As a beginner should I draw random skeletons and muscles and then move to drawing anime girls or shit out many anime girls constantly from my head even if they look terrible
>>
Go to websites like quickposes or line of action and do gesture sketches. Put some music or a podcast on and just grind. You can do each pose for 2 minutes or 30 seconds or however long you like! If a pose is super hard and you cant get it right - put a star next to it and move on. Try it again a few weeks later

gesture drawing while not understanding what the fuck you're doing is just copying lines

gesture is about simplifying construction to as simple as possible, but if you have 0 understanding of construction there is nothing to even simplify
>>
>>7743206
Uhhhhh no? Its not that complicated bro. Just draw the poses and you'll improve.
>>
>>7743188
You need to draw everything. Different approaches train different skills, you need a lot of different skills if you wanna draw anime girls.

What book is this from?

>>7743338
it's in the filename

Sorry, was phoneposting

This is so god damn stupid and needlessly complicated. I see why this board sucks
>>
>>7743374
can you explain why it's stupid and needlessly complicated? it makes sense to me
>>
>>7743374
It’s not needlessly complicated. You pick one approach and farm that for gains until you hit a wall then switch.
This is a menu of options not a manual. It may not be the best rotation for cross training but it’s better than autistic mono focus where the gains stop and you ragequit.

>>7743188
OP you should draw what you like so you don’t burnout. Analyze your doodles for their biggest weakness and school yourself on that. Repeat until forever I guess.

It makes sense to you?? "What kind of drawing practice do you have?" What does that mean. What does that even mean. Is he asking if an art teacher has given you practice to do and you are now putting that practice in a category? Does it mean what you should be practicing? Your weaknesses? Huh?? Okay next: "Drawing practice includes Design, Drawing, Reproduction, and Two-dimensional drawing. " Slowly read those 4 things to yourself a few times. Okay next: "Sketching" (what happened to design? Isn't Design one of the four quarters of Drawing practice?) So sketching is reproducing the skeleton, muscles, and shadows. Wow so that's what sketching is huh. Ok. Now on to the next pillar of Drawing practice: """Drawing"""" Wow! What's drawing?? Quickly capture the silhouette and reproduce it in a few lines. Hmmm Okay cool. So should I be sketching or drawing? What about Design? Hmm well what's the third pillar. Reproduction. Cool Okay let me go analyze some drawing structures and determine the techniques used. Techniques like sketching and drawing? Okay. Now the final pillar of drawing practice! 2d Drawing! Okay cool so how do we practice this?? Poses and features are extracted and reproduced in a two dimensional picture. Hmmmm Okay. Cool. That definitely means something! Time to start drawing practice! Like.... are you a bot? Is English your second language? How the fuck do you read this shit? This is worse than horoscopes. None of this entire page means fuck all. Its a Japanese guy using google translate to sell total nonsense and make a quick buck from gullible fucking retards
>>

It's from a book, there's more info in the pages before and after it. You'd need to read the whole chapter to get all the context. It's translated from Japanese but you can understand what he means if you're not slow and have any experience drawing. You just sound retarded.

In order to draw an anime girl correctly you have to become shogun of Japan.
Unless you're already Japanese.

Imagine if he made pure nip gems instead of trying to appeal to (((Hollywood))) and Esptein type storytelling
>>
>>7743460
It's literally just saying: Study from life, learn to simplify things quickly, copy other art and analyze how the artist drew it, and then put that all together to create a finished illustration. It's not that hard to understand you're just a retard who's overthinking for no reason
>>

westoid reading comprehension award

>>7744867
No it isn't. Why are you doing this? Why are you clinging to this bullshit and making up what it says? Why? Why dude? Theres an endless amount of incredible resources and teachers online. Why the fuck are you clinging to this retarded nonsense???
>>
>>7745310
>No it isn't
You wouldn't know because you can't fuckin read
