I drew some stuff and I would be pleased if you looked at it.


Here's some bits from a comic project with a friend.

(https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebackalleys.com%2Fdump%2Ffiles%2F1401%2F5533Xr_8.jpg&hash=b939b49870e151bdc747ad906af4f7049e888eb2)

These are guys in masks doing some traditional festival stuff. These spirits appear and take crops, which they roll into thin cigarettes; they smoke and fill the sky, pushing away rainclouds. They appear in droves and cause droughts and famine.

These are mountain-eaters. I'm sure you can guess at what they do.

I was bored and I had watercolors, so I got out some copy paper and started browsing lookbook.nu.

i like your style. the poses feel stiff but that's always something you can improve on. try some lovecastle (http://lovecastle.org/draw/) or pixelovely (http://www.pixelovely.com/gesture/figuredrawing.php) for some pose and anatomy ideas for your style :)

Heyllo everyperson.
I had yet another idea for some comic. It is inspired by Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Texhnolyze.
I made a bunch of sketches, and colored a few. Here are the two that don't make me cringe. Maybe possibly expect more later.


(Winter Queen)
(https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebackalleys.com%2Fdump%2Ffiles%2F1401%2F900i8M_winter%2520queen.png&hash=33da78505fd89a5aebca73c72abac10a7a26cb85)

(Summer Bishop)
(https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebackalleys.com%2Fdump%2Ffiles%2F1401%2F190No9_summer%2520bishop.png&hash=722f1db870e41d1b2a72b2db1501659fd5f42b77)



I of course tried to draw some clean lines, and color those, but they were too soulless and dead-looking.

Have been working on making "complete" drawings IRL, and not just doodles. I would submit, but it's like a five minute walk to the nearest scanner and I'm not having any of that.


Also some more stuff from the mountain-eater / smoking mask project:

(https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebackalleys.com%2Fdump%2Ffiles%2F1401%2F9138Ai_nya.png&hash=07b39e130c1549ba553d1667eb6e64f928bf4fc4)

(https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebackalleys.com%2Fdump%2Ffiles%2F1401%2F519Yo2_wertyufdertyu.png&hash=b2c90855693bca81d08b8d9e783a156147eff471)
Still not totally comfortable drawing scantily clad females.

I also redrew this one, but the file was corrupted.

8D





I'm trying to stop sketching everything. It's hard to make one line and resist the urge to go over it or correct it again in some way.
And I'm trying to to make more "finished" pieces. :/ I really have been drawing nothing but heads for the past few years.

Also, more color abuse. And my scanner broke.

(https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebackalleys.com%2Fdump%2Ffiles%2F1401%2F364zO4_idk.png&hash=cb2ed3586f23eca2db6174c42cdce701b7f38184)

Eventually I just break down and start drawing more lines than necessary.

Wait, when did I start drawing everyone looking to the right.

1. For some reason I haven't been to 4chan in a while, but I'll actively avoid it now. :/ It hasn't been good for my English.

2. Thank you for your disinterest? What kind of art are you into, anyways?

3. I have really never worked with color before, so I'm sorry, I'm sort of losing my shit over it now.

4. Okay, I will try uploading more "finished" things. For instance:

if you would go as far to say that is whiteknighting you're just further proving my point
Title: Re: The Most Annoying Sketchbook In The World
Post by: sev on May 23, 2012 06:29 PM
that wasn't whiteknighting. your criticism was generally unhelpful. you didn't state anything that was wrong with the colors, or that was right with anything else. and stu didn't say "fuck you sinitron leave lovey alone" he said "don't take him too seriously" which is perfectly good advice because it seemed like she was.
Title: Re: The Most Annoying Sketchbook In The World
Post by: Sinitron on May 23, 2012 08:09 PM
so what you're saying is

the colors aren't trash

which is completely and utterly wrong if you aren't fucking blind

do you want me to write a fucking article about it fuck you you don't know shit about color and your eyeballs are fucking rotten to the core, all three of you (stu, sev, zen)

you're all far more worthless than anything i could possinly say

subject 1:

(https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebackalleys.com%2Fdump%2Ffiles%2F1401%2F190No9_summer%2520bishop.png&hash=722f1db870e41d1b2a72b2db1501659fd5f42b77)

this is acceptable

(https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebackalleys.com%2Fdump%2Ffiles%2F1401%2F137Uo1_Troisfleurs%2520et%2520Le%2520Monstre.png&hash=2ba15c4ae10b59fa18fb4a0cae79364a980cfa2e)

this is very brown, but it's not a soft and earthly brown, it's a revolting electric brown which is really fucking horrible to look at - it's also inconsistent but apparently the file was corrupted or something so i'm going to assume it is unfinished

the color abuse post is just that, save for the last picture which isn't pretty but bordering to acceptable

(https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebackalleys.com%2Fdump%2Ffiles%2F1401%2F7667gU_modern%2520warehouse.png&hash=d20d9a7ae49fea03a6665e2a628585541e48fe04)

this isn't too bad but some of the color transitions are too sudden and crude to achieve the (hopefully) intended goal of defining the shapes of the characters and instead it loses form and looks messy (but again, this was apparently sort of unfinished)

it's odd though because this only applies to the human characters that make up the foreground while most of the stuff in the background, except for the very bright red boxes, is good and consistent
Title: Re: The Most Annoying Sketchbook In The World
Post by: Sinitron on May 23, 2012 08:12 PM
there's like a million fucking books on color and MOST PEOPLE were born with eyes and common sense and judging by some of the things i see lovey is fully capable of making far better choices than what is seen in some of these pictures but it could just be a matter of getting used to digital media and/or not having a decade+ worth of fucking experience with idiotic drawing programs developed by fags that use apple products (nuke adobe) so FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!
Title: Re: The Most Annoying Sketchbook In The World
Post by: sev on May 23, 2012 08:58 PM
we're not defending the colors, that was the point when i said stu isn't whiteknighting. but you deliver your criticism like a socially retarded pretentious asshole and no one who's trying to get better wants to hear that shit.
Title: Re: The Most Annoying Sketchbook In The World
Post by: naturally on May 24, 2012 02:02 AM
i never actually defended anyone at any point, you're just jumping to a reason to counter my statement but there's really nothing wrong with what i said no matter how you put it.

plus it's not like i was even saying you should stop doing it, because i wouldn't expect anything to come of that.

Also tiny bonus if you can stand more scribble nonsense:
15 seconds of some kind of storyboard still-panel thing. (http://youtu.be/rC4Rqi0CAvc)

I basically can't listen to a song without imagining something to it anymore, and I'm doing this because I don't have the patience to animate out my whole thought. I do plan on finishing it. Style is subject to all sorts of changes.

Yeah, it is definitely very, very, very, very bad. I have about as much experience lining things as I do coloring them, and my hands are damned unsteady. I'm not exactly sure of how to fix this.

Other than practice, practice, practice and getting a tiny bit better very slowly over time. ;_;

i like the muted colors. you should just fill it nicely instead of scribble on it. it probably would have only taken you about 15 more minutes :wile:

That inspired this, some how:

I drew the girl in red as an afterthought, which I'm pretty sure shows in her asinine pose.

Can't seem to get the hang of soft shadows, so I tried dabbling in hard ones.

Is the color alright?

i probably would have met with a more muted background color, makes everything else pop out and the left character's shiirt is too close in value to the purple

Maybe I should lay off the video games.

That comic page doesn't seem to make any sense so far...I see a lady turning and then a monster and then a close claw near her as she is running okay...but then some dude in a hoodie and a little box with "snap" written on it ?_? Um what's going on there? I can't piece it together. Also everything is crammed into those panels so close that they all seem "boxed in" by the panels. I'd zoom back just a little more on the faces and allow more scene to be shown so that we know she's running in a place (like where IS she? in a desert? in a city? a building lab? who knows.) I'll leave the rest of my concerns when we see a more finished looking page :)

I abandoned whatever comic attempt that was; the page is absolutely terrrrible. >_>
But I'll try solidifying another comic idea and making a better page.


I lost my tablet for about a week and half, but the instant I found it, I drew this.
(https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebackalleys.com%2Fdump%2Ffiles%2F1401%2F44v3H_View%2520of%2520the%2520Tower.png&hash=010f4c3170462779d6ba044e2a7c9870fe42da38)

And then I remembered that atmospheric perspective was a thing.
I'm at a loss as to what I should do with that great lump in the distance.
(https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebackalleys.com%2Fdump%2Ffiles%2F1401%2F488uM_View%2520of%2520the%2520Tower2.png&hash=e0b79cce8c422cba91150c7784bf9bb64bee37bd)

And this (mostly the somewhat firmer shapes in front), have inspired me to attempt something without lines.
(https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebackalleys.com%2Fdump%2Ffiles%2F1401%2F031h0O_View%2520of%2520the%2520Tower%2520lineless.png&hash=4ec30c9282d37d4f9dff5e6735044b6ebbbec9b3)

But that's probably going to take a bit.

any reason you're using that mustard yellow color for a majority of the colors? judging by the sky it is night time, i'd expect a cooler color dominating the scene
Title: Re: The Most Annoying Sketchbook In The World
Post by: valiums on June 22, 2012 12:12 AM
Because I forgot about coolness and warmth.

Nothing wrong on your side; I just couldn't figure out how to get some pressure-sensitive thing to work correctly, and kept bouncing from program to program.
I forget which program wasn't letting me control the size of the pencil tool. Maybe Shi-Painter.

i know with jtablet installed chibipaint will do it automatically, and then shida mentioned another one also supports it if you turn on some option. but i can't remember what it was
Title: Re: The Most Annoying Sketchbook In The World
Post by: Shida on July 3, 2012 08:17 PM
If you have jTablet installed. On the top right hand corner of a shipainter/shipainter pro canvas is a 'P'. Click on it and you can switch on pressure sensitivity for shipainter =)
