What is /ALT/?
If you're looking for a place to post your cartooning then you've found the right general. This is /ic/s 1st and only merged hub where both Eastern and Western stylization can coexist peacefully, hence the double title.
>Rules & Guidelines
(1) Any form of cartooning is welcome; so submit and receive feedback from others. (2) Please resize your images before posting. (3) Share your knowledge and (4) Remember to not be afraid of asking for critique. Most importantly, keep discussion at a civil level.
>I came for anime. Why does the image OP say cartoons general?
To distinguish from the anime study thread (janitor supported). Please post your studies there and personal work goes here.

I've been struggling between doing illustrations and art for improvement and Animating. Lots of goals to check off.
>Perspective
>Color, Values, Light and etc
> Anatomy
>3d Modeling
The list is long but these are short term goals.


Anyone else have a checklist like this? Would love to hear the goals of other artist.

I haven't gone out of my way to write down a personal list, but settling on a rendering style that I'm confident in is definitely at the top of mine. That and getting confident with mecha.
>>
>>7068929
I think a big thing that'll help you is grounding characters, especially if there are multiple ones.
Think of it as a diorama. some gacha character art does this very well. a simple cast shadow on an invisible floor.
Think about how the drawing fits on a frame as well

I have a checklist but they are usually way more specific.
Currently I have
>rendering metals
>rendering shiny non-reflective surfaces
>combining my 2 different art styles/processes into 1 more cohesive one that keeps the energy and shapes of 1 and the fun of the other
>try different resolutions for a different effect
>sprite art & animations
>how to model and what to focus on modelling when turning 3D assets into 2D sprites through a shader

>cool but odd-fitting shapes
>glove poke fold
>finger contour is drawn as if they are bundled together
>theme inconsistent
>slayers hair overflow
>nude body under metal armor (going to cause massive chaffing and irritation)
>random ass necklace (or gem socketed in the armor, cant tell) above the armor instead of beneath it
Could be a "style" choices, but there are too many inconsistencies. is this traced over AI art?
I do like wackier styles that don't adhere to limitations (especially asymmetrical) but I think if you work on your design logic/consistency you'd skyrocket immensely I think.

No lol, it's all me. It's actually still a wip, so the lineweights and design aren't completed, but it's inspired by media of my childhood, so Escaflowne and Record of Lodoss War. I really love the complete nonfunctionality of the Nobuteru Yuki's assymetrical designs.

Funny you should mention Slayers though, somebody else made that comparison, but I've never seen it.

>No lol, it's all me.
It wasn't meant as a jab or anything. Just that I got that vibe (for better or worse) from it.
>but I've never seen it.
It's mostly the hair having extra mass on the forehead that creates the "plume" or bangs near the forehead or w/e you call it which reminded me of retro anime drawings.
> I really love the complete nonfunctionality of the Nobuteru Yuki's assymetrical designs.
His work isn't non functional I think, I mean, it's fantasy armor, but he goes into great depth to make sure it's somewhat fitting/clicks

I love record of lodoss war too, but never knew the artist, so now I finally know.
Maybe I'll study some 90s retro anime stuff later this month

Good luck with the drawing, curious to see what you'll do with it

>>
>>7080468
Read Kengan Omega’s last ten or so chapters, it should help make sense.
There is also George Bridgman’s seven laws of folds and Burns Hogarth has a pretty good book on drapery too, it’s much broader in its approach and gives you a lot of examples to study.
A simple rule is instead of lines and creases you should identify the tension points and imagine the folds as force lines emanating from that particular point and folding over whatever fabric and around form it is wrapping.
For example rather than drawing creases on the shirt, you identify the armpit as the origin and radiate folds accordingly, it is also helpful for imagination drawing/painting

Just draw a fake ground plane/grid to have a general idea and project upwards. You can lower the opacity and draw on another layer.
Draw cylinders for the legs and foreshorten accordingly, Krenz Cushart has some good lessons on that.

>might be wasted on a /beg/ like me though
respectfully, stop with the self-deprecation. it's not gonna do you any favors. you're not good, you need to practice to get good, so it doesn't matter whether you're practicing on printer paper or something a little more expensive. if you have the money and want to get it, just do it.
>idk what I'd even draw in it
maybe the same sort of stuff you drew on the printer paper you had? why would it necessarily need to be any different from or more important/meaningful than what you've drawn up until this point? draw what you want, practice what you want, use whatever mediums you want.

>I wanna go drop $15 on my first sketchbook after a year of printer paper.
15$ is nothing, go for it. having some nice paper & sketchbook is nice.
The way I approach it is that I keep on the look out for interesting sketchbooks, like weird bindings when I am on holiday or funny covers and buy them. now I've got a collection of moleskins and some weird ones jumbled in there for good measure.
>idk what i even draw in it
everything, be inspired by everything. see things not as boring objects but as interesting shapes of light and shadow and contrast and form.
if you want to draw from imagination but don't know what to draw, draw a guy with sword or a guy with stick, go to pinterest and grab some of your favorite video game or movie archetypes and be inspired by how they look like to build your visual library
study stills from movies you like
whatever you do besides being inspired, do not be negatively avoiding things like hands/feet/grounding characters, instead rise up to the challenge and enjoy the struggle to what extent you can manage.

also if you feel like you got a good drawing down and get let down by your next few drawings know that that feeling will never go away. some people have a new best piece and then not a single better one for weeks, months or even years (if ever).

Guys, is there basically a "guide" on how to use programs like clip studio paint to organize layers and stuff? I can get my sketches and lineart down, but then I get totally stuck and don't know how to actually use the program to turn my art into something digital that looks good.

I really like the pose and design but she's kinda falling forward, other than that this looks good. I'm not that good at redlining but i tried, it's usually helpful to drop a pin from the collarbone to about the middle of the feet though this doesn't always apply, for static poses like this it works. I tried a couple of ways to balance her out, mostly by shifting the weight in the hips and how the legs would rest consequently.
I'd recommend you start by boxing your character in as it simplifies the perspective and finding where the feet will point.

i see your point, i actually designed the head on a whim and then got carried away with the body without checking it so it makes sense lol, i tried to keep the design but fit the character, i think it looks better overall
>>
>>7113227
Actually I think it looks a lot better with color. The spots that were previously distracting are now more subtle because of the other spots of contrast attract the viewer's attention. As for the color scheme I like left because it has that higher contrast in colors but right is pretty good too.

Not sure if this is the right thread to post this but whatever. Overhauling one of my oldest characters, was a Zelda rp character I made when I was fifteen. He was a lot more edgy back then.

this is looking good already, i have a suggestion on the left hand to make the silhouette read and flow better. also tried to outline the muscles on the right side since i noticed the countour is actually perfect but the muscles you outlined seemed a bit off, as if they were seen from a bit more to the side rather than almost from the front like the pose suggests, hope this helps.

Great shape language as always! The bicep and upper arm on our left is facing the wrong direction, and another small gripe is the FORCE of the feet not really selling the whole “wearing armour” thing.

As for the face, I love asymmetry, but perhaps the eye is drifting off towards the ear? I made a change that’s not necessarily a correction, but a direction I would personally go in with what you’ve inferred with the rest of the head and facial features.

Don't know if you're still there anon but there should be plenty of yt tutorials on layers/blending modes/filters and whatnot. You could also check csp's user guide for specifics. In all honesty though I don't really use anything more complicated than clipping masks and custom brush settings, you don't really need any of that fancy stuff to make your art look good. All you need is good old-fashioned fundamentals.

Feels weird posting these on /trad/, not sure if they're better suited to here or if it doesn't matter. Anyways, I'm a big fan of these postcard sized panels. Very relaxing and fast to get something out on. Top left and bottom right are also studies.

there's so much stuff i want to get better at that i lose focus constantly, but currently i'm trying to force myself on
>perspective, especially exaggerated angles
>dynamic poses
>anatomy

it's actually really nice that you asked this question, because it's made me realize i've kinda been going on autopilot the entire year and just drawing the same shit i already know how to do

Don’t worry about it. Just focus on getting good and drawing what you like.

yeah its soulless ridged drivel. I don't really draw anymore so I'm just getting worse every year. Not too worried about it though, maybe ill pick up drawing again in a few years when I have more free time.

can't say if the webtoon audience would like it but I think it's pretty neat

dunno why I read webcomic as webtoon, but either way most webcomics I've in general have such a diverse range of styles that yours would definitely be fine

>I don't really draw anymore
