Why not answer the question first? It's my work.

>>3123748
Just start a value study of a photo and work your way up to playing with colors. What's your blog?

You should always start with "cell shading" regardless. Even realist fine artists start like that, at least when they work with a directional light source. Once you have the shadow shapes blocked in, it's just a matter of softening the form shadows, adding midtones and highlights and darkest darks. Many anime artists choose not to use the full value range though because it often ends up in uncanny valley.

um, No.

>Is it better to start with cell shading
Only start with cell shading if you're going to be a cell shading artist. If you want to be a painting artist then obviously go straight for painting. You'll start off bad no matter which one you choose since you'll be a beginner. But the one you practice is the one you'll get better at and accustomed to.

>how do I get into painting?
assuming you already have a tablet and know which program you'll use, just look up tutorials on basic 101 shit like how to blend, start learning about light and values etc.

Um, Yes.
What does "go straight for painting" even mean? Painting is a fairly structural approach and it happens to start with blocking in the shadow shapes. So as I explained, cell shading and the first step of a realistic drawing or painting is pretty much the same thing in concept.

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. I meant cell shading with colors like how they it in animation vs values

???

I don't think you know what the difference between cell shading and painting is, so let me show you. These are examples of cell shaded and painted anime. You don't need to start off with the left just to reach the right. You just go straight to emulating the look of the right.

is this bait?

there is no difference between drawing and painting

btw you dont know how to draw if that is your work

Stop dragging down people who don't deserve it, faggot.
He didn't even claim he could draw, he just said it's "okay", which it is.

>step one
Take pencil out of their hand.
>step two
Put a brush into their hand.
>step three
Follow exactly the same process.

There's very little difference.
Cel shading is just a shortcut derived from painting, the two aren't mutually exclusive.
