Alternative Art/ Stylization General

>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.

Remember have proper posture when art-ing or you'll end up having to go to the doctor for 2 shots and a liquid pad to your back.

Second one but you should probably choose a light source. The lighting on the table doesn't match the lighting on her. Not sure if this is your style but her shoulders are way too small and her neck is really long. Very nice hand and table cloth though!

Your head shape and hair is for a face looking straight ahead, but you drew your face as if it's looking to the right. So the face is sliding off your head and making the head look fucking huge on the left side. Like, try drawing an ear or redlining the cranium.

Thank you.
Even with the main light source in-between her and the table?
>> but her shoulders are way too small and her neck is really long
Hmm. I've checked it against the mirror, and the neck seems to be fine, although I kind of see why are you saying that—it's a fault of insufficient pose research on my side.
The shoulders seem to be three faces wide too.

Regarding your picture, the hairline looks strange in the way, as her hair seem to grow from the top of her head there rather than the hairline, and she sure has meaty arms for a girl.

>>3401175
How do they work, though? Care to do a redline? I didn't want to make a full-on realistic-shaded face because 2D faces lose their appeal fast when 3D-fied (by my unskilled hands, at least), so I tried to limit the shading.

[Anonymous No.3401730]

[Anonymous No.3401766]

So a friend of mine once wonder why he barely got any commission, beside being a no name artist. I think it's because his work still too sloppy to be justified as painting style, and he's basically only draw this one expression. I think maybe you guys can spot any other problem.
The one on the right is a recent one. The left is one commission work I know he have. And as far as I know, no one ever tell him any problem of his work and said his style is already cool, because artist is sensitive creature and all, even though he actually asked us to be upfront with opinion.

Done coloring it. 7 hours in total.

What could be making a Wacom tablet temporarily stop responding to input every few minutes? I've noticed that it often happens when I go for the mouse with the pen still in my hand to move the canvas or select something in the interface. Could it be that there is an electromagnetic field near the mouse that negatively affects the pen's hardware?

Wow I made the OP, nice. I actually haven't touched this in like a week, so I did a bit more today. Need to actually finish the lineart and the background before I move onto dicking around with colour.

Dude work on your color theory. Buy a book or something because I can still recognize you by your ugly hair. Also it looks like its shaded too softly in the face and the creases on the hand dont really fit the anime style and make the hand look old.

Love the torso but the rest is kind of broken. I'd say go a little bit less extreme with the leg foreshortening. Maybe smaller or more curved towards the knee. Top of head is also too visible/big for that angle. Arms a bit short and hands too big. It's good for a first time though.

[Anonymous No.3402590]

>>3402584
That neck is fat as fuck. You should seriously think about slimming it a lot. You also might want to look up some references for wrists and collar bones, and it looks like her umbrella is too low, both to be practical and to not collide with her head. If you look at photos, you may notice that they're usually held closer to the bottom, but the placement of the hands is fine.

Her right shoulder also seems to be a bit far out, though that may just be a perspective issue. It could easily be resolved by changing the edge to make the sleeve appear to be hanging off.

Why do you find the hair ugly, though? Could you be more specific? The shapes, the colors (dirty/unsaturated/not fitting the nearby colors/wrong highlights), the presence of texture—what is it that makes it looks "ugly" to you?

bro i feel your suffering. but seriously, take this image as it is into ps. painting with cs is seriously impossible. painting was more my specialty over lineart before i got cs and i tried painting in it and it just has a big problem with colour display and blending. the best way to blend is the round brush with pen pressure in ps, cs is more like sai, it has a lot of smudgy painter tools but theyre really worthless...
i think overall the character looks salvagable, but you need to look at the values and your workflow. if you want to check the greyscales, make a new layer with "colour" setting, entirely black and try to figure out where the issues lie. i think your biggest problem is rendering, which im personally gonna attribute to cs (its great for lineart, not so much for colour) to be honest
also i would do redlines but i dont really want that typical /ic/ shit tornado where people have to redline each others redlines because everyone wants to one up each other (and it usually happens) but i recommend to look at some photo refs of people who are posed at a similar angle
for the future, try blocking out your shapes, not just filling in lineart, i mean its possible to paint over well coloured lineart but i dont think its gonna work if you limit yourself to the spaces you made with the lines this way around
maybe try to fix up the lineart and colour it up? i dont really know what else i can say
also sorry for the gigantic ass reply desu

Ah yes, the dreaded intermediate level where it's bad enough that you don't get compliments but it's good enough that you don't get critiques either.

All I can say is it looks fine for the most part, lighting is somewhat ambiguous since it looks like the light comes from 2 different directions depending on which region you're looking at. Shoulder looks weird melting into the shoulder/neck region but otherwise I'd like to see it finished.

[Anonymous No.3403433]

>>3403420
I do wonder if that's part of the problem. I tend to post things that aren't finished because I, you know, want help finishing them. For instance I don't want to clean and render this picture and THEN try to fix the colors, so I ask about it at this stage. But I notice people mostly only comment on things that are finished or nearly finished. That doesn't work for me. When I'm almost done or done with something I'm not looking for crit anymore. I go post it on my social media, not here. I can get my fill of compliments over there. I come here to get help getting to that stage and it seems like less and less people are interested in helping with that part of the process.
Oh well. At least you helped me though so thank you, I appreciate it.

do you do the art all by yourself, or does your pal help you once he is done with the story? Roughs+Inking are probably slower than he is with the story, so he should probably atleast have the flexibility to take some of the work off your hands.

I do everything art-related myself. He's got zero art skills. I'm helping him learn how to properly draft names, as that would speed up the process, and he'll be doing the lettering, possibly the toning too, we just gotta get a 2nd copy of CSP for his comp.

>Roughs+Inking are probably slower than he is with the story, so he should probably atleast have the flexibility to take some of the work off your hands.
Oh, considerably. He can blast through things quite fast. Whereas it takes me a couple days to get a spread done.

>Considering that is how you want to finance yourselves, you wouldn't want to use your little money IF you made it, for assistants because your inking etc. is too slow.
Absolutely. I've never worked with assistants though, and I'm also very meticulous about things, so there's a part of me that just wants to draw everything myself. But considering the monumental task that this is, it would be wise to get some assistants. Especially since it could speed up the release schedule. Currently, I can handle 30ish pages a month, by myself, without killing myself to get it done. However, the scope of the series is quite large, like a 100 chapters large more or less. At that pace, that's roughly 10 years of this, and there are other projects we wanna work on after TS. So, getting assistants I think will be an inevitability. First step though, is getting a publisher.

I'm still trying to learn how to paint so take all this with a grain of salt. Looks like you're trying to go for an anime style, so that's what I'm going to assume for this.

- Don't paint over the lineart too much. If you really want that lineless look, you can always go for darker values around the edges but right now it looks like you have this uncanny airbrushed gestalt going since you basically have no edges defined outside of shapes instead of shapes+values.

- Using the airbrush is fine for early render stages and for finishing touches, but you should refrain from using it 95% of the process. You learn much more using a hard round/square brush, not to mention you have much more control over what you render. If you *really* don't like how defined the edge of the brush is, you can always use a slightly softer variant. Be sure the brush has opacity pressure enabled and size pressure disabled.

Try to practice with less complicated things before diving into something like this so you can get a better feel for digital painting. Feel free to ask any questions, I kinda just rambled as usual.

The biggest problem to me is Dixie Kong's face. It looks super flat when the character is supposed to have a more rounded monkey face. I would have positioned her more like the other girl and extended the bottom of her face out more. The only other big issue is the feet of the girl, they look completely unfinished Like you just gave up, the lack of detail on them is jarring. There are plenty of other issues, like Dixie's torso and eyes, but those two stuck out to me the most.
Keep trying, I find the art decently pleasing to look at and despite what >>3404788 said you are not the worst in this thread.

the most detail is in the furthest point in the image.....think about that for a second.
also the buildings look like a cheap photoshop trick, and leave the image feeling hollow.

perspective on his face is fucked up.

the drawing features 3 different inking styles within the work, almost one for each plane of the scene (foreground, middle-ground, background) and leaves the work feeling patchy.

move on from this one, it looks like you have spend more time on needless details rather than actually try and learn something.

you have neglected drawing anything that normally gives a character more life and "character" (like hands and a good gesture) and instead have opted for the easiest to portray pose one could choose (a behind pose with no legs or hands/arms to be seen, essentially a fucking square)

nothing in your image is difficult to draw or grasp the concept of, only time consuming.

Hey man, thanks for the feedback. I get where you're coming on the atmospheric perspective, but that was an intentional choice, for two reasons. Number 1, it was to intentionally guide the eye to the two main elements of the piece. One, the white tiger surrounded by the dark red of the jacket, and 2nd the mountain. As it is like this, the eye travels from right to left across the page just as it should. And the Second reason was for the sake of contrast. There's a lot of contrasting elements on this, but one of the major ones, is the contrast of the detailed elements in the city, vs. the lesser detailed parts of the MC one the foreground. This kinda creates a certain rhythm with it that makes it very visually aesthetic, and aesthetic was one of the main things I was going for with it, since it's meant to be a promotional piece. You know, I wanted something that looked very iconic, and had a strong visual style.

cont...

[Anonymous No.3406780]

>>3406776
2/2

That's also why I chose that specific pose. Because it's very iconic. You're right that it doesn't convey character, but that's cause it's not meant to. I kinda wanna keep his character much more subdued, and a mystery within that piece, as the first chapter is solely focused on character. The illustration is really more about theme, and setting, and while not intentional >>3406727 for example seemed to pick up on some things. Personally, I picked the mountain because Mt. Fuji is very iconic of Tokyo, but that anon is right in that it does carry symbolism, especially since Fuji also carries a lot of religious and spiritual connotation. It's stuff like that what I was going for, people being able to infer different things about the theme and setting based on the details of the piece, while at the same time it being very visually appealing due to the various forms of contrast and the composition. I think those elements help to work together to create intrigue in people, and that's what I want mostly.
A:
>hey this is cool
followed by:
>hey, this looks interesting

And the point I'm getting to, is that you're allowed to break the rules to accomplish stuff like that. We're artists after all, and with that, we have the means to twist things around a little in order to service the piece. You know what I mean? I'll leave this painting by Goya as an example. You'll notice how he intentionally messes with the realism of the piece in order to service the composition.

Noted on the face though. I noticed that too right as I uploaded it, and fixed it. It was bugging me too.


Funny you mentioned "Square" as a means to describe his pose, as that's also intentional, lol. It's symbolic, and square are present a lot throughout the illustration.

[Anonymous No.3406829]

>>3406780
pic related is iconic back pose that moves the eyes and makes the "badass looking away pose" less generic, whilst still being a trope (mostly due to the perspective used) in other words, its harder to draw so it doesnt need mindless details to trick the viewer, its just superior.

the piece still reads badly man, the composition is so flat, and you have attempted to put a strong vertical main object in a landscape setting, it dosn't work, if you want to make it long, make it long, if you want to make it tall, make it tall, not both.

and no, i mentioned square because its easy to draw, in your piece you have literally avoided all things that are hard to draw.
and the only "hard" thing you drew, you fucked up.

introduce some more difficult to achieve perspective in your next drawings, what you have here is boring, flat and sad.

im only saying this because you display the abilty to dedicate to an image for a while, its just that the time spent on it is decorative instead of progressive.

>features 3 different inking styles
does it? if it does its not noticeable

>opted for the easiest to portray pose
this was the giveaway that you're just crabbin. if the goal is to show off the back of the jacket (and it is) then there is nothing wrong with this pose. (pic related)
in fact, the "square" shape hints at a strong character with rock-solid ideals. he doesnt need to have some crazy anime pose to have personality.

>nothing in your image is difficult to draw or grasp the concept of, only time consuming
"snip snip you didnt HAND RENDER every building's window so its BAD snippety snip"

>you are treating hair as a hat
you heard someone else say this about some other art and are now applying it here, despite being completely wrong. the hair conforms to the head just fine.

Overall, could the image have been done better, pushed further? Yeah, that much is true. But these points aren't helpful to reaching that goal. Theyre just some crab who isnt qualified to be critiquing anything above /beg/, and maybe not even that.

His critique still wasnt valid. He nitpicked. There were some flaws but 90% of his "critique" consisted of nothing.
He critiqued the pose of all things for being too simple, completely ignoring the fact that it is clearly supposed to be simple. The detail problem was also pretty void and lastly this >nothing in your image is difficult to draw or grasp the concept of, only time consuming.
I dont even know what he means by this, as if every image should be difficult, how is that critique?
What the crit dude actually should have said:
>The face looks off and the photoshopped buildings look bad but that isnt as noticeable because of the focus. The way the railing is rendered makes it look out of place and doesnt fit in with the rest.
Anything else, is subjective and or cant be critiqued. Because the dull pose is deliberate. There are very few things wrong with this image on a technical level.

not him but your "rebuttal" isnt really making any case since the crit had some truthful points and in fact wasnt complete bullshit. his implication that the crit wasnt being taken seriously is right, and there isnt a reason as to why is should not be. maybe a bit nit-picky, but there is still stuff to take from it

heres a crit that isnt very nit-picky hopefully

the whole thing looks like it was done with an etch-a-sketch because the line quality is bad.
the lines throughout the entire picture all look the same, so when you add so many lines to the mountain in the back and the building, it becomes very intrusive and cluttering.
Because of all of this, it is hard to pick out a focal point, and though the viewer can eventually decide that the tiger/jacket is it, it looks out of place.
The values dont help with the composition because it is so smooth, and there are very few places where there is a hard break between darks and lights that create interest.
This also goes into the fact that there are two different spots of red in two contrasting parts of the picture that are apart from the jacket. The nip text square, and the graffiti compete with each other.
The jacket as a whole seems pretty forced because of how saturated it is as a whole, but i could see the desaturating of the hair as being helpful.

The character himself looks pretty cool, and there are a bunch of stylistic choices that are interesting. What the other guy said regarding the lines in the background is right, though, as it damages the composition. You should think about the work as a whole because while there are a lot of individual aspects that are cool, they are not all needed, and they even damage it in the long run. Dont work so small

Just using small lines doesnt make it detailed. Usually this would be bad, but the buildings lack all color and there is a huge red spot right in the front. You want less details to not ruin the focus, the focus is not ruined though
>buildings look like a cheap photoshop trick, and leave the image feeling hollow.
Fair enough, thats also because they are photoshoped as the dude said himself. However it does not make it feel hollow because they are completely out of focus. Only if youd want to nitpick youd even look there.
>perspective on his face is fucked up.
only valid point but the crit gives no insight as to what is wrong
>the drawing features 3 different inking styles within the work and leaves the work feeling patchy.
Complete nitpick
>also you are treating hair as a hat, stop that. do some studies of how hair is.
Funny saying that about anime hair. Id say valid point if it looked actually discractingly bad. Nearly everyone could point to doing hair studies. A very small minority has actually mastered hair.

The crit ignores the context of the image itself, scratches the surface of the problems like the face and makes general statements that can apply to everyone here. Only ok points are the pathy inking which is nitpicky, and the face.

youre missing the point, the small lines create density and still causes a distraction. his use of the word "detailed" was poor

not sure what you're getting at
>have to babysit to be a useful critique
>pointing out patchy inking is nitpicky
>maybe if it was distractingly bad
subjective. i think the saturation in the hair calls a lot of attention to it and makes the flaw easily visible, but i would agree otherwise

One of the problems is that she has no back. Even as an exaggerated chest pushed out pose it looks as though a chunk of her has been bitten off. It also makes it seem like one of her breasts are smaller than the other.

"painterly" doesnt mean scribbled, muddy, or messy
i think you missed the points of layering effectively and controlling your edges which are both essential to getting something to look like paint.
you overdid the stroke meme in the neck, but you should be more worried with the basics of painting and not making your work muddy (plus some color theory).
remember that having a piece that has an aesthetic revolving around it not being heavily rendered means that it needs a stronger backbone to make it readable. The referenced picture has strong contrasts that help the comp not be so boring.

Thanks for the tips!

Do you have any further pointers on how to layer the paints properly?
From what I remember, my layers were quite random and didn't have much of a coherent order - what should I do, in this case?
Also, what are some things to keep in mind when controlling edges?

[Anonymous No.3408879]

>>3408813
I'm more of a sketcher myself, but I'm currently trying to learn painting too. because of that, i cant really say too much, but make sure you try to watch other people paint and observe what they do
gurney is pretty solid, but for your tastes dont be afraid to explore and find artists that are more to your liking
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_UmdDnddpg
generally, its a good idea to paint things as a whole and then add details in later layers as trying to paint around objects or trying to match backgrounds while already having something in the foreground completed can make for a very disjointed feeling. actually, my art teacher from middle school used to jam this mantra of Back to front and Big to small, into our heads if that is any help to you.
I'm not sure if it translates well to digital, but lights are more opaque than shadows.

learning how to paint has been difficult because while you can study the use of edges and values in drawings, it doesnt directly translate across mediums in regards to how they are made and employed skillfully
though you can paint like you are drawing with pussy strokes in one layer, i find that your goal is very different from that, and i also find that the things paint is capable of may as well be shown off
hope you improve my dude. imma be painting more after school is over. cya on the otherside
