>>7999794Should've put the smut artwork into the OP. Now nobodies gonna visit this general anymore.
Quick sketch before bed. Really misjudged the sizing and proportions here. Any tips on drawing both eyes properly? I always mess up the second eye I draw. I know I'm suppose to imagine the eye as a 3d form but I can tell I fucked it up with the right eye and also didn't place it along the curve of the head accurately.
Everyone here seems to be learning to draw anime girls but this is Anime Study General, are there any resources for learning how to draw backgrounds and other objects? I want to move beyond 1girl white void.
Is it considered cheating to zoom in on tablet to do details and get lines as neat as possible?
>>8001128no but if you're a beginner the details don't matter so it's a waste of time
>>8001123sakugaboorusearch background_design or just search an anime you like
>>8001128Nah. It's one of those things where people will claim it makes you develop bad habits, but it's definitely not "cheating"
>>8001128it's would say it's pretty much necessary for precise anime inking.for roughing it can be harmful because you lose track of the bigger picture more easily, it becomes harder to balance the gesture of one part with everything else.but in either case having the image up on a second monitor or unzooming frequently to check your work is good.

>>8001697>>8001807Thanks, I have absolutely no knowledge on the subject, guess I will do some reading to soak some up.
i got bankrupted. because i have to pay 98% of my income to insurance which my dad assigned
>>8001123Im not going to teach you shit you fucking faggot. Fuck these threads. Kill yourself.
This might not be relevant because it's not a "study"; it's just me drawing fan art. But I often struggle to draw fan art. I can draw my own characters and stuff easy, because I know what they look like and I can bend them to match my intention. But with defined characters that aren't my own I struggle so much. Like here when I drew Prince Adam I couldn't figure out how to draw his face and make it look like him. I tried a more defined nose, defined cheek bones and bigger lips but it just looked bad so I went with basically a "generic" face with no real detail. Does anyone else struggle with that?
>>8002447Ok, NGMI permabeg schizo. Have fun wasting time with crabbing. Instead of actually drawing. PYW
When am I allowed to start drawing cute girls? I started 6 months ago on /beg/ and I'm getting tired of drawing people in weird poses every day.
>>8003067pyw
>>8003073>2 hours laterThey never do.
>>8003067from day 1
7998790Just look up @icantdravv on Twitter or on danbooru. He's the guy who goes " uhhh you need more Loomis sweetie" with esl typing but good redlines
>>8003516>>good redlines>look it up>expect legit anime since the anime thread said it's good o algo>it's gaijin-imeevery single time.anon you need to seriously reconsider what you consider good if you care about anime. there is no legitimate reason for anyone interested in anime to draw like that and shill these crippled styles.
>>8003523DanDan gets tens of thousands of likes on xitter and you get 0 so your point is invalid
>>8003523PywAlso how that Twitter nigga gajin-anime If he spoke exclusively in nihongo you'd be sucking his dick tooWhat are some concrete fundamental problems that make his art bad and not "anime enough"
@8003525>appeal to the masses fallacylikes are not a legitimate justification for anything my lil bro.>>8003528>What are some concrete fundamental problems that make his art bad and not "anime enough"overly simplified linework and shapes compared to what you wound find in anime are the biggest giveaway for gaijinime. download any anime settei and zoom in to see how they do the actual linework on it and compare side-by-side to any example of gaijinime drawing the same body part and you will see the difference in which one is fundamentally more refined and complex. even more skilled gaijin tend to just ignore a lot of linework complexity that anime obsesses over so it always looks gaijiny. there is nothing you can do to catch up to this difference in quality without consciously trying to make it more japanese (which is why the more based people shill saito naoki's method here).if you actually try this I can discuss further with you.>If he spoke exclusively in nihongo if you can't tell it's gaijin-ime just from the thumbnail and you haven't just discovered anime this year with frieren or csm kek you need to reconsider what you've been doing so far in terms of studying japanese artists. not saying this an insult but a wakeup call if you care at all about anime.
unironically it all comes down to perceptual or cognitive resolution.memorize this quote as a guiding light.with gaijin there is a hard limit they just won't go beyond in terms of examining their shape and linework. at some point it becomes good enough for them and they can't make further distinctions, while Japan obsesses *literally* over every single sub-part of a line and how that actually looks on the screen. the westerner is usually satisfied with roughly following "anatomy" and having "correct forms" but anime goes further because it is high resolution art.
lmfao this nodraw faggot is back at it
>>8003555Checked trvke.
>>8003516>>8003525Jumping in to share my thoughts. You're annoying. And I could care less about FateShit/Go! You larping his name or if you're actually Dan is annoying too. Using Twitter likes to brag is also dumb.Likes do help but I've already run out of patience with likes and have moved onto the next best thing. Good day sir!
I came back to further elaborate why I don't like FateShit/Go. Not to attack the artist but just look at this weird ass comment. They do get likes and therefore anything fate will get likes. There's a bot on Twitter that promotes fate posts with a large following. I tried to abuse it before but couldn't get it's attention like I could with the NeoPets bot. Other than that, FateShit is associated with a traumatic event in my life when I lost my dog to a car accident. Somehow Final Fantasy Dissidia on the PSP help me get the stress off. Keep that in perspective in mind. That's how old fate is, it's from a movie "Kara no kyokai" I only watched it because DemolisiousDPlus recommended it. That was from a long ass time ago. Also fate has this weird fetish with masters and servents. That just fosters abusive relationship and I don't like it. I believe in sexual equality, no pegging please. I've also had a traumatic incident with my ass too when I ate too many of those gummies.
Imagine how much better these threads could be if this faggot finally necked himself
>>8003645Don't you have hentai games to make big boy? If you couldn't get the fate bot to retweet you then you just suck
I saw people keep sharing this technique, but I don't really think it's that good though because every artist already knows how to do generic shading like this. It only gives the illusion of having dramatic, making it look more like AI generated.
>>8003651The concepts are fundamentally solid except for obnoxious overuse of subsurface scattering and light spray effects on 4-5. Subsurface scattering only occurs on skin and semi translucent materials like wax, thin clothes or leaves.
>>8003645jesus fucking kill yourself, didnt read it btw

Can you guys have a look at my loli drawing before I start rendering please? I'm not super happy with the torso.https://files.catbox.moe/5gq1iu.png
>>8004159Cute!
>>8004226Technically speaking everything is ogre.... but some ''quick fixes'' would be...Her neck cannot bend like that while her spine is straight/flat on the grtound , so her ribcage should bend a bit, consequently part of her chest would be more vissible....however.... this would make her tummy flex inwards a bit.... so that should change too...And the pelvis perspective is different from the torso perspective... not by much tho.you need to take into account the curves of the body in all angles, in my redline(black) the torso looks like its not flat on the ground but it is, it's just the countour of the waist that makes it look that way.tldr: ugggghh rooomis vilpuuuu sweatie!!!!!!11111111
>>8004329Thank you sooo much anon, this is great. I wanted to have Coco reclining on Agott's legs sorta, but it didn't really work out. I'll see what I can do.

1 hour for each head (tried to be as accurate as possible)Feeling like the Loomis method for such stylized art styles is really useless and I should just focus on measurements and shapes alone
>>8010652Careful, the construction schizos gonna say you have a mental sickness.
>>8010652The redpilled path is copying settei lines directly. The moment you realize you don't need le construction when copying and you can just draw the lines immediately is the moment you have become freed from the constructoid psyop.
>>8010796cool now draw the same face from different angle
>>8010801Idk what this is supposed to mean, you realize settei have all the main angles?
>>8010802it shouldn't be difficult to draw an angle that's not in the settei thengo ahead
>>8010818Idk what you're even implying at this point, you realize you can use the knowledge gained from all those angles to draw new ones? At no point do you need to constrooct when copying those angles, you are free like pic related to copy the lines directly.
>>8010773>NOOOOOO CONSTRUCT GODS PLEASE DON'T RAPE MY COPYSSY IT WAS ONLY 1 HOURlol... in a hour dozens of forms could have been felt instead all he got was shitty xerox attempt.Such many cases sadly, copyfags claim another victim, another lost soul trapped in the ngmi bucket.
>>8010841>dozens of formsForms are irrelevant to anime thoughbeit. They are goy feed for the faux anime crowd to cope with it.
>>8010842Yet 100% of all anime styles are based on them. Obviously you are baiting but there are people out there that may actually unironically believe this then they fall in the copy ngmi pit, and once they realize the brvtal reality of their mistakes they become yet another ghoul that will haunt /ic/ with shit like le talent, asian jeans, le old drawfag,etc...
>forms?
>>8010848>formsFaux anime energy. You cannot draw anime.>ghoul that will haunt /ic/ forms and faux anime goyslop like constrooction are haunting /ic/ as is. I long for the day when goyslop isn't shilled and everyone on 4chan can just draw anime normally like the Japanese. I guess the day may never come because western emotional baggage is just too ingrained into the average 'channer, but irregardless... the redpilled among us will make it through.
>>8010868taco is arbiter wolf coded.
>>8010868To use a food analogy, a big mac with some fries once in a while won't hurt a healthy person, but it might become a morbidly obese person's last meal.If it's not clear, the healthy person is Japan where drawing anime is commonplace, the morbidly obese person is the US where this skill is an almost unheard of miracle.>noo I need to constrooct! just like everyone around me tells me to! im a good little boy! nevermind that they can't draw anime!You are the fat guy clinging to the big mac when there is a healthy meal available and freely offered to you.
>>8010868Some of the best gains were made from this book. God tier teacher.
Anyone else here with a hobby of researching the long term effects of constrooction on the human mind?Everyone knows about the average controoctoid on /ic/ already, but lately I've been fascinated with this subject who has over 10k hours of drawing experience, but whose mind has been heavily modified by constroocting over an extended period of time so as to display an undeniable faux anime corruption to his creations even after all these hours and even after being tutored directly by an illustrator from Japan. I don't think it is a case of pic related with him and otherwise he has all the qualities needed to be fully Japanese tier. He might be the most valuable sample so far in my investigations.
>>8010889Pyw?
>>8010892Naw, you'll just schizo out on me. I don't even post in these threads, just saw that image while I was scrolling the front page.
>>8010890I've noticed that you basically have to go full joker in the west if you want to have any chance of doing legitimate anime. The social pressure not to draw anime is just too high.The goyish/herd mentality people seem to be at a very high disadvantage in such a culture even though it can be a benefit in Japan. Really fascinating stuff.You basically have to be okay with rejecting everything people around you believe to be the norm and only way.
>>8010893We need to check if the gains were made in the direction towards anime or towards just contructing cooler while still being westernized.
>>8003067Didn't you know, you need to learn to constrooct first. Anime is all about forms and constrooction and 3D. Not 2D.
>>8010901Correct.
>>8010896I guess that's fair, here's an earlier version of the comic >>8009584
I actually hate over the top character designs and I like the character designs of stuff like JJK, AOT, and CSM over something like My Hero Academia ,Gachiakuta or most JRPGs. Don't get me wrong, the character designs in both are great for the shows they're in. Superheroes and fantasy characters need to stand out after all. But if Eren Jeager had super spikey hair or the scouts wore outlandish gear, aot probably wouldn't have worked as well as it did. It's the fact that they are grounded and "basic" character designs that they paint a picture of pseudo-realism. Well, as real as you can get when they are flying around fighting naked giants.
>>8011102>JJK, and CSM over something like My Hero Academia ,Gachiakuta or most JRPGs>AOTOne of them is not like the others. Also it doesn't make sense to hate anything in terms of design if it's high quality. It's all contextual and storytelling driven if it's a good work, pseudo-realism isn't some default ideal state that makes your work better.
this little faggot's hair pains me

Anime.
>>8011739I'm doing it right?
>>8012289why do you copyfags ask if '' im doing it right, hows going, is it good, etc... You can literally just overlay the damn thing like right there and see any mistake, so what it is then if not that, i think you guise just want validation points, if you really want to see if you are making progress you should draw something without copying or refs and see exactly how much you have retained/learned from your copying ''studies''.... but you guys never do that huh....
>>8012405
>>8010952Westoid beg slop
>>8012289i really like thisthat said, i feel like you copied a bit too much to the point that the anatomy suffered a bit.it's not major thoughLike the women's tits look cartoonish rather than having volume and weight or how her head tilts a bit while yours doesn't. Or the main dude's cranium shape feels pushed in and his palm feels more stylised. it's tiny things like that.I feel like your style came into this a bit
>>8012531>i feel like you copied a bit too much>lists things that are different from the original that make it look worseWhat did he mean by this?
>>8012552not much
>>8012526Based. If you don't take a zero tolerance policy towards westoidisms you're not going to make it.
>>8012553No such thing as copied too much in a copy study, there is only copied too little or too superficially. With copying the goal is to notice every detail and understand the function of every detail. Anything else is a westoid ngmi signal.
>>8012556you were told to kill yourself across multiple threads by now take the hint
>>8011871Is this some kind of perma/beg/ thread shibboleth? >>8011739Don't wing it. Copy every line consciously to create the same shapes and see how it affects every other line/shape near it. Constrooction just makes you focus on abstractions, not the actual linework that gives it that look. Also copy newer stuff, it's more refined in its drawing technique.
>>8012557I am in a higher state of anime existence. I focus on anime ideals and full purity, you can't tell me what to do as a westernized being.
>>8012559>>8012560noose is waiting for you
>>8012557>i'm coooopying!!!!! it doesn't look anything like it but I'm learning!!!!!Saito already refuted all of this btw. You should not add in anything that makes it look worse, or don't copy it in the first place if you think you know better. You don't need copies as a westerner, just use your own originality kek.
>>8012562u are a retarded nigger gorilla and u didn't read his book, just off yourself already
>>8012561I'm getting high ngmi readings from this post. I guess it's useful for the other anons to see what they should not be thinking if they want to make it with anime.
>>8012563Just reading it raised my IQ by a couple of points and made me more radicalized in my opinions on the Western Question.You won't gain anything by me offing myself lil bro, you won't ever graduate doing faux anime stuff with this outlook.
>>8012674Wtf 4chan nuked my textNot sure if this goes here, but is this kind of background only good for 4komas or this type of comics with flat colors or cell shading? it feels like if it were something more realistic i will look off but some of these look way too basic

>>8014104very nice. what is confusing you about the rendering?
>>8014114the light sources, in special. I don't know where the shadow starts or the light endsI also wanted to know how accurately they drew the cloth wrinkles because it feels very vibes oriented
>>8014117can always posterize to get a better sense for the shapes but if you've looked on their twitter they have a process video and they start from neutral shadow, block in the shapes of sunlight and then add occluded spots. finally they have warmth bouncing from the ground. these kinda artists focus more on designing the shapes than what is realistic even more than some others i feel
>>8014131ah cool, so that's what it's used forand yeah I agree, I like how dynamic the end result looks with those kinds of rendering but it's hard for me to let go of the more standard approach to light and shadow

>>8020107Well, not quite.You picked a super hard reference though, those “almost direct frontal views” for faces are the worst. It might be easier to do references that show more of a tilt until you get more comfortable
a lot of doujin artists dont have the light coming from any particular source and the shadows are totally vibes based, it works for hentai but there doesnt seem to be much to learn from it

>>8023542>can't copy 3d with 2d lines my bro.based westernbro
>>8023214based Ritsu drawer.>something feels wrong fundamentallymain reason is the eye/face shape being too simple, anime characters are never going to look fully themselves if you miss out on anime shape complexity.check out the k-on settei for an example and compare the eye shapes.like with your lateral eye, it's not just 3 straight lines for the entire inside part of the eyelid symbol, it's like 6-7 more subtle lines with very deliberate segmentation.just do more copies of settei's, doesn't have to be k-on specifically, just what you want to draw like in general. but if you're going to draw k-on characters it won't hurt anyway to understand their OG style better.
>>8023544something with no lines to actually copy from is not going to help you get better at anime if you can't already draw anime.i get that it's a good way to cope & confidence boost yourself because it's fundamentally easier than high level 2d art like anime, but you have to grow up already if you want to stop making faux anime.

>>8023560nips can draw anime. that guy can't draw anime.10k hours of drawing from life isn't going to bridge that gap.it's just avoiding the issue of actually learning anime, classic cope tactics. or just naivety/stupidity to 2d art, pick which one is worse yourself.
>>8023566>pros do make mistakesNot on any level the people here can see. It's extremely funny to post pro drawings and receive worse looking corrections by people who can't tell that it looks worse, or that they're trying to correct a drawing way above their level.
>>8023567>in order to draw anime you shouldn't do what nips do and recomend doing>well because You just can't! Okay
@8023571>you shouldn't do what nips do and recomend doingnips who can already draw anime aren't in the same position as you. they don't recommend life drawing *to learn to draw anime* to someone who has no idea how to draw anime.
>>8023569>nah bro you saying theres something wack with the chest???>shut up you dunning kruger /beg/
8023573U are just grasping a straws now, Plenty of high level manga artists have done the same stuff that the west teachs as part of their studies, and that's not to mention the ones that literally point to western books/methods as the source of how they learned to draw from 0, but keep being a contrarian it wont change anything.

>>8023280Thanks, I can see that>>8023553Thanks, one issue I have w/ drawing characters like this though is that even within a series they're not always consistent (at least from what I can tell). As an ex, for these 2 eyes the far eyes seems to have a fairly different shape even w/ the same angle (see how for the left image the back eye seems to have a little "bump" near the far side but the right doesn't). Any tips for this?>>8023585Thanks for liking it!>>8023617I like the neck changes a lot thanks, but is the back of the head flat now (or was my initial too round? curious if others have opinions on that)
>>8024011I'm not really following. Here's my ref on left>The leg in the left shouldn't be fully visible from this angle not at degree at leastWhy? Your post redline also has her left leg visible, am I missing something?I concede the neck part and the shadows didn't come through dark in the picture but what are the green lines really representing? Not following that part, especially w/ the post redline putting her jeans in the middle of her ass, shouldn't the closer hip's shorts arch upwards? (From my perspective seems like the overall shape of the jeans are right in mine? I assume something else is making it look wrong but always hard to tell w/ your own art)Can someone else give some input on this redline?

>>8024275>even within a series they're not always consistentyeah especially for illustration/poster adjacent stuff the individual style of the artist is usually more explicit, while the show itself is in the style of the character designer Horiguchi Yukiko. in the actual episodes there are corrections by the episode / chief animation directors that tend to unify things more.>Any tips for this?just pick one artist's style to draw in is the best advice, but you can copy and learn from anything you want if it's a good drawing. the shape complexity you need to keep in mind and try to implement in your own drawings is going to be there in everything professional.i really like this artbook too https://e-hentai.org/g/3213592/8d2020cecc/

How do go from sketch to color in digital drawings?
>>8024283your original drawing didn't show the form of her glutes as well as his did. Learn to draw wrapping lines around egg shapes and you'll be almost there
What do you think I should study more?Was just drawing mindlessly for a while. Kind of lost the direction in term of skill progression.My end goal is to be able to express interesting emotions and poses in a simple way. I'm also not interested in detailed color rendering.
>>8011946This monday's progress: her left part of her hair.Drawing hair ends and shading it, is my weakness. But i guess now that the hardest part is over, i can finish this on monday 2 weeks from now hehe (for context, I only draw an hour or maybe tow every monday. Why? corpo stuff)
>>8024811Ah shit i just realized this part looks bad. Oh well, ill fix it next monday kek>>8024351Good stuff m8
>>8024283Okay i as i assumed it was just a badly refenced drawing.I will try to keep it simple but also warn you that my english is horrible lol.Okay my drawing was my interpretation of your drawing. i assumed you wanted to draw her like she was leaning her weight to left leg.the way i drew the short was just me mostly fucking around too much with the tightness i didn't know you were following a ref. But you also drew the legs and ass so bad that it was hard to tell if she was leaning of her legs or stading still in that case her left leg should be partially visible but definetely not the front part.Now here it comes the messy part, you need to now anatomy or overall just how to draw things realistically not necesarilly in style but absolutely understand it.Like i said the worst part it's the legs, your drawing botches their shape big time, the green line was to point out the differences in the glutes insertions to the femur. this was unter the perception that you were drawing her just standing there due to the top part of her jeans being in a flat horizant line.In your ref her left leg is going backwards a bit which lifts the glute and you can see that visible inner wrinkle as a result, while the other leg that is going forward it's extending the glute making it look larger but technically it isn't. here's where your lineart fucks up the left glute you outline partly the glute shape in the left side plus the inner part which it makes the glute look ass implant. The shape in the right glute is not great either.You really need to know anatomy if you are gonna use 3dpd as references cus a lot of shit doesn't translate well with anime stylization but also all anime drawings are based on relistic anatomy/stuff that's why strictly copying straght from anime will fuck you up aswell bc you have no idea what is being stylized and you will be second guessing and fucking up a lot when you are drawing with no refs.end of essay
>>8024298good stuff, nice shape language and line weight. I like the simplified skeleton, is that a Morpho approach?
>>8023443what software? csp? i only got hb pencil in procreate, but 6b looks interesting
Can someone help me with these faces? People told me they look bad, and while I do agree, I can't put my finger on why. The black and white version looks fine to me which makes me think it's more of an issue with the coloring and shading than the actual drawing. But idk.
>>8024973Hahahaha. Look at other people's art, then look at yours.
>>8024976Yes, I know they're better. That's why I'm asking here.
>>8024973Brother, that drawing is months, maybe a year old. Just draw something else and move on.
>>8024979It's just a month old. I've tried moving on, but I can't. I need to know I can fix, and how to fix, whatever I did wrong or it will always haunt me.
>>8024981you won't make it with that mentality
>>8024973>>8024976>>8024979>>8024995Thanks a lot for all the help guys!!!
>>8025052This general is shit. /beg/, even with its infinite schizos is better.
>>8025054yeah i posted there too. At least someone replied there. It's fine.
>>8024973There are too many problems in the drawing to discuss them comprehensively. However, there is a hierarchy to those problems, and at the top of it, the one most beginners have, and the one improvement that would change the impression of your drawing the most, is your sense of form and all the things that affects, such as proportion, orientation, and alignment.A simple rearrangement of the features of the face can change the impression a lot, even without improving the quality of the draftsmanship. Form should be your priority.
>>8025088I don't understand what you did or were trying to do but it looks like an abomination. It makes me cringe just to look at it.
>>8025088what you say its correct but urcexecution not so much not OR
>>8025088Yikes.
>>8024973can you post an example of an artist you like/are inspired by drawing a head at a similar angle?
>>8024973pretty much this >>8025088 to add compared to tradional anime it' looks very western lookin the shape of her face needs to ve more triangular(inverted) the eyes are too close together and the checkbone is too high also the neck in rin in stoo far back.
>>8025089It's a million times better than what you were doing Just follow DanDan @icantdravv and ask him to treat you hoe to draw hot fate shit correctly lmao
