learn to draw realistic then stylize.
anyway, don't start your own threads and use the question thread.

there's no such thing as "manga drawing" skills.

Mark Crilley on youtube, look him up he knows his stuff. Also check out the Structure of Man anatomy course by Riven Pheonix.

>>2649107
anatomy studies, values studies
you are pillow shading and the form doesn't look right

no proper light source

Do we even know who he is?

>>2648725
I can tell you right now he's entirely self-taught.

Also please idolize a real animator. You'll thank yourself later.

Everyone's self taught

There is a way to become good at stylized western comic book shadows. It's called thousands of hours of practice. There ya go.

>>2646996
What are you inking with? From what I recall, most old comic artsists used to ink with a sable brush.

It's the exact same concept as what fine artists do when blocking in shadows in their figure drawings with a directional light source. Just get good at understanding how light hits forms.

Draw scenes from life first

You won't be able to imagine or paint what you can't understand

>>2648962
thanks

>>2648906
Read through the first couple chapters here so you have an understanding of the theory behind lighting:
http://www.huevaluechroma.com/

Then do studies from life, photos, or masters and try to really analyze and understand WHY each object appears the way it does.

Also don't forget that you can always use reference. Especially for something like a palette, you can use an indirect ref. If you are painting a forest scene from imagination, you can google image some forests and pull them up on the side to see what types of greens typically appear in there, how the leaves might be more yellow when the sunlight passes through them, how the shadows may take on a grey or blue tinge etc.

nothing is real

>>2648825
really makes u think...

Is game art real "art"?

>looks like by that guy riven phoenix
>opens link and it's him

it's bad, skip it.

>>2648793
What are you talking about? Riven Pheonix is a great teacher and /ic/ recommends him highly.

>>2648791
>>2648794
Hi Riven.

Draw from direct observation, or in case of a self portrait, using a mirror.

I bought a Foam Geometric Solids Set by Nasco from Amazon. That's a really good prop to have to practice drawing still life with.

Get a halogen lamp with adjustable arm and brightness to set up the lighting for the still life.

Search "risd bicycle" on google. Look up "portfolio critique" by Clara Lieu, adjunct professor at RISD.

>How did you go about creating a portfolio?
The usual process, pick a spec, thumbnail, finalize. Do this until you have like 20 finished pieces or so.

>Any links to good portfolios one can look at ?
Any professional artist has a good portfolio. It's usually their own website.

>>2648401

For what its worth, this was my application portfolio to otis and lcad. Not super great or anything but it did earn me almost half-off tuition merit scholarships for both schools.

About as legit as your mastery of the English language.

Look up Pierre Brassau. What you're proposing wouldn't be any worse.

Or any new
Code art is old and busted by now.

Small amounts of fat so that all of the major muscles are present and can be hinted at with broken up lines, but smaller more unsettling or unnoticeable muscles are gone because of the fat. Bodies with 0% fat are repulsive. Also when drawing men that "V thing" that leads to the crotch is damn near critical

>>2646637
For men it's typically been the ideal that was laid out by the ancient Greeks such as the main figure in Laocoon or the Belvedere Torso.

For women the ideal tends to change a fair bit from culture to culture and throughout time.

Literal shit. Learn anatomy from someone who can actually draw.

Books: Vilppu, Hampton, Peck, Bammes, Bridgman, Vanderpoel.

Videos: Vilppu, Rey Bustos, New Masters Academy, Watts Online

>>2648833
That figure is flat as fuck, and the head was drawn in 3 different perspectives at once, it's shit.
