block the part of your brain that tells you to put effort into your drawing

it looks like they use the lasso tool a lot for shading. not sure what they actually do, but it gives a very anime-effect.

>>6163079
its probably the invisible line tool plus fill tool, which is also vector, so you dont have to draw it but can just adjust the line

Draw like crap

>>6163072
It doesn’t matter what programs you use or what digital techniques you try because it will never look authentic unless you can perfectly draw the same way they do. The way you composite a drawing shouldn’t be thing that defines it.
Lots of people depend on VHS filters and chromatic aberration to make a drawing look like a “80’s and 90’s anime” but the flawed analog technology isn’t what made that era of anime distinct, people just remember it because it was adjacent to when anime had a distinct look in the 80’s/90’s.
If it doesn’t already look convincing and professional on its own without the edits then you’re only matching half of the aesthetic and it will feel fake.

More importantly, they have likely 1% chance of doing it, ruining the expectations of others around them that spills through everyday life.

>>6163112
>authentic
We're talking about mass produced, economical drawings fit for animation that many people make a living off producing, retard. There is no special aesthetic too this like you're trying to suggest.

>>6163124
>that many people make a living off
and everyone will be able to tell which is the japanese industry professional and which is the amateur anime fan on twitter.

>>6163072
A lot of the anime look is post-processing/compositing. Just look at how colors "glow" in anime

>>6163157
>twitter
Ask me how I know you're one of those idiots making "AI destroying the industry" threads.

I couldn't give a fuck about twitter, or any social media. Just because idiots like you need financial incentive doesn't mean everyone does.

The key is to actually work for an animation studio, the truth is a whole fuckton of the animators that make these frames aren't drawing that way because it's their style but because they are following a studio established art style used by the head animators
They get multiple months of training when starting their first job to ensure they can copy the style on top of the art skills they are expected to already have, and then they are also for each scene drawing with reference based off already existing storyboards and frames made by the lead animators, and then also have each frame they make checked by those lead animators to ensure it's consistent with style and quality which if it isn't they give back advice and instructions having the animator redo the frames

If you don't wanna work on anime and can't speak Nip, you can try to learn the style by practicing recreating frames from anime for some months as well as looking at behind the scenes production stuff like storyboards or rough/pre-coloured frames on places like https://www.sakugabooru.com/post

>>6163072
what do you mean by your question? it seems to be contradicting itself
>how do you draw anime
>not the style but as if that was a show
>what tools to use
>what is the process
you ask about the style with those last questions
as to how to do it? there are countless of examples of official art on the boorus, you know the line art, shade layout, cropping frames on drawings, finished work etc.
how to make it look like a TV series?
well write a little story for the scene you want to draw?
think what the characters are supposed to be doing and draw them doing it
as for the backgrounds, just draw a background you wish for, what else are you supposed to do with it?

>>6163072
Anime is not a style, but regardless, the answer is Loomis

>>6163072
can someone explain to me why it's so extremely common for people to ask how to draw X thing here?
Just fucking draw it. What the fuck are you even asking? Look at the scene you're asking about, and replicate it. Why is this so hard to grasp?

>>6163211
You are such an illiterate moron it's hilarious. You're literally the only one in this thread to not understand what the OP is asking.

>>6163241
Just look up anime screenshot tutorial you absolute fucking retard (but in a friendly way). There are tutorials for retro style 80s/90s screenshots and also for modern. They’re all over the place as far as where they’re uploaded. I normally start with Pinterest but a lot of newer tutorials are uploaded to Instagram and TikTok because we live in the worst timeline. The tools you use vary by the program you use, so make sure your tutorial matches up so you’re not looking for CSP tools in PS. One other note is that your lines matter just as much as the rendering. Basically you can do all of the anime screenshot tutorials in the world and it’ll still look like a bad copy if your lines don’t look like anime screenshot lines. Look up anime genga to get a good idea of what your lines should look like and where shadows and highlights should go. Hope this helps. Also just fucking draw, man.

>>6163241
>With what brush
m8, if you wanna learn anime you should actually start travelling down the path and begin learning it, it's gonna take you years to get there and you'll read dozens of books worth of information far better and more concise then what you'll get here along the way, at the moments when you actually need them instead of jumbled all together like you're asking here. Even if you get incredibly long precise answers here it'll take you years to implement it all anyway so just start with what you've been presented
Did you know the majority of anime lineart is still made with pencil and paper on animation sheets?

>>6163252
I already knew you were an idiot, no need to double down on your stupidity.

>>6163269
It’s not my fault you’re incompetent. We’re all trying to help. If you have a problem with the attitude, fuck off back to twitter.

>>6163297
No, you're definitely a complete idiot. Your input has been utterly worthless.

>>6163235
>You're literally the only one in this thread to not understand what the OP is asking
yeah, because the others didnt even try to answer the stupid question, beside two answer regarding the "style", which OP in theory didnt ask for
next time word your questions better, you absolute faggot of an OP

>>6163307
Why do you keep doubling down on your stupidity, idiot? It's not my fault you're a worthless pissant moron with nothing to contribute. You're literally worthless trash lol.

>>6163072
16:9 aspect ratio with cel shaded characters and well-rendered backgrounds. try looking up the color designs of the anime you want to emulate, or an anime in the same style if you can't find it.

>>6163307
No, you were simply too stupid to comprehend a very basic question. Not my problem, idiot. Stick to elementary questions next time.

>>6163307
No, you just suck at reading and comprehension. Sorry moron.

>>6163223
>why it's so extremely common for people
it's only common to the handful of tardos that make spamming threads on /ic/ a way of life.

The biggest hurdle is trying to make the drawing convincing enough to make it look like the original source material.

But on the flip side, your able to hide your nsfw fanart much more easily and not get blacklisted by the industry.

>>6163072
Clean pencil lines, they scan the drawing then those lines become pixels, then the pixels are softened. That's it

>>6165077
How are the colors filled in/applied? What about shading/lighting?

>>6163072
Why does no one understand that OP is talking about post processing?

>>6165282
>What is the key to drawing
>What is the process animators use for drawing?
>Coloring?
>Shading?
>How are backgrounds created?
Maybe because he repeatedly asks again and again how to draw the components of a frame. Pretty much everything in the OP picture can be done with lineart drawing and a fill tool alone, the background probably only took a couple minutes with textures smacked into shapes and some blur
Of course there will be some post processing but that shit can vary wildly from anime to anime

>>6163102
Retas is not a thing anymore. It is succeeded by clip studio. As for what they currently use, it seems unclear. English information is not that accurate and I have not found a proper answer yet.

>>6165322
Clip studio is pretty popular, there are multiple softwares different studios use tho
I'll have to assume Clip studio is currently the most popular among most studios rn tho based on what I've seen

>>6165333
I have googled for a long time and the answers seem kind of vague. What I did find mentioned often was indeed clip studio and toon boom. Also apparently after effects is used for finishing touches. I also found a clip but I cant identify the program used, see picture.

Wish I could actually read japanese better its such a fucking hassle to read through this stuff and only understanding half of it.

>>6165422
That's after effects in the image
Toon boom is used primarily in the west for cartoon animation, not really Japan as it has it's own history of JP animation software tho I guess there might possibly be a couple studios that use it as it's pretty good software though I doubt it would be any major ones
You really should just go look this stuff up on youtube and follow the advice and resources from there, theres a bunch of channels that talk about the JP process ex. https://www.youtube.com/c/TonariAnimation or https://www.youtube.com/c/AnimatorDormitoryChannel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Un9_xitSseI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DSnKa--aMM

Lmao what a shitshow of thread.
Never change ic, proves that people here dont even draw

>>6165437
I did look on youtube but I missed conclusive answers I suppose. Either way ill look into the channels more thoroughly that you provided. The video on software was pretty straightforward and it seemed like the guy did a lot of research. Might just upgrade my clip studio on the next sale.

>>6165298
You literally just proved you have absolutely no idea, lol.

>>6163120
yeah, its actually funny how many times I was writing some question for /wsr/ and while researching how to phrase my problem better I actually ended up solving my problem.
can't say the same for /ic/ because I don't ask for advice here, only shitpost or post something I drew and see how people react

>>6163252
>you absolute fucking retard (but in a friendly way)
Finally, a post of charitable quality

>>6163184
Gotta get those body type B kids interested in women early on.

>>6163072
those guys are underpaid as fuck and they have to do a lot in a small amount of time, so it's not like they're striving for quality

It's not necessary, but if you're trying to go for actual "production" steps, it's not that hard kek. Besides having to be able to actually draw, usually, they use a hard pixel brush for lines since it's easier to color each cel that way, and use anti-aliasing plug-in in after effects. OLM has their in-house developed anti-aliasing tool available on their website for download.
There's also PSOFT's anti-aliasing plug in and clip studio paint has one built in but it kind of works like shit.
>>6163241
the glow effect is the last thing you'll ever want for your anime "screenshot" to look authentic it will always look like dog shit.

Either way most of these questions like how they do backgrounds and shade are pretty retarded because there's no secret to it. You just do it normally. if you can't figure it out, you need to learn how to do those things first before asking simple questions like those.

>>6163217
You're right, it's a crutch

>>6167594
>the glow effect is the last thing you'll ever want for your anime "screenshot" to look authentic it will always look like dog shit.
Explain.

>>6167701
I might be mistaking this for when people add gaussian blur to their line art rather than a 'glow' and thats my fault i guess. you have to be specific if you're going to ask questions like this. but gaussian blur makes it look like shit because most people go overboard with it and don't know how to use it in moderation.

I had the exact same question a few days ago. I found this, and it's pretty useful.
https://www.clipstudio.net/how-to-draw/archives/162911

I think a slight amount of blur works pretty well, add in some rim lighting / glow. But the biggest thing is just having a good looking drawing with good lighting, that matches the style you're trying to emulate.

>>6168677
Use the retro anime brush. Then use the VHS filter.

Hispanics and Mexicans. 100% them. The broken English gives it away too and the unapologetic worship of east over west. It's not like most if not all of modern jap animation is just continuation from Disney animation.

>>6169041
You say that but most of the cartoon porn i see is from Hispanics and Mexicans.
