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.

Stop thinking "I will get good in years" and instead say "I will get good in days", see how much it improves your performance and will to drawing!
Please stop replying to crabs, nodraws and howies and instead focus on posted works!

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.
>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, keep discussion at a civil level.
>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.

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

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

Do you think it's good enough? i feel it's a bit crude and would've liked to give more definition to the muscles around the back but the day ended and i had more stuff to do
What do?
They've resisted becoming office workers and companies have responded in kind by turning creative work into gig work and telling artists to market themselves on artstation. With AI we've seen another retreat, many talented pros leaving and expressing they will make it on their etsy shop alone (lol) and telling other artists to do the same.
It's like artists agreed to the worst parts of both being your own business - no steady paycheck - and being a wage slave - asskissing, strict hours. If artists want stable jobs with benefits they shouldn't see themselves as different than the factory worker.
If we get 20+ sincere replies I'll just make a new general for it.

**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.**

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.

All formats of webcomics are welcome. PYW and show us what you got.
>Why would I make one?
To be rich & famous, of course. All jokes aside, the pay is low if you're lucky enough to get hired in the first place, the deadlines are more brutal than the manga industry, and the average reader age floats around 11. But as a novel medium with a growing industry, it may still be worthwhile enough for you to experiment.

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" Gen 1-5
Large (22"+): Cintiq 22HD, 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 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. 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.

Who else but a flightless bird could be so emblematic of the struggle, but also so loveable?
She has a YT channel where she's posted a few tutorials and a lot of speedpaints:

What I'm really impressed by is how -fast- she seems to put out work...
Her pieces are pretty detailed and she seems to be able to get it done in a single sitting

An anon here pointed out that the technical ability to draw a thing and the stuff that makes men's blood boil are two separate skills. What is that sexual energy to capture it?
I've seen many well-made pieces of NSFW that fail to spark lust and yet there are rough doodles that drip with sexual tension. Part of it seems to be in suggestion and mystery--tools that allow the viewer to connect to the art because it asks of him to take part in putting together the sex. Art that makes space for the viewer to participate.
What makes adult art hot and what about it turns people on? It's something more intangible than the naked female form.
how would you fix this?

Per usual, don't respond to bait and simply report/ignore anything that isn't conducive to drawing.
I still use reference, and I put much more time in them, but even if I were to take them to the next level and fully clean up stray marks, they look even more amateur. I try to do a lot more of this kind of art though because I find it fun, but something isn't working. Is it an imagination issue and I need to step back and draw from my head and work on internalizing figures? Do I need to be doing even more studies? I know part of it is just mileage, but it feels like my brain is broken. I tried to think about things like the composition, or how having both socks fully on would look less interesting. I was given advice from someone outside of this board to ignore color for a while and focus more on form readability and cleaning up lines and I think that's true. Does anyone have suggestions for what to practice to achieve that, or other suggestions? I'll put in the work, I just would like some guidance please.
What can you do in between 1 and 2 hours? Post results here!
Get to drawin!
I don't really know where the two characters should be positioned in respect to the viewer.
I relied on eyeballing so far but it's starting to fall apart.
>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.

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.
2. Keep it to 2D Anime/Cartoon characters only. Do not post child 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. Use archived(moe) or warosu to retrieve the old threads.

But i get depressed when people that i know compliment me, but don't follow me back in return.
I feel conflicted.
I feel like I can learn whatever topic if I apply myself hard enough, but actually applying them to a study or, god forbid, my own work, even if it's as mundane as trying to draw X character in Y pose, almost always comes out shit.
If I could figure out how to apply what I learned to something half decent within reason of what's possible, that'd be sick, but I feel like half the time I'm either failing miserably or putting random shapes down on paper and hoping it turns into something.
What do you make of this?
Should I improve/redraw older paintings, or start new ones from scratch?
Also Is it wrong to improve an old commission, post it, and then erase from my portfolio the older version I was paid to make years ago?
Cool mode: Post your work with your tunes!
Even Cooler mode: Post a drawing you made while listening to said tunes!
OP is my own work, please critique.
pre/beg/ -> high
high/beg/ -> mid
mid/int/ -> high
high/int/ -> adv
im a little over 18 months in and am low int by this boards standards, curious how much longer until I'm considered decent.

Apologize.
I thought it was just some trolling, but it was true. Adobe is capturing your private work in Photoshop, everything you do in the software. And they have been doing this for more than a year in secret.
Bros, IT'S SO OVER.
Want to make the jump to a display one.
>Ask in the general
That shithole is lost.
It's probably worth mentioning that I only recently started retweeting stuffs, would that have some implications to the algo?

Nobody cares how "good" your art is by the arbitrary standards of pretentious tryhard jackasses.
All they care about is SOVL.
JUST DRAW.
>Well now anon, would you be a good sport and indulge us- and just, tell us a bit more?
Oh yeah, let me tell you something about Loomis.
The thing is /ic/, it's not that i'm lazy, it's just that i don't care. Now, if i work my ass off, and grind and grind, i don't see a single gain, so where's the motivation?
And there's something else, /ic/. I'm posting my work in eight different threads right now.
>Beg your pardon?
Eight threads.
>Eight?
Eight, /ic/. Now that means, if i make a mistake, i have eight different threads worth of anons coming by to tell me about it.
That's my only real motivation, is not to be hassled. That and the fear of Not Making It, but you know what /ic/? That'll only someone make someone work hard enough not to drop off completely.
>Bear with me for just a second here.
Okay...
>What if, and believe me, this is a hypothetical- but, what if you were promised some sort of uh, i don't know, guaranteed gain, an ability to take pleasure in the process itself, would that do anything for you?
I dunno, i guess... Listen uh, i'm gonna go, it's been really great talking to you guys.
Good luck with your crabbing, i hope making people quit goes well.
I still get called a /beg/
You will never make it if you don't have art talent.
