Anime/Manga/Cartooning Thread

"There must be a genuine basic motive behind any genuine effort. ...search quietly and thoroughly for this basic motive, because if it is powerful enough, it will give you the strength to withstand discouragement, disappointment, disillusionment, or even seeming failure." - Andrew Loomis

Previous Thread: >>1684781

A general message to aspiring artists: Fear is the mind killer. Do not be afraid to make mistakes as no one is perfect, you will make mistakes. Learn from those mistakes, break from your comfort zones and explore new horizons.

Submit your drawings, receive feedback or critique others! Share your knowledge and remember to thank those who've critiqued or red-lined your drawings. Most importantly, have fun.

This thread is meant for artists who might want to try to make stylized work in-between their studies. It is strongly recommended that you use this thread in conjunction with learning the elements and fundamentals of art. You can also discuss the visual elements of various professional artists as well if you keep it relatively articulate and civil.

I'm taking a life drawing class right now and the newsprint dump is from last month's class. I've seen Some of Proko's gesture videos but that's about it.

Also I was much worse than I am now but I didn't do anything to improve... Just waited and I got a bit better. But I don't think that's a viable strategy and I actually want to improve not rely on some weird phenomenon.

I try to listen. I've been doing a LOT of blind contoured and gestural studies trying to make things not look so 'stiff;'
I've done two or three painting studies but I can seem to get the idea of how toe replicate realistic 'shading' when working from imagination. I can replicate images with out a problem. I've done a Color theory study as well. I can do everything well in practice I cant seem to make the 'gap' between replicating an image and making a new image from scratch / without references. I plan on doing more painted studies.


The tiny one is supposed to have a proportionate body- He's like 4'7'' and be petite. The larger one is like 6'0'' and built. Some times I have trouble making them look the right scale even when referring to the height chart I made. I think I may exaggerate the size difference a little too much.

Her boobs are too shiny compared with the rest of her body.
The shading is not consistent. The boobs say the light is coming from above, the torso says from her right.
Her labia are sideways, the way the torso is turned, they should be pointed toward the viewer; tilt them 45 degrees.
Right forearm and upper arm are about 1/6th shorter than the left.

Would penetrate though.


It's obvious you used a ref for her stomach, since it's the part that looks the best.

colors are kinda oversaturated, aren't they?

I tried with the perspective, really. Especially that stupid brazier. No matter how I turned the ellipse it wouldn't look right.

I admit I know nothing of composition, except I tried to put the focal point at the upper left third and the lines of the roof all kinda point to her. Any suggestions on how to make it better?

>> No.1688449

>>1688410
To name one thing of many. The lightsource. What is it?

From the highlights around the edges on the roof the moon seems to give some decent light but what's with the fire? On the roof supports the light seems to be only coming from above the viewer somewhere? and due to way the shadows on the girl are done and the lack of perspective it's hard to see how big that fire basket actually is and where it stands. Nearly below the girl or more in between the viewer and the girls position?

Oh and the face. Most important part of most characters. let's just say I don't like the neck(though I suppose she can be particularly muscular there), nose(looks like a piece of the bottom was cut of and eyes. (too much like an ill defined inbetweener of the huge and classic anime eyes.) Oh and place those boobs a lil bit lower....and the muscles on her left upper arm are too defined compared to her other one.

There's some other stuff but meh that's just what I think of it.

Figure is "ok" but your lack of chops really shows up in the torch and the building

Suggest you take some time to raise your perspective drafting power level and:

1. Try to invent backgrounds from imagination using perspective construction methods

2. Still lifes using construction methods, buildings and objects drawn from life

3. Photo studies of buildings and environments if you can't feasibly do #2

Make an even balance between creation from imagination and studying, one facilitates the other.

Your art will come out that much better.

Just fucking use references, damn. You don't need the reference to line up exactly, copy it down to the last detail because that's not how referencing works. You're not really impressing anybody by 'lol no ref guys' because the only thing they want to see is original and well done work. You just need to put together a collage of references and loosely work from that, draw from references, don't copy exactly.

And who the fuck cares about exact proportions? Just guesstimate and make sure it looks about right. You're thinking way too much into measurements.

>>1688438
Colors as in color theory. Your palette is all over the place and everything is oversaturated

Do environmental drawings of buildings from life (or if that isn't possible then from photos) to get a grasp of perspective and some inspiration for compositions maybe as well

Muddycolors has a neat composition/thumbnail introduction, you should look that up from google

And by fundamentals I mean that the drawing itself isn't very good. The fire looks awful, not has any texture to it, the sky is extremely flat, lighting doesn't look convincing at all and the character is a bit uncanny and stiff looking

The modeling is in discord. The rendering of shadows and highlights are contradictory to each other making the illusion of volume superficial. It ruins the foreshortening on her right arm and draws too much attention to her left thigh at the bottom away from the whole figure. The stomach looks as if it has internal damage and is too long, even for the style. And the breast appear wet, while the rest of her appears dry.

So you have a rendering trick. Fine. And you probably copy a lot of photos of statues and nudes for practice, right? And I'm also sensing you got a ton of anatomy books too? But none of that matters if you don't understand the form FOR YOURSELF. You're not thinking through the piece, you'r just going through the process.

I bet most of your girls have there head positioned in a short variety across all your work. I bet they have same-face too. I bet they have unbalanced hips. And I bet you have a hard time maintaining harmony with your proportions when the pose requires depth.

You're nothing but a drama queen with superficial skills like that. Get bent, loser.

i posted that image because it was descriptive and a nice lead-in into the subject. it shows their basic relations as primaries, secondaries etc and some combinations. it's enough to get people into thinking about color theory.

These are some exercises to help with your lines:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPBkhAB6KM4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0luqthUseQ

In general, you need to start at the very beginning. You need to work on doing at least one life drawing a day. Begin with objects that are box-shaped, cylindrical, or spherical. Once you've gotten good with these, move on to more complex objects and learn how to the break them down into boxes, cylinders, etc.

You should also be studying perspective. Look into "Perspective Made Easy" and learn to recognize how perspective works with simple objects. That way, when you work with complex forms like the human body, you know to correctly deal with foreshortening and perspective in regards to different body parts.

As far as your gestures go, make sure you do at least twenty-five or so 60 seconds to 2 minute gestures a day. Be sure that you analyze what the purpose of your drawing is and what you want to get out of it.


Keep in mind these are just some suggestions. It's up to you what you want to study and how you want to study. Ask yourself why you are drawing and what it is you want to draw. Get your priorities straight and then go from there.

hi
i didnt read all the comments leading up this post but im going to assume you got yelled at the most for shading with black, right? anyway, yeah, not a good idea.
also, not a good idea to blend at this point. or even color tbh.
you gotta work on your drawing and linearting skills, right now your lineart is not that great but at least it doesnt look like you're using stabilizers, stay away from those!
also, if you want to color, start by cell shading. most people will tell you that its lazy or a copout but cell shading will give you a better understanding on how to give the illusion of volume through the use of colors.
or you can just make it shiny like i did and call it a day.
your choice.

I know it's just a sketch so I'm not gonna nitpick too hard.
First, is this a boy or a girl? The waist and abs look too wide to be a girl, yet the hips have shape and the direction the nipples are facing suggest it is a girl. The way you drew it doesn't look to me like a stylistic choice either.

Another glaring issue is the length of the arms, if she/he were making that pose the hands would be a tad lower than the bellybutton. You also drew the far arm bent even though it's supposed to be in the same position as the near one.

In short, anatomy needs werk.

I like the idea but you suffer from "hairy" lines, Work on your linework, learn about line weight and where to apply definite, solid lines and where to apply fast, sketchy lines. Also, remember that the direction and curve of lines can communicate the form of the object.

I was going for the androgynous look :)
I based the arms off the fact that the elbows are in line with the belly button when the shoulders are relaxed.
But shes in a pose where shes shrugging so the elbows are instead in line with the bottom of the rib cage.
The forearm (excluding the hand) is shorter than the humerus - only extending to the armpit when they are compared.
The left arm is pressed against the torso so fat bulges but maybe its too prominent making it look bent. I can see where that comes from.

I think what youre doing is trying to scale everything down to make up for the wide waist/abs. Ill fix that then.

A life drawing constitutes anything around you, so yes. Personally, I'd suggest using your pencil to measure angles that look confusing.

Try not to let bad drawings get you down. Chances are it's going to take awhile before you can get to level where you have a reliable grasp on the fundamentals. As long as you keep practicing and pushing yourself to improve, you will get better.

figure drawing for all it's worth is way too much to take in for a beginner, really only 'fun with a pencil' is a good loomis book for starting out. the rest are great references when you get a bit better.

Michael hamptons 'figure drawing design and invention' is the best for starting out in my opinion.

Anyway, the gist of a lot of it can be summed up as getting your brain to draw in 3d. Judging by your drawing you're drawing flat. try and imagine the actual 3d form of something when you draw it. draw lines wrapping around it, draw everything in generalized 3d shapes that are easy to imagine in a 3d space. Anything, as long as you can see and draw it as an actual object instead of some lines that form a body. practice construction under your figures. It's ugly and it'll often turn into smudged crap but it'll help tremendously.

Get a sketchbook and start drawing from life and just that fill that shit with what you see every day. Make thousands of shitty studies and gestures and over months they'll slowly start to be less shitty. It doesn't matter what you're drawing as long as you're observing and doing it as much as you can for as long as you can. Once you build a better skillset this way and can better render shapes in your head go back to those books and you'll better understand and appreciate them.

As far as your line work goes it comes from literally years of actively trying to use as few lines as possible and erasing as little as possible. One exercise that will help is to get a piece of scratch paper and fill it with straight lines and curves till it's almost black every day.

A contour is when the line turns with the form, its energy and motion can show depth and volume by going into the form and around it. Matisse's drawings are good examples. The outline just shows the shape, it doesn't tell much about volume. A silhouette is a good example.

I got manga studio when I was looking for a SAI replacement when I got my mac. It's the best drawing program I ever used. The only thing I wish it had were smart objects like photoshop and a "color" layer blending mode. Otherwise it's perfect.

That's true, and I have imported the PS chalk brush, which is my favorite. It really slows down my machine though when I use it at larger sizes. But the same is true for even MS brushes that aren't hard round.

I still love the MS interface though, and you can customize it exactly how you want. You're not limited by PS's arbitrary rules, like that all keyboard shortcuts have to have an alt or ctrl or shift with them.

you just made her hands too short.

of course, the anatomy in the arm is too vague, but the real problem are the body proportions.

>>1689515
the biggest "mistake" is probably the size of the ribcage. i can see that you have problems fitting the ribcage, pelvis and her belly together, and it's because the ribcage is too big.
experiment with the sizes, you may have an easier time stylizing if you made it smaller.
smaller ribcages tend to look more feminine, and it's much easier to go for a slender build with that.
if it goes well, you'll have an easier time with the belly and pelvis after that

also, stop learning how to draw bellybuttons from kyle. unless you are another chubby chaser.

Why is she posing like that? Is she stretching or something? It looks way forced and doesn't convey any meaningful information.

wonder woman looks fantastic, she has a lot of body language and emotion. Where Inversion...is straight as a stick. He doesn't even look like he's using his body to restrain her. His head proportions are off and look flat, and his face is still sketchy and doesn't look complete. It's pretty obvious you spend a lot more time drawing women than you do drawing men.
As far as >>1689883 goes, if you hadn't said she was dancing, I would have assumed she was laying down. It partially has to do with the angle; partially at the lack of hair movement and facial expression. If she's dancing, this looks like one single pose that she's moved into for a split second, and then moving right back out. her body would look much looser, hair messier, facial expression less shy looking and more comfortable. And last but not least, tone down that ridiculously huge thigh gap mound, it looks like she's packing. loosen up her jeans, give them more wrinkles, deemphasize the outlines of the breasts. clothes are there to frame the body, not cling to it like seran wrap.

the look was intentional but i recon it's not very successful, still being kinda shit at this, so, I'm guessing you talk about pushing the anatomy and proportions and avoiding that glossy look? Well, i'll figure it out, wait for the next one bby.

The board seems broken, or disconnected because you probably didn't draw the whole
thing. Even if things are hidden, they are still there, draw them all. The hairline is also too high

Draw using your shoulder rather than your wrist, plan your lines out before you draw them, actively try to use as few lines as possible and take 5-10 minutes a day to fill out a piece of scratch paper with lines. Fill that bitch with S curves, C curves, straight lines and rectangles until it's almost completely black.

To build up sexy line work takes a lot of time and a lot of effort but it makes your work much better. No more erasing. No more regrets.

Thanks for the advice guys, I'll start working on that. When you say no erasing, should I try to copy drawings without erasing anything? Do you think that would help too?

Also, I really suck at drawing straight lines (or curved for that matter) from point to point lol.

I know what you mean, taking brakes to look at different things is good but if you always take brakes every
half an hour or so you get disconnected with what you wanted to do. I like it though, the only thing that puts me
off is that her eye is either too big or too wide, it gets just too close to the nose, just because you don't indicate
a nose bridge it doesn't mean that it's non existent, all though it might be bad composition that gives this feeling to
me, with that hair hiding the end of the eye making it seem like it stops further away.

Try not to copy drawings. Study from life. Good lineart happens because you've sketched your subject and than gone over your sketch with lines that confidently and cleanly embody the contour of sketch. This only happens if you truly understand the form and the motion of your subject. Practice this by doing gestures.

Experiment, there is a fine line between uncanny valley and flat/cute. The flat/cute Animu is dumb looking because, well there are not as much planes and forms involved but when you start to add forms and planes things start to look unpleasant. Keep it simple, there is a time and a place for more planes/forms and this is neither the time or place to be doing that unless you want unpleasant results.

But that's just me.
