I'm a total beginner and I'm trying to follow the /ic/ learning path. I'm suffering from the so called "symbol drawing" and it seems that the first step to learning to draw is getting rid of that habit.

The guide recommends two books: Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, and Keys to Drawing.

But do I HAVE to read ALL of both books? From what I've seen from both books it's just author schizo rambling, and I don't think I have patience for that.

The 'trick' is to oscillate between the brain’s hemispheres, rather than favoring just one. One hemisphere [the instinctive one] simply accepts the world as it is, while the other[ the one of will] seeks to impose its own intentions. If you create solely from one perspective, you will produce unbalanced art: either too redundant or too autistic.

I made the original comment, here is my art. I frequented here some years ago and I remember being humbled by the artists that were on here. And people were being sent back to /beg/ if a certain quality was not existent in the stuff they posted in /draw/, this was THE place to get feedback and haul your ass up to get some fucking splendid work done.

1. Don't post too revealing works (especially porn). If you think it's too lewd, post a censored copy here and link to Catbox (https://catbox.moe) or any off-site that hosts images for your works. You may also link back to /b/.

2. Keep it to 2D Anime/Cartoon characters only. Do not post chiId photo references (legal or otherwise), and do not talk about issues regarding real children.

3. It is recommended to let the thread reach page 7 before starting a new one.

people on /beg/ say that copying the drawings in a book is often more important than reading the text, and I kind of agree; drawing is complicated, trying to put everything that makes a good drawing into words would result in a tome the size of the bible, so it's easier to make some drawings, expect the readers to copy them, and hopefully have them intuit the basics from doing that

Do you use any online tools for this?

Use case e.g. A character has green hair and red eyes. But I can be flexible. Which greens and reds look good together?

This lets you drag some colors around and they stay somewhat correlated in Analogous mode. any other tools you like to use?
Or do you guys just take color theory courses and that helps you paint?
Or just borrow palettes from art pieces you like? Is that really the best way?

Right now I'm pretty much just randomly guessing what colors look good and then changing the hue for different parts of my art until it looks okay but I feel like I'm missing thousands of better possibilities.

Why would I want to learn from Oridays? I watched his ten thousand hours video before I even started drawing and it discouraged me a lot, because he still sucked at the end of it. Picrel is my two hundred hours of drawing anime girls, mogging the fuck out of him.

Of course the no draw calls this thread stupid.
It's one of the better threads on the board, both in topic, and in actually having people draw.

Isn't that an exception that moreso proves the rule? If she stands out because of her nose, or if you feel she has a particularly unique design compared to others, that sort of shows that the OP was right in their critique.
>>
>>7868413
anime and manga in general might suffer from a paucity in unique faces, but unique faces are no exception in the source material for that pic. it should be no surprise given togashi's technical artistic background, and this remark might indicate what the issue is with anime and manga. miyazaki has complained of a kindred problem along a different line of attack, but even his style is not immune to the cloneface critique.

ask yourself simply, why do (YOU) think he "draws as pretty as he does"
>>
>>7868446
>no one draws as pretty as he does
that's your taste speaking. your ability to draw curves will obviously depend on how used you are to using a pen to draw curves, while style will be a combination of early influences and the liberties you yourself take as you accrue experience.

otherwise ito is indeed fantastic, though not unmatched.

I recently started recording my work process because people think my work is made with AI.

just ignore it
don't engage with angry mobs. i nall facets of life
this is known
I'm pretty sure a lot of ai accusations are from pro-ai trolls btw. sometimes you see a few less sophisticated attempts where it's obvious
also, if you start putting value in the process, ai rats will just start using ai to replicate the process. I've already seen some not very convincing attempts at animating the drawing process, complete with hands and all, but it will probably get better
>>
9 times out of 10, when people accuse obvious non-AI art as being "ai slop", it's from prompters trying to goad you into sharing process videos so they can A) use it as learning material for their algorithm and B) use it to fake process videos for actual ai art. don't feed the machine.
