>>69751>I want to start getting into anime drawingWhat type of anime style are you trying to learn anon? I remember a while ago that the 90's artstyle was becoming popular again, I haven't watched anime in a while, so idk what styles are popular now.
>>69754>Perspective, color, line art, anatomy, getting rid of symbol drawing, etc>By the time you're solid on that, developing a cartoony artstyle isn't very difficult. Kek, learning all of that would take years, and it would be totally unnecessary (to start drawing anime). Although I agree that fundamentals (specially in the long run) are very important. But it's better for beginners to first familiarize themselves with the materials, to draw from references and to experiment with different methods and techniques.
>>69758Good try anon, although I think that the anime eyes should be a little bit closer to the middle of the face. Either way, Keep grinding and good luck in your art journey!
>>69763>How many hours do you typically draw in a day, wizards?Around 30mins. I want to draw more but I've been quite busy recently.
>Do you draw every day?I haven't draw in like three days lol, My skills probably imploded by now.

>>69755You're not even talking from experience, just from something you think is true. Can't even give the other guy advice either, very helpful.
>I want to learn X>you learn X by practicing X>no that's not true because I say soI struggle to understand what motivated you to post this.
>>69764>learning all of that would take yearsIt really wouldn't. The average art course in uni would have you know the basics of all of that in like the first semester. Also you may be under the misaprehension that you're not drawing while practicing all of that. This isn't a zero sum game where you can only either study art academically before you can draw what you like. You draw what you like while learning. Either way, it took you 5 hours to scribble a doodle. I don't think your perspective on how long things do or should take is relevant.

>>69761Yeah anime style would be my goal, Ill try to make it fun and not just a grind because the last few days I have been just practicing and not really drawing.
>>69764Im not that wiz, I want to learn a early-mid 2000s style, I havent watched modern anime in a long time and I dislike the hyper-moe corporate styles a lot, its soulless.
Ill try to draw a head and then post it if its not too embarrassing.

>>69773Don't be embarassed, nobody can truly know how to give you advice unless we know what you're capable of right now and what your exact goals are.
>early-mid 2000s styleThat's actually pretty cool. I'm assuming you're going for something like Kanon or Rozen Maiden since that was the most notable artstyle at the time.

>>69772>art course in uniStudying art in an university just to draw anime sound like an waste of time and money imo.
>you may be under the misaprehension that you're not drawing while practicing all of thatI'm not, I do think that practicing fundamentals is essential to create a strong foundation, but fixating is also problem, I've seen countless cases of people greeting stuck on construction for years without making any significant progress.
>it took you 5 hours to scribble a doodle. I don't think your perspective on how long things do or should take is relevant.Drawing slowly doesn't invalidate my opinions lol, Do you have any actual criticism or are you gonna continue being a crab?
Also I noticed a mistake in my previous message.

>>69751 mention apparently leads to stagnation, Drawabox waste your time by turning a 2 month course to a 2 year course.
The list goes on. Don't get too hung up on trying to find the perfect guide, rather just find what seems good and stick with it. People will always argue why other's study plan is shit, while how their own is the best.
They might bring up good points but it's not worth spending weeks looking for the ultimate best guide. Maybe spend a few hours browsing the guides and pick one that you think suits you the best.
For anime, learning observational drawing, basic construction and perspective would be a good place to start.

>>68877I'm happy to say that for the 1st time in many years… I've been drawing consistently! I wish I could draw every day, but work drains most of my energy. On the weekends though? I'm drawing way more than I've done these past few years, I got my hobby back. I'm glad I bought a cheap tablet and a stylus, the convenience makes it easier for a tired depressed me.
I do miss the feel and sound of the paper being "scratched" though, but a matte screen protector helps with that.

However it shouldn't have taken 9 years to reach that level.

>>69836Hey! You have improved a lot, the perspective and anatomy are impresive. Good job! Also are those characters from an anime or OC's? They look badass.
>>69794>I've been drawing consistently! That's great, keep the grind and you will soon start to get good results. Before september I used to draw ~1 hour per day, but unfortunately I lost the habit of drawing. Gonna try to recover it this october by doing a inktober challenge.

>>70096I heard that is a good thing to work on two drawings because your eyes can perceive your mistakes better. It is a solid advice.
However, I have another issue. I can't fucking finish any drawing I do. Even if I spent dozens of hours. It doesn't have a 'finished' feeling. I learned anatomy and other basics decently. But I can't into colors and rendering. Whenever I try I overcomplicate shit and it all falls apart because to do what I attempt to do I need much more knowledge and experience. A satisfying, complete art piece is beyond my abilities.
Colors in particular are my personal art hell. I used to draw like a crack addict. It wasn't much - I just casually drew from 3d models of my favorite game characters as references, but it was a constant thing. And yet after a while I realized that stepping beyond just lines, hatching or simple shading into color is like chewing razors for me and I began taking long-ass breaks. I decided to crawl back to drawing and the same thing happens once more.
Sketch - Lines - SHIT. It feels like an impassable blockage at this point. And yet I can't quit. I tried many times full blown quitting art, it doesn't work, I come back after a month just to be assblasted.
