Alternative Art/Stylization General

Do you need a book to draw anime or you just reference everything from mangakas

how's my lineart looking? i'm not too confident with it yet.

>>2465055
pretty bad.
Its wobbly and inconsistent, and that's ignoring your fundamental errors with anatomy and forms.

>>2465057
is there anything i should be keeping in mind in regards to line weight, etc? i feel like i overuse thickness a lot

>>2465062
You should keep in mind that line art heavily relies on form and having the drawing done correctly.

>>2465062
i don't know how good this tutorial is according to /ic/'s standard but personally i find this helps a lot

Listen up you fuckwit tripfag, do not make new threads when the old thread is on page fucking two.

>>2465141
it's fine

>>2465014
just so you know the reason threads fall low is because their thumbnail is shit in the catalog.

I pin them but most people don't. I know this because I tested it (mainly with the beg thread) the better the image reads, the easier it is to find and not forget about them.
>>2465272
im not mad at animes. It could be the best drawing, if the thumbnail reads as #FFFFFF its bad.

i got one word of advice in another thread, telling me to move the man abit more to the right.

to whoever posted the michael hampton CGMW video yesterday in the old thread, thank you a lot. this video is a god damn god send.

i'm working now on redoing my old drawing and will post here if i got some sweet sweater insight.

>>2465055
Having only one line weight can really flatten the image. You should vary the thickness of the line with form in mind.
There are a lot of proportion issues, but your main concern seems to be Line work. Try looking up teal line guy's work. He should have a tutorial about making lineart and explains it pretty well

>flat
I originally wanted it to be super flat, but then halfway through I realized the line work was too fine to just use it as flats. I'll try to add more form shadows, and other lighting stuff.

I'm a little stuck in general, I can't seem to take the coloring much further than just flats and a single level of shading. Any tips would be appreciated.

Whaddaya think?

>>2466656
how do you master anime like this?

>>2466707
Fun idea, I'm liking it. But the darker values on her body look like a more saturated blue than the ones on the mass productions

On that same note, make the shadows in the hair and reds (and skin) more violet-y

>>2466707
>>2466712
I agree with this anon. I usually use a darker red when it comes to skin tone and adding shadows, instead of grey/black. Coloring with black is a great way of making it look unnatural. The face is still off to me though. You have really nice rendering, however.

>>2466707
Adjust the head a bit, it looks just too big for that skinny body, even for Eva standards.
All you need now is some light for those dark tones so it doesn't look so muted.

>>2466707
Liking the way it turned out, buuut the face looks ridiculously simplistic when you compare it to the rest of the body. Iunno, something about the position of the eyes makes the angle of the face feel cardboard-ish.

>>2466656
What tablet do you use anon? i got into comics recently and started inking, shit like crosshatching and creating texture with lines is hard with an intuos and i am thinking of getting a cintiq 13HD.

how do you make your lines so fucking clean. even when I try to clean up my lines on a new layer over a sketch, I still can't completely get rid of the sketch look. Is there a specific brush you use?

This is like as clean as I ever get it. It's almost there but I have to spend a lot of time erasing it to clean it up.

Well I feel a little bad no one has been giving you any critiques so I'll add a few cents in.
I guess the hatching/texture lines(not sure of the name) in a lot of the forms curve at their ends and don't follow the form all the way which leads to some weird reads on their forms.

>>2467148
Thank you anon, I'll make sure to not be so lazy with my hatching.

Got a question in regards to style choices. Mainly about the head. In pic related it shows ways in displaying the neck. What's the main difference between them all? Why not just pick one? The one that confuses me the most is the 3rd one from the left. It's half show a line on the neck and not really. What does that show? Why not close the line completely?

"You can make smooth gradient by clicking an area between two-color lines."

so i'm using clip studio paint and i'm googling around and i see this here on their website. thing is, website doesn't say HOW. any leads?

>>2467175
>triclops
kinda reminds me, did you finished your nomad princess dude?

>>2467333
Just do the gradient manually, this isn't necessary at all. It's not difficult to blend colors and you'll get a result that's more how you want than something that looks like an auto-gradient.

one stroke for some lines and pen tools for others duh.

I'm on Photoshop, so don't have a stabilizer.

>>2467456
dang you actually use the pen tool? I thought artists did that but whenever I'd ask they'd say no.

>>2467472
It's a great tool for clean lines. Don't forget to combine it with normal strokes and already draw a good sketch before. I mostly use it for objects, long lines and round ones.

Parts like the hairs were done by hands though.

The worst mistakes that most beginners do with it is adding pressure to the lines. Don't.

>>2466709
I haven't, though but here's some hints

focus on the face, it's the only important thing that makes something that looks like 'anime' or 'manga' from weeb stuff.

that said build up your mental warehouse full of screen grabs from your favorite anime, pages from manga, etc. I like to focus on extreme angles of a face (3/4, 3/4 from tilted below angle, etc.) and why that looks so good.

oh and don't forget to draw

here's a pic

Wacom Intuos4 large

I taped a thin polystyrene sheet over it so the nibs wouldn't wear out so quickly. Lines are a bit harder to control but I can make really long and quick strokes with the pen.

as for crosshatching? i guess it depends on the brush you are using but I use low opacity and a small brush size, using the gentlest pressure possible with the pen. it takes some practice, though

Your mechs look cool, but your people are bad. Do you have any tips on drawing mechs; besides perspective

>>2468711
>people are bad
I constantly practice faces and figures, but I like mechs so much more that I absorb nothing from people studies.

>drawing mechs
Build a lot of Gundams and models. You gain a lot of intuition for how joints are put together. Also, take note of the location of panel lines and decals on the model. These give surfaces more form when you draw them.

Do your figure and gesture homework, otherwise your mechs will look stiff.

If you like mechs and robots, it just happens. I don't like people so when I draw them I don't put as much care into the details.

Doesn't feel like you really bothered with the overall drawing, besides the fact you hide both arms. Take your time to draw the volumes and use references if you've got anatomy problems. Also, use thinner lines for the face features, and avoid just drawing a blank stare.

There is so much wrong with that anatomy I don't even know where to begin.

Really gotta rethink that entire arm going backwards. Also there is no way in fucking hell you would be able to see her pussy at that angle and I don't even know where to begin with her tits and stomach.

She falling? Is she jumping? Is she sitting down? Is she retarded? Look at her face.

stop painting with your dick and actually try for once.

>>2472150
She's sitting up hopefully with some more shading in the background the intended pose will be clearer. I'm trying to work on more perspective and everything can look a little awkward which with more practice I'm hoping to get a better grasp on it and have things look better. Any specific advice on how I can fix some of the errors would be great.

A lot of different artists has their ways in making the cheek fat / bump to show cute in female characters. For the most part, it's simply a shape on the face, and depending on the angle determines how much you see of the cheek.

Loomis goes over this with Heads to Hands when it comes to drawing baby and woman faces, displaying the construction of the cheek bump.

Hi, just draw this. some criticism or tips to improve?

>>2472454
try thinking in 3d anon. learn construction and perspective. right now it looks very flat and wonky

after that, learn values. this will help you place shadows correctly and get rid of said flat looks

>>2472467
>try thinking in 3D
you make that sound easy bro
Not that guy BTW

>>2472128
anatomy is indeed wrong in places, but the bigger overall problem is the gesture. you are going into too many different directions, and they cancel each other out so that in the end, you still end up with a fairly stiff gesture.

>>2472423
just make a bump somewhere around or after the cheekbone. the pudge is something you can see on children irl. it's literally just cheek pudge.

>Does it start at the 3rd Quater of the head going down like the mouth?
no, the curve slowly starts after the eye, if you get what i mean. but not directly after the eye, because that's where the cheekbone is, and we dont have pudge there.
but the curve is almost always completely below the eye.

stylistically speaking, as long as you put them anywhere below the eye and around (or slightly above) where your teeth are then it'll read as pudge and you'll be fine.

as for what comes after that, if you want a strong chin then align it with the center of the face and teeth, otherwise just round it out like in the image you posted. but always take care to have the center of the chin aligned with the center of the face (roughly). otherwise it'll often read as a receding/protruding chin

>>2472423
No generic way. It depends on the body, body size, exact style, body type as in rl, your intent and more.

>>2472473
Damn nice advice about faces. Thanks.

>>2472473
>Going off into to many directions

>>2472512
Not either of them, but the issue isn't the tentacles.
You can have hair splayed out without ruining the gesture. The issue is that the gesture of the body itself is pretty flat.

>>2472148

It's not a fucking compliment. If you can tell something is traced it's usually because it looks shit AND traced.

>>2472423

The Cheek bump is defined by the the size of the exaggerated eye sockets.

Study real skulls and cheekbones, then superimpose a skull over the drawing you want to study. The cheekbone can be as big or as subtle a bump as you want it to be.

Thanks for the help, I can see what you two are saying now. I think I need to work on improving my initial gesture.

Hey guys I got a question.

For stylizing part of the face say the mouth, do you come up with your own way of doing it or do you start from a reference of one artist you like, the way he does it?

When I was not really trained and I just drew manga without having learn to draw realistically, I had no problem for my "symbols" to look nice, but now I have a hard time getting rid of unnecessary details.

Should I steal some mouth from artists I like?

>>2474203
>When I was not really trained and I just drew manga without having learn to draw realistically, I had no problem for my "symbols" to look nice, but now I have a hard time getting rid of unnecessary details.

i can relate to that.

>Should I steal some mouth from artists I like?
dunno about steal (or blind copying), but if you don't like the way you draw certain things, you can study other artists you find appealing and try to figure out what exactly it is that makes them more appealing.

>>2473582
But its not traced. I used a reference but its not traced retard.

Here's my shitty 2 cent, try twisting your torso like in the picture and look at your shirt, the folds will always follow the gesture of the twist, yours looks unnatural because of how upright it's sitting

It still looks unnatural.

Yeah the other big problem is that the gesture of the twist itself is very robotic (especially the shoulder area)

>>2474270
Thanks for taking the time to make the changes, there's definite improvement over mine. I'll add on fabric studies while I work on my gestures.

Something that interests me is that only after I spent a lot of time neglecting gestures and improving the "technical" side of my drawing skills could I finally get a grasp on the importance of the gesture. Once I can nail it down, I have the feeling that I will be able to take my art to another level.

what do you guys do when you feel like you're lost and lack direction with what you want to study?
