Alternative Art/Stylization General

[Anonymous No.5103362]

Previous >>5074230

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.

dangit, I killed the last thread

I've been redesigning a bunch of Marvel comics guys and breaking out of my artstyle as well. Even though these sketches are more stiff, I wanted to go Trigger/Gainax anime like Dead Leaves or Kill La Kill

No, thats just a normal hard brush...
A binary brush is just a brush with no anti aliasing. Basically no smoothing around the edges.

[Anonymous No.5107435]

>>5107389
It’s the way he uses line to show the form and create the texture. The negative space in between the lines is just as important. Also the way he uses color - the flat washes with incredibly smooth gradients and transitions. His later stuff was colored digitally.

[Anonymous No.5107947]

fix those feet, it's a hard angle so don't feel bad but they're pretty poor. mainly the top area around the balls of the feet, look up reference for that angle.
think of the folds in fabric while drawing, though it looks like her outfit is skintight anyway but it can still add a lot of depth.

[Anonymous No.5108094]

>>5107802
The legs look like one solid mass, and the way you drew her hips on the visible side (no discernible "outward" shape at the hips/legs) makes her ass seem too wide. Hands and feet are weird, and maybe the forearm, too. Boobs seem to be magnetically attracted to the ceiling. And it should be "flexible" -- dunno how I missed that. I'd say it looks rough, but not bad.

look at art styles that you find appealing and try to emulate that, the lack of line weight does not help the style at all

should've used a more textured brush for the shading instead, would fit the linework and the overall aesthetic more, still like the concept/composition, keep it up

I saw this Seinfeld thing on comedy. He said something about jokes being always offensive, but if you deliver it carefully you can get people to laugh at something offensive. I thought i could make a drawing that was just the right amount of gross. Not blatantly gross such that you would immediately be offended, but subtly gross so that you would look at it for a bit and be like “wait, what the fuck was i just looking at”

Hey guys, /beg/ here.

This place has been fairly slow lately so I figured now's a good time to pop in and ask for some advice/guidance.

At a stage where I'm happy enough with my sketches that I've finally started to try linework/inking and colouring.

Anyone, I was hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction. I'm going to make a follow up post with some artwork I like and what I would like to incorporate into my own work.

Also the blue looks way too dark. Will have to try something lighter but mute.

Also, on that note, does anyone know how to make the G pen brush react a bit more like the Real Pen brush from CSP? i absolutely LOVE the real pen brush, it's precise in the best ways possible when drawing, i like the G pen but it feels way too out of my control.

I've been doing a bunch of anatomy studies recently, I tried to apply them to my work but the character came out looking kind of bulbous or stocky. Let me know what you think of this touhou I drew

I think this works well, the silhouette of the character reminds me of other drawings I've seen in a similar style. The poofy arms/legs capped off by thin joints is pretty appealing. I think it's just the clothes themselves that could do with a bit more research/reference... I'm not familiar with the streetwear style, but the cargo pants pocket sort of stands out

For the second one, the only thing I can think of is that the arm reaching out feels a tiny bit flat. I guess the values could be pushed more, under the skirt for instance, but I assume that would come at a later stage of polish anyway

Blues: make the shading more purple and highlights more green
pinks: shading bluer, highlights more red/orange
skin: start with a pinkish or reddish hued color (probably pinkish since the other colors are cold) and shade with a color that's more saturated, darker, and colder
basically, shade with colder colors, highlight with warmer colors

I think you exaggerated the contours of the leg and the forearms too much, it makes it look like her legs are inflated and in that pose you shouldn't be able to see any of the elbow bump of the right arm, it should show more of the inside.
Also the way you drew the right (her left) leg and cropped the picture just before her knees makes it seems like she doesnnt have lower legs. Everything else looks good though

[Anonymous No.5133088]

>>5133013
Hey, thanks for the ig, expect a follow!

There are a few things but I feel like it's more of a case of personal preferences rather than actual constructive criticism.

but

I feel like some of the additions on Akira's jacker lack form. This seems to be intentional on your part but I would prefer to see the pad on his left shoulder raised and the two studs on his left sleeve show a bit more of their form, even if it's just implied through an exaggerated wonkiness of shape or more defined shadowed areas on them.

Thick black lines are also not my preference for denoting folds in clothes.

Like I said though, these are more akin to personal preference rather than things that I think are wrong with your work.

>>5126486
>>5132862
The feathers on the wings feel lazy. I know it's in keeping with the overall style but i think if you found a better way to stylise the, it would really help.

Also the leaf wand looks a little boring. There's no interesting shadow shapes like the rest of your piece. I know it's a flat plane and there isn't much you can do with it but I don't know. I just don't like it.

In saying that though, over all, it's a very charming character and style.

true, sometimes a certain objects or certain lighting will cast shadows with colors that have to break the "rule", but it's clear that the guy >>5132695 has beg-tier level of color understanding so i just told him the basics of what i know.
also the cold shadows and warm highlights rule should still be used outside of those very specific situations where there are warm shadows and cold highlights.
also most of the artwork in that video still follow the rule
3:36 lighting may be cold, but the yellow ball is shaded by red. red is a colder color than yellow
4:00 the oranges are shaded by reds and purples. and the darkest parts of his face? cold
4:09 again, oranges shaded by purples
4:26 it's saturation that makes the shadows glowing hot, not the hue. her dress follows the rule
5:26 those aren't even shadows...
7:22 red is still a colder color than yellow

I don't think a redline would benefit you here, all anyone would be doing is making the drawing for you,
but a promise is a promise...

You really just need to focus on your fundamentals here. It's all pretty flat. Practice your basic shapes
and forms. Draw from life to figure out how things actually look and work, etc. All stuff you probably
know, but just need to actually do. Find a way to organize your thoughts, label things as you draw in
your head, come up with internal rules to help you remember things as you draw. If X, then Y, If Y then
Z, that sort of stuff.

Keep drawing the things you like if it's what keeps you going, but you've got some work to put in.

yourself differently. Maybe it's the start of something better for you.

I get it, as long as you act hard, you don't need to be vulnerable, you don't need to put yourself out there, you don't need to leverage
the courage you already have in you. That's no way to live, anon.

I'm just putting out a helping hand, it's on you to take it.

Cut down on shitposting, maybe?
Perhaps your tl;dr larps as some benevolent enlightened guru and half-assed phone scribbles impress /beg/lets, but not me. This is the last (You) you're getting.

Ah, so cynical, but I guess it's to be expected. I'm not trying to impress you man, I'm just trying to talk to you.
I know there's a real person behind these messages with thoughts and emotions as deep as mine, if not more so.
I get the sense that you're carrying some unnecessary shit, but if you aren't ready to put that shit down, it's cool.
I sincerely hope you figure things out.
