FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
>>7943119Post your body
>>7943119That might work if you're still in your early 20s but let me tell you you WILL regret not exercising.
>>7942725You think why health of Japanese mangakas so often goes to shit?
>>7942699they don't have jobs and/or they're young college/high school students >>7943119>t. 21 year old
>>7943642And japs walk to get to places. And their health still goes to shit assuming they're not a full time neet
>The text tool has been fully overhauled for 5.3! The main attraction is of course that text can now be edited directly on canvas, with full support for the usual keyboard and mouse interactions, as well as IME support. Is it over for non-kriters?
>>7941847>>7941841>baitIt was about time Krita actually fixed this, there's this thing in linux where they don't want to admit the faults of a program so they say>"Doesn't bother me">"This WHOLE program is free have some gratitude"And that retarded attitude irks me to no end. The user experience is THE most important thing, that's why Apple is so popular despite things as simple as the keyboard not working correctly in the 2020s. I know most of us can do a little troubleshooting to get things the way we like it, but things working out of the box is SO much easier especially for people new to your product. Bunch of fucking Tech
>>7941839I dont get why people want text in a drawing program
>>7942032probably comics people
Cool
>>7941862Gonna be the first one. Doing lineart in krita feels like ass compared to other apps, even with the updated stabilization options, it still doesn't feel right. Other than that, I actually like the app
Is there seriously no way to directly learn to draw and skip past the "churn out 1,000 terrible drawings" stage?
>>7943435I think that the biggest problem is that you don't know how good will you actually end up to be, because this is mostly talent
>>7943739...uuuh...thats the point...it's the same process for programming as wellhaving ai write the code for you is like having the ai draw for youyou still need to learn art theory but you don't need to draw anymorethat menial task gets outsourcedjust like how it's easier to read/listen to a foreign language than it is to speak/write one
>>7943435Yes
>>7943452This is the mind of a slopper
>>7943773>he says you actually need to know art theory>but he doesn't actually know art theory to save his slopThe blind with crutches thinking he could lead a group of blinds
CRAB inches ever closer to it's May 17th starting date! New entries still are being accepted!>What is this?CRAB is an OCT where artists submit their OCs and participate in a three-round tournament where they are pit against an opponent to fulfill a prompt's task over the other. There are three rounds and thus three prompts that an artist must fulfill featuring their OC facing off against another OC using the theme and prompt as their guideline for content.>How many people will be participating?There is a maximum threshold of 50 participants.>How long will this take?From May 17th to Aug 25th. There's breaks to stop people from burning out between rounds but generally worktime for each main round is 2 weeks. >Random art battles?CRAB has had animations, VNs, DOOM.WADs, and more submitted as entries in the past, that's where the 'random art' comes from.>How does this work?Comment too long.

The general thread for Manga / manga-styled comic-making, manga-style illustration and related comic work. That said, everyone is welcome here.Support each other and talk about your work or the work of others that excites you. Inking, character design, paneling / layout, writing, planning, and other discussions are all welcome.Post resources, questions, in-progress pages, breakdowns of other works, etc. If a work is not yours, credit the maker (unless it's fucking obvious like a full page of One Piece or something).Thanks to everyone for making /mmg/ a level-headed and helpful place. Remember, drawing and making comics and manga are difficult endeavors, and we're all in this struggle together.Previous thread: >>7931885Some resources:/asg/, our stylistic sister-thread series for those focused more on illustration >>>/ic/asgBooks:Understanding Comicshttps://e-hentai.org/g/2042453/83e7da6ed0/Making Comicshttps://annas-archive.org/md5/d55168f7579c1e23275d1fc9f0a2255dComment too long.

he can definitely get away with using thicker lines, which would make the panels feel smaller and more compact, allowing him to draw more since it will feel like you're not drawing as many lines. For far away things you can keep the thin lines or even draw the distant objects at full size then shrink them down by selecting them, that will thin the thines out too.
>>7943356
>>7943356>>7943536I think he mans the hatching. Instead of doing a bunch of lines he could of just done this, which takes way less time.
>>7943772Oh wait I just reread the post. Yeah I don't really see an issue with the hand, frankly.
>>7943610ah, I had a feeling you were doing this because the panels are misaligned. I'm not sure which program you use, but Krita got a recent update that lets you create gutters the same way you would in CSP. So basically what you do is you use the square tool for your main page area, and you can use the gutter tool to divide it into panels with specific widths.https://docs.krita.org/en/reference_manual/tools/comic_panel_editing_tool.html
Indian guy made it
>>7942318this desu
>>7941512>I'm saying that minimum wage is a poor standard for "making it".It's actually a great standard for making itYou are being useless to society if you are working under minimum wage as a freelancer.You are coping.You either freelance and make it, or integrate in the cog of society even at the lowers level.If you freelance and don't make minimum wage, you are simply failing as a human.Your point of view is so abstract and delusional that you have no measure for failure.
>>7943190>You are being useless to society if you are working under minimum wage as a freelancer.WHICH society? Because I make good money for some countries. I'm saying it's relative.My measure for failure would be being forced to quit making comics to survive and dying having never made anything worthwhile.
>>7943198>My measure for failure would be being forced to quit making comics to survive and dying having never made anything worthwhile.So almost no one ever fails under your pov, yes, I understand thatThat's why I called it delusional and retarded.
>>7943527>So almost no one ever fails under your povMost people who try fail under my PoV.
Every time I try to draw a figure they come out stiff, or I end up reverting to the same few poses. How did you break yourself out of this habit? I want to draw cool actions with dynamic perspective
>>7942892go to youtube, find break dance videos and pause on a cool pose, study.
>>7942892i think it's all about weight, lines, and gesture. depicting a clear action is also important. remember there's a floor, you know
>>7943732samefag but this picture and the one i'm posting now are very different but they also share a lot of similarities. weight bearing parts of the figure are obvious, there's a floor, lines are clean and suit what's happening, you can tell the artist was thinking of a specific scene while drawing, so on so forth
>>7942892study dancers, ballerinas, martial artists, athletes, gymnasts, etc.line of action dot com, as well
>>7942892>Asks for feedback without posting workYou should be banned and raped in whatever order
Was overcome with emotion and attempted a "vent art"What do you guys think? What emotion does this feel like?
>>7942894Also drew this on the same day, for the same reasons.
>>7942894>>7942895Those drawings are awesome desu, very distressing, i want to be your friend, do you have a disc or twitter?
>>7942902Don't be trolling me anon, I also want an art friend too. My disc is andyourtherapodcansing
>>7942962>andyourtherapodcansingthere is no user with that name

Japanese artists masturbate to their own drawings, can you do same?
>>7943495anon, you're gay
>>7943488Have you ever heard of not getting high on your own supply?
>>7943488I draw so much of my fantasies that I don't find interest in real life relationships anymore unfortunately, it's a deep abyss.But once I jerk off, I don't really have the drive to do anything productive let alone drawing, so I still have to build disciplineif I want to produce anything worthwhile
>>7943488I usually wait until after I'm done drawing>>7943633That sounds...challenging.
Of course not, not only do they look like shit I keep noticing the anatomy errors and wanting to kill myself

>>7942449If you already have a base black, tinting it to adjust the temperature or to help integrate it with the other colors of the palette is perfectly fine, there's no real need to always mix a black from base colors, doing it can give you subtler shadows with different shades and temperatures, but honestly that's not something super important, and this is coming from someone who frequently mixes his own black with oil paints.> Just not sure if I am playing to strengths.Gouache is honestly so versatile that you don't really need to worry about that too much, it's not very good for painting on canvas and not the best choice for a technique like impasto (though you can do it if you are careful), but besides that, it's great for adding colors. If you use it because it's easy to set up and reactivate, you're already playing it well to its strengths.> I really don't know what I am going for.That can be tricky to find out. I feel like that most of the time too. But learning how to color is a bit of a separate process from learning how to draw, one will inform the other, but colors have their own particularities to look out for. You have any artists you really enjoy in terms of painting and such? Trying to copy a piece by them can give you a lot of insight.
>>7942095THANK YOU anon! I'll keep this in mind while I redraw/sketch the area. I don't have a scanner but I'll try and do some digital when I am able to.I'll probably push the leg anatomy to be more aninal like, I luke how your red lines look with the more emphasized feet/paws. Thank you again!
>>7942434Unironically try a pixel/binary brush? >>7942732If you can go digital totally do it. I love trad and I started trad but its expensive and expenses build up. If you can get modern hardware and you're staring it ought to be better long term I think. Worst case you'll at least save cash on physical assets and storage space for supplies (scanner/lightbox/erasers/pencils/inks/dyes/masking tapes/younameits). Im on a screenless ancient minitablet so I can't really recommend anything but I think a display-screen modern thing should be great! Plus it helps a ton if your only drawfriends are online so you can get assistance quickly.For right now if you don't have a scanner you can look up how people photograph their art with digicams and smartphones, I think some managed to make DIY lightboxes with old cardboard boxes and white cloth? If you don't go digital you'll need something like that for art photos.From pure hardware I think regular printer paper works best for tryouts. Check regular and mechanical pencils and those erasers that look like a crayon, idk the name? "Stick eraser"? They help a ton and you can sharpen them like a thick crayon too. Totally grab red/blue pencils/crayon-pencils if you can, color helps a ton for WIPs.For inking I used MICRON PIGMAs but you'll have to just go and see which thickness is best for you.And remember - trad art allows it and you SHOULD copy/trace your own works to get them redone better. You can put your drawing on a piece of clear plastic or glass with a flashlight under, put paper on top, and redraw the better/correct lines like that. Or use house windows on a sunny day. Or use thinner paper on top of thick dark ink lines.That way you can do a WIP in red, apply fixes/changes in black, put it on glass, put paper on top, redraw correct image.Comment too long.
