I like the look of traditional watercolor of some comic book's artists and I'd like to achieve something similar digitally. I'm trying out some workflows and I was wondering if there are people out there also trying to do the same ! :) - What I'm currently doing is to create first a "light" background - Then I put some flat colors on a new layer in multiply mode - I add the shadows on a separate multiply layer - Finally I use a new lighten / color dodge layer to make the lights / effects I would love to hear and discuss your specific habits / tips / tricks / favorite brushes ! For now, it feels hard to have consistent results (not ideal for a whole comic page :/ ). And I don't know if it is CSP, but the watercolor brushes I use slow down my computer when I'm working with large brush sizes (and I don't think it is a computer spec issue) Any suggestion for improvement is also very much welcomed !

Can anyone point out the blindspots in my art? I've been trying to learn how to color for a while by following a bunch of tutorials online. But im not sure how to improve from here Can anyone give me any tips or critiques?

I’m wanting to learn both procreate and dream with the goal in making animation one day. are there any videos that can help me get it in the style of the following bruce timm studio ghibili disney

Hello. Trying to figure out how to spot the eye line in comic book pannels. I tried sketching (very poorly) and then placing a blue line where I think the eye line would be. Am I close? Source: Goldie Vance no12 Illustrated by Noah Hayes, Colored by Sarah Stern

I did the color sketch with airbrush and then scanned the image for re-touch/experiment in PS. I think I do a larger painting in some point. What do you think about the background white or red? Red version is the original airbrushed and white is digital version.

I consider myself a beginner and this was definitely a challenge and time demanding. Drawing the head was a big challenge, I struggle a lot with the features, measurements and etc. I also feel like I rushed it a lot, also I did not use reference for the face (which is a mistake imo), but I can say I took some inspiration from Greg Capullo’s head drawings. Drawing the proportions of the body felt easier than the face. I'm using "Figure drawing for all it's worth" and "Drawing comics the Marvel Way" as references for the basic anatomy and proportions. It's stated that the "heroic" proportion would be 8 to 9 heads tall, but my reference (Cbum) is only 7 1/3, give or take, and I did not know how to "translate" his proportions and features to 8 or 9 heads. The photo reference helped me a lot with the placement of the muscles on the upper body because of the size (you know, since CBum is CBum hahaha), the lower body in general feels off though, the legs are weird and round but I did not want to mess up the gesture by trying to fix it, I like his left calf and boot. I don't have much (near 0) knowledge about anatomy but sketching the gesture and comparing with measurements from the books helped a lot when I was constructing the figure. Another problem I had was the hands, I used the envelope method just to place them, but I couldn't do much after that, I sketched them somewhere else to practice, which helped to finish the drawing, since I did everything else before going to the hands. Again, feel free to critique!

Title says it all, it's about a ninja-turtle-like brazilian super hero, and I really need to finish it because it has a time restraint looking good is a necessity, but looking mid would be ok. I'm using references, skills, graphic design skills, Blender, all the jazz, the first one is illustraton 24, the second is an idea of how the cover is going to look like, a background is still yet to be done here, and the third is ilustration 29. I have a lot more and I can show them, if you'd like, I can show everything. but I'll keep up on these 3 first. Thanks beforehand.

can anyone help me with these pictures? I just wanted to know how to make them look as cartoony as possible, thanks!

I am an absolute beginner in drawing. I want to make story comics as a long term hobby. Can anyone suggest a roadmap along with recommended resources that I should look into. Thank you.

I started with a sketch on paper and took a picture of it, and upload it onto procreate and it and colored it

I know when starting out drawing you shouldn’t really focus on developing a drawing style, rather one sort of starts to develop on its own. However, I am trying to actively think about what I do and don’t like regarding characterized drawings. Through this I notice that people who have a style it seems the only things that differentiates the characters they draw are accessories or hair/eye color. Does that mean having a drawing style is really just kind of having Sam’s face syndrome?

I thought I’d post a link to a couple little comics “shorts” I’ve done up. I wrote, illustrated and lettered them all myself. Check em out! https://globalcomix.com/read/5eea9b9c-6144-45bf-9e3a-781e17d6323e/1?utm_medium=GCMobileReaderApp&utm_source=share-release&utm_campaign=matthewmanghi&utm_term=101523

How do improve i used a normal black color pencil

Hello everyone in the 2nd and 3rd panel where it says that if camera moves with the moving object the background will be streamed and vice versa of the 1st I attached. So my question is how to apply this knowledge in making comics I have attached a rough layout on how to use this knowledge I was confused on how to use this knowledge Should we use this as the narrative changes for example when the person was running and the focus was on that person so the background was streaked and when he hits the person the focus shifted towards the person who got hit
