>>2925091
not to be mean but why are you posting multiple relatively minor updates to an image in such a small time frame?

still, i notice you're getting some stairstepping in your lines, if you're not using a stabilizer you might want to try lazy nezumi, it has an option that can fix the weird jagginess of lines that were drawn zoomed out even if you choose not to use any of it's actual line stabilization tools. also go through your brushes and make sure the quality settings are set as high as they can go (unless you're running on a slower machine that can't handle them)

>>2925131

its a bad habit, mostly because I take multiple breaks since I do my actual job and use painting as a buffer for when I get side-tracked

I'll check out nezumi. its a problem for sure. thank you for the tips, friend.

Me too. Joking aside, how do I fix this? I've heard this exact same word a lot, so I'm curious what you have to say beyond it.

>>2925079
Fingers, my dude. Take a good look, they don't bend like that unless an Italian is trying to send a message back to someone's family.

>>2925186

gestures, gestures, gestures! lines that are fluid and curved create a much more lively doodle

>>2925195
But the age range I'm drawing has little to no fat, so it's just limbs and nice flatness. Limbs don't bend beyond joints. I understand that you probably mean the pose, but I don't see an alternative for "reaching to pull off other kneesock while propped up on elbow".

Does anyone else ever feel like they're a fucking joke of an artist and the good ones you draw are purely by luck?

It's not about body fat, it's about posing. What you're talking about is surface detail, what we're talking about is how the underlying structure is arranged. Even with a scrawny character, there should be a fluidity to the pose or it won't feel natural.

>>2925218
All right then, I'll finish this one up, have a drink, and try that out on the next loli. Thanks.

1. Cut that out with the purple blot on the shoulders. I understand why it's there, but it's done so badly stylistically. Look up your favorite artists to see how they colored shoulders.

2. Hard edges. 100% Opacity and hardness, go over contour again.

3. The color pallet is dead, your choices of color make the skin plastic. On the color picker, never go down direcrly for varying darkness, make a C while you pick color.

4. Legs freakishly long. If the hands are at the midpoint of the thigh, imagine where her hip would be.

Imagine yourself in the same position. Or, better yet, put yourself in the same position. Do it in front of a mirror, or take a picture of yourself with a timer in the same pose.

Also think about why she's in that particular pose. Why wouldn't she be standing? Sitting with her knee(s) pulled up to her chest? Why is she on her elbow?

Last one, this is a WIP so be brutal

>>2925400
Well, I was originally going to give her prosthetic legs, and have her getting up from being tripped, but I decided I had no good ideas for limbs, so I switched it to her getting up from lying down to pull off kneesocks. The idea is that most people lie down and strip a bit to masturbate. Her shirt is the sad panda, and I'm adding a pillow and Comic LO.
>>2925460
Much better in terms of construction, very appealing face, and so on. There won't be any regression memes based off this. But why the dead bird?
>>2925471
Nothing really wrong with it, but the size of the cards is inconsistent. I like your style.

Then why wouldn't she be lying on her back, pulling her knee up to her chest? What is she lying on? If it's the floor (with her stiff pose, that's what it looks like at the moment), why would she masturbate on the floor? If it's a bed, there should be more give around her weight-bearing areas (elbow, hips, etc.).

>>2925595
Not everyone does things for big reasons. Sometimes they just do something as a means to express something.

Something like "I like cute girls."

I personally want to do both, but if someone just wants to draw cute girls for their own enjoyment, who am I to tell them they're wrong?

>>2925583
Oh wow, I haven't seen you do much in color! I'm envious, truly.

Lines are too consistent and thin in weight, giving it a very superficial, coloring book feel. I don't have a problem with much of your construction, except maybe the back of her head, but the rendering is very plain as well.

>>2925583
I'm probably going too low saturation (I've always had a low saturated style, I just dig it, studied too much Hyung Tae Kim back in the day).

I need to study up on lights on body again, it's lost on me now. The lines are blurry because I didn't realize I was drawing on 200x200 and blew it up double size...

She'll be on the floor, yes, and I expect others to have enough of an imagination or not care about why she's on the floor. I don't know how to satisfy your needs that well, no offense. As for her pose, there are shortcomings, but it gets the idea of "reaching for her knee" across while exposing her body, doesn't it?

Your style seems inspired by oldschool disney (the eyes anyway, reminds me of ariel). Don't shade with one directional lines like that, look up directional lines to learn about shading to highlight contours of the face. If you'd rather go for cartoony, block it in, just do not use scribble lines like you've done. And unless that hair? is covered by fishnets, don't ever color like that.

>>2925619
What I'm getting (and simultaneously trying to make you understand) from this exchange is that perhaps the pose looks stiff and unnatural because you haven't thoroughly thought out the situation behind the scene you want to illustrate, so the finished product doesn't make sense or feel organic.

>>2925671

This is amazing, yet somehow feels off. I can't pin point exactly what it is but something about the face is throwing my off. Not an issue of the structure or anything, but the likeliness of the character seems off. Only other thing I can say is it's kind of a shame that you put all that effort into the face/hair but not as much with the rest. I still really like it though.

Also do you have a website you don't mind sharing?

>>2923032

So here is what I did
>Make her head a little larger (since the neck is too big and women usually have 2 head length shoulders, not 3 like men)
>Aligned the right eye (the eyes are around 1 eye of distance from the other bruh)
>Gave her less chin and jaw
>Positioned the head a little lower.

idk if you like it but it may help you getting that 100% percent. ask for second opinions too tho.

Not trying to be argumentative, but there should be a bit of stiffness since this character is a wooden doll, so the pose should be a little off BUT the proportions should not be (like the eye thing and the neck being too long)

No you have your priorities right, construct THEN render. Rather git gud with forms first than render "polished" turds.

That being said, the only thing that needs fixing is the neck placement. Necks aren't in the middle of your skull anon, it rests closer to the back of the head.

>>2925697
Could add more to the hairline and the left part of the hair doesn't quite seem to be attached to the head. Folding on the clothes needs to be reworked a bit.

>>2925697
Her right cheekbone should be closer to nose level. Tinker with her mouth and chin more, you can make it look better. Also, make more sense out of her hairline.

>>2926370
uh, i can't believe i didn't see that.
I was originally drawing her on a different pose, and i guess i forgot to adapt the neck (tho i might still not have worked on the previous pose)
Thank you.
Still, nothing to say about the construction/painting in general? that's what i'm more worried about

>>2926292

>>2926504
Oh, nono i painted it directly with colours, i also can't go from grey scale to colour properly.
For the record tho, there's a trick i got from a twitch stream (don't remember from who)
If you are working on Photoshop, go to
>View-> Proof Setup -> Custom
Then, where it says 'Device to simulate' choose
>Working Gray - Dot Grain 20%
Hit Ok, and from now on, you can swap from a grey scale to colour view with Ctrl+Y.
You can even work with colours while on grey scale view, because you aren't modifying the colours themselves

>>2926514

lighting setup have inconsistencies, if the shadow starts on the middle of her nose as it comes from the right, her hair should behave the same

the brights that come from the BG reflected light should follow form and be stopped by previous masses like the hair on the face or the tits on the arm, as it would "cast" shadow of that rim light

I will say this, though. All of your lines have the same weight to them. Hard for me to tell what you want people to focus on.
Also, the hip area looks a bit awkward. Hard for me to tell where the iliac crest and the head of the femur is. Almost like the area between these two points was inflated with air.
Good shit otherwise.

Thanks for your reply

>>2927041
Depends on what you're after, if backgrounds try to do more studies, find backgrounds that you like and re-draw or reference them. Study construction.

For the body I'd say just do more gesture study, maybe do 20 60 second gestures a day, just so you can get your poses to look more fluid.

Everything besides that is just draw more, if you're looking to break your comfort zone I advise doing lineless finished stuff.

when drawing porn i tend to like to channel the more cartoony side of onta/doxy, some fishine, lotta budu-nsfw

i'm not really into many artists who're known mostly for having worked on video games save like maybe old bengus when he worked traditional and akihido yoshida i guess, OOOH, and kinu nishimura, how could i forget

Placement of nose and mouth is off. Nose it too long (gives off weird bird person vibes) also resting too shallow on face - makes it look pinched. Bring the bottom of the nose up a bit so there's more room between it and lips.
The eye is also slanted up a bit too much, and a bit too high (pupil is usually in line with the bridge of nose).
Neck also looks a bit wiggly and weird in the front there. Define neck muscles more etc.

understand color temperature, but yeah you can color grade an image using a gradient map or curves on an adjustment layer. Make sure your values are correct tho obv.

Just looks panted to be honest. He could have started greyscale and added colour to it, then painted on top a bit, or just painted it normally. The end result isn't due to some magic method though.

If you mean the skin or lightning effects, it's pretty easy to do such effects in CSP. The original isn't even that good, actually, aside from the the golden and blue fabric. Just use SMOOTHER WATERCOLOR AND OIL BRUSHES with slightly tweaked settings.

It's way off perspective from the upper half of her body. That's not how you use perspective lines.

>>2928345
To elaborate, you set the horizon way too low as evidenced by looking at her shoulder and hat area, looks like you just set a line and said fuck this and scribbled in some 'perspective grid' for the feet. Her body is learning too rightward and looks fucked up with those legs.

There's something about this composition that leads my eyes out of the picture, and I can't focus on the subject.
I realy like the theme otherwise, with the dead/dying hummingbird, flowers and all.

Critique? Have problems with the one on the right but not exactly certain how to go about it.

>>2927894
you are blind then. the problem doesn´t lie with the pigeon toes, but the fact that the feet are complete pancakes lacking form.

Head is massive, left foot is angled downwards and a bit small. Right leg looks wonky with the way the thighs taper into the knee and then grow back for the calf. Torso leaning a bit too much backwards I think.

All valid. Thanks anon. It's supposed to be based on this character.

c-cute!

nevermind i figured it out

Looks really good. You used perspective really well imo and it looks really appealing.
What looks kinda off though is her armpit on the right. Im not too familiar with the anatomy but her deltoid seems to big on the backside, additionally we should be able to see part of her scapula. The breast to the right (her left) looks a little wonky atm, looked more solid before but i really like how you draw breasts especially the left one looks nice.
And it would be cool to see you use more lineweight.

I love your drawing and I hope you post here more often. Cheers

I see what you mean for the left breast, finished the clothed & shaded version in the meantime and it seems fine in it, though I should still try to improve it a bit in the nude version.

I've been working almost non-stop on a 3D school short movie project since September so I had to put it on a hold for now. Though I'm technically still kinda making some progress since I actually chose the same story to work on. Also allows me to improve more the scenes and characters.

>>2929102
Looking really good there senpai. I dabble in Zbrush to sketch out ideas too every so often but getting technical with the meshes and textures is just too much. Looking forward to seeing you around more often.

>>2928223

Thanks anon, I did get the feeling that I probably went overboard, especially with the middle one.

Perspective is crazy fucked. I'll try to fix it in digital someday in the future when I'm not as much of a shithead.

Can I get some tips about drawing cute girls in cel shading style?

Had advice that told me to slow down and carefully render out my values and stuff instead of rushing to finish stuff every time, but I'm not sure if I'm on the right track or not (WIP)

new thread >>2929658

>>2929422

Hm. You might want to check the balance on the girl. Either contraposto her right leg or move it farther to right to evenly distribute her weight.

>>2929191

ilu bb pls don't stop
