I really like the anime movie akira, that if some fantastic animation right there

same except the part where the little girl got crushed to a pulp, I cringed like hell.

I can't helped but be impressed by some of the production art for those fruity JRPGs.

I wish this thread the best of luck.

JRPGs are what gets me into drawing in the first place.

and still is my objective and goal as to now.

One of my favorite anime related paintings. No idea who the artist is though.

I would definitely say that there is variety of genuinely aesthetically pleasing anime and that to do it right must take a considerable amount of skill.

And fuck you for reminding me of that.

Seriously, that part scarred the 14 year old me. It bothered me for weeks after I saw it. Something about that look on her face right before she gets crushed.

Haunting really.

local artist that I know does anime inspired paintings.

He's one of the few people I've met that actually took the style and made it something special

frankly, interest in anime is what inspires me to draw. so if /ic/ can't stand anime then this isn't the place for me. i barely ever check in here, there's no wonder why.

I understand what everyone says about focusing on the basics, anatomy, technique and i agree 100% on all of those points. that doesn't really excuse the rabid fuming d/ic/ks who shitpost all over any time someone posts anime here. so meh, whatever

>>1109665

They don't though, bro. If someone posts animu for critique, and it clearly has its roots in the basics. Anatomy, value, perspective etc. and it's obvious that the person is learning/has learned how to actually draw, it's normally received well enough here.

It's the guys that post this shit that has made /ic/ so bitter about anime. 90% of animu artists are THIS, popular and feel entitled to receive only praise and consider legit advice/critiques to be a personal attack. It's just annoying.

>>1109670
are you fucking kidding me? look at this thread right here.
>>1106761

i see plenty of ranting lunatics but the picture they're "critiquing" looks nothing like the one you posted.

whatever, i'm wasting enough time here already, i should be studying hands.

>>1109672
cool, we don't want you here faggot

>>1109672

But that wasn't OP's picture, nor was it posted for critique. Such a thread was destined for shit anyway.

And that's not even animu, man. Looks more akin to Alice artwork than, say, Clannaids or TTGL.

big eyes =/= animu

>>1109672

It is alright for someone to not like a drawing even if you think its good?

>>1109681
Yes.

>>1109681
is it okay to post like this?
>>1109677

>>1109684
if you're going to bitch about /ic/ not liking anime enough. Welcome to 4chan.

I enjoy anime and the art style. I don't plan on developing my style to look like it but I still enjoy it.

That reaction had nothing to do with anime. Try to open a thread with a Janaschi or Mullins picture for example. It's gonna be the exact same result. This board is just full of bitter, frustrated and extremely jealous wannabe's who just always feel the need to "critique" artists that are way above their own skill level.

One of my complete pieces. Looking for critique.

>>1109670
Not this.

My goal in art is to achieve the best anatomy I can while throwing anime style facial features on there.

Even though I ask for critique all the time and/or redlines to help my anatomy, I instantly get told just to stop drawing and go read Loomis in every thread I attempt to make.

I understand you must learn from the masters and study them, but /ic/ seems to be completely unreceptive to the idea of drawing something yourself (at any point in your artistic growing) that isn't life drawing, or people-watching figure drawing.

( Forgot my pic the first time I posted this. Please feel free to crit...I'm trying to make her look a bit chubby but curvy.)

>>1109738
first off, those heart buttons are very wrong and i think you know it. you cant get lazy with the details /especially/ in anime. second, the left elbow needs more shape to it in my opinion. her upper arm should be slimmer at that point, even if she is chubby. Her shoulder should be higher and connect more fluidly with her neckline, and her right hand seems wrong, though it's hard to put my finger on why (no pun intended). it might be worth a second look. her belt also seems like it goes up to high on the right side, even with the tilt of the hips, which isn't much. and on a personal note, i don't like the eyes. not because they're anime,, but because they lack charm. the lower lid line seems far too low and the lashes seem half-assed. nice tits though. i assume you realize shirts don't work that way though, right?

>>1109693
yeah, actually it did. because i posted it. leave /ic/

>>1109823
Thank you very much for this! I really appreciate it.

the neckline for the shirt is off center. it is stretched toward the left breast. the lowest part of the shirt neckline should be in the middle of the two breasts.
