If you're looking for a place to post your cartooning then you've found the right general. This is /ic/s 1st and only merged hub where both Eastern and Western stylization can coexist peacefully, hence the double title.

Thoughts on this uncommon design choice?
Imo it could potentially look better than the standard line mouths generic anime go for but very few people are capable of executing it well without looking ugly or too cartoonish from what I've noticed, with Rizdraws notably being one of those exceptions

I've made the mistake of learning how to draw through monkey laddering my symbol drawing skills just doing stuff my way without properly studying anything outside the first chapters of various beginner books and early drawabox, for this reason my drawings are ultra wonky, flat and stiff alongside having almost no draftmanship and an ugly style to them.
Not to mention that taking months of pause often and barely drawing 3-4 hours per week if not less on average in the spawn of 5-6 years has made me notice that I'm possibly even less than beginner level in terms of overall experience. My internet addiction and mild autism ruined all the chances I had during this timeframe.

My question is: if this time I want to actually take art seriously for my own reasons but I just hate how my art looks like to the core, is it worth it to restart everything from scratch with life drawing, master studies and basic fundamentals first, and then tackle personal artworks and anime art styles again later down the run once I'm confident enough with the former? I know restarting from 0 after all this time isn't exactly ideal, but my core drawing process is just rotten and this time I just want to become an advanced/pro level artist without being hugboxed in places outside of this board.

I'm 23 years old now and my first core goals before I turn 25 are being able to just make my art look organic and energetic, learn how to draw faces and hands that are appealing and don't suck ass, improve my figure drawing abilities and anatomy knowledge by an huge margin and learn how to color decently and make competent digital full drawing, but before all of that it's better I actually learn perspective and basic 3d forms alongside possibly life drawing and master studies before tackling anything else really. Is any method good as long as I'm learning, getting better and follow the chosen resources well enough? I don't even care as long as I just draw everyday and upgrade my craft.

This. You need at least 5 years of drawing in dysgenic western styles as preparation.

>anime art styles again
You never did an anime art style. You likely do not know what makes anime different from your art after all this time of drawing. Full detox from cartoons and tumblr and learning Japanese might be the only option for you now but you won't do it.

>>7471245
why? 30 is a good time to concentrate or start art.
early adult life is hectic, there is university, entering work life and people expect you to be social. at 30 you can just peacefully clock in and out at work then draw in your free time with no pressure that perhaps you should study more or that you are not going to make it or dumb stuff like that.

I didnt socialize much either. If you are unemployed just get a shitty day job then draw in your free time.

>>7471487
personally I find just starting with tutorials mind numbing and boring.
pic something you want to draw and draw it.
its going to suck ass. look up some tutorials for the stuff you care about in the image (so you can skip hands in favor of faces or tits at the start).
try to directly fix your shitty drawing with the knowledge you gained from the quick tutorial. And by tutorial I mean a simple guide and max a few example sketches not a huge course.
Then rinse and repeat.

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):

>New here? Please read best practices.

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 6-7 before starting a new one.
