Lmao he can't even pick colours right. How you gonna be an artist if you can't even come up with a good colour palette. I just steal all my outfit ideas from Pinterest ez
How autistic are you?

>>6680108
Only retards think their shit is good enough to be stolen. Post it

All of you guys are being faggots. If OP doesn’t want to share the outfit designs for their character and only trust people through social then you guys need to leave off it. There’s a lot of art theft going on nowadays so I don’t blame OP

you are a nigger and a faggot for making this thread.

If you can draw the same character design from multiple angles in the same amount of time, or less, it takes you to draw it once, it's a balanced design.

Visual library

OCs
Make a lot of them and put effort in it.

Do it a lot. What, did you expect some magic trick?

>>6679944
>>6679951
>>6680329
Wrong
>>6679942
Understand your audience. Who read garbage shonen like hunterxhunted? Edgelords, is killua edgy? Yes. Therefore, people like him.
If you care about character design you should look for somebody else though, Togashi is garbage at it and his manga get carried by the plot, not the visuals.

I smirked a little.

gmi

I wish I could paint like that but I barely know how to draw.

>>6679822
>I'm in the middle of my Romanticism phase
How does this reflect in your own art?

>>6679822
What's the greatest artistic period and why is it romanticism?

>>6680001
I don't have art. I haven't drawn anything since I was in middle school.

>>6680524

>I haven't drawn anything since I was in middle school
yep, checks out

Fan art is the way

>>6679818
I don't need to do fanart to be successful.

>>6679978
Trends really aren't that good for long-term engagement for the reasons >>6680175 outlined: you're basically pissing in a sea of piss. Only do trends if you find them actually fun to draw. If you go into them expecting to get a billion likes and followers overnight you will be sorely disappointed. It's a casino with the odds stacked a mile high against you.
If you want something that'll definitely help (not necessarily guarantee instant success, mind, but it's better than nothing), just find a niche and draw fanart of things you like. A lot of people here have the impression that fanart has to be this slog you have to do for the twitter algorithm and you have no passion for it yada yada yada when that really isn't the case. Unless you're a total media luddite there has to be /some/ game, show, movie or whatever that you enjoy, and drawing fanart for that is an easy win-win. It's definitely a bit more of an uphill battle if that franchise is really saturated (like nintendo stuff) but niche obscure anime/games generally have smaller, more attentive fanbases.
But yeah if you want followers, give people a reason to follow you- and drawing fanart of a series that you like is a pretty good reason

imagine literally jumping on bandwagons to use your art as a means of scraping attention instead of drawing what you love because you love drawing LOL

10 years later and /ic/ still has some delusion about trying to have an art career from doing nothing but posting porn on twitter hahahahahaha

>>6680315
You don’t draw

you could always do better

only when you do it because it looks like shit

I'm going to Alice

>>6679760
It can be used to show anxiety, make an image more frightening, or give a purposely sketchy look etc. Generally speaking though, yeah, it makes the image messier and busier than it should be.

does make nigger souls feel a bit more spooky

>>6679754
It's just a phase.

>>6679754
copying a photo’s composition isn’t drawing from reference
design the image as you want it and then look up reference for INDIVIDUAL ELEMENTS you need it for
if you can’t draw a figure sitting in a chair without a photo of one, you can’t draw

>>6679754
you need both
you need to have references in your head, otherwise you wont be able to draw anything

>>6679799
>>6680127
how do you draw the "texture" from your references?
for example, while i was doing my fundies i was drawing a fruit but i had a hard time trying to put it on paper for me it's like i'm analyzing each of the scratches and dirt like an autist and trying to draw it and it ends up looking like an inconsistent shit

>>6680567
Squint or take off your glasses to see what is important, draw some texture that is obvious, but don't sweat details like that, imply texture, don't have to copy it all outright. When drawing a wrinkled face, don't make a railroad of the poor old fella.

no video game seems fun anymore.

>>6679749
I actually have a drawing addiction because I developed a bad habit of procrastination when I entered university for engineering. Drawing makes my problems go away for only a little, much like what cocaine does to people.

>>6679791
you should be glad you feel this way instead of mindlessly droning about a videogame which accomplishes nothing but time loss.

>>6679928
She’s hot. Also, you’re gmi

>>6679934

>>6679727
I like current anime faces. The general idea of "anime style" on this board feels very outdated.

>>6679842
stay down sub human scum

I think a big part of appeal is how you draw faces. And drawing them perfectly realistic is a surefire way to erase any appeal from your drawing.

>>6679803
>>6679816
>>6679829
very nice

>>6679727
There are no standard desu. Even the "Tumblr style" have a huge fanbase. It up to the artist to discover what is pleasant and unpleasant to self and others

>>6679717
You could stop being a pedophile

>>6679935
You could stop perceiving me as a pedophile for drawing cartoons

>>6679908
Not that guy. It's insane how much of a shitstorm he whipped up for simply posting lolis in the loli general, though.

I posted in /lsg / once, they were nice enough. Pyw anon, I promise I won't say anything negative.

>>6679946
no one really cares ppl just shit posting

do another in 1 year

>>6679652
I will. My next piece won't have highlights that look like splooge, hopefully. It's in the notes for next time.

>>6679651
I see some improvement. Although in my opinion a lot of it looks traced. Tracing is fine if you're brand new though, since you get to see the contours of the body up close that you'd usually not see upon first glance. For now I would work on values and poses :) keep going anon!

>>6679702
Yep, it's mostly tracing :). I've found that if I do something on paper, I can kind of visualize what it might look like traced, so in my way I'm sort of "burning in" that shapes to see them more naturally on the page. Thanks for the tip!

I thought this one was nice, but the shading and anatomy sucks ass. Please work on the shading, just look up some tutorials on how to do it. And for the anatomy just look up human references, or drawings from other people, anime drawings tend to be inaccurate to human anatomy. They'll have long skinny fingers instead of meaty rounded fingers like humans do, so there's that to consider.

>>6679576
Practice.
And freehand circles are never "perfect", only "good enough"

>>6679977
can u free hand half a cricle?

The cranium isn't a perfect circle anyway, it's more like an egg with the sides shaved off a bit. As long as your cranium shape is vaguely spherical/ovoid it's ok.

>>6679576
>>6632682

>>6680080
Probably. The hardest part is looping the circle. But in general I don't have much line control. When I do those line exercises with curves, connecting dots etc. I get an okay result, but for someone who has been drawing this long I should probably be nearly perfect at this point. But I almost don't draw trad.

>>6679924
if you can progressively come to eat rather light and diverse that's great. Keep things simple: like toss pieces of raw veggies & fruits in a bowl, season to taste, and tada, here's a 5min prep delicious meal

meditation can help too.

doctors are weird. some of them are great, but some of them will just find way to make money of your back.

>>6679518
Go to a doctor and get a prescription for ADHD medication. Problem solved.

>>6679518
>unmedicated ADHD

aka self diagnosed ADHD. I wonder how much you work out. (you dont)

>>6680284
>unmedicated = undiagnosed
kill yourself.

>>6679518

Norms weren’t on the internet pre 2010 and everyone pretty much kept to their own communities. You’ve had your youtubers making fun of weebs wearing naruto headbands or western girls dancing to the Haruhi dance but that’s about it. Not until norms flooded the internet and influencers attacking the subculture; especially with Filthy Frank. Anime style was of course hated (in art communities) because everyone’s dog wanted to work at Blizzard on the next Xpac of WoW except most people didn’t know what it meant to be a concept artist. They just said “I wanna be a concept artist”.

>>6680317
>the original Castlevania plots
Plots? Which plots?

>>6680335
Beat bad guy
Save Damsel

Beat bad guy
Whoa you are a girl

Then Alucard came and finally, we get the more serious plots, even if they are comically over the top

Dracula is meant to be a staple villain that gets beaten over and over by the Belmonts
Netvania starting the plot by saying that the Belmont family got exterminated by the Church made me facepalm myself.

>>6680335
My biggest grip to Netflix vania would always go to Carmilla

In the game, she completely submits to Dracula. She's willing to betray her allies and offer her soul just to impress him. Carmilla is a seductress with obsessive love.

In the Netvania, she became a GoT character obsessed with power and all I can think of was what?

Why would you want to usurp Dracula when not even the Belmonts can kill him. Either you serve him or fight him. You don't get to replace him - that's Aria of Sorrow plot

TL:DR mutts should not change foreign IPs to suit their tastes. This also applies to non-japanese IPs as well.

>>6679988
yes

damn brat!
her arm is too short for the length of the torso (or vice versa) and nipples are a bit too low

>>6680070
really good tummy but the mouth is off and her eye is too big

>>6680070
cute belly, chest and cunny ToT

>>6679416
>>6679940
>>6680104
Try giving her the gerudo nose (stylized, not detailed like op)

>>6680104
>massive fuckoff eyebrows
I think shes plenty distinctive, broski

>>6679416
The pauldrons are kinda dumb. Either do a proper fur collar or pauldrons without fur with cape attached over them or to them. And, frankly, fur collar doesn't work with her light arabic inspired pants.

If you want fur in the neck area make her hair longer.

>>6680104
If you have to make your character ugly in order to be more distinctive, you're going about it wrong. Nobody wants to look at an ugly face unless there's a SPECIFIC reason as to why the character is ugly.

>>6679416
The top is kinda boring/low effort

I'd tell you but I don't want more competition

>>6679554

just so you know, the people who follow you for fanart follow you for fanart. you will get some who care about your personal work but a majority will just ignore it.

Keep that in mind so you can actually consistently sprinkle your content in between fanart rather than just drawing a bunch of fanart and expecting people to give a shit about something completely new and unrelated.

>>6679995
Eh, not really
If your art is good, people would follow you regardless of the theme of your art
Latching on a community just ensures that you can maximize exposure as much as possible
