Anyone got any tips for using COPICs?
Or book/video recommendations?

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.**

Why is Wacom so evil? Are they even a Japanese company as they claim to be? I'm learning about this company's practice and every new piece of info astounds me. $300 for a new non-display tablet? Swapping 2 lines of products with each other for no reason? Introducing a new 'Pro edition' brand while forcing old brands into using shitty malfunctioning pens? Purposely making the nibs wear out easily so that people had to buy new ones? Releasing different tablets with similar names (Wacom One, One by Wacom) in order to throw potential buyers off the scent?

I understand that they're the leading brand in the business but somebody's got to stand up to them and punish these people, it's a crime what they did

What is /ALT/?
If you're looking for a place to post your cartooning then you've found the right general. This is /ic/s 1st and only merged hub where both Eastern and Western stylization can coexist peacefully, hence the double title. However, by community demand and long history, this is favorably an Anime general.
>Rules & Guidelines
(1) Any form of cartooning is welcome; so submit and receive feedback from others. (2) Please resize your images before posting. (3) Share your knowledge and (4) Remember to not be afraid of asking for critique. Most importantly I encourage you to keep discussion at a civil level, but you're more than welcome to share your opinions.
>I came for anime. Why does the image OP say cartoons general?
To distinguish from the anime study thread (janitor supported). Please post your studies there and personal work goes here.

>Rules:
1. Don't post nudity or too revealing works.
When in doubt, post a censored copy here and link to the original off-site (e.g. catbox, imgur, etc).

2. **No Porn**.
No, not the retarded "anything with a body in it is porn" standard or "I see her underwear, MODSSS!!!" Use common sense.

3. Do not post sexualized child photo references.

4. Due to the PPH (posts per hour versus the ratio of artists posting work) of this general, please wait until page 9 or 10 to remake a new thread or let the general fall off the board entirely before making a new one. Use warosu.org to retrieve the old threads.

Any other resources/references you are willing to share will be added. Especially any material that focuses more on this general's subject matter.

Honestly rendering is still so fucking hard for me and I have no idea what im doing, this anon here says its extremely easy by breaking it into shapes first and then rendering it. But I still have no idea what to do and my render tests still end up looking like shit. If anyone can explain this to me I'll post what useful shit I have saved away.

And if you guys have any references, tutorials, or classes you want to recommend or post for rendering feel free to post those too.

Can we get an /ic/ humour thread
