>TRY TO BE ACTIVE AND GIVE PEOPLE SOME FEEDBACK.
When giving feedback, avoid vague "advice" - point what's wrong and try to give the anon you're quoting a clear direction
to improve their art (study heads < watch THIS VIDEO about head structure, read THIS SECTION of THIS ARTIST'S BOOK, etc).
You, feedback seeking anon, should also try to be clear and concise when asking for critique/help.
When posting your artwork, say what you want help with, and what's your goal with the study/artwork.

I'm having an exhibition next year of my work, and these questions are going to fuck me in the ass.

Why you should not trust youtube shills:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VH1WEYF8rlA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Twy5Wo8m284
Do not read anything into pressure levels. 1024 is more than enough.
If you have any additional questions, ask them.
Remember to ignore all chinese shills.
Recommended tablets:
>Screenless:
Intuos 3, 4, 5, Pro, One by Wacom
>Display:
Small (10-11"): Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite
Medium (12-16"): Samsung Galaxy Tab S8/S9 Ultra, used iPad Pro 12.9"
Large (22"+): Wacom Cintiq 22, Cintiq Pro 27 - Make sure they have VESA standard mounting holes.
>Avoid:
XP-Pen, Huion, Gaomon and every other Chinese brand making Wacom imitations.
Poor build quality, pens with wavy lines, wobbly nibs, broken tilt, issues registering light pressure, terrible customer support, uncalibrated. All Chinese brands have the same problems. Check out the webm to understand how bad they are.
Do not be fooled by myths like "Chink companies are just as good as Wacom now" - they've been saying this for over 8 years, nothing has really changed. Consider reading the amazon reviews, particularly the negative spectrum and you will find some very common themes.
Chinese companies have also been proven to shill on 4chan. Someone in the /csg/ general on /g/ once got an email from Gearbest asking him to post positively about them on the "csg chinkshit general thread" on 4chan's /g/ board. You will very likely see dozens upon dozens of aggressive, insult-laden posts in this thread; always assume they're from a marketing department.
>Microsoft Surface Pro
More optimized for palm rejection than good quality drawing. Wobbly lines when drawing slow and straight.
>Cintiq 13-16"
Completely outclassed by the Galaxy Tab Ultra & iPad
>Cintiq Pro 16, 24, 32
Overpriced, QC issues, loud fans, proprietary mount interface
>Lenovo
Worse than Samsung in every way.
Recommended tablets:
>Pen tablets (non display)
Wacom Intuos

Xencelab Pen Tablet
XP Pen Deco
>Display tablets

>What tablets does /dtg/ use?
https://strawpoll.com/polls/NoZrLOmrDn3
>General guidelines when picking a tablet:
- All of the recommended models are part of large lines with multiple sizes/generations available. Buy the biggest/newest in your budget. Medium-Large pen tablets or 16-24" display tablets are considered the sweet spot by most artists.
- If you don't see a tablet you're interested in listed, ask about it. This isn't a definitive list, just one to give you an idea where to start looking.
- Avoid Chinese tablets 4+ years old or made by literally who brands like gaomon, ugee, parblo, etc. They were generally dogshit, and the reason Wacom had a monopoly for so many years. Newer models from huion and xp-pen are much better.
- Wacom is still the industry standard, but they're overpriced. Chinese brands have mostly caught up in the past few years and will provide a near identical user experience for a fraction of the price.

Who do you think of when you're tempted not to draw?
Who fuels your hatred to the point it gives you energy?
Who do you want to surpass so badly that it moves you to tears?
Hate and spite are very strong emotions, emotions that have driven many men of the past to achieve monumental things.
When I was studying morpho, I active wrote observations and connections to help remember.

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.

How the fuck do you draw like him. He is like a modern day michelangelo. How do you get his style?
I know that in art, you don't actually need a degree, your skills and portfolio is what matters. I heard that master's are mostly for people who are trying to become professors. If you're not doing that, nor trying to get hired by someone else, then is there really a point in going? At the moment I don't have aspirations to work in the art world, show up in galleries, or get an art job where someone pays me. I am hiring myself, work made by me, paid by me. I want to draw my own stuff and launch it online.
I don't know if I will find what I am looking for if I get into an MFA program.
Maybe an MFA program will teach me stuff like marketing and presenting my art better.
I realized I am easily distracted off the art path and don't thrive without a good peer group and mentorship.
I want an environment to focus on and improve my own art, be surrounded by established artists who just want more edge in their careers, and get mentorship.
Debt won't be an issue for me. Tuition is free and I will get a stipend with my schooling. My current job(s) are also pretty flexible.
Rules:
>Do not take the bait or derail. Don't be a sperg.

THEY LITERALLY REVEALED THIS COSTUME 30 MINUTES BEFORE THIS POST
One of us!
Like when you watch someone construct a character with basic shapes, you copy it (as in you draw it yourself not trace) just to get a feel of how to construct characters, even if you don't know a huge amount about the fundamentals of drawing/perspective etc. etc.?
I figured it may help you get used to drawing characters even if it won't allow you to get very far (that's not really the point, but it'll at least get your brain used to drawing characters so you can learn the rest much more easily).
However, this may just be because I learnt other skills in a similar way before I was able to apply what I learnt to my own things. Is this a valid learning method early on?
I don't care what it is or if you're a beginner or a pro, I want to see something you've done and hear your thoughts about it; what you thought of while you were creating it, the problems that arose and the solutions you found for them
You DID draw today, didn't you anon?

What are the fucking stats for this shit? I refuse believe that luck has such a role in making it. Marketing maybe, but random trash and slop always seems to pop out of nowhere with minimal presence. Fuck

A lot of JPs seem to use and a lot of pictures of construction seem to have it
They don't use the Loomis head or anything like that, I want a slice of this pie, I don't think anyone knows where it comes from
MAYBE maybe it's boxes, but I wouldn't know where to go to learn it properly
Maybe it comes with skill and time. but I can't see how something like Loomis evolves into this
Do you think copying actually makes you better?

What are some other artists that used to be incredibly influential but fell off to the wayside in recent years?
Fast forward years later and although I've clearly improved a lot, I've never once felt satisfied with my art.
No matter how many likes I get, how many people praise it, it's no use if I can't like it myself. I wonder if the artists who inspire are aware of how good they are, if they are able to appreciate their own drawings.
I feel empty and I've been dreading the possibility that this hobby just isn't for me.
Why even try anymore
>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.

As someone who has been drawing "wrong" all this time. How do I ensure I get a solid understanding of the basics?
What even are the basics?
Construction, perspective, color theory and anatomy?
I want to draw human figures that look appealing and 3d.
I want to draw scenes in various angles instead of "anime girl staring at the void full frontal or 3/4ths".
I wish I had someone to mentor me and keep me in the right path.
1. Manmade objects, vehicles, tool, weapons etc. (of any kind and any historical era, as long as they fall in the ballpark of "technology") and fictional derivatives of such
2. Objects,vehicles, creatures etc. that aesthetically fall into the visual space of mecha/robot/artificial/cybernetics etc. regardless of level of realism.
Helpful to mention the level of realism, if any, you are taking into account in the art.

>What the hell are these links?
Pay attention to the GIFs in the first two or three posts. Don't understand some of the terms? Google them. It's not that hard.
Some of the links may have layers - like ogres or onions. You might have to "peel" them more than once to get to the good part.

If it's really important how do you learn this?
It's very helpful for me. Made it easy to draw dynamic poses
>50k followers on twitter
>saw the beatnik meme of raising your comm prices to $20 an hour
>charge $400 for my comms now
>instantly lose 3000 followers and way less people liking and rting my art, literally nobody asked me for comms for weeks
>twiddle my thumbs everyday to drop it back to $75 per full color because i need the money
are we permanently doomed to charge $4 an hour for comms now
>I have no followers/never received commissions for my shitty art
> I have studied all fundies,memes,draw bridgman two times over and over again with no avail
> No defined art style
>No anything
>Its just shit
> However I do it since I basically suck at virtually everything this world has to offer in terms of hobbies and jobs (including gayming) and drawing is "what I have some affinity with" in spite of me hating my own works

Like a 30 minute drawing is usually better than a 1 hour drawing. And if I put 2 hours into it, it gets even worse.
Art with an emphasis on landscapes, plants, animals, and mythical creatures are welcome!

I want to be a real anime arts!
Online communities are either reddit/twitter normie hugboxes, dead discord servers full of autistic/socially retarded twitter artists, active discord servers full of wannabe calarts trannies, or /ic/ where people pull shit from their ass because theres no way to verify their credibility.
It seems fun but places either have overwhelming detail or not enough to make an interesting drawing.
How realistic is doing art fulltime?
I'd much rather do art stuff and hope to make a living out of it than get a wageslave job tbf, also my country has stupidly good pay for jobless people so I could pretty much survive on no job and just focus on art stuff until it would actually pay out.
How realistic is doing art full time. How much is it luck based. Best ways to do it ie drawing furryporn in twitter or trying to get reputation as like an actual "actual" artist.
Is pic related good enough to trick retards?
I help run a digital art club and I think it'd be a good exercise for the kids, I just can't find this picture on my hard drive.
1. Did you draw a lot as a kid?
2. Even when you sucked at drawing (either at a young age or for late bloomers, as a teen/adult), did you find it fun? Or did you have to force yourself to draw when you were bad?
I'm so lost.
I dont know how to do it.
People said to read gurney but i just learnt real life tools and paints from it. I learnt very little about painting like techniques strokes or fucking anything.
Ironically a lot of them teaches shit that not single modern book teaches, like composition and ornaments.
Not modern art book teaches properly the WHY of beauty in a drawing.
I'll start.
Why the fuck do the traps sometime grip onto the top edges of the scapula and act as an extension of it, caused by the arm being lifted at a acute angle, instead of obtuse, this happens regularly in the human body and is copied in art, but no one explains this pose, additionally why has the deep trap muscles not received as much attention in anatomy, sort of like how sub striations are the back are ignored by everyone but a few artists?
2: Character design critique and discussion is welcome.
3: Keep it fairly SFW. Lewds are fine but no explicit porn.
4: This is NOT a request thread. Artist Only. No spamming OC/infodumps for multiple threads without delivering.
5: Be sure to thank Drawfrens for their hard work as soon as you can, it's just common courtesy :^)

But it's hard to find more like it. Let's post all we have
Should I just google YCH bases I’m google and yandex and cannibalize them for my animations and my art and other stuff?
Use this thread instead of making new threads or post in the drawthread with fundamental exercises.

>TRY TO BE ACTIVE AND GIVE PEOPLE SOME FEEDBACK.
When giving feedback, avoid vague "advice" - point what's wrong and try to give the anon you're quoting a clear direction
to improve their art (study heads < watch THIS VIDEO about head structure, read THIS SECTION of THIS ARTIST'S BOOK, etc).
You, feedback seeking anon, should also try to be clear and concise when asking for critique/help.
When posting your artwork, say what you want help with, and what's your goal with the study/artwork.
