Hard mode unlocks only after you have completed normal mode

They aren't important in that ACTUALLY learning anatomy - names of bones and shit - is a waste of time. You always have reference to work with, you don't need to actually remember where which muscle is, that's just dumb. What you need is to convey movement in a dynamic and expressive way, that's the actual key to good figure drawings.

The only thing I can't do is draw. Drawing degenerate art would be a perfect job for me otherwise. How fucked am I?

How do I stop being shit at drawing, I dont know how to improve.

How do you get better at Dark Souls? Keep trying again.

I don't understand. To fuck anime girls I first have to learn how to turn into a skeleton? Become a necromancer? Acquire X-Ray vision and look at myself in the mirror? Pls explain.

True mate, true. But these are so few and far between. I can't even think of one off the top of my head.
To me, it meant that these people don't consider their work to be art at all. Just some shitty cartoonists on the internet. The worst kind of people is the one who called themselves "Artist" when they don't bother to put theirs all into it.
I kinda agree, but you'd still need the basic understanding of human's anatomy to be able to use the reference effectively without copying them right off.

Here's the truth, that advice is completely true. You and everyone reading this post knows it. I don't need to explain why, it's obvious. However, most artists lie about having learned it first. Most won't learn "proper anatomy" for years after they start drawing daily. It's an absolutely vital step to bring your art to the next level, and if you're smart you'll learn it early. However, artists who act like they didn't start drawing until they understood every aspect of anatomy are fucking retarded. They were doing the same shit, and they weren't doing the boring studies of real life either. They're pretentious buttholes about preaching proper anatomy because they don't want you wasting as much time as they did. The only way people who stick with it truly understand this is by hearing it from a thousand different people.

The pic is not the actual case, but i feel any artist will be 100 times better if they bother learning anatomy properly, their mastery just shows in the work they do, same thing with perspective.

>final ending or actual content is behind hard mode
Fuck this, call me a casual but if there is a mode called "normal" mode, it should have everything available to it. I dont mind locking rewards like skins or new weapons behind hard mode but having exclusive levels is garbage.

>hard mode is so hard most people don't even attempt it and people get upset when you talk about it

how do i keep myself from straying from the realism learning to the animu bullshit while learning?

>what is artistic integrity?

D00D u r so rite. All competent devs should be able to make levels with scaling difficulty and any content that simply doesn't work when scaled down just needs to be cut entirely and never see the light of day!

I'd say it's somewhat valid in the case of a game drip feeding you essential mechanics and having encounters tailored to make you master a mechanic before progressing with higher difficulties ignoring this learning curve, but even then I think the game should only provide a warning message.

>Like, my negro, these are literally and figuratively the two most important thing you should learn after composition and shading.
you have it in the wrong order, and it's better to learn it all simultaneously

Chant "begone foul succubus" three times slowly in a stern voice before drawing. This will focus you enough to at least suppress the demonic thots, if not temporarily exorcise them. Invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ if you feel you need a little extra help.

What's this about Japanese accents? I've only got a minimal grasp on the language so far, so I can't quite read what this is about other than it counting syllables in words.

Fuck that, just leave it unchanged on normal mode, let me tough it out, the worse thing about some old games was just playing normally, reach the ending and get cucked with
>oh did you know? The ACTUAL last boss is behind hard mode, now go replay the whole game again to get the proper ending HAHAHAHAHAHA.
Fuck off, if you are going to do that have hard mode be the default mode, or you know, call it NORMAL mode. There is nothing normal about not having an ending.

You have to learn to hate anime by seeing it for what is is for a little while. You'll eventually cringe at the mere thought of it and your art will be better for it.

Anyone can learn how to draw, but it takes time and effort. You either need to enjoy drawing, or have the capacity to force yourself to do something you don't enjoy.

Holy shit, just like everything else art is about experience and time. Please don't listen to LOOMIS idiots and whoever else, absolutely nobody started drawing by reading LOOMIS then never struggled with construction or anatomy again. You're always going to struggle with it and you'll redraw thousands of drawings in your life if you stick wit it. It's like trying to get into competitive Melee when you've never even played a video game before. First you'll have to learn how to hold the controller and press the right fucking buttons. Once you get used to games as a concept and time has passed, then maybe then you'll be good enough to learn the more advanced tactics and master individual characters. Don't be mad that you only just started playing games last year and there's people on Twitch who are better at Melee than you. Absolutely none of them started off playing video games half as good as they are now, and most have been playing them a very long time.

Just draw whatever you feel like at first and ignore the LOOMIS shitheads, you're not going to become a top artist overnight but that's fucking fine. Yes you should learn proper anatomy and take time to study it, but you're obviously not going to do that boring crap all at one time you should draw what you want as you're learning.

To me, the most important thing is to surround yourself with those who shared a similar ambition.
Find some artist friends at the same level as you with preferably a similar style should be a good start. After that, you and your mates should be able to push each other to become better as long as no one gives up. Try to draw the current art memes will be a good exercise as well. And most important of all, HAVE FUN!
Use references while drawing. Just open up the reference of your choice that's not anime related.
Remember to draw smaller heads, eyes, and more detailed nose. But you should really remember that most people have their own art style and you should not categorize them all as "anime".

Simply, avant-garde.

If you want to be one of those musicians who can't read sheet music be my guest. It's not that you can't do it, but you're creating a lot of stress and extra work for yourself when you could just take time and learn the boring craft part of it and actually fully comprehend the line of work you're in.

and by "correctly" you mean exploit broken builds and retarded AI. Much like how TES becomes a game of exploiting geometry the AI can't path through

I unironically like this more then any other art ive seen in years. Its like staring into the abyss. I feel something.

okay i;ll ask

There are basically two types of words, downstep and 平板 words. Downstep words will have syllable that is accented which will have a downstep after it, but certain downstep words have it on the last syllable so it is only noticeable when a particle is attached to it. Pitch accent can affect the actual meaning of the word like 今は (I mawa) and 居間は (iMA wa). The best part is that most textbooks, courses, even most Japanese to English dictionaries won't have any mention of it (despite J-J dictionaries have a number telling you which syllable the downstep is on.) Basically, you can not learn japanese

>you don't need to actually remember where which muscle is
very wrong, if you're drawing people then you should know that, as your drawings will ALWAYS be better knowing it than not knowing. Knowing names is usually just a way to help you remember everything but you dont need it.
Of course gesture is very important too and you can sacrifice anatomy for better poses, however good artists ALWAYS know anatomy, so they know which parts they can edit/remove and what they can get away with and still have a believable, dynamic picture.
You will not always have reference to work with, unless you have a perfect model who looks exactly like what you want to draw on hand 24/7 so the knowledge is always required, and even if you have reference, if you dont have knowledge the reference will be your limit, whereas if you know what you're doing the reference is just an enhancer, and you'll be able to go beyond it and make actual art.

Thinking like this is why 99.99% westerners can't draw anime style art without it looking weird and shitty.
Japs are surrounded by anime style and manga from young age and practice drawing that style, and it works for them.
If you think every WSJ artist studied loomis you're a coping fag.

I honestly hate seeing things like this where the artist is very clearly trying their best but they're just not good and showing zero signs of improving
