Trust me. That's how I learned to draw as well.

I know, I was just making some drama...

I got too caught up in your drama lmao.

@Samui

Glad you like them. I'm sure you'll catch up too. Just keep practicing if you have time.

Update
Updated Ouka. For some reason my tablet just went bonkers when I was shading. Maybe my ram couldn't take the load.

Try to imitate a style that you most prefer to draw. Then try to copy exactly from a reference of that style. The purpose of this is to improve your accuracy. Once you're around 75% near that artist's style, you can go ahead and draw originals with the same style. This is to measure your progress. This also improves shading, toning, etc. on your drawing. If everything looks good, then you can use your original style when you draw.

It would be preferable that you create your original style while learning to imitate the drawing style of the artist you prefer. What this does is that you are incorporating what you're learning to your original style.

Technically this "may" allow you to get easy with drawings, but no, this does "ABSOLUTELY NOT" help on your drawing style, which, this basically means "copy-and-paste" of other people's style of drawing. If you cannot figure out how those works and try to imitate tones, shadings, blah blah blah... you will never understand why and how those things work each other, often that you end up using same technique that never works on certain angles or perspectives.

Start working with real-life drawings and shapes first, then put your own styles for those, then it will be easier to understand how those(other people's drawing styles) works.

you're not an artist though, mimicing artstyles actually helps improve your memory of certain visuals. just because you copy something for awhile doesn't mean you can make it your permanent style, just do it enough so you memorize certain features like how to draw body parts, anime eyes, etc then eventually create your own characters with said experience and maybe, hell, even your own style.

@Omega.exe

I agree to what you said as well. However, there are different approaches on how you can learn to draw. I myself have little time to study drawing and wasn't even much interested in fine arts but wanted to draw anime. True that I will still have to go the route that you mentioned, but what I did is just study how the other artists draw and then applying on my own.

Some people ask me why I'm accurate when I draw (well, maybe not that accurate). I only gave them advice on what I did to get to this point. It's up to them how they will develop their skills further.

I realized that I may have used the wrong words in giving them tips. I should have said that they should study how other artists draw and not make the drawing style their own.

Take a look at Rebirt Knight. His style is almost the same as Bleach. However, there are still some differences and some changes in the further chapters. Was he imitating the drawing style of Bleach but changed his mind? I don't know. Though that's what I think.

@NeedCheeseCake

Exactly that.

Remember the loading screen fanart contest I submitted? In all honesty, I fail at technical drawing. But I was able to draw it because of what I have learned. It was my first time as well to do such thing.

okay redbrief, I will actually bother myself and respond to your ment


>you're not an artist though

Of course I am not, cuz I still "learn" these from actual design classes


>mimicing artstyles actually helps improve your memory of certain visuals

w/o "memorizing and practicing" basic concept of how shapes work, how the fuc/k will you even know those certain visuals work?


>just because you copy something for awhile doesn't mean you can make it your permanent style

oh, no shit Sherlock, because it's never yours

holy shit you got offended for no reason, also calling out my name doesn't mean anything pretty sure everyone knows who I am (especially if you do, sherlock)

don't start acting like you know art by attacking a person with a more expanded opinion than yours.

you never respond or give opinion on anything with solid proof in general

Even just right now, you got nothing to ment back because you have no knowledge to back it up

dunno what you're reading but sure let's go with whatever arguement you're having with yourself?

-Sees a couple of posts from you two after I posted.-

You guys are ninjas I tell ya.

Sorry

Those are pretty good (I think I've said before).

I both agree and disagree with omega's post. to bend the rules you gotta know them first but you won't make it far if you don't have an inspiration or a goal to surpass.

Spoiler:

I think you did before but I appreciate the compliment.

I really like how you got Mai perfect

Thanks. I got lucky on drawing her.

Oh so that's where Kira got that ails sketch from... o3o;; also
Great signature kuzu, who's pacquiao

Oh yeah, I remember giving him the Aila sketch since he was crazy about her XD

Pacquiao is the Filipino boxer here in the Philippines who's also known as a Pound for Pound fighter that can assumingly be able to beat Mayweather who has zero defeats. It's a match that many boxing fans have been waiting for.

Geez, that's hard... I can think of very good players in CB that can be on par with Hikaru but none that I know are Filipinos. >.<

I'm not very good with requests either but I'll give it a shot. No promises though.

I look forward fanart of the Hestia clone Cyberstep will release in a couple of months tops.

that is too overly hype im going to kill myself.

Well, CS might have a chance of doing that.

xzpwnz could easily dust hikaru's shit in a nillasecond (pun intended)

I hardly saw them engage before but yeah, xzpwnz is a very good player.

Please be my sensei, Master Kuzuha *-*
