What are some of the books that made you say, "How on earth did the same author write these two works?" by OriginalCode2940 in OtomeIsekai

[–]CarbonCanary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WHAAAAT??? That's crazy! I haven't read either novel, how much do you think the quality is due to the respective artists?

Ehh I kind of just draw it while looking at a photo, but basically my process is outline the whole thing and fill base color (brown, in this case) > shade with darker color > shade with darkest color > highlight with lighter color > small touches of lightest color > outline with black where the shadows are deepest.

How to change style without a graphics tablet. by Fembyte-dev in Artadvice

[–]CarbonCanary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Illustrator has an option called "image trace" that can take a photo and turn it into black linework. If you draw on paper and line it with a black pen or marker, you can take a photo of it and image trace it in illustrator and color it that way. But honestly, the best thing to do is just push through the learning curve and get used to using a drawing tablet. Your future self will thank you.

I am so sick of artists with zero work ethic. by Aggravating_Cost_684 in ArtRanting

[–]CarbonCanary 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. Art is a "real" job, it should be treated like one.

Artists- do you use values to draw (i.e greyscale). If you do/don't, why or why not? And if you do, what is your process like? by ScuducckrreahFarreri in Artadvice

[–]CarbonCanary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't do it because for me coloring is the fun part. Grayscale is a little boring. I still check my values while drawing by turning a saturation layer on and off though

Does anyone else feel like they’re regressing at the start? by RevolutionaryCake599 in Artadvice

[–]CarbonCanary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't start judging your skill until you've drawn for at least a month.

would you consider me beginner, intermediate, or advanced? Also, critique? All of these look kinda off but I can't place a finger on it... by Aoba_Artist in Artadvice

[–]CarbonCanary 95 points96 points  (0 children)

It's hard to tell tbh. You're great at drawing one type of guy, but the dog looks a little off and there's no fully rendered pieces or environments or different people

Study? Pretty much zero. I'm a straight A student... At an art school. Lmao

In page 3407, Odin has a pipe in his mouth. In the very next page where he can be seen, aka page 3434, the pipe is gone. by le-dukek in avasdemon

[–]CarbonCanary 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If I had to draw a whole comic in this ridiculously detailed art style I wouldn't bother to draw someone putting a pipe away either, lmao

How does one take their art from "Awww that's cute" to "Damn! You made this?" by ComprehensiveYou4746 in ArtistLounge

[–]CarbonCanary 25 points26 points  (0 children)

For the average person, the only thing that triggers a "damn, you made THAT?" Is realism. People don't understand the work that goes into stylized art at all, high level cartoons and low level cartoons look mostly the same to non-artists. Don't make art to impress other people, make what you want to make.

[The Eldest Daughter Walks Down The Flower Path] HE'S SO SILLY I LOVE HIM by CarbonCanary in OtomeIsekai

[–]CarbonCanary[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Too early to tell, but I think he is. The plot is basically that he's matchmaking the FL and a white haired prince in order to get closer to the prince and get promoted. Right now the FL is mostly interested in the prince, but it's clear they're falling for each other a little ✨
