Why You Should Copy Anime:

**Strive for quantity AND quality.**

Anime Studying:
>Copy anime references exactly and draw them from memory. Use illustrations, screenshots, anime figures, 3D models, etc.
>Don’t copy recklessly. Use construction, color theory, and other fundamental concepts to rehearse a drawing process that you can later easily manipulate for original artwork.
>Post all of your anime studies. Post even when you’re told not to. Create an art community that actually draws and improves together instead of just talking about it.
>Number your attempts and link to your previous posts.
>Critiquers should lead by example by posting their studies.

General Anime Style Discussion:
>Questions about achieving certain styles/techniques/compositions etc.
>Drawing methods, study habits, resources, tutorials, tools, software, etc
>Be specific and try to post a sample of your study attempts before asking for help.

**Draw copies from good anime styled references to mindfully up our mileage, internalize appealing aesthetics, and learn from each other’s processes and knowledge.**

That's really early stuff, i'd choose a random old white man teacher to learn from instead...

Am I going wrong here by starting out at the top of her head? The weird little cowlick went wrong, and I'm getting this feeling like I should start copying elsewhere, but not sure where.

Start by drawing a rectangular shape for the frame, then start drawing within the frame. Start with simple shapes.

I drew Lum in pencil, took a picture with my phone, applied some filters to it, cleaned it up by hand a little and colored it with a hard round brush. Kind of looks like an ancient Deviantart drawing.

I usually draw as a catalyst for gachashit and it worked, but man I cannot get over how much worse I draw males. I want to say it's because I started "seriously" drawing with NMA courses but that's just cope
