Are we going to just forget that Leon's palate can also just be changed with other male characters and there will be no noticeable change?

If you are doing realistic/semi-realistic anatomy, you only go so far in modifications.

But yes, I agree that if your character can be distinguished based on silhouette alone, then it is a great design

Is there an art course or book that shows how to shade like the GOATS but in digital? When I use fountain pens and map pens on paper, it's not hard. When I try to do it in digital I don't know what the fuck to do to get same results. In fact, mangaka who do digital art have dogshit shading.

Use screen tones and layer them to achieve variations in value. You can buy these from any Online art supply shop that sells japanese stationary although they are going to be expensive since most Manga artists just use digital tools for the same purpose.
Clip Studio is the stardard for this as it comes prepackaged with an extremely large library of templates.

this entire thread is retarded. its called rendering not shading. older mangaka used ink and zippatone/toner packs for everything. modern shitters use clip studio and blender and similar programs for it. some do mix of trad and digital. for soem artists theyll render with copic for grey tones or if doing color pages. others bust out gouache or water color.

the issue with modern digital versions is they arent even inking the hatching or other lines. its all with digital brushes so you get the same look and generic linework with no variations. across so many no talent 3d tracers, it blends together and gives the modern shit look to all manga. the lack of imperfections in the linework and hatching is the major imperfection of modern manga. it also leads to the faux amateur look gege and chainsaw guy do. they are blatant 3d models and objects for everything but the chicken scratch lines and shit looking art let people forgive it somehow. like they believe its just bad artist and not deliberate shitter.

Sorry, I just noticed that, in my advice concerning symmetry, I linked the wrong post. I meant to link this one >>7153669

>>7165689
I totally wasn't expecting the subject matter of this one. Ironically, I think that a dragon being used as a mount would have taken me by surprise a little less.

I really like the flowy manner in which you drew the hair of your characters: the somewhat whirly arrangements of their strands blowing in the breeze are quite pleasant, and they subtly but effectively communicate a welcomed hint of vitality in an otherwise dormant scenery.

Also worthy of note is the level of three-dimensionality achieved through the painstaking amount of detail involved in your construction method, a most-desirable trait that has come to be expected from your work.

On the subject of the main feature of this piece, that's quite a girthy sauropod... perhaps just a bit too girthy.

I'm no paleontologist, and I hardly ever attempt to draw animals, so I'm mostly going by my memories of conventional depictions of dinosaurs and dragons, but I get the impression that your sauropod's torso might have come out a little too corpulent in relation to its legs.

https://svpow.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/puertasaurus-sandow-4big.jpg

Of course, one can only make educated guesses regarding the complexions of these long-extinct creatures, but, judging by the following article, the bodies of sauropods in particular might have been akin to those of imaginary hybrids with elephant-like torsos and elongated, hippo-like legs:

thank you for your insight as always. made some adjustments but honestly I don't know if they helped lol. the eyes still feel off to me
>>
>>7169678
>made some adjustments but honestly I don't know if they helped

They definitely did, in my opinion. I can notice that you chose to raise the outer end of the foreground set of lashes instead of lowering that of the furthermost one, and I think I can guess why: you didn't want to sacrifice Alessio's original foxy expression by de-emphasizing the curving of his eyes, and, by extension, the upwards push of his smiling cheeks. In any case, the gist of my recommendation was to double-check the symmetry of both sets of lower eyelashes, a piece of advice that you followed rigorously and to good effect.

Just make sure to raise slightly both the crease of the furthermost upper eyelid and its corresponding eyebrow. By adding a few extra pixels of vertical width to the area in question, specifically until the levels pertaining to said features are in parallel alignment with those of the eyelashes and the mouth, Alessio's facial balance would be technically irreproachable.

Regarding your discomfort with Alessio's eyes, my best supposition is that it might have something to do with the current amount of distance between them: provided that you intend to follow the proportion guideline of "the width of an eye" as the degree of separation, the distance between a character's eyes in a 3/4 view should encompass, at the very least, the foreshortened width of the furthermost one. In other words, unless your stylistic choice is to depart from said guideline, the eye furthest from the viewer in this portrait of Alessio is a bit too wide to accurately convey the general perspective of his face.

My suggestion is that you attempt to narrow down slightly the width of the eye in question by "squishing" it, just until the distance between both eyes is broad enough to contain the furthermost one.

Apart from that, I would suggest that you accentuate the presence of Alessio's testicles, given that their current size is a bit too understated, even for a prepubescent boy.

Post facial expressions.

>>
>>7170199
Wtf, don't just jump straight to lineart. Download a program where you can have multiple layers. Create a sketch layer first. That fox is a combination of multiple basic shapes. If you would start drawing a head then draw an entire ball, not just the chin. Begin with a sketch marking where a head, torso, arms, hands would be and focus on getting proportion and likeness right. Don't bother with cleanliness just make it look simillar and appealing. After that you can create a new layer on top, lower the opacity on a sketch layer and trace making fast swipes and clean lines. A good workflow with layers really matters if you want to make your drawing process more controllable and fun

please help me anons, I am SUFFERING as I am trying to make my comic.

My problem are the panels. My comic depends on very autistically spaced Alan Moore style panels. It's all divided very rididly with no stylistic element leaving the panel (pic rel).

I cannot for the life of me get clip studio to do that. Tried reading through the documentation - nothing, tutorials are focused on more "manga", wacky styled comics.

I am willing to learn any digital tool. How do I make autistically spaced Alan Moore panels?

Dave Gibbons, literally the artist from the watchmen, has made videos about how to do paneling using clip studio paint.

Dave Gibbons got/gets a shitload of praise for Watchmen, dude. They're both highly lauded for the project because both of them brought their A-game and made something really memorable and compelling. And John Higgins did the colors, by the way, so don't go ranting about misplaced praise.
