Please also post links if you can. Do any anons paint like this nowadays? I constantly see cartoonish stuff, pixel art, anime, but where is the realism? I need a crack for ver 3.0 I need to stop drawing, I draw too much that my real work started to suffer. Anyone with this same problem? The general thread for Manga / manga-styled comic-making, manga-style illustration and related comic work. That said, everyone is welcome here.
Support each other and talk about your work or the work of others that excites you. Inking, character design, paneling / layout, writing, planning, and other discussions are all welcome.
Post resources, questions, in-progress pages, breakdowns of other works, etc. If a work is not yours, credit the maker (unless it's fucking obvious like a full page of One Piece or something).
Thanks to everyone for making /mmg/ a level-headed and helpful place. Remember, drawing and making comics and manga are difficult endeavors, and we're all in this struggle together.

Source of OP image is FLCL Chapter 7. I just found out on average Oda has 5 assistants. I waste years of my life thinking I had to learn every fundamental only to find out that mangaka don't even bother learning those things, they just make assistants do it. You don't have to learn how to draw backgrounds when 4 assistants can draw the background for you. Reality is some mangaka are just scribbling while assistants polish their work for them.

Last thread: >>7307081 I am a CS major but I am very burnt out. I'm thinking of dropping out of college and just commissioning art for money and living with my family. A peaceful life. Maybe one day I could work on movies/animation. Would this be a good idea? How do you deal with haters? And I don't mean just critics. I mean full-blown seething-ass niggas who hate you and your art. how do I practice drawing women for extended periods of time without getting horny? >*mindbreaks /ic/ permabegs*
How did he do it? Like paintings depicting people fucking. There are some old drawings and stuff and paintings of nude people, but never of them fucking. why is that? how do you effectively use construction for anatomy?
post constructed figures please, i learn by example. >There is one thing not to do, and that is simply to drift along with the daily routine, making no extra effort. You will soon find yourself middle-aged, having done nothing more than routine jobs, and being little farther along than you were years ago. The extra effort is the difference between the great mass of mediocre artists and the comparatively small group of very good ones.
>And in Art, study can never stop. You will find sketches galore in the studio of the good man, with the paint quite fresh. The mediocre artist's sketches are old and dusty.
>I have seen so many middle-aged artists still hoping, whose samples are frayed at the edges, and thumb-marked with time. Sometimes it has been a matter of years since they sat down and actually did something to give their hopes any promise. They are plodding their lives away at something they hate, and doing nothing about it. These are the men who never seem to have had a chance. The truth is, they never seized a chance.

>"What brush does this artist use?" / "What brush looks like this?"
1.)Search "brush (from:artisthandle)" or "assets.clip-studio.com (from:artisthandle)" on twitter if that's where they post mainly. Make sure to set it to the Latest tab to see the artist's tweets. Or use Nitter.
2.)Search brush posts on their Pixiv Fanboxes/Booth/Patreon. Then try to see if it's on kemono or archives.
3.)If none of the searches work, then ask here.
>"My CSP is cracked so I can't use the asset store"
As long as you log into the asset store it works even on cracked copies.

Check the archive. Chances are if it's popular some anon has uploaded it already.

Brushes in the OP are in the CSP assets rentry. (ID:2105222) Is Togashi a good artist when it comes to drawing realism and semi-realism? AI art used to be the bogeyman back in 2022 but nowadays almost everyone hates it, even non artists. Figure drawing is a fun and good way to get better at drawing humans.

Why are YT artists like this? Can the online art community be saved? Hi, I've been a mangaka for 20+ years. Can I get a redline on this? How's your art journey going this year? Any self-published manga/comics, indie animation, or portfolio you can show to us? Which boards have drawthreads actively? I only know that /v/ and /co/ have fairly active ones. I used to join on the /co/ ones, but the requests seem uncreative now and I want to expand my horizons... A place for asking questions, leaving reviews, and discussing anything and everything art supply related.
Special question for US based d/ic/ks: What are your plans for next year when the tariffs increase? Are you stocking up on anything or will it not effect you so much? Be serious, how long did it take your to become advanced?
After 5 years I'm only low int/high beg. I'm getting a bit depressed by the fact, but maybe its more normal than expected? Just finished the flat colors, and tips on how I should shade this piece? I'm not too good at rendering. anyone using it as a left hand device?
like for rotation or scrolling around? Being an artist is hard. Don't you agree? >This art is able to sell on Amazon and make money
What's your excuse, anon? If you had to choose only one book to learn to draw/art, what would you choose ?
For me it'll be, Cour de dessin (Charles Bargue and Jean-Léon Gérome) because it helped many old painter that I like to do art (like Van Gogh) and I learn by mimicry and copying (=/= tracing). I was thinking about how a lot of artists look down on people who use photograph to make their paintings, be it taken from the internet or made by the artist to work from. But then it dawn on me that these people are ALSO copying, they're just doing it from life.
Is there any difference between copying a portrait from a photo and working with the live model? I don't think so. Both are COPYING.
I think artists are supposed to create things, not imitate them. I think this all began with the impressionists and their fetish from painting out in nature. I feel like the ability to create a figurative painting is only alive with video game and digital artists who study drawing enough to enable them to create anything they want out of their heads.
For years I felt like all I should do is work from life, set my still life arrangement and paint or use a photograph, that my job as an artist was to simply copy reality and I always hated it. Perhaps I'll give it a chance to studying drawing once more and begin creating my paintings from my head even if they suck.
What do you all think? Welcome to /life/. Life drawing is a great way to solidify your understanding of perspective, forms, and movement in the real world to apply them to your own works and pieces. Drawing from life is critical to your development as an artist, yet unfortunately ignored by many artists. Draw from life. It has all of the answers to any question you have.

Chinese companies have also been proven to shill on 4chan.

https://online-courses.club/anatomy-of-clothing-2019-by-ron-lemen/ Posting in /beg/ wasn't very helpful so I figured I'd just make a thread. Any critiques for this drawing? So far the limited vague feedback I've gotten from friends and the /beg/ thread were that the perspective is off and some parts of the body are the wrong size. Also, how /beg/ am I, and what are some avenues for improvement? are you? If you have already developed a style and just want to speed things up, what's the problem with using AI?

I fumbled so hard I should've tried harder Thoughts on this art style Hey guys I'm making a Thread. I'm a bit old at 37 and did graffiti in Melbourne Australia as a degenerate kid. I found an old sketchbook and will upload some things if the capcha time doesn't drive me insane. Post your own stuff and feel free to critique. This one is of the shitty musician Nick Cave done with Artliner brand drafting pens and a busted open red permanent marker Holy shit I just moved from Krita on my barely-functional HP 255 G7 laptop from 2015 to Procreate and its smooth as butter.
I think the reason my lineart in Krita was so dogshit and shaky/wobbly is because my laptop is incredibly weak and laggy, causing Krita to render stuff at like under 20 FPS. With Procreate, it is SMOOTH. Like, its probably over 60 FPS its amazing Those spiteful fucks deleted the Manben documentary

1: You can either post a brief backstory of your OC and/or redraw an OC that somebody else posted in the thread.
2: Make sure the OC isn't explicitly and immediately pornographic/sexual in their backstory and appearance so the redrawer has something to improvise upon.
3: Character design critique and discussion is welcome.
4: This is NOT a request thread. Artist Only. No spamming OC/infodumps for multiple threads without delivering.
6: Be sure to thank Drawfrens for their hard work as soon as you can, it's just common courtesy :^) How many likes did this painting get at the time? Why you should not trust youtube shills:

Do not be fooled by myths like "Chink companies are just as good as Wacom now" - they've been saying this for over 10 years, nothing has changed.
Chinese companies have also been proven to shill on 4chan. You will see dozens upon dozens of posts in this thread by a chinese schizo shill, who will either be bitching about the OP, gaslighting as a Wacom fan, making pointless spam posts or giving terrible advice (like recommending Huion).

To me it seems as if using references is always good. If you have an image which could help you realize an idea, then you should use it. However you also have to bve able to create without reference, which can be difficult, because there is a huge discrepancy in how a drawing will look with or without refs.. why do people say anime suffers from sameface when 90% of western comic faces look like this?

How would you guys set up making a comic that covers all your bases? Let's come up with a name for him. Hey so I pretty good with digital arts and drawing animals = I can draw furries. I’m no furry but if it’s to make money I can play pretend
Is being a part time nsfw furry artist worth the money ? From what I saw, you could draw a sexy furry stick man or a ransom bara/ femboy with weird fetish and furries would want to buy it for 1000$ and more. Plus furries are able to pay a lot even tho their living in a shit place.
What should I know before being a furry artist for the money ?
Happy holidays btw >post doodle

extra points for video If you could instantly become a master of any art form, what would you choose and why?

How could your skills help humanity advance? How can I get an artist name? I don't like my real name. It sounds stupid. But I've never been good with coming up with nicknames. I also don't have any friends who gave me nicknames. How should I call myself? Anon, what drawing book would you give this Christmas to someone who is learning to draw? One about shapes, gestures, Asian, Western, etc.? What are the best figure and anatomy books I can use to improve my skills in drawing humans?
>check the sticky
Did so, but I don't know if they're good or not. So I'm just coming over to ask which are the best beginner friendly ones I could use. Also I would like to know which are some good refs you recommend that I could use to practicing drawing. Have any of you ever had a mentor? Was it any good? I don't think I've ever met an artist that wasn't self taught. Does messy line art have more appeal than clean line art? Previous thread >>7363712

quickposes.com/en Made some concept pages for my comic im planning. Ive been doing master studies of comics for a while now, but figured I should test my skills and see what I can make.
The plots an occult detective story,
"In turn of the century Australia, a young nihilistic detective is called to a drying gold town, to investigate a series local livestock thefts, with some being found sacrificed in the forest. He meets a local squatters, mysterious anti natalist daughter (squatters being landowners), who joins the investigation.
Their arc involves them encountering demonic, silent hill type events, which teach them of the existence of true evil, and if their is true evil, then their must also be true/divine good that we can aspire to reach."
Love any critiques on the art, as well as the story. I know that first off, my faces could use work, and probably my figures too.
I think Ill keep doing master studies of comics, but Im debating whether or not I should make some shorter one shot comics, and maybe try and get them published in some indie anthology publishers Ive met at conventions.
Basically critique me, and tell me if work like this is good enough to self publish, or if I should go back to master studies for a good while I mean yes Super autist like CWC never improve because they draw a lot but they haven't ever put any real effort to improve. The fact they are lost inside their fantasies and never see outside is why they are super autists.
>ZERO fundies studies.
>Zero observation skills
>Zero Master copies.
At best they will steal or half ass a picture of the anime/cartoon they like to plagiarize it thats it. Do your fundies, do your studies and you will be fine. Evil people are trying to demotivate you. I've been going through a creative slump and decided to rewatch blue period to get inspired and watching Yatora do the summer homework and improve so much inspired me to create my very own challenge for artists based on it. Maybe I'll create a dis so everyone interested can collectively share their works.
either way hopefully this inspires someone in a slump or someone looking to improve their overall skills. happy arting! For the sucessful artists here, how did you guys start getting followers and commissions on social media after starting from absolute zero? I don't want tips on how to do it, I just want actual examples. Back from the dead and started drawing again, what have my fellow pixel artists been up to?
My most recent work is this one, took me 37 hours. Will prob. work more on it the next days.
(I don't have the old thread copypasta anymore and I'm too lazy to look for the archive) Maybe some people here will like my art Recently I've been seen transparent spots in my eyesight called ''floaters'' apparently is a harmless affection but the sudden increase of these may need a check-up..
My Dad also was diagnosticated with Cataracts today and I can't even afford his treatment much less my own. I'm terrified of the idea of loosing my eyes..
Is there more anons here with eyesight problems to share?, I'm really sorry if this is offtopic in any way but I need to cope with this fucking feeling.
Also, a thread about health and prevention, I don't think it's bad from time to time. We take it for granted that we will be healthy for the rest of our lives but hey, I'm only 28 years old and I already feel like my world is going to shit, maybe I should take care of you. what could this poicture mean This game is cute and I drew my character that was created there Why are female artists so manipulative and arrogant?

I'm not saying the general style it's groundbreaking or anything, but something like pic related is far from "ugly and soulless" like the fanbase claims imo Public schools should teach kids how to draw from observation at the very least. People are visually illiterate. Same goes for music. What's the cleverest trick you have seen used to make art ? ITT you render a sphere however you like Also, what is this outline thickness to show light technique called? Art with an emphasis on landscapes, plants, animals, and mythical creatures are welcome!

Previous Thread: >>7208201 Having /pro/ tier draftmanship will not save your work if your art style is bland af to begin with I have hand tremors. Stabilizers have helped me immensely with digital art, are there any "irl" stabilizers i could use? I've heard some stuff about compression gloves that they use on autistic kids who can't write I'm gonna give some context first.
I'm an artist that works with traditional and i want to have traction in the internet doing the things i like.
I have many, but one of them is about cake (if you know, you know, unsure if this board accepts saying that word). This is an issue because I live with relatives and they might find them eventually and a big problem would happen.
To solve this issue, I came up with the idea of doing safe for works about that, but with some suggestive elements just to express my hidden interest on nsfw cake stuff. But here comes the second issue, which is that the few audience I have as well as the artists i'm in contact might found I'm into that and a big problem would happen as well.
So I'm between two worlds because I'm questioning if this is ok or not. Maybe i should move the safer cake works to my main socials and the questionable ones for, idk, baraag and pixiv?
I'm unsure about this. Can anyone help me with this please? Do most artists really draw without construction? I've been watching Steve Huston's courses, and it kind of seems that only beginners seem to draw with construction like he does? All the seasoned artists appear to 'just draw it' without much visible construction. Am I missing something? I'm a fairly newer user of the website, I started posting art back in 2021, and for the past 3 years I've never had any real issues or major dramas on the site until recently (around august of this year). Is there some kind of secret blacklist? I just woke up one morning to go upload some art and I noticed that I was descouted after having a bunch of my art deleted. I figured maybe I overlooked a rule and broke something so I didn't think too much of it but then I started to notice that I was getting rejected left and right from a ton of collabs (which previously has never happened plus I've hosted a collab fairly recently also in August). Then I noticed that my newer community posts keep getting deleted. Am I on some kind of secret blacklist?? And how would I know if I've done something to piss off the moderators, I'm not a really active member of the community or any circle jerks I just kind of post my art and occasionally join collabs without saying anything. It's a brush made to mimic Vine Charcoal. Tighter on the lines, but still look slightly messy around the edges with lines that aren't super dark.
Looking for clones or similar brushes.
I've asked in the dbag thread and looked around on clip studio shop and none of the brushes are even close.
They all seem to be either too tight and sharp, or too loose and messy. Nothing like this that i could find. Would greatly appreciate any help in how to make or find a clone for this brush.
Also, prefer to have similar texture as well. can anyone critique this arm I drew? it's looks ok for the most part but I feel like there's something off, specifically with the muscles. tried posting in /beg/ but got no response so I figured to just make it a thread. >You can sit and comfortably copy the same anime character, but are you really growing by doing this?

Literally fucking niggers your watermarks. I'm so sick of this shit. Just a week ago we had a thread asking why artists put watermarks on their drawing and there were a lot of responses saying it was to stop theft. Yet here we are. The niggers niggering once more. It's not even dubious at this point, it's overtly stealing. Before even though it was clearly stealing they could claim innocence to some degree, at this point this shit is criminal. People don't place watermarks on photos as some quirky little thing. It's supposed to protect intellectual property until you've been paid. I used to send clients watermarked photos as proof of product before accept payment, now? What if one of those fuckers is a little nigger that will just magically remove the watermark? Glaze/Nightshade needs to implement a watermark feature into their tool. This is nonsense. how does my art make you feel

https://x.com/Kuvshinov_Ilya/status/1869200356183552225 I want to learn oil painting so I can open a school. Anyone else? I already own Clip Studio Paint. Don't color much, though it would like to try and learn to be able to color in both simple and more complex ways. Picrel shows some coloring styles i would love to be able to mimic after learning.
With that in mind, should i buy either of these humble bundles? Better question, do you think that i need Paintstorm or Corel Painter 2023 (latest version) to be able to easily mimic these coloring/painting styles? Or would Clip Studio be enough with some downloaded brushes?
I heard that other apps like Corel Painter have better grasp at realism in brushes, but i'm unsure if i would need that in my coloring or if the emulation from CSP would be enough. A Japanese anime director reflected on his own story of how he gave up on being an animator because his senior (most likely a boomer) told him that this video related is THE BARE MINIMUM level he needed to become an animator.
Note: It's not, this scene was animated by an exceptionally talented animator Masahiro Ando who later directed Sword of the Stranger.
