>>8037808does anyone have a torrent of this course?https://coloso.global/en/products/illustrator-hide-us?reviewPage=3i want to get into drawing and ive heard good things about this person and i feel like a course like this would be a better start than keys t odrawing or similar books.

How important is it to have sharp vision? My eyesight is sometimes very blurry.
>>8064933I didn't make those threads. I got out of bed to draw and everything is so blurry. It didn't used to be like this.
>>8064925Blurry vision actually helps with seeing the big picture and simplifying shapes better
Essential. Time to give up. Better not try anymore.It's over. Just scroll all day, it's no use.Sorry, but there's no helping it.

How do I learn how to draw? Genuinely. I want to improve fast before the year ends, so how do I do it? What study plan?
>>8061554Great advice. Listen to this guy OP. It'll take more time than you initally think but you'll move beyond your current goals in time. Keep going the path and don't get too caught up in deadlines. You'll get there when you get there. You become your own teacher as you learn your strengths and weaknesses. You gotta get familiar. Gestures, anatomy, perspective and construction. Fundamentals. Starting with gestures and construction is a good way to improve as it's fun and you notice quick improvement. Writing the date down on your drawings is a good way to keep track of progress. I can look back 3 months and then see exactly what worked and how. Just have fun slowly expanding your mental library, combining studies with drawing from imagination. First you gotta learn how to construct as it's impossible to draw lively characters, in motion without it. Pinterest, google, thumbnails and whatnot. Something you like? Something feels too advanced for you rn? Challenge it and slowly step out of your comfort zone. Gl and hf. You can do it :)
>>8061339do all the krenz courses and training camps
>>8061322I cannot tell you how your brain controls your hand. You have to try it out to see for yourself. See where you're lacking and what you're unhappy with and try doing things differently. This is what's meant by "just draw." Everyone learns differently and controls their body differently. Experimentation should be just as important as fundamental practice.
>>8061322hide channel and hide's coloso courses (you can download them from the coursebusters telegram group)
>>8061322take notebook, pencil, go outside, observe and draw... nothing will teach you better then this.
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: >>8054540Some 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.

>>8066307Yes anon, everybody who disagrees with you is a nodraw.
>>8066254>hating fan service>hating "super cliche" scenesBecause Manhwa or their corresponding live action Kdramas don't have any of this........? What rock does this guy live under?
>>8066369people who complain about cliches are mainly talking about anime, and they just pretend they read manga. Think of the average zoomer, they can't even get through an email without hyperventilating and zoning out, they're not fucking reading actual manga unless its so popular that they NEED to in order to keep up with their peers. If a manga had cliches, it would be evident in chapter 1, and you'd just stop reading it. Most manga isn't even close to the stereotypical kawaii schoolgirl antics you see in popular anime.
How can I make this a spread page in print ver?
>>8066377I searched and as far is i understand csp ex is the only professional software to format comics and manga. Double spreads, multipage managment, pdf export and so on. Had to buy it myself.Otherwise do you have a tamplate for single pages? Cut it and insert the halfs into single page docs.>>8066333That's quite good, thx.

its been ages since a piece captivated me like this. this triggers all the right spots. to me its the perfect mix of rugged sketch and refined rendering.its so frustrating that this wasnt the blueprint for the ingame style.

>>8064843poo in the loo
why does this keep happening? my replication always comes out slightly wider and shorter than the original?
>>8058736you arent measuring well. try using an actual ruler maybeif you cant eyeball this being longer than that, its pretty hopeless.also, your diagram is stupid, ignorant, will fully misleading, or some other type of ignorant im not aware of.ok, lets assume you are measuring the width of something, eye size, and comparing it to the drawing on your page.your sketch demonstrates no knowledge of how that works. you wouldnt hold your measuring pen vertical....would you?
>>8059250you can try portrait orientation instead of landscape orientation page?
>>8058729You're closing one eye when you sightsize, right??
>Draw on a table>Accidentally make it to enlongated to compensate for viewing angle>Pick up drawing and notice it

>>8063131>>8063324>>8063604Not sure why dark souls games became a litmus test of gaming capability and why its still the case in 2026 15 years later I struggled with bloodborne at first (it was my first game) and I still had a blastThe point of those games is to bot give up, literally git gud, and find creature solutions to problems while using youre head and reflexes Its not all that different from grinding drawing the moment you start worrying about impressing people that's whn both became kess about a fun challenge and more about impressing faggots online It doesn't matter how good or bad you are at dark souls and drawing, if you're doing it mainly to impress other people you're a faggot who loss TLDRno one cares about who's gud at a game unless you're getting paid for it
That one detail or piece that automatically makes you like a drawing or painting. I will always appreciate tri color/limited color drawings, they just appeal to me so good.
colors in reflections instead of just white or yellow
>>8063992Fun fact, red actually physically jumps out of the page at you compared to other colors because of chromostereopsis. That's one of the reasons Optimus Prime looks so 3d when he jumps out of the screen at you in perspective against a blue sky background. It's a neat tool for character design once you understand it
>>8063867Good stylized anatomyI'm very fond of big head small body drawings as well
>>8064686Where to learn these things, anon?
>>8063867i generally try to work in three shades of color per material plus black lineart, not out of any self-imposed challenge, just easier to work with when you don't know what you're doing. these three shades are pretty easy to hue-shift to create unique-looking variations. here, i made maroon and indigo versions of vehicles this way.right now, i'm working on cargo crates. i need to be able to fit it through 20-pixel doorways, but i may make bigger stuff for bulk freight containers in the primary hold.i'm pretty limited with 16x16 pixels, so i tried to make a "companion cube"-esque box with greeblies on the side for opening the container and interlocking with a skeletal frame.up next, i want to make a cylindrical plasma container with a triangular base / end cap, but i'm not sure if i can accurately depict that with so few pixels.
Is this skill level attainable with 4 - 5 years of self taught practice from a legit high /beg/ point or am I just delusional?
>>8062550That's not gabe.
>>8063222sorry I don't know his new tranny name
I depends of your level of retardation. I see that you like japanese stuff and shit. You're just on your way. Probably by 5 months you got it.
There is now answer. Could you do it in 4-5 years? Maybe. Could you do it in one year? Maybe. It's literally impossible to say with any certainty. Some things just "click" for some people (talent), and everybody does indeed have different skill ceilings. You might find yourself improving rapidly for a while, sky seeming to be the limit, then a few years later look back and see that you haven't really improved at all, in fact you might even see areas where your skill has regressed. Some people can go from prebeg to pro in a couple years. Some hit high beg and just stay there. Some hit int and stay there. Art isn't inherently special, it's a combination of talent and effort, with everybody having a limit, and sometimes that limit might not be as high as they want, and/or the effort required for them to hit that limit might be much greater than they can commit in any reasonable amount of time. Of course keep drawing and striving, but who knows how long it might take you to reach a certain technical skill level, and even if you do reach a comparable skill, that doesn't mean that your art will necessarily have the same inherent appeal as your benchmark artist/piece.
>>8063472Gabe genuinely does not come on this board anymore, it's been some larper for awhile now.You can see their art on their twitter hikaripaladin. The one actual thread from them was months ago with a page of their comic, every other case is just some larper obsessed with trying to make another twitter artist a meme.
I am too retarded to go from left to right. Fuck I cant even draw left because I cant draw proportions most of the time and shit comes out looking like Quasimodo.Is this shit really what I need to stop being a permabeg?How do YOU draw a face in 3d?
>>8050766You need to internalize perspective. Since organic shapes are too hard for you, make a step back and start with simple stuff like copying furniture and still life.
