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.

**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.**

how do you stay productive? how do you never get tired of drawing? how do you stay focused? how do you keep going? how have you not killed yourself?
>inb4 go outside ,gym,running,etc
already do all that and i cant focus on art for more than 30 seconds
>inb4 draw something else or whatever you like
i really cant do anything art related,nothing at all, small steps dont help either
some other questions:
Do you have a second monitor? does it really help or ruin productivity?
Do you have an end goal besides just popularity/money/whatever
Do you take supplements/meds to stay mentally healthy/focused?
does anyone have the original poem I tried searching the last line to no avail.

-Feel free to contribute brushes you have purchased. Assets that have been deleted from the store are also welcome to be uploaded here.
-Please check for the CSP assets you want to request or buy here first before asking for it in the thread.
>CSP assets store wishlist.
https://rentry.org/Brush_Wishlist
>"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.

I just bought myself one of these bad boys, a 5000 paper stack for me to learn how to draw. I have downloaded every single course that I will ever need for a few years and in a few moments I will disconnect myself from the internet and cut the cable. I also got a drawing tablet for when I need to start using it. But for now, the paper will do. I have downloaded every single resource over at /asg/ and I will go through them. I don't need the internet anymore.
Thank you for providing books and helping with courses. I wish you only the best and nothing but the best.
I will keep checking the thread while I finish up unpacking everything. I will report back once I've finished using up all of this paper.
Me! Me!! Look at me!!!
A project can be anything including but not limited to:
>a manga/comic
>a short animated film
>piece(s) for an art exhibition
>video game assets

Questionnaire:
>What type of project are you working on?
>What inspired you to create this?
>How far are you into your project?
>Any previous projects?
>Any social media?
>Would you like to receive feedback/criticism?
Per usual, don't respond to bait and simply report/ignore anything that isn't conducive to drawing.

Do you have such hurdle and frustration when you just wanna learn art styles?
Bigger version: https://files.catbox.moe/o772dw.png
>I suddenly remember why I stopped in the first place
Drawing is stupidly hard, even with references, tracing, photobashing and using a shitpost style I still managed to fail. I just wanted to draw a meme with my #78967 generic anime waifu. How many hours does it have to take to draw something simple...
Should I just give up? Really love the hobby, but I have no one in my life willing to give me honest feedback, and I'm too stupid to automatically know what I need to do to get better. I enjoy drawing but I'm never going to improve, and even if I did it's a hobby and doesn't matter. I'm cooked here right?
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.

I have a strip roughly 100cm wide that I want to fill with artworks. Pic rel, although my phone has shitty camera so the quality is garbage. As you can see, I'm halfway done.
In all fairness it is a bit of a weird pose in of itself but damn I really screwed something up and I don't even know what.
Any of you can show me what I did wrong and how they would go about it?
Should I have separated my work spaces? But then I'd need 2 PCs.
>soles of the feet
>rendering hair
>backgrounds
Knowing how to draw these things has been widely devalued by AIslop. I'm so glad I never wasted my time learning
>oh damn
it's like it's not only a matter of one sleep to absorb new skills like they say but something bigger

I have the notes, I just can't seem to actually use that knowledge
>closes blinds
>puts door stopper under door
>pulls out sketchbook
>opens nightcore and white girl music on youtube
>adjusts headphones and picks up pencil
anyone else have a drawing ritual?
>And in Art, study can never stop. You will find sketches galore in the studio of the good man, with the paint quite fresh. The mediocre artist's sketches are old and dusty.
>I have seen so many middle-aged artists still hoping, whose samples are frayed at the edges, and thumb-marked with time. Sometimes it has been a matter of years since they sat down and actually did something to give their hopes any promise. They are plodding their lives away at something they hate, and doing nothing about it. These are the men who never seem to have had a chance. The truth is, they never seized a chance.

McDonald's Breakfast: ABSOLUTELY ONIONS
I know he had a manga that died after one issue, but at least there's reference to that online. I remember a specific music video he was part of that's fucking impossible to find, though.
It was about an orange foxgirl going about her day, then she gets raped by a werewolf. Some shit happens, then she finds out that the werewolf was actually a regular guy and falls in love with him.
I have such a strong memory of it, but I cannot find any reference online to it and I'm convinced there has to be more shit he's tried to get rid of.

>zoom in to draw details
>zoom back out
>the details dont fit in with the whole because you were zoomed in and couldnt see how it fits with the rest of the drawing
>drawing details without zooming in is a herculean task and takes forever
So what's the solution? Get a gigantic screened tabled so you dont have to zoom in? Double display?

I need to learn how to draw game assets like this. Please give me resources. w/ic/i didn't help. FYI I'm starting off at 0.
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'm going on a trip with my art boyfriend into the rocky mountains and were staying at a condo there for a month.
I have two options:
1. I bring my physical copies of Loomis, Hampton and Vilppu and study them all for a month
2. I draw my art boyfriend instead as well as the surrounding scenery
Which will net me more experience?

I have my basic fundies down (been drawing for a few years) and even have my own style that I'm happy with, but I can't help but feeling like I'm missing some kind of book or course that covers the very basics of cartooning.
Do you use toy figures to pose as reference?
Any figure recommendations?

question on my mind - we've established that bluesky is dead until further notice, or until Musk pisses everyone off again. But what about Threads? Anybody getting any mileage out of that?
I want to say I know what I should be doing for the job, but I’m not sure. Do I need to make up anything? Is it mostly like this?
>”we need a agent character”
>okay *searches up pictures of agents to copy and make something out of, nothing more straightforward than that*
If I’m wrong which I probably am, then I can actually learn the context of what the hell it is I’m supposed to do. I don’t know why but it just seems like I’m missing context that would help me understand what I need to do, whether I can do it or not. I just want to make it easier for practice and prepare for this job.
If you can provide any more info about where you do work if your a concept artist please tell me.
I find myself drawing 8-10 different versions of every single character/armor/item and let the developer choose a favourite. This takes as much time as drawing, coloring, and rendering a finished illustration, but I do it because I'm scared of disapproval. I used to present 1-2 and it almost always got approved, but the few times it didn't it destroyed my spirit.
How many versions of a character/item/outfit is reasonable to present to a client to choose from?
please do not enter my thread just to be an unhelpful crabby cunt ;) thank you so much!
WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN "FEEL THE FORMS"?
IS THIS A CRAB PSYOP?
DO YOU MEAN TO SHOW DEPTH IN 3-D SPACE? WHY THE FUCK DON'T YOU JUST SAY "DO A BETTER JOB CONVEYING DEPTH"? HOW THE FUCK DO I FEEL A PHOTOGRAPHIC REFERENCE YOU FUCKING RETARD?
Can art be learned like one would learn AutoCAD or architecture?
Can I draw like one would do math?
And why is everyone orgasming over a fisheye drawing? Isnt perspective the first thing taught in every single art course?
Mine is that I think that you should always begin a portrait drawing with a skull or it should be drawn at some point during the process, and I think any other method that doesn’t include the skull will end up anatomically inaccurate
