I am such a huge fan of his work and his character designs. They are just so creative and well thought of. His work literally inspired me to follow in his footsteps to become a character designer. Im just wondering would copying his work for study be enough to achieve his level? He is so good with the fundementals tho you can tell when copying his work he really understand anatomy and perspective so well, no to mention all the other stuff like color and rendering. Of course I will also draw from life but is there anything else? Here is some work of his I copied mind you not traced or used the eye drop.
Yeah looks good so far just learn his ratios and keep applying it and see how he simplifies stuff and you'll eventually get there.
Why are people obsessed with Persona all the sudden?

>He is so good with the fundementals
Why don't you get good with the fundementals as well, anon?

Is the game any good? Isn't it a VN?

I wouldn't learn from Soejima if only because he's so one note. He's great at simple character designs, but everything else falls flat. Seriously, what the fuck is this design?
Also
>Fundamentals
Look at anyone's neck. Or their nose. He's great at making cool looking characters but I wouldn't say he has a good grasp of the fundies

SPOILERS YOU FUCK
>>3035449
OH SHIT SORRY

>fundies meme
Okay.
>>3035458
Read the OP. He specifically mentions Soejima's grasp of the fundamentals.

That blonde girl is cute as all fuck, what her name?
>>3035462
Anne Takamaki.
>>3035465
Does she want the D all game?
>>3035467
She's an optional romance.
>>3035469
Whelp, I think it's time to draw some lewds of her now.
>>3035394
who the hell is bumping this shit thread
>LE HOW DO I DRAW LIKE X
GEE I DON'T KNOW FAGGOT, HOW ABOUT YOU LURK MORE OR ASK IN THE QUESTIONS THREAD
>>3035441
Simple character designs are hard to make memorable. Soejima does an amazing job at that, so I wouldn't write him off so easily.
>>3035394
Have you watch any of his drawing videos op?

Now I think what your doing is great. And I don't know where you are at in your art, but do not get stuck in a place where you are only practicing fundies and copying pictures. You will not improve, at least not fast anyway. The whole point of the fundamentals and copying pictures, is that you gain knowledge from your studies, and then apply them to more advance techniques and pictures. You keep challenging yourself over time, and you start to not only get better, but you start to retain those fundamentals. That is how people like Soejima can draw so well from imagination. So don't be afraid to start doing character designs, and making finished illustrations alongside your studies.
Much appreciated

I was gonna say, it was strange that he would draw such bad feet and hands, but then I saw
>Here is some work of his I copied
and now I'm relieved.

Look into his influences: Doraemon, Ghibli and his mentor Kazuma Kaneko (aka the main SMT demon designer).
