Hello Artist's Corner
My name is robcham and

I draw some people sometimes




and comics








and some of these crazy doodle things I like to do









Hi


I am on a road of self improvement and wish to learn from you fine folks of AC

Robcham

there were some threads in SE++ I made where we just made comics
here are some involving Munkus Beaver!





and fletcher!






and rolo!

Usagi

Rob you are a treasure of the highest order

Robcham

thanks

Robcham

I also draw on stuff

like my shoes


my hat


my bag


and other things which I don't have a photo of right now


and I tried silk screening this design but it turned out bad

Tam

What is with these newcomers who are better than me

I'll give you crits when I'm off work, Rob

and they will be brutal

Stupid Mr Whoopsie Name

I love your doodle stuffs!

but I look up to you and you are better than me at composition and coloring

Your comics are too crowded. You need to learn to utilize space and compose objects in it better

that's right

put that into your pipe and smoke it

DROP AND GIVE ME TWENTY (doodles) MAGGOT

Seriously, the only thing I don't like about this is the girl's head in the lower right hand corner. That aside, this is just a brilliant piece of work to me.

Tam

In all seriousness, you've got a nice Japanese sort of philosophy to the stuff like Mars picked: lots of little details that should be looked at individually.

But also like Mars said, throwing that tonal drawing of the girl in an otherwise flat piece cuts the rhythm

Usagi

as a not-really-arty person, I like the girl in the corner because it looks like she's imagining all of that crazy stuff

Tam

which would be fine if he hadn't drawn her in a radically different style

Robcham

okay!
so basically I should avoid too much of a contrast?

Robcham

so if I drew the girl more like this maybe?


or this

I'm elaborating on your points, you simpleton!

Rob: Yeah, you don't want to go 90% one style and then just throw in another- it clashes. Also, if the girl really is thinking all that stuff, you don't need the bubble with ellipses and you want to move little skull man so he's not covering any part of her. If you're going to try and color that last piece in the future, try looking through Iruka's work. Her palette might work for you.

Robcham

I really need help with coloring

These two really remind me a lot of Harry Clarke, one of my fav artists. Nice work!

The line drawing girl is very nice, but her irises are pretty different in their size. The colored portrait isn't bad, but looks a little messy as far as the strokes go.

Tam

well then make like a scientist and experiment

edit: god dammit, ND, you and your ninja posts

I have with these cartoons I've been drawin









good or bad?

Tam

Try arranging simple flat colors like the Jack and mission hill ones, but use big chunks of flat tone rather than custom brushes. Also, try cleaning up your lines.

ManonvonSuperock

Your dense drawings remind me of Seth Fisher in a way.

Robcham

I'm bookmarking that site
it's awesome

ManonvonSuperock

Yeah, sucks the dude died in '06. Fell off a balcony in Japan.

If you want to see some of his published stuff, I strongly suggest: Batman: Snow, Fantastic Four: Big in Japan (He draws my absolute favorite Thing), and Green Lantern: Willworld.

You mentioned needing help coloring, my two cents on that:

Choose the darkest dark and the lightest light in your image (other than your inks) without going all the way to black or all the way to white. If you can stay within a 35% or so range of the full value scale, you'll end up with a well keyed color scheme, which I think'll compliment your dense lineart well.

Don't just darken your colors for shadows, but use lower saturated, often cooler colors in regards to hue.

Use the same coloring method throughout the whole image. (Don't use hard edges/flats on characters airbrush/soft edges in bground or vice versa)

Especially with such strong lineart, allow your colors to ignore the local boundaries of objects. For example, the shadow on a character may be the same color as the shadow on the floor adjacent to it.

Robcham

tragic

and thank you for the advice

Robcham

so I tried emulating what I liked from Seth Fisher into a self portrait
kinda cropped it a little

I'll try to fix the Rob Cham part and color the rest of it

[tons of badass pics]

Those are wikid sick. I used to do that sort of stuff on my fabric pencil cases at school. It was all Dragonball z stuff though Ever tried doing images with liquid paper and pen? It works really well.

Robcham

hi5 winter_combat_knight! I used to do that, too

I shall try that liquid paper and pen thing
but like what does it look like and such?

RubberAC

Im always envious of artists that can draw such detailed and complex things
i don't know how you figure out where to start
I love your shoes and your hat and bag and they make me jealous

DirtyDirtyVagrant

If, someday, I can be half this good, I will consider myself a success.

Your lineart is incredible. Everything is so loose and simple, but it still looks so finished.

Robcham...robcham.....why does that username sound so familiar?

Loomdun

there is that one asian person in the SE++ forum that had R-cham something inbetween

ManonvonSuperock

man up! and post more stuff in here.

Robcham

Hello AC how I've missed you

went on a roadtrip the last 3 days
I worked on this for the AC Challenge thread


I decided to do something else since I'm kinda not happy with it

ManonvonSuperock

that luchador pic is rad as fuck.

Robcham

thanks

Leggraphics

I really like some of your drawings including the chess players and the shoes.

ManonvonSuperock

i think you'd do better to work on clean mechanical drawing for your buildings and stuff. it'd make for a good contrast against the organic dude.

Robchan you glorious bastard I want more! More I say!
