I got challenge for all anons who like ocs and trying out different things.

>How does it work?

I'll post a picture or someone else and everyone in thread has to design an oc based off the image presented. It doesn't have to be 1-1 with image but can have similar themes off the original
>What can i post?

Anything. Oc can be anything if you try hard enough/if you are autistic enough. Hopefully someone might have fun with this.

Why You Should Copy Anime:

**Strive for quantity AND quality.**

Anime Studying:
>Copy anime references exactly and draw them from memory. Use illustrations, screenshots, anime figures, 3D models, etc.
>Don’t copy recklessly. Use construction, color theory, and other fundamental concepts to rehearse a drawing process that you can later easily manipulate for original artwork.
>Post all of your anime studies. Post even when you’re told not to. Create an art community that actually draws and improves together instead of just talking about it.
>Number your attempts and link to your previous posts.
>Critiquers should lead by example by posting their studies.

Doesn't matter since the original drawing is beyond his skill, and most probably beyond yours too.

back again friends! this one took about 2 and a half hours.
i feel that i still need a lot of practice with hair, but i really wanted to draw a sabertooth 'cause i think they are real cool. lots of lion references, and i feel pretty good about it, though i think i want to try to draw one with a ridgeback instead next time. it was real good practice even if the image isnt perfect!

Back again friends. I have been fiddling around with blender for the past week and a half and this is the result of several trials and errors for about 5 hours of work, with 2 hours from today.
I am trusting the process, but goodness I feel like there a lot of opprotunities to mess up without even knowing, and you wont know until further down the road, where you cant fix it. But i admit, i am charmed by the technology. I can feel the possibilities growing as I continue to learn. The tutorial i have been folowing came with a free set of downloadable ears, and i felt so confident, i tried making them myself. Yes, they are trash, incase you were wondering. But it was the fact that i felt confident enough to do it my way, that made it worth while you know? And i feel i can get even better from here!

How can I reverse engineer artwork to understand their process and their brushes?

For instance, I have an idea this guy used painting and mostly a rough sketch with bold, thick linework, but I have a hard time wrapping my head around how.

I try to trace the linework using a couple of pencils in CSP ( G-Pen, Real G-Pen and some other I downloaded in the store ) yet, they hardly seem to "match" his exact linework.

Is this because I am using a cheap Wacom intuos that does not have good sensitivity to emulate his lines or I am just in the wrong brushes still?

I know this is my fault, but I stopped drawing during the pandemic and only did exercises in this course. That made me lose all the skills I had built since I was little up to that point. I can't even draw from reference and I no longer find it fun.

I tried reading Drawing On The Right Of the Brain to recover my observation skills but it's a bitch to understand all the outdated neuroscience stuff. I have been thinking of seeing a hypnotist.

How do i learn how to draw proper hyper? (Picrel is not mine) i already know how to draw decently but i decided to get on hyper big hot stuff like hyper bodies, genitalia, sex and penetration too, i'm also interested on doing insane amounts of fluids for that same purpose
Would appreciate any tips for it, please share whatever knowledge you can. extra points if its some solid resources like pdfs or books, that would be the cherry on top

If you actually new how to draw at a decent level you would know what you have to practice.
Your question reveals your lack of knowledge.
Keep studying your fundies or give up like most of the board
>>
>>7302602
All fundies and no fun makes jack a soulless moron.

The aim and what someone likes dictates what fundies are most important. There's overlap, but you would not give the same advice to someone who wants to just paint fantasy landscapes as you would someone who is deeply interested in making fantasy ARCHITECTURE. Much like that, regular coom drawing and hyper are related and overlap, but ultimately they have different skill focuses.

Not really.
Germany and France have a lot of ties with Japan, a lot of French animators work in the anime industry like that guy that was a key animator on Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 or that other Frenchy that worked on Chainsaw Man.
Plenty of companies hire anime artists in Europe for their anime and manga inspired comics.
There's also Eurocucks like picrel that work as a freelancers for weebs and Japanese companies.
>Timbougami's an illustrator from Germany
Plenty of weebs do webtoons, OEL manga, and VN games and they all use anime art style...

I don't read vns because reading most vns requires running nonfree software. Manga, anime or LNs are much better because you can consume them with only libre software, e.g. mpv for anime, nsxiv for manga, crqt-ng for books.
Most visual novels should be avoided since they are proprietary.

I've been telling everyone I'm learning to draw for the last year or so. The truth is that I spent the first week diligently doing DrawABox, lost my motivation, and I haven't drawn a single thing since. Not a doodle, not a sketch, nothing. I can't even draw a decent looking stick figure. They all think I'm a decent artist now because it's been going on so long, they even buy me fancy art supplies and I think them and tell them how 'x will be so useful for my paintings' and so on.

I don't think I can keep this lie going on forever.
What do I do?

Have YOU been telling them that you're a decent artist now? If so, then yeah you're fucked.

If not, you can just be honest and say "Yeah I'm still at the beginner stage". Only really dedicated people become decent artists in a short time frame. It's okay to improve at your own rate. You should only push yourself when you're no longer satisfied with your current skills.
