You need to set it on 'automatic' for your brush under "speed and quality", which is under anti-aliasing in your brush's settings for some reason. It's noticeably better, at least for me on my mid-range PC.

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.

First successful (doesn't look like a child's drawing) copy study. It's far from perfect, but I'm still very proud of it.

the composition/background doesn't matter to these "figurative" artists. that's the problem with the movement. the name they have given themselves defines the works. a lot of the times the poses are exactly as you'd find in life drawing sessions. the backgrounds, if there is one, is often painted with a lot less care because they never bothered to learn anything aside from the human figure.

gouache is a fake non-medium, you need to look at the actual composition to know what you're dealing with
dextrin gouache behaves nothing like gum arabic gouache, which again will act widely different based on extenders, fillers, opacifier etc
>>

>gouache is a fake non-medium
I can see that now, wasn't experienced enough back in the days, to notice.
I use mostly Horadam and Holbein. Horadam behaves more like regular watercolor. I have a W&N white, thats very strange. It's like a gel, very unpleasant to work with.

for earth pigments in oil just buy the paint.
it makes more sense for egg tempera, for historical methods, or for pigments that are not common/stable in tube paint.
>>7889757
as fresh paint rests, the particles become more efficiently coated in the oil, leaving you with paint that seems more oily than it was at first. you can then add a bit more pigment.
>>

>as fresh paint rests, the particles become more efficiently coated in the oil, leaving you with paint that seems more oily than it was at first. you can then add a bit more pigment
That happens with some pigments. Ultramarine is a good example for that. You mix a paste, let it stand for a couple of hours and its liquid again, so you need to add more pigment.
I think its a different effect, though, it gets liquid after a while, but if you mill it again without adding more pigment, it gets stiff again.
>>
>>7897159
erbium oxide does the opposite. It seems to harden in the tube quickly.

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.

Because that's how just about every beginner artist starts out, thinking drawing is just eyeballing the lines and xerox machine printing everything in one go. It's when they're introduced to fundies and building things out of basic shapes they start to develop a better workflow. That is unless you're this guy who still doesn't have a clue what the construction lines he's shitting on the canvas are meant for. Probably because he's more focused on churning out content for his YT channel than figuring out what's wrong with his drawing.
>>
>>7897721
>>7897669
He should be focusing on getting his proportions accurate with simple lines that denote the brow ridge/eye-line/bottom of nose/mouth. Only AFTER your proportions are consistently accurate should you be even considering placing features on them.

But yea, he's probably just interested in churning out content than analyzing how to learn better.
>>
>>7897721
well even eyeballing copying he should be getting much closer. I have no clue if hes trying to copy or do his own thing since hes so off on everything. not one line is even remotely close on the examples provided itt

NTA but making manga is extremely hard. It's very tedious and complex in general. I also started a story but stopped at page 6, wrote a bunch of shortstories, etc, but it's just so much shit you have to draw.

>>7897429
>It's not about "imagine being intruded on the opposite sex", it's "imagine being intruded on by MEN"
The original comic (if I recall correctly) is the same, except they drew the men looking sad or disgusted when receiving the compliments.The point the edit is making is that men would be very happy to be in the reverse situation.
And no, men wouldn't be uncomfortable receiving compliments from other men - maybe if you ever did something deserving of a compliment, you'd realise it's not so bad (it's pretty great, actually).

>"b-b-but it's intruding on -"
We don't live our lives no interaction with each other, we're always going to be intruding on each others lives. A simple hello from someone passing by on the street can be seen as someone 'intruding' on the other person... and thinking so would also make you a massive whiny pussy.
Acting as if some flirtatious compliments are as bad as stalking or sexual assault, or anything above benign, should open you up to being wildly ridiculed for being such a sensitive moron.

https://www.youtube.com/@TheArtMentor

I used to do freelance graphic design and I didn't need a fucking social media following to get clients. If you want to get paid, why are you giving away your work for free?

Freelance websites (e.g. Upwork)

Referrals (if you deliver within a deadline you are ahead of 90%+ of freelancers and clients will recommend you)

You just need a portfolio which you can make as PDF. Watch the channel I linked, I'm sure he has several videos on this exact topic.

>you probably need to start cheap as you build a following
That's true, but only relative to your skill level to a certain extent. If you're some near industry level pro, I would say 80 dollars would be good starting out and if you're some guy /int/ or barely /int/ level, then 30-40 would be a good starting point. Like that famous Sweden tuber that people started sperging out about when he learned to draw in a few months, he can sell his artwork for hundreds to thousands just because his name is attached to it.
