How do I ensure to have max acuracity?

It's tracing to get the proper measures the only realistic approach?

Keep telling yourself that. Most artists regardless of their skill level are heavily against this. All kinds of artists.
Remember how many professional artists up and left artstation when they started scraping their work?
Established artists with great work to show boot just disappeared over night.
You just refuse to see this from a sane perspective. You refuse to see how this is extremely damaging for artists and how it was only meant to increase profit margins for corporations.
You're essentially aiding these same companies getting away with plagiarism on an unprescedented scale.
You're ripping us off, resorting to manipulative arguments, twisting the truth, mocking us and then cry about being bullied afterwards. We're calling you out. You're a bunch of morally bankrupt scammers and nobody likes you people.

Again, just because AIfags are the "Untouchables" of the art community who are universally disdained and ridiculed does not mean that some of the shitty artists ribbing on them are not shit and should use AI shitters being shitters to validate their /beg/ness. They should aim to become better artists, something AI artists lack the discipline to do.

Mocking AI art does not automatically make these Sudra-tier niggas Kshatriyas or Brahmins.

memes can be made/pumped out in seconds, just like al slop. Those meme accounts that constantly post the "new" latest meme was posted from 10 other different accounts. Meme post also brings in no followers at all, since there's no point in following the account, since you can find another one just like it in 2 second s of scrolling. Drawing actually requires effort and gives genuine engagement and followers because people like your style or how you draw things. Outside of artist, the biggest complainers of getting no views/likes or followers are meme accounts and clip channels(3 second to 1 min clips of pre existing media)

You can simplify this to like 3 layers
Collecting layers is for pussies, merge them together after you're done with them.

Cel shade, blend it, slap color on it, merge it together and overpaint some details, done. No need to write a table of contents for your psd

Not really.
Germany and France have a lot of ties with Japan, a lot of French animators work in the anime industry like that guy that was a key animator on Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 or that other Frenchy that worked on Chainsaw Man.
Plenty of companies hire anime artists in Europe for their anime and manga inspired comics.
There's also Eurocucks like picrel that work as a freelancers for weebs and Japanese companies.
>Timbougami's an illustrator from Germany
Plenty of weebs do webtoons, OEL manga, and VN games and they all use anime art style...

I don't read vns because reading most vns requires running nonfree software. Manga, anime or LNs are much better because you can consume them with only libre software, e.g. mpv for anime, nsxiv for manga, crqt-ng for books.
Most visual novels should be avoided since they are proprietary.

I've been telling everyone I'm learning to draw for the last year or so. The truth is that I spent the first week diligently doing DrawABox, lost my motivation, and I haven't drawn a single thing since. Not a doodle, not a sketch, nothing. I can't even draw a decent looking stick figure. They all think I'm a decent artist now because it's been going on so long, they even buy me fancy art supplies and I think them and tell them how 'x will be so useful for my paintings' and so on.

I don't think I can keep this lie going on forever.
What do I do?

Have YOU been telling them that you're a decent artist now? If so, then yeah you're fucked.

If not, you can just be honest and say "Yeah I'm still at the beginner stage". Only really dedicated people become decent artists in a short time frame. It's okay to improve at your own rate. You should only push yourself when you're no longer satisfied with your current skills.

What does the French Comics scene look like right now? Is it possible to make a living as a French Graphic Novelist (both writer and artist)?

Learning French literally only takes 1/10th the amount of time as Japanese. I don't know why everyone is so obsessed with Japan, when you can go to France and have the same kind of career, with less effort, and a better work life balance. Tell me if I'm wrong or not.

Dear anons, neither of you read my post.
The American comic book industry is now integrated into the movie and tv industries, that's why I considered it larger.
DC and Marvel probably make the most money from games, tv, movies, cartoons and licensing, NOT from comic book sales.

To the second anon. Can you point out what you claim is a lie?
Try to take things in good faith, a mistake vs a lie is a big difference. But I do not see how what you wrote has anything to do with what I wrote.

Cope, then. The MCU fan isn't buying comics. The anime watcher IS buying manga.

>>7301628
>Paycheck for nips is shit
This makes for a good case of joining the industry as an indie, but good luck making it to the fullest extent. You might get a printed manga, but odds are against you for having your own anime or game, unless you can budget and license that stuff yourself/find good contract legal stuff, etc

I have been struggling so long with what the fear of being seen and judged overpowering the urge to create. It has caused me to hide within myself, to paint what is conventional, what is expected, so I've been painting landscapes, still lives, portraits for years and years. And now I have no idea how to return to myself and my personal creative visions. I don't even know if I had them to begin with...
I feel feeble and old, like the creativity (youth) has passed me by, though I am actually young.

When I am not painting, I often think about it. And when I paint a landscape or something to scratch the itch, I feel like something is missing and there is a lack of fulfillment.

I doubt I am alone in this, so please share your stories.

>therapy is the worst thing you can ever partake in.
Depends highly on the doc. Exercising may be less sensitive to external factors though, aka probably a better option.

Sport and music were the foundation of ancient Greek elite education, and were meant to psychologically balance people. Then they were ready to study other topics.

But today we consider sport and music as recreational activities. We've become so stupid and dismissive towards our ancestors it's unbelievable.

>how to overcome fear?
Simply: you are doing your work for yourself. You are seeking to improve your work for yourself. Either share or do not share it; it doesn’t matter. All that matters is that you do it. After all, you shouldn’t expect yourself to be great; you just need to be the best you can be, and then work upward from there.

Who does the therapist go to for therapy? Therapists are often just as broken, if not more so than the people they’re trying to ‘treat.’ Short of something serious like PTSD, you’d be better off simply just thinking your problems through on your own and trying to rationalize them effectively, rather than chatting to some fucktard who is likely inclined to push you down the medication railroad for basically nothing.

I'm not a total beginner but I wouldn't call my self very knowledgeable or skilled. I will not post my work unless anons specifically ask for it
I will try my best to deliver a accurate criticism of what I'm seeing and hope that my limited understanding won't drag it down
I will also not crab at you for being on the lower end of the skill chart

Also last thread I couldn't answer a few requests and I'm really sorry for that.
I hope the anons I didn't get to will post again

I honestly I don't know what color theory is either but in my mind it should be translating to what looks good
The figures themselves are very nice
Quite erotic but I think the yellow eyed ones foot isn't be bending enough to the side but instead you have her toes pressing into the bed
Some good attention to detail as well though I can't figure out what the chain on yellow eyes is supposed to look like
The pink and the white veil are very similar colors somi thought at first it was part of her hair.
Maybe if the room is so dark don't go with white for the veil
But that's the only extent I can think of it
Pretty good job

>>7299589
The uniform and the looks of the character are badass
I think the chest emblem could placed better. It looks too much into the direction of the viewer despite the chest pointing away from the pov
I think this for the pointy cloth thing right next to it in the left. I don't know what's it called though
But I really like the perspective work though, irs very cool

>>7301168
Ohh hey that's pretty fucking cool
If I wouldn't know better I would say that you tried drawing eyes in the sky but didn't made it too obvious. But I could be wrong
The background posses an interesting challenge. How.mucb detail are you willing to put into it and how do you go about it? Because it can very easily obscure the point of focus
You choose the white outline for the smelly man and the low quality detail background
It sort of works against itself though.
The walkway that the guy walks on looks very tangible, very indepth and 3d. But then to the left you what I only assume is grass that looks like someone put up a white wall with black stripes
Same goes for the tress. They are also very flat
But front and center you have the undead guy who looks excellent and would be the first thing of focused for most viewers, unfortunately im not most viewers
