>>8076789hold on where should i start
>>8077268Tbh I'm not that familiar with the visual novels or the manga, despite reading a little of both. I only watched the anime and OVAs (Which I recommend). But I think you can just search the read order online and you'll figure it out.
>>8077367thx
https://youtu.be/_NAYAxOpfgs?si=xkTcfHCnpqy9NWhgWait a minute, how did this nigga learn to draw this good? Where did he find the time between playing basketball, writing a rap song, and robbing a convenience store? I've been drawing for nearly 2 decades and I'm nowhere near this good.

Artist Only. No spamming OC/infodumps for multiple threads without delivering.5: Be sure to thank Drawfrens for their hard work as soon as you can, it's just common courtesy :^)Previous thread: >>7989408
You know her already. Decided to add her a nice character card as well as redesihning her two loyal celtic ghost people from Ireland and Scotland; Liam and Fiona, respectively. She is the deuteragonist (maybe) of my story. Good gals with Clémence and the main character. She is part of the 4 rails team and she pilots a flying train, because, why not. She has a copy of a magical sword, the Durandal although modernozed and a modified Famas rifle.>>8072686Sorry for taking too long answering, these days were horrible. Glad you liked it, looks like an Eva unit for me. Cool robo. If you want, you can try your luck with Marchelle and her ghost duo or my other OCs, here.>>8058308>>8057523

I took a long break from drawing (around 1–2 months) and came back to it today. Ive noticed that my drawing ability hasn't regressed, since I mostly did observational drawing before. (Ill admit that I'm much better at copying drawn objects and things than drawing from life) So, I'd say my strongest skill is copying.On the topic of 3D space, what's an alternative to Drawabox? I took that course around January this year, but I didn't feel like the lessons were sticking with me, so I quit due to a lack of improvement. It's not that I got tired of it. One of my goals is to be able to draw like the OPs image
>>8069208I don't want to tear you down but your copies are good but not quite there, if you're nearing proficiency with copying by eye then a simple drawing like this would take 10 minutes or so
>>8070241If you dont mind, Id like to see the process you go through when copying a drawing. I know it might sound tedious, but id really benefit from seeing your process if you dont mind sharing it.
>>8070241>10 minslame ass shitposter lmao
>>8069409this
>>8070331nta but here's what I like to do:>meaningful tracing (break down the reference into simple shapes) followed by drawing from memory>flip the reference and make an upside down copy>blind contour (draw while only looking at the reference)>spend 30 seconds looking at the reference, then draw from memory (hide the ref), then take out the ref and make a copy, repeat and compare resultsDAB is really bad for getting the hang of 3D space because it forgets that most beginners tend to suck at thinking in 3D to start with. If you want to develop your 3D thinking skills, you need to do things that force you to do so:>play video games>make simple forms and sculptures with plasticine clay>play a ball sport>ride a bike
Hard Round brush thread please I need this. Especially if you anything saved with cooler tones and colors.

>>8080517Gonna be real, I am pretty hungry atm.
i was thinking about adding lore to each submission, but eh. i'm quite excited to see how the colors are gonna turn out on this though
>>8081093I love reading the shitty OC lore of dads, so please do. And I mean this completely unironically. It's probably also good for your motivation if you're invested, and also it helps come up with novel situations and things to draw.
Dunning-kruger coming through.>>8081093Neat.
>learn fundamentals and draw realism using Western books like Keys to Drawing, Science of Drawing, Perspective Made Easy, Loomis, Vilppu, Rendering by Scott, Color Theory etc. etc.>copy your favorite artists using manga and anime artbooks>really deconstruct their art and understand what is happening, form, proportions, lines, shading, expressions etc.>check your progress by drawing without reference and making your own original anime art>supplement your studies with Japanese How-To books from E-Hentai or the /asg/ github>remember these books don‘t teach you how to draw anime but they teach you how to draw in the style of the How-To books, so only pick one that you like and fits your own goal of what you want your anime drawings to look lineThis is what I have gathered from reading DOZENS of archived /ic/ threads on how you actually learn anime. It‘s so difficult because everyone is advising something different.Feel free to critique my roadmap or add to it.
>>8075798Copy your favorite Japanese works.Do master copies from memory(even old Western masters did this)???Profit
>>8075881>>8075869>>8075798>>8076200I feel what a lot of people are missing from the "how to draw anime" discussion is that all anime is rooted in Tezuka's work, which was a combination of Disney cartoons, cinematic paneling borrowed from Western movies, and comic strips. Every big mangaka who came immediately after Tezuka copied his art, and their successors collectively copied their art while taking in new influences from Europe. Tezuka also made the "first" anime! Anime cannot be divorced from animation either.If you want to get better at drawing anime...study Disney cartoons and comics. Animate! Copy your favorite manga art. This is how all mangaka do it.
>>8076389>Disney cartoons, cinematic paneling borrowed from Western movies, and comic strips>If you want to get better at drawing anime...study Disney cartoons and comics.WE WUZ KANGZ!!!
>>8075798>>learn fundamentals and draw realism using Western books like Keys to Drawing, Science of Drawing, Perspective Made Easy, Loomis, Vilppu, Rendering by Scott, Color Theory etc. etc.no japanese artist does this btw
>>8076902What's with the western obsession of trying to find clever ways to sidestep doing the actual thing they supposedly want to do? It should sound absurd on the face of it.>>8075798>This is what I have gathered from reading DOZENS of archived /ic/ threads on how you actually learn animeYou almost never see anything even approaching the ballpark of proper Japanese anime made by posters of /ic/. Really makes you think...
seeing this tweet really pissed me off because the drawing is so ugly but somehoe has way more SOVL than my art ever will i really dont understand how they did that
>>8076342i honestly think noobs should spend as much time as they want on their first few drawings in general, not just gesture. do it a billion times if you have to. get it right, see it through
>>8076327this is actually pretty good for an inexperienced drawing. They're able to see the important curves and forms of a body. They also kept everything proportional. That alone puts them in the top 90th percentile.
What the fuck are you rambling about? You sound like an absolute fucking retard. Just draw.
>>8076334And what they're going to respond here?
>>8076420why are you even on this board if such a simple comment pisses you off this much? pyw and go draw
Lmao
I think it's the paper's fault

>>8076651full frontal is hard to draw well. Even photography makes you look like a criminal.
How do I improve
kozeki?
By drawing something other than featureless mannequins fighting.
Work on your wonky head size (also drawing skulls from imagination is a good exercise), study the skeleton for landmarks and fitting your shapes better, develop your figures with tone and anatomy.Pick your poison:https://online-courses.club/nma-art-dynamic-gesture-drawing-by-glenn-vilppu/https://archive.org/download/nma-figure-drawing-with-karl-gnasshttps://online-courses.club/visualarium-artistic-anatomy-with-rey-bustos/
Also check out hogarth just cuz it's aesthetic and dimensional as fuck. See if the constructions and how he uses tone and contour inspires you in your forms.
>art course costs a month of salaryWhy is life so unfair towards turd worlders?
Honestly, aren't these courses waste of time in general?I watched some of them, like Krenz, Tuna and such, and it's awful to follow, and you barely learn anything.
>>8075331they can and will laugh at everything, since they move outside of society. They take and get nothing out of it and are basically inconsequential hermits who may as well not exist. They need no body.
>>8076138So how do you improve instead?
>>8074676>>8074712>>8076183Most courses, if not all, just parrot the same crap they took from other courses/books. Very rarely they offer valuable information not found elsewhere, and eitherway, a lot of what they teach is a waste of time that won't improve your skill.Learning to draw is not something you can scientifically teach, with rigid lessons, and chapters, and drills, it's an organic journey, and everyone else's is different.And the ultimate truth, is that true learning doesn't come from following a cold curriculum like all these coursefags would have you believe, that's just a trap to take your money.Go and draw whatever the fuck it is you want to draw. Don't fall for the trap of needing to get good before you do, start now, draw anime tits or whatever the fuck, and when you finish, THEN you think about what went wrong, and go study that specific subject. And you can do these studies simply with just some quick youtube searches, or skim one of thousands of free pdf resources in the threads here. Hell, just find photos on pinterest and use those to study and learn. Then go back to drawing anime tits, rinse and repeat. That's the only technique you'll ever need, but coursefags won't teach it because then they'd run out of shit to sell you.
>>8076154>confused sigma males with some loser outcastssome of them don't participate in the society, but it's the minority of sigma males
Accurate colors implies the artist was aiming, but this isn't aiming it's using an aimbot. Do people not want to be able to reach a specific color on their own? How is this skillful and how is this not color tracing? All of this guy's art is colored this way, imagine relying on the eye dropper tool this heavily. You won't be able to color without training wheels on and your original art will show. That's why this artist has little to no original art, it's all fanarthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI0rPZ9yxT8
Why are the dragons fucking? Why are you watching speed paints of dragons fucking?
How does one achieve this level of rendering and coloring? Books? Courses? References?
>>8070512Sonic fanartists usually range from the next Mona Lisa, to Chris Chan levels of art.There's usually no inbetween.
>>8074684No, I think I see it too.
>>8075407why are the power levels of a good number of sonic and splatoon artists well over 1000. i’ve definitely noticed this phenomenon too, and i kind of love it.>>8074735the stuff that goes into this piece is so massive all we can do is say trite little text blurbs in forum format. they’re literally using all of the possible component skills relevant to illustration leveled to /adv/ mastery here. some people can just rawdog this sort of thing naturally from masses of experience. i used to interactive draw with someone who could, on a very minimal drawing program. she was never not drawing. basically you want color theory books and books on how to render forms in space that goes into the advanced stuff. i have a hard time finding good materials, too op. i haven’t found anything that covers what your artist does.
>>8071711you hold your pencil and actually draw instead of looking at instagram artists all day
>>8071711this here is mostly time dumping - and it works well for academic art, too!
I want to get into drawing, i am considering using a ballpoint pen and a notebook, the reason being that i don't want to invest in specialized tools on a hobby i may drop, i am pretty bad at drawing, any idea how i can start?
>>8069727Cause it looks good?
Use cheap stuff for rough design work. Use good paper for refining designs.Compose all elements onto Bristol board.
>>8069530https://youtube.com/watch?v=ewHVHPGS_LU
>>8073037based
>>8069530depends on how you want to draw. personally, some of my favorite drawings i have have been with a ball point pen and scratch paper. i just copy stuff from books or pictures and assume i'm passively learning how to draw.
