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
