What should I study to draw in this style? Mainly the cityscape but the line work overall is amazing. Are there any other works or artists that have this or a similar style? Please share!

What the fuck is with the image you posted? Was it run through some fake oils filter then sharpened or something? Or is this some weird image compression I've never seen before?
>>2330378
>fake oils
ayyyyy
>>2330378
its been scanned
Here's another version
>>2330378
I guess it's just something weird with the scanner
here's a photograph version

Do a lot of old master studies of landscapes using traditional medium. Go out around town sketching everything. This style, it's digital, or traditional pencil with digital on top with a few filters.
>1. read some books on landscape drawing
>2. get super cozy with dry media
>3. scan that shit
>4. do some fun photoshop magic
>5. draw animu grills of course
>6. ????
>7. profit
>>2330389
Damn that value is sexy.
I have some concept art/roughs.
OP's pic was done by Yoshinari Yoh, who in my opinion is one of the best illustrators of our time
>>2330449
This is what the finished concept looks like
Some really brilliant layouts
Composition is the main thing OP, detail is just embellishing and supporting the initial idea.
I love yoshinari, he's an amazing 2d animator and it feels like he can do anything. You can see him draw a really detailed illustration here and a lot of animation stuff http://www.dramanice.us/the-making-of-little-witch-academia-the-enchanted-parade/watch-the-making-of-little-witch-academia-the-enchanted-parade-episode-1-online
And then you see his illustrations and studies along with his animation skill and it makes no sense how someone this good exists T_T
>>2330490
>it makes no sense how someone this good exists
It's simple: while you're busy chugging yoshi's cock he is drawing on your downtime.
>>2330490
Most of the artbook is character designs, which are good, but not the environment and layout stuff I posted.

no matter how much I draw I wont be as good as him, so yeah im cool with guzzlling his cock
His linework is ridiculous. I don't know of an artist whose work is as fluid as Yoshinari's
>>2330508
Entirely worst attitude to have
I support you anon, keep trying
Here are some sadpanda uploads of his sketchbooks

Are those backgrounds actually Yoh's? Not that I doubt he could do it, he's incredibly skilled, but often times one famous japanese animator gets credited for the work of less famous animators/concept artists who worked with him on the same project because people just see the images online and assume it's his.
>>2330554
That's the wrong one, he doesn't draw that one there, it's in the part 1 making of
his brother kou is also pretty godlike

Just saw LWA 2 and was kinda disappointed. Animation was good obviously, but literally everything else was pretty dull and dragged on for longer than it needed to. Had to rewatch the first short again just to compare and I definitely prefer the first one on all levels.
>>2330490
remember that you're comparing yourself to some dude who's been in the industry professionally for almost as long as you've been alive (i just assume you're a lower to mid 20 something)
>>2331306
>but literally everything else was pretty dull and dragged on for longer than it needed to.
No
>>2331513
This, he was doing mech designs and keyframes for Evangelion before I was born. Even then he was doing pretty mindblowing stuff but it helps to remember that his current skill level is from constantly working for at least as long as I've been alive.
It takes years to get on that level but if you dedicate yourself you can get there too. You might even surpass Yoshinari but you won't know unless you try.

>he was doing mech designs and keyframes for Evangelion before I was born.

Yes

>learn the trigger/gainax animators' names
>find their art
>style studies
For the environment stuff, drawing a lot of environment in general helps, along with architecture and perspective studies. Instead of shooting straight for the style, you could try to learn from real life and then start pushing things toward it. Either way, your own personal style will naturally gravitate toward the things you like, whether it's consciously or not.

I've been looking around for scans of the KLK books, and didn't find much. The books themselves are like $180+ for the set of three, so I guess no one wants to break the spines to scan them.
Two of Yoshinari's books have been scanned, though.
>>2334857
As far as im aware theres very little stuff from Yoshinari in the klk books. Its moslty just pre-prod stuff from Imaishi and Sushio
>>2332519
>Where do you get this cut?
No comments OP?
>>2331525
He's right Anon. Accept our obviously superior opinions
>>2331579
>1984
what medium is he using for the painted pieces?
>>2336364
i thought it was too, but on his da it says some of it is traditional
>>2336364
Probably worth noting that poster colors in Japan are basically cheap gouache and not cheap garbage for children.
>>2336367
Most of his coloring looks to be digital, but his linework appears to be pencil almost all of the time(there's like two drawings in Deadwood Designs that look like they might be ink).
>>2331306
true. this time they had more time and money and still managed to make a worst product. goes to show how tricky animation can be and makes you appreciate consistent products more.
>>2330369
>Yoshinari Yoh
m-must have scans of picrelated

thats not it bruh :(
here is preview of this

About Japanese backgrounds, it seems that a large sum of Ghibli background painting is done with Nicker poster paint
Is the Nicker poster paint really better than other poster paints? Have anyone here use it? How does it compare to Sakura poster paint?
>>2336569
>http://cdn.halcyonrealms.com/anime/yoshinari-yoh-art-book/
I know this is a stupid question, did Yoshinari also color these?
>>2330504
God bless
>>2336569
It's the same book but the color pages weren't scanned because most, if not all of them are already available online.
>>2336681
Yes.
A few eva pics might have been colored by the anime staff, though.
What's KLK?
