Why would you use black lineart on the skin/hair but not on the suit? It looks weird.

>>4938

Experimentation, personal preference, and amateurism primarily.

I like thick outlines and thought it looked nice, but I still don't know what I'm doing.

>>4970

Thought the right side was the same photo at first.

Props, pops.

She's just gonna eat all your ravioli

You can have mine, I don't want her

>>5024

This is now the plan and probably the best way to go about operating. The Sycra videos and my picture's lukewarm reception elsewhere made that abundantly clear.

>That moment when you realize the few who complained about never sticking to one drawing long enough to finish were actually at an advantage the entire time

>>5058

Well first off, no duh. In Japan big boob fetishes are huge, and now big but fetishes are a thing. Why not give the people what they want?

And also why are you getting so bent out of shape? Do some artists have proportions that are odd looking? Yes, but alot make unrealistic proportions look good.

Cartoonists, comic book artists, animation, and even some of the Masters impressionism, expressionism, they all alter proportions. But somehow you know best? Fuck off.

Lastly, your apparent hatred towards anime and Japanese artists makes you worse then anyone. A blanket statement about how they are all terrible because of porn? Are you sure you shouldn't be shitting up /b/ or /v/?

Why is your opinion worth more then a normal person?

>>4887

I've seen colorblind people paint some really interesting things, because they use correct values but very unusual hues. Artistically it can actually look very good.

You can reduce the saturation to remove the colors anyway, so I don't think it matters much whether you paint in colors or monochrome.

Can this be a how you mix something to something thread? I kind of am having trouble trying to get a certain shade of brown using primary colors. Will post reference if anyone is interested.

Thanks mang.

>>4909

It seems like most people are pretty accurate here (honestly you all are, I wish I found this place long ago, fuck /ic/)

The one point I'm not seeing is this:

If you want to draw, you need to practice everything. Starts with heads and hair and eyes then eventually bodies.

But then you need to dress those characters, and find clothes they would wear, and then you spend weeks learning to draw zippers. And it goes on, and on.

But drawing from life is how your brain learns to recreate things. Let's say you had an epic fucking dream, where the most amazing zombie/dragon thing was chasing you. If you never bothered trying to draw from real life you will have a harder time recreating it.

I personally do mostly character illustrations,(not really animu style, but not far off)

And yes I use a stylized style, but sometimes I even draw that style from real life pictures, because I pic up new ways to do things, like the shine and shading in peoples eyes.

God that thread. Isn't it just a bunch of armchair art critics getting bent out of shape because porn doesn't look anatomically correct?

Isn't that the same mentality of a group of people who see every blockbuster Hollywood movie trying to point out plot holes in vines/ YouTube videos?

your point remains valid, but your example is... Special

>>5073

I'm seeing this at every art board I go to

/loomis/ and /dpd/

obvious samefag but jesus this is embarrassing amount of sperg

>>4909

I want to draw cute anime girls. Line only. I'll try to trace.

You're better off posting this in >>>/lit/ which is explicitly for writing

>>5051

I'm going to have to agree with >>5052

But mostly because creative writing is an exercise. It's like asking people here about your quick sketches.

Creative writing is supposed to help you organize your thoughts, show you how to build literary structure.

When reading it however, all I get is "ooh, a simaly inside a simaly!?!" "Holy shit! A metaphor?!? And another simaly?!?"

Nothing happens. No characters, story, background, thought, fiorm or function. You put a whole lot of effort into this, but it's all lost on me. I have neither the time, patients or desire to read past the first line.

>>5051

>>5076

Ok, that reply was not meant to sound so rude, and bitchy.

I saw your post started reading the first line and instantly I was back in collage. Where every uninteresting idiot thought they could became interesting by being a writer, because everything else required talent.

But their friends didn't want to hurt their feelings, so they never critiqued them and now they all think they are the next Stephanie Myer or JK Rawlings, because they compare everything to everything else.

It's 5 am, I should be asleep, and I'm sorry.

good advice 'cept the stabilizer part, grind until you draw "stabilized" lines without actually using the thing.

>>5027

This. Stabilization also effects the pressure sensitivity of your lines.

>>4719

Your drawings would generally look more like the first example since there isnt alot of variety of line weight with stabilizing.

>>4652

Learn to draw by having the good stroke on the first try which mean: no more eraser

Also maybe your tablet isn't good enough.

I find if I use a pencil my linework is good, but I need a stabilizer on to get similar results on a tablet

>>5041

>>5042

Thank you. I wish there was an entire book written in this style, going through each of those 5 points in great detail, deconstructing the whole thing even further. Complete with recommended exercises that progressively help you acquire the set of skills known as 'drawing'. That would really please my inner engineer.

But I digress. Thanks again for the concise answer.

2 questions

How good should I be before starting to learn animation?

Anyone has some good brushes for Krita? It doesn't eat up photoshop brushes.

>>5048

just jump right in, animation is good practice.

when do I know if I'm good enough for blog

I just want to circle jerk with friends and talk about waifus tbhfam

>>5063

Don't worry about being good enough for a blog. Worst case scenario, you just won't get followers. Best case scenario, you have a lot of fun with your friends and get some people who like your art following you on the side.

>>5038

Das ist very pretty

>>5049

Thanks fam. How to better though?

>>5053

stop using lined paper

>>5064

Just be more accurate, esp. between the nose and mouth.

ITT: uncultured swine

>>4988

jesus christ that guy's head

>>4988

looks like he put on glasses that are one size too small

>>4974

you're also forgetting about the part where the characters limbs essentially look like dyed noodles flopping around

I am 100% sure most people design those characters to look like that 2p England dude.

>>3495

You can get krita for free which is better than corel paint in at least a couple ways.

>>3495

There's also Artrage, which is around 50/60$ at most

>>4806

In what way is krita better than corel painter? I'm highly skeptical of this.

>>4864

>being skeptical of free shit

You literally have nothing to lose if you just give it a try.

>>5046

>>5047

Unfortunately does not seem to be in their list.
