What is /ALT/?
If you're looking for a place to post your cartooning then you've found the right general. This is /ic/s 1st and only merged hub where both Eastern and Western stylization can coexist peacefully, hence the double title. However, by community demand and long history, this is favorably an Anime general.
>Rules & Guidelines
(1) Any form of cartooning is welcome; so submit and receive feedback from others. (2) Please resize your images before posting. (3) Share your knowledge and (4) Remember to not be afraid of asking for critique. Most importantly I encourage you to keep discussion at a civil level, but you're more than welcome to share your opinions.
>I came for anime. Why does the image OP say cartoons general?
To distinguish from the anime study thread (janitor supported). Please post your studies there and personal work goes here.

Don't let the faggots drag you down.
Just keep going and refining what you think needs improvement.
There are little imperfections here and there, your outlines might need more weight if that might be what you're going for.
The most obvious mistake upon further inspection, is her right leg; You didn't need to put it in such a perspective.
The angle/pov isn't that extreme that you need to make them half the size of the other leg.
What i'm basically saying that the leg is disproportionate.
Render isn't really a bother and that's just about taste more than anything.
Just keep going, you'll get there the more you draw.

i dunno where you guys get this, i receive so much love and support from so many people..
yes all of those things are true I see now that I got very lazy and did not keep a consistent effort everywhere, besides structural problems of course
the way I try to do lineart is also a hit or miss and my big struggle
but I have a big drive now, finally I devised a style that I like and want to pursue which is more painterly and vibrant colors
also the characters must always do something, right now it's eating

if you want to successfully copy navigavi, you need to exaggerate a little on the eating part and make it appealing.
>cute big titty anime grill eating a fat piece of meat
appealing thus to give the character you're portraying, a personality through the act.
A chip on the other hand, would be something delicate, exaggerate on that.

Your colors are always muddy, unappealing because you have saturated them excessively, and you're also in limbo between a clash of east and west style mashup which almost always ends horribly wrong. You also need to know the difference between a Male and Female Torso as well as the subtle differences between the hands. A rule of thumb is for Males use square forms and females oval/spherical forms to compliment the sexes between masculine and feminine. Also, to our Resident Tranny you will never be a Woman.

I don't even know if this is any use to you but here. Color is somewhat subjective. I just think you need more of some kind of driving idea behind your choices. Unity. I went the most boring route possible and unified by shifting everything toward blue-violet. I wouldn't use these myself, it's just an example of what you could do to get more harmony. Main thing you could do instantly would be to desaturate the background heavily, though it doesn't have to be white. Being so orange and similar to the character's colors, it's competing with her.

Here's another interpretation of this character. The artist didn't do anything that wild in terms of color. He just made the background the same color as the red in Lilith's costume, and put in some almost lost edges around the bat wings. That's another way of achieving unity.

Ah, sorry, i didn't see the initial talk.
Ok, in this case the idea would be to be as clear as possible and to try avoid lines being paralel with the frame.
Tilt the head, tilt the shoulders, show the head bent forward more clearly etc. These are standard tricks to avoid boring images. Do you see it in my sketch? And be careful aout the shading, rule of thimb, if shading is making the image unclear or breaking the figure then minimise it. Don't be afraid to be simple.

Anons just need a push to be able to stand on their own legs.
It usually works out and they don't need the threads that badly anymore.
Also it really depends on the work; if i can see the original vision and the potential of the image, i will help. If the image is alright on it's own, there is no need to intervene.
And by helping, you yourself might learn a few things.
Other anons might feel the same.

There's a "put me in the screencap" effect, and everybody knows it. Not just here but in life. People act after others.
Still, asuka anon posts often, specifically requests critique, and actually responds to it.
I've redlined others before, if they request critique/help and are reasonably specific about their problem. But too often anons are vague or want you to redraw the whole picture for them, if they ask for help at all.

Here's some advice on requesting...advice. If you actually want help, put in a little work yourself. Know what *you* want first. Ideally include a drawing or reference showing what you're trying to achieve in your own work, but if not that, at least be as specific as possible. The more specific you are, the more likely someone will help, because a) less work is more manageable and b) they don't have to read your mind regarding your intentions.

Hey anon, no prob, glad to offer some ideas.. You're already doing better but watch the hands and arms, I'm always careful to avoid mirroring in figure drawing, the hands are posed the same, and visually at the same level forming a pretty static triangle shape with the head. Go for more asymmetric relationships if you want the image to be dynamic.

i tried to use an ultra saturated bg from the start and work the palette with it, since i have issues where I always just throw random colors in the bg after a generic render job

values look acceptable to me when greyscaled but i still dont feel right with the color choices, especially with the annoying stripes

>> No.5003875

look at the thumbnail and squint your eyes, do you see how the body blends into the background? It's tonally too close to bg. Try and separate them more. Probably only changing the stripes on the dress will suffice.

Thank you, I had a lot of troubles juggling trying to make the dress look accurate vs keeping it from contrasting too hard and drawing attention away from the face.

Yeah, on this one you can really tell what's going on. Better witohout the stripe, background reads as one plane as it should. Don't be afraid to use wild colour choices, what is important is to have hierarchy of color, also known as color proportion. Red background contains all the rest of the colors in your picture and holds them together.

I've been drawing serious for about four years, roughly around the time I was working to sell phones for a small branch store. A friend let me have his old Intuos3 tablet; once I got used to it, I started doing requests for them and on 4chan.

A mix of both: references the commissioner provided, and imagination to give the character her own style.

add drop shadow, move eyeball slightly to her left maybe, if flat colors make the shapes of the shadows look cool with long arcs and sharp corners and on a separate layer (multiple/screen) get a large brush and lightly touch it with some colors for light and/or shadow

I don't think you are /beg/, anon. I can sense some improvement in the horizon if you keep practicing. Your lineart is pretty solid and your construction is decent. You know how to draw, now your goal is to make your drawings more interesting. More exaggerated expressions, better posing, use of angles, foreshortening, etc. The cat could also use some work.
I know it's hard to separate yourself emotionally from your art, but if you take useful critique (learn to filter out shitposting but also don't dismiss critique you don't like) personally you will start to feel worthless and suffer from art blocks or depression. Take every drawing as a positive opportunity to do better next time.

Was thinking about this today, but are there any other users that do this kind of exploratory type of lineart? Whenever I do sketches, I never really lay down anything substantial, just a loose base, and then when I start slapping down lines, I prefer to start adding in bits and pieces as I go along.

Whenever I see videos of other artists showing off their process, they always draw every element they intend to line into the sketch from the beginning. idk if my own process is maybe counterproductive to the end product.

This is something i did for somebody else but you see the first step, make a separate layer and just make flat surfaces. While doing this check your silhouette by turnin your line layer on and off. Once you are done make another layer and set it to multiply and lower the opacity a bit, start drawing the shadow surfaces. Post once you did this. Don't rush this stage, it's essential.

Yes, I guess. I have Wacom Intuos and even in SAI with its in-build stabilizer I can't achieve this look.

I think you're just using the wrong brush then.
The brush that I do for laying down these types of colours is configured so that when I press lightly the pen is very small, and the harder I press the larger the brush gets (pic related).

With a brush like this is very easy to create these kinds of shapes. No eraser required.

>>5010869
I don't uderstand, you can't achieve clean edges? You need to look into your brush settings, i can't help you never worked with sai but the basic hard brush should do this. I would encourage you to try working like this for a while, with hard flat planes, if you can make that work than blending and softening should work. Your shading is messy, forms are not clear, you're just trying to copy something you don't undertand. Keep it simple, too many beg artists reach out too soon for the blending brush.

You're doing fine only thing is that you are going for the details first instead of the big shapes, study the way light falls on simple shapes like sphere, cone, tube etc and find these forms on your figure. Also, study carefully how skilled animation artists do cel shading in films. Your'e doing good just need to study and try more.

Exactly, see how better it is, you can make an exercise by employing different shadow patterns on the same drawing. If you are interested do an image search for Luca Cambiaso, an old master painter who left a lot of studies and sketches with figures made up of simple geometric forms with accurate shading. This kind of approach and clarity is extremely helpful no matter what style you are into. Have fun!
