Why You Should Copy Anime:https://i.imgur.com/zNDsyF0.jpgNaoki Saito: https://youtu.be/8jsZGeaWkhE?si=6HZIvG9Bx3y9qoHs&t=12AnimeShijuku: https://twitter.com/animesijyuku/status/1717415459778347358Krenz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbKqIJcIUCw**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.**Recommended Resources:https://pastebin.com/Yz2scAEc/mmg/ - Manga Making General:>>>/ic/mmgPrevious Thread:>>7684653

>>7730883Very small changes can have significant effects on the impression given. The bottom head for example looks like the eyes are turned downward, but the reference eyes are looking forward. Mostly it's because of the difference in eye shape, but I suspect the accumulation of many small differences over the whole face are contributing.I will focus on anatomy first before continuing. I think I would have learned twice as much if I understood everything I was copying.
>>7731937Yurine is a shit.
There was an attempt.I didn't realize the reference was AI until I started copying it but it is still better than me so I learned a few things anyway.
>>7732786>I didn't realize the reference was AIwe've reached the end
>>7732787You will never compete with Ai. Ai just learned to crawl, soon it will be in a full sprint. If you aren't drawing because you enjoy it, you aren't going to make it.
>>7732787It's more that I wasn't paying attention to detail until I started drawing and then I just decided to continue anyway because of the sunk cost fallacy.
>>7732789Good morning saar!
>>7732799Good morning shitter in denial.
>>7732801Good saar, two more weeks. India will make drawing anime like in Japan guaranteed saar.
>>7732848But Ai is already better than you. No need to wait.
>>7732850It's not, less there would be no need to scrape my data and sell it or the dying need to access my brain. Glowies and techies are boiling excrement out their ears 24/7 and this simple fact.
>>7731959lel
>>7732789I'd disagree. Ai is free to use. I hate people so Ai will allow people to create their own mistakes. It only benefits a few select people as a crutch. People like Sam Altman want you to believe that Ai is important and that it'll change your life for the better. Denying the fact these guys haven't fucked their wives in years. Ai will never replace a skilled human.
>>7732850Good morning saar, please pay for anime commission. Really indisitinguishable from Japan original saar! Good quality for your value!
>>7732786It does look like AI shit. Some retarded scamming "artists" think they can get away with tracing slop, but you can never take away the slop look from slop.
Asg has fallen, grim....
>>7733306Then post something. The Ai threads are full of art.
>>7732416Nice studies anon! Please do more Araragi or other monogatari series character studies. It's always great to see more of art of that aesthetic, it's just so peak...
Anime is AI food, a waste of time.
Her beauty will remain in our heart forever

prob random, but does anyone know if the aritst __meshigaumai came back under a new handle or something? i keep seeing his stuff pop up on pinterest
>>7733722Thank you, I will definitely come back to it after I learn some fundamentals or whenever I have extra time.>It's always great to see more of art of that aesthetic, it's just so peak...Can you put into words what makes it so good? I think it would be ideal to draw while focusing on what makes it appealing, but I can't seem to pinpoint why I like it.
