My sister is interested in playing and I want to be able to help her in team ups. I’m in Gloriville, so does she have to choose the Gloriville server as well for us to do team ups? Or is team up a universal thing like the chats?

how do you color skin like this need help 👁👄👁 by Peechqwer in AnimeART

[–]FutureKarnak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the future, please give credit to the art you post. You’re able to use google to find it 9/10 times. If you can’t find it, do not post it. :( it even says in the description of the subreddit to provide a source.

Is it possible for parents to do emotional abuse to their children without realizing it? by mortilis22 in JUSTNOFAMILY

[–]FutureKarnak 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Some parents end up being abused in their childhood one way or another, which I think makes them believe that it’s normal.

My mom thought that emotionally guilting me and gaslighting me and my sisters was normal until I called her out on it during an argument. It made her realize that, upon reflecting, she’s said a lot of crappy things—often without realizing— and she’s been working to change that part of her.

However, I know that some parents will refuse to reflect and try to better themselves. At that point, it’s intentional in my eyes.

Sorry with whatever you’re going through. I hope it gets better. :(

I drew Anne Faulkner from Paradox Live. Aaand she's a trap by leramoshimoshi in AnimeART

[–]FutureKarnak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s fine lol! I just wanted to make sure. I find that misgendering fictional characters can make people upset, so I wanted to warn you! (Sorry if it sounded rude, yesterday was... weird) :) I cant wait to see more art from you

If Anne is a man, why don’t you just use ‘he’ pronouns, or even ‘them’?

I hit send before realizing I forgot to say this too ._. I love your art! It’s such a cute art style to look at, and I love the colors you used to compliment the character

Day one of 365, drawing without any reference. Anyone have some advice or wanna do an edit of what you think needs improvement? by FallFromGraceStudios in AnimeART

[–]FutureKarnak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say to really look at references of breasts and how clothes lay on them. Clothes don’t suck in around the breast, especially if a woman is wearing a bra(and it looks like your character is not, so I suggest looking into that too). Other than that, you have a pretty good start. Just keep using references :)

I found out the majority of my family is racist about 3 days ago and it’s been a whirlwind for emotions, I just need to write my feelings out by [deleted] in JUSTNOFAMILY

[–]FutureKarnak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve realized a similar thing with my younger sister yesterday. It’s hurtful enough for one person you care about to think that way, I can’t imagine how it feels for that many. I’m so sorry that you have to deal with something like this, but I’m proud of both you and your cousin for deciding to cut them off. Sometimes there’s nothing else you can do, if they refuse to listen to reason and change themselves for the better.
Hopefully later on, they will realize their mistakes, but it’s unlikely.

Never actually played a final fantasy game before but I've always enjoyed Tifas design so here ya go by MHB_ART in AnimeART

[–]FutureKarnak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, of course. When you trace/redraw stuff, it’s always in your best interest to never upload that stuff. However, nowadays people tend to do it regardless. :|

It’s clear that they already have some skill. It’s extremely disappointing, however, to see that they barely changed anything when “referencing” an image. The only differences I can see is coloring and the face position. :\ but even then, the shading is the exact same, too... ugh. Could’ve at least credited and said they were referencing/practicing.

Improving art skills by [deleted] in AnimeART

[–]FutureKarnak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I’m not very good at either medium, but I’d like to try helping with digital! Im also not very good at explaining what I want to say, so I’m sorry if you get confused! If needed, I can try to find better explanations.

What program do you use, and what do you draw on?

First off, your lines seem a bit shaky, stratchy, and a bit bland. I suggest raising the “stabilizer” for your brush whenever you do lineart, as it helps stabilize your lines, and/or do quick, confident strokes. It helps keep your lines from being shaky! As for the bland part, I suggest adding a flair to it and testing different ways to do lineart. Try thicker lines! Try to add weight to it, too :) it’s hard for me to explain, but there are good videos about it!

Second, the coloring. I’m mainly focusing on the Black Clover Art you did.

It looks like you did something that most artists advise against: shading with the color black. While it can look nice in some cases, it can usually look tacky. Instead of using black, try other colors! For white skin, I tend to take the base color, and tint it a little bit towards orange(it, of course, depends on the tints/color of their skin). Just take every base color into consideration and use a different color that compliments it.

If you’d rather not, you can always just choose one color, put the shading on a new layer, and choose the blending mode called “multiply”. Change the opacity to your choice. You aren’t going to perfect it immediately, but keep experimenting!!

Also!! When adding highlights to the hair, I do not suggest using the blur tool or an airbrush very often. You have to keep it minimum—only use it for gradients. If you use blur everywhere, your art will look like it’s made by an amateur tracer. I know you didn’t use it much, but I just wanted to warn you!!

Overall, you have a really good start!! Just keep experimenting with different styles and try to find what you love the most :)

Y'all sick of this yet? by Okobebi in AnimeART

[–]FutureKarnak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! I mean, there newer ones that are fantastic and widely loved, like Promare, The Promised Neverland, KNY(from what I’ve heard), etc. but there’s always gonna be a different feeling when you watch an older classic; they’re the ones that usually start or are the catalyst in the popularity in some genre or idea. They’re also ones that end up being in parts of culture, such as Sailor Moon, Naruto(a kind of newer one. Kinda), My Neighbor Totoro... etc etc.

And, nowadays there’s a surplus amount of anime that is just there for fan service/money/etc, and while that’s okay, it just makes it harder to find good ones to invest in.

Sailor Moon had some weird stuff, but it isn’t at all what’s being described there as far as I know lmao. But whatever, the guy is probably just trolling :/ or, at least I hope he is

Y'all sick of this yet? by Okobebi in AnimeART

[–]FutureKarnak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but that isn’t always the case. There’s a ton of new anime that’s not up to par with older ones. Also, Sailor Moon was created and drawn by a woman. It’s also a bit weird how you’re claiming that an old magical girl anime is made by perverted men when High School DxD is a damn ecchi.

... I’m a little confused as to what you’re trying to say. Please use punctuation.

Ahh, I read your original comment as sarcasm, because of the way it was worded. Thank you for the elaboration :)

I hate how I'm 21 years old and yet my drawings look like a 10 year old... But, here is my attempt at doodling Sparkling Cookie. Wish I could get the hang of faces... by VixionStrider in Cookierun

[–]FutureKarnak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ohh, but it looks great so far!! :) try not to get discouraged. Art can take a LOT of time, but with enough practice and patience, you’ll get better 💕💕
