>What should I buy?
State your:
>Budget
>Location
>Type (display? non-display? portable?)
>Size (in inches)
>Other information
>Previous equipment
>If you have any, state your preferences regarding surface texture (paper emulation, smooth etc)
Anons with corresponding tablets can provide input as to the user experience of those tablets.
>Recommended display tablets:
Wacom cintique 22 for all round features and quality (colour accuracy)
XP Pen artist 15.6 pro for price/performance value
Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite for a budget portable tablet.
>Screenless tablets:
>XP-Pen Deco Pro Medium
>Huion Inspiroy H1161
>Wacom Intuos Pro 2013 line
Tech and standards for screenless tablets have plateaued over the last 2 years, so there is little real variation between same dimension products other than surface texture.
This is a non autist thread, try not to shitpost too hard. If the chinese shill poster shows up just tell him to post his work and ignore.

**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.**

>Location
>Type (display? non-display? portable?)
>Size (in inches)
>Other information
>Previous equipment
If you have any additional questions, ask them.
>Recommended tablets:
Intuos Pro 2013 - Great value, and the nibs won't wear out in 5 seconds like they do on the newer model.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite - Budget portable display tablet. Very solid drawing experience with Wacom EMR tech.
Used iPad Pro 2nd Gen 12.9" - Best option for a display tablet.
Used Cintiq 22HD - The only worthwhile large display tablet
Wait for the Galaxy Tab S7+
>Avoid:
Cintiq Pro - Terrible value. The drawing experience might be good, but you're paying way too much for an unreliable product. Dead pixels are frequent, as are black screens of death.
Microsoft Surface Pro - The N-Trig digitizer means you will always get wobbly lines.
Huion, XP-Pen, Gaomon and every other Chinese brand - Poor build quality, lackluster pens, bad tilt, horrible customer support and the displays are not calibrated. All Chinese brands are basically the same because they're all centralized under the communist regime. Also watch out, Chinese Companies are known to shill aggressively, even on 4chan.
Lenovo - Bad drawing performance.

READ THE STICKY for some guidance:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uwaXKU7ev6Tw_or__o8ARpUb6r2rCZYJGqwSFV9AD98/edit#bookmark=id.15jx3pyuimvj
RESIZE YOUR IMAGES - preferably ~1000px, <1.1mb
BE ACTIVE AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK TO OTHERS - all it takes is a little feedback to give someone a lot of motivation.
Leave no submission un-replied!!!
But the general public expects crystal clear drawings and artists keep aiming at polishing their art until it's devoid of life perpetuating the stereotype and I'm literally
What is /SALT/?
If you're looking for a place to post all sexual works, from pinups with exaggerated proportions to pornography, then this is the right general for you. Both Eastern and Western stylization can coexist peacefully here.
>Rules & Guidelines
(1) Any form of cartooning is welcome; so submit and receive feedback from others. (2) Please resize your images below 1000x1000 before posting. (3) Share your knowledge and (4) Remember to not be afraid of asking for critique, 5) Remember all GB3 related content such as lolicon, shotacon, furry pornography, furry and bestiality are banned on ALL boards, including red boards, except /b and /trash.
Most importantly I encourage you to keep discussion at a civil level, but you're more than welcome to share your opinions.

>can’t even do still lives
Why do always people that have drawn for less than a thousand hours recommend loomis? He is utter shit at teaching and explains things and sucks the joy out of drawing.
Post your current drawing here and give constructive critique to others! Don't take anything personal!
Please make sure your posted image is clear, downsized to around 1000 pixels wide, rotated to the correct orientation, and that any unused space is cropped.
If you want critique on a drawing from the previous thread, you can delete it there and repost in this one.

Bad proportions, bad linework (no variation) stupid looking face (her eyes are rolling back into her skull like she's getting high or having an orgasm) and apparently besides the drawing, the colorist decided to take a day off too and what I assume is supposed to be skin tone just came out a hideous shade of pink/purple.
Since when is an amazonian warrior a fatass? Who wants art like this? Even fat people want to see good looking people in their entertainment. Especially in this time of comic book movie explosion, you'd think the level of talent trying to get into the art business of comics would be harder to get into. Instead it seems like you can be 10 years, slap something down on paper and make a living.
WTF? Every person at DC that approved this cover along the way needs to be fired, because they don't know what makes good art.
What is /ALT/?
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. However, by community demand and long history, this is favorably an Anime general.

Nobody really fucking follows this advice right? It’s just bullshit that people say because it sounds “right”.

Contest FAQ:
> isn't everyone gonna get BTFO by the JP entries?
No, separate prize pools
> but--
No, we've been over this several times. The requirements for both prizes are entirely different.
> do covers have to be black and white too?
Uncertain. Color them at your own risk.
> what's the page size?
Unspecified. It's recommended you work at at least 600 DPI regardless.
> do entries have to be shonen stories?
All genres are allowed, but keep in mind that this is still a Shonen Jump contest.
> western reading direction or JP reading direction?
JP.
> what does "no scenario, name" mean?
Scenario refers to a script, and Name is the Japanese term for a storyboard or rough page layout. So, in other words, no sketches and no scripts. Finished works only.
> what do they mean by "monochrome?"
All pages must be solely black and white. No colors, no middle-tones (such as shades of grey). Shades besides black and white should be achieved through things such as screentones and dot matrices.
Some resources.
Books:
"Understanding Comics", "Making Comics", "Manga in Theory and Practice: The Craft of Creating Manga", "Story: Substance, Structure, Style and the Principles of Screenwriting," 2000AD Script Book ( https://mega.nz/file/gtNQgY6L#p7vPA_fLOUwxINMBzAX62w_xx282FVQoMhUHDGtiCpE )
Youtube channels:
"Manga Senpai/Tokyo Name Tank", "SMAC! THE SILENT MANGA AUDITION COMMUNITY"
The main issue with me is that I'm only productive on my art (whether it's training stuff or personal stuff) when I'm at some sort of work-based environment. Right now, I can only work effectively at my school or in public libraries. It's possible for me to draw at my house but it still requires me a huge mental effort in order to work properly (you could blame the distractions in my house, but even if you remove anything except drawing tools, I still wouldn't be able to draw), and most of the time it only happens when it's around 2-3 am.
So what can I do to solve this? Remain in working places eternally?

Does it have pen stabilizer?
Personally, I cannot deal with normies.
>Erasing is bad
>Tracing anime is bad
So why do the pros do ALL of these things?
It doesn't happen on my other brushes, just the round square one I made. If you look closely it also adds these weird cyan and pink lines.
Is there a setting that's wrong or is it something to do with the shape of the brush?

Not sure if most anons on /ic/ saw this yet but zeenchin recently uploaded a speedpaint of his painting process for the first time ever. He's popular for making digital paintings that look almost traditional with his good use of values and color theory.
He even finally shared his brushes. He uses photoshop
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1KTJQ5oDSlXSJ-vrosRS3SRQhEMbQqlZD
And Bobby Chiu interviewed him
https://youtu.be/d_pjd-LJvv0
It’s a male, cross dressing, spider. The gold tooth is required to stay on for story reasons. He is from the mob.
I thought the guy will teach me how to train my eyes to see proportions. And what i got is how to make a glasses to see those proportions and angles.
It's like "yeah buy my lessons on how measure things" and then the will tell you to use a ruler to measure things..
I had no such a disappointment experience with other courses which cost me 10, 50 or 100 times more than this one.
He is selling that for super cheap, but the problem is what he is selling. And i can't believe few people on /ic recommend it (i assume it was author himself).
So if you are trying to train your eyes for accuracy, don't expect to learn anything from this guy, except how to depend on tools (in this case, glasses).
or no?
I’m currently learning how to draw trees, and I really “feel” their form, but then the end point of the branches always feel fucking OFF. Like they’re too pointy or flat.
NOTHING JUST LOOKS BELIEVABLE
For my question, I was wondering how to get into screentones? Any specific brands/tools you recommend?
What can i do to have a comfy soulful style bros? Is it just completely up to fate? I’m about to start seriously grinding and learning art but i don’t want to cuck myself and end up making uncomfy soulless art. Any advice?
these are going to be the last several posts for me so just go to town, I keep getting ignored by everyone, editors, publishers or even just getting people to look at my art outside of here,
actually nix that, a few months ago I was told by a hiring agent for comic artists that my work lacked polish and "X-factor" that he could sell or that editors want, so I need to correct that if possible.
I'm the kind of investor who'll grab you by the shirt and ask "Am I paying for your living expenses in California, your popularity, your assumed talent or am I paying for just a bunch of 12x 2second loops (24seconds) extended into 2 minutes?"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvNHcCJicN0
As a smart investor I would never pay you a flat rate like say 6000$ for 30 seconds of animation. I would pay you differently for each action.
Unless we're going way down the rabbit hole into subjective hypotheticals where we question what kind of movement is appealing.
Also I'd never hire you at what you're not good at or hire you in a horrible work environment.
For example cel-shaded 3D is way easier to animate smooth fps, dynamic camera, clothes on bodies and rigid body animation. Transformation, facial expressions and amorphous blobs/Liquid animation is very bothersome for 3D.
For pure liquid 2D animation I'd hire talentless people with a lot of patience. Liquid objects, floating, levitation, flying, swimming do not require a talented animator. (Unless you want to get really autistic about the physics in air, space, water, high gravity, low gravity)
Also I'd penalize you heavily for the art style. I never liked that dirty MS Paint look. You'd have to be capable of animating with my preferred art style.

RESIZE YOUR IMAGES - preferably ~1000px, <1.1mb
BE ACTIVE AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK TO OTHERS - all it takes is a little feedback to give someone a lot of motivation.
Leave no submission un-replied!!!
> Lack of creative stylization and returning to the darkest ages of art where realism and appealing were the only things that mattered, ignoring all the effort actual artists from the late 19th century and 20th made in order to deconstruct western art. At least animation and cartoons have a lot of stylization and deconstruction on them.
> Obvious influence from anime shit, which in my opinion should be banned nationwide
> Female attraction focusing on traditional western attributes such as face, breasts, buttocks, flat abdomen/thin muscles, thin legs instead of actual human points of attraction such as feet, smells, body fat, body hair, bones, etc. I'm not saying focusing on eyes or mouth is necessarily bad, but ignoring any non-traditional standard of beauty is just awful.
> High levels of rendering that drive the attention away from the actual composition
> This shit is infesting and ruinign art communities and there are a lot of russians and asians shitting art stemming from this
>be me
>paint skin is slight pinkish tone
>move image to phone as back up
>open image in phone
>it looks yellow/orangish in comparison
>can't tell if monitor or phone are at fault. Both on default setting
or should I learn every subject separately?
>sit at desk
>look at paper for 20 minutes
>go back to sleep
>repeat daily for a few years
How does /ic/ deal with this? I assume everyone goes through it.

Artwork I finished recently of Artorias from ds1. It started out just as a sketch to draw the helmet and wasn't originally intended to be a finished piece--hence the shit ton of negative space and lack of a full body. I also didn't copy any images, just looked at references and tried doing the rest from imagination.
Anyways, here's my own observations first;
- Helmet shape is off compared to original (too low, the back of the og is pulled up at the back more)
- Hood looks like a sleeve, legit. The references I saw showed a lot of diagonal wrinkles in the hood, but I think I overdid it lmao
- ponytail under-rendered
- I don't think the lighting is off on the hood, but I also do think the lighting is off on the hood. Can't put my finger on why.
I have a few chapters already and would be willing to transfer it via p2p or IRC so you could get a handle on the characters, the main of which would be the following
>be [The Meaning of Ill] Cast
>be Swerv, black skateboarder/drug hustler, son of a Real OG
>be Big Ren, big black scary motherfucker into Black Magik and thuggery with occult facial tats
>be Byte, white leet haxxor, used to work for METASEC but got caught stealing so they cut off his hands, designed his own metallic tendril hands and had them built/installed by the Russian Mafia but now is their slave and owes them like 2million dollars so he’s robbin’ motherfuckers
>be Dr. Dorian Griseo, the antagonist and creator of the the GrayNet, the central prop, as well as the synthetic red crack hitting the streets, and CEO of METASEC, the greatest security Corp. in the world, born Russian and basically the overlord of everyone including the Russian Mafia
>be MEF, an ancient and alien Hunger God that glows red and looks kinda like a water bear [microscopic animal] that sneaks into this universe through the quantum photonic teleportation gates used to wirelessly connect the crypters [servers] of the GrayNet
>be The Wanderers, agents of the 33-dimensional Spiders that create all lesser universes [they take various forms and even shift forms in real time]
>be Kron, Ra-Ra, Krusty, Brit - Big Ren’s hood rat crew, all black [I want them to have cool rendering visually]
>be Gryph, new holographic graffiti artist, disciple of KERNN, the Horned God
>be Gat0, blue cyborg cat, technology genius [pic related]

What is /SALT/?
If you're looking for a place to post all sexual works, from pinups with exaggerated proportions to pornography, then this is the right general for you. Both Eastern and Western stylization can coexist peacefully here.

I'm looking on expanding into the digital realm here in a bit, but Photoshop is no longer a single payment like it was back in the day. It is a recurring payment.
I just want to know if anons feel that it is worth the cost.
Also: Is there a way to get good cracked versions of it? I'm on a Mac.
Thanks,
