I was thinking about the Towergirls threads on 8/loomis/ and I feel like those were always a good way to get more people drawing, so I decided to make a little something up in the spirit of those.

Rolling three so I'll be forced to draw quickly and not get stuck on details.

This will be a personal challenge for me. I will draw every day for 100 days straight and post my progress here. I have failed myself time and time again by losing motivation or getting distracted and I am sick of it. I've reorganized my schedule and devoted two hours each day to drawing. If I miss even a single day, I want you to bully me (all three of you) mercilessly. Nothing short of death will stop be from finishing this.
Here I go.

DAY 100
SUPREME VICTORY
Some days I drew a lot. Some days I drew barely anything. But I put pencil to paper for 100 days straight, regardless of where I was in the world or how blasted I got the night before. I'll still continue to post here for the time being, but only for stuff I'm actually putting effort into (i.e. no need to post warmup drawings every day). Thanks to the few of you that are still here and supported me through this, as there were a lot of days that really made it feel pointless.
And remember, you're gonna make it.

Now i am scared as you were an explicit lifeline around.
Congratulations, proved that you can draw a hundred days straight and that your word means something. When i get a pad or a scanner i will attempt something similar although with something small, i bought for pencils and things just because i thought about this thread.
>>1955
Congratulations man and looking forward to your future posts.

The most valuable and misunderstood tutorial is to copy good art. Good art is the result of most things being done right and very few things being done wrong, by copying it you're absorbing that information.

You just have to avoid doing it too much because it may become a habit to simply brainlessly copy without learning anything. First fill your brain with the right information by copying good art, then try to apply that knowledge by drawing on your own, then copy stuff again to refresh your mental model of how good art works, and keep going back and forth like that.

Kind of might go back on my word probably will continue figure drawing. No one really critiques my work really anyways I even critique my own work so it either happens or it doesn't. Water under the bridge with the drawpile thing it is what it is. Not really the big of an issue I am kind of over it now but at the time it happened it felt odd.

I finally got over my ass and started drawing after many months and years saying so, only problem:
I HAVE NO TABLET NOR SCANNER AND I MUST SHOW PRACTICE

Still i am only going to practice the things i need for work, that is simple perspectives and 2D facades using de-tensing line work (squibbly irregular lines) in hatch/cross-hatch/circling but i got a bit into the rabbit hole of jewtube drawing tutorials and was newly perplexed at how skilled some people are and how "easy" it looks.
I completely suck at anatomy so i will stick to objects until i get more time, which is fading due to having to learn some warez for upcoming work.
I feel like there's a problem with art and "ugly" art. I'm not sure if I'm imagining things, or projecting the resentment I have to asshole-anons who have mocked me in the past and put me down when I tried to ask for criticism. But even more, I look at youtube artists, and how fucking polarized they are on the subject of Ugly art. On top of this, you have the fucking politically-charged idiots who only have reference for ugly art is low-effort abstract garbage 

The Hater - "Your art is ugly, and sucks, you should be ashamed of yourself"
I have a lot of anger towards this mentality because these are the kinds of people that stifle the progress of artists who are trying to learn. These fuckheads encourage perfectionism, I've been trying for years to emotionally-deal with a stupid little incident that got me fucking wrecked because they thought that greentexting stupid shit would be funny when all I wanted was a fucking critique. I've bitched about that in this very thread and I want to move the fuck on but I feel so fucking afraid of being hate-bombed that I feel like it's not fucking worth doing anything at all, when I wanted to make people happy, and yet here I am getting mocked for showing something I wanted people to feel happy about.

The worst part is, haters are either very-narrow-minded artists who don't exit their comfort zone because it's inconvenient (Ex. Kooleen), clickbaiters looking for easy views and engagement, or asshole non-artists looking for a cheap fucking laugh, or lump bad artists in with the people below.

The Ivy-Leaguer - "You could've done it, but you didn't"
These fuckers are the reason there's a bunch of assholes going around, making edits of people's amateur-ish arts, and scaring budding artists away from making any fucking progress in art.

The fucking club of rich-kids with multi-millionaire-famlies, go to all these "prestigious" art schools where they paint with white on fucking white, make crude sculptures of men sucking themselves off, or just fucking paint splatters with no rhyme or reason. Not even going by their own feelings or what feels best, they fucking just slap some bullshit together, and spend the rest of the fucking time fucking jabberjawing about politics, or whatever made-up symbolism they cobbled-together in their head. Speaking, politicking and fucking "symbolism," is more-important to them than the entire fucking piece, and it's why I get so fucking mad, because the haters who put down ugly art think that every single fucking artist that doesn't make pretty art has the mentality of these retards.

I fucking hate these people, because these fuckheads from families who already had it made are acting like they're so fucking high-class when they make the laziest shit imaginable, and treat it like it's some gift from a god that doesn't exist. "You could've made it but you didn't" sums up their fucking mentality, to the art process, the emotional-process, and fucking everything about it. They either make unemotional, nonsense-abstract art, or it's shock art. They made something low-effort that 'anyone' could make, sold it for hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of dollars, and they rub it in our face that we didn't.

Fuck these people. They're the reason the haters exist and why learning-artists who make ugly art are targeted by haters.

I have the same problem as you regarding people who don't really care about critiquing and just want to put you down to feel better about themselves. Ignoring them is hard, especially since I can tell you think like me. It's about filtering between genuine critiques, unnecesary praise, and unwarranted insults. It can be hard to put down that knee-jerk feeling of "YOU'RE WRONG" whenever someone has some valid criticisms. What you need to do is just ignore the crabs in the bucket, find some people that will actually give you real critiques, and listen to them for advice on how you're progressing.
You're gonna make it.

Do you happen to know any books that are similar to McCloud's but it emphasizes on manga?
Replies: >>949
>>854
 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.

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.

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.  :)
