Found another Gerardson Judeon I hadn't seen before
fanart of Weaver's stuff of the Belwethers
so I guess that's a no go on the platonic handjob...
whatever, gonna shower, back in a bit.
OP really setting that comfy mood with that image.
Good work OP.
>>2711222
This is image.
>>2711194
I wouldn't exactly call weaver a "vigilante".
He's the hero we deserve, not exactly the hero we need, though.
>>2711228
I'LL BE YOUR PREY TONIGHT, UGUU
>>2711228
Still one of the best pieces of art to come out of these threads
>>2711194
What's the fic called?
>>2711228
me on the bottom right
>>2711257
Weaver exposes our sins with our flesh, only through his shearings can we absolve ourselves of our misdeeds.
Only the truth matters. The naked truth.
>>2711257
But Ms. Lynx, your pairing has already been decided...
I actually have a bit of a thing for muscular women, so I'll take any chance I can to draw them!
>>2711250
ADORABLE
>>2711250
Oh my god did we get another new artist? And they're drawing Shepard??
This is the best day.
>>2711250

I bet you've even tried to eat a carrot before.
So I did the thing. Funny it happened like this, since I work as a government pencil pusher anyways.
>>2711282
First sloth I've seen rolled, nice job anon!
>>2711281
Anon, there's no need to be rude. It's late, it's comfy, it's 6AM here and I should have been asleep hours ago. Don't go bashing the poor guy.
>>2711282
what site is that animal selecting thing on?
>>2711259
her body actually looks really fucked up in that one
>>2711281
I said right
>>2711250
I love how you drew Shep as being kind of feminine and fluffy instead of his usual scraggly, burly self. He almost looks like a girl in this, actually. I mean that in the best way possible.
why am I so slow at drawing, /trash/?
>>2711265

I wish everyone would stop trying to push the mountain goats on me. I already said, they're lazy assholes, just because they're really good at rock climbing doesn't make them athletic.

Finally ran it, I guess I'm a lynx
>>2711340
Funny you should mention that
I literally just took this
are you a wizard?
>>2711340
I-I'm sorry, I didn't realize there was an ongoing dialogue about mountain goats.
I just can't think of "you can't judge me" without thinking of that song in particular.

Disgusting
>>2711356
just in case you're interested, you get 2 rerolls. you will have to abandon lynx though.
other rules include no birds/reptile/domesticated animals
>>2711368
Someone we can ship in a *pure* relationship at any rate.
Cant say im too happy with it.. or that people call me one but
>Filename
>>2711377
Exactly. Two Lynxes, it's perfect. They'd go together great!
>>2711336
I'll have to try drawing or writing something with a moose now, I guess
>>2711374
This was my reroll, I threw away marmot
>>2711336
I have rolled around 20 times. I keep getting primates, bugs, reptiles, birds, or domestic dog/cat.
Shit's getting irritating.
>>2711377
The feelings two mammals have for each other is what makes a relationship pure, not their species.
>>2711356
Hey, let's be bros
>>2711392
That was a joke, anon. I've already been through this dialogue a few too many times to repeat it again.
>>2711392
You sound like a naive little bunny, m8.
>>2711397
So...what's your opinion on Giraffes?
>>2711392
By that logic, incest would be perfectly acceptable
You know, in species other than ... you know.
>>2711265

Wow you're just a walking stereotype huh. Do you also wet yourself whenever you see a pred smiling?

They're alright, but canid girls are where it's at
It's that old ancestral rivalry thing, they get all competitive and it's really hot

>>2711410
I'm starting to think that I know who you are irl Ms. Lynx, but I'm hesitant to call you on it. I will bide my time for now.
>>2711419
Not quite
Though there is moistness involved
>>2711371
here's an attempt
forgive me my sins
>>2711317
help i can't breathe
>>2711414
I agree. Us bunnies are pretty great.
>>2711410
I refer you to >>2711399
in which I explain what a joke is.
>>2711419
Look! Incest is only occasional! It's not normal! It's just, convenience, y'know?
And preds aren't that scary! I just don't like when they approach me is all.
>>2711428
aaand you lost me.
>>2711428
Obviously this is just some predposter trying to give bunnies a bad name. Shame on you.
The RP in here is getting a bit out of hand i think
>>2711417
Oh great, another antelope.
>>2711444
Nice trips.
You always seem to bitch about RP with the same image. Maybe you should let loose a little, give it a try.
Shieet I cant hang, sapped from today's circuit.
Good night everybody!
>>2711417
Oh my god, is that Shep? He looks so small.
>"Proud Sheepdog" shirt
Ha! He would, the adorable goober.
Is 'first request anon' still around? Pic related is starting to really make the rounds. Funny that he hates the ship so much
>>2711448
That was the first time i said something..
Since its just funny most of the time
>I might not be who you think i am
I wonder if there's any cannibalism happens in Zootopia now
You know, my father is always telling me how tender and juicy the lamb chops are.
It makes curious about how my sheep colleague tastes like.
>>2711458
Then I apologize for the assumption. It seems a common trend to use that particular image to complain about RP. I assumed it was the same anon when I noticed the pattern.
>>2711440
I just think that every species has their own unique charm, even if it takes a bit of open-mindedness to explore it with some species, especially when there's societal taboos or instinctual fears in the way.
>>2711441
Pretty sure there's more bunnies into preds out there instead of vice versa. There's a lot more bunnies to be pred-sexual than there are preds to be bunny-sexual.
>>2711434
better
Just a little more pop on the shoulders and biceps and she's golden
>>2711125
Drew a sleepy Judy for this anon last thread.
Just finished drawing my Ocelot OC I rolled the other day. Be gentle, it's the first time i've used my wacom for drawing instead of signing documents.
>>2711464
No worries..
And desu - ive never seen someone say something bout it
Might be because ive missed the last few threads

Draw it or use it at a means of general interaction with other zooposters.
>>2711489
I didn't draw mine, but I came up with backstory and everything. Is that good enough? My prose tends to be better than my doodles.
>>2711489
>>2711498
Maybe when I'm less tired
>>2711499
Good enough for what?
Nobody here is judging you, there's no standards you have to meet. Except for Judyposter, because they think they're my dad, shitty jokes and everything.
>>2711507
umm... you replied to Judyposter which I guess is what you've named me.
>>2711514
WHAT A TWIST
>>2711513
Oof, hmm, I guess I'd just base it on my real personality. Kinda of an aloof loner, the kind of person who goes to work at some big business firm every day then comes home and shitposts online, but also wishes he had more friends.
I started researching stoats since that's what I rolled.
>The stoat reputedly immobilises prey such as rabbits by mesmerising them with a "dance"
I kinda already wanted to fuck the bunny. I guess I'm destined for it now.
>>2711445
I rolled again and got antelope! It seems that long-horned ungulate is my fate; so I went with the gembok I first got.
>>2711529
I can't tell if that implies sexy stoat dance moves to attract rabbits or sexy stoat dance moves to rape rabbits.
>>2711524
this squirrel is glad to have you here, lynx. sorry we're not anything more than anonymous mammals/otherwise.
>>2711537
Stoats are about a tenth the size of a rabbit. I don't think rape is a practical possibility.
>>2711529
how would the ladies NOT fall for that
>>2711529
I think I saw something about too, but the word it used was "confuse" rather than "mesmerize." Still though, it's pretty neat that that actually worked well enough to become an evolutionary trait.
"Hey Frank! Why the hell aren't you starving like the rest of us? Those rabbits are way too fast!"
"Oh yeah, man, I just sorta dance for them before I go for the kill. Works every time."
>>2711534
i actually rolled away from gembok to the squirrel i take on lately. been having thoughts of rolling again for the hell of it.. it's quite autistic, but i'm not enjoying feeling so small.
if it weren't for chumpy having so kindly drawn mine, either. really shocked me.
>>2711542
Not with that attitude
>>2711549
>>2711539
Thanks Anonymous Squirrel
>>2711336
What?
>>2711514
>>2711572
Reroll that shit nigga
>>2711572
that's actually really interesting.. i know nothing about those, but i have heard the name before. i hope you keep it, but that's on you.
>>2711572
I rolled one of those.
>>2711547
o-oh that's ummm. oh wow. jeez.
I-I-I mean who would be dumb enough to fall for something like that!
>>2711513
It's a neat offer, but it feels cheap to me having something made for me without making it myself.
>>2711575
It's a shock, but it's true. I can assemble a collage of the replies to show my (You)'s if you like.
>>2711542
The difference isn't that huge, rabbits are pretty round and plump.
>>2711593
Guess not all bunnies go for the *big* predators.
>>2711534
I guess you have to date Weaver now. No race-mixing.
>>2709338
No problem, dude, glad to have you.
I should go to sleep but I don't want to.
>>2711605
But I guess they are all sluts for pred dick.
now I remember why I stopped using this brush
>>2711534
>>2711606
ITT: Weaver continues to seduce us all with his mysterious, antelope ways
>>2711633
Weaver?
>>2711603
Stoats used to hunt bunnies by just chasing them until they got too tired to keep out of distance, then they just leaped aboard and went to work, since stoats have hugely more stamina than rabbits. I guess the same approach could work in modern times. Though I think sexy dancing, bottomless stamina, and that sexy belly fur would be enough of a draw that it wouldn't be necessary.
>>2711633
Holy shit that looks fantastic. thank you.
I'm wanting a picture of Nick eating cereal.
>>2711639
>thinks I'm weaver
>>2711605
>>2711617
N-no! I was admiring the bunny in the gif, obviously!
>>2711611
Oh, you were blood test anon, right? I'll thank you for the stream, too.
>>2711661
i think that was more asking what those little extras in your drawing were.
>>2711661
I dunno man, the style doesn't look the same but I saw that mini weaver in the top and assumed. Looks great though!
>>2711664
I was. A HUGE load off my mind.
And no problem, was a fun night.
>>2711664
Hey, you're the one that's always going on about how pred-prey relations are unnatural. Well, there's a fascination that is 100% natural! Stoats have been hypnotizing bunnies forever, once in the wild plains of prehistory and nowadays in the strip clubs of the Nocturnal District.
>>2711659
>>2711633
Why did you stop using that brush?
>>2711258
is there a bigger version of this? or a source video?
>>2711696
>implying it's a Crack ship
>>2711685
When the "relationship" traditionally ends in murder, I don't think it's natural, anon.
>>2711534

I'm a cheater and sore loser and rolled again. I'm happier with skunk.
>>2711718
I like it.
>>2711718
That's a pretty solid skunk drawing
>>2711715
That's the beauty of it, these days it just ends with a g-string full of singles and everyone walks away happy. It's win-win!
>>2711704
>>2711718
well done.
>>2711715
There's more than one way for a stoat to eat a bunny.
I never did get that beer and greasy pizza...
i know i didn't do jack shit in the last two threads but thank you few anons for giving me more confidence
i'll try to be back tomorrow and draw things for you wonderful people at a normal time and interact with the other drawfriends. for now i am too tired.

Do you have a tumblr or a blog or something I can follow you at?
>>2711767
Don't worry, those preds you see today?
They probably wouldn't want to think about bunnies looking at them like pieces of grass, watching every trace of their body moving beneath their clothing. Just wanting to plunge their paws down their underwear- to put notes down there of course.
So spare a thought for them, many would be as disgusted as you by such... vile actions.

forgive my autism, good comfy anons.
tonight has been the least comfy night i've had in the garbage, for just the dumbest reason.
the gathering of more drawfriends is awesome and all, but i feel a searing jealousy. i'm not even going to sugarcoat it saying "i want to contribute too".
don't know why i'm casting this out to the possible fire to come to me, but personally i'm glad i got it off my chest. have at thee.
>>2711803
>Indignant what.webm
That's not what she's saying in that webm. Though I think what she's actually saying is more accurate regarding your true thoughts on the matter.
>>2711806
People hate it when I remind them that Heath Ledger got F'd in the A on a mountain.
>>2711816
Aww buddy we all feel shitty for shitty reasons sometimes. As long as you recognize that it's stupid and don't let it actually lead you to flipping out at somebody it's all good.
>>2711816
So contribute.
We learn by doing. You could sketch, you could do greentext, you could lewd the Jude.
>>2711825
>>2711816
It happens, at least you recognize that it's irrational, but it's not like the drawfags got good magically overnight. It's not like they got lucky. They had to work hard to gain that talent, so be jealous if you have to but channel that into practicing and learning.
>>2711708
I love the sense of depth it can convey with the varying opacity, but I feel it makes everything too messy, and it plays into my inability to know when to stop detailing. I'm trying to move toward a more minimalist, purposeful techniques than "scribble until something comes out".
>>2711818
I actually generally have no clue what's being said in any of the webms I use. I just go off general feeling anon.
>>2711816
it always sucks feeling like you're outside an "in" group that's right in front of your eyes, but we're all friends here.
>>2711816
I know how it feels man, I spent hours writing a short pointless story about Nick and Judy snuggling and got a single comment in response. Weaver waggles his dick in the general direction of a stylus and pure magic comes out and he gets a hundred responses.
But I can look at it like that or I can look at the - let's see - 119 unique viewers to the story, and assume that maybe one in ten got a smile out of it, then hey I made a dozen people happy. If I tried to achieve that the normal way my hand would have cramped up around the sixth handjob.
Contribute how you can, and take the little wins. We can't all be Weaver.
>>2711816
Jealousy can be a good thing if it drives you to better yourself.
http://drawabox.com/
>>2711816
It happens anon, you feel isolated because you cannot enjoy the fun with the drawfag, you feel incompetent.
It's inevitable anon, you cannot have all the fun in the world
>>2711829
>>2711831
And I guess we get help by asking for it...
I have a burning want to start dabbling in quick sketches, digitally, with a mouse so I can just make something when I'm bored/inspired. Any recommendations on a tool a bit more advanced than... paint?
>>2711841
well aware that it takes work, good anon. i'm aching to take a stab at it, knowing full well that it's going to suck absolute ass early on.
>>2711849
glad you say so, anon.. i haven't felt like i had friends this communicative in way too long.
>>2711849
The "in" group seems kinda gay so I'm happy being safely outside.
Carb loading breakfast! Do you think they eat eggs in Zootopia?
XOXO
>>2711873
It's at most 40% sincerely gay. The rest is just playing around.
>>2711871
Well, there's always photoshop cs2, even if it's old. They had to take down the activation servers a while back, so it effectively got released for free.
Threads last night. Out of control
-J
>>2711798
I'm flattered! kingsquee.tumblr.com
>>2711871
Theres also Gimp
>>2711871
It is very hard to draw using a mouse. If you don't have access to a tablet, you'd likely do better scribbling on paper and photographing or scanning it.
As for software more advanced than paint, I've always been a fan of GIMP although it can be a little difficult to figure out. It is free though.
>>2711843
That makes sense. The reason I enjoy using a messier brush like that is so that i can push and pull lines more fluidly since I find it a little hard to lay down clean lines accurately but hate inking. It makes it feel more like a paint brush even though I'm using it as my main sketching brush.
But like I said, I only recently started using that brush and I've just accepted it's going to be a little messier.
>>2711336
>a brown bear
>I am a slav and my name's diminutive form literally means "bear"
It fucking knows.
>>2711871
Krita and Firealpaca/Medibang are pretty good
>>2711925
i actually don't have access to a tablet. but i'm very poised to buying one damn soon. although i have no clue what i'm looking for.
>>2711940
Just go with the cheapest wacom tablet you can find.
>>2711336
>First roll of Elephant
Fucking boring.
>Second Roll of Musk Ox
Pretty good, at least. I've always liked an Ox or yak.
>>2711925
I feel so guilty. I've had a drawing tablet for months and it just collects dust.
I really should figure out how to draw but I don't understand how people get their strokes to look so clean. Mine always come out jaggedy and bleh.
>>2711940
Can't help you there I'm afraid. I got an old Wacom one years ago, but I don't know what's come out since then and what is considered 'entry level' nowadays.
>>2711952
i'll take if off your hands.
nah i'm kidding, get on this anger-fueled inspiration with me, anon.
>>2711952
Practice. Your lines aren't going to be great the first time around, they never are. but you need to push through that. Long, quick, curved strokes and don't keep the movement at just your fingers, use your arm.
>>2711952
Practice and using a stabilizer setting if the program you have has one. Also, draw larger than you need to, since shrinking it down will reduce the look of wobbly lines.
>>2711952
You and me both. I might have lost the stylus for mine while moving too. I'll find out as soon as I unpack everything but I sure don't remember packing it.
>>2711952
I fucking know that feel, bro.
I kind of resort to stopping my drawings at the "sketchy as fuck" stage, because any time I try to actually have some sort of lineart, I feel like I lose the whole energy of the sketch and have shitty-looking lines anyway.
>>2711982
This anon speaks truth. Use your whole arm, not just your fingers or wrists. If your arm doesn't feel like hell after drawing you're doing it wrong.
>>2711871
I recommend Krita if you have a tablet, and if you have no money like me.
Before that though, if you really think your skill is lacking, and really want to improve fundamentals, then you should stick with pencil and paper.
>>217200
And thats fine anon! 'Sketchy-as-fuck' drawings as you have put it can work really well when executed properly.
>that file name
>MFW
>>2711952
What kind of tablet do you have?
-J
>>2711940
I use a Huion 610 because it's a lot cheaper than Wacom Tablets of similar size, but the drivers that run them can be wonky. Wacom Intuos draw is a good starting place if you want to go that way though.
For drawing programs my personal favorite is Clip Studio Paint because it's super customizable but it may be intimidating for people not used to picking up new software very easy. If you know how to use Photoshop at all though it shouldn't be too hard to pick up. Sai Painter is a favorite of a lot of artists but it's abandonware and a bit more expensive than Clip Studio Paint. There's also Photoshop but despite being the standard for high end artists I don't know if I would really recommend it since it's not really meant for drawing even if it's used that way. There are so many little quality of life things that make other programs more appealing in my opinion. If money isn't a factor or you're going to pirate one anyway I'd suggest Clip Studio Paint.

Keep drawing, never stop.
>>2711952
If you're just learning to draw, don't start with a tablet. It's like drawing on glass. Shit's way harder.
Most people you see doing digital work turn on tons of stabilizer-y shit to compensate. I'd recommend against that, as it doesn't force you to improve your motor skills, but keep in mind it IS harder than paper, Ctrl+Z be damned.
>>2712112
YOU CAN DO IT
>>2712171
this is really going to make me cry... fucking hell.
thank you.
>>2712150
I don't think it's that bad of an idea to start with a tablet. The biggest hurdle in learning to draw is gaining the motivation to draw every day even when you don't really feel like it. And the skills using a tablet transfer to pen and pencil.
As for stabilization, turning on even high stabilization isn't going to make your lines look less shitty when you draw them. The only real reason that stabilization exists is because tablets are so 1 to 1 in their transfer of information to the computer you end up getting jitter that wouldn't be noticeable on paper using a pen.
The only time stabilization would make a real difference is in inking if you use that technique where you take long but slow strokes over your lines. For the purpose of just normal drawing maxed stabilizer is just going to annoy you when you're trying to draw.

I don't particularly care for the couple... but that's really quite cute.
I've been screwing around with watching 3D Blu-rays with Red/Blue glasses in VLC, and it made me think; how many of you are going to get the 3D blu-ray of Zootopia, and how many of you actually have the equipment to watch it on a 3D TV?
>>2712222
I've always thought 3D was dumb. Not counting VR stuff, that shit's cool.
>>2712222
we have a 3D BD player, with a 3D tv to boot. But I honestly don't care for it. I pre-ordered the regular BD.

>>2712222
3D has always been a meme, a pretty shit one at that.
>>2712222
I have the setup to watch it, but haven't used more than the month or so after I got it. I just came with the tv I got.

An important part of this is attitude.
You listened to advice, you're willing to learn, and you didn't just shut things down or run off. On the internet, that's not always common.

Paper has resistance though. It has an actual feedback loop. Tablet does not. It's like saying you can learn to rollerblade after learning to ice skate. You can, but why.
I value motor control over any advantages the tablet brings me. Learning to draw was hard enough, I can't imagine my babbyart self overcoming the slip and slide of the tablet's surface as well. It'd just be another obstacle I'd try to fill in with technological 'solutions'.
In short, it's more finnicky and more powerful than a stick of charcoal and a slab of regurgitated tree, and I'd argue you should wring as much skill out of the simpler medium before moving on to the persnickity one.
>>2712290
I thought it would be cool, but it wears off really quickly. Games in 3D were better, but you forget that it's even on after about half an hour. It could just be me, though.
>>2712222
I can't stand 3D. Always kinda ruins the colors, to me, and I've never seen a single film where the 3D brought anything to the story.

I understand what you're getting at but the important thing is to find motivation in drawing. Being part of a community like contributing in a general makes it a lot easier to get in the habit of making art. There are advantages and disadvantages of drawing in both mediums but I don't think the difference is big enough to overcome the hard part which is the motivation to draw in the first place.
Also Wacom tablets are textured so that they do give a little bit of resistance while drawing. I know it's not the same and learning to draw while looking at a screen is difficult but it's not like learning to draw on a tablet isn't going to give you transferable skills when drawing in a sketchbook. I do both regularly.

>Always kinda ruins the colors
Even the theater 3D they have now? Anaglyph sure by the theater stuff just dims things, the colors look fine (at least to me)
>>2712322
I like the depth, but I hate how it comes at the cost of only being able to focus properly on one part of the scene. Looking away from the focal point seems to cause everything to get out of whack.
Feeling like I could reach out and touch the bun isn't worth losing my ability to explore with my eyes.
>>2712334
I've had an intruos3 and a cintiq. The intruos didn't have texture worth a damn. Maybe they've changed things?
Regarding community: get a scanner. You'll want one anyway.

Can't sleep, so decided to dink around on my tablet even though I shouldn't with a sharp nib. I've had a Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen and Touch for 6 or 7 years and it still works just as well as the day I got it, but I'm looking to upgrade to a Cintiq when I get the funds.
>>2712334
This is why I love Wacom over most other tablets, some have the same texture but most are far too smooth and the pen slips around too much for me to feel really comfortable with.
As for digital compared to traditional, I think it's important for any artist in this day and age to be familiar with both. You can have a preference but not at least being capable of both is a huge minus that you're gonna have compared to all the other artists online. Learn initially through traditional art and once you have a basic grasp on the fundamentals and know that you want to pursue more in art invest in a good quality tablet, don't skimp on it, you're gonna use it a lot! The initial disconnect (at least for the non-screen tablets since I can't really speak for the screen ones) is jarring. It takes quite some time to get used to not watching your hand but it does get better, especially if you do mechanical practice. What I've found is that when working in one form for a long stretch of time, I can switch to the other form and have learned a lot for both. The biggest problem I have with digital is that (for whatever reason) I build bad habbits a lot easier in digital, so I have to constantly be aware of any and try to actively fix them.
>>2712279
Brilliant.
>>2712361
I don't know really, I used a wacom bamboo from 4 or so years ago when I was first really getting into drawing regularly and it had some texture. I used it so much that by the time I bought a new one the texture was completely rubbed off. The huion tablet I use now doesn't have any texture but I never found the texture to be that appealing anyway. As for scanning stuff, that's such a pain, I've always hated scanning things in.
>>2712389
Its interesting, your digital art is a lot 'cleaner' but the shading always looks 'fake'. The pen and paper art obviously is more messy but the shading seems to give the images more depth
>>2712383
It's the whole trash thing. Everyone who doesn't fit in ends up here. Including artists and potential artists who get fed up with the mods elsewhere.

The best ways to learn are through figure drawing, still life's, and perspective drawings. If you can learn to do all of those things then there's not really anything you can't draw or at least use the skills from those to learn how to draw it. I'm still far from being proficient in any of those things, but I like to think I have a basic understanding and it helps when you have to solve a problem and instead of just trying random stuff over and over again you can just identify the problem and understand what techniques to use to fix it.
I'd also recommend that, at least when you're starting out, construct everything, even the most basic of shapes! You might think, "Oh this characters eyes are very simple I'll just draw what I think they should look like" but I urge you to construct the full form of the eyes and sockets and everything! JUST CONSTRUCT IT ALL. Eventually you'll get to a point where you can get away with shortcuts, and I do it myself pretty often especially in sketches, but I really shouldn't!!!
>>2712409
I know what you mean, but I think it tends to be that because the shading's smoother digitally there's a lot of space that looks very similar, the sketch traditional shading makes it appear to have more depth than it really does, if that makes sense. Still something I need to work one though!

So this is what I can scribble in the little amount of time before I need to go to bed. I always pictured my squirrel as something out of animal crossing.

I'll definitely second constructing everything. I feel like I wasted a lot of time in retrospect because I thought that doing that stuff was a waste of time at one point. It took me way too long to realize that even artists who don't use construction lines can basically see them without drawing them because they used them so much when learning that it's become second nature.
I also think that some lessons are easier to learn at different times for people though. At the time I think I was just really not ready to learn that way yet. But if you want to actually learn how to do things you can't delude yourself into thinking that you are going to be able to eyeball things especially when you're starting out.

Definitely, you can buy a how to draw manga book, follow the directions perfectly and draw whatever character it tells you to make but you're still not a mangaka. The issue is not the final product, but rather how you got there, and whether or not you can do it consistently, so learning proper construction is a huge help in being able to consistently make the shapes you want. I definitely used shortcuts and symbols way too much for the longest time and even though I've been drawing my whole life I only really started understanding it a few years ago. I hated practicing perspective before, but now I enjoy it a lot because it's a challenge that I have to actually think about instead of just feeling it out intuitively. My current struggle is rendering things, and it doesn't help that I don't really have software like SAI or Corell Painter that work really well for it.

Don't let weaver fool you. He's a better artist than he lets on.
