Yea, it's good to use references, but you aren't going to forever
Anime is all about simplifying realism, and understanding what details to neglect whilst still making someone look feminine or masculine, which is hard to know if you don't have a fundamental understanding of both sexes. The difference between a mediocre artist and a great artist is a mediocre artist blindly follows what others do but a great artist understands *why* they do it
maybe im giving anime too much credit since its one of the easiest styles to draw, but whatever
Theres actually a part of me that wonders if I'll even touch the anime art style anytime soon, since I only picked it out with the assumption it'd be easier than realism. And then I was quickly told otherwise, and that I needed to learn fundamentals first.
My main context for even wanting to draw it was to be able to make reference drawings for 3D models.
But even in the 3D space I was told to learn how to 3D model real people first.
Ended up with a cycle of, if I wanna get good at 3D modelling people learn to draw and then 3D model reality first, and that if I wanna learn to draw, draw from reality first.
If you wanna be a good artist at realism, you just have to draw both men and women, hell, you have to draw all sorts of stuff, kids, old people, animals, whatever. It's part of reality and it will all help you understand it and how to portray it more. If you absolutely refuse to draw males, you're preventing yourself from becoming a better artist, you're limiting yourself just because you're attracted to women only.
And no, you don't need to know realism to draw anime. You could even start drawing anime and then move to realism because anime is a more cartoonish, simpler style.
i didnt know "more catoonish simpler style was a synonym" with "trash"
stfu fiction, no one cares for your opinion, im just here to trash talk anime

It's kinda sad that so far the only male protagonists I've ever liked were Master Chief and Doom Guy.
