Huh?

oh, thought this was the /beg/ thread for a sec with that OP.

Do Eastern artists follow Loomis and other Western lessons as much as we do? Or do they have their own collection of teachers that they jerk off to?

>>3982161
It may still be, post your work.

>>3982165

Got’em

Wew all done

>>3982234
Looking great but character design feels a little empty. Incorporate more feathers or "bone" armor. Maybe even a little bird buddy on his shoulder as some birds are seen "cleaning" the teeth of alligators. Show off some more elements that would make him look like a sorcerer or shaman. Some books, potions, etc.

>>3982179
I didn't know that namori sensei was a crab too!!

i'm trying to get a handle on rendering in a proper process. hard round brush is the best
i suck at actual painting and mixing colors, thankfully there's a nice aesthetic with these solid color blocks.
any advice?

also wanted to ask how do you guys fill a line drawing with a base color efficiently? i used to trace the edges with a solid brush and then just fill the enclosure, but i guess if the lines are clean enough to permit it you could just paintbucket it. usually there are some small gaps between my lines which disallows that

>>3982273
magic wand the whole thing > shrink selection by a couple pixels > paint bucket > start painting everything individually while having the filled layer selected so it doesn't spill.

>>3982273
I select the whole thing, then magic wand the parts that I don't want filled in. When that's done, I shrink and blur the selection, and fill bucket whatever's left.

>>3982218
No la tienen en rubia?

>>3982218
estoy tan enamorado de mi negra preciosa

>>3982273
People here always make it so damn complicated.

Literally just fill your picture with 1 color, hide the layer and select the outside of the lines, then show the layer again and cut it all out with Ctrl+X. Erase/clean up the rest as necessary, you'll never have a perfect cut depending on the lines ofc.

dont think i used dark enough values, it's a recurring problem. also going to have to play around with the color and opacity of the lines

Line work is mostly done. I have no idea where I’m going with the color with this. As it’s a space suit I’d figured default white/grey but that seem boring and generic. Any ideas would be welcome.

>>3982352
Looking good

>>3982444
I’m in the same boat as you as I’m trying to better my rendering and lighting. Shits hard sometimes.

tried desaturating the lines, darkening shadows and adding a bit of a cast shadow. though i'm realizing some of that reflected light shouldn't be there, i don't want to get rid of it so i guess i should remove the cast shadow, as if the floor is glowing?

>>3982270
>>3982444
>>3982538
You gonna post another one every time you add a brush stroke? Fuck.

update, added a purple thing in the back, thought it looked nice. what do you think?

>>3982510
why are you trying to stylize when you don't understand anatomy or even how to render basic forms in 2d space, /beg/-kun

>>3982553
I’m just drawing guy. It’s what I enjoy thanks for the feedback.

>>3982224
Yay I found your Instagram. You're awesome
>>3982548
Curious to see how this develops. Regarding the lightening, is the floor actually glowing or just reflecting the light from above? If it's the first one then yeah, I'd definitely tone down the cast shadow and add some glowing on their face. If it's the latter then the blueish reflections on the body need to be more subtle, and that whole area around his crotch should be dark. But overall you seem to know what you're doing soo... Good work!!

I was sketching this all night, super-tired, gonna color over the weekend

made something else, wanted to have a dark background but it just wouldn't read well whether i tried changing the color of the lines or highlights
>>3982700
i believe the floor isn't supposed to be glowing and it's just kind of a spotlight, but i really like the look of the lighting around the crotch. guess i'm just gonna have to reduce it and hope it still looks good

Thanks to the anons who complimented my work in the last thread

Still a wip but working on it. What do you think of it?

Does this look ok so far?

I think the chest is a slight bit off could be stylized better other than that it is pretty neat. Reminds me of Rogue the bat in Sonic Adventure 2 for some reason.

This is gonna be epic. Keep going Anon
>>3982700
Continued. I don't usually add this much texture so this is a bit of an experimental piece. What do you think?

>>3982164

Great question... I'm interested in the software that they use to draw with the PC too (they must have their specific brands different from Illustrator and Photoshop).

Posted this in an earlier alt thread but it was as the thread was dying. Rough drawing but I'll be straight with you alt, this is about as good as it gets from me right now, and is the first thing I've drawn in days I'm fairly happy with.

I don't know what area to focus on for future development. I feel like just drawing and getting mileage isnt helping enough but there's so many directions to go from where I'm at. My weakest areas are easily expressions, color, shading and perspective so if anyone has any good strategies for practicing those things other than just draw I'd really appreciate it. /blog

>>3982164
yes

>>3983213
My final update on this, it felt a bit too dark

>>3983283
I like it but they all have the same expression.

>>3983288
Hm that's a good point. I'll make sure not to make this mistake again.

Her expression is disturbing, like she has no sense of self. Completely vacant of any human emotion.

>>3982154
any good books for painting anime girls?

Figured I'd post this here.

Dunno if I should continue working on this or if I'm just polishing a turd drawing and would be better to just move on.

saw the trailer and got excited

>>3983602
Best in thread, good job

planning out my colors

>>3983597
i've seen all kinds of monstergirls but never saw poopgirl before

>>3983113
Funny you mention rouge. I used to draw tons of sonic charecters and i am so used to drawing big heads and hands now. I always have to go back and shrink them to less wacky proportions.

The breasts are killing me, just can't seem to figure them out
Each pair is supposed to be the same size but they look uneven, been picking at it for the past while

>>3983130
Great stuff as always
>>3983602
cute and well done anon, also really like the flowers
>>3982224
I've been wondering if these designs are for something, they're very well done and all come together really nicely

>>3983623
cute, looks ok now with the colors
>>3983602
those ears are fuckin lewd

Can this pass as manga? I'm kinda self conscious about it still being western

>>3983747
Not really, but you should focus more on improving your lineart, drapery, and sense of form at this point. The folds on that shirt really don't make a lot of sense.

>>3983747
Don't even worry about that, just grind a lil bit for now

I could use some feedback, which of these goblin girls has the most pleasing rendering style?

>>3983767
Pink haired one, I like how the light is strong on it but it still has vibrant colors unlike the Tifa one where the green is more dead. Those are all valid though for different things but pink pleases me more.

>>3983767
Cowgirl

The work continues. Should be finished Chapter 1 by August at the latest.

As always, actionable feedback more than welcome. I struggled to figure out how this painting should look like a painting, particularly with the sun from the right hand windows.

>>3983771
Here, I wasn't sure exactly how best to make "moonlit night" light in greyscale--pure white didn't seem grim enough. I guess blueish tones are the go to for night light.

Also, in case anyone is intrigued:

I see, thanks. Tifa I made more blue than the other 3, that might be why she comes off zombie-ish.
>>3983771
Kek, so many people have been able to recognize her.

>>3983721
Ah jeez I completely fucked up the forms with the breasts, I'll try going back to the original smaller ones

feast your eyes bitch
any criticism?

>>3983853
This thumbnails poorly and is difficult to read even at full size. I think need more hard edges and contrast to foreground of the image, and likewise less contrast and softer edges to push things into the background. As it is, they all appear to be at the same depth and detail level, creating a lot of visual noise that makes the image difficult to look at.

>>3983853
hideous

>>3983852
possibly a bit better

>>3983878
better or worse? tried adding more contrast. i wasn't sure how to give the ones further from the back softer edges so i just slapped radial blurs onto each, using their centers of mass as focal points. doesn't look quite right though. i see what you mean in the original, don't know how to fix it properly besides painting over some parts with a softer brush
>>3983904
dilate

>>3983946
Not him but just let it go and move on to the next piece, stop trying to save a turd by polishing it to death. All these chromatic aberrations, focal blurs, lens flare and other gimmicks will not save a fundamentally flawed piece at the composition level. There's too much noise, difficult to read, the eyes go all over the fucking place due to the clusterfuck you made and the use of pure black to provide shadow on the figures blending in with the background does not help one fucking bit.

It's shit.

>>3983853
I'd try colorizing each layer to a flat color so you end up with fully blue, green and magenta characters, then getting rid of so many sparkles. It would be readable that way. It's just that each character design has too much going on and they clash, if they were flat colored it'd be less cramped.

>>3983951
is this better tranny?

>>3983964
It unironically is because now the eyes are lead to the figure in the middle. You managed to place a cherry on top of a heaping pile of shit, kudos. Now take out whatever hair that's up your ass and stop projecting.

>>3983969

MODS MODS MODS
UNDERAGE ALERT

>>3983946
I was kind of thinking something like this, I just added some darken layers of different opacities over the background characters and edges of the spotlight. It's not perfect but I think it gets closer to creating a readable focal point.

Also stop being a butthead.

>>3984000
Damn that is so much better. Stop helping that faggot.

>>3984000
Nice dog. Now sit.

>>3984000
thank you my good anon, i see what you mean now. though it is not exactly faithful to the source material, it looks much better. I was trying to fit in any way possible this feeling into an environment relevant to the game, but i didn't have the forethought to adequately plan ahead, i'll keep it in mind in the future
>>3984004
>>3984020
wanna know how I can tell you're trannies? if it were up to you you'd staunch my development on the basis that i called you a tranny. god bless everyone in this thread, tranny or not.

>>3984020
What does this even mean

>>3984034
he is calling you an obedient dog for going to the effort of helping me out while he was busy autofellating

>>3983784
post your work on webtoon

>>3983975
not that guy but the problem with your original isnt the multiple focal points, its that all your figures, regardless of how far back, had the same level of contrast and saturation. I honestly couldnt tell what all was happening until i really stared at parts.

>>3983788
Draft of the next page, which I think has a lot of promise.

>>3984043
I post on Tapas and Webtoon, and Smackjeeves and Comicfury out of a sense of obligation, I guess. I expect to finish my site in August.

>>3984047
oh i understand exactly now, i remember i learned about this at some point but i never applied it. so things farther away would meld further into the color of the background because of the increasing volume of air and stuff in between the viewer and the object
i can see how the initial pic is confusing especially where the characters overlap, i'll remember this in the future

More STUFF for COMICS

Maybe this will post the right orientation

>>3983597
it doesnt matter how you render her "tail", or how you texture it. it has the shape of a poo

she looks like a poo
im sorry anon

>>3982352
dude what is going on here? she looks like you drew separate pieces for everything and then stuck them together

i normally hate doing linework but this is actually turning out to be fun

Not fond of the colors, each time I try to pick some they are either too saturated or too dull especially the purple of the dress here :(

>>3984287
working on a pure white background is only going to make that more difficult

>>3984287
boosted saturation on the dress and the hair, do you think it looks better? I have no clue about this stuff, just trying to help out

>>3984287
You can play around with the colors in sai by making hue/saturation/etc layers and experimenting with it

>>3984122
I like! Cool shapes and poses.
Simplify the feathered calves.

>>3984452
I feel like, it would look better if you boost the contrast more

>>3984164
I could see this being a graphic for a mobile game with a restaurant or something.
>>3983918
I like the skull a lot. the eye sockets are really cool looking. It needs darker darks though. I'm guessing you're still sketching, so whatever. Looks nice!
>>3983821
That's a nice crease on the butt. It'll look great when the flat colors on the outfit is rendered out.

Doctor I'm telling you
To cut me open please
Doctor I'm begging you
To bring me to my knees
Tear out all my flesh
And all my bones
Make me your cold machine
So I can walk alone
I want you so bad
I can't stand
The man that I am
Got this riddle figured (Do you?)
Someone must have sent you to
Orchestrate a shell game
Against the callouses of our hearts
I hate your subtle beauty (Do you?)
The way your doe eyes slow dance me
And beat like a million humming birds
When I draw closer
And the slope of your nose I detest
It's the kind that drove pharaohs crazy
Touch me I'm a hornet's nest
Sinking in Egyptian levies
Most of all I hate the way that I miss your sight
More than a blind man would miss his own eyes
Oh my, oh no
How can I be so shameless?
And let myself fall so
Impossibly for you
Oh my, oh no
How can I be so shameless?
It's 'cause I've learned that need deceives
And you are what I want

>>3984490
i did that

>>3983222
Yes they use a program that's not available to us westerners. Its call バカ外人. Look it up, it has all these neat features and pre-made brushes that allow them to render so well.

>>3984021
Are you underaged or retarded?

>>3983130
That's a real big like from me friendo

>>3983602
Wait what? Is there a new Zelda game coming?

Just a sketch. Gonna try to clean up and color top left.

>>3984000
>>3984047
thank you for the assistance, i've changed some things and now it should read much better
>>3984715
i assume you're referring to my particular usage of words?
when i say tranny i don't mean it in the traditional sense, i think of it as a state of mind.
it's a psychological aberration, one that makes the tranny hostile to those legitimately seeking to improve or grow in some way, and it often also dulls their sense of humor.
all trannies are faggots, all faggots have crabs, and therefore all crabs are trannies. i call it the transexual property.

>>3984385
Thank you anon
>Simplify the feathered calves.
That's what I struggled with the most when drawing it and I guess it shows.

>>3984715
both probably

>>3984772
Shut the fuck up retard. Go improve your anatomy and fix your muddy colors before you start calling people trannies you redditor.

>>3984898
i'm starting to think you really are a tranny. having skin that thin indicates you're closer to being a redditor than i am.
either way, good job finally contributing something resembling criticism. however i fail to see anything wrong with my anatomy. care to redline, or you going to continue frothing at the mouth at the sight of work superior to yours?
how long until you let a bit of humor into your life, man?

>>3984948
>Calling anyone who disagrees with you a tranny is just being funny and not you being a dumb /v/ermin faggot from reddit
I'm not even the person that was replying to you when you where spamming the thread with your process. You don't deserve a redline nigger. I know you think your troll those discord trannies, but you sound like your balls just dropped kid.

>>3982154
What can I add to the composition to make it more interesting? I'm taking myself out of my comfort zone with this and want to go all out

>>3984985
i don't come here to troll anyone you fucking retard, i come here to get crits so i can get better. i posted something i spent some time on, trying to get a handle on rendering. cue some faggot bringing banter without anything of substance, and whining about it when i reciprocate.
notice how the only anons who took the time to give me specific, intelligible advice were those who weren't tripping over themselves trying to get the last word in an autistic online argument. also notice how i followed their advice and as a result improved my work.
get your head out of your ass, i'm here to post my work first and foremost, but if some retard wants to get in a name calling match i don't have any reason not to kill some time flinging shit (and increasing the possibility that someone with at least a double digit iq will see my work and properly tell me what's wrong with it, rather than sperging out)

>>3985045
Not him, but will you stop being a fucking sperg? Everytime I come across these threads I see you in a babble just like you're doing now. Fuck off back to wherever you came from you're clearly not here to receive critiques instead you're here to shitpost.

>>3985053
this is the first thread where i've made more than a few posts, or bothered to respond to a crab. and yet again you replied without reading my post, or are you just trying to be a broken record? if you want me to fuck off all you have to do is tell me what i have to do to make a better piece next time. either way i'll keep posting here for as long as I'm not satisfied with my art, and then some.

I need to just colour it now I guess. Cant help but feel i forgot something though.

No Anon you need to lurk moar. You need to think about what others are trying to tell you. You spammed this thread begging for advice and you were called out on that by other Anons for being annoying along with criticism on how to improve. You have to accept that sometimes you will not get advice the way you want here when you act the way you do. It's part of growing up and taking criticism. If you can barely handle what people tell you here. How do you ever expect to make it as an artist in the real world? By calling everyone Trannies? And looking like a sperg? By trying the "no U" tactic and then complain on the other hand of everything being unfair?
>>3985080
>If you want me to fuck off all you have to do is tell me what i have to do to make a better piece next time. either way i'll keep posting here for as long as I'm not satisfied with my art, and then some.
You do not get to decide if you want to stay, if you are annoying and spam the thread the Janitors will not bother to keep you here. And the community here will complain about it. Think before you post and try to adhere to the community. If you can not do so then do not even bother coming here.

>>3983228
i suggest practicing drawing clear forms so it reads more 3D. the biggest thing im seeing now in your drawing is the tendency to draw a bunch of designs and shapes that are interesting, but you dont really understand how it might look in perspective. for example those back vent flaps and the shoulder spikes and the spine strip thing. once you figure out how to communicate forms clearly your image will look more polished and professional

what do you think about this coloring/rendering style, i usually ruin my line art whenever i color but i really want to be able to do colors and not just be stuck with lines

>>3985153
Reminds me of soft version of comic book style. But I do think it could be a bit more gritty on the sheath and the rifle itself to look like it has scratches.

>>3985146
to be frank with you, i've been posting here for a few years and haven't ever had myself devolve into this.
really i was just upset that some anons either gave me vague and noncommital advice like "improve your anatomy," or otherwise just an insult, in response to something i was proud of and wanted to get decent learning mileage out of.
anyway, i shouldn't have started shit over a shitty practice painting, but i was frustrated cause i felt like if i didn't get adequate enough advice to understand EXACTLY what it was that i did wrong then those mistakes would carry over to my next piece.
now looking back, i realized i'm actually a sperg having clogged up half this thread with my posts, taking something an anon said personally and trying to save face while everyone else is trying to get crits and mostly just staying silent hoping i'd leave or stop.
not to say i agree with everything that's been said about the pic i posted but i did get some crits that i do consider to be great (like remembering composition before i even start a drawing, or objects in the back being less saturated and darker), and i really think i benefitted from this thread despite everything.
you won't see this kind of behavior from me anymore, but before we go on with our day make sure to read the first letter of every sentence.

but for real though, i posted my work, some anon called it disgusting without any advice to accompany it, i responded with a quip of the sort of quality you'd see on /v/ and it went downhill from there. tranny is just the most recent/novel insult i've heard so i stuck with it, which made it look like i as projecting.
i'm just not confident in my own process, that's why i posted so many iterations of my pic, i was nervous that at every single stage something could be off and so i incessantly shovelled it in here hoping that someone would spot an error. if another poster acted like i did, i'd want him to leave too. sorry for wasting everyone's time

>>3985209
Not your personal blog. Fuck off back to DA already.

>>3985209

>>3985209
ive always lived by the motto that indifference is more damning than hatred. if you dont like a feedback then just ignore it. to be so irrelevant and pointless that not one person cares hurts more than being able to trigger a negative response from others. and its obvious that someone giving a meme crit is looking for a negative reaction, dont give them the satisfaction.

>>3985209

Its amazing how hotbeds of degeneracy such as /aco and /h go out of their fucking way to keep this shit out, yet the mods here are asleep at the wheel. This is what we are stuck with until they start enforcing GB3.

Until we get a competent clean up crew, this disease-riddled shit goes right back up the /btards collective ass regardless if the artist can muster the most basic fundamentals.

imagine being so mad that the ugly art you spam in every single thread doesn't get replies that you yell at actually skilled artists like fisher and shit up threads because of "MUH DEGENERACY!!!!!!!!!"

Sound off if you're having trouble reporting. I managed to get it to work.

Look around the boards more; sentiments against pornography in general have hit a new high and even more so for GB3 violations.

>>3985783
I thought I should probably say something to preface my post. Does anybody draw comic? Or is this not the right thread for it?

>>3985783
This is good. Though, won't it be better if the in the last picture girl was on the left and monster on the right ?

>>3985997
Sounds like a good idea, it'll probably improve the direction of the page flow and varying up the way it reads relative to its previous page.

Although it'll be a little rough to do that kind off change after adding so much detail. This is probably something that needed to be caught when it was still pretty much in stick figure phase. I wonder if I can just mirror that one panel.

... I just realize the deadline I set for myself for page 2_38 is today. I am still working on previous page.

got some good ol' lank and zalda

>>3986426
I like the rendering on the hair, though I feel the lineweight could be better. Also Zelda's face seems flat, likely because there are no brow or nose shadows

>>3986437
thanks for the crit, i'll look into it next time heheh

>>3986389
thats really encouraging, thanks
it has to be done by wednesday so you'll see the final product

>>3986426
I am not sure why you quoted my post, it seems unrelated. There is an amazing zelda drawing earlier in the thread might be much more appropriate as a response to?

Although I do have some thoughts about the drawing if you don't mind. There are different things that can be comment on, but I will focus on the profile of her cheek for the moment because it jumps out at me the most.

I will say the way you draw that particular profile is typical of some of the 90s visual novel character designs, I suspect the reason they jetted out from the cheek like that is because they needed to composite that part of the character sprites and fit it on mutlipe characters.

In either case, personally I would have brought the cheek outward and upward so it will begin it curve at the edge of the eye socket. On the top side, watch for the division between the forehead and the brow ridge, I think if you get the silhouette of these component correctly your character face might not look as tilted. Although I think you can still work in the lower cheek look as a personal style, its just not something i personally found attractive.

>>3986460
idk i meant to reply to OP
no offense, but that looks kind weird lol. i saw the character model and i didnt like the cheek bulge

>>3986464
Well, just check the placement of your brow ridge, I guess, that was the main thing.

This has potential for a great piece, but think through your shading more.

>>3986533
I'm trying to figure out coloring and shading as I go, so I could use tips if you've gottem.

>>3986534
not him but you appear to be using a top right light source so at least that's consistent

Regarding shading, the workflow I typically use starts with modifying lineweight (heavier on closer objects and on the leeward side of objects), then darkening areas that are close together (folds of skin/clothing, the parts between hair decorations and hair, areas where zippers come together) to prevent that weird "floating layer" effect and to ground the geometry. I think people call this ambient occlusion.

Next up is simple geometry shading (which you kind of have done), with the darkest block on the leeward side and the wayward side untouched/left bright. Block out a centerline which separates the two rather than just starting from the edge and blending it out, then shade everything wayward of that centerline with one tone. At this point your drawing should already look well shaded and you can stop here without blending. Note that for more reflective surfaces, the very edge is slightly lighter than the core shadow as you get those skimming low-incidence reflections and may even be highlight for metallic pipes with backlight.

Finally, do cast shadows, which you seem to have forgotten. Draw lines from your geometry away from your light source and shade what they cover (e.g. under the skirt, under her right arm, the neck, below the hair twintail on the right side, under the left flap of the coat, under the breasts, etc), which helps place the order of things.

Other people's workflows are probably different and more efficient but this is mine.

>>3986551
ps. note that cast shadows for anything more geometrically complicated than tubes like arms/legs are really "computationally expensive", which basically means you have to think super hard about what shadow shape the casting object makes, as well as how that flat shape is deformed by being projected on whatever 3d surface it's casting on (i.e. the curve of breasts). Expect to fuck up a lot.

Ditto with mirrors, actually. You'll have to think a bit and you'll probably fuck it up many times.

>>3986559
pps. cast shadows are almost always hard edged, unless the surface they're cast on gradually slopes away and/or you have multiple/nonpoint/nonparallel light sources

>>3986551
>>3986559
>>3986563
Well, that seems about 6,000% further along than I am now, but I’ll definitely keep it in mind for later.

I have been trying to get into making comics but going from pin ups to drawing in panels is harder then i thought it would be.

Do you have any advice or book/tutorials recommendations?

>>3985090
She looks like a amputee. I dont thing legs work like that.

>>3985090
Cute, but smaller arms and don’t hide the legs.

Working on figuring out how to into comics myself too.

>>3986611
I wast trying too, I dont know what else to do with em. She is supposed to be kneeling down and using the sword as a support. The angle is intended to be you looking down at here from above. Either way, I agree the hands and arms are too big. Also I already started trying to color (something im also very new at) it so im not really interested in changing the arms even if its fucked up.

But im still totally down to mess around with the legs if you can be more specific. Even if it means erasing a bunch.

I made an alternate color scheme, I think the hair turned out better. Still trying to grasp rendering.

>>3986611
Nifty, do you have a blog? I would love to follow your process/progress as that my own end goal.

Creating a comic that is.

>>3986647
Maybe someone could give a redline as to what to fix.

wassup niggas

>>3986569
I probably don't have any new things to add, unfortunately. I am sure you have heard it before, but I recommend Scott McCloud's "making comic", and additionally, you can also read a bit of Bakuman, while its author have some strangely old fashion ideas about relationships, its still interesting insight to the creative process. What I found most helpful is their process of writing story by directly writing in a storyboard, or "na-me".

Storyboard in this instance means a simple representation of your comic, it should contain panel layout, dialogues and simple placement of each characters in panels in relation to one another, even if its just stick figure with label on them should be fine. Even if your comic is only a few pages long it would be a good idea to do this first if you don't already have a concrete idea about where everything looks like from the beginning.

I can't stress enough how important making storyboard is to the process of comic making. Even if you just make a few pages of storyboard at the time, it gives you something iterate on, and since storyboard is suppose to be simple, its easier to make overall change. I have multiple storyboards often times of a sequence of pages where story plays out differently, where i read it to myself to see if one of these version work better then the other.

Once you have decided on how a story and dialogue plays out, you can then proceed to put additional work on top of it. The attached is a page where I got from storyboard to near final page. Although this is kind of an extreme example, but I started with relatively simple lay out on the top. There are entire chapter of that thing already done at the point I print it out in larger papers.

>>3986569
get comfortable with perspective and simple backgrounds by drawing them whenever you can. this is mandatory if you want your comic to stand out

study your favorite mangas/western comics. don't just read them- STUDY them. take mental notes of what you like- save screenshots of pages that you want to emulate.

framed ink is a good book to get you started on panel composition. get ready to jump out of your comfort zone, anon. if a comic is what you want to make, you won't ever be going back.

Looks great man. Any advice on getting started with digital painting? It's so overwhelming to me with so many tools at my disposal. I've tried ctrl-paint but I couldn't get into it.

I already know, no need to say it.

What's the point on so many iterations if almost nothing it's different from the frist one.

>>3987556
That's not what I meant, there are version of that story sequence play out in different ways.

Although I will also mention that first two version is 9"x6" and 3rd version is done on 11x8. This is to allow me to add more detail while building on the framework that was previously established.

C'mon anon you can do better. Channel your inner Loomis and Hampton

>>3987973
your coloring work could use some astounding improvement. As it stands right now it lacks depth. It comes off as something you worked a long time on but at the same time the end result is something a far better artist can shit out because they just didn't feel like working hard that day.

I'm not sure where you're getting hung up on at that stage of your art but I would suggest you try to curve off from relying on colors and instead focus first on your values. I also suspect that you might be heavily focused on painting within your underlying lineart and that might be eating away at your time. For a problem like that I would suggest just not giving a fuck about it and just throwing shit onto the canvas a la Bob Ross.

>>3988545
Your fix looks way worse and fat as fuck lol.

>>3988588
>>muuuuuuh style

Recently I have been studying from the koreans on the internet. Aside from artists like Hyeollon who like to go straight down to colours, most artists prefers to work with merged layers and draft from greyscale.
So far I have found out 2 approach to greyscale from artists like KKUEM and InstantIP. I have made 2 drawings based on the methods and I'm wondering which one is easier to start blending with.
