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.

Almost infinite space, you can go the full range from perfect human rendering all the way down to "WE NEED TO GO WIDER" down to moeblobs and you can be respectively good or absolute shit at either.

As a general rule however, people who don't know their basic fundamentals will attempt moeblobs and fail miserably - see almost every picture under "chibi" or some other weeb shit on DA.

Consequently people who know what they're doing can probably pull off anything along the range fairly easily. You'll see this a lot in comics, where often certain humorous panels or the ending 4koma will be done in a more stylized technique than the rest of the comic.

I don't know why I typed all of this out.

It doesn't matter. But you can check for yourself.

Pixiv lists the program used on a lot of the entries there. Go through your favorite artists and see if there's a significant difference in quality depending on the program. If you want to get technical and extend that study to include all your favorite sadpandas, clip studio/manga studio probably has the most "made it" artists, but that only makes sense because that's what the program is for.

depends on the level of/style of cartooning
and while i'll agree that what that anon is going for is a bit too flat/underconstructed, something like parappa the rapper is fine because it has strong consistent proportions along with good composition and color theory in the designs

that picture is shit because the eyes are fucking symbols and there was no underlying construction for the face, or skull, or hair volume, or really anything at all. It's all guesswork with not much thought put into the placement of facial features. The entire thing is a series of flat lines slapped on top of each other and rendered sloppily.

parappa the rapper isn't even a good example because in game he's a flat piece of flexible paper which is pretty much where that drawing is in terms of quality

Listen to the other anons. Another issue they haven't pointed out is that your drawing lacks any hard edges. Its all so soft and looks blurry as a result. General rule of thumb is that edges get sharper at the point of interest, for your image that would probably be the eyes.

1. you emphasize the eyelids, but you aren't putting enough emphasis on the pupils themselves. there are many ways to do this, but yours look dead, flat and like symbols
2. how are the light spots on the pupils on opposite sides? it (normally) does not work that way. this much autism is not allowed.
3. ears should be lower. even more so in this angle. not necessarily as low as i did, but lower than what you did.

eyes are too apart for my taste but eh.
i won't even get into the body, but at least fix the faces. do some face studies. go to the beginner thread.

huh, that's probably because i changed the cheeks without changing much else. it does look a little bug eyed thanks to that.

when doing thin lines, turn your min size of the brush up more, but let opacity run the full gambit
pay attention to your line weight, where it gets thin and where it gets thick are very important and you are not paying attention to that

You need to draw the core values of what makes a human body a human body, and what gives us our shapes. The head torso and the hips are the three main components in drawing a correct looking human body. Look up sycra on youtube it helps out alot.

Cozy as fuck but perspective is wonky

The guy and the fireplace is not on the same plane.

It's hard the read the surroundings due to perspective failure

I assume the top right part is supposed to be a lake (at least a body of water) with moonlight reflection, but it's hard to read its actual position and distance

seriously, try to draw a horizon line and rough perspective lines for the objects.
