I know this is a but if a stretch but I'd like to request

what i never get about theses threads is why everyone who wants something hand-drawn cleaned-up always daws on graph paper or ruled paper... is it because everyone smart enough to draw on blank paper is also smart enough to properly digitize their own drawings? honest question - it just baffles my mind! blank paper isn't hard to come by and allows for more creative freedom anyway, yet it's always lines or checkers everywhere in threads like this...

a close second is the ever-present massive fucking shadow over half the drawing.

you people, i tell you what... sorry for hijacking your thread and i really don't want to be rude to you or anything. i get that you're not even asking for a strict clean-up and more for a redraw, but i'm genuinely curious what the thought process is.
>i'm drawing something i want to later digitize and use...
>let's add a grid of useless lines in the background!
>and let's fuck up the values and contrast by casting some nice shadows all-over!

I could see your point, but this was just something I sketched on train on my way to work. It's not even required for what I'm using it for, but I though the use of images would increase the quality of the thread.

To answer you question I'd imagine the prevalence of lined or graph paper is due simply because it's easier to get some level of symmetry in the drawing. I used the lines to try and get things similarly sized.

the least you could is take a decent picture from a frontal angle with good lighting and also crop out everything that is unnecessary.

Would you prefer the image specifically? With none of the added text? I placed that their just to clarify the details of my shit drawing. As far as lighting goes I'll do my best to get it clear and bright, I'm pretty shit as pictures to begin with

to something like this?

>>113024
that took me a couple of mins but if you wanted a drawing from scratch i don't think that something you could get for free at least not with decent quality.

>>113024
That looks much better and yes that's essentially what I was asking for. I understand I'm asking for free labor so I don't expect much, however if you wouldn't mind "blending" (I think that's the term) the lines a bit? You don't have to, what you've done is plenty, but if you could make him look like a more cohesive unit? Ex: the shoulder pauldrons look like growths from the shoulders, the fingers look attached.

Again you don't have to do that and I'm thankful for what you've presented me with.

that could be it, thank you for the answer

cleaned up >>113024 a bit if anyone wants to continue working on it or maybe do some shading

works on my end. do you have issues with PNGs with transparency? here's a non-transparent version

>>113051
I guess I do, I'm viewing this on mobile via the clover app, so that might have something to do with it. By the way this looks great, thank you. I really appreciate you guys helping me.

As a question to any artist viewing this thread , what would you charge for a more detailed redraw of 3 images similar to this?
