Remember, this thread is only a place to execute muh styles and to draw animu/cartoons for fun. This should be supplementary to your art studies. Make sure you're drawing real figures and practicing anatomy/proportions, gestures, and lighting because that knowledge is what will make all your art better.

The drawthread and sketchthread have to mountains of resources you could scan through. Don't get in obsessed in looking for "the perfect method of learning" and remember to just draw. Also, don't get stuck in learning with one artist as well - make everyone your teacher.

So is the secret to getting better at making smooth line-work digitally redrawing over everything until it's 10/10? Or do people actually use a pen tool to connect everything after they scan or draw their sketch?

Also I keep screwing up on the left arm, I know the hand should probably be bigger but I could use some advice or redlining on how it should be positioned

[Anonymous No.1519598]

>>1519561

Most JP artists I've watched draw in person, on streams, or in various instructional videos that come bundled with mooks, do not use vector tools for inking (except for inorganic, mechanical objects or effect lines, things that would have required a ruler when done with physical media). It is a matter of confidence, a steady hand, good lifting technique, and above all having a clear idea of what they wish to draw. Be as messy as you like during the sketching phase, and figure out most of the problems so that you don't have to think about them later. One shouldn't be indecisive at the inking stage.

The biggest improvement to my own line work came from fighting the urge to lift the pen prematurely. Draw the longest lines you possibly can.

I need some advice. I have an Original Character. He's in the picture to the left.

You can probably tell that his hair doesn't make much sense. I like the look he has, but like I said it doesn't make much sense.

Anyone have any tips to kind of keep the same look, but lose confusing hairstyle?

Think in 3D. His hair is totally different from the front and side view.

Try making a sort of turnaround, draw lines from landmarks across the page to line them up.

[Anonymous No.1519832]

>>1519829

Thanks. I'll do this. I'd like to keep his hair the same from the side view in some way, so I need to change the way it looks from the front view.

I know it's stiff. It's a character concept, he's just standing still. It's not an action pose drawing.

Cheats like that are pretty common in cartooning and animation, there's nothing inherently wrong doing it. See mickey mouses ears for example.

[Anonymous No.1519842]

>>1519836
Not the guy you're replying to, but character concepts need not be stiff. If you ever have a chance, look at The Skillful Huntsman. Great book about the process of designing a world and characters.
But there is a section in character design where poses are shown to change the perception of the characters. They're not action poses, but they're not stiff either.

Just enough to give a glimpse into their attitude while still being able to see the important parts of the design. What you've got going is more akin to a 3d modeler's turnaround.

Yeah, the 3D modeler turn around thing was what I was going for. Basically just to show off the character's outfit and appearance.

This is one of the first actual organized concept I've created for one of my characters. Before they've just been sketches.

I'll take a look at The Skillful Huntsman, I know I have tons to learn when it comes to design and concept art. Your advice is greatly appreciated.

I'm not saying I'm a master artist or anything. I know my artwork is decent at best. But, you're just basing your opinion on my art from one drawing.

N.B.: People are telling you the figure is stiff not just because of the pose, but because the figure has no rhythm. Rhythm is the undulation of contours from the natural curves of bones, the tendency of muscles to spiral wrap around bones, contrapposto, gravity, etc. Those exist even when the pose is neutral.

It's not hard to imagine how bad you must be at drawing. Your skill in self-defense is so great, I can tell you honed it over the years to defend your shitty Sonichu-tier drawings. In fact, I believe you went to art school where they teach you how to explain your shittiness in convincing terms.

We really need to rethink these threads.

We want a small place for animu and cartooning or stylization in general.
But the problem is except for maybe a few, most people who want to draw animu here are pretty much complete beginners. And a badly drawn OP like that is just way too inviting to them.
While i think a place for beginners isn't too much against /ic/, i'm pretty sure a place for beginners to post their "art " and get "critique" is friggin pointless. (Read the goddamn sticky or practice instead)

Maybe we should give up. There just aren't enough artists to build an actual animu and cartooning thread. In the end it just becomes a beginner thread.

Well one thing we could do is pump more info into these threads to create content and learning material for cartooning and stylizing, similar to what teal did, only better.
But how are we supposed to get anything done when there are these obnoxious trolls orbiting all around the place?

I remember a time (3 threads ago) when the animu draw thread was actually helpful. Animu in general attracts the beginners because it is the most accessible and easiest thing for them to start with.

Sure we'd get the "durrhurr cancur containment" post whenever there is a new one but why the sudden wave of trolls? Maybe it's because people are feeding them? We can still have a animu/mango thread like there always has been on /ic/, otherwise how else are the noobs supposed to know if they are going in the right direction?

>>1520274

They do realize they have to actually learn basics before drawing anime, they just don't want to accept the grind for the reward.

[Anonymous No.1520293]

Now that I've given it some thought, yeah I agree with >>1520258 about merging.

These thread were created to solve an non existent problem. Animu was never unaccepted in the generals. It was just discouraged to draw before having at least some understanding of fundamentals, which most beginners never learn. They think animu is very easy, which is deceptive. Mikufag was one of the most prominent pushers of these threads, probably thinking he would improve here more.

/ic/ is actually small enough as it is. Further dividing draw threads is pointless. Only a few people are interested in animu specifically, western cartoons and comics seem unwelcome judging by the name of the threads. This creates an even smaller thread. Also a smaller thread is an easier target for leEPICtrollingXD. Merging with the generals will diminish their effects.

Overall merging seems like the most sensible thing to do, thus eliminating all problems.

[Anonymous No.1520298]

>>1520293
>These thread were created to solve an non existent problem.

Anime/cartoons do have unique sensibilities, based on practicality. That means there are certain best practices which wouldn't be applicable to other forms of drawing/painting. These threads should have, in theory, filtered out the arguments over construction or exaggeration or simplification, but those arguments happen anyway between trolls and people who should have known better.

>Overall merging seems like the most sensible thing to do, thus eliminating all problems.

The "problems" pervade other threads, as it is the nature of entire board. The only difference is in degree.

If you don't see any value left in this thread, just spend your time elsewhere. No offense, but trying to kill this thread is no more productive than trolling it.

>Anime/cartoons do have unique sensibilities, based on practicality.

I get what you mean, and I agree. And these threads should have worked. But the problem is that /ic/ is just not big and fast enough for every niche and artstyle to have its own thread.

And I'm not trying to kill these threads. If enough interest is shown in them, maybe they can still be viable. Perhaps a first step would be changing the name to something like "CARTOONING GENERAL cartoons/manga/animation/comics etc..." Right now it seems to be limited only to anime/manga style. The name counts for a lot.

>It was just discouraged to draw before having at least some understanding of fundamentals, which most beginners never learn.

Never learned the fundamentals or any of that shit, still draw decently.

All you need is a shitload of references and photoshop.

In this day and age, how good you draw depends more on your technical know how around software and ability to gather reference, really.

[Why Anime Threads Don't Work(...) No.1520510]

1. You're trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.

Speculating why a person would want to draw anime is pointless. This is an anonymous board. To each their own. Why should you give fuck where they came? And sometimes, the fundamentals don't mean shit.You have no idea of the history, nor the actual goal(s) of these anonymous artist, until after they mad it clear. So any kind of presumptuous suggestion would automatically carry with it, you dictating what constitutes a "proper" animu endeavor. Already out the door, you're trying to control the conversation on a website known for it's chaotic dialogues. This ain't your personal toybox, so stop trying to control it as one.

2. The Blind leading the Blind

In the history of Weeaboo based threads, they all ran their course and failed in the end on one crucial problem:You people don't know how to critique. You don't know to give one, and you don't know how to listen to one. This lack of understanding can only come from two things: you're not interested in that much to care, or you don't want it. The reasons behind those reasons will vary. What matters is the resulting environment. People who don't know what they're doing when it comes to critiquing, giving advice and taking advice from each other. Some get high off the attention and process that learning. But eventually most get bored with the endlessly routine banter that ultimately goes nowhere

3. The Privileges of anonymity will always bring its consequences.

Let's be honest, you can draw weeaboo shit anywhere and get the same feedback. We've all seen the deviantart forums. They can be just as ruthless. (And they have stricter moderation!) The anonymity here brings people who want to draw things they can't get away with publically. Stuff that belongs on /d/. This always happen. Two or three anons will start to post loli, then it turns into hentia, then it turns into futa, then turns into shota, or it turns into yaoi or guru or whatever. And the thread becomes inundated with the shit. Give a twenty something brat an inch and the'll take a mile, these grown ass children don't know shit about moderation. And it always ends up the same--janitors come sweeping along, with the brats complaining on /q/ WAAH WHY DE HATIN ANIMU? IT"S MUH STYLE.

"heroic" is fine, but you need to know how muscles actually work to do that first.
Try practicing gesture first. Use Proko's videos as guides. Then you can pretty much make any character look heroic by doing a heroic pose... know what I'm saiyan? After that, you can look into what muscles make someone look buff and stuff.

Can you actually prove that without presupposing? Can anyone here make an argument for that without begging the assumption that it's just so? Where's the real meat to that argument? What makes you think that that is the answer? (Cause I can think of several ways without learning anatomy.)

It's a suggestion. Just because it's stated in that way doesn't mean it's the only correct method. Having knowledge of the positions of muscles and how they interact with each other does help greatly to drawing accurate figures.

I'm not entirely sure what polygon selection is... but if it's something that you use to only paint in a selected area, then there is an option. Draw the thing you want to paint clean and sharp in a separate layer, for instance a table. Just color the whole thing (in the same layer) with the an opaque base color, for instance brown. Then have a peak to the left on your screen. Right over where the layers are listed there's something called "preserve opacity", click it! Now you can paint away on that layer without ruining your crisp edges! When doing this, it's very important to name your layers, as it quickly can be a lot of them and it makes it easier to keep order...

I hope this was what you were after, if not... ignore me.

[Anonymous No.1521023]

>>1520616

I forgot to mention, if you use the line art layer for the first step, then "Preserve opacity" is not an option. But what you can do is: Draw your lines in a line art layer. Create a regular empty layer under it. Knock the two layers together - ta daa - it's turned in to a regular one!

the darker hair works well, not sure about the legs warmers/arm warmers (two match on one side the other two don't?)
It looks better with the hair ribbons.
The orange in the right sock/thigh highs looks a bit weird as all the other colours go together and match something else

Also eyes are a kinda weird khaki colour, not sure if they're s'posed to be the light green used in the socks and have just got muddied up with pencil though.
Aside from that, the colours are pretty good and the drawing itself looks a lot better coloured in :)
Are you going to go over the lines with pen or leave them as is?

No it isn't. At all. I like anime quite a bit, in fact. The problem is that goddamn picture. It's objectively bad. It's not a matter of "you don't like anime, so you're clearly biased against anime." The anatomy is fucking awful. Shirts are not part of the human anatomy. The body must be understood before you can add clothes to it. It's bad, and the artist needs fundamentals.

So why don't YOU take your ass back to your deviantart--or whatever awful "art website"--hugbox you crawled here from, and let artists try to help other artists.

I probably should have never mentioned the original character part. Been getting a lot of flack for just stating that.

The reason he looks so stiff is because I'm just drawing a turn around character sheet for his concept. This was inspired by the Legend of Korra character concept sheets. (Image to the left).

I just wanted to try the same thing to present my character. Although, I'm very aware my anatomy or artwork is anywhere near LOK. Just using it as an example.

I do have other drawings of my characters in fluid poses. I'm glad you like the design.
