yes. but some just paint over instathots or other references. depends on the person. they also do the tim buckley tier faces - drag and drop eyes, mouths, hair, etc and resize/tweak depending on the angle.

I find drawing shoes to be so annoying that I just load up similar shoe models on sketchfab, rotate it around in the previews and snapshot and paste it into my drawings. Then trace it. Saves me a lot of time and why didnt I think of that earlier.
>>
>>7217080
Using AI can save even more time right? who cares about the effort.
And don't tell me about copyright, if 3D tracing artists had good morals, they would've used the #3dtrace art tag.
3D tracing artists will use AI tools in the future, you can screenshot my post.
>>
I made a bunch of 3D model interiors over the years in an attempt to use them to streamline my drawing process that involves the same settings. Although I found the process of setting them up and use them for tracing or even just using them directly is too involved, and the resulting in mediocre products, similar to a loose reference, since I prefer to draw my own characters, so I don't usually use character models in conjunction with these backgrounds, but it is sometimes necessary to get the correct scales. Unless this way of drawing is ingrained in someone's process personally I just think it involves too much planning and it makes drawing process less fun for me. nevertheless I still sometimes uses design doll to play around with because I have hard time visualizing certain poses and how bodies intersects, but the figure is still not able to get it quite where I like it.
>>
>>7216835
Its a great tool yes, but it doesn't change the fact that your lack of anatomical knowledge and even draftsmenship will show through if you simply trace them. Good artists will use it as a quick way to come up with poses and the right perspective for it like >>7216842 but if you look closely they don't really follow the 3d model past placing it as a base
>>
Yes but still you need how to draw and need learn anatomy. It is not a shortcut to stop learning, its a tool.

Let me rephrase the question. "Are there any artists or mangakas who I can study it from and attempt to use it on my own artwork eventually being able to emulate it myself."
>>
>>7217438
It's not cheating yourself if all you want to do is to make a comic/manga

If your goal at the gym is to just get jacked (and you're smart enough to follow a schedule), why not use steroids to augment your training? Of course if your goal is some kind of holistic fitness, then don't use roids.

It's all about your goals
>>
>>7217446
Bernie Wrightson's Frankenstein is a masterclass of hatching like that
>>
>>7217447
>why not use steroids to augment your training?
Because of all the bad side effects.
Just like with tracing the bad side effect is losing the respect of your peers.
If you don't care about it, then go ahead.

You can most certainly do it but that doesn't mean you'll achieve the result you expect due to your complete lack of intuitive thinking ability.

Is this just a weird roundabout way of asking for the source? Why would you reply "I need to know if there are any mangaka who use it like that" when you're responding to an image of a mangaka using it like that? Reverse image search is your friend.
Anyway no matter how many examples you see you're not going to be able to draw anything like that without thousands and thousands of earnest attempts.

I have nothing against using 3D mannequins and fully accept there are plenty of artists better than me who do it. However I also think a skilled and practiced artist can simply draw mannequins faster than anyone can finagle a 3D model into the right pose and angle.
>>

Not really, and if you don't know that it just means you don't spend enough time lurking and don't follow enough artists. Like, just off the top of my head, jeonghee1414 is probably the best and most influential anime artist of the decade and he doesn't trace and I don't believe even uses 3D at all.
Inoue Kiyoshirou is a hentai OG who's got insane skills and clearly worked without tracing (as is evident from a few draft books he released).
There are hundreds of artists on twitter churning out daily figure studies by the dozen, too.

Also, there's a huge difference between using 3D for reference and tracing.
>>
>>7217676
where does "craft and care" begin and end exactly?

is that surprising? There's a reason why a lot of these anime artist artwork is so flat, boring, stiff, and nearly look all the same. It all about saving time.

Sorry, that's a delusion. The 3D perspective and contraction/position of bodies and all bones and muscle groups takes time and effort for anyone. Especially if you want to draw uncommon poses/physical interactions between bodies. Kim jung ji became famous because he seemingly could do it, but the reality is that he's 1 in millions with a very specific brain setup to accomplish that. Even then his poses can be overly static compared to some pro hentai stuff, just because the hentai artist might focus a lot more on exaggerating physical deformations, perspectives, etc

But it's also true that you need to be able to draw mannequins as fast as you say for the AI to not become just a crutch stopping you from improving. It's a different thing when a pro uses AI to speed up work/focus on other things and a beg does it to avoid learning

Most mangaka who really know how to draw well don't bother with that mannequin crap because at their skill level its actually more efficient to just draw the thing instead of fiddling around posing mannequins.
Most of the artists relying on this are mid-skilled draftsmen and renderfags who are firmly entrenched within ten generations of anime stylistic inbreeding and are more interested in the costuming and prettification stage than learning to draw well and/or crap out art as quickly as possible. You know, the kind of faggots who do work for isekai manga/manhwa and the like.

>afraid of backlash
try "afraid of the whole market becoming buried in shovelware so being good at drawing becomes entirely useless and art dies out"
You already can't make a career without selling out entirely, making addiction/porn, or being a literal art god "teaching" others to be hired by the same industry you left because it made you want to kill yourself. "Backlash" is people who don't want every job/art form to be entirely outside the reach of anyone wanting to develop their talents (music, gaming have been hit hard by shovelware and digital platforms long before AI, now they're effectively dead across the western world)
>>
We already had a whole ass Twitter thread at the beginning of last year on how people were talking about tracing 3D models and we deduced that the people advocating for tracing 3D couldn't draw to save their loved ones lives under the threat of a drone strike while the people against it were basically "no rules just tools" but learn your fundies.

You have access to the same tools. If you think it's so easy, why aren't you doing it? Because you know the results will be shit anyway.

I dont get it. You can always trace over it and then exaggerate your gestures so to get that the boring 3D stiffness out of the way. Maybe begs would trace the outline of the 3D which is the wrong way to do it. Just use trace over the landmarks and once you have enough guides to base off, turn that trace layer off and draw your own way.

Just depends on your goal and the amount of effort you put in to achieve it.

What if these models were originally intended for mangaka with arthritis/disabilities and the mangaka poses the model and the assistant draws the character over the model?
