One-Stop Beginners' Guide
The w/ic/i
And don't forget to HEED THE RULES
Imagine the war within. While they were making these films.
e.g. - i have sanded down a sheet of plastic to use as a cheap replacement for my worn-smooth wacom overlay sheet. its the kind you buy at any hobby store for like $5. works pretty well, though its starting to become worn smooth itself after like a year of use.
No, I don't think it's real art in a practical sense
Yes, I think someone making a Ghibli-themed version of their selfie or their dog is fine
Coomer artists are just mad they can't capitalize on some rich weirdo's fetishes anymore
This is a novelty for the layperson and nothing more. Anyone else in the art scene understands that AI slop isn't real art and will continue supporting real artists. The people who like this stuff don't like it because they want to look at something painstakingly handcrafted with skill and labor. They like it because it's just neat, and they never would have supported the online art community anyway. Zoomer dudebros and Facebook moms don't care about furry OC's
Regardless of what you think, the genie is out of the bottle.
You can still keep drawing. $100,000 digital cameras and editing software make my Canon A1 obsolete but I still like taking pictures with it.
>New here? Please read best practices.
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 6-7 before starting a new one.

also don't you feel so insecure about your drawing despite being a total beginner and then comparing yourself to other people who've been drawing way longer but that doesn't mean anything because they're so good now and probably never drew as bad as you are drawing today. they're probably laughing at you and how bad you are and that is why nobody should draw. sometimes drawing is hard so give up. don't do it. I'm telling you. also nobody cares about your anime your trad your art you are bad and you should feel bad always. fuck you

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:1778102)

At the beginning of April, a book is going to be made of all the entries—it's going to to look something like this:
https://files.catbox.moe/847oya.pdf
>161 pages
Us authors (yes, I'm an emissary from /lit/) have been discussing the prospect of including illustrations in the book for this month's (March's) stories.
There's a writing contest on /lit/, why not match it with an illustration contest on /ic/?
Here's how to participate:
1. Read one of the top-six stories from March:
(btw I am not one of these authors)
>'Frankenstein; or, The Modern Pygmalion' by meteor
https://rentry.co/y5289rey
Or
>'M22' by Heng
https://rentry.co/M22_Heng
Or
>'Chicago' by Meadowlisp
https://rentry.co/chicago_meadowlisp
Or
>Cotton Candy Grapes™' by edisonm
https://rentry.co/FrozenCottonCandyGrapes
Or
>'The Visitor' by Watson
https://rentry.co/the_visitor
Or
>'Wotan' by Pancakesyrup
https://rentry.co/9of5iwny
2. Make a piece of art inspired from what you read!
(No resolution requirement, but dimension-ratio should be 4:5, portrait).
3. Post your art in this thread using a trip
>In the name field, write "MyName" + "#" + "8CharacterPassword"
And also mention somewhere which story your illustration is for.
4. You have until April 1st to "submit," i.e. post your art in this thread --> At that point a Strawpoll will be created, which will be up until 11:59 PM GMT April 5th.
The winning illustration will be elected through the votes on Strawpoll, and will grace the cover of the book containing March's stories (as well as granting its artist bragging rights as the first-ever /ic/-Illustration-Contest winner).
[CONT'D BELOW]
post your silly doodles that come from your most surface thoughts because we know that head is empty rn and needs some inspiration
(you may also use this as a refuge from the howie threads)

I'm trying to wrap my head around using this for warm ups but my circles are shit have been for ages regardless of how many circles I crank out. I can actually just draw a face in the time it takes me to accurately line up all this shit so I've never bothered with it and just been going in raw, but I feel it could help long term to internalize it, quite the bind. Thoughts? Pic related. Top one was yesterday bottom one today. Feels bad.

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.

Oh nice, a site to quickly find a bunch of head references from a variety of angles!
>something like 95% of the 3/4 view heads are cropped and cut off the back quarter to half of the head
How do you fuck up this badly?
First things out of the way
-AI inbetweens used multiple times
-caught this ogre selling ai slop
Don't argue.
Now unto the thing itself.
-They complain about long working hours, burnout and all the usual stuff
-They complain about publishers not enabling them to make a living when these can only pay out by what they sell, meaning they aren't selling a lot.
European comics have been struggling for decades that they print at the bare minimum and you might not be wrong to say they've died out, yet these "Mangakas" think they can make a living in an oversaturated global market, in their own country where comic and reading culture has been completely eradicated by the internet and where the majority of the demand is for imported Made in Japan shonen.
There is no demand for other stuff because everyone doesn't read anything and they "like anime".
I can't tell you the names of any current European comics, except very old ones like Dylan Dog, Diabolik and Tex, because there is no real culture or presence of it unlike 20+ years ago because you would see those either being advertised or displayed at kiosks and newspaper stands, or in the case of the examples; because someone else read them.
Basically, there is no exposure at the social level, unlike Japan where they are more or less surrounded by Manga everywhere they look that there is a huge demand, support, advertisement, options and a system to get your work out there
In Europe? The same old boomers, weebs and no one advertising outside the niche.
What's the non-jap exposure to manga/anime? After school cartoons on TV and maybe they watch all the shonen stuff on Crunchyroll and Netflix of course Hentai, too.
My point is; If you want to pursue Manga outside of Japan, at least be as good as the Japs, learn to read and write and use European mythology/culture and stop doing/consuming nothing but shonenslop.
So just enough time to watch an episode of anime?
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.

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.

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.

>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.

Will he finally learn anime now that the 100 heads challenge is done?
Now he wants to get away from doing one-to-one copies and instead focus on taking a real life reference and drawing it in an anime style or a semi-realistic style, because in anime proportions can differ from style to style and so it's hard to get a consistent feel for how things should look. He thinks he could better do that by finding his own way and style.
Discuss his approach to anime? Should we all follow it?

Enjoy!
god knows i need a pair of fresh eyes for it.
1st is clarity. due to an excess of details of my artstyle im worried that characters arent very clear. so do you understand where everyone is?
2nd is consistency. do you recognize characters in between the frames? is there any confusion of who is who?
3rd is actions. I have a lot of experience of drawing on drawing still images but i have very little were things actually moving. do you understand what each character is doing?
this is 1st page, i planned it as an establishing one to set the scene.

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.

This is a legitimately difficult to hole to crawl out of. I don't know what I'm doing wrong and nobody will even give me the slightest hint.

It will make you feel untalented some days.
Love it anyway.
Because one day, it will also surprise you, fulfill you, and remind you why you started.

:D
So I decided to show you a little art lesson.
The diference between how the left side draws and how the right side draws.
I found the method is much much cheaper than doing an entire HD work from scratch and the result is not as terrible.
You can draw perfectly fine from the wrist
I am referencing a book about islamic geometry and a book with japanese sashiko embroidery designs. Ive noticed that even though the two cultures are different, the geometry they use is kind of similar sometimes. Thats badass.
Once i get this part how i want, im going to trace the final geometry onto a piece of clear plastic wrap with a sharpie, then reinforce the plastic with a lamination of clear packing tape. You gotta be careful not to fuck it up and wrinkle the plastic tracing as you reinforce it, otherwise youll want to die.
I dont like to use too think of plastic. Not really saran wrap, you dont want a plastic with too much stretch.
Cellophane sleeves works, but it's really thin. recycle, motherfuckers.
I center the sharpie plastic wrap tracing over my painting on canvas, line it up where i want it, then i tape it in place.
Then i use white or graphite transfer paper beneath it, and trace the geometry on the plastic with a dull thick needle or empty pen.
I then touch up the transfer with a white water soluble/pencil. Sometimes i freehand stuff with the water pencil, so im not rawdogging the next step of the painting entirely.
i try not to use too much graphite pencil on my base layer bc itll muddy the next layer of paint.
Sometimes ill trace the transfer with a thintip paint pen if it's that kind of painting. But you gotta be careful bc you dont wanna press too hard and flood out your base painting.
It would be easier if i were cool enough to paint all this on paper, and trace it using a lightbox .
But this is going on an acrylic painting and i hate myself so i enjoy making things stupidly difficult and needlessly complicated.
That is my process, i enjoy it and wanted to share the process and some of the more miscellaneous tools i use. Youre welcome and Fuck you <3
OH NO NO NO NO
Picrel for example, Araki drew the character a few times, and the rest was done by an assistant. If I wanna draw my comic at a steady rate, can I get away with drawing undetailed backgrounds, and focusing on the characters? Backgrounds take a stupid amount of time compared to other stuff
>what is roblox spray paint?

Pic related, drew in Roblox. Not a perfect piece, Im not an artist. Give it a try its fun
Give advices on how to draw good trees as well...
Aside from daily box drawing exercises what should I be doing?
>scans into computer (respect and honor lost)
>inks digitality with automatic tools (dishonorable)
>photoshops his work with effects (this is not a joke his art is literally photoshoped)
All this time I thought he drew his art by hand. He has a TEAM to help him. Uses auto brushes, Traces. Sketch up. LITERALY PHOTOSHOPS HIS ART. GET OUT OF MY FACE. ZERO RESPECT. MANGA CON ARTISTS ARE OVER. How can you even begin to justify this as art?
don't disappoint them

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.

Says that alot of famous directors and artists would redo their pieces over months and months, but my thoughts were that I should take what I've learnt from this project (which I'm already a bit bored by), and use them in my next short comic.
So the point is, should we just leave things as they are, or try for perfection?
