Animenative Art/Stylization General

>>2367599
bg line art is competing with midground
control line weight with coherence or you're communicating things wrong, so, if you keep linework, keep bg with hinner lines than fg

It's going nice, but I'm sad that you didn't exploit the opportunity of having a model for yourself, that pose is shit

body language communicates too, that pose is boring, if you don't push your models they will only stand there, art is about contrasts, there's none right there, even hips and shoulders are paralels, it's completly frontal

consider looking old masters for inspiration next time, bet you can get way greater results if you plan it properly

how is it?

>>2370176
Make his right leg stand out more. The pose of his left arm doesn't feel strong, if he's about to slash it should be straightened out.

>>2370191
Ears and noses are the facial parts that keep growing with age, old guy just looks like a kid with a beard.

>>2370190
i started drawing the construction over your drawing and i noticed a few things.
1. he is a midget with a buff body
2. legs are short and lack dynamics imo- he doesnt look like he is jumping forward
3. shoulder looks like it is detached from socket, thats why the arm looks long, or u made the body too wide still contributing to the midget look

fix head n neck, lengthen legs, fix arm, add more movement and i think it can work?

>>2370206

haha funny that you noticed that, I actually drew the old guy as a kid first and then randomly added a beard but i guess i forgot to fix the ears and nose.

feels like you just badly reffed a DNA panel.
Every plane is oriented just slightly oddly (his right leg vs ass his shoulder vs abdomen) and your foreshortening/perspective is really bad. try choosing a horizon line next time

>>2370594

I'm not hating it.

>>2370007
I really like this! For the right one though, I feel like the character would have a hard time supporting that huge thing on her back? Especially because the stance she's in puts all of her weight on that peg leg, which doesn't look very sturdy.

>>2370632

Have you caught yourself avoiding more complex pieces for the sake of speed?

>>2370766
i think it's a problem with rhythm/gesture. The main line of the figure is straight vertical, which doesn't suggest to the viewer the lean and twist that goes into a pitch. So it ends up reading stagnate and stiff. I definitely recommend doing a bunch of gestures based off pitchers. Actually, any kind of gesture. It'll really bring your figures to life.

>>2370583
Is Eto's hair really that long? also the left eye I feel like it needs to be curved a bit more, Right now both eyes look the same size even the one should be obscured slightly

Beginner here, learning the basics and what not. Breaking things down into shapes, anatomy, etc etc. As I continue my studies, I'm just curious to know when will you know it's a good time to job into stylization?

I have ideas for characters, and I have certain styles I like to look at. Curious to know when your studies will start to involve Stylize?

>>2371230
What the fuck is this body? Are you blind?

>>2371358
whenever the fuck u want just go for it brah

>>2371336
3rd, for sure. But push it a bit more (maybe a bit more crouched).

First looks too awkward and stiff
Second looks off balanced

>>2371230
fix the right leg , it looks uncomfortably awkward like its twisting

>>2371336
i like no3 the most

>>2371385
Really? Oh, I thought you needed some kind of understanding before tackling stylize.

>>2371119
How do perspective lines help determine how the body looks? Any advice/books/tutorials/etc?

>>2371336

No.3

You might want to make that right arm read more clearly. It's tangent to the shoulder/chin. Look up silhouettes.

This looks so good, what brush settings do you use for your lineart?

>>2372225
not that. absolutely not that. does that color look good even on its own?

>>2372397
I was told yellow green was the complimentary of red-violet

>>2372404
use pure white and 15% yellow rather than crap colors, then you can use color adjustments to make ambient light coherent with the bg

>>2372404
don't rely on what someone tells you. do you like that color? because it contrasts so much with the violet figure it looks like puke

other than that, you could go for more polished smooth lines. there's a lot of dabs that exist outside where they should - and they don't look like it was done on purpose. clean it up more

I'm not digging that palette at all, it's over-saturated, no balance and overly-cartoony for your style
not even anime does this
don't get me wrong I really like your style (although you could give him a chin)

>>2372842
composition is not good, you need a better understanding of space and get a better sense of flow

>>2372858
big anatomical improvement
it could use some more contrast though

>>2372858
the left goblin nose's shadow does something weird on her cheeck, as it makes an edge that shouldn't be there
the right hand of the right goblin is too dark compared to that nut, make it reflect a bit of that brown maybe
it looks great overall, those typos tho

>>2372858
Right ones nose seems to be coming out from too far to (our) right. I'm also a little confused what's going on with how her back is connecting with her hips.

>>2374724
Yes they do, try doing it yourself. Notice how the angle on the ones on the picture pulls back, as if you were pulling on them. And that's without getting into the position of the thumb, ring, and pinky.

>>2374728
Show more of her palm. Why do the fingertips bend back like that?

>>2374731
The best way to fix it is to simple do the pose yourself and see what you've done wrong. Currently, the glaring one is that the thumb, ring, and pinky are as if they are seen from one angle, while the middle and index fingers from another. The ring and pinky simply cannot look the way they do with the knuckles. And how exactly does the thumb 'hook' over the index finger like that and get down to the tips of the ring and pinky? It is physically impossible. Take a picture of yourself in the same hand pose and use that as a reference, simply the easiest way to do it and to learn from.

>>2374682
Woah, thanks anon, I'm really flattered that you set it as your wallpaper!

It's still weird af. you can't bend the ring finger and pinky like that, just try it with your hand and you'll notice. The thumb should be a bit lower as well.

the guy who redlined you has the right idea.

I suck at drawing eyes. Girl eyes specifically (I don't care about dudes). I'm fine with drawing pretty much anything but this. I can visualize what I want to do but applying it just doesn't work. It's like I can't manage to find my own "style" (yeah I know muh style), or in other words I can't find what'd feel right to me. I could probably copy eyes from whatever manga or anime or someone else's style but it'd just feel too wrong to do this.

I would like to gather different opinions from you guys - how did you get good at drawings eyes? What made it all click for you? Does anyone happen to have resources or hacks to draw eyes? Did you just copy eyes you found were cool from your favorite artists and with time slowly altered them until you were satisfied or something? Any tips/advice?

I'll check back until the thread dies, I appreciate any reply. Thanks for reading.

That's some awfully generic character design. Like the kinda shit a 16 year old would pull from the top of their head when prompted to "uhh, draw a cool girl?" by a classmate. Does your visual library entirely consist of shit-tier pleb animu? What is that for anyway? What universe does that character belong to, what does she do? This has to be obvious in character design. I mean not to be harsh man, I really don't want to say it this way, but there is absolutely nothing that stands out as recognisable and creative or gives a sense of the character's personality. Not to mention version 2 and 4 are awful from a color theory pov. Dude I'm sorry but if you want to create something that's interesting you'll have to use your imagination better than this.

I miss some marks at her right foot, it's foreshortening a bit but you've just drawn the shape of it, make some hatching lines like you did in the end of the kwee, or some folds, or some edges

your line weight is not making too much sense, as it's perfect in some places, there's none at all for arms vs background, further part of tits vs torso/arms, and also hair, it's all the same size against bg, face or anything else
It's not a mistake, but keep in mind to make better linearts

>>2377527
I like your construction
the armour pieces are so random, parts are not coherent with each other, it's changing styles, and those claws are a bit weird for a brute-alike

>>2377529
Like the torso, the feet's details were expected to be more with the coloring, hence why I didn't add much.

For the lines I guess I does was a bit more random this time, should write down at the beginning the size I'll pick depending on the line to be more consistent.

So something is extremely off in this picture and I can't tell exactly what. I think it's the legs/butt/hip area. Crit, advice, or redline would be extremely appreciated. Still need to draw her other arm, but I want to fix what's off first.

>>2377577
lenght of the legs dude, upper part is too small.

>>2377577

waist is too thick, it's a profile
her but goes too backwards
her upper legs are as thick as the lower leg, and their lenght is almost in a ratio of 1:2

your reference might have foreshortening, but you've not drawed form at all, only copyed shapes
masure and construct

>>2377806
Diff anon answered you, but I'm kind of confused, if you compared the hand at least to the face you fucked up. Also look at the thickness between the two arms. The other one is much thicker. Also since her left (our right) arm is closer it should be at least as thick if not more so than the other one.

Just for you I will make up a new word next thread, sensei.

>>2377907
Agh man, clean up your rendering. More than that, study anatomy and proportions, the legs are still wrong, so are the arms. The figure looks disjointed, the body doesn't read as a whole structure the parts of which are interconnected by muscles and bones but rather as "well, here are the arms... here are the legs... here's the torso... the head...". The neck especially gives that away. A good way to communicate the structural nature of the body in which all elements are connected is to practice gesture drawing - you seek to portray the figure with accuracy with only a few lines. You can also draw muscles and bones on top of the gesture after you're done to practice anatomy. Btw, "the local color is green so i'll make the shadows a darker shade of green/the local color is reddish so i'll make the shadows a darker shade of reddish" is not how color works. There needs to be variation, otherwise the piece looks unnatural. The color of the shadows depends on the surrounding environment, that of the lighted areas depends on the lightsource. I also have a little trouble understanding where the light is coming from and why her torso is not touched by light when 1) it's not covered by the hair and 2)the leg that's facing the same direction as the torso is lighted.

Nice job on the hand though, also god-tier taste in women. Are you the Etofag who drew her fully clothed before?

Could I get some feedback on this? Trying to design a villain for a story idea, she's a bombastic pop singer with a cold & condescending off-stage personality, and her songs have the power of hypnosis. I know the facial expression doesn't really match the character type yet, but anything else I could get to push the design in the right direction would be a lot of help

>>2378168

The best way to color this is don't. It already looks particularly striking. If you're going to, at least save a copy of the B&W version.

>>2378298
If her deal is pop and hypnotising then I'd say use a more surreal colour pallette as at the moment just looks like some girl in a raincoat

>>2378305

Got it, thanks! I'll throw on some dreamy music and see what I can do about working up a color scheme more informed by that style, I'm thinking softer pinks and blues would probably be closer to what I'm looking for?

>>2378298
She's very plain, doesn't come accross as a villan, and nothing about her says pop singer.

First, look at how pop singers dress, both today and in the past (probably to the 80s at least). If you want her to really say villan, a more 80s pop look, with modern design would be a good direction. For the hypnosis, some kind of symbol for it, or a more mysterious color pallette (Purple always says villan and it works for "Paranormal" type things too so thats your best bet for the main theme!).

Additionally, if she's a pop star, she's gotta be pretty. I know you said the face don't match already but still mentioning it.

Make sure you design stage outfits as well as normal outfits for her, and consider an "in cognito" outfit as well since pop stars go under cover a lot to hide from the press.

I'd say for her offstage outfit, give it a connection to her onstage outfit in design so it looks like its still within her tastes.

This is a cool idea. Not super original (one of the MLP movies had singers like this for the antagonist and I'm pretty sure something like that was in Scooby Doo once too) but you can put an original spin on it with the design and her personality.

Remember the best villans have loads of personality aside from just what you get at face value. Compare an early DC comic with the joker to how he might appear in a comic today to see what I mean.

>>2378251
Agreed on this. If you're really set on adding more, make sure it's subtle because this is seriously gorgeous as is.

>>2378351

Wow, this is... absurdly helpful. Thank you so much for taking the time to write all of this! I'm looking into other pop singers for inspiration, Grimes and Katy Perry are where I've started but I know I need to branch out too, I'll look to other kinds of pop stars as well. I'm a big fan of Metric and Janelle Monae, I feel like there's a lot there I can use
