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.

I'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.

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 :^)

Paying more for extra stuff you don't need is a retard tax
>>
>>8004331

are you willing to pay for one time purchases? if so:

ibispaint: it is unorthodox compared to most art apps with its brush engine but it is actually pretty capable in my opinion, just watch the speedpaints on the ibispaint site if you want to see for yourself. you can pay a single fee to remove ads but premium shit still will be locked behind a subscription but you can do stuff without it.

medibang paletta: not to be confused with medibang pro which is subscription only on mobile. i think medibang pro on mobile is either abandonware or on maintenance mode at this point. it's just medibang slapped with
procreatesque ui with some more functionality over medibang pro.

huashijie pro/画世界Pro: chinese reheated procreate nachos, it is 100% free, well, when it comes to your wallet that is.

sketchbook: extremely dated brush engine but it is the only app that will not lock you out of insane stuff to monetize or nag you with ads. you can pay a small fee to unlock some more features. insane color selection tools though, i don't know why no one has stolen that aspect yet.

infinite painter: closest thing you can get to procreate on android, it helps that android development is prioritized over i(pad)os. iirc it's cheaper if you buy within the first week.

heavypaint: pretty impressionist program. has two versions i don't know which one would fare better for you.

callipeg: not an art app but an animation app that you can naturally draw on. have only messed with the beta apk i found somewhere else, but callipeg is EVERYWHERE. they're even trying to put in on linux, and i hear good things about it.

umoupen: it's not on android yet and people have not decided on if its a virus or not, but it's an animation app that takes inspiration from flash/animate and tvpaint. i have not touched this myself

if you can take the risk i'd just find apks on the internet though. pretty much everything besides clip studio remains available aHR0cHM6Ly9mbWh5Lm5ldC9tb2JpbGUjbW9kZGVkLWFwa3M

Traditional art is becoming rarer and rarer. An actual drawing or an actual painting on canvas is only going to increase in rarity and demand as time passes. Kids aren't drawing. Ai is further reducing the number. Thinkaboutit..

as demand increases that just increases the number of ai frauding. If people won't buy AI slop then the ai art makers will ensure that they can't enjoy good art either. They'll food everywhere and ruin everything out of spite.

Anybody on this board do gamedev? It seems like there really isn't any dedicated space here to discuss it. The skill and workflow requirements of an artist in gamedev are quite different than one doing character comms or comics and so on, so I think its sort of its own subdomain in art.
Any experiences working on jam, team, or solo projects?
Any desire to work on games at some point, either as a hobby or a job?
Why do you think /ic/ doesn't discuss game art much?

oh shit, the v3 jam? They had one before, you can watch the stream for it on their (shadowbanned?) youtube channel. It was pretty comfy, some good entries, but all from codemonkeys, no art. There was some funny thread drama that derailed it for about a week because one of the games was a shitpost that made fun of a thread schizo.

I've stopped browsing /agdg/ because it's awful but I might take part in a jam.

Assuming you have the drive, of course. I couldn't because I'm lazy but it seems reasonable if someone has a teacher giving them tips and really wants to learn even if they're not naturally talented.
I'm asking because people are acting like this was a massive feat in the replies and I don't know much about drawing but the face is straight-on and the staff seems traced off a 3d model.

at a young age, i found animation and comics to be really, really fun mediums for storytelling. It felt fantastic. Live action was boring, in comparison (I still find live action movies okay, they're just not as inspiring as animated works.)
once I got a PC strong enough to just-barely survive 3D software, it became a dream goal to get into the big leagues; primarily getting into major animation studios, like Walt Disney Animation Studios, or Dreamworks Animation.
As my skills improved, and the more I paid attention to how workers were treated within the industry (alongside with WHO got to determine what animations were created on a larger scale), I increasingly became jaded; eventually, I gave up on that dream of getting into the industry, and pursued more personal goals.
Nowadays, I have yet to make anything major (and I have yet to make decent-sized projects), and I just make whatever tickles my fancy at the given moment, usually tiny little animations, unfinished comics, or illustrations.
