Why You Should Copy Anime:

**Strive for quantity AND quality.**

Anime Studying:
>Copy anime references exactly and draw them from memory. Use illustrations, screenshots, anime figures, 3D models, etc.
>Don’t copy recklessly. Use construction, color theory, and other fundamental concepts to rehearse a drawing process that you can later easily manipulate for original artwork.
>Post all of your anime studies. Post even when you’re told not to. Create an art community that actually draws and improves together instead of just talking about it.
>Number your attempts and link to your previous posts.
>Critiquers should lead by example by posting their studies.

General dedicated to posting and discussing art of either:
1. Manmade objects, vehicles, tool, weapons etc. (of any kind and any historical era, as long as they fall in the ballpark of "technology") and fictional derivatives of such
2. Objects,vehicles, creatures etc. that aesthetically fall into the visual space of mecha/robot/artificial/cybernetics etc. regardless of level of realism.
Helpful to mention the level of realism, if any, you are taking into account in the art.
Old general resoruces (hopefully these ones aren't empty):

A thread for recommending and sharing brushes/digital art assets.

>Publicly editable rentry for CSP assets. Feel free to contribute brushes you have purchased. Assets that have been deleted from the store are also welcome to be uploaded here.
https://rentry.org/CSP_materials

>CSP assets store wishlist
https://rentry.org/Brush_Wishlist

>"What brush does this artist use?" / "What brush looks like this?"
1.)Search "brush (from:artisthandle)" or "assets.clip-studio.com (from:artisthandle)" on twitter if that's where they post mainly. Make sure to set it to the Latest tab to see the artist's tweets. Or use Nitter.
2.)Search brush posts on their Pixiv Fanboxes/Booth/Patreon. Then try to see if it's on kemono or archives.
3.)If none of the searches work, then ask here.

>"My CSP is cracked so I can't use the asset store"
As long as you log into the asset store it works even on cracked copies.

Doodling is very important as an artist, it helps you with brain storming ideas, puts away the pressure that finishing pieces sometimes entails and it's overall a fun way to relax while drawing.

Post your doodles, low effort studies, early WIPs. Doesnt matter if you think they are bad or just not good enough, if you had fun while drawing it, it's a good doodle.

>why
People want validation for their own more more than copies of other people's work this is obvious


the real thing you should tell OCfags is

toucan henry is a shit character, it's a shit design, a shit concept, with poor execution for reason xyz you need to practice a thousand times before you create anything people will care about and once you've struck a visual cord you actually have to follow through and characterize and create a reason for them to get invested. Alan becker literally drew a stickman and called him the chosen one and was so creative that people became invested. If no one likes your OC, try again and put more effort into it. No one owes you views or likes. Make something cool and earn it.

People on shitter only care about tits and memes, I know this because I've been on both sides of the fence, I've experienced this personally. You're exactly the type of idiot I was referring to with defending the slop that is status quo pushed by algorithms.

Yep. It happemed. Officially at the point where AI is indistinguishable from "real" art.

It's not that deep.
Art is subjective so you can get somewhat passable/interesting results even if horribly imperfect. It happens to be that a lot of slop is out there from people trying to gain views and appeal to corporate jobs, so the AI art reflects that sterile nature.

For code, it's somewhat similar. There's a bajillion ways to do a thing, and if it doesn't work its' likely not going to work at all. The promise of AI is that it can "unify" code from various disparate contributors such that it's not a nightmare to debug, adjust, and extend things. Of course it's not reaaaally there yet, but you have to consider this shit is something that even braindead pajeets can do for sub-minimum wage (as long as it's java).

Other industries are experimenting with it. One of the first was NASA using AI to design a better antenna back in like 2011. There's some boutique bike parts company that uses AI to design things like strong+light crank arms. But you don't see a whole lot of this because engineering is all about riding the line where something "just barely works." AI design isn't consistent enough to be worth the hours of doublechecking all the measurements and testing it to ensure that it's within the design spec and won't accidentally kill someone.
Or to put it another way: In more practical industries, it saves time on design, but rapidly increases QA costs to make it not worth it in most cases.

The 3rd Comics and Random Art Battles (/crab/ 3) tournament will decide (once more) the fate of the multiverse.
Original characters from multiple universes will be kidnapped by me, the Gamemaster, put into teams and take part in many extreme challenges to obtain a single Wish, whatever it may be!

Is your crab up to it?

Stage 0

>Crab abduction (Done....kinda)

>Election of headliners <=======You are here

To distribute popularity/avoid star-studded teams, a complete list of crabs will be published and each crab will be voted on by popularity or (you)s. The characters with the most votes will be the starters of each team, not the captains. The rest of the team members will be hand picked by the Gamemaster. Here, whether the votes are anonymous or not does not matter. Each poster can vote up to two characters for Headliners.

>Team building
Hand picked by me

Most art "communities" are too full of orbiters and people walking on eggshells. People from these places sometimes come here, but they either drag the same worldview that led to said stagnation or let out what they were bottling up in such shitty places.
