I did it bros. I managed to draw two intersecting planes from a vertical length, and also learned to find a height from a perspective length in 2 point perspective.

I still don't know very well how to rotate in an intuitive way, since that should imply moving both VPs and Measuring points in exponential proportion over the horizon. Tell me if I'm wrong, but to simply rotate a given angle I should project that angle from the station point towards the horizon, right?

Is studying art that's as heavily stylized as this right off the bat when I don't even have much figure drawing experience or anatomy knowledge worth doing, or it's better I study realism first and foremost?

>>7159501
no, you don't really have to. Things like anatomy and perspective are subjects that you study so you can fall back on the knowledge if something doesnt look quite right or you need to problem solve in your art.

When I normally draw, I get something like the left. The vertical line looks almost perfectly vertical to me. But as soon as I flip my canvas, the vertical line looks ridiculously tilted like the right.

I'm assuming to most anons looking at this, both faces' vertical construction lines have the same tilt angle.

So is it just because my actual eyes aren't centered properly? One of my eyes might be a bit higher than the other, does this mean my art is always going to be fucked? Or do I just lack practice?

when doing digi horizontal flip regularly, it's a good shortcut to have. If your drawing looks fine from regular side but weird when flipped it's because your "eye" is coping and filling in to make it make sense. We humans do have a biased side and percieve a more forgiving image on one side than the other when looking at a facial shape.
>>
>>7157922
Have you ever had this happen though, when you flip it, fix it, and then flip it back and it looks bad but just on the other side, then fix it, and flip it and it looks bad again, etc... in terms of efficiency it seems a bit rough.

You mean on the huge monitor, at first, you had something like

and then you got a second monitor so your huge monitor could just be

and the second monitor could just be

Why would it convince me? Someone that didn't use something in the past means they'll never use it? You haven't addressed anything I mentioned. If anything it would convince me otherwise, how can someone drawing that long not catch that the foot makes literally 0 sense in the sketch?

Other then 'I should give up art and kill myself cause I won't make it, ect,' Any advice when it comes to traditional painting or painting/colour in general?

>Any advice when it comes to traditional painting or painting/colour in general?
Practice makes perfect. Pick up a book and learn from someone more experienced than you are. Acrylic is a not such a great medium to learn how to paint. Gouache is not easy, but it's probably what you want. Values are critical.

>Any advice
Stop smoking, stop drinking, don't waste too much time playing games like one of those eternal teenager. Clean and cut those nails, then get a woman and impregnate her twice or thrice. In that specific order, that's preferable, unless you like witches.
>>
>>7159764
love me some witches, and was doomed from the start.
Always liked acrylic, though been wanting to give oil a try if I got enough caps for it. I've used watercolour before as well, and while it's choom not my side of the pond, plus mostly inspired by J.S.S and the fucker that did Disco Elysium's art. I'll check out Gouache, thanks anon

Frankly speaking, is it worth pursuing a career in the Japanese animation industry? It seems like storyboarding, illustration, concept art, and all other art fields have dried up, in terms of work. However, the Japanese animation industry is underemployed and is constantly looking for work, to the point where they will hire translators just so they can work with foreign animators who don't speak Japanese.

I really want to make art a career for myself. I don't see a future for myself in comics or storyboarding, but animation seems like a ripe, open field. Furthermore, I enjoy drawing anime girls, and I really like watching Sakuga Mad videos on youtube. I think animation is about one of the most difficult and noble things you can do with drawing.

Has anyone else had thoughts like this? Is anyone else in the midst of pursuing a Japanese animation career? What's your thoughts on this?
