Why You Should Copy Anime:
https://i.imgur.com/zNDsyF0
https://youtu.be/t_IODIIYAe0

**Strive for quantity AND quality.**

Anime Studying:
>Copy anime references exactly and draw them from memory. Use illustrations, screenshots, anime figures, 3D models, etc.
>Don’t copy recklessly. Use construction, color theory, and other fundamental concepts to rehearse a drawing process that you can later easily manipulate for original artwork.
>Post all of your anime studies. Post even when you’re told not to. Create an art community that actually draws and improves together instead of just talking about it.
>Number your attempts and link to your previous posts.
>Critiquers should lead by example by posting their studies.

General Anime Style Discussion:
>Questions about achieving certain styles/techniques/compositions etc.
>Drawing methods, study habits, resources, tutorials, tools, software, etc
>Be specific and try to post a sample of your study attempts before asking for help.

**Draw copies from good anime styled references to mindfully up our mileage, internalize appealing aesthetics, and learn from each other’s processes and knowledge.**

Thanks, this helps a lot too. So from what I understand seeing how this improved it, I'm trying to play it too save with drawing shapes and end up making everything formless with straight lines for arms and the collar bones, and for the faces I'm never too sure, but I should've tried to make the mouth placed as an anime would typically do like how you did. I know the shoulders to arms should have that bump but I always end up not drawing it because I worry about it looking wrong at the angle I suppose

No. It's all picked in preproduction. Pick 3-4 colors for each material: midtone, shadow, highlight. Midtone is usually the most saturated. The chart is also due to what's broadcast safe on NTSC TV.

Your values are off (make both black and white you'll see what I mean) and you need to learn how to blend with soft edges. You ever mess with opacity/flow in your brushes or are you just going at it with a soft round at 100%?

He literally color picked the values. They are close enough it's just the unfinished white parts and white background throwing it off.

>> No.4526006

>>4525864
You should try it with a lower opacity and flow and build it up instead of blowing it out full force, alternatively you could use a blur tool on it a bit.

>>4525992
Yeah, you know color picking isn't 100% accurate though, right? You can pick a color or value off of a strong spot and plop it down making it look wrong. Especially if you don't understand value and color completely this shit can throw you off.

Am determined to get better with hair. As it stands anything Long and flowey or just generally more complex I can't seem to wrap my mind around. What're some resources you guys found that helped make things click?

My process is mostly blocking out things and forms with big brushes and steadily refining shit until it looks right, which I can't seem to figure out how to do when it comes to hair.

Not sure what to do.

also yes, I know the hand is fucked..

>>4526237
you have none of the understanding of form, colors, or line weight of the original, if thats what you mean by "soul"

you need to construct and actually ask yourself what the original artist was thinking when he was drawing
there are some parts like the hair where its entirely obvious you just threw down lines for the outer contour without considering the actual form.

there are other things to crit too, but you'll learn more from trying to identify them yourself

draw a lot using construction and trying to understand forms

personally reading hampton and bridgman helped
so did dynamic sketching and trying to figure out how Krenz handles drapery

always break things down into simple shapes in perspective and draw cross contour lines

pic rel. example of how understanding of the 3D form of an object (e.x. a flower) can be applied to construction from imagination for something else (a dress)

You can tell because the rest of the drawing is an absolute train wreck because you could not find another tutorial to help you with drawing a figure. Stop trying to find tutorials and start making real life observations from the figure, reference off a real model in a similar pose and use your head.
