Approximately how many hours of drawing does it take to go from total beginner to this level of anime?

[Anonymous No.3863880]

>>3863879
4 years

[Anonymous No.3863881]

>>3863880
In hours?

[Anonymous No.3863886]

>>3863879A ~2 years of studying coupled with a few thousand hours of drawing. That's being optimistic about how well you can learn on your own and what resources are available to you.

You could get to that level today if you copy it well enough. Hell you could get the linework nice and ready in a couple of minutes if you trace.

In all reality, there is no arbitrary amount of time where you go from beginner to that level — you get there when you get there. And most likely on your way up to that level you may even decide you don't even want to draw in that style, who knows? My best advice for you is worry about the journey and only periodically remind yourself of the end goal but don't make the end goal your primary focus. You'll be much better off.

All these posts you might see from guys all depressed because they're not drawing a certain way stems from the mindset that asks this kind of question -- don't get trapped in that pit. Good luck.

probably like 4 years

Couple years if you're being studious and have a good schedule

[Anonymous No.3863909]

About 2500 hours or something to that effect. You could probably consistently make something like that at 1000 hours if you focused on specific things like painting and figures in perspective. 2 years sounds about right for being able to do work like that if you have ideas in mind and an eye for composition.

I love this trope of anime girls eating huge burgers. When did it get so popular?

[Anonymous No.3864067]

>>3864062
its like the shaggy meme before it got viral

Anon are you starting from absolute zero or do you have any prior experience? Could you post your work. Not for a critique but at least so we can gauge what level you are currently at.

>almost that level with line work, but not quite
>can’t color or value worth a shit
>been drawing 4 years

Is it over for me?

[Anonymous No.3865493]

>>3863879
From scratch? 3-4 years if comfy, 2 years if working hard. It's all really basic, the scene is 1 point perspective, face is from the front, rendering is really basic, nothing crazy with color, nothing particularly dynamic. Maybe even less than 2 years.

>burger

nips are so fucking retarded.

[Anonymous No.3865536]

>>3865513
interestingly, nips also researched the perfect stance for eating a burger, which I use to great success

Holy shit, so the Japanese really do have secrets.

I-is this how Kim Jung GI got so good?

[Anonymous No.3867088]

>>3865488
maybe not if you can point the anatomical/perspective aspects that could be improved about it
