can I post hentai studies

>>6232794
no nigger

>>6232794
sure why not

Tried to apply Villpu but something gone wrong.

>>6232833

How is this?

>>6232773
>>6232764
I'm asking what to do i do after using fundamentals to copy a drawing.
Like where to go from there?
How do make my own things from that, if the answer is obvious i really don't know

>>6232776
doing eyes from various manga.
I really like the ones from one piece

>>6232859
i overdrew a bit, hope that is ok.
she's cute, good luck

>>6232842
Idk how to overcome bloating with box construction. Like it's intuitive thing. Formfeeling was easier bit not so good for shoulders, it's a cursed part for me.

>>6232859
She’s built like a brick shithouse. Could use a bit of a diet.

>>6233052
I used a reference, I'm not good enough to make changes yet

how are my colors? just practice.
>>6232859
>>6232929
leg and arm are too long. especially the leg if no perspective is applied.

>>6232776
This Krenz guy doesn't have any full courses available in English does he?

>>6233180
he doesnt know kek

>>6233057
Yeah I’d study anatomy and proportion first, anon. You’ll get there. I believe in you!

>>6232871
the best advice i have is to focus specifically on practicing one thing at a time and just draw. it is a grind that has to be done. the best thing when you dont know where to go or what to do and you are utterly confused is to just draw. that really is the ultimate answer. put in the time and effort and leave the rest to the muse.

>>6233188
Pls do tell

>>6233188
where do i get these?
i found one kenz course but it was pretty lacking and didnt have this

>>6232794
Yes anythibg from exhentai will do.

>>6233325
Kek just do erik olson. You could finish it in 3 weeks as if you were playing a 100hr jrpg game

>>6232794
anon, this is a NSFW board, go nuts.

>>6233202
The legs are so wrong it's utterly retarded.

What kind of pen pressure are you guys using with CSP? I'm just a beginner but using the default I have to press hard to even do a decent line at all and it gets tiring after some time.

>>6233514
>I have to press hard
dont pls
https://youtu.be/YfnIzM-Mg_Q

>>6233520
Thanks. For now I'm copying that guy's setting as a base and adjust it later. It feels better to draw now than the previous setting, but it's a bit messy. Must be because of the pen I'm using (Real G-pen).

>>6230588
progress since yesterday i'm trying to draw this side dress thingy but it's hard

>>6233541
>I'm just a beginner
>Real G-pen
stop
min 4:40
https://youtu.be/_vydC4wUwsw?t=280
the brush she recommend to use(I got from her fanbox) https://files.catbox.moe/ijyngc.zip
and in my exp g-pen, real g-pen, mapping pen, etc are not for beginners.
pro tip:
dont use black when you are doing the sketch, try using other color like dark blue/red, why?
because your brain thinks that black is like the final line art even if it's a sketch, try blue or red, you should able to draw with more confidence.

>>6233576
Thanks I'll take a look later. Honestly I think the pen pressure and a good pen have been filters for me for progressing with drawing digital.

I feel as if i'm blind. It feels really difficult to look at a line and then try to copy it. There are so many lines that curve slightly. I know i'm doing the line wrong because my image doesn't look like what i'm copying. Do I try to measure out the lines with a ruler and a grid to see the exact bend or do I try to feel it out.

God, I wish I could draw cute girls and lots of stuff.

trying to get out of my comfort zone by minimizing undo and using a brush that wont give me anything extra.

There's no way I can draw this fast.

>>6233780
That's the goal. I was thinking some days ago while practicing I kind of need to also know like fashion design as well. I need to know what I want to draw even if i'm able to draw it. I worry that I wont have great dress ideas and such. I should start a folder of all the different things I like so I can always look at it I know i'm not going to remember everything I like without being reminded of it.

>>6233783
You're cool! Double cool because can not only spherical sketch in vacuum but manga.

>>6232776
What does Anon think of this?

Studies

>>6233983

>>6233987

>>6233547
you need to fix and learn how to draw hands

>>6233471
Legs? What legs?

>spend hours copying out a small manga panel
>looks like shit
suffering

>>6232929
Looks pretty good anon, her arm looks a bit long imo, other than that, pretty good proportionally

>>6234348
You realize thighs are part of the legs, right?

>>6233823
Hot.

>>6233983
>>6233987
>>6233991
very cool
prompts?

>>6234105
thanks for the feedback, is this better?

>>6234731
yes that hand is miles better that the first one, sadly the proportion of the arm is beyond fucked , if you look carefully she has some sabaniya arm

>>6234743
yeah i was going to ask about that, you mean the right arm right? how about the left, is that fucked with the position of the hand aswell?

>>6234754
the forearm is way too long, but im sure that cropping the hand and placingt higher after shortenin g the forearm is p easy

>>6234760
im talking about the forearm on the left or her right arm, the arm behind the leg is the one that will need the hand and arm to be done again

>>6234760
>>6234762
cheers anon i'll work on that

Working on this commision

>>6234762
>>6234743

wait it's not that fucked is it

arms can bend like this right

>>6234932
Is this Gains Goblin?

>>6234935
Aye, it is

Jannies/mods do something about these: >>6234724
Get informed. It's not innocent at all.

>>6235054
Who hurt you, Karen?

Does this uhhhhhhh work?

I just started trying to copy heads and im utterly trash at it... I find when I use my imagination I am able to do so much better. I must not have the necessary observation skills for this shit. I wont give up though ill keep going and get stronger.

>>6235541
ayy lmao's

>>6235869
>when I use my imagination I am able to do so much better
Show please. What construction you use? Also is your own head style looks like what you try to copy?

>start krenz meme
>literally struggling to copy the first doggo
give it to me straight guys, how terminal is my case of ngmi

>>6236221
pyw

>>6234885
her lower body is bended forward and the leg is too, this would make the hand impossible to reach her tight when her arm is straigt downwards.

>>6234718
Thank you!

Why does painting make no fuck'n sense. how do people like FuyaFuya paint. or even OP. is there like a brush size or something i'm not using?
>>6232776

>>6236359
you have bigger problems than brushes kek

>>6236363
kekkers, very informative. kek

>>6233051
You're focussing too hard on the box. It's just a general guideline for you to fill in. If you don't know what to fill it in with, learn how to construct those forms.

>>6236359
learn your fundies

>>6236400
kek why?

>>6236400
Anon, come out and play'eee.. you pussy.

>>6236307
this legit took me like 2 hours

>>6236441
you're failing because this is the first time you're doing it. Do you think everyone just rides their bike for the first time and never falls? no, first time you fail, then you try again knowing what you now know. That's the basic idea behind learning anon.

I don't really care if this took hours, the idea of practice is that you do it, fail, and try again until you can do it. Human beings learn, that's completely normal.

Of course, if you now decide to give up because your first try went shit and took long, you're NGMI.

>>6236493
Oh yeah, drawing is probably 5000x as hard as riding a bike, so of course you're gonna fail at least 5000x more than when you learned to ride a bike, or learned to ride a car or whatever is normal where you're from

>>6236359
Kekking all it takes is a good eye and a hard round brush kek

>>6236564
i did do that, but i didn't like the look. and it doesn't feel smooth like line drawing does.

Please advice anime with some oversimplified chibi-ish style to ref from. I can remember only Manabi Staright, Nichijou and (maybe?) Hidamari Sketch.

>>6236646
I want to ejaculate inside hakase so badly...

>>6236694
You're awful. I won't draw and do something relate to cute girls and fanservice because of you noisy perverts. Because noisy moralfags will be blame and cancel me for all what you does. Why can't you just f*p silently in your dark corners? You're ruining everything.

>>6233074
how long have you been drawing for anon?

>>6236712
i've been drawing steady my second year. i usually draw every other day when i can. i put more detail and time into the nsfw stuff. me
>>6236596
i was a perma'beg not that long ago, so there is hope for everyone. but i'm also grateful for having nice fans who encouraged me early on too.

>>6236204

>>6236359
>>6236596
I like where you are going with this

>>6237257
total recall

What you guys think? Just simple India ink and some micron pens

>>6237326
Not anime but I love Shinkawa

>>6237329
>Not anime
he might aswell be

you you drew 2 versions including 1 SFW and 1 NFSW, is it better for exposure to post separate posts or include them in 1 post?

Not even asian genes can save you.

>>6237506
I'm assuming the sfw version will have better exposure on Twitter. This is probably why people put hearts and stuff over nipples. But I'm not entirely sure.

>>6236709
This is our dark corners anon

>>6233576
Beg her, not the other anon, but thanks a lot for the brush. I have to ask, why this brush is more comfortable than G-pen? I feel i need to be more accuarate pressing the pen.

Also, is it cheating if i use the Figure (Continous Curve) tool in Clip Studio for Line Art? Or i should ust keep practice with the normal brush?

>>6237506
When I do both sfw and nsfw latter one is a patreon exclusive (with no fucking patreon logo on the nipples in peoples timeline)

About a week and a half drawing experience. Found a new head construction method I'm trying out. From Imagination.

>>6238626
Forgot the drawing

Currently back doing my monkey training

>>6238847
based bruteforce enjoyer

Testing different aproach to rendering
Usually i just painted over sketch now i actually tried using layer modes

>>6238932
Other than the back of her head being totally wack. Shading got soul.

Yet another lazy copy (from official art). I don't like coloring. Sorry WIP thread, I forgot.

do you need fundies to draw girls like this

>>6239386
Yes - learning basic anatomy helps with drawing any figures

Also the dude who drew this can't draw feet- he does them worse than I do

>>6239408
his girls are hot af tho

>>6233983
>>6233991
>>6233987

Nice lines and cross-hatching, do you got any materials/tips on how to cross-hatch decently?

>>6238932
Looking good bro.

>>6239196
Please help me reshade the belly to make it little rounded but not saggy. Also I failed the right side of the top because she should be more busty, fix it later. (Or better to draw new one?)

Wip .

So how do you guys choose the colors you wanna use for your illustration? Do you just "steal" them from other drawings like I do?

>>6239895

no rules just tools.

https://youtu.be/7FzO6I8OEtV8MHAo

>>6239903
kek just go to this dude's channel
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZYdK-dME5h4cr_2q88Jwow

>>6236398
>>6232833
This learn the forms. The force books do a good job of simplifying the anatomy into shapes that you cut into to get form. Also try making a grid in perspective with a perspective line then drawing the shapes of the figure and then cutting into the form making sure your slices are in correct perspective. Then on a layer above do your inking. Sorry if this was confusing but try watching the moderndayjames video on organic forms that will help explain what I mean when I say cut into the shapes to make form.

>>6239895
I use kuler and my eyeballs if I'm making a palette for something with stylized color. If I'm doing realistic lighting I'm just using my eyes to copy from a real model or reference.

(prebeg) wanted to give drawing another try but this took too long and ended up demoralizing

>>6238847
was krenz against this method

>this thread

>>6240067
Idk what Krenz says about it, I just know that it works very quickly.

If it's for a style issue, just monkey training on many different authors and gradually it will come natural to mix them together

I agree, however, that you first need a trained eye to UNDERSTAND what you are drawing and how to improve it, but for that you only need to browse through a booklet on Depth & Gestalt rules for five minutes and monkeying roughly an anatomical board

>>6240307
Krenz says 3-4 months of copying to train your eye, you say 5 minutes of reading and 100 copies of an anatomical board?

>>6240367
Five minutes is hyperbole but it is like learning a new alphabet before studying the grammar of another language, it takes you two days at most

Once you get the basic theoretical knowledge you go to practice to assimilate it in your head and in your hand, and that you develop by studying and refining what you draw as you do it and seeing how others do it

>>6238847
I mean, the thing with this method is that, unless you understand what you're doing, you have to do this for every single thing you draw forever.
Sure it works for drawing one thing, but when you get to the next thing, you have to start over from scratch.

some things are probably learnt a lot better this way tho, such as line control etc, that's not something you can learn by studying, you just have to do it a million times and you'll just get better by muscle memory.

>>6233576
Just wanna say thanks again. Somehow changing the pressure made things easier. This is still just copying from a manga page just by being able to copy it is helping with my enthusiasm with continuing with my drawing. Now id only I can follow through with an my trying to finish something.

>Trying to draw perspective
This is where the learning curve kicks in, I can feel it

>>6239702
who the artist for the source image?

>>6233051
draw the boxes then cut into them with the actual shape of the hips and pelvis

dont try to draw the hips+pelvis OVER the boxes or worse yet use the boxes as is

>>6240651
I found this. There is a boxes but no bloating issue. Maybe I should feel the form better to draw box with right size. I'll try to start from simplified chibis. (BTW girl's face so cute i can't stop to stare at it, despite I fucked up the hair).
>>6239985
Thanks. What is the name of that video? Search can't find "organic".

>>6239702
how do I do this?

>the fags and girls are mogging us this fucking hard
JUST TRY HARDER

>>6238847
blog?
your artstyle reminds me of douman seiman and hajime ueda, i like it

>>6240811
@Tarlo_V on blue bird

Good eye, Douman and Ueda are the two main authors I look at (lately also Take from Katanagatari)

>>6240797
Posters on /asg/ are too constrained and can't draw men or boys. It's sad. /cbsg/ can draw decent women in addition to their husbandos. Hell, there's even a decent /ss/ poster there.

>>6240918
just followed you
i really like those kind of artstyles, especially with douman incorporating some of the mike mignola's shading
but its a damn shame that its not the style im going to adapt

anyway godspeed, anon
looking forward to see your future artworks

>>6240939
Wholesome

>>6232776
rinotuna study

>>6240797
>>6240932
/asg/ discord has plenty of good artists last time I checked. They just don't post here because they're more interested in shilling their twitters for likes and follows.
/cbsg/ posters feel a stronger sense of communion between each other and so don't feel the need to be as crabby or defensive between one another, which is why their thread appears to be more flourishing.

hmmm

>>6232776
What do you do if you don't have a favorite artist? Not a shitpost.

>disgaea style
my absolute negro

I’ve finally been crossposted onto r/mendrawingwomen, is that a sign that i’ll make it?

>>6241258
I gave up on those discords because everyone ignores me. Being an artist is not fun. And shilling sucks. Get ignored for over a year. Start shilling shitty drawings out of spite.

>>6241455
art communities have a lot of shitty assholes ad mentally ill autists
one of the worst things you can do is try and be buddies with other artists and communities

>>6241469
So I shouldn't find artfriends? What if it's boring to draw alone (as boring to play alone)? I'm mentally damaged and want wrong things?

>>6241997
do wtv the fuck you want
if you said you wanted to jump off a 10 story building i would advise you not to but you can just ignore me and jump anyway

same shit here, go find your little artfriends, but good luck actually finding "friends" or even normal people

>>6241319
Not him, but you are supposed to overlap your study to see where you went wrong and then correct your mistakes

My first attempt to copy a girl from "how to draw chibi" manual in Krita. I know I shifted the head but I can't liquify it in place properly. Also I can't into weird 3-head proportion.

When doing different colored lines (for example, the hair in this drawing), do artists usually change the color as they ink, or do it in black and change it later?

>>6232776
Can I have some crit? I know I'm beg but is there anything especially bad

>>6242554
Most artists do the lines in all black first then change the color later by locking the transparency of the line art layer. Judging by where the bangs of the light haired girl meet the contour of her forehead, that's what this artist did. Artists who do their linework in a more painterly style might change colors as they draw.

how do you achieve an artwork like picrel?
is it a technique or just the brush? ishida's has been upping his art gains after finishing tokyo ghoul

>>6242777
her breasts look a little large for Ina, I'd try to do some more atmospheric lighting too.

>>6241371
Based anon I have his three art books I fucking love him

>>6241455
You are ignored because your art is bad and/or you have 0 social media influence that’s all. It’s a waste of time interacting with you when there’s nothing to be gained from you at all. Welcome to real world anon.

And? Why are you not copying? It's the opening statement to this thread and the OP pic backs it up even more.

>>6243584

>>6233202
Is there any guide that shows how to achieve this rendering of the skin? I really don't understand how to use brushes to achieve it

the close and fill tool is terribly pixelated for me, is there a way to apply anti aliasing for it?

>>6243747
figured it out but doesnt seem to work

i wonder if its cause i pirated the software

>>6243778
what resolution and canvas size you working with? if youre using a canvas 2k pixels and below then a small size chunk would look pixelated zoomed in like what youre showing seems like a zoomed-in part

>>6243809
it's not the resolution, left is painted by the close and fill tool, right is marked by the lasso tool and fill

>>6243814
i used krita for this
left is normal size and right is zoomed in
congrats on shitty tools

>>6243814
>>6243825
but for real, it looks like youre fucking zooming in, ofc shits pixelated

>>6243826
>it looks like youre fucking zooming in
yeah i probs didn't use the right vocabulary, i'm completely fine with the right shape on here >>6243814, but that can only achieved by the lasso tool and not close and fill

but thanks for your input anon

>>6243778
>using IM@S art as refs
based.

>>6243389
Yes. Even ITT you ignored if your skill isn't high enough.

>>6244015
sorry there are no updoots here to validate you.

Let's say I want to study a mangaka's style because they draw characters in a good way. But I want to draw illustrated characters, not manga. Do I pick another illustrator to study the rendering and only the rendering from? Or should I find another artist altogether?

>>6244277
the former. take what you like from other artists, then it's up to you to spin them into your own coherent style. what kind of rendering are you talking about?

Just finished this

>>6244575
thanks doc

whats the secret to rendering boobs

>>6244659
Her boob looks like it’s trying to run away

>>6244575
gracias doctor

>>6244659
Rework the boobs they don't look 3D enough

>>6244277
every manga has illustrations too though?

I realised too late that shapes are the key. Well, not too late actually.

>>6244845
dyel

>>6244845
>I realised too late that shapes are the key.
What do you mean? Are you used non-shapes-based construction before?

>>6244659
I did some overpainting. I like your colours though, they're pretty. I'd try to imagine the weight of the boob (heavier towards the bottom) which will help you draw the shape.
good luck!

>>6244949
ahahahahaha

>>6244949
thanks bro appreciate your input, you painted that really well

>>6244949
the boob on the left looks too big now

how many colors should I pick for rendering skin
do you use blend modes or manually select them
do you blend them linearly together or try to follow some kind of curve on the color selector

>>6244989
Nw
>>6244996
I’m sure original draw anon can work out the balance

>>6245000
how many colours do you see here?

I haven't had many commissioners but almost all of them were american engineers. After all "art is a luxury", right?

>>6246378
This. This is why I do it. I don't expect 5k/mo, but a grand or so and a part time job? That'd be real nice. At least where I live.

I'm also learning to hold a pencil properly (light lines, overhand grip, draw from the shoulder)
But is this kind of grip mostly incongruous with copying out anime characters?
I seem to need tight, small lines for accuracy and I can only do those drawing from the fingers/wrist with a normal tripod grip.

>>6247435
Pencil gripping like that is pretty much pointless outside of standing at an easel.

>>6247435
>light lines, overhand grip, draw from the shoulder
go watch mangakas work on youtube and then stop wasting your time on memes

>>6247435
getting comfortable with holding the pencil at any angle is helpful but you also need to adjust how your canvas is stationed
>>6247446
i still find use with overhand grip when drawing flat but i mostly see using overhand grip as a way to stop you from using your wrist when drawing

>>6247446

>Pencil gripping like that is pretty much pointless outside of standing at an easel.
This, I used to use the candle grip when working on easels with big canvases because you have to make large gestures for making guidelines, construction, shading and crosshatching work, etc. but sitting down at a table with an A4 paper there's no usage for it.

Here's a trick if you want to prevent drawing from the fingers/wrist less using the tripod grip, hold your tripod grip further up the pen and away from the tip.

oh no no no

>Krenz says 3-4 months of copying to train your eye
Copying WHAT?
And HOW?
He even makes the point of copying badly.

>>6247541
By copying other drawings....
By using his measurement guideline method for accuracy.....
Did you even watch the first 10min of the video?

>>6247618
at this point i dont even know why people put effort into helping others when most questions are stupid af

>>6247618
>By copying other drawings....
Which? Some drawings are much more complex than others, and some people want to be able to draw the whole package of an image, whereas others want to draw a cute girl in a white background.

>>6247642
>Which?
Whichever ones you want..........That's the point......

>>6247642
There's a collection of simple stuff he recommends under the accuracy section in the OP pastebin. IIRC for his accuracy training he only wants you to copy the lineart as closely as you can.

It says "go draw!" if you wondering

I need some help with pic related, I would like to know if there's a similar pose I could follow or someone could point out what could I do to fix it.

>>6247859
It lacks gesture. It's an extremely generic pose. You could find reference anywhere.

>>6247859
way too much construction thats doesnt add anything, adding lines that dont describe the form, like on the arms, and neck/traps what's the point? It's vague where it should be detailed and detailed where it should be vauge (you really dont need to define each individual ab muscle, or really any single muscle IMO the goal is to see many small shapes as few big shapes that have some form which this doesnt have like in the elbows for example. its just hanging on there, the knees, deltoid, cheeks, neck muscles, pussy (the vagina is always point down when standing) are all just stuck on incorrectly, and if its stylistic, still I would ask whats the point? why put them there?

Im struggling to understand what your goal is with this I hope you did this from imagination and not from a construction refrence that claims to to be learning material, because if its anatomy, its simplifying muscles that arent there, and the ones that are there are barely in the right place, if its to learn basic shapes that dont focus on learning the anatomy, but as a basic way to see shapes, it looks incredibly flat and seems to choose shapes at random its not even really a shape that fits a construction in some areas like the legs and knee caps, what is that diamond thing next to the deltoids?

Look up sycra on youtube he has a basic anatomy construction with clearly readable forms that are good for learning the most important muscles groups IMO

>>6247955
>Look up sycra

>>6246952
Straight up remove the left tit already holy shit

>>6246952
Cool animation but the /beg/ face ruins it.

>>6248000
why?

>>6247859
I don't even know how you got such a clean lineart while lacking structure and gesture. Not really complaining, it's just impressive.

Say this posted in another thread.
Another big collection of various asian art books.

>>6247435
seriously what? Who told you you need to hold a pencil like that, it's for specific drawing methods

>>6248011
Even if she was pressed right up to him with even a wide space between her tits it wouldn't stick out like that. Especially since she's twisted a little.

>>6248139
You may be right. but can't you use your imagination. it is a drawing after all. provided to you free of charge. with blood sweat and cum.

how do you do these gundam style pilot helmets?

>>6248234
That blood sweat and cum better be coming out of the same hole.

>>6248107
thanks

Learning digital by copying this artist I found on twitter. Idk what I'm doing yet but I think it looks ok

>>6248492
Bigger version of original

>>6248492
who is the artist

>>6248504
@se_5eeeee

>>6248492
You're not colordropping, right? Implying the study is about colors, that is. Otherwise, nice instincts anon.

>>6248513
Nope, I'm not. The study is about everything really. I drew a lot when I was younger and want to get back into art.

>>6248492
gotta do the background too, otherwise you won't be able to judge the values and colors properly

>>6248529
How's this? I also added some noise like in the original, at least I think that's what that is? I've seen some streams of artists adding it after they've finished a piece.

>>6248558
Actually, disregard this one. This is closer.

how to start on twitter? do you just go around retweeting a bunch of art?

>>6248563
Just post your own art faggot. If you’re good you’ll float to the top. Post one piece every day (this is key)z

>>6248568
who has time to do 1 piece every day, a decent one needs like 4 days at least unless your posting sketches like that ixy faggot

>>6248558
I used to add noise as well, but keep in mind it fucks the compression on some websites and the thumbnail ends up looking like shit.
>>6248563
I actually don't even remember lul. Just try to not get shadowbanned until your followers retweets can carry you. Also use the correct tags that give you the most impressions blablabla. Check out this shit https://hashtagify.me/
And yes, >>6248581, you don't need 1 piece a day, but be somewhat constant and more importantly, consistent.

>>6248512
thanks

>>6241262
Listen up, you little shit.

Choose an artist with your favorite anatomy.
Chooe another artist with your favorite colors.
Chooes another artist with your favorite composition.
Choose another artist with your favorite linework.
Choose another artist with your favorite shading.

Collect all of their work, study your favorite aspect of each artist.
Bam, you've just created your own art style.

>>6236441
one week later of doing some of these and i can now do it a bit faster and make it look at bit better
going through all of these is going to take forever tho not like i got anything better to do

>>6238104
no such thing as cheating, the tool is there for a reason. use it.

>>6248878
t. cheater

zoomers would retweet the shittest art ever just because it's their favorite character, skills bear no relevance to reach what soever as long as you draw a popular character you're guaranteed to x10 your exposure

>>6248563
Steal larger artists account. Then retweet yourself.
Post high quality images of your girlfriend. Then casually introduce your art.

>>6248601
>Just try to not get shadowbanned until your followers retweets can carry you.
I have a victim complex and this shit scares me. I don't want to arbitrarily get shadowbanned because I used the wrong tag or clicked the wrong profile.

I'm the guy in the previous thread complaining about anime foreheads. I decided to do a short study by drawing only anime girl heads.
The traced pic is on the left and my copy is on the right (except for the first 3). I only allowed myself 5 minutes so some drawings end abruptly. At some point I stopped trying to draw the hair and focused only on the head shape because I kept going over my assigned 5 minutes.

I could definitely feel the /weg/shit style leaving my body after the first 10 drawings and getting used to drawing alien foreheads, however I still struggle with proper cheek shape, and anime hair often ends up obscuring the skull shape for me. Another major problem I noticed is drawing the head at an angle and aligning the face elements accordingly, but that's more of a lack of general drawing skills than specific anime one.

>>6248996
At the end I decided to see if I learned anything after the study and tried to draw a head at several angles entirely from my imagination with no references. Turns out I didn't actually learn anything other than just how to copy anime heads, visualizing and rotating them in 3D is something else entirely. I should have probably went for a box approach instead of sphere approach like this guy does>>6237236, I think I'll try that next time.
Another bad habit I noticed is that when drawing the head at angles I'm not familiar with, I end up drawing everything smaller than it actually is (eyes, ears, etc.) I don't push the lines and the size as much as I should. I guess this comes from lack of confidence and fear of fucking the drawing up, so I instinctively draw smaller and just from my wrist to have more control.

It was a good exercise, but I feel like drawing only 1 hour per day is killing my art gains. It's like my brain only enters "drawing mode" and starts seeing the shapes and copying them properly after 1 hour of drawing, and that's exactly when I have to stop. I guess this is what "warming up" is like for artists. Maybe this period will shorten to 10 minutes instead of 1 hour with enough practice, but if not then I might have to give up some 1-2 hours of sleep so I can draw some more.
Sorry for the walls of text and blogposting, just did this for self-documenting purposes. Next up I'll try to do some hands and feet.

>>6233576
nta but thanks for the pen

Guys, I'm really scared of my art looking like the faux-anime you see nowadays (stuff like Castlevania and even Avatar, the stuff that Whyt Manga draws even though he's very talented). Nothing against those styles, but I'd rather look closer to the authentic stuff. At the moment I'm just working on construcution and fundamentals so since I'm still early on in my journey does anyone know what sets the traditional manga/anime drawings and art from the clearly westernized ones? What are the pitfalls and habits I should avoid?

>>6248568
>>6248601
posted 3 pieces 4 hours ago and only got 1 retweet so far, i had got to be doing something wrong i'm bad but i have seen people with worse art having way more

>>6249193
maybe showing your work would be a good start so we can assess it

>>6244949
what became of it in the end, my fundies aren't as strong as yours so everything looks muddier but hope i'm getting there

>>6249234
thats not how a vagina works buddy

>>6249301
jesus, i thought it was just a long strip of pubes in the thumbnail

>>6249234
That vag anatomys little bit wonky bruh

>>6249216
I get retweets and likes. No problem.
But I'm the outlier because I'm followed by discord artist with shitty artstyles. So it's good artwork being shared with the wrong target audience.

top kek

>>6249301

>>6249346
He's never seen a naked girl before, be nice

>>6249444
sjws claimed another one, new tumblr?

>>6248996
>>6249001
Thank you for sharing. Keep it up.

>>6247736
the perspective is kind of whack, but I still think it looks great

>>6248996
>>6249001
you need to learn your fundies first, i know this gets told so many times that it kinda lost its meaning, but 99.999999999999 of begs don't get this, to be able to draw from imagination you need to be able to understand objets in a 3D plane, this is really easy to understand when you draw a box, because everyone knows how to draw one and you can tell right away if something is off, you need to know every aspect of the head so it becomes that easy too, but you begs skip this and that's why you end up with those shitty drawings.

>>6250358
anon do you even finish anything? don't end up like 0033

>>6250370
>0033
isn't he an actual animator, he isn't a illustrator, anyway, im still in the learning process so i dont have anything finished that arent doodles.
can i finish something ofc, but i choose not to because i won't be pleased since im a uber beg for painting, coomposition, bg and all that stuff, once i finish learning my fundies sure.

the pose feels off, what's exactly wrong with this?

>>6250565
Chest maybe? The breasts are too close to one another imo.

Tried drawing some things other than a character standing stiff as a board. Feel like I keep fucking up the legs.
How do I make better dynamic poses?

>>6250625
yeah my anatomy is wonky but the pose feels weird to me. Is it the torso rotation?

>>6248936
Literally just think like a normie. Like you're a mom using the internet or something and you'll be fine

>>6250565
needs more roomis....ugh....

torso is too large or the tits are way too up or the perspective is way too fucked( too from below) this makes the head look disconected, lenght of the shoulder looks too broad or maive is just the sleeve, arms looks connected so probably the later, her leg is in different perspective related to her knee, doggy face and the back of the head looks smaller.

>>6250820
NTA but sick redline dude. He better thank you

>>6250820

>>6250836
thanks, i dont care if i get thanked or whatever, 99.99999% of the time i just to these to practice, also i just realised i made the tits too close eachother

>>6250853
*i just do these to practice*

>>6250820
>>6250853
who teaches body construction like this?

>>6250820
Thanks man, I just can't into construction because my small brain can't cope with such thing

>>6250868
I'm curious as well, I really like the way you draw

>>6250820
>>6250853
nice tits

>>6249234
It's okay, I've never seen a vagina either, that's why I saved this for such an occasion.

art is such a pointless pursuit

art is cool

art is enriching my life

>>6251882
Yeah I'm quitting it. You will never be as good as those on the top, what's the point?

>>6232776
How do you pick an artist?
I'd like to draw like https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/27517
but it feels impossible. How do you pick one?

>>6251998
background is a whole different ball game, this thread is mainly for characters

>>6232776
Does anyone have a good resource for getting better at drawing landscapes or works that have very well drawn natural environments? I've made the mistake of choosing a nature setting for the manga I'm writing.

>>6251771
thanks anon is this better

>>6250853
cool to see that you're still browsing this place anon
