The general thread for Manga / manga-styled comic-making, manga-style illustration and related comic work.

Does anyone have the book in picrel btw?
It's useful for studying the available kinds of monochrome effects that are commonly used in manga.
??????? ????????)

Support each other and talk about your work or the work of others that excites you. Inking, character design, paneling / layout, writing, planning, and other discussions are all welcome.
Post resources, questions, in-progress pages, breakdowns of other works, etc. If a work is not yours, credit the maker (unless it's fucking obvious like a full page of One Piece or something).
Thanks to everyone for making /mmg/ a level-headed and helpful place. Remember, drawing and making comics and manga are difficult endeavors, and we're all in this struggle together.

Digitalfags, how do you back up your art?
I'm sure you don't upload all your shit online since not everything that is worth saving is worth posting, also you can't upload .csp files and the like. I think it would be devastating if all the shit I had drawn since I started learning was lost, but I'm not really sure what the best option for backing it up is.

Since AI is going to replace us in a year or two, what will be your new profession??

>medieval Europe
>if you were the son of an aristocrat, craftsman, or royalty you could get personally tutored by a master painter for virtually free
>you leave being basically a clone of that painter and go on to make history

>2022
>have to take out ridiculous amounts of student loans to attend art college
>Getting an actual good teacher is a crap shoot
>Majority of your time is spent taking mandatory courses that have jackshit to do with art
>Your art professor isn't even good at painting/drawing
>you leave without learning anything or improving your skill level

Started doing some creativity exercises by drawing stuff i see in the mess of ai generated images on wombo/dot/art

How do you guys warm up for drawing?

Does anyone know books or videos teaching how to draw boobs?

Welcome to the OC Drawthread:

Draw someone's OC or post your own. All skill levels are welcome.

Rules:

1: Post a brief backstory if your OC has one.

2: Keep it fairly SFW, please.

3: This is NOT a request thread, also posting your OC also isn't a guarantee that someone will draw your character/ exchange deliveries. Regardless, please consider exchanging drawings with your fellow anons as it's what keeps these threads going.

4: Character/ Lore Dumps are allowed, just be sure to specify that you're not posting with the expectation of getting deliveries.

5: Be sure to thank Drawfrens for their hard work as soon as you can, it's just common courtesy :^)

WARNING: The previous thread is laden with a particularly dubious curse.

Who is the most "made it" /ic ever produced?
Highest skill?
Make the most money?
Most popular?

If you design a character and you think it's a good design, it's probably just generic & you should scrap it and keep drawing.
