>>7139539friendly reminder to improve your shape language
>>71395461. weird unapplealing shape language2. looks like you are copying blindly the shapes and colors/tones you see without understanding the anatomy that is making those shapes and the 3D forms
I tried studying akipeko's style.

>>7138454Well whatever percent or category you fall in you're appreciated. Modeling is hard, thank you for doing what you do
Some more practice
>>7137448Once i get /fit/ im gonna start modeling for these groups. Ill be the change I want to see in the world
>>7136633nice gestures in these
Meh
Because I need a place here to discuss 2D art and post my new stuff.I suppose a single general is better than making single threads.
You are not important enough to have your own thread, cris and besides you have multiple threads in multiple boards already, faggot.
>>7139524Make a single thread on /b/ and never return here
>>7139524you may not like itbut OP is what peak shape language looks like
I heard shape language can improve your art 10x and break you free from polished turds is this true?
>>7139181In terms of design shapes are more important than forms, but as far as practice is concerned you need to put much more work in the latter. At some point you learn to intuit what makes a good shape. Form always remains mental though; even after getting a feel for it you still need to think out the perspective.
>>7138985I like when they put a shape on their drawing like it's intentional when you can put any other shape on there too
>>7138985I try to emphasize shapes in my art, but I have no idea what makes a shape appealing to look at.
>>7139150"shape language is irrelevant, it's shape language that's important"
>>7139545and how you define shape language? please illuminate my mind with your nodraw wisdom
>What's a webtoon?Webtoon is the ancient Korean art of scrolling comics. Instead of traditional manga/comic pages, panels are spread out individually for easier reading on cell phones.>So they're just spliced manga/comic pages?You can do that if you want, but they're fundamentally different for a few reasons. For example, panels tend to be drawn longer to fit phone screens, and traditional 2-page spreads are not possible to fit in scrolling format.>Are there standard page sizes?Technically yes, but it depends on which platform you post in. Naver Webtoons uses800x1280px, but the site automatically splices & resizes images anyway.>Do I have to make it in color?If you want subscribers, yes.>Why would I make one?To be rich & famous, of course. All jokes aside, the pay is low if you're lucky enough to get hired in the first place, the deadlines are more brutal than the manga industry, and the average reader age floats around 11. But as a novel medium with a growing industry, it may still be worthwhile enough for you to experiment.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>7136161Omeow, where did her UFO choker go.
>>7137637Good question. She left it on the desk in her trailer for this shot.
boomp
>>7135411Lineart is done, just gotta shade and add text
My comic taking me WAYYYYYY too long to complete. I lose motivation then get it back, lose motivation then get it back, rinse, repeat. It takes so long to get my motivation back that my art improves, which in turn makes me wanna change almost everything which consumes even more time. This is just page one

>>7135954Nat and BBC are better than him.
>>7139328It isn't a measure of skill, it is a measure of popularityYou can't be popular if you suck
>>7139375This is a joke right?
>>7139387You just suck
>>7139348Nat the lich doesn't even post here anymore, also I'm better, i just hide my power level
Yeah, yeah, another AI thread. Some actual content and consequences of its use this time though. DC has pulled multiple covers from artist accused of AI art use. I'll post the art upclose with some side by sides of his 'real' art and pencils, etc in subsequent posts. How are artists going to prove they draw anythign anymore? How can they pull art like this while having habitual tracers like Greg Land, Mike Deodato, David Mack, etc, etc employed and selling their tracings as real art? For manga, they trace all the time and some manga are tim buckly tier with cut and paste eyes and noses on 3d models basically. Why do people care if its AI if it looks like artgerm or other digital rendered copycats?
>>7138785its so funny when people try to sketch over AI and then act like the sketch came first, its so obvious to people who can draw.
>>7138780A new report shows DC Comics is in massive trouble, with a 25% annual sales drop as the comic industry continues its death spiral.However, it gets worse for DC Comics, as he writes, “DC had a pretty bad year, with their lowest sales since 2004 – down 25% from 2022 in the bookstore market – even with their highest ever number of titles in the total list. In 2023 they had only 14 titles in the Top 750; in 2013, ten years ago, they had 130. That is a huge and troubling drop – but maybe laying off nearly your entire sales and marketing team is not a great strategy for growth? If someone had been been making a concerted effort to dismantle DC Comics, they couldn’t have been more surgical – luckily, DC still has talented execs like Marie Javins, Jim Lee, Annie de Pies and the rest of the staff who have thwarted those plans. And from what we’re hearing, 2024 will see some more moves to reverse this concerning trend.”Amazingly, ComicsBeat writers can still spin this as “and that’s a good thing” as many mainstream articles try to mitigate the destruction of entertainment industries like comics at the hands of the woke. These are the same executives who initially led DC Comics into this mess. A new relaunch of a universe—as he’s alluding to with the Absolute DC line—might give a short-term boost but isn’t going to fix the comic industry problems.DC Comics is on a death spiral, and unless they make wholesale changes to prioritize story and less identity politics virtue signaling at the hands of creators like Tom King or Tom Taylor, we can expect this sales decline will continue.>>GOOD
>>7139507>DC ComicsDetective Comics is a Warner is movie franchise these days. People don't read paper comics anymore, they're too busy playing with their computer.
>>7138782the random, non-descript strings of shit everywhere is a dead giveaway
>>7139519> the random, non-descript strings of shit everywhere is a dead giveawayYeah. Like wtf.
If you're on a break after drawing and feel like sharing what's on your mind about what you're working on, the industry, things that excite you about art, or anything that frustrates you about drawing or the process of art then grab a cup of water and chill out here. Remember to keep discussion on-topic as much as possible.Previous: https://warosu.org/ic/thread/7105220
>>7139267Finished a doodle and honestly, it's the first one in a long few months I've done since I worked on art. I am a beginner so I am expecting to not have the best style starting out, but this just makes me regret not taking the chance of drawing and practicing more when in middle school or high school. Video games and youtube videos are a real curse for learning and affecting your dopamine man. Really makes for trying to start a long term project like video game or webcomic shit impossible.
>>7139313Draw larger while zoomed out, and then shrink your drawing after. Don't fight against the pixels by drawing small.
Listen anon, life is hard, everyone is suffering, everyone is struggling, don't beat up yourself or shit on others over it. Yeah, life's not fair, fuck it and ride it out to the deep end. In our noble pursuit, often time, it can get lonely, it is necessary to accept that you came alone and you will go alone, you have to face it, you will face rejections after rejections, failures after failures, and that can be painful. If it can be endured, endure, never complain. You have this fire inside of you, this sheer unaltered and unquestionable power within you. Believe in yourself, and create that masterpiece, you know you have it in you. Keep going, keep doing, never give up, never give in. Throughout history, it only take one to change the world. Do the best you can, when you can, we might be alone but we are never lonely, the creative powers flows through us since the ancient times, it surpass time and space, the first caveman who drew on the wall, Michaelangelo who painted and carved, to you today, you and your magic box and magic pixels, you have it in you, learn how it is and how it should be. Become glorious, become maximum, become undeniable. Let's meet there in the zone.
I caught myself trying to undo on pen and paper last night. What have I become?
>>7139313It took me years to find the comfy spot but for me getting an android tablet and drawing with the right tool helps. But i do sketch around on paper especially for learning references
My figures always look "off" in some way. It's like they aren't accurate to what the model looks like. Any tips on how to fix that aren't just "practice more"? I've been doing this for months and I'm still pretty shitty.
why do begs start with digital lmao
>>7134895Use this trickTry to draw a whole human body in 2 or 3 minutes, not details, just the main shapeI see that is good in anatomy, but lacks the life of the flow gestureSo doing it fast should help you
>>7134895Draw simplified mannequin as a sketch. Learn how to turn a mannequin to an anatomically accurate figure, which isnt easy at all since theres a lot more anatomy you need to implement but at least with a mannequin its proportionally and spatially accurate
>>7138564>>7138213>>7134915Love it when /ic/ gives me good advice. Thanks.
>>7138970Most posters dont even post their work thats all they had to do to get a sincere critisim (and not be a permabeg schizo helps)
How do i femininemax my art??
>>7139444you mean a cross?
>>7139447They're meant to be little stars. You can see an example in op picture.
>>7139037draw sexy lean masculine anime men. any tranny can paint a watercolor witch but they can't stomach the things women really like.
>>7139452across from where?
>>7139444Stars. The popular depiction as 4 points adjoined by parabolic curves likely originates from distortions created by the Hubble Telescopes support struts though similar distortions are caused by defects in the human eye and can be seen when looking at any bright light source
Draw this in your style
