**Strive for quantity AND quality.**

Anime Studying:
>Copy anime references exactly and draw them from memory. Use illustrations, screenshots, anime figures, 3D models, etc.
>Don’t copy recklessly. Use construction, color theory, and other fundamental concepts to rehearse a drawing process that you can later easily manipulate for original artwork.
>Post all of your anime studies. Post even when you’re told not to. Create an art community that actually draws and improves together instead of just talking about it.
>Number your attempts and link to your previous posts.
>Critiquers should lead by example by posting their studies.

General Anime Style Discussion:
>Questions about achieving certain styles/techniques/compositions etc.
>Drawing methods, study habits, resources, tutorials, tools, software, etc
>Be specific and try to post a sample of your study attempts before asking for help.

**Draw copies from good anime styled references to mindfully up our mileage, internalize appealing aesthetics, and learn from each other’s processes and knowledge.**

What's the link for Krenz's perspective course in the pastebin? Yes, I'm a retard and don't browse this board pretty much ever. I don't have internet six days a week so I need to actually download the files but can't figure out what website the link is for. Doesn't seem to work on mega unless I'm a retard and fucked something up.

it's not just the eye but the whole side is squashed. I wasnt sure what reference you were using. but something like this could work. but youd need to chose a style. either commit to anime or do realism. the realistic nose with the anime eyes feels weird.

[Anonymous No.7283501]

>>7282238
Depends on what you want to learn. If you want to master an artists style, stick to one artist. If you just wanna learn beg shit like hoe to draw a pose, stick to fundies and it doesn't really matter what artist you copy from, as long as that artist understands what they're doing

Yes. Happens most often in animation for characters. But an artist can have different proportions and shapes for boys, girls, chibis, etc

hi anons
i got a serious question
i'm trying to explore a certain style that resonates with me while my goal is to draw in anime style but i can't figure out a term that is somewhat realistic yet still has its "anime-charm" if you will
for example in picrel
i'm not trying to draw the same as above like in "moe" style but somewhat has a balance between the two
anyone knows the term or is this a specific style?

keep a close eye in angles, look at the negative spaces, your picture has a much more vertical jawline, making her have a narrow and sharp face, instead of a wide cute one. Just widen the face a bit and adjust the chin and youll see its much closer to the reference, great job.

How do you pick images/artists to copy? how do you know you're not just copying someones mistakes?

[Anonymous No.7286388]

>>7286382
Define "Mistake" every stylized choice is a mistake if you aim for realism, and if you do aim for realism, copy from life.
If a style looks good to you, its "mistakes" are the point, grab art you like and want yours to look like that and copy it.

(person) (action) (object)
1- winged goddess of nike raising an eyebrow while swooshing a basketball in the basket = eyebrow shape

2- gru from despicable me in profile smoking a pipe while a man with an open mouth salutes the loch ness monster being cut in half = eye shape split into halves


be back later to explain this all, but this is basically how i remember what ive actually practiced and find myself practicing more because ive embedded the otherwise nonsensical shapes into funny images. now i just have to go for a walk and imagine those two images at different places/landmarks and viola! thats the method of loci in a nutshell. If you think it doesnt work, you can try it for yourself butni guarentee even years from now you wont unsee gru as half the eye and since you have a landmark associated with it, where you memorized it, all you have to do when you want to recall the info is seriously imagine the scene, engaging as many senses, what does gru smell like, sound like, etc. your brain will have that many more hooks to latch onto when you ask yourself. “who was smoking that pipe at my mailbox?”

i can expand on it more but if you want more read “moonwalking with einstein” by joshua foer

[Anonymous No.7290636]

Traced a screencast from Urusei Yatsura.

Things I wanted to practice: mark making, color choice and shading. I did my best to trace in one line without chicken scratch or second guessing myself. I also did minimal cleanup to practice not overshooting. Then, I eyeballs the colors and compared them to colors picked from the screenshot, and then colored in my lineart with my colors paying attention to shading.

Things I learned: ZOOM IN JESUS CHRIST THINGS GOT 100% EASIER WHEN I FUCKING ZOOMED IN. My color choices are less muddied/more saturated the the original. Did not do a good job on the shading of the dark blue.

face balance, hands, feet and legs could be improved, head is too tall, pose is okayish, could be more dynamic by tilting the head and adjusting her right shoulder, and the position of her right leg

a nitpick maybe, but I think making the very edge of the sleeves a bit sharper and darker could improve readability, maybe something you could try is looking at the drawing in different screens, phone, phone under the sun, second screen, tv, etc, if it pops in all of them perfect

Here's what I noticed in your artwork that could use some work: The knee should be brought up to rest on the face, pay attention to the shape inbetween the face and the knee to see how the spacing should be,
ear shape isn't right, shoe is in a different position but I think it still works so, you should work a ltitle on the hands/fingers the thumb needs some work on its shape, I would break down the fingers into three sectionss if you aren't already.
skirt folds could use some work, with some more details on the hair it would be even better.

it didnt post my comment because I am retarded. This one was copied and then overlaid. The first time, the jaw was way to flat- the jawline angles up more than I thought. And the bit under the lips (the "cutaneous lower lip) should be way more in. I do wish I hadn't made the nose sharper, I like it better the first way even if it is less "accurate".

Thanks anon! all the relines really make it look better. I know about the knee part, but I'm too afraid to fix it and mess up all the proportions like a domino effect, so I chose to ignore it.
And I really like the hair strands above the ear, my fashion sense is just too bad to know they could be drawn that way.

Is there anywhere I can get R18 anime character models to pose? I use clip studio paint, it comes with basic gray mannequins but I want something better that I can pose for reference. I found this anime model on the Japanese asset store some years ago and this would be perfect but I can't make her naked. Do I need blender or some other program? Should I be downloading H games at this point and if so, which one? I just want an upgrade from the basic grey mannequins I've been posing.

They're usually a series of images inside an artbook and you'll have to go back to find them, since new books prefer CG quality
Angel Halo Artbook has a bunch of girls with each color area clearly delineated
Active Art Book has a lot of old sketch-cg comparisons showing the process
Discipline Artbook has a bunch and Discipline Cover Collection has easily readable colors
LineArt has a short set at the beginning from the Cleavage VN

Retarded question since ive only started recently, but when it says, "Don’t copy recklessly. Use construction". Does it mean that i should roughly draw over the original with ONLY construction, and then try to replicate that drawing as best as i can with construction aswell? or should i just skip the 1st step and attempt drawing it with construction immediately.

I attempted copying without it and it looks meh, the inaccuracies are easily visible, so I'm not sure if theres any value to copying that way. Also is measuring proportions important? i assume not if i want to draw from memory or imagination later on, but im still unsure ofc.

[Anonymous No.7310618]

>>7310600
You can draw over or copy. If you aren't confident with anatomy or perspective, construction using boxes and shapes will help you remember the angles in a figure.
>Also is measuring proportions important?
Proportions make things look better. You can grind figures and get some instinctively or measure and get the details of a character just right.
