Does anyone actually prefer Comic Sans all-caps as a dialogue typeface in comics? I had a discussion with a friend about why I'm using Futura(for legibility), but he believes that Comic Sans makes up a lot of the comic aesthetic.

>>2799584
those look pretty neat anon. keep it up.

>>2799618
I think fonts with less serifs and sharp edges make the best comic font especially if they're digital

>>2799618

Comic sans can either be used ironically or for the office party flyer with complimentary clip art. All other uses make you look like a massive tool

>>2799638
>All other uses make you look like a massive tool
i never understood the deal with that font

>>2799618
fucking racist shovel

>>2799654
As a font it is quite mediocre in terms of aesthetics and legibility, designed for children.
however it's its widespread use in the most incongruous places that made it do disgusting: official government, police forms, death announcements, etc
because in normieland, they see that installed on their computer and it's the first non-formal font they see, and they think it'll make their text look nicer, so they use it.
therefore, it comes across as the ultimate proof of total ignorance of form and function. it is so utterly repulsive to use it in such ways, that soon you can't see a character typeset in this demonic font without shuddering.
OTOH, some normies are so completely unable to understand any of that that even having heard why they shouldn't write official documents in comic sans, that they make a point to continue doing it.

Same model different pose

Work on not
1. symbol drawing (cartoony is fine. your face you drew shows a lack of knowledge of how a face is put together)
2. scratchy lines, try and get one continous line rather than scratching it, it helps with gesture and cleanliness a lot
3. learn how joints/muscles attach/general anatomy some more
4. misc: think about how a character would apply their weight, imagine some guy punching, what direction is he leaning/where does he anchor himself? think about how the girl sitting is applying her weight and draw it out. also figure out how the ear attaches to the head and draw out the hand, don't be afraid of it

>>2800212

Try not to chicken scratch, also work on human anatomy part by part. Master eyes, noses, skulls, etc, one by one. Do a thousand of each. Keep going dude, u'll get there.

no, painting is hard for you, not just stylization. paint something that isn't stylized, it's not gonna look good either. focus on real life first.

>>2801336
gotta take breaks from that stuff though its fun to try to diverge from realism even if you haven't mastered it yet. my realism work is about 25% to where it needs to be (I'd say I've got about 5 more years of it before I'm where I need to be), and Im currently working on another oil still life, but more and more I am feeling the urge to branch out from it into more expressive work.

>>2801866
i think you have a hard time drawing something unless it's at a very specific angle because you don't really have a lot of shapes in mind. something that i see here a lot is every face facing the same direction and i'm convinced that probably one of the few faces you're comfortable drawing. i think you still need to do more life drawings before you can intuitively draw interesting shapes.

In that kind of pose, her clavicle should be more visible. Actually, everything below the head needs some more definition, I almost get the feeling that her head is on backwards. Nice colors, tho.

Honestly Brian, this is your strong point. It doesn't appeal to this segment of viewers, but you know its quite neat. Just forget the weight of old masters and impressionism, painting isn't all about craft. Grow as a person and find something you really want to say, be artist and stop being artisan.

This is bit older stuff, but it's something really different from me.

You didn't section off enough space for her hips. Her whole torso looks compressed and the hip area is probably the biggest offender in that. The ear on the left should probably be a little closer to her head and not quite so angled as well.

I'm pretty clueless when it comes time to finish something.

I wouldn't finish a silly image like this, but just as an example I imagine trying to tie down and/or refine the lines on it and I just don't even know how to go about it correctly. By the time I'm done "cleaning up" what painfully few pieces I have the likeness with the sketch is essentially lost.

Anyone have any advice on workflow or any recommended resources for this sort of thing? Ive been hiding in my comfort zone of insincere sketching long enough and I could use a little help taking the next step.

>>2803094
the thicker the fabric the more reluctant it will be to change its form, and so it will have fewer folds and will not be flat against the object, it will wrap around the object as one big chunk and the folds will tend to be rigid rather than straight. Also, the thicker the fabric the the heavier it will be. Because of its weight, it will be pulled in a straight direction towards the ground and will not taper as much as the thin fabric.

And I'm under the impression that you're just being contrarian and have never bothered to hear an actual typographers explanation of why it's shit. But hey you sure convinced everyone with that pic you posted, fag

to concur with >>2803202
"helvetica is fantastic" is just a bunch of retarded mac fags.
the comic sans ms hate can come from everybody from typography lovers to people who care about proper aesthetic or even plain etiquette.
one subset is geeks who learned about typography from Latex/knuth and then went from there.

I belong in /beg/ so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I start with mid tone background, then depending on the local value I will go darker than lighter, filling in the darks and shadows first adds more solidity, or at least to me. Also, do you have the ref you used? I kinda just wanna see that qt

technically it doesn't. The Germans and Japanese were part of the axis powers with the Italians, so technically Italians and Germans can't be weebs. But the word weeb usually applies to Americans and the Americans were enemies of the Axis during WW2.

The nazi's and Italians can't be weebs, Americans aren't nazi's, so you cannot be a weeb and a nazi. they cancel each other out.

neo-nazis that aren't of German descent are just faking it, so you can't be a neo-nazi and a weeb either.

The first thing i notice are the classic hand-hiding techniques, so I see you're not at all comfortable with drawing hands. You don't have a fundamental grasp of 3d forms and that's something that you're going to have to sit down and practice if you're going to improve. Granted, I still have a lot of trouble with this myself but I'll try to redline it for you when I am at a proper computer.

When people say colours are muddy they usually mean the saturation is lower overall which results in a dull palette, and/or the hues have little variation with no clear harmony which gives a boring look.

I haven't seen muddy being used for values, but I think it may be related to gradation and tonal range. It could mean your gradients are not smooth and/or you don't use a large enough range (lack of variation).

Work on anatomy, form and figure before you fuck around with character studies of any kind. Draw hundreds or even thousands of faces, hands, skulls, torsos and arms before you start doing complete people. Work on the combinations of neck shoulder and torso, shoulder torso and abdomen, wrist forearm and hand, elbow shoulder and upper arm, wrist forearm upper arm, etc. don't forget the lower body either

>>2805312
I almost thought it was a photograph of a statue when looking at the thumbnail. The light and values are great but it's rather dark, gray and neutral in an unappealing way. Have you tried experimenting with cold/warm colors to extrapolate on light and shadow? It can go a long way in improving a piece and also your understanding of light.

>>2805487

Decent, even good but the anatomy is a little off. The left thigh-hip-knee looks odd, as does the left arm (it looks bulky) while the right arms wrist and hand looks shrunken. The face is great an the torso/abdomen are surprisingly good, although the right breast looks somewhat sunken.

You're doing fantastic, just keep working!

i don't fuck or masturbate anymore. there's no pussy to get. and my experience with women up until i quit was just be with anyone i want. i never had a hard time with girls. The hard part is getting women to date you when they can't have sex with you, especially if they're in their 20s. as they get older they care more about a guy who's committed and doesnt care that their tits are saggy. I'm going to be very desirable (and probably wealthy) at 40-50 years old assuming i don't get lung cancer from chain smoking.

>>2805706
no comment

>>2805713
ok first of all, fuck off. girls don't like guys that want to fuck them, it seems desperate. if you honestly want to be with any girl you want find a way to stop having sex and jerking off. If you can hold the fact you'll never fuck them over their head they'll want to be with you. It's the most attractive quality in a guy, accuracy and restraint. It's as alpha as you can be. I don't need to work out, i don't need to get better at art. All I need to do is never masturbate to her or have sex with her. I've been talking to her nonstop for a year cause fuck it i've got nothing to lose. There's no point at which I'll just move on cause why would I? It's what I want for my life and I'm harmless. There's nothing to lose or gain. My life is already ruined, I'm just trying to be with someone who I think can be a good friend to me. For how weird I am, Catt's right up there with me in weirdness. And she genuinely enjoys having me to talk to every once in a while because everyone else that follows her is basically you. There's nothing attractive about sex, anon. Cut back and you'll see how confident you become.

>>2805715
WHO GIVES A FUCK!? i just like drawing and talking to her. I don't worry myself with what she likes or when she responds i just like sharing my thoughts with her

>>2805725
cause she still talks to me. pretty weird if you ask me.

>>2805745
you have no imagination. thats your problem. girls just want guys to treat them well. i could cuck a 6'4 lumberjack in a second. I'm the most attractive man on the planet. I don't worry about other men. If it's sex she wants I can go down on her for 3 hours and never want anything in return. Just go to bed afterwards. Cause I don't need the shit. Thats a better night than a guy cumming early and crying after sex cause he feels like he can do better. Fucking is for pussies.

>>2805772
you say as you finish jerking off and cum all over your face by accident

>>2805775
>How are you so sure shes as disdainful of it as you are?
cause she's a girl. and she doesn't enjoy being raped. if she has the opportunity to be the dominant person in a relationship why wouldn't she be? You think women really enjoy being submissive? That goes against the entire nature of the universe. If you can have power you take it. The real problem is women don't believe men when they say they don't have sex, you have to prove it every day. Especially with younger women. Older women expect men to not have sex with them, but young girls still think they're hot. When Catt turns 35 she'll probably value the idea of a guy not wanting sex as much way more. Cause that's what happens to women as they get older. You guys think I'm only worried about short term happiness. I am going to spend my 20s and 30s getting better at art at the expense of everything else and then be happy later in life. It's the smart thing to do.

>>2805778
