when did alt became /fag/?

[Anonymous No.6153325]

opinion on using a very basic brush such as a small hard round no opacity when doing studies?

I feel like pencil like brushes (and the pencil itself) with texture to them make the drawing look way better than it actually is

removing the texture from the brush, all line weight, etc leaves me with just a plain line - quite like a 1px brush some people use

and its very unforgiving, suddenly everything I draw looks like shit

does it make sense, will it lead faster improvement (like not using the undo button) or its just a pointless restriction?

[Anonymous No.6156424]

>>6155887
Learn your forms. And I don't mean the basic ones, I mean be able to rotate and adjust their sizes at will as if they were clay. Once you eat, sleep, and breath forms you'll also want to push your gestures more. Ignore anatomy and go all in on gesture. These building blocks will help you a long way when it comes to experimenting... And besides those, what's left is just that. Experimenting. Go through your inspirations and collect the more experimental ones you like and really consume those pieces and see which things click. Which things from different artists happen to fit like a puzzle.... Or study the styles in their entirety. Every style you learn can and will end up combined with your other styles from time to time and eventually you'll naturally include a multitude of styles in your repertoire

I mean Amaro does advances to kitsurubami in episode 5 and 6 I believe, it's even covered on the wiki. And yeah you could argue that drawing her like that isn't the most in character thing in the universe but I wasn't trying to go for characterization , I just thought the designs would be neat to mess around with. Also yeah it's defo easier to read given that I had a palette to take inspiration from.

stop fucking shading, you dont know how to and brute forcing it like this doesnt do anything
stop trying to draw poses that are too hard for you, go do ten thousand gestures and then maybe come back to the hard poses, stick to drawing them sitting up straight or sitting down straight, nothing else until you have done thousands of gestures (on pencil and paper)
stop outlining random muscles and tendons like those back knees, looks like shit
stop drawing backgrounds, you suck at the foreground, which is more important.
stop using an anti-aliased brush, you are too stupid and bad to use that yet, stick with a pencil with a really thick texture or a crayon brush, and then work from that.
do some fucking studies man, this is atrocious, its so fucking ugly.

I like the concept, a bridge covered in ribbons, why the hell not.
The perspective of the bridge does look very dodgy though. Right now tiles that cover the bridge make it seem like the bridge is noticeably inclined to the left, but it's clearly not the case because the arches on the bridge (judging by support beams) are strictly vertical.

Personally, for this particular shot I'd use 1-point perspective instead, with vanishing point at the end of the bridge, as it is now.

Also, if you chop about 1/10th off the top of your picture, the horizon line will separate the sky and the ground at approximately 1:2 ratio, in so applying the rule of thirds.

[Anonymous No.6166484]

>>6166321
The colors look alright, though the lighting doesn't. The wall and the blinds should actually obstruct the light from the outside, and so the light spot on the floor should be a lot smaller, and the girl should be (mostly, if not completely) in the shadow.

Here's my approximation for the light spot on the floor.

[Anonymous No.6166526]

>>6166484
I'd say this anon's approximation might be a little too close to the wall, but he's right. Her shadow should also be angled a little more to the left since the window is at an angle to her right.
I also think it's a little odd that she's looking up at the ceiling when there's nothing there for the viewer to look at. It's a bit of misdirection in the composition. I'd have her looking forward, either at the camera or not, or downwards at whats in her hand for a more "candid" feeling glance

[Anonymous No.6166528]

>>6166484
Thank you! Yeah for colours I mean everything, even the lightning. I was also thinking that right under the window, both on the wall and floor, it's should be darker, but i

Changed her expression, put her almost completely in the dark (even if her skin colours are not that dark), and decided to completely remove the "ray of light" and added the "silhoutte" of the window on the floor.
Also, I only left her projected shadow on the floor only where's the window thing, but it doesn't feel right, maybe I should jut remove it.

[Anonymous No.6166620]

>>6153325
When using pencil-like textures you can get away with overlapping your lines because it has that raw appeal to it. As you said, the plain brush is unforgiving, overlapping lines look like shit and it forces you to be precise with your strokes. It not pointless by any means, but it takes quite a bit of adjustment, and when you get real good at it you'll prolly wanna switch back to the pencil texture anyways. The upside to that your lines will look better than ever.

Looks like one of the eyes is trying to escape from the face, a pretty common issue. To mitigate it, roughly reconstruct the face planes using symmetry of the face, and perspective.

Here some honest to god attempts at designing some good looking characters using Hijabs and things like that. Past few years I noticed a lot more characters with those things on and always bothered me how grounded and boring most of the designs were, specially in compassion with other characters, like they were much more tokens to make sure everyone was included that actually characters that would fit the world as they should. Kinda like the "black female character" in game trailers that is just some chick with a afro, always looking the fucking same.

I think you can have a lot of fun with the idea and do some crazy stuff, another thing that inspired to try doing this is how much whores care about fashion/ hairstyles and makeup and this sort of religion were you can't express yourself that way as easily I wanted to experiment with some stuff to see what you could make without getting out too much of the concept, but still getting out. I tried making the characters without the hair bits, but anime characters without hair or bangs just look off.

Personally I would give myself a 5/10. 6/10 of tops. I'm not the best at designing, even more with this sort of limitation, but I think it looks better then what people try to make but not as good as I want to be.

Anon the whole point of a hijab is that they hide a woman's hair since a woman exposing her hair makes her an uncontrollable promiscuous whore and muslim men lack any kind of self-control and seeing a woman's hair gives them raging boners they simply can't abide and simply must insert into any kind of hole.

[Anonymous No.6169548]

>>6169540
Yeah, I'm aware. But I'm more interested in making something that looks good and is closely related with the idea then just following the strict rules even if it's wrong. Is like giving characters different colors for their hairs in a way, not really a thing in real life but for a cartoon show is not something you question.

I thought as much when I looked at her pointing hand. Judging by the text, her pointing to the dog is the main action of the picture, but the pointing hand is small and almost featureless, so the main action is kind of getting lost visually.
Also, clenched fist on her left hand maybe? And her head looks misplaced.

Honest question: what is this pose trying to convey? It look plain awkward for no reason at all.
If you can't think of an interesting pose for your character, you can try adding some things for them to interact with — for example, a cup of tea, or a musical instrument, a chair or a sofa, a bike, etc.. Maybe she's caught in the middle of a midnight snack, with sweets in both hands and an open fridge behind her. Maybe she's at a karaoke bar with a mug of beer in one hand and a mic in the other.

Finding a subject for drawing is part of creative problem solving activity that is art.
But this is less about what to draw and more about how to make whatever you're drawing a bit more interesting. When you're thinking about who to draw, simply also think about what they will be doing, that's it.

I'm liking the girl's look overall, very refreshing, though personally I wouldn't push her torso anatomy that hard.

Overall, I think this would've been a very sweet illustration if only you'd chosen something slightly subtler than a visible erection for the guy's reaction — for example, a bottle/can of soda in the guy's hand exploding into a fountain all by itself.

[Anonymous No.6183265]

>>6183150
Ah.
Then I'd recon you will have to study art work that you try to aim for, and do what >>6183174
said and simplify your designs.
I'll be honest and tell you straight up that you need to render less, and focus doing vibrant flats and lean on two color tones where the darkest tone is the shadow.
Draw clear contrast of the light and dark tones to make it pop, while applying a soft colored, bold and even outline (like what you did with the crab).

IMO I like the way you pulled off the mantis.

[Anonymous No.6183287]

>>6183182
general rule of thumb
remove hatching
remove smaller features (things like lots of spikey hair or weird squiggles)
keep patterns to be simple large shapes as opposed to the tiny dots or intricate mazes.
lighting should be simple large shadows/highlights which you mostly have already but it gets funky on some of them.

That aside, I do think your comics could benefit by having more props and backgrounds. And the + shape panel layout can be confusing to read at times (i.e. where to start and which panel comes when.
