KNEEL
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.

pic rel is from 2009
I'm a beginner, and i can't draw a cute, realistic girl with pencils like this. The girl looks very nice, it reminds me a bit of Bouguereau. I have never seen such good work in a beg-thread.
Okey, it is just a simple portrait of a little girl, not really big art. But the disney-sketch on the left isn't high art ether.
So yeah, i'm not really pissed but very confused. And i don't know what i am missing here...
If you have any additional questions, ask them.
Remember to ignore all chinese shills.
>I'm thinking of getting the Wacom One, should I buy it?
Fuck off retard. Ask a better question.
>Recommended tablets:
>Intuos 3
Best screenless tablet. Look for one on Craigslist or Ebay.
>Intuos 4, 5 & Pro
Also good options. Will burn through your nibs.
>Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite
Budget portable display tablet. Very solid drawing experience with Wacom EMR tech, but a small 10.4" display area.
>Used iPad Pro 2nd Gen 12.9"
Best option for a display tablet.
>Galaxy Tab S7+/S8+
Good premium alternative to an iPad Pro
>Avoid:
>XP-Pen, Huion, Gaomon and every other Chinese brand
Poor build quality, lackluster pens, broken tilt, struggles to register light pressure, horrible customer support and the displays are not calibrated. All Chinese brands are basically the same because they're all centralized. Check out the webm to understand how bad they are. Also watch out, Chinese companies shill HARD on /ic/; they do a lot of samefagging and frequently hurl personal insults.
>Microsoft Surface Pro
The N-Trig digitizer means you will always get wobbly lines.
>Lenovo
Bad drawing performance because they're not designed with art in mind.
>Cintiqs & other desktop display tablets
Overpriced, prone to problems and will lead to back posture issues.
>iPads (brand new)
>iMacs and Macbooks
Never buy this garbage under any circumstance. It's a locked ecosystem with rubbish hardware you can't upgrade.

1. Don't post nudity or too revealing works.
When in doubt, post a censored copy here and link to the original off-site (e.g. litterbox/catbox, imgur, etc). Note: If you're having issues viewing catbox links, use a VPN.
2. **No Porn**.
No, not the retarded "anything with a body in it is porn" standard or "I see her underwear, MODSSS!!!" Use common sense.
3. Do not post sexualized child photo references. In fact, don't post pictures of children at all.
4. Due to the PPH (posts per hour/thread activity) of this general, please wait until the thread falls to around page 5 or 6 before making a thread. Use archived(moe) or warosu to retrieve the old threads.

It makes sense, it helps them make more money off art students, and this is specially common in online courses.
But what teachers go straight to the point, and actually teach you how to draw and paint?
I know that Bridgman, and based Vilppu actually teach you how to draw, and maybe Loomemes too, but who else?
Any pose. Any style.
As an overlay, or by redrawing the chair, whatever you want.

**Strive for quantity AND quality.**
Anime Studying:
>Copy anime references exactly and draw them from memory. 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.**

Trying to follow Qiu Fang's brushwork using hard round pressure size but it always comes out looking jank, have to rely on a flat brush to achieve certain edges.
Same w TB Choi, her lineart w the simple hard round is clean but when I try to remotely imitate it, I come nowhere close to resemblance. I know its a mileage thing but are there any pointers/tips that I should be following when I'm grinding this?
Pic related is my work, any help/crit is appreciated :'-)
A true artist is a fucking beast at linework and can sell work based on linework alone, THAT takes true skill and even more if it's done traditionally. You don't need anything more than a white canvas and black ink to output incredible stuff, but you decide to stay in your safe lane over-painting turds and encourage the community to follow suit as well
I've tried blue light glasses, but they're tinted yellow of course. They help my eyes but distort color. I've tried avoiding white canvas in favor of more off-white/tan canvas. It helps a little too.
How about you guys? Any tips? Just suck it up?

You see when I wasn't studying it I had a sense of how to render and I did it with meh results but most importantly I actually finished pictures. Now that i'm actively studying ( courses tutorials studies etc.) I can only paint studies but can't transfer anything that I've picked up and successfully applied it to my own art.
It's like I'm petrified to fail all of a sudden and lately i spent HOURS brute forcing everything i touch, looking at countless pictures for references and inspiration, and doing all of these studies. Hell I picked up watercolors because I figure trad would aid in understanding how to paint better.
What am I doing wrong, and how do I bridge the gap?
Pic related is my work and i regularly posted in the OC threads till recently.
Thank you for helping an anon out in advance :)
>Paypal is blocked in Russia
What are good paypal alternatives that still work with us that aren't bitcoin?
Pic related is something I'd refer as actual intermediate, and yet finding art servers were most people draw on around this skill level or higher is almost impossible. Why it is like that?
I get stumped either on the form, or rendering, or color, or whatever else. I just feel like there's something fundamentally WRONG with all of my art. I will see countless shitty artists constantly pumping out art and improving yet even their shitty art is better than mine. There's just something off about everything I create and I'm not sure what it is, but it makes me feel like it's not even worth finishing.
If I could guess, it's that I can never find the right reference for whatever I need, so I end up frankensteining multiple refs together and it looks shit. Don't hae the means to just hire a model so I'm stuck with online refs. I also strugle with backgrounds, and color. Coming up with compositions and poses as I said is the absolute worst part for me.
Other than that, I just don't know what's wrong with me. Currently staring at a blank page trying to come up with thumbnail sketches for a Ranni piece I've been trying to do, and just can't fucking come up with anything.

This is something that happens frequently in my drawings, especially if the subject doesn't have defined muscles or if there is little foreshortening. If I render or add shade with hatches, it does help, but I wish to be able to translate all forms with lines alone like legoman. any advice on this?

For me, the point of a hobby is to have fun. Drawing truly was fun, but over time the fun faded away and all that was left is worry and anguish. It's embarrassing. After years of drawing, my skill is at the same adolescent level: I'm a permabeg.
So the point of a hobby is to have fun, but this has not been fun for me for a long time. The drawings I produce are shit, and I have not improved at all. People have given me much heartfelt, good advice many, many times but I have not been able to take it.
I have tried several times to quit because of this, for art just isn't something I am able to do. But each time I have tried to quit, I have inevitably gotten back into it.
The longest amount of time I've been able to quit from art was about a month. That's all. I have tried to quit so many times but I always return, and still get sad, even more so.
Art depresses me. I can't do it. But I also can't not do it. I don't know why I keep getting back to it.
So what do I do?
Try to quit again? If so, how do I actually stop properly and forever?
To find some new kind of enjoyment through art? If so, how do I go about doing that?
What do you fill your backpack with? Loomis books? Sketchbooks? The Ipad Pro 12.9? Decide quickly.
