/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

This is the place for:

1. Participating in anime group studies:
>Keep it to 1-3 group references. The less the better. There is plenty to learn from any given image.
>Mindfully break down the reference in various ways instead of mindlessly copying.
>Keep your copies true to the reference but don’t overwork it. Start a new drawing.
>Make multiple copies. It should get easier each time. If not, reevaluate your methods.
2. Posting your individual anime studies:
>They should be studies drawn with a reference or tutorial.
>Provide the reference used if you can.
>Your study should be a direct copy of some aspect of the reference such as the shapes or colors.
3. Serious discussion about emulating anime style art:
>Questions about achieving certain styles/techniques/compositions etc.
>Drawing methods, study habits, resources, tutorials, tools, software, etc
>Be specific and try to post a sample of your study attempts before asking for help.

**Keep most of your personal works for /ALT/ or the other critique threads. Here we should be drawing copies from good references to mindfully up our mileage, internalize appealing aesthetics, and learn from each other’s processes and knowledge.**
