No. I will simply look at the drawings of talented people that draw Chino.

Read books. Lots of fucking books. Find reasons why other writers make their characters likable, then steal the fucking idea and change it slightly. Look up writing prompts, listen to music, then try to imagine what your character would do. Little by little, you'll flesh out your characters. You can try to imagine a big end game scenario and try to create a way to get there as you go. Just remember nothing's set in stone and you can change shit as you please.

Nothing gets done if you are not willing to put in the effort. You don't need to make something awesome the first day. Doodle, make stick figures, anything! There isn't a single person that can make you a good artist, except for you. You need to put the time and effort. You just need to suck it up and keep drawing.

you're well on your way. spend more time practicing the most basic construction of shapes first. you need to hone your foundations before stylizing. pay more attention to joint connections. get used to drawing simple overlapping shapes in isolation. spend more time doing speed poses while paying close attention to line of action. don't worry about completing the drawing just get the dynamic down. swift strokes, and again, keep the shapes very simple at first. slowly work your way up to complexity and stylise later. study life, but also analyze styles you like. don't be afraid to experiment. also, study skeletal structure. it really will make your life a bit easier.

i'm still learning myself but these steps have helped my drawings look less stiff. drawing ballet poses is a fun way to practice dynamism. sorry for laying this out in a disorganized manner.

Sometimes, you have to challenge or mentally corner yourself into doing it. Convince yourself that drawing will be more productive than shiposting or masturbating until 3am in the morning. That's how I forced myself into it. You're going to feel like shit at first too, because you've already developed the ability to recognize art, and your current skill level won't be enough to appease yourself.

What are your tools? What software are you using to draw, are you using pencil, tablets, etc. What don't you understand?

I personally lowered my standards to drawing chibi moeblobs when I first started, since it's not hard to fuck those up.

>>156647333
No, the sticky's a decent learning source, but the actual board is shit and genuinely will hurt more than it helps.

Why should I draw if others artist can draw her properly?

>>156648098
Well if that's true then i suggest doing something you like instead of wasting more time on art because clearly you don't like it. Being praise is something that come later, just do something well and it will follow

>>156648173
Just a pen and paper. What I don't understand is everything. Loomis, Drawabox, Keys to drawing, Perspective. All too confusing.

>>156648098

>>156648247
The art of drawing is just understanding how your eyes see the world, and putting it on paper with lines. That's what Keys to Drawing teaches you.

Do you own any manga or artbooks at all? Place a piece of paper over a page and gently, lightly trace over it. Steal the artist's body shapes and facial expressions for your own.Your art won't look exactly like them, but you might ingrain a few of their techniques into your own as you develop.

Trace over it, and try to imagine the "skeleton" or proportions the artist used. I copied things like the positioning of the eyes in proportion to the face. I actually didn't understand the egg head concept very well, and a lot of my early art looked like they lacked brains and their craniums never developed properly. It also helped me understand how poofy hair can be on women.

Learn how to be bored. Seriously. Most kids have forgotten how to do it nowadays. Boredom is the most precious thing human evolution has created. It motivates you and makes you try all sorts of new things. Interesting things. Things that broaden your horizon.

It's easy. Just cut yourself off from the constant overstimulation for a while. Deny yourself video games for this month. The entire month. Resist the cravings of the addiction, and watch the miracle unfold. Boredom will help you start and do things with ease that you've procrastinated over for years.

Might be. I took it as a sort of "inheritance" when my uncle died in '89. He also had a sketchbook with reclining nude women, which got me started trying the same in my teens, but I'll be damned if I can recall where either of them are these days.

>>156651921
Looks like the artist used more realistic proportions for the anatomy, since anime characters tend to be skeleton tier thin. A chase two rabbits, catch none thing.

>>156652000
It's a pretty good book. I recommend it. Also usually a good spot for it is just go to a public place like a mall and just sketch basic body shapes, noting the differences in how the body moves with each person.

>>156641686
I like how her right arm is missing an ulna and radius, truncating it to half the length of her left arm.

She also looks like she suffers from microcephaly, and has beaten the odds by not dying befire pubescence.

It's a very empowering drawing for mutants and retards alike.

>>156652000
Are you the protagonist of Bakuman?

>>156651921
because he treats muscles as fat bags, which in turn affects the way he tries to fit in the muscle on the anime girl

most likely because of using bad anatomy ''illustrations'' which are actually vector pic from normie books and not proper ones

also bad perspective on the stairs one

>>156652179
I wish. It's been some twenty years since Rogue. I can seem to draw from looking at a reference without tracing, but haven't quite figured out why I can't bring it from mind's eye to paper or screen.

Took me a while to learn hair flows and pokes out, as opposed to being large clumps of triangles like Goku or Cloud. If you mean the other lines, that's the original egg outline for the head. It's on a layer with lowered opacity so it could serve as a reminder how big the subjects head really was, as well as establishing the boundaries of where I attempt to place hair.

I actually erase a lot of the unnecessary ones though. Polish up as I go. What's yours look like?

I don't really force myself to do it everyday just to do it, it's just when I feel like it (which is still very often). Once I get into it I can easily work the whole day.

I overall don't have much motivation problem since I have too many things I wants to draw, it's more time I'm lacking if anything. Though I do get lazy. It's really satisfying to draw once you go enough skill to do what you wants.

>>156656991
Fuck off.

I tried and I kep trying, but there's no clear cut guide to do it at all.
Until last year most of time I devoted to learn to draw was.. trying to find some good fucking guides and advices on the internet and never managed to find anything.
Finally said fuck it and just started to grind posemaniac and half trace over my favorite artists. I got great results but I still have no idea how to color or have nice lines in one go.
And after like 7 months of drawing anatomy almost daily I feel like I hit a wall.

>>156657104
Why? I just shared my first experience with drawing.

>>156657104
?

>>156657029
Too much detail, clothing is hugging bodies way too tightly. A suit is semi-formfitting at best and nowhere near Fubuki-sama's number. Reeks of western art style.

>>156657104
Is it because of Rem?
I only drew her because I know a girl who is really good at drawing and she told me to draw Rem because she is easy to draw.

>>156657125
I find motivation in telling myself "just draw what you want" instead of trying to master poses and anatomy. It's not like I'm trying to sell my art or get Likes on the internet, so I'm pretty content with what I can draw well, which is the face from 2-3 angles and the body from 2.

>>156641556
I did just this but in the other order. I started drawing when I was 12 and learning Japanese when I was 13, and that was 17 years ago. Both have been fun.

Where the hell is this book so I can study it? It better be free or Ill just stick to loomis.

>>156657029
I guess I have a problem getting started. And if the first thing I draw turns out bad I lose motivation. But you're right in that you just have to keep going.

About 1 to 2 months on cintiq, but i imaging it must be longer on normal tablet since you have to get used to not looking at the tablet but the screen

I usually draw husbandos.

>>156658413
Several pieces. Make sure you map the tablet screen at 1:1 ratio to your computer screen, then just draw until you become familiar with drawing without looking at the surface your pen is on. If you never get used to it but your regular art's fine, then digital drawing just might not be for you until you put down that $1000+ for a Cintiq.

>>156658413

you never get there unless you work with a wacom cintiq or something but you get close enough within a few days of work. People oftens use stabilizer though.

Thank you guys. It's infuriating to draw like a small child (but not charming in anyway) digitally and be able to draw like a normal adult on paper.

I try.

>>156658413
I've had a tablet for like 8 years and I fucking never got used to it. I still have to sketch the picture on paper first and trace it with tablet. I simply can't draw without seeing my hands

>>156639744

It's why I learnt to draw. I can get my obscure unwanted unpopular waifu to do whatever (pure) activities I want to.

I lost my tablet pen and now stuck with a tablet with no way to draw, most infuriatingly. It's a 10-year-old Wacom tablet, so I can't even buy a replacement pen, not that I can afford it anyways.

You might be the first artist ive seen whose boys are better drawn than girls

He's not a shut-in. He goes out and gets exercise. Diet is just not the top priority.

When you exercise, muscle tissues began to tear apart, having a right diet is important for muscle repair and grow.

>>156659411
Yeah, I'm aware. I did sports for 9 years, had a poor diet and remained skinny as shit.

>At least I'm trying to learn.
A serious drawing tip, anon; the eyes is in the MIDDLE of the face. You only think it is higher up due to the fact that you ignore the space where her skull is. This applies for both realistic and anime style faces.

The reason your waifu looks like she lacks a brain is because of that.

At least you drew the eye sizes correctly. Namely you can draw the eyes as large as you like, but make sure to keep the distance between the eyes exactly one eye wide.

This rule is why so many anime faces have WIDE faces. By having large eyes it required wide faces to fit the eye gap in.

Pic very related. And happy drawing.

An example of having big eyes, you need to have a wider face.

around a month, i use the tablet aside from drawing (bring it at work or use it on normal desktop task)

>>156659772
you need to push yourself- strive to complete full pieces of work; that means fully fleshed out characters interacting with each other or the environment

get out of your comfort zone! even if your work sucks (and it will), take note of what you did badly or struggled with and focus on filling those gaps before you start your next piece

it's hard and it sucks and it takes fucking ages but the result will be very much worth it

>>156657287
are you me

>An example of having big eyes, you need to have a wider face.
And that is actually why some many Western cartoons failed when they tried to deliberately make anime girl faces for parody. They just keep the average Western human head but then enlarge the eyes only.
As is mentioned many times, the "2d Anime face" is quite difficult to do right. But the first thing is to ensure that basic facial proportions are followed. The mouth and nose might be nearly non-existent, but they still have to be located at the right locations in relation to the rest of the face. It is how you can draw a face that is basically not human at all, but still looks "cute" because it obeyed human facial ratios.

You can't learn to draw once you haven't started at 10 years old.
