TIME TO
I'd like to start drawing mechs and other vehicles of that sort of /m/ aesthetic. What sort of fundamentals do I need to get gud at to do it well? Are there any good books on mecha to check out?
>>2814297
Check out the sketchbooks of Yoh Yoshinari.
Mech proportions are not too difficult: Small head, big ass shoulders and big ass legs.
lots of perspective
>>2814297
step one: learn to draw
step two: draw mechs
Made a promise with myself to draw at least one thing each and every day since i got my new shiny graphics tablets.
Hope you dont mind me posting my stuff here for your hopefully helpful critique.
I will post in the same thread if i can each day but if it vanishes i shall start a new one.
Please note that i am a shit artist but i hope we can both get along...
Here have a lollipop...

>>2813903
Did you learn anything valuable doing this piece
>>2813904
A) That i need more practice with my graphics tablet.
B) How to use "Open Canvas" more effectively.
C) My hand shakes far too much, straight lines and circles are hard to do without vector line smoothing but im told such programs hold you back.
Tried my hand at some construction work.
Halfway through i messed up and used a smaller brush size for alot of the work making it look weird.
Not that it already dosen't look weird.
You can tell i got frustrated with it near the end and just colored it like a 5th grader.
Next i shall be doing some construction work with hands and feet as i have always hated drawing them.

Anyone here want to share this gem?
Anyone that shares Matt Kohr's scant few paywall videos he's made after he's been as generous as he has is a faggot and a half to be honest, family.

No one gives a shit
>>2814124
No one gives a shit about your sweaty desperate thread either you fat little retard. Go be poor somewhere else. No one is going to take time out of their day to give you the leg-up you don't deserve.
Just saw 'Lament of Icarus' in person and god is it shiny. It looks like it's radiating some kind of golden-rainbow aurora australis.
Man I'm jealous, I want to see it irl too..
are you in london? that museum is amazing, but the best piece is that black statue of a little girl with a harp, I stood there looking at it for 10 minutes
>>2813258

>me, just graduated looking for work
>Mom: Did you get that job at Sears??
>me: Yeah
>Mom: Great! When do you start??
>I'm not sure... But I also got 700 dollars this month for illustration jobs.
>Mom: Oh okay thats good.. so...I guess they like your drawings...?
>Yeeeaah...I guess....
>doge: just sitin there chillin
>WOW LOOK AT HOW CUTE THE DOG IS!
>o..ok im gonna go now..
anons, how do your parents feel about your art? Mine were never the discouraging kind, they just didn't really give a shit either.
Not gonna make it apparently.
>>2812962
I sometimes wish my parents were alive so I could find out answers to questions like that.
I have only been drawing for a month but I told my mom who comes from a family of artists and is one herself and she sent me a care package with old sketchbooks, pencils, charcoals, and other supplies she had lying around. She was so excited that I took up drawing that she called my grandma to gush.
I am in my late 20s and have multiple stem degrees. Love my momma too :^)
suddenly ses
this is nice ses
>>2812539
i really, really like this ses
masterpiece
Can you guys recommend some comics or manga that you really like? Also tell me why you like it, if you please.
Akira, no need to explain
Habibi, it's a Graphic Novel but just the overall look and design of the pages is really nice
Abara, from the author or Blame (which I also recommend). Gritty style and very cool creature and environment design
The Silent Hill comics
Sky Doll
Shaun Tan'S The Arrival, another Graphic Novel but completely without words and each panel is a piece of art in itself imo
From an artist point of view, anything by Daisuke Igarashi.
>>2812037
also speaking purely artistically, but the latest few chapters of d.gray-man have phenomenal art. hoshino really knows her fundamentals; anatomy, linework, perspective in figures, all of it.
Last thread: >>2806433
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!

Have any suggestions on helpful resource links? Leave a comment anytime ITT and I will look into it.
>>2810981
Well I don't think that's much to bitch about. Life is long. But it also depends on what we're qualifying as "great" practice. I've say "overtime" is a good measurement, that is, at least 56 hours a week (8 hours a day, 7 days a week). If that's not enough to see good gains every month of practice, I don't know what is.
Trying out a comic coloring workflow
I'm doing loomis, but wont all these balls and sticks reinforce symbol drawing?
So far he hasn't actually taught me to draw anything.
>>2810305
are these exercises from the gesture book?
>>2810307
Its from "fun with a pencil". I think it is how to draw a body.
>>2810305
>but wont all these balls and sticks reinforce symbol drawing?
I would suggest that you pretend the sticks are cylinders, balls as spheres, and squares as cubes; this will help you see form. Loomis is a little advanced.
Are there any artists that you have had personal interaction with that really got under your skin?
Like, after a conversation or two with them you realized you really wanted to make the bite the dust?
Many times. Plenty of egomaniacs, narcissists and borderline sociopaths in this business.
>>2809803
Whenever i go on ic discord
All the ones I didn't like were just dumb, dull or childish. Didn't really like art as a whole, hobbies included netflix, mobas and not much else, made inside jokes no one got and either had a shitty dickhead sense of humor or laughed at things only a five year old would.
I'm pretty good at recognizing narcissists and the genuinely broken and avoiding them, but one time I ended up in a circlejerk full of both and had to fake a religious conversion to bow out gracefully and not get fucked.
How do I apply perspective on anatomy ?
I learned perespective but I'm not able to use it on bodies
>>2808782
It's just a cathedral with titties. Learn to draw cathedrals in perspective and add titties.
>>2808782
Anatomy is basic shapes
Nigga why you gotta make me say this...LOOMIS
What can I do to improve this?
More chromatic aberration
I can barely see the effect
>>2814747
drop it, and begin working in a new idea
