Post your copy drawings instead of these useless floating head "practice"
You need to do 1:1 copies to actually learn
I bet you didn't do a true 1:1 copy, you just copied the features

>>7954604
My dude, how long have you been at this? Because it's going to take a long, long time.

>>7954604
Before you learn a way to stylize something, you should learn how to draw that something.

>>7954604
you are dumb, you will have to try it again at least 100 more times.
based on your post you don't have the mental fortitude for this, so save yourself the frustration and just give up now.

you have to master realism before attempting anime

A lot of you /begs/ would get 10x better if you made it a habit to write what you did that works- so you can keep doing it and what can use some work so you can watch out/study it next time. Simple analysis.

You're drawing balls as 3D guides but you just draw symbols on top of them. You're just doing stuff you saw without knowing what the purpose of it is. You don't even know what you need to learn to improve and yet you think learning fundamentals is a waste of time and you should go straight to anime heads?

I get it, I avoided fundies for years but what you need to realize is that fundies teach you something very important, they show you what there is to know. There are areas I am lacking in that I didn't even know exist until recently. Now that I read about it I can actually work towards getting better instead of spinning in a cirlce thinking my brain will just figure it all out one by on its own. You're basically trying to write a poem in a language where you only know vocab and you're not even aware that there are grammatical rules that you can follow. That's where the "you need to know the rules before you break them" shit stems from. If you don't know the rules you break too many at once without gaining anything from it.

I don't see you use the rote process that the anon used in his video
no circle, centerpoint, orientation, placement, etc
you haven't tried at all

>>7954639
thats just untrue my son. i know too many artists who can draw fantastic without ever having needed to master realism. i dont even know how many even do. it probably helps but definitely not a necessity

1. You only see what they post and what they are proud of. You don't know everything they have studied. They could have hundreds of pages of boxes stashed under their bed.

2. Practicing drawing is basically you training your brain you don't have to decide conciously where every line has to be placed. You can either learn to imagine the character and then which lines you need to show that form on paper (the fundie route) or you can learn how to draw every possible anime body which will only teach you shape language and will make everything feel flat. Both can give you the ability to draw good looking anime art.

If you're okay with only drawing anime and only being able to draw what you already know how to draw go ahead. It's just a hobby after all that is supposed to be fun. Just don't complain if you ever get frustrated

>>7956258
If you browse Twitter there was a trend a few months ago about art style range. There you could see that many cartoon and anime artists can actually do realism.

>>7954639
Every single Japanese mangaka started out by copying from their favorite manga and didn't bother with realism studies until long after

You're doing good, keep doing exactly this. You want to fail. Fail adjust, fail, adjust, and so on. Spam these sort of low effort sketches, look up different methods, try them, freestyle some too. Don't get demotivated, you're not supposed to get it on the first try, even if you're looking at the correct method that will get you there, the first attempts will always look wonky.
It won't take a long long time, I think you'll get a face you're happy with pretty soon, maybe not consistently but maybe one in every five or ten attempts, just keep spamming.

>>7954604
you already draw well enough to draw what you want. start drawing fun things instead of just grinding.

also you are supposed to fail, thats the point of learning. You get better slowly. Do you even want to draw? take a break from practice and just draw fun stuff.

>>7954604
Learn to understand real heads. Any style, anime included, is about distorting the proportions of real life objects to emphasize a certain aspect of them, but to learn to distort an object first you need to understand the 3D form of that object in real life, otherwise you don't have the info in your brain that you need to pull from to be able to decide where each line should go.

>>7956878
In that case, they are copying from someone who copied reality. They're copying reality indirectly, but with each copy of a copy, information about the real object it's originally based from is gradually lost, and the style degrades over time.

>>7957506
>the style degrades over time
That's a cope

>>7956878
>Buh-buh-but they didn't need to do it
Are YOU one of those published mangakas? Didn't think so. Get back to it.

>>7954604
>failed
Okay? You made mistakes, that shouldn't be a big deal. Keep trying and gradually improving instead of walling in your failures.
