really bad self-promo, olwturd. Nobody here has ever heard of you or cares about you. Also, you're an Oatmeal wanna-be.

>>3109600
Never heard of him before. Nice colors though

>>3109600
only sad crabs in a bucket hate owlturd

Give me a 40% and I'd get in my knees to thank you.

Maybe they didn't know you sent a tip.

>>3109375
find a poorer artist, they'll thank you just for paying at all

But then what? What's the next fucking step, OP?!

Nothing?

/ic/ is trash and all you'll really get is vague condescending statements like this >>3108320
for the most part. However here are some pointers.
>Please don't make your own thread, post in the draw thread, alt-style thread or the beginner thread. People get really pissy if you make your own and your chances of getting a good crit will be even lower than they already are
As for actual crit here is what stands out to me
>your lines are too shaky and inconsistent which brings your whole drawing down
work on your line confidence by doing basic warm ups every time you draw
>your hands lack the rigidity and structure they need
The fingers look too noodly, try to use a reference for hands. It's quite easy since you can just pose your own hands however you want.
>the arms and legs also lack structure
Obviously your drawing is stylized however it still needs to give the illusion of 3 dimensionality and human anatomy. Learning and practicing real anatomy will help you improve a lot more, think of it as a long term goal. For the short term you could try to focus on the rule of "straights vs curves." When stylizing you should aim to balance your straight lines and curved lines. So for example, the lower part of her left arm just curves in on both sides, if you just curved the top and made the bottom of the arm a strong straight line then the arm would look better.
>line weight is used incorrectly
Line weight can be used to help indicate lighting without the use of color or values. So if you were using it here the side in shadow should have thicker lines than the one in light. It looks like you did the opposite on her butt since it has a thick line where it's being hit by the light and a thinner line when it's in shadow.
>pose is unclear
What exactly is she doing? Looks like she's holding a stack of bills and teasing the viewer? It should be apparent to the viewer at a glance. A strong silhouette would help.

Out of space. Hopefully that was at least somewhat helpful.

I just want to get "good" so the characters I like wont end up forgotten.

But thanks to the horrible dead end wageslaving hours and my horrible uber-normie family that wont be happening, I dont even have talent I have no idea what I am doing.

Iktf

It's sad when there's almost no fanart of your favorite characters or designs.

>>3108012

Nigga chill. Talent doesn't exist, it's about work, lots and lots, and years and years of work. Not just in drawing, but in story telling and writing. So if you're really that passionate, Find a way.

>>3106107
Why don't you just commission that artist? Both of your examples are by them.

>>3106120
I was legit recommended to not get it from her from a well experienced and trusted person so I posted here instead.

>>3106107
This looks like the abomination offspring of typical tumblr angst edge stylings crossed with typical furry stylings. Just look for other artists who're banging out both of these meme styles. It shouldn't be too hard, they're probably the two most popular stylings outside of (((realistic))) animu.

Holy shit this is exactly what I was thinking as I was waiting on this to load. Great minds senpai.

You're almost right. It is a lot of engineering problems aka skill. That's 90% of the work, the rest is the creativity part which also happens to be guess what? The most important part to the result. If they tried the same shit with no technical skill it wouldn't have flown.

Dude, what the fuck is that pic even supposed to be?

>>3108914
its just a representation of my frustration when i start a drawing

i got good news tho, i got started making some drawings, someone told me to just start and go for it and dont expect anything so i did and things actually turned out pretty good.

i can feel the fire, the urge, to create more now and its great, so just having a small break and ill be going hard at it again.

sorry for such a lousy whiny thread tho.. i hope someone else can benefit from my advice

just draw, dont expect good results cause its been awhile, the more drawings you make the more you will see your skills and technique coming back

That's not so much an opinion it's more of just a statement lol

>>3109489
he looks mean too. I feel bad that you have to put up with that kind of bullshit from the felinic jew. On the bright side the banana is a 10/10

>>3109426
baaaad proportions. and super bad measuring. Look at the references carefully and measure out the distance between the breasts and the navel, from the navel to the crouch etc. You're spacing them to short in all of these.

and if you're going to study Proko, go through everything one at a time. I'm more than positive you did not do the whole figure drawing and anatomy course when you jump skipped into drawing that arm. You're not going to learn properly that way.

>>3109426
You really need to work on your gestures and proportions, you shit is stiff as hell, m8.

your stuff stinks

>>3109423
I hate to break it to you, but 200k subs is not going to be enough to make Youtube a fulltime job. You can make a little extra money on the side, but it will not be your job.

>>3109423
The thing about them though is that it takes a good 3 or 5 years for your channel to build up, and that's only if you're doing all those gay chalenges or drawing popular things. Bonus points if you're a artsy girl. But even if your channel has blown up do you really want to be doing that kind of shit for a living. And there's always the risk that your fanbase just moves on to the next channel or youtube fucks your revenue up, then what are you going to do. Maybe if you're good enough you could offer other services like mentoring or gumroad type shit.

I think about making videos all the time because I'd probably enjoy it. But I don't think I'll ever make much, if any, money on it.

>>3109191
Choose something else to do.
Succesful artists love to create art.

>>3109191
If you are implying that artists are out there making more than doctors off Youtube and Pateron bux I can tell you emphatically that that number is almost zero.

Looks pretty neat except the shoe soles

I didn't know what to do with those, so I kinda just went for it, ha
