I really think we should just keep both these threads combined.

I'm doing a portfolio for an animation school and I have to make 8 characters in the drama/acting category
>Drawings in this category should depict characters expressing a specific emotion or feeling. From reading the character's body language, the viewer should be able to clearly determine the character’s mood or feelings. We recommend you depict two characters relating to one another in a scene.
>Characters should vary in personality, form, shape, and color.

Deadline is 15 March, I'm running on panicmode. Could anyone post style masterposts or something? I'm having a hard time coming up with designs.

My current job involves drawing little comic strips based on my boss's jokes

My boss has a kinda outdated and shittysense of humor

sometimes the jokes are so bad that i just doodle and shade as fast and stylized as possible as a challenge

if anyone is wondering this joke goes like this

-Honey im home!, prepare to make love 5 times
-oh, dear are you really horny?
-nah i brought 4 friends

>>90532557
I laughed

>>90532342
Torracat x OC

>>90532155
really cute
not a fan of those colors though, makes her lifeless
can you make a version where her legs are just slightly bigger? like a few pixels? i think itd be better to still be thicker than the arms

is it bad that i'm taking too long in getting what loomis is teaching me? i'm not exactly rushing things but i feel like it's not sinking in. should i just kill myself now

>>90534358

>Is it bad that I'm taking too long

No, nigga, you take your time learning. You grind until you get it, and you keep progressing. Mastery will take ages but as long as you can get to a point where you're confident with your skill and happy with the results (or happy enough) you're doing fine.

>>90534358
You have at least 50+ years of your life ahead of you, chill.
Even if you won't be a known artist for the next 20 years, you could be renown as an artist as a senior and that's perfectly fine.

>>90535752

Without looking at previous art of yours it's hard to compare. But If you follow Sycra, he explains that it's hard to keep track of your own progress because your own understanding improves, and if your understanding or art and skill are at the same level all the time, you won't feel like you improve much.

That's why you show your art to others for feedback. And why you compare to your old work. And always draw and study.

I'm not very knowledgeable about editing tumblr themes, but I've never seen anything like what you described. You could make 3 seperate blogs and have them all link to eachother. Tumblr makes it easy to switch blogs for uploading content.

No. It's obvious. It's the exact same thing. It's no coincidence someone called them on it.

I was having trouble trying to explain what you could improve so I drew it instead.

First of all, I think you drew your character while you were zoomed in. The line-weight is rather poor and the flow is missing. That and the fact that the detail in the face of the character is too small if you try to look at the entire image at once makes me think you should try to just draw at a single resolution and stick to it until you have the rough lineart down.

Secondly, your character doesn't feel very dynamic. The hands on the hips would imply a chest forward, pelvis forward, or contrapposto position. As it stands, it's neither.

Thirdly, your character lacks volume. The feet should not be pointing in the same direction. Draw from life until you understand 3D forms in your head. Then you can also do a better job wrapping cloth around the form. You're thinking about it, that is good, but you're not quite there yet.

Find yourself a copy or .pdf of Michael Hamilton's "Life drawing - design and invention" or Villpu's drawing manual. They're very good at hammering in the importance of rythm and volume in character drawing.

This is Chipika, she's a Brainoid.
A Brainoid is like an Android, but is controlled by a person's brain. The Japanese use this technology to enhance their survival rate. They don't need to eat, attract diseases, feeling pain, and so forth. They still need to rest their brain to keep full control. They were almost immortal.
That is until Planet X passes earth that killed off most of the brainoids along with half of the humans. Only those who hid underground survived.
But even after surviving the end of the world, they were mostly killed off by the Black Knights. Some of which, were taken to be turned into mindless weapons.
Chipika is the only few surviving Brainoids after hundreds of years. She speaks Japanese.

Her target becomes a very boring and normal man named John. From there she does everything to nudge his life into hell and get him to help cause hell on earth.
