I posted this in another thread. But for me the problem with drawing anime heads was not considering them in 3D. https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/anime-head-fe08e8a406764f81863ba4bba629f608For the link above, going to model inspector and turning on wireframe really helped me. You can get a good sense of wth is going on with the nose and situation of the eyes and whatnot. But, yeah like the other anon said, this might not be your problem. If your having trouble drawing faces in general then look at these first:https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/basic-head-structure-f4a7ae95d10c490a9a2428e6243ac06ahttps://sketchfab.com/3d-models/advanced-head-structure-1c4ff17932374d77a6dbfcb9e0834970When you study from photos or anime reference, pull up one of these 3 heads and put it in the same position as the photo. Helps to think in 3D
>>5693845anime heads are super minimal abstractions of very clear 3d features. flat aavatar carton faces, pokemon hair and faces - they all really have built in 3d shapes that they are using to guide the flat line work.if you want o do anime - id suggest - not drawing anime - but looking at it and then looking at real people and hair and features and pick out the 3d features that are used to produce the lines.then, id take some normal pictures and practice turning them into super simple line work that was equally form defining
Where can I learn to draw like this?
The drawing is right there. Study it.Specify every aspect of why you like to look at it, and why you want to replicate it.The first and most important step in all learning (with creative things) is loving something. Accept that you either love or do not love this style. If you love it, that's great. Now you get to study it and find out why you love it. In studying you sill learn.

>>5688288So why doesn't he post any sort of proof of the reference he uses? Like every single other professional artist that "draw from scratch" and use reference material?
The same face syndrome is horrendou on this guy's work I am pretty sure they are all the same 3D model.
>>5688419they also dont know how to add gesture to the drawing. gesture loosens up the pose of the live model.
>>5687643Looks like he’s using a version of this daz model
im gonna spend a year tracing over 3d!

I'm wondering something about my drawing practice routine. I usually do some boxes and circles, reminders of my Drawabox practice, some lines and then I look up images or drawings I like and I do studies, trying to draw them as closely as the original picture while looking at them.I just practice one hour daily, it's the most I can spare right now. Can this be improved or what I'm doing it's fine?I noticed why I try to draw something on my own it doesn't hold up very well, but at least it's a bit better compared of what I did before this routine.
>>5692086>I just practice one hour dailyDo more if possible, one hour daily is nowhere near enough but if that's all the time you can spare right now then I guess there's nothing you can do about it until RL changes things up for you.Remember to also practice drawing inside your head and treat everything as a learning experience, simply by observing your surrounding environment, other people, drawings done by other people is also an essential part of improving as an artist.>I noticed why I try to draw something on my own it doesn't hold up very wellThis will happen a lot for the first 1-2 years for most people, it's good to just draw things you want to draw on the side outside of practicing essential shit like fundies because it keeps your motivation going.Keeping your motivation burning is arguably the most important part of succeeding as a hobbyist artist because a lot of people drops the whole "learning-a-new-skill-as-a-hobby" thing once they feel like they are not enjoying as they used to do so definitely try to keep that in mind.

>>5693652Manuscript paintings were probably done with quill pen tips dipped in paint to get that fine point. Since they started out as doodles made in the corner of papers by young men in monk monasteries while they did the boring task of copying things.>>5693663It is salvageable with real paint like acrylic and very fine tip brushes like ones used for mini figures on tg/You experimented with classic paint and that's very cool. Did you look up what type of paint was used for the time period and place that work came from or similar ones? But you either need to do further research to find what ingredient is missing from your home made paint that made the paint not smudge so badly in the original. Which would mean to give up until you have done further research on historic paint of that era and tested home made paint. You most likely will fail to make a good paint until like the 5th batch or so. Or use acrylic for now to guarantee it looks good. It is up to you. Either focus on the historic authenticity and throw it and make a new better batch of paints, or use acrylic to match the look while not being accurate in what is used to make it. Personally I would just do the acrylic route on a new canvas because it really is better to start with a fresh canvas and you don't even know how well the new paint layer will stick or if it will smudge.
>>5693651no nigger
>>5693701quills being used in paintings is hard to track down, because they often made brushes by putting the bristles into feathersand i doubt they would doodle in anything but black or maybe red because they didnt just turn every pigment they had into inks, they kept the pigments as powder until they mixed it and applied it where it would then dry out after painting, and ink would've been expensive to make for small stuff like doodles (as it required acacia resin) also the ink they used could not be mixed in with other paints so they would have to have a separate black pigment (soot, i used some ground up charcoal leftover from my incense which caused the darker areas to have charcoal grains stuck on the surface of it)the ink they used was slighty transparent when initially applied due to the fact that it wasnt made from a pigment, the ink comes from a reaction of tannic acids and iron, and i have used this ink plenty times enough to know that it doesnt work well with a brushas for the pigments, i just have what they used in general at the time and what they had available, as tracking down the specific pigments used in this particular painting just for a practice painting would be extraneous as for the smudging i cant tell but i think its just the brush not being a fine enough tipalso i dont make batches of paints, and neither did they historically, i keep 4oz jars of pigments which have different qualitieswhen i paint i use my brush to scoop up a bit of old egg white onto a paper plate, and while the brush is wet i dip it into the jar of pigment (which sticks to the brush) and mix it into the egg whitepigment i used for the red is red ochre, lighter tones has barite mixed in, and darker with the ground up charcoal i mentioned earlier (which i need to grind more)the flexibility of the paper also screws up my painting, i use pergemenata which in particular gets warped by moisture, it mimics actual parchment as close as paper can be
>>5693842also note that this is just a practice painting with some extra pergemenata paper i had used previously for experimenting withpic rel is what i do and i need to know how to use pigments in order to properly illuminate my scriptmaking a gospel book, and greek text is the epistles of john
This is a thread to discuss all kinds of digital drawing hardware: non-display graphics tablets, pen display tablets, portable tablets and more.If you have any additional questions, ask them.>Recommended tablets:Intuos 3 - Best screenless tablet. Look for one on Craigslist or Ebay.Intuos 4, 5 & Pro - Also good options. Will burn through your nibs.Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite - Budget portable display tablet. Very solid drawing experience with Wacom EMR tech, but a small 10.4" display area.Used iPad Pro 2nd Gen 12.9" - Best option for a display tablet.Galaxy Tab S7+ - Good premium alternative to an iPad Pro>Avoid:XP-Pen, Huion, Gaomon and every other Chinese brand - Poor build quality, lackluster pens, broken tilt, struggles to register light pressure, horrible customer support and the displays are not calibrated.

>>5672582Imo you could use way less frames to express the same thing. Why are you keeping both characters so alive for the whole thing? Where is the audience supposed to put their attention?

>>5693160Drawing exercises and short gesturesSounds weird, but squeezing out a drawing takes time. Doing a couple small gestures or posing a few torsos until you find one you like enough to keep going can help.
Approximately how much time and care is usually dedicated to planning out the drawing before actually drawing it?
