Cartooney Like People

[xBlackAutumx]

I'm playing with a new style right now :3
I'm still kinda tweaking it some...
I colored them using Live Paint in Illustrator


This is me...and it's kinda scary how much it really looks like me and I actually have that outfit too haha and give that face to people a lot

This is my friend Billy I made it for him as a gift (and that is one of the best guitars I've drawn ever)

This is a girl that asked me to draw her (I don’t really know her that well lol) but I liked how it turned out

They're cute. I like your new style, it's very clean and it has that cartoony sort of "sparkle." The only thing with which I take issue is the jaw/chin. It seems too sharply sloped.

WTF, we have the same name. Are you Asian or did your parents spell it with a k just because?


On the art, you could use some proportion work. Since they're stylized on purpose it's okay to have cartooney features, but all figures follow a set of proportions. Start with an egg for a head, another egg for a ribcage and a box for hips. If you'd like a redline, I can provide one.

Well, since it's a cartoon I have to disagree with that theory. Although the style could use a bit more developing, it doesn't seem to need to have realistic proportions.

Alright, the guy needs to have his chest coming out a little farther, he looks like a complete twig, even by the style's standard's. xd His head also needs to come back a little more... work on the head. XD

Other than that, I really like this style, keep it up! 3nodding

Lol me too~
My mom was going to spell it Erica but my dad liked k better. She said it's German, but it also happens to be Japanese. My boyfriend Kazuma actually got to help me pick the kanji for it when he wrote my name out. I remember all these Asian girls kept asking me what my real name was because they thought I was using a nickname XD

Okay, I'll give you a redline. Let me just tinker with PS for a second...

It's not a theory; it's a fact.

Even cartoons have infrastructure that they're built on. Exaggeration is allowed, but a basic structure provides a set of proportions for style to be built upon. Realism was never mentioned.

Alright, I get where you are coming from. No issues there at all, carry on. xd

[Sky Father]

I tried to keep your style in the proportions here. Everything is labeled out for placement. If you take a moment to notice your own body, you'll start seeing curves and angles that you might not have noticed before.

The back of the lower leg curves outward while the upper leg tends to curve forwards. The hips and ribs are usually aligned, such as in a contrapposto pose where the ribs are angled one way and the hips the other. It's all a matter of balancing weight, really. Elbows also fall just short of the end of the ribs; if you hold your arms to your sides, you'll notice that your elbows hit squishy flesh instead of banging against rib bones! ;3

Other than that, not much else to say.

wow thank you biggrin
thats perfect to use for refrence ^^ mrgreen
Thank you for the help with this

[Sky Father]

No problem. I just learned how to do 8 head figures this year in school and it really helps you understand the anatomy and proportions of the body. Applying it to a cartoon is cake. Good luck drawing~
