Last thread: >>3012107

This thread is meant for artists who might want to try to make anime works in-between their studies, however, all forms of stylization is welcome here. It is strongly recommended that you use this thread in conjunction with learning the elements and fundamentals of art. You can also discuss the visual elements of various professional artists as well if you keep it relatively articulate and civil.

Submit your drawings, receive feedback or critique others! Share your knowledge and remember to thank those who've critiqued or red-lined your drawings. Most importantly, you should be having fun! Fun I said!

uh, just figure out what is the best way for you to learn-- you will make the greatest gains through directed learning. It's faster to get to a destination by just looking up the directions than it is to just start walking around aimlessly and hope that you'll get there eventually. Actively try new things? Don't get overly attached to a process or become to comfortable? Everything should come pretty organically, I feel. If something isn't working in a piece, then don't feel bad scrapping a major part completely. It's something I've been working on recently, being able to let go of my initial stab at a concept. I'm sure you're aware, you have an idea in your head and then you try to put it on the canvas but it isn't how you imagined in your head-- why then should we unnecessarily restrict ourselves to this canvas that wasn't even a pure representation of what we had in our minds to begin with?

So yeah just do stuff idk lol. You'll probably figure it out. My last couple of pictures were all forays into cool lighting scenarios because I was pretty sick of drawing orange, warm light. I wanted some pretty eclectic colors in "dark" areas that I don't see people do very often so my last couple of pictures have all been of that flavor (with varying results), just so I could get better at it.

>>3021786
all those pouches facing the same direction make the torso look kinda flat, maybe have the one on his right face more towards the viewer to hint at the curve of the ribcage. the collar is kind of hard to read, looks sort of blobish. I'm guessing you're trying to use minimal reference, but I'd recommend checking out some photos to get it right. beyond that, try bringing in the index finger and little finger. as a general rule the index finger starts at around the same distance down the hand as the ring finger, but is slightly shorter, and the little finger starts even farther back and is shorter than the index finger.

What do you guys do during periods where you can't seem to get anything right?
The past few days I've just been loathing every line I put down, and it's because I know I'm garbage compared to artists that I look up to.
I know that no matter how much effort I put into a drawing, it will never match up to what I want it to be.

I've hardly improved the past few years and am starting to believe that I'm not talented enough. I'm worried that I'm wasting my time.

How do I push through this?
>>
>>3022207
ignore yourself, the feeling will probably never go away so you just learn to silence it and carry on
>>
>>3022207
It never goes away. Every piece goes through an ugly stage where you feel like nothing's working at all. You have to keep going in spite of that. Once you've put more time into it then you can decide whether to shelve the piece or not.

So from a beginner this may sound retarded but I gave it my best shot.

It seems like you are trying to force the left arm into view when the angle of the torso would obstruct most of the shoulder and bicep. The only way you would see the elbow is if you turned the character.
>>
>>3022342
>>3022387
Also I should note that it is pretty easy to test this pose in a mirror, just pay attention to the fact that the wider your stance goes, the more perpendicular the wrist is to the forearm. The most parallel you can get it is how I drew it. Sorry if you weren't trying to make the elbow parallel, that is just how it looked to me.

First attempt at trying to write characteristics and draw around it.

Does this character appeal as a Loli, Impossibly strong, Food lover, and possibly gluttonous?

Is the pose not possible to hint these kind of features?
>>
>>3023510

Having her lift some random weight saying "1T" seems a bit on the nose and uncreative. Could have shown both her unnatural strength and her food lover trait by having her lift up some ridiculously huge chunk of meat or bowl of food or something.

The pic was taken sideways because I was in a place with poor lighting and that was the only good angle I could manage without casting an obnoxious shadow on my sketch pad. If you wanted me to scan the work then repost, that's really all you had to say.

Be what you be, lonely you know
What you've done, let the sleeper play for fun
And we drink the water, and we drink the wine
We are the animals, we are the swine
Let the keepers keep the time, let the sleepers dream so fine
We read the notes placed in our hands
Forged in the sands, from distant lands
And let your hair grow and let them know
That the dreamers can still shake hands
But we live here now and it smells of death
And the youth is wasting the Earth's last breath
But we can still dream and shake our hands
And sing a song so grime

that's an old post so it doesn't include some recent stuff, it's not really rei but actually yamakawa who i've been looking at pretty recently
https://twitter.com/ymkw968

and funny thing about the triangle hair, it actually was something i did of my own accord and something i experimented with in my charlotta picture/clothing folds of previous pictures before I had even become acquainted with kanekiru-- admittedly it was a hack so i wouldn't have to think too hard about the planes of folds. It wasn't until later that i realized the she also does this so i'm actually starting to stray away from rather obvious triangles now since she's taken it to the next level of abstraction. Much further than i ever intended to so anything i would do would definitely just end up looking like a cheap imitation. In any case, we both sent out our guest art for that nier fan book at different times before we knew each other-- I'm surprised we never talked about it before, considering we're both fairly active in the same discord.

Yeah. I can't be bothered to even correct the mistakes. It's a fucking joke picture. Even then, if you can't critique something specific, then you don't even draw. Anyone with their head out of their ass would have pointed out the uneven, WIIIIDE face for starters, and the screwed up leg perspective which makes them look bent forward.

That being said I'm not at all proud of these last few. The first yaranaika was at least not too fucked up.

not only is the original artist is better than you by roughly 500%, the premise of the critique is barely correct and youve also managed to make it 4x worse. Whats wrong with your drawing? Besides the messyness, complete misunderstanding of jaw, overabundance of unnecessary guidelines, the hand which youve simplified if the oddest way, the bad forshortening for the upper arm the bad position of the deltoid and the FUCKING CHICKEN SCRATCHING AND GENDERSWAPPING. Not much honestly except for that its quite solid.

I've been doing this for quite some time and I still can't find a nice style of shading for me and I think it's partly not having the right brush but my main problem is thinking in 3D and shading darker colors without using black.

I'm using Clip Studio and tried to learn this shading style but I don't think it has worked for me lately.

Do you seriously think that you made the original any better with your shitty redline? It looks boring and there is no reason for you to genderswap the wip.
The only real problem with the wip is the handle of the sword imo.
You made everything about the picture worse and talk shit about everybody pointing it out including NoseBro.
Maybe you had a legit point somewhere but no one sees it, so dont get mad at others if you fail to get your point across. Because that is your fault for not being good enough.

No, I'm not gonna trace the M60, but I do need to establish scale and proportion correctly. Those damn things are tall as hell and not as wide as you'd think.

I don't want to start shading this piece yet because I really don't know which way to go now, but I can show you parts of my previous pieces (based on the same xa-xa-xa link).
The bigger piece, the blonde goddess girl, is what I want to achieve as an artist. That's Hideki Ishikawa.

You could say "then shade that witch the same way as the others" but I'm really at a wall here since she has mostly black colors and using black is out of the question, I really started doubting my shading now. I suddenly feel like I know nothing.

You definitely need to push the saturation a bit more if you're going to blow out the skin. Just some hints of saturation adjacent to the light can give some better context to the natural color. Also consider bumping the saturation even more between transitions of light and shadow like in your first ref photo. Composition-wise, there's some problems with the lights in the background. If you're going for an intense light source beaming through tree leaves then you need to not use such big soft brushes to convey that. Right now the beams of light are rather uniform and break up the rhythm of the background because of how noisy they are. You also are having some problems with light source direction. Her face is lit as if the light is above and in front of her but her head is casting a shadow as if the light is behind her. The dick is also probably too red and sticks out like a sore thumb in the composition. Here's a quick paint over I did. It's not perfect by any means so just take what you will from it, just some ideas to think about.

If you squint hard enough, the piece on the right is actually more of cel shading than the soft kind you're doing. Just use a harder brush.

This okay to proceed to lineart and details? Or is there anything glaring with the pose/anatomy that I should fix?
>>
>>3027965
I would wait just a sec . It looks pretty good but feels unstable to me, maybe some line length variety. Like the back and the front are too similar.

Take some artistic license and make one of them a straight, I recommend the front.

Biggest difference between very skilled and absolute professional is appeal. Anatomy etc. looks fine for an illustration (except her right hand, you should work that out first, use your self as a pic-ref if you need to speed up the process) but now you should concentrate on focus and appeal.

Which is all about contrast. Long vs. short, thick vs thin, detail vs space, curve vs. straight, etc.

One that people often forget is line length variety. All different materials have different line-length patterns, so skin won't have the same pattern as hair, or clothes, etc.

Also the alba/belly bottom seems a little to far left to me, but you could probably make it work anyway.

Also if you plan on shading this or coloring it you can include some shadow indications at this point, where you want the terminator line to go etc.

If you're going for JUST line art, or you're coloring it cartoon poster style, then you don't have to. You can indicate those things with line weight in your inking.

>>3028015
Oh, this too.
>>
>>3027965
>>3028015

Your drawing looks unstable because it is flattened.

Here are some points that will help your drawing.

> Draw the forms 'through' or at least indicate that there is another side with your lines.

>Woman's hips are equal to, or wider than, their shoulders, they flare out and are not narrow like a mans.

Also your leg line doesn't flow into the hips through the hand, I've indicated this.

>The upper shoulder (her right, our left) wobbles a bit, this could be fixed with drawing through.

>Be careful and plot out the center lines as well as you plotted out the horizontal lines. I checked your collarbone lines etc. and those seem to be good, be just as diligent with your center line.

>The elbow falls a little short of where it should be, or it's angled awkwardly perspective-wise.

>The front of her stomach line should probably contrast against the back line and not be so similar to it, that makes the drawing look more 2D.

>Her right hand (our left) is unfinished. Don't leave something unfinished just because it is difficult, use a reference, I assume you have at least one hand - take a shot with a webcam if you have to.

>Something about her breast are slightly off I think it's just where you decided to curve the left breast (our right), the nipple is slightly out of place, not by much. Where I plotted the nipple to be doesn't have to be exactly it, you could have it more outward like you drew it, but it would be slightly lower I believe.

Summary:

The most important things to fix are: Her hip size. Her front and back line balance. The elbow. Working out her right hand. And contrasting the front stomach line with the back - making them dissimilar.

Those things alone would be enough to push this drawing to the point of being ready for inking.
>>
>>3027965
You could have avoided a lot of the structural errors in your drawing if you drew her rib cage and hip cage first. Making sure the one was wider than the other. The placement of the breasts etc. would also come naturally by attaching to the ribcage.

for this I honestly feel like the face is pretty decent, but you absolutely lost it with the body. If you're going to draw a top-view, try to stay aware of the top-planes of the body (which I highlighted in green). Also, as for what construction you do have, the pelvis box you drew is WAY too high up, but your contour doesn't follow it at all and seems a bit more correct.
Anyway, keep going! Try to study muscle/bone structure to help with the mannequin structure you've got going here.
>>
>>3028068

>>
>>3028100
I assumed anon was gonna draw her wearing clothes (and thus a bra) and not sitting at a desk buck naked haha
>>
>>3028068
Telling people to study something general like muscle and bone structure is pretty insulting and I see that kind of comment on here all the time. It would be more constructive and memorable if you give them specifics. Or at the very least specify what areas you think they should study. Sorry if this comes off rude, I'm sure you're a fine person but I see these comments all the time and I don't think they are usually helpful, or well received by the person taking the critique.
>>
>>3028108
I suppose some bras could do that but usually there is a separation even with a bra
>>
>>3028110
A good point! I figured my comment about the pelvis earlier was enough to point out what he needs to study but I should have been more specific.

Looking at >>3027879 specifically, he should start by studying relationship between the ribcage and the pelvis, and learning to draw them together from a variety of angles, because that'll make foreshortened perspective like he's trying to pull off here a lot easier.
>>

Explanation of >>3028146:


So >>3028068 's anatomy is pretty good, but the perspective is still wrong, causing some unnatural twisting.

Always remember the order of importance in art: Appeal (Contrast, composition) is #1, Perspective (if you're using it) is #2, and Knowledge of the subject is #3, in my opinion.

Perspective is always more important than anatomy. That's why cartoons look so good.

Try to work out the largest perspective first, even if you have to contain the entire figure in a box.

There are a lot of tips/tricks to use. Even cartoon perspective is helpful - close things overlap further, are bigger, and further things are smaller, and closer together.

Think of what you're drawing and ask yourself how close it is to your eyes/camera. Is it to the right of your eye? the line probably curves that way, to the left? above? Or below?

Remember all lines are, are edges that you can't see around. That's why planes facing your eye have no lines.
>>
>>3027766
hips are too narrow, she's built like a man. I think the problem might be her farther leg. It's too small. The perspective is not that distorted anywhere else on the picture so it reads as off.

Thicken the far leg to be closer to the near one and it will probably fix the issue.

Also be careful to match the perspective of the head, torso, and legs, even if they twist, SHOW the twist.

The face could use a bit of guidelines, the far eye feels like it's too high on the bottom for that perspective.

I realize that you probably referenced the legs but you have to fix the photo distortions, or maybe you messed up on the far leg - Study the reference and see where you went wrong. Or if you were constructing this without a reference, draw the other side that we can't see. Mostly it is a perspective problem.

Seriously, what are you cunts doing on 4chan? /ic/ specifically exists to get away from the dA/tumblr mentality that you kids are so obsessed with. I mean, you have all of the fucking internet to act like the effeminate castratis that you are, yet you choose to come to the one place where the rest of us go to escape. Why? If you want to masturbate each other and slurp cum all day, go somewhere else.
>>
>>3028186
Bitch I've been on this website for nearly 10 years, I can't stand any other hugbox mentality. But lots of /ic/ critiques are fucking worthless, it's good to see some change and not the usual "LOOMIS" chant

>>
>>3028186
Sorry little guy. I alllmost replied to you with a ':) you mad bro?' but my castratis kindness kicked in and I thought I'd reply to you like an adult. We're sorry you can't handle kindness, but that should pass once you leave your teens. There is almost no where you can go in this world on the Internet or off the Internet to escape the nasty way people treat each other, it's just more obvious on 4chan. If you wanted to be a true rebel you would join the kind people because they are the true rarities, here and elsewhere. I will pray for you.
>>
>>3028123
>What the hell is happening? /ic/ being helpful AND nice?
This is neither helpful or nice. This is sycophantic behaviour. Praising people who are genuinely terrible because you feel bad for them does not help them. Pretending to be nice to someone because you have low self-esteem is not the same as being friendly.
People come here because they want harsh, honest critique. Unforunately, that also comes with a side of trolling and shitposting, but that's still infinitely better than what you assholes are trying to turn this place into.

>>3028068
>>3028015
Don't redline if you're no better than the artist you're trying to help, you goddamn morons.

>>
>>3028200
How can you be so dishonest, it's obvious that the critiques are at least as good as the person they are critiquing. Who do you think you were fooling?
>>
>>3021539
He isn't even bad at anatomy and posing, he just doesn't do it. Watching his tutorials, his sketches are 1000 times better than anything he produces in his shitty style. All his males look like lanky manlets and all his females are literally made out of bionicle pieces.

I think the dude is talented but he has no idea what looks appealing to anyone outside of himself.

Who even talks like this? How did you even make your way to /ic/?

>>3028197
Ah yes. Passive aggressive cunts, who don't know what actual kindness is. That's exactly what /ic/ needs.
If people go to a place that's known for being harsh and honest, then you're not being kind to them if you act like a servile pussy. People have different mentalities, and /ic/ has up until recently had a very specific userbase who come here to get away from empty, superficial people like you. You're not being nice. You're being a sycophant, and you're only praising people because it makes you feel good.
>>
>>3028211
Stop trying to derail something actually productive. Either stop being passive aggressive and start pointing out the flaws in the redlines or fuck off.
>>
>Critique and redlines aren't useful because one artist didn't shit on another?
It doesn't have anything to do with shitting on people. It has to do with honesty. If you're constantly apologizing and telling people how fantastic they are with a big fat exclamation mark at the end of every sentence, you're contributing to a culture that doesn't belong on /ic/.

>>3028208
If you can't even tell how bad you are, how are you going to help someone else?

You're only shitposting because (you)s make you feel good

>People come here because they want harsh, honest critique. Unforunately, that also comes with a side of trolling and shitposting, but that's still infinitely better than what you assholes are trying to turn this place into.

Trolling and posting garbage is not infinitely better than anything. It's the norm here.

Your pretending to be 'cool' just to fit in on 4chan is completely transparent. If you had real guts you'd be like the people you're critisizing in the exchange above, who can give an honest and thorough critique without being mean spirited, or insulting. That is rare, what you're advocating, is not rare, it's not rebellious, it's the norm here.

And all real adults know that no one wants to actually put up with that. And you know it to, you're just trying to 'fit in' here, and it's probably because of your age, but it would be really nice if you joined the rare people and tried to make this a better place instead.
>>
>>3028221
I rarely shitpost, and I've probably done more redlines than you've done actual drawings.
>>
>>3028216
Maybe if you spent time studying and less time trying to demonstrate your lack of knowledge "redlining" you would be able to see the trash for what it is.

100% convinced you can't draw as well as the person you're criticising. I've never ran into anyone who says this sort of stuff who can actually draw as well as the person they are taking a crap on.

Why don't you show us how it's done and correct that drawing better than the person your crapping on, then maybe your comment will be worth something.
>>
>>3028200
>Don't redline if you're no better than the artist you're trying to help
not them and don't redline but I thought it'd be a cool exercise to do- "you learn by teaching" kind of thing. and then get your ass chewed out by other anons.
dunno how to easily explain that I'm doing it more for practice and my advice should be taken with a grain of salt though
>>
>>3028232
You can learn by finding the mistakes in others art and correct it, it's good problem solving practice.

You don't have to answer to the trolls, they aren't worth your time. They're only here for the conversation. And their conversations suck.
>>
>>3028223
Are you actually brainwashed enough to believe you're being mature, when you're displaying the exact kind of mentality that is the norm in every art community full of teenage girls?

If harsh criticism is so bad, why would people come here when there are hundreds of other art communities that spew the exact kind of bullshit you're promoting?

Also, the fact that you keep talking about the average culture on 4chan as something rebellious, says more about your age than it does about mine. There's nothing rebellious about wanting to preverse the culture of the board you've been a part of for more than a decade.

>And you know it to, you're just trying to 'fit in' here, and it's probably because of your age
I've probably been posting on /ic/ longer than any other regular posters, and if you want to insult my age, you're doing it wrong. If anything, I'm far too old for this shithole.
>>
>>3028220

Go ahead, make a better critique than this:

Who said harsh criticism was bad? Spreading trolling and garbage posting and being insulting and cruel, that's what was spoken against. Not honest criticism.

I'd say the critique you were calling down was pretty harsh/honest.

You know you're not fooling anyone here right? We know you're talking just for the sake of talking. If you actually were here for the art etc. you would have made your own critique, not wasted your time trying to convince people you were superior to them with your words.
>>
>>3028251

See this? This is the problem with you retards. You're blind to your own ego and think this is about you, about someone trying to prove they're better than you, THAT'S why they're here ruining your good vibes. Wrong, the reason people can't stand your shitty redlines is because it's like watching retards smear shit on the walls with other retards in the room you're occupying.
>>
>>3028235
I do still want an ass-kicking, but I just want them to know in advance I'm doing it for practice as well, not trying to pass of as a pro.

>>3028265
>tfw even still I don't apply (inverted triangle body type)
>>
>>3028261
Criticism should never be paired with apologies and fake encouragement. It just shows how insecure the people giving the criticism are, and if the person receiving this treatment has any kind of self-awareness, it's incredibly condescending to them.

>You know you're not fooling anyone here right?
Maybe you should grow the hell up and stop basing your entire world view on incredibly simplistic stereotypes.
I fucking hate these arguments and usually don't have the stomach to go back to them a day later if the thread is still up, as they eat up both my time and mood. But this needs to be said, so people like you don't destroy the few positive qualities that still remain on this board.

If you think that the only correct way of behaving in every situation is sycophanting niceness, then I strongly suggest you go see a psychiatrist. You're not well.

A lot of people react much better to direct and honest dialogue, and there's a huge problem in contemporary society because this is not recognized. /ic/ is one of the only art boards that provides people with this type of environment, and I'll be damned if I let you assholes destroy it.

The shitposting and trolling that goes on here certainly are huge problems, but that's literally impossible to deal with because the mods and janitors aren't doing their jobs. If people are given free reign to actively disrupt the board, there's nothing we can do about it. That doesn't mean the answer is to turn /ic/ into DeviantArt.
>>
>>3028278
I know what you're thinking, but that's not it. Redlines help me the best, because then I can see how the pose should actually look that I'm aiming for and I redraw it :)

There's a difference between real life and the internet. You're always going to have >>3028306's types, that just try to start shit at every chance from a place of anonymity.

Meant to point back to this one (>>3027965), as it's mine too.

I skimmed some of the conversation. I don't mind if a redline is not 100% perfect. It still helps me because the other person may have seen things that I missed. Or something that I am particularly struggling with may be easy for the redliner, and vise versa.

Because of the cut off being equal at the bottom, the arm being overlapped by the breast doesn't mak sense, even if it did make sense in the actual reference.

I like your sense of appeal. The detail vs. space of the hair vs face, making elements black, having contrast for focal points, enclosing your figures, and using the circle.

It's all appealing stuff I like!

I would say the eye doesn't quite fit the bone structure you have there in that realistic face, it hands too low and makes it feel a bit jarring.

If you're going to make a larger eye for appeal I think it can still work but play with the placement. Perhaps it's just the eyebrow being too small or low or something. I'm not sure what, but SOMEthing is off in that area.

Also the chin line is just ever so slightly off from the joining jaw line, you will want those to line up.

Overall not much critique I could say about this, this is a very nice picture. It will look great when you fill in the background with color or value or whatever you're doing. :)

Another example of what I want to achieve is Megumi Mizutani's style of shading, it's different from Ishikawa's, actually both styles inspire me a lot.

Just build it over top of the body. Constructed the same as you with the body, but over top. You don't even have to be that detailed about the torso and whatever is covered by the clothes, as long as the joint work/connect correctly. Try dressing a basic skeleton.
