Now hoping for Stephen bauman Tutorials :P
But I also hear people who tell me to use 100% opacity.
As someone who is /beg/ in proportions, gesture etc, can I emulate Ross' style/method of illustration for my characters?

Like I don't care about sexual predators why the hell would you post it? Just post memes or some shit what the hell?
Why some artists into this shit? Do they gain something from it?

Don't be a tool. Read the contest rules.
FAQ:
> isn't everyone gonna get BTFO by the JP entries?
No, separate prize pools
> 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.

Sticky: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uwaXKU7ev6Tw_or__o8ARpUb6r2rCZYJGqwSFV9AD98/edit#bookmark=id.15jx3pyuimvj
RESIZE YOUR IMAGES - try ~1000px, <1.1mb
TRY TO BE MORE ACTIVE AND GIVE PEOPLE SOME FEEDBACK - many studies are left unreplied, which is sad and can be quite demotivating for the people that try their best to improve, but are left directionless.
i can do fine when drawing from a reference, but when trying to draw from imagination without construction feels wrong.
don't know if it's that i just got used to it so much, but it just feels wrong.
Health comes first and keeping that in mind will increase your longevity as an artist.
Stay hydrated, stretch and allow yourself to take breaks when the pressure mounts.
Am I too low IQ for this?
>Add these two curves
>Now perfectly pencil in the correct shape for eyeballs, ears, nose, lips, chin, cheek fat, sideburns, eyebrows, nostrils

The worship of Loomis by this board is pure Mysticism.
I'm aware this makes me a huge wuss, but doing something I don't like/find boring for such a huge part of my life forever terrifies me. I know that everyone else just sucks it up and does it anyway but I just feel like there has to be something else.
Accounts you like are welcome too.
I use udraw for the PS3 for my PC
I'm not sure if this is a question for this board or /diy/ but I'll try here first since new boards are scary.
I want to try my hand at making little figurines like pic related.
What kind of material would I need?
Mainly wondering about the type of clay and paints.

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.
>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 I encourage you to keep discussion at a civil level, but you're more than welcome to share your opinions.
>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.

>Does the anatomy look correct?
>What mistakes did I make?
>What should I focus on?
Are there really people who can't do this?
That's such a strange goal to have since the road to there is basically drawing from reference a ton.
I know that many of you have done similar research on countries that have more affordable art/animation school opportunities, and I'd like to compare notes I guess... and maybe find a place that has a "good" course...
I ironically my main gig right now (that pays the bills) is art and animation...
I'd given up on going to art school a while ago, until I found the animation workshop in Denmark, that happens to be tuition-free and also have a great course. I live in the UK, so the only problem is that the UK is leaving the European Union, so the art school would not be free anymore(for me)
I'd be glad to go anywhere that isn't too expensive and has a decent course.

I want to take commissions without displaying my real name through Paypal. Is Kofi a good alternative for that?
Also, if I do NSFW art can I still get paid through Kofi if I never post or link anything NSFW related on the site?
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.

**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.**

I’m going to put an end to your suffering.
Step 1. Watch Proko’s anatomy - not his figure drawing.
Step 2. Watch all the Will Weston courses.
These are the most effective and user friendly courses on the web. If you have any aptitude whatsoever this will get you up and running.
From here you will know where you are strong and weak and will know what you need and what will be a waste of time.
That’s it.
Take it or leave it.

Figure Drawing for All it’s Worth,

I want to get to the level in pic related. which book do you recommend?
I'm an artist who has only drawn hentai of people, would this scare my existing audience away?
Should I make a separate account for yiff?
And remember: Art is a competition
Does anyone here have it?
>pic related and is my art
I have basically no interest in realism and realistic art. I admire them, sure, but w/e.
I've checked the video course but can't find one specifically on construction of the head in anime/stylized drawings.
What video courses or books address this that are /ic/-approved?
What are some of the clear problems in the comics industry and how can they be fixed?
Ideally things from an art and writing point of view to keep it relevant to /ic/

> Browse ic on the daily to keep the interest alive without needing to participate.
Was it worth it, anon? Was it worth a future as a lonely artist? Was I just impulsive and it led here?
I'm happy, but I miss the soul I once had. I can still draw thankfully. Don't feel I've improved, but I don't feel I've regressed either.
Would you give up art for love, anon?

1. 6 hours of studies every single day
2. 3 hours of studies and 3 hours of imaginative work.
The downside is that when you're doing imaginative work you're often drawing slower, not drawing as much, and drawing loosely. You aren't observing, you just drawing things you've drawn before, and you often stay in your comfort zone. When you do studies the thing is right in front of you and your pen is constantly moving. This is what Feng Zhu seems to recommend.
If you're /beg/ and trying to get to a professional level as quickly as possible, which is best? Assuming you don't care about making personal art or soul and you just want to work for a studio.

>Worry about drawing when drawing
I have a spyder calibration tool and am using an xp pen display tablet alongside my main monitor. I have colour calibrated both, both give the same output now. Colours remain consistent in sai when I move the window between displays. But with photoshop, the colours all become slightly less saturated in my xp pen display. Whats worse is, its not like the xp pen display cannot physically show the right colours, because as I am dragging the window down the colours remain the same as on the main display until the instant I let go of the mouse click, then poof, they all desaturate. How do I disable this bullshit?

For my own question, what rapidographs and such do you guys recommend? Preferably one that is metal and reusable.
Do you use them often, or not at all?
>Anime artists draw thin more life-like lines considering the form
>American comics artists draw really bold lines that makes the characters feel somewhat cartoonish in a shitty way
>Manga and european comics artists draw thin, more "Realistic" lines and use a different line-weight style than american ones

however, now I'm interested and initially was drawn towards a drawing tablet, but is this a bad way to go for a beginner who is looking to build up those fundamental principles? am I going to hinder actual progression through becoming reliant on digital by going that route too quickly?
