How did Inoue go from low /int/ in Slam Dunk to high /adv/ in Vagabond?
>>7994932He's only missing line quality and style here. Both of which come with mileage. Pretty common for high talent but inexperienced artists.
>>7994932probably had more assistants and more forgiving deadlines
>>7994932He was already really good from the start. I think shit Slam Dunk scans make you underestimate his skill level. Vagabond was drawn (painted) on larger paper, easier to add details.
>Inoue - Slam Dunk>low /intThis board...
>>7994932this might surprise you, anon, but he "just draw"-ed for 6 years.
>>7994971No freaking way, he drew consistently? For six years?!?!? There has to be another way.
>>7994976Being Japanese
>>7994984brb in 20 years, rerolling life.
drawing a lot every day helps
>>7994932Vagabond is based on a novel so he didn’t have to do much work writing and he could just focus on drawing.
>>7994932back then all you had to be was low ini and consistent. Most people couldn't even do that.
>>7994932Low /int/ but in comic format on a tight schedule while also writing a story is much harder than an /adv/ one-and-done painting for twitter likes btw
>>7994932That's what it means the "just draw" meme phrase. Being a mangaka/comic artist, forces you to draw the same shit all day every day, non-stop, no rest, no escape. You're bound to refine your shit by sheer pure and unadulterated infinite iteration. You can't escape the never ending grind, and the mangaka/comic artist grind is the most brutal out there.
>>7994932Does anything good ever come from constantly classifying yourself as beg, int and pro and preventing yourself from ever doing anything until you reach some arbitrary skill goal? I honestly feel like sometimes if I didn't discover this place during covid I would've made my own stuff already that might've done fairly decent even if the art wasn't outstanding
if I was placed in 90s japan I would have made the biggest manga of all time, easily surpassing top 3. And I'm talking original ideas, I would deliberately not step on the toes of upcoming series.
>>7995211Since you missed that chance in time, can you tell us about your story?
>>7995230I would write something from scratch when I get transported there.
