I cannot draw women

beginner artist here, i'd like to draw anime and while ive drawn off and on as a hobby ive ultimately not made a lot of progress. I have a lot more free time now so I'd like to start from scratch. Are there any classes I could take to help me reach my goal. Uploaded pic is doodle I made recently. I dont hate it, but my consistency is trash, and I was only confident enough to draw a floating head... which took me hours to draw.

Finally finished up my 2nd Month of learning to draw

Things are going well I think, i'm trying to focus more on original creations rather than constantly copying or doing studies

There are some jumps because I didn't save every practice I did because they were just fundamental stuff, but there were like 3 or 4 days where I didn't draw out of frustration towards myself

Anyways, hope to see you guys for Month 3

Why are anime heads so hard to draw for me? Whenever I draw one I always feel like it's too wide or fat or too long

>>6931806
same

It took me 4 day to finish level 1, I think I got most of the homework 70-80% right, so it's passable. I had fun, but I want to draw something else instead of doing Krenz's homework all the time.
I don't know whether my learning speed is too fast or slow, but im trying to build the habit and discipline here. Question is: What next? Let say i finish 10 level of Krenz accuracy, should i start with his perspective course? Or Flow?

>>6932317
Where do you get these assignments from? I know who makes them, but where is it from?

>>6931283
>>6932317
do more original pieces

>>6932536
yep that's my goal for this month :)

Do you really have to learn Loomis if you want to draw anime? I don't really see the benefit from going through that stuff

>>6932648
Define loomis. You mean his books? You don't really need to read anything at all, really, as long as you're smart enough.

>>6932648
not really
you just need a sense for forms, realistic understanding of heads and anatomy does help, but not a prerequisites

>>6932330
It's right under the sticky, but i recomend you to take Krenz class first.

Bocchi is not a chestlet.

Study from Undead Unluck.

I'm going to try to do more studies like this where I really copy all the details and shading from a frame of animation. I feel like I hit a wall in my drawing skills a while ago partly because I never went this far with my anime studies...

Thoughts on Hikaru Hayashi?

>>6930369
Are their video courses that goes over how to copy while being mindful of what you're copying? I can copy art pretty easily by mimicking the same line stroke angles and length, and noticing the relationship and differences between different lines. However I'm not sure how this helps me in the long run other than being able to copy what i see, which isnt the end goal if i want to draw my own work from imagination.

TLDR; I'd like some really good video courses or guides that cover how to copy and explains how it can help me long term. sorry for wall of text.

how can I make him look more edgy?

>>6934320

Drew this without worrying much about 1:1 accuracy.

>>6934320
Use more angles.

I feel like I've been staring at it too long even though I'm still in the rough stage, can I get some feedback? something feels off but can't tell what
red was the "gesture"

>>6934715
Did you make that reference yourself? Only the bottom right one is at a similar height to what you're trying to draw.

>>6934723
nah, found it somewhere online but couldn't find a better camera angle from front and above

>>6932648
I have never talked to an artist that has actually read through Loomis. If they used his head form technique they get it from reference images from Pinterest.
One issue with /ic/ is that the materials recommended are very outdated. Obviously fundies matter most but there are different ways to learn them.

>>6934774
and being a copycat isn't one of them

Why do I feel more comfortable drawing with the pencil brush than the pen brush on CSP?

>>6934715
I can't tell what's wrong exactly but it may just look awkward because your reference is off-balance (one frame in the middle of a dynamic movement, i.e. missing momentum). Can you find a way to convey that better, or use a different angle that doesn't hide the load-bearing leg?

Pls hilfe

really nice, like your hatching

>>6934311
whyd you omit the hands if you're confident in copying?

>>6935531
>>6935534
hair / face is disproportionately simple compared to the complex design clothes, so it looks weird

>>6935468
very broken

>>6934715
make it in a 3d program to see whats off if you're just studying

>>6936211
lazy. srry.

I don't see a lot of people mention Korean art instruction books. Those guys are at a different level when it comes to explain why and how they do things, it’s the art equivalent of an Indian explaining math or computer science on YouTube.

I’ve drawn a bit more from imagination after going through some Korean books and I can already see an improvement (pic rel). I recommend “Korean kind drawing” as a start.

>>6936756
>it’s the art equivalent of an Indian explaining math or computer science on YouTube.
accurate as fuck

How is this clean effect with the brush separations achieved? When I try to do this it gets blurred and smudges.

>>6937290
Also I meant to add that there is a gradation effect on the top circle with no blurring at all, how is this achieved?

>>6937291
paint with hard round, erase with soft round

>>6937300
What is this in clip studio paint? Something like Milli pen and (???)

>>6937323
yes something like mili pen will do, just turn off brush size pressure and you will have a basic hrb

or you can find one in almost every brush pack online

How do you go about trying to draw hair? Where to even start? I've seen guides saying to break the hair down into parts etc. but I am having trouble even beginning the silhouette.

Is there a definitive guide for anatomy for drawing anime? Whenever I want to do a pose that isn’t just a character standing I always have trouble to the point of giving up so I feel like itll really help me with that

>>6937608
It's literally just normal figure drawing from the neck down. Just inject everything vilppu has recorded into your brain.

Any good resources on rendering? winging it right now but want some actual intentional learning.

>>6931283
Good shit dude, have you been mostly just doing copies, or studied any books?

>>6937964
bro..

>>6938013
A little better, Anon?

What’s the proper way to plan out bodies. I’m a little confident with how I do faces already but I don’t know how to draw the body or arms.

>>6938118

>>6938119
based

>>6938118
Just use the Fun With a Pencil method and draw some ovals and sticks to achieve infinite variety.

>>6938118
This is just me but you got to draw your character's body both by reading sources but also observing the body propertions of real people and your favorite artist.
Important thing - remember that the guideline of seven heads is MERELY a suggestion and not a strict thing to follow. You can go beyond around eight or eight and a half heads specially when they have really long legs/fujo/CLAMP legs or go below, specially when you want to portray your 'grown up' character as a manlet/womanlet. Always take in mind not only the waist to hip ratio but also the torso and chest.
Lastly always remember fat, specially with female characters. Not that fat is needed but it does add some variety sometimes specially when its appropriate to add something soft for another character to sink their fingers on.

>>6930369
Where should I start learning to draw anime as a person with no experience in cartoons? (just pictures of anime characters, not full mangas)

Most of what I've drawn is abstract art and simple objects (such as eyes, cubes, spheres). I'm ok at shading and rendering, but im not good at drawing smoothly. And the stuff I've drawn is not anime style at all....

>>6938304
I think the issue with a some hentai is that they dont show softness properly.

You have charcters holding onto eachother, but their bodies aren't being squished at all.

>>6936756
>>6936827
who is that book written by? got any others?

>>6935534
i like the vision

is there a specific 3d program you guys like to use when setting up a reference?

>>6938490
No clue, just search on hummer.github.io and filter for Korean.

>>6937438
do the krenz exercises some anon posted above you. the point of those exercises is to capture the silhouette easily which will allow you to break the hair into smaller parts without having the overall image be compromised
>>6932317
move on to perspective. if your goal is figure drawing try not to get too caught up in all the stuff related to drawing environments. some of that content is useful for drawing figures unless you were just planning to draw girls in a white void like most mediocre artists.

what’s a good booru for finding images to study these days?

>>6936756

post full artwork.

does anyone have a list of artist compilations like this? for study purposes

https://e-hentai.org/g/2361649/8303cc60da/

>>6939789
Well its an old drawing of mine. I haven't finished it yet, but yeah if you want here it is.

>>6940094
GIWTWM
i love your mind

>>6940094
Did you use 3d models as reference tool for posing?

>>6940162
Honest answer. I did not use any 3d softwore or models to use as reference. I instead just have the character sheet of all characters I wanted to draw and use their own proportions as my reference to draw their faces/costumes/bodies. Its why I've advised earlier to be observant of body proportions and that different characters from different serieses have differing proportions.
I admit that I am tempted to experiment on those 3d softwares other artist use for their art, but I am kind of already used to just eyeballing things that I fear adding an extra layer of work would make things longer to draw.


>>6940099
Same. Its a shame that Genshin did a colab with Aloy/Horizon of all characters instead of Geralt/The Witcher. I would've definitely played the game even if its gacha.

arts nice but personally masculine men turn me off.

Good.

>>6930391
Pretty fapanese, great job

>>6938282
And yet the pose on the left STILL mogs that AI sword guy

Why does the torso look so off?

>>6941736
maybe the shoulder is missing? other anons can correct me

>>6941736
I hope this will help with the anatomy problem. Did you have a picture reference/trace for this? All in all, rib/chest doesn't align with the torso/waist. That and her arms are looks mis-aligned.

>>6941861
>>6942678
Thanks for the tips. I got the reference here.

>>6941736
>>6942756
You have the torso pointed in the right direction but the clothes suggest otherwise/are getting in the way of the appearance. Try redrawing them with the turn of the body in mind.
>>6944259
Really nice looking studies. I should do more like these.

I am exhausted out of grinding fundies and haven't drawn properly for a month. I feel like I am not enjoying the process anymore, am I ngmi or do I just need a break?

>>6944368
>I am not enjoying the process anymore

#metoo

But I still draw every day

>>6944401
studying hair is completely breaking my will

>>6944368
>>6944401
>>6944407
I do not enjoy it either, I do 97% studies, maybe 3% original work.

I'll reevaluate my progress after this year ends and decide what I'll do from them

それまで、みなさん頑張ろうね!

these are just traces i did to practice my lineart before i do an original piece but i'm posting them here to give myself a symbolic sense of accomplishment kek

>>6930369
some of the megas in the pastebin are no longer valid.

>>6944558
what brush do you use to make it look like settei scans?

Are there any resources on drawing chibi?

I just lost like 50 hours worth of drawings and unfinished animations. Recovery didn't work. It's over.

>>6945396
Hard round + pen pressure + texture (add a lot of texture)

can someone redline the main issues here?

>>6945712
i would say everything, but to not be so crabby the main problem is your lines, not just your lineart, you are adding too much and making nothing, it looks too messy specially when everthing has the same lineweight.
you lack line confidence amongs other things like anatomy, the head looks like a peanut. the ref is to point out how a messy linework can work with line confidence without hatchig one gorillian lines

>>6945782
my pen pressure broke

any tips for drawing background? i'm struggle how to place figure on the floor, scene

been struggling in void white space for a while. for me figure drawing is managable tho.

>>6930369
>try to draw anime
>realise if you don't have the utmost cleanest perfect linework all your expressions etc. fall flat

It's over

I want to look at the different ways people have rendered dark skinned characters with screentones to help me decide how I want to do them
and it's irritatingly difficult to just find examples

Tried drawing something from imagination, but it looks off and can't really tell why

You're literally the king of /beg/s, the biggest fish in the pond. You should leave the pond, leave the /beg/s on /ic/ behind, and jump into the ocean if you don't want to stagnate. Also, you should really finish something for once in your life.

bocchi the rock eyebrows and head shape are the hardest things ive ever attempted to draw, and ive drawn decent portraits of real people. what the fuck

from imagination ( is it anime enough? )

imo, it looks like that style you see in shows like Young Justice; I like it, but idk if it's "anime" enough, w/e the hell that means kek

>>6951072

Ironically because there are less elements in anime each line/shape/color holds greater importance so its easier to fuck up if you get something wrong.

I am giving up, I thought I could go from nodraw pre/beg/ to at least /int/ in 3 years and start picking up commissions and opening a patreon etc. but I am still /beg/. I'm not a young genius that can learn new concepts effortlessly, I'm already 33, a slow learner and having major doubt as to if this is really a good use of my time when my peers are all getting promotions and getting married/having kids...

Would you consider this girl pleasing to the eyes, weeb bros? I'm going for an anime-adjacent style with this. I don't really draw human faces, but I learned how to draw eye shapes from anime tutorials and still apply the same technique to what I draw now

>>6951591
Those eyes look like you traced AIshit

>>6951594
damn, how so?

>>6951591
not anime but hot regardless. love me some muscle mommies

>>6951591
head is too small eyes don't feel placed right although maybe she is supposed to be zoning out staring into space thinking about something but if not then yeah fix up the eyes. The shape of the eyes is appealing though keep it up

>>6951591
usually anime is very telling by the face and lineart, not gonna dive on the lineart now, but you displa the western anime style very strongly, simple basic bitch eyes and squary head. instead of superior inverted egg asian head folded 1000 times.

>>6951072
Where did you get that Bocchi Settei model?

>>6951591
make her other eyebrow pointy as well, like the peak of it or whatever

>>6951661
>>6951679
>>6951695
Thanks goys. Will keep all of this in mind

>>6951679
NTA, but using overlapping lines for the form of the eyelashes is a great tip, thank you. Is there more of this tip or did you make this concept on your own for the eyes alone?

>>6951477
Just draw my nigger. I started at 28 4 months ago, but if you were in for money or fame then yes you're doomed form the beginning.

What makes Asian art so much different than western art? Does fall down to the line weight, or use of it? Based on my own schizophrenic observations over the years, western art is "heavy" and Asian art (be it Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese, Mainlander or Hong Konger, Singaporean, you name it) is "lightweight". Even in art with thick, dramatic linework and bold colors there's a particular kind of feeling to their illustrations. What causes this phenomenon? It's not as if all westerners were taught by the same teachers, and same with Asian artists.

>>6952389
the difference is western artists learn from western artists and eastern artists learn from eastern artists

are you retarded?
This board shills people like
krenz
loomeme
brigtard
vilpoo

etc、and in actuality japanese artists dont even speak english and have 0 idea who those mastercrabs are

>>6952446
pyw

>>6952389
Asians copy from asians, westerns copy from westerns, over time the 2 trend away, there isn't much to it. If a western wanted he could put in the effort to learn asian styling, there are a few western born doujinshi artists that made a name for themselves.

>>6952446
But in reality, one's birthplace shouldn't have such a significant impact on their art style, especially not in such a widely spread manner like this.
>and in actuality japanese artists dont even speak english and have 0 idea who those mastercrabs are
Come on now, anon. If JPN->ENG translations exist, then so do ENG->JPN.
https://amazon.co.jp/dp/483730107X

>>6952495
True, I've seen a handful of western artists mimic eastern styles really well. I wonder who they study from specifically to break out of western habits.

>>6952446
If you actually learned from Krenz Cushart you wouldn’t list him there.
Look just because you are too fucking disabled to get anything out of a resource doesn’t mean it’s useless.
Maybe you are the problem anon, learning is not that easy

>>6952581

Stfu crab, go do more xerox copy 'accuracy tests'

>>6952482
Lets play a game anon, I have already, multiple times in this thread. tag which ones you think are mine and youll probably be right

>>6951461
yeah, it's like shading with hatching/crosshatching. simplification is a real skill.

>>6951679
pls answer anon

>>6952664
if you can't do a xerox copy it's very unlikely you will be able to emulate eastern artists, and therefore very unlikely you'll ever draw "anime".

>>6952814
Not all copying is the same anon, I didnt say copying is bad. Krenz """""""""teaches"""""""""" his bullshit by putting it in guidelines like your playing connect a dot and therefore youll never learn anything doing his intentionally crabbed method

How do you shade like japs do?

>>6952446
>>6952664
I know you’re baiting, but for the retards in the back.
Loomis is both sold and translated in japanese, Saoki Naito has a copy of the Scott Robertson book he’s talked about in one of his QA videos, hide channel also recommend Loomis and he’s a professional animator. 99% of anime books are the same regurgitated Loomis head but with anime eyes, even Hitokaku uses Loomis methods in a simplified way to teach. I also don’t like the xeroxing in this thread but you’re being retarded

バネッサ

>>6952921
This is a good tutorial if you want to emulate that same look.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mc19XdEe8qg
But if you have a more specific group of artists in mind, you should see if they have process videos and do it their way.

>>6953044
I didn't expect an actual reply so thanks for the advice, I think that I still don't have enough experience to really know where and how I'm supposed to shape things out with confidence. I can get a result, but I feel like my colors are always shit anyway. I know I take ages to choose any and I abuse blend modes because I'm trash, I've been struggling more with painting in a "pixiv way" than when I learned to actually draw. Been recommended to try and copy japanese shadman before because he shades in a very simple way, so I've been trying to start off with that. Very helpful video, I'll try to follow the advice. Thanks anon. Learning how to paint in a way that you actually like is difficult as hell.

>>6953070
Figuring out what it is in specific that's throwing you off is good. Is it lack of understanding of basic shading? You might need to brush up on your fundies with that, how to render a stylized form. If it's colors then doing some color studies of popular arts or irl photos will help.
Another artist I know that's good at shading and has explained his process is Hata: https://twitter.com/Lhata4564/status/1571128667128074240

>>6953070
looks good anon, if the stocking was kinda seethrough would be very lewd

>>6952850
I don't understand what you're referring to because I haven't paid attention to this """method""" that /asg/ has stumbled upon (I can guarantee you he probably didn't come up with it). But relating all the parts of drawing to each other by way of "connect the dots" is a very basic fundamental visual skill that underlies all advanced drawing. Do you mind showing some of your copies (accurate ones) that have been completed without doing it the way Krenz teaches?

>draw anime in my teens
>at 20 I start studying seriously
>stop focusing on anime, gain an appreciation for golden age illustrators
>after 9 years of studying western artists, including the Old Masters, my style has an animesque quality
Anyone have a similar experience? I'm not intentionally trying to draw like this. My attempts to draw cute girls keep pulling me towards these neotenous stylizations

>>6952934
I'll add on to this anon's post with a story I remember reading in some old 2chan threads where someone relayed information about animators. It seems Sushio (formerly of Gainax) or someone else admitted he didn't practice drawing naked people all that often and a senior animator (Yoshinari, also formerly of Gainax) overheard started ripping into him, and quite mercilessly so; afterwards, the animator says he'll have to pull out his old copy of "Figure Drawing for All It's Worth" by Loomis-san and get to practicing. This is understandable, figure drawing is an animator's bread and butter and they need to know how to draw many bodies from many angles consistently. But to think Loomis would be their go to...?

In Tatsuki Fujimoto's one-shot "Look Back", the main character begins to seriously study art in elementary school in order to be a mangaka. One of the first books she goes out and buys is Jack Hamm's "Drawing the Head and Figure".

Yusuke Murata infamously used an instructional drawing by Loomis line for line in one of his manga (albeit as an example).

>a book having an english translation means every japanese artist reads it

stfu crab

do tell which japanese art books youve read (0)

>>6953876
What is the best japanese artbook that is translated?

>>6930369

>>6953876
Not >>6953892, but I'm also looking for translated Japanese/Chinese artbooks, and lessons. I don't know what it is that they're doing differently over there, but I want in on it.

>>6930369

I don't know how to draw bodies yet. I feel like the body might be a little too big

>>6952934
this is an edit you retard

What is the way to study and practice drawing hair? Do I just produce 100 master copies of other artists' pieces focusing on the head?

mtレディ

This general is seriously riddled with shitposters like >>6954198
No wonder none of the decent artists post here

>>6954237
>copies

>>6955131
Well do you have a better suggestion?

>>6954237
No. Don't do the coloring and only rough shading when copying hair, or anything that is. The goal is to remember the basics, the essence of what makes a drawing good and never the details. Copy, and then think about why it bends the way it bends, or why that piece of hair is where it is and ho it relates to the volume of the head. If you do all of this while copying you will learn, if you just blindly copy without understanding what you draw you won't learn, or just very little.

>>6955138
>Well do you have a better suggestion?
not copying

learn how hair works then copy shit you like, if you copy right away with no fundies you are just gonna symbol draw. Copying is the worst thing to do as a beg even drawing mindlessly is more productive.

My first attempt of drawing an anime girl form imagination after having draw for 1 week

>>6955224
hit me with some good videos on hair fundies, please.

>>6955436
>videos
just draw you fucking wimp

>>6955423
good

/asg/bros...

>>6955668
Don't be a retard. He's talking about making sense of the proportions to maintain the likeness of characters for fanart purposes. You're not supposed to draw this grid every time you draw the character but it's fair to note features when you're drawing them for the first time. If you find the grid too autistic then make your own shorthand or mental note.

My studies of the last days, I feel that there are days that I get better and others that I get worse, but I think that's the rules of this game.

Why cant this just be enjoyed as a hobby anymore?

>>6957169
Why would you try and paint it when your reference is clearly sketchwork? Face is way off because of it

>>6957187
Because were fucking OLD anon.

If your satisfied with producing slop in your adult years then by all means just doodle with no care

I'm 33, all my childhood dreams are withering away and the reality of a lifetime of servitude to globohomo in my office cubicle is setting in. With no wife or children to live a life with I want to use the last remaining embers of my youth to get really fucking good so I can at least put my childhood dreams on canvas. We are living in one special kind of hell.

>>6957518
This is me but younger, how can anyone NOT want to be the best they can.

Its almost like people who play multiplayer games but avoid ranked the entire time because "duuude i just wanna chill out" while they continue to LOSE

>>6957518
I am you but younger. Getting ready to become a wageslave soon. We aren't gonna make it, but at least we can get some sense of purpose and progression in life

>>6957225

>to get really fucking good
That is literally the definition of a hobby. That has nothing to do with begging for shekels while making traced art on Patreon.

>>6958508
kek

Are there any good resources on how to draw hair? It's my biggest weakness and I can't wrap my head around how to make the hair in my drawings not look like garbage from a lot of angles.

>>6952664
You are actually retarded if you think Krenz only teaches you accuracy, kys low IQ faggot

Just noticing there’s a billion generals that serve no purpose

Anyways I painted Vincent Volaju

watch this
i will also dump some tutorials for you
art senpai channel has very good tips on hair as well even though his art is beg, but his advice is probably coming from japanese tutorials. i never understand how his art is so shit but his advice is so good

i will stop here but there are more, look up this illustrator if you like these, he has many small tutorials such as these

>>6959555
Nta but holy shit I never thought to use hair pieces like that

in conclusion i will say that anime hair stylization is about
1. dividing the hair into different geometrical parts flowing around the egg shape of the head. these parts are : bangs, sides, back, and top of the head. they are like different "landmarks" and should be treated as a separate shapes, but made to flow together
2. all of the different parts of the hair flow from one spot on the top of the head, so treat the volume of the hair accordingly, the volume comes out of this spot. especially emphasize the the volume of bangs as flowing from this spot. it's also where the ahoge comes from, if there is an ahoge
3. when the geometrical parts are constructed, start detailing the flow of the hair. the details follow the flow. there are very specific shapes for detailing the hair that give it the anime stylization look, it's like a language. all japanese artists use them. if you wan't a classic anime look use these shapes and do not deviate from them

ah and it seems obvious but pay attention to where the hair is parted

ok i'm done spamming kek but this was to illustrate my point. good luck to all anons in their studies

Suggest me a nice pose for anime girl eat burger. I can only think about boring stuff

>>6932648
Using loomis to draw anime heads is just not necessary

Based hairposter tysm

>>6959671
not using Loomis is a major sign of permabegdom

>>6959759
the japanese artists that everyone loves has never heard of loomis retard. their language doesn't even have the L you keep chasing nor can they even speak english anon but do keep up the western cope

>>6959643
Go to literally any anime booru and search for the tag "eating"

>>6959780
beg cope

>>6959798
yeah bro every japanese artist totally read the english book fun with a pencil, stupid amerimutt

>>6959865
>fun with a pencil
lol lmao
faggot

>>6959759
That's not loomis, retard. That's not even his method, and don't forget that loomis didn't invent construction.

>>6959759
kek. anyone who hasn't read Loomis are nodraw losers that simply cannot be taken seriously.

>>6959961
literally has nothing to do with loomeme

>>6959939
cope westoid

Reminder to ignore perma/beg/s

>>6960272

>>6959961

FUCK why I can draw normal faces no problem but I can't do anime fucking faces goddammit

Have you ever wondered how you would feel if your biggest inspo/favorite artist dies or stops posting while you're still alive? I would be distraught :(

>>6960536
Yeah thatd be pretty rough for you if someone else died. Sounds traumatic

Anyways here’s another Vincent painting

>>6960631
I still remember when I went home with the vhs, which I stole from a shop because I was broke.
The sky outside was the same color of the one in the movie at the end.
A good memory

Anyone here subscribed to Minimarucomic?
I'm interested in his sheets and I was wondering if they've ever been shared around here. 2 weeks ago he uploaded all of them at once but they're gone now (since his links only last for 1 week) so no point even subscribing.
https://www.youtube.com/@minimarucomic/community

>>6960536
Mine already died though...
I'll still continue having him as an inspiration though.

>>6961284
Nope. I brought it up a few months ago and I subbed to him for the month hoping to grab it but the link expired by the time I joined. It's hard to predict when he'll drop it again.

>>6961284
>>6961327
Intredasting
I'll sub and keep an eye on it too

>>6961618
Much appreciated, anon. Hopefully you manage to grab it. Seems like good material.

Can I get some crit before I start coloring and whatnot?

>>6963477
needs more roomis and viripuu, tbqhwy ugh...

>>6963834
I know you're easily better than me but you do realize that this redline is incredibly unhelpful outside of a few things w/ the legs/hips right

Drawing FOTM with a mouse is so tiring, but it's worth it. :)

>>6963871
based trendhopperGOD, im also drawing that but with a different girl, already farmed some good rikes and follows with some meme scenes from that anime

>>6963874
>im also drawing that but with a different girl
Awesome, which girl? Fern? Aura?

>>6963877
it was from a gacha, yff gee-o.

>>6963883
Where’s your wapeach? She’s the new flavor of the month

torso:arms ratio kinda off, no? Still very proud.

>>6963897
2m...

I keep drawing
and then I draw some more
and then I draw even more
but I'm still not getting better
this sucks so much

>>6963897
>Where’s your wapeach?
>She’s the new flavor of the month
Here.

>>6963954
you haven't draw enough

>>6963971
hard to stay motivated when i'm seeing literally no gains for 6+ months
i'm still drawing like a 13 yo kid

>>6963834
why is her head so small?

>>6963989
As long as you're doing better than me you're probably fine
how much do you draw a day on average? mine is ~1hr/day

>>6963989
you should draw more than 30min a day anon

>>6963834
anon can I humbly request you make an ntr doodle? Love your style

Where do artists go to find pose references? I tried 3D models but the results suck.

>>6964220
I have 32 gb of pose refs + about 100gb on external drives

How do I get a look like this?
Here's what I can see

>film grain (?) for texture
>a bit of chromatic abberation
>mostly the same line thickness on outlines
>blurring on the plan and elbow area to create a kind of depth of field effect?

that said the thing I'm most entranced by is the hair

>>6941099
Another one
>>6941425
>holy stick
It's a bad habit i have when drawing, when i draw them thiccer i start fighting myself.

>>6964773
To be fair, I love Disgaea art. The characters are kinda of a stick there, but it's proportional. You can thrive with the stick bodytype, just need to mind the proportions, that demon girl's body is way too thin in compairson to the head. This one is slight better though, but be aware of this.

>>6964785
>I love Disgaea art.
Gonna go study some official Etna proportions now that you mention it. I'll experiment and keep your post in mind. Thanks for the feedback, anon.

so ive been practicing fundies for the last few months and realized ive almost completely neglected actually drawing anime shit
honestly drawing was pretty fun that i just kinda did other things instead.
should i delve into anatomy now or just try to trace/copy/study anime references of artists I like.
I should focus on one or two body parts at a time regardless though yeah? Like... copy an arm, try to fix the arm... copy again... try to draw from memory... am I on the right track here I am fucking retarded
