>>7153450Repostin' from prev.Two Elmer's, A Bob, and two other kids' I don't have names for. And a Kiwi.
>>7153450Went for a vintage poster look on this one
trying out colours
For an art trade
guy I drew in my work notebook
>>7153504this style is wonderful, keep it up
>>7153896Thank you so much! I’ve dabbled in a similar poster style before, however it was mostly art deco inspired. Pic Rel
>>7153895Cool use of shapes, he’s got a nice silhouette
In this thread I won't beg for blog links, as my numerous requests in the previous /alt/ have been ignored by artists whose work I really like That being said:>>7153454>>7153771Good shit.
>>7153450The last thread had so much cool art. /ALT/ really is back. Love the variety of styles and confidence ITT so far. I'm inspired to start sharing my work again. Been wanting a place to post without having to play the social media game.
>>7154711Thanks anon. I'm honestly just posting here for the moment.
>>7154850/ALT/ is peak comfy
Mermaidmaxxing+ back study. Feels juvenile to throw beads on my work, but I was inspired by a mangaka’s art
>>7154711oh.. sorry senpai it's an anon image board afterall, just wanted to share little doodles without the motive to promote socials :( but I really appreciate your comment in the previous thread!
>>7155490okay i typed "f a m" but it autochanged to senpai wtf
>>7155027Reminds me a bit of Egypt lol pretty good anon keep it up. Would recommend studying backs if you have extra time >picrel but out of curiosity which mangaka was it?
>>7153454Dondrrrr copy?
>>7155491"s m h" becomes desu and "s o y" becomes onions
>>7155494Thanks, anon!!! I was working off a ref, but it’s tricky to shade markers (but maybe this is a wakeup call for me to do more dedicated studies again). Also the artist was Naoko Takeuchi… nabbed her latest art book and really enjoyed how she threw beads and glitter on her work while making it look good!!!
>>7154873 so cool, I'd love to watch a show in this stylealso drew my friend's oc
and another one I don't plan on polishing
>>7156302Love this, great work
>>7156435
>>7156654Simple is better, thank you
I'm trying to get back into doing colored work, for a while lined and maybe greyscale shading are the most I did
Critique welcome and needed
dumbass stew
oops I uploaded the with the full resolution, here's cut down>>7157475i like these a lot anon!>>7156302This is seriously great, I want to be able to emulate something like that style in my own stuff>>7156291There something so simple yet complex in your colour choice and shading that I envy. Great job!
im trying to improve on my color choices and background workcritique welcome
>>7157730I think some bright highlights would help the depth of the picture
>>7157652>i like these a lot anon!another word and I kiss you
>>7153504Corporate memphis, also his fag/spliff looks bent
>>7154256Wow, keep it up and maybe you'll be advertising the latest globohomo agenda for facebook or google :)
>>7157959>>7157961Well as derided and overly exaggerated as it is now, at one point I appreciated the shape language of that style and at times it can still be fun. Thankfully I’ve got more ability than JUST that style, since I’m getting the impression that it’s not your respective cups of tea
>>7153459Thoughts? It's a redesign.
>>7155498Not really a copy of anything, but I did have TaffyToad's art somewhat in mind when drawing>>7156291>>7156302These are sick, that textured brush looks so cool. I humbly ask for a blog...>>7157730I think this low-contrast color palette is actually really pretty. But the other anon is right, it would probably have more depth with harsher highlights/shadows
>>7158796much more appealing, i think
Am I the only one who worst fear is not drawing "badly" but that his style is not recognizable?, like yeah someone can have bad anatomy but you can always say "o that guy did it">>7153454>>7153627>>7156302>>7157475>>7158771i like this ones, good job
>>7153450Anons, I draw goblins in this kind of style. I follow a couple of artists on Twitter, but I want more artists who have a similar style to mine to learn how they stylize things. Any recommendations would be great. I don't know where else to post(this is my shit).> goblins, long ears, or messy drawing style recommendations
>>7159830
>>7159832i like this alien chic, nice ass
>>7159832>>7159872he spun the head around too much
marcille fucking dies
cover painting
>>7160026the mismatched eyes are thowing me off, but otherwise looks nice anon
>>7160026>>7160086Make the red eye blue and blue eye red
Still a wip, but I'm making an oc. Just hoping she's not overdesigned.
idk>>7156291>>7156302>>7160026>>7160559very nice
>>7157630I really like this OC, I don't know why exactly. I kinda wanna draw her>>7160497solid pose dude, looks exaggerated yet believable>>7158864Ive always loved your art, love how that square pattern is your signature practice for body types, I felt like some of my ocs looked to similar so I started fucking with different shapes and builds
It's been a while since I posted my work here
>>7160559the only reason im redlining anything is because this is already rlly good so im nitpicking details i think the upper torso is a bit too long for her proportions, also a detail but the staff overlaps her ear creating a weird tangent so maybe u can move it a bit so it reads more clearly, otherwise this is already looking good
>>7162607Good advice, I'll implement this. Thanks for the redline, I appreciate it.
I don't find memes too appealing, but this one got me somehow, so I had to... you know
woflgirl or smth like that oc i've been working on
>>7159832neck is twisting in a weird way, if u move her head foward and rotate it a little its an easy fix, redline is self explainatory and u can do a much better job than me on the face, hope it helps.
>>7160559I really love your style, can you tell me which artists you studied from anon?
>>7163163Thanks anon. I was obsessed with Alessandro Barbucci and his work on Sky Doll specifically as a kid, so I think he's definitely my main inspiration.
>>7160559Very good. Damn I never open this general, good to know we're having really cool artists.
Cramming this on the same page as another drawing has made a giant>>7156291Likewise, I love this
art is beautiful, damn need to stop use 420 :DDD
>>7153450I like deftones
this angle is hard
>>7160559Wanted to try drawing her again in a more dynamic pose.>>7163640This is fucking rad. I love the hatching you've applied to the hair, it's very stylistcially appealing.
>>7163142very accurate anatomy, but I tried to make the changes, and it was a pain in the ass to correct that piece over a render. Thanks, anon.
>>7163640What software are you using, anon?
Really lovely and inspiring stuff in this entire thread.
>>7165061looks like a chubby jimmy mcgill
>>7165794cool!!
>>7163860>>7160559nose gang nose gang
Westfag hereI'm going to be honest, I regret not being into anime. I realized that westoid art is holding me back. All of my favorite artists on the internet are anime inspired but I was too dumb to notice it and try to emulate instead I was using western cartoons. In short, I want to become a weeb.Now obviously, studying and copying anime is a start, which I'm doing. However, I want to change my entire identity. I want to stop being a western cartoon autist and become an anime one. What are some good anime series and manga to get into as a complete adult novice?I posted in the asg thread but still
>>7166481watch frieren or delicious in dungeon. these are some recent anime with exceptional quality animation and good stories that anyone should be able to enjoy.
sketch wip
>>7166553noice
>>7165794https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/2564922https://baraag.net/@orenjipiiru:-) Herro lord Orenji sama. Are you here to post on 4chan now that daddy Elon kicked you off Twitter? <3
>>7157730Dunno. Theres this annoying white thing preventing me from appreciating her beautiful body. But if you insist....
>>7164673>>7159832Where can I masturbate to more of your work?
>>7159830This one too, plz
>>7160559You forgot something.
>>7166481I'd recommend reading more manga than watching anime (unless you want to get better at animation too) just because it's much more reliable to copy panels than frames, which obviously vary in quality. But I don't watch much anime so I might be a little bit biased. Stuff like One Punch Man, HxH and JoJo were my entry point into anything manga related, so I'd recommend them to you too, but also just look for stuff with an artstyle you like or a plot you find interesting.Regardless, for anime I think anything from Trigger/Gainax is super soulful and stylish. Yoh Yoshinari is awesome. Lots of 90's/early 2000's anime is super sick too; Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, and Akira, to name a few.
>>7167285I'm fucking dying. Saved forever.
>>7160497I'm back with more effort this time>>7163640You understand shapes in a way I envy
>>7166481I have 0 idea how it is to be there, but anime is quite simple, I think you'll get the hang of it in no time
>>7160999Thank you! And if you'd like!>>7163490>>7165989>>7167609Super cool art style
>>7153504Did this one awhile ago too
>>7167656Thanks buddy. Really liked your masked character myself, I saved her.
accidentally posted in another thread, but screw itbackground characters for an animated project
>>7166481There are otakus and weebs(tourists, the so called westoids). The stance on Loliand other japanese only stuff is what defines each. Westoids only corrupt
draw this elf >>7166626thanks
>>7153450is there an archived copy of the previous thread?
>>7168417check warosu
>>7158796
>>7168583Original drawing for comparison.
>>7166481Watch Perfect Blue and Ghost in the Shell
>>7166481I saw this a few days ago but really wanna ask, what exactly is fully attracting you to the style? To me it seems like an act of desperation for popularity, especially with the words you're using like> want to change my entire identity. I want to stop being a western cartoon autist and become an anime one.I'd say not to be ashamed of your love of western toons but to find that happy and loving medium between east and west like->Lupin The 3rd>Little Witch Academia>Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt>TrigunWhat I'm trying to say is, how volumetric shapes can turn certain cartoony designs into something appealing. Look at Japanese fanart of western cartoons and really study what works.
>>7169136You are correct but you're falling for bait
>>7166481Flcl is the peak anime that inspires artists and animators, also ping pong the animation, redline and dead leaves are some recs
when I want to integrate elements of certain art styles into my own, I draw stuff in that style to get a feel of the shapes
bit of a creative rut lately, but glad to see /alt/ flourishing
