it's not really an exact science or anything, just an abstraction of the overall flow of the figure. The more the limbs form a consecutive line with the spine, the stronger the line of action. It always goes from the spine towards the limb that lines up with the flow of the spine the most. In a grounded figure, that's usually the weight bearing leg.

Are those hair dryers?

>drawing nothing but anime all the time
>implying

>>2692195
I feel I'm holding myself back by NOT drawing anime, but I don't do it cause of that onage /ic/ meme image with the anime girls on one side and a renaissance masterpiece on the other.

>>2692195
I realized this today and made a vow to stop and go back to square 1. But it's hard to not want to draw anime and every time I break my vow I waste weeks sometimes a month drawing anime trash when I should be plowing the fundies.

I kind of use these shapes as sketch references. As for extreme realism, well...

>>2698926
They all sound like hentai themes

>>2698926

>>2698926
Sounds like something that can combine well with Inktober.

Thanks Anon. Any tips to improve?

what gender is this person.

And people who's primary subject is fan shit are degenerate.
The point of art is to get your own, or a clients ideas illustrated or conceptualized, they're as bad as members of the tumblr homogen or hyper generic 3d model render slaves.

Essentially anyone who falls into the broad umbrella of drawing ideas that aren't original to them or clients and isn't in some major way distinctive is a waste of ink and a tablet.

>>2699793
As I was watching the video I could the estrogen flowing through my veins, turning me into a whiny millennial transbian, so I had to shut it off.

Anyways, original ideas don't exist.

Ideas breed and multiply and fight with each other.

All art is fanart.

It's just that some degenerate it further until it can be legally called an original IP.

Every character out there can be traced back to previous characters.

fanart is specifically art created of a popular franchise for purposes of upvotes

you are dilluting the meaning

strong, independent, and proud if you are a women.

I ate a bag of oreo wafers and puked them up on these two pieces of paper and I sprinkled some glitter on it. They have been drying in my garage for 2 years

You already kinda touched on what makes a good design. Recognizable silhouette, good colour scheme etc.

The thing about a lot of these designs is that the clothes don't really matter, so lon as the stance of the characters stay consistent with their personality. There are a lot of archtypes and tropes that character designers fall back on imho (which is not a bad thing). With Luffy, I don't even really notice the clothes, just how he presents himself in them. It reminds me of Goku. Same with the colour scheme; mostly warm/neutrals and some gold.

I don't even watch One Piece and I can already kind of tell what kind of character Luffy is without any added explination, which I think is the hallmark of a really good design.

I see.

But what about in the context of a story? I notice that in manga, even though characters can go through a lot of variations on their costumes, there is still a degree of consistency in their design. Typically, radical changes in design is reserved for radical progressions within the story, not just a jump from one arc to the next (which is what the costume change tends to be for).

So, what exactly is pushing it too far? What would you say are the parameters for a character to stay within in terms of consistency?

For example, I see that a lot of manga characters more or less always keep their hairstyle, and any variations tend to be very minimal. The only ones that come to mind to break this rule are Nami and Bulma. Bulma in particular had a lot of radical changes in design, from arc to arc, but I also feel that she could get away with that BECAUSE she wasn't the main character.

Thoughts?

>So, what exactly is pushing it too far?
depends on the world you build, if you are gonna make a world where drastic changes are common things your consumers won't be throw off by big changes in the character they attacked to

>>2681792
reminds me of that one hentai game that was animated in the same way

Looks like they might use Live 2D or whatever that software is to animate drawings and illustrations

Doesn't help me draw shit like this

>>2698896
just copy the reference? there's also a eye in side profile in the top left box, it should help you, just copy everything you see in the drawing. and study other sources or references.

I find it hard to draw while not listening to music
It makes me more anxious than I already am... unless it's in a class or somewhere I need to hear something
When I'm trying something hard or when I have to be creative I put on something I already know, so I don't feel like I have to pay attention to the music
But if it's your average daily study I usually listen to stuff to help me relax... or maybe not relax, but, yeah, to drown out the voices
Here's what I've been listening to this month

Lately I've been listening to Blackmill and
other laid back electronic music. I find it
non distracting, yet interesting.

There are at least two other threads about this. Here's something:
