Objects in, upside down? Apparently I struggle to, form things in my head, and had been finding shortcut-esqs means to, correctly portray form before drawing it? Like, dots, vertices, basic forms but... Rather experimental? Like mathematical rotation, or just, pure visualizations. But precise.
Other than that, 6 digit traffic/sales content, what would be the guideline or just, mathematically measure, your canvas,maybe against the market. Or maybe even simpler like how or whys.

What is this sort of Chinese anime style called and how do you learn to draw it?

It is very different from just "anime" drawing, things like genshin's official art highly stylized. It is often more noisy and less vibrant especially in backgrounds.

It's called Soulless which is an umbrella term for all anime art styles that came after Dragonball.

Look up some manga drawing books from chinese artists. From the cover alone (or by looking up the artists illustrations on the general web) you should be able to tell whether it's china style slop.

I got one from Kami Lou Chaoye in german....

How can you prove your artwork is authentic in the world of AI slop? Every method I could imagine has been compromised.

>WIPs
Pretty easy to fake. Just trace and work backwards.

>Timelapses
Some apps like Procreate let you hide reference layers, and it's known that prompters will take advantage of that to hide the fact that they're tracing over AI slop.

>Traditional
Even that isn't a guarantee since prompters have now been printing out their AI slop and tracing over it on paper.

So what's left? Filming yourself drawing? Showing your entire file system? Is this an unwinnable arms race?

AI doesn't do anything remotely close to "perfect" lighting, it does slop lighting that makes it identifiable from the thumbnail alone.
I wish these people put a little more effort into denouncing the sloppers, and stopped going after small fry nsfw faggots. I keep seeing Xitter superstars with 100k+ followers passing off their shit as legit and putting "no AI pls :)" in bio without as much as raising an eyebrow, some of them even outright admitting to using AI, and none seems to bother going after them.

THe problem is that the average person is even dumber and can't even stop the most obvious AI art with completely messed up backgrounds. Especially since most just scroll on their tiny phone screens and don't think about it for more then a second. It's also doesn't help that a lot of people just don't care if something even is AI to begin with.

>a lot of people just don't care if something even is AI to begin with.
The people who care are increasingly the minority. Did you know that there's an AI Darth Vader NPC in fortnite that kids can interact with? There's an entire section of youtube by kids of clips of AI Darth Vader saying funny things. Kids are growing up with AI like most of us did with the internet. Not only will the next generation of consumers accept AI, they will embrace it.

Any idiot on ic still trying to convince people AI is a dead end is a retarded crab at this point. Better start learning lora models if you want to compete in this new landscape. Or just accept that drawing will always be a hobby for yourself.

>>Anon I need to know how to draw beeg beautiful mountains of cloud behind the big tittied bazonga girls I draw getting railed on the beach.
Seriously though, i see big almost mountainous clouds on a lot of background panels often and really like it.

Redraw real pictures of clouds you like. Redraw drawings of clouds you like. Once you get the hang of copying, try to inject some of your own style into it. Study and interpret - it's the only way.

I had to teach myself a little bit of how to draw a cloud using your image as a reference so I could teach you a bit here.
You see Anon, really all it is is just squiggly cunts reallly.
Just draw some squiggles for your base, and then come back with a darker color, same idea really, ideally getting more lumps and shit like in your image, you'll have to excuse me I've never done this before and I'm just brute forcing it.
And then, come back, add in some more squiggles, where ever you feel like.
Maybe you want some trails coming off your cloud, or you want more fluff, just squiggle a bit more erratic I suppose.
Alternatively, you could just open your image in a program with layering, and just trace the edges to get a feel for it.
That works wonders for learning.
Tracing for study purposes.

Is there really no reliable way of opening your mind's eye in order to be able to imagine something, and then draw it like you're looking at a reference in real life?

I'm not talking about construction and sketching and erasing and adjusting etc until you find something you're satisfied with, but sharpening your imagination and being able to hold an image still in your mind for a long period of time

this, every minute you spend with your tulpa friends, it increases, every minute you spend looking at your phone and drooling on yourself it decreases. If you have "aphantasia" you're just the equivalent of a 400 pound guy hearing about sprinting and thinking it's literally not possible for him.

Or you don't have a human soul, probably both are possible.
>>
>>7843921
I don't have aphantasia, I can imagine things I just can't visualize them

The easiest example would be drawing while looking at a reference vs drawing after only being allowed to study the reference

A ton of the top tier artists can see something and then conjure it up in their heads without effort, they can keep a consistent and accurate image in their mind and switch their "eyes" from that image to the paper so it's basically like drawing from reference

I can conjure up an image for maybe half a second before it disappears and it's almost never accurate, if I have to draw something from memory it means I'll have to learn the reference as a mnemonic in words
>"oval head, three bangs one going to the left, left hair part makes a spear tip shape, eyes slightly further apart and tilted inward, long nose etc"
Whereas a top tier artist can just bring back the image itself and "look" at that while drawing

I can imagine animated 3D action in color, it's just not useful for my drawing in any way since it's all vague undefined shapes

I've never seen this. Often artists do a quick underdrawing and use their years of skills to build up/design what they want out of the underdrawing. The reason why they have to make the underdrawing (or sketch) super fast is because we can't hold on to an image long without it morphing on us due to any minuscule of input- like a misplaced brushstroke for example.

Only sensible anon here. REFERENCES, retards, that's how you build your imagination muscles. You draw the human body from reference enough times, and eventually you'll be able to do it from nothing. You fucking morons

I really enjoy watching boomers creating art. There is something about them that the newer generations just cannot capture. I wonder if it is related to life experience and not chasing the algorithm as much as the zoomers content creators.

A lot of you want to become big artists on social media yet are so complacent and stuck in your victim mindset and it’s actively contributing to your stagnation. There are artists, both big and small, trying to inform you about the steps you can be taking to legitimately improve your experience on social media and potentially grow a career, yet so many of you will find a million and one excuses to not have to move out of fear, ignorance, or ambivalence.

Obviously there are people who have things going on in their lives that contribute to them not being able to give their all into their career paths, but the cohort of people that have gotten so used to not bettering their chances of success due to being inconsistent in their approach to posting and/or not knowing how business in social media works in relation to art would much rather sit behind their shields of nihilism, ignorance, and victimization instead of doing the work of being part of a community to promote each other and make sure we all have something to eat at the end of the day besides depression.

Luck is an undeniably huge factor of building an online status as an artist, but consistency and quality is what will ultimately keep people around. Success is found through sacrifice, self reflection, and having faith in oneself to achieve their dreams, and community is built through everyone sacrificing a little bit of something for the common and greater good, those willing to put forth the effort and do the work will bear the fruits of the labor while those who stagnate and refuse to change their way of thinking will forever have seeds in a garden that will never grow.

I'm learning art for game dev and I notice that people are so bad at hiding their power levels now. They treat it like a violation of their right to free speech that they can't post total nigger death under their full legal name and address with their face attached. The weird thing is 4chan is totally normified these days (KF is the new scary boogeyman site) so I don't know why nobody cares about anonymity.

I had a webcomic once upon a time. This sample strip wasn't what I intended, but what I had time to do, a story that grew organically under my pen as I spent time in waiting rooms with too much time on my hands. It went away several years ago, but the dream still clings, still haunts, still flickers as a dim hope.

Assuming you got the necessary skills to pull it off, is there a market for trad paintings depicting the medieval era. I think that there is interest but when you consider how long it would take to setup and paint it that would elevate the price too much for most people interested in this kinda of painting. So now you are stuck with rich people and competing against modern art bs

Where did Bouguereau find a perfectly cubic stone in a cave but mainly how did he get a child to sit for hours for his paintings?

>>7842029
There are many different schools of thought in painting. Bouguereau used models but idealized his figures. After working out the composition, he would isolate each figure and draw studies from a model. Depending on the challenges involved, additional studies would be drawn of details like heads, hands and feet. The figures in the final preparatory drawing would be modified to agree with the classical standard of beauty (or the artist's version thereof). Proportions would be adjusted to the ideal, bellies tucked in, cellulite erased, breasts made more shapely and perfect. Artists like Bouguereau could therefore invent and were not slaves to the model. There is no evidence of Bouguereau using the type of construction that involves boxes and cylinders. However, the underlying principle of that practice, to think in terms of three-dimensional form and to look for, and elucidate, changes in plane, would have been internalized by an artist at Bouguereau's level.
