Previous Thread:>>5299442What is /ALT/?If you're looking for a place to post your cartooning then you've found the right general. This is /ic/s 1st and only merged hub where both Eastern and Western stylization can coexist peacefully, hence the double title. However, by community demand and long history, this is favorably an Anime general.>Rules & Guidelines(1) Any form of cartooning is welcome; so submit and receive feedback from others. (2) Please resize your images before posting. (3) Share your knowledge and (4) Remember to not be afraid of asking for critique. Most importantly I encourage you to keep discussion at a civil level, but you're more than welcome to share your opinions.>I came for anime. Why does the image OP say cartoons general?To distinguish from the anime study thread (janitor supported).

As an animator who mostly focuses on drawing, painting was never a priority, but I've recently been interested in learning it as a hobby. I'm looking for an online course to take in my free time after work. How useful is Schoolism's "artist workout" format for someone who is kind of a beginner painter? Would I be better off taking one of their standard courses? I'm aware of most fundamentals and principals when it comes to painting, but I never really practiced them.
You'll never have as cool a name as WOUTER TULP. Except if you're Fresh Tallwalker or frckin CLAY HYGHT
>>5328580You missed the point because you're obsessed with social justice passporting.
>>5328589Let me replace the racial slur with 'rival' because you're a sensitive faggot about this.Bobby is brilliant. But if I'm a rockstar artist. And I'm miserable teaching retards. Then why the fuck am I getting ornery at my students to let someone who is my rival get even a portion of my sacrifice of time. My rival is getting even a dime? I'm the fool. My students get a subpart course experience? I'm the asshole.
>>5329148And do you think bobby cares that Nathan is MISERABLE and shitty? It's all automated, when Nathan leaves; Bobby will just find another sucker. He doesn't care about your course experience.
what the fuck is going on in this thread, I just wanted to know if Wouter's course was good. At least that other anon was chill enough to give his thoughts on Craig Mullin's and Nathan Fawkes' courses
>ok anon honestly, what do you think of your audienceand would you let them into your inner circle aka become actual friends with some of them

I've just spent years of my life listening to music through my headphones while going on walks and daydreaming about imaginary scenarios.

Stuff like ITT >>>/co/122085895 for some reason has left me nervous in the roughly year since I’ve been drawing worse coom than they’ve been hounding after. What is the best way to evade their drama?
>>5315170I don't like interacting with people on the internet that are obsessed with cartoons, they're all manchildren or mentally ill. Never again
>>5325836You must have avoid weebs like the plaque.

>>5315170This has to be a joke, it says they're 18 in their bio and they've reposted a lot of underaged character's doing couple shit. Either they're completely unaware or making a joke.

So I'm working as a concept artist and I'd like to join a discord server that are on my skill level. I'd like the art there to be the soulless kind that you'd see on artstation.

>>5329097>using discordbtfo degenerate tranny
you'd have to pay, otherwise it's all discord trannies
>>5329097I'm in a couple, you aren't missing out on much.
>>5329140Can you post the links?
How do you quickly fill your base colors for your lineart? I always spend so much time because the fill tool leaves so many of these types of gaps. I never see anyone else have these problems
>>5328414How about stop making shitty lineart lmao
>>5328414>disable anti aliasing>Area scaling 1 or 2>disable fill the gaps
>>5328414All the pros use Nuke for this.
>>5328414very carefully
I don't use this software, but in PS you can just add new layer and clip it to the one under, and use layer masks
Why You Should Copy Anime:https://i.imgur.com/zNDsyF0.jpghttps://youtu.be/t_IODIIYAe0**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.Comment too long.

>>5328875Eyes are not always in the middle but eyes height proportion usually measured from bottom to top of skull, not to hairline. Post that page you found.
>>5328638The highlights and using different colors to accentuate the overall lighting/shading, but maybe more specifically I'm more interested in learning how to color like the left drawing. I like how the hair is colored
What do you think of my most recent art?
>>5329141It looks as if you copied and pasted the head and area above the shirt from an anime screenshot and then cropped, resized and pasted the torso from a literally who into a Frankenstein version of a figure. Well done.
>>5329141ehh, it's not good as you think it is. kinda yucky desu desu senpai
I think about giving up drawing everyday. And when I give up I think about picking up drawing again everyday. It has been like this for over 5 years. Little progress over the years ofc. Why can't I approach drawing as something fun and enjoy it? With sports, instruments, video games, whatever, I can have fun and practice seriously, what is stopping me??? I have my entire life to get good, but getting to put the damn pencil into the paper is so fucking hard.
I don't think you understand what "enjoy drawing" means. VOLUNTARY. FUN. doing shit you actually like to do. Saying things like "draw every day" makes me wonder if you are even taking this seriously.
>>5328691I draw daily and I enjoy it and get excited every single time, some of you are weird as fuck about this. I can't imagine forcing myself to get into a hobby that isn't enjoyable to me.
>>5329012Some people enjoy creating or expressing something with their art, but the process that leads to the end result is at best a nuisance, at worst a constant struggle. On the other side of the spectrum you have people that really love the process, but have no real vision or desire to create anything in particular with it. I think most people fall somewhere between those 2. Very few artists love everything about art. The trick is to identify which type of artist you are and then work towards your strengths.
>>5328898So after 5 years you still struggle with drawing to the degree where it’s not fun at all?
>>5324970>what is stopping me?/ic/ tends to trap you in the mindset of harsh self critique and erodes your modes of positive reinforcement because the language for it doesn't pop up often. There is a difference between humbly taking critique and being self destructive by having no pride/joy in your work because you let yourself think its shit and your efforts are wasted. If you never receive positive reinforcement for something you do, even from yourself, eventually you'll stop doing it. Your cycle is probably one where while you're not drawing you think back about how good you are at it/how far you've come until you've got enough steam and then once you start you immediately start tearing yourself down and picking your own shit apart and you never let yourself have the successes that are yours, like you'd do for sports or music.
I'm 39 years old and have disregarded drawing hentai/porn art - until I researched how much of an industry it is and that it's more likely to pay money - So yesterday I decided to see what I could draw as a test, this is the result, what do you think? do I have a chance with my style?
>>5328812>>5328347>>5328906Funny of everyone is mentioning "faces" and sexual appeal and of the 3 out of 140 posts containing art other than OP they are far worse and done with less skill and less appeal. If OP's image was bad no one would be commenting, crabs only come to where the art that frightens their weak self esteem is.
>>5328915>people don't like my art because they're jealousOr they don't like it because its ugly.
>>5328966heh, yeah sure champ
>>5328915What you meant by "less appeal"? OP's pic is beyond ugly, everything in that piece is unappealing as hell, EVERYTHING!
>>5328970kek, imagine being this delusionalshoo shoo schizo
