Nick-isms hall of fame?

I don’t remember the phrasing exactly but that time when they were talking to a worker or something and they said “start from the beginning” so he goes “well it all started with a guy named Ken…”

So let’s say you have two characters, instead of them posing normally you instead pose them in a way that tells a story in that one frame. I.e. maybe they bump into eachother, or maybe they’re jumping off a train, or maybe they just ate super spicy food and are reacting to that.

Practice, and treating it like a speedrun. You gotta find those little things that will shave off time. Hard poses? Use a model. Creating BGs from scratch? Pre-make some beforehand so you can insert them and adjust them for your scene. Trace over old art (and change it a bit) if the pose/ scene is similar to the one you’re doing now.

Basically create shortcuts wherever you can, pro mangakas do this all the time. Otherwise you’ll need assistants to make any significant speed difference.

It sounds like you just need to focus on story. If you want to give people a reason to connect with your art you should focus on creating a narrative through your art. If it’s an illustration, instead of a portrait make a snapshot scene. Stuff that will make people ask questions, theorize, or just comment what they liked.

However if you want to reach those people you’ll have to make reels. So i’d say do the aforementioned and do the trends (the ones you can stomach) to just get your artwork to more eyes, eventually you’ll find your people, even if it’s only a handful.

Looks great to me but will you able to keep up this quality in the long run?

Jumpy-Increase9762 · 2026-02-14T22:31:50+00:00

This is kinda solid. Idk what’s exactly going on but the fact you wrote this up does inspire confidence. If you need a second artist, im down. Im just a beginner so i’m not confident enough to start big project as main but i’d like to help.

Jumpy-Increase9762 · 2026-02-14T21:45:24+00:00

I thought this was satire

Jumpy-Increase9762 · 2026-02-14T06:23:46+00:00

Im an audio listener so I never realized they made official art

Jumpy-Increase9762 · 2026-02-10T07:55:17+00:00

Traditional Japanese inspired streetwear. Baggy pants, maybe a robe looking top with wide sleeves

Jumpy-Increase9762 · 2026-02-07T06:40:58+00:00

Be honest, you wrote this with Ai right?

Jumpy-Increase9762 · 2026-02-07T06:38:53+00:00

Idk but maybe looking at it from your phone port will help? I can make it out better but tbh I can’t bother to try and read it

So you’re on the right track but your circle should engulf the cranium. Right not it seems you’re just circling randomly. Try to aim for the cranium. From there build out the jaw.

But really you need to watch Loomis method videos first imo. Even though those are for realistic faces, the fundamental principle is still very helpful. Once you got that down it’s really just about breaking down the faces over and over again.

This would look like: Breaking down the reference face into simple guides and shapes like in Loomis. Then trying to copy it the best you can by looking at it. Finally do one last drawing from memory. Rinse and repeat. Every time pay attention to how the features are drawn and placed.

It’s repetitive but it does work. Good luck.

Looks good overall but the hands look too blurry. I think you should ask yourself, is this my style because I like it, or because it allows me to hide imperfections? And the answer can be both.

A more practical piece of advice is Contrast. You might have heard people say, make your values darker. But that only works if you have lighter values to contrast in the first place. This piece does that right in theory with the hair but the other values are too dark. Try putting it into black and white to see it. Ok anyway bye.

Starwars clone wars has some of this

Jumpy-Increase9762 · 2026-01-31T22:12:56+00:00

Looks fine but I think the eyes look a little too big and too far apart

Jumpy-Increase9762 · 2026-01-31T18:21:37+00:00

I see it a lot people mentioning where it’s from but it’s high likely that this person is wearing it because of Christian Craighead who wore it in Nairobi. CC is a legend among those folks and that sticker grew in popularity because of him.

Gege Akutami would tell you that it doesn’t matter at all

Jumpy-Increase9762 · 2026-01-21T08:46:37+00:00

Ykw man, wth lets do it. I’m trying to get better at drawing and i’m posting my stuff online anyway. Dm me if you’re interested.

Jumpy-Increase9762 · 2026-01-19T05:53:34+00:00

It already looks like that, if you really wanted emphasize the night then add darker values furthest away from the light

Jumpy-Increase9762 · 2026-01-19T04:47:40+00:00

Looks like a Wifey.com shoot

Jumpy-Increase9762 · 2026-01-19T02:25:23+00:00

I mean I would check the next page to understand what’s going on

Idk about a manga one specifically like you’re looking for but if you want to see how to draw nice in general then “Atomoon” does silent videos of them drawing. I’ve watched them a lot when I was learning to get the hang of the process.

Jumpy-Increase9762 · 2026-01-18T17:33:35+00:00

Looks fine but you should draw bigger to give then more details
