Just refer him to Loomis and he will surpass you in less than a year.

>>4267201
>not posting an anime girl image
I think you should stop being a fake.

>>4267201
just teach him at your level, he's fuckin 9

Get him a sketch book and tell him to copy stuff until he’s old enough for loomis. He’s probably going to get bored in a few days though

>>4267201
>I told him to ask me in a year when I get better
jesus christ anon it's a 9 year old stop acting like a spaz. just teach him how to doodle cartoony shit step by step like those children cartooning books.

try to have fun drawing for once in your life, your 9 yo nephew is not going to judge you if your drawing isn’t perfect so you should be able to throw caution to the wind and just have fun teaching him loomis heads or cartoons or whatever.

>>4267201
Find a decent how to draw manga book and learn from it together. He thinks you're cool; you might as well spend time with him and learn some tricks too.

>>4267201
Learn how to construct an anime head and learn proportions then teach it to him. He's just a kid, his drawings are gonna suck whether or not you're good anyways.

>>4267208
I should probably clarify that I don’t even have an anime style. He just saw my drawing and somehow assumed it was to do with manga

>>4267203

>>4267201
get him some pencils and a cheap sketchbook for his birthday next year, he will appreciate someone caring about his interests

>>4267226
you are perfectly capable of teaching a fucking 9 year old to draw an anime face
>>4267216
>>4267217
>>4267223
>>4267225
>>4267243
all of this

>>4267201
Just teach him basic construction. You don't even have to know shit about drawing jap style That's really as far as you need to go. I think he can figure it out from there.

>>4267225
Yea. Fuck learning the proportions of an actual human head. Skip all that complicated portrait shit and skip straight into anatomy. Then your Nephew will be another generic anime artists like most of the people on this board.

>>4267201
Give him a loomis book, and tell the tard to study the living shit out of it.

>>4267265
Anon, he's nine.

>>4267201
>show him pic related etc., cure his symbol drawing and make him see his artwork objectively
>turn him into a child prodigy, also guilt him into sharing the money with you so you can live as an eternal NEET

Just teach him what you can, teaching him will also help you to get better at drawing since you will put more though into actually understanding what are you doing, in order to explain it to him in simplest possible way

>>4267265
Lmao you've never had to spend much time around kids have you? They don't give a fuck at that age they just want to get into drawing and they're going to find a way to draw what they want one way or another. It's better to teach them legitimate anime proportions and construction guides rather than leave them to go seek it out themselves and end up drawing like crilley or something.

I taught my nephew some super basic animu shit a few years ago and he found that he really enjoys drawing. Gave him some art supplies and a few books. Lately he's been annoyed with how limited he is by anime style only and has been practicing fundamentals with me. When I sit down to draw fruit for a study, he's next to me drawing fruit and asking for advice when he's stuck.

If anime gets kids interested in art and you guide them to fundamentals when they get sick of symbol drawing, I see nothing wrong with it. As long as they're having fun and getting into art, who cares?

>>4267265
it's a 9 year old, bro

I’m just venting you sensitive cunts.

Teach that kid whatever they want to learn.

I’m just a bit put off by the fact that most people here skip portrait drawing and use anime faces and weird head proportions to draw a head just to skip to the rest of the anatomy—which isn’t even as difficult. Just look at the draw thread.

>>4267306
>calling us sensitive cunts
>going on a rant because a 9 year old wants to draw anime
aight

>>4267308
>Going on a rant because literal adults use anime as a crutch.

Take a reading comprehension class buddy.

>>4267265
This is the average poster on /ic/

>>4267312
this is a thread about a 9 year old

>>4267201
All the people here have no clue about mentoring, what the fuck.
You have to chase him away with a stick to test his determination. If he doesn't drop after being beaten for 6 months you accept him as your disciple. For the first two years, you send him on errands like fetching water and splitting logs. Then you tell him how to sharpen a pencil and have him sharpen your pencils for another year. After buying yourself these three years and six months to master Loomis you tell him to start grinding boxes.

teach him how to draw misty from pokemon peeing behind the bushes. thats what i wanted to draw when i was around that age.

>see 12 year old niece at christmas
>she gets a sketchbook and pencils from grandma ( my mom)
>she starts drawing horses and her mom goes on about how she likes to draw
>show her horse construction reference
>Show her how to use the kneaded eraser to lighten construction lines
>show her Frazettas horses
>show her draw a box
Am I doing it right?

It was only last night. Kind of sad to see, but her mom is dumb as a rock and has no personality so the kid is growing up in (american) football and country music culture. When I was talking to her she was a bit dismissive as kids are at that age. But when I showed her how she could draw a horse from more than just profile if she learns how to apply the construction she seemed genuinely interested. I see a lot of myself in her and how she was raised, in our family art is encouraged but not nurtured because everyone is just dumb. So theres a lot of back patting and "dang, u draw gud!" But nothing constructive. I hope I made some kind of impact.

>>4274609
I think you did good. The rest is up to her.

>>4274609
Just don't overwhelm her or make her feel bad about her current art

>>4267201
just draw with the kiddo, he will see you as the art good and look up to you and have good memories. he doesn't care about your skills. it's fun.
