Remember, don't be a big meanie https://my.mixtape.moe/fivxol.png
Hello! I worked on this a lot today. As you can probably tell, I'm not experienced with backgrounds at all, but I'm trying to improve! May I have some pointers on what to work on?
Did this up quick to meet a deadline but now it got extended and I wanna re-do it but I also should probably just move along and work on drawing up info on their world and species.
>>3130960
As much as I hate your style, I respect you for being able to consistently finish stuff.
>>3130965
appreciate it, i get that my content and style isn't for most people
>>3130972
That's fine. Fuck everyone else, do what you want to do. How often do you do studies?
>>3130973
like pure anatomy studies, not all that often, and when i do, i usually turn them into drawings as well, they rarely stay as such cause if i like it, i wanna make something out of it, tho i've been encouraged by an artfriend irl to not view em as a waste of good graphite
>>3130980
Honestly, I feel like that's what's holding you back. You have two type of artists. Type A does too much personal work and not enough studies and therefore doesn't improve as much. Type B does too much studies and doesn't do enough personal work( me) and as a result doesn't improve that much. It's important to maintain a healthy balance between studies and finished work.
>>3130673
she shouldn't be able to turn her head all the way like that
>>3131008
well, considering all the advice i've gotten on here longer than 'kill yourself' has been helpfull in some way, i'll take this to heart and try my hand at some studies, tho i can't gaurantee a radical shift in my comic style, since that looks pretty close to how i want it to, it might help in some way so who knows
>>3130673
stop drawing like an egyptian

>>3131099
how do you know his age?
>>3131104
someone asked to see some of their non-porn work, posted here cause they didn't want to be off topic in the other thread
I thought I'd use CTRL PAINT to get started but since I'm using Clip Studio this might not be the smartest thing to do as I noticed they're using Photoshop.
I'm the sort of person who works best when handheld sadly and would love some sort of digital roadway to get me into digital. Any ideas please?
>>3131093
This is a bit ridiculous because you're miles ahead of me, but I felt like she's falling, so unless you were drawing an ortho view, I'd move one of the feet under her center of gravity.
Maybe flip between them a bit.
Awesome work btw, I hope to be as good as you one day.
>>3130960
I love your art style, do you have a blog or something where you powt your stuff?

What am i doing wrong?
Working on a painting, any advice on doing hair?
>>3131739
You prolly switched acidentally to CMYK colors. You will always be exporting as RGB, and should thus be working in RGB.
>>3128817
>>3128649
>>3129640
Trying to use some of the critique/suggestions and fix up some of the issues.
>>3129082
I unfortunately didn't move the face down, however.
I wanted to get this fixed up Friday/Saturday, but I ended up being pre-occupied with other things this weekend.
How does this work for a more complex pose? Anyone have any examples?
>>3132072
Krenz and 0033 has examples. Krenz especially because he's so precise for whatever reason despite being a painter. 0033 just has hundreds of views for you to see. If you mean really complex poses like 3, 4, 5 pt. perspective, you just need to watch your VPs.
lol
>>3131796
I work in an RGB profile of my monitor which is 99% Adobe RGB color space (more than sRGB)
>>3131739
Lacks orange bounce light on the character also add more colors your values on the character is not right also needs darks on the hair and face.
Crit before I play with color?
>>3131438
I remember this from last thread. It's clean, but I think you could go back to your sketch and tighten up the proportions and put more information into it. My 2¢
>>3132116
do you have a blog?
based on those russian children's book illustrations
I been avoiding heads for like a year. I don't know why I avoided it for such a long time cause it's actually kinda fun but harder than anatomy. Been studying from yoshinari and loomis, you guys know any other similar artist like yoshinari? that draw cool looking heads and preferably that i can find their sketches online?.
crits?
>>3132238
Blog?
Fsugoi
when i flipped it horizontal it looked wonky as fuck. idk, what do you guys think?
>>3132252
Its a shitty redline I know.
There were other small mistakes too, but this would be a good place to start.
>>3132272
ty bromodachi
>>3132203
Absolutely gorgeous work. Blog?
>>3132206
if you know Yoshinari then you should know Imaishi, he works with Yoshinari at trigger or Ken Ishikawa, the creator of getter robo, i find them cool but i dont know if they are the thing you are looking for.
by the way, right now im studying Loomis and im not good at all but in the future i want to get an style similar to dowman sayman is there any steps i should follow or is just copy paste until i get good at it
>>3130657
Nitori looks cute.
>>3132295
Why did it skip? They were walking down the street, the next moment, they're fucking each other.
>>3132297
this is just a drawing i wanted to do in the meantime, not part of the comic (yet)
>>3132299
I'm curious, are you a gguy or a girl?
>>3132318
i'm a dude
Does anyone know of any female figure tutorials for anime style? Thanks.
>>3132250
Isn't that traced from that hibiki drawing? If not, do you have a blog?
>>3132323
>> dat photo
That explains your style of drawing faces.
>>3132058
I can’t think of much else to improve. I guess onto the reverse side? (Restating that I’m making a shrink-film keychain based on the illustration)
>>3132439

>>3132323
>legitimately has downs syndrome
That explains a lot.
>>3132323
Sure looks like it. That's the first thing that came to mind when I saw your picture
>>3132886
Yeah I really shouldn't be slacking off myself ATM but I had try.
>>3132900
man, today is not your day for replies
>>3132285
Man I wish I could give you good advice, but I'm struggling with it myself. What I've been doing though is trying to analyze Loomis, not just copy his drawings, like I'm pretty sure you need really solid head construction understanding to be able to develop a style of your own, obviously you can take inspiration from other artists which means yeah copy their drawings, but also apply what you studied from Loomis. Also read Masseti's force human anatomy it's a pretty good book.
>>3132153
isn't this guy atto something?
How do people practice drawing heads/eyes in more alt/anime style? I see so many people just bang them out like nothing but to me it is completely alien. Like how do you practice this shit? There's no real teacher on it like actual figure drawing, so that's why I'm completely lost.
>>3132945
Copy them until you get the feel for them and then try to replicate it from memory. Repeat until good. Then maybe find specific eyes you like. People who bang them out like nothing have it in them as muscle memory or they have a good memory of eyes. For future reference though, if you want to practice anything in art, you copy it, a lot.
>>3132323
is this really him?
>>3132962
It is, he's posted it long before and got the same reactions.
>>3130657
what do u think
Still working on this (really slowly i know, im rendering in between workstuff)
Hopefully its just rendering a bit more and calling it done. Thanks for all the critiques
>>3131188
Cute!
>>3132964
how retarded must you be to post your own face on some random image board..
>>3132250
Tried some color.
>>3133048
perspective bruh
>>3133048
face work on the face. Then it will be good..
>>3133125
don't mirror flip if you're drawing in a style that's more complex than using basic geometric shapes in a vector program, it looks bad
>>3133125
the eyes are too far apart and the mouth is a bit too low.
>>3133243
when i say basic geometric shapes in a vector program i basically mean like graphic design styled shit
>>3132077
>0033
This nigga knows what's up, studying and applying 0033 to my figure practices has helped me immensely
>>3133044
Keep up the grind, my nigga. Some of the girls you draw are cute, keep it up.
redrew it. Better than the old one?
>>3133039
what's the worse that can happen?
>>3132058
>>3132666
cool.
take with a grain of salt
Trying to challenge my perspective. I'm not even really sure if his legs should be in view or not.
>>3133504
you shouldve spent your time helping someone else, this is barely an improvement.
>>3132323
i could recognize you just from your teeth, a bar through your eyes does nothing. i hope your mom finds out.
>>3133523
congratulations, do you want a cookie?
>>3133518
blog? nice head
>>3133048
Be consistent with your edges, dude. If you're going for a cell shaded ms paint look, stick with that decision and don't blur her tail and bra.
>>3133528
Thanks brov, Haven't really branded yet. Really I just draw random garbage to entertain myself.
>>3132323
Aight imma post my face too, maybe we should make a thread for this

Fiora from league of legs
I'm allegedly done working on this but I'd consider it unfinished. I know I have a lot I need to improve on. Any form of crit is appreciated even if its telling me to shove loomis up my ass.
head was too small, corrected it, added hairline
>>3133594
Was? it still looks like a coconut.
>>3133594
added detail
>>3133317
Thanks buddy i'll try my best
>>3132596
ok followed
>>3133594
those proportions are horrible, sorry anon
>>3133450
I like the second pose more.
>>3133587
its fine but extremely boring
>>3133681
Jesús you fucked the neck bad
trying nosebrah style
>>3133504
that face looks like shit lmao
you rite about leg and neck tho
>>3133587
Hairline is extremely low. Everything is really flat. Learn the planes of the face and neck anatomy
>>3133587
You should probably focus on values and edge control. There's too little contrast in the skin and too much in the hair. This can be a stylistic choice, but the way you've done it isn't successful as it looks flat and unbalanced. It's also pretty boring and flat looking overall, I'd suggest looking at some artists that are known for portraits of pretty girls and study what they do to create interest and appeal from piece to piece. Do spend some more time with Loomis' drawing the head book as well.
The proportions, the adult's neck, anything. Redline please somebody halp.
red line would be appreciated.
>>3133885
>>3133917
this is worse, never redline again
>>3133749
Yea I forgot to draw the trapezius muscle, my bad.
>>3133917
you turned her left arm into a crab claw and I can appreciate that on a comedic level
>>3133930
literally lol, cannot unsee
>>3132323
Grow more beard or don't pls
>>3132600
Cute face, rest need work
any glaring flaws before i move forward?
thoughts?
>>3133519
Wat
>>3133953
her shoulders are dislocated/ too broad, what the fuck is she doing with her right hand, try doing that yourself, you're not gonna be able to do that without fucking breaking your hand
>>3133828
I apologize , this is a very quick redline, but it doesn't really fix (anything) the fact that the proportions are incorrect, the pose is stiff, and it feels pretty flat, I would suggest Loomis haha. I suck i'm sorry.
>>3133519

>doesn't look like a rat

>>3134190
Try to think in terms of foreground, mid ground, background, far ground, etc. so that your picture is more readable, don't spend more than 20 minutes per sketch. also think about your composition, rule of thirds, golden ratio, and FOCAL POINT.
>>3132203
>based on those russian children's book illustrations
What are those? Mind enlightening me anon?
>>3133519
>you shouldve spent your time helping someone else,

Hello, beginner here, roast me
>>3134508
Go to the beginner thread.
I'm stuck, need some help :( especially with her aviator hat/glasses and her lower right arm position. feel free to redline or correct anything else
I always end up liking my doodles more than my focused drawings...
>>3133518
Found a pose I like, Gonna struggle through the rest.
>>3134672
It's because you're likely forcing something that might not work for you. The one thing I've learned is that formulas and strict guidelines in the drawing are good to introduce concepts but they won't solve the problem completely for you. "Focused drawings" don't do jack shit until you actually apply them- When you apply them you will learn what needs to be perfect and what doesn't need to be in order to get a good result. Don't do this and you'll end up like Nosebro or worse, one of those Dunning Kruger Loomis /beg/gars who have simply replaced their old symbols with new ones.
TL;DR Doodles are more instinctual than forced studies so they end up having more appeal naturally. Figure out how you draw when you doodle and study high skilled pros who draw like that. Eg: Someone whose drawn lots of comics and anime with flat shapes and silhouettes when they were young would probably prefer to draw with shapes like animators and comic artists.
>>3133518
>>3134692
>tries to challenge themself with perspective

>>3134709
You're right. How should I improve the original pose then?

>>3135006
>Also, a gorgon wouldn't have a belly button, as snakes lay eggs.
In that case they also wouldn't have tits, but just like with mermaids, it's still a design choice almost everyone makes for obvious reasons. Start thinking like a designer and not like a contrarian consumer trying to sound smart by bringing up shit everyone knows.
I realize that I have just enough time for one doodle per thread.

1) Firez and NoseBro aren't comparable. They aren't even remotely in the same league.
2) Firez still gets roasted every thread, what are you talking about?
I just realized by looking at the previous wip on my phone that the saturation on my laptop is very overstated. :/
>>3135969
Thanks anon, I can give you a critique, I think I am not bad at giving it and I am actually much better at pinpointing mistakes in the works of others rather than those of mine.
>>3136023
Say what you want about his style but Nosebro construction is very solid and his lines are quite clean, I just wish he would attempt to do more polished/finished works.
>>3136023
people still insult us both, also we are improving over time so we eventually will deserve whatever praise we get.
>>3136035
as i gain skill, my drawings become more and more completed. the moment i can draw everything in one continuous line without mistake is the moment i peak as an artist. give me another 4 years im sure ill make it.

Someone told me the right Link looks weird/elongated, but I don't know how to fix the anatomy of the torso
pls help
>>3136175
the main problem isn't the torso's length, it's the hips- they're very small compared to the rest of the body and that's making everything look wonky. both figures have this problem, but it's more obvious on the right because of his pose. When you fill them out a bit it looks much more natural.

I think it'd be a good idea to try the pose you're drawing. There are some things off about that hand- mostly in how the remaining digits don't curl up and if the finger is supposed to be pushing against the face, there isn't any weight being shown in your drawing.
