You're not able to draw better, you just don't have tight deadlines and you don't have to draw anything challenging outside your comfort zone.

A lot of people can draw better than him, but not a lot of people can tell/illustrate a story like him. Plus a lot of people like his art.

Being able to think along one track can be a real advantage, and manga is an excellent format.

Being a mangaka isn't that impressive considering they have an army of assistants inking and tracing backgrounds for them.

I read that bitch's tennis blog, I know what's up.

>>3004591
A mangaka usually has to pay for their assistants themselves, so only the top 1% would ever have the money to hire an army of assistants. Most barely are able to afford 1 or 2 to help them with screentones and backgrounds and stuff.

Who the fuck is this

The creator of Attack on Titan, Hajime Isayama

Book's dead

I hope /ic/ realizes one day that people care more about you being able to tell a story with your art rather than your technical skill (which you will probably never have because you post on /ic/ and for some reason 99% of the people here aren't good at all and have no idea how to draw something visually appealing)

>>3004666
this ffs. And yeah some of the mistakes people make here are fucking unfathomable to me.

You can tell a story without good art, but there's no reason not to improve your technical skill. Even Isayama made gains.

I think his "bad art" lends itself well to the horror aspect (whenever there is any)

I've noticed that male mangakas have to be able to draw good, or they face an uphill battle to getting published. Hence the attack on titan guy. It seems like female publishers and readers care way more about the story and characters, and are more lenient on the art. Of course this is just a generalization, but it's something I've noticed.

What's a mangaka?

>>3004805
I don't think that's true. It's largely more dependent on the type of magazine the managaka are affiliated with, monthly mags will have much higher quality content than those who work in weekly publications. Both men and women draw for shounen and seinen magazines, anyway.

And going off what an anon mentioned earlier, having a few assistants helps a lot.

Doesn't seem to be the case from what I've seen. Most female shounen mangaka I know of have art roughly on-par with that of their peers in their magazine. Hiromu Arakawa, Shinobu Ohtaka, Adachitoka, and Kasue Kato would be a few examples of that.

I was wondering the same. fucking lol, this is your reference OP ? that manga's art is awful. Just being popular doesn't mean his strength was his drawing. It's like saying you can write a more scientifically accurate story than one of the most famous director of the past decade with a screenshot of the avengers

Do any of you even realized how fast he improved from pilot chapter to actual series? 2 years going from deviantart tier to something presentable is impressive.
