This has probably been asked before, but why is this called an "Alternative" art thread and not an
Anime/manga art thread?

4chan was originally conceived as a forum to discuss anime and japanese culture, so wouldn't that make it the mainstream style by default? wouldn't western art technically be the alternative?

[Anonymous No.2747312]

>>2747306
people argued to have it be renamed to the stylization thread so that super stylized drawings that werent technically anime could be redirected to here because people didnt like them posting those kind of drawings in the main draw thread. they argued for the name change because lots of people would say "but its not anime, its muh style" as a deflection to criticism/when they were told to post in the other thread. thats kind of the short story it was just a buncha drawn out /ic/ bickering

The anatomy needs some work but I still quite like it.

[Anonymous No.2748657]

>>2748458
Pretty good work man - what you're mostly lacking is fluidity within your linework, i.e., most of your lines are very "static" and "stiff" and don't quite flow into each other. This can lead to stiff forms, which will lead to the image looking far more flat.
However, your top right sketch displays some definite dynamic-ness, especially around the middle torso area, so obviously, you are working well towards fixing this problem.
Generally, I would improve on that by just trying to do gesture studies at least once a day. Reference some of Krenz Kushart's gesture studies and tutorials to improve on this - Kuzhart is a master at combining solid forms and gesture and is fortunately one of the few who enjoys releasing his studies to the public.

And of course, there's the usual anatomy weirdness that's super common with a lot of people - for you, the most outstanding issues seem to be the shoulders and the bottom half of the legs, they come off as flat and awkward.

You're doing well anon - keep at it!

I don't know what I'm doing with color, my palette here probably has way too much going on.

How to fuck do I make any sort of curved/abnormal line in pixel art without creating a jagged mess? I understand this is likely fundamental but I don't know if there is some sort of formula I go by, so I just eyeball it.

[Anonymous No.2748938]

>>2748923
You need an understanding of color temperature, don't just darken the color for shadows but change the hue as well.

I haven't done pixel art in a long time but from what I understand you make the outline more dynamic in color as to not clash in contrast with the lighter/darker colors of what's inside the outline.

This one weirds me out. It was clearly a lot of work and the perspective is surprisingly competent considering how bad it looks. The figures, while stiff at least aren't grossly out of proportion, and despite the awful rendering you can at least see there was an attempt made here.

But the faces... they are absolutely awful, how could someone mess up so bad. It's like the features were separately pasted in from a clipart program and no expression is even attempted. I don't understand. Is the person who drew this afflicted by some sort of face blindness?

>Tips about the rendering ?
First, honestly I wouldn't even bother with rendering yet, practice the fuck out of gesture and faces first. You want your characters to feel alive before worrying about rendering. This is by far the most important thing.

I can't help you with the rendering really, I'm bad at it myself, but I can tell you that those harsh gradients aren't working. Look at reference to see what light actually does and study texture. But I wouldn't worry about that until after you worked on the gesture/face issues.

I like them, not not sure what about them it "horrible". Very derivative, sure, but I like a lot of the expressions and they have decent appeal. Not sure about the construction lines though, are you building these from imagination? Because the construction looks "flatter" than the faces themselves and it looks like you're not always following it.

Keep going, no reason not to draw what you like. Anime is only damaging if you copy it without understanding. /ic/ always gets salty because they expect people to invent their own style from first principles after exclusively photocopying black and white portraits for ten years

The biggest problem is the fact that the mouth isn't in perspective. The left side of the mouth shouldn't be lower than the right. Unless she's sneering, but there's no apparent indication of that.

Anyway, the problem I have with the hand placement is she's holding a curved sword slightly in front of her but I'm not finding any reference and can't seem to convey curved-ness with the edge facing the viewer without it looking just a badly drawn straight sword.

years ago an artist friend/mentor taught me about shapes and silhouettes and it changed my entire focus from line to shapes. lines are just tools/materials you use to construct the shape.

also sometimes the confidence of a mistake is more appealing than the uncertainty of a correction, tho when, where and how you feel this should or shouldn't be applied is highly subjective and dependent upon style, whatever that may mean to you

also want to make it clear that i still very much consider myself intermediate as well and any and all of this should probably be taken with a few grains of salt

i would avoid horizontal mirroring, it tends to produce an overtly eerie/sterile feel, even if you're doing a refsheet, but that's just me

also, unless you're going to be 3d modeling these characters you can get away with much more natural stances than the A pose

if you are 3d modeling i take back what i said about the mirroring, it will save you a lotta time and stress, tho i highly suggest not using it all the way through, mostly just for construction, then flipping the canvas for detailing

one last thing, i'd personally tighten up the shape of the girls right (our left) boob so that it more closely resembles the other more naturally shaped one.

>>2753608
Thanks... I think it has something to do with my traditional background. I used to do acrylics and draw in pencils a lot. I find that doing line drawing with a real pen helps when you transition digitally.

On getting better... Everyone has their own way of learning and there is no one-mold-fits-all. However, i think the best way to improve is to observe from real life. People who worship and grind anatomy masters like Loomis or Hampton often forget that those are just supplements to help with your live drawing observations. Live drawing is the key. If you have an atelier nearby you can check it out. Or people-watch with your sketchbooks. Real gestures involve real people, not posemaniacs dummies in awkward poses.
