>You're completely new around here, I can tell. Take this, it's a student handbook!

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. Be smart, keep discussion 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.

Coherence is denotational. Art is not inherently reducible to a formal structure, so informal coherence is emergence, of gestalt relations or of beauty. While I'm still learning, I value the highest perception but do not treat scale as a linear shape-hierarchical structure. A local compositional relation can carry the global emotion. Layered interpretation can equivocate double entendre. Artwork-level comprehension, or context-defined globality, depends on the viewer’s attention and preference. Thus the notion of order or scale in a serf-contextualizing fractal is subjective, like a universe within a universe.

The «difficult» framing is unwarranted. My points are neutral and inspired by style study series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RFIu7CJeFw

you're talking about comics? western art is vastly superior, but you think art is children's comic books tho so there's no point in arguing with you because you're obviously retarded and probably a fur fag too
>>
>>7955448
That's a pretty unpopular opinion, which is to be expected on a board dominated by weebs. Some of the best comic artists have this understanding of creating the illusion of movement that is rarer in manga, it's hard to describe
>>
>>7941343
>Is there some technique we westerners are missing out on
Kids have clubs where they get to do activities togerther, socializing and pushing each other to improve.
Art is a real career, parents don't bully or disown you for wanting to be an artist even if they'd prefer you were a neurosurgeon for the "easy money".
In the same vein, art is a valid form of entertainment, your peers won't bully you for reading manga or watching anime unless you're a loser otaku who doesn't complement those interests with academics and sports like a normal human being.
Doujin conventions are a clear and massive platform towards success, which drives amateur mangaka to publish as much as they can and build an audience of their own instead of waiting to be discovered by Marvel before drawing anything at all.
Lastly, manga editors are not slavedrivers. In Japan your editor is your agent and business partner, they can't afford wasting their time with nepobabies, good artists or writers get rewarded by getting published.
>>
>>7955600
Chinese and Japanese parents also pay for tutors so their kids have some sort of skill, many artists over there get drawing or painting lessons as children. At most a western artist might have an art class they participated in at school, but they would be completely self taught otherwise.
>Kids have clubs where they get to do activities togerther
Partly related, I didn't have participate in an art club but I did have a decent group of art friends back in middle school, we would just draw whatever for fun. It really helps to have that, I would draw almost every other day

I'm currently stuck in an unpaid internship and I pend most of my time doomscolling because I have nothing to do. I cannot draw because I will be seen (I usually switch tabs when someone arrives). When I come home I feel awful for wasting 7 hours of my life.
Do you have any tips on how to make a better use of my time?

Collect a bunch of references and take your time observing them. When you have time off from work, draw them from memory.

Look at lots of art. Bring some manga or comics to read on your break.

Do origami?

it's better if you draw it later from imagination too

How much does your office actually care, as opposed to it being in your head? Working in these retarded corporate jobs, people probably wont care if they see you sketching for 10-20 minutes, especially towards the end of the day. I get my thumbnails and scripts for my comic done or look them over while in my wage cage. Sure they’re unintelligible, but they work

>>7955445
Honestly, that was probably me. I made a thread a bit ago when i was doing my paid internship. I get how people feel, you sit down doing meaningless work for 8-9 hours which saps your energy, and its harder to make your art afterwards. I can draw 8 hours on the weekends, but its harder most during the week. Id kill to get published, im nearly 23, i cant do another 40-50 years of jewish daycare

So I've been copying anime Settei for a while now, but I don't feel like I've learned anything. It just seems like I'm building my observation skills, and that's it. I'm not learning what makes anime look like anime.
I know there are some esoteric tips like paying attention to directional changes. Are there any other tips that would make this make more sense?

The initial circle is primarily for scale. A moderately well-drawn circle will be as wide as it is tall, which gives you a sort of reference point to work from.
The center of the circle also serves as the connection between the neck and the head. The head swivels on that point. In reality, it's a little lower and closer to the rear of the head, but in animation the center point is used to simplify things.
>>
>>7954344
That makes sense, actually missed the center dot in the beginning. I'd be interested if there's an animation centric resource on this. Most animation books I see go through construction and standard stuff like walks/turns/etc. but not further into the technical like using projection to solve problems. Then the stuff that teaches projection and perspective are focused on architecture/mechs/etc leaving out character design. It feels like I need to put it all together like a puzzle.

I don't want to scare you with this revelation, but most portraits are created in a studio setting.

Your definition of good artwork appears to be zany dynamic figures shuckin' and jivin' around in a fantastical setting. Your definition of good artwork is anime.
