>that last frame

every time

Here's a few months old one I did based on a reference. It's nothing special, but considering I'm still really new to this I was satisfied enough with the end results and it served as a decent confidence boost.

>>2110045

>>2110048

cmon guize..

>>2110048
>>2110050

Looks amazing. Please link to some more of your work, kind sir.

>>2110050
Holy shit.

>>2110101
i don't know whome this is, only that i saved it from a previous thread like this one.

>>2110043
did, did you just save one of my progression gifs? x,x
I'm fucking speechless, thanks man.
first and last time i showed this here i got pretty much bashed. and on the final image didn't even get a reply.

>>2110038
i dont like how the OP artist (ive seen him around) hides all his lack of knowledge/practice with stylistic linework

>>2110917
No reply on /ic/ is not bad. It means you're too good to easily critique or shot talk, but not yet good enough for people to gush over. No one talking shit on your previous work is a good thing!!

>>2110922
[citation needed]

>>2110922
yes, but i am masochistic enough to enjoy getting slammed and pushed to thrive for more.
It's frustrating since I still see myself as being shit, but at least when i was "shitier-shit" i got feedback.

>>2110933
If feedback is super important post it up in the draw thread again after the old one dies. Or try another forum.

>>2110932
Are you new? We go out of our way to talk shit on anything that is obviously shit, so much so we talk shit on a lot of stuff that isn't even really shit.

>>2110920
>i dont use refs either.
>u more med now?
>>2110917
i have made a few postable by resizing and compressing them, most were like 5 mb, so im trying to get some others down to 1.4mb whilst still having detail, gotta link to more? i collect this shit bruh.

>>2110920
>lack of knowledge
>stylistic linework
you can only have one.

not mine

>>2110958
so far i've only made four, I'm at work right now so I can't post them myself, but can give you the url :/

>>2110917
if thats your work i critiqued it before on DA

>>2111052
yeah that particular gif got slammed for using to much 3D if i remember correctly.
On dA i get more critiques recently, also asked someone from /ic/ in the forum to critique me, if that was you. thanks once again your opinion gave me more insight where i went wrong :)

>>2110976
Now this is good

>>2110048
>>2110050

Does no one know who that artist is?

I never took this any further, but here's a cyclops I did in about two hours.

>no one is allowed to ever paint anything simple anymore. It must be a difficult enough subject to impress anon over here.

>>2110043
so many changes for such little outcome

>>2110038
perspective makes no sense

>>2111415
you focused too much one thing. i dont care if its the subject.

>>2111496
I don't care if you care :)
Had I gone further, I would've started putting a little more attention into the environment, but the idea was to try out a style different than how I normally work. In that regard, it was mildly successful.

>>2111581
such a western way of thinking cripples the artistic ability of an artist.

K weaboo, keep drawing your Mongolian school children

>>2111637
Huh? What's the eastern alternative to what he said?

>>2111807
Not everyone is from amerilard, you fucking idiot

>>2111672
ty based anon

>>2111852
lies

>>2111852
>>2111822
>>2111807
by western way of thinking i meant he is only centered to working on one thing, when easterners look at the whole picture.

>>2110038
It loses all of its energy after clean up. I have this problem too when cleaning up, everything becomes so stiff and lifeless.

Do any of you know how to clean up rough drawings without losing the spontaneous energy that they have?

>>2112290
maybe a kind anon will post a good example, hopefull in the animated gif. format.

>>2112290
Aim to preserve as much of the info in the original sketch as possible. The goal in the cleanup process should be to streamline and compress and state more elegantly but never to discard information. Pic related. I'll attach another after this for comparison

>>2112353
This is an example of what NOT to do during the cleanup process. It's from some colouring book. Contrast with the one above. Don't do this.

Here are some videos talking about the issue and how to minimize the damage

I don't get it

Thanks for the help!

>>2112355
I can see the difference, but still don't know how to make mine look like the first picture. ..It looks like it was drawn faster, maybe I should try that.

>>2112468
Don't focus on speed, that will probably distract you and keep you from focusing on more important stuff. In fact, take your time and focus on the quality of your lines. Keep in mind that although you may be going over the original sketch, you are not supposed to be 'tracing'. You are drawing and your mind is fully engaged and reacting to the drawing at all times. The original sketch is only a base. You are creating a whole new drawing on top of it.

One of the most important things to keep in mind is line quality. Here is something that may be helpful to get you into that mentality of creating high quality lines and avoid 'lazy lines'

Man. looking back on it now, i wish i had a better scanner to scan the book instead of pressing it flat against the scanner.

>>2116661
the colours are muddy shit

>>2116660
Insane how much you pulled it together for the last step. Still not great, but a lot better than it was turning out.

>>2110038
The determination to stick to the zigzag composition is making the positions of the characters suffer, it looks more like a flowy interpretive dance than a fight with strong movements.
Especially the furthest away fighter's pose with balletic leg positioning and awkward front arm.
Also the stabby guy doesn't even look like he's really holding onto his sword.


I love the tea guy in the back though.

>>2110048
>>2110050
Nice.

The only gif I have is pretty sloppy.

>>2116661
polished turd at its finest

>>2110041
Toppest of keks

>>2116831
>The determination to stick to the zigzag composition is making the positions of the characters suffer
Yeah, plus he didn't even stick with the composition as the image progressed. He kept the awkward poses, but changed the the values and shapes, so the whole flow of the composition was gone in the end anyway.
