Can any of you drawfags explain how this panel is done? How

It would take me a month to draw this, even with tracing. Jesus christ.

I'm having a panic attack just looking at it.

freehand perspective construction.

It requires you to make a lot of geometrical bullshit (no calculus, no need to measure distances with a ruler) and be really precise but it can be done by yourself.

>>>/ic/ has a sticky, which eventually links out into a tutorial on perspective. Mangaka is either mastered the shit out of that perspective stuff, or rotoscoped a high school falling into a black hole.

Also helps that the guy is just that damn good at drawing.

>>111118644
>>111118651
Holy fuck, so he did this free-hand?

Do you guys know how long something like this would take for a pro?

and usually these guys have assistants to help with this stuff right?

I would start by drawing freehand perspective line for reference, then start with the room. Then, do draw ref lines on the floor based on the perspective lines for further reference for me to place the seats. after that, draw the first 3 or so rows in some detail, and do the rest of the rows. and and actual detail into it.

But do keep in mind that Hiramoto Akira is a literal god, and he has skills beyond human understanding

He's a fuckin master

>>111118724
He could have just traced a photo taken with a wide angle lens and then stylized the tracing.

>>111118724
Yeah, but on the one shots for some artists, the first chapters, they do all this shit with usually no more than 2 assistants.

>>111118724
usually they do and even for trained people it takes several hours on average. for this one, I'd say at least 10 hours but I'm not sure, maybe a little less, maybe a lot more. Nothing exceptional for guys who make it their job.

>>111118793
Some of the bigger name artists have up to 6 assistants

>>111118771
Or used a photo as reference. Not hard

>>111118724
Remember those matchstick towers L built in the Death Note manga? the ones with thousands of stupid little matchsticks? Those were drawn by assistants, so, yes, the big names definitely have them.

As for the Prison School mangaka? No idea how he drew that, but it's not outside the realm of possibility that he's just that good. Or photo reference.

>>111118732
Well, doing it without any preparatory perspective construction would be really really badass, but most likely he did use perspective construction, which is completely within the realm of human understanding.

There's fucking shadows on the students' jackets and hair up to the back 5th row.

What the fuck.

Maybe it's because I'm new to this, but my jaw is on the fucking floor.

>>111118724
Are you stupid? Of course he didn't draw it from scratch just using his imagination. It most likely happened like this:
>take a fisheye room photo as a reference
>mark some basic stuff like the placement of people and their most basic shape, the bend of the walls, etc
This alone will take you make 30 minutes. Then you can just start drawing using the markers you've just put.

>>111118843
>>111118874
I think only using a photo reference would actually be harder than using construction (+ a reference, possibly).

That's a well-drawn wide angle. It's not exaggerated as much as other mangaka sometimes do it.

I think it's possible he referenced off a photo, but he ultimately did it by hand. There's something about the row behind that makes me think it was free hand. Likely he put down a shit-tonne of lines for the chairs, torsos and where the heads should generally go.

Okay another question

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU DRAW THIS

Is it true it's just a photo with a filter?

>>111119013
I mean, there's just no fucking way he did this without tracing a photo right?

>>111119013
Yup, it's pretty obvious that it's a photo with a filter.

>>111119013
That author uses tons of filtered photos in all his manga.

>>111119013
looks more like cgi to me, or at least partially. I mean the tiles for example are so even and regular (and slightly pixellated) that it looks more like partial cgi than a photo or a hand drawing.

>>111119079
>>111119097
>>111119107
Is it like a easy one click filter you can get in a software, like Clip Studio Paint, or is it some really complicated process to make it look like this.

>>111119013
Definitely a filtered photo traced over. You can usually tell because the traced lines seem a little blurry and nobody would put that much effort doing shading for individual roof tiles.

>>111118549
The art for Prison School is sooo good.

It's all about learning how to draw perspective, OP. The mangaka probably knows how to do this (if he isn't shooping it, which it doesn't look like he is). Perspective is a bitch to get the hang of, but there's tons of tutorials out there on how to do it.

>>111119013
Oh, yeah, he drew in some, but most of the fillers in this image are definitely pics with filters. It's really easy to tell.

My best guess is he took a model airplane, drew that, and the rest can be pulled from google maps and a filter.

>>111118549
Professional artist here. There are several ways to approach this depending on your skill level and time limit.

If you have all the time in the world, you can spend a day or two working out the five point perspective grid. It's not so much hard as it is simply tedious. I don't find the process to be very fulfilling so I personally use 3d programs and render with a fisheye lens. Alternatively, you could also take a real photo in fisheye or wide angle lens and trace it, and apply a fisheye lens distortion in photoshop. This works best with wide angel lens and the distortion will look off with most regular lens.

When it comes to making mange/comics, time is very limited, so most artists will either have a lot of assistants to draw the backgrounds for them, or use 3D software/tracing to speed things up. At the end of the day, the goal is to tell a story through art, not how detailed you can make the background so it's very common for artist to not hand draw everything you see. I already have problems with my hands from overworking, so shortcuts that reduces stress and saves time is a huge plus.

>>111120551
Where's my shortcut to becoming amazing at art.

>>111120551
Forgot to mention, you could also just draw with a regular perspective grid, and apply the fisheye distortion in photoshop afterward. That will save time on marking out curved grids if you're to type to insist on hand drawing everything.

>>111120623
Become mentally retarded.

Atleast you'll think you're amazing.

>>111120691
That's true.

>>111120623

Honestly tired of this kind of reaction. If I entered a how well can you draw background competition, that would be cheating. If I'm trying to finish a 60 page mange/comic book before my hand breaks or hell freezes over, I do whatever is the fastest.

>>111121305
Next you're going to tell me it's cheating to use references. Pro-tip: Every medium that uses art to tell stories use references and technique for speeding things up. Welcome to the real world, kiddo, sorry to burst your bubble.

>>111121255
I'm an animator so I'm very familiar with using every shortcut necessary to get work done.

>>111121286
Commissions are closed indefinitely. I've been too busy with personal projects. Though for something like the drawing I just posted, I would charge up to $1000 or more if it's for commercial use. Prices used to be lower but as I got busier, it gets higher to make up for lack of time (although commissions are still closed, but this is how much it would have cost if I were still open)

If you break this down to its most basic level, doing this sort of shot is actually quite easy.

Although it should be noted that this doesn't mean anybody can do it right off the bat, you'd need extensive knowledge of simple layouts of perspective and how to do it efficiently otherwise you're better off just using a 3D program or photography to get your results like some other people in this thread just said.

Stuff like that isn't hard at all. It's just an amorphous blob where you don't really need to pay that much attention to coherence and can just add a bunch of random-ass details to make it look good.

>>111122134
Trace? No you just 3D render. That's like saying Pixar redraws their 3D animation in 2D. You click a button that says render, and it becomes what you see. There's still a bit of a 3D look to it but you can just add a few filters and paint over a few parts. I used to draw everything from scratch and boy did that take forever.

>>111118549

It's actually easier to draw a fisheye effect completely by hand than attempt to produce it using complicated reference lines or mess with 3D software. This picture is quite clearly drawn freehand, as the walls and curves don't align with mathematical precision, as they would if it were traced from a reference photo/a 3D model. And there's no need to. In a picture with a lot of details, the human eye is more forgiving when it comes to the general perspective.

Truly 4chins is a place for connaisseurs.

This seems like as good of a thread as any to ask. Why is it that (generally) Eastern comic art is drawn with more skill than the Western equivalent? Obviously there's both savants and shitters on either side, but if you compare the best examples of the two cultures, Japan would win by a pretty high margin. Is it just that comics are so much more popular there than they are here and draw in a larger pool of artists as a result?

Textured brush filter in Photoshop. There a plenty of tutorials online if you google.

>>111123121

There is skill in the west, you're just not looking hard enough.

And besides, once you start diving into stylistic choices between the two sides, arguments become meaningless because of how subjective the subject of art in question is getting.

We could argue all day long on how manga > comics or vice versa, but at the end of the day both mediums have their pros and cons and everybody has their preferences and must learn to appreciate the many forms of art both comics and manga represent.

>>111123248
oops, not filter, just textured brushes. I should sleep...

How did you become a professional artist? I mean what did you do to get work for the first time, and how are you doing it now?

>>111118549

intermediate artists can even accomplish this sort of effort, it just takes dedication and your skill to lay down the detail.

The great thing about doing things like this is that the artist can keep everything consistent when revisiting locations, scaling back the workload massively.

Isn't that from the mangaka of Innocent? It's the mountain climbing manga, no?

That Shinichi guy is really talented. While I don't really liked either of his works his art is superb; then again this is a monthly series iirc.

Guys...guys.

>>111123672

connections

you can land a job easier if you just have a connection to somebody already in the business you're looking for. And with the internet this sort of thing has never been easier.

Just immerse yourself in websites and forums and IRC channels with other people and try to socialize. Don't be a dick and don't be a kiss-up and don't blatantly advertise yourself. Ask for critiques and help other artists by critiquing them.

There was a guy who scored a job at pixar just by emailing some of the people their his work and asking for some critiques up until Pixar thought "hey this guy is pretty good we can use him" and asked him if he was up to the task.

Of course there are other ways of getting into the business, like just showing off your work or some shit. Just make yourself known, don't set up a portfolio site and wait for jobs to come to your feet, you need to go out there and talk to other people.

>>111123672
I started young (12) so by the time I needed work for money, I already had a lot of experience. I gained enough followers online that I could post a journal about commissions and have enough orders to live off of. After posting my online comics, publishers contacted me. Now I just table in artist alley at conventions selling my books and prints. It's a surprisingly good and stable source of income. I would recommend it for all artists new and old. It's a great way to meet friends and gain experience.

Good luck!

I can't even draw good looking stick men. All I want to do is draw beautiful things.

>>111124035
And they told me getting into art wouldn't work and wouldn't be stable etc.
Goddamit. Thanks for the answer.
>>111123952
Thanks to you too.

>>111124037
Take a look at /ic/'s sticky, it might help you.

>>111124037
That takes practice. Get to drawing now. And start with simple things.

>>111124284
Stable or not you wouldn't know until you've tried it yourself. If this is your dream, you should follow it. Sounds cheesy but you know, your life should be lived your way, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. If you fail the first time, you can try again or try something new.

Gonna sleep now. Later, anons!

>>111124459
Yeah, very recently I've experienced this for myself so a few regrets appeared. Thanks again.

I can draw well as a hobby but I can't fathom doing this professionally. I would be too afraid of getting a mental block or my fingers suddenly losing dexterity and I suddenly can't draw even if deadline was closing. I already have that fear and I'm not in any industry yet.

Same here, anon. I got some very talented friends that are pushing their art and getting work out of it (got one friend developing a manga that's showing a lot of promise) but here I am just sketching kiddy shit.

Artistic blocks are easy to get over once you find the right inspiration or motivation (money is a good one), but physical is a lot more difficult. I have a shoulder injury and it's a huge restriction, both physically and mentally. I find there's no point trying to learn new, elaborate techniques because I wouldn't be able to do them anyway.

You're probably younger and fitter than I am though, so I'm jealous. You have a lot more potential and doors open for you and you should be trying to do the most to exploit those.
