A good sketch leads to a good drawing, I'm not sure why you think it's fucking you over
I think it'll only be a bad if you're actually spending time cleaning up the sketch to put in said details rather than just naturally drawing it clean
but that's my onion

>>4506185
Nice bush

>>4506083
I have a problem where my line quality improves faster than my fundies, and it gets quite daunting.

>>4506185
Head shape doesn't make sense.

GMI anon are you still there?

>>4506223
>Head shape doesn't make sense.
I did spot that after posting, but if this still doesn't make sense then I'm not sure

>>4506229
stop being so needy. draw. only you can gmi it yourself, no one else can do that for you.

>>4506569
Oh fuck you got me I guess that work is flawless

Guys can I ask you some advice?

So I have an old mac air. I'm using a small wacom to draw on it. But its battery doesn't work so it isn't portable anymore, and it only turns on due to an old cable that gives it energy from a plug. It's cable is damaged so I expect my laptop to die one day (it has outlived it's life expectancy actually). And it's simply too old of a laptop to waste money repairing it (battery+ cable fees). I might as well buy a new one for what it costs to repair something that might fail soon anyway.

I had bought a 2019 iPad with an apple pencil because, above all it was portable and private. I just wanted to be able to draw alone because I'm shit and I don't like people seeing my studies. That's my biggest obstacle with drawing.

But I had second thoughts and I was considering returning it because I'm tired of ishit's planned obsolesce , and I wanted to just buy a laptop but then... due to the corona shit crisis I lost my main source of income, so no way of paying for a decent laptop even if I returned it.

So I have been drawing on my shit old mac feeling unworthy of my iPad. It's worth to me on it's portability and privacy not it's "horsepower" so to speak.

What should I do anons?

>>4506519
Bro, study hands. You'll have to draw them all the time, better get good now rather than later.

>>4506519
This is uh

something

>>4506569
Aight man give me a sec I'll fuckin redraw it. How about you do that too? Let's have a redline-off :)

>>4506595
I am willing to bet I have way shittier tools than you. Use this time to grind instead of worrying about things like that. Once the chinkvirus dies down, do what you must.

>>4506623
Sure kek

Just started drawing, I think the book is trying to tell me something .

>>4506641
It's says "draw", i can read it so you can trust me there

>>4506625

Oh I am not complaining about my tools being bad... but feeling somewhat unworthy of my ipad.

Hello fellow /ic/ weebs,
Can someone be kind of enough to explain what those colors mean in pic related and OP image?
I see them quite often in animation and would like to incorporate it into my work, but my smooth brain can’t understand exactly what it means. I think it has to do with shadows but the multiple colors throw me off.
Thanks bros.

>>4506704
Or if anyone knows what it’s called so I can google it myself? The vague terms I googled only returned digital art coloring techniques and coloring book pages.

>>4506704
it's shorthand to mark the color fills to be used for anime. all the choices for colors are made in preproduction and then the colorists just fill in what they have based on the scenes.

The colors look okay right? Wanted to try something different

>>4506717
forgot to include link, here's one i use from clip itself, the colors are used for other animation software to pick up the lines/areas
https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1691252

How do you properly convey volume before the rendering stage? Or is it all conveyed through the rendering.
Also, give me feedback, please.

>>4506519
Hey quick question, what exactly is she supposed to be doing? Running? Jumping? Twirling? I'm getting very mixed messages from this

>>4506734
The whole body is seen from above, but the neck (an as an extention head) isnt? It's like you superimposed a front shot and a body in different perspectives. This is why there's so much blank space in the upper body.
The hand are not resting on the floor/bench or whatever either. Draw guidelines on objects you'll rest hands against so you know what motion they should follow. Alwayssss use reference for hands if you're not good at them. Use your own if you must.

>>4506723
I like purple

>>4506734
does any of this sound right?

something feels off about the perspective-- as if some aspects of the drawing are trying to conform to a somewhat extreme top-down thing, and others aren't.
also, the pose looks kind of weird. firstly, if she's embarrassed, i think it's more natural for her to be leaning forward in shock, in a protective kind of gesture. it's also very symmetrical, which makes it to me look a little unnatural.

>>4506725
Not him but thanks. Do you know what the lower 8 colors are used for? I think it's highlight, shadows etc but I don't know all of them

The secret to making it is being able to fucking draw.

>>4507101
>being able to fucking draw
too hard for me :(

>>4506762
you're overthinking it. it's just a way to manually break up the colors for when they get scanned in and digitally colored. houses probably have a scheme they work with for it but it's preference. think of how many different types of tones there can be with clothes, hair, and skin. artists probably use most commonly things like red and blue because they often come in the same pencil, yellow, orange, and purple from what i can think of.

Is there anything good in this channel?

>>4507220
not a single tutorial?

>>4507225
nope
>t. haven't even clicked on the channel

>>4506723
A tip is set the purple shading layer to preserve opacity/alpha lock/whatever it's called in your program and then use an airbrush with a red color and paint along the inner parts. that'll make it look more natural and not so purple.

>>4507197
I liked their videos when I was more new to drawings, they typically pick out the very beginner mistake stuff to help. It's an alright channel

>>4507317
Very beginner artist here, is it ok for someone to copy an artist that has a very stylized and exaggerated style like Space Jin even if they don't know the fundamental stuff good enough ? Shouldn't anon try to copy a more "realistic" style first?

>BACKUP: http://www.mediafire.com/file/fcld4cnakg9bkei/MGR_Faces.7z/file

My previous 'Anime Faces' set wasn't really that great since I cut out the necks and I used a black background which blended the black outlines that people usually use on their Anime drawings.
In this new set, I used a nice grey background here (112=RGB). Something that isn't too blinding and makes the image pop out from the background.
I also made sure that the references here actually have necks and shoulders this time. I tried my best to show everything just below the clavicles which I feel is enough to see for a portrait drawing.
In DISCARDED I have a few not-so-great references. Some of them are a bit too blurry and others don't have a clear indication of the shoulders or neck but they are still there for anyone who still wants them.

Also, this is the last thing I'll upload here.
This place is way too damn toxic and spending too much time on here is honestly making me depressed as fuck.
>Thanks for the Video Courses though.

>>4507715
I'm not going to use these, but I appreciate the effort though. Good luck Anon

>>4507704
Just kidding. However, I recently found this on twitter. I really like his/her drawings.

>>4507733
I've noticed a few spic artists that can do nice anime stuff, so was curious there.

>>4507715
This is infinitely better, anon. Your a damn champion, I love you.

>>4507715
the one thing that would make this better is if you had the names of the characters and/or what franchise they are from in the file names

>>4506723
You have some light pillow shading going on there I would say. But nice job.

>>4507270
Yeahh I did forget to make the the purple shadow have a second hue, I started trying that trick occasionally with rendering
I wonder what to draw today

>>4507930
>not having a power level strong enough to know where each character series comes from at least up to 90%

The girl on the left looks like she’s from Freezing (anime) despite me never watching that show. The right and bottom left idk and the bottom right is from shinmai maou no testament.

How do I render things like fluids on top of the skin or surfaces? Like having a hard surface oozing with liquid

>>4508472
cover a hard surface with liquid and draw it/take a picture of it

>>4507746
Yeah, that picture I posted earlier was drawn by someone from south america. So maybe you can make it if you're a spic too.

The anon you replied Loomis to, has better flow and gesture to their pictures than you atm, even if the proportions aren't perfect. Gesture is far more important to giving a picture life.

>>4509294
nevermind found it https://quickposes.com/en/gestures/random

I tried taking my time with sketching today. Used real people as reference again, any feedback would be helpful. I was unsure with left especially around the back to her left shoulder part, the reference was clothed for the most part and some parts were hard to analyze. I had to edit Inori's face a lot and still couldn't get it right, I dunno my brain doesn't work

>>4509303
you have some understanding of perspective but i think your drawings can really improve if you focus on tightening up your angles. it looks like you're flattening out parts of the picture into an angle that you're already comfortable with drawing, instead of really analyzing the orientation of those parts. using real people as reference is a great way to study because reality introduces a lot of uncomfortable problems that can help us really improve. of course, sometimes the "real" angle of something just looks terrible and should be changed, but i don't think that's what's happening here. can you post the refs?

>>4509356
Sometimes I do try to change things if I know how but I'm really focused on trying to get draw mileage in so that maybe sometime later I know how to improve on what I'm observing. Both poses were out of my comfort zone at least

>>4509303
don't draw fish eyes

what were the countries that japs love

france and italy?

Tried to use my reference correctly while trying to keep the caricature proportions, I think it came out okay.

>>4509612
Fish eyes?

>>4509644
France but it has become a shithole. So much that there is something called the "Paris syndrome" because the reality of Paris clashes with the romanticizes vision they have.
Instead of class and romaticism you have pollution, noise, migrants and disgusting people in general
>t.french.

>>4509732
I'm sure he's talking about how I drew the side view eyes on the left. I didn't exactly use reference and tried to draw it how I believed to look somewhat correct, I shoulda probably pushed to flatten it more or something

>>4509728
loomis

>>4509738
Use real refs

>>4509926

>>4509962
There's no noticable fuck up. Good job Anon. Keep it up.
Though I would like to open the question after seeing this, when do you use hatching to shadow or grey tones?

>>4509980
I'm glad you like my image anon but when i invert the image there's clearly a discrepancy in the arm. also hatch and greyscale...idk i saw others do it hatching is fun that's it.

>>4509980
I forgot

>>4509956
Damn bro

>>4509962
>unironically coming here for any kind of help
ngmi

>>4510000
I think the arms no the problem but the whole body looks off balance. Draw a line right through the center of balance and it'll show how off it is.

>>4509945
from what i gather in the previous thread, it looks to me like the people who have a poor grasp on perspective tend not to find hitokaku very useful. if you're not confident with basic freehand perspective, you might want to brush up on that first. also, if you're having trouble with line quality on digital, try practicing traditionally
good luck

>>4509952
>it feels very flat try using values to show changes in the form

FTFY

>>4510168
I don't know. I like hatching more than colors to express form, but that's just my opinion

>>4509962
What brushes are you using?

>standard round brush with a texture
>What brushes are you using?

>>4510233

>>4510227
I'm using sai and I use the pencil tool which is round brush with paper 2 texture on 54 I typically use my Min size on 11% most comfortable for me when sketching, and my hard soft ration is 120%.

I did the same thing and the back still looked out of balance. It has to be redrawn.

I'm the opposite, I'm finding that after trying so many mannequins, perspective is exactly why I'm failing at figure drawing. And Hitokaku made a whole book about it!

Thank you anon! I will. You are an inspiration dude.

Loomis is a meme, but that doesn't mean you should neglect studying fundamental basics such as construction and anatomy. I feel you should spend some time in /beg/ before trying to study anime stylization. You can work on stylization as you get better, but right now I think studying anime will only get in your way.

I recently started doing digital art, I only been drawing a couple weeks now but from what the other anons said about drawing what I want for the mean time so I have enough mileage to do the fundies later on my a career, so I did my best shot in doing a digital coloring of an anime I scanned first from paper.

This isn't exactly copying an anime reference, but I have been emulating a few different Manga artists I like for years now, in an attempt to incorporate aspects of their styles into my own, as well as western super hero comic type art, and just traditional life-drawing.

Artists like Kenta Miura, Tetsuo Hara and Boichi are who I've been taking inspiration from for a long time now.

I just finished the pencil line-art and rendering on this piece, but I'm gonna take a break for now, and come back to it to do the inking.

Am I the only one who thinks his hips look like a hammer? They look so unnatural and broken.

>>4511845
not anime

>>4511912
The stiffness is something I can't really do much about, it's a byproduct of the way I draw, I don't presketch anything (as you can see in attached image, I just draw as I go), and I draw with my wrist entirely.

I also am not going to bother with his head anymore, I've redrawn it like 4 times...I've gone by the scale of his hands, he could cover his whole face with both of his hands (also his particular humanoid race have slightly elongated skulls, due to having gemstones embedded in their foreheads).

Friendly reminder that >>4508406 has been drawing for 2 years. Friendly reminder that he keeps giving bad advice. Friendly reminder he is on a toddler level in terms of skill. Friendly reminder that people keep replying to his rampant shitposting.

Friendly reminder that he is never gonna make it.

>I don't presketch anything (as you can see in attached image, I just draw as I go), and I draw with my wrist entirely

>>4506734
The arms are kinda fucky, and the neck doesn't match the perspective. Also, where your forms curve out of view (e.g. where the thigh meets the stocking), it's too sharp a transition. Circles don't have points, so try to draw out the curve and avoid sharp corners, 'cause that really flattens out your drawing.

>>4507568
Head looks too big.

>>4507568
Pretty good, I like it. One of the things you should aim for is perspective projection instead of orthogonal. I recommend checking drawabox.

>>4511945
Yes, they look dumb, but it's purposefully done.

>>4511895
So this is the power of turd polishing.

>>4511997
It's a bad habit of being self taught..I'm trying to stop myself from doing it, as for many years I would draw in pen, and get 75-80-90% of the way through a drawing, and then fuck something up severely, and just throw the picture in the trash.

Very rarely do I draw a full drawing in just ink these days, this would probably be the last one I did.

How about no?
Until then you can learn loomis.

I thought he was drawing for a few months for some reason.

Why is he so crabby if he draws for fun >>4511533

Hey bros, reposting my work from the random generated waifu thread.
Just started couple of weeks ago and don't know if I should post this here or on /beg/, but I'll try here first.

Can someone point out my mistakes here? I know its beyond fucked up but I can't even pin point exactly what went wrong.

Only thing I can see the eyes are not aligned correctly which I should work on.

>>4511976
>.
have you tried drawing a simple stick figure at least to start? it will help you get a better idea of at least proportions etc.

>>4512058
Draw it again but don't change the perspective, draw it exact as possible without tracing.

>>4511976
>The stiffness is something I can't really do much about
Uh. Yes you can.

>>4512066
Guess I'll do that for tomorrow's drawing, thanks brother.

>>4512019
Sure thing matey, keep it up, one day your subjects might not look like children with Polio...I could piss out a scribble in 5 minutes better than your beg-tier chicken-scratch, what are you even doing in this thread? It's anime study general, not disfigured children study.

>>4512058
I recommend to trace the image as best as you can don't feel guilty ur learning. however you should also study fundamentals and i mean the very basics get consistent at drawing lines than shapes than more abstract shapes than figures alongside your tracings aswell as studying from life. and of course loomis as redundant as that is. and don't claim traces as your own obviously.

>>4512058
unironically loomis

>>4512022
holy shit, thats amazing

>>4512022
Even though I don't like your taste, your stuff is pretty neat. I hope to be able to skip construction too some day

>>4512064
I don't pre-sketch anything, I just draw, sometimes I take reference from photos of body builders, like in this picture:

>>4512070
I've been drawing this way for decades since I was a child, it's ingrained in me, I try drawing with my arm instead of my wrist, but I dislike the lack of control in my strokes.

>>4512019
Why would you purposefully make your art unsettling and uncomfortable? Isn't that a waste of your time? Why not make something pretty?

>>4512104
yes i figured they were referenced, but if you cannot or will not try another approach then you will continue to get the same results or is this all you want to do?

>>4512101
>>4512103
Thanks guys, I honestly recommend just sticking to basic fundamentals, it's not worth the headache of attempting this method of drawing, because for all my decent looking drawings, there's hundreds inbetween that turn out looking janky and I just discard them, many wasted hours, as I've gotten older I'm not as passionate and dont draw often enough, and as a result, am too inconsistent...I suppose digital art would make this easier, maybe one day I'll pull my finger out of my ass and try to learn it, but there's just something about traditional art I like more than digital.

This is probably one of the only other ink only pictures I've done in recent times:

>>4512133
hajime no ippo art ya? cool

>>4512121
It's not all I do, I try other methods and mediums for a change every now and then, and probably alot of my issues could be alleviated by migrating to digital art, I did have a tablet awhile back, but had to sell it unfortunately, and didn't really delve into it properly.

Every once in awhile I just get the urge to do a highly detailed picture, this time around I tried crosshatching, which is not something I do very often, to try and make the character less flat, seems it hasn't done the trick..I'll keep grinding away at it, till it looks better, I'm in no rush, I only do this as a hobby.

>>4511971
Reasons why?

>>4511895
You are exactly who I fear ending up as.
You've clearly got a lot of experience behind you and yet you're still not "there", you don't have "it".
If someone posted this after drawing for a couple of years then I would say that's pretty cool, keep on going man, but if this is what you're doing after decades... ouch.

>>4512095
>>4512100
Alright, I'll just keep at doing learning fundamentals and incorporate tracing anime/manga to my for fun days.

Also, I've been watching and reading Vilppu instead of Loomis as some anon recommended me a while back, should I drop vilppu and start with Loomis instead?

>>4511827
The fun part is that I'm already doing that...

>>4512166
I've been drawing on and off, when I was younger I took it alot more seriously and was passionate about it, then in my early 20's I barely drew for nearly a decade, and now that I'm in my 30's I just do it for a pass time, I draw like a handful of drawings that I keep in a year, life gets in the way...all this crap about gmi, ngmi, means nothing to me, as I'm drawing for the pleasure of it, and to satisfy myself, I post here because I don't mind the crtis, and try to take stuff on board, in the hopes of generally improving, because it can't hurt to try.

>>4512212
I stopped drawing for like 15 years and I'm a lot older so you can do it bro!

Where can I find lots of high quality examples of naked or almost naked anime bodies?
Finding pro quality faces is very easy, but since most characters are drawn with clothes, it makes it harder to study the rest of the anatomy. I've mainly just been google image searching for bikini/underwear photos and also looking for porn of random characters on sites like danbooru. Any other good resources? Should I just look at random porn doujins?
Yes draw from life, etc etc, I'm already doing that too.

>>4510706
I think I'm starting to see the pattern hopefully I can be more consistent...

>>4512227
there is a bunch of stuff in the mega posting in OP check it out I got some good stuff from there

>>4512109
If I draw it big enough, maybe I'll get how it works, and just to remember it too.

>>4511827
Why Loomis tho? I don't really like It's method to draw heads (I already tried that method when I was trying to draw super-heroes instead of manga/anime). The anatomy chapter is kinda neat, but I have books that show more clearly how anatomy works.

>>4512260
holy shit LOOMIS please im begging you

>ctrl f loomis

please be quiet and just draw

>>4512305
why you counting yourself?

What's the point of this board and thread if all you are going to get is loomis spam.

I call this the loopzone, I draw on top of a sketch and try to draw something more detailed trying to make a pose I clearly can't draw, then I stop and think if it's anatomically correct flipping horizontally and vertically and zooming out, then I morph it using the transform tool, delete and redraw some parts 20 times, then and I'm not sure if what I did before was better or worse, I probably could have redrawn it again in one of the previous states without realizing it.

One time I think a redrew the entire face bit by bit until I thought it was better, only to find that if you compare it with the old state was literally the same but the head rotated like 10°. I nearly shitted my pants, too bad I don't have that drawing anymore I think.

>>4512425
btw this is a random drawing from a pixiv artist that has like no views and I wanted to show, I think it's pretty gud.

>>4512425

>>4512432
he (you) needs loomis.

Is there special way of making the highlight on the hair ?

>>4512407
>>4512433
>>4512438
sketchy kun please fuck off

>>4512433
So this is the power of loomis...

>>4512467
resize pls, you can use the brushtool called "highlight" or the program doesn't have it any soft brush and add the "highlight" blending mode, and just swipe a single stroke across that hair highlight.

Why did all the loomis posts get deleted, half of them weren't even me

>>4512433
Enjoy drawing fun faces, looser.

>>4512587
Spam from the same anon?

>>4507930
>So you can get distracted and look up the Anime instead of drawing?
No sir. These references were intended for GMIs in mind.

Thoughts?

>>4512762
flip your damn canvas

>>4512762
Copy more anime

Can I get good if I draw 10 minutes a day for one week?

>>4512807

>>4512762
Definitely not bad

>>4506172
feedback pls. the face feels a bit flat

>>4506710
they're called settei (I think)
sakugabooru is a good place to find more of what you've described.

also random sites like sadpanda will occasionally have random anime production scans under "artbooks"

>>4512854
no that's called genga
settei is character design sheets

https://www.sakugabooru.com/post?tags=genga+-animated this will have a lot of those kind of drawings if you're looking for not-animated stuff

>>4512807

Stop spamming.

How do you translate 2D anime cheeks into 3D space? I'm so bad at it.

>>4512892
based and redpilled.

loomisfag here, just letting you all know I stopped saying loomis like a while ago so any more loomis spam is not me

>>4513024
this is an anonymous board.

>>4513024

>>4513049
at least I don't use a tripcode, just had to clarify that
>>4513051
I'm a good boy I would never lie

>Still can't draw a face properly
I feel so sad. I keep trying learning material and I still keep failing over and over. Still cannot draw a proper head to save my life and everything is a struggle. I think there is something fundamentally wrong on how my brain is wired, every time I move one step forward I move three steps back

>>4512639
no, so I can study the artist's style, look up specific characters from different angles. I would definitely look up the franchise and get distracted as a side effect, though haha

>>4513388
>I think there is something fundamentally wrong on how my brain is wired
Everyone thinks that. You're not special.

Still need to fix the hands and feet if this is to become something more then just a studie.

About to start my first Huston video. Wish me luck.

>>4513598
Western as fuck

>>4511124
>>4513598
the body and shadow mapping looked great but the facial proportions are all off, head too small and missing the cranium. eyes need a complete redraw which i'm not touching lol, flip your canvas

use a bigger brush when you color hair. looks like doodoo and turned into shitty western pinup.

>>4513714
Thx yeah I feel like usually when I draw anime they come out looking alien like so I’ve been trying to lessen that a bit.

tried tracing today it made me notice more but does it hurt more than help?

>>4513797
Tracing is fine as long as you do it with purpose. You say you noticed stuff, then you're doing it right, Precurebro.

>>4513726
the proportions i've been using lately are a tweaked loomis which helps me get more consistent results. it doesn't deal with 1/3s, and it's easier to play around with. anime isn't quite loomis, usually the chins are a bit shorter. this 50 seconds shows roughly what i mean
https://youtu.be/W9_ac4-zHFQ?t=418

my process is to draw a "circle" with a line halfway through. put the eyes on the line or slightly under. halfway down is the nose, halfway down is the chin. then fuck around with the height of the hair until it feels right, no point in really thinking about the hairline since anime hair gets big. try to keep eyes at least 1.5x eye width apart depending on the angle.

i've found women tend to look better with the 1/2 split between features and chibi/younger/teen girls tend to have 1/3s between the features like in the image posted below your reply. it's not a hard and fast rule but it helps for more modern styles (older styles have the mouth really high up even for mature women). then add all the layers of hair/accessories, which you don't have to because you picked a based bob cut.

man FUCK lineart

>>4513894
This.
Just try going straight into painting after sketching.

>>4513894
I agree. I hate it and can't find any way to do it in digital that doesn't feel like a complete waste of time. I go from sketching to painting right over now. I can line just fine with pen/brush and paper but fuck digital inking. Feels like hours of my life gone for some shitty sketch. If I do do lineart then it tends to be at the very end or just for the face.

>>4513942
You will never be good at anime this way

>>4513797
Are you using a mouse?

I can't :(

It means there's no right method when it comes to art, unlike what all the idiots here preach.

>>4514180
research the quote made by Glenn vilppu yourself by reading his books or watching his videos. you gotta have some agency to make it friend

>>4514727
Keep whining on /ic/ like a dumb bitch

>>4514233
Stop drawing the same expression. Draw hands. Use references. I swear ive commented before that you draw what you think something looks like because youve seen it in art but that you dont actually understand what it is or what it looks like, though that mightve been for someone else.
Get out of your comfort zone. Youve been drawing the same dopey, surprised anime girl for awhile now. Draw a man, draw a different pose, draw a different angle, add some extreme foreshortening. Do something different.

can't draw the body

>>4515190
she looks very cute though :)

Thank you anons.

how do i into shading?

is there a youtube video i can watch of someone doing it, or a picture guide?

>>4515784
Put dark colors on first, then put the light colors ontop. Then shade your brights and darks

>>4515901
what brush do i use? do i mess with the opacity?
