What are some artists with this type of style for women? book recommendations or whatever for learning similar styles. things to look at for inspiration.Also is it me or her chest, neck, and arms could be made slimmer for a more feminine look? I do like how the artist did the lower torso and lower body; I especially like that legs look of like they are about to pop. the head seems good.
That's 1950s/60s style of cartooning. If you look for cartoons from that era you should find a lot of artists that drew in a similar way.
I was going to call it "boomer babes" or something but, well, it's not literally not. More of a mid-century thing, the parents and grandparents of boomers. Erich Sokol is an example. Just look up the classic playboy artists. You can probably even find compilations of their work in the art section at your central local library.
>>7889581i like the artwork, makes the girls cute. Is the joke that girls don't wanna work?
>>7889585I feel like the "joke" in most of these is just "girl sexy haha"
>>7889582Yes, I seen the playboy's ones from the 90's even rip off like 2 of them, I guess I'll try the library.
>>7889579Guillermo Divito
I call it the Sunny Miami
>>7889596Good stuff, now I need to find some Rico Tipo scans.>>7889599She looks good with tanning.
>>7889586>"girl sexy haha"its doing funny things to me alright
>>7889579I hate when they draw the woman somewhat realistically, and make them quite attractive - meanwhile the men are disgusting cartoonish blobs.It just feels so inconsistent, like they're two completely different art styles that clash, but I'm supposed to ignore because 'girl hot'.The man's head (on that cover) looks like it should belong to a child character. >What are some artists with this type of style for women?Anyway, to answer your question, there's Dan Decarlo (picrel), the dude who gave the Archie comics that particular look.>>7889582>Just look up the classic playboy artists.Honestly, they're probably some of my biggest inspirations. I really would be one of those guys who'd buy playboy for the articles, back in the day.>>7889586>I feel like the "joke" in most of these is just "girl sexy haha"Do you need another joke, when you're already telling the best one?
>>7889586Girl sexy AND I hate my wife in one comic is peak boomer.
>>7889776Boomers are based huh
>>7889579I kinda wish American illustrators return to this style instead of aping Japanese manga. Idk man
>>7889900Look what they did with our boy Kricfalusi, nah that ain't gonna happen any time soon.
>>7889579Bruce Timm for sure
its so surreal how most of the jokes are "I hate my wife" like getting married is just something you fall upwards into. Today marriage is dead and its harder to convince a 2026 woman to date you than it is to learn how to draw.
>>7889607
>>7890271>generations of people complaining about how marriage sucks>2026>people don't want to marryWho could have seen this coming
>>7890271A lot of people from older generations REALLY did not want to be married in the first place, but felt like they had to because of social pressure, parental issues, or in order to escape capitalism-induced poverty. But thanks to poorer living standards when compared to today, they didn't always get marriage partners that were kinder to them than their own parents were. And that's not even mentioning how prostitution/cheating is seen as extremely taboo in America because America can't distinguish between romance and sex in a relationship (whereas most other countries place more shame on emotional affairs over the sexual affair itself).That's why so many old boomer comics are just "I hate my wife". >got married even though they didn't really want to>got married to a woman they weren't attracted to or in love with
>>7890396now we have worse capitalism induced poverty AND no marriage.
>>7890387it just sucks even more now. its just not funny anymore
>>7890426And soon we won't even have 'I hate my wife' humour. Truly, there's nothing to live for.
>>7889582They're called the Greatest Generation (and justifiably so)The only thing they sucked at was raising good kids
>>7889582>>7889596>>7889599>>7889607Why do cartoonist and manga artists seem to hate noses so much?
>>7891094It's the least important facial feature visually, and it's easy to suggest it very minimally in abstract and cartoon art for effect, if needed (nostrils widening, line for the bridge, shadow for the lower plane, etc.). You would notice the lack of one on a real person, but in terms of symbolically conveying the idea of a face, the nose is not that important. And so a lot of times cartoonists are happy to get rid of it, for the sake of the design.
>>7889588crazy to think that back then the only way to see a pair of tits was in person by a willing woman. How did men not snap and go beast mode on the first women they saw?
>>7891094That's kind of like asking why so many cartoonists draw circular eyes. I'm sure there's some 'patient zero' where an artist drew their cartoons without noses and people really loved that work, but the main answer is that it look good when done well, and enough artists have done it to influence others to also do it, that there's no stopping it now.There's also likely an element of what >>7891099 said, regarding simplification.
>>7889719>I hate when they draw the woman somewhat realistically, and make them quite attractive - meanwhile the men are disgusting cartoonish blobs.its almost like the idea is to draw attention to the women or something no one is reading sex joke comics in the sexy woman magazine for the men.
>>7891094faces look cuter without the nose usually. youll notice this on lots of cartoons depicting attractive people the nose is either small or non existent
>>7892400>its almost like the idea is to draw attention to the womenWhich is why you must draw the men like shit! In fact, why are they even putting in that much effort, they should make the men stick figures! Right, fellow dumb opinion having anon?
>>7892406>they should make the men stick figures!They could and i doubt anyone but you would notice because they're there to jerk off. Its playboy not the fucking Louvre daft cunt
>>7892413>They could and i doubt anyone but you would notice because they're there to jerk off.Right, people were buying playboy to... jerk off to the cartoons?... I guess there were probably a couple of dudes doing that...>Its playboy not the fucking Louvre daft cuntRe-read the OP and the initial criticism you're whinging about. Neither are specifically about playboy, you stupid raging retard.So it may not be the fuck louvre, but it's not playboy either, it's a general subjective critique about cartoons, but god forbid someone has an opinion that the retard doesn't completely agree with.
>>7892406why are you so pressed about not being able to look at pretty men? why are you rightoids always in denial about being so fucking gay? you love men dude. you love jacking off to big buff beautiful men. i don't understand what you get out of pretending to hate women when you're clearly just super fucking gay.
>>7892417>why are you rightoids always in denial about being so fucking gay?>rightoidsHuh? Go back to /pol/, dipshit.
I mean it wasn't just Playboy that did that shit. Man and woman toons in general were drawn different. I don't think there was any deeper thought behind it than "the purpose of girls is to be cute, the purpose of men is to be funny" (in cartoons) so the girls were drawn cute and the men were drawn goofy and funny, which often overlaps with ugly. Tbf Dennis the Menace isn't the worst example of this, there's a variety of women and Dennis' dad isn't the ugliest, but point stands. Different characters exaggerated in different ways to produce different effects. They weren't that worried about "consistency" or making every character a slight variation of the same genderless bean-mouthed blob template.
In the interview that opens this volume, a collection of some of the best Clara de Noche comic strips, Carlos Trillo and Jordi Bernet recount how they came up with the character, how Gin, the magazine's editor at the time, commissioned Bernet to create a series starring a "fucking awesome" woman, and how they decided to use that expression to create a series about a prostitute who is also a mother. Bernet didn't hesitate to entrust the scripts to his friend and collaborator Carlos Trillo, but Trillo doubted his own abilities to create a series of comic strips that would only run for two pages. He was used to writing long stories and didn't know how to finish such short ones, especially with a joke. Therefore, he teamed up with screenwriter Eduardo Maicas, who wrote sketches and worked in radio doing news parodies, and who, according to Trillo, "didn't know how to tell stories." So, Trillo wrote the strips and Maicas finished them. Since the strips were published in both Spain and Argentina, once they were finished, Bernet would adapt the dialogue to Spanish, and Trillo and Maicas to Argentinian.humoristan.org/es/serie-imagenes/clara-de-noche
>>7892435The early single panel stuff when Hank Ketcham was still drawing it was quite good actually... okay the jokes are typical boomer stuff, though at least Mr. Mitchell doesn't hate his wife. Better than Garfield. I think the art is worth studying for its line economy, shape design and composition. The drawings are deceptively simple, and I get the sense they've been drawn really quickly, but that gives it great charm. There's no use of ruler anywhere, even the panel borders seem to be free handed. You don't get linework like this by being timid and afraid of making mistakes. It seems to be all done with a brush. The characters have really varied design, there's no same face syndrome. The only thing I don't like he gets really lazy with the hands sometimes.
>>7889582>>7889596>>7889719>>7890284why don't yanks draw like this anymore
>>7892575>why don't yanks draw like this anymoreRETARDED AS FUCK (((CAPESHIT))) CRAP.That's why. The same (((infection))) that killed the film industry. To control a society you need to control their social narrative and mythology. To control that narrative you need to make it ONE narrative, one style, one voice, one tale. One shape. An extraterrestrial super being helps the human civilization "catching a thieve who stole a chicken" or "Catching a guy who robbed a (((BANK)))". He doesn't stop wars, or topple tyrants on their ivory towers controlling society and deciding who's poor, who dies and who lives. You can't have "artists" altering the narrative with independent and out of the box artistic expression.
>>7892575I'd say it's because of the changing media landscape. Animation became THE popular media for illustrated/drawn characters, and for the sake of lowering costs and making the animation process easier, much simpler (and simpler, and simpler, and simpler...) art styles were made, and add this to the pigeon holing of animation to children's entertainment... well it's heavily effected the visual tastes of people.When much of the art of this thread was made, the most popular mediums were books and comics (specifically newspaper and magazine comics).Even when movies an television took over, there was a period of time when illustration was still the preferred method of advertising, and thus still had a large sway on the public's visual tastes.Now today's youth is probably most visually influenced by fucking Steven Universe and My Hero Academia.
>>7889579Almost everybody who drew like that died before `1995
>>7892575I, for one am glad this obsolete shit is gone.
>>7894609>t.lolitard
>>7892417I believe it could be seen as undermining men's image. It's a consistent thing in media to make (common) men look useless and stupid and we might now be seeing effects of it on society.
>>7889719Haven't read Archie comics since I was a kid but some of what seemed to be older strips had this style down for Betty and Veronica's, maybe it's the same artist even
>>7894790Yup, Dan Decarlo
>>7894609how can art be obsolete lol
>>7895416Zoomers mentality. Future is grim
