Is it normal to get angry at yourself for getting better? That just means you were wasting time doing something wrong before.

From my experience, color theory does not have that much theoretical knowledge involved. Any video or article about color theory just repeats the same things about hue, value and saturation, the color wheel, primary, secondary and tertiary colors, and that is about it. Once you read about that, I think it is more beneficial to analyze photos and pieces of art you think have good colors and then try to bring their color schemes into your own art. What also helped me was getting out of stereotypical ideas of what color things have to be. Skin is not always peachy orange, depending on the colors surrounding it, it can be yellow, grey, blue, etc and still look right. Black hair often has tints of red and blue.
I think any artist can benefit from just paying more attention to the colors around them. So when you see a really pretty sunny street, think "What colors do I see? Why do they work so well together? Are there any colors that I wouldn't expect?"

We've heard of aphantasia and how it can hinder your artistic abilities.
But what about prophantasia? It's the ability to actually project what's in your mind's eye into your vision.
Apparently it's trainable by looking at an image for a while, then looking at a blank screen.

It is 2024, and AI Art is now mainstream. The normies on Facebook and instagram love it.
Almost nobody gives a fuck about "AI art is theft", and corporations like WotC, Blizzard, Disney, Anime studios and art studios are now using AI art in secret.
I saw a skinny metro california guy "taking a stand against AI art theft" and it was the most cringe shit ever. Even if img2img is theft, the consumers don't give too many shits.
It was a nice run everyone, but the public has sided with AI, it has won.
We fought, we lost.
Now we rest.

Yes and am very happy with it. I really wanted to be able to draw in this one certain weeb style for a long while. Over time by copying shit left and right I kinda got the hang of it and I can do it without reference with almost any character. Sfw, nsfw. Comic. Etc. Took a long fucking while but in the end feelsgoodman.

you have no excuses, it's the damn internet algorithm that is frying our brains.
Just close the tech and pick yourself up from your table, start drawing,just let the pen do whatever, eventually you will feel in a mood to draw, it's even kind of relaxing, it just takes mental fortitude.
>>
>>7158646
This is why artists have always been vagrants and wanderers who lived on the peripheries. Bohemians and counter culture weirdos, poor people, etc. Live light and only do the bare minimum to stay fed and have a room to sleep in. You don't need most modern amenities or entertainment, they are largely distractions for plebs to escape from their discomfort of their own skin anyway.

>There's been studies that have shown there's a cut off point for learning optimization somewhere around 2.5 to 4 hours.

that's cool, yeah that 1 buzzfeed study that 1 time, but in practice it's alot different, art progression doesn't work the same way, you could draw 8 hours and finally get a good piece have a breakthrough that's happened to me a ton of times. & it's not as though we are studying or learning and pushing ourselves that entire 4 hours of drawing, we're just drawing and painting most of the time repeating shit we've already done.
>>
>>7160462
also no one in the top % of anything is doing it for 4 hours a day, so there's no argument.
>>
>>7160504
It's not the physical toll, it's the mental and spiritual damage. I've been in offices pushing paper and I've been outdoors doing physical labor and I'd pick the latter everytime. Office work has a way of crushing the individuality and artistic curiosity out of you that's hard to explain.

You don't. These mannequins are more a decorative piece than an actual artist tool. You're better off getting one of those fancy anime action figures or a stickybones as shown in >>7158578
>>
I have anime mannequin, but it seems useless to me, because it’s a struggle to get natural pose. and it will only look good from one angle. it’s much better to find photo reference of a real person, then the pose will make sense.
>>
>>7156684
It's mostly to understand foreshortening from different angles. You can pose it and see how certain body parts look foreshortened and where they are in space. Definitely not useless. A lot of people mistake it as a figure drawing reference, which it is not.

I use this thing though: >>7158056 which is good enough that it can inspire ideas. Usually what I do is I imagine a scene from nothing, then use the Sticky Bones puppet and recreate the pose. Then I look at it from different angles and many times I improve on my idea by seeing more interesting perspectives and/or making slight adjustments to the pose.

Stop death gripping your pencil like as if you were gooning and hold it more easy on your hand. The right finger position gives all the stability you need without pressing down like your clinging on to dear life

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.

General dedicated to posting and discussing art of either:
1. Manmade objects, vehicles, tool, weapons etc. (of any kind and any historical era, as long as they fall in the ballpark of "technology") and fictional derivatives of such
2. Objects,vehicles, creatures etc. that aesthetically fall into the visual space of mecha/robot/artificial/cybernetics etc. regardless of level of realism.
Helpful to mention the level of realism, if any, you are taking into account in the art.
