Sup guys i habe no idea how to paint, so ive resorted to cell shading.

any advice?

WIP btw
>>
>>2454411
>resorted
you don't resort to cel shading. Its a stylistic choice that you can use once you understand lighting and forms.
You're just a baka.

Learn lighting and forms faggot. Putting random squares of darkness is not "cel shading" its not knowing how lighting or forms work.

When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.

of course i know i need to learn more. give me some specific advice regarding the drawing im making is what im asking for

i already know im a beginner terrible fag
>>
>>2454430
lllliiikkkeeeee???
>>
>>2454432
What I told you was not "learn math" I told you "learn geometry"
meaning go buy a fucking geometry book and read it. you need to understand it all from scratch not be told what to do.
also your entire figure looks retarded and needs loomis, so get that book too while you're at it.

stop being a faggot and read the damn books and draw the damn cubes.

fuck off until you read them.

I thought you were just asking for general advice. lol
>then give me some advice

Looking into edge control should help with the painting side of things. Honestly you have to learn how form interacts with light before you can make stylistic choices like cel shading. Ctrl Paint would be a nice starting point for basic fundamentals like that.
>>
>>2454444
nice quads. It's a shame your thick in the skull. see somthing you want to emulate and learn how they do it. try to integrate that into how you paint. you said "I dont know how to paint, ill just do cell shading" when you should have said "I dont know how to paint, so what steps do I need to take to learn how to?"

>>
>>2455757
Try to keep a midline in mind when drawing the face. Some of the features are skewing to the left and right. Also, eyes tend to be one eye's width apart. They're too close in the image.
Try to think of composing the image with value, too. Well known paintings typically have 3-4 value ranges. Look up Harold Speed for more info on that.
Hope this helps.
>>
>>2455826
let your dick be your guide
>>
>>2455826
Not that anon, but it all has to do with the proportion of certain features and their relationship with each other. Things are typically broken down into thirds and repeating shapes are supposed to be appealing. I think there's a post about it on babelab.

The collar should be a bit more open, it's not symmetrical at all(not that it needs to be, but it's pretty misplaced here.)

The arm is kinda fucked up, needs to be further and pointing a tiny bit more to his left.

A lot of people seem to like my style. Every time I post stuff outside of /ic/, it's the first thing people compliment. Precicely because it's a manga-inspired western style. They also like the way I draw eyes. Not saying I can't improve it, but it's an observation.

Don't be so stupid, it genuinely looks like shit.
>>
>>2458455
I don't go to deviant art, just talking about people whom I've shown it to irl, drawthreads, and other boards where I've posted my art.

>you'll be complimented for turds
That's cool dude. I'm not gonna change my art style to please one dude on /ic/ with a stick up his butt. If my art style draws attention and people are inclined to read my stuff, then that's good enough. I'm gonna go through with what I think is right, and if I change my vision in style in future projects, then I'll do that.

If you don't like it, that's cool man. But I like it, and that's what matters most. Style is subjective, but I'm going to be drawing what I personally like when it comes to personal projects. Not some pretentious bs, or strict rules made by hipsters on /ic/.

>you have to draw like this
No, not when it comes to style. As my style matures it'll change, but I'm not gonna stress out about it desu.

The problem is that most of those Anime inspired western drawfags like you just doesn't understand all the subtility of the Anime style, and add some random semi realistic features over what you think it is limited to like the big eyes.

Style isn't just subjective, Anime style looks good for reasons.

And to be honest, that's not even the main problem here, let's just ignore the faces for a moment. You try to go with thin lines but too many stuffs are wrong, and the coloring is cheap and random. You tried to go for a complex hairstyle for the red colored girl but you clearly don't understand well yet how hairs works.
Good render even for simpler drawings is part of art too also.
>>
>>2458492

>strict rules made by hipsters on /ic/
>pretentious bs

none of those guys, but get your head outta your ass. You can't just throw fundamentals out the window because of "muh style".
It really does look shit.

If you can't take criticism, leave.

No anon, style is subjective, and you yourself don't understand what style is supposed to be by grouping it as a genetic "anime style."

Anime style isn't a thing. Is it Toriyama? Oda? Kishimotto? Oh Great? Muria? Ishiwatari? Shaft? Manglobe? Ghibli? An artists style is their signature, and it's entirely derrived by their personal tastes in other artists.

My own style is influenced by Ishiwatari, Kubo, and Kamitani, with some western influences.

This particular project takes from its inspirations: Bakemonogatari, and Bleach, while still adhering to my style. However, the cell shading is done for ease of labor when coloring, as well as visual style. Yeah, I can render, but I'm not gonna be rendering 100+ panels per chapter.

>the subtleties of anime style
What is this supposed to even mean?

What subtleties? You're taking a variety of different styles pioneered by hundreds of different artists and grouping them together as one and assuming they all draw the same.

Hell, dozens of Japanese artists are heavily inspired by Western artists like Disney and such (hell, anime started off by ripping from French animation and Disney). Look at Oda for example, who has very evident western simplicity to his style.

>but you're just adding random features. No anon. I'm picking features based on what I feel is most appealing and again, drawing from the artists I, mainly Ishiwatari and Kubo.

>but you don't just blend western and eastern styles
On the contrary anon, look at Boondocks, Avatar, Teen Titans, etc... typically overcoming cultural boundaries and blending styles can result in.very appealing success. Japan and the West have been borrowing from each other since forever.

>but I don't like it
And that's cool anon. Style is subjective. You probably don't like Ishiwatari and Kubo either, and that's fine. You don't have to like it.

But really listen to what you're saying. You're criticizing someone's art style in an objective manner, making an ass outta yourself
>>
>>2458553
>fundamentals

They're critiquing style anon. Saying the artstyle sucks. Not the fundamentals. Maybe read the posts next time.

This isn't "muh style."

This is them saying, "your style sucks." And me replying, "that's cool if you don't like it, but style is entirely subjective."
>>
>>2458418
Nice, but don't be afraid to use more confident shadow shapes. You have only a couple of darks where the armour overlaps,and those should actually be really dark in the occlusion shadow parts. It looks good, but shadows are needed to pop the form, especially on something as reflective as armour, even if it's a dull iron kind.

Feel free to critique whatever you like, but critiquing style on the grounds that, "I don't like it" is fucking retarded.
>>
>>2458583

Well, let me correct myself then. Your style looks like shit because you're lacking fundamentals and try to blame it on your style.

Just leave this board already.
>>
>>2458613
Feel free to critique the mistakes rather than saying "the style sucks because you're blending eastern and western styles." And next time don't backtrack when you get called out on your bullshit.

I'm more than open toward being told what I'm doing wrong, but telling someone, "it sucks cause I don't like it" is no way to critique someone.

>>
>>2458619
First of all, those faces are really poorly drawn. The artist who drew that doesn't understand that he needs to draw the underside of the jaw at certain angles. It's a common problem a lot of anime artists have.
Furthermore, the style is completely different from your. The characters in that picture have long, pointy chins. Your character has virtually no chin, and the end point of the jaw is far too high up, meaning the jaw would rotate around the level of her eye.

If you want to fix it, just move the entire line that makes up the jaw and chin down a little bit.
>>
>>2458620
I'm not using "muh style" to defend shit. YOU brought up the style as a means of "critique"

If you wanna give qenuine critique, feel more than free to do so. If not, you can kindly fuck off somewhere else.

hey, i think that when people here say "your style is ugly," what they're really saying is that your style and designs lack any real appeal. it's something that's fairly common with people jumping into an anime style because they don't really understand what goes into it. you even admitted that you don't necessarily understand the subtleties of some japanese artist's styles, so it try and look at your favourite artists' work and deconstruct what makes them work well.

the problem i see here is that there are a lot of details that don't add anything to your drawings. the hair and clothing folds especially are just extremely busy and distracting. when people see japanese art, something that often stands out is the amount of detail that the artists use, but the artists always have reasons for the lines they put down, they're always deliberate. look at ishiwatari's work and see how few lines he uses for his character's clothing and hair. even in kamitani's beautifully detailed paintings he puts down just what's necessary to sell the design.

look at your designs and see where things could be cleaned up and simplified into recognizable shapes. that isn't to say that you have to get rid of all the details or anything, look at kaoru mori's art from a bride's story: amazingly detailed clothing designs, but very simple and easy to read shapes on the surface.

you have your style and that's great, like you said, everyone has one and it acts like their signature in most cases, but design fundamentals and appeal are universal qualities that great artists share

dude since you dont seem to care about it being physically fucking correct, let me say this: it's fucking ugly. faces that short look wrong. you're on a critique board, either take the advice or shut up and quit asking/arguing/whining
>>
>>2458708
>lines up perfectly
it doesn't, his jaw is thinner and appears from an upward angle. Yours is front-facing with a wider jaw so the chin does look too high up in comparison to the width of the jaw.
>>
>>2458709
This is good critique. I'll screencap this to further it. In fact, I very much agree. One of my main beefs with the way I drew the MC was that I found him a bit boring. It's more to do with design than style, but I agree 100% and it's the sort of critique I was hoping to get. Since design is something I'm looking to improve.

Thanks a million anon. 10/10 post. You were very helpful.

I'll look more carefully at the styles of the artists I like, and draw some studies from their works and start applying that to my work.

I'll also use references more often for hair and folds.

ishiwataris face is facing down while yours is a front on with the same jaw
>>
>>2458691
Jesus Christ.

First of all, the picture you're comparing yours to is poorly drawn.
Second, that face is at a completely different angle. Yours is from the front, the other one is from above and slightly to the side. When a face is at a downward angle, the lower portion of the face looks smaller. In addition to that, the jawline moves further up.
You should be able to tell from your overlap that the parts don't match. Your characters jaw lines up with the other character's cheek.
