^- that's his art, according to the "about" page on his youtube. I guess he's a tranny? The art is standard tumblr fare, extremely low-level. If that's the sort of art you want to do, then yeah, anatomy study is unnecessary. But if you want to be good at art, anatomy is one of the top skills you need to know.

There's a reason anatomy and the human figure has been one of the primary focuses of Western art since the Renaissance, and it's not going to be dethrone by some tumblr tranny.

Haven't watched the whole video, but I don't think he says anatomy study is unnecessary, just that it shouldn't be a top priority, which is true. There are lots of pros who have studied anatomy to the point where they were able to draw decent figures and understood the most important landmarks of the human body and then went on to more important subjects. Also a lot of great artists only study anatomy passively through figure drawing, never break-downs of isolated muscles and bones and all that shit.

Keep a text file for this stuff anon. I saved this awhile back. I didn't write it and I don't know if it's what you're looking for:

>>a Perspective Grid. Do you actually create one? If so, how?
Tools my friend. There are some wonderful perspective grid creators out there.

Most are stand-alone, and simply output a reference image for you to overlay in your work. Some can be overlaid on top of your desktop too.

Here's a list of the ones I personally know of:
- PerspectiveEditor, by KNDY (Japanese, free, outputs to image, has a really intuitive/easy-to-use UI):
http://www33.atwiki.jp/kndy/pages/94.html
I personally really like this one, so I translated it to English.

- EasyRuler, by eikun (Japanese, free, overlays on top of existing software, has many many features):

I REALLY want to translate this one, maybe some day I will. It appears to have all sorts of useful perspective rulers, 3D tools, etc:

Picture related, what I've been doing using PerspectiveEditor.

There was like one person in my drawing classes that drew so well all her drawings made the models look like these really dynamic Hellenistic sculptures. Whatever she was doing she didn't learn it from the shitty drawing class. And she was hot too. It baffled me.

I keep expecting your work to become more like the work of John Patrick Byrne, James Stewart, or Thomas Hart Benton. You've got all the talent necessary, but pull back in terms of distance.

Do you have any clothes or symbols that might be fun to paint.

You can convert PS brushes to CSP brushes and do all tutorials

Haven't tried it myself yet but I'm guessing that should work perfectly

>>3135263

You can't "convert" PS brushes to CSP. You can import the brush shape, but since the brush engines are different they won't be the same. It is obviously possible to do approximations but there is no such thing as converting brushes

>>3135256
I'm wondering this as well. I'm taking this digital painting class and it requires photoshop. I have installed some pseudo photoshop brushes but I can't tell if it's the same shit or not because instead of working with opacity we're working with sai's brush adjustments. Any help to make this less confusing would be appreciated.

The bigger the tablet you get the less portable it becomes, those massive cintiqs can't even move off the table, people have had to install very strong movable arm things to move it around but even then it's heavy

Smaller tablets allow you to fit it into a small bag, carry it with one hand, very portable


But the smaller the tablet you get the less drawing space you have and generally the quality of the tablet goes down, big tablets have more room for buttons and nifty features


I'd recommend asking yourself what you want, do you intend to sit as a desk with good posture and make art that way or would you prefer to take your tablet with a laptop and use it in bed and on the train
Imo don't go inbetween because it seems like you'd just lose the best of both worlds

>>3135146
That sounds like a very clumsy response tbqh.

>>3135136
Imagine your computer screen stretched on your table and compare that to the size you're used to when drawing on paper.
I have a huion giano (14 x 8.5 in), and I can't say that its size would be such a big advantage over a medium sized tablet. About 10 x 6 inch would be ideal, I think.

To answer your question, nah, I don't think it's worth upgrading. The only two categories that I'd be deciding between is M sized pen tablets and L sized screen tablets, depending on budget.

>bought a bigger tablet

I'm reading this book for the first time and I'm really impressed.

Are there any prerequisites before reading this book and going through it? Or can I jump right in?

>>3134901
I didnt know this at first either but apparently its called "Trash"

Pretty much

Needs shaded nose.

I still don’t understand that particular style choice, even with kid book illustrations and other folk craft.

>it's drawn and written by a dude

Go to questions thread and check their big sticky.

It's amazing to think that this hasn't been animated yet.

why don't you guess what they used for materials

and copy there lines. trace the designs.

you can end up finding faster and easier to reach the same result.

looks to me like they're using ink and watercolor.

they look sincerely jewish.

>>3134487
why do you say that? anti-semitism here, eh?

By understanding what lines made it look like that and why. If you don't even know why it looks like that, you're just accidentally creating the effect.

>>3134367
So what you're saying is there is no contour line per se, you have to "create" contour by feeling it :^)

>>3134362
Draw with one layer. Basically, don't lineart the sketch on a diffferent layer, just refine it.

Funny thing, I just came back from a trip to Gdansk, Poland and I thought the same. It's very cheap living there and "making it" should be much easier. It's not even that bad of a country
