Speaking of squid porn I'm looking for advice to help me make this skin-tight anti-gravity geek-boy shota the best request art anyone's ever gotten.

Any pointers, comments, or noticed flaws?

Just started a short comic. I don't know what I'm doing but I'm gonna do it any way. Crit would be nice. Thank you.

>>2585324
In this pannel lighting can be very useful for drawing attention to the tip of the gun, where attention will go anyway. I recommend using is. Maybe take the sunlight back a little so only diffused glow is making it on to the character, and have the barrel alone highlighted by the rays?

Very static composition for such a dramatic weapon.

>>2585324
Looking nice, I'd follow the tips the other anons gave you since I have the same issues with it. Better compotition, which in part meas use the lighting only when and where needed.

Also, I'm no /k/ommando, but wouldn't you want to open the eye that's looking through the scope? or is he looking with his left eye? it's not clear enough.

I hope all of the panels in this comic aren't copies of images. Will really limit what you'll be able to do.

Or, if your comic is nothing but copies of pictures of Nathan Fillion, that would be interesting in its own right.

Straight up copied the lighting and likeness of the photo. I don't know a lot about weapons but if I draw more of people holding gun I won't need the refs. But your totally right, thank you for calling me out on it, the pose looks just like (to much like) the ref.

I want to be as good as Yoshinari-senpai.

>>2585479
draw with your arm, not your wrist, relax anon, don't be tense. your hand is sore cause you are tense.

>or you're weak, take a two day break and let them hand muscle gains fully develop

You should spend a good while practicing drawing the full human figure and have everything proportionally accurate. Fill your sketchbook with little drawings of people it's good practice.

I decided to paint an old sketch. Please excuse my godawful perspective.

How do I make the tiger less retarded and should he be in local color? The robed figure will be alizarin crimson.

>>2585476
Sorry if I was being cheeky, I just happened to know the image, I wasn't trying to be antagonistic.
Using reference is good, in the future try to find multiple references from a few angles that are what you're trying to achieve, and even use yourself in a reflection to further figuring out the pose you're going for.

>>2585591
paint tiger mostly with gray, some green/blue and just touches of brown/red. the green is overpowering but if that's not digital then it's oo far gone and ya might as well just finish it.

>>2585652
>if that's not digital then it's oo far gone and ya might as well just finish it.

Its traditional, but I can still change it... gouache doesn't mind being painted over. Thanks for the color recommendations, I never would've thought of gray.

Does this look right?

Relative newfag (but longtime lurker) here. I went through the depths of hell, anatomy books and google images for a few hours to try and fix a size (or length at least) and foreshortening issue I had going on with my current animu painting. I'll have to tone the fitness down later since I got carried away with the muscles after drawing the same arm multiple times, arm muscles are fun, but I'm extremely concerned about the two issues I mentioned: does this dude still have T-Rex arms? are the perspective and the anatomy working together in the way they should? do I make the call and render over it to implement it into the rest of the piece?

You have some interesting shapes going on. The tiger's expression is too human like and timid, that's why he looks stupid. For a next image I encourage you to plan the architecture out beforehand, then you won't have the problem with tilted walls.

Wrong eye is open, idiot

tfw you're studying and copying Bridgman page-by-page and you're slowly understanding what the fuck is going on with his haphazard construction, but some things are made unclear as fuck

Has the quality of draw threads gone up recently? Are people improving? I haven't peeked in one of these in a while. Looks like it to me.

>>2586193
>>2586252
thanks for the input both. I think painting this made me realize its really important to use 2pt perspective and be conscious of that all the way through rendering.

>>2585973
Really? it's still short? fucking fuck, I'll need a redline /ic/. Also it's anime, the character's head is that big and I'm sticking to the design. Of course, the design has arms of a normal length, so that's the thig to fix.

>>2586463
How come you don't seem to finish them? Are you stopping before they're done or are you using a timed website or something and you're too slow? Either way change your method to make sure you complete them, either by working quicker or giving yourself more time.

As a quick tip, never draw one arm or one leg. Always draw them in pairs so that you can draw the relationship between them. This ought to help you finish them too.

I recommend Force: Dynamic Life Drawing, it should help you loosen up and understand things like rhythm and force.

>>2586513
I use some of the various websites for time gestures, usually sixty, though I've tried thirty seconds before. I'll draw drawing everything in pairs, I'm sure it'll help. I used to own Force; it's a good book. I should have studied from it more. The last few days I've been going through Bridgman and studying/copying everything on every page, so a lot of his construction has rubbed off on me.

I'm gonna be blunt, It's shit hair and you don't know how to draw very well. You'll be able to do nice hair if you lean fundies. But if you don't want to do that, then google interesting hair styles and choose any of them over what you have here.

>> beginner thread

>>2586665
The rain density seems ok, could use a bit more though. Those lights are wayy too short and closely spaced to have any useful real world purpose. I'd suggest getting rid of the one to the right. Make the left one taller, but since you still want it to be in frame, move it and the guy a little bit toward the middle of the picture so you can make the lamp taller and its beam of light wider. Also i'd widen the sidewalk as well. I get that this is on a sort of walk way bridge thing, but side walks are never that thin. It's dangerous.

Ignoring that top-left's bottom corner I would try doing more angles (from an above or birds eye view is a good start). You seem to have a good grasp on the basics of perspective, try adding details to the buildings (imho I think this is the funnest part) like window sills, locks and volume to your roofs. Try tackling shadows as well.

>>2587813
There's nothing there but a single eye. Block in the other one, a nose, a mouth, then see what you can tweak and fix. You don't have to get it right the first time. The beauty of digital painting is that you have unlimited tools. You can try and retry until you've found exactly what you're looking for.

I think you could define the neck a bit more. Or like this guy >>2587715 you could give him some clothes or something covering the neck.
I like the emotion in his face. Great work.
>>2587705
>>2587706
I like the color on these, but like the other guy said, the second picture looks like a shadow puppet dog. I'm not really sure what it's supposed to be otherwise. I do like the lighting and the color in the leaves.
>>2587603
I like it. The mouth seems a bit tiny, but I like the color in the face. Nice subtle blues and yellows.

>>2587477
Really like this. Great use of light and shadow. I want to see a sketchbook filled with little images like this.
>>2587363
Look at references. Play around with heavy shadows. You can do all kinds of fun stuff with buildings. I like the second building a lot. Interesting use of shapes. When you're doing stuff like the 3rd building. Make sure to focus on details like window sills, gutters, paneling, etc., the things that stick out and break up the shape a bit, otherwise you just have a basic rectangle with a pointy triangle roof.
>>2587167
I like these. The hat on the two in the middle give a more interesting shape than a plain, round helmet.
>>2587102

>>2587078
I love the use of colors. I would go a little heavier on the contrast on the tree and the dirt under it. It all looks a little muddy green and gray right now. Are you going to render it anymore?

amazing technique. subtle intermingling of pointilism and light hatching. It looks like ink stains from a distance. How long did it take? how large?

My only critique would be to widen your range of values. Bring your darkest points much darker and use a larger range of midtones.

>>2588193
having a panic attack rn because I can't find the piece anywhere in my house.

I'd say it was about 24x12 inches.

It took a little less than two months. kinda on/off working on it.

and thank you! Yeah I struggle to get certain parts more darker and others more lighter.

>>2588188
why? just fucking draw them dude. these are good but the lack of nipples is off setting.

>>2588211
because nipplle placement can seriously fuck up a drawing. they have be symmetrical and tracking their placemen and size is hard for me. I have the same issue with eyes/pupils. I can draw he structure of the face relatively well, but end p leaving the eyes in the brow's shadow because matching eyes is hard.

>>2588215
really? they're just circles on blobs of fat, it's not like they have to make eye contact lmao. don't run away from drawing the things you're not confident with (i'm looking at those hands and empty faces). i really like your shadows though.

dude. the whole point of a study is to establish one piece of a larger painting. you dont study until you can magically draw everything perfect without a reference. you study because you can't. Very few have such natural talent.

think of an idea and then piece together some references. do some studies to work out the kinks and create consistency. voila art!

Pay more attention to your strokes for the background. It makes a much bigger difference than you'd think.

>>2588932
This one is the only successful one because it leads the eye from the guy punching to the guy getting hit.
>>2588930
There's a ton of movement in the original picture that you totally ruined; the lights are shining down from the right and left, forming a V, whereas here you just have noise.
>>2588933
This one the strokes should be going downward because 1) it matches the reference, and 2) it really sells the idea of him falling.

>>2587167

I really like the one on the left. That big yellow strip is iconic. Give him one of the more police-y hats and you've got an interesting cyber punk popo on your hands.

>>2589474
Nothing i can't fix later on. It's easy to merge layers then tweak the sizes of things etc. but when everything is on multiple layers it's a pain.

>>2589473
I really like how it's shaping up. It gives a "MtG card in the making" sort of feeling, especially composition wise. Keep up the good work.

As the other anon said, you started laying in textures and some rendering way too soon. Right now the values feel a bit all over the place. The thumb silhouette does not read well. On one hand it feels like an overcast, but on the other it wants to imply a bit stronger directional light from top right. The foreshortening of the wing coming towards the viewer feels detached from her as well.

Face wise, I feel like the biggest "mistake" is that it looks both bereft of emotion and really generic. Maybe use a reference just for the sake of giving her a "look." Other than that, the patch of shadow on her chin feels detached from the rest of the shadow mass. The kettle hat also kinda looks silly, adds to the generic look and raises the question of how it's standing on her head mid flight without any binding to begin with. The hands and forearms are bitching, but also further confuse the viewer on what is going on. Is she holding an invisible sword? Is she bound by invisible ropes? The look on her face does not help the viewer figure it out.

Either way, looking forward to see how that pic turns out.

The tree trunk makes the piper look like a giant, but since there are some rats for size reference that makes it even weirder. Maybe you should remove the branch and make the tree curve towards the piper, to keep the composition? Also, if he's attracting the rats with his flute you should consider simplifying the shapes and painting like a swarm of them.

This is an inked sketch, in the process of being cleaned up.

I'm unsure which tool or brush is best for adding additional lines, as the brush's anti-aliased look doesn't match the look of the rest of it, however the pencil leaves dull edges where i'd like sharp ones, such as the tips of the hair.

And I plan to modify the line weight to better fix proportion and alter some as well.

well simple way to put it is instead of doing line art, you make the shapes with the paint. and you just render the details down instead of having solid colored line art.

Man doing shading or whatever is called is such a pain in the ass.
Shame these colors have become a shitty meme cause they look really good combined

You must have that ligameme.
It would take me a week to do that with a mouse.

Are there any good video series to learn perspective and learn how to construct city scapes/landscaps? I know of the usual books on perspective, but I'm looking for something more.

>>2591210
It would do you real good to go back and re do those hands with a bit more reference. I'm sorry but the middle girl just looks straight up retarded and sickly. She has a greenish tinge to her skin and her eyes aren't focussing on anything. Her pinky is broken (just try lifting your pinky individual of other fingers) and her fingers start too far back, like she has no nuckles... man I could go on but to sum it up this picture looks ok at a glance but the more you look at the details you begin to see all the horrors. Also the values could be a bit better, just push back the center background with some atmospheric haze because it's competing with retard girl and normal girl.

I know it sucks to hear fundamental criticism after you've already finished a piece, especially considering you seem to have put a lot of time into this but MAN you have got to fix those kids.

Trying to go for an final fantasy tactics-like style. I'm having some troube with the lion head on the front shield, tho, any critique is appreciated.

>>2591257
Your picture was cuter to be honest

How the fuck do you guys paint, like create a 3d model in your heads?

There are so many great tutorials on how to draw, anatomy etc but I am just shite at painting / colors. I understand value esp in black and white. Its just all my art looks like flat.

Your art looks flat because you're probably not using enough values and you're probably not using them intelligently. Show examples of your work so we can fundamentally destroy your confidence.
