>>7944741Some tools technically could but you'd spend about as much time as you'd draw normally. Well maybe 1/4th, but still gotta rack your brain up in trying to get the AI to do what you wanted. Kinda like trying to train a cat and it'll still disobey your command 70% of the time.
I am honestly trying to find something to praise AI for, but anything it could generate i can practically do faster myself without having to fight the rng.Rendering? Just find the technique and workflow that works for you.Any non-artist that would use image generation for advertising or such, is just outing themselves, since if you don't really care about how you advertise your product, i will assume that's as much care and thought you put in your product. You could say that AI, as a tool used by people, is a litmus test.I mean, sure you can cheat with it everywhere and let it write your thesis, but you will be eventually get found out.

I think I officially am graduating myself from /beg/. I’m feeling solid in my expression of forms but I’m having trouble drawing without reference. My work turns out messy and unkempt and I panic trying to achieve proper values, especially when it comes to things like drapery. Any advice on what to practice further?
>>7945354This art looks familiar, what's the artist again
>>7945354Looks to me like you left beg a long time ago, great stuff. I say aside drawing from imagination and memory more, work on darks and line weight. This piece could be a lot more powerful with the proper use of line weight and more dark values . Loomis has a good guide on values and drapery https://drawinghowtodraw.com/2014/04/shade-add-light-complex-forms-shapes-objects-drawing-tutorial/

>>7942539>>7943013nta but it looks like it goes on for a few more days
>>7931963The techniques you employ in this exercise now need to be used when drawing from a reference, ideally starting from a still life or really simple anime girl (think shin-chan, this is more important for beginners). I, unfortunately, created this exercise in the /beg/ thread when trying to make a point about the importance of proportions. Like any exercise, it should be too easy at some point and you need to move on. I find most anons have a hard time progressing from exercises they've outgrown. You really only need to do an exercise like this a handful of times, probably less than 5. It's just so you have an easy environment to understand the concept. You also don't need an app for this if you have any painting software.>>7932273You're also just using the skills from the exercise when you draw. I draw ellipses and straight lines all the time whenever I sit down to draw just a bout anything. No need for the exercise because it's just part of how I draw.
>>7945016>>7931963Also this app is really frustrating to use compared to a drawing program. I can't select a dot to remove, which makes comparing very difficult. If you're able to get within 90% accuracy and above, move on to real/photo subjects. You should have a good grasp of how the comparative measuring works.
Not sure how to go about rendering the body, not sure whether the light source would be mainly white or orange.

>>7942908requesting beginner's guide to digital painting in clip studio paint by 3dtotal publishing. any any other how to draw anime in csp
>>7895903This took me like 20 seconds in SAI.1. Have 2 layers with the same pic.2. Use Brightness and Contrast to remove Color depth, contrast to max, and then adjust Brightness until the page looks good.3. Use multiply on that layer so it mixes with the one below for the most subtle grays, and maybe also remove color depth from that one.Ta-dah!
>>7944828I don’t get why you were so proud of this. Your result doesn’t look clean. Looks very dirty actually. Nothing like a proper digital release/rip. And it honestly misrepresents the actual book. I have his books. He didn’t use bold lines like that. It really looks like >>7895903 . >>7895933I searched for it. Found the one for simplified forms. But doesn’t seem the complete catalogue is leaked?

Post some inspoArt you likeArt you loveArt that inspires you
I just can't get past how cool and expressive SNK's spritework is, it's just so effortlessly cool
how do you draw as good as animators?
>>7940936This, it actually takes longer to draw bad drawings than good ones. Not many hobbies are like this. In cooking if you burn a meal, you wasted resources but also its a clear fail state that ends right away. A shitty drawing will rob you of so much time you could be spending actually learning, and you won't even know why it "burned" until someone tells you. If you know how to draw, it will come out of your hand like a flowing river and time will fly, a bad drawing has to be wrenched out of your stiff and hypertensioned hand while you silently rage.
>>7932821good animators are pretty much the pinnacle of artists they can draw a muscle from any angle in any position they have a deep understanding of 3d space you must know your fundies completely and have a lot of stamina. it will take decades of practice unless you luck out and find a study method that works for you or a good mentor>t. has watched so many artists git gud or fail or burn out over the years, only now taking that journey myself
>>7934948kek what the fuck

Its been years since his passing, can anyone fill his shoes?
>>7942920Why should anyone bother trying to fill them? He had a neat parlor trick, nothing more. Insanely talented and did nothing with it. Kind of a shame. I think the better you are naturally at drawing, the more it crowds out space for other things in your brain.
>>7943172>>7943237>>7943166I liked him because of his passion and love for drawing, he doesn't care that he's not creating a magnum opus, he doodled non stop because he loved doing it. It's a rare case of someone finding their 3 year old self with crayons again
>>7943150so brave!he was amazing. fuck the jealous nodraw dissenters
>>7943150>HOWEVER a lot of the stuff he liked to draw was ugly.I appreciate that so much. So many artists need everything they draw to be cute, moe, kawaii, I guess because their lives are so miserable and ugly that they need to draw cute things. Its repulsive to me, variety is the mark of a great artist, but people that draw anime girls over and over because they need cute and comfortable is so narrow minded. Do something different, surprise me in some way, because its boring as fuck when I know you will keep drawing the same shit over and over.
