I've been reading his book from front to back and he promises "mad gains" if you follow his method, but I look at the examples and the "progress" seems rather underwhelming
The only difference in pic related is that he actually bothered to draw the background
>>
This is how he advertises his method at the beginning (which is a narrow version of master studies basically)
>>
Yes, welcome to all art instruction. I hope you don't fucking pay for any of it.

It wouldn't be that bad if he didn't promise so much

I'm just evaluating his examples

This one got progress, but after 25 rounds....
One round = 3 months

>>7422198
I have never found a single tutorial made by a Japanese useful at all. It's always the Chinese or Koreans that genuinely want to help you.

It looks really good

>>7422198
maybe you should try grifter-san's 1 month improvement if the 3 month improvement didn't work
>>
>>7422215
iirc one round means one round of doing artwork, comparing flaws with the artist of choice, picking the thing you're most lacking at and then repeat.
If that takes you 3 months then I don't know what to say.
Anyway pyw

>>7422219
One example says that he did 2.5 rounds.
If he's using decimals it implies that rounds are time based.
What would be a 0.5 round mean if it was one artwork?
>>
>>7422250
It means the guy asked was in the middle of a round when "interviewed".
Read page 92 of the book you're seething at.
pyw
>>
>>7422219
He doesn't say anything about what the 0.5 means. It's obvious that the 0.5 means one month and half.
The author doesn't even bother defining what a round is, and the method is called "3 month improvement method". Obviously a round means three months.

And he says you have to stick to one artist during the 3 month period (wich seems to imply further what a round is).

>Page 92
He says you can use your own time frame, fair. But if all the artists in the examples are using their own time frame for "rounds", then the book is misleading.

Yeah anon.
It's called the "three month method".
He tells you to stick to one artist for 3 months
But there's no way, no wayyyyy that one round means three months. No way.
>>
>>7422276
Look at my ss. >>7422277

The artist calls it the three month improvement method, talks about dedicating weeks to it, and uses 2.5. These three things would make sense if he counted 3 months as a round. If he used 0.5 to refer to being in the middle of a session (nobody does this) it would make no sense :DD

If he made 2 pieces and half, it wouldn't make sense to post gains. Nobody post gains after two pictures

Your argument is akin to saying

The book is just telling people to do master studies, and stick to a particular master as to keep focused. Are you implying master studies don't work?
The rest of the book is just motivation and quick tips.

Your "problem" is that you don't like the guy and/or the way he presents his ideas, and that's more than fine but don't pretend otherwise

I changed my mind.
I simply missed a fundamental part of the book which explains what I round is.
I thought that these people got their gains after months of work lol.
The gains are fine since they are after making a few pictures.
In fact, the 2.5 dude is fine after making 2 and half pictures.
I'll leave the thread up in shame

That's because you only watch YouTube and hoard courses (aka paid YouTube). Mignon, hitakaku, and Yanami are all Japanese and have AMAZING books. You just haven't looked at the right place

You are am average course hoarder. It isn't rocket science. And that was a typo I meant Mignon. That typo doesn't change the fact the 3 are japanese and are fantastic. And you are wrong. So instead of acting like a crab you should be grateful I pointed you to great resources. Instead of blaming the japanese for your failures.

Sorry, not sorry. Japan lost. They hardly make good games anymore, getting beat by glorious China. Webtoon will surpass manga by 2030. Youtube animation from Korea is rising. More and more animation talent from the east is being sucked up into Netflix's palm.

It's over. I hope your resolution is to learn Hangul and or Mandarin.

>Nobody actually draws a head using that shogi chip method

bro...You gotta be kidding. 90% of cute anime heads can be drawn with that method becuase it perfectly summarizes the jaw in every angle. I would concede you had a point if you meant the super complec way he draws the top of the head or his upper stiff body drawing method. But the shogi peice advice is pure gold.hell I still use the shogi piece to this day.

An overtly complex way to draw 1 type of facial structure as not every face is a shogi piece. If you enjoy drawing a variety of things (including face types), it's worthless imo.

Dude most of those faces can easily be drawn with the shogi piece. Easily. That's true for all the femalea. You might have a point if you had used capeshit or Carl arts. You have a slight point with 3 of the makes. But even then you can just adapt and make a thicker chin. No big deal.
>>
>>7422488
Btw this anime girl you posted here can easily and effectively he drawn with that shogi piece method. Hitokaku does have flaws but you are nitpicking one of his best advice. If you had told me he makes the top of the head overtly complex or his stiff body method you might have a point. But dismissing the shogi piece method is just being a crab

Most of his recent videos have English closed captions, I think. Look up on his playlist. That video you posted is in Croquis playlist. Since he is an animator, his approach might be different from Naoki Saito (an illustrator). I like hide more since the way he constructs his drawings is very useful for every situation (animator, mangaka, illustrator).

How can you even compare these pieces? In the "after" pic of >>7422277 the figures are cropped closely so most of the figure is not even drawn. The author seems to measure progress by how much rendering and how many fancy lighting effects and details are crammed into a work (which, to be fair, is also how much of /ic/ thinks). This has nothing to do with drawing.

Ask a beginner to draw a full standing nude figure from imagination. Then, after a period of study and training, have him draw the same thing. You can judge the gains or lack thereof.

If it's a matter of "illustration" versus "drawing," then the before and after should at least be illustrating the same idea or concept, so a different pose or expression or cropping can at least be justified as an attempt to better convey said idea or concept.

@7423636
yes it does. I personally like pic 2 but the improvement in his skill is noticeable. also you're missing that the definition of good includes closeness to the artist he's copying and displaying a deeper understanding of that style.
westerners often think that if there is no universal formula to decide which image is better in all cases then they all must be roughly the same (a coping mechanism to undermine objective beauty and make tumblr cartoon slop/korean/chinese imitations appear to be on the level of quality of anime)

kek, why do westoids think every metaphor/analogy is supposed to be le soience? why do they not seem to understand that English is not the original language of the book and they're reading a translation?
it's a word that perfectly describes an existing concept you find in artists of lower skill levels. in this case it perfectly describes OP's inability to perceive existing differences.

You don't have low CR or high CR
Paying attention is an activity not something you have. The thing he describes doesn't exist.

Let me repeat it:

He describes a "condition" that some people have that doesn't allow them to see differences. This condition can be improved if you use grifter-san's method.

Paying attention is simply an activity, not something you have.

So yes, his concept is non existent.

Oh he has a very specific version of master studies

Other artists such a James Gurney recommend studying several artists at the same time

So there's a clash already there...

Other artists suggest modifying the style of your master to your own taste

So it's a very specific type of master study

James doesn't draw anime. Also he's only saying to do master studies for a few rounds to keep focused. Most people start jumping from artist to artist without learning anything. Only James' advice seems to assume people know what to do, Naomi's advise assume people are retarded.
>Other artists suggest modifying the style of your master to your own taste

You are supposed to mimic as close as possible the style of your chosen artist in each round, thats what I was talking about.

>>7424105
If you read the book he says that his method is like a drug that will make you improve faster than anyone else and blah blah
That's what bothers me. If it was just about doing master studies, that would be fine, but he advertises it like it's a magic pill or whatever
And then you see the examples of "progress'" and its lame as he'll

Again, it doesn't help that his fans make strawman about "westoids" (because disliking one Japanese artist means disliking all Japan apparently) and telling you that you have low Cr or whatever come on
>>
Holy shit you people are stupid
>>
>>7424112
>That's what bothers me.
The say that and be done with it. You're looking for any "logical" excuse to dislike it. Just say you don't like how he presents what is nothing more than "do master studies"
It may be logical to us in an art critique board but most people don't know how to learn. Most people don't know what a master study is either.
>>
>>7424105
And I'm gonna clarify everything

My main point was that he promises way to much in a way that can deceive naive people. But when you see the examples of "progress" the progress was rather underwhelming.

Then I committed a mistake, I admit, by thinking that a round lasted 3 months.

Then his fans started accusing me of having "low cognitive resolution" for thinking that the OP improved very little (at least he draws backgrounds, everything notice how all the backgrounds are blurry?).

And this is the main problem, his method basically can't fail because he or his fans can cop out by saying some shit a out CR.

Keep in mind that any of them could prove me wrong by posting their progress through his method.

That's all

I don't even know what you're talking about now, but the existence of some Chinese/Koreans/Americans that mimic Japanese art well will never change the fact that most of them draw pseudoanime (like the Korean or whatever teachers mentioned above). This is slowly changing due to the influence of Japanese art on the world and more people are learning the legitimate way to draw anime.
If you can't see the difference between the pseudoanime styles of Korean/Chinese/American origin and the real thing from Japan then it's not worth a discussion.
>>
>>7425416
Westroons forgot that the purpose of art is to make beautiful things. They have been castrated, corrupted and cucked. They try to control what you can draw, how and why. Evil promotes ugliness, evil/broken people harm themselves and try to destroy any beauty that others create.

The problem with his advice is Naoki Saito went to art school and was a professional illustrator/painter before he started drawing cute girls.
He basically advocates master study, in a sense you learn and emulate your favorite artist's art style.
His starting point and a beginner's starting point are very very different. There's a huge gap there.
Of course, even if you're a beginner who can't draw a reasonable-looking ellipses, you'll still learn something following Naoki Saito's method. You just won't get to that professional quality art in 3 months. Perhaps if you have access to a good community. But there's no such thing any more online or offline.

I think any general enough method that isn't the very basics will have this. Different people will necessarily have different starting points and aptitudes but the general path still remains the same for all.
If we consider authentic anime results as the ultimate goal, those who went to Western art school will have a much easier time than someone who never picked up a pencil only if they are willing to drop all of their preconceived notions (already a miracle). I think many people might genuinely be unrecoverable and unsuitable for anime because of the subversion >>7425561 talks about.

Bro, what loyalty? Getting back to the tutorial shit, do you see an abundance of anime focused courses within the last 5 years from Japanese people for western consumers or is it from the Koreans and Chinese and westerners who pass the smell test?

You have to choke the neck of a Jap just to get some sort of information on their authentic process. You had >>7422452 this anon have to dumpster dive for only 4 teachers whereas there are plenty of good sources outside of Japan. It shouldn't have to be this way if they're the powerhouse of the medium.

All while getting beat in every corner but 2D animation, also within the last 5 years. This decade is where we will finally see a shift. And I'm not even going to talk about how Japan themselves keep shooting their own feet with their own decisions as this is not the thread (or board) for that.

Also tutorials are about art styles. It doesn't matter that some Korean can draw legitimate anime when your tutorials teach inauthentic imitations. Is this really the hill worth dying on?

> It doesn't matter that some Korean can draw legitimate anime when your tutorials teach inauthentic imitations

As I said, your definition of authenticity is rooted in racism. I already mentioned long before we had shows like Tower of God and Solo Leveling, legitimate Japanese studio dabbled with Korean IP. Their talent rivaled what was on the market back then. Now present day Japan is open more and more to foreign talent outside of Asia.

It's not about the DNA of the person who drew some random Love Live character--Japanese art has become an industry standard in animation and games in Asia. Fundamentals of anime can be taught and understood by a Korean and Chinese if their work is good enough to land roles in said industry.

As for my outburst against Japan--that's me being angry that Japanese people gatekeep and withhold these industry standards. I shouldn't have to go to a Korean to learn them when, like I said before, they're the powerhouse of (mostly) everything. It's hard to find info from Japan but it's increasingly more easy from non-Japanese with vetted experience. And no /ic/ idiot is going to tell me that someone who actually worked on seasonal shows is "not authentic" because they're not walking on the soil of nagoya.

My definition of authenticity is rooted in artstyle. The tutorials you fight for and mentioned above teach unauthentic styles. The fact that Koreans exist who can draw anime for Japanese studios doesn't change this fact.

I don't care about video games being bad. This isn't /v/. Authenticity and integrity of anime artstyles goes beyond some company doing something bad. You were making much more grand claims before about "Japan losing" and such, about being beaten in their own medium in the sense of art. That's the only reason why I brought into question your anime credentials in the first place.
I admire your desire to work in anime. But there are already so many attacks on anime, the whole western world is persecuting anime. In these times we need as many people fully loyal to japanese artstyles as possible.

Why would you disagree with that? A Japanese instructor would dismiss figure construction taught to this degree. They'll wing it and tell you some osmosis shit that's unhelpful. But people like them and Krenz teach perspective and how to rotate the figure. I have no idea why you'd hate on this.

Maybe it's a personal issue and not an issue of Japan being bad. Do whatever works for you as long as the result is authentic, but please don't say those named examples are authentic anime styles or that Japanese are bad for not catering to westerners.
Japanese animators are being trained by other Japanese so how does the existence of other resources make Japanese teachers not useful?

You have a different definition of authentic. Those non-Japanese teachers worked on >Japanese< anime and >Japanese< games. They are authentic in the sense that they made it into the homeland and I will learn from them simply because Japanese people themselves are not sharing their secrets as readily available with foreigners as much as the rest of Asia who all use the >industry standard< of the anime style.

Resumes and opinions are absolutely worthless over the artstyle considered in and of itself. No amount of coping over names in the credits of Japanese works will make a pseudoanime style into anime.
If a person can draw anime and has drawn anime but choses to draw pseudoanime, his pseudoanime works doesn't become anime by association.

It's strange, local nationalists are fighting with a japanese dick in their mouths for the fact that only the Japanese can draw anime, it's not about whether others draw anime badly or not, no matter how you or others draw you still won't be considered people, it's not about style, you probably also think that the illustrator of Monogatari is not the one who makes real anime because he is chinese

the views I hold were already discussed above, I can't be bothered to reexplain it to someone who has an anti-anime agenda and wants to strawman our positions
>>
>>7429151
I know why you don't answer, because if you admit that he draws true and real anime and exists in the anime industry, it will shake your pride and love for Japan, because someone who is not Japanese is invading this industry. But if you say that he draws fake anime, you will have to accept the fact that even being in the anime industry and not being Japanese, you cannot make real anime, which means it does not matter how Westerners and Koreans draw anime, because Japanese scum will not accept any of this, no matter how perfect and it looks like they did not draw. That's why you do not want to answer this question, you with a Japanese dick in your mouth splash your saliva about the power of anime, what makes it real, etc. but subconsciously you understand that the Japanese do not care about your love, your efforts and how deeply you immerse yourself in their culture, because you are not a person to them, the proof of this is that the Japanese are focused on teaching themselves and not others. So there is no point in trying to "be Japanese" because they don't care about your love and your creativity.

Japanese people like…for example… Amazing Digital Circus, RWBY, PPG, Tom and Jerry, Top Gun, cowboy movies, etc. If you make a good product, they will pick it up.

You are doing this because you know that I told the truth and you don’t want to lose your love for the Japanese who don’t consider you a human being.
>>7429289
In Japan there are gays who love LGBT, and those you are talking about are not the core of the anime audience, RWBY is not even recognized as anime on this site, the Japanese don't care what style you have, for them you are the same logs, so your attacks on the fact that someone is not trying hard enough to be like Japan are stupid, you are not Japanese and no one cares about you, so why indulge these island creatures and try to make them love you? In principle, I am against Koreans, Chinese and Westerners loving and creating their own anime or copying the Japanese, by doing this they are only indulging Japanese propaganda.
>>
>>7429305
RWBY has had an anime adaptation by Shaft—the most Japanese studio you can get with works like Madoka Magica and the Monogatari series. It’s even been featured in Blaz Blue Crosstag Battle, billboards in Akiba, and in Japanese theaters. I know you have trannies wired in your head 24/7/365 but it’s popular enough there.

>attacks

I don’t know how you take my posts like this. I’m not trying to get Japanese to love me. Let me break it down for you to make this easier.

1. Anime has become an industry standard of stylization and we credit Japan for this and nothing more. This does not mean I want to learn Japanese, fly to Japan, marry a Japanese girl and start a family while living in the heart of Tokyo working on episode 4380 of One Piece.

2. I have barely met a Japanese person IRL (or maybe I just can’t tell them apart) in America. I have no first hand experience with a Japanese. The only thing I care about is their pop culture. Hey, if Korea makes good content that is homage to the INDUSTRY STANDARD (this is key here) STYLE that is ANIME then fantastic. This does not make me “anti-anime”.

3. Shitting on Japan is perfectly acceptable. I don’t owe Japan my undying devotion, love, and support for every single thing they put out. That does not make me “anti-anime”. That doesn’t mean I “fell out” for anime. That doesn’t not mean anything you’re insinuating. It means I can crit some things wrong that they do in the sub culture.

>I am against koreans, chinese and westerns loving and creating their own anime or copying the Japanese….propaganda

Free country. Free will. Japan made a good thing, the world copies it. You’re starting to sound like a 90 year old WW2 veteran who lost a leg in a trench fighting the yellow menace.
>>
>>7429318
Adaptations are made to make money from American weeaboo, like screen adaptations of European fairy tales in the theater of world masterpieces in Europe for money, or the creation of that anti-capitalist anime ghost ship with very possible funding from the USSR in 1969, money, money, money they need money from foreign fans. Apparently you are not those /a/ scumbags and see anime only as a style, then there are fewer questions for you, and it looks like you are another normie who accepts Japanese self-hatred and forgives everything. Korea and China should not indulge in the spread of anime propaganda because it is direct propaganda of Japan, the Japanese have not changed much since WW2, thanks to the American occupation that did not arrange a purge in the upper echelon, it is a pity that the Japanese are not perceived as Germans now, these scumbags deserve more suffering, just delve into the lyrics of the song senbonzakura and you will understand that for the Japanese you are an evil spirit that should be exorcised.
>>
>>7429336
>Korea and China should not indulge in the spread of anime propaganda because it is direct propaganda of Japan, the Japanese have not changed much since WW2

Gramps, how did you find your way onto /ic/? If you touched Chinese gacha at all they’re not spreading Japanese propaganda but Chinese propaganda. The style is just used because it’s widely accepted, tested, and still can be improved and experimented on. We didn’t have the achievements of Arc System Works on what 2D blended with 3D 10 years ago or things like Live 2D making it easier to do simple to complex animations on still images.

Anime looks better than it ever did 20 years ago and only improving. If China wants to use what’s trending when it comes to anime then they can.

If they harbor hate and want to exterminate Americans that’s fine, too. I don’t care. I only care about the cartoons. And besides, at the end of the day we occupy them. They’re Americas bitch and they listen to us.
