Drawing Anime General WIP - draw the pretty anime art you see

[Scavenger]

Did you ever wanna make the cool images yourself instead of asking AI or paying 1 zillion dollars to do so?
well fear not if jappy from tokyo can do it so can you!
GETTING STARTED:
Tools of trade:
a pencil and paper.
A drawing tablet 60 dollars by either Huion or Wacom
they go as low as 39.95 bones


Programs:
While I do advocate for pirating these software (except krita cause its free.)
Youtube consistantly takes down videos like
"how to get [program] for free" and it could risk for your pc to become infected so look at the comments and see the like to dislike ratio

Clip studio-Just fucking pirate or pay for clip studio.



Paint tool sai- This tool is well known and usefull but ITS USES ALOT OF RAM



Krita- free on steam and more accessible.


Getting to the nitty gritty:
Anatomy guides on jewtube:

Guide books that will help:​

[LEZHIN] Point Character Drawing by taco, It lists it in korean but theres an english translation on the bottom.​

Breaking down the human body to shapes is one thing but what i do is imagine a box don't go outside the box
Now get out there and draw:

Billions must draw

You vill fuck up alot but the journy matters.

Btw you can apply these lessons in drawing to anything else then again it IS hard
taking art seriously is easy to learn hard to master​

Why didn't you finish drawing that nerdy guy first?

Anyways you should draw chicks from PC-98 game covers it'd be a lot cooler

I have a pirated (free as the air I breathe, suck it Adobe) version of Photoshop that I use, but also SAI 2 for drawing is pretty good (which is free for download).

I also have one of the cheapest Wacom tablets (non-display, the one in OP's image), and has worked great. At first I thought that non-display would be an issue of skill, but it turns out that no, you can adapt pretty quickly to it.

In regards to brushes, I used to get those from DeviantArt (for free of course, and without nonsense attribution clauses/copyright), but it has been some time since that.

Bill Connolly's old tutorial series for Expert Village is my favorite resource for learning about anime style drawings. I laugh every time.
