Hey anon. Nice drawings.
No.8690
So, I just found something a little bit of motivating. If you're every down about how you're drawings "suck", and telling yourself "It takes time" doesn't work, do this little simple exercise. Draw two squares next to each other (The picture is using the "automatic square", so sue me for using that). Now, put your art tool in your primary hand, and be prepared to draw in the square on that side (Since I'm a lefty, I'll first draw in the square on the left). Draw four lines: One from the top left to bottom right, another from the top right to the bottom left, another going straight down the middle square, and the last one goes straight across the middle of the square. Now draw a circle in the same box. Switch hands, and do the same exercise with your secondary hand on the other box. Let the work shown with your secondary hand show were you used to be. It may not help everyone, but it gave me a bit of influence. Also, the app where first tested this on had a much worse drawing for my secondary hand.

If you're starting out, get any affordable tablet such as a Huion. Once you get good, you can invest in a better one such as a Wacom intuos Pro. Make sure you get large tablets.

It's good to learn life art and the basics of human anatomy first. A lot of good manga styles are stylized reality. Buy you need to know how to do reality before styling it.

Any advice on how to clean up your drawing?
I can't seem to go pass rough sketching. It hurts.
No.11876
>>11867
I assume you're working with pencil. In that case I recommend using a hard pencil (2H or similar) and pressing lightly for the rough sketch—that way you leave marks but no indent on the paper, and you can erase the light marks and it looks like nothing was ever there. Do your sketch, clean any lines you don't need, then draw over it with a blacker pencil. Alternatively, you can go over it with pen which is much more resistant to erasure and you can therefore erase harder after the rough sketching stage. Another option, if your intended end result is a digital image, is to use a non-photocopy blue pencil for the rough sketch, inks for the final, and scan your drawing without the necessity of rubbing out the pencil.
I apologise if I misunderstood your post and it's more of a psychological block related to finishing pictures. Not sure what to say if that were the case.
No.11879
>>11876
Unfortunately it is more of a psychological problem
I'll try practice drawing using your recommendations until I can grow out of it.
I'm trying to get used to manual drawing before going for digital. I recently got a tablet for free and I might as well put it to use instead of just giving it away.

Draw clumps of hair instead of individual strands. Block in the volumes of hair with a big brush that won't let you make little details.

If anyone's looking to pick up some good tips about drawing comics, check out a show called Urasawa Naoki no Manben. Naoki Urasawa, who did Monster and 20th Century Boys, films mangaka working for a few days and then does in depth interviews with them about their process. I've found it helpful for picking up inking tricks.
