No, they're not magnets or infohashes; they're just plain old URLs that have been encoded. We're doing this to keep bots and scripts from recognizing them as URLs and harvesting/reporting them. The recap posts at the top of the threads have GIFs or WEBMs explaining how to use them. Also, some of the encoded links *may* have multiple layers - like ogres ... or onions! You might have to "peel" them more than once to get to the good part.

**Strive for quantity AND quality.**
Anime Studying:
>Copy anime references exactly and draw them from memory. Use illustrations, screenshots, anime figures, 3D models, etc.
>Don’t copy recklessly. Use construction, color theory, and other fundamental concepts to rehearse a drawing process that you can later easily manipulate for original artwork.
>Post all of your anime studies. Post even when you’re told not to. Create an art community that actually draws and improves together instead of just talking about it.
>Number your attempts and link to your previous posts.
>Critiquers should lead by example by posting their studies.
General Anime Style Discussion:
>Questions about achieving certain styles/techniques/compositions etc.
>Drawing methods, study habits, resources, tutorials, tools, software, etc
>Be specific and try to post a sample of your study attempts before asking for help.
**Draw copies from good anime styled references to mindfully up our mileage, internalize appealing aesthetics, and learn from each other’s processes and knowledge.**

Support each other and talk about your work or the work of others that excites you. Inking, character design, paneling / layout, writing, planning, and other discussions are all welcome.
Post resources, questions, in-progress pages, breakdowns of other works, etc. If a work is not yours, credit the maker (unless it's fucking obvious like a full page of One Piece or something).
Thanks to everyone for making /mmg/ a level-headed and helpful place. Remember, drawing and making comics and manga are difficult endeavors, and we're all in this struggle together.

In anime the faces are simplified to quickly indicate what emotion the character is feeling, and the simple face is compensated by the dynamic poses, angels, accessories, clothing, dramatic lighting and such. Westoids do the completely opposite, they render monkey the face and ignore everything else

Feel free to contribute brushes you have purchased. Assets that have been deleted from the store are also welcome to be uploaded here.
>CSP assets store wishlist.
https://rentry.org/Brush_Wishlist
>"How do I request brushes?"
1.) Please check the CSP rentry and encoded external rentry first before requesting them in the thread.
2.) If they aren't there, then you should ask the thread.
3.) Post a link of the brushes you're requesting. It will make it faster for the anons interested in purchasing them for the thread.
>"What brush does this artist use?" / "What brush looks like this?"
1.) Search "brush (from:artisthandle)" or "assets.clip-studio.com (from:artisthandle)" on twitter if that's where they post mainly. Make sure to set it to the Latest tab to see the artist's tweets. Or use Nitter.
2.) Search brush posts on their Pixiv Fanboxes/Booth/Patreon. Then try to see if it's on kemono or archives.
3.) If none of the searches work, then ask here.
>"My CSP is cracked so I can't use the asset store"
As long as you log into the asset store it works even on cracked copies.
>"Are there other brush sets aside from the CSP ones?" / "Has this brush set been uploaded before?"
Check the archive. Chances are if it's popular some anon has uploaded it already.
>"What brush is in the OP picture?"
Brush in the OP pic is in the CSP assets rentry. (ID:1997792)

I already know you're on this site and you don't need extra confirmation that it's me.
As good as the academics were, their methodology has no cultural relevance or sway. Especially with Ai and advanced photography, it really is just a novelty for families and rich people.
Most of the good 'trad' people are just making still lives or compositions that are largely boring and uninspired. I don't get the sense of any gravitas or even a desire to push the medium in any one direction.
Where are the innovaters? Where are the men who want to affect culture?
Which artists, modern or contemporary, are actually going in their own direction and creating art in line with a novel politik or philosophy?

the Dunning-Kruger Effect:
Dunning-Kruger effect, in psychology, is a cognitive bias whereby people with limited knowledge or competence in a given intellectual or social domain greatly overestimate their own knowledge or competence in that domain relative to objective criteria or to the performance of their peers or of people in general.
Essentially, the Dunning Kruger effect explains why incompetent people are unable to see that they’re incompetent.

1. Don't post too revealing works (especially porn). If you think it's too lewd, post a censored copy here and link to Catbox (https://catbox.moe) or any off-site that hosts images for your works. You may also link back to /b/.
2. Keep it to 2D Anime/Cartoon characters only. Do not post chiId photo references (legal or otherwise), and do not talk about issues regarding real children.
3. It is recommended to let the thread reach page 8-9 before starting a new one.

I found the method is much much cheaper than doing an entire HD work from scratch and the result is not as terrible.
>Got art books
>Drawing tablet
>Got guides
>Can't understand or follow any of them
Even just the idea of using the motions of my shoulders for drawing instead of scribbling lines with my fingers, or just making any good lines like this in general, looks too difficult for me. I want to draw, but I don't know what to do.
I'll start
>Anime snouts
nurses are amazing to study because they can range from literal teen bodies to venus of fertility milfs.
So I decided to show you a little art lesson.
The diference between how the left side draws and how the right side draws.
Pinterest is filled with aislop
Hint: he’s from a game a kid made on scratch
If you're on a break after drawing and feel like sharing what's on your mind about what you're working on, the industry, things that excite you about art, or anything that frustrates you about drawing or the process of art then grab a cup of water and chill out here.
Remember to keep discussion on-topic as much as possible.
File -> most recent file you worked on.
Screenshot the canvas and post it here. Doesn't matter if it's finished or not.
>point out artists who draw from imagination
>NOO DOESN'T COUNT DOESN'T COUNT

I've been drawing digital slop for years, always using references to have a base pose in mind while drawing. Today, I decided to sketch quickly something completely from imagination, no images in sight. Is it any good?
I need an honest opinion and feedback, no troons no begs no faggotry. I just need help because I don't think I am good enough to start selling commissions in a serious non beg level.
I have four cats to feed prices continue to go up.
This is two months worth of study by coping (not tracing) Aleriia's work. I also printed some beg bane:
Creative Illustration
Drawning the Head & Hands
Fun with Pencil
Successful Drawning
Figure Drawning for all its worth
But it has only been 4 months with the books, I mostly skimmed haven't had the time to read and read again and practice by the books.
I never had the chance to sit down and study art (for real) so please any mentoring and guidance will help tremendously I feel like an eternal beg.

What fucking gives? I will pay you assholes to draw large woman as fast as you can deliver it. I thought you all wanted to make money, so why is it so hard to paypig for you retards? No, really. Every time I get a good artist I want to do repeat work with, they never last longer than the fifth or sixth commission before leaving me on read.

It was very rough in the beginning, unplanned, unconceived,a haphazard journey that my sleepy mind oozed onto each page,and only after 30 strips in was taken seriously. And I watched the story grow.
I will share this with you all.
***DISCLAIMER***
These are "storyboards",never meant as Product,but wound up on my website because I had nothing else to upload. I will "translate" the chicken scratch wriwhere neccessary, and toss a few tidbits of facts for consideration. So,any and all crabs who decide to deride the story will be simply stating their retardation by doing so.
With that said,enjoy.

I've got a couple of drawing books and a drawing tablet for my PC and barely touched them.
My shaky hands fuck up every drawing I make, and I can barely do lines without fucking them up. I can't use my shoulder, I only feel good using the motions of my fingers.

Do not worry pressure levels. 1024 is more than enough.
Remember to ignore all chinese shills. They often post paid twitter promos from random artists. It's all shilling, ignore it.
Recommended tablets:
>Screenless:
Used Intuos 3, 4, 5, Pro, One by Wacom
>Display:
Small (10-11"): Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite
Medium (12-16"): Samsung Galaxy Tab S8/S9 Ultra, used iPad Pro 12.9" Gen 1-5
Large (22"+): Cintiq 22, Cintiq Pro 27
Avoid:
>XP-Pen, Huion, Gaomon and every other Chinese brand making Wacom imitations
Poor build quality, pens with wavy lines, wobbly nibs, broken tilt, issues registering light pressure, terrible customer support, uncalibrated displays. All Chinese brands have the same problems. Check out the webm to understand how bad they are.
Do not be fooled by myths like "Chink companies are just as good as Wacom now" - they've been saying this for over 10 years, nothing has changed.
Chinese companies have also been proven to shill on 4chan. You will see dozens upon dozens of posts in this thread by a chinese schizo shill, who will either be bitching about the OP, gaslighting as a Wacom fan, making pointless spam posts or giving terrible advice (like recommending Huion). Just ignore and report him.
>New iPads
Massively overpriced and overhyped.
>Microsoft Surface Pro
More optimized for palm rejection than good quality drawing. Wobbly lines when drawing slow and straight.
>Cintiq 13-16"
Completely outclassed by the Galaxy Tab Ultra & iPad
>Cintiq Pro 16, 24, 32
Overpriced, QC issues, loud fans, proprietary mount interface
>Lenovo
Worse than Samsung in every way.

You have until June 7th, 11:59 PM GMT, to illustrate stories from the latest “/lit/ Writing Competition” >>>/lit/24362698.
Countdown timer:
https://countingdownto.com/?c=6292217
Replied below are all 10 stories, ordered by votes.
Rules:
• Image dimensions: 2550 pixels wide × 3300 pixels high.
• No AI.
• The image must be suitable for blue boards (e.g. /lit/).
• You must “submit” the image by posting it ITT as a .png or .jpg
After the submission deadline, two Strawpolls will be created, one called “Illustrations of Winning Stories,” and one called “Illustrations of All Stories.”
Only illustrations pertaining to the top third of the placing stories—the top 4 out of 10 (rounding up), marked with a ◊ below—are “Winning Stories.”
The /icic/ winner of “Illustrations of Winning Stories,” will grace the front cover of May’s compilaiton book;
The /icic/ winner of “Illustrations of All Stories” will grace the back cover.
Every submitted illustration will accompany its story of inspiration in this month’s edition of /lwc/+/icic/, just like last-last month:

>38.4 MB
>128 pages
(^ “/lwc/+/icic/ March 2025”)
And a big thank-you to all who participated in last-last month’s /icic/—it was a very special collaboration.
Now let’s see what May has in store~
1. Manmade objects, vehicles, tool, weapons etc. (of any kind and any historical era, as long as they fall in the ballpark of "technology") and fictional derivatives of such
2. Objects,vehicles, creatures etc. that aesthetically fall into the visual space of mecha/robot/artificial/cybernetics etc. regardless of level of realism.
Helpful to mention the level of realism, if any, you are taking into account in the art.
Both artists actually from the era, and throwback artists welcome
right now all I can give them is "always draw from reference" which is sad because most of the fun comes from drawing from imagination, but these people have no imagination, due to either some sort of genetic factor or some upbringing factor (mental illness, trauma).
what is there to give them beisdes "always draw from reference"?
As a thread opening question, let's talk about colored pencils: What are your favorites and do you prefer Oil or Wax based if you tried both? What are the best solvents to use for blending? Should you use solvents or are blending tortillions enough? Or just your fingers? Talk about it here.

i really wish i was black or asian, I always tried to AI generated me as a black or chinese, but ai sucks at making blacks, so I started to learn art
when i say black i dont mean african, not tryna live in a booty scratching hut, i dont mean carribean, even though carribean women are beautiful. I mean American black, i want the RnB rizz, the exaggerated hip hop swagger. Its almost like every black guy is Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.
If i am asian, i dont care as long as i am yellow and can draw good. Another thing is that asians and black people look good in literally ANY outfit. They can pull off shit that whites or indians like me cannot also asians dicks are bigger than white people will have you believe
(I am sorry for saying that)
Anyways, art! I wanted to make something that looked like it would be an album cover for some speedcore shit
plantanon/carpal tunnel anon, I'm bringing it back, here's a copy paste of the previous OP:
This is a thread for those who want to go through dynamic sketching as a group in an effort to improve drawing skills starting from the very fundamentals. Here we share the tedious grind, crit and encourage each others.
Please specify the week you're on and if it's dynamic sketching 1 or 2 when posting your work.
>What's Dynamic Sketching?
A class by Peter Han that focus on improving draftsmanship, construction and design. It is intended for beginners, but the second class can be useful even for /int/. It covers a wide variety of subjects, but not figure drawing.
>Where to get it?

\Course\Form and Construction\
>Peter Han says to get a lot of material, are they needed?
Your choice. Honestly, just draw. Use what you have. But if you want, you can get it. You can do it digitally, but try to refrain from using ctrl+z and other features. At the end of the day though, do what you want. As long as you put the work you're gonna see progress.
>I'm /int/ (as if, pyw faggot), should I bother?
If you want to expand your range of subjects, I recommend it. It also covers a lot of fundies that doesn't hurt to revisit. I suggest you start with DS2 though.
>SCHEDULE
>DS1
week 1: Lines and ellipses
week 2: Organic forms and textures
week 3: Perspective, basic of light
week 4: Form intersections
week 5: (Optional) Materials: markers, paint, pencils, etc.
week 6: Plants
week 7: Redesign
week 8: Preview of DS2: military vehicles
>DS2
week 1: Recap of DS1
week 2: Insects
week 3: Bones
week 4: Animals
week 5: Cars
week 6: Military vehicles
week 7: Planes
week 8: Reworking, Portfolio, New redesigns
*every week of DS2 include a redesign homework
Mess up a lot, get that mileage in, but most importantly pyw

Previous thread >>No.7445192
I notice a very strong dependence on digital tools. The best example of this is the threads about graphics tablets. Everyone talks about which tablet is better, when what truly matters is the artist's skills and talent.
And I just remind you that the best illustrations CAPCOM published were done traditionally. And even those that were edited digitally were all hand-drawn, because iPads and Cintiqs didn't exist in the 90s.
DO NOT REPLY to crabs, nodraws, talent debates or howies and instead focus on posted works!

Support each other and talk about your work or the work of others that excites you. Inking, character design, paneling / layout, writing, planning, and other discussions are all welcome.
Post resources, questions, in-progress pages, breakdowns of other works, etc. If a work is not yours, credit the maker (unless it's fucking obvious like a full page of One Piece or something).
Thanks to everyone for making /mmg/ a level-headed and helpful place. Remember, drawing and making comics and manga are difficult endeavors, and we're all in this struggle together.

I have an idea for a still life study (similar to pic related), but it would just be McDonald's meals with those human skulls you get for medical / anatomy classes. Throw in a sculpted clay dildo fetish item that looks crudely tribal, and I would title it "Ivory Trade"
Is this normal learning process?
What should I focus on improving? I feel like I'll never get good enough to think on inking or colouring any drawing I'll do
The issue now is: IT IS NOT ENOUGH, i need to draw MORE, i need to draw EVERYDAY, and what's more important, i have to be happy with the result, otherwise i will lose motivation.
But just how do i start to make something good? How do i get ideas to draw things? i dont know how to ideate on purpouse, only sudden and rapidly when i least expect it
The catch is that your mentee is working a full time job and only has 3 hours to devote to this after work, and he's already tired, so you better pick the literal most efficient exercise regimen for them.
In this thread, I want to try and lay out the fundamentals of my new science fiction book, Lobe. This book features 28 original paintings that give glimpses into the chapters. The book covers topics of shared conciousness, spirituality, and a broken world recovering 182 standard years after Doom Day. Our story follows three perspectives switching between the chapters, which allows us a look into the type of world we find ourself in. Whether it be the advanced laboratories at Muramasa Station or the floating cities of the A.C.C., the world is dark and changing.
Feel free to ask any questions. I will be here if you need M.E..

Previous Thread: >>7520002
I'm working on this VN project and I just realized I've been more focused on characters than on backgrounds. I need a day/night variation for some rooms.
Here's my attempt so far, something is throwing me off and I'm not sure what.
I'm going for the anime/ summertime saga look, so no lines.
Help
Also me and my friend built an online art book/video course storage to share and after having it for 4 years and only sharing between us, it was taken down. Luckily I had everything saved and we rebuilt it somewhere else but it's starting to get scary because even when stuff is kept in private, it's still being shut down.
Basically publishers are really starting to crack down on pirated materials (remember Hachette v. Internet Archive?). So start keeping pdfs, video courses, etc. stored offline. Most popular resources should be fine but rarer stuff may become inaccessible digitally if not preserved.
I just wanna draw sonic stuff

Here is the real question, pardon my reddit spacing, what if there are actual whores amongst us in this board, vapid whores that like art and are drawing and doing art as some kind of therapy? I don't know where this vision come from, but it just did. Anon, what do you think? And do you think art therapy actually works?
