This reminds me, I really should get back to working on the rick/morty parody. At this rate i doubt i'll have 2 scenes done till actual season 3 is out.
Some not even trying to keep proportions, others semi-proportionate still with psuedo-cartooniness. A little bit from an idea I finished, a little from an idea I'm working on now, and a little just trying certain styles I never really understood and still don't.
In an unrelated thread a day or so back, we were talking about this comic Andrew Hussie made in which increasing skill leads to a certain uncanniness for a time. I'm almost certain I'm at that point. Nothing amazing, nothing horrible, just overwhelming mediocrity.
I guess I'll post my graduation film that I recently uploaded.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_L2IHqSGMg
It's about two supervillains who fight over a superhero.
>>82574735
This is almost professional studio quality. For one animator (or even more than one) it's really well-made.
>>82574937
Thanks! I know there are quite a few color and clean-up errors, but I'm chalking it up to just learning experience for the future. Now that I have no deadline for myself, I would love to make a minute-long short for a concept I have and try to get it to look as clean as I can, since clean-up seems to be one of the hardest things for me in animation (Time-consuming wise).

batman can you give me good long detailed tutorials on how to color things digitaly on different art programs
i 've been using the sam cell shading with 2 or 3 layers of shading for a long time and i feel like i need to stop using the program that came with my tablet, this drawing is from a long time ago and the way i color stuff hasn't really changed a lot
to make things more clear this is the kind of coloring that i would like to reach
i think i can do something similar to this with color pencils irl but i have no idea of how to do it digitally with all the tools and gradiants and stuff i need to use
and most of the "tutorials" i found are speedpaintings where i can't even see what tool or settings the person picked because it's going too fast

>>82583831
thanks i'll check it out
here is a more recent drawing i guess this is as far as my coloring skills go right now
Started sketching out some kind of Pirate Mermaid, but I have no idea what to do with her.
I also sketched her lying in a pool and another with a treasure chest at the bottom of the ocean, but I'm not sure where to take it.
Any suggestions?
>>82584540
Maybe like an Ariel type character that's found some wrecked ship and is pretending to be a pirate. And she's fending off those old time divers with the big suits and porthole helmets and the hoses that go up to the surface.
Maybe trying to figure out why a wet musket doesn't work.
Or she works with pirates by luring ships into rocky areas like a siren.
I, uh...... did something. Not sure if it's suitable to post here without me getting b&'d, so I won't risk it.

It's kinda the first time I've ever drawn body type like this. Been doodling chubby girls since yesterday. I don't even watch AT anymore.
>>82585193
Doesn't seem any worse than that Rose I posted in the last thread, and I didn't get banned. But there's every posibility that no one paid attention to considering how quickly that thread died.
>>82585362
True, but I was banned once for posting a bunny girl I drew, probably because of global rule no 3, but it was borderline questionable at best. So still not risking

Any good tips for getting into just dynamically learning form, or just some tips on these?
I just really want to do dynamic drawings that have a lot of personality more than anything but I find that when I actually start doing stuff my anatomy is a bit weird and stiff.
>>82585143
Not so much the backstory (I figure she just looted a sunken ship or something).
I mean, I think I have an idea for a design, but I just start drawing without any firm idea of what the pose should actually be, so I end up not knowing what to do with her arms (which is why they are missing). I'd also like to give her one of those long, fancy coats (open fronted because shell-bra), but again, I can't draw it in because I haven't got the pose figured out.
I want to do more original art (instead of niceh interest fan art) and I was thinking of making this suitable for a print or postcard.
>>82587771
Here's the third unfinished sketch. I'm just throwing ideas around and hoping to get inspired for a final design.
Do any of these sketches have potential?
Or does anyone have another suggestion?
>>82579890
That's a pretty cool artstyle you got there!

does anyone else have trouble deciding the clothes or the wardrobe for their characters? I have no fashion sense and I don't know much about clothes in general.
>>82600706
Kinda.
I try and categorize the character. Time period, wealth, any specific scene. then I just look up those things and pick out things I like or think look good together.

Finally worked up enough motivation to sit down and actually finish something. Feels good. Still wish I could get away from my overuse of thick black lines though. I could always kill the resolution of the picture and then it would be way less noticeable but that feels a bit silly.
>>82601104

>>82604279
It's okay to use reference, even if it's just to get an idea where all the limbs go.
I understand there are specialist websites filled with images of the pose you're drawing; feel free to browse them safe in the knowledge that you are expanding your artistic horizons.
>>82604267
Does she have a name? For some reason I think of her as a "Scelly" or something else with an S.
>>82604444
Not really, I just want to do a pin-up type illustration. She started off as a random sketchbook doodle and I thought I could work it into something.
Little scratches and texture or no?
>>82606227

Also depending on if you're coloring it, you could get good fabric textures with certain brushes. If you plan to work with really flat colors though then scratches and textures are probably fine.

I had the idea to create a character for Overwatch.
She's a robot originally built for fighting fires, so she's equipped with a hose-cannon and has the ability to generate rainclouds that can heal allies and poison enemies.
I suck at drawing mechanical things though, so any design advice would be much appreciated.
I have no idea what kind of shapes/motifs to put in her design, except for her having transparent water storage areas around her hips.

Been trying to draw differently to what I was used to. It all began a few weeks ago when I submitted a Heavy Metal cover to a Threadless contest. Pic related.
Since then, I just want to keep exploring this drawing style.
After working and wallowing in depression for a few hours. I tried to make it look right
>>82628593
I'm not certain what you're going for here (like I don't understand the pose exactly). What I think I'm seeing after looking through earlier posts is something I have a fear of or problem with myself. And that is the feeling of losing something by overlapping/foreshortening it.
What it looks like is someone laying on their back and propping themselves up on their elbows. And if I read that right I think the chest is too high.
>>82628593
>>82628788
FUCK, I left out the helpful bit. Don't be afraid to start from the back and work your way forward drawing over things as you need to.
>>82628593
welp i the first thing you should fix are your lines
they are very scratchy and it might be because of the way you use your pencil
what you want is to have nice smooth llines, look ast this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMC0Cx3Uk84
also just try to learn one thing at a time, you can use this guide, i know it can be very frustrating and in my case it even made me stop drawing for a while but now im taking it a bit slower and i have improved a bit again after months of having no improvement

first time doing digital art, turns out drawing with a mouse is hard.
just powered through the justice league cartoon and totally-not-diversity-hawkman-replacement hawkgirl seemed to be the punching bag for an entire series, so i drew me a hawkgirl.
shamelessly mirrored wings as she's gonna be standing with dr. fate or stewart lantern, not sure which, and i'm not about to spend ages more drawing a wing that'll just be obscured anyway.
she looks real odd in a thumbnail, but seems passable to me in full-size. would it just be the odd pose making me think this, or is the anatomy deeply flawed? please tell before i become the next liefeld.
>>82625924
>>82629130
Did you guys trace these, or did they have the assets available or something? These look straight out of the studio.
>>82633540
Really good, especially if it's done with just a mouse.
>>82633540
That's a fucking mouse that's impressive

Detailed model sheets are available online. I know a moderate amount of toonboom, and I also know that they use it to animate the show. I made the character rig from scratch, but my rig isn't as good as Morty anon's, it's not as complex but similar principles.

im sorry i don't want to be mean and maybe i am asking something stupid but can you tell me why you consider the one on the right an mprovement
i like the one on the left more it loolk more solid a little bit more 3 dimensional and it has more detail
i think the one on the left is just flat and the pose is weird, it almost reminds me of powerpoint clipart
i don't know maybe it's just me
>>82606227
Protip: when you're feathering for texture, always do that across the short side of the volume. Pic related is an example.
Also, try to keep the bulk of the hatching closest to the lines. Following post explains why
>>82638668
>>82606227
Hope pic related explains it decently. Since linework is still a simplification of volumes, the detail should naturally gather around the edges (the lines).
Otherwise what you will achieve (much like hatching across the long side) is that you'll flatten everything.
>>82626651
Holy shit how did you get worse
>>82641195
I wouldn't say worse, just different.
>>82629697
Only a NSFW one. How about you?
>>82633552
>>82634797
Yea, i used the model sheets that are available online but everything in that is drawn on top of that and the mouths/hands freehand drawing.
This is what it looks like once line width is equalized for the composite shot (man i love toonbooms ability to keep line width the same on any zoom).
>>82641195
More detail =/= Better art
They developed a simpler style that's more suited for animation
>>82637724
this is cute! minor nitpick though but it seems she has two left feet. it's a very common error; remember the big toes are always parallel!

Nicely done.
>>82573046
For the first time in a while, I began a streak of daily drawings, to the point that I actually made a personal tumblr to upload them and share them to other people so that they could help me improve.
However, after a while of asking them a couple of times to help me improve by pointing out some deficiencies and problems with them and them don't answering it, I lost my desire to keep drawing and I haven't drawn in like 6 days going "what's the point if I can't improve and these guys don't feel like giving me some advice." Also my tumblr had like six followers, but four of them were bots.
It's hard being a hobbyist,poor so I only have pencils and papers and not having someone to personally help you.

What do /batman/
>>82652996
Look for some critique outside of tumblr, mate. It's a good platform for posting personal progress, but it doesn't have the best structuring for active discussion and evaluation. (I also don't know how you tag it, that can and does play a big part in how much attention it gets, but you probably already knew that.) If you're looking for critique outside of the /co/ threads, I think pixelovely has a forum for it.
I can maybe feel where you're coming from, though. For months and months it's felt like I should be practicing to "get better," but there's no immediate challenge or trial I keep feeling like I'm preparing for. I could think of maybe a few chances when people could possibly "see my work," but there's just nothing concrete to motivate me. No immediately-achievable endgame for me to fight for. Hasn't been for months, probably won't be for months unless I can get lucky again.

>What do /batman/
Copying styles takes so much work it's pointless
>>82652996
Tumblr is for exposure, it's not a community and it's not a place where you want to ask for feedback.
Improving is tedious and slow, you better set goals for yourself on something to improve and work on that thing. If you're an amateur you probably don't know anatomy so that's a good place to start.
I posted some stuff related to this a while ago. Now that I have some time I'm reworking the designs for these characters, the main protagonists for an animatic I'm working on.
I've got the whole thing Thumbnailed out, but it needs a lot of changes and obviously a final pass to make it look professional.

I'm trying to make some sheckles at a local con next month, so this is supposed to be on 11x17. My question is: would it be weird for this to be landscape oriented and to have him kind of upside down? He's supposed to be fliping through the air. I was going to put rooftops under him.
Also do any of you do the whole artist-alley convention thing?
>>82649752

>>82663249
Agreed
>>82662015
from what I remember hearing from videos/friends people generally love to buy smaller things on the reg (knick knacks, prints, etc).
Also as far as landscaped flipping, eh... In landscape I feel the focus will be kind of off, and while it kind of works if he's like pole vaulting or something, he seems a bit stiff for flipping motion.
I've been working on my drawing, just recently got into line art and decided to wing it with a few techniques I picked up. Looking for critiques

Moving on to make a new portfolio called
"Prisoner 301"
>>82670631
Quick Summary:
Prisoner 301 is a recent addition to a comically high security incarceration attraction called Jail Land. Reputation is key to having higher status that comes with numerous privileges. This comes in handy for our fellow protagonist because he's committed one the biggest crimes of the decade. Unfortunately, he's been falsely accused of this crime. There are high expectations from his fellow inmates that he knows that can't be fulfilled. The only way to leave this land is by succeeding the ridiculous requests/games made the crazy Warden, to reduce his 500 year sentence.
So do you think the character sketches I posted might fit the main character?
Inspirations are Superjail and Catfish Deluxe studio, a bit of Panty and Stocking.
Trying to think of more but it's not coming to my mind right now
Kind of frustrated with the time it takes to work on something so I'm kind of switching back and forth between things to try an keep myself motivated.
I still need to work on the hair and some other things around the face and legs I think.
>>82670821
Couple of things:
What do you mean by "attraction?" You make it sound like a theme park, which is what you might be going for, but then why would there be prisoners there?
Do you know what the crime was, or is it going to be a sort of "unspeakable depravity" joke?
As for the character himself, while he looks fine, he's not particularly distinct. I like the general design, but I'd do something with the hair. Maybe change the hairstyle, or go with the larger eyebrows that you have in one of your sketches!
If this is a project, I'd love to see more of it as it comes!

>>82672117
Jail land is kind of like a school for delinquents and a state of the art penitentiary to reflect the utopia outside (everything must be perfect). The citizens believe they are helping by making the delinquents more like “them” with their donations/tax dollars. Mostly due to the encouragement and advertisements from the mayor. The citizens often tour around Jail Land to look at the delinquents in their "environment" like it’s a Zoo and watch the criminals making attempts to fulfill the Warden's games (Jail Land profits off of it).
Jail land is fuckin huge with a lot of different sections. Which is why it's like a "theme park" because all those sections are themed differently.
I'm still figuring out the crime desu but it was against his own father, a corrupted mayor on the 30th anniversary of Jail Land. He was gonna spill the beans on his dad to the public. Which is why he was framed for a crime (by his father) and sentenced 500 yrs in Jail.
Which one of the sketches?
Thanks!

i think the main problem with your drawing is that your shading is all wrong, you need to select a place from where the light is coming and add light and shadows based on that
in some parts you are doing something that is known as pillow shading
and most of the time it looks terrible,
btw what drawing program are you using anon?
>>82675888
I'm using Sumopaint, It's,uh OK kinda.
I'm using the free online version And there are a few limitations to it. And I don't have a tablet so I use the line and curve line tools to trace basically. When I don't and try to draw the lines always look squiggly and jagged. That's part of my taking forever complaint. Just to get the line done takes hours.

Try Shading with colors on your Rose, not black/grey. Try variations of red, pink, in between those.
If you need me to, i can show you what I mean!

yo cool artstyle, got a blog?
>>82676941
Thanks, glad that you like it!
Junkmix.tumblr.com or my website Janielee.info.
I have another one but... i post some weird BL crap so idk if you really want to follow the other one haha
>>82676768
I've tried that, I started doing that ,but I just don't get the results, I'm looking for, digitally at least. It looks like above but with these awful overlapping parts or tonal differences where the colors meet. But I'm not really getting the results I'm looking for now either. I don't know how much it plays into it, like maybe I'm blaming the tools instead of the lack of talent but Sumo has like a six layer maximum and it's not impossible to work around but it makes things complicated and tiresome. And I'm kind of relegated to working on this after work or on the weekends. So I'm sure part of it is I'm rushing through things and "Fuck it" or "good enough" have become like catchphrases.
I've tried downloading gimp in the past a couple times and both times my computer started fucking up afterwards. So now I think I'm kinda stuck with this for now until I feel like spending some money on this is justifiable. Maybe I'll start again tomorrow. Try something new.
Thanks for the advice and offer though.
>>82677131
Not that anon, but I would be interested in your BL site.....
How do you all normally go about character fusions?
>>82678473
Knock yourself out anon.
I warned you though.

So doing a biker lemur, and I'm kind of hating it. Here's the rough. Which looks better I guess?
working on a giant salamander inspired lizard man named Gus who is part of an incompetent team with a girl named Ding. any help?
>>82672117
I did a few more sketches his facade version in front of his inmates
Kind of liked the idea where the first version is just boring and he looks like a background character because he just came from the utopian world.
And then his masked personal is more edgy and shit (but really he's just internally screaming and trying to get through the day)
>>82680000
a man is his own worst critic...the right looks nicer
>>82614013
Focus less on the outside, and more on the inside of the body. You're building your house without a proper foundation/frame, and it's going to end up looking pretty wonky in the end. Look up gesture drawing/capturing the line of action to get a better idea of how to draw the human form in situations like these.

Thanks friend. I don't use guidelines/reference often so I can hardly trust my perspective. Sometimes I'll finish something and it honestly just looks way too static.
>>82628895
Thanks for showing Proko to me man.
>>82677596
Want photoshop? I have a crack of it uploaded to Google Drive.
Also, for color, notice how Rose's skin is shaded with pink in the show. For starters, just try colorgrabbing from that.

Made this on paint and with a mouse a week ago, not sure why, I just enjoy drawing stuff I guess
>>82681490
That's kinda hot
>>82681516
Thanks anon, I appreciate it
in the middle of doing a study but im flatlining

Mushed my hands something fierce a couple years back during my oh so special time on a Road Crew and coupling that with some darling arthritis I don't draw very much anymore, but I do occasionally like to doodle on graph paper. Can't wrap my head around perspective or depth, but eh. Sorry for the picture, all I have to work with is a Surface Tablet's camera.
On occasion I also like to draw with my mouse in MS, and it turns out about as well as you'd imagine. >>471028 /i/ seems to like it though... not sure why.
Don't usually like sharing my stuff, but its late, I'm making pasta and I feel like I'll make people feel better by example.
>>82681397
I don't know, pink looks weird to me.
Even on in the show. I'll try some different colors tomorrow maybe some light purples maybe.I'll probably just start over entirely.
And if you're offering PS, I'll definitely accept. Gonna feel super bad when my work still looks like trash though.
>>82628895
>all that Cirno
Mine has a few issues but I'll post it anyways.
>>82681915
Looks good to me.
Also I have a question for any artist. What are the best brushes or blocking in when using something like photoshop? I find I can sit and block in, but if I need to change to lighter opacities then I'm having to go to the color wheel everytime, it's a bit tedious, so I was wondering if there's any good settings.
>>82682417
That looks 5 million times better already!
On a drawing like that, "hard" shading might be better than soft. Try that out!
And here is photoshop! for max effectiveness, get kyle's brushes too.

Hey guys wasn't there a skype chat or two? How do I get in them?

hawkgirl poster from the other day again, managed to get a new piece in a day and a bit -- maybe a new record for most drawings in a short timespan.
this one spawned after a friend mentioned that martian manhunter is painfully underrepresented in comics and arts, so while trying to think of what to do with him i had a brilliant idea
please welcome j'onn st. j'onn, same dealio as last time; keyboard, mouse, and about a day of work.
incidentally, have a slightly revised hawkgirl.

How about the first one? I like the style you've got going, very clean.

Did this one yesterday
More testing
I really wanna finish this, but I don't know what to do next. I think the face is off but I'm not sure how to fix it, any ideas /co/?
I'm trying to make a sliding D.va in a weird mechgirl suit, unfortunately though I'm having problems (torso, angle), but mainly I can't get this leg/angle right.
>>82691315
Got a page?
>>82574735
what'd u use to animate with? Like what program?
>>82701476
make her right leg past her knee about twice as long as it is right now, its a little too short as it is right now
her foot looks a little flat too, try fleshing it out a little more along with her ankle
sorry if im being a little vague, anon. I have trouble explaining these sorta things
>>82701672
I undestand for the most part I think. I think I may just duplicate the slide angle that like Vanquish uses, atleast with the other foot.
>>82574735
Neat. How long did a project like this take to produce?
how are my faces?
>>82703660
woops. forgot the image
>>82698901
Very nice. What program do you use?
>>82703691
pretty good, I like your style a lot
>>82704147
Same as always, SAI
>>82701476
Well I finished lining it, I think the leg looks acceptable now.
>>82698901
She's a real qt3.14; gives me like a modern Chel vibe
>>82698901
not to be insensitive or anything, i mean this is fantastic and all, but those eyes are kinda huge and gleamy to the extent of being anime
>>82680045
>>82683974
i'd like to hear some honest to reasonable opinions and advice before moving on to finish this if possible
>>82708669
>Japanese Giant Salamander
Shouldn't he be a bit more flat? Maybe in the head portion atleast? I mean it looks good, but it's pretty unfinished so it's hard to give any real criticism. Is he going to have a tail?
workan on muh lineweights
>>82709631
wanna compensate for having almost no neck, but I'll try to make it more flatter. he's gonna have a tail, that place maker he's holding is going to be that severed tail.
thanks for your honest and reasonable thoughts
>>82709631
I mean he'd be looking headless if i made the head flat, and i wanted him to be big and muscular in contrast to his compainion
>>82709631
is this any better?
It feels finished
>>82710475
He looks fine either way to be honest. I was more just trying to find something. The flatter like that does look a little better to me desu. Again, it's just really hard to judge.
>>82709930
I like this, looks really Poppyish. How exactly are your brushes set for getting such large not perfectly refined (in a good way) lines? Whenever I do lineart (like >>82706068 ) it just comes out a bit too clean, and then I have to give it the once over or just make up for it heavily in coloring. Sorry if the questions weird.
>>82710992
I like your lineart if it's any consolation. I think you need to work on foreshortening and how the body works with that.
>>82710992
I am stealing the movement lines from Poppy, great observation!
I'm working in Krita so I can't give you any real specifics. I just try to keep the line weights varied because it makes it look better to me. I use bigger lines for bigger shapes and smaller lines for more of the detail stuff.
>>82711053
Yeah, I didn't particularly do proper sketching or guides for any of the perspective, and started sketching out the head (big mistake) so the foreshortening is pretty bleh. It's probably my hardest thing to tackle, especially when not working from reference.
>>82711107
>Krita
I didn't even know this existed. How does this program compare to say Manga Studio/Photoshop? I use 5 and CC often (MangaStudio more than CC because it works with my touch features more often). Looks pretty legit.
>>82711235
I'm not going to compare art programs that I don't know much about, just try it out for yourself and see if you like it or not.
>>82709930
the motion lines on his face are really overblown, i think. they've just become a kind of hairy mass. the rest of his body already is showing movement, you really don't need that many lines on his face.
>>82711316
>It's free open source
Oh, I didn't even notice that. Cool, I'll give it a swing.
>>82711394
I was supposing it would be something hitting him right in the face, but that's not particularly drawing in, so if it's just conveying a swinging motion out and no impact then I agree, face maybe has too much movement exaggeration.
>>82698901
How do you guys feel about Stabilization in drawing? I find for doing decent line-art it's almost necessary for me to have atleast SOME stabilization. It just feels kind of cheap using it though.I guess they're all tools of convenience so at the end of the day if it looks good it's fine.
>>82713475

Rookie mistakes
>>82713781
I think it's pretty important, and fairly necessary for a tablet.
The real lifesaver is the vector eraser in Clip Studio Paint.
Screencaps from a thing. It's going to be animated, btw. And the lights and dust motes are going to be done in After Effects, I just made a mockup in Flash to see how it would look.
Not sure how I feel about the shading style but I wanted to try it out.
>>82713781
I don't have an issue with using it or others using it. It's not cheap, it's just an efficient way of doing digital lineart.
