Help me figure out this style where the line weight doesn't change. Post more examples / tips on how to do it right.
>>7782435>can't draw absolutely perfectly uniform lines to the atomic level 100% of the time regardless of paper quality, tool quality, air humidity, in an earthquake, like a real pro artistNever gonna make it. It's best if you give up now.
>>7782022>>7782031>Ligne claire (French: [liɲ(ə) klɛːʁ]; Dutch: klare lijn [ˈklaːrə ˈlɛin]; both meaning "clear line") is a style of drawing created and pioneered by Hergé, the Belgian cartoonist and creator of The Adventures of Tintin. It uses clear strong lines sometimes of varied width and no hatching, while contrast is downplayed as well.The image on the wiki page has tons of variation, clear line not "one-weight line." Mignola is the only good example so far but that's balanced out by massive use of blacks in inking and his style.>>7782048There's line weight variation all over that image. Actual monoweight illustrations look very boring unless the artist is oozing with appeal. Usually it only works for anime girl or cutesy "comfy" tumblr type art. It ends up looking like stock commercial clip art made in a vector program being overly stiff since even the best use of interrupted lines is carefully planned out.If you don't have a good or distinctive drawing style, removing line weight is going to hold you back and stunt your fundamental development>>7782066Another scanned image from paper with tons of line weight in the original, would've been more soulful if it were full grayscale and not the b&w for an art book
>>7782431If you're looking at a potential piece for studying wondering "what can I learn from this?" then now's not the time to do a study. Studies are for when there's something specific that you know you want to learn from a drawing. Not something broad like "I want to learn their linework", go in with something very specific you're hoping to come out with. "Those lines that seem thickest in the middle and thinner on their extremities seem neat, I'll do a study of this and try to get them to look nice like theirs" is more like how you should be approaching studies. That's how you actually learn from studies. If you don't know what you're trying to get from a study, then don't. Go make some of your own work until you find something specific you want to learn from a study.
>>7782438By corners I mean where lines intersect. They get thicker there due to ink being absorbed by the paper, its a good effect that I'm trying to replicate on digital.
>>7781801Low mental resolution post
made this at a Con. Feedback would be appreciatedReferenced from an american psycho frame (i know im retarded don’t point that out)
looks alrighty, no need to ask on here for advice or critique, because it's above most of the anons skill level (mine included). i also like to draw from movie stills, because they have that certain drama lighting depending on the film.
>>7781247post the still you worked fromit has very good value read as "a face" and would be considered a good sketch without knowing who your ref was, but it has poor likeness to bateman/christian baledesu part of why i hate doing portraits of celebrities is it restricts my ability to make decisions about the reference im working off of, since it will be judged more by its likeness above anything else. is what it is.
>>7781768>but it has poor likeness to bateman/christian baleyou're insane, you can tell from the thumbnail
>>7781247woah that's crazy. This originally looked like an emo toon with his mouth open, until I rotated by head to read the text and it morphed into Bateman. I will never see the emo toon again...
...if your spouse threw out all your sketchbooks?
>filthy retarded fag neglected his "precious" artwork till its infested with fucking MOLD then seethes when dutiful wife follow his orders to throw the moldy books away then blasts his relationshit problems on the internet >retards thread lays blame on soley on the woman for making the mistake instead of faggot Typical semenoid only giving a fuck once his good thing is gone.

I need as many guides as possible for drawing large Boobs that look like this.
>>7782071would be retarded unless they throw in his sketches and name it "tutorial"
>>7782071Not everything is leaked on kemono. Perhaps it misses the other tutorials. Unfortunate, because his attainments about drawing big boobs/big butts/obese girl is really high. Much higher than the other tutorials I found on ex.
>>7782122in due time
>>7782071I saw them before on his pixivFANBOX page, if thats what you are looking for. It may be only available if you pay for a higher tier though. I came across them once.He's one of my favorites.
I've been drawing stupid characters for a little while now, but I've just very recently gotten serious about my art and just started making comics which I'd always wanted to do. I mean literally just started yesterday. I'm having a lot of fun but I really just don't have anyone to share or discuss with. I can post a few things online for the masses but that's barely helpful as far as growth. I'd really like to meet some people personally who wouldn't mind taking a look at my stuff and giving me critiques and advice. Or just thoughts about my writing. Anything would honestly be helpful.You could add me on discord or just yell at me in this thread I dunno. My disc is "Chrelm2"
>>7781293No it was good enough the first time
>>7781224>i want friends>decides to alienate a chunk of the people that would want to be his friendsbased retard
I am also making a comic, but I am shitty at drawing so I am trying to learn how. I have a friend helping me but he's slowI am way better at writing kino than drawing kino

Does anyone have any advice on shading with pencil/graphite?Every time I try to shade anything darker than a 2H it gets super "spotty" (like the cloth in the red circle) I've tried a number of things like pencil stubs, fingers to smudge or sharpening the pencil to more of a point but nothing seems to really work

ITT: We post artists we're currently obsessed with.I'm in LOVE with Hirofumi Nakamura's work. I love the "marker"-like coloring and the very shoujo specks of white highlight he uses.
>>7779687How was lightbox? I'm stuck in leafland and was debating going this year but didn't pull the trigger.Going through a trad art program right now for figures and portraits so I'm looking at a lot of old illustrators like Leyendecker and Cornwell but I want some anons to know about Mark Boedges. IMO he's probably the closest living painter to Richard Schmid and definutely up there with guys like Mian Situ and zhaoming wu in terms of colour.
>>7779705very nice anon, never heard of him

>>7779705Yes, he is very Schmidesque, in a good and in a bad way.
it's the most important part

Whats the fastest way to keep consistent sprite scale across multiple sprites and backgrounds?

>>7767768I100% he does actual drawings outside of what he posts here. If we had an even more schizo anon who saved quite literally every single image here over the years, we could deduce it.

I finally got how Krita comfyui plugin works and its FUNN.
I really do like these threadsIt's nice seeing /ic/ also embrace new AI artists
>>7780144Alright anon. Now all you have to do is finish it by drawing over it and then not tell anyone that you used AIslop.
>>7779729>>7779718QRD?
>>7780522Why would I bother, lying is lame and gay.I might redraw something if it looks fun to draw, AI or not, but I'm not gonna pretend I came up with all of it.Also I don't like tracing (doing it, I don't mind if others do it).
>I swear this OP wants to be like Soda when it comes bumping their own thread from dying, like the fag they're truly are
