I don't have any comics yet but can I post my conceptual shit that I"m trying to base a comic off of?

>>2715194
as (you) wish

do i have any way to delete my posts after a while if i post a 7 pages comic

>>2715786
put it on an imgur album and link it

am I dumb for not understand this?

>>2715827
i'm trying out stuff, it may not be 100% clear

what seems to be the problem?

>>2715822
that made me kek, the other anon is just dumb

>>2715827
It's okay not to understand, Anon. I don't 'get' vaporwave, myself.

>>2715822
fucking nice

she used to get fucked by this guy held by that leash. she mistook that leash with the one belonging to her dog. once she realized her mistake, she ran off.

now the anon who drew this. I fucking love this, great style and fun story. any more?

>>2716053
she ran off, ordered a dildo on amazon (look at the reflection on her glasses at the last panel) and forgot about the dog

>>2716026

>>2716026
I don't get it

One would think that people would try to learn to draw or do flat simple pics to not make it look like an amputee with Parkinson.
Also their sticky of its general is shit

>>2715194
so ?

>>2716123
>>2715827

what is it with faggots who can't read comics

>>2716162
>amputee with Parkinson
I'm normally not trying to disrupt comfy threads but this just nails the issue with those comics.

>>2715822
Oh man, that was great. Thanks for the laugh.
Do you mind me asking what your process is?
(do you sketch it out first? What program do you use?)

>>2715822
Funny, but what is she looking up online in the end there, dildos?

>>2716162
You can go to nearly any board outside of /ic/ and you'll see shitty art being praised left and right. I once went to check out a /k/ drawthread because I was drawing planes at the time and so were people in the thread. 90% of the pictures had no understanding of perspective or proportion and were just poor attempts of copying photos. Some of the artists even admitted to tracing their pictures, showing some semblance of guilt, but the other posters told them there's nothing wrong with tracing and that artists do it all the time.
It looked like everyone was having a good time, so I left silently and never looked back.

>>2716482
>tfw go to v, co, and a draw threads and a good chunk of people are better than you
But even if you're shit, people still thank you.

>>2716469
yes, sketch it first, once really quick on paper, then slower, then sketch it on photoshop, then draw it all clean, all on photoshop with basically thehard round brush and the eraser, and a little soft brush.

>>2716480
yes

>>2716053
thanks for clearing that up anon

to op - your illustration is awesome but the storytelling could be improved a little.

>>2716648
I disagree, I thought the storytelling was great. It's subtle - doesn't spoon-feed us. You just have to pay closer attention to images in a comic with no dialogue. Their expressions give us more than enough info to figure out what's going on though.

>>2716648
>>2716693
thanks a lot. i agree that it needs to flow better because this is one of the simplest stories i wanted to tell, and from the reactions i see here and elsewhere some people find it crystal clear and others are totally confused. i"ll find a balance, the next one will be better.

>>2716168
Sorry, I looked at my stuff again and thought it looked too dumb to post. I'll put them up though. I'm looking into taking some art classes, been reading the sticky and trying to practice that stuff first.

>>2717158
Just an idea for a robot, I was trying to base it off of a hand but also trying to avoid having it look like a tachikoma.

>>2717158
>>2717159
peachy

>>2715827
yes anon, your dumb and cant read the most universal language in the world, drawings

>>2717159
Here's another one I did to put the robot in a confrontation. I think the lack of detail in the structures is one of the reasons I don't like looking a this one. Might as well post it though.

>>2717235
Makes me think of akira a little, don't put details in just for the sake of it, but it could be more alive. Have fun with the architecture. Nothing is too dumb, you can't know what will speak to somebody. You need to upgrade your production value but really it's not bad. You seem lile you can put in the amount of work necessary, i believe in you

>>2716026
ily though

>>2717319
Thank you, I appreciate that. How do you think I could upgrade the production value? I just bought a copic multiliner to try out, and I have been working on some grey toned paper. The paper isn't really for a specific look, it's just the only sketchbook I have right now.

First comic I did in this kind of style. Any kind of critique is appreciated.
Also, p1 is done without preliminary sketch, p2 has a rough pass. Is the style good enough for direct inking, or is it too messy?

Lol chode, but yeah awesome stuff dude

>>2717821
>>2717823
Well drawn, as usual, however the panels do not flow smoothly at all. Make sure youre panelling with intent to lead the eye and not just trasitioning between panels for the sake of transitioning. I feel like the pacing is good but something is off, maybe the body language? For instance in the last three of page two, i had to look at it for a second before understanding what had happened. The formula used there of Rest>Action>Rest wasnt very effective and wouldve worked better as Rest>Rest>Action>Rest or even Action>Action>Rest

my 2 cents

>>2717103
I like how it looks with the background scenery, but I feel that the panels that don't have a background it feels like their rather empty. I feel even a couple of texture lines would do you better justice to compliment the landscape panels that have so much work in them

>>2717858
Great critique. I had the same thoughts, but I simply ran out of space. Probably I should have gone with smaller panels for the sake of pacing. You are absolutely right.

>>2717821
Call me Princess Zelda, 'cause I need a Link.

>>2717330
I don't know exactly how you made the drawing of the guy leaning on the balcony, but it seems like if it was scanned better and savec in a better format it would probably be pretty good in terms of image quality and "production value" . but it's been a long time since i drew anything on paper that wasn't a quick sketch so i'm not the best to answer

>>2717915
Good idea, I will try to find a scanner soon. It's in grey toned paper and I just took a picture of it with my phone. Thank you.

>>2717859
I think I see what you mean. You're talking about the background space around the characters, right? I thought maybe too much info would distract the character interaction, or make the panels seem "too busy" but thanks for that. I'll keep experimenting with my backgrounds.

>>2717821
>>2717823
what's the splat on the guy's chest?

>>2717988
I think that hair, same splat is on his groin.

>>2717988
It's supposed to be moss.

>>2718216
It'd be nice to see a bit more of it speard across the body in smaller clomps. Also if it looked a bit hairyish and subtle, like a messy buzz cut imo

>>2717986
Keep it up amigo, I'd like to see what happens next!

>>2719328
this is kickass

>>2717103
Just read it, pretty good senpai.

Damn, that's a good idea.

Made this furshit comic some times ago. Quality isn't great but it takes time to get good.

>>2719683
this is amazing

>>2719328
>>2719683
this is cool

I think I lurked enough to post now.

>>2719870
Who's this artist?
I'm amazed by this, do you have a website?

>>2719764
It's not too bad, but style aside it needs work on anatomy.

>>2719328
>>2719683
hilarious dude, got any more?

>>2720013
Working on more, yeah. 24 pages total.

>>2719764
I'd fap senpai. Got other works?

>>2717821
>>2717823
Do you have a link for these and your other works?

>>2721064
Nice

>>2716026
Hit me right in the heart. Remimds me too much of my own childhood.

>>2716162
/co/ draw threads are full of ugly ass Calarts inspired drawfags. Thats why I never post my art there.

>>2721064
Well drawn, but you might want to get some reference materials on weapons for use in the future.

There's absolutely no way 2/3 of those arrows would have any power or fly straight (especially with those angles), they should be far closer together (almost parallel to each other), but you made the arrowheads far too big to do that. Plus the form is completely wrong, in both the character's shooting stance (which would have no draw power) and the way he's positioned his arrows; traditionally you place arrows on the "outside" over the knuckle, especially when you're aiming the bow sideways like the character (the arrows aren't resting on the bow, so maintaining a steady arrow to shoot in a straight line is far, far harder). It's a common movie misconception to shoot arrows from the "inside" of the bow, even modern Olympic bows are designed to shoot from the outside.

>>2719683
So is this a Jojo parody or a Dragonball parody?

>>2722135
An election parody.

>>2717821
>>2717823
Link?

>>2716026
This is not 3DS, I hate you mom REEEEEEEE

>>2717159
I tried to redo my drawing in a larger scale. Really fucked up the floor.
I can't tell if the robot looks way too big for the hallway or not.

>>2722811
fugg, forgot picture lol

I'm a degenerate and wanted to know how to do speediness like in American superhero comics and manga.

Old simple thing I made like 1o years ago. Never make comics.

>>2722812
Big fan of this. Reminds me of Joseph Kelly and heavy metal stuff.

is it me or does clicking on the image not take you to the next page? (trying to read from chapter 1)

if so, pls fix

>>2725210
I had it set so that it does. Let me try figuring out the problem.

>>2725210
>>2725471
So I double checked the settings, and it says click navigation is enabled. But for some odd reason it isn't working.

Keyboard navigation works tho.

something made today

>>2725807
Ayyyy

I didn't make this, a friend did. What do you think?

Pitching it to Studio Bonez, hopefully they'll make an anime out of it.

>>2721788
>It's a common movie misconception
It's called "Entertainment Design". Same as the placement of the three arrows. As usual /ic/ missing the mark (heh) where realism and fantasy meet.

>>2722812
>reads "How to Draw" once
ayy lmao

Anyone know of any resources for learning to ink like 90's western comics? Something with a lot of heavy blacks.

>>2715822

>http://imgur.com/a/AEwjJ

I would donate to you making that, that was awesome.

>>2729071
nice to hear, i hope publishers will think the same

>>2727605
Tell your friend to stop being such a fucking weeaboo. Also Loomis.

>>2728997

Post examples of inkers you want to emulate.

>>2731205
Something like Doug TenNapel or Todd McFarlane is what I had in mind.

Still in the process of coloring my comic. Fuck flatting.

>>2728997
Pic related isn't about 90's ink but it'll give you an idea where does the heavy black go and why
The simplest way to put it is that you must compose with black, gray and white without two equal tones touching.

>>2731633
I'll look into that, thanks.

>>2717823
niceeeeeeeeeee

>>2717235
mark crilley perspective vid, nice

Heres something I drew for a class once. Sorry for the lame picture its all i have left of it.

I got a comic, but its cringy as fuck if your not a fan. And even if you are, it's still cringy.

But if you guys wana remind me how much of a useless piece of shit I am, I'll indulge.

>>2716026

Hello SIR

This is beautiful

pls no bully

http://www.lezhin.com/en/comic/1st_us_contest_theworld

Doing this was pretty fun but drawing in this style was kinda difficult.

>>2733873
why did you chose to host it on lezhin? is it just because of the contest? i'm just trying to weigh which is the best site to upload comics

>>2721064
ha ha ha nice thanks for that!

>>2731272
This looks pretty good,anon
I wish I had your patience

>>2731272
This looks great so far keep it up man

>>2734132
Just because of the contest. They don't take submissions, as far as I know.

I'm a bit torn on the site, in one hand it's great content but I don't know if western audiences are ready to pay for webcomics, you know?

>>2734132
>>2734236

Ah, sorry anon, yes, you can send them submissions. You have to give them 4 full chapters and a synopsis of your series.

each chapter must have 70+ panels. Or at least, that's the lenght they ask for in the contests.

>>2716026
>not being able to afford a 250$ toy in a first world country in modern days where the dollar is worthless
Literally what the fuck?

>>2717859
>>2717986
According to what they do in manga, the BG isn't needed in every single panel.

How to properly set up a page? Which size? Do I resize it when I´m done? I dont want shit to become a pixelated mess because my document was too small/big.

>>2734814
Food stamp pariahs

>>2734875
Start big and scale the end result down. You lose some detail on the final piece, but it also helps to hide some of the minor mistakes. Whatever you do, don't start small and scale it up.

They're not that good, but here's one.

>>2715822
>http://imgur.com/a/AEwjJ
this is p good, thanks for the kek

I drew this for a friend. It only has one page though.

>>2736916
The naked grampa on the toilet in the first panel makes this a rather anticlimactic fight.

>>2734814
Probably Australian dollarinos

HOLY SHIT MY FEELINGS!

Dudes i had an idea for a ww3 comic. and since i struggle with faces, if i get bodies down, maybe the people being faceless could be a theme?

>>2742042
Or, you could study faces. Using your lack of knowledge like that will become obvious pretty quickly it wont look like a choice it will look like youre terrible.

>>2742042
all soldiers in war are faceless men
