I've been trying to make my lineart look a bit more natural instead of clean and stetile.

So I was trying to use Inkscape for my original design but I realize it lacked a lot of features Illustrator had, so I ended up redrawing and tracing it on Illustrator. Illustrator is still the best imo.

I think is coming along nicely, I need to shade it more and correct some pathing and lines, see if I can modify the colors without losing my vision and done.

It has been almost a year since I did anything with Illustrator and I really like how its coming along... If it weren't for my job I would totally do more art.

EDIT: Just finished! What you kiwifrens think?

Not gonna lie, this looks pretty fucking bad. Don't draw anime and start with realism before jumping into stylized shit.

I never draw anime, I just wanted to do some fast easy draw in order to test Inkscape capabilities.

Share your thoughts on why it was bad though and will be appreciated. I was going with some heavy lines, heavy shading style.

Another Anakin drawing, but it is a practice.

Number 1 reason is because Illustrator is completely the wrong program for drawing anything that isn't a label, graphic arts, typography, etc. You'd be better off doodling in Paint Tool SAI or FireAlpaca, honestly. If you want heavy lines and "heavy shading style" (I didn't see any shading, heavy or otherwise, in your art, unless you're calling that very subtle gradient "shading"), then just do it in a regular art program that doesn't punish you. All this does right now is showcase how poor you and Illustrator are together.

I went to a japanese culture festival and there was a drawing competition, sadly it was about to be over so I had to draw something really fast and ended up looking kind of bad, it was still fun to see what I could come up with on the spot and draw in like 40 minutes

What the fuck are you talking about? Illustrator is the default software to draw comics and anytype of digital art.. Are you retarded?

Show me something you draw then... Back it up bitch!

Dude chill, everyone draws at their own level and doesn't have to be an expert at it especially if it is just a hobby.
I dont think being an asshole about it will make someone want to follow any tips or critisism you give

I disagree, Illustrator isn't the correct program to draw any of these, it is a vector graphic designing program. While it may works okay as a digital drawing program, it's not really good at clipping specific layers in order to feel the celshading of the drawing. Gradient works, but it's really bad for soft shading and only works as a blur for eyes to be specific. You'd rather go with gradient for eyes and hair, but it may works okay with that too.
Illustrator wasn't meant for general drawing, it is a vector specialist. You're better to go with other options that do better job at drawing general art, such as Paint Tool SAI, FireAlpaca, MediBang, Krita, Photoshop, and apps that are specialized with that.
For Manga, you're looking for MediBang, FireAlpaca and Clip Studio Paint. For now you can purchase Clip Studio Paint Pro for $49.99 as the download version, and $59.99 for the package. They are very effective at their job, and I recommend them for both as well.
You're probably misguided, sadly, but use whatever you desired with your graphic tablet or a mouse.

Well yeah, is a software that uses vectors and its not for coloring or shading beyond basics... I do the first design to trace my lines in illustrator then go to Photoshop to color, and jump into Speedgrade if necessary (only if I'm doing composite work, which I didn't in the drawing I shared here)

Also dude are you like shilling for softwares? Fucking torrent that shit, who pays 49 bucks for a software?

Not really misguided, but what the fuck is up with reddit tier elitists art designers in this thread?

I'll do another drawing today and I'll show you guys my method.

 

[NaggotFigger]

No lineart, combination between CSP and Photoshop.

That's really good! How long did it take?

I'm going to congrats you though, you made me do more art and I appreciate the motivationm so here, this is my attempt today:

I started on Illustrator, tracing my drawing, then added the stroke and heavy lines, while also adding some guide shading and basic coloring

Finally on Photoshop just added more light and shading



And the final export. It came out a little rough but I like it when it comes like this... To me is more natural and more my style.




Now, you don't really need to spend hundreds of dollars to do digital art when you can get the software for free and being elitist about it is dumb. You can do really cool shit in MS Paint if you want.

Illustrator and Photoshop are great for doing this kind of things and you can do even more stuff if you put the time.

I'm fucking picasso? Fuck no! But it's passable? yeah, sure whatever, I like it and there are the fundamentals of lighting and proportions., so there's that.

@tigergrinder I'm still waiting for your drawing you faggot! Do some realism shit.

Here are some drawings I've done in the past few months

 

[An Sionnach Seang]

late to the party as always, but I made some very silly edits to a rather passive-aggressive webcomic

A few quick sketches in Procreate I did recently.
