I'm dogshit at composition and wanted to try out thumbnailing first instead of rushing in, which composition looks more interesting? Of the 2 how would you improve it?
>>7225691neat>>7225694eye catching
>>7227396Thank you! >>7227356I prefer the first one, as far as improving them I’d say even just increasing the amount of negative space at the top would help it breathe a little better
i could have definitely done better on the hatching but i'm too lazy to fix it>>7225645i was trying to show the soul leaving her body, but i've changed it now since it didn't properly convey that she was scared>>7226530i really love the stylization of the shapes in the figure, super awesome
>>7227663ty anon, how's this looking?Also I really like your use of shapes
Some of my artfight stuff
>>7157588No one replied to this harley drawing in the previous thread, anon if you're reading this, the reason is because your style feels very complete. Can't really find any fault on it. I would say just continue to draw and polish and work on different poses other than head on but really if head on is your aim then you succeeded.
>>7157588It's cute but the pose feels too stiff. Shoulders and arm positions are too parallel to the frame. Add some contraposto and maybe bring the arm out to break up the lines. Also a head tilt wouldn't hurt
>>7228853Thank you! And I’d say that’s an improvement, looking much better!

Working on "APPEAL" (As a whole, since I REALLY SUCK ASS at it...)So if you could just each draft here from 1-5 in terms of appeal that would be really helpful!I'm having truble judging the appeal myself, so I have no idea if I've really improved>>7227663This is real nice! The colors are super relaxing>>7228882This has so much atmosphere>>7235998Cute>>7228853I feel like your drawing doesn't really have any focus of what you want it to feel like exactly.For example, one mountain looks creepy (left) one mountain looks soft and nice (right)In terms of comp I feel like you don't understand how to lead eyes across a page (I know it's really challenging dw)I did a lil redline I guess, if you wanna see it: https://files.catbox.moe/i3z24f.pngI added a moved the foot more towards the viewer for depth, and added a foreground element.Your style is really cool btw! Keep it up lad
>>7237206I yeah, just rate each draft as a whole, that's what I mean
>>7237206Anon, I'm gonna kiss you irlThank you so much, this was an improvement I completely forgot foreground elements can be a thing I can use and the scene has a lot more depth. Good thing I saw this before I started drawing out the background elements

>>72412125 on a good day. But honestly it's not one of my strong suits, and often I just settle for simple lineart and cel shading
>>7244040you're finally here! i've been seeing you in /draw/love your stuff>>7244349 everything about this is so cool
>>7244040Hey do you have more artwork or somewhere where we can follow you? I love your drawings and just want to support you

>>7244040Cool, I added you over on x/twitter. Do you mind if I colour in some of your lineart?
By refusing to learn anatomy or use reference, I guess I can just call it "stylization"Sounds better than calling myself lazy.

>>7252863blogu?
nice thread so far>>7239664>>7244040>>7252863awesome
>>7227356Probably left because it centers my eyes towards the character more and feels more centralized overall. It does feel like there's a bit too much going on though. Maybe make it a bit smaller?
finally a good fucking thread
>>7252863Since you wont share blog give me at least a name to slap on the folder where I've been saving your work.
Could someone could give me a feedback about this WIP?
>>7255739The fingers of his right hand are all weirdly proportioned; his index finger is really long while his pinky is really short. His left hand's thumb also seems like it's way too far to the left. Try holding your hand in that position and you'll see how uncomfortable it is. It and the palm should also be slightly facing inwards. I think it would look more interesting if it were in a pose like picrel as well, so that some of the fingers don't get awkwardly blocked by the ones in front.It looks like you're still working on your rendering so I don't think that I can critique it (not that I have much expertise in it anyways), but don't forget to depict all the bounce light coming from the hands and the book.
>>7255896Thank you very much, anon. I really appreciate
been getting back into Half Life recently
>>7256478
>>7250408Thank you my friend! I was trying to mimic the style of American Sk8Land specifically. At least in the way they rendered assets in that game.
>>7255739You need to adjust the values. The book is hard to see in the thumbnail because even though the part we see is facing away from the light, it's brighter than his torso. My "fix" isn't great because I didn't want to stray too far from what you've established, but at the least I wanted to see if I could bring the book forward in space by making it darker. Still horribly amateurish at actually utilizing values so take what I say lightly.
My soul got drained from this one
>>7255102nice linework anonthe arms seem way too long though and her left one in particular looks like it has a second elbow joint
sketch to keep the thread alive>>7253030ty! It was a whole lot of fun to work on it, definitely one of the pieces I'm most proud of
>>7259221Hot lil lady>>7259322Dopeness, I wish I could do more varied poses like the one on the left
>>7256676adjusted it a bitbut i still need a lot more practice with hands

>>7256478redesign the facial hair if you revisit this: it doesn't read well as hair and he looks like he has a literal "shit-eating grin"use action hank as ref, since it shows exactly how genndy approached this in dexter's lab using his very shape-dominant style (the episode is from his older work and his style has evolved, but it could still work for you)obviously, the shape of the jaw is different, but it's a good place to startyou did great on the suit btw

>>7296313This is absolutely fucking beautiful anon.
Hello, /alt/. I'd like your knowledge on Western cartooning. I'm not anti-anime, but I'd like to know tips in Western stylization so that a person looking at my art doesn't think "oh, like anime" but maybe that's unavoidable. I looked into early American illustrators and happy with what I found but I'd like to expand my knowledge to things I may have not considered.
>>7301343Depends there’s realism or the utilization of shapes. When you look at every western animated movie, you will notice one thing and it’s how each of the characters are shaped. Look up samurai jack
>>7301343Mignola is really the only example of western stylization that I like (but also the only one I'm most familiar with)
>>7305833AWESOME and checked.
had to take a break cuz my back is killing me.Pic is going to be in very heavy armor from the waist up, below that is tight shorts and shinboots.Focus on the meaty thighs so I'm trying to get the skindentation downIDK if the perspective works, the tracks are meant to be curved (like in the area I'm referencing) but I get the feeling it's throwing the perspective/visuals outta whack, idk>>7296594I'm really liking those shapes GJ anon>>7301686Your forms need work, it's very "symbol" but I'll also say that's a very difficult angle to pull off>>7291542First thing that jumps at me is proportions. Usually ikemen like (I presume) he's supposed to be have more of a 7.5-8 head-tall proportion>>7268975cute comic, great expressions, really love it>>7259322inspo

wip. need to redraw the arm. it got ffucked.
>>7326275the ass freckles look like pockmarks. unless they are supposed to be those
>>7326306yeah they're supposed to be freckles, i just got a little sloppy with them
>>7296313Nice
how it this looking? mostly looking for feedback on the colors and if everything reads correctly.
>>7327137the blues in the background should be closer in color. right now the contrast distracts a lot from the girl on the right. you could probably keep the brighter blue around her head though. looks great btw
>>7327142i changed a few things that i don't like right now like the saturation in some parts but tried what you said and i think it reads more clearly now, sometimes i forget others can give real advice on this board
>>7327542got a twitter im loving your work here
finished it>>7327970ty and yeah https://x.com/martinmp77
>>7328430really really cool anon
>>7328430followed. cool stuff my dude.
>>7331105>>7328658>>7327542based
I feel like I could still fuck with the proportions here, will probably redraw these two soon
>>7328430>>7328658very nice
>>7336210This is hard as fuck, I’d love to see a cartoon with this style. Very Ed Edd and eddy like as well
>>7336215
>>7291542Your lines and values are great, and as is the way you draw clothing, but it’s just flat I feel. Like the clothes have good lines, but the forms aren’t wrapping *around* the volume of his legs, more on top of them. Shoes have a similar problem, as they look very shoe like (great job on the shapes) but the tongue, the front of the shoes, and the laces, all flat. Ribs are kinda long, with not enough room for the abdominal area between his pelvis and ribs, making his legs look really long. Girls on the right look good, just make sure to add the philtrum between the lips and nose and to give the hair more form. Try to draw from life to solidify your understanding of forms so drawing forms and shapes is easier
>>7336216Nice of you to say, anon. I'm a big Antonucci fan.
>>7336304the goat is back to bless this thread

Wanted to design a flesh robot. Ended up kinda creating a shark girl.
>>7336304I love how dude’s head on top left corner resembles a speech corner. Great shape language. You really “get” how to mimic the style; and in a highly appealing way at that.
>>7341099Bubble* wtf?
Sucks bad
not sure if this is the right thread for pixel art, but. wanted opinions on a silly little sprite i was doing of my friend's ttrpg characterdoes the hair look okay for the side pose? im pretty happy with front facing but struggle with the sideignore the dress, haven't tweaked it from a previous sprite i did
>>7341099thank you anon>>7346472I think it's basically fine. That "hump" of hair in the side view, midway down the back, sticks out to me somewhat. I guess it's supposed to be wavy hair, so I'm not going to say it's a problem, just something I noticed.
>>7347539little overworked
Frieren redraw
Im currently practising proportions a lot. My goal is to create "handsome" or "serious" characters under the natural 7'5/8'5 head proportions. Those are some studies on how to portray tall (6heads) and short (5 heads) humans in the same reality. After some tries, that is the current better ideas i have: tall persons have the same head size as small, but in proportion to their own chest their legs and arms are longer. women have also the legs taller than their male counterparts, thus having a smaller torso and a higher crotch.Am I overthinking all this shit?cont.>>7341917anon i like this one very much. Kept.
>>7348707fuck the image was horizontal in my drive, wtf. My camera is literally broken but you can see the concept
some comparison of a 5 head guy with a troll (four heads itself, but bigger head lol). The troll is copied from simon the sorcerer. I want to contrast humans and monsters in their body phisionomy
>>7348718This one is a bigger troll. To make it imposing without using the same proporitons of a strong male hero, I increased the torso and arms vs legs, put more emphasis on the neck and also crazy forearmsIm a complete noob and im not sure if im explaining myself well about my intentions, but I feel im putting some pieces together in my mind by doing this
