How do people draw anime? It looks so clean. Anytime I try drawing it, my work looks like chicken scratch and takes hours cleaning up. And it still looks like deviant art tier garbage.

They have the spark.

Either you don't have the spark or you're not from Japan.

as you gain experience and your wrist become agile it take less and less time to clean

I guess I'll never be able to draw it good.
Are there any good guides for drawing anime, or do most people here rely on self teaching and practice?
For those that don't have an art related job, how do you balance work and practicing for your art? Especially if you're still a beginner.

Did you make this thread thinking you were being clever or are you just trying to maximize shitpost efficiency for minimum effort?

Initially #1 because it's drawn in red which is a very visually dominating color
Then #3 after about 5 seconds

Looking for art based on ancient Africa. It can be historically accurate or fantasy. I'll post what I have
Where tf is the main light source direction in this? It looks awesome but it's confusing me trying to figure it out. Are you guys able to spot it?
>>2473920
It looks like top left but the face feels very off
>>2473922
Maybe it's from a small flash light
>>2473920
Theatrical lighting.
As if a creaw if light guys were pointing bunch of limelights at her fron here and there
How does /ic/ feel about people who uses Poser or similar software to archive realism?
is it worth using?
Yes.
As I'm going through art school, I'm slowly realizing how important it is to introduce some sort of actual reference to my workflow.
If you go by imagination, you'll be stuck noodling around trying to make it look right, when you could take a camera and take a pic in 15 mins and save tons of time.
Look at James Gurney, he achieves realism through his fictional work. How? He does millions of real life studies, he makes maquettes for lighting purposes, and he uses that information in conjunction with his imagination to create the pieces we...

Wow, thanks for posting this thread. Had no idea this existed and now I'll probably be using it every day.

It's like Google Sketchup, an invaluable tool for building settings that you can reference at any angle
No rules, only tools
Alright /ic/ now you LITERALLY have no excuse to not be working on your own animated series
LITERALLY NO EXCUSE
My PC can't handle Toonz.

one more step towards killing flash?
Does anyone use a tablet with a screen?
I'm thinking of buying one. I have a separate small no screen tablet and kind of hate it desu.
I use the surface pro 4.
Yes. I am using it right now.
They are not worth the price. You can buy a new powerful PC with a large Intuos Pro and a great monitor for the same money. If you don't give a fuck about the money, then buy it. But it won't really improve your skills though.
How do I make etchings like pic related? Where do I get plates+acid+hardground and what tools should I use to get variance in line? Any good books on this? Most of what I find on google is 'lol i went to art school and don't know how to control my medium, every print is a surprise!'. Obviously it's hard as fuck, but good prints are prolific enough that I'm sure the method has been more-or-less perfected and recorded somewhere.
detail pic in next post.
hi-res version.
The other question I have is how the gradation dot pattern is achieved. For example, look at the cheek. It looks like the white areas are where hardground was scraped away to create the black dot pattern. However this is the opposite to what i've seen where you scrape away the area that you want inked, not vice versa.
I did etching in school once, it was a tedious process of scraping with a needle. If I wanted to do it now I would draw digitally, convert to Gerber format and outsource to a PCB manufacturer. Any good one can do 0.1mm or smaller details so you should have no problem with hatching etc. Obviously specify no solder mask and ENIG coating (HASL isn't flat enough).

That's a pretty novel idea actually, thanks. I suspect it'll be out of my price range though.
I'm very interested in how it was done traditionally. I'm no stanger to tedious stuff (I've done a few 30 hr cast drawings in my time). I'm pretty sure this is the same method used for USD portraits, but I can only find info on the paintings the etchings are based on, not the actual etchings.

Do you need a book to draw anime or you just reference everything from mangakas
>>2465030

Hello all! I posted a timelapse a few days ago, and got some great feedback. Any feedback on the new timelapse I made would be greatly appreciated.

So where is the art?
You could've at least used some post-production stabilization.
>>2474016
Thanks I agree. I'm honestly not even sure how to go about stabilization properly without it looking ridiculous.
>>2474008
I saw the pic and thought "timelapse, so speedpaint, right" and then it was just literally a camera that you left on a rooftop for a day. What feedback do you want? it's a camera that you left of all day and sped up the recording. It's not like it could be potentially better and the only way it would be worse is if a bird shat on the lens. For what purpose did you do this for?
