How do I achieve a similar latex look when rendering?

>>3029991
Lots of spec highlights, reflections, while retaining most of the base colour.

You're looking at the answer to your own question. It's right there. Do a study if you're so eager to know. Dork.

>>3029991
When it comes to texture, the only way to learn is to practice it. Look up pictures of latex suits and copy them. As for tips, if you are going for shiny, then make sure your colors are saturated, and that your highlights are bright white. Also experiment with brushes, because the highlights on latex often has this distorted fish eye look to them.

>>3029991
get her fucking gumroad/patreon pack on that particular piece and find out. it should contain the full video process

>>3029997

why do people always recommend buying things on the internet, is it just the corporations have finally made a generation of perfect consumers, or is it americans or something idk.

you don't need to buy something to work out how to draw latex bodysuits, pls

>>3029991
Also know that this picture probably had a 3-D base.

>>3030040
>you don't need to buy something to work out how to draw latex bodysuits, pls
No you don't. but it's the easiest and quickest way to the results OP wants. It's the difference between studying for a test and being handed all the answers.

>>3030040
The same reason why it's usually more efficient to take a painting 101 class, or get a mentor, rather than self learn. Learning by yourself means that you will have to stumble through to find answers and make mistakes that a teacher could have answered/corrected in a few minutes.
In this case, buying her video will answer the op's question, and probably questions they didn't even know they had. Because trust, Sakimichan is master at using the tools in her programs efficiently, so that she can render so many pieces at that quality.

>>3030072
>Sakimichan is master at using the tools in her programs efficiently, so that she can render so many pieces at that quality
Sakimichan is one of laziest artists currently making buck. Her entire technique relies on finding the quickest possible shortcuts to everything she paints, even at the cost of quality. That's why she never does backgrounds, too much effort.

Funny how some random shitter who probably does nothing but anatomy studies and unfinished sketches calls an artist who puts out like 3-5 finished illustrations per week "lazy".

>>3029991
bright and tight specular reflections with visable fresnel and saturated diffuse colours

THATS SAKIMICHANS ART?

holy phuck
everyone on /ic/ is clearly hella jealous bag of nigger dicks

that is literally the most appealing; completed image better than what the best on this board shit out daily

Is it lazy if she spent 100s of hours figuring out how to reach max efficiency to pump out a large quantity of pieces that pleases the fanbase that's paying her? They're obviously not frothing at the mouth for lovingly detailed backgrounds in her character portraits

>>3029991
but is the face pasted from another art? the contrast looks funny in the new works and all have the same face?

>>3030158
This. Someone like you could not hope to create something even half as slick, clean looking and appealing even if he spent 100 hours on it.

H-how did you know?

>>3030189
that was my reaction too.

>>3029991
what do i need to buy to get the kind of resolution that gives me lines this thin and crisp?

"How to shade" is probably how you should have formed your question, because it does sound like you don't know.

Specific materials are mostly just about applying a specific gradient, and it's right there in the picture if you wish to steal it.

>>3030194
Ten years of time to study and practice drawing.

>>3029991
Everything but the face and body looks great, there's something off about the contrast which makes it look like two different scenes, there's no bounced light on the skin either.
Remembering where the (lazy) art of hers was 4 years ago, compared to this level, what are you waiting for? Get to work.

>>3030197
>Specific materials are mostly just about applying a specific gradient
Mind explaining this with other materials? This actually sounds right for being so simple.

>>3030198
It's resolution when it comes to crispness of lines. So a bigger monitor would be the first step.

>>3030201
A picture probably explains it the best

Of course, keep in mind there's more to rendering and shading than just slapping a gradient on something, I didn't include reflections for example as that would probably just confuse. But this is the basics, it will get you about 90% there, but it does rely on your ability to determine how far away a surface is angled from a light source, and that's really the hard part. Once you can do that consistently though, doing different materials shouldn't be difficult.

>>3030213
This is what I mean about the crisp lines why is your dot so blurry compared to the original image dot, what do i need to make it crisp all the time?

>>3030222
Use hard round instead of the soft round I did.

>>3030222
Because he clearly used a soft brush and she used a hard no opacity brush + sharpening filter? How new are you to digital painting that something this basic eludes you?

>>3030225
i just started this week

>>3030230
Have you been drawing traditionally before?

If not, it might be a bit early to be worrying about colour and materials.

>>3030233
Why would he need to do that? This is 2017. You can learn the same shit you learn with charcoal on a computer screen. Tools don't negate fundamentals.

that sort of specular reflections are pretty easy to achieve tbqh
there's a lot harder stuff to do, even in the same painting

>>3030243
if he just started digitally and hasn't done anything non-digitally then that mean he just started drawing and this stuff is definitely too advanced for him

and there are plenty of benefits to knowing trad in additional to digital, but that wasn't my point

>>3030200
The stuff she did 4 years ago was the same level. She's improved more in quick output than in actual quality. Also the skin being treated differently on this one is definitely a stylistic choice and intentional. I think it works pretty well actually.

>>The stuff she did 4 years ago was the same level.

So you're saying she hasn't improved in 4 years? When was the last time you even looked at her art?

What I heard is she has other artists working with her to help with volume , so the body looking pasted on could be because of that. It really does look odd to me too.
People will start seeing it as a style choice eventually, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Sharpen up your hard edges and learn to blend your soft ones, bro. Those things are very important for defining shape as well.

Beginner tier mistakes can easily be avoided by having a strong grap on the fundamentals/base, thats why you don't expect Stephen Curry to miss a easy pass same with Messi, because they are the last level of skill where they all should've already mastered all the basics

>>3030849
Reiq literally said "this issue can affect any artist, regardless of skill" and that he himself constantly has to correct himself from making these mistakes. So you ignore literally everything "based" Reiq is saying here yet you somehow praise him for picking Sakimichan as an example to showcase this common mistake people make?

Here's Ruanjia making this exact mistake Reiq is talking about in that video. I guess he's a hack too now.

>Beginner tier mistakes can easily be avoided by having a strong grap on the fundamentals/base

Literally 100% wrong. You're ignoring outside factors. What if you are incredibly tired/exhausted? What if you're sick? What if you have a headache? What if you're on medication that can tamper with your cognitive ability? What if something happened in your personal life and is distracting you?
Things like this can greatly influence your ability and depending on the severity can make you trip up because you're not performing at your best. It's very easy to make beginner tier mistakes in such common circumstances.
It's incredibly unfair to cast someone as shit because they haven't performed 100% perfectly on every piece. People aren't machines, even masters can make mistakes and underperform, it's part of being human.

>>3030835
But reiq is a dumb fuck in that vid because the sakimi pictures he works on are not supposed to be some hyper realistic pieces but rather a blend between over rendering and the style of each character franchise sakimichan tries to make bank on because she is a stupid cunt who cannot into originality, like every ching-chong out there for that matter

>>3030949
So these works are bonus/sketches/personal

When you are a professional writer, only the works you tried you hardest should be on display, you shouldn't shit out a homolust fanfic of your 2 favorite characters just because you are feeling tired and lonely

Here's a tip:

Start zooming in to images. Makes you realize how a technique works much faster. You can clearly see when you zoom in that they used a brush where the paint kind of tapers off to achieve that latex look.

>>3030975
I can't even understand what you're trying to say

Sakimichan is doing the same thing she's always done on the net, except people fund her to keep it up, which includes sketches and personal works. She's not contractually obliged to commit always flawless works. Besides which, she does fix later mistakes, like when she accidentally drew that penis head upside down. Making mistakes doesn't mean you are automatically shit. There are lots of reasons these mistakes can happen no matter how good you are.

Why is it every time there's a Saki thread people use it as a excuse to start attacking other artists? Not one of you have the balls to attack Saki but you talk shit about everybody else with a smaller following. Even as anons still pussies.

>>3029991
That has to be a 3D render at the very least partially

>>3030949
But how can you explain Sakimichan being so inconsistent with her work FOR YEARS now? Are you saying that her life is complete darkness and there's no end in sight for her? Is she still holding on to that aborted fetus in a jar somewhere in the back of her house to remind her of how sad her existence is now, and that could be attributed to the flaws in her work? Oh my gosh, how cruel are we to call her out on such things, we have to support her and her work!

Give me a break.

Sakimichan has absolutely no grasp on core drawing skills. She masks those mistakes with over-saturated, overly rendered work just the same way Artgerm does, and Carlos Quintero, and every other self-proclaimed "professional".

>>3030835

One of the comments below the video was good. A guy noticed that original designs are like that and you can get away with such anatomy mistakes/exaggerations in your design, especially when like Sakimichan you are drawing fanart and want character to retain its recognizable features.

Problem with things like that is that people rarely consider what is appealing and Sakimichan considers everything appealing first - that's why she is also successful.

>>3031052
It's because she's mostly self taught, self taught artists experiment a lot because they don't have a specific way of working and understanding rules of fundamentals. she has the eye she just needs to sign up for a pro workshop somehwere and work on it.

She's young too, so having success at an early age people forget in a normal job her skills are actually pretty damn junior, she has fundamentals but she's definitely not what I would call pro level outside of anime fan boy expectations, same with the guy who paints nothing but faces by the way so i'm not picking on sakimichan. Plenty of artists who are e famous who are just as junior as she is.

But you said she was shit because she has made beginner mistakes, and according to you anyone who's good would never do that ever in any circumstance. Which is simply untrue, human factors make this scenario very possible no matter your skill level.

Fuck off with that brainlet logic you dense retard

Am I blind or does everything about the image seem well-rendered, but cut and pasted? Like the face/skin is too blanched and has no environmental red, and the face is doll-like while the body is cartoonish. Feels like parts of two different images. Maybe like an anon said, that the body was ghost-drawn. But even then, just throw an environmental/harmony layer on top and mesh the colors together. It would take like 3 minutes.

There would be a lot more red in the hair and skin, right?

Well, that and the subject matter is tasteless, but that's just me. The face/hair is pretty for what it is, but man the end result is unappealing.

It so very clearly is, because I have the same background influence in manga type art, and I have enlarged skulls ingrained in my design sensibilities as a personal preference too.

It's not an "error", because RJ isn't doing figure studies from life. He's designing. Head proportions are stylized, and style is subjective, it's part of design.

An illustrator named Serge Birault did a tutorial on it, see attached. He used the effect a lot in his series of Pin Up illustrations he did. You might want to google him, he's a great artist.

ew that looks like shit haha

>The head in that Ruanjia sketch looks unappealing as fuck and looks just plain wrong.
Subjective, lol.

>I like to give Ruanjia the benefit of a doubt that he is far better at making conscious design choices that this.
You don't like RJ's designs, find someone else to look up to then. It's very cute of you to give him the benefit of the doubt though. I'm sure that helps him get through life.

>You are a terrible artist and have a terrible sense for design and appeal.
Ad hominem is not an argument.

>Not a single well drawn anime / manga head with large craniums looks remotely as off as that.
That's just your opinion, like I keep saying.

>>3032141
thanks! i can't see anything added in that last step (retro lighting) -- anyone know what it is?

>>3031778
she still does yaoi porn though :/

you can't see the white blob behind the tentacle? you have some shitty ass monitor settings do you?

oh dang, now I see. and yeah, old ass monitor with a shit screen

He's a published artist. You are...?

that means so much in this day and age

>>3029991

reminder she draws in opencanvas and then adds effects and shit in photoshop or something afterward

thats how

Well anyway, every time one of these threads pop up there's probably going to be shit talk no matter how much she improves because we all see she has potential. I know she can do 50 times better, somebody ojust needs to nudge her in the right direction.

>>3032753
You have to realize that most people don't share /ic/'s childish sense of perfectionism. Whether or not she could do better, it would mean spending more time on every piece, meaning less posts per month and I guarantee you the vast majority of her supporters on patreon much rather have her release on her current schedule than post 1 overworked illustration per month to please the autism of /ic/.

1. The ball is too high-key in value, lacks darker darks,which suggests translucency.
2. The reflections have very sharp edges, like on glass. Look at a balloon, the reflection is more diffused because the surface is not as smooth as glass.
3. The overall impression is reinforced by the shape of the object. It's hard to find a sphere covered in latex unless it's a balloon. Latex that covers an object will not adhere to it ideally in all places, there will be folds present. The lack of such folds throws the viewer off the latex impression.

>>3032831

What the hell are you talking about? Spending more time on artwork isn't always what's going to make it better, she's missing basic techniques that would help improve her art ten fold.

Someone pointed out for example earlier bounced light on the face, simple rules, simple shit.

If you can’t see there’s consistently room for improvement in her artworks you’re the one who’s childish.

Fucking know it all millenial brats.

>>3032841
>>3033203
Oh, and I forgot to add, the reflections on your ball don't match the lighting situation. The cast shadow suggests the ball is lit from the left, but the reflection of the light source is nowhere to be seen on the ball itself. Why? the reflection of the rectangular light shape seen on the left side of the sphere overlaps the reflection of the white surface the sphere is on which makes no sense either.

Suppose you're right. Maybe trash talking isn't the way to go about this. Maybe we should post her flaws and see for ourselves how she has no basic concept of human anatomy.

Because by all accounts, a polished piece of crap is still, just a piece of crap no matter how you color it.

does she not make enough money to not have to draw porn? kinda pathetic

>>3035732
I guess not. She has to whore herself out too just to pay the bills. I feel bad for the people who commissioned these pictures, really.

Don't get me wrong, she's an average artist at best. But nowhere the goddess of art people portray her out to be.

>>3035737
Artgerm suffers the same hack ability when it comes to drawing faces. At least Sakimichan tries to draw something different, but Stanley comes off just as dumb with his work.

It's nice to see that even established "pros" are nothing more than one trick ponies who can stand to really learn their work instead of being touted as gods of art.

Yes, I know those rising to defend their beloved idols whom they worship will crawl out from underneath the rocks and say, "But they're all different! You're just jealous that they made it and you haven't."

>>3035734
I don't believe you
She just became a fucking jew that wants to make as much money as possible

>>3035742
Yes indeed. She is a jew. A jew who's not immune to drawing porn just to whore herself out.

>>3035732
>>3035734
both of you are morons, especially the second fag. Sakimichan has always drawn porn way before patreon, see here >>3031778
She opened a tier for it because she LIKES to do it, not to "pay bills". And those aren't commissions.

>>3035785
Still shit drawings, white knight. What's your point?

>>3035725
Especially this piece of trash. Is his dick really down by his thighs like Saki-sauce is portraying here?

>>3035785
So you support shit art, is that what you're saying? Sounds like it is.

>>3035785
You're the reason why shit art continues to exist in this world. You'd rather jump at the chance to white knight Saki-sauce than see her shit art for what it is: shit art.

>>3035789
are you literally retarded? how did you not get the point?
some people here thought she draws porn just for the necessity of money. but she actually draws porn because she enjoys it. that's all i said

>>3035800
So, going by your logic, she likes to draw shit porn? That's even worse. Literally.

See, I used the word properly in my reply. :)

>>3035800
>but she actually draws porn because she enjoys it
so now she's just a filthy degenerate

>>3035800
And no, Saki-sauce isn't going to grant you your animu wishes by white knighting this cause. There's no amount of Sailor Moon power to save that chick from the train wrecks she vomits out every week...just to pay the bills.

>>3035804
people jizz inside others, and finger each other's holes, but people who draw porn are degenerate

ok

>>3035808
yes because I don't have to see them shitting in each other's mouths, but I have to endure Saki's shit art on here

>>3031778
>>3035800

>>3035800
And let's make a broader point, shall we?

Let's examine this picture a bit more, and according to the anon who posted it, Saki-sauce drew this YEARS ago.

What's wrong. Hmm. Can't quite put my finger on it...

Why do these threads always miraculously get resurrected when new rewards are out or patreon week is coming to a close?

Getting kind of tired of seeing /ic/ being used as a bulletin board for patreon ads of these same artists over and over again

>>3035810
Oh now I see it. Stumpy McGee's all chained up with that thick ol' stump for a right leg there. Ha!

>>3035811
Because Wang needs to pay her bills, apparently. Keep on drawing that shite, Yue! We're counting on you!

>>3035813
She needs to start living below her needs then. I don't know who keeps making these threads but they get posted like clockwork.

>>3035818
She makes literally around a million per year off patreon. She very clearly isn't the one who is making these threads to help pay the bills.

>>3030068
post your work fag

>>3035797
He's just correcting you for being wrong. I don't see why you have to be so defensive about it. Can't you shit on an artist without having to rely on flat out lies? Sakimichan makes half a million $ a year and she's been drawing porn ever since she started posting her art online. Those are just facts, so when someone tells you you're wrong that she's drawing porn to pay the bills, it's not white knighting, it's just the fucking truth.

>>3035809

can someone explain the circled dark streaks in pic related. it looks like her suit is reflecting the environment except for that area. and that entire side of her suit is facing the light, so it couldn't be a core shadow, right?

>>3035845
I don't think anyone said she was making these threads, but that's a good call maybe she's paying someone to make them

>>3035789
>>3035794
>>3035797
Wow, look at all these jealous nimrods. Since she goes the route to make oodles of money, she's "whoring" herself out. I guess any business that does that is "whoring" itself too. She runs a business, and the bottom line is to make money. You guys are dumbasses, and it's no wonder why you guys are all probably poorfags. I hate her art, but she knows how to make bank and that gets more respect than some jealous losers bitching about her on a taiwanese frog posting board.
>her art still sucks!
Then, if you're so much better, why aren't you making more than some doctors consistently every year? Oh right, because you guys suck dick and can't market yourselves.

>>3035960
looks like its reflecting where the wall and ceiling connects

>>3035974
hmm, yeah, maybe. would that corner really be so much darker than everything else in a bright environment?

Why would she though she's already making bank from her current suckers.

indeed I don't think the ~20 posters or so that come here are worth paying for any advertisement directed at us

Sakimichan is actually extremely consistent, what the hell are you talking about retard. It's her main strength. She's productive and consistent.

here is more.
If you want to study actual latex rendering learn it from the masters.
Adam Hughes is also pretty good.

Sakamichi's latex rendering is very cheap.

Oh it's one of those Sakamichi threads were anon pist artist that are better than Sakamichi.

How old is sakimichan again? I know she's in her 20s but I want to know just how old she is specifically. She removed it on her dA

>>3041013
There's a lot of her patreon tutorials on cgpeers

Buy whatever you want, just don't expect a magic bullet.

And don't expect to go from the above drawing to the below in that ad, it's misleading as fuck.

>>3030099
i feel personally alluded and aggravated by that mockery of a description of my chosen work style

is this an /ic/ meme?

>>3041013
/ic/ is just a circle-jerk of retards bashing those who make money with art and illustration. The most they will teach you is to google "Loomis"

Its the aesthetic of the game it is based on, Persona 5. The predominant color of Persona 5 are white, black and RED. There's definitely an odd clash, and the official art usually mutes the characters' color while enhancing the RED. Personally I think there should be more black.
