Heya! Welcome to the group I’m yupon its founder!
I am a master at confusion when I try to explain the reason and the point in this group and why we have declined peoples art, so I hope in this blog I can explain more precisely my intention in creating this group ^^;  [deep intake of breath!]

Like many people on DeviantArt I am in the learning process of trying to understand how to draw anime, each of us post up our artwork in the hope that people will comment on it and critic it so that we may see ways to improve our skills! :meow:

Another way in which we learn more about anime art is through visual analysis ¬_¬ - the human eye and brain is the most important thing to train with art! We analyse the many artists here in DeviantArt that have already mastered drawing anime girls, it inspires us and helps our understanding of their approach to the difficult task of how to draw anime!
I particularly struggle with drawing anime girls, I can never find the right balance in forming the body, and I also struggle with colouring and am forever trying different ways to tackle this!   
I thought that there must be other people out there who are also struggling with the same sort of problem, so I decided to create this group! :woohoo: :dummy:

In this group you will find only the most developed and accomplished art in the folders, and the artwork is separated into different folders, which I hope contain useful references and inspirational art in which the artist must have spent years practicing and developing their skills to create art of this standard XD
I also added a Resource folder which contains the best tutorials in DeviantArt and also containing art that doesn’t hide the construction of the body so you can see how the artist drew it!
Finally we added a Novice folder. I hope that people who want and are willing to give comments/critical analysis will add their art to this folder and this will help them and they will also help others! :meow:

I bet your wondering, why do I even bother submitting art, as in the end it seems like a collection of your favourites :noes: >_<! Well, this isn’t a dictatorship my Co-Founders also have their own interpretation of which art will be useful, and they also put their own ideas into the group, it’s not just mine and I’m sure you all have your own opinions too! We do accept a lot of art and I hope that many people submit their own art and art they know of too if they feel that it will help the other members in the group!
Something else we are strict upon is ‘appropriateness’ of backgrounds. Basically what we mean by that is it could be a blank background, it could also be a beautiful scene setting! As long as it is relevant to the character and created with the same amount of time and effort as the character!

We also do not accept anime coloured similarly to that on anime tv!:doh::grump: When I started this group I feel that creative art is taking the anime tv colouring and making it more atmospheric! Even a slight gradient change in the shading or the addition of using a gleam or blush effect can bring so much more life to the character!:happybounce::nuu:

WOOOW! This is mega long! Haha! I hope I have explained this okay! ^^’
In the end you may disagree with this group, and that’s fine! You don’t have to be a part of this group if you feel that it is not for you :):pat:
I need a cup of tea . . .:tea:   
I am happy to answer any questions, and I hope you understand that I’m not saying art that isn’t accepted is bad or wrong in any way!! We love art of all levels! We just feel some in their polished state explain the process of drawing/colouring more than others :meow: :forgiveme: and they don’t have to be mega complicated and beautiful to do this!
- Yupon

Does my art need to specifically look like any of the art here? Most of the art here is all moe and that just isn't my style O_o
