Is it too much to ask that they teach you how to draw these toy mannequins? They always show them off in their books and tutorials—these super cool toy mannequins that would make it easy to pose figures from imagination. But then they just show them off as promo material and never teach you how to do it.Is it too much to have a clean front/side view at least? So you can copy it? People like "Kawaii sensei" and "tenten/whiting" are guilty of this, but there are more.
>>7374626?
>>7374633Nope.Yeah I know you got it from tenten's book. But that's not it. He draws his toy like mannequins and the one you posted is done with boxes and cylinders. Granted what you posted is useful. But that's not what he usually uses
>>7374626asian jeans don't need being taught jack shit
>>7374636if you went through his book to the point where he introduces the manikins you wouldn't have such a stupid question
>>7374644I asked for a clean front view and side version. Not one that's already posed. You clearly didn't read the Op.
>>7374645>>7374626The pieces are already there. Just move them around to your liking.
If anything Covid taught us, it forced all those privileged kiddies on Social Media to teach how they draw anime. It took a fucking pandemic to get the pros to cough up how they draw behind the gatekeep and what did we learn? Most of them really don't know how to draw the figure well. Fuck, I'm in a discord with a professional Nip (I won't mention their name) with published materials and they draw just about the same level as /asg/. I'm sure you're obsessed with finding the best method, OP. I am, too. But you must come to the realization once you subscribe to a teacher's doctrine you're in their court now and you must play by their rules and if you attempt to deviate from it you'll just be left even more confused into an infinite nikki loop.
>>7374645and you clearly didn't read the book, he shows you how he got from A to B
>>7374645you coping perma /beg/s are funny. just quit drawing already.
>>7374651shutup
>>7374636He shapes the boxes into semi organic forms
>>7374651>projecting your lack of talent on strangers. KekMake me. >>7374650Are you stupid or just trolling? Again the issue isn't that doesn't explain how mannequins work but that he doesn't give clean referenced to copy. All are foreshortened. That picture is cherry picked because in that chapter he was explaining the torso.
>>7374649>they draw just about the same level as /asg/one of my relative's friends is native japanese and an artist. he makes probably $800 USD a month and works as a mangaka. he's definitely better than /asg/ but he's not the level anybody would expect to be to find work there, but considering his income level i think it checks out. though i think it's easier for newbie artists to get started there, they use a lot more art for advertising and everything. normies buy line stickers and stuff instead of using those horrible 3d model apple emoji people
>>7374626They have observational drawing classes during their school years so they rightfully expect you to know how to draw what you see in front of you
>>7374636Let's be real, most people just buy books like this to add to their collection. There are a plethora of books that actually teach you important things about construction. Books like this are made to look good so you can be a happy little consumer and flip a couple pages, maybe even copy a drawing or two before you put the book away and never touch it again. The sinking feeling that you should be studying from the book you bought in the back of your mind that you drown out by filling your leisure time with recreational activities. Slowly collecting dust before you ultimately pick it up one time, dust it off, flip through it and realize the book was complete garbage to begin with.
>projection
>that's the joke
>>7374626They all read Famous Artist Course's 4th lesson.
>>7375105OP here. OMG. My mind is officially blown. That's ecactly what I was looking for. I had that saved but never bnothering reading it until now.Thanks anon.
>>7375105At this point, just learn from someone modern like vilppu but OP rather find the magical course that will take him from zero to hero.
>>7375162Vilppu sucks ass dude dont shill him here
>>7375162>Op (me) asks for resources on a specific topic for mmy studies.>OP jUsSt WanTs MaGiCWhy is Ic/ like this?
>>7375173Hes projecting himself onto you lol
>>7374626I've been drawing my entire life but I don't know how to draw anything. I just construct shit and hope it looks good by the time I'm done.
>>7374636>>7374626>Is it too much to ask that they teach you how to draw these toy mannequins?As an artist, you are able to copy and reproduce anything that was once already drawn. What's your problem, try to think with your head and draw the same mannequin in a different pose. Don't be a retard, try using your hands, eyes and brain.
>>7375234sigh. You have no idea what you're talking about. Well duh obiously it's doable. I was asking for some good references tho.
>>7375234>dude just visualize what someone would look like and then draw thatwow what a fucking genius idea, why do people have trouble drawing at all when they could just do that?oh wait, because NOBODY CAN FUCKING DO THATTHATS WHY CONSTRUCTION EXISTSTO BUILD SOMETHING YOU CAN'T IMAGINEWHAT DO YOU THINK THE MANNEQUIN IS FOR?IF THEY CAN JUST VISUALIZE SHIT IN A DIFFERENT POSE, THEN THEY'LL JUST DRAW THE FIGURE DIRECTLY
