Dear Batman thread.

I've never really done inking before; here's what I have st my disposal.

What do? Tips and tricks?
>>
>>78379691
Those are fine. Staetdler pigment liners, and Pentel Stylos are better. I don't have any tips or tricks unfortunately, other than practice practice practice.

Oh and if you like the feel you get with those foam tip brush pens, look into getting a Pentel Brush Pen. They last longer, are refillable, and are... just better.

OK, another question, Batman thread.

The theme of the character is like a mix between a magical girl and Persona, she's able to briefly summon the god Ra using his staff. In the picture, should I do his lines with a thicker pen so he has more presence, or should I use thinner lines so he's got less presence on the page?

Rough sketching a pose
>>
>>78380071
Since you are just using mono-weight lines, just outline the two figures' silhoutte in thicker lines, normal lines for interiors.
You can outline the girl in white ink afterwards if you want.
That will give you the more animation feel.

If you wanna try real inking, put some veilum on top and use the brush pens for variable lines that will feel alive and more traditional comic bookish, but you'll have to practice a lot to make it look any decent, of course.
>>
>>78380569
If you want to draw simple webcomics and weeb/toony shit, work on your writing and just practice copying shit you like until you can poop out characters doing X in your sleep, like Korean slave animators.
I'd recommend listening "how to stories/music/art" and "literature" audio lectures like The Teaching Company stuff while you mindlessly groove and train your muscle memory. Within a few months you'll be ready to poop out fanart and webcomics that may make you rich and famous. Also /co/ will call you a hack.

If you wanna draw capeshit, hyper-realistic renderings of tedious regurgitation of naked musclemen corporate fanfiction for the ever shrinking neckbeard market, or wanna job drawing vidya art because someone will have to get paid to draw space marine #23566, you'll have to follow the honorable road of classical European figurative arts, an honorable discipline rich with 500 years of tradition all thrown away by Modernists of the 20th century and only held in respect by commercial hacks like us.

Draw a simple silly webcomic, throw in some black trannies, and they will praise you for being progressive and avant guarde.
Draw an expressive figure art of the human form, and the only thing non-geeks will see is vulgar nudity, body image issues, and theme song to the 60's Batman show, NA NA NA NA NA BATMAN, and smirk at you.
But they will pretend to like it if a movie gets made if it assuming yer rich now.

>>78380569
It means exactly what they say; learning to draw from observation. It's about learning what things ACTUALLY look like, instead of falling back on the simplified artistic shortcuts (ie "symbols") used to represent those objects.

Do some still life drawing (keep it simple to start with, some bottles and boxes maybe, nothing too complicated). Be aware of the proportions and relative sizes of the objects. Think about what is directly in front of you. You know a box has a top, but if it's placed high up, you cannot see the top of the box; therefore you shouldn't be drawing it.

Once you understand the construction and shape of the real thing, THEN you can begin to think about stylisation and simplification. You 'have to learn the rules before you can break them'.

All comicbook art/cartoons are symbols.
Only art that isnt inherently symbolic is instrumental music, the only truly abstract art form.

Is it true that it's difficult for most refined illustrators to create comics?
I don't know if an artist is supposed to focus on refining his/her craft to produce one beautiful image or learn how to make multiple images properly at a faster rate.

>>78386884
>Is it true that it's difficult for most refined illustrators to create comics?
Rare, but not impossible.
Illustrative ability is separate from sequential storytelling that is more akin to writing then visual art.
Most comics have separate writers and artists anyway.

Look at manga & indie comix, where BW (no color) and simpler cartoony art lowers the bar for a lot more people to create their own works as both the writer/artist.

Most comics written and drawn by super high quality artists tend to be like those experimental artfilms without much narrative content. visual poems and such.

Are you getting bored?
Spice things a bit with free drawing.
Just draw whatever interests you in the meantime before heading back to technical practice.
Basically just draw what you want when you're bored of drawing what you need.
>>
>>78379691

Use a cel to protect your sketch. Otherwise prepare for a bunch of ruined sketches. Inking is final, you draw it you keep it, you know that and it will make you nervous, your lines without practice will also be squiggly. You should only ink a sketch directly if you have experience and are confident you will not ruin it. So only do it on sketches which loss you could accept at first.

Cause she got animu no jaws, for her body size and type give appropriate face.
I'm no pro, but here's a quick redline.

Yer drawing a lot muscles but not understanding where they are or how they should work, just copying the general idea of where contour bumps should be.

And most important, you do not have the gesture, the pose down, she is floating, not grounded.

Watch some figurative anatomy tutorials, study them and practice sketching a lot of quick gestures.

Anyone else have a really vivid visual imagination but no drawing ability? Been practicing for years and haven't gotten any better. I'm kinda afraid my brain damage somehow made it impossible to draw.

My visual imagination is so vivid and precise, I know literally exactly what I want to draw, down to where all the lines will go and everything. It just doesn't come out.
>>
>>78400592
Does your brain damage have to do with fine motor skills?
>>
>>78400606
Yes, but it feels like it goes deeper than that. It feels like nothing can go from my brain to my hands. I can't draw, I can't sculpt, I can't play any instruments, etc. It's obviously not lack of ability brain-side because, for example, I hallucinate music almost all the time but I have to write it all down one note at a time in a sequencer. Been practicing piano for years, not really any better at it.

I am typing, though. That kind of gives me hope. If I can learn to type, maybe I'm not so fucked? I should probably double down.

I like the colors that you have going, but because of them, it's coming off kind of flat right now. There's no change in value from foreground to background, making it look more cluttered than the subject matter would lead you to believe.

The background should gradually fade the farther back it is. You have a little bit of that in the center, but it's more of a fog than a fade. Hill and mountains in the far off background should lose detail the far they go, slowly becoming a monotone dark color, like green or blue.

Also, I love the shading that you did on the grass, it looks really nice.

Get away from tunnel vision:
>Focusing on a single picture until it's perfect
>Erasing the mouth or eyes on a picture and redoing them over and over again
>Constantly tweaking one picture that you've lost interest in awhile ago

If you mess up or don't like something, just draw it again. There's no harm in doing a second drawing, and you'll learn from it. It's better to have a dozen drawings that are all mediocre in your eyes than a single mediocre drawing. Because at least by drawing #13, you'll start seeing some slight improvements.

Also here's a Vanellope I drew.

Your anatomy is good, along with your perspective, but you've got some pillow shading going on. That is, you have lots of highlights around the edges of the figure, and the shadows on the inside.

Looking at where these shadows and highlights are placed, I can't figure out where the light source is. Once you figure that out, it may be easier to mentally break down the figures into simple 3D shapes, and think about how light would interact with those shapes.

Place your figures in a real environment wityh real light sources.
Like the Sun as the main source and reflecting lights off walls and artificial lights as secondary sources.

>>78419735
The highlights on the purple bitch is everywhere and doesn't show the form underneath well, try grey-scaling, "gris" under-painting first to define her shapes before the shiny details

Hard to say. I started it months ago, but abandoned it around this phase (more or less) because I didn't yet have the skills to complete it properly.

Then a week or so ago I picked it up, because I wanted to work on something and had no ideas, but there's been all kinds of interruptions since then. (You ever driven to LAX the day before Christmas Eve?)

Since I picked it up I've probably gotten two or three days of real work done on it.

Not so much. I'm kinda stumped.

I have ideas for good 'bits', but I'm trying to think of a good plot with HEART.

The Idea of each episode is for it to start clean and happy and ha-ha funny, but then half way though it changes and starts to decline into a twisted narrative taking the pals to dark places, with them possibly all die'n at the end of each video. Being tied up in basements, being thrown out of spaship airlocks, drowning with concrete boots etc. You got anyhtin'?

To be honest when you pitch it like that all I can think of is Happy Tree Friends or Retarded Animal Babies.

oh-- SO: Fag.

Fag is basically the 'Do as you're told' pal. He tells you about the dangers of smoking and generaly being unsafe and unhealthy. Most other pals just tell him to 'Shut up, Fag'.

He's also there to make people say 'Fag's not a fruit'.

I was listening to Nick Dragotta on a podcast and he was talking about how at the end of the day it's not about how much detail you have or the fucking crosshatching, it's the storytelling.

Maybe refined illustrators get lost in the technique and their stuff is super stiff or the storytelling and flow is actually supar beneath all the rendering.

Yes, use a real brush.
Practice.
Guess what, you'll have to to learn to draw again, the brush is very much a living sensitive as fuck instrument.
That's why half the time they just darken the pencils and skip inking these days.

>Also are brushpens any good?
Not really.
They are meant for portability, but the brushes are cheap and the dry out with any heavy use, consider them disposable and too expensive for the amount you can use.

Don't listen to this guy. Brushpens are fine if you get good ones. I've been using the same one for 8 months or so, and it's going strong. Just be prepared to spend 20 bucks or so on the pen, and more on packs of refills.

Looks alright, arms look a tad short, but it depends on who this guy is, he seems to be too buff for a non capeshit type chara but whatev.

He looks middle gaed, not old, here. draw two line under eyes and crow feet to age him 10-20 years.
Also you might be better able to show his age if he was hunched over some more, in his body language, but he maybe a badass gramps, so who knows.
>>
>>78469713
Holy cow, what an improvement. Thanks for the those tips, Anon. I didn't know if those crows feet would make him look *too* old, but they really pull it together.

Real talk, I've actually spent the past few days basically doing nothing but drawing. Got a tablet so I'm drawing digitally for the first time ever and man is it rough not having a screen.

It really sucks to look at something you've drawn and realize it looks worse than something you would have drawn like 5 years ago
>>
>>78471238
Tablets for drawing is terrible, imo.
Save up and get a Cintiq or just scan your shit in.
Wacoms are great for Photoshop/coloring and 3D though.

It will take time though, try drawing simple shit, and stuff you already know how to draw just to get used to it.

Are you saying the cat guy uses symbol drawing? I mean other than the mouth and the eyes he draws pretty solid, and most artists use symbols for the mouth and the eyes most of the time.

So he's pretty much ahead of the curve and probably already aware of symbol drawing, and yet still can't manage to draw a pelvis because it's fucking tricky you dumb fuck.

a quickie how i draw: first the action/spine line then three circles for head/torso/pelvis then i try to add limbs and then SHIT HITS THE FAN
>>
>>78472021
Feels a little bit too squared off and sterile, you should add a few elements that have different vanishing points.
>>
>>78472021
Nothing, everything.
You got the right idea, perspective, buildings scenery, etc, and generally are headed in the right direction.
Details are off, the quality of rendering, line-work, they way many of the support pillars are off perspective, inconsistency in the structure, the materials, etc.

You can spend an enormous time fixing everything on this one drawing or just get it over with, finish this and move on to the next one. and naturally get better at it over time.
>>
>>78472190
You are drawing FROM the photo, not using it as reference for your drawing.
It's pretty much like tracing at this point.
Your shit must (literally) stand on its own.

You have to have the articulated figure in your mind already there like a loose marionette (the symbol), ready to take the particular shape and detail based on you reference (the real).

Try some stick figure gestures, get used to drawing the human shape w/o reliance on particular photos first.
>>
>>78472224
>>78472284
Yeah, I've gotten way too caught up in the linework of what was meant to be more of a painting. I'm going to have to rework this one.

>>78472463
For the sake of accuracy though, what you are doing is not symbol drawing. Symbol drawing doesn't even try to have volumes as a foundation so the person who's been insisting on this is misled and probably a shitposter.

You are trying to reason in terms of volumes and that's good. Getting this thing down till it's second nature is hard, it will take time.

Flip the drawing often (bind horizontal flipping to a key in digital or use a window or a mirror if you're drawing traditionally) and remember that reference, construction lines and whatnot are simply tools.

>you know, when i flipped the sportswoman picture upside down it was actually easier to draw it. but something still felt off.
No wait, you should draw then flip, draw then flip. It's a way of telling your brain to forget that the picture is OK, and look at a new picture and tell you what it things. The longer you work on a piece the longer your brain automatically fixes the mistakes and tells you that it's all good

No, just bunny ears for no particular reason.

As for chest, I am not sure how to convey thickness of armour vs boob size. I didn't draw her out of her armour yet.

Oh, and she's supposed to be a policewoman, not a soldier. Not sure if the look compliments that.

You need to work on anatomy. The arms are too short and skinny compared to the body. Working on faces will also help you. It feels like you're close to making something good you just need a little bit more skill. As it is now it looks okay if I don't look too hard at it.

I like these they're cute and you have a distinctive style.

I made this as a short little experiment with color and some characters, also as bad guy introduction without using a weird, out of character NAME:JERKUS style blackbox. Basically this guy is the boss of some superhero themed wrestlers, with him being KamenRider/Superman/Captain America. Looking for any tips you can give me on this, none of these character designs are anywhere near finalized, aside from maybe Commor Stars(the superhero boss)'s outfit and general color scheme.

Dialogue is:
Narrator:You've seen his style. You've seen his skills, you've seen his HANDSOME smile... And now, for th first time, facing an adequate challenge in his very first tag-team match, I give you, the one and only...
Narrator:COMMOR STARS!

How in the fucking hell do you gesture draw? I've been trying to do it for five years and I've not gotten one yet.

What am I supposed to draw? Am I supposed to draw the spine curves and the way the body and limbs are held? Am I supposed to draw scribbles in the shape of the figure? I seriously have no idea what these fucking things are supposed to be.

All anyone can every say is "you have to FEEL it," which makes absolutely no sense. Can somebody explain this in a way that doesn't sound like you're trying to realign my chi?

Just draw the general shape of the figure, getting the important parts. The gesture and how the body is moving is what you want to look at.
>>
>>78507259

If you can't gesture draw after five years, imagine how long it's going to take you to learn to paint. Some people just aren't good at things. It's okay to give up, because you're just wasting yours and everyone else's time.

Guess you can chalk that up to the cruelty of random chance, since there is no way to know who"ll show up to these these threads when bearing what knowledge they have.
You might wanna hit up /ic/ as well as actual forums if you wanna give other communities a try. 4chan can and does get tedious even at best of times, it can't be healthy for anyone to stay here too long.

As for style, imo, you can pretty much see if a drawing has it or not, regardless whether you like the particular style or not. And the longer you practice at it the more "stylistic" it becomes, it becomes a moot point to criticize it unless you really hate it or wanna delve into obtuse design language and discuss the abstract qualities there of.

It's as if drawing "realistic" shit is a bunch of kids working hard to carefully construct a working model building, following complicated rules and you have an idiot in the corner flinging mud in the air, dribbling drool, being happy as shit making an adobe shithouse.
There's little to be said to the happy retard except, "that's nice, go on."

If you want a hugbox mentality go to DA or Tumblr and get all the hollow positive feed back you can stomach. I guarantee you that you will do nothing but flounder. If you can't take the good with the bad and the occasional harsh feedback you'll never grow. Thick skin is invaluable to an artist. That's why you have people who prefer to post art here on 4chan because there is no kid gloves due to having a handle and being afraid of kiss ups white knighting an artist.

I'm just dissatisfied with how it turned out and I'm not sure why. I feel like I failed the potential of the piece is all, like I've missed a couple of important things that I should've paid more attention to while working on it.

Is she sitting on something? Why aren't her feet resting on it? I think it's kind of overdone. You don't need that shine effect and those circle lendsflares DEFINITELY should never be used. It looks very tacky. Overall it's okay but the detail and color make it kind of hard to distinguish parts.

>>78523094

Lens-flares? You mean the motes of light flittering/hovering about?
>>
>>78523390
>Nah she's just curled up in the air, floating.
You need to put her above or below the black part that I'm guessing is the horizon. If you have her where she is now it looks like she's sitting on a wall or something. Or put the horizon line further down. I would recommend the latter.

No I mean those circle shaped around the gold string stuff. That should go away entirely. Personally I also dislike stuff that tries to look so glowy as well so personally I would reduce the amount of glow on everything in general because I think it just looks bad and cluttered and overly tryhard.

The pic looks good though.

>>78526013
You just need a lot more work. Study some anatomy. Look at pictures of people as reference and draw from those. So practice. Also try not to study from cartoons if that's a thing you're doing.
>>
>>78526013
It's not the answer you want to hear, but more practice.

Practice
Practice
Practice.

Try new things, challenge yourself, and take your time.

One thing you can do is to not make the final linework immediately. Do a LIGHT rough sketch, adding detail and form as you go, THEN do the final linework.

Branch out, too. If there's something that gives you a hard time, that's a good indicator that you should draw that thing more.

Use reference when necessary. There are tons of models sheets for her online that the animators used to provide rules for her design.

Just keep going, that's what's important.
>>

1. Shrink yer photo to under 1000px

"Cartoony" isn't some catch all term to cover the fact that your drawing isn't good. Stop trying to cover your ass and disregard the fact that what you are producing is shitty and you know that it's shitty but aren't willing to put in effort.
You saw anon mention anatomy, another anon mention steps, and your butthole puckered up with fear and lazyness and you used the "cartoon" or "muh stylized' excuse. Cut that shit out, take the advice, give it a go and see where it takes you. Otherwise why waste your time posting in threads?

That is the easiest thing to do! How can you be a artist and can't create character designs.

Make shit up. Just throw some crazy shit on there and reign it in.

Copy everyone you like,
Ripoff your favs.
Change just enough to pass.
Claim homage when caught.

I wasn't thinking of Stalker when I drew that, but Stalker is one of my all time favorite games, for atmosphere and setting, if nothing else.

Rip everyone you like off until you start coming up with stuff in that vein on your own. Every artist builds up on things they like. I intend to rip off Dark Souls, Stalker, CRCR, and Ghibli until I figure out what I want.
