>construction fundies are a psyop invented to stop you from drawing anime
Is there any truth to this?
What makes so many people unable to draw anime but able to analyze it and break it down into simpler 3D forms?

Did you got so butthurt with me reading you in /beg/ that you had to create an thread to try to trick more people so you can at least try to feel better?Do you have friends in real life, anon? or online? is not normal to be this lonely.

Yes anon, the reason why i want you to draw circles and boxes it's because i don't want you to draw circles and boxes realistically.

Which of the fundies is more pernicious, construction or anatomy?

Anon10/15/25, 09:28No.7759031
no, they are really helpful but sometimes people use construction as the only stick on which they interact with art and this messes up their understanding of stuff like anime and cartooning.sometimes you gotta know when and where you have to ignore what the construction is telling you where the lines should go or if there should be a line at all there. it's mostly study and practice but also a lot of it is just intuition and taste. sometimes your brain will tell you "this shit looks ugly" and you should listen to it.tl;dr: you gotta let go sometimes, man.also see: the concept of "the pleasure of lines"

The reason why a lot of western artists can't draw anime/manga art well is because they focus on the wrong thing. Manga art, which anime is derived from is focused solely on inking and line work.
A lot of traditional western art is focused on the complete opposite. Rendering and making lines disappear. This is why people who are really good at rendering and realism, struggle to draw anime properly. It's a fundamental disconnect and it's what's at it's core.

To give a serious answer, it's just simpler. It's extremely hard to explain all the choices an artist made to create an anime design because you have to have direct familiarity with drawing it and think a lot about why they did certain things.
Doing a simple 3D breakdown offers a nice copout where you can seem intelligent without actually doing the hard work of being able to replicate the style. It also decreases overall art standards so it's a helpful tool for art grifters who want to undermine the legitimacy of anime and push their own goyslop as an alternative.

Basic Loomis fundies are pretty useful to anime drawing I think. It's weird how well many more "classical "anime heads (not completely distorted chibi moeshit) actually fit to a loomis head compared to western cartoons. Western cartoon characters often have no forehead or craium at all, their eyes are way up on the head and all the basic proportions are off. Anime heads have the features basically in correct placement but just stylized. Almost like you could trace a loomis head and then draw anime features inside it.

in lifting there's a point where you realize the big 3 (Squat bench deadlift) Is great because they're compound movements and some people get obssessed with this saying you don't need anyother exercise which leads to a spider body (big torso, small limbs) The same happens with advanced begs who swear by the methods they've learned not realizing the limitations of said methods, like the reilly/loomis method is not great for stylization and can lead to same face syndrome.

That's 1) the wrong kind of construction for a cartoon drawing, and 2) poorly drawn, anyway (the features are not at the same angle as in the original drawing, and the eyes are not even proportionate to one another, for starters).Anyway, that kind of analytical breakdown of planes isn't even practical for general drawing in a more realistic style; rather, it is just a tool for study and learning. Most artists use only a few construction lines when they are actually working.Picrel is from a Japanese book.

Nope.
Construction helps you with the less stylized parts. Anime artworks still have those parts, especially the anatomy of the body.
But you obviously also need to know how to break down some of that construction in order to follow the language of anime symbolism (side mouth, toddler facial proportions, lack of defined jaws, etc.)
Without understanding how anatomy and perspective work, you'll never be able to draw your own things (especially from memory) without having to copy other anime.

feeling pretty good, ngl. might do 2 or so pages of perspective later in my career, but i'm happy with doing no more construction or anatomy.

No, just remember what you learned and do it in your fashion.
If this is considered crab, then I'm not the kind of person who can really explain it better.

Construction is just a technique, it can be used for any style, but only in such a way and to the extent that it doesn't break the internal rules of the style (e.g. strict adherence to the rules of 3D space won't work with anime.)

Even Japanese animators use 'construction' to draw the characters consistently, just because someone has made a joke gif where they're being overly autistic for (hopefully) a laugh, doesn't make this less true.

they do construct, but with extra 3d help
