That's something I've been meaning to hone.

>>14835415
I'm more of a pen guy, but from what I know, people say B pencils are good for shading.
I wouldn't go harder than 1H for shading.

Don't like wings?
Also, something I'm working on. It's not very good so far and I will either have to rework a lot of this, or just toss the idea.

>>14847770
Do they look that awkward?

>>14847814
The poses of the wings are fine, it's just that they don't really seem to have much detail or effort as the rest of the pic does. It's sort of like a footfag's casual artpiece- the feet would be uncomfortably detailed while the rest of the picture not so. An inverse of that, if you will.

>>14847878
I've never noticed that before. I don't dislike drawing wings, but I guess I did half-ass them a bit.
Interesting analogy by the way

>>14847878
>>14847750

I thought the wings look good like they are. For me, I see the focus being on Okuu, and detailing the wings more than necessary would detract the main part of the art.
I guess it would look too "busy".
But that's imo, so please don't feel inhibited by me.

>>14848471
You're right that detailing the wings more than necessary would make the image look too busy, but as it is, the wings are detailed less than necessary, making them look strange when placed under closer scrutiny.

Progress on my picture. I'm still not too sure about it.

>>14848553
A few things:
-right ear is too skinny compared to the left
-right eye is too huge compared to the left
-the mouth is strangely placed, it should be somewhere below her nose

Check some 3DPD 3/4 view references to see what I mean.

>>14848573
>-right ear is too skinny compared to the left
Yeah, I'm trying to figure out how to make it look thicker while keeping in line with the perspective as best as I can.
>-right eye is too huge compared to the left
Noticed that long ago. Was trying to figure out how to get it to look better, but I don't know if I should make the left eye bigger or the right eye smaller.
>-the mouth is strangely placed, it should be somewhere below her nose
It's kind of a placeholder.
I'm also figuring out her left side of her hair.

Something like this could help. All I did was resize. I only drew one line to help separate the eye from the hair.

I wish I could give you a redline but I'm not great at anatomy myself. I can at least help the issues become a little less glaring though.

>>14848615
The eye looks nicer than before, but the ear's, eh... I kinda want it to face the viewer. The hair's also much better.

>>14865458
I think I see what you're doing with her hips. The second piece has her anatomic right hip somewhat disappearing. Since she's rather voluptuous, she should have an obvious hip/butt.
Not sure if you've tried this, but try posing yourself in the position you'd like your characters to be in (unless you have a better source).
Hope this helps!

Added a bit more oomph to the right side of her lower body and moved the ribbon over so it doesn't look like it's eating her hips. Moved a couple other lines and touched up the eyes as well.
I still can't get it to do what I want though.
I think I just need to call it on this one and stick to simpler things until I know what people look like and can handle perspective on limbs. Her left leg is supposed to be bent at the knee and somewhat in the foreground "in front" and on top of her right leg.
I tried posing myself but I can't see my knees from the front and for some reason I'm not wearing a dress. I should get one of those pose-able models.

I'd say it looks better. Keep it up! I like it. Instead of a dress, a simple blanket/cloth may work for you.
I've been where you are before, not getting things to work accordingly. I notice you haven't added shading yet, which could really bring out perspective.
I still recommend posing unless you have something better of course. And yeah, easier said than done.

>>14886846
Thanks. I'm a writer but my mind works very visually and I feel that art is the only way I can truly express my stories. A few weeks ago I just said "fuck it" and decided that I was going to become an artist no matter what. This comic in particular is basically a shounen fighting manga with cute girls and danmaku, and that kind of over-the-top action just plain doesn't work in prose.

To be fair, I can't deny that I also wanna draw 2hu porn

But man is this going to be one tough journey. How do the Japanese get so good? Most western artists, even the best, just can't reach them. Hell, other asians can reach that level but I've seen so few non-asian artists that can reach the level of the thousands of amazing Japanese artists on Pixiv.

>>14889767
I assume it's because they grew up around more "detailed" artistic influences on average than westerners would. Take something like say, Dexter's Laboratory vs. some anime of that time. Obviously, weebness aside, there's likely to be more detail in the latter than the former. I feel that some of their skill stems from that, somehow. I'm not very good with words, so it's hard to explain exactly what I mean.

Actually there is a reason why nips are averagely better artista than the rest.
its the runes. since when they are little, they train their brains into remembering and drawing complex graphic symbols that have multiple meaning, and may or not actually resemble what they stand for
This training, coupled with the typical "no slacking" asian culture makes them very apt in what is called symbol drawing, aka stylization

>>14893463
pretty sure it's because japanese schools actually have art class, nothing to do with kanji

>>14893512
American schools actually have art classes too.
Though I suppose you mean classes with actual art teachers, not either middle-school teachers who just make you do "fun" stuff or high school teachers who give you very little in the way of actual art training.

>>14893869
American art classes are a joke, if you want to learn, you better do it yourself.

I hate drawing. But, I like making music.

What sould i fix? The line, the colors, the face...
I also think Its not as good as it could be, but I can't see the reason.
I also did a traditional version with ink and watercolors, but I dont like how it turned out. Pic related

>>14906060
is this the hand drawn version? the colors are excellent!

>>14905313
>I find this very hard to look at.
Oh. How come? Is it the lines? The detail? The angle the thing is flipped?

>>14907696
Mostly the angle for me. The lines look nice.

>>14909870
Yeah now that its rotated upright I can actually mentally process those dank memes.
Usually people try the upside-down thing to hide bad anatomy but this is actually pretty solid.

Did you draw this then rotate it after the fact or did you actually draw it upsidedown?

It looks like the chair is missing lines between the fingers on the knobs.

>>14910676
As in, there's lack of detail on the sides of the chair's hands? I'm a bit sleepy, so pardon the confusion.

I do appreciate the feedback, anon.

>>14910536
>Also, I want to know if I'm the only one who does this with their WIPs.

What do you mean?

>>14912254
Probably redlining his own stuff.

>>14912254
>>14912944
Actually, the red lines was because I wasn't bothered to use a different color, but I guess you can call it that.
I was more or less referring to whether or not people do more with their sketching than they should, detail wise. I hear they have your head for that shit in art class.

>>14913025
That really wasn't apparent from your post.. Anyway, the main problem is that it's a seriously bad habit to spend too much time on something at any stage of a piece, and many tend to focus on irrelevant details before they have even the basic form done.
This often leads to further reluctance to discard a flawed sketch, and even more time wasted trying to fix things instead of doing things properly.

How much detail you add and how long it should take obviously depends on what you're trying to do and how skilled you are. Sketching a form shouldn't take any time, but you can't plan composition without basic detail. Redrawing a more detailed sketch can be useful before drawing the final piece, but it all boils down to being efficient and purposeful.

Classes tend to be about tried and true methods that lead to reliable results, but it's not like you can do art "wrong"..

I'll post again later tonight

I haven't drawn anything in almost 2 months.

But take this Marisa I did last.

In retrospect it's quite generic with really no movement to it. Just a portrait, I was testing out some markers/pens I got.

>>14924506
Her face looks a little odd, but I like the style, and I like whatever tools you used. What did you use to draw her?

>>14918139
Is that still being worked on? I've never played the game myself, but I have a friend from /tg/ who plays and seemed interested when I mentioned I had seen someone working on a 2hu mod for it.

>>14925638
.5 Roller ball pen for the outlines/hatching, .7 roller ball for darker lines, and a brush tip pigma for the fills.

I got a set of pigma pens as a gift and this was my test of them, pretty much.

>>14926456
it's not that hard to get started everyone's shit at first and mostly everyone's still pretty shit

just /ic/ and practice and you'll git gud

Speaking of practice, I have no motivation to draw.

Someone give me a 2hu to attempt.

I am pretty sure talent is barely a factor.

See: That one pixiv artist who drew Komachi every single day. The first bunch are all really shit, but you can see him getting better over hundreds of images. I wish I could remember his name and if he is still drawing Komachi

>>14926491
Yeah, I mostly have issue with the latter two factors, I have already accepted my lack of talent.
It's really demotivating when you draw something and it looks like shit, even when you expect it to due to your lack of skill and the slow process of improvement just hammers in the idea that you are going nowhere even after working hard.
Then you give up, wait some time, start having fun drawing again and then repeat the process, this cycle is really bad for your self-esteem.
