is there much benefit to learning the manga "style" if you already study realism? like, does drawing manga help with mastering fundies?
I'm so tired of anime threads bros. The only reason you'd want to draw anime is if you want to get good at drawing anime. What are your goals?
>>7733238>a third evw thread has hit /ic/ this weekend
>>7733238do you like anime?
>>7733238The only distinctive feature of manga and anime are the faces, just learn normal cartoonistry and apply anime faces to it.
>>7733238Manga and stylization in general is good for learning design: shape, abstraction, simplification namely. Beyond that, anime and cartoons require strong form understanding so you know how forms modify according to spatial positioning. It also helps with invention which is a pretty nice skill to have, in life drawing sessions, you can rely on this knowledge to deal with hidden areas or to draw when the model takes a break or leaves.
>>7733238You'll never be Japanese, nigger..
>>7733238Why do you want to learn to draw something that's being absorbed by AI and leaving millions of Asians unemployed? Are you retarded?
>>7733330>absorbed by AI and leaving millions of Asians unemployedProofs?
>>7733238>is it worth making my drawings appealing to human beings
>>7733238All these "learn how to draw manga" books are made by westerners and not japs. I saw some in my local book store and all the "anime" characters were black people in a knock off anime artstyle

>>7733350>>7733353All this will do is create a premium Human-made market that will command outrageous prices as the skillset disappears from the worldSame thing happened once furniture and clothing became mass-manufactured, and when oil portrait painting became a rarity with the invention of the camera. Someone who can hand-craft an anime or comic will be commissioned for millions by richfags who want a premium one of a kind work that no AI model has been trained on.
>>7733238If you like the eyes go for it. Other than that the lineweight is the only other thing to study
>>7733350>>7733353Seems like heavy speculation. It's been five years now and there still hasn't been mass swaths of Japanese artists losing their jobs to ai, and no one gives a flying fuck about Chinese slop.This isn't even taking in consideration the manga market.
>>7733362>All this will do is create a premium Human-made market that will command outrageous prices as the skillset disappears from the world>Someone who can hand-craft an anime or comic will be commissioned for millions by richfags who want a premium one of a kind work that no AI model has been trained on.You dont really believe this, right.
>>7733378People said the camera would replace artists. Instead it lead to more creative, stylized works. If anything it made artists more valuable because realism became more boring and common to the masses.
>>7733373If anything it'll just shift things a bit rather than making artists obsolete like AIjeets think it will. iirc spiderverse movie animators used AI to speed up their workflow but still had a massive crew, and I can see something similar happening in anime studios if it hasn't already
>>7733346that's the best part of those books for me, that they're not manga art and can never teach you how to make manga art but still trying to sell themselves as manga art and seeing the artist with a clearly westernized style having to try and depict anime without really having a true understanding of it.
>it's Western, therefore it can't teach you animeDoes everyone on 4chan believe East Asians are magical beings?
>>7733510no, but you cannot deny that even the weebs that make how to draw manga books have western influences embeded in them from tumblr or deviantart depending on how far back it was made
>>7733508
>>7733510YesTop art is by the show's creatorBottom art is by the SK company who employed underpaid East Asians to animate the show.
>>7733513You're not an animator, you're not a magaka, you're not Japanese, you're not relevant to anyone, you defend a drawing style that you can't replicate or even make a profit from, you're just a filthy otraku.
>>7733258
>>7733538damn, better get started on my how to draw manga book then
>>7733631>perfect bodies>not a feral plaphog on the coverGrim
>>7733631that's not anime
>>7733588>massive cope spamming citationless image where the anime characters face is literally a emoticon with hairnobody is buying it
>>7733588basado. They will never get it because they're blind
Does ne1 else le kawaii anime? *Holds up spork, eats Pocky*
>>7733244There's no other artistic tradition alive today.
>>7733588god this quote is being misappropriated so hard by one fucker forcing it and i'll be honest with you chat, it's really grinding my gears>As you look at various things and purchase various knowledge, you will gradually grow. As you grow, your level of expression also increases. The "3-Month Improvement Method" is a way to forcibly shorten that period and raise the resolution level of your perception all at once. ■ Fo rc i n g t h e re s o l u t i o n u p>By focusing on a single picture for that period, the goal is to increase the resolution by paying careful attention to minor differences that would normally be overlooked.>To be honest, I don't think you will be able to tell the difference at first. You may even think, "If his pictures sell, why can't my pictures sell too? And yet, still, slowly, carefully... "What's so different... there must be some difference... maybe it's the eyes, maybe it's the hair... where is it? " And when you compare them thoroughly and come close to them, you will raise the resolution of your perception as if you are forcing a hole to widen.>As the resolution of your perception increases, you w i l l temporarily fall into a slump. It's no wonder that your eyes only become more discerning and your skills are unable to keep up. Once you are in this state, you can practice to catching with your technique and get out of the slump. This 3-Month Improvement Method is a super stoic act of forcing yourself into a slump, forcing yourself out of it, and then forcing yourself into a slump, and out of it again. Therefore, as anyone who has tried this method even for one round can tell you, it can be quite painful, with only a great sense of discomfort throughout the practice. I'm sure that many of you who have done this have thought about this along the way. "I want to use a lot of people as references, not just one person!" .

>>7733940>>7733961I am kneeling so hard right now brothers. The West will be free. President Trump will sign an executive order to make Calarts and other low res slop illegal.
>>7733973>continues to refer to a google docs page anon wrote himself in hopes to convince retards who dont check the sourceyou suck
>>7733988Is there a way for him to take credit for that? Because he'd only do it just so he could take credit for everything
>>7733384cope.Next you tell me AI will create more and better jobs.The you tell me the Luddites were wrong and being a weaver sucked.Everything goes to shit
>>7733238Probably to do something like this>>7733508>>7733631>>7733755>>7733588Show me the light and recommend me some good "how to draw manga" books.
>>7734508tfw I will never have a gf with nice boobs or a nice body. I will never experience the touch of true beauty.But perhaps I can one day draw it.
>>7734635Sexbots, genius. Infinite stamina. Infinite eagerness. Infinite flexibility. Infinite understanding of your body and preferences.
>>7734635it gets boring after a month
>>7734640my grandma used to say "they is only so many ways you can spit them pigs"
>>7734324Until it actually happens I don't see how it's cope.
