Is there a single example of anime/manga characters drawn in a more realistic western style that's actually appealing? I don't think it's impossible, I've just never seen it done succesfully.
>>7775438Yeah i never got the horrible proportions that coom artists give to the characters in their fanarts lel
>>7775378As a kid I was forced some mornings while getting ready for school to watch sailor moon because my dad liked it. Only when I became an adult did I actually take time to properly watch a season or 2. I didn’t watch the whole damn series, though. It’s mid. I like Precure better.
>>7775339
>>7778924also if you mentioned you watched sailor moon or ppg as a guy you were called gay so yeah so your comment can only be directed to women and im sure women did actually watch sailor moon. i member the girls back then were all over fruits basket, too. it was a cult like twilight.
>>7775092Half the time, it's not even realistic, it's just comic book proportions/anatomy. For example, your picrel is is no way representative of the vast majority of 14 year old girls (except in capeshit).
I'm thinking of using November to storyboard one or two of those videos that play in my head whenever I listen to a particular song or another. Like nanowrimo but sketching. Anyone wanna join me?
It's fucking shit. why did you let me do this, cardboard isn't right for this.
>>7776989Seems like you're doing fine. Before going further, you might first attempt a simple cardboard cube. Wrap, spackle, sand or otherwise finish the cube as you intend to finish this piece. You can gauge the effort involved and see if you want to do the same with this larger work.

Do people still spend money on commissions? Is it worth it to put yourself out there or is the oil drying up and there isn't enough demand to make a livable wage as an artist anymore?
>>7771438I still commission artists to get art of my ocs and haven't touched ai stuff once. Pic related. I know quite a few people who still do as well.
>>7771438Why on Earth would I pay for a drawing?
>>7777716why would you pay to have your car fixed?
im literally shitposting on this shithole site for the first time in years, procrastinating my own personal work before i start one. The reason i stopped coming here and forgot about this place completely is because the majority of you are functionally retarded and just say stuff and ask stupid questions instead of drawing.it isnt 1400. youre not and are never going to be good enough to make a "livable wage" from commissions. you have to diversify your revenue streams with prints, commissions, gig work, collaborative projects, merchandise, maybe a patreon or twitch or have an ongoing series supplemented with ads and issue sales.the roundabout answer is "yes" people still spend money on commissions you fucking idiot and if youre asking if its worth putting yourself out there youre already too fucked up to commit to it. Imagine asking about demand in an era where people are lapping up generic dolls, random animes can have hundreds of thousands of fans baying for custom produced content and there are a bazillion hobbies that require creative application.
The main site I got commissions from was ArtistsnClients and I can't access it anymore. Anyone got any ideas where I can find more that isn't twitter?
>How to draw anything!>Learn construction and perspective to draw what you see!>How to draw a head / body>Use this process with very specific guidelines, proportions, and techniques to get the head angle, jawline, etc correctWhy can't you just reference a model's face and draw from construction?
the redpill is anatomy doesn't matter at all. Its form you need to learn. Mastering anatomy will not make your art better, it will only allow you to draw realistic boring figures. Most people want to draw more than that so you have to abstract the anatomy in some way. Might as well learn the abstraction and symbols alongside the anatomy.
>>7774678but [generic art youtuber] told me symbols are bad?
>>7774678>Mastering anatomy will not make your art better, it will only allow you to draw realistic boring figures. Most people want to draw more than that so you have to abstract the anatomy in some wayAnatomy informs the abstraction. Yes, you will want to abstract to make appealing stuff, but you can't abstract what you don't understand. If you only learn symbols you'll only ever be able to draw those symbols, but if you learn how it actually works you can create your own symbols that actually look good. So unless you only ever want to do mastercopies, learning anatomy will be helpful to your art
But is there not some form of “standard” or base level you need to study or reach when starting outThis whole just draw thing is wildly too vague

Whats the fastest way to keep consistent sprite scale across multiple sprites and backgrounds?

>>7767768I100% he does actual drawings outside of what he posts here. If we had an even more schizo anon who saved quite literally every single image here over the years, we could deduce it.
Is there much of a point in doing portrait drawings for concept art?

how to draw hair? I want my character to have a messy ponytail hairstyle but the hairs looks crudely drawn even if i reference from life.
>>7772941Just keep trying.
>>7772941did you ever see a drawing of hair that looked good to you? try doing that.
>>7772941here is a simple step by step guide I made like a few months ago for a friend. While I've gotten better, the general principles still apply.
I have no idea if this artist has been talked about here before but... What do you think of Watatanza and his style?
>>7777151there's no such thing as wasted talentit's his to wield and do as he pleases with it
how the fuck do people draw nice without rendering and without using line thickness but I have to use all these things and my art is still shit.
>>7778096very confident lines and use of shapei've seen plenty of eastern artists that are able to just whip out figures solely through stacking shapeskrenz doesn't shut the fuck up about it in his free lectures and spends like 45min on the topic in one of them
>>7774855love furry girls
>>7778271I second this notion, we should crowd fund gene therapy research that will allow people to transform into anthropomorphic creatures of their choice and then cultivate a psyop which promotes human men x furry women relationships, and live in a man-made paradise thereafter.
>>7759691I do this but with poses. I constantly draw the same pose over and over again without noticing.
>>7772462welcome to the club
>>7759730Kek I thought for a second you're talking about the beg trap as some kind of entity, which is always trying to come up with new ways to fuck with people like op
It happens to everyone i guess, but it's a cool thing to identify this troopes and try something different next time

>>7777095no, that's just what the internet is like outside of /ic/even in drawthreads on other boards, it's nothing but empty praise and feelgood platitudes/ic/ tends to lean on the other side, but at least you can tell when someone's being a cunt for the hell of it, seeing absolute trash getting the same feedback as you is devastating
>>7773028Which video from him is that print?
>>7776957>>7777095>positive commentsBut it's true, there's some improvement, he now knows what the land marks of the face is but is too stupid to figure out he's not using the correct angles by using plumb lines and triangulation. This man refuses to measure anything it's a major step to see him at least measure the head.
>>7778474holy beg
Any good real life reference to design hot and cool black characters/ characters with dark skin tone? I'm having trouble finding pictures with varied hairstyles.
>>7773915If you are trying to stylize a black character, it is easy to make everything appealing. Just search for an image and try translating the stuff in your style, but the only thing is the fucking black nose, no matter how you represent it, it looks horrible and can ruin an entire face. Hope you luck anon
>>7773915>I'm having trouble finding pictures with varied hairstyles.I got you anon, As a black guy myself Let me put u on sum gameYou can lookup braids styles for men/women on things like Pinterest (They will give you a plethora of various styles that you can reference)>Dread styles (please no killmonger dreads, nobody rocks those irl)>FadesComment too long.

>>7774010He wrote black/brown which means either one or another and her skin is clearly brown. How did you interpret it as him claiming she is negroid?
>>7774007Why did they give her non-symmetrical lips. Looks so bizarre and alien
