Is the art really that bad?

I've seen quite a bit of this comic thanks to /co/ bitching about it, which is understandable because I remember the shitstorm from when this came out.

But art seems passable. I can identify objects and motions. It's just the faces that are so fucked.

I normally never, ever read Superhero comics.

Are so many superhero comic artists really such huge hacks, that they can't do anatomy on their own without tracing and stealing?

And the ones that do their own anatomy draw horrible, disfigured, disproportionate monstrosities that make you wonder why they even continued with shading/coloring details after the initial anatomic sketches?
>>
>>84438501
That goes beyond just "this doesn't suit my tastes." or "this is crudely drawn."
This looks deliberately unappealing. Is the artist trying to make the ugliest product they can in attempt to ward off readers?

Frazer Irving art is superb, you pleb...

But yes, he should avoid cape comics, his style just doesn't fit.
>>
>>84438569
I don't know which comics you read, but in my book it's terrible art. Sure, there are places where it's technically correct, and the artist is obviously practiced. She can draw good hands, by the looks of it, for instance.

But there are also anatomy mistakes everywhere. Ones that stand out. Like a woman looking like a man so much that Tumblr outed themselves as the judgemental pricks they really are and declared the character trans. Which she isn't.

The art could most charitably be described as "mostly functional". Personally, I find the faces she draws to be incredibly hard to look at. The mouths are off-putting, the noses look inhuman, and the eyes are unexpressive.

It's the sort of art you wouldn't scoff at if you found it on the side of a Mexican ice cream van. But panel after panel? No thanks.

The art in manga is widely too simplistic for a Western comic. Mangakas don't do very impressive art as often as they instinctively churn out shit that looks practically identical to 80% of other manga (since they've practiced that until they can draw a standard anime eye in 0.01 seconds flat when endangeed) to meet their ridiculously tight deadlines and keep up with their slave-labor schedule and getting paid in peanuts.

There's some exceptions but that's mostly it

That's subjective, because I find that 10x more effort and detail is put into manga and western artists don't really make an effort to make their art look different beyond using a different color pallete
I mean, for the most part, western capeshit is just a series of computer generated backgrounds traced over to look like they drew it themselves and then awkwardly putting actors in those scenes
Western Artists are actually terrible at fight scenes

Most manga looks the same on a way that could be misintepreted as symbol drawing. The style is so universal that people make guides on how to draw manga specifically and given that the student actually understands fundamentals the results should be accurate enough. A lot of popular mangaka have their own distinctive style, but they're the exception, not the rule. Of all the things you could have praised about manga that is not one of them

>>84443774
>Most manga looks the same on a way that could be misintepreted as symbol drawing
No anon, that's not because all manga looks the same, it's because the west doesn't actually consume comics, western or eastern
People think of that symbolized drawing in the same way that people think that all comics are about superheroes

If you asked any person on the street to name a comic book character, chances are that they'd name something from from Marvel or DC, and most definitely a super hero character
Even though comics like Ghost World, Scott Pilgrim, and Sin City have all spawned movie versions, they aren't considered comic book movies because people don't really know about the comic books they are based on

So if manga and anime all looks a specific way to you, it's because you don't actually consume enough manga

I still say she looks pretty cute there, and I think the eye makeup is more than okay
And really, Squirrel Girl looking terrible in her original appearance shouldn't even be an argument because Erica Henderson draws all of her characters that terribly
I'm sure you know about how she had to remind people that a main character wasn't trans because she couldn't adequately draw a female with masculine features without making them look completely like a dude in drag
Not only that, but since her appearance, she has looked much cuter
After years of Squirrel Girl looked at least kinda cute, why would you draw her terribly and cite her original appearance
Nobody expects the Iron Man armor to look clunky, grey, and made from spare parts even though that's what it looked like in it's first appearance

How? Aesthetic value exists in the world as colour does- dependent on perception but available to all observers capable of perceiving.

It wasn't the main character people thought was trans, it was her black sidekick, and i honestly blame that on the fact that most sjw's have never met a black person before in real life.

As for the artist herself, read her issues of Archer and Armstrong, or Jugghead if you'd like. Her art is fine, if a little off model occasionally. But but when your working on multiple books at once, thats to be expected. It probably looks off to so many people because it's in a Marvel book, which is associated with cape comics. Considering the book in question is more of a comedy with the occasional superhero antics, having a non-house style seems appropriate.

Do i think she's one of the best artists around today? No, far from it. Did she deserve the Eisner she got? Probably not, but thats more a problem with award show/ceremonies in general than a problem with her.

As for her not looking cute in her style, well, nothing I say really matters on that front. If the only reason you read a book is because a character is "cute", that's fine, but don't get mad at another book for not being cute when that wasn't it's intention in the first place.

The new Squirrel girl was made as a comedy book, it did not set out to be cute/waifu material. If you don't find it funny, that's something to criticize it for. But don't criticize it for something it was never meant to be in the first place.

Not him, but I don't read any Marvel stuff, and I think it looks fucking terrible. Especially the noses. Henderson does not understand how to draw a nose that doesn't look like a potato. Every character who turns their head sideways looks like they've got a broken nose. Every nose is the same blob with holes drawn in it, giving every character a piggish appearance in some perspectives. Everyone has the same lips, too.

It's bad art. Pure and simple. Beneath the level of anyone who should be drawing professionally. There are hobbyists and porn-artists out there who consistently do better stuff than Henderson. She can not draw human faces worth a damn, and that's especially galling in a comic where the characters *aren't* masked up and fighting crime every other page. What SG is trying to do really relies on good character art.

she is a perfect example of forced diversity hire that kills merit based success.

>>84444406
I said "a main character" because she shows up often and I forgot her name

I've read some issues of Jugghead, the art is still shit. It's not off model, it just looks bad.
Google "poorly drawn pikachu". Those aren't really off model, pikachu is a basic design that doesn't really need embellishing. If you do think it's off model, that's fine, because they still pretty much look like a pikachu. You can still tell that it's pikachu. But it's still not a good drawing of pikachu.
Her working on multiple things just means that she should prioritize if she wants to actually produce a high quality comic. She still does guest appearances and sketch commissions, maybe she could not do those things while working on the comic.

On her tumblr, the stuff she does in her spare time, the art is still bad. It's very complex, she has a very skilled approach to coloring. But her art is sloppy, she doesn't really finish certain features like hands and fingers, feet, backgrounds, and other things that she uses the pose of the body to hide. She's capable, but I wouldn't say she's a good artist

You're right, it wasn't intended to be a comic with cute looking characters. But it not being cute doesn't mean it's the only reason it's bad NOR that it's immune from criticism on those parts. This is a thread about bad art. The reason we aren't talking about the whole of the comic is because that's not what the thread is about
She should be criticized on all parts of her comic because that's the product she puts out.
Why would you not criticize parts of something simply because they weren't the focus?
If someone served you food and it tasted terrible, it was messy and greasy, and put together in a way that made it hard to eat, would you not criticize the food even if the chef's intent was just to serve it to you as fast as possible?
She's primarily an artist, she does sketches on commission, but you're saying that I shouldn't say the comic has bad art because that wasn't the focus?

they use an artist for the cover (most of the time is a high quality artist) and other for the inner work (always worse than the cover artists)

comics fans eat this shit and love it. Then they talk shit about manga not having quality because they can put color in their pages.

but to be fair, cape comics are the lowest common denominator for "western"comics. They are only a step higher than newspaper cartoons (and some of then are better).

the big names (Marvel, DC) do it for decades.

Their fans don't care, maybe because if you are accustomed to shit you will always like it no matter how they throw it at you.

jokes aside, what I like about western comics in general are they have a writer and an drawing artist. That way each one can focus in their work. Some good manga follows this, but most of the time is one man (and their assistants) job.

I find it taxing for one person to do the writing and the drawing.

Oh yeah, and don't make me talk about webcomics. They have the laziest faggots in this world. They make a M-W-F release schedule weekly for a month, then they go to a hiatus "to recover energy and strength". That manga of a tomboy girl doing cute things is made daily, five days a week and the author only takes a rest once a year.

I have to add: I have nothing against the model herself, the message of the campaign was pretty cool and maybe it was even a risky move (I doubt it), but vitiligo looks rather bizarre for many and giving encouragement to teens is great.

But the truth is that this shit is always very corporate and disingenuous and it has no intent to actually spread a good message, let alone redirect consumers' misguided and retarded reaction if they start obsessing over vitiligo as the ultimate special snowflakery badge.
