Well done everyone.
Now, let's see some original work and see if you've actually learned anything or progressed at all

I'm still doing heads. I'm not sure how to shade them like >>6897076

Good job for hiding it

Hello anons, any tips to improve the precision of my studies? I feel that my drawings are not 1:1 copies but rather a drawing that is reminiscent of the original.

>>6898401
Isn't that better?

so you telling me if i trace i can learn to draw

>didn't make the op
it's over...

>>6898532
Tracing blindly without knowing exactly what you will learn from it is completely pointless. Drawing the same things over and over again without knowing why you're doing so is also pointless.

>>6898532
This thread is not about tracing anon

Studies I've done in an attempt to have a solid consistency.

>>6899165
And a floating anime head from imagination.

>>6899167
go to /co/.

>>6899175
That means my drawing is not anime-ish enough? I guess I'll have to keep practising, thank you.

>>6899274
It's fine that guy is just being a dick, I've seen similar stuff from korean webtoons

>>6899167
Y-you drew a 3/4 anime head?!?! FROM IMAGINATION?!?!?
I kneel......

>>6899274
it looks appropriate for this thread, i think the other guy is just a retard

>>6896959
A few Ashita no Nadja studies to start my morning

Trying some Sui Ishida studies.

ok, this is the pinnacle of my art career

ugh.... sorry but not sorry.

I don't know where I want to take myself. Everything feels impossible.

Aesthetic

I'm afraid that if I practice with art I like, I'll end up being put off the art I like.

That being said, I think this is stalling for time and will resume drawing after posting this

best site to scour to find artists to study?

>>6900676
pixiv or artstation

>>6900676
The boorus are good (porn or not) and there's sources so you can find the artist's pixiv/twitter. Pixiv is good too but I don't much like sifting through to find someone decent. Lastly, artists follow and like other artists that are similar so that's also a way I discover someone new.

first time posting here, just wanna work on observation, linework and mileage

>>6899286
really nice, haven't done any scene studies like this myself,

Month 2 Day 12 of learning
Trying to make your own stuff is hard, but I think i'm getting a tiny bit better at it, this is my...4th? attempt at an original piece

I see why people do thumbnails for poses and composition, once I got like 75% through this drawing I realized it looked very stiff and would be difficult to salvage, so I just stopped early

>>6901314
You're making pretty good progress compared to some of the people i've seen here so good on you for being consistent trying hard stuff. Hands would be good to focus on sooner than later since they really make or break a piece.

>>6901327
thanks anon, yeah I was doing a bunch of copies but now i'm trying to get into like 50/50 of studies/sketches and original works, because I do want to eventually start making my own things

do you have any resources as far as getting emotion into your drawings? someone in a discord server i'm in pointed out that >>6901314
this basically has no emotion/gesture so it feels boring

>>6901329
>any resources as far as getting emotion into your drawings?
You have a choice between practicing your expressions or trying to change the framing of your subject. The latter requires some higher perspective knowledge, the former you can achieve pretty simply by studying settei/expression sheets or just artists that do them well. Character is everything: pose, mannerisims (how they stand, sit or even hold something) so injecting that into your practice will give you livelier drawings.

>>6896959
MAN look at all this trash. Say what they will, you boys sure are dedicated.

>>6901347
both sound hard but I'll try to slowly implement them and see how it improves my sketches, thanks for the advice

>>6901371
Like everything, it's tough to master right away but getting some experience in now and trying it here and there will always be a benefit down the line. Try to do a bit at a time but even just passively noting them for use later, like the one you studied here >>6901329. There's some great insight into the framing and how the face is drawn.
You have the right attitude about it though! Good luck, anon.

>>6901347
can you link some of these expressions? Would love to study them

>>6896959
What is that sexy oppai loli from?

>>6896959

>>6901417
If you're talking about what I drew those were from imagination. By expression sheets, take your pick of ones from here https://setteidreams.net/settei/ from your favorite show or just in general.

>>6901661
Very cute

>>6901863
Thank you

>>6901883
nah thank you

So now that you guys have studied from krenz for god knows how long, and did the accuracy meme exercise, what do you have to show from it?
you DO have something to show from it, right anon?

>>6901650
not him but thanks this is super helpful!

>>6901329
>Month 2
I am ngmi, it took me 2 years to get to somewhere around this level.

>>6902766
You mean copying something?

I saw a pic of cement with pipes and drew this at work

>>6903567
ref pic
i liked how the pipes blend with the cement and tried to make something similar with the character's coat having square shapes and the legs

>>6903567
She's cute. Would pull for her banner in Arknights.

>>6901650
thanks anon that will help a lot!

i hate it but it's the best one so far

>>6902766
Don't worry. There will be things you learn much quicker than anon.

>>6899504
Well, eyes are quite mesmerizing to look at, so yeah.
>>6899590
Oh thanks for the critique. I can certainly see the mistakes I made, very kind of you to show it to me, I will try to fix it.
>>6899278
Yes and I hope to draw many more.
>>6899277
>>6899279
I see. Trying to draw anime is a real challenge for me so I will try to do better next time.Thank you.

yippieeeee

Do you guys experiment with shaders or filter overlays in your drawings?

Im tired of doing commissions...

>>6905395
I wish I was good enough to do commissions. I can only copy pictures…

>>6898532

>still no replies yet
you niggers are absolutely pathetic

>>6904098
what's the process for drawing eyes? Do you have to zoom into to draw it more detailed or as is?

>>6905974
They don't.

>>6905974
>>6902409
It's a fucking meme and I don't recommend it to anyone anymore. I did it as an absolute beg, and while I could copy a cute anime girl almost 1:1 perfectly, I didn't learn shit about it and just started with vilppu or brent eviston which taught me way more than krenz. I think I am just not build like his target audience who can autisticaly copy hundreds of pictures perfectly, I did like maybe 4 or 5 copies and I was done kek. It is boring and soul devouring. Just do it the traditional way.

>>6897076
Talented people should fuck off to twitter. This place is for ngmi only.

>>6906225
His method is great for more dynamic poses with foreshortening. And after that I draw it again with construction. Then again with detail.

I wouldn’t have to use it for poses like that.

>>6906225
Imo copying has its place but is only useful to learn stylisation after you have a stable grounding in fundies.

>>6906225
>>6906353
>>6906535
its a complete fucking meme and should be removed from this general, it has value in improving observation, but by using the guide lines it removes even that as you are then just literally copying line for line in a box like the low iq monkey you are

>>6906550
is that you guidelines schizo?

What do you draw when you don’t have any ideas or don’t really feel like drawing. I actually have a lot of ideas but I feel like saving them for when I get better

>>6906620
just draw your ideas then redraw them later when you’re better? it’s not like you have to post them. if your initial drawing comes out ugly who cares, nobody else will see them but you.

how do i draw anime-esque backgrounds

>>6906552
it is me, saving 1 crabbed anon at a time

>>6906550
>lines
But how do you then learn to render like pros

>>6906680
HARD
ROUND
BRUSH

>>6906620
this is a very bad mindset, because just as drawing, ideation is also a skill and it will only improve when you practice it
a lot of the ideas you think are good now is probably very underwhelming when you actually see them on the canvas, so there's no reason to "save ideas" when you should finalize them out as many and as quickly as possible to train your imagination

>>6906704
What is that in CSP? I don't have a hard round brush.

did the the settei of the other boku no hero seasons ever get released? i can only find season 1 and 2

Guys just a heads up there might be some trolls coming here to post western cartoons because they're mad about their western comics not being allowed in manga threads.

tbf krenz would be better as a warmup, for everything else just pick vilppu,hampton or whatever fundies book/course the sticky recommends
but yes, this shit is a trap and everyone here fell for it

>try to draw asuka
>get shinji

hate it but i'm improving slowly

>>6901314
Month 2 Day 16, started a new original piece over the past few days, wanted to attempt a full one

I relied on a lot of advice and critique from friends so it feels like I cheated, but I think i'm starting to enjoy the process of creating original pieces a lot more

gonna attempt coloring and shading it tomorrow

>>6906919
I do copies and studies, but I wont ever fall for the shit put your character in a box and copy line for line autism. Literally the most obvious beg trap ive seen posted on this whole site, not just ic

>>6907246
looks nice, nothing for you to hate, givr her some base colors at least tho

>>6907955
looks nice, but stop counting days v cringe. Like a nofap addict who gets excited about day 8

>>6900980
Iol cute Velvet. Reminds me of old newgrounds animations. Makes me wanna draw tales characters.

I realise after grinding and studying all this time there isn't anything I actually want to draw. Was I ngmi all this time and just LARPing as an artist?

>>6908214
I've been going through this feeling as well. You probably do have something you want to draw, but it are subconscious prioritizing improving your art quality to remember. Otherwise you wouldn't have began to learn in the first place. Once you improve more you'll the ideas you want to draw will slowly come out.

>>6908049
>>6908112
SOVL

>>6908222
I've been thinking about this and I think the biggest mental blocker is being able to find good reference. The only refs on the internet that are plenty and easy to find is porn. Is it actually viable for artists to start off drawing coom and then transitioning into other stuff? I think I have seen the pattern of a lot of JP artists starting off drawing hentai and then moving to legitimate IPs later on.

>>6908233
imo. if all you do is copy porn then all you'll going to draw is porn. it's good for a quick reference or such, but don't make it a habit. If you want to do more, you probably should be more focused on material more related to what you eventually want to do.

>>6908273
How do artists find non porn references though? I think the whole finding references part is becoming the hardest part of drawing for me now.

>>6908291
by not copying the reference but actually using it as a reference. if you want to draw mechs, you should not be looking up pictures of mechs, you should refer to people and IRL heavy machinery and such. you need good fundies to do that, obviously

>>6908017
well, i was referring to the squiggly lines exercises, this box and line shit can be a helluva trap
the beg sticky recommends a similar technique, but it feels less autistic than krenz
just regular observation stuff i guess

>>6909757
I get to the point where i put linework on paper and after fucking up my roughs for a good hour i get to doing flats and become unsatisfied with it.
I'm currently trying to edge further into rendering of some kind but i feel like a retard and everything i do is wrong.
Peak suffering trying to not make my colors look smudged or muddy.

Bocchi.

Month 2 Day 18 of learning, finally completed my first full creation from imagination/references, took 5 days but it was a lot of fun
Did Roxy from Mushoku Tensei

Obviously there's a bunch of room for improvement but I think what I did produce was OK!

Made this
I cant render
Its too messy and it smudges
I had to blue to make it less messy

Skin is brutally difficult to render for me, even if I'm aware of some of the anatomy it is just not clicking for me. What the fuck am I supposed to do here...

>>6911076
Unironically you have to feel the form

Can I get some crit?

>>6911201
shadows are very inconsistent and highlights are all over the place
also weird composition

>>6911216
I've been accused of using 3d models a lot previously because of my shadows being too robotic/stiff so I tried to mix it up a bit
is there a particular shadow in the rosa pic that is particular bad for you? pic related is a random previous post that people said was from tracing 3d models due to the lighting

>>6911235
>is there a particular shadow in the rosa pic that is particular bad for you
the shadows in the hair lock nearest to the viewer
I can see 5 value steps that don't really make sense there
I recommend you don't use hard edges for details in shadows like ambient occlusion, it will compete for the viewer's attention with the terminator and highlight
pic relate is just a very quick edit I made. hopefully it can get my point across, I also moved her to the center since putting her face too close the the edge will create unnecessary tension

>>6908049
>>6908112
>>6909068
>>6910782
>>6911343
utter shit, don't bother post again

>>6911307
thanks, I remembered that I should use harder edges for cast shadows but somehow forgot to use soft for form shadows (am retarded)
how did you decide how to change the highlights? they look way better but not sure what's the pattern
for composition I tried to do a rule of thirds type thing but I do agree it creates too much tension
I probably should have thumbnailed a bit more
thanks anon

>>6911406
>I tried to do a rule of thirds type thing but I do agree it creates too much tension
Because she's closer to one edge of the page by a lot more than she is to the other
She needs to be moved entirely left until she's in the center, which will also have her eye in the right Ro3 spot to make the image feel better

>>6910592
Not perfect 1:1, but i think it looks good enough

>>6911657
>good enough
good job, but good enough isn't going to get you better. good enough is not good enough. you're favorite artist didn't settle for good enough. good enough means you're settling for failure. and you're not a failure, anon. next time, don't settle for mediocrity. go back and try to improve it as much as you can. improve it until there's nothing left for you to call good enough. you have potential to be greater, anon. the next time you think it's good enough, keep going until you think it's amazing.

keep trying, bro. i'll be rooting for you.

now we draw RICCA

>>6911657
Take this with a grain of salt from a fellow /beg/
first youre doing pizza faces, notice how the jaw line for Bocchi on the left is a bit more linear, then near the small cheek it turns up and then bends slightly where the ear starts
the eyes obviously are a problem, you did both eyes differently, why? should have stuck with two ovals like on the left
for the shoulder length, notice how Bocchi's on the left is pretty much one to one with how her body would have been naked, the shoulder pauldron lines coming from the point of her shoulder, you made the shoulder area too large in comparison, I suggest using small circles if youre trying to keep her small thin arms
for the legs notice how the inner thigh line is paralel, its like a straight line, while the one from outside head inside

What's up with the doodlefag, I've seen him in other threads and boards too

>>6911406
I placed the highlights on the principal corner of forms (Steve Huston teaches this in his book), I also varying the their shapes between big and small for visual interest

Recently I came across a post on a different site (yeah, you already know which one) from a 17 year old who helped animate the Jujitsu Kaisen anime, another show and the RWBY movie. Obviously it's pretty fucking nuts but he had the facts and production material to prove it. That's all besides the main point; he mentioned he got these jobs through friends on Discord and Discord communities but never specified where exactly nor their names. I was wondering if such communities existed and where would be the best place to find them? I'm hoping whatever answers we can come up with can be beneficial to anyone looking to break into the industry as I am too.
inb4 "discord full of furries, groomers and hug boxes" man I don't even care anymore, I just need to move forward any means necessary.

>>6913784

hi just i just started drawing and im going following this guide https://discover.hubpages.com/art/how-to-draw-learn ,thing is i want to draw anime style soo should i keep following this guide? or should i follow an anime focused one?

>>6914001
pyw

>>6912866
You made her aushwitz mode anon, look at her thighs especially as that is most of the appeal of the pic

>>6914001
pyw first

>>6913829
can you draw one from a different angle

>>6914015
>>6914011

>>6912866
compare the side profile with regards to the mouth /nose


good job keep it up much love to you.

How do I draw and render underwear? I can't find much on the subject.

>>6914001
you should learn to draw anime first and foremost, but ALSO spend some time to learn observation drawing on the side

>>6914023
You shouldn't discount fundamentals they are core to raising the quality of your anime drawings. But observation is probably the most important fundamental, you won't waste any time practicing observation.

A Witch from mercury... heh

>>6898532
Draw the wojak in pic related and come back and post it here.

>>6912047
Your rendering might look shit but your biggest problem are values. Learn values first, friend.

>>6914023
is not a bad guide, and it should be enough for good fundation when it comes to anime drawings, how ever when you are done with it the next step is developing your style which is fairly easy but only once you get your basics down which that guide is good enough for it but for the love of god stay away from these YT channels they are shit.

>tfw too retarded to even do accuracy studies right

>>6914837
welcome to /asg/

>>6906225
>while I could copy a cute anime girl almost 1:1 perfectly, I didn't learn shit about it and just started with vilppu or brent eviston which taught me way more than krenz
Accuracy exercises are just that-training your observation. I wouldn't regret learning it, I'm sure your improved observation has helped you study Vilppu more efficiently. Even Eviston has a similar exercise in week 1 of his basics course

>>6912554
Looks great

>>6901507
imagine the smell

>>6911112
I tried, I feel exhausted.

how the fuck do proportions work? i follow loomis and lower the brow line because anime has eyes at about the halfway point. main problem is probably me making the head longer as a result, so everything ends up shit. what i guess i’m really asking is the right way to adjust the initial circle. is that explained somewhere in the head and hands book?

>>6915596
this looks good, you should practice linework and study how hair flows but you are getting there

>>6915596
SUCCESS!!!
I CAN FEEL IT TOO!

>>6916649
>how the fuck do proportions work?

Can't see the thumbnail so apologies if this isn't anime

>>6916649

>>6916960
>>6916961
Is there a japanese loomis or vilppu, need course that specifically focuses on anime art instead of drawing real humans

>>6917331
I have this one for heads/faces
This unironically leveled me up a lot (still /beg/ af) now that I know the general philosophy behind the head shape

>>6917355
the face shape* not the head shape

>>6917355
in the end its all about abstraction, understanding this separate high iq from low iq artists

>>6910769
good stuff, anon. that's a difficult pose to pull off, as many sitting poses are
also, avoid shrinking the far eye like that. I get it that you're trying to show perspective and vanishing points, but the horizontal distance between the eyes is too small for that kind of distortion to show up. it looks good in those close up face shots with fisheye distortion because the face becomes 80% of the space of the composition so the distance between eyes becomes significant enough
I think naoki saito had a video on that

I pretty much solved anime face proportions but I won't post my findings because its funnier to watch people struggle. Suck'm balls.

>>6917664
ok, but if you don't something bad will happen to you very soon.

Hahaha! I just cursed you. To break the curse you must post your secrets.

>>6906225
This is strange to read because if you follow a lot of mangaka or japanese artists in general a bunch will say they got started by copying manga (of course a lot of them also took something art-related in college but complete autodidacts aren't rare)

Like yeah maybe it's not the most efficient method if you aren't "autistically" doing it from age 15 onwards but you will have to put in the hours somewhere. Doing any exercise only 4 to 5 times will not teach you much of anything I don't think

Yeah but if anon feels like it is soul sucking then surely there are methods better suited to him where he can put in those hours. Art should be fun in the end.

Should I just go at it/freehand when I get an idea or do I use circles and stuff? I dont really have the circle and head down and I have never tried to do bodies since I dont know the proper procedure. Does anyone have a good resource for this btw?

>souless ai bait

Why tho, if you're gonna use ai at least draw your copy of it

rkgk

>>6922735
Why do you say it's a bait?

>>6922797
I know I'm being played right now but sure I'll bite in good faith

Because when you post images that look like artwork in an anime study general with no text or context quote it implies you drew the image and that you're trying to trick begs into commenting on it, so what exactly are you doing that for? Or am I incorrect and you were posting just to call it souless? if so then my bad? but really without any context it's hard to say if I'm giving you too much charitability.

>>6922804
I just posted a picture of an example of something soulless, I mean, relax man.

>>6922804
>>6922735
Don't reply to it, retard. Remember that passing others artwork's as your own is a bannable offense.

>>6922822
nta but to be fair your post made absolutely no sense, but judging by that shit reaction image you're probably just a tourist.

These generated girls have a strange metaphysical appeal to me. They are so derpy and flawed. I imagine they are really insecure about their status as anime girls. Something about their eyes and melty bodies makes them really adorable and sympathetic in a same way a character with a mental disability is. "It's okay that I'm not a real drawing... isn't it, Anon?" "I'm sorry that I was made with stolen training data. I understand if you want to me to go away forever." "I'm really happy that you are spending time looking at me, Anon. It really means a lot!"

Help, how do I give her actual attractive sexo eyes?

>>6923907
go look at some eyes you think are sexy and then study them

>>6923907
Comes down to personal prefference, usually lower bigger lids, longer eyelashes, eyes looking halfway up works, think nala from the lion king lmao, but up to you

I miss how anime girls looked in the 90s so that's how I try to model mine

I don't have an infograph for the body just the head/face is there one anywhere?

Going for a 90's style here. I could also look for more of an 80's shojo style out there too since current style doesn't look like shojo at all.

>>6925454
Hot

Like the variety on the otakus too

So, total theoretical here, let's say you have a finished 20-40 page manga. What do you do with it? "Post it online" where? "Send it to a publisher" which ones and how? "Print it and sell at a convention" is there a guide on the printing process?

>>6925729
*hypothetical
Fuck I'm retarded

sloppy

Anyone got a good guide or other resource for expressions? Obviously need to just do my own studies but some tips to start off would be nice.
I feel like when I go for highly expressive faces they end up looking kinda retarded.

any tutorials on how to paint and shade skin the way japanese artists do?

is kazuma kaneko anime?

>>6926733

>>6926678
he's japanese isn't he

no that's a person

The more I browse through shit that does well on twitter, the more I realize that learning blender is a necessity
Can't go a second without a pic obviously being filled with 3D models. Not just humans, but almost everything in the pic

is the head allowed to turn this way? did i even draw the head right?

lads I'm looking for skillful cel shaders to study from I want to feel the form through shapes, any recommendations?

>>6928112

also this video is interesting and i think you should watch it.

Thanks anon high iq move

hi guys, im back. i was doing my drawings this morning and it got me wondering. when do i start to practice coloring? im not in a rush or anything but is it somehting i should be learning together with the gestures and observation?or do i postpone it for when im confident in my lines?

tried a low angle again

>>6926753

>>6928768
i've also seen it shaded like this sometimes. which is aesthetically pleasing with certain styles

>>6928768
>>6928902
what i mean

>>6928902
try to not use colors too dak/ saturated in comparsion with the base color, the hair shadows make the base color looks almost as it's shining becase the shading is too dark or saturated, the skin shading also needs different tones depending on the areayou are using the same shading in tne neck and ears but the ears are more exposed to the ambient lightning so they shouldnt be the same color, the horns too have a dark shading it shouldnt be that dark since they are literally exposed to the ambient light

>>6929004
Not bad but I like darker colors and prefer the way I did it. des

>>6929016
it is a problem tho, you might not realize it now because its just a floating head and theres only like 3 different things being colored, which it might make these errors dont stand out that much but once you start doing complete body drawings or add more stuff being colored it's gonna make everyhing look worse, the color palette it's not the poblem btw, it's the wrong/mistmatching tones on certain areas.

>>6929060
>it is a problem tho
It looks fine

>>6929070
>it looks fine
>subjetive=/=objetive

no one will force you to do things in a certain way so its up to you if you take the tip or not, just like beginners who think that their art isn't that bad and the next day they want die of cringe, if it looks fine to you that's ... fine, if you want to discuss/explain on how it looks fine id like to hear it.

>>6929016
He's saying your light source is inconsistent, not that your drawing is bad. The horns hair, and face all have different light sources

>>6929086
No one is wrong. We're both right.
>>6929095
>The horns hair, and face all have different light sources
It was intentional

>>6929111
>it's bad on purpose
is this the latest begtard cope?

>>6929118
Pyw

>>6929118
>>it's bad on purpose
lol i was trying to avoid to say that, because is easily memable, but there's a big difference between people who purposely forego correctness in favor of stylization or personal likings, and then theres the people that draw bad but called muh style without knowing why is it bad in the first place, which is usally called '' drawing bad in purpose''. Hopefully OR isn't the later.

>>6925454
Main thing that stuck out to me is the lack of softness in her hair, don't be afraid to get a little curly with it since shojo art tends to have more "fluff'. Also the eyes tend to be really shiny and big but they don't *have* to be big, just shiny. Shojo art is very cute but do not be fooled, the linework is very very delicate.

>pic related
quick mock-up and some examples

>>6929135
They addressed your criticism and decided to go with what they prefer. Just because you critique something doesn't mean they're obligated to change it. Don't be insecure about it bro.

This was really good watch got me thinking in gradients lengths and light source choices.

>>6930294
not my cup of tea but I will watch it and see, <blue archive> is this a manga, illustrated series or anime? basic search got me uncertain results.

>>6930410
No unfortunately its a gacha game. I don't play it but I think the art is well done.

>>6930426
ah ok thats makes sense, will search for art alone then thanks
