You might remember the thread I had on the old board. This thread is dedicated to studying comics, graphic stories, manga, etc. to learn the techniques and methods thereof.

Do you happen to know any books that are similar to McCloud's but it emphasizes on manga?

 I wouldn't call it similar to McCloud in a technical sense, but I would consider Araki's book "Manga in Theory and Practice" obligatory reading, and it digs deep into the elements needed for comics.
I think as far as the technical aspect is concerned, there's not a whole lot. This book is very dated, but it goes over a lot of technical basics. The problem I have with these books is that there are some things and techniques that aren't touched upon (like the Nodo zone, Mekuri and Hiki)
https://archive.org/details/HDMVol.30PenToneTechniques/mode/2up
I would not really recommend the older how to draw series books, they're extremely dated and mostly focus on trying to teach you to draw (badly) and you should already have basic grasps of how to draw or you will struggle.

If you're not sure about composing pages, you will not likely find much information about that beyond basic overviews of how to do sequential art (like is discussed in McCloud's book) Read manga and take notes from artists you enjoy. Most everyone has different styles of page composition. Learning how to do this is a lot of practice.

Thread for sharing references of all kinds. Models, clothing, body parts, landscapes, animals, plants, spaceships, cars, boats, and everything in-between.
To start off I have a large collection of models from Croquis Cafe. Zip password is DontStopPracticing.
https://www.mediafire.com/file/q4ywebl614883x5/Croquis_Cafe_Models.zip/file
Also including a large collection of various other references. Most of these came from various stickies and other shares, but I am uploading them again for redundancy.

If you have something you want to share or preserve, share it here.

Questions that don't deserve their own thread - Sketches Edition.

Do you usually refine the figure (face, accessories, hair, drapes) when sketching or its easier to just putting a landmark then refine it later in lineart?

I don't know. I have the sense he was here at least a few months ago. I'm not much more than a lurker & concerned friend & board-enjoyer. But I do let our guys know to come to /loomis/ for arts information. There's the rub: /loomis/ is packed with tons of good information. It would be wrong IMO if all that disappeared along with anon.cafe in a month & a half.

Thanks! Oh, I see you're right, Anon. Looks like the question engendered a technical discussion there that effectively sidestepped the basic issue: can we migrate /loomis/ automatically here?

The answer is yes. The Trashmin has a migration pipeline already in place.

@BO
If you're here, can you please say so with a BO capcode? The rest of us want to know that /loomis/ will be safe.
Please don't wait long.

Sorry, I should've mentioned it here as well. My initial understanding was that the migration would have to be done by us somehow, when in reality admin does it all for you.
Yes, I plan to put in a formal migration request soon(tm), I've just been very busy lately. Even though this board may be dead, migrating it to a different site may give it a boost, and either way it's still an important archive for the few artists and aspiring artists that want to learn.

Excellent! I expect it will be seen with favor by the Trashmin. /loomis/ has always been a pretty chill, drama-free board and that's what everyone on trash wants there. I'd suggest you put a request in soon, BO. He himself is getting adjusted to having a bigger workload on his plate there, and as you mentioned, anons can be very busy! 
> pic-related

This board is an invaluable resource to the Internets IMO. I believe in it enough that I would have claimed it myself just to preserve it on trashchan if you had gone missing! That's not true of many boards, so thanks for maintaining such a good one for everyone here, Anon! Cheers.  :)

Hey guys, /icup/ here with a question on how we're going to handle the next iteration of the Infinity Cup ( https://anon.cafe/icup/ )
We're trying to poll whether certain boards are interested in playing in the cup, or if there's some specific team that you'd like to see play. If you want to, please answer or add your own answer to the poll in https://poal.me/6x3j1u

What is a good animation software that is similar to Microsoft Paint? I'm so used to drawing in MS Paint and none of any other pixel animation software I've found has features MS Paint has, like right-clicking in the middle of drawing to cancel that stroke being drawn.

I think the link is stickied the whole time and also part of the canvas.
If you're interested just join, get the url, and check it out.

But using the Drawpile as a filtering mechanism might change though.

I'm too brainlet for coding and really bad at discrete math.
I wish I could actually do codings so I could make my own game using my own drawings. No, I don't want to do VN. I want actual game like Legend of Zelda 2 but with elaborated route and stories.
