>>2996022
Most mainstream anime styles are based on all the characters having identical and rigid facial features.

Finding ways to convey personality and emotion through facial expressions and body language should be your true challenge. It's also not something any of the artists you mentioned are very good at, which imo contributes far more to their art looking "samey".

I think your drawing is too rigid. Probably too late to correct at this stage, but even characters comprised of (mostly) robotic or solid parts should have some "bounce" to them. A good mix of straights, C and S curves to emphasize flow keeps things interesting, even if your character is wearing armor or has robot hands.

Interesting butt design to say the least.

>>2996715
This color would work better on a smaller, less detailed (and more controlled) drawing. Here it kinda gets lost because there's so much going on over a wide area, and it's hard to make out.

>>2996796
I love it anon, but honestly >>2994634 version is significantly better and here's why -
You used straights on her chest and raised her shoulders which makes her expression more uptight (better). You also have better hand gestures and the fabric of her skirt has more thickness and weight to it. Her butt is popped out more and reveals her thighs better.

The final drawing is better rendered, but lost some of its former gesture and appeal.
To prevent this, never trace your sketch, but rather use it as a guide. Always retain the emotion and mood of your drawing, even when inking.
That being said I really like the piece, keep up the good work.

>>2994860
I had the same problem, so I scanned the paper texture I used to work on, used it as an underlay and got the most grainy pencily kind of brush I could find. It helps at least for the period of getting cozy with your tablet.

>>2995169
Looks like a paper cut-out.
You have to change your way of thinking from symbols to form drawing and to achieve that, you need drawabox, loomis, dynamic sketching and so on, not a redline.

The thing is her butt looks like a nutsack. I'm not sure how to help you with this, probably just look at some actual butt, draw the pelvis first, realize that it's just two muscles and a bit of fat, there's nothing that would hold it in space like this.

>>2996910

I wanted to include all my points in a redline, but compared to your sketch I ended up butchering the gesture even more. Oh well.

Though what I think looks better in mine are hands and the skirt.
With hands, reference this >>2994634, you managed beautiful silhouettes there, so keep that and offset the fingers a bit so they don't look like sausages.
I tried to make the hair a bit less flowing to make her look more embarrassed, but now I'm not sure whether it's working.

Anyways, good luck with the drawing and have a nice day.

i shortened the forearm when it was pointed out before. is the upper arm still too long?

thanks for pointing the stuff out, though.

>>2997370
you have no understanding of anatomy
go to the gym and get swole so you can be your own reference, it helps

>>2997371
the upper arm and forearm are equal in length in your pic
elbow goes below ribs, wrist goes below pelvis
ergo forearm is longer than upper arm

>>2997383
I guess I'll need you to elaborate. It's supposed to be exaggerated.

Already doing the gym thing btw, thanks for thinking of my health.

>>2997386
exaggeration is all well and good but you oversimplified the musculature
look how flat the chest on yours was compared to how actual pecs bulge
you caved in the entire left side of the torso too
also it kind of works on an exaggerated design but forearms should be longer than upper arms:
>>2997387

>>2997396
That helps tons!

I see what you mean right leg left leg is going to be a peg. I should really do more study than I do currently. It's just sooooooo boring.

>>2997400
If doing straight-up studying is too hard then just use a reference when making the art you want to make, though that can really slow down the work flow.
You can learn a surprising amount from observing the thing without ever drawing the thing too.

It's been years since I've touched a tablet. This is incredibly hard. I can produce better lines, but just can't be bothered on sketches. Maybe I should.

Any thoughts?

>>2997396
>it kind of works on an exaggerated design but forearms should be longer than upper arms

unless you're talking in reference to foreshortening the upper arm towards the viewer in that very specific angle of that image, then no, the forearm is slightly shorter than the upper arm. if you bend your arm up all the way so that the hand is near your shoulder you'll see your wrist comes in just below the shoulder, tho one of the trickiest things to keep in mind in regard to proportions is that the length of two appendages that connect at a joint overlap to varying degrees based on the type of joint they share.

if you're gonna exaggerate it's usually better to try and go overboard on your first pass! you can always dial it down after wards, and going crazy and being loose can help you discover things you never would have thought of otherwise. studies may seem boring when you're starting out, but try to think of them as just opportunities to make new and interesting drawings! draw a bunch of crocodiles, then when you go to draw a crocodile pirate you'll be able to use what you learned from those sketches to build a more convincing and dynamic design instead of a muscular person with a vague lizard head. it's like looking over the rules to a cool board game, if you don't read them then you'll never get to play!

>>2997415
Huh. Well, at a 90~ degree angle the lengths of the inside edges of the forearm-wrist and upper arm-shoulder are actually about equal. Shorter forearm all the way up, longer all the way down.
Made me go grab a ruler to test it.

>>2997421
WOW your quick gator is very cute, you gots a bloag?

>>2997423
trust me, from a stylistic point of view it's best to keep the forearm slightly shorter than the upperarm unless you're doing foreshortening or some character design thing where you can make a longer forearm not look weird (say a humanoid with wing arms maybe)

I made this about a month ago. To be honest after a while i began wondering what people really thought of it. It got likes, but i wanna get a fair critique of this.

Better yet, I want to hear what i couldn't see in this drawing. What was colored wrong? Are the lines dirty? and etc..

>>2997495
To be honest the face is pretty ugly and the head looks sort of dislocated from the body. It's like there's no neck and the right shoulder it too far forward?
I mean there's not much to say. It's a chibi. It's too simple a subject matter.

>>2997500
It was a request that someone asked for.

>Draw any character as close as possible to the style of EarthBound.

The difference being that earthbound faces are cute, the one in your drawing isn't.
Yours has a huge nose and mouth, the earthbound characters have small features instead. The proportions aren't the same so it looks ugly as a result. Use a reference next time.

>>2997508
Disagree. The wings are sloppy, look at the lineart, it's sketchy and unfinished looking. I'd say the hair is the thing that stands out, it looks like time was spent on it while everything else was rushed (just look at the feet).

>>2997532
I tried.

Not on my comp but >>2997565 is right. It looks way better on the end there when it's more accurate to the earthbound proportions. Much cuter.

I'm working on this one.

Have to clean up the foreground rendering before I finish the characters. It's just a basic sketch for now.

Working within the constraints of a photographic scene is interesting... I used the tiles as a grid and the half-wall for scale.

Unless there's huge errors that I can't see, clothes and colors are next...

Anyone have an artwork that was shared on IC a while ago? It was pretty nice it was manga style in a cool village with cute cat girls walking around it and it was on water.

I hate to like... be the one to tell you this but every professional artist uses reference.

I do not copy from a single photo like kr0n [pic related] and the like. He takes a photo and just copies it in manga form.

The way I work, I normally, I sketch out and try to get it as good as I can from imagination and then I go through my reference folders to find photos similar to what I have sketched out. This could be a dozen reference images for just one pose. I might find an image for the hands, another for the hair, another for the face, one for the colors, one for the general lighting, and another for the legs.

>>2999270
For the bodies, I focus more on the overall contours rather than anatomy/muscles/skeleton. I treat the human body more like a height map.

Hair just takes time. A llooottttt of time.

>>2999310
>I treat the human body more like a height map.
Can you explain more on this?

>>2999270
Not him, but something I notice about his art style is there's a lot of "implied" forms. You basically hint at a form without actually drawing out all of it, and let the brain fill in the gaps. Notice how delicately the inner surfaces are handled in his drawings - almost all of it is imagined space, with the bare minimum of lines needed to guide the eye.

This is obviously only possible with a good knowledge of form and anatomy, but when done right, it creates a very visually pleasant effect.

Aww, thanks anon. That's one of the nicest thing anyone has said to me in a lloooonnnggg timmmeeee.

I take a lot of inspiration from Charles Dana Gibson when it comes to line/ink work. The more details you put in, the harder and harsher the subject looks, so if you want to paint a pretty lady you want to keep the lines to a minimum.

>>2999318
Kinda like this. I'll draw all the contours of the body based on the form and then go back and keep only the lines which have the sharpest incline.

The general form of the head is nice. The features of the head feel pasted on the form, it would be nice if you could shape that general form in such a way that the features also have some form. I don't know what's happening with the body.

Consider, perhaps, pic related, and the fact that you need to actually study Loomis/the head in general unironically
>>3000896
Trash this and start over, you have no idea what you're doing. Break down the body into shapes and don't half-ass lineart. You can't think of it as "tracing over sketch", you have to, dare I say it, FEEL the FORM and draw actual 3d shapes instead of sloppy symbols.
Also it's better to draw big and then resize the lineart. SAI's 0.1 size pen is fugly as shit, so quit using it like you are.

>>2994690
I really like it. For someone who hasn't drawn in a while, you look like you've been drawing all the time.

Do you have any specific studies/recommendations for a beginner for constructing (stylized anime) faces? I am practicing (Loomis, draw a box, gesture drawing picures I've stored up, anything I can find exercises with) but I want to sketch things to keep motivated while doing it and I don't feel like I am improving when I then try to apply it.

I'm especially having difficulty with front facing (not 3/4 view) faces looking off to one side. If I use rulers and perspective tools/guides I can correct some of my mistakes such as one eye being too big, elippses being off, jaw lines being uneven, and so forth, but then it becomes very stiff.
