>New here? Please read best practices.

1. Don't post too revealing works (especially porn). If you think it's too lewd, post a censored copy here and link to Catbox (https://catbox.moe/) or any off-site that hosts images for your works. You may also link back to /b/.

2. Keep it to 2D Anime/Cartoon characters only. Do not post chiId photo references (legal or otherwise), and do not talk about issues regarding real children.

3. It is recommended to let the thread reach page 6-7 before starting a new one.

/mmg/ - Manga Making General
1742738391409100
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.

The Annotated Snowglobe,Part One
SnowglobeCastle
Once upon a time,stuck in a waiting room, I drew a random picture in a new sketchbook I brought to kill the time. It was a demon head, and then I thought of Why it was there. And spawned this story,taking a decade and 180 strips later it is only two thirds told.

It was very rough in the beginning, unplanned, unconceived,a haphazard journey that my sleepy mind oozed onto each page,and only after 30 strips in was taken seriously. And I watched the story grow.

I will share this with you all.

***DISCLAIMER***

These are "storyboards",never meant as Product,but wound up on my website because I had nothing else to upload. I will "translate" the chicken scratch wriwhere neccessary, and toss a few tidbits of facts for consideration. So,any and all crabs who decide to deride the story will be simply stating their retardation by doing so.

With that said,enjoy.

Why you should not trust youtube shills:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VH1WEYF8rlA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Twy5Wo8m284

Do not worry pressure levels. 1024 is more than enough.
Remember to ignore all chinese shills. They often post paid twitter promos from random artists. It's all shilling, ignore it.

Recommended tablets:

>Screenless:
Used 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" Gen 1-5
Large (22"+): Cintiq 22, Cintiq Pro 27

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 displays. 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 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). Just ignore and report him.

>New iPads
Massively overpriced and overhyped.

>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.

No, they're not magnets or infohashes; they're just plain old URLs that have been encoded. We're doing this to keep bots and scripts from recognizing them as URLs and harvesting/reporting them. The recap posts at the top of the threads have GIFs or WEBMs explaining how to use them. Also, some of the encoded links *may* have multiple layers - like ogres ... or onions! You might have to "peel" them more than once to get to the good part.

How can I draw manga for 8 hours a day?

It doesn't have to be manga - this can also be a general art question. All /ic/ anons are welcome.

I get tired after just 2 hours a day. And doing it consistently every day is so hard. Meanwhile, Japanese mangaka are doing 10+ hours a day. Even gag mangaka like the Roboco mangaka work 6 days a week. I just don't know how they do it.

>Publicly editable rentry for CSP assets.
https://rentry.org/CSP_materials
Feel free to contribute brushes you have purchased. Assets that have been deleted from the store are also welcome to be uploaded here.

>CSP assets store wishlist.
https://rentry.org/Brush_Wishlist

>"How do I request brushes?"
1.) Please check the CSP rentry and encoded external rentry first before requesting them in the thread.
2.) If they aren't there, then you should ask the thread.
3.) Post a link of the brushes you're requesting. It will make it faster for the anons interested in purchasing them for the thread.

>"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.

>"Are there other brush sets aside from the CSP ones?" / "Has this brush set been uploaded before?"
Check the archive. Chances are if it's popular some anon has uploaded it already.

>"What brush is in the OP picture?"
Brush in the OP pic is in the CSP assets rentry. (ID:1778102)

If you draw porn, how do you not get horny in the middle of drawing it? Or get horny by looking at your reference?
I know porn can literally be a motivation for lots of artists, but how do you actually focus on improving instead of lusting and masturbating in the middle of it?

/lit/ recently wrapped up its monthly writing contest (17 short stories were submitted and voted on >>>/lit/24240097).

At the beginning of April, a book is going to be made of all the entries—it's going to to look something like this:
https://files.catbox.moe/847oya.pdf
>161 pages

Us authors (yes, I'm an emissary from /lit/) have been discussing the prospect of including illustrations in the book for this month's (March's) stories.
There's a writing contest on /lit/, why not match it with an illustration contest on /ic/?
Here's how to participate:

1. Read one of the top-six stories from March:
(btw I am not one of these authors)
>'Frankenstein; or, The Modern Pygmalion' by meteor
https://rentry.co/y5289rey
Or
>'M22' by Heng
https://rentry.co/M22_Heng
Or
>'Chicago' by Meadowlisp
https://rentry.co/chicago_meadowlisp
Or
>Cotton Candy Grapes™' by edisonm
https://rentry.co/FrozenCottonCandyGrapes
Or
>'The Visitor' by Watson
https://rentry.co/the_visitor
Or
>'Wotan' by Pancakesyrup
https://rentry.co/9of5iwny

2. Make a piece of art inspired from what you read!
(No resolution requirement, but dimension-ratio should be 4:5, portrait).

3. Post your art in this thread using a trip
>In the name field, write "MyName" + "#" + "8CharacterPassword"
And also mention somewhere which story your illustration is for.

4. You have until April 1st to "submit," i.e. post your art in this thread --> At that point a Strawpoll will be created, which will be up until 11:59 PM GMT April 5th.
The winning illustration will be elected through the votes on Strawpoll, and will grace the cover of the book containing March's stories (as well as granting its artist bragging rights as the first-ever /ic/-Illustration-Contest winner).

**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.**

Please stop drawing. AI can draw for you also the animation industry is ruined ummm fine art is nepotism so no point in doing trad what else. i have autism no asian genes. my hand is broken in 36 places. mama didn't love me. my dad beats me every day with iron boot. hmm what else am i missing
+10 social credits
also don't you feel so insecure about your drawing despite being a total beginner and then comparing yourself to other people who've been drawing way longer but that doesn't mean anything because they're so good now and probably never drew as bad as you are drawing today. they're probably laughing at you and how bad you are and that is why nobody should draw. sometimes drawing is hard so give up. don't do it. I'm telling you. also nobody cares about your anime your trad your art you are bad and you should feel bad always. fuck you

Anime is ""mainstream""
slopigging
Got this docu recommended about "German Mangakas" not being able to make a living off of their "manga"
First things out of the way
-AI inbetweens used multiple times
-caught this ogre selling ai slop
Don't argue.

Now unto the thing itself.
-They complain about long working hours, burnout and all the usual stuff
-They complain about publishers not enabling them to make a living when these can only pay out by what they sell, meaning they aren't selling a lot.

European comics have been struggling for decades that they print at the bare minimum and you might not be wrong to say they've died out, yet these "Mangakas" think they can make a living in an oversaturated global market, in their own country where comic and reading culture has been completely eradicated by the internet and where the majority of the demand is for imported Made in Japan shonen.
There is no demand for other stuff because everyone doesn't read anything and they "like anime".

I can't tell you the names of any current European comics, except very old ones like Dylan Dog, Diabolik and Tex, because there is no real culture or presence of it unlike 20+ years ago because you would see those either being advertised or displayed at kiosks and newspaper stands, or in the case of the examples; because someone else read them.
Basically, there is no exposure at the social level, unlike Japan where they are more or less surrounded by Manga everywhere they look that there is a huge demand, support, advertisement, options and a system to get your work out there
In Europe? The same old boomers, weebs and no one advertising outside the niche.

What's the non-jap exposure to manga/anime? After school cartoons on TV and maybe they watch all the shonen stuff on Crunchyroll and Netflix of course Hentai, too.

My point is; If you want to pursue Manga outside of Japan, at least be as good as the Japs, learn to read and write and use European mythology/culture and stop doing/consuming nothing but shonenslop.

As artists should we be trying to perfect our projects, or just move on to new projects?
texas_yellow_site_1627056357_163
For example, I'm drawing a short horror comic, about halfway through now, and one of my friends thinks that I should go back once I'm finished and redo a good bit of it, redraw and add some more pages, as he thinks my pacing is too fast.

Says that alot of famous directors and artists would redo their pieces over months and months, but my thoughts were that I should take what I've learnt from this project (which I'm already a bit bored by), and use them in my next short comic.

So the point is, should we just leave things as they are, or try for perfection?

/dsg/ dynamic sketching general
peter pan
-TRUE UP 2025 edition-

plantanon/carpal tunnel anon, I'm bringing it back, here's a copy paste of the previous OP:

This is a thread for those who want to go through dynamic sketching as a group in an effort to improve drawing skills starting from the very fundamentals. Here we share the tedious grind, crit and encourage each others.
Please specify the week you're on and if it's dynamic sketching 1 or 2 when posting your work.

>What's Dynamic Sketching?
A class by Peter Han that focus on improving draftsmanship, construction and design. It is intended for beginners, but the second class can be useful even for /int/. It covers a wide variety of subjects, but not figure drawing.

>Where to get it?
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:0aebc0f02e6c179b62e04c69af3e5adee3abee12&dn=IC-STUDY

\Course\Form and Construction\

>Peter Han says to get a lot of material, are they needed?
Your choice. Honestly, just draw. Use what you have. But if you want, you can get it. You can do it digitally, but try to refrain from using ctrl+z and other features. At the end of the day though, do what you want. As long as you put the work you're gonna see progress.

>I'm /int/ (as if, pyw faggot), should I bother?
If you want to expand your range of subjects, I recommend it. It also covers a lot of fundies that doesn't hurt to revisit. I suggest you start with DS2 though.

>SCHEDULE
>DS1
week 1: Lines and ellipses
week 2: Organic forms and textures
week 3: Perspective, basic of light
week 4: Form intersections
week 5: (Optional) Materials: markers, paint, pencils, etc.
week 6: Plants
week 7: Redesign
week 8: Preview of DS2: military vehicles
>DS2
week 1: Recap of DS1
week 2: Insects
week 3: Bones
week 4: Animals
week 5: Cars
week 6: Military vehicles
week 7: Planes
week 8: Reworking, Portfolio, New redesigns

How do I actually force myself to draw? I've been wanting to draw for nearly 2 years now and have barely made any progress towards that goal. I've only done one Loomis face like 2 years ago and haven't done any exercises or line work since then. I've been trying to get myself to draw, but all of it looks too complicated and exhausting for me. I've tried multiple different strategies, but they never seem to work. I've tried forcing myself to draw, but can only make myself draw circles for barely 30 seconds before stopping and looking at my phone again.

I've got a couple of drawing books and a drawing tablet for my PC and barely touched them.

My shaky hands fuck up every drawing I make, and I can barely do lines without fucking them up. I can't use my shoulder, I only feel good using the motions of my fingers.

Can anyone help?

retard proof drawing plan
brainlet
I have ADHD and I need a retard proof path to hitting low /int/ from nothing

The problem with ADHD is that if the barrier to doing something is too high, I won't be able to do it at all.
For example, with my other hobbies I will spend months or years waffling and procrastinating ordering parts for a project, and then I will work 12 hours straight until 4am to complete it. Then it's right back to 300 open tabs worth of youtube videos that I will never get around to watching.

With drawing, I don't know what to draw, or what to work on, or how to gauge my progress, so I end up not doing it or quitting after 5 minutes.
I need a very simple and clear list of projects to do, goals to complete, and criteria upon which to evaluate my work, in order, that will take me from nothing to /int/ level

Will he finally learn anime now that the 100 heads challenge is done?
Now he wants to get away from doing one-to-one copies and instead focus on taking a real life reference and drawing it in an anime style or a semi-realistic style, because in anime proportions can differ from style to style and so it's hard to get a consistent feel for how things should look. He thinks he could better do that by finding his own way and style.

Discuss his approach to anime? Should we all follow it?

Where to get started with drawing VFX?
FuANsOBWYAIB8xI
I want to draw magic effects (Ice, Fire, Electrical, Water) etc for my indie game. It's pixel art but I guess it would be the same process as any other stylized vfx you would find in manga/anime etc. Any courses, books, anything? Do I just copy references and hope it gets internalized? Is this extremely hard to learn (even if it's just a serviceable level)? Also why are there no threads here about vfx?

Master studies thread
1719581255755232
Is it worth it to study 1 artist religiously alongside the fundamentals when you're in the beginning stages of taking art seriously, and then start emulating and incorporating others while you're advancing?
For example, my main goal is to make comics but I also strive to reach an advanced level purely speaking about core art skills.
Due to his more semi-realistic yet exaggerated art style and master draftmanship, I'll start emulating and studying Yukito Kishiro as much as I can and incorporate all the things I like about his work into mine, then once I have a good grasp both of his style and fundies I could switch to studying more cartoonish and stylized styles like the ones of Hiroyuki Takei, Kazuki Takahashi or Kokimantarou.

/life/ general
IMG_0268
Welcome to /life/. Drawing from life is a great way to learn from and appreciate the world around you as a means to inspire your art. Many artists, most notably Kim Jung Gi, drew from life constantly, and talked about how beneficial it was to his art journey. So whether it’s someone on a bench, a fire extinguisher, or your own hand…if it’s drawn from life, post it here!

/dbag/ - Digital Brushes and Assets General

>Publicly editable rentry for CSP assets.
https://rentry.org/CSP_materials
Feel free to contribute brushes you have purchased. Assets that have been deleted from the store are also welcome to be uploaded here.

>CSP assets store wishlist.
https://rentry.org/Brush_Wishlist

>"How do I request brushes?"
1.) Please check the CSP rentry and encoded external rentry first before requesting them in the thread.
2.) If they aren't there, then you should ask the thread.
3.) Post a link of the brushes you're requesting. It will make it faster for the anons interested in purchasing them for the thread.

>"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.

>"Are there other brush sets aside from the CSP ones?" / "Has this brush set been uploaded before?"
Check the archive. Chances are if it's popular some anon has uploaded it already.

>"What brush is in the OP picture?"
Brush in the OP pic is in the CSP assets rentry. (ID:1743246)

Assymetry

I just can't fix it. Everything I draw comes out like this. I've been improving in other ways but I just can't fix this.

I've tried:
- flipping the canvas
- doing symmetry exercises
- focusing on where I'm drawing
- not focusing, and keeping a general gaze on the entire structure

Nothing works. Do I just give up and start calling it my "style" and hope people are cool with it?

Your art will look like shit, even if you keep polishin' it, cuz you can't learn appeal from a book!
All those studies, all those copies, and your precious little fundies, they don't mean squat without appeal!

Why do big tits artists keep drawing the head smaller? Like you look at their old artwork and the head is normal sized, but their new art has girls with tiny little heads. This shit is fucking ridiculous, like a curse.

There is a very strong interest in, especially on this website, on where your “level” is as an artist. This can be useful in interpreting what you should work on, but it’s a damaging perception to have when assessing art on a larger scale, because it’s so absolute. It leads to people looking at drawings and wondering “what level is this at?” And not “what aesthetic is this person trying to push?” Or “in what ways does this make me think?” Dare I say, it’s a bit of a shallow way to look at art. Art isn’t just a video game that you level up in as you learn. Lots of artists here think that once they learn their fundies, they’ll be out of high beg. Once I get those studies done, I’ll be an /int/. Art This mentality creates a subset of artists more concerned with the consequence of hard work than with the hard work itself
-“how can I leave /beg/ in under a year?”
-“it only takes (x amount of time) to leave beg”
-“am I too old to start drawing?”
all these questions stink of “how can I get away with doing as little as possible and get the most results?” Which is the issue with many nowadays, is they want those results but won’t put in the work to get them. And the hard truth is you have to work hard as shit as a /beg/ and a /pro/

If you are struggling with angles and proportions, do this
1737932410791949
I've struggled with accurately capturing shapes and angles without using a grid so the past few days I have copied dozens of this sorts of polygon sheets. Just do an image search for polygons and you'll find hundreds of these things. Anyway, they are excellent practice for working on your ability to see proportional relationships between lines and for identifying angles between them. Even in just a couple days I've noticed a big difference in my drawing.

I highly recommend it.

types of filters censoring
I need some help here.

I know black shapes and pixelate filters are totally legal because they're the usual censoring techniques in manga.
But.

What happens if you combine them?
Is that still legally allowed?
And what if you use the black shape technique but as acurate mask and use an inverse operation on the lineart?
Is that allowed?
Because if type B is not allowed, then type C should be technically allowed, because is mixing two techniques that are common in manga.
