God I miss 2009.
I was just made aware of this "Famous Artist's Cartoon Course" through an artist I follow on facebook yesterday.
While it was freely available on this site: http://randomnerds.com/learn-to-draw-cartoons-with-the-now-public-domain-famous-artist-cartoon-course-textbook/ since June of last year, it's divided up into 18 sections and at a cursory glance I wasn't able to find it "complete" anywhere else. For convenience's sake I've compartmentalized it into a single 271 page .pdf, uploaded it to my mega folder and organized these separate "lessons" into chapters. Check it out.

>>2398808
Thanks man, that page alone is great.
>>2398831
Just from flipping through it there definitely appears to be a lot of solid material here; a good consolidation of cartooning and formal drawing techniques (perspective, foreshortening etc.).
There are a handful of illustrations that look to be "homages" of Loomis plates from FWAP and FDFAIW, but this book goes into a lot of detail where FWAP in particular trails off towards the end. The art styles within vary wildly, some could be considered "dated" or even just "shitty" in general and that might be a put off to some, though. It appears that up to 10 artists have all contributed to it.

probably not worth finishing but whatever
>>2398366
I drew this for a contest and got last place, how should I feel? Ant crits? I need to work harder now in order to git bettr
>>2399416
>tfw no giant loli gf to huggle with
>>2399436
It's a very stiff, flat drawing and generally just boring. It's no wonder you got last place.
>>2399416
The eyes aren't the same size.
And no, that's not how perspective works.
>>2399416
Cute.
reminds me of this one pic i seen of a giantess Futa fucking a building. lol
what materials is the artist using to make these colors?
>>2399826
markers like copic or similar
>>2399650
I'll try to fix this at least, thanks for the feedback.

That torso looks like a man, baby.
>>2399983
yeah I didnt realise i made the hips narrower than the shoulders too. Ey she is wearing a male swimsuit anyway so we can make her a trap
>>2399978
looks transgender to be real honest kazoku
>>2399978
If you want this to not look like a man:
Wider hips
Narrower waist
Smaller muscles
Tits not pointed straight up at the viewer
Actual definition/curve in the legs.
>>2399633
Any thing else? The list of things i need to improve on is: Line quality, line weight, gestures, and more complex coloring. Is this it? Am I missing something?
adding in the wings i begin to worry this ain't gonna read as cleanly as i'd like
tho the wings are transparent for the most part they're tinted so i worry it'll still fill a bit too cluttered but i really need something to counter balance the hair of the figure on the right

hi guys,sceptch 1-2 hours

Nice. I think you could improve your workflow a bit for perspective stuff. 1-2 hours is more than enough to throw in a real horizon and vp's

My newest shit drawing after 2 years of not drawing. Am I doomed to start from the beginning?
>>2401536
have you done construction for the face? also, beg thread
>>2401421
Cute mahou!
>>2401541
A little bit, I haven't touched my tablet in forever so making so it's hard because the forms I make just end up wrong since I can't control my pen.
>>2401542
Thank You!
among other things why are these feet fucked up?
>>2401577
Firez I'd advise caution critiquing anybody's eyes.
While your correction is an improvement for sure, you did what you always do and just faded the fuck out of the eyes and made her look like she's done a few too many tours in Vietnam.
Every time you do eyes you do the same thing. They all look like PTSD survivors or fishmonsters or some shit. Maybe it's a stylistic choice but I hope you realize it looks strange.
Cool anon, there are 2 consistent things that bother me in your drawings.
-The way you draw eyes
-Proportions (particularly the girth of the neck)
Here is an idea, it probably detours on what you want to achieve but I hope it helps, if you can't do construction at this moment at least try to keep features on the same level (for instance take your stylus and match the angle of the mouth, replicate said angle in the nose and eyes to keep things more consistent.
Shape of the face also had issues, try to get an appealing shape before laying down you features.
And finally have form always present in your mind, use values to make things turn and create a solid sense of 3D
Please keep going I quite liked that girl in sweater you seem to have made with graphite pencil the other day, it is obvious you have an aesthetic sense but you seem to be rushing out too much.
>>2401580
Symbol drawing feets, try to understand draw their shape. It's not usually the hardest part of the body to draw for nothing.
>>2401591
What the fuck is up with you and lifeless eyes
>>2401590
I am actually very cautious whenever I give advice about anything.
I may be a noob but there are things I know for sure. As for the eyes...well It seemed to be fitting judging by his original drawing and leaving the pupils a bit blurred out doesn't make a strong commitment to perfection that discourages people while it helps you to complete the rest in your mind by creating a slight hint that is good enough to be characteristic (I have some strongly defined eyes in my finished works that started this way).
>>2401580
Just a beginner, but I'll show you what I can see. First, your feet are splayed very widely in a somewhat extreme angle. Second, they don't have any structure(study feets!). you need to define the heel, arch, toebox, ankle. A bit of different positioning between them(from the hip down) helps it feel more natural as well.
>>2401592
thanks
sometimes I do forget
I was really happy with the left until I tried to draw her puss
and then it opened a can of worms that has slowly consumed my original drawing
should I keep going with the left side or go back to the right side?
and if I go back to the left side whats wrong with her pelvis?
>>2401547
i didn't mean to agree with the terrible part, i honestly thing it's a great piece
i wish i could help you but what you're currently showing is at a level where i couldn't offer any help beyond you telling me what direction you want to go in creatively
you could also post more work (or your blog or whatever) where i could possibly see any overarching problems you might have, but that piece you posted is p much rock solid, if still an acquired taste
wip, is there anything standing out that i need to fix in the contour b4 i complete the lineart?
Just curious, anyone here ever got in the high ranking charts of Pixiv? My best so far was a pic getting #87.
Thought it was only about the quality, but the top 50 is litterally only made of fanarts of that osomatsu serie, it's insane.
idk if i should continue this.
>>2401644
your wrist anatomy is poor, her body is long and over simplified, the cloth around the shoulder is just wrong, I'm confused as to the perspective but im guessing you're working on an infinite close up.
>>2401659
looks gud, although a bit boring content wise. finish it.
blog?
>>2401603
>i may be a noob
better than at least 70% of i/c
>>2401547
its good because your anatomy is good ( ie legs structure, arm flow, hand size, face size, good bow symmetry, its bad because the details are terrible one eye missing, wings dont work, face features are inelaborate, clavicle is too wiggly.
Basically, Someone who draws well can see the leg and see that you're good, someone who doesnt draw will only see the bad details. I think you might want to draw bigger so you can get your details in properly.
>>2401662
right now i wish to burn my whole gallery so im not showing sry. yeah its boring. will try to polish it a bit more and maybe add something tomorrow.
>>2400886
really like the trim and slim look used here
>>2401667
>face features are inelaborate
You think I should study more faces from Loomis and Hampton? Then stylize it once I have the basics down?
I'll study wings and clavicles a little more. As well as drawing big and adding more detail.
>>2401626
>you're currently showing is at a level where i couldn't offer any help
No need to cushion the blows man. I actually dont know where I want to go creatively. This was the first time I had to sit down and study animu faces. If it looks weird to you, just let me know. I'll definitely study whatever oddities there are
>>2400936
andrae is that you
>>2401591
Thanks for taking the time to redraw my work. I really appreciate that Firez. Gracias!
I try to make them ASAP. I want to eventually make them like Kron in less of 1 hour. Probably I shoudn´t rush.
But is it possible to make them good and with a professional look in that amount of time?
I hate taking so much time to make a painting. For instance the rendering of the skull study took me more than 1 hour and I used a reference.. I hate that.
I redraw following your advice. However:
Does the girth of the neck look that bad? the neck seems matching to one of normal women...
The light is coming lightly from the left. and the yes are looking down to spectator or the camera below.
Thanks it was a digital sketch of a photo.
I will keep going ;)
proportions?
>>2401978
glad you're drawing <3
Some lineart I was pleased with. She's a dryad/plant girl.
Will color later.
>>2402141
very cute. does she have a nose or is that just a blushu?
>>2401490
stay positive
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTaOzFVZIIY
>>2401905
>No need to cushion the blows man.
no lie, i really like that piece from a stylistic standpoint, the super minimal detail (this includes there only being one eye), the slight wobble to the lines, the wings looking like a prop from some high school play, i personally find it unique and interesting
all the things the other anon said are good crits, but they're also things that i really like this piece for, that's the catch 22 of "style", but keep in mind it is an acquired taste and if you're trying to go for commercial viability it will get a less than immediate response most likely.
>>2401778
might i ask if you mean style wise or body wise?
>>2401644
Use reference.
>>2401661
Read the post, its just a contour, ofc its oversimplified, the vial she holds exploded so her suit is burned ergo the weird charred sholder cloth as for the other things i cant trust your word ever since you posted your work, no offense intended
>>2401952
No problem, glad to know it helps.
Por cierto me olvide por un momento que hablas español pero de momento dejaré el resto en Inglés talvéz todo esto le sirva a alguien más.
>But is it possible to make them good and with a professional look in that amount of time?
I honestly don't know but if I were to take a guess I would say "no" at least not in the case of proper professional level illustrations.
I do remember when I started that I had this idea of eventually uploading speed painting videos to my YT channel but after getting reality checked by how much I suck and how much effort it takes me to come up with something vaguely decent I abandoned the idea.
>I hate taking so much time to make a painting. For instance the rendering of the skull study took me more than 1 hour and I used a reference.. I hate that.
You really need to develop patience, learn to love the drudgery of the process,
I would admit I have taken this to the extreme and making several quick "false" starts on the side would have helped me even more but if you really want to come up with something that pleases you that will not happen by chance it's a really concious process, eventually you may internalize some steps but the mental effort is always there.
>Does the girth of the neck look that bad? the neck seems matching to one of normal women...
The thing is that this kind of things can be very relative, for instance you've a tiny body and a stylized character, hence the proportion of the neck in relation to the other elements seems odd. if you were to use more realistically proportioned shoulders and face features it would fit.
>The light is coming lightly from the left. and the yes are looking down to spectator or the camera below.
>Thanks it was a digital sketch of a photo.
I take you're using it as a vague reference, if this is the case Why don't you try to study it instead?
>>2402806
I know I gotta be patient. just hoped I could make several good quality pieces per day. I guess I am sacrificing quality to speed.
About the digital sketch made from reference wasn´t the picture you redrawn but the japanese girl sketch you liked (pic related).
Thanks again Firez you are a cool guy
cant decide if I want to ink or paint
>>2401612
>>2401580
Feet are pretty hard, I hope this helps a bit
>>2402744
Its fine, if you thinking youre better validates you,
>>2402744
i am aware of the burning, the fact that its a contour drawing changes nothing the proportions are still fucked, to give you an idea of what i mean, try placing a horizon line, and then, tell me how far you are from the figure.
>>2403134
hm, im really just getting into perspective, but the way i imagine it is- a girl is doing this pose, standing in a room, no camera tilts or anything, her body is facing a vp to the right notice the butt, but her torso is twisted towards the viewer. I may not know what you mean, by how far am I from her cuz in my mind I can imagine it. please draw over it so i get what u mean
>>2399416
Extended the canvas. I'm pretty sure I should be changing the orientation of the girl's body too, but I'm not too sure how to go about doing that
>>2403257
My eyes are forced onto the collapsing buildings behind her and it's in a tug-o-war against the figure for attention.
>>2403261
I'll lower their contrast when I get to adding values, thanks... I should probably seperate them and her with some smoke too I think
>>2403055
oh wow thanks dude
I already finished it last night but that would of really helped when I was making it
Any good tips on drawing anime faces? Every time I draw them it's a guessing game to get the right roundness, otherwise the character turns fugly.
>>2403280
Just take references from other artists and learn how they draw theirs.
>>2403281
Also, just avoid most "anime faces tutorials" like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGCiQySjIp4
They just show yo the most basic anime faces ever. There are ton of ways to draw those, just pick one you like when looking at skilled artist. Just try to not get their samefaces habits.
More drawings from me. Nose or no? What facial features (asides from eyes, obv) should I change, exaggerate, or omit when maximizing cuteness?
>>2403285
You didn't choose a very good artist to use as an example. It looks fine from the front, but the guys draws really weird heads, and all sense of form and perspective goes out the window when he goes for a 3/4 view. Everything just sinks into the skull, and they grow a weird snout.
>>2403280
Best advice is to understand that you're not just drawing the face on a flat surface. The eyes, nose and mouth actually have form, and follow and shape the contours of the face.
It's most important when drawing the eyes and eyebrows, as they shape the surface of the face. The nose works as a good landmark, while the mouth should follow the contour of the jaw and chin.
>>2403296
That nose is ugly as sin, try to simplify it. And why is the interior lf the mouth so tiny? Don't detail it too much either.
>>2403302
Don't talk shit about Asanagi man. The faces s/he draws are totally fine, I put them here because they have a more "original" structure, to show even for cute anime faces there can be a lot of variety.
>>2401644
this is what your torso resembles, a shot from below, within 6 meters.
>>2403330
i tried my best to keep everything constant while making the perspective an infinite zoom up.
its pretty shitty but it shows the concept.
>>2403343
>tried my best to keep everything constant to hide my lack of fundamentals
(you)
>>2403349
do you even know what im talking about?
>>2403352
That's a question for yourself; do you even know what you're talking about? Let's keep it at that and end this conversation short.
>>2403362
Nose dudes "redline" fixes the proportions, is there something wrong?
>>2403362
no, youre not getting away with that, ive literally explained it in my post, but its an advanced enough issue that im sure you have no idea what i mean anyway.
>>2403376
Stop talking to me.
>>2403377
I see you are unable.
>>2403330

thank you
so... i'm a beginner and i'm trying to learn to draw anime style...
This thread or beginner thread?
i'm confused...
>>2403484
Stay here, this is your home.
>>2403484
can you explain how the transition is made from ground brown to the mountains? she on a cliff?
>>2403452
Beautiful composition, especially the path along the bottom...everything looks so very inviting.
Are you going to take this piece further?
>>2403492
First day adventuring into backgrounds (literally) this is my first drawing with a background (began drawing 1 month ago)
Wanted to draw some kind of mountain oasis but i guess i failed
>>2403499
you managed to say you were new twice in a comment.
What im alluding to his the fact that your grass on the far planes of the ground is the same density ( particles or blades of grass/size) per square area as before. Try using one of those perspective grids and put the same amount per square and youll see what i mean. Additionally, you didnt blend the mountains into the ground they just start. This works if theyre further away, but its broken by current perspective.
>>2403513
Thank you! That is relly encouraging
About reference, no i went by memory and imagination with the help of googling how to draw a mountain and sky
>>2403519
Thank you will try to fix the grass,
About the mountains... i wanted her to be in one of those "green islands" u can see in the nearest mountain, but i guess i failed
>>2403484
Learn basic anatomy, perpective and landscape. Even if you only want to draw anime stuff your future artwork will greatly benefit from those fundamentals.
hey guys first wip ive done in years. what do you think? im trying to make it very simple but struggling on a few aspects of this wip.
>>2402818
No problem cool anon, keep at it!
>>2398366
I guess I will leave it like this and try other color schemes
Trying some concept and gag stuff.
>>2402141
finished colors
>>2402146
thanks! no nose tho
Problems?
>>2403746
Why is his pec inserting halfway down his bicep? Why is the entire deltoid sitting on his collarbone? Why are we getting a 3/4 of the knee when the foot is in profile? Can you learn some anatomy already
>>2403800
The torso and head seems too far toward the left. And the arm looks detached from the torso
>>2403824
Thanks anon. I'm not sure I want to change the orientation of his upper body, but do the arms look better?
>>2403848
FUCKING ONE FOOT FORWARD ONE FOOT OUT FUCK YOU
>>2403850
I did it just for you Nose Bro :^)
>>2403853
its DYNAMIC mate
>>2403848
This is my interpretation. I think you can take a lasso tool and cut tool to move each limb closer together. Or move the head and torso around. The center line is off, so i tried to fix it?
>>2403869
I think you're probably right that the outstretched arm should move in, I feel like your redline pushed the other shoulder in too close though. Alright anon, thanks again for the feedback.
Okay one last attempt at fixing it. If this still doesn't look right I'm calling it quits for the night.
Does it work?
>>2403940
Really lose, but it looks beautiful
>>2404179
Don't say that to your girlfriend, m8.
Does it look buff or fat?
I was trying to lean more towards buff.
>>2403306
Doesn't make you any less wrong. I don't mind the style, but it's not good to use something that's so structurally fucked up as reference.
>>2403940
Yeah it works. Maybe variate the fringe a bit more on the left side, the part that's just a flat line makes me think of Jim Carey's bowl cut in Dumb and Dumber.
Great shading and shadows.
I think right most pose will be ok?
>>2404198
Reminds me of Bison
>>2403924
I messed with it some more but everything I change just seems to make it look more wrong. I just need things placed mostly right so I can do the clothes and shit and be done.
Tell me ur opinions, it's a wip btw, maybe i did the lineart too early but i'm willing to redo it if something is wrong/shitty.
>>2404331
for some reason i really love it
Tweaked the face, guess it would be time to do the full color now.
>>2404208
Progressing slowly. Hopefully the view looks alright?
>>2401062
the colors makes me cozy
>>2404331
i feel that the eyes are too big and too distant to each other.
Everything else is fine to me!
>>2404403
nice try
>>2404331
I think it's cool, Anonymous. Give her a floor to be squatting on.
oyasuminasai senpai-tachi
>>2403817
I fucked up some areas of the shadow layer (this method is such a mess of layers) that explains the odd insertion of the pecs, I will revise the deltoid, knee is not on 3/4 but I will clear it up to make it read better
>Can you learn some anatomy already
I'm trying
As for pic related I'm trying to make some believable glass shards and fix what is needed in order to finish it
>>2404886
Your expressions are kind of ugly
Why did you make her right leg similar in the final? It looked way more interesting when it was turned inward
>>2404886
not nearly kawaii enough
>>2404899
Firez. I think you need to stress more the light on the cloth. The girl is sexy, take advantage of that.
Here´s some little changes I made.
Stress shadow, neck, ECM, tits and the shadow of the eyes
>>2404957
your changes are stupid.
>added retarded nipples.
>>2404965
Gay detected I will make some changes just for you, baby, ok?
Add some cracks with light inside (internal reflection of the glass). That will make it look like real glass. Pic related
>>2404965
Here you go trip fag. You don´t like nipples so you must like cock. Here´s a nice cock for you to suck. Already has a milk drop on its head is waiting for you to suck it like the nice little femenine faggot bitch you are.
You suck it you kitty bitch!
>>2404965
Do erect nipples bother you, Anon?
Really trying to change how I do rendering, gonna try to work from dark to light.
>>2405005
It's the best way...
>>2405007
I've never done it this way for a stylized drawing mainly because it's anime-style but I hope I get better results this way
how bad is it
dont drink and draw
actually do
its fun
>>2405005
work from the middle out
>>2401644
here's a thing for you. she needs cheek fat. its make makes animes cute in 3/4 view
>>2405223
>cheek fat
It's usually strange to see some animu faces with such a large head a cheek fat, but it almost looks like they have no bottom chin.
maybe this is too porn for this thread? lel
>>2405259
this feels so awkward
>>2405223
her face in overall started reminding me of ilya, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

why? your dick is not 19 cm? eheh

Also, read sticky.
>>2405279
its like you're chicken scratching digitally
the computer literally fixes lines for you, there is no excuse anon. Make cleaner lines and define your forms
>>2405283

Sometimes my sketches are really like that, im tired asf so i just wanted to have some fun(file name)
>>2405299
Yea, tomorrow i bring something thats not soooo sketchy and isnt loligirls
>>2405305
Neat, although I appreciate both
>>2399650
The eyes are like that because its how the "anime" style is done, the japs like the whole one eye bigger than the other.
first attempt at drawing a chibi.
>>2405197
The wolf's face has lots of small structural asymmetries which makes it look grotesque. I'm not sure about canine eye anatomy but he looks walleyed like they aren't facing the same direction. Mononoke's pose is stiff and her arms are different lengths. I won't complain about the face other than to say she looks like an attractive older woman, which clash with Studio Ghibli's original depiction
>>2405320
Here's the difference between stylized and muh style, summed up in 6 easy to remember words: Did you get away with it? If you can look at it and it feels right even when it's technically wrong, they got away with it. It looks intentional and coherent, it's style. If you look at it and you know what they were TRYING to do, they didn't get away with it. They didn't sell it, and trying to sell it after the fact by verbalizing what you already know they were trying to do is known as muh styling. Style doesn't need to be supported by explanation, if it does, it's muh style. This also doesn't mean style excuses errors. If there's a visible error ie something that feels wrong, they didn't get away with it. Style is a plan, not a diversion. Now you know, and knowing is half the etc.
>>2405320
I don't agree, the structure of her chin, mouth, and nose suggest that the further eye should be brought down to the level of her nose. Or else the whole jaw should be rotated up to match the level of the eye.
>>2405277

who's that
This has been a struggle and idk why

Dj my man, try straying away from your cartoony style for a bit, it might help if you do some photo studies and worked on realistic anatomy/proportions.

You seem to be trying to render symbol drawing and doing fairly well at it. Her facial features appear to have some depth and all, but that ear looks to be just as deep in her face as her nose and sticks out the same direction as her shoulders and her hair is trying to flow with and around it which means you weren't actually thinking in three dimensions, just trying to get what you feel should be there, there. Perhaps I'm wrong and someone more experienced could point you in a better direction, though.
I see what you mean. Thank you!

That giant scar on the guy looks weird and more like nerves.

kek, i see what you did there
can someone give me some inspiration for the remaining wands? pls before i start drawing dildoes
>>2405823
Just fucking use google and search for magic wands.
>>2405823
>>2405823
I think you need some inspiration on your fundamentals
whats harder to learn/do. draw properly or render properly ?
>>2405841
depends on the individual.
>>2405210
That's what I've been doing since I started drawing digitally and I don't always like how it turns out.

upright version kek

The picture would be a lot better if it was rotated 90 degrees.
>>2406135
Pic is too big.
>>2406137
you were wrong
>>2406138
damn sorry, I have to go so I just snapped a quick pic, I can post a resized version when I get back
>>2406135
Nose is small and ugly and has no shading around the cheek. The structure of the face is too tall. The hair is uniformly shaded with no prominent light source. The texture of the scruffy hair at the top of her head is inconsistent from the hanging part. She has ugly red blotches around her eyes. The ear is too high up and doesn't connect with the chin or line up with the mouth. The neck is too long. The shoulder doesn't line up with the scapula. The folds of the cloth around the shoulder are wrong.
>>2406151
Thanks! I can see most of these now, but what do you mean by the ear doesnt line up with the mouth?
>>2406158
The top of the ear should line up with the eyeline and the bottom of the ear should line up with the mouthline. It might be the case that the top of the ear being covered by hair means that the ear is as tall as the distance between the mouth and eyes, but then the perspective requires her head to be tilted down. From the construction and the neck that doesn't seem to be the case, so the ear is either too high up or too short.
>>2406163
The ear lines up with the top of the brow and the bottom of the nose man. But its k the other things you pointed out were fine bro
>>2406170
I drew a facial structure for you.
>>2406187
I realize now this isn't very good because its a different structure from what you intended. Sorry
This however comes from the confusion because I'm not sure which of these angles you intended. The position of the features suggest either a flat or curved midline but its not clear which.
>>2406225
the midline i intended was flat, like she is tilting her head to the side , fucked up with the neck tho and my ear is in the wrong perspective. damn just notice that
>>2406239
Still better than your redlines.
>>2406239
i get what he was going at nose bro, the red lines are slighthly bad tho but its k i got the message
>>2406187
you're desperately getting ahead of yourself here
your curves aren't representing form well enough and you're mistaking the contours of the head as the actual form of it, and the face and head look bulbous this way unfortunately
also you're not going to get any good lineart done drawing with your pen set so wide. What are you doing
>>2405637
Is lightning scar I will have to fix it because it's too flat atm
>>2406284
I didn't intend to draw any more than a quick set of thick lines just to suggest curvature.
Anyway the artist is done with that picture so the discussion is just for next time. I don't need to defend throwaway redlines done in seconds to demonstrate an idea.
>>2406243
are you unaware of your lack of skill or are you severely mis-remembering the quality of my redlines?
give me
>>2405631
>>2405667
I love you too <3
Here's my pallet choices thus far
>>2406369
woops, accidentally mis-styled that ear really badly lol
I should really stop trying to lineart with a square brush too...
>>2406369
nice job nose bro, should have made my painting less transparent so I see my fuck ups tho lel. ill analyze it tnx
