    it means a lot actually, it's something that's very easy to learn. i'm not saying it doesn't require talent, i'm just saying that drawing anime is really nothing like drawing an actual person. the proportions and anatomy are completely ****** up on any anime character. they are in no way "real people", that's all i'm saying. no need to get so butthurt over it.

    as an artist, I can confirm. there's a reason so many talentless losers opt to draw in "Manga Style" because drawing a manga face requires about 12% of the effort, practice, and talent of drawing a real face.

    "omg guise u draw two big circles for the eyes and you add some more circles and then you ad some lines for the rest of da face guise, and tada look I'm an artist hurr durr."

    it's ******* effortless. not saying it cant look good, it's just easy as ****.

    Well, I have to disagree with you on a few points. Depending on the style you're drawing, you can either have **** that's so easy to draw, a 9 year old Japaneses kid could do better, or you can have something incredibly intricate, and incredibly well drawn, that could have only been made by someone who has studied human figure drawing, and landscape painting, for quite a few years. And, for the most part, if you want to make top notch "Anime" or stylized art, you have to have a very complex understanding of art, as well as having a deep sense of creativity. And, back to proportions and anatomy, that mostly comes down to individual style, and even then, that actually is narrowed down to different, common styles. Hell, I have seen, some amazing stylized or "Anime" artwork, that has had proper proportions, but what amazed me wasn't just the quality of the art work, it was how intricate it was, and that's what you kind of have to just stylized art on, how accurate it is, as well as how intricate it is as well. Almost anyone can do figure drawing, you're just drawing what you see with your eyes, but being able to draw a *******, I don't know, a Valkyrie descending from Valhalla, to meet Fenrir, on a battlefield made of the Ashes of the old world, takes a certain level of skill needed for the figure drawing, and combining it with a complex sense of creativity, and an in depth level of artistic sense, to be able to realize and portray all the intricate details needed of such a drawing.

    The reason why not many art colleges take stylized work, is because of very old ideologies, that only this hyper realistic charcoal drawing of a figure, is "True" art. It's all very "True Scotsman" like.

    body studies like this are actually a common practice. anyone and everyone who can draw something has done this. it is likely they looked at a real person's hand when they drew this. the way my teachers have taught me is to always use a reference when you practice, that way you can get to the point where you just know how to draw a hand out of the blue without the need of a reference.

    there's some really good anime i've seen too. i'm not saying stuff like this is bad, it's just that anime is an animation style and doesn't work to well in the art world unless it's really creatively worked with the media usage, color theory, meaning, and composition. like this is cool, but there's so much that can make it a better piece.

    drawing from photographs, drawing from life, drawing from models, drawing from any sort of reference diminishes the skill.

    Duplication is for cameras and photocopy machines, true artists don't duplicate. they create.

    sort of. I just know it's a lot harder to synthesize an image than to just copy something.

    when you create a piece of artwork like that, you're not really creating anything, you're just making a duplication of an already existing image. it's like painting by number, or coloring in the lines... or building a piece of ikea furniture based on the instructions. of course something has to be said for the patience and execution. fine media control, craft, etc. but from a purely creative standpoint, you're not really creating anything that a scanner and an instagram filter couldn't create.

    it's the diference between producing something, and creating something. duplication, vs synthesis.

    yes but to get the form down, you have to use a reference most of the time. i recently made a piece that involved using several images just so i could make one. the reason you use a reference is so you do have a "rule book", like you said. but the rules are more about having something to guide you in how light refracts off of the object (like you could look at curtains for a reference to draw batman's cape). you'll actually find that by practicing drawing what you see can actually make you better at drawing, because when you've drawn something enough you understand what's really there. if you leonardo da vinci was known for sitting down in the public square and drawing everyone he saw.

    Drawing a portrait of a subject that exists, is easier than drawing a portrait of a subject that does not exsist. Because with the later, you have to create the reference. you don't have the luxury of duplication.

    creativity, inginutiy, and originality are anything but abstract. for instance, drawing a bird might not be that creative, but drawing a flaming bird made of crystal, flying underwater, is a bit more creative. paving a road is not inandof itself, inginuitive, but paving a road across an ocean, or underground, or at 90 degrees straight up, that might require some original thought.

    Big difference between creativity and novelty; creativity = intelligence + imagination; novelty = imagination. The things you describe are "novelty". They do not really possess quality. They are basically just schizophrenia and a bit of "look at me, I'm deep and imotionul (sic)". While true creativity can shine even when an artist just draws a beautiful landscape he had seen yesterday. This takes sensibility and being able to reproduce/create beauty is what art is about. Art is not only about creativity, it's about quality and skill also.
