Why do all modern western anime-like art styles look so similar to each other even more than actual anime?
Because contemporary learning systems encourage repetition of accepted rules rather than self-discovery. That's why most artists aspire to be a redundant parody instead of a unique sincerity.
I really don't know why the Castlevania cartoon was shilled so hard for having "great animation" when it always seemed off to me.
Animated mainly by SEA/korean studios
>>7153877>This thread againThis art style is called South Korean "Anime" and it's better than your average anime by a mile.

can somone give me some advise on my SONIC OC his name is GREENIC because hes like SONIC but he is GREEN and he SMOKES WEED PLEASE I WANNA BE A GREAT ARTIST SO THAT I CAN WORK FOR NINTENDO
>>7153889HOOOOT! Great work anon. I think it needs some more space for the shoulder/clavicle area, everything else looks good. Coom will lead you to greatness, but don't let it take over your art life. Keep it on a leash, that's the hardest part. These boards are great to vent that steam, and that's necessary to keep the grinding going. You're fortunate to have the coom power on your side. Congrats anon.
>>7153882Observation(al drawing) Feeds visual libraryAttempt to reproduce from Observation(al drawing) AKA memory drawing Solidifies visual libraryRandom doodling General increase in ease of living in three-dimensional spaceThus, practice accurate copying alongside drawing that again from memory, then random mindless spontaneous doodlingIdeally, copy forms that other skilled artists people have already distilled into more digestible and workable shapes / volumesCopying from photographs is something I consider more of an advanced skill because now YOU are responsible for converting the full brunt of real life detail - which is insanely fucking detailed, to something that is simpler, but other artists who have studied those forms, such as anatomy for 10, 20, 30 years, have ALREADY distilled the form down into simpler forms that all you have to do is copy to skip that entire process of simplification. You can start with Koos Eissen and copy his shit accurately.This was a rather painful process for me in the beginning. Pic related is my old work from December 2022. I did no observational drawing at that point, just random doodling.
>>7153902thx bro, i'll keep the grind going
Welcome to the first installment of the Yuri Girl Love General. I invite you into these threads to challenge ourselves by drawing at least two or more Female figures and put an emphasis on the figures interacting with each other; that means you're going to be getting involved into a little bit of story telling with your figures - not with words but purely under a visual medium and adding an environment or background with the figures is highly encouraged but it is not required. These threads should operate similar to the Yuri board >>>/u/ in the aspect that a drawing must contain at least two visible Female figures in order to post. For other drawings with a single Female figure such as the "1girlwhitevoid" pin up drawing or any drawings with a visible Male figure please post in the regular draw threads instead.New to Yuri? Yuri is a genre from Anime that puts emphasis on relationships that are powerful between Females whether they be tender loving, sadistic, or just plain unfriendly. Please visit the Yuri board >>>/u/ for a general introduction to this Anime genre and just like the Yuri board suggests, drawings of Lesbian sex or nudity between two or more female figures is allowed but not required. Have an OC? Shipping your favorite anime character with another lady? Got a personal project you're working on? Feel free to post them here but remember this is a visual arts board where you tell your story not with words but under a visual medium with forms and shapes.
>>7153872thank you, i will look up the ribbon method>line weighti started learning about this just a few days ago after someone saw my casca wip (picrel, be as critical as possible, i really want to improve), it's a bit difficult as i can't really get smooth lines with smooth change in thickness without resorting to the stabilizeralso i'm curious what resolution do you use when drawing? your lines are much thinner than mine but not so thin that you can see the pixelsi have been meaning to properly learn anatomy for a while now but it feels so damn boring that i've just been eyeballing everything and/or looking up referencesthat the way i draw construction lines makes everything incredibly messy too so not using a separate sketch layer is impossible for me (at least for now)btw i copied the way you draw eyes and hair in one panel of a project i'm making and it looks way better
>>715388415000 x 15000 kek. Drawing with high resolution better helps you with hiding little mistakes like color bleeding between the line art when you resize the image from a higher resolution. In order to learn anatomy you're going to have to be very passionate about it since there isn't going to be a pot of gold waiting for you in the end instead it's going to be a lot of trial and error. This is particularly why most of the faggots from this board draw porn because in order to draw porn you have to work with anatomy and that's how most of us learned. Do whatever it takes to get you interested. I strongly suggest you invest in acquiring Vilppu's academic approach in figure drawing and Michael Hampton's figure drawing. If you are able to somehow get Vilppu's videos and his series of figure drawing you will learn about how Vilppu has a methodical approach and it all starts with gesture. It's a rabbit hole and it's also particularly why /ic/ is full of schizo babble because of how difficult drawing from imagination is due to the abstract form coming from gesture. A good drawing all starts with how fluid and graceful it is, you can be good at anatomy but if the drawing is stiff it's not going to be as appealing.
>>7153897>15000 x 15000i just tried creating a blank canvas with that resolution to see if my laptop can handle it and it made krita crash lol>coloroh man, i very rarely color my drawings, i can't even get the color of the skin right>draw porni have drawn some of that and, again, with the help of reference, was even banned from /g/ for posting a somewhat sfw version, i have been told i tend to draw boobs a bit too high up thoughif you look at this sketch of the aforementioned casca wip (very messy as you can see) you'll see how i simplify the body to help me visualize it, basically 2 ovals connected by a cylinder, the "ribcage" and the belly oval thing are all just assumptions of mine, i haven't learned about them i just assume they are in those places with a bit of imaginationi thought i already had Michael Hampton's book downloaded, an academic approach sounds like the perfect way to learn, thanks for the help fren
>>7153907Oh cool you already got the idea down of using basic forms, we're pretty close to how we approach drawing from imagination the rest really all depends on continuing to draw. Knowing the bony landmarks from the skeleton will help you keep proportions in check and it'll further help you with knowing where forms originate from. How we get anatomy really all depends how well you build forms on top of one another by overlapping them and knowing what's stretching, compression, and pulling depending on what the figure is doing this is mainly observed from life drawing but you may also reference a good Manga which puts emphasis on form. The worst you may do is reference from anime since anime is designed to look good in movement; if you really want to draw anime do not fall for the trap of studying from an anime screenshot instead look at a Manga from a good artist that doesn't sacrifice details to meet a deadline or remain under a budget.

I made my biggest progress in art when I started drawing less, and spending more time watching art videos, reading art books and browsing twitter art. Do 20 minutes of intense, focused drawing, then do 40 minutes of theory.
>>7153363>I made my biggest progress in art when I started drawing less, and spending more time watching art videos and reading art books.I'm gonna be honest with you guys but it's the same for me, when I just draw I do improve a bit but I'm essentially reinventing the wheel when I could skip hundreds of years of learning by doing just reading about perspective.
Based.I to am a retard who learns very little by drawing a lot, and who gets the most information out of it being explicitly verbalized by someone.That said, drawing a lot is still important so you can observe the theory stuff in practice and that helps you to fixate.But if I haven't been exposed to the information before, then drawing will do me zero favors in learning it.
praxis > active listening/learning > mindless repetition > doing nothing
>>7153363heres proof guys can make it too
>>7153363Beautiful crabbing, well done my friend.
Are there any books teach the fundamentals of painting from imagination in the same way that Vilppu or Huston teaches the fundamentals of drawing?I just keep seeing shitty youtube videos. It seems very cryptic
>>7153682Med's map is a good start, I've also heard good things about the Richard Schmidt books.
haha time to take your Meds xd
What are the different schools of painting? The different approaches, etc. Drawing has sightsize, constructive drawing, and famous teachers like vilppu and Bridgman and so on. With painting though it's just like two youtubers
>>7153758>It’s the battle between antique and modern genius. M. Ingres belongs in many respects to the heroic age of the Greeks; he is perhaps more of a sculptor than a painter; he occupies himself exclusively with line and form, purposefully neglecting animation and colour […] M. Delacroix, in contrast, willfully sacrifices the rigours of drawing to the demands of the drama he depicts; his manner, less chaste and reserved, more ardent and animated, emphasizes the brilliance of colour over the purity of line.>After dinner, holding in his hand a cupful of coffee, he brusquely went up to Eugene Delacroix, who was standing by the fire, and said to him: “Drawing, sir, drawing is honesty! Drawing, sir, drawing is honor!” In his agitation the cup of coffee capsized and poured over his shirt and waistcoat. He seized his hat in a fury… “This is too much! I shall go; I will not let myself be insulted any longer.”

I got a positive response so here's the first thread for studying Figure Drawing for All It's Worth by Andrew Loomis. Here's a basic schedule for the first chapter, but feel free to ignore it and work at your own pace. A schedule for the rest of the book will be discussed later.Start by reading the first 32 pages. Don't worry about copying the drawings yet. Pay attention to the basic proportions pages. When you're done, got to page 38.Pages 38-49: 2 weeks. Take your time learning the mannequin. Try drawing it in various poses. Pages 50-56: 1 weekThen spend 1 week going back and studying the pages that were skipped.Don't just copy! Try redrawing Loomis' drawings from memory after your initial copy, and take note of what you got wrong. Apply what you've learned to photo reference and try inventing figures from imagination.The book:https://files.catbox.moe/d2501d.pdfAnd here's some refs:https://files.catbox.moe/7246sw.zipGood luck!
>>7149250Up to you. I don't think we need to be on par when it comes to progressing through the book, but I'm starting to go into the perspective diagrams too.

>What's a webtoon?Webtoon is the ancient Korean art of scrolling comics. Instead of traditional manga/comic pages, panels are spread out individually for easier reading on cell phones.>So they're just spliced manga/comic pages?You can do that if you want, but they're fundamentally different for a few reasons. For example, panels tend to be drawn longer to fit phone screens, and traditional 2-page spreads are not possible to fit in scrolling format.>Are there standard page sizes?Technically yes, but it depends on which platform you post in. Naver Webtoons uses800x1280px, but the site automatically splices & resizes images anyway.>Do I have to make it in color?If you want subscribers, yes.>Why would I make one?To be rich & famous, of course. All jokes aside, the pay is low if you're lucky enough to get hired in the first place, the deadlines are more brutal than the manga industry, and the average reader age floats around 11. But as a novel medium with a growing industry, it may still be worthwhile enough for you to experiment.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>7135569Yes it's possible but it's extremely hard since early 2023 because the Webtoon suits demonetized canvas artists and most originals now are Korean imports.A few canvas comics are just the censored version of their nsfw Patreon and they make cash off fujos so maybe try that.
