Why You Should Copy Anime:

**Strive for quantity AND quality.**

Anime Studying:
>Copy anime references exactly and draw them from memory. Use illustrations, screenshots, anime figures, 3D models, etc.
>Don’t copy recklessly. Use construction, color theory, and other fundamental concepts to rehearse a drawing process that you can later easily manipulate for original artwork.
>Post all of your anime studies. Post even when you’re told not to. Create an art community that actually draws and improves together instead of just talking about it.
>Number your attempts and link to your previous posts.
>Critiquers should lead by example by posting their studies.

General Anime Style Discussion:
>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.

**Draw copies from good anime styled references to mindfully up our mileage, internalize appealing aesthetics, and learn from each other’s processes and knowledge.**

Is there a recommended book for color theory? I have Gurney's book, but it feels a little beyond me, plus it feels harder to incorporate digitally.

Didn't realize last thread was at bump limit, so reposting for critique.

Thanks!
>maybe add more shading on the face
I went pretty light on the eyelids and the side of the face, so I could see upping those a lot/playing around with them more in the future, but is there anything specific it's missing? Thinking about it, probably some kind of nose shadow, right?

How's this? it's just a sketch so ignore line quality

the hand looks like its twisting to the point of being painful
her left eye should be taller I think
I'm not sure the average person can twist their neck that much
I would like to see more of her ass implied on the skirt but thats just personal preference
still I think it looks very good! aside from the hand thing is a solid work, well done

Alright /asg/, explain where the German cosplayer derives her artistry from. I doubt she's the type to read books for this.

Kusotori could do with some anatomy practice if she really wanted to elevate to Priestess levels but she has a good grasp on how she wants it to look aesthetically and probably drew a fair bit on her own time. Probably too busy now, though. Wish Sui-chan still had time to draw again.
