DC hired an artist that draws loli and shota porn for a Supergirl oneshot. I don't want to hear you fags crying that drawing porn blacklists you from the industry ever again.

anime is made in a few steps

>step 2 - scan it and draw vector lines in retas or unaliased lines in clip studio
>step 3 - fill flat colors with the bucket in previous 2 programs
>step 4 - add all the post processing in after effects

that's it, profit
you can just look it up on youtube, there's a ton of footage from production of almost every major anime company

Also should ask him how long it took him to finish it. My old as fuck drawing that I tried to redraw took me 6-8 hours and looked like dogshit, but my new drawing only take like 1.5 hours tops. A lot of people really forget that the only thing you can see are the final result so the comparison is just whether it gives the same kino feel or not (obviously it would not. You can be the frieren looking up creator and improve massively but you'll never be able to recapture that kinosovl)

There was a similar "stagnation" thread a few months back where crabs were lambasting some dude for stagnating for two years but it was quite obvious he made improvements.

I think he got better. I'm sure first pic is a one off and it took him days to finish, and never make one exactly like it, while the second he can knock out in hours, and can consistently repeat. Like its obvious he spent 10x as much time on the first.

The second one is just way more 'readable' with the secondary details blending into the background and much more contrast between the characters and scenery.

How do you deal with envy? It feels like everyone improves faster than me, everyone's art is more soulful. I've definitely gotten better but it's such a struggle for me, it feels like everyone else understands what I struggle with faster. I'm still having fun but sometimes this ENVY washes over me, and all I can do is sit there.

So, I've been looking everywhere in countless book sites for a higher quality of that specific version of that bridgman book. Because I really wanted to find the fifth edition of bridgman complete guide to drawing from life. As it is the most recommended version. The problem is that I could only find that one version with lower quality than the old one. I really need it for the marshall vandruff bridgman bootcamp. As I don't have any way to access it. Because I am a third world country subhuman that is poor as hell.

Are there any modern anime art styles capable of hitting the right spot between looking properly cartoonish/exaggerated but still very cute and appealing like Slayers or Rumiko Takahashi series do?
It's what I'm aiming for art-wise and I need similar more modern artists to study outside of those classic examples

I'd look at movies, they tend to invest more in aesthetics. For example, City Hunter: Private Eyes does a great job of modernizing the classic Hojo style.
As for series, the remake of Yaiba: Samurai Legend looks awesome too.

Don't sleep on the French. Many of the Japanese artists behind these great looking modernizations were influenced by the Beaux-Arts tradition.

What typical Linux fanboy cope and word games.

I am the guy who mentioned /boot the main problem is that the OS itself is written by retards who did not think what will happen after 40 kernel updates.

>It works
Ok. However the OS will nag you that there is no space on /boot and it will nag you to update the OS and this will result in a error window. All normies will complain about it.

>You only have problems if you login as root
>Fix the problem
You are a clown.
To fix the problem you need to login as root and this can brick the OS.

Ah yes, an upwards arrow icon in the tray is somehow worse than automatically installed updates that then force you to reboot in the middle of work. Just stop pretending you've used Linux for more than three minutes.
Not sure what you meant by that highly hypocritical meltdown about root too. I did not claim anything specific about escalating privileges, just that your assertion that you need to be a highly trained professional to use the OS is retarded. GUI application managers existed for 20 years. If you need third party slop, there's Flatpak now too. And yes, I installed Skype using a .deb.
By the way, removing previous kernels automatically is the riskier approach in case there's a latent issue and you need to roll back. And again, a full /boot does not make the computer stop functioning. You can still boot it up and use it, maybe even get help online and figure it out. Oh, but God forbid you know how the tool you're using works, I guess, makes it harder to upsell to you.

Apologies if this gets asked a lot.

I've always liked art, but I never seriously tried learning it. I doodled a lot as a kid, stopped in my early teens, and now I'm 25 and want to give it a proper shot. I'd like to eventually make work that's on the level of the artists who inspired me.

One thing that's always held me back is that I've never had much confidence in my own ability. I also don't really consider myself a particularly intelligent person, so I've always wondered whether that's something that could hold me back when it comes to learning art, or if it's mostly a matter of consistent practice.

Right now I struggle with pretty much every fundamental: shapes, perspective, anatomy, etc. I also feel like I can't draw anything convincingly unless I'm directly copying a reference. If I try to draw from memory or come up with a pose on my own, it usually looks stiff or just wrong.

Is that just a normal part of being a beginner, or does it suggest I'm lacking creativity or visual imagination? I'd appreciate any advice from people who started later or went through the same thing.

Your post is well-written, and if you wrote it on your own you are not an idiot (in the clinical sense of the term).

If you can also read well, you are at an advantage compared to the many art students who shun books with text, because a lot of older art instruction books (these are the best ones) are text-heavy and filled with great advice and observations.

You struggle with drawing from imagination? So do many artists coming out of ateliers and academies who can draw beautifully from models and reference (see: Proko).

Seeing accurately is a skill that can be developed with practice.

Inventing figures is a different skill, one that entails several branches of knowledge: anatomy (the relevant parts), motion, balance, form, etc.

I think you can become competent, at least. Whether or not you WILL is another matter, and that's for you to decide.

>>7984101
What test did you take and how old were you
>>
Intelligence is expressed through planning. And consideration.

Realize that making worthwhile art requires stages and steps towards the final project.

Don't know what to draw? Try my Creativity Grind:

https://youtu.be/1OSWR7xiQLk?is=r9kGCaVqHKC0GzKV

Repeat until you get something you are interested in drawing again. Then draw it again, not to make a masterpiece, but to get a feeling for your subject. Here you are doing designing, and such stuff should be treated like the scrap paper you do the calculations on before presenting the mathematical formulas in neat lines. People will criticize these works, not understanding that what they are seeing is part of the process and not the results of the process.

How do you guys manage your mental when it comes to drawing and doing other things like video games, movies, tv, etc? Any time I try to relax and do something else, my mind keeps telling me that I'm wasting time I could be using to improve and that there's no point in playing a video game, and I just end up feeling very anxious. Anyone have advice on managing this? I've seen really big artists say they make time to do other things but I have no idea how you're supposed to focus on anything else when your brain keeps holding your skill level as a hostage.

this is a technique that works uniquely for me because im an idiot trannyfaggot but basically i found this amazing artist who does cool art of a trans OC of theirs, and every time i see it i get hit with the double whammy of

and
>god i wish i could BE that
and the anger that im wasting my time playing video games or whatever the fuck else instead of making progress and improving in either of those goals is enough to make me quit most games and other pointless bullshit and focus on art and self-improvement
haven't touched a game since i saw the art for the first time, will probably relax more once im better at drawing and can consistently finish the shit i start but until then i want to stop wasting time and just get better

not what you asked but, I used to beat myself up a lot, like anyone who sucks badly with art. one day i realized I was being unjust with myself, attacking myself for doing things that were actually quite reasonable mistakes. im a catholic, I refuse to be unjust. so if I ever self depricate, it has to be for a just reason, or I won't allow it. this effectively resulted in me never self-depricating ever again. when I mess up, i tend to either forgive it, or see it as the fault of my process.
