AI + chink/SEA outsourcing. Do you really think Hiroyuki Takei himself redrew all of the covers? Do you think all other manga tankoubon releases’ corrections and redrawing were done by the original mangaka and assistant?
It’s a business, anon. They will always go cheap when possible.

>Technical skill improves
Did it?
I don't think Takei had much improvement to make in that regard, no part of his artwork was limited by technical skill.
And I'd argue the comparison is stupid anyway. The latter cover is just as stylish if not moreso.
>>
>>7876403
I see a couple of reasons of why this might be the case.

1. They get assistants to help out so they can churn out more content
2. They change their stylization to appeal to a broader audience
3. They start off drawing on paper and then move to digital, which allows them to do things they weren't able to
4. They change it to a stylization that's faster to produce or easier on their health.

While they're not homeless, they definitely are almost universally all freakish.
I think the artsy fartsy art teachers are just using their freakish connections to hire the models for as cheaply as possible; either they're keeping the change, or they're just dealing with so little money that they can't afford even a normie, much less a hottie.

Look for an art studio or school near you, see if they have public life drawing sessions. The one I go to is just $10 to get in and you get about two and a half hours of modeling, if you show up early. But there probably aren't studios like that everywhere.

Not technique, but specific animation.

It's in the like, early 2000s late 90s Tripping the Rift realistic style.

There's a female robot that grabs a fully naked man by the ankles. Throws him way up in the air, does a somersault and lands on her hands, splits her legs open, and catches the man cock first right up her cunt. Then she proceeds to pump her arms and milk her victim.

It's not like, horrendously weird by the standards of this website. But the idea behind it is really illustrative of self-prop systems, capitalism as AI, "First we make our tools, and thereafter, our tools make us" type capitalist realism/Landian shit type shit.

If anyone has ever seen it or can find it that'd be wicked. I've been looking for five years I guess.

How is one actually supposed to use this book?
He opens by saying you don't need to draw circles or straight lines or curved lines freehand perfectly, but then shows diagram breakdowns drawn with perfect lines and if you try to freehand them and they're even a little bit off (like the spheres) then the effect breaks completely and they don't look 3d at all.
So you DO need to be able to perfectly freehand draw a curve around a circle to make it look like a sphere.

Then he says to draw blooks but doesn't explain any of the construction and just fills in random details on each one like "yeah just make shit up". My man, if I wanted to make shit up I'd just do it, I'm looking at this book TO FUCKING LEARN HOW TO CONSTRUCT THE FUCKING BLOOKS!
If you don't tell me what the landmarks I should look for how the fuck do I know where to place the ears and the cheeks, if I put them too low or too high it looks wrong.
Why doesn't it fucking explain anything, how am I supposed to use this shit?

You're doing it wrong.

Fwap is all just about drawing sloppy faces and learning how to rotate them accurately. Eventually you will get into actual facial features in Heads and Hands but it sounds like you are going to be unhappy with any lesson strategy that involves learning things over time

>look up Andrew Loomis work
>It's this
So this is the power for the highest level of construction... Woah....
He would get absolutely COOKED both today by Instagram artists and before his time by old masters. Funny how he lived in the only time mid drawings were considered impressive.
He was the equivalent of one of those people who get rich by telling other people how to get rich

So things got better and better until loomis then went worse precisely after him? Again, he is a respected master historically but his books are fairly outdated, simply they are not the best tool to learn drawing nowadays.
>>
>>7881094
Moving the goalpost. You said only /ic/ recommends Loomis. Then, when shown that one of the best known illustrators of the 20th century recommended Loomis, your response is that there must be better books now? That book was written at a time when illustration was in high demand and artists could become very wealthy painting pictures for print ads, magazine covers, articles, etc. So yeah, it's a product of its time, and that's the context in which Rockwell is recommending it. The information is still useful for people who want to paint effective pictures, because the principles are timeless. /ic/ is the only place where moronic weebs need to have this information repackaged (poorly, I might add) in Chinese before accepting it.

>>7881131
>So things got better and better until loomis then went worse precisely after him?
>So no other good drawing books came after
Stop changing the topic to suit your argument. Are Loomis' books still highly regarded, and do they still do a good job? Given the constant recommendations of his work (as shown in this thread multiple times), that speaks for itself.
Are there other good books? Probably, but that's a tangential point so it doesn't matter.

If you want to talk about other good drawing books so bad, do so, but don't dismiss Loomis' work as bad to inflate the prestige of theirs. If their books are so good, it should be able to stand on its own, you shouldn't need to bring down Loomis to make them seem taller.

enough about recommended drawing tools; what's the worst thing you've ever drawn with?
for me it's these pieces of fucking shit. these things are completely unusable, as in they literally do not function. incredibly scratchy and the ink just does not come out half the time. even a dried-up bic pen is more usable than this shit. i did a sketch holding a tiny fragile stick of .5 mm colored lead between my fingers and it was a more pleasant drawing experience than trying to use these

I like them while they work, because I like bold/calligraphic strokes and they have this lovely rough-hewn quality. Bought one and have barely used it. The issue is the "while they work" part - they can't hold ink for shit and feel wildly inefficient. I think you can improve ink flow and retention with some modifications but I haven't tried it.

That's what you sound like. Why don't you argue that humans shouldn't exploit eachother.

I DON'T WANT TO LIVE IN A FUCKING AFRICAN/INDIAN SHITHOLE WERE PEOPLE KILL AND RAPE EACHOTHER ALL DAY AND THE PRODUCTIVE PEOPLE ARE ALL KILLED OR RAPED TIL THEY STOP WORKING
>>
Art is and has never been productive. It's a miracle of modern capitalism that we've managed to mangle society into a form where people could get paid to draw at all. AI art is just a correction. Yet society stays mangled. We have to further mangle society so that whatever useless shit you retards do next (that machines can't do) is valuable.

How about art critique? nothing is more useless than that... Oh wait AI can already do that. Any other ideas? I guess influencer is already on the rise. verified human Yelp/product reviewers etc, things AI can't really do (sure they can make fake reviews but.

Or maybe you buy/notary insurance for AI output and become liable when it breaks something.

Most likely we just all start using VR and that makes a bunch of ludicrous jobs for everyone. I personally want to be an a virtual quest giver/ adventurer guild receptionist by day and loli prostitute by night
Though an AI could just do both of those jobs
Ok so literally every person becomes a divine king (due to having a soul) while AIs become the army chambers jester pesants etc and we all compete against other kingdoms (soul havers)
So it's alot like various isekai novels where for example the "loser" who gets beheaded just goes back to the lobby where they are good friends with the guy who just killed him, even though he spent a whole life time or thousands of years caring for the kingdom.
The soul haver role is just symbolic and it gives metaphysical weight to the AIs so they know they are working for a purpose.
And by making a human the symbolic "head" you can control the billions of AIs

I'm gonna set it up so my AIs have a group of heros try to over throw me every few generation and I NTR the MC right infront of him every time. Only for every 1000 years or so I get "actually defeated" and body snatch my successor

>Art is and has never been productive.
How so? It produces something. The value of that thing can be debatable, but there is value in beauty.
I don't want to look at a blank wall all day, and would rather have a painting to look at instead. Beauty is something that elevates not just the feeling of that particular area, but can elevate the mood of someone for the rest of the day.
You could eat from a dogdish with just your bare hands, a knife and fork aren't 'necessary', and is probably slower and therefore less productive, but much of the unnecessary stuff just makes us feel better and makes our lives feel more worth while.

If we have a broader interpretation of 'art', including books, movies, plays, etc, then art's necessity in our lives becomes that much more obvious.

As for the rest of your post, the stuff about ai lolis fucking your asshole or whatever, I sort of glazed over that.

because being sleep deprived lwoers inhibition and makes flow state easier to enter. drawing is 99% feeling so you need be suffering in some way to truly make it.

I'm pretty sure sleep deprivation is correlated with creative thinking, I also notice that my visual imagination is much more stronger when I haven't slept for 15+ hours. It's probably due to your brain being in between being awake and drifting off into sleep or some shit, idk I'm not a scientist, but I do know that shit also wrecks your brain and makes you stupid retarded (t. I spent my teen years constantly sleep deprived and I'm retarded)

I'm retarded. My eyes I mean but mentally sure. I've been wanting to be an artist for many years but always turn away because I am DISabled at chasing my dreams. Imagine wanting to be an artist and your art teacher asks you "why is the sky purple?" and in your head quoping with "You dumb bitch it was an abstract piece!". And I like color too y'know some people believe in God and I believe the grass is either lime green or yellow, I got to choose which crayon looked more, fitting to my niche. Either way my lack of understanding color has subconsciously made me lazy at examining colors properly, understandably so, at the cost of developing premature subconscious color-identifying function: Maroon (is fuckin dark red) Perriwinkle (is light blue) Bronze (is green), etc. Drawing everything in black and white is depressing, I've been a teenager I'm past that I want some color in this bitch, but Prince keeps his Purple Rain brewing a storm in my head. Seriously, what do I need to do to get over this hurdle and study colors effectively. Is anyone else dealing with the same issues? How do you get over the insecurity? I'm Protan color deficient scoring 60% on average in my red cone, 100% in my blue and green so it's not terrible but it's been enough to make me insecure learning art completely.

If you colorblindness is really awful, you can just use reference images as your colourpicking source. It's a shame that you'd be unable to pick the majority of the colours yourself, but that's a good way of ensuring your colours aren't atrociously off.
>>
>>7875615
Which kind of color blindness do you have?
One of my favourite artist has partial color blindness for green and red, but he is still one of the best not only for drawing forms and anatomy, but even for colors too.
I know that for coloring he uses references (probably he color picks).

No. He ended up seeing everything a shade of blue/indigo as UV light is present almost everywhere. If you look at t
his paintings of flowers, you'll often see these splashes of blue around them. That's him literally painting the UV light he saw bouncing off them as flowers are naturally UV reflective to help pollinators like bees see them, he'd see blue auras/blues around objects where UV was strongest. UV is so ubiquitous, where someone would see dark shadows, he'd see the deep blues and indigos of ambient lighting, the natural bounce lighting from the Rayleigh scattering of the atmosphere, became very intense. The sky is essentially a luminescent blanket of blue color because of how the sun's light and UV light scatters throughout the molecules within it. The reason he would see blue and indigo everywhere, is because while our eyes are capable of receiving the information for UV light, we are limited by the cones in our eyes. Our eyes only have 3 cones, and since UV light is an extremely short wave length, our S cones or blue cones will be the ones reacting the most to it, so our brains will perceive it as blue/indigo. I just love monet's case. I find the entire concept of how light interacts with our eyes so fascinating. To quote Monet,

"I see blue, I no longer see red, I no longer see yellow; it annoys me terribly because I know these colors exist."

He ended up wearing corrective glasses that are supposed to replicate our built in UV filter to try to see normally. Although we cherish the paintings that came to be because of his eye problems and subsequent unique perspective. He did not. Just goes to show, we can only create and put into this world, we cannot control how the world reacts to it, so there is no reason other than to be true to yourself.
