Thoughts on Shadman?
fuck off
>>2983928
Stop posting Shad, if you have time to shitposting then try and improve your shitty anatomy
Why are people so interested in Shadman?
He's boring. There's nothing new to talk about. Next.
>want to learn superior japanese practice method
>"I just draw 100 squares, 100 circles and 100 quads as a warm up."
Seriously though what is the superior practice method?
Stay curious, learn how to see your art with a critical eye, never stop reading or studying about the subject. Always put your knowledge and self-critique into practice.
stop making shit threads and use your brain, there's a sticky with all relevant info for a reason
fucking hate you idiots shitting up this board - you are never going to even make anything of art in the first place

I have no muny.
Doodles i did in school
another one
Don't forget your book report is due Monday
Oh heavens, another one of these.
Read the sticky if you have ambitions at improving your art. It's full of resources: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uwaXKU7ev6Tw_or__o8ARpUb6r2rCZYJGqwSFV9AD98/edit#bookmark=id.15jx3pyuimvj
Now, onto your drawing. It's messy, it's on lined paper, it lacks fundamentals.
You probably won't get much more out of this thread. Just read the sticky.
Why do people like drawing other people so much? 99% of /ic/ is men drawing girls.
Why?
>>2986461
Answer your own fucking question. You put most of the pieces into that little puzzle anon.
Give yourself a little credit.
>>2986464
I did not answer my own question, and neither did you. If this level of inquiry is what you consider success, well no wonder you suck ass. Wanna dance, byatch? I'll give you the full tango.
>>2986461
Humans are expressive creatures, and /ic/ i believe is predominantly female according to a poll if i'm not mistaken, so maybe it's because girls are fun to draw?
Seriously nigga you high or something cause what's the point of this thread?
Has anyone drawn any political drawings. Nazi, Trump, Hillary, Fascism, Army, Society Etc.
>>2986307
I got one.
>>2986313
have you personally drawn any?
Political art is a joke. The problem with political cartooning is that it only depicts the ironies of the politician -- which only succeeds in making them more compelling to their audience, it doesn't succeed in warning readers away from a potential candidate.
Society is more compelling than politics, which is why business manga is more engaging -- there you can explore the ironies of both the purveyor and consumer before commenting on broader social trends.
>reading Bartender manga atm and it's fascinating.
Taxes..
Does anyone actually do them here? Has anyone gotten into shit by the IRS? Stories? Ideas? Help?
Cheers guys.
I won't tell :3
>>2985376
taxation is theft
Pay your taxes, you stupid faggot.
I've been trying to think about what makes an artist "well rounded" to identify skills that I need to learn as an aspiring Illustrator/Concept Artist. This all started from an observation I made about Anime/Manga, in that, when I was younger I used to want to draw Anime/Manga all the time and it would be all I drew. However now I look at most Anime/Manga and see certain fundamentals and aspects of drawing focused on and exaggerated and other aspects either ignored or toned down (This isn't exclusive to Anime/Manga, American Comics do it tool). I know all Anime/Manga doesn't focus on some aspects of drawing due to either of these two things: A. It would cost (or take too much time) to traditionally animate that shit for a TV series, or B. The creator picked certain aspects of drawing and developed a style with it. Some Anime/Manga is more "realistic" or makes more use of fundamentals and some is more stylized. I dropped drawing Anime completely a year ago, because as I learned more, the less I thought drawing Anime/Manga would be helpful to my practice. Don't get me wrong if you like drawing Anime/Manga go for it, But I beg you please either incorporate fundamentals with it or learn fundamentals first. Eventually when I think I'm better at drawing I'll endulge in drawing Anime but right now I'll gladly except that I'm bad and I want the most optimal road to my own improvement.
After doing some thinking I came up with a list of as many Fundamentals/Aspects of drawing as I could think of.
- Perspective
- Composition
- Silhouette/Contour
- Inner Contour
- Cross Contour
- Value Scaling
- Shading
- Technical Drawing
- Gesture
- Anatomy
- Light and Shadow
- Design
- Color Picking
- Color Theory
- Coloring
I'm not sure if this list is complete please add to it, I'd love to hear your opinion on this topic, this is my experience share yours /ic/.
tl;dr? Put down the hentai and become a fundiesfag or you're never gonna make it....jk
I wish you guys best of luck!
>>2983828
You literally listed everything.
Whatever, in my opinion these things are necessary to make something look good:
>proportions
>perspective
>sense of depth
>composition
Regarding to rendering:
>hard shadows
>understanding contour
By what i've seen manga drawing is "stylized proportions+construction+anime face"
It can look really cool if you don't just paste the anime face on head but integrate it on the anatomy of the head.
I'm a shitter but i'm intending to make a hentai doujin but my first two walls are proportion and perspective.
I'm trying to draw as many hands legs and feet i can because i don't have any other reference than my own body.
Another key on anime/manga drawing is that i've noticed is that lacks of the "ugly features of human body" like cellulite in fat bodies, the teeth, the way the hair behaves in real life, the feet and hands looking rough.

can i get a sauce on that image....cus....MUH DICK!!!

I've been thinking of getting a cintiq but, since I live in a 3d world shithole, they're too expensive and I'll probably go with a Huion alternative (the GT 185 looks good).
Please tell me your experiences with on-screen tablets like these, especially if you started with a regular tablet. I've been using an Intuos 3 for about 3 years, for what it's worth.
>>2982452
By the way, just so you have an idea, the Cintiq 13HD goes for the equivalent to 2500 USD here.
>buy cintiq 13hd
>very little difference from a screenless intuos
>give to partner to use as a replacement for his broken computer monitor
>currently considering buying an intuos again
>>2982452
I wish I lived in the 2D anime world too. Maybe when we die ,anon.
Last thread: >>2974055
This thread is meant for artists who might want to try to make anime works in-between their studies. It is strongly recommended that you use this thread in conjunction with learning the elements and fundamentals of art. You can also discuss the visual elements of various professional artists as well if you keep it relatively articulate and civil.
Submit your drawings, receive feedback or critique others! Share your knowledge and remember to thank those who've critiqued or red-lined your drawings. Most importantly, have fun!

So I just returned from a trip to Havana, Cuba, and the Cuban museum of fine arts. In the museum I saw an exubition of cuban artist Eugenio Rodríguez, that I really liked.
But I can't find any information on him online. I origionally wanted to buy an artbook on him, but now I just seek out anything on him.
Anyone who can help?
People doesn't care because he's not a dissident
Post more work.
Can't really find more, that's the problem.
But these i think is his, and somewhat resembles these prints and xilografias i saw at the exobition.
i feel like i'm having more trouble drawing a black blob than i should be. anyone on /ic/ got any tips for character silhouettes?
>>2986302
Silhouettes are important. They describe the form of your character at a glance, so try and get that right first. If you can get the silhouette looking right, the rest of the design will work
>>2986336
i gotcha, and i mean. i kinda already get that. it's why some of the most simple character designs work so well ya know?
>>2986340
That's all there is to it really, just make sure the silhouette is communicating what you want to convey, ie make sure the hat shes wearing actually looks like a hat in silhouette etc and that the pose and expression you are intending reads almost immediately
I used to be brimming with confidence in making it in digital art but now I have almost none, I have no real thoughts that I will be someone relevant and successful in the future, even as I make steady gains in my own art and continue improving.
It seems to me that if I want to rival the artists I look up to, I have to have an unreal level of business and social acumen, and that worries the fuck out of me a lot more than my art.
Anyone else feel the same, if so, can you share any experiences regarding this or maybe solutions?
>>2984981
post work, we'll let you know if you should worry
>>2984981
Same here, what's more. I don't even like art but I still do it 6 hours a day. If I money I'd leave art behind, get my pilots license and do nothing but fly as much as possible.
You can always take solace in the fact that no matter how much confidence you have, (or lack of it) if you grind fundamentals like a Madman, you'll get good no matter what, and good gets paid.
>>2984981
It's OK anon.
You can join the countless ranks of other hopeless, insecure anons who waste their time here shitting on other artists while they wait for their unscheduled visit from the angel of death...
Or you can leave this place and start seeking productive help.
