So, have you once tried to draw your own medieval art style? How exactly it is done? What are the main characteristics, apart of course of the ovalated eyes. Any tips?
>>2694167
Make it as two dimensional as possible. No perspective.
>>2694167
there are lots of different styles within medieval art, since it's an era that spans 1000 years and a vast area.
>Art historians attempt to classify medieval art into major periods and styles, often with some difficulty. A generally accepted scheme includes the later phases of Early Christian art, Migration Period art, Byzantine art, Insular art, Pre-Romanesque, Romanesque art, and Gothic art, as well as many other periods within these central styles. In addition each region, mostly during the period in the process of becoming nations or cultures, had its own distinct artistic style, such as Anglo-Saxon art or Norse art.

Is animation the fastest way to study all the fundamentals? Think about it. Unless you're near-perfect, you're going to create something that looks weird or that doesnt work well. Is grinding animation a smart decision if one wants to master form, anatomy and perspective?
You cant do complicated renderings or anatomy in animation.
Just study art like a normal person and git gud OP

>You cant do complicated renderings or anatomy in animation.
Yes you can, why the fuck couldn't you?
>>2693319

Usually that's not the case.

To be able to draw manga/comics at this level, just how would you learn to be able to draw anything and everything in different poses/angles?
>>2694491
You draw a lot.
>>2694491
lots of practice.
Also he utilizes CG models sometimes for reference.

Did these 2 today. Trying to rely less on outlines, and is one of my first tries with proper charcoal.

How do I bring my painting skills up to a industry-standard level?
My drawing skills are FAR better than my painting skills, and I feel the reasoning behind that is because I've put in so much mileage into drawing than painting. SO, how do I approach buffing my painting skills? Let's say I have a DECENT amount of knowledge in traditional and digital painting...I know how to render form in value, I know how to turn edges
but when it comes to temperature control, color saturation, basically anything color, everything that I know and love falls apart.
What are the steps I should take in the painting realm? Perhaps master color and value studies, but I feel that only takes me so far.
Pick up some gouache and try it, you're not forbidden from undersketching so your drawing skills will help you that much, but you should know that just doing it is the first step
This book covers what you're asking for in detail and then some. I don't know if there's a version you can download, but it's not all that expensive to buy either.
>just doing it is the first step
You're ultimately right
I guess drawing got to such a high level because of how easy it was to actively draw. When I paint, I gotta get all my paints together, get my palette set up, get my canvas set up, etc. and in that time I could have drawn some other things.
idk, maybe just getting a small portable gouache set that I carry around is enough.
