Use illustrations, screenshots, anime figures, 3D models, etc. >Don’t copy recklessly. Use construction, color theory, and other fundamental concepts to rehearse a drawing process that you can later easily manipulate for original artwork. >Post all of your anime studies. Post even when you’re told not to. Create an art community that actually draws and improves together instead of just talking about it. >Number your attempts and link to your previous posts. >Critiquers should lead by example by posting their studies. General Anime Style Discussion: >Questions about achieving certain styles/techniques/compositions etc. >Drawing methods, study habits, resources, tutorials, tools, software, etc >Be specific and try to post a sample of your study attempts before asking for help. **Draw copies from good anime styled references to mindfully up our mileage, internalize appealing aesthetics, and learn from each other’s processes and knowledge.** Recommended Resources: https://pastebin.com/Yz2scAEc /mmg/ - Manga Making General: >>>/ic/mmg [//boards.4chan.org/ic/catalog#s=mmg] Previous Thread: >>7960503

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?

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This time I tried purely by winging it instead of relying on construction but it felt even more like Xeroxing + the proportions are even worse anyway

study of https://x.com/AQ__ll/status/1711688886878105891 got bored before finishing. I also now realize there's no point trying to copy this vibe rendering style without seeing the reference to match against the stylization and understand what the fuck the author meant but this is one of my favorite drawings so I had to do it

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.

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.

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.

>Try to draw original characters, how hard can it be? >Have to start from design >Need to find dozens of references >Brain hurting from trying to decide on everything from pose, colors, clothes, etc. I now understand why beginners start off doing fanart of existing characters. I'm never doing this again.
