Anyone know an artist similar to F4U's style. I know it's probably common to see, but is there anyone who specializes in this?

Right so I found this on a hentai site, but does anyone else get a really mellow feeling from this ? This evokes a memory in me that I feel like I never even had. Weird how a cover for hentai can do that

Why do you want to draw lolis?

>>3917501
Why wouldn't you?

>>3917501
Because I want to make art of a lot of loli characters I like
I don't want to draw only lolis tho

>>3917499
>This evokes a memory in me that I feel like I never even had.
i am familiar with this, but not this specific image and not that specific feeling

>>3917499
Art is great, isn't it?

have you tried applying the hitokaku stuff to imaginative work yet? i'm interested to see what people do with it. the hitokaku guy's actual art looks like shit to me even though his construction methods look cool

>>3917651
I only picked up drawing again a few weeks ago and I'm still /beg/ enough that I haven't really dared doing anything too imaginative and outside of my comfort zone, but I feel like his construction methods resonate much more with me personally, probably because I think primitive cubic/low-poly shapes are easier to twist and turn in my mind than approaches that rely more on organic spheres and masses that I've tried to learn from in the past.

>>3917179
>>3917140
yeah i thought the same wtf. the head doesnt match the body at all its proportioned terribly. head is lovely though on its own

No but I would kill myself if I keep producing bad art and I never get better.

>>3918398
pussy NGMI

>>3917695
No, it wouldn't kill me, but I'd like to at least have some idea of what I am doing instead of fumbling around blindly in the dark, and I'm not really at that stage yet. I'm not going to go full /ic/ redpill and grind nothing but boxes and construction for 5 years, but the qtπ anime girls can wait at least a little bit longer.

How do you guys practice expressions? I hate doing really bland faces all the time. Do you just have to copy faces from manga and shit?

Are the books in the mega collection enough to get me to drawing cute girls well? Or do I need Loomis and Hampton and all that shit?

>>3919381
why the fuck did you give peach a ponut mouth?

>>3919790
all of the good ones are in japanese and will be useless to you unless you can speak superior 日本語

>>3919794
What are some good ones? I've been learning Japanese and am willing to struggle through one if I know its worth it

>>3917140
KEK GET FUCKED ILYA

>>3919797
i'm quite fond of this one myself

>>3919794
Can't I just look at the pictures? Why do I need to read?

>>3919812
I guess you can learn that way but you'll miss half the information. Like you can learn anatomy by drawing gore but you won't get the insight from a professional artist like you would from goldfinger.

>>3919812
you're getting crabbed. yes you can get by with the pictures just fine. western anatomy is what all the japanese look to anyway with things like loomis, ham, etc. fundamentals and anatomy with stuff like steve huston/hampton/whatever and then the style with anime books.

>>3919826
So do you think I should look into Loomis, etc.? Or am I fine with just the Japanese books? Also what are the essential books in the mega in your opinion?

Also if it changes anything, I just want to do good fanart of characters I like, and just emulate the style of the original artist.

>>3919834
Just download everything and sample what you think is useful. Shits free, and it takes up little space. goddamn. You should skim through a book in ten minutes to learn whats inside and then decide if you want to really study from it.

>>3919834
yes but also what the other guy said, you should be able to look through a book and figure out it's something you want to learn or not. steve huston, hampton, vilppu drawing manual, jack hamm, and loomis in terms of instructional drawing books (loomis is actually more intermediate and i wouldn't recommend to a beginner). you can sample from japanese stuff but you'll realize most constructions boil down from a loomis type of construction. what you want to get from these books is a basic construction of head and the body/mannekin. i don't know your level. sample them all and see what sticks the most with you.

another copy (not traced)

how do you transition from copying to not copying?

>>3920136
You learn perspective, sketching, construction, anatomy, tone.

>>3919682
I liked this metaphor so much I decided to translate it

>>3920155
>grinded anatomy for months
>know all muscles, bones etc by heart.
>still can't draw a cute anime girl
yep this is literally me, how to level up the skill three?

>>3920162
The blurb on the page this is from says when your knowledge is higher you do more drawings to boost your skill level.

If your skill is higher than your knowledge, then reading more books to boost your knowledge level.

The reason why the gap can be bad is not being aware of it in the first place. Using the magic example the witch is still assuming her magic is level 3, so she feels like her magic is weaker than others when in reality it's because of the gap between knowledge and skill.

>>3920155

>>3920346
did you manually go over the lines to vary the thickness and fill in the corners of the intersections or is that just a feature of your brush

Is it fair to say Loomis method applies to DBZ, or am I just contriving the model to fit this picture?

>>3920833

>>3920330
line weights are really distracting, especially how thick joints are. a lot of tangents, juicebox arm is completely flat shapes because you have no hint of overlapping, her right leg is kinda over-rounded and elastic. similar problem with right leg as juice arm where it's completely flat but also isn't consistent anatomically with the pose. no other way to decsribe but bug-eyed: her right eye seems skewed the wrong way and too big. it should be less "deformed" and more like her left eye. cover up half the face with your hand, then cover up the other half and see if you can tell what i mean. really fat cheek, draw some real faces.

>>3920338
same distracting line weights problem. his left arm looks flat and broken. the cheek on her face in this angle is much more appropriate of a shape than the solo portrait. table perspective is completely different. are you using csp and drawing over 3d models or something?

>>3920346
this gives the impression of an image copied from a really distorted picture. his head seems like it's distorted in a wide angle photo/selfie. learn some basic arm muscle anatomy to make the forearms not look like fat tubes. feels like escher with the perspective of the upper and lower bodies not matching, even left to right side of the body. the right arm shouldn't be doing what it's doing in the upper part and still be able to touch the inner thigh let alone that close to the knee. do you have any construction of your drawings?

>>3920155
Cute

>>3920833
Loomis method can be applied to any reference, that's why it works. Whether it's a good method of construction from scratch is another question.

>>3920155
Thanks anon. Incredibly wholesome and brighten up my day a bit. Now I can feel like a cute little mage whenever I draw.

>>3920346
>>3920338
>>3920330
You need more loomis on your faces, not meming here, your faces are very inconsistent

Do you guys think it’s appealing to leave the skin white and only add pink blush ?

>>3921969
I'd say so. That's a nice shading you got going for the hair!
The head seems too large though, and there's something bothering me about the neck.
The hair strand next to the neck is causing a tangent, which confuses the reader and makes him read shapes that aren't there.
For example, due to that tangent, the stray line you left in the neck's shading makes it look like the neck is very tiny.
Which might not be that noticeable to some but when you see it, it can be confusing.

>>3922007
Oh ! Now that you mention it I see it, thanks for pointing it out. Tangents are always so tricky ahh, even the most subtle line can fuck up everything.

>>3918398
How are you going to get better if you don't produce bad art. Just draw something and put all your effort into it and if at the end you absolutely hate it just crumple it up and throw it away. You're not gonna get better by avoiding mistakes. Don't be so hard on yourself and enjoy the process of drawing and learning.

Chin isn't in the middle of the face, the seams on the bunny outfit don't match the twist of the torso, legs are short and her thigh is as thick as torso, boobs have no gravity and her left tittyflap is flat.

Hmm... I think the wrinkles on the clothes could use some work, as at the moment it just looks like you randomly placed lines instead of actually considering how drapery looks like. Try adding more detail around the pinches of the clothes (armpits, boobs etc.) You should also try adding folds around where the clothing hugs her skin, like pic related.

can you post some of the references you're working from? the arms are consistently too long and i'm not sure if that's the style of the artist you're working off of or not

Is it a bad idea to try and copy (not 1:1 but try to recreate) screenshots from anime? I want to start incorporating props and backgrounds

>>3925088
>long arms
ah good eye - I usually make the arms long because I also make torsos and legs long, but these look pretty gangly

here is ref

>>3925057
can you draw juri next?

>>3925104
Am I crabbing or is Chun-Li's head seriously fucked? It looks less like the standard anime alien head and more like a Chernobyl baby

>>3925137
yeah it's fucked, even for anime standards. you're not crabbing because crabbing is in the intent. it's really the main reason you need solid fundamentals before studying anime because you need to be able to tell whether you're studying off of a good image or not. i'll add that i'm not implying that >>3925057 has bad fundamentals either, because i'm sure he can tell that chun li's head is fucked too which could be why he didn't put her in the study

>>3925160
I just asked because I'm a beginner and it seems really wild to me that an artist at that level could make such a glaring mistake. I guess that's what happens when you only draw heads in front view, side view, and 3/4ths.

Do anime girl face seen from the bottom even exist?
In every work I see even from a worm's eye the head is always tilted forward to avoid drawing the chin recessing into the neck.
Anyone has a ref on how the anime head looks when tilted backward? I can do the realistic one just fine but it does look bad when simplified into anime girl.

>>3925191

>>3925191
good question...

>>3925191
煽り顔 描き方

>>3925191
yeah but more beginner artists don't know how to draw it.
they were really good at it int the 90s and pro artists do it well.
hentai artists and doujin artists are fantastic at that.

>>3920833
It doesn't look like it really helps to position the eyes in dbz style.

>>3925194
kinda weird
>>3925203
Tried pasting this in google image but it's mostly the loomis head that I already use which isn't very appealing (to me at least) when designing the female anime head seen from the bottom
>>3925209
any sauce?

>>3917142

>>3925228
Check danbooru tags? Some combination of the words: head up tilt back looking down?

What do you guys think of my loomis progression so far

>>3925285
That's what it's all about, using the fundamentals from loomis and modifying it to suit to your needs. Now start studying the proportions of your moeshit such as the distance between the eyes, and the bottom of the chin so you may become familiar with the formula on what we perceive as cute.

You have potential and highly suggest you leave these cancerous threads desu.

>>3925285
doing it right but watch horizontal symmetry, some of your faces are sliding down. also female chins are usually a tad less wide than male. most prominent on top right

>>3925191

>>3925301
thank you for the reply! yes the fundamentals have been very helpful especially at deconstructing a face that I see in any style. It makes you think of it in a different way and how you would draw it in a more concrete manner. One thing I noticed with the more cute anime style is that the sliced off side section of the loomis ball is much smaller, making the plane for the eyes wider than normal, to make room for their exaggerated size.
>highly suggest you leave these cancerous threads desu
and go where?
>>3925314
thank you I will keep that in mind

>>3925318
Normally wouldn't post this type of material because too many undeserving faggots but you're an exception, study this grid from /b/ and save the image before it gets removed >>>/b/799360014 and measure the features using the size of an eye. You will find a formula divided in thirds, though these proportions are also found in life this is a stylized version of that hence why we emphasize to study from life first so you may understand how we get these proportions and why.

Go to any other general that doesn't put an emphasis on copying.

>>3925327
Forgot to mention this is just one example of the many you may experiment with, but it would help you at least start with a baseline from which you may play around with.

>>3925327

A little off-topic, but is there any way to be decent at using the tablet? I still cannot use it as good as normal pencil

>>3925340
Try to align the tablet directly in front of the monitor you're using. It helps with the hand/eye coordination. Try using it to instead of the mouse so you get more use to it.


Are you completely new at using a tablet? if so:
-is it moving like a mouse (you're dragging the cursor as you move along) or does it automatically move along with the stylus?
If the former, you need to configure the tablet to use it as a pen instead of a mouse. That or your tablet driver might be outdated

>>3925340
I decreased the active area of it (wacom intuos pro medium, found the whole area to be too large to me), and increased pen sensitivity (so i wouldn't have to press so hard).
That alone worked well for me

>>3925358
It automatically moves along with the stylus. Just wondering if there is any trick in learning to use it. Guess nothing beats practice.

>>3925367
I am still using that bamboo fun I got years ago. Maybe I just need to use it more often as the other anon suggested.

Hey guys. I've been lurking on this thread for a while now and learned some really useful things things. I wonder if anyone has any suggestions to push my art a little bit further.

>>3925879

>>3925879
probably composition. there's no focal point of the painted sketch. everything's half finished, there's no direction of interest where eye should be looking, everything has the same amount of detail.

Does anyone know digital artists that draw in more realistic styles and would be a good examples to study? Like, styles with more delailed and defined facial features, but that still looks like manga/anime?

>>3926995
Yoh yoshinari
He's got some detailed painterly stuff in there too.

Why does the construction/ anatomy of girls on places like /h/ or /e/ seem generally better than somewhere like /c/ ? Is it just that amateurs tend to produce sfw whereas porn artists usually have a higher skill level? Or maybe people trying to get their nut are more picky about the quality of art they post. Just an observation.

>>3927464
post proof

>>3927464
or maybe, just maybe, because people who are naked are more obviously constructed than people who wear several layers of clothing

dummy

>>3927486
Just open a random thread from /c/ and then one from /e/. There's always something weird with the construction on /c/ but lewd pics generally look good.
>>3927497
I'm not even talking about bodies or clothes, mainly faces and heads

>>3927464
Uhh people post cute things on /c/ regardless if it's just a doodle or made up with fewer details/lines versus /h/ where it has to be somehow anatomically correct

>>3927514
ok that makes sense. I didn't know if I was being crazy or not

>>3925803
In your reference, prinz is looking straight to us, not down upon us, or at least not as extreme as your version tried to portray. But you kept the jaw's position the same and changed the rest. Maybe making her cranium, and hair, smaller to account for the perspective would help a little too, but not too sure.

the proportions are fucking insane but it looks nice, anon

I'm still really new to drawing and I started Fun With a Pencil a few days ago but I saw this screenshot from Kill la Kill and noticed the glasses guy in the bottom left's head is built pretty much the same way as the basic cartoon heads at the beginning of the book. His head is a rounded pill-ish shape, his cheeks are two big ovals, his chin is half a circle, etc. You can construct it exactly like Loomis says to do, just with the proportions a bit different. I know it's not exactly a cute anime girl but it's still unmistakably anime. Sorry if this is stupid or obvious to anyone, I'm just excited that I already found a way to apply this to something I like.

New to this. How the fuck do I convey an aquiline nose in anime style?

Don't give up anon

>>3929932
i couldn't tell the difference before but side by side this looks a lot better - right arm is kinda messed up though. really nice stuff, i'm really inspired to draw by fighting game stuff too and your work is an inspiration as well. i think your work could improve a lot with subtle anatomy hints with linework or rendering of major surface muscles (delts, quads, adductors, tensor fasciae latae, iliotibial band, triceps). you have great shapes everywhere else but skin areas are kinda just soft airbrushes/boring.

>>3929834

Pick one. The japs don't have noses in their art cuz they don't know how to draw any appealing nose (tip: it must not be hooked)

>>3930443
find anime that has noses that look like that. i can think of usually like unimportant older male characters in a fantasy town but nothing off the top of my head. maybe try that "drawing ojisan" book or whatever it's called. find things with european characters, something like logh even if it's dated.

that this guy has 9000 followers shows that normies just care about colors and big tits, because the anatomy isn't good at all, what the fuck is with those skinny, long-ass arms?

why? it's not even a good book lmao but some autists are obsessed with it

>>3931695
i wasn't going to say it but i absolutely agree. no idea why it's so popular. i mean it's fine

>>3931667
Isn't my favourite jap book ever, but I'm glad someone is finally taking steps in translating japanese drawing books

dont know how to actually practice, so i just copied some anime. i dont feel that this was very fruitful though.

is this supposed to actually help me when i draw on my own?

>Loomis is a meme

>>3932046
read Drawn to Life Vol 1 and 2. That'll teach you everything you need to start drawing today from model and from imagination (maybe not today cause it's ~800 pages long, lol)

good feedback - I'm almost at the mental state to study musculature. I realized the airbrushing is only as good as the understanding of the forms under it

>>3930178
This is not even good, honestly

>>3932530
heh

>>3928440
I drew it based on what the anon posted not really the reference.

The jaw line is actually not the same. It's hard to explain but if you drew the actual jaw line in that angle it will look really weird, uncanny. The line that looks "jaw line" should actually represents the shadow created by the lighting from above.
That's how I understand it anyways.

I'll work on drawing bodies tonight I promise

This guy is awesome.

>>3933713
Ah fair enough, didn't see that anon. And I think I see where you're coming from, but I still feel you could've used a bit of crosshatching to imply that shadow instead of a heavy line, like the one you did for the throat, otherwise it looks like her jawbone continues way past the chin and curves towards the throat.
Maybe the rest of what I said is the hairs fault, but that's on anime hair, shit doesn't really make sense It's okay, I'm a beginner so I'm probably way off and you can take with a big, fat rock of salt.

As much as people bad-mouth Harmony Gold, they opened a door that likely would have remained closed until Pokemon showed up.

They mystery on how to shade under the chin in this angle is finally solved my friends

>>3934311
>solved
I see - so just draw the titties big enough to distract from the chin

>>3934323
not him, but pretty much. in that game they hardly ever show under chin and actively frame poses not to. that's not an angle you should see in the game unless you're changing the angle with cheat engine. most of the shading in the game is just a regular thing you see for anime which would be the darker skin tone. for materials, gg uses just 3 colors which are mid tone, shadow tone, and highlight tone so the rest of under her chin should be shadow. however the lights for that pose aren't set up to show shadow because you're not supposed to see under.

>>3934323
the answer is TRIANGLES

>>3934311
What is the name of this big tiddy anime?

>>3934348
you say that, and while it's true these extreme angles are never see in game, it's pretty clear that the dev team did what they could to translate the anime aesthetic to any angle on a 3D model - like this one.

>>3934362
oh wait maybe this would've been better to show. Well, point is, I think this information is valuable.

>>3917501
Because I love little girls, they make me feel so good

>>3934362
>>3934367
it's not. the lighting and shader is meant to work specifically for the frame it's meant to be seen at from the camera. the models have custom normals to make their lives easier when they rig up lighting but it's not gospel if you're moving the camera freely

Wrong thread to be in, seek the rednose general.

Word nigga?

Let's say I've never tried to draw animu (which is bullshit), and that I only had one hour a day to practice my drawing and art, how should I be structuring that hour of practice to learn this style, what should I be doing and for how long? Copy reference, tried shit out on my own, study how to do eyes, hair, bodies, etc. ?

>>3935315
Show your work and I'll tell you what to work on.

>>3935365

I kinda feel like I regressed a bit cause I haven't been able to practice as consistently as a couple of months ago.

I also got an artist block going on right now, I got tired of only drawing lewds, but most of the time I sit down to draw now Idk what to do, I have no inspiration. My quality is also all over the place, though I know I suck at drawings with gnarly perspective, profile shots, hands and feet, and back shots.

>>3935392
sounds like you should just draw something light to keep you feelin good. Maybe focus on one of those things ur not good at.

Where do you go to for anime-style art to use for studies? Danbooru-style imageboards? Anime stills? Artists you like on social media?

You go to anime art that matches your preferences, son

What are these blue spots? Are they even blue or am I color blind?

>>3936420
Reflected light/artistic liberty. Shadows have a lot of leeway for color choice. Use a color picker. Probably just gray that looks blue next to the rest.

>>3936420
Don't you know that humans are bluish under their skin? If you look at old oil paintings you'll see both blue and yellow hues on the skin as they used blue as a base colour.

>>3936425
>>3936424
Well my theory was that it's a reflection of the sky. You know how shadows are a bit blueish in a really good weather?
But then it's blue only in a few places

>>3936425
Why you're so dumb, human blood is blue?. The blue color is just reflection of the sky.

>>3936435
dude, just take a 5-second glance at your wrists and you will see that some of your veins are blue

>>3936471
I mean, this is correct but here>>3936420 the bluish tint comes from some other source. Most likely sky.

Today I copied anime.

>>3936435
No hoper brainlet who is ngmi

>>3936420
first of all, don't use shitty paintings like that for studying. use great artists.

second its the reflection of sky, plus, when something is warm, the opposite generally tends to look cooler. Same as if the light source is cool, the shadows generally look warmer.

>>3936488
I'm not using it for studying I just stumbled upon it and got confused by all these colors on the skin. My maximum is the base color of the skin and some lighting. I have a hard time understanding where do half of these colors come from and it made me realize how far away I am from actually being good.

Reptilian detected.

how big are your lineart brushes and canvas anons?
Recently switched to digital and it's pretty confusing especially with the resolution shenanigans.
Looks like I have to work big like 5000x3000 px then reduce the size when I'm done.
care to share your process for drawing cute anime girls?

>>3936481
Still trying to figure this out.

>>3936200
vague question, but how did you get to where you are inking wise? was it mostly studies? I struggle with sketching digitally so sticking to using brush and pen on paper and going through guptill pen & ink

>>3936781

I draw at 6k x 8.5k and 600 DPI for a basic anime girl full body drawing.

Sow to get better at character designing? Or how often ideas can pop up. Sometimes they just click in my head and other times I am blank minded for an extensive time. At least when I aim for something specific.

>>3936828
I love inking, it’s my favorite part of drawing. I used to just stop at pencil sketches because my inking made the sketch lifeless, but I started drawing in only pen and it really helped with line economy.

I also used to be afraid of ruining my sketch by inking over it, but I learned not to get so attached. Also, go to completion every time: Sketch > ink > color and your process will speed up.

Tldr - mileage?

>>3937101
inking my favorite part too, i just struggle with the sketch stage before and like you said it's mileage. i sketch mainly in ballpoint but you're right about going to completion. that'll be my number one priority this summer. i have so many sketches but struggle when it comes from going medium detail to small detail. thanks

Where do I even start

>>3937132
By not copying from anime.

>>3937133
But I want to draw animu.

>>3937134
Then draw it utilizing the fundamentals. You are on this site enough to have become immersed in moeshit to the point you may start drawing independently without copy. Copying will get you nowhere fast and inflate your dunning kruger like the rest of these fags ITT.

The more copies I am doing the more I'm amazed how even the slightest and most subtle deviation in certain strokes (particularly eyelashes/eyelids and the jawline) can completely make or break a drawing.

More heads from /c/.

>>3917138
Should I use vectors to make the lineart? Help please

>>3937620
This is even more true when doing portraits from real models.

Its also why sight-size is so effective because its much easier to get proportions exact when you can compare your drawing vs the model directly side by side.

Fucking watch anime?

does anyone have a pdf / scan of this book ?

>>3938669
I bought it (and its follow-up on character designs) a while back but I wouldn't be able to scan it in non-potato quality and I'm not really keen on taking the pages apart for clean scans. Is there anything particular in the book you would like to see?

It's not really that useful of a book in my opinion, it only really explores invoking animal traits in character designs and poses. The introductory pages and the first third of the meat of the book by YANAMi is stellar with lots of "x-ray"-style anatomical diagrams and explanations, but the other two artists are fairly amateurish and don't really teach much. The kimono drawing book and YANAMi's assorted Pixiv tutorials in the mega in the OP has the same types of diagrams (some are the exact same!) so if nothing else you could study those.

>>3938795
i was just interested in the parts where it goes into drawing manga characters in general, as well as balanced poses, but i suppose i could find similar stuff elsewhere, nonetheless ty for the help

>>3938815
I used the iPad's document scanner to scan the introductory section with the basics, it's not the best quality and a bit distorted but you might still find it useful as reference. It's only 11 pages.

Will i really get better at stylization by copying other artists? I am using loomis for these but i feel whenever i try to draw something from imagination i'm too retarded to stylize the face by myself and can't remember the style choices that the artists that i copied used.

>>3940399
seconding this question, I can draw on model when using references, but I'm seeking to develop my own style to resemble other artists I like.

>>3940399
You need to dissect and analyze how the artist stylize their work, not just mindlessly copying it.

>>3940399
>Will i really get better at stylization by copying other artists?
you learn tools and techniques that you can break down and invent new figures with your own understanding of them. it's not mindlessly "copying", it's studies that go into your visual warehouse to be accessed in the future

>>3940438
>>3940435

if the legs are crossed then their knees shouldn't be symmetrical

that's a really weird-looking pose; try doing it yourself and consider how awkward it feels

the simplistic stylization makes the character's torso look unnaturally tall

I actually like the soft edges around the hair and rendering of the eyes

just, work on your anatomy
