracing its like a multiplier. But multiplying 0 its still 0. So do some life studies anon, also focus on memory drawing more. Look at a pic. draw it from memory without loooking, then compare the 2, see what you missed, added or mistaken, then redraw it from memory. Repeat as many times as you feel the need with multiple objects to form a 3d image of them in your head. You might get stressed when you try to draw an object from an angle where you cant see in the pic all its details, I recommend putting those parts in shadows and focus on what you know. Down the line when you will find another pic with the same object from different angle, you can do the same but this time you will have your old memory so there should be less "shadows" for you.

Rinse and repeat, then come back to tracing.

>>3830743
post work faggot or it doesn't work

not the most awesome stuff in the world but I am starting to enjoy my own drawings

Haha. Take a screenshot on your telephono then upload

>>3826985
By drawing broken foreshortened arms.

>>3830846
explain

>>3830844
what difference would make since both pics would be done with the phone?

>>3830858
4chan strips exif data

>>3830860
but I dont post from my phone, I still have to save it on my pc and then post, like I did the first time. too much effort anyway for this. just tilt your head or save it and rotate, and delete later

>>3830868

>>3830929
It's a joke pal. No need to be a sperg because you needed an explanation to something you don't get

>>3829521
I'm busy with work these days sorry anon

>>3830697
git gud

>>3830967
I can probably post some refs over the weekend if I can dig though my folders. I guess it's time I start drawing animu studies again

>>3830967
>>3830975
It's okay to take your time, I don't wanna hurry you. Please just post some refs when you do have the free time. In the meantime I'll help myself to the dumps you did on old threads.

>>3830692
Isn’t the whole point of anime... for it to be 2D ? Especially as a sketch...

>>3831271
that's wrong bitch

>>3831303
Stoopid pussy bitch, why don’t you go back to grinding studies of masters whose skill level you’ll never reach because you have no passion for art

>>3831271
It's actually supposed to be curved

>>3831312
The face looks even more flat than the drawing you criticised for being flat though, in the other one there wasn’t even a body to use curved lines on ?

>>3831315
It was just banter.

>>3831327
... am I autistic

>>3831329
Well, this is not the worst time or place to figure these things out.

>>3831336
I’m genuinely a very slow and gullible person... I should probably get tested

>>3831345
I used to be a cringe lord myself, but after making friends and getting a job, I feel better about my place in the world.

>>3831360
Yeah I should probably get a job, trying to do commissions at the moment but no ones interested

>>3831369
It's time to get a real job. It'll do you more good than just making money, but will also keep you sane.
>>3831461
Sorry, I have to stay pure for my waifu
>>3831479
But Anon, pic related isn't me nor does it convey any message.
>>3831483
Nor did anyone want your uninsightful, unentertaining, and nonconstructive commentary

>>3831489
An avatar doesn't have to literally be of you retard. You're clearly using an avatar, just stop.
>uninsightful, unentertaining, and nonconstructive
You are shitting up this thread meant for studies with your useless doodles. Do you think you are being insightful, entertaining, and constructive yourself?

The rapthalia sketch got me 30 followers, now i'm gonna try surfing the pokemon trend.
She's gonna have some clothes (maybe some brah showing, i don't know. The monkey might be on her lap

>>3831495
Dude this is really cute, well done. Hope to see it finished sometime

>>3831495
stop chicken scratching, seriously it's not hard. use pen and paper in addition to digital, learn to draw lines instead of that shit

>>3831500
It's just a draft, i'm "chicken scratching" because i like to use a VERY small brush when sketching digitaly, not because i can't do lines. I don't scratch on paper and sketching on paper to scan it later is autism. Show me your lineart. >>3828542 Here's mine.

>>3831499
Thanks, anon.

>>3831495
I really like the way the boobs is going to be pushed. Put those arms somewhere though.

>>3831495
Really? It's that easy to get followers? Maybe I should jump on this shield hero train.

>>3831495
you chose the correct starter to include.

>>3830221
I find sketching in pen to be a very effective way of caging yourself to a comfort zone and reaffirming the mistakes you're used to.

>>3831800
Awh I do see what you mean, I try to not let that happen to me though- before each sketch I actually think about what I want to draw.

How exactly do I learn construction from tracing anime?

>>3832376
You could draw over simple construction forms instead of tracing contours.

>>3832376
trace anime figurines and models

>>3832376
You don't.
>>3832391
No

>>3832408
there is nothing wrong with TRACING to LEARN and PRACTICE with the stuff you enjoy from other artists to form your own style and self understanding. underfuckingstand that. tracing to promote while saying it is yours is a fucking obvious no and retard way of "i got something done guys l-look!"

>>3832412
>there is nothing wrong with TRACING to LEARN and PRACTICE
No there isn't, but doing this with anime is a waste of time.

>>3832435
youre not wrong

Don't lie, how many of you abuse the ctrl+z every time you start doing clean line art

I've been wanting to post this for a bit but /beg/ is down and there's no real progression thread up, so I'll roll the dice and put it here.
I drew the same character every day for 100 days.
Be honest, am I gonna make it?

>>3832578
At first glance I thought you were improving but then i realized you just copied every single one of those drawings.

>>3832578
no

>>3832578
You can make it if you study fundies

>>3832578
>>3830876

>>3832583
Not all, probably closer to a third are copies/studies, a third are using references from the net, and a third are generically posed or done by posing in front of the mirror.

>>3832618
>>3832621
I expected as much. Back to Loomis.

>>3827843
It looks great, don't listen to >>3827848. Just keep practicing.

>>3832376
learn real anatomy from something like scott eaton anatomy. do ecorche of anime based on real anatomy knowledge.

>>3832578
Yes, most people can’t even draw for 100 days.

>>3832376
It's not that great. Go to Loomis. Tracing anime shells are better for picking up more nuanced stuff for creating textures or stylization. Basic construction does you not much good trying to get it from anime. Just use real life for that stuff.

How do you make anime faces? Everytime I draw the head shape and jaw line it looks good but once I put eyes or ears on it, it looks like shit.

>>3832818
Seconding this with what 'how to draw anime' books/guides you guys would recommend?

>>3832818
>>3832862
studying real expressions, then simplifying them for anime.

>>3832870
If I could at least get this good at drawing I would be happy for right now. Simple but good enough to jerk it to.

>>3832926
>those eyes
I've never seen an anime with such tiny eyes before.

Doing clean line art makes the area around my middle fingers knuckle hurt really bad for some reason.

>>3832578
Not really

>>3832950
how hard are you holding your pen?

Does this look cute? If not, what can I do to improve it?

>>3832984
yeah, that's probably it, it's a bit hard to control my lines if i don't hold it firmly though

>>3832990
Use some line weight, and draw the hair better, her head looks deformed on the left
This might not be the style you were going for but here

>>3832926
that's like 2 months of drawing

>>3832818
I'm not that good, but I find that creating from simple forms and playing around with ideas before you get serous helps immensely help guide the drafting process.

>>3833178
Got a blog? You seem like a fun person.

>>3832578
How did you manage to draw so many drawings of the same subject yet learn so little from each iteration. Are you even actively using your brain to analyse what you're doing? The act of drawing her for 100 days is still commendable though. That's certainly not something I can pull off.

>>3833178
That's an ugly ass way of stylizing the nose. Please settle for a more appealing symbol. The girl's cute if only she just had a standard issue anime nose.

>>3833201
>can’t even draw for 100 days
>he thinks also thinks 100 is a lot
Anon is in for a rude awakening.

>>3833125
>2 months
Incorrect because I've been drawing for 2 months and I'm no where near that

>>3833253
you're confusing drawing with painting

>>3832950
Any tips for doing lineart? Brush type and what have you?

>>3832990
Are you nasekii?

>>3833322
I used a pencil with these settings in Sai.
Just go over your initial sketch with it, make sure you're lines are connected and smooth and then go over them once again in areas where they need some line weight.
I also use the stabilizer on 10 when inking

>>3833351
>Sai

>tfw Krita peasant

Guess I'll see if I can find a conversion chart for your settings.

Thanks for the tips though!

How does the construction work on a pose like pic related and from those types of angles?

I can see the gesture line but I get really confused with what the hips are doing or what they would look like at the construction stage.

>>3833370
May not answer your question, but if you know how boxes work, you just use a box for the hip direction then just draw the ass over that.

>>3833372
kinda like this?

>>3833383
completely wrong and ignoring the tilt of the pelvis. if you can't do this, study actual anatomy.

well even on actual anotomy I still can't see it, Are you saying the front face of the box pelivis should be facing a bit lower so that the viewer can see it more?

gotta get better gotta obtain the drawing anime powers

So I just find an artist I like and copy their work until I'm as good as them? Is that how it works?

>>3833564
Thats part of it, yes.

>>3833567
And I copy by printing out and tracing their work? Or should I display it on the screen and eyeball it?

>>3833564
study your favorite artists while still grinding fundies

>>3833328
No, I don't know who that is.
Why do you ask?

>>3833568
Both. And do some studies where draw the ref from memory, and then compare to the original and see what you got wrong.

>>3833414
You can do it, Anon.

>Really good eyes
>So so head
>Awful body

How to break this curse?

>>3833626
Make studies on individual body parts

Really hammers home how much better 2D is compared to real life

What sort of time frame does it take to start seeing improvements?

>>3833719
Years

>>3833719
I'd say 10-20 years before it becomes noticeable

>>3833626
Literally the opposite here. How do you get really good eyes?

>>3833723
Seriously?

>>3833902
no

>>3833902
It’s still a better train of thought to keep in mind rather than wanting to improve quickly. Ten to twenty years is good.

>>3833957
nigger its not gonna take 10 years just to improve, if you work diligently

>>3833902
6 months if youre good at absorbing things
5 years minimum if you're beg but already knows anime aesthetic
10-20 years if youre beg with absolutely zero knowledge on anything

>>3834433
Fair enough

>>3833719
It'll take 10 or so years to make it. This is assuming you draw 21 hours a week and accounting for the fact that you will drop off at some point when life gets in the way and you'll pick it back up. This also assumes you read the sticky and don't waste 6 months on draw in boxes.
If you want to get there faster, draw more and put more brain process in power into it. The most important part though is to have fun and don't burn out

just messing around from imagination or whatever, any advice?

>>3834629
Draft more and doodle more before you commit. It looks shoddy, and is shoddy, because you made it shoddy

>>3834629
Eyes are stickers plastered on the face. They have volume and various inclinations to them. Also, easily ugliest nose I've ever seen unless the intention was to make a pig-nosed orc girl. Lastly, her cranium is in the wrong perspective. As it is now, she has what it takes to be a xenophorm.

>>3835037
*Eyes are not

>>3832736

>>3835912
Blog?

>>3835921
may i ask what you mean by that

>>3835887
nope. All-rounder

I tried to change the pose a little bit.
bad arms, bad hands, probably bad angle on the boobs too

>>3836190
Cute effort.

>>3836190
lmao

>>3832376
tracing its a good way to learn, but not for construction. you could learn construction by drawing from memory

>>3832950
when I draw for long period of times with a 6B my hand starts to hurt, but when I switch for an 2B it gets better. I used to draw with soft pencils because I like the dark lines, but I switched to harder pencils since not getting any resistance when drawing makes me hold the pencil tight for stability. when meeting resistance while drawing most of my force goes into pushing the pencil around and not trying to stabilize it. maybe thats your problem, see if you have any stylus tips which are less sleepery

Being copying / drawing cute girl faces from all the anime / manga I consume over the last week. I'm not seeing much improvement to be honest. When will my superpowers appear?

>>3836368
>When will my superpowers appear?

You don't have any power? Sidekick!

Are there no rips of Palmie courses anywhere? 12k yen/mo is a bit too much for me.

First attempt, any critique? I'm quite pleased with it even though I know it's not up to a professional standard

>>3836588
work on perspective and proportion

>>3836368
Try drawing them from memory, not focusing on completion, but iterating several times. People say this kind of thing works for improvement, not that I would know, though.

>>3836588
the more i look at it the worse it gets
>>>/beg/

>>3836524
That's $12 to rip everything in a month

>>3836618
$120 a month. If it was $12, I'd legit subscribe and keep my subscription even.

Can anyone post some progress pics of gains from just copying anime? I'm finding it hard to believe

>>3836588
kill it with fire

>>3836588
I like it. It’s got soul.

>>3836626
pyw

I try to draw characters from a show in the length of their OP for practice.
I took a little longer on this One but I hope it looks ok.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5OJPUXJvHk

>>3837089
nice, good colors. small nits. some lines are a little pointy for my taste like the pelvis, her right shoulder, and the breast. unevenness of line weight for the v-taper of the internal oblique or whatever that is because the belt isn't there. i like the original's left sleeve a bit more.

>>3836190
I suggest grinding real life anatomy and studying stylized body of women but good job for the effort

>>3836626
You can't really get gains from copying anime alone. Gotta combine it with other fundies

>>3837089
Those calves need more curves

>>3837117
Just to add >>3836626, anime helps in stylizing your work imo but it doesn't really save you from being beg to pro tier

>>3837089
Soul vs Soulless.

>>3837095
thanks for the feedback!

>>3837117
>Those calves need more curves
you're right. i rushed out the legs to try out colouring on csp. super happy with it so far btw

>You can't really get gains from copying anime alone. Gotta combine it with other fundies
this. it doesn't replace your anatomy studies, gesture, etc at all. it's definitely useful but you can only get so far with it alone

>>3837089
Thank you hungry skeleton.

>>3836626
I mean i'm still shit but just slightly less.

>>3837378
>Draw this again
>Draws something different
Bravo Nolan

What am I doing wrong?

>>3836588
2 years too early for a pose with intense foreshortening when you can't even pull off basic proportions. Cute effort, still. Sticky or /beg/ will help you a lot.

>>3838190
>implying it’s ever too early
Have low goals and you’ll never be more than average.

>anatomy
>perspective
i just want to draw sexy anime girls and buffed boys, nothing hyper-realistic.
Any other basic thing i should study?

>>3838462
Ask after you’ve done anatomy and perspective study for a year.

No ref, tried doing clean lineart. This shit takes way too long.
I'll probably just go with the tumblr/twitter wack loose sketchy "style".

>>3838488
Good job, it looks great

>>3838488
How long did it take?

>>3838488
>looks better than anything I've ever done even though we're both not more than /beg/ tier
Give me your skills.

It felt almost like an hour. Can't tell for sure because i wasn't doing just the face.

>>3838536
Art sucks, man. I rage quitted so many times this week i don't even wanna make it anymore.

This took about 20 minutes. How is it?

>>3838545
Can't tell if you're being serious, but it needs some Pin2d (AKA loomis). Keep drawing, anon!

>>3838541
>can draw this appealing
You better not quit. You don't need to make it, just don't quit even if it sucks. Production is all you need to do.

>>3838541
did you use a water colour brush for the skin/hair colour there?
I can't for the life of me find a nice csp brush that can create colour like that. whenever I try with the oil brushes they build up and it looks awful. I just want a flat base colour.
if it is watercolour though gonna get on them instead of using oil & ink. I'd try right now if I was at home.
neat stuff also btw anonkun

>>3838580
wow

>>3838580
You're mad, anon. They are just flat colors, i didn't even begin the rendering. Just color pick them
with the eye dropper.
I used the standard CSP flat brush to block out, no opacity.

>>3838580
turn off mix ground, retard. learn to use the fucking app.

This shit is way harder than I expected
at least I get do draw smug anime grills

>>3838600
maybe I was doing something silly with opacity, then, not entirely sure. real slow at learning the program. I don't know what you mean by I'm mad, though.
thanks for the response!
>>3838602
that was my first try, still built up, just not as harshly. thanks though!

>>3838742
u got that

>>3838548
>Can't tell if you're being serious
That bad, huh?

>>3838742
I like your study better than the original desu

finished this today, although i think the hands are way small desu

>>3838742
practice line confidence my dude. Avoid chicken scratches as much as possible

>>3836626
Get out of this "one true method that will give you powers and all other learning method won't ever teach you anything" because the more you dwell on it, the less you'll be drawing and Just DrawTM is unironically an actually effective way of learning. Of course, assuming you have a working brain that can assess what you're doing and take lessons from it. This whole "good learning method" concept only came to be because people are literally too lazy to put in work and want to find shortcuts to what they do.

>>3838207
It's like putting the cart before the horse. You can't learn anything from doing something you don't even have any idea of, winging it does nothing to your improvement. This is exactly the mindset that people on deviantart who draws the shittiest figure with blazing good rendering. There's a reason why fundies are called fundies, exactly because they are fundamental and necessary to anything you do.

>>3838795
Here's one I did with a subject matter I'm more familiar with, I've been kinda working on line confidence and that last one was a warm up/the first thing I drew today

>>3838849
Pretty solid, i like it a lot. You should really do some research on how the wrist joint works tho.
Good job, keep going.

>>3838742
The construction is a bit off but don't listen to >>3838795, you're just drawing loose, it's fine.
Your process doesn't matter that much as long as the final result is good. Here's a "chicken scratched" sketch.
It's from Hews btw.

>>3838855
that looks great, what show is that from anon?

>>3838862
Re:zero
Btw, can somebody give their opinion on this?: >>3838790

>>3838790
Cute. The left eye is a bit higher than the right.

Should work on straightening out your lines.

>try to join discord

This discord must be super legit if it requires payment to get in.

>>3838790
It's her head and shoulders are somewhat skewed to the left, try mirroring it and it should become more apparent.

>>3838743
make sure the brush is in normal mode and not something like multiply. i can't stand multiply brushes which is what you'll get with a lot of watercolor brushes. it's impossible to tell what color you'll get next.

>>3837153
let the man do his master studies

>>3838862
somebody post the pic, you know the one, the long one

How can you tell if the faces that you draw are appealing or not?

How fast can you draw a decent anime girl?

>>3839297
appealing is something subjective anon

>>3836815
nice. thats also a neat idea actually i might steal

>>3839297
Cute faces

>>3839297
Surely you yourself know which faces you've drawn are cute?

>>3833678
>>3833675

>>3833672
thank you found the artist name. really amazing how they convert 3D to 2D and and just give it more life.

There was also a guy who did something similar here in the west but i forgot his name.

tried my hand at drawing 3d then sticking a anime head on top. anygood ?

>>3839297
>How can you tell if the faces that you draw are appealing or not?
unironically walk away from the computer for half an hour and do something else, then come back.

>>3839301
10-20 mins for a doodle, 20+ with a decent lineart

>>3838742
Head's to small, but it's very good.

>>3839939
*too

Yeah I tried and I suck oh well

>>3838742
What you failed to realize is that in drawing manga the mouth is very rarely placed at the centerline of the head - purely for appeal. Animu takes a shitton of liberty in art that defies even the most basic rules of perspective and this is one of it.

Will I really get better just by drawing every day? You wouldn't lie to me would you?

>>3840662
Literally how else would you get better

>>3840662
But don't forget to study things

>>3840662
don't forget to turn your brain on

>>3840662
maybe

>>3840659
yuck

>>3840662
No don't draw everyday it's all a lie, listen to this >>3828063 guy

>>3840662
Yes anon it literally is that easy. So many dipshits here just go to 1000 boxes or grind Loomis. Your first year of art should be solely spent on drawing things you like. You need a passion for drawing before you can get good and if you don't have that then mindlessly grinding fundies isn't going to get you anywhere. If you like anime, go draw anime and just have fun with it. Challenge yourself and try new things, but don't just grind fundies. You must enjoy art before you can be good at it.

>>3840659
>>>/b/eg

>>3840738
This seems like good advice. I tried Loomis but I hate old men heads so I struggled and hated everything I drew even if it got the proportions right. But I also hate my anime drawings because I suck at drawing. How can I learn to love literal shit?

>>3840816
im here to stay, they told me to come here. so youre stuck with me now lad.

>>3840662
No you don't I draw once every 4 months and I get better you just need the japanese sekrits

>>3840939
w-what are the japanese sekrits, please!

>>3841089
Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me.

>>3840939
Is it like golf where you forget all your bad habits after the break and come back good and fresh?

>>3841131
>forgetting bad habits ever
No.

>>3841089
sorry
>>3841131
I don't know but it doesn't feel like a break really I still know what to do it just takes a bit of time to get used to it and remember what I learned like a few hours it's all written down anyway it's probably more like doing math

>>3840662
Yes just do it anon. Draw what you like
I agree with this anon.
>>3840738
I draw very inconsistently maybe once a week.once a month sometimes 3 times a year. I draw for fun. sometimes I spend an entire month grinding. point being just do it and try to spot mistakes and improve on them you do see resultseventually

I recommend getting a tablet and digital program. It helps alot to clean up your art and cheat a little.
>>3839549

>>3841366
huh never knew /ic/ was a no spoiler board.or did i mess up.

>>3841368
Ya it's no spoiler

Anyone have tips on how draw eyes? Should I draw the big oval in one stroke, or chicken scratch it and delete any outlines after? Slowly draw the right and left lines, then draw the top and bottom part of the circle after?
It's the hardest part for me so far, often I have to ctrlz lots of times to get the circle right.

>>3841654
Post your eye work so we can get an idea
