is rotoscoping cheating?
>>7866357No, the result matters. Rotoscoping looks like ass, but if you're good at rendering beyond that you can actually create some insane bangers. Frazetta did this, look through some of his pieces and you'll see he repeated poses perfectly, and he had a projector to trace off. He's still the king of his genre, but he absolutely traced and rotoscoped (usually himself and his own face if you look at the faces of the male characters he drew).
>>7866357No but it sucks desu. Disney was able to closely reference/rotoscope from footage effectively but that's because they had literal master draftsmen in their employ
>>7866357Only if you do it digitally using any kind of digital aid
>>7867424sorry what were you saying? I got distracted by the...
>>7867424>he absolutely traced and rotoscopedWhat are you talking about? Frazetta was not an animator.
Hi anons i hope you all doing well btw here's a silent comic I've did in 6 days to challenge myself feel free to criticize so i can improve thank you page 1
>>7860646Thx for the criticism anon Glad you still remember the other comic I've did >>7860760Thx anon for the criticism We all face that, I'm newly graduated, looking for a job in software engineering, not because I love it but just to gather money for a drawing career and project so let's keep working on it >>7860792Thx for pointing all of this, I really appreciate that and I've already took a screenshot of your criticism and advices so I can fix it in upcoming works >>7860808Oh really, glad you've like it I said that the quality dropped because those two pages I've did in like 40 minutes each (super quick which is bad instead of taking my time in them)
>>7858687looks like /beg/ shitshow "comic" attempt
>>7863699>super quick which is badThis sounds like cognitive bias.
>>7858687What's the bottom middle panel supposed to be?
>>7858687felt kinda rushed, 7 pages for the setup and then resolving in 2
how do i improve and quick? i get barely any likes but i like drawing its really fun and i wanna know what stands out to others as my weakpoints so i can be better bc i like getting likes too and im terrified of art regression. also what styles should i learn so i can do a variety of them? what do people actually enjoy looking at? also im scared my art is inherrently unnapealing for some reason so if it is tell me why
>>7867121no im gen just a girl
>>7867137>gen girlSo you haven’t gone through surgery?? Don’t cut off your dick bro. It’s not worth it.
>>7867165i never had a willy in my whole life.. so rude..
>>7864048cute
>>7867189>no dinkusAlways the ones you never expected... Damn.
what went wrong here?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RrbkoWeOSkIs this method legit or am I being trolled? I was sent this by a friend but we're both begs. He said it's helpful but I'm not understanding it.
>>7863458We had a whole thread about the book a few weeks ago
>>7867265The worst part of it all is, they still haven't learned anything from all of the dunking on. Quite the opposite, they seem even more set in their ways.
>>7867261When I was a little kid, I used to trace art off pinterest and make drawing tutorials on deviant art. The phrase "You have to learn the rules before you break them" always sticks in my mind because one of my most successful fake tutorials was getting a random picture of a cat, finding toon cat art on pinterest that looked sort of vaguely similar, and pretending to simplify the photo into a toon drawing, and I used that phrase in the annotations after reading it somewhere even though I did not know anything about any of the rules I was pretending to break. Somehow I was never caught and I got a lot of praise and followers and averaged around 30-50 comments per fake tutorial saying it helped them. I'd find people in the wild recommending my tutorials to others. I had literally no idea what I was doing and whatever I hadn't just made up was a principle I'd just copied at a surface level with 0 understanding. People would ask me questions and I would just bullshit them with a straight face and they'd just be like "cool thanks!" They also didn't know I was 11, I pretended to be older and faked work experience at Disney and no one questioned me. If you're wondering how people could be so retarded, I posted anthro animal shit.I didn't do it out of a sadistic desire to trap begs, I just desperately wanted to be an artist so I was larping as if I knew how to draw when I didn't. So if you're wondering why a beg who can't draw would make a tutorial teaching you nothing or the wrong thing, it's probably insecurity.Ironically trying to make my traces look convincing taught me how to use non-ms paint art software and I drew more back then than I do now even if I was a thieving little shit. The only reason I stopped was because I got bored and found other goals in life I could actually achieve. If I had known how to make money off it I definitely would have kept going until I got caught. I would've been an absolute menace if I'd grown up during the age of AI.
>>7867306Vile. Am I safe if the only internet tutorials I use are step by step guides on rendering?

>>7864224looks like a middle aged mom with hot flashes
I have understood there is a method that separates those who can draw or those who can learn apart from those who must struggle or "study": the ability to "project". A good artist does not do construction. They don't measure or waste their time with measuring proportion or angles. The image "appears" in their mind.They look at their canvas.They "project" the mental image that "appeared" onto the canvas and they trace over it! You don't need to study or anything it's pointless Do this trick and see if it works. If not then YNGMI.
Wow OP incredible I just drew a perfect anime girl instantly holy shit I never thought to do this before! Thank you, I am now /adv/ level and will begin collecting my $40k/month patreon salary
>Drawing has started to feel fun instead of miserable
>>7863077I don't I ever had any fun drawing. I *have* felt inspired though. And it was the best feeling ever.

Im killing myselfhttps://files.catbox.moe/7xhxfg.mp4
>>7860009AI = Asian Intelligence
>i am killing myself over something completely unnecessary and stupid like drawing shitty animu faces on nigger technology (smartphone)Just pick a pencil and white paper, faggot.
>>7859998You're gonna kill yourself over a generic floating anime head?
>>7859998Don'tI draw on my phone with my fingers as wellIt's not that hard
>>7859998for that? really nigga?

At what age did you start drawing?, is it too late once you're in your late twenties and neuroplasticity has set in?
>>7867093It is not too late at all. you can go from beg to pro in i think 2 years desu. the core point is you must stick to 1 art style and go deep into it. You dont need any books. Id spent first 6 months copying simple references with pencil for hand eye co ordination . Then moving onto the same for different tools : Depending upon your art style. But dont draw from imagination at all. That doesnt grow your skill. the best way to improve is to copy the same reference again and again until you get it near perfect to the original image. Start with super easy references and overtime move to harder ones. Watch a tutorial of someone doing your same style and copy his technique. Thats how all the renaissance painters did it too. Under wing of a master they copied there techniques, copying there art as a reference. Eventually combining multiple references to make there own image.
>>7864475>I'm torn between learning digital and traditional just for the fundamentals.nta but fundamentals don't really change between digital/trad. if you understand how to draw and render a form with pencil and pen then you can do the same with a tablet and vis versa. the big difference is that traditional needs more fore thought because the order you make marks will give different effects while digital allows you to do steps out of order and make major changes further into a piece.that said I like to switch between the two because digital is fast so good for basic studies, but trad has a feel and fidelity that can't be matched.
>>7867082Thanks. Some people peak early, some peak later in life. Even if it takes ten years more for the both of us, we'll only be in our 40's. That means there's at least 30 years of masterful drawing ahead of us after that. I got all the time in the world. We can make it, anon.Also, those hands and feet are beautifully rendered. They are better than mine.
>>7867238>They are better than minethats only after copying bridgeniggerman for hundreds of times and in the end these are also 'only' referenced. but doing these again from memory is easier now after understanding some of the bone and tendon structure underneath. in the end its basically just a slightly different kind of lego playset, putting the parts together so they fit
>>7867275I like the analogy of putting Lego together. That's a really apt way of describing it. As for Bridgman, I'm already noticing some common ways he constructs the bodyparts, especially knuckles, bone connections, muscles, etc. It's an amazing resource.
i dont fucking know how to learn arti am going through the essential books but they dont seem to improve my art skills. at allhelp
>>7866318just keep at it brah u dont get better insrantly. and loomis doesnt work for everyone so like if ur sure u js arent grasping it move on to another book. and take a break from studying to draw something u like even if shittily so u dont get bored n give up
>>7866318Try xiao weichun book exercises afterwards, watch actual artists like eo58 people that actually construct and solve their drawings in real time are super helpful. Join a canvas, join a community, get humiliated and get good. Don't join /ic/ canvas though, no one constructs there, it's full of blue haired retards that draw with memory, that will never ever help you. Good luck retard.t.fellow retard
>>7866563i am doing xiao weichun but have 0 directioni cant do the exercises right
>>7866734helpp
>>7866734apply what you read to studies of real life. Those stick figures, anatomy breakdowns, etc.? Look at a real person and draw with those in mind
I'm looking to draw a webcomic about dwarfs (fantasy, not midgets) and I need a charming but low-effort art style - who could I look at for reference? (Not pictured - too "cute")
>>7867260>I'm looking to draw a webcomicno you're not
I hate this trend
>>7863136i used a ton of my jobs sticky notes pads to learn animation techniques while at work. it was easy as shit while reading the animators survival guide
>>7863136are we talking about drawing on literal stickynotes, or the trend of buckbroken jap artists covering up their 2D cooters with these things on pixiv?personally, i really hate the yellow square sticky notes used on linux mint. i JUST want a plaintext editor without autoformat for fucks sake.
>>7863475lol I do this too. I give flipbooks to my bro at work too for fun
>>7863161kawaii desu
>>7866832I'm pretty sure this is about using sticky notes to correct mistakes in drawings. That's why they're in random places.
