i hate tablet posting

>>7111187
3 of my previous post got into OP image, is that some kind of achievement?

How do they do this blurry effect? They blur it manually? Colors often spread

I blurred edges manually

Guys, is there basically a "guide" on how to use programs like clip studio paint to organize layers and stuff? I can get my sketches and lineart down, but then I get totally stuck and don't know how to actually use the program to turn my art into something digital that looks good. I don't know where to go besides just watching a 6 hour art stream, but I still don't know where to find those either.

quickie mouse paint lain because why not?

Would appreciate if someone could give me advice on drawing hair.

Struggling with it pretty badly.

>>7111660
PYW or just be urselv

>>7111279
i will bump for you anon.

More studies, this time focused on necks because I'm bad at drawing them. Any advice is appreciated.

>>7111831
Well done. The only advice is do more

>>7111844
I'll do so, thank you.

Does lineweight and hair look good?

>>7111263
Copy your art or just the lines onto a new layer and Gaussian blur, then play with the layer mode and opacity

>>7111885
it looks pretty good I would suggest using thinner lines more often in places that could benefit in doing so.
I linearted it in my style so you cna compare if you'd like to

>>7111208
Thank you, here's a Falin.

would you say the face looks better now?

>>7112309
i actually like left more

>>7111263
i think this is just from compression

Which colour suits her better?

>>7112386
Black ofc

>>7111885
>>7112071
Thanks for the advice, linart and hair are always hard to me even when I'm copying.

>>7112309
Yes, ignore the crabs

>>7112309
i drew my attempt to helpu
u ened to keep in mind what emotion you want to express in the character because both these drawings are diff, serious and sad?confused?

>>7112924
what about now

Erm how do i make her face seem reality kind of shocked and still cute at the same time??
is It good?

>>7113103
she's very cute now if you ask me

the right eye got fucked up when i drew it with the marker lol...

i am now trying to draw some perspectives of bodies and stuff so i can improve, i will not surrender, i have a long long way to go

>>7113198
try practicing the forms of the hair, and use more details such as strands of hair, the ear needs work, ganbare anon u can do it I believe in you

>>7113198
based weeb picasso

>>7111885
>>7112482
Just a loose guide on how to think about hair shapes. You develop your own style of layering strands the more you study from other artists but it helps to know some basic underlying structure like this. Everything from where the hairline is, how hair falls and where it grows from are subjective, though they do adhere to things like form and gravity. Looking good so far, though. The face ended up really nice.

>>7113103
You just needed to widen her eyes a bit more I think aka show more of the whites. But here's some ideas I had. You have a cute style.

>>7113361
>>7113362
how do rate these anime heads?
I really don't get how they work and people in the previous threads weren't really giving advice and just fighting about some random guy

>>7113363
They're not bad! You're getting the hang of features relative to where they're supposed to. The problem now is consistency and keeping with proportions. I find the hardest part is imagining how the head turns and how things like the center line and other parts shift along with them but that just comes with understanding why those guidelines are there in the first place. They tell you where things should remain to seem believable. Remember that the head is a lumpy shape, not a flat surface. While the lines help tell you where things should go relative to everything else, you should also learn the 3d form of it too before anything else. Pros play with the proportions and break the rules, but there's always a baseline or fundamental that they all pull from, which is an irl head. Stay aware of those patterns as you continue to study other artists as well as from reference.

>>7113387
thanks!
is there something that would help me understand how the head turns and the center line? I tried doing boxes and circles but I feel like it gets harder for me that way... I know they're necessary but they're too hard imo
I guess I sound too whiny and I should just do it instead

>>7113405
You'll get the hang of it the more you do it, really. But here's a couple videos that I think are pretty easy to understand:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWEKKwKZtWU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjiCQfCMXow
Lastly, if you find the whole head too much at once then do it in parts. Try turning the circle with the center line, or a box with a center line. See how well you understand how to turn it convincingly. Then slowly add features like circles for the eyes, a simple shape for the ears. Then when you get the hang of that, add the bottom half of the face. Don't be too hard on yourself while practicing, the point is for you to understand it in the end, however way you need to get there. Keep at it!

>>7113418
ok thanks, I'll try doing that
thanks for the videos too

How do I do the anime hair light thing in krita? I've tried following a few tutorials and none of them look right.

I'm bad with posing arms
What do I do?

>>7113361
I think I got the idea anon. Chickenscratch lines and hair strans shape fuck me up tho

>>7113722
That looks really good! But yeah a lot of the rest is seeing how other artists tend to bunch and group strands. It has to do with not just the type of hairstyle but things like implied hair thickness, length, windy conditions and most important, the silhouette and how that makes the character look appealing from any angle or situation.
I find animators the best people to learn from in this regard. They definitely think about movement more than anyone. So you can load up some anime scenes or look at genga, see how they deal with hair shape and flow, and they'll range from very simplified shapes to more detailed strands for closeups. Once you get the hang of it you can then up the detail even more by looking at illustrators or mangaka and see how they layer the hair. Pic related is from the animator, Ligton: https://twitter.com/ligton1225/status/1731923226513608982

Incredible, very much appreciated!
Have a (YOU)

>>7113768 (Me)
Had to get to my desk to find these pages from the book "[Xiao Weichun] Human Anatomy For Artists", i'm sure there's an active link somewhere still or on sadpanda. There's also sakugabooru, specifically the hair tag you can search with. https://www.sakugabooru.com/post/show/253054
In the end, you learn by drawing it yourself and feeling it out so good luck!

like this???

>>7113198
i will fill this whole page with griffith's perspectives

Today copy, I really like how the pose turn out. I always had problems with that specific angle maybe I should try more screen caps from anime .

>>7113794
Anon also you can find art made by profesional animators in Sad Panda. Yoh Yoshinari is one of my favs.

>>7111187
hello, im new drawing since i just got a huion tablet and I want to make it stick. I spent around 2h this morrning on copying this panel from psuedoharem. I tried to sort of construct the face since i looked up some videos about how to start and saw that I should be constructing the image roughly first then drawing it in. I notice a lot of mistakes ofc, like the proportions are just wrong and a lot of details didnt match up. THis leads me to a question, should I be spending a lot of time trying to do just one drawing like here where it took me 2h? Or should I do quicker drawings, where I just sketch for example and do multiple? any other advice is also appreciated

>>7115537
The point of construction is to make sure you have the proportions and forms right before you commit too much detail. I'd recommend doing several copies (of the same panel or different panels) at just the construction stage, really focusing on nailing the proportions and correcting your mistakes, and then pick the best sketch to polish. That way you get both types of practice, and likely a more satisfying result. Good luck!

>>7115582
oooh, thats really good advice since I would get to practice both types. Thank you!

>>7113387
nta but how do you find where the nose is when drawing other angles? usually I have no problem with it on a realistic face but its fucking confusing with anime cuz sometimes in angles like 3/4 you can see the nose bridge line, where in others you only see something like an indication of the nose or nothing at all

>>7115743
As you can see I still have some trouble with this myself but basically the dot is typically represents the very tip of the nose. Often you forget that the nose and mouth actually juts out of the center line of the face, like you would see more clearly in a profile view, so you have to think of the placement of the nose and mouth with that in mind. This can vary proportionally for every character design but vaguely follows the placement to a realistic face (eyes reach around the top of the ears, nose ends around where the ear ends etc.) but either way, if you find that the nose looks to be in the wrong place just check for the balance like this.
This video by hide explains it way better than I could, including placement of the eyes.

Hope this helped a little!

>>7115775 (Me)
Forgot to link the part 2 video which actually goes into the nose!

but stop hiding hands lmao

>>7115839
probably will go with this as the final

Damn, Lunatic Soda got good.

>>7115775
>>7113387
thanks for these, I appreciate it

>>7116061
The hands need major reworking. Try making this pose in the mirror to see what I mean. The far hand barely looks like a hand (splay your hand in front of you as you read this), and the near hand is bent impossibly. The good news is that the hands are the only things that are obviously messed up in this image, and it can otherwise pass as authentic art from nipland. Nice work.

>>7116061
will have to agree with >>7116135
There are some missed opportunities with the top hand that could improve the picture.

>>7116135
ok ill try and redraw, not sure how to

not ai, just winged the hands this time, and i continually upscale the painting as i work on it. here is zoom in for proof

>>7116230
now you gave her old lady hands

>>7116222
hes trollin you, the original image isn't ai, this anon has posted work and a blog before I think it was subu something

>>7116256
how do you know what old ladies look like? i got bony thin hands but im real young :D

>>7116230

Can you post layer 1?

kinda funny how the drawing I did without reference came out "better" than the one I did with reference
I fucking suck...

everything is merged now, so there would be no point. idk what to tell u anon.
we gotta draw more hands and senran kagura

>>7116269
>we gotta draw more hands and senran kagura
we're gonna have to draw more, TAIMANIN ASAGI & FRIENDS

Should one push through and finish all drawings or focus on step by step until they reach mastery in each? Like if your goal was to reach this level of drawing, would it make more sense to do sketches until you could reach the same level of quality as the sketch shown (maybe that takes years), then do the same for lineart, then colors, or should you be trying to learn all stages simultaneously.

>>7116061
This is not your blog, subu.

>>7116656
The jannies are lazy fucks, this board is dead.
Get out of here while you can, bro. Nothing of value will be lost.

>gLose the fear of not being 100% annoymous and go for greener pastures.
must I be forced to post on reddit?

How can i make a more solid construction when drawing scenes like that one? Its usually better when i draw an character alone

My process: i drew the VP, sketched the bridge and then the characters over it, then made a rough of the BG. Materials: mechanical pencil for lines, 6B pen for shading.
Also, any other critique not related with my question is welcome

You're welcome! Glad it was even a little bit helpful.

Ah, i'd rather not share. I just pop in here once in a blue moon for resources and, if I find the time, to share some tips.

>>7116816
Aw bummer...

What do you guys struggle with the most? For me it's eyes and hair

>>7116828
face, head, eyes, nose, mouth, hair, etc

>>7116816
you need more loomis all of your faces you drew were wack, like the ear is too far back and the cheek and jaw bone is not quite right.you also have this problem of making the eyes either too big or too close together

>>7116859
Yup, i'm aware! I've been lurking from about 2019 and my proportions used to be way worse until I started grinding with stuff I got from here. But i'm continuing to try my best.

>>7116765
No, things are just as bad there. Violet Clovers is decent even though it's a discord server... If only the jannies did their job.

>>7116892
so youre saying switching to a discord is the best option? ill ahve to search around for them then

>>7116605
No, you’ll be a complete beginner at every new step if you do it one at a time and it’ll be forever before you ever do a complete drawing. Just do the best you can for now and complete your own works instead of just studying but focus on studying one main thing at a time that you’ll apply to your next original drawing. Then repeat with something else you study for the next time and so on. That experience making shitty completed drawings does add up over time and make it easier to improve.

so second day of trying to learn. I followed that anons advice to not just do 1 construction and to sketch things out before committing to more detail. Doing this makes me realize why the manga panel looks so much better, and one of the many reasons is the lineart. Its adds so much,vs mine which has 0 of that so it looks flatter and less detailed... Also proportions are still wrong, I drew her head slightly bigger then what it should be and the head shape is off too. Any advice is appreciated

>>7116939
for day 2 you're pretty good at copying already. my advice is to not overthink individual studies like this and just do a lot more of them. the cumulative experience of doing a lot of drawings will do more for you than any kind of analysis.

>>7116605
I tried to do a full work and it worked in a way that taught me what I was lacking and focused to study on that, from perspective to anatomy issues or shading, etc

>>7116936
Well, any community which reinforces their rules and have a good control on who's entering it's fine. It's not exclusive to Discord, but most people prefers it.

>>7116946
hmm alright, thanks! ill try and make sure to draw as often as I can

>>7111187
subu's art is mid at best and gets hard carried by rendering lol

>>7117115
not really, just looks like a texture to me, you seem like an idiot anon

>>7117051
Who cares? If you posted in the thread so far, then your work is trash at best or you have no work to speak of. You should spend more time time drawing instead of shit talking, anon.

>>7117273
yeah, SOMEONE here should definitely actually learn to draw in the first place lol instead of lazily tracing prompts or direct references
oh wait, that's never happening ever

>>7117336
>using refs is cheating
Stay mad and bad permabeg

>>7117051
Do not disrespect my subu-sama, bitch. pyw.

Wip chara from an old anime I used to watch in my childhood

another day at it, i tried doing five sketches to see how it'd go. Only the last two are remotely close to the manga panel. i guess i dont much else to do expect to keep at it

>>7116269

how are my proportions

>>7119523
you traced a 3d model so they look fine obviously.

>>7119527
really lmao

How do I get this to feel more like >>7118994
Is it really just the brush?

i'm really bad at being consistent with practicing. any advice for this? i'm working on this drawing to get back in the swing of things after not really drawing in a bit

>>7119863
>any advice for this?
unironically, just draw

>>7119863
It helps to know what should be improved on in specific areas. You got a pretty neat style going and you have some appealing shapes here, but things like the eyes reading flatly and not shaped correctly for that angle, her twintails are crooked, the back of the head is looking a bit too bulbous, you could work on making her body fit the perspective more. Start with any one or a combination of those to practice. Rinse and repeat with each piece you make. Just don't get discouraged when it feels there's a lot to work on, it's a gradual pace. As long as you keep moving forward you'll improve over time and reach your goalposts and then move them further.
>>7119851
Looks like the right brush but maybe play with the pressure curve? The artist you're emulating might have different settings either directly on the tablet settings or the brush itself. Since your hand draws differently from whoever drew those, tweak it to mimic a similar enough result.

>>7111187
wtf... the one on the bottom left in the op's pic was one of my doodles for a v drawthread

>>7119917
Thank you, this was helpful and very motivating! I definitely need to work at improving my anatomy and perspective moving forward.

Absolutely based if you are.

I'm glad you found my art similar to his
He's my favorite artist and I'm trying to draw like him
TRY is also a really nice person and always answers questions on his patreon

I think some heavier shadows in the drapery may help. And some touch of highlights. Chin is a bit pointy. Face is a bit small if my focus is to go there. The circle of flames could perhaps use a little more depth as well. I’m not in love with the purple/mauve. gj

I didn't like my version and it felt like I was copying you.

>>7122132
what about now?

>>7122188
I didn't like my version with the shading and it felt like I was copying you. I genuinely enjoyed the criticism. Forgive me...

I tried drawing a female figure from imagination. I thought i was doing good when i was doing the side view, but i really struggled when i had to redraw it facing forward

>>7122364
When will you guys realize that there's no shame in copying, it's how you learn. Especially when somebody paints over. I can understand not attempting shading but why leave the eyes different sizes and the clouds flat? You see more of the bottom of them as they get higher up, and less as they approach the horizon

>>7113031
Better but It still looks like the features are more floating on the face than actually believably mapped on the 3d structure of the face. Check the link below for some 3/4 perspective help. I'm

It's helped me immensely to do proportion studies but I still suffer with eye placement/perspective. The image is a reference drawing for practice. I wish I could do that from memory.

測ったほうがいいと思う。ToT

Browsing danbooru i've noticed that the most favorited pieces aren't the best drawn ones, but porn. Maybe i'm overthinking too much...

>>7123194
lol you should honestly ignore follower count for the sake of your own mental. Simply put, sex sells-- porn was a massive contributor as to why Blu-ray disks became the standard over HD DVD. If your goal is simply to become popular and/or make money, the actual quality of your drawings is not as big a factor as the subject matter itself. This is also why art will forever remain a hobby of mine, would probably wind up hating it if I drew for a living.

tl;dr just draw what you want, unless you're looking to go pro or something.

Where can I find anime style references for hands, feet and otherwise? Something like moe parts drawing collection: 12 hand poses for comic drawing- *not that I managed to find where to download it yet*

>>7122216
cont, will correct the hands soon

I really should start drawing more instead of once a week...

>>7122433
For the frontal part only
Take in mind that this is my first time criticizing one's work, so i may not provide you the best words. And after reading this i concluded that this is based on my perception and style of anime art. Maybe a video on youtube will provide better informations than this.
I think that you should keep in mind the proportion ratio of the body. For a young female is about 5,5 - 6,5 heads, 1/6 head, 2/5 torso and 3/6 or 35/60 (with the feet). Keep the hips larger then the chest and curve a little bit the cleavege/shoulder area. Also, i think that your image needs a bit more of tridimensionality. Check the shapes fundamentals to achieve that.
You have a good line and a good knowledge of the human body and its parts and made a nice drawing of the hands and feets, so i belive have a good ability on structuring parts of the body in general too.
I made an image for ilustrate what im saying

And thats all. Remember what i've said in the beginning. I didn't wanted to critique you in the "fixing others art" or "im better then you" style but i cant find any other better words, sorry
Anyway, keep up the good work, have fun on your next studies!

>>7123180
Your study is even more appealing than the reference, would be awesome to see you apply color to it too! Love the gradient in the shape of the shadow.
>>7122867
The proportions are way worse/off model here. I would spend time shortening the body, and putting the eyes closer together.

I fucking love Range Murata art

I think I'm getting better at 3/4

>>7123395
yeah
but you definitely need to get better at linework

>>7120245
If you tried animating, you could increase the appeal of your art tenfold by having breast or butt giggle. Give it try later

how can i apply shading to anime style/learn how to shade anime? i want to know how to shade from cel shading like tv/movie anime to the shading of light novel artists and pixiv artists that mastered rendering (https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/89259577)) (https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/106403455)) or any other ilustrator that you may like

>>7123460
The same way you learn to shade anything else, by learning the forms and studying how light interacts with forms. Anime isn’t special or different from any other style in how light works. I guess you could play around with 3D anime models to learn simplified anime forms under different lighting conditions.

I tried the method of doing a "blind" copy then fixing it using the original image as reference and I'm curious if I mess up the proportions or the what the fuck is just happening with the volume of her hair?

>>7123563
Ref image used.

>>7123563
Which drawing is which?

is you that one nigga who draws the fox sniper girl???

>>7123344
WHAT IS THIS MICKEY MOUSE SHIT???

>>7123320
oh i thought you were sucking off

>>7123180
You will never be nip Subu

>>7123574
fox girl sniper?

What am I in for? I paid $250 usd

>>7123766
Anon why tf would you do that? I assure you everything you learn from this you could easily learn for free

>>7123768
yes but I'm not improving fast enough and it's time to change things up a bit.

>>7123771
I wish you the best anon, yet I can't help but feel as tho you are in danger of descending into a rabbit hole of tutorials instead of laser focusing on a single method for an extended period of time

HOW BAD IS THIS ?

>>712378
not that bad. like the lips and noses below, but the necks are weird and the linework could be better

>>7123784
Better than the everyday person!

KEEP GOING! Try working with thinner lines and keep practicing your draftsmanship.

consistent practice will always make you draw better.

Cute

>>7111187
Does anybody have any advice on how to anime-fy this character? I try to balance the anime style with him still looking recognizable. I draw him with an eyepatch because usually he does wear it

>>7124073
It looks decent and anime-like enough to me anon

>>7124095
Thank you anon. Do you think he looks similar enough to pass as that character?

>>7124100
the painting is too western

>>7124111
Should I stick to drawing his lineart + color only?

>>7124073
Cute. Who is he?
>>7123979
>>7123563
You'll find that sometimes artists will break rules to push stylization or better visuals. Raita does that all the time, that's what he's known for. In this case, you're right, her forehead and hair mass have been elongated, it isn't anatomically correct but it works, somewhat. Naoki Saito has a video on that very subject where he discusses distorting the face and eyes, though I can't recall the name of it right now.

>>7123246
Aaand done, I think! I completely reworked the hands, using mine as ref

>>7123371
Thank you!

>>7124196
Radbro

>>7124073
Cute, the only things that seem off are that you made his hair longer and eyebrows less straight. Also the eye color is a bit different. If you change those it might look closer.

hi delta

welp

>>7124644
had to use something like a grid to do it but it came out kinda nice so I guess that's enough for today for me

Today studies.

>>7120504
why is it so big

>>7120755
beginner art brings me home

you all say loomis this, bridgman that
but what's the loomis equivalent for anime heads? bridgman equivalent for anime bodies?

wanted to do a quick sketch to get the idea across, question, how does the pelvis construction look like on this pose?

>>7125724
You know this is bait, right?

>>7123395
How long it took you?

Who do you guys think the best anime artist is? I want a specific artstyle to strive towards

>>7126679
Strive towards an artsyle you like

>>7111187
what is the source for bottom right

>>7126679
you

>>7126679
Bear hand fishine and 雪 魚生

>>7123784
Pretty bad, but don't let that discourage you.

Maybe everyone knows this already, but something I like to do sometimes is go to a mangaka's pixiv, and look at their bookmarks. There's often some tutorials they've bookmarked, which tend to be helpful for someone like me, who finds it difficult to really keep straight in my head the best practices for some things.

how do i draw the hair glow like this?

>>7125745
You draw like a 14 year old furry weeb(not in a bad way)

>>7127372
You draw like a nigger bitch.

what is a style that you know for faces where the guys look cool and the girls still look moe?
a lot of the mangakas I know that draw cool guys usually suck at drawing women, and having women and men in different styles feels weird

>>7127514

>>7126037
that piece? less than an hour probably

>>7127372
thanks, im 26. its what I wanted

is loomis drawing the head necessary for anime heads - or should I just do copies and memory drawings? My construction is somewhat okay but I can't draw appealing features and don't think 1930s pinup is the style I want to go with

>>7127840
shut up nigga bitch, you draw like a NIGGA BITCH.

>>7127514
>>7128070
Well, Don't CLOSE the DRIVE-IN.

>>7111187
I did a Manga Panel Redraw for the first time and I was surprised with the results. There is defiantly room for improvement but I really liked how it came out.

>>7128088
interesting results, but I'd like to see you draw something by yourself.

Tried drawing Anya, can't draw bodies though so just her head and shoulders.
Sorry about the lack of lines on her uniform, I don't have any got white pencils rn.

the wind waker manga is alright, had fun drawing this second panel today

>>7115819
My lineart has gotten better now

my goal is to make moeslop stickers for the boys when the crusade eventually happens

I am lost as to what direction to keep progressing in. It feels like there are too many things to improve in and I don't know what to do. How to resolve this?

>>7129616
When I hear someone say this it's always because they spent too much time on /ic/ and spent too much time listening to muh fundies advice. Art is hard sure but if you see it as something insurmountable then you're approaching wrongly.
Do you have a more or less defined goal?

>>7129628
At the moment I'm just trying to get my art to look like the artists I'm drawing inspiration from. I'm pulling out whatever resources I can understand and mashing different techniques together to get something passable but with continued observation I keep noticing more and more missing shit from everywhere in my own pieces. It is overwhelming.

small sketch before bed

>>7125944
What I'd do

>>7127350
Carve with hard round brush

>>7130855
woah thanks, it does clear up abit down that region.

>>7130831
Good work but you should spend more time refining the edges and adding stronger/warmer values because yours looks a bit flat in comparison. Also airbrush some yellow light in there.

Today practice. I was told my anatomy looks weird (which I agree) so I trying to learn by brute force coying different bodies types by using "blind method" basically doing a copy without a ref of a subject then correct one copy with the ref and other without it.

I don't know if this going to work but I'll try it at least for a month.

>>7130966
Here's the ref

Do you guys think an anime style 3D with a few 2D elements sprinkled on top of it could work ?

>>7131297
Try it and you'll see. I think it could work, yes

I think my mistake was trying to be atleast as good as average... If i'm not gonna make it, aiming for average means i end up as mediocre. But if i aim to be the best...

>>7130969
the anatomy on the ref is so fucked up lol absolute dogshit

>>7130966
Today practices, I absolutely suck at back to viewer poses that why I decided to try that angle.

>>7131337

:(

>>7111187
trying to learn for the time being, posting this before I hit the hay. Day 1, give me any suggestions on what I should do to improve.

>>7131533

Fix your sleep schedule for optimal learning first and foremost

>>7129371
Finished with the coloring and shading.

can i get crit

>>7131933
the first image already has good lines and proportions, seems like rendering is the main improvement

>>7131921
Yeah, from full metal daemon

>>7131933
nigga deleted EVERYTHING

>>7131933
what was it

>>7131933
>This account doesn’t exist

kek

>>7131982
a picture from july 2023 and one from now that was mona from genshit

>>7131933
It's difficult to tell for sure, but they might have been called out for using AI?

>>7132000
I did think the mona kinda looked like ai but I didn't see any obvious mistakes

>>7132000
I don't think so, but he admitted he copied other drawings, then realized he didn't just lie to everyone but also to himself, and promised to stop drawing before deleting his account.

>>7132000
anyone have that yuuka?

>>7132034
so he quits drawing just like that within 20 hours of that post, that's something

>>7132034
Japanese people are always so retarded with this, it is completely insane.
