>>8021889I mean yes you’ll get better but you’ll take a much longer time. Daily commitment is key
>>8021701Just be patient. Getting good at art takes time
>>8021701Yeah, in the sense that you do anything better when you’re relaxed. But drawing imo has more in common with mental skills like math than physical skills like sports. Being “locked in”, having good days and bad days, etc, those things don’t matter quite as much; drawing is more about relying on your accumulated store of knowledge than it is about physical performance. Once you have the knowledge and experience, you’ll draw well. And if you don’t have the knowledge, you can’t really fake it.
how big 30 sec gesture drawings should be? I can only manage to make 2-inch figures, should I go bigger?
>>8022593It really doesn’t matter, but try to err on the side of bigger since most /beg/s have a problem with drawing too small
ITT pencils only you like
>>8013315be careful not to poke your fingers
>>8012953These were fine art books about drawing landscapes, portraits, still lifes etc.>The hardness between brands is different anyway - the HB of one can be B of anotherYes, but that difference is so small it doesn't matter in practice.>it seems to me each book is suggesting a range, allowing you to experience the various gradesAnd that's exactly what I think is an unnecessary distraction for begs and prebegs. They shouldn't be worried about what grade to use at all. Just pick a grade and stick with only that until they reach intermediate level.I was replying to these posts>>7968187>i never understand the mentality of peple buying expensive materials without knowing how to draw>>7968280>For day one prebegs who don’t know anything about drawing, it’s common to think that there’s a strong correlation between the quality of your materials and the quality of your art. They draw a simple line and it looks like shit, but they watch a streamer on youtube draw one line and it looks great, so they assume that the difference must be that the streamer has more expensive tools. So they splurge on everything they canExplicitly telling prebegs and begs that they only need HB pencil allows them to focus completely on technique. This is an example of how good you should be with technique before worrying about trying different grades of graphite:Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>8019611u sure
>>8022440Am I sure that this is my opinion based on my experiences? Yes.
>>8022440If you're legitimately trying to follow an art school or atelier approach youll need a range of tools, but most people here are learning anime or cartoons in little sketch books and an HB is fine
Which is your opinion on using photobashing instead of traditional sketching?
>>8015375>>8015478No rules just tools but if you're retarded like Cris-chan no amount of tools are going to help you
>>8015478Looks like a character from Little Goody Two Shoes.
>>8015478Not a poopjeet but isn't this just manually doing what AI does but with somehow worse results?
Seems lame as fuck. Have you thought about drawing? Everytime I see a digital nigger doing some retarded shit like this I laugh. I don't care if I draw slower and have less finished pieces. Everytime I've tried digital I feel moloch's hand helping guide mine
>>8015951>>8015589Your stuff is kinda cool thoughbeit
I've posted a few of my comic strips on here before
Better than most webcomics, but does this say much?
>>8016028>but does this say much?I'm not exactly sure what you're asking here.
i like it
How do you pick a name to represent your work as someone who was an anonymous loner type figure for all of their internet career?In the modern day everything is going to be tied back to your first public appearance with your art so you need to make a good choice from the outset.
>>8019830Reddit tier objection. Changing a name has much more consequences for an artist especially if you want to be public with it.
>>8019694i just use my real name + a demon name
>>8019694Rearrange the letters of your name and add an X to it
>>8019694Go with a Japanese artist type name which is extra anonymous. Like user___052246544.
>>8019694Summon a demon and have them suggest the most fitting one for you (they are able to look through all of your 12 d[i/e]m[e/o]nsions and therefore have more knowledge about you than yourself)
if this artist can make incredible progress simply by drawing his favorite girl over and over again, what's stopping you?
Why is /ic/ so obsessed with this image/guy? The exact same thread gets remade as soon as the last one dies. Surely there's some other progress image to rag on? Feels like whoever keeps making this thread has some petty envy against this one guy in particular
>>8022489There's a moron with a vendetta against anyone who draws on /ic/
2015 and 2016 was peak and then laziness set in.
>>8020211I don't have a favourite girl
>>8022489any image that gets replies will be reposted until it stops getting replies
If another anon made it, and you saved it, post it.
>>8022028https://warosu.org/ic/thread/7347034
>>8022340I think these two are from a draw thread on /co/
>>7986865Me too, anonKeep cooking black mommys
>>8015166@Treellaux
my hf draw this what do you think anons?
>>8022040Unrelated but i absolutely cannot stand when people take a photo of their art to share but they do it at a fucking angle. What is even the point? By taking the photo and posting it you clearly want people to see it but by doing it at an angle it’s like you’re so insecure in what you’ve made that you can’t bear for anyone to see it straight on.
>>8022352It's the same as including the drawing program's UI. There are even people taking a photo of their entire monitor screen. I know the effect it does but it's still so pretentious
>>8022352it prevents your phone from making a big ass shadow in the middle of your art, which is worse than showing it off at an angle.
>>8022410>program's UIInsecure, retards, so afraid of criticism that they show their art still "in development"

I've been into Art RPGs lately, having lots of fun drawing cute closed species characters... anyone on the same boat?

>>8022610Very nice
>No Pedophilia. No arguing if something is ephebophilia instead of pedophilia. As far as /wao/ is concerned, it is all the same, and (you) have no place here.So no Naruto and Sasuke Shippuden yaoi? No canonically underage characters even if they aren't loli or shota?
Yappy :D
>>8019681can you tell about how you sort grew into the way that you do faces?do you do only this style or others?
>>8019681Pay more attention to the alignment of the features before you refine the drawing and move on to rendering. Keep it up!
Nice bitch lil nigglet updoot

The general thread for Manga / manga-styled comic-making, manga-style illustration and related comic work. That said, everyone is welcome here.Support each other and talk about your work or the work of others that excites you. Inking, character design, paneling / layout, writing, planning, and other discussions are all welcome.Post resources, questions, in-progress pages, breakdowns of other works, etc. If a work is not yours, credit the maker (unless it's fucking obvious like a full page of One Piece or something).Thanks to everyone for making /mmg/ a level-headed and helpful place. Remember, drawing and making comics and manga are difficult endeavors, and we're all in this struggle together.Previous thread: >>8011306Some resources:/asg/, our stylistic sister-thread series for those focused more on illustration >>>/ic/asgBooks:Understanding Comicshttps://e-hentai.org/g/2042453/83e7da6ed0/Making Comicshttps://annas-archive.org/md5/d55168f7579c1e23275d1fc9f0a2255dComment too long.

>>8023188I outline the entire major plot points first by writing it all down, then I add in the minor connecting plot points so that everything flows together, make sure nothing seems abrupt. Then I go to my storyboard file I made myself and for each page I sit there and think about how I want each panel to look like and then I slowly start drawing some sketches. Thinking about how each panel will look like also includes the speech that will be for that panel. Once the scene is done, then I write the speech bubbles on top on a separate layer.Sometimes as a final "step" I put on some mood music to get me into the correct headspace while I storyboard. Happy music for happy scenes, scary ambient music for those kinds of scenes, etc. Outside of storyboarding I just draw in complete silence.
>>8023255How do you catch good ideas when writing? It's something I don't understand.
>>8023207You have method act it. Imagine being an Italian. Luigi, you son of a bitch, why have you fucked my wife last night, let's grab some pizza at Govani's.You know? You have to act it out in real life.
>>8023264Sure, but the dialogue also has to be interesting and fit to the genre. It also influences the plot and what kind of panels you should draw. I try to draw mystery genre for example and the dialogue has to convey a certain feeling too. I can't just write some random nonsense. It has to drive the plot forwards, actually has weight behind it. Plus it should convey some feeling of mystery.
>try a thicker, softer pen>inevitably and always go back to hard and thin>can actually see the slow progression of one pen from another in the panel
>official Spider-man movie artbook>one of the biggest studios in the industry using AI confirmedHow did the staircase/taxi get past any quality control? Do they just hire 1 artist to photobash AI? Will anything change from the backlash?
>>8022183>The lesson they're going to learn isn't "don't use AI", it's "don't get caught". And as AI advances, it's going to be impossible to get caught after a while.If the backlash and anti-ai sentiment gets bad enough, it may become 'if we get caught using ai, we're fucked, so let's not'. We'll have to see how things proceed.I'm not vocally anti-ai, but anything I know uses AI in a 'consumer facing way', like the visuals or marketing, is not getting my dollar. If I know a company uses AI in one product, I'll know that they're likely to use it in others, and so I'll probably just avoid all their products from then on.
>>8022205>doesn't affect me lol who cares u deserve itThis is why artists won't win. This space is filled with crabs who would celebrate if more artists aren't able to make a living with art.
>>8022183Good morning
>>8022221>>doesn't affect me lol who cares u deserve itYeah but unironically. There's plenty of ways still to make money as an artist on your own without having to become a "concept artist" for Marvel, Blizzard, Riot, Warner Bros, Disney etc. There is no "winning" when it comes to working for these guys their goal will forever be easy and safe profits above all else, and a big part of that is making sure they can underpay you or not pay you at all. Paying you for labor is forever the enemy to them. That will never ever change it just comes with the territory of working for a big media corp. I don't feel any sort of comradery with people striving to go work at these places because no only are they really obviously walking off a cliff, but also because these are people still view these corporations as their "heroes" even after years of mistreating artists and destroying their beloved IPs. They like the current state of things enough to want to support it. They're cool with it. Also I think being a concept artist for a creatively bankrupt corporation also somehow also seems to decay the concept artist's own creativity. I notice these guys pretty much do nothing of their own anymore once they get into these positions and just dedicate themselves purely to making splash art for the next Fortnite skin. A lot of comic artists will go back and forth between corporate and indie work, a lot of them doing their own comics, but all concept artists seem to do outside of corporate work is start youtube channels so they can hopefully dig themselves out of the hole by grifting beginners with "how to get into the industry 2026!" videos
>>8022172It's simple as>Oh, this product has ads/slop in them. I dont like ads/slop. I wouldn't buy these unless it's truly phenomenal or it's one of those FoTM gamesSo hopefully what we get is more slop devs actually trying harder to come up with games that ppl go yeah I'll try that despite having AI disclosure. Just take it as culling the piss and shit games.>>8022183>As AI advancesLol. Yeah sure as OpenAI / Anthropic needs another trillion dollar for their next incremental improvement to their models.>OpenAi is saying they're pausing model development for muh safetyBut in reality they're running out of money.

DIY screentones took some sacrifices but I made it. The transparent sticker paper just needs its glue weakened, then it won't rip the drawing underneath. Its still not ideal, but its perfectly functional.
>>8020220not a meme. they seriously get triggered by the ~26th most common English word because they are obsessed with trannies
>>8020220Default is "he", singular they is almost always a sign of mental rot or being terminally online.Also, you fags did 4 posts because of that, clearly you were the ones triggered by someone not playing along.
>>8019281>The transparent sticker paper just needs its glue weakened, then it won't rip the drawing underneath.How thick/high quality was the paper? If you're using ordinary thin paper, that may have attributed to the tearing.That said, you likely can just weaken the glue by sticking it to yourself, or your wall/table and peeling it off multiple times over. Once it comes off with little resistance, it's ready to put down on your art. I've seen videos of people preparing tape, for masking, in a similar way.>8021085>Default is "he", singular they is almost always a sign of mental rot or being terminally online.Wow, they (singular) are big mad.>Also, you fags did 4 posts because of that, clearly you were the ones triggered by someone not playing along.As if they (plural) have an obligation ignore retardation. Also, you've responded to them not playing along, so not only are you equally faggy, you're a hypocritical faggy faggot.
>>8021837>How thick/high quality was the paper?Pretty thick, 200gsm.>weaken the glue by sticking it to yourself, or your wall/table and peeling it off multiple times over.Tried it, still too strong. Hairspray is much better.>defending the mental rot with some meaningless word saladNevermind, kys.

>>8020045Because both can be true, it's not a binary. I still like your drawings, fair is fair. It's a simple premise, really. You think you know better, and maybe you do, but I'm calling you out, specifically, for being an asshole. That's it, it's not that complicated.
