Guys... I really need your help. I wanna learn to draw in semi-realistic anime style. I have been trying to teach myself for the past 1 year. I tried the coloso chyan, mogoon, ritotuna courses.. but they didn't really help. I can't draw shit now. I wanna master this skill. And i am ready to put in the one.. Please suggest what i should do. Any resources i should refer to anything.
Thanks for reading this. Hope you have a good day:)

It's gonna sound boring but if you want any amount of realism in your art you'll want to practice fundamentals. Boxing, construction, perspective. You'll also want to copy the shit out of whatever artists you like.
>I tried the coloso chyan, mogoon, ritotuna courses..
Don't pick too many teachers at once especially if you're starting out. Get one course/book/whatever and stick with it.

You’re over complicating things. Study FAPS. It will teach you everything you need to know to draw competently: Form, Anatomy, Perspective and Style. You don’t really need anything else, just mileage the fuck out of FAPS and you’ll do fine.

Russians are sloppers now. All the realistic academic courses are by chinks

semi-realistic anime is the definition of slop, I don't understand your argument

FAPS = Form, Anatomy, Perspective, Style. Form = drill the ability to draw a box from various angles, manipulate 3d shapes by carving into them, etc. Anatomy = understanding of the human body + lots of figure drawing. Perspective = understanding the pattern/formula of vanishing points implicitly and how objects are affected by them. Style = copying whatever artists style you want to have, noting the shapes and ways of describing form. None of these have to be perfect or mastered but they should be practiced regularly.

Its over for you OP

>>7777580
Thank you. I'm taking your advice and gonna start practicing forms and FAPS drills. Thanks for the info anon

It might be a reasonable idea to stop drawing.

Anon i am suffering from aphantasia.
I've given up on some of the things i enjoyed doing. And i can wholeheartedly say this... I have never ever loved anything more than art. I literally have this enthusiasm alive which hasn't been affected a bit after all the stuff i wrnt through. I fr had some moments where i hated how much i am incapable of doing it. But nevertheless i an enthusiastic to improve my art

Every day do at least three reference studies and when you do them do NOT undo, do NOT erase. Think about each line before you draw it and try to draw it right the first time. If it's wrong just carry on and finish the drawing. It's going to look bad at first but if you stick with it you'll learn how to properly use your eyes and hands when drawing.

Thanks for the advice anon. Will do stick to it
