ehh, fuck her right in the pussy?

Anyone have something for aligning the jaw tip with the cranium for sideview/angle heads?

On a semi-related note, I've come to the conclusion that a difference between male and female heads is that the jaw-cranium connection point seems to be a little higher up on females than males. Am I onto something or am I horrendously off?

I like these threads
please post more, I'm lurking

Anyone got a good tutorials on painting chainmail? Those things are absolutely pain in the ass to draw

or should i just use a texture brush or something

>>2942423

Voala

But does anyone have tutorials about drawing boobs?

>>2942440

But what if I work with traditional mediums?

I don't like tutorials desu. They are often a hindrance to new artists as apposed to helpful.

>>2942627
Yeah me too, while some are helpful i'd prefer general guides rather than step-by-step tutorials

I fucking hate that tutorial and it lights my fuse every damn time. It's 100% about the style side mouth and smart brows thing too. I can't stand when retards try to pontificate on the basis of "style". It's retarded as fuck and I don't know why any cartoonist would ever think it makes them sound smart to discount things people do in cartoons. Especially when more successful cartoonists do the exact things they say you're allegedly not supposed to do.
>pic related

Does anyone have something similar to pic related but more beginner friendly?

I'm trying to start rendering but I can't seem to get it right.

>>2943041

That is a really awful approach to teach.
I suggest you try to forget you ever saw this image.

Look at pic related instead. One of the most fundamental things you need to learn is to first separate light from shadow with in two flat tones and not get distracted by all the mid tones and highlights.

>>2942893
Disney Renaissance has crap tier artists but yes, the side mouth is not only easy to draw, it lets you see more clearly what the mouth is doing, it can function as a staging tool. Smart brows aka Dreamworks face on the other hand is a unnatural stock expression that only few people in real life actually do (like Dwayne the Rock Johnson, pretty easy to see why Disney used him in their latest movie). The guy criticizes stock expressions, but 90% of his expressions are stock; they don't present unique characteristics or have specific contexts.

>>2943311
Alright. Have anything in case I want to move onto color?

Any excersices on pen control excercises?
I feel like my line control is fucked up, i cant do decent shapes without shitty lines
i've tried peter han dynamic sketching for a while (2 hours a day for 2 weeks), but still see no improvements. am i doing something wrong?
>A-am i gonna make it /ic/?

>>2944114
I like to do drills by tracing fundamental shapes from different angles. Yeah yeah, fuck tracing but you're just trying to train your drawing muscles by doing this. Try doing a few drills every day until you start seeing improvement. It's dull as fuck, but try tracing ten squares, circles, and triangles both clockwise and counterclockwise every day. It'll have some effect.

>>2943041
Thats complete BS, dont ever follow this.

Oh shit I forgot I had these

Dunno if they're useful at all but might as well share em

Keep dumpin or naw? I got a few more of these

>>2945395
Keep going, may as well revive the thread. That last one is odd though, I get the idea but, impossible to not notice the dwarf arms.

>>2945397
Okie dokie!

>>2942621
Just draw or paint it, blend the shadows together and only render it where it's important. Dumb gimmicks will look like dumb gimmicks.

I don't remember where I got most of these desu

Here's uh.. one about grapes?

I gotta sift through all 4,463 saved images of mine for more

>>2942179
>>2942182
are there any more resources for how to draw unique characters? Whenever I google character design it's usually about mascots or cartoons.

Found on Kawachi's deviantArt

>>2945513
All tutorials and techniques revolve around the same, playing with basic shapes and imagination. You want to make an alien? start adding around circles and triangles to a basic sketch, then use your head to try to give it shape. Looks like ass most of the times but once you narrow down your own vibe, it gets easier.

>>2945520
i mean like making an iconic or actually unique design, like a video game character or anime that stand out.

>>2945384
Mind if I ask what's wrong with it?

>>2942893
Can you please explain what you mean by "stylized side mouth" Is this referring to the criticism of "flounder face"? Because the artist is in the right here.
>>2943438
>90% of his expressions are stock
Referring to the artist's use of expressions to emote different characteristics, please show me what "stock" expressions are, because in that case every base emotion is "stock"

I don't mean to defend the artist against criticism, but I genuinely don't think the criticism is justified.

not exactly a tutorial but an useful stuff too

>>2945543
>Drink coca-cola

literally going to the fridge rn

>so this...is the power...of tiddy...

>>2946793
Look at his sample comic he uses to show off his expressions. There is nothing to me that gives me the context of the characters being perverted besides their dialogue. They as they shy away from the person they are aroused from they just do stock worried and scared expressions and the guy on the right does a facepalm for some reason (facepalms are really terrible, forced expressions when people make them instantaneous like that). No context to the expressions at all. Every base expression has to be modified some way to make it specific, otherwise it's stock.

Learn it hard way first, then you can use shortcuts like these. I gotta say, i'm really disappointed in krenz for showing that in a tutorial, but that doesn't change the fact that he's got solid fundamentals and could probably just paint it that way

>>2947333
That is not a beginner tutorial. Nothing wrong with using the tools.

There is no such thing as a "body type", only tumblr propaganda

>>2952342
lol, that's really funny. i hope you're serious.

>>2952342
You don't have to be a closed-minded prick about it, anon. I hate Tumblr-ist horse shit as much as the next d/ic/k, but having variety in body sizes and shapes is really important to design, regardless of "tumblr propaganda" and other autistic buzzwords kids like you use.

Any articles/tutorials on Mike Mignola/noir inspired art?

Seems to be cool

>>2937819
Most of the ones that get posted are but once in awhile you find a gem that explains a concept or principle or something like that and it helps things click. These threads are harmless and at any rate it's fun to see other people's processes whether they suck or not. Don't be such a cynic.

i've learned how to digital color just with this thread, thanks 4chan

>>2953484
so true. i usually learn something new when i look through these kinds of threads.

(here is my humble offering)

>>2953593
Same here, even if it's only one in the entire thread's lifespan i still consider them worth having.

Pic related is one that helped concept art type of illustrations like this make a little more sense in terms of how they're made and made me more confident in trial and error experimenting even though I overall think the picture's kinda lame.

What about it exactly?

>>2963346
What the tutorial is supposed to help you do

>>2963348
tells you what hue that part of the face is slightly closer to due to different levels of blood what the fuck else?

>>2963348
Instead of painting the entire face one, flat skin-tone, you should understand that there are subtle shifts in hue in different areas of the face. I suppose that it's more of a reference than a tutorial now that I think of it.

>>2962521
Hopefully you're still watching the thread anon, sorry.

Is something like this what you're looking for? I have a massive folder of infographics from here (another anon dumped them forever ago) so i might have something better i just gotta know what specifically you mean.

>>2960447
>>2960445
please more

>>2963355
"color zones" on the face is a rather high level concept. Please don't become self righteously annoyed because someone doesn't understand a niche technique addressed by a vague infograph that needs prior knowledge to be understood, dumbfuck.

here's a better one. It's from Anatomy for Sculptors - Understanding the Human Figure by Uldis Zarins, I highly recommend the book, it seems to actually understand what people need to know and common mistakes people make instead of 4 pages of flavor text that doesn't really serve a purpose.

get csp or sai, go crazy with the air brush and ereaser

>>2969048
>do this
>all muddy
Need more specific instructions

>>2969053
The other anon is half-right.

You need to start with a HARD brush first to lay down your colors, then graduallly get softer and softer until you're airbrushing to smooth out everything.

Going too soft too soon usually results in muddy colors. It's also possible you're making bad color choices anon, do you might showing an example of your work? Even if you just fudge out a sphere or something.


I had the same problem until i took a digital painting class at my local art school and asked the teacher the same question. Literally changed my work overnight.

>>2969197
This one kinda shows what I mean, looking through my infographics for a better one though (Someone on /ic/ dumped a link to their collection once and it's massive, but i don't have the link anymore just the files)

>>2969205
Here's one in color that shows it well.

The problem with some programs airbrush in my experience (Like sai's) is they add a grey tone to the color to help soften it, which if you're using it from the beginning is going to make your art look dirty in the end. Some programs might not have that issue, and if you're doing a very quickly airbrushed piece (Some jap techniques that are less painted) it won't be an issue either.


really depends. hope this helped you anon

/r/ing ez pz hand tutorial pls

>>2973584
Sure thing mutant

>>2973716
Hand tutorials are kinda silly. By proxy, they are the hardest thing to draw because we stare at them all day. This tutorial gives you a basic idea about the joints and that's it. If anything, it teaches you how to draw hands like the artist.

>>2974981
So post some good ones then.

>>2974993
There are none. You learn how to draw hands by drawing real hands, usually your hand.

>>2975009
Its the best advice, really. Study how your hand bones move, take pictures of your hands and try to make your own simplification out of it.

>>2960763
Worked for Rocket Raccoon. Maybe you just don't know what you're talking about.

>>2974966
>>2948402
Why do people make tutorials on how to make your art uglier? If you want to improve you just need to copy the aesthetics of good anime artists like pic related.

It's such a shame western styles are defined by including so many different kinds of ugliness and calling it "diversity" :'^)

>>2976291
Tutorials are usually to understand and act as a starting point. Not as an end point.

>>2976291
that's clearly traced.

>>2974981
heads are the hardest to draw.

>>2976291
aaaah kill yourself weeb
Anime art is the most boring close-minded style ever. It looks bland, factory-made, flat and uninspired
It's all just the same retarded dead eyes and mongoloid "cute" features
It looks so bland and stupid that it became a gateway to weird degenerate fetishes. It is literally the only thing it's good at : making you live in the delusion that a chick with a 11 inches cock and gigantic udder can somehow have good "aesthetics"
And slowly turning you into a loser completely disconnected from reality
Anime art looks like shit and is undeniably inferior to western comics art
It exists because it is a convenient gimmicky product that artists can draw fast without thinking much about it.
You just like it so much because you have autism

>>2976291
the only "anime" thing about this is the face which is devoid of life. hell, I'd take shadbase over this shit.

>>2976331
marvel style is horrendous and no better than "anime" style (whatever the fuck that is)

>>2976336

Why do all furries have the same exact art style. Especially the paws and face in that lion. Only thing different is the weirdly drawn anatomy that reeks of "I just referenced a muscle chart to make this tutorial, I don't actually know the proportions of the feet or where the shoulder ends".
