Alternative Art/Stylization General

What is /ALT/?
If you're looking for a place to post your cartooning then you've found the right general. This is /ic/s 1st and only merged hub where both Eastern and Western stylization can coexist peacefully, hence the double title. However, by community demand and long history, this is favorably an Anime general.
>Rules & Guidelines
(1) Any form of cartooning is welcome; so submit and receive feedback from others. (2) Please resize your images before posting. (3) Share your knowledge and (4) Remember to not be afraid of asking for critique. Most importantly I encourage you to keep discussion at a civil level, but you're more than welcome to share your opinions.
>I came for anime. Why does the image OP say cartoons general?
To distinguish from the anime study thread (janitor supported). Please post your studies there and personal work goes here.

Pretty new to pixel stuff, animation, and character design in general. I liked the idea of an anthro bearded dragon. But never quite did it justice I dont think. My friend liked it at least. Also RIP those old 8-bit cinemographs that were all over /f/ back in the day. Was going for that vibe.

It's fun, and there's nothing quite like drawing.
I like it based on what I'm seeing, curious to how your finished stuff looks.
>>5137467
Those eyes are a bit misplaced
>>5138142
Only thing I'd say is the objects base color (shrooms, pants, etc.) being unaffected by the environment/lighting doesn't look very good. Besides that the dithering is very appealing.
>>5136411
Just embrace it, imagine it's the same way an amateur actor feels playing a corny character.
As long as you do it well, and are honest (not acting "ironic" to hide your embarrassment) people are gonna like it.

i'm >>5139000 and thanks for the feedback. here's my most recent piece.

in regards to yours, i don't do a lot of digital painting so i can't give any rendering advice. however, you could improve the shadow shapes coming from her left armpit by removing the symmetry and varying the shape sizes. while this won't necessarily make the piece more realistic, it'll balance the composition and make it read better.

[Anonymous No.5141143]

I hope this is the right general
Im having trouble drawing anime styled eyes. My problem is that I'm still pretty new to drawing (3 months) and I cant draw good faces from imagination, I almost always need to use ref. So I am undersure how to approach this. Should I be comfortable with drawing the face from imagination before I start doing anime stylizations?
I dont specifically want to draw anime though, I wanna draw short stack art, and most of that work has a style anime eyes thing going on with it (since theyre 3-4 heads tall and need giant heads to fit the illusion. Unless your doing incase goblins or some really fucking good artist but I dont know how to draw like that yet)
TL:DR
>How do i draw anime eyes
>Should I learn to draw the face from imagination before i delve into learning anime eyes
Pic related is some of my work, left is my best anime styled attempts. Right is my best realism face (portraits from reference)

[Anonymous No.5141144]

I really wish designing characters and their outfits came as easy to me as mecha.

[Anonymous No.5141587]

>>5140887
such a nice style. got a blog?

>>5141143
you can do both at the same time but really abuse the hell out of references as a beginner. i didn't do this and wasted a BOAT load of time.

the best way to study heads is this:
- pick a stylised head shape that you like
- find a head reference which replicates this shape / form.
- study how the artist has (consciously or unconsciously) SIMPLIFIED a real head into an anime style

in your case those heads are extremely stylised and look nothing like reality. pick something more achievable for now like anime or tumblr style.

best way to draw heads:
- learn to construct head forms -> loomis (lol).

there are better ways to learn how to construct heads but it involves doing your own independent studies on how to simplify forms into convenient shapes that YOU find useful. for instance i like to imagine every character wearing a face mask. it's simple as hell, easy to imagine in space and draw using two simple triangles. of course this requires you "graudating" from loomis at some point because of how bad it is. when i say it's bad, it's not actually that bad but bad for beginners because sculpting a head out of a round form is hard when you barely know shit. but to lead you back onto the right track: study how krenz kushart constructs his forms. not just once but the rest of your art career. the guy is a wizard at simplification.

if you can't "picture a form in your minds eyes and then draw it" then do drawabox and practice rotating primitive forms in perspective. baby steps, friend.

[Anonymous No.5141595]

>>5138226
You rushed the construction phase and jumped in straight to detailing, coloring, effects, etc.
Your perspective is a complete mess, looks like half of his body parts are dwarf sized. The gesture is stiff, looks like he's standing still instead of being mid-action.

Love the details and colors. Spend more time on the planning phase next time.

The design is derivative and a frankenstein of existing mecha. No thought into functionality or shape design, just mindlessly throwing together things you thought might be cool.

Would you suggest to leave the black shadows? What are some digital-only artists that draw similar to my style in trad? Biggest inspirations are Moebius, Druillet, Akihiko Yoshida, Katsuhiro Otomo, and I am also influenced by pre-Wind Waker Zelda games Classic D&D and Dosbox crpgs as well.

I thought I made clear what shapes were dominant the first time.
I agree with some of the other criticisms though. The first pass was more focused on the form and elements I liked such as the cape, feet, ankle armor, and horn.
Revised it with some of that in mind.
Now joints make more sense and gave it a wider range of movement.
However as a result I lost the sketchy look I was originally going for, I liked how that added a kind of "ancient" feeling to the original drawing.
But I like where its progressed

[Anonymous No.5153533]

>>5153505
Their foreheads are incredibly long, and the noses are a bit long too (not that noses can't be that length, it's just unflattering for this style). If you hold your hand in front of your face, the length from your palm to your fingertips should be roughly the same as the length of your chin to your hairline. Their shoulders are a bit thin too, you should be able to fit 2 head-widths on the shoulders (though anime does often make them slimmer). Finally, the general pose of the bodies is very stiff, but that's more to do with gesture than proportion.

You did capture some of the trademarks of 80s anime, primarily the line quality, I'd just say shift your focus to the underlying structure for now.

What exactly makes my art style "too western" for some people? It's something I've been thinking about recently, I am going for something that could pass as it was made in either parts of the world since I am influenced by European artists like Moebius, Toppi and Druillet as well as Otomo, Akihiko Yoshida and sometimes Miyazaki, but a lot of people still read my art as western. Why is it exactly that?

[Anonymous No.5159797]

>>5159629
Looks a bit too monotone value-wise to me; I get the „murky water” aesthetic, and Im not sure how much could be done while still preserving it, but still. I would personally experiment with some sort of secondary rim lighting, or go the opposite way and make the water background into a gradient that gets even darker as it approaches the line of the sand (so the whole head area stands out more).

I think you tend to be able to understand shape and anatomy, but get lazy with it and symbol draw. Also the image is very flat, stemming from the perspective being messed up.

Draw from reference more, stop rounding out shapes just in case, and learn anatomy. Learn the forms of the human body, then study how manga authors sinplify those forms

Thanks for the recap man. I actually became a regular towards the tail end of Firez posting. I like his stuff though.

How long did Bagboss post for? From what I remember he wasn't around for long. He's a weird case. I could never figure out if he was a pro drawing like a kid or if he just brutforced kid scribbles into something appealing.

Asukafag just migrated to /salt/ didn't he? I thought it was a shame because nudes wasn't the ticket to making his art appealing. He really just needed to hammer down some consistency.

How long was Taro posting for? It seemed like he finished up his set and was gone.

I miss globohomo girl. She seemed nice and her art wasn't soulless or devoid of character like the style would generally lead you to believe.

>As far as i followed the threads, weren't they getting bullied a lot in the threads?

Yeah, mostly seemed to be crabbing. Have never understood why some people have an issue with other anons regularly posting their work.

Oh, there was also this middle aged french chick that posted really nice gestures in dynamic poses and angles for a while.

Anyone got her insta?

>why some people have an issue with other anons regularly posting their work
Sometimes i would give some advice or feedback to some anons and the thread would turn to shit;
>"why are you giving them attention but not others?"
And then, when i'd ignore them, they would turn to the one i'm giving feedback.

I get my work ignored most of the time i post it but fuck me one has to be pretty fucking pathetic to even shitpost like that

Can't blame anons for just leaving or just not posting their work anymore.

Yeah it can be a pretty toxic thread at times which is a shame because otherwise it's pretty comfy.
