I want to learn how to paint impressionism. How do I learn how to paint impressionism?

I want to learn it as well, who's gonna teach us?

1: Post a brief backstory if your OC has one.

2: Character design critique and discussion is welcome.

3: Keep it fairly SFW. Lewds are fine but no explicit porn.

4: This is NOT a request thread. 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 :^)

I bought some simple pencils and paper a week ago. And then I started researching what books I should buy if I want to learn how to draw. It‘s been A WEEK and all I did was RESEARCH. I have not drawn a second.

There are dozens of beginner how to draw books. Everyone is shilling something else. Then there are dozens of books on gesture drawing, figures, faces, perspective etc. What do I pick here?

Okay, my goal is to draw anime illustrations, lame I know. But again. In the anime study general there are like 60 pages of Japanese drawing books. Should I really translate and study them? Then you also have 30K anime artbooks on e-hentai referenced in the artbook thread. I looked through /ic/ archive and everyone is saying something different about learning anime style. My head is spinning. I don‘t know which advice, books, resources to actually follow.

And then there is a big hole for resources in between. What about coloring your anime girls? Shading? What is even „rendering“? CSP guide? What kind of brush do I need for what?

Fuck I just want to learn how to draw and then just draw a lot. Help

These are the books that are currently helping me:

Figure Drawing Design and Invention for gesture and anatomy and other minor subjects like construction, clothes, design

Freehand Figure Drawing for Illustrators for construction of a mannequin

Framed Perspective volumes 1 and 2 for perspective

Burne Hogarth's Dynamic Figure Drawing for how the figure operates

Framed Ink for composition

Morpho Simplified Forms and Morpho Clothes and Folds for further detail into how anatomy and clothes can be constructed

Rendering in Pen and Ink

You suffer from analysis paralysis.
The secret to learning to draw (and I am very specific about the word draw - not painting, not art in general) is that most people are not "taught" how to draw, and cannot be. Rather, you have to discover how to draw. You have to be a bit of an autodidact. You have to be willing to experiment over and over again, i.e. practice. Because drawing is ultimately about developing your own process that gives you results reliably. It's the space between your mind and a blank page, and no one else can really get in there. Some books can certainly point you in the right direction, but ultimately you still have to convince yourself that it works. When it doesn't, people blame the book/teacher.
There are some basic things you can learn that are collectively known as "the fundamentals", but I bet you already know which books to get for that. The fundamentals is actually a relatively small subject compared to other fields of study. You'd never know it based on how much bloviating we do here, but that's just to make us feel what we do is important or serious. But it's all mark making, and a few geometric rules and tricks. Certainly not worthy of dedicating entire websites to, especially not a paid one.
What you actually need to spend more time on, after learning the fundamentals, is understanding the subject you want to draw. Figure books don't really teach you to draw, they teach you some shorthand about anatomy. If you want to draw sci-fi mechs, then some engineering experience, or even having just worked on a car before, will be infinitely more valuable than downloading another book. If you want to draw anime style, watch and study anime.
You don't necessarily need a book on anime style. You need a grounding in the fundamentals so that you know what to pay attention to, so that you can translate to paper what you've visually absorbed.

I took an IQ test a while ago and got a score of 87. Is that too low to ever become a good artist? I love looking at art and would love the ability to draw art but I'm afraid of being too stupid to grasp or understand things and never becoming good.

But whenever i try something i get raped and stop it after trying only for like a single week because i am not sure if i am doing this in right way(correct thought process) and i think i will never make it.
My willpowet is so weak weaker than some furry fag artchads who at least had balls to practice while they weren't sure and could just enjoy.
I think maybe getting an art tutor will teach me the thought process of art.

examples of western and non Japanese moe

I have a hard time understanding what moe is, beyond being 'cute'.
Like is Deedee from Dexter's lab moe? What about Frankie from Foster's home?
If they are, then aren't most cartoon characters moe?
>>
>>8080134
moe is the feeling of wanting to protect the person, the feeling you get towards your children and wife, a puppy, there needs to be some kind of vulnerability for a character to feel moe
>>
>>8080134
Moe is derived from the pity reflex. The character must be not just cute, but innocent and helpless to the point of absurdity. Like watching a puppy hop around on the edge of a cliff. It must be impossibly naive and constantly threatening to destroy itself in some way.

Western moe is actually characters like Leeloo from the Fifth Element, or Knives Chao from Scott Pilgrim. Zooey Daeschenel characters are moe.

You think you do but you don’t. All of the software like photoshop and clip studio had way less features and were harder to use. All of the best digital artists back then got good via trad art before moving to digital. Also, this digital art shit only became uber popular in 2015 after a post about how Sakimichan’s patreon income was $10k a month went viral. If you weren’t drawing since childhood then you probably wouldn’t even be here if not for the influx of interest after that event.

The same thing also happened with software development around 2010 where it became common knowledge that Twitter and Facebook and Google programmers were making 6 figures so a lot of people decide to change careers to software dev.

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. Be smart, keep discussion 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.
