It feels like an endless loop, that you already need to have done it to be allowed to do it, or you must just suck many dicks and have big enough network to eventually get lucky with some opportunity.
Any advice and personal experience would be most welcome!

What is /ALT/?
If you're looking for a place to post your cartooning then you've found the right general. This is /ic/s 1st and only merged hub where both Eastern and Western stylization can coexist peacefully, hence the double title. However, by community demand and long history, this is favorably an Anime general.
>Rules & Guidelines
(1) Any form of cartooning is welcome; so submit and receive feedback from others. (2) Please resize your images before posting. (3) Share your knowledge and (4) Remember to not be afraid of asking for critique. Most importantly I encourage you to keep discussion at a civil level, but you're more than welcome to share your opinions.
>I came for anime. Why does the image OP say cartoons general?
To distinguish from the anime study thread (janitor supported). Please post your studies there and personal work goes here.

I know the basics stuff because I can perfectly do a Portrait with a very good result, but when it comes to having a reference in front of me, I wanna do my illustration style.. based on that, I wanna do my "view" like those artists do theirs!
like what's the big fucking deal what'd he do
Damn
Even though I'm /beg/ I think I might be onto something when it comes to learning art in a logical way.
The end result could be, subconciously transform each landmark of a drawing.
pic actually shows a 3x3 transformstion matrix, being ueed to transform each point of the letter M, but this is only good for 2D imaged that lack form. For drawing you would actually need a 4x4 transformation matrix to represent 3D forms, but you would need to convert it back to a 2d screen space (paper), but the perspective grid already does this for you.

Help others with constructive criticism.
Don't post obviously beg tier stuff and get mad when no one gives a crit. Developing your eyes to critique your own work is far more valuable than someone else's critique.
What do?
I don't know of many alternatives, but here are a few that I've found so far, in my limited research:
>squareup
Seems the most appealing to me so far, you can create invoices like in paypal and afaik set up a store with it? But I don't think it accepts payments from all around the world, and it's relatively obscure. The few people I've seen talk about it seem like shills
>stripe
Don't know anything about this one but it seems to be somewhat well-known. I believe if you have a patreon you can also send your moneys through it as an alternative to paypal
>etsy
Apparently pretty good. Though it seems more suited for traditional than anything digital.
Share your wisdom with me anon.
I'll cut to the chase, I want to study with people
>who are invested and passionate about drawing and aren't beginners (i'll trust your own assessment).
>who want to do art for money (don't treat it as a hobby)
>who are willing to share resources & knowledge
>who prioritize draftsmanship (technical skills)
>work with digital
>close to GMT+1 timezone (it's not required)
>who spend at least 2 hours on drawing every day
>who are willing to participate in challenges discussed by all parties involved
>who are willing to share their work in the first place
I know there are a lot of prerequisites but this isn't meant to be a large group. I am looking for like-minded people on a similar level or even better who really want to get better. What you actually want to draw doesn't matter much. This is meant to be a server with no filler and no slacking. This is not meant to be another circlejerk with people spamming shitty memes more than posting their actual work. It's meant to be very simple, with everyone being equal in power. Everyone should post good references so the others can study from them and so on. If you feel like you want to be a part of this group and you qualify in every way, join me https://discord.gg/x5WK5sx
If you want to be lazy or disappear after one interaction, don't bother. I am looking for dedicated folks who really want to get better, together.
Server is wip but I want to gather people first so we can talk and make it better. Honestly I prefer old school message boards but it is far easier this way, sadly.
The XP-Pen Artist 22r Pro was announced over a month ago, costs 699 USD and seems to be pretty great specs-wise.
But there are zero reviews out for it anywhere. The only video I can find is one from Ross draws and that was useless. The release date keeps getting pushed back (iirc it was late November at first, then early December, now it says 18th of December on one site and the 24th on another.
On top of that it's also discounted at 30% so it only costs 489 USD currently.
Is this product even real? Does it have some huge flaw and that's why they aren't seeding review units to anyone and discounting the product before it's even released? What the fuck is going on?
Reason I ask is because I'd like to get a screen tablet for my computer that's large, and even at 699 this seems to be pretty good when compared to Wacom. It's likely still inferior, but it's so much cheaper that I feel it's enough of an advantage.
Does anyone know anything about this tablet, or XP-Pen in general?

making art is her thing, she loves it
but het set is sh itty, no good papers/pencil/lights/etc
And I know nothing bout this.
if u can, send me some ideas of good gifts to make it easier for her to express herself
this is her inst page so far - drawingstaraka -
pls help
Pros of drawing display:
Bigger screen
Bigger pressure on your pen
The screen only detects the pen and not the wrist or finger accidentally
Cons:
Programmes require a bigger learnin curve
Clunky and not portable
Might not multi-touch
Tablet pros:
Portable
Multi-touch
Drawing apps have natural and easy to understand UI
Might be more limited
I've done basic anatomy (down to proportion muscles, skin and gesture) and now I'm in the process of learning perspective and industrial design for vehicles and buildings.
But my final goal is drawing comics, so if you know of any great resources for comics, storyboarding, storytelling, it would be awesome if you could share your knowledge.

You hear me? AT LEAST A SKETCH. Anything less from you and you're NGMIFL

Do professional artists lose this anxiety when they excel in their job?

Tell my waifu... I love her.
I can do well with sketchbook pro, medibang, clip studio and photoshop but procreate seems to be least conventient
There's something about the pencil brushes; the size tends to be inconsistent, I'm guessing it's due to tilt function of the apple pencil, but it's really strange
I'm sketching, and suddenly the strokes become a whole lot bigger because the angle at which I'm holding my pencil at changed by like half a degree, it really breaks my work flow
This doesn't happen in sketchbook pro or clip studio
And the pressure is weird too, even after adjusting pressure curves, weird things happen like; say I set opacity , I put in a tiny bit more pressure and suddenly it becomes a whole lot darker
So do you part, ignore and hide their post.
Pick up your pencil/pen/whatever and contribute.
And don't forget to have fun and draw whatever you like, don't let others hold you back. Also drink water.
Feel free to post even the smallest exercise you have done to show you are still trying, or you literally are never going to make it

What defines Banksy's work as "art" and the work of the red nose painter as "vandalism"?
they still clip through the "box"
is there a way to make so the dolls make contact and don't clip through ?
