is this true or there’s more to it So imagining a cat make the faces easier to draw.
low crthe shapes are pretty different
>>8056069animu fans are freaks
>>8056069it's just neonatal features we find cute in general, not specifically cats
>>8056073no it's just a stupid meme
>>8056073High CR, the shapes are more cat than human
haha op i just went down the rabbit hole of drawing a series of my favorite two manga characters in their final battle chapter dress through a lens of cute cat interactions. save the author’s canon from these abominations o lord.
>>8056075they are but they're our clientele.
>>8056077those aren't neonatal features, dumb redditor
>>8056311Neoteny or whatever it's called. Big head, big eyes, high forehead, small nose, no jawline, receding chin, high head to body ratio, thin neck, chubby cheeks. Cats and pets in general were bred to keep these features because we find them cute.
>>8056767stop parroting retarded shit you heard on reddit, you dumb nigger, that's an adult ocelot, it's not even the same fucking genus as domestic cats, which only diverged 10k years ago and are extremely well documented in terms of evolution, whereas ocelots and oncilas are 8 million fucking years removed from them, have different chromosome counts and can't interbreed it's literally just what medium cats look like because it makes them good at hunting their prey
>>8056829this thing is 9-10 million years removed, it barely even looks like a cat and yet has the same characteristics
>>80568329 million etc
>>8056829>>8056832>>8056833Thank you for owning him, I hate when people talk out their ass.
>>8056835Not really an own, many predators, including felines and ocelots and whatever, look like human babies, so we find them cute. Moeshit has baby proportion, that is why it looks cute.
>>8056767>Cats and pets in general were bred to keep these features because we find them cute.That describes maybe half the breeding in the last 50 years, maybe 5% a 100 years ago.Pets were bred for hunting, pest control, shepherding, speed, security etc. The single most common dog breed was bred to bring water to fishermen.Cats literally just look like the African wildcat Egyptians were breeding for religious rituals because that's what they had
>>8056829>same characteristicsThat was exactly my point retard. no need to sperg out about ocelots.
>>8056844no, your """point""" was the nature and cause of those characteristics, you dumb nigger
>>8056849calm down and try reading it again, maybe you'll get it this time
>>8056851>neonatalwrong>bred to keep those featureswronggo back, retard
>>8056852i guess the concept is too high level for you
>>8056851Why are you running damage control on an anonymous website? You repeated something objectively wrong you accepted without thinking or researching, just take the L and move on
>>8056854what did i get wrong
>>8056855Are you retarded?
>>8056857not an argument. if you think im a retard you should win easily.
>>8056858>>8056854
>>8056859so you have no argument? this retard wins again
>>8056832freaky ahh cattoid
>>8056832my face when I take a whiff and her pits and feet are stinky!!!
>>8056069i'm shitty ass at drawing faces, but using a cat portrait kinda helped, wtf. it also makes it easier to draw stylized faces
She's so fucking pretty
>>8056069>is this true or there’s more to itI don't know if it's true or not. But the results of drawing on top of cat photos feel better because it's preventing symmetry issues, not because of the species per se.
>>8064757prove it
>>8064831
>>8064892Fetal alcohol syndrome/10
>>8064892yikes
>>8064892Yeah, I'm sticking to cats
>>8064892Simon you're supposed to draw on top of a cat not a child
>>8064892epitome of western artist... chooses monkey looks like retard. eastern choose cat and it looks cute..
>>8064892>cats help with not drawing symmetrically >prove it (monkey reaction image) >draws the monkey instead of a cat to prove your point KEKAROOOO
>>8064892Anon, I...
>>8064993You know damn well that wasn't a reaction image and was a response to saying any species of animal could be utilized for symmetry.
>>8065018That monkey was really smug though.
>>8064916I'm not telling you to use anything. I'm not advocating for drawing over photos. I'm just pointing out that OP's pic is somewhat of an illusion.Look at the top right on OP's image. None of those overlay drawings follow the face contour of a cat. None of the chins match. None of them draw cat nostrils. The eyes aren't even the same shape and size.What they do use from the photo is the positioning of the eyes and nose, which is a relationship. That's one of the harder parts of drawing faces, maintaining that relationship correctly in perspective.What is the first thing nearly every beginner anime drawer starts with? The eye. They draw one lone eye, detail the heck out of it, and feel quite proud because it looks nice. But when they move on to a complete face, everything looks wrong.
>>8065033drawings over cats look like animeyour drawings don't look like animewordswordswords won't make you draw good (anime)
>>8065039Kaiji is the most anime thing to have ever animed. Get out.
>>8065041Simply drawing a character from an anime doesn't make a drawing anime. Those drawings are still the usual western faux stuff.
Cats are notoriously difficult to draw.Even the greatest artists struggle to get them to look right.I honestly think drawing human heads is easier. Not a worthwile strategy for me.
>>8064892You absolutely raped and murdered that guy, holy shit10/10 post
>>8064892None of those drawings are symmetrical at all, though. Even the girl has the entire face both shifted off center and at a wrong angle to the face plane altogether, it looks like a potato
>>8056069moeblobs have snouts, that's it
>>8064892Sir, this thread is about anime, not whatever that is.
>>8064757>>8064892>>8065033
>>8065058because he draw it over it with the opacity lowered down while not understanding how anime art don't really apply for realism you can't simply apply realism -> to anime type of drawing directly that's why it looks off.
>>8064892flip the image, bro
