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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.  :)
