The general thread for Manga / manga-styled comic-making, manga-style illustration and related comic work. That said, everyone is welcome here.Support each other and talk about your work or the work of others that excites you. Inking, character design, paneling / layout, writing, planning, and other discussions are all welcome.Post resources, questions, in-progress pages, breakdowns of other works, etc. If a work is not yours, credit the maker (unless it's fucking obvious like a full page of One Piece or something).Thanks to everyone for making /mmg/ a level-headed and helpful place. Remember, drawing and making comics and manga are difficult endeavors, and we're all in this struggle together.Previous thread: >>7952113Some resources:/asg/, our stylistic sister-thread series for those focused more on illustration >>>/ic/asgBooks:Understanding Comicshttps://e-hentai.org/g/2042453/83e7da6ed0/Making Comicshttps://annas-archive.org/md5/d55168f7579c1e23275d1fc9f0a2255dComment too long.

>>7971659Part of the charm of anime and manga for me is the silliness, the cartoon-physics, the exaggerated facial expressions. I actually like these early pages a lot more too. I mean, your technical skill has improved, but it has kind of become a meme to say this these days, but you've sort of lost some soul in your work in gaining technical skill.

It's so hard to draw when it's hot..
How popular do you need to be to get 500-1k USD monthly doing art online? Is it viable with just around 3k followers or so on various social media?
>>7970844pywPlease, let me see what 40k sub art looks like
You need to understand how websites like Patreon work. Artist A has 10 paying members and Artist B has 200. They both generate the same income. It's a very common sight. Artist B could be you. You want to be Artist A.
>>7970914I have no interest to earn money frrom my art. I do art because i enjoy it and i draw what i want to draw. If i would do it money, then i would need to draw what other people want and that wouldnt be as enjoyable.
>>7971749I only accepts comms I want to draw myself.t. >>7970934No one forces you to accept comms you don't want to draw. Also clients comm you because they like what you draw. No one is going around asking if a guy who has never drawn whatever kink they have to draw the kink. Instead they pick up artist who already draw their kink and then comm them to draw personalized artwork of that kink.I recommend spending few days to a) figure what you like to draw and b) how to market and brand yourself so that you get the audience you targetting. You rather draw and earn money from drawing what you like than draw and not get paid to do it.
>>7970918I'm making my dream game and art and I never had more fun.You can do both if you you like both enough... Granted it too 3 years to get good enough at drawing to start.
Whenever I go to this board. I see Loomis, Vilppu, Hampton, and Bridgman. But rarely Hogarth. Is Hogarth really that underwhelming compared to the other anatomy/figure drawing artists?
>>7970351its not a beg book and most of /ic/ are perma beg no draws so they dont know how to use the book as a tool,
>>7970351his anatomy is very stylized but early in his tarzan career he aped Hal Foster so well that even foster claimed couldnt tell the difference. Dynamic figure drawing is absolutely filled withe useful information for figure invention
>>7970351People don't want something that's exaggerated to illustrate a point which they have to reinterpret into their own work. They want a 123 guide to teach them exactly what to do
>>7971756They need to 1. lie down and 2. stay quiet as I 3. kick them in the head.
>>79717561. Look up Bridgeman2. Copy Bridgeman3. Repeat
/lwad/#2Previous: >>7849114I've obtained a prescription for (generic) Adderall and wanted to experiment on how it affected learning to draw. I opened this thread to document my progress and for everyone else's observation / amusement.My goal with this thread is to simply take an Adderall and draw for at least a couple hours a day and post the results. Realistically I may miss some days. The hope is to keep these threads ongoing until I'm either satisfied with the progress documented, or I crash out.Probable Questions:>Why?Whether or not medicating has a significant effects on learning, if it only has a partial effect on some related disciplines that go into drawing, or it arguably had no major effect at all, I want this thread to feed into any discussion as a case example. I also chose /ic/ since I know this board doesn't pull back punches.>Are you actually diagnosed with ADD / ADHD?Yes, ADD. I believe inattentive. Been diagnosed since 2003 but never treated long-term.>How old are you?31.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Just a sketch today, have to sleep early.Tried to find a specific reference for a stance and the closest thing I got was a a low res photo by some dude who does salts in the Arizona desert for his Christianity blog.
Probably doing the background tomorrow.Bro is looking at the fairy. NOT the sexy lady. I swear.
Not much today. I accidentally made this dude look gormless, but it made me smile so I stuck with it.
Body hurts syndrome today. Cubes.
Hair practice and a figure.I think I figured out what's wrong with me trying to connect the hips and torso, I'm trying to put two things together I should think of it was one thing.Gomen for the lighting.

>>7971206what if i told you, animators and illustrators work together. and his "generic anime style" is basically laying a foundation for you to create your own. you copy the master then build yourself

Reference thread, try not to masturbate too much to the subjects.Old:>>7897371With male models:>>7903835
I just want dark skin gyaru JK yariman bitch panchira pose book. Is that too much to ask? You’d think AIKA, Kaho Imai, Fujimoto Shion, etc. would have made one. But noope.
Does anyone have refs of slender/thin males? Like the average anime guy? The problem is with most male refs they still look too masculine for the anime guy physique. Whether it's from you guys' collections or links to paid sets I don't mind, thank you in advance.
Where are you xml anon? I miss you so much!
>>7970966xml?
>>7971679not xml, jxl. sorry guys, i m a dev in burnout
>put down $600 for voice acting and sound design>post animation on youtube>???>profitHow exactly does this happen? I'm learning the skills to animate but I don't understand the pipeline. Do you earn your money back only through advertisement? Is there no other way?
>>7970253Why should I help an online stranger make youtube money lol?And don’t you have friends? Ask them to voice things.
>>7970303>Ask them to voice things.You forget the part where they have to be good
>>7970253>Why would you spend money with VA? Just animate a few Youtube shorts till you unlock monetization, then start making MVs and open up a patreon or kickstart plushies of your OCs.You should look at what other Youtubers are doing so you can be inspired by business models that actually work instead of wasting your time with artists that don`t make any money on /ic/Most artists suck at making money because they`re not creative entrepreneurs.P.S. NSFW animation is a lot more lucrative than SFW, like it`s not even close, we are talking about going from a few hundred dollars (SFW) per month to a few hundred thousand dollars per year (NSFW)

Why does Reddit give bad advice to beginners?
>>7971387Easy fix. Stop crying already.
its midwit central
updoots mean they post advice that feels good rather than advice that is actually useful
>>7971387They don't give bad advice just because they told you to draw boxes and spheres in perspective

>>7971568i guess thats what im worrying about, im only doing the required homeworks and nothing else and it makes me worry that once the course is done in 3 months if ill even have made much progress

Drew an apple, opinions?
There's already a thread dedicated to beglets, you should have posted it there. It's horrible btw. Welcome to /ic/.
it’s really cute.but yeah, next time try posting future things in the /beg-int/ general thread, pl0x.welcome, new [also cute] artist
Are you black?
>>7971526 here btw,>just saw this again and thought if you’re also new to navigating this site, i’ll drop you a link over there:>>7969989good luck, anon ^_^
>>7971565are you like white? or cockasian or something?
Would Gabe art improve slighty if he stopped trying to draw faux-anime and instead he embraced more western cartoony styles? I noticed that Ferfou or his less anime furry characters outside of his green cat don't look as generic/boring as his normal human OCs
>>7971385His art looks good and he’s getting 10k likes on twatter, why the obsession with trying to “improve” him?
fuck off gabe
If everyone was required to post their work before saying a single bad word about another artist things would get really interesting around here.
>>7971398Is that true? If so, I'm happy for him. I've seen his art before and genuinely found it really cute. Don't get the hate
>>7971550he gets strong reactions because there's an autistic authenticity to whatever he makeshis sense of perspective/form was weak so it was easy to bully him, but I think it was just an excuse for the former
