I also drew this, but it's mouse, not tablet

That kid's gonna get gum all over his sleeve if he doesn't watch it...

i think hes smoking through a hole in his neck
Once youve gotten the hang of the tablet, itll be just fine. Good luck. Oh and nice drawings.

I actually pushed that pink blob to the back of my mind without realizing what it was. I thought it was part of his arm or something.
I thought he was like, wearing a boxing glove or something (?)
nah it's gum
Yezzir, the gum is Lebron James flavored
Also, I FUCKING LOVE THIS THING (For Photoshop anyway, I still prefer the mouse for flash)
You get to watch me draw this.....wheee

anyway. try cleaning up the lines a little bit. it's a little chaotic in there
LIKIN THE VIEW BRO KEEP IT UP HOMIE YEAH DOG THEM SOME NICE HOOTAZ
that's a lot of sketch lines
jazz, have you ever experimented with a more curvy, edge-defined style than the one you work with now, which i notice is very rubbery and loose looking... not that thats a bad thing, but i would like to see what a few of your characters look like with more solid curvature

i think he means a lot of the time your characters don't look like they have joints and they're made out of macaroni
black macaroni
blackaroni?

black macaroni
yeah pretty much
ill find some comparison photos later
lmao macaroni.
i know what you mean, but I like having it that way. traditional human anatomy structure is boring to me, i like blackaroni. (Which i think i'll forever call my style from now on thanks to sashura) my anatomy probably isn't appealing now, but as I work on my style it'll improve over time. thanks for the input though
squeeze me macaroni
slop your face with my bologna

this one sucks the others asre really cool
The second picture in the first post of the thread is the best thing you've ever drawn, I think. Very nice lines.
thanks, and really mrat? I thought that one was kinda weak.
i love the second one
Quote from: YungJazzthanks, and really mrat? I thought that one was kinda weak.
That's probably because you've been conditioned to think flashy, filters, etc are good, when it fact they are bad. That second drawing is plain, simple and features very solid and strong construction with great line weight and sensitivity. She looks ready to move at any second and there is a load believability to her expression and pose. Looks perfect to animate.
my tablet still hasnt arrived FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
well maybe you shouldn't live on some big dumb island FUUUUUUUCKKKKKK
lmao stfu yankeedoodlefuck
STOP FUCKING SWEARING

holy fucking shit
the chick on the left looks reeeally strangely proportioned
the guy in the middle looks great though love the exaggerated perspective
proportions need some serious help there's about 5 million anatomy issues going on there
the guy's face is pretty cool though
Yeah i hear you guys, my perspective needs serious practice, that's why I'm starting to make pictures like this so that I can get the hang of it. It's relatively simple for a shapeless 12-year-old boy like the one in the red hoodie, but I struggled with the girl.
well even the guys' body is messed up, especially his arms. the ground is really disorienting too. if you want to practice perspective, i would start with things perhaps a little less amibitious than these extreme lens top-down shots. "coming at you" shots can be more interesting and make for better compositions imo
whats the best way to learn perspective
because i see some animators simulating a fish eye lens and shit. that just boggles my mind how do they do that shit
use the filter in photoshop and trace
that's how I would do it
i don't think it's smart to start trying stuff like fisheye until you have a solid concept of anatomy and normal perspective
the great thing about stuff like fisheye though, is that it works great with cartoons since exaggeration is so important to animation
it's just not easy
http://www.videosift.com/video/through-the...nning-animation (http://www.videosift.com/video/through-the-eyes-of-a-fly-oscar-winning-animation)
that is by far the best use of fish eye i've seen. in fact i cant recall another animation with such a fully realized 3D perspective (all environment and no actual characters) all fully animated using only traditional FBF. granted they had to have used a reference but my god what a lovely film
i couldn't watch the whole thing. the buzzing sound drove me half insane D:
It's not really a huge deal to me, I'll learn perspective when I get my first college art class, I'm just havin' fun for now.
Oh and here's sum shit i just threw together in like 10 minutes each lol . i know they'll get picked to death but whatever

giraffe neck
taking art classes doesn't mean you're going to magically learn things, you'll have to apply yourself in the same way you've probably taught yourself about art and animation. you can take a lot of things or nothing from school depending on whether it's any good or not and if it's something you're really passionate about. in short don't use "i'm not in art school" as an excuse for something lacking refinement. there are kids that have been going to my school since day one and they still suck.
in any case the cartoon one is way better than the more realist one
Umm....aight that wasn't an excuse, it was more of an I-dont-give-a-fuck, I'll cross that bridge when it gets here.

duude..
dude..
well if you don't give a fuck you'll never get better at it
No, I practice everyday so it will get better. I'm just not in a hurry to stress out over making my shit perfect, because I'm doing this for fun. And yeah, I am passionate enough about it.
lmao whatever

I gotta hand ya some major props for being able to do such good stuff with only a mouse. I dunno HOW I survived for that long until I got my tablet screen a couple years ago. Haven't seen any so far that I haven't liked, nice job.
Buleevit.
i love that last drawing. i really do. except the hand just needs a little work. im really impressed with your shading =O
Thanks gaiz, oh and it's tablet stuff kirbopher
