Sup d/ic/ks, I have another present for you.
In return for the list, I only request that you post more links that aren't listed, and that you give credit where credit is due. This list took more than a few hours for me to organizes, so I hope you find something useful, you ungrateful bastards.

This here's a tutorial/tip thread, because the other one currently floating around is trash. Don't post useless shit, don't post random bits from Loomis unless it relates to a tip. Starting the thread off with the progression of a drawing (original artist unknown).>Ogre Marshall (1/8)

so... anyone have any advice for clothing? when i draw i can never think of any designs for clothing. it usually ends up being a collared button up shirt and baggy pants.

Dave !!PRplWPrmU4S
Hello, I am an aspiring manga artist. I have made a lot of mangas and my friends and mom think I am really good. So I decided to share some of my works with you. I really hope to find a publisher some day and even work as a professional artist. I would like some critique on my art. I know the lines are too thick at some places but I'm sure that's not a big deal :)

It's art, far beyond our simple human understanding... To be honest I've never seen a drawing with so much meaning and so much emotion put into it. You can clearly see the pain of the character in the second drawing as well... Well, whether people understand Dave's art or not we can only hope that our holy messiah will come back to us and illuminate the darkness of this world with his manga.

So if they can't do the latter then they aint pro level to me.

I don't think you have, because your statement comes off as incredibly ignorant.

>>948536 Congratulations. You have written the stupidest post I have read in a week.
Technical proficiency is not the same thing as good artistry. The best artists are innovators. Bouguereau innovated nothing. He was all sizzle, and no steak.

having trouble with this. There is something wrong with the anatomy but I can't seem to put my finger on it. I would love to get some help with the anatomy before I get too far into the drawing. Also, I have no idea to draw people holding hands.
Anonymous
>something went wrong with the anatomy I could speak for three years, stopping only to eat, on what went wrong with the anatomy. But I'll make it simple: there is no anatomy. Those are pretty much stick figures. Flat as fuck. No volume. Nothing there. No gesture. No anatomy. No structure. No flow. No mass. No lines. It's shit. Stop trying to draw and go back to studying Vilppu tapes.
