If you just turn your brain off and mindlessly draw what you see, the benefit will be pretty minimal.
If you draw mindfully, if you draw with construction with the goal of improving your handling of basic forms for your own imagination drawing, if you go in with specific goals like "I have a hard time connecting the legs to the pelvis so I'm going to be on the lookout for how they do that in these frames", if you pause after each drawing to think about what you can do better for the next one and see if you can apply some of the techniques from this frame to some imagination sketches, if you pick a few frames to study hard and try and draw them from memory later, then yes, it will be helpful.

That studio traces cg

>>4516789
Proof

>>4516751
It's only anime so very little progress would be made

>>4516751
wait until irya chan makes it better

>>4516792
Some kill bill documentary on youtube. That studio is miserable as fuck and hate gits

>>4516751
Yep. As long as you supplement it with studying from life and using a sketchbook to draw from imagination.
Many inbetweeners get better by studying and redrawing the frames for key animators.

Not one single thing will make you a better artists. Lost of morons on here just want some magical cheat code to "make it." Most will bitch and complain like soiled children about the invests and focus required to improve.

Morons. I can guarantee none of you actually draw and mostly just like to shit post, and those of you that do are /beg/ tier

>>4516836
sheesh cool it down autist i'm just memeing about kuvshinov ruining a decent IP no need to get your panties up your cooch

>>4516836
Sorry if I just hurt your feelings on what I've said about anime but it's trash, simple as.

>>4516824
>no evidence
Yep totally gonna believe you there, retard.

>>4516751
No, but if you wanna do it go for it, fucking brainlet.

>>4516824
You're an idiot and do not know how anime production or Production I.G. works.

>>4516869
if you can't recognize the artistic and technical achievement that ghost in the shell represents then i don't know what to say to you. maybe you don't belong on this board?

I still marvel at the animation and background paintings. some which are only surpassed by maybe akira

to answer OPs question...yes! I believe some drawing will be a benefit. you would be training your observational skills first and foremost. would every frame be necessary? no i dont think so. just some key poses as long as you're paying attention to the forms and don't get caught up in the details.

>>4516909
Except I do. They fucking hate gits.

>>4516940

Agree, ghost in the shell is a masterwork. One of Japan’s top animated achievements

>>4516940
also, as long as you mix drawing cartoony/anime stuff with drawing from real life you will be good. It will help inform what you are seeing when you see other peoples drawings if you understand the basis for where those drawings come from.

and maybe check out this new book I recently purchased/discovered called Anatomy for Sculptors which is pretty awesome if you'd like to get into anatomy. it breaks down all the muscle groups and gives cross-sections/topological drawings of figures so you can better understand the shapes of different body parts.

>>4516751
question: not OP, but how do you even get every frame from an animated film?

>>4517057
i would also like to know this

>>4517057
>>4517085
the average iq on this board can't be double digits anymore

>>4517057

>>4517163
Yeah its in the negatives

>>4517057
>>4517085
Pretty sure you can just go frame by frame with VLC, maybe quicktime. Here's a website where you can actually buy the frames: https://animationscreencaps.com/

You should probably learn to read.

>If you just turn your brain off and mindlessly draw what you see, the benefit will be pretty minimal.
This is true no matter what the exercise is.

>>4516751
Yes, if you follow Effective Art Study guide

>>4517350
Not op, but can you post some examples of an “effective study guide”

>>4517338
ok moron

>>4516839
>DOOD ur autist
> doesn't deny that he's a shitposter and /beg/ tier
lol

>>4516940
thanks for being reasonable, anon.
lots of morons and shit posters on this board that don't even spend one minute drawing.

>bought the entire Ghost in the Shell movie as separate frames
Seems like I'm GMI. See ya, losers.

>>4517475
why deny the truth? best be open about my weaknesses anon

>>4516751

try it and see

>>4516751
>>4516770
Yes

What now, genius?

>Later, get accused of copying art

Don't post your copied art that's for learning purposes on social media and imply/claims it to be original work, it's not that hard retard.

>>4516945
>Except I do
>still no hard proof
lmao

Would redrawing every frame from the new gits series be good practice?

>>4516824
Bro, do you even know what you're chatting up?
That movie had Mamoru Oshii as its animation director, a prolific animator who is famous for his realistic hand drawn animation.

You can also use Adobe Media Encoder to convert videos into optimized PNGs.
I got the CS6 suite and I use Premier Pro to cut specific scenes of anime, then convert them to frames using AME.

>>4516751
Copying frames from a movie is one of the ways you study composition. Of course, you actually have to think about what you're drawing and study why things the way they are, assuming everything you see is placed intentionally.

>>4522531
you're not supposed to post those types of studies online retard

>>4516751
No, but inbetweening a whole movie to be smoother is.
It would be pretty similar to how they train young animators, and it should be good as long as you know your basics

>>4527115
>It would be pretty similar to how they train young animators
Could you elaborate on this?

When you get accepted into an anime studio there is a period of education and practice before you go into making keyframes or storyboards.
The task is called douga, and it is the process of tracing over the professional inbetween onto a new piece of paper to create the final clean frame, and draw inbetweens for the motion.
This is actually a really good way to learn, because you need good understanding of what you are drawing in order to do the final frame justice, and learning by inbetweening the work can teach you a lot as an animator.
It is worth mentioning that this is after you have been accepted into the studio, so if you are starting from 0, it may not be the best. You can try it out, see what you learn from it. I bet trying it on a few cuts would be educational, but if you are just starting out focus on fundamentals and getting better at drawing.

short answer yes, long answer yes.
