I draw an interesting silhouette first then see if I can give the character logical construction and then detail it.

It looks flat and lifeless because you're shading with hues that look appropriate from the start. Vibrant and lively hues look really wonky before you sort it out

Of course, as long as you're not using social media with your real name, people won't find out who you are. If you want to use paypal for commissions just use an alias.

>>3056315
What payment methods does that use? Because I heard paypal bans nsfw artists.

of course it's a true mark of craftsmanship
mastering one of the artistic skills involved would be a mark of craftsmanship, whatever that means.
although game dev, in many forms, requires and combines many other arts, it doesn't mean it's superior.
it's still a unique, incomparable format of its own, like all the other individual arts, albeit a tremendously flexible one.
the potential of it is totally massive, but really ask yourself: how many games even reach for that potential? unfortunately i can think of very few. how many games are just cliche-machines? mechanically, in structure, in writing... that's unavoidable in anything i guess. sturgeons law and whatnot.
the ones that do reach, even a little bit, for the actual artistic potential of games, holy fuck. they are life-changing, as great art is. but at this point in time there are very few games that even try to reach for that.
so i don't think it's worth comparing really. if you're learning art on the path to mastering all the game dev skills... well, good luck, do your best

Wild. What's with the shape of her head?

I'm not talented enough to make my own yet but I can post someone else's

>>3059036
Somewhat. You don't need to abandon everything in your life to get gud, but (just like any serious skill) you will need to make time in the day for it.

>>3059036
i think if you really need to do that you may as well just give up, because you're a filthy consumer grade human anyway, art is above you

lol just draw porn loli's on twitter its easy

Explain in detail how robe fabric should be drawn.

not terribly creative/original

We're at the point where someone could deliberately copy and paste a "reference" on canvas, use a few smudge brush strokes and add a fuckton of filters and sell it as a "tribute".

There's no integrity anymore do whatever you fucking want.

For as long as there has been fotography artists including pros have been using references. /ic/ is often very uptight about these sort of things and they start yelling it's copying or sometimes flat out tracing. Your post seems like a normal use of a reference.

>is it ok to do what artists have been doing for thousands of years?

Gee OP I don't know, it sounds degenerate....

What did you have for breakfast?

What's wrong with your arm?

>successful method
This is your problem right here. You should be looking to fail a lot, that's what you need to do to get good. If you haven't drawn a skeleton from every angle ten thousand times, don't even think about being good.

>>3059677
Mmm, maybe I should explain it better

>Method A: You do it this way
>Method B: You do it that way

Method B will get you faster to improvement than Method A will. If drawing skeleton from every angle ten thousand times is the fastest methond than any other out there to improve then I will follow that one.

Don`t try to reinvent the wheel, study figure drawing before you get into anatomy to get a feel for what muscles are important.

To do studys you need to know what you are studying for.

Cacani, fool. It's the F U T U R E. Worth getting over the learning curve.

i use flash cs6, and its great for beginners, but you draw with vectors not pixels.

TVPaint is currently the best

Drawing's fine, but my personal preference is for fan art to at least capture a likeness of the character. Your drawing doesn't quite achieve that.

Capturing likeness doesn't necessarily mean drawing on model, but there should be some aspects of her that makes us instantly recognize Asuka as Asuka, and not your character cosplaying as Asuka.

When you are unable to do that, it reflects a weakness in your methods, or a weakness in observation, or an inflexibility to your design sense, or even a lack of understanding of the character's personality. That last thing is going to be more off-putting to fans of the character than any technical shortfall.
