Is there a reason to why every anime always uses watercolor instead of oils or acrylics for backgrounds?

traditional gansai is kinda like those shitty dollar store watercolors they give you in elementary school art class - chalky, streaky, not flowing like watercolor, sits on top of paper
in japan, european style watercolor basically means transparent watercolor, in fact that was the old distinction holbein made before marketing came up with european style
contrary to what some think, gum arabic isn't european style, gums of all kinds are used in asian watercolors, including gansai
asian watercolors generally have a heavy glycerin or similar base, sugars, animal glue or what have you because it holds more pigment than gum arabic, which is why korean and japanese watercolors are very bright and chromatic but not popular
old holland watercolor is actually a chinese recipe and shares asian characteristics - low flow, lifts easily and extreme pigment density
lastly, all manufacturers lie constantly, there is literally zero chance some of the pigments holbein offers are at all workable in gum arabic without additives
speaking of lying and gansai, kuretake had a bit of a minor scandal a few years ago because they were labeling it as vegan and then "found out some ingredients weren't vegan" when pressed

Is it even possible to make good art using a screenless tablet?
I got started into digital art very recently and Im using one, but honestly I'm feeling pretty hopeless.
Its not like my trad art is amazing (its shit as well) but when using my tablet i feel completely retarded as if it was my first ever time picking a pen.
I cant do straight lines, i cant do shit.
Is this normal or some people are legitimately unable to learn how to use it? Should I have bought a drawing screen?
Are there any legitimate exercises I can do to get used to it or should I straight up give up?

Im in complete despair right now, fellas.

I started with those huge wacom tablets with a screen because i thought that screenless tablets would be a handicap. Now i hardly use them anymore. The truth is that when you get good with screenless tablet + keyboard shortcut combo, you can draw stuff so much faster that you do not even want to touch the tablets with the screen anymore. It takes time to get used to, but it is definitely worth it.

>you are basically learning to use digital software + using a tablet + getting used to your eye and hand being in different parts

You can get used to it in a month max if you unplug your mouse for and only use the tablet. While figure drawing they say you want to look at the model more than what you're drawing just think of it like that for a while and it's pretty comfy, also if you want to paint- lets be honest you don't need brush stroke accuracy. Even doing line art you can put on a stabilizer or edit your lines.

This may seem like a random question, but is anyone else here obsessed with beginnings? That's to say you very much enjoy starting things but not so much finishing them. Maybe I'm just lazy and unable to commit. Or maybe it's a deep rooted fear of The End.

Anyways, here's my first submission. I call it a Stamp. If you know about my /i/ thread then maybe you've already seen this one, but don't worry cus I'll submit a brand new one soon. I might die if I don't.

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.

I want to make a comic but it seems like my ability to draw comes and goes. One day I'm making some really cool looking sketches, the next day I can barely draw a face. Do I need to use construction?
2 replies omitted. Click here to view.
>>
What you're suffering from is the consequence of not knowing your process of drawing. If you want consistency you have to consciously know what you're doing and put it in your own words like picrel. People often forget that even though art is about drawing pictures we think in words. My face method is specifically for drawing without construction though and really shines with 3/4 or profile views. I'd recommend construction if you're not doing everything in pen like me, It's one of the fundies
for a reason.
If you'd like to change your style up though I'd recommend shopping around for new formulas to create what you'd like to create.

>>7799512
For consistency some people start by making character kits, with different facial expressions for emotions, proportions or height measurements, gags or exaggerated poses, color palettes, vehicles, items or costumes etc, from there some people even make some primitive/basic 3d models and main characters faces that you can pose and use as reference and you can also setup crazy camera perspective or focal length shots
