finally a good oppic, congratulations anon, love your drawings

Experimenting with new techniques

>>4909732
This looks AI generated

>Anon discovers watercolors and the colors layer on the same day
THIS IS AMAZING, I FEEL INCREDIBLE, YES YES
I CAN WIN
I FEEL GREAT
I CAN DO THIS

>>4910074
I thought you meant actual watercolors for a second and got excited as well...

ffxiv owns my life now

>>4910084
If the thumbnail fooled you it means it's possible to make it look like real watercolors once zoomed in... With some more practice.
Give me a few dozen pieces and I'll manage something good.

>>4910009
Was trying the colorize feature in CSP to get some initial values. Pic related is the original sketch lines and the values it put out. Since then I've been messing the colors, removed the sketch lines and redoing the line work. Weird workflow but trying to get results from it.

everything in this thread so far looks great

messed with the face for awhile before I decided blocking it out looks better

critiques welcome, am still a /beg/

>>4910382
Cool, but it looks like a pussy who gave up made it

>>4910235
I don't like it, idk what to tell you, the only thing AI is good for is to get the initial, sketch, idea of the colours. Just seems like a shaky floor to build upon, and it doesn't seem to be working for you. Sorry good luck luv u anyways, keep trying

>>4910412
Helpful advice. Thank you!

>>4909708
Was wondering what people thought about this. I wanna color it but I'm not sure how to go about that. I was thinking of doing a flat color over the sketch. Sorta like how this guy did it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddrx6FRFWRo&ab_channel=SethMcGhee

question from last thread
whats the key to making better cartoons?

From ref

>>4910882
>>4910883
These are great, same poster?
How do I develop my own style like this? Atm my style is just copying the elements I like from my favourite manga artists and mashing them together. Does it just take time and practice for that to become my natural style?

i've been feeling depressed lately

>>4910882
Linkalynx is that you

>>4910882
>>4910883
>>4910963
Love these.

>>4910604
Exaggeration and design sense. Push your shapes to the point of breaking, then just past it, then dial it back in the parts where it feels too far. Of course to do it like pic related you need strong fundamentals backing you up, but to be completely honest, good cartoons can be made more on the side of intuition than strict technical knowledge.

>>4910983
like pic related*

>>4910882
>>4910883
lovely stuff fisher

>>4910197
How do you do your lineart?

>>4910935
Thanks. Yeah pretty much, style is something that develops naturally as you look for shortcuts and try to simplify things. Just keep doing what you’re doing, it sounds like you’re on the right track

I like the drawing itself, but the colors are a bit unpleasant

>>4911438
>>4911427
I agree, looks grey, read light and color, I like the clothes desing tho really cute

>>4911438

oh damn i see it. thanks for the advice, will read

I heard you like Paimon?

nice, thanks

not too happy with this one, though it is just a cleaned up sketch.

Drew this for yesterday's drawing on my October prompt list. I think I'm starting to realize some of my flaws
>everything is at eye level, no perspective
>not feeling the form or thinking in 3D
>inconsistent light sources
Anything else that stands out?

parody

>>4909732
>>4910235
The AI thing is really unappealing, dude.
It's not even a case of "that's cheating!", it's just a really ugly look.

>>4911883
I feel like you curve the lines too much. Everything ends up looking squishy. The guy could use a jaw that’s not that soft. Even if you decide you like the pudgyness, add some sharpness somewhere. Shoes, folds, anywhere really.

I've been procrastinating on my scripts and writing assignments for the whole of September now
But at least having classes made me draw a bit more by proxy due to pressure from being around people

>>4910193
love the lineweight
>>4910205
cute

>>4912034
all those squiggly lines? you must be a genius

Something tells me that i should have been studying perspective all these years

This was a horrible idea

What do you guys think of this style?

wip

I did it.

The anime is dead.

>>4912066
Draw a box for the hips and ribcage of the girl on the left. Can you see how she isn't flush with the wall?

>>4912034
>>4912170
I would really not recommend working like this. No, a sketch/under drawing doesn't need to be clean by any means, but it looks like you're spending a lot of time going over and over the same curves. This time could be better spent on some basic construction or even iteration. It looks like you are using some of it to work out the contours of the form, but there's just so, so much.

>>4912110
It's cute, the neck position is off though

>>4912243
You need to study perspective, your 3D sense is really poor.

>>4912252
what??????????

>>4912245
The neck position is fine, it's her left arm and shoulder that's the issue.

>>4912255
What are you confused about? The drawing is very flat, and I don't mean her chest.

>>4912252
seethe harder crab

>>4912252
redline it crabs

>>4912257
>>4912245
Well, and the rib cage, and her right thigh. But the arm/shoulder is what's making the neck look wrong.

>>4912259
no

You will never improve if you react to critique this way.

Cope hard crab.

Sorry guys, the so called "crab" here. My father saw my typing this and beat me for it. He is watching me type an apology and to tell you guys Indians are not like this we are respectful people we do not talk like this. I am very sorry guys.

>>4912294
Great job detective, you solved the mystery of someone posting twice.

>crab sees a good drawing

I forgot about the AI and just did the work with hard round brush, lasso and gradient maps. Hope this is better.

What's the consensus on posting studies from people's photos ? saw these on a tokyo fashion blog, and wanted to keep going but don't know if i should ask for the girl's permission since i want to post them too

my fuckin sides, Dont even try anon. Don't even try

>>4912020
I like there isn't much to say, maybe try to make the eyes a little bit sharper, maybe the eyelashes would be enough. I.ike it but it's too simple to critic

>>4912066
Yep the girl on the left isn't really working, you wouldn't be really confortable leaning against a thin piece of wood, but besides that they don't even look in the same plane

>>4912651
Why should you care? It's just a drawing bro

>>4913700
Solid i like it

>>4910193
why the fuck are you still here

>>4913873
Arm is hard to read on the figure, largely due to it being completely confined in the silhouette of the body.

>>4913357
>>4913683
I'm squinting as hard as i can and I really don't understand how your seeing a dick

>>4913888
You can't see how a long object between the legs looks like a dick?

>>4913893
Why would it be that long? I'm just gonna take your word for it

>>4913895
It looks like a cartoony dick, dude. Two other people thought the same thing. After looking at it for a while, I figured out it was supposed to be a belt for a gattling gun, but it looks like a comically oversized schlong. Part of the problem is that there is no indication of the flatness of it, leading the viewer to assume it's cyllindrical.

>>4913913
I see it from the thumbnail, the values do meld together but expanded looks fine to me. Either way i get your point i'll probably just put more effort into the belt whenever I use gatling gun belts again so it's less blocky.

>>4913782
Thank you.

>>4914353
Nice! Shame the hair is cut off, but otherwise solid. Did you use a lightbox to get the lines that clean?

>>4914466
Yea composition is a lot harder with traditional than digi. Have to really plan it out before you get too far, can't just shrink the whole thing lmao.
I did use a lightbox, good guess! While I enjoy the process of direct drawing more, The cleanliness and not to mention the opportunity to flip your drawing non-digitally, is too essential for me to pass up.

>>4914466
Oh and thank you so much lol

drawing is supposed to imitate life, not imitate anime

>>4914557
Funny opinion.

>>4914557
Drawing is supposed to represent ideas, if you're just imitating life then you're just a glorified camera.

There's a reason shitty artists who just draw chibis or stick figures will be far more successful than [realistic photocopyfag #1000058]. Its because art that expresses ideas or stories is more desirable than high quality life like artwork.
Having both is preferable, but focusing on the later before the former is putting the chicken before the egg.

>>4914692
chibis or stick figures do imitate life - not other chibis and stick figures - but ideas and stories from real life
if you draw anime from anime, or cartoons from cartoons, you're just further distancing yourself from the source material

>>4914714
>ideas and stories from real life
yes. just the other day i summoned a slime girl to become a white knight and protect the town. a very common occurrence these days.

>>4914730
Slime, knights, towns all exist in real life. I know it might seem like a mythical, absurd concept to you - but so do girls. Yes, there are even girls IRL. Isn't that wonderful?

>>4914714
That's a really retarded way of thinking.

C&c pls

>>4915392

this is so unsettling and cool. I love it

kungfu ape warmup.

>>4915629
Three wise monkeys?

>>4915677
A bit but obviously an after thought and not the inspiration tho. Just wanted to draw a fez and monkeys came shortly after.

>>4915744
If it's important to you, I would make the first one a little clearer with something like headphones. The anatomy is a bit too human in some places, especially the first one. Really, his design is just the weakest all around. The other two are really cool and full of personality, but he's kinda just there.

How do I increase the sense of movement in the gesture?

wip

>>4915783
Her hands are wildly different sizes

>>4915912
And wild shapes, for that matter.

>>4915912
Not them and the foreshortening is still funky but you can literally see they're trying to make one hand look bigger because it's nearer to the viewer than the other one.
>>4915506
I like this being.
>>4915392
Wish the legs weren't sticks but still pretty cute. Now show those arms.

>>4915928
It's clear what was intended, but it is also clearly wrong.

>>4915752
You're right I had similar feelings and got lazy on it, a revisit won't hurt.

>>4910238

>>4916141
I said it's funky but there's literally nothing useful to saying the earlier crab shit. /ic/ is literally worse than useless because it's a time sink where nearly nobody actually gives helpful comments.

How can I improve the overall composition? Also, is there anything else I could improve on?

>>4914358
Oooh I recognise your stuff off DAD too. Awesome thank you I'm looking into a new one that looks good

Someone tell me they at least recognize who this is supposed to be. I'm starting to lose hope.

>>4917387

>>4917387
Have you tried wearing glasses?

I had this weird dream where I was a one-eyed monkey, so i had to sketch it up. What about you fellas, do you draw your dreams?

howdy folks, here's a creature I made as a style test, please critique it I've gotten too comfy with my art as of late

(sorry if I'm doing this wrong I'm an idiot and new to 4chan)

>>4917611
cute

I'm very beg tier so I dont know about trying this as of now but sorry for the stupid question, when should I bother with this? like, how far along should i be on my fundies to try?

>>4917461
i think the shadow being lighter than the creature is offputting. you could try making the shadow and the oval shape in the background darker in value than the darkest value of the creature while making the creature lighter overall. also, what goes through your mind when you pick the color palette for your creature design?

>>4917767
you can literally start whenever. try to make personal works that are applications of whatever fundamental principles that you learned so far i.e. if youve just learned perspective then make a cotyscape or a still life, or if you've just pearned box forms in figures then draw a character using that principle

>>4917767
As the other anon said, you can start right now if you want, as long as you dont drop your studies of the fundamentals. Stylization is just how artists put their personal touch on the fundamentals.
However, if you want you art to be more "appealing", minimum you are gonna need a good grasp of anatomy, know the form of the muscles and how they interact with each other. And perspective, since a lot of expression comes from how the poses and objects are presented. And then you maaaybe can add linework and colors, but you shouldnt bother with that right now. Just have fun man.

>>4917448
Feel the forms better, doesn't look like monkey

>>4917783
ah, Thank you!
as for creature color palettes, I'd say I'll usually pick a theme color and ride off that, however with this creature I really didn't think about it's colors, something I most certantly should have done now that I'm looking back on it.

>>4918025
Thank you, I will pay more attention next time.

Well, the project is not just porn for the sake of porn. But yes, ass and tiddies are the low hanging fruit, I get what you mean.

>>4922989
Nice nice

Man i fucked up the scaling. Digital has made me soft for transforming

is wanting to draw like this aiming too low? I always thought the TF2 comics had a great style

>>4923844
That’s not aiming low at all. While it’s not very detailed or overly rendered, it’s incredibly lively and expressive

>>4923619
Inked, quick color, I’m so excited to huff some markers

>>4923844
>>4923891
I would personally say wanting to draw like any specific artist is aiming low, but I may just be a weirdo. But the TF2 comics are high quality, so admiring them is nothing to be ashamed of.

>>4923943
I'm not trying to be like her exactly but I find myself coming back to see how she does things a lot. (Her being the artist, makani)

>>4924189
This is mostly good, but the face is pretty skewed.
Look in particular at her right eye and mouth position.
The collar's shape isn't outside of the realm of possibility, but I think it is a little suspect with how high up it goes on her right side.
The carpals are very different lengths between the left and right hands (compare the position of the pinky knuckles), and as a matter of personal preference I would like to see some kind of delineation on the ulnar side of her right palm.

No idea what that other guy's issue is.

>>4923922
holy fuck this is so cool, I love witch aesthetics.

>>4924270
>>4924189
Also I just noticed that her left arm looks weird because of the way you've done the sleeve. With where the folds are bunching, it makes it look like she has a really long, noodly forearm.
Your underdrawing of the arm demonstrates that it is POSSIBLE for the arm to fit into the sleeve like that, but the issue is that it will read strangely.

>>4923922
Hmmm kind of fucked that up. But i needed that break from inktober chores

>>4924283

Thanks! It’s from animal crossing

>>4923884

>>4924295
>>4924295
These are really hard to look at.
If you're going to use such highly saturated colors you should really limit the palette more.
Every color zone except for the head is competing with every other color zone and it's just a cacophony of color.
Compositionally, everything is crammed in tight together and there's no real path for the eye to follow.
And technically, both of these images have have errors where the color doesn't quite meet the lines.

>>4924189
Whitebox, for the love of god, I've been telling you for a year now to work on your faces

I don't even know why I'm giving you a (You)

I was thinking about giving it a background or simply use a flat color and call it a day

>>4924521
Begone, hemorrhoid

>>4922498
Well I did the sprites and splash art of a visual novel with puzzles and that kind of thing but I can't post them anywhere until the project is complete

>>4924521
grimacing pushes cheek fat upwards similar to smiling, resulting in the skin creasing at the eyes and nostrils, and causing cheek fat to bulge above the chin.

the hands of the human pulling at the mouth of the elf should either be avoiding points of contact with the face by tucking away from it or pushing against the face where it can't be avoided.

at the angle depicted the human's elbow appears pointy, not round.

clavicle and scapula create a boxy point at the shoulder.

the elf leaning forward with her arms hanging slightly in front of her torso results in the breasts being pushed together. nipples end up being pushed closer to the middle of each breast instead of pointing directly outwards at a diagonal.

should feel a little something like this.

>>4924925
add a psychedelic background with solo jazz cup vibes like bgs used in school portraits.

>>4924979

I decided to try to copy/study artists I like since
I want my work to have appeal even if I am still learning and because I can't draw heads from imagination. Only those 4 for now because it took more than an hour to do anything and I must go soon, original artist is spacejin. Any feedback?

I don't play WoW but I drew my friend's character.

some very important anatomical advice: the front of the head (which is the face essentially) is smaller than the back and middle parts of the head.
if you ever wonder

>how come i have trouble matching the face to the body? (it's because your faces take too much space in relation to the whole head)
>how come i can't use the construction circle directly and always have to make the head bigger for it to look right? (puffy hair can mask this issue)
then this is the reason.

Blog?

My brother told me to draw a cute butt, but I got caught up drawing the girl who owns the butt. Everything but the feet is from imagination. Screw feet.

Working on getting good skin. How'd I do?

>>4926354
The neck looks weird because it has tones darker than normal but still not look like a shadow. This weird tan on face too. Looks like meat pudding. Lady looks nice like Disney character. England not first language.

>>4926631
Also light source not defined well so looks weird

>>4926563
Reworking this piece with proper perspective and form.

yes i'm bad, just had some fun

>>4926678
you shouldn't be using straight lines as a metric for accuracy for most of the forms you're checking. they're all spherical or cyclindrical forms and they wrap around the face/torso/skull.
using straight lines to check positions can be fine for face-on views but it won't reflect reality at angles like the 3/4 the drawing is in.

>>4926819
keep going friend

>>4926935
going as we speak!

>>4922375
i mean, it looks good small, big yikes when big

>>4927217
Kys

>>4925688
Values too similar to each other, i can't read the hands, feel the form retard

>>4926819
>>4926971
cute anon, cute redraw

>>4927219
>>4922375
no fuck you, just fuckin try a liltle bit harder. I like it, but stop being a cunt

>>4927259
Dunning Kruger at it again

Gave up on the face because it was turning into ice cream

>>4927313
Her whole body is turning into ice cream.

>>4927315
Is it that bad

>>4927318
I'm talking about the original photo, you did well with the rendering.

>>4927349
Oh I see. Well, thanks.

>>4922989
Man, every time I see your work I just have to stop and stare at it. So good.

I'm stuck in a rut of just drawing the same few OCs every day. I like sketching in pen but the downside is nothing ever really looks as good as is could because I can't fix any mistakes. I need to do studies or try and actually finish some pieces too.

>>4927234
Thanks anon, one day I'll be good

>What is /ALT/? If you're looking for a place to post your cartooning then you've found the right general.
WHY IS /ALT/ ALWAYS FULL OF REALISM
Is /alt/'s idea of 'cartooning' western comics styles like DC/Marvel instead of like, Cartoon Network/Nickelodeon/Disney designs? I want an /altalt/...

>>4927774
seethe.

>>4927774
>WHY IS /ALT/ ALWAYS FULL OF REALISM
You know 75% the artwork posted here is anime, right?

>>4927794
Yes, it's fine, but that's not stylized enough.

>>4927799
>not stylized enough
Fucking Autism

>>4927774
So post your ultra stylized stuff and add it to the thread. Whats your problem with what other people draw? Fuck off and draw what you like to see.

>>4927817
Calm down dude, there's nothing wrong saying I want something (namely a different general). You know you have the whole board AND this thread to keep doing what you're doing. You shouldn't feel threatened. The point is stuff which is more stylized never feels at home on /ic/, even on a general that sounds like it would be the right place to contain that kind of content.

>>4927822
>The point is stuff which is more stylized never feels at home on /ic/
It's in your head anon.
I get the overall feel you're having but there's no helping it. It's going to be 2021 soon, it should give you an idea of the state of this website, right?
Just draw.

>>4927838
I draw and I draw a lot. I just don't post here much. I wish I had a board or at least a general where there were more people into stylized art so people could actually give each other helpful constructive critique fitting those needs.

>>4927868
What you wish for isn't exactly grounded with reality. Best chance would be to make your own Discord.
If you're into anime there's an anime study general. Contribute and be the change you want to see.

Ultimately stylization is a personal thing, it's just style. Even if you don't fully appreciate other people's art, you can still provide objective critique regarding fundamental concepts, just like they can for you. Style won't suddenly change all the rules. Some sometimes, but not all.

>>4927662
That's the spirit bud. Its gonna be hard but it will be satisfying.

>>4927799
people that look like aliens are not stylized enough? What?

>>4927822
Everyone hated tableguy at first and then they chilled out about it. I think this shit is all in your head. Just draw dude. We don't need a whole other general just for you. You can post here.

artists are right brained emotional types.
no wonder it's always catty and petty arguments as if we're all women

>>4927926
Thanks broseph appreciate u

>>4919237
>reminds me of the old World Masterpiece Theatre anime,

It literally is. Its a character from Akage no Anne. Probably the most highly regarded anime from WMT.

>>4927978
Not true. A huge amount of people on this board are left brained (see the guys grinding fundies, copyfags etc).
Also catty and petty arguments are not always made by right brained people. It goes deeper than that.
For example a bunch of slut types have their ego located in the left hemisphere.
I don't feel like going deeper into this on /ic/ though.

>>4909813
cute trans colors

>>4928169
youre half right. half way off but it is /ic/ so i digress

>>4928169
why do you relate left with grinding fundies?

>>4928425
I meant it in a negative way. People who grind fundies with no real emotional aim on their own other than wanting "to get better". Like that guy here >>4915198
It's generally left because they're not in touch with their inner emotions.
It's really oversimplifying it though. There are more sides within the two sides.

Okay bros I was inspired by artist じゅん and tried anime again what do you think

>>4912020
amazing line-economy

>>4926631
Tried again by painting shapes and blending them together less. Does this look good?
(also fixed the position of the neck)

What's your favorite type of eye stylization? Looking for some semi realistic inspiration

>>4928576
it still looks a lot like your style i don't know what are you trying to steal from his style,maybe the rendering?

What should I study if Im fascinated by Yuasa and want to play with the same ideas?
Simple but expressive and with a good grasp on both motion and color

>>4928639
>>4926354
Please stop using the AI, it makes things look so bad.

>>4928983
Didn't use AI, colorize, or anything like that. Honestly just painted shapes on what I thought were the planes of the face. But what does/does not work? I'm trying to get pleasing skin tone and value.

>>4922989
Are you ever going to finish this?

>>4929043
I don't think I believe you, but if you're telling the truth, that just tells me that you've incorporated that ugly AI machine learning look into your linework and color choices now which is even worse.
In terms of this particular issue, you are delineating too much, your colors are
all oversaturated, and you're using a small soft brush for everything, which just makes things look smudgy and weird.

Additionally, you need to study anatomy more, particularly in regards to the structure of the ear, the way hairlines work, and the neck, but also the whole head is very flat and out of proportion.

>>4925006
taking advice from a anon is the worst thing you can do. Never ever take advice from anyone who wont post their work. this thread is noting but attention whoring OR low self-esteem /int/s getting head pats from inflated self worth /beg/s.

PS: pyw man lets see what you go

go my children >>4929228
be kind to each other and enjoy making art

>>4924293
