>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.
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.

Artbros, we're going to MAKE it.
The second I have heard it I knew it was bullshit. Because I like these pseudo professionals to show me any cartoon or any anime that has verging thickens on their lines. No serious challenge.
If these pen pressure memes are so correct then show me in a comercial cartoon or anime where they are used.
I wait. Now these pseudo professionals will either admit I'm right or call cartoons and anime unprofessional ... and then I ask what is professional? The doodles they post to twitter and are not payed for? Is this professional?
Because you can not get more professional then cartoons and anime that people get payed for. And since I'm interested in animation the discussion is finished here.
However for a bonus round show me any manga that uses this pen pressure shit. I wait, maybe you can find it however I doubt it. How about comics? Maybe however I doubt they are not in DC and not in Marvel.
So how right am I /ic/ ? And why do these idiots keep on saying this and obsessing over a feature that every professional must disable day one?
The truth is a identical and non changing line thickens is the professional way to draw anything.
There’s no other thread where people can look to commission anons, other than the /aco/ thread which is for porn.

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.

I've been trying to get used to digital for awhile now, but no matter what I can't get over it. I'm not trying to insinuate anything bad to digital but I really want to transfer over to it.
Also is zooming in too much really a bad habit? I do that a lot whenever I use a display tablet.
Any tips for getting used to digital? I have tried a display tablet, non-display, and ipad.
Thank you.

What painting is hanging in the entryway of a 1940's era mansion owned by a vampire and frequented by pseudo-modern undead in current year?
>nothing TOO garrish, I suppose.
>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.

He hasn't posted since March...
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.

Would you ask them to start with greyscale first?
Should you start with still lives, or can you jump into figures?
Should you do things traditionally first, or is digital fine?
Should we draw from life, or are photo studies fine? Master copies?
Any courses of note that we should be aware of? Books?
Any advice helps. Bonus points if you post your work!
2: Character design critique and discussion is welcome.
3: Lewds and porn is okay.

**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.**

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.

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

I thought that the lat is supposed to be over the infraspinatus, layer-wise, but it seems like his infraspinatus spills out? Also, what is that turquoise depression?
Is this really good advice though? I feel like a lot of the time when beginners attempt to draw expressively, the subject's proportions get blown out of whack, often exceeding the boundaries of the canvas. I feel like this philosophy has actually lead a lot of experienced artists to develop bad habits which are very noticeable.
Worse than being accused of using AI
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 2000 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.

What can you do in between 1 and 2 hours? Post results here!
Get to drawin!
This is a thread for those who want to go study dynamic sketching as a group in an effort to improve their drawing skills starting from the very fundamentals. Here we share the tedious grind, crit and encourage each other.
Please specify the week and course you're on when posting your work.
>What is Dynamic Sketching?
The Dynamic Sketching is an approach to sketching that focuses on:
>Closely observing life to inspire sketches.
>Breaking down complex objects into simple forms.
>Building confidence using permanent mediums like pen and toned paper.
>The importance of conveying ideas visually.
This method helps artists create expressive and energetic sketches.
First developed by Norman Schureman, an influential teacher at ArtCenter. Many of his students, including Peter Han and Charles Hu, continued his teachings at various schools.
Peter Han's class is intended for beginners, but the second class can be useful even for /int/. Charles Hu's course is probably better suited for /int/s. They both cover a wide variety of subject matter, but the approach can be applied to any subject matter.

>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.
Mess up a lot, get that mileage in, but most importantly pyw
No NSFW, to differentiate from /sex/ /asg/ /other generals.
Rules:

I've legitimately never been able to commit myself to any serious hobby and have gotten lazy over the years with my only actual one which is writing and the only reason I'm good at writing is because I wanted people to be able to understand what the fuck I was saying and I wanted to write good stories because I thought I'd never be able to make them in a visual medium, but that's it. I've never been able to commit to a serious routine, schedule, or anything. I just sit in my room online doing basically nothing.
Everything I try doing looks so daunting and impossible. I tried learning Source Filmmaker as a teen and I gave up immediately because it looked too complicated. I tried learning how to make my own games in game maker, gave up immediately and never touched it. Even something like drawing just looks so complex and impossible. This is what it's like for everything I try doing.

i thought you retards say drawing this blue bitch gets you popular
It always comes out as either a peanut or straight line with too sharp of a turn
Can you criticize my silent comic
I still an amateur and developing my skills, practicing every day despite my busy university scheduleand your advices and criticism is really important for me because it's direct and real (not sugar coated like the one's I got from my peers)
Thank you
How to fix this?
All formats of webcomics are welcome. PYW and show us what you got.
>Why would I make one?
Webcomic creation is a fun way to hone your skills while building endurance. It will force you out of your comfort zone and is a great medium to practice visual storytelling.

Last time i drew anything was last year. Even the thought of picking up pencil alone fills me with dread and anxiety.
Please, if you're willing, tell me how to change. I'll abide by any advice without ifs or buts or hows.
Be specific if you request something: post the cover, book's title, artist's name...
Please be patient, board is slow, someone may answer you a week later.

>What the hell do I do with them?
No, they're not info-hashes or magnets; we're encoding the links to keep bots and scripts from recognizing and harvesting/reporting them. You will see a GIF in the first two or three posts that explains what to do. Don't understand some of the terms in the GIF? Google them. 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.

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.

Either that or the placebo made it so
Than you regret, have to be stronger than that
Yet not many ever reach that height of bravery
To speak against what is wrong, abominations
Truly deserve to die, something no on teaches
This is why society is so bad and crumbling up
What is true for one is the truth for all no one
Can change what is reality, or even any facts
Anti God is what I call what is going on, no good
A project can be anything including but not limited to:
>a manga/comic
>a short animated film
>piece(s) for an art exhibition
>video game assets
>series of illustrations
Questionnaire:
>What type of project are you working on?
>What inspired you to create this?
>How far are you into your project?
> Any previous projects?
>Any social media?
>Would you like to receive feedback/criticism?
Per usual, don't respond to bait and simply report/ignore anything that isn't conducive to drawing.
>Currently nearly 4k of them are unemployed
>Famous, Emmy award winning show runners are auctioning off their original art on Ebay to survive
If not for the animation industry, how is an artist supposed to survive in the year of our Lord, 2024?

I'm a boomer when it comes to promoting myself and my work. What advice do you guys have.
I'm looking to do more commissions etc.

>Just draw
Fair, but there's always an unconscious drive that motivates you whether you feel it or not.
Also tell me what to draw or do an art study on NOW. Please and thank you.

>Ruin it with an obnoxiously obvious watermark that kills any immersion and appeal that the art had going for it
What does /ic/ think about artists who do this?
(tidbit-when it comes to the boobs, the pink outline indicates them being held up by a bra or bikini top, whereas the blue outline is her breasts being free to hang)
What should I do? Post feral stuff on main and just ignore hat that could bring or should I just make a new account for that stuff?
What if there was a story that took place after a generic fantasy universe merged with our own universe, and there are now dragons flying around cities and Wizards with guns and other shit
Is this a good concept or am I just completely out of my mind?
Replying to crabs, nodraws and howies is encouraged, keep the thread active.
