Has anyone done low res pixel art, then used a SNES emulator upscaler filter, then did a quick paintover to fix some issues and bring up the quality?

I found the method is much much cheaper than doing an entire HD work from scratch and the result is not as terrible.

Let's assume your friend wants to become a 2D and 3 NSFW animator running a small time patreon to specifically target human/feral (furry)
demographic of gooners

Let's assume they got a decent sense of form, but no understanding of light, rendering, illustration techniques, composition, or anatomy.

Where should they start?

There's alot of things they can do
>research popular artists in the anthro/human scene, see what you like and dislike about them and try to replicate it
>do drawing "studies" of the human body and animal body as well, like muscles and portions, if they good at forms then just think of these forms as pieces of a puzzle and put them together if that helps
>research more about your niche, an example would be breast expansion, search the forms of the niche you're trying to hit, try to study the forms and shape you need to "study" as you'll need to draw them multiple times
>if color isn't a strong suit, just get a color palettes online and just use that in the beginning
>depending in the niche, have a "mascot" like character that's known for thier niche, like Jay Marvel has his fatass oc Carmen and Degeneratepai has her big tit ox Alex etc.
>keep your old art work to motivate yourself to see how far you have come, it really helps when you're in a rut!

The most important step is to set a clear goal to work towards. Then it's building a habit of drawing with that goal in mind. Let's say you read a manga and then wanted to draw like that. Just get a sketchbook and try to copy the manga for 30 minute a day. Slowly work up to 1 hour sessions. Draw everyday if your schedule allows. Sketch things from life too. After a month or so you can look for a beginner art book (Brent Eviston's is very beginner friendly) if you want to study art more seriously, or just keep things fun by copying stuff you like.

genuinely the hair does look really good
But the eyes and mouth are symbol drawn - as in you're drawing what you think they look like rather than what they actually look like

>> No.7471382

your chin is fucked as are the nostrils. judging my the nose and the markings in the eyes and lips, you seem to be trying to add in details to make it look better, but it actually makes it look worse because you only add in a few small wrinkles and lines to represent everything that's supposed to be there.
that would work for an anime or cartoon-y art style, but it won't work here. you either have to stop doing that altogether or learn how to properly show things like the wrinkles in the lips and take longer on your work in doing so. if you just wanna do short small things like this head, then i'd recommend dropping trying to add in those details altogether, especially if you plan to stick with this art style

The non anime face is completely unknown to me, so eyes mouth and nose are all awkward to draw. Unfortunately it wasn’t supposed to be stylized but realistic…

wrinkles were my attempt at a band aid, I sorta thought it would hide my issues. To be honest anime has no wrinkles, so they are bizarre to me. I just sorta added them where the picture had it hoping it would work out.

I suppose so, I just get too concerned on resolution, DPI, canvas size, printing and whatnot, so I don't make the leap. I guess I got to put my mind into it and start figuring things out.
For now, my method is to make a digital canvas using a real ruler as reference, then double the size for good measure; then again I haven't printed a single thing myself... Though a commissioner did print one and is on his way to print a second one he got from me, so at least I can say they do look nice as physical merch.

Even before you train your eye to see color, you can get a lot of mileage out of some quick on-the-fly adjustments. Anything that gets you 80-90 percent of the way there for only a minute or so of work is something you should take advantage of.
Your ref photo is a lot less washed out than your painting ended up. Before I did any painting over, I adjusted the curves (or if you want to go even simpler, you can just up the contrast) which darkened the hair and shadows but kept the lighter parts in tact.

Skin looks warmer in the photo, so you can slap on a color layer with a warmer color and set the opacity down until the skin looks closer. Shadows have a green tint, so I slapped a green overlay on and adjusted opacity. and the highlights look like they're coming from a slightly greenish light source, not white like in your painting. So another layer, set to screen and low opacity, to tint the highlights on the forehead greenish.

All that takes just a few moments to whip out but now you're way closer to your ref photo without starting from scratch.

As for rendering, a big thing to look out for is that you do need darker shadows to signal that your forms are in front of each other in space. In your ref, the front of the throat and the face have roughly the same values, but without that dark shadow under the chin, it looks like your face and throat share a plane. apply that to the sterno-clydo mastoid, the muscle that comes down from the ears and wraps forward, towards the viewer, until it hits the collar bone. slap down a dark shadow so you can tell the SCM is in front of the trap muscle.

It's really not that bad of a portrait desu. the highlights on the hair are placed perfectly; that small amount of detail is all that's needed to get the dimensionality across.

Also this anon knows what he's talking about so listen to him.

The quickest and most effective way to get higher range in a painting is this S curve - whiter whites and blacker blacks. I exaggerated it a bit so showcase it but most of the time, you can put a way subtler version of this on a finished piece and it'll instantly give a wider range of values.
