I like it
What medium is this

>>2726000
I like the contrast between him and the thing above his head/background

what the fuck is this piece of SHIT

>>2727619
Spend at least a year or two working with a pencil first. This means regularly drawing, perhaps filling a sketchbook a month. Copy out anatomy books, study the figure, study perspective, study portraiture. Get the pencil moving and build up some basics in draftsmanship before getting a tablet, otherwise your progress will be really slowed down.

>>2727619
It takes like twenty minutes to get used to it. If you can use a mouse, you can use a tablet.

If you're dedicated and already drawing, feel free to get one whenever. It's the jogging shoe problem, isn't it? Get one because you're motivated, not one to motivate you.

>It takes like twenty minutes to get used to it
More like 1-2 weeks to get used to it, and maybe a month before it feels completely natural.

You'd get more responses on /tg/ or Cartographers' Guild. Just sayin'.

>>2727919
Meh, I mainly want stylistic advise, like "This is how you make pretty lakes" sorta shit. Also watercolor people are mah niggas. What the fuck is Cartographers Guild though?

>>2727916
Normally my Maps are all linework, might put some watercolor into it next time. Not a bad idea.

go to /beg/
why do so many ppl make their own threads showing their work and then upload one pic. What are we supposed to tell you other than its some amateur pixel art. jfc

sorry my first time to anything other then /b/ thanks :>

>>2728735
agreed that it is really hard to judge something without other images on hand

at the same time
it's a bit lazy just to complain like a nauseated anus and fall back on some lazy 'amateur pixel' art claim

ANYHOW
Itt's a pretty tonally complex image
and I don't know if that really works with this pixel style

I don't know the intent of this image beyond some sort of quasi furry cute animal that wears make up or something?
DESU I find the attempt at cuteness to be pretty cloying

The eyes don't work ( I assume they are supposed to be closed lids)
in part because the way you are using line to inform the contour of the eyelids & eye sockets doesn't feel right with the way you use tone in the rest of the image

Also, the way that you are trying to use 'cute' forms (very round forms with lots of volume + implied softness)
that way you are trying to inform cuteness is at odds with the square frame.
the hard lines of the edges of the image really clash with the intended roundness (to my eyes)

Like I said
I can't tell the intent of this image

so
when you say
what do you think
I have to ask myself
is this for some indie game?
some commissioned furry forum avatar?
high school art project?
monochromatic flattening of Ocarina of Time villager face?

it's a bit ambiguous

also, don't apologize too much
mistakes are good to make

>>2726607
read the sticky

>>2726607
Just copy his drawings. Master studies, they call it. You gotta copy a shitload of them, but hey thems the breaks.

He actually makes models (I think from clay but I'm not sure) of the characters and rotoscopes them, which is why they have that realistic look to them. I don't know how much he draws on it's own, but there's more to his style than just drawing well.

Good?

-rely less on lines and more on value shifts
-Practice how to effectively place lost and found edges
-Reserve compressed charcoal for finishing touches and large areas of black

That's all i have. K. Keep me posted

Yeah, I've seen those. Really cool, but I really wish I can see a straight start-finish demo of his painting, even if it's a timelapse.

Lots of subtleties that can't be captured with step-by-step tutorial

>>2728280
Hard round brush.

>>2728280
For the most part, just looks like a hard round bush and a hard square brush with opacity bound to tablet pressure.

He might also have a paper texture brush and a hatching brush.

How would they get that pencil look using Sai?

Instead of asking a board that is meant for art critique, call the tattoo artist who gave this to you or the tattoo place itself. You'll get better answers.

try /fit/, a lot of the muscly guys there have tattoos

>>2728260
Wow. The color has peeled off. Is that a sign of a lousy tattoo job?

>>2726206
Autism as in dedication and patience? If that's the criteria, then every successful man and woman in any industry vies for the title of most autistic motherfucker on the face of the earth.

>>2726206
No, just about 30 years of Drawing Every Day mostly from life, nothing autistic about having a solid daily routine.

No, but it helps. Jack Kirby drew in a similar manner, top to bottom like a scanner without any construction.

finish your fucking work before you ask for a critique you cunt.

>>2728411
so i can look back and think ????fuck everything is wrong???????

no

Her belly button is too high.

Impossible to measure
You have a whole fucking lot of variables that will affect your popularity function, and they will interact with one another in unpredictable ways on top of that

How do you define popularity anyway? Number of page views? Number of commissions? Number of autistically overpaid commissions?

A page of a scat porn artist won't have many views, but that doesn't mean he's not making a fucking killing with commissions. Not to mention nobody is gonna "like" his artworks in social networks, etc.

>>2725464
Cannot unsee. Fuck.

You gotta get off the figure drawing hype train. A big group think on this board is that figure drawing(and a lesser extent character design) is the only real art.

You just gotta have fun, but yeah unless you want to make a coloring book out of the drawings there is no market for that stuff.

Relative beginner here, I've got a question for you guys.
What process do you use when making your stuff?
What order do you do things in?

sketch then correct and redraw, start from there
there isn't a mandatory order, but if you do fundies one step at a time you'll learn basics faster

otherwise you will just try shortcuts to fake out how real world behaves

>>2714849
are these threads a reportable offence yet?

By studying cubism of course you dumbfuck.

>>2714851
why should they be

Unless you think Japanese art is some kind of taboo
