fuck your smiles i didnt agreee to this faggot shit. Green is the one i tried on.

Is there any place to learn to render very light skin, I can do nigs/brownies but i dont want it to end up like the artists that only render the nose,lips, under-eyes or a place to learn to render just in general?.

>>2360558
14h flight? Damn man sounds exhausting

Also looks really cool but some of the cylinders have their contour lies wrong making them flat or making it look like they go into a completely another direction, mostly in the head and the pipes behind the head.

Still looking for some feedback on this. It's pretty rough in a lot of places too, sorry about that.

>>2360757
maybe people would bother if you resized

>>2360761
nah, u can hold that shit

>>2360757
Reason why you didn't get a reply before was because you were shilling your stream.
The other is you're just presenting an obvious finished piece and want feedback. On what would you like feedback because I can tell you that leaving it open like this will only get you negative shit and you won't like it.
Also that heart medal looks tacked on and out of place with the lines of the rest of the piece.

>>2360787
The twitter link was the source material since it's a niche game for reference... but ok it's shilling despite nothing present to identify me. I definitely don't think it's "finished"-- and besides that, it's a pointless distinction to make since the OP clearly states that the thread is for posting to get feedback.

Thanks for the medal crit though, I hadn't noticed that before but you're definitely right.

Thanks for using my image for the OP, I was really surprised to see my drawing in the catalog, haha.

>>2361027
I love how when you finally draw something good everyone shuts the fuck up. I suck but ill try my best.

I think her chin could be more rounded, I dont like the way the hair invades into the neck nor te way the neck connects to body.
Her left hands palm is a little too long and the connection between it and the thing shes holding a little awkward. her right eear seems higher than her left, and is too far away.
I think her lower lip has 3px too much ignoring style. I think her left elbow is a little far out, or her left forearm a little too show, or her left forearm a little too small ( foreshortening)

But the biggest problem is the lines dont read well for the planet thingamajig. and are those lines of paper or???

Love you, keep at it <3

>>2361027
you are the worst thing to come to /ic/ since firez.

ignore the feet

>>2361027
Something about those eyebrows are really nice. You're going to want to make her left arm read as coming towards us by drawing more folds around the elbow, right now its a bit too flat. It would probably help a lot more if you defined the area her right ear meets the face. It's covered with hair right now, but hair doesn't really act that way. The flower thing in the middle is looking straight on at us, but assuming it's resting on her chest, it would be facing up a bit more (just flatten it in free transform). Your linework is fine, maybe you could control where you decide to put your details, but all in all I think you'd benefit a lot from thinking in 3D/spatially because it's lacking a lot of realistic depth.

>>2361214

thought having two monitors would be a good idea to not have to switch windows when drawing from reference but it only makes it so the internet is more distracting

Again, thanks for the critiques.

What should I practice if I wanna git gud at drawing animus? I've been doing figure drawings while trying to learn anatomy at the same time but I feel really lost. Is it just an issue of not having enough mileage to see results?

>>2361765
1. Consume a lot of lolimoos
2. Study your fav lolimoo artists
3. Draw your fav lolimoo character all the time
4. Develop your own lolimoo shorthand for doing things
5. Continue to do life drawing
6. Breathe, smell, taste, touch a real life loli

You can now draw prepubescent depictions of children.

i'm really bad with colors :(
Someone said it lacked volume , can someone please give some advice on how to improve that in this image ?

>>2361831
Use the gray scale to paint first, it'll will allow you to focus only on the volume part, you can create volume by using the darkest shade of a color (so pay really attention to shadows), the lightest shade increase the volume effect.

Three colors are enough to create a volume effect.

Exemples: http://www.zbrushcentral.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=347010

http://www.zbrushcentral.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=418384

http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showthread.php?101014-GJ-s-skatch-book/page2&p=782562&infinite=1#post782562

You can use non textured 3d models like those above to get a basic understanding of volume.

>>2361831
Kind of unrelated but if she's just scooped out some watermelon shouldn't their be a hole in the watermelon instead of it being flat?

I always try to convey volumes clearly, but at the same time I don't wanna have thick-high-contrast colors.
Because I love subtle variants of colors like traditional watercolor, not acrylic feels like this.
But in the end, everything is either dark as hell or flashbangish white. If I tone down a bit, Every boundaries and highlights are gone.

>>2361929
you are literally smeared with all kinds of shit all over you. Hows that not a peasant medium ?

>>2361995
Subtle differences in colour temperature sounds like the key. Read up on colour theory.
If you spend a little time looking through good work of others until you find something that is doing what you're talking about, you can do a piece where you dropper tool their colours and hopefully you can learn something.

How do people make childish looking drawings appealing?

>>2362018
I didn't even know there's a thing "color theory". Guess I didn't know anything about this after all.
I actually did several dropper practice on real life photographs, but never done with others work.. how the fuck didn't I come up with this idea. It's so simple..

It's not quite related with this topic, but the reason I want to achieve watercolor-like coloring is that I would REALLY love to have vague foggy vibe on my work. To do so i must have acquired said technique. I will definitely do what you said.

>>2362029
good palette choice is a big part of it. simple composition, easy to read

>>2361995
it's probably because you use too many lines, and they are too tick

having black right next to a contrast makes the difference between colors appear closer than it actually is. if you want to make the most out of subtle contrasts you should avoid lines and black at all costs. it's color theory 101

Nice sketch man, always loved your stuff.

you can also try using more cast shadows to define the volumes, and while your crosshatching is lovely it does fuck up the values a bit. Maybe try coloring it too?

Their left hand looks really unnatural, though, look up hands holding stress balls, the fingers wrap around it instead of being parallel to each other. Also both hands seem a little small, the arms are slightly short too.

I think you should focus less on perspective except for where the horizon line is. I don't want to be that guy, but you should flip through Vilppu's drawing manual because he talks about how to create depth through overlaps, contour lines, wrapping lines, etc. without drawing every perspective line like /ic/ tells you to. I drew up some pointers that might help you.

>>2362281
Color is nice, line thickness is almost there. Make the lines in the mechanical parts of the left arm thicker as they are closer to the viewer.

I feel like you might benefit from vectorizing this by the way, it seems like you'd get a far cleaner result if you had that technical aspect of easily manipulating the curves.

Wouldn't call it impossible for anime in general, there are plenty of artists on Pixiv who manage a more voluminous rendering style. Moe-stylisation specifically however I'm not so sure, simply because the cuteness of it relies on the lack of detailing.

faggots like you are why there aren't nearly any good artist's here.

You seem to be mistaken your shitposting for "hardcore critzzzzz". You're just trying to justify belittling people for your own amusement and taking pride in that fact. Most of the crits I see here aren't even valid. For every 1 reasonable constructive crit there are a hundred terrible redlines that are just fucking terrible. Like holy shit they are bad. You faggots have even tried to redline a fucking photo. That's how bad you "git gud" guys try to be hardcore.

Grow the fuck up. It's blatantly obvious the majority of /ic/ers are in highschool or NEET with absolutely no understanding of how art is actually created.

Personally I'd tilt the angle of her left sleeve opening a little forwards, because right now it breaks the illusion of foreshortening; it makes her left forearm look too short compared to the upper arm.
Also, try to stay consistent with the thickness of your lines, the bottom half of the dress has them rather thick, which pulls it to the foreground with the orb. I had to look twice to make sure it wasn't meant to be a pedestal for the floating orb thing.

Do some studies of real people and look at their skin and figure out why their skin is more appealing than the colors you used.

If you want to finish your current work fast, just find a picture of a person with good looking skin and steal the color pallete.

The back of pearl's doesn't curve inward enough, necks aren't straight lines. Remember stretch and squash. So since she's crooking her neck up to look at something there would a definite bend at the back of the neck.

Why is garnets hand on the arm that is folded bending like that? It would make more sense if she had it resting on the crease of her elbow. With the way it's positioned it seems odd because, one that position would be awkward and unnatural, two because of the size of her breasts that would actually be really uncomfortable to do, she'd be smashing into them with her wrist. The position of the shoulder also feels weird in conjunction with the way you've place it.

Roses eyes are a bit too low, if she opened them they'd almost be starting right on top of ends of her nostrils. I know that's how it is in steven universe but because you're drawing out the nose semi realistically it just looks kind of odd. They don't need to be moved a ton higher, just ever so slightly.

I like the concept though and the atmosphere is pretty.

>>2363600

rendering of the vagina seems weird. like the whole picture looks fairly innocent and then WHABAMMO what a camel toe she's got goin on down there. like it's not the focal point at all but it's there, so it's kinda like one of those "when you see it you'll shit brix" images from 2007 or whatever. i would smooth it out for this picture, because it adds a really strange and unwarranted sexual tone to it.

if it was intentionally done to bump up the sexiness of this tiny woman then your composition could use a little work... i feel like it should be 'all-or-nothing' when it comes to this kind of stuff. do you want people to fap to this? then ham it up, rule of thirds the fuckin vagina, put it smack dab at the end of the golden spiral. but if you want people to just check out your cool fanart (i'm assuming this is fanart) then i would get rid of it, because it just kind of makes the viewer uncomfortable.

like i didn't even notice it until just now, even though i've seen the pic for the past little while lmao

a little bit too much blur imo, you want to create a focus point in the painting yes, but too much blur creates strain on the eyes, look at movies like frozen ect, perfect amount of focal point leading blur on characters and enviroments

Proportions, Perspective, Construction, Anatomy, Style.

Remember you don't stop one and go into the next one, you start one and introduce another into the stuff you practice (Everyday if posible).

For style I do studies of pieces I like and analize how they solve their problems, there's also the sketching manga book which helps a little bit (mostly the first and second one, the rest are mehtier)

>>2365679
you did a great work there
you might want to put some colors on the shadows like you did on the bottom left corner, add some magenta-purple over all shadow zones, softly, like a 10% color, and that's it

it's minor, but the weakest thing of your illustration are ovals, circular buildings are weird, using a coin irl might help you correct it rather than doing it symbolic, a cylinder doesn't have corners and when the perspective is far from the horizon level the oval should be more open

blood on her boots is top notch

Finished this a while ago, but the composition looks wonky after looking at it again. So I decide to take a second shot. Links hand also seems to be a bit too big. Oh well..

i lurk these threads a lot but i wanted to try and post something.
i work on dA (yea i know blehg) as an art moderator and crit giver, but i know my stuff isn't amazing yet

>>2367445
>+80 layers
Seems very inefficient

>>2367492
I know /ic retards have a hard time reading but maybe you should go ahead and give that a nother look over.

They are going to animate it in photoshop so everything being cut out seems kinda necessary.

>>2367486

Just because you post on the stylization thread, doesnt mean you're exempt from the sticky.

If you care about improving, read it.

>>2367499
I've done that kind of spine animation, his rendering still doesn't warrant that many layers per element.

>They are going to animate it in photoshop
Talk about not know what you're talking about

>>2367524
What's wrong with it? i do hair a little stiff, but a critique would be noce

>>2367528
yup, it's inefficient
the good thing is that it's just a practice
the bad thing is that I have to learn to do it efficiently next time

this was my first attemt, I've failed misserably, as complexity scalated quickly and it's too time consuming

>>2367534
I've failed misserably
Nah, you just gotta do a few adjustments to your process.
Once you got each part outlined, separate them (as in distance) and render like you would a normal drawing, play with some general lighting afterwards.
When you're done just merge the whole thing and get each part into a different layer.

I love FE!! blog?

Try not to let the haters get you too down. You have a long way to go to improve, but you're obviously trying! Keep practicing (and read the sticky).

designs and lineart for new paintin', At least now get to do the fun shit with value and color studies.

>>2367599
The background detail looks especially nice. G'luck!

>>2367531
not him but you have 0 form or anatomy, or color theory. Definitely sticky/beginner thread.

Arms look short, breh. Remember, elbow should line up with navel and top of the head. If you actually used ref, don't rely on it so much.

my pixel art is a little better, at least. is this worthy of the alt threads? i'll look into the sticky.

>>2367623
you know, if you actually looked at it instead of kneejerk crit (cus god knows you have to say something) you would realize there is a bit of foreshortening as well as lifted shoulders ( on both arms)

>>2367635
Her arms are still too thin and too short.

>>2367630
I mean it could go either way depending on the person and their view of what the beginner thread should look like.

Expect some hate though.

>>2367636
if you keep saying it it doesn't make it true.

The elbow is not going to go past the rib cage Its going to reach the length of the other shoulder.

And for the other one the elbow just goes past the top of the head. And since it'es bending forward.... (as well as the head being stylisticly larger pinup )

Go ahead and do it yourself. You're wrong and you always will be.

>>2367635
>>2367651
Somebody didn't get their daily dose of linkin park

>>2367599
the arm on the left is too thin and also the elbow is too short,. hold your own arm above your head, the elbow clears the crown easy.

unless of course it's foreshortened and not sticking straight up like it is in the drawing.

>>2367679
I'm not going to post the ref I used since it's my own and the model doesn't want it posted.

Used a 50mm lens to limit distortion and at a distance.

It's right. the angel and foreshortening might not read to tell since it's going to be painted and just rough sketched.

It is amusing though how hard you guys are trying though. It reminds of of that firez photo study you idiots tried to redline despite it being accurate and on point.

never change /ic/

>>2367729
>It reminds of of that firez photo study you idiots tried to redline despite it being accurate and on point.

link? also those arms are short

>>2367724
then it needs to be angled out towards the left more and need to be fatter/large.
you are wrong. deal with it.

>>2367729
As I said, don't rely on ref so much. Even photos can look wrong sometimes as we all know. It's more important to look right or aesthetic than actually be accurate.

practicing lineart
critique?

>>2367486
Go to the beginners thread, holy shit is that anatomy horrendous. Learn some construction, study from photos, Loomis.

>>2368356
youre doing well and there are few mistakes on the grand scale, sadly, everytime we zoom in, we see a distinct lack of flair. For example the elbow and arms are perfect boxes, the knees dont look like knee and the folds dont look good, but they are present. Usually people get hammered for proportions ( shes kinda long btw) but in your case you need to anti up on your lineweight and details as well as dynamism/flow

>>2365905
desu i dont see shit kinda awkward you even did this. go work on your art

>>2368564

thanks for that anon, appreciate it.

>>2360757
Just to add to what
>>2360757
Said, I don't have anything against the camel toe but it's sort of hard to see why you're seeing it. What I mean is, is her skirt flipped up, or does her uniform not cover her from the waste down, or what? It's just a little hard to tell what is being moved out of the way to give a panty shot because from the waste down her outfit turns into just flat geometric shapes and pastel colors.

Someone else said that too, so I just made it into a generic anime face. fml.

>>2367550
It will probably be easier if you sketch out the whole image (her neck, shoulders etc) before you start on the hair or lips.

>>2369114
make the head smaller/body bigger.

My niggaaaa.

>>2361214
it's not only the feet, her whole balance is off.

>>2361831
also no body balance=hollow back etc.
maybe you should try to study posture first before you are drawing muh rendered cute girls
everything else has already been mentioned

>>2363779
They're not the same. Pearl's left forearm is significantly longer than her right, and the raised shoulder doesn't show at all in the drawing.

>>2368356
Proportions are a little awkward and your clothing folds are shitty.
Work on conveying forms and do some general anatomy and clothing studies.

>>2371210
learn shortcuts for form construction?
I think Sycra has a few videos that are pretty helpful.

whats the best resurce on how to design characters ?
