So the idea in practice is simple as is the purpose of this thread.Create a moodboard of art that you wish to incorporate into your style and post what it is you want out of the art work. Then folks can make suggestions link tutorials and such to help.Video sourcehttps://youtu.be/NVy12m9-xjg
I'll start off. A lot of it is line width I'm wondering if anyone has a guide for how to achieve that textured effect on the bottom right image.
>>7908646That texture looks like it could be made using a noise filter (Solid Noise in GIMP, Simplex Noise in Krita).
Good thread idea. I'd participate if I had my PC on hand.
>>7908755Thank you now I just wish others would contribute.>>7908740Some folks suggested it's a water color filter. Jury's still out.
I'll bookmark for later but I wonder, is it best to go with official artists or are randoms from I dunno, Lofter acceptable?
>>7908645I was going to make a thread similar to this asking people had an art style they liked and to post what they wanted instead. I think I like this one more. I cant wrap my head around this lineless painterly style. I want it SO bad.
>>7909119Something like this?https://www.patreon.com/posts/27804414?epik=dj0yJnU9Vm92b0dVZmwxUktyQXNXQV9vWFNIZUxTMms0UFRsZ2smcD0wJm49VUxfWkNpMXIydTA1dlN2OFo1M0IyZyZ0PUFBQUFBR21GS2JR
I think all people should have a folder filled with the things they want to inspire them.
>>7908645A tip.When it comes to style, its not as simple as mishmashing X from 1 style and Y from another.Theres a lot you have to consider and play with.Like Mike Mignola's specific shading isnt gonna work with super curvy lines, its designed for angles.Im not against this moodboard thing though, I like the idea of throwing sugar spice and everything nice to come out with something unique. But just know it isn't gonna be a painless process.GOOD LUCK, would love to see what uglies you guys come up with.
>>7909132sorta, but I guess I would just add more layers for the effect I want
>>7909137I'm posting on 4chan I've come prepared for pain.....and to be called some new form of fag. While I love mignola's shading I don't think it'll work for what I like style wise.>>7909135I got something going for that.
>>7909119There comes a point where you stop thinking of lines as a boundary for color.They are as much a part of the image as everything else. If they are a boundary for anything, its for SHAPE and subsequently FORM, thats the key. It's better to think of the lines you draw as cohesive shapes "ball" "cylinder" "wedge" than objects like "head" "can" "ship". It's much better for your imagination and easier to learn rules for (e.g.) lighting a ball or the top edge of a cube.This is skipping a bunch, but keep it in mind.
>>7909140Mignola's just an example. His edgy, high-contrast shading style fits a dark mood - which might be useful in 1 piece, but not in another. But If you're developing a style, it's useful to deconstruct understand the EFFECT of the techniques used in another style, because those techniques can be applied for effect- without necessarily changing your own style.I get it though, this isn't class. Keep playing, faggot.
>>7908646Do you have a higher res version of the image? I may be able to try to help.
>>7909199God this took some digging to find.https://www.tumblr.com/legionofpotatoes/802864314632552448?source=share
Forgot the inage
Do people actually practice a style or does it just come naturally?Because none of my drawings seem to have the same style.
>>7909947Your style is a direct manifestation of your taste and skill. Your style evolves as your tastes and skills do. Ultimately developing into its own unique form that continues to refine as you grow and take in more influences. If all your drawings aren't consistent in style, it could be you're still at a stage where you're exploring stylistically, or you aren't creating things that YOU want to see brought into this world and just copying other styles without internalizing what it is that draws you to that style to begin with. I started finding my style, once I started trying to make the things that I thought looked cool without regard for what was popular or "in". I don't know if this is the case for others, but there is nothing more liberating than drawing in my "style" because to me it doesn't feel like a chore or like studies or being forced to emulate someone else's style, it feels like I'm playing, it's just pure fun.
Not exactly the effect as seen in this image but I added some noise then gaussian blur and its at least interesting.>>7909276
I fear this thread has been a bust.
>>7908646Looking at the artist's own description, this piece was made using risograph printing, although a similar look could be achieved with watercolor on a paper that is more fine toothed than normal watercolor paper. If done traditionally, you would lay down the paint in a single layer, taking care to avoid any extra paint that would bead up and spread/feather.Here's my attempt at replicating it digitally. The real key to the effect is the texture overlay. It is very hard to find a suitable watercolor texture online that doesn't have feathering and uneven paint. I modified this texture to remove any large-scale tonal variation using wavelet decompose and some clone brush. If I have time later I might try to create a better texture from scratch to get that watercolor on smooth drawing paper look.For the lines, I used a rough ink brush that I modified slightly. On the base color layer, I started with flat colors and painted softly with an airbrush-type brush (transparency lock) to add that hue gradient that comes from painting traditionally wet-on-wet. For the watercolor texture overlay, I processed it further (gradient map) to add a subtle bluish tone in the crevices of the paper. It still looked fine with the monochrome texture, but the color shift adds that extra punch of naturalism.Here are all the textures and a Krita brush if you want to try this out yourself: https://files.catbox.moe/peyjzo.zip
>>7911905Unfortunately(fortunately) I'm a photoshop user. I bought cs6 many moons ago and its been my ride or die since (outside of sick sick aseprite.) I'm certain though this will go a long way to mimicry.
Honestly not sure what I want. I love expressive stylized art but I also enjoy the grounded feeling more realistic stuff provides.
>>7912251Well here's the fun thing you can actually have two styles. The first one I had was for "serious" stuff but I have another for if I want to do cute things.
>>7912259The problem is I'd like to make money off my art one day and building an online presence seems to require having a consistent/recognizable style.
>>7908645These instructions are so bizarre>create a folderOkay>save 5-10 imagesWhat kind of images? Landscapes? Flowers? Still-lifes?>add your own styleAdd it to what? The images? Like redraw them?>now you should have 6-11 art images on your folderOh. So throw out whatever I've done in steps 2 and 3, and do them for real now. Aren't files "in" a folder by the way?>pick your top 3 favorite style featuresOkay. Do the images in the folder matter?>do the same for your styleWhat. I assume pick style features. But that's what I draw because I like it. Even if this made sense it's like picking your favorite child.>specify reoccuring featuresReoccurring. This is probably least deranged task.Is this from a video or a slide show? If yes, these points should be spread out in time. If no, it doesn't seem like we've achieved anything.Does the person who made this have a Patreon? I bet they ask money for this garbage.
>>7912273Not to be uncouth but I did provide a video in the initial post detailing the instructions. Here it is again . https://youtu.be/NVy12m9-xjgAlso 5-10 images and then you add 1 of yours that makes it so there are 6-11 that's not confusing that's just math.
bump
Got a new composition that I'll finish up tomorrow when I actually don't have homework for once. My teachers have been relentless.
>>7909119Who's the artist for the 2nd/3rd image on the right, with the two lizard people sharing a meal? I dig the look of it.
