I just got a new drawing tablet (pen and touch) and started sketching in photoshop.

I mostly draw in sketchbooks but I feel that it's time I broadened my horizons. Anyway this is literally the first sketch I've done with this thing.

Any tips for photoshop? I cant seem to find an easy way to rotate the canvas.

You might want to try out other programs besides photoshop. There's plenty of smaller programs that are easy to learn and still get the job done.

I tried.
Made the cranium smaller, changed the mismatched far eye, and brought the cheek in.
Flipping your canvas should help you find errors like these

>>3097969
1)Go to
Edit -> Keyboard shortcuts
Select "Shortcuts For": "Application Menus"
"Image" -> Scroll down until you find "Flip Canvas Horizontal"
Set an easy shortcut for it, i have Ctrl+F, which is originally used to apply the last filter you used again (i don't use filters, so i don't care).
With this, you can go around flipping your canvas any time you want.

2)Go to
View -> Proof Setup -> Custom
On "Device to Simulate" choose "Working Gray - Dot Grain 20%", and hit Ok.
Now every time you press Ctrl+Y, your canvas will swap between being displayed on normal colours, and being displayed on a grayscale, which is great to quickly check the values. Furthermore, because you are only changing the display (or view) and not really the pic itself, you can still paint with the actual colours while on this grayscale mode, if you want so

What was the original reference? Your skin tones are too similar to the hair, she looks like she has jaundice. Also pay more attention to the alignment of her facial features, studying asaro heads is really helpful imo. Also drop the heavily textured brushes for now and pay more attention to colour and value.

It really depends on what your end goal is. Photoshop has a lot of bloat and completely useless tools for certain kinds of artwork.
For example basic linework/rendering Sai gets the job done. For painting and animation Clip Studio is better in my opinion or Krita if you want free.

Photoshop was built for photo editing. Its evolved over the years for all types of digital art. But a lot of its features you wont use or need.

This belong here, since I'm literally working on improving my style by learning and imitating how other people ink and tone.

Some manga practice, nearly done.

Any tips for toning? I find that the ones that come with the program are a bit... wonky. They're not very flexible. It also doesn't have any gradient screentones.

Oh yeah, my goal with this btw is strictly to correct and improve the way in which I ink and tone.I don't very much care for how he draws faces or eyes, etc... but it's been good practice overall, For one, I've thus learned to use much thinner lines. .5 is the best size for inking most of your pages.

>>3099847
Kek
>>3099839
Its just a sketch,no need to be hyper critical. Sometimes chicken scratch rough drawings is more appealing than clean line work.

>>3099710
Its a nice rough draft and appealing but It does not have the animu aesthetic that you mentioned. It looks more like a generic Disney princess. Like Arial from little mermaid. And the insect on her nose also adds to the whole Disney princess look. I don't think that was your intention.

What is the best method to practice fundies is you just gonna go Eastern Stylization, I am talking about Loomis and friend

>>3098204
I don't know who kuro is, but thanks Nosebro.

NoseBro gonna have to say stop sucking dick, let a man have his mistakes to himself so they can learn and improve even more, fucking hate any of this circlejerk shit.

>>3099839
With that said you're just as bullshit with your comment. Eye isn't flat, the pupils however isn't in the correct spot. If you're going to look towards your nose area you're going to end up with the "crosseyed" look and from that angle I should be seeing that much pupil ass the horizon of the eyeball. And unless you're going to add muscle definition, having a more simplier detailed neck is fine as long as it's properly placed. Looks fine to me.

The chicken scratching isn't a retort, as long as the image is readable, which it is, then go chicken scratch for the sake of getting your idea out, this isn't the "clean and tidy" phaze you dip. Don't see how the googles are too attention grabbing, the entire head should be the focus unless it's the butterfly, which if it is I'd only swift the view closer to it or make it bigger to fix that. Composition is the one thing I'm clueless to what's bad about it, what's unclear about a head with a insect on top of the nose? Maybe if you mean how the head looks "tilted", not upwards but to one side maybe, but that looked intentional to not come of too stiff.

>>3099710
The only thing I really would fix is the pupil. If she's focusing on the butterfly, she should look more centered on it, instead of looking forward ahead.

>>3100063

Everything you said is wrong, except the chicken scratch part

the perspective is still wrong, you wouldnt see the front part of the pistol at this angle for example, its like the entire front part is bent towards the camera. also a proper pistol grip involves placing your index finger along the frame of the gun.

Because it's boring bland shit tackling a basic subject with little room for error and thus criticism.

Colors are in cohesion, but not eye opening. Forms and shapes aren't out of perspective or misshapen, but you tackled simple boxes and circular monsters. Even the dunning kruger shitters attempt a complex form like the human figure, there's more to talk about there. Try harder you lazy fuck

The people likely responding to this arent Battle Network fans. I see what you tried to do and I like it. However id suggest these changes.

The floors and background lines are very defined, yet the Spookys appear sorta lumpy. I get that you wanted to make them look like paintings but theres too much contrast in elements here. Id suggest better blending the shaded areas on the bodies and masks so they look more like a gradient. Areas of immediate concern are the left Spookys eyes and mask meanwhile the Spookys mask on the right is much better defined.

Secondly Id use a few layers for the eyes. Make a basic eye on one layer then another for detail and another for shading/gloss. Make the two front Spookys eyes more consistent.

Third is use a different texture or tool for the tongue saliva. It looks like cloth more than it does saliva.

And fourth, the wisp trailing under the middle spooky is a background element in relation to the front Spooky. Having it "leak" that much light on the first Spookys face is a criminal offense.

Finally, fix the area on the right. Its a mess.

i like firez progress and progression, i follow him on tumblr for ages now, i just think that a few of his newer works fall into the uncanny valley and that he should work on it, the video i posted just explains that one should either choose full stabilization or full realism, trying to blend the two always looks weird.

>>3100974
it's style retard

>>3100974
youre linking him a video as if it was physically possible for him not to known what that is, and you mentioned it 3 times in one thread. Above all your logic is flawed, as he gains skill he'll be able to draw just like he is right now and it won't be considered uncanny.

>>3100979
i have only mentioned it in this thread.
it is possible that others share the same opinion.
that video just highlights some things to remember as if o avoid that valley.
>>3100978
> stabilization
auto correct, meant to say Stylization

>>3100979
>as he gains skill
in other words, his stuff now is uncanny valley?
thats all people are saying, that right now, his stuff IS uncanny, not that he is always to be uncanny.

how can you even use that as an argument
>b-but in the future it wont be like this

thats not an argument, thats a prediction.

>>3100980
didn't even notice, I meant that's just his style. you may not like it, but others find an appeal in it

Trying to nail down the design of these two characters. As much as I dislike resorting to weird doll anatomy, I'm in burgerland so the places I post my art tend to have varying and arbitrary standards about nudity.

I've already spotted a few errors on my own (the girl's right iliac crest should be obscured in this perspective, which is why her hips are so weirdly wide, and neither of their footing is really conforming to any kind of plane) but I'd appreciate any critiques that could be offered.

Recently I've been trying to research an artist by the name of sergio aragones, and his stuff is really awesome.His style just seems to have so much appeal, although it looks really simple. He also seems to have so much fun and really enjoy drawing which is something that I find really hard to do. Any advice? Here is a video of him drawing at about 30 min in i think.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzac_3Y_Tng

>>3101389
Don't mistake simplicity of design for sloppiness or laziness. Compare what you're doing to what he does. Watching him draw, every line he puts down is so confident and necessary for whatever he's trying to express. Like he says in the video, he can draw like he does because of how long he studied how his subjects worked in real life. Do a lot more studies, style should come from understanding life and altering it. And don't forget to just doodle and draw a lot, if you get autistic about ""grinding"" and putting in some arbitrary "necessary" number of hours a day you'll sap all the fun out of it and you won't even be getting better, because at that point your practice will be mindless.

Sugarcoating things wont help anyone get better. If the OP is just looking for a quick and easy compliment, they could have just went to facebook/reddit and not a board for critique. You people are shameful.

>>3101682

I dont think uncanny valley is necessarily your problem but you mash a lot of details that look good individually, together with things that dont really match stylewise. This is like the thought process of people going for plastic surgery. They want something that looks good on paper but end up looking like a melted candle afterwards.

Also blending doesnt hide the issues, it just exacerbates them.

>>3101783

>Dont ask anyone for advice

Sums up the post in a nutshell.

Advice is just advice. Like an opinion isnt weighted on its objectivity. Take what you want from it. The problem is when a person takes nothing at all from advice. Which basically implies theyve hit perfection or dont desire any better.

So cut the bullshit. Maybe you didnt like what you heard but people genuinely want to help anons here. Whining and white knighting are easily the best ways to kill progress.

people are free to respond to critique. you are not immune just because your quote number is directed at someone who uploaded their work. just because you call them crying about it does not detract from their validity. you imply confusion misleadingly as you are not confused at all, only trying to further imply the party in question is not in full control of their facilities and thus detract from their validity.

all in all, your post was pointless/10. get some tact.

KEK
Firze and Nosebro are cancer

One's a shit artist and the other one keeps sucking his dick for no reason

You faggots made this thread hard to go through

Also every time in any thread Firez ever posts it always turns into a shitstorm, not because >people are jealous of him
but because his stuff really is shit and he wouldnt admit it
his "style" is absolute fucking garbage and he's getting worse over time

Which is a shame since he has the potential to be a decent artist, some of his studies on his tumblr dont make me puke. However if he does keep pushing this ugly, god awful, putrid style meme he isnt gonna go places other than maybe /beg/

My boy seriously you should try studying real life anatomy. Or if you are gonna study from someones style then chose someone with nice anatomy like norasuko. And by study I mean figure out why he did what to whichever part of the body you want to study. Because I see your attempt at tits on the right and your attempt at hands on the left and its obvious you need the real life study. Also the neck on the right looks weird, I like the collar bones though.

Also, mad props for FINALLY starting to try other shit even if you cant draw them well rn. When I started to come here all you posted was the same head over and over again, I at one point thought you were just posting the same pic as part of some stupid troll. But keep it up and dont give in.

I did learn a lot though, especially when it comes to toning. I'm gonna make this a routine and do one of these a week, and then one of my own pages to assimilate this into my own natural style. It was great practice.

I do have one question I hope someone here can answer.

How do I stop THIS from happening? Whenever I resize or compress my image, all my screentones get totally fucked. But if you look at the original image on the left, the tones are perfectly preserved despite going through the same treatment.

All the shadows and forms seem have no temperature (nothings cool or warm). There is a video on youtube from nathan fowkes "Better Options for Color Vibrance"
He explains that stuff pretty well.

i just played around with warm lights and cool shadows on the overpaint and then i upped the saturation.

Having a hard time with eyes... anyone have any pointers or tricks I can Try?

>>3103331
Rule of thumb.
Eye seperation should be of a single eye length.
Height of each eye should be identical at any angle.
Remember to look at references.

>>3103702

Hmm. Have you studied figurine photography? Maybe you can jack the finishes/textures.

>>3103723
please don't namefag like Nosebro. you're only making yourself a target and making yourself look like a massive faggot.

>>3103730
Thanks man!!. I did it as a kind of practise, i want to work by making concept for statues/figures, but there is really lacking a touch on the textures, i'll try to make them better.

your old people need different face/head shapes, emphasis on jowels and shit, and more wrinkles around the cheek area

your head is just wrong. If you want her looking down you need to change the necks position.
