Beautiful picture!

>OP pic
shitstorm inbound

Does anyone know of any animu or manga that make good use of cross hatching?

>>1740865
Vagabond and Berserk.

waiting to get an answer about black and white values first, does this work ? Do I have to reduce opacity later when I apply colors ? cause all I'm doing is smudging back at full opacity.

calm down draaaaaavens.

>>1740865
vagabond and berserk being the most obvious answer.

I came across tons more but I'm not gonna bother searching on my vast collection of nippon artbook.

>>1740873
pls more

Does anyone have a working link to Azdrawing? I keep finding dead links.
Is there other programs that are fun to mess around with?

They ended up having an argument in the last post didnt they? critique welcomed, Its suppose to be in space so, shit on my ego please

Work in progress

>>1740865
Junji Ito's works

i-i-i- d-drew you a-all s-s-something-g...

>>1740995
No you didn't.

>>1740394
my two cents on the legs

>>1741115
Much better, thanks! I need much, much more Loomis and learning how light works.

I'm trying to desing characters but I have some troubles making them look like the same, any advice?

>>1741168

>>1741172
that's great!! thank anon!!

some translation notes here.
iF ur not japonaise

>>1741115
Do you (the one who fixed) have a site with your stuff?

>>1741172

>>1741277

I think I'll come back to this in a few days. I'm really paranoid.

>>1740868
There's no reason to not do it at full opacity. It helps with practicing your value control too. As for coluring values, it's a bit tricky and involves layer blending modes. This might help.

>>1741294
The upper part of her head is huge, i don't know if you tried to show the upper part of her
head but it didn't work out, it looks as if she has an alien head.

>>1741295
many fucking thanks anon.

>>1741294
Raise her mouth man.

>>1741294
Her pupils are fucking huge. She has that same glassy eyed look that dolls have. At least show more of the whites of the eyes next time.

My scan is broken

>>1740881
not that guy but
it´s darkstalkers the artist is bengus

http://snesorama.us/board/showthread.php?171338-(Artbook)-Darkstalkers-Graphic-File

In a attempt to get out of the worst art-block i've ever had I made this thing..
Any comment or critique is appreciated

>>1740857
original character (R) do not steal

Does /ic/ have an opinion on this? Shading for the first time in months because I thought my draw was too shit. Looks way better than I used to manage but looking for advice to keep in mind next time.

>>1741517
Is the darkgray spots/arrows on the sides supposed to be light sources? if that is the case be sure to keep them in mind when rendering. Don't be afraid to have more contrast between your light and shadows.
The characters seems sweet.. Something odd about the boys' eyes tho.. Try mirroring it to see what i mean.
Keep up the good work ^^

>>1741503
deviantart worthy i must say 10/10
all jokes aside I hope you didn't spend too much time on this :/ looks very flat

>>1741168
I think the character seems recognizable. be careful about the nose on the sideview. I doesn't seem to correspond with the rest of the drawings because it's too big

>>1741536
check the filename

>>1741540
I checked the filename. I doesn't say how long the anon used on the joke

Somebody judge this please ? I'm not going for a hyper realisitic style, I'm going for a more simplistic style because I one day hope to make an animated series. Kind of like a mixture between Family Guy and DBZ

>>1741545
Color with a solid brush/paint bucket or something similar instead of airbrush to achieve more of that simplistic style. Also color beneath your lines, instead of on top of them.
Happy drawing~

>>1740761

>>1741640
I still can't make the features of her face. Is the big circle an eye or are her eyes hidden under her bangs? Where's the nose? Is that little shape a mouth or something else? Where is she facing?

>>1741294
Give her eyes some whites, man.

>>1741545
It sucks

>>1741294
I would suggest starting over. there are just too many problems with your construction.

>>1741499

I really like this anon

I think you already know you need to work on your feet, they're tiny and don't foreshorten well. The only other thing that looks weird is the chest connecting to the arm on the left, and the general smallness of the chest when compared to the thighs. These are really small things though and can be easily overlooked because the concept outweighs that.

>>1741294

>>1741783

now we're looking at something decent. Eyes are likely too low but otherwise this is good.

>>1741766

Shading is a bit wonky there, Miku. I don't like how the left eye looks like a panda's.

Also something about the mouth being too low and the features misaligned with the chin.

>>1741294
>Trying to paint tone while having those sheets of carbon/metal flattening the whole image

>>1741172

Speaking from my lofty vantage point above two tits, sometimes the nipples get hard because of the temperature or just because. They don't really need a reason so don't feel like you have to draw them soft.

>>1741294
wtf is wrong with her mouth? she looks like a toddler, man. That's creepy as fuck.

>>1741783
Much better.

Can't wait to be done with this.

Can't wait to be done with this.

>>1741907
well don't rush.
rushing will only waste more time with anything.
its looking good, something about the composition and ratio is the onlything annoying me, cant put my finger on it though, it might be that it is too top heavy, and in a "weightless" theme "heavy" is the last thing you want.
maybe extending the black downward just slightly more.

lines are god like though.

help

>>1741958
Actually, the lines are quite bad. The lack of lineweight makes it look like a complete mess and it's very hard to distinguish the figures.

>>1741743
>>1741499

I'm glad you like it, anon.

I struggled a lot with the feet, and i'm going to work more on that shit.
I see what you mean with the chest and i'm going to look out for disproportions like that, next time.

Just now i noticed that his right arm i way thicker than his left.

I want to draw anime porn. Where do I start?

Besides anatomy of course..something I am working on at the moment

>>1742244
My two cents:
Porn is basically anatomy+angles+an erotic idea
For example, that pose is simple and not attractive, is lacking erotism.

>>1741766

How about you stop focusing on gimmicky shit like whatever the fuck's going on in the eyes and actually git gud mikufug

>Wow mikufag you're improving so well

Absolute horseshit and most likely carefully manicured samefagging

can someone help me fix the face or spot mistakes ? after i handle the mistakes i will continue rendring. and what outfit idea you like ?

>>1742295

Looks like her ribcage fused with the abs. Also that's a really fucked up butt. I don't want to imagine how wide it is compared to her torso.

>>1740857
how do i into uncanny valley

>>1742312
that's not even close to uncanny valley

i give

>>1742295
Seems unbalanced and doesn't really show the weight of the character or that the foot is in contact with the ground.

Is she walking or running? Or just standing awkwardly on one leg?
It would help the face a lot if you dropped the voldemort nose, and tried something different.

To be honest i don't really like any of the outfits but if i have to pick one it would be number two.

>>1742327
As always you've got really nice rendering.
I noticed a lot of your stuff.. Do you ever draw something other than the strangely ripped Rin's?

>>1742312

take a thing or situation that everyone knows (a human face is the most popular), render it super realistically and then change a feature unexpectedly.

>>1742327

You're talented and focused (autistically tenacious?) just broaden your view a little. I mean it's cool to have a fondness for a single character but dude, come on.

FWIW the background is very nice

>>1742327
you have no idea how either anatomy or perspective work

>>1742335
yooooooooooooo.

So maybe change it to this pose. She would be holding a mouse. watcha thinkan buddy ? Shame you dont like my outfits.

>>1742362
imo that pose would work a lot better.
I just noticed that the cat ears are not aligned to the rest of the features.
Looking forward to your next updates, anon

Hello /ic/, I don't come here often, but could I ask for tips/redline about this drawing?

>>1742471
idk I feel like it would be better that way. idk,idk.

>>1742471
Have you tried flipping it laterally, left and right?

>>1742478
oh damn you rotated the canvas

>>1742489
it often helps with balancing pose :')

>>1741967
bump
i don't know what Im doing

>>1742362
outfit 1 and 3

2 looks plain and boring

>>1741907
wow you have been working on this for ages now.
not that i care, just saying. i love your work. especially this pic.(pic related).

>>1742327
the left shoulder(from her point of view) is too high.
also both shoulders connect weirdly to the neck

>>1740857
Just want to say you seem the most active user on this board, maybe because your style (of the drawings and the posts) is so recognizable, and you seem cool, always sharing inspirational quotes and giving the good impression you just do it for the fun, do you own a blog or something?

>>1742691
Thx

someone rip me a new asshole so I can push myself out of my comfort zone

>>1742780
Looks flat
Check that anatomy again
Clothes arent bending as theyre supposed to
How the fuck is that hair over the hoodie

>>1742345
>>1742346
i'll probably draw something else next time, but i draw so many rins because she gives me comfort and respite from the harsh reality of work.

>>1742356
please elaborate?

>>1742528
thanks

>>1742504
dp immortal is shit

>>1741168
>>1741538
that didnt stop Nobutoshi with Visions of Escaflowne
however, it was a big part that made me just not take certain parts seriously

>>1741294
yeah looks like a super loli-face on a more mature body
just change the face/head and it could look awesome imo

>>1742244
I've drawing a porn manga in the past, you need to focus your drawing in the erotism, feel free to create the porn you like, but not forget the viewer

>>1742312
now make it hang off of a mangled robotic back-figure
bam
broken, realistic looking face as a focal point on a robot is kinda UV

Im a pleb

This took me about an hour and a half.
I'm still far from where I want to be with my fundamentals.
Can I have some opinions?
Any critique would be more then welcome.

>>1742871

I like how that eye floats in blank space.

Also is she actually ten heads tall? What have you been smoking?

>>1742878
Woah, you're right.
Shes like an amazon! AHHHHHH
Thank you for pointing out my stupidity.

I'm having problems /ic/. After pussying out for months I decide to do a full picture with backgrounds and shit. Except the moment I start drawing a tree I feel like I''m jamming a screwdriver up my nostril.

How do you do trees, or even backgrounds in general? What is your process? I don't know anything so I'm just stumbling about like a blind idiot. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

>>1741766
sup mikufag

the nose is flat
the pose too stiff
needs more moe

ps. gosh i hadn't drawn since forever, im totally rusty

>>1741766

Why the fuck does she have petrol in her eyes, that must hurt like a motherfucker

>>1742959
Trees. Sorry the pictures suck balls.
Do try doing this though, it should help.

>>1742963

dude you done fucked up the eyes. That isn't much better from miku fag.

>>1742971
i said im rusty didnt i : <

>>1742826
Nice opinion :^)

Don't you have any critic for me? Please?

>>1742854
Wow, this is bad

>I've drawing manga
Unles you're living in Japan, no you don't

>>1742963
Mup sikufag.

>>1742994
link more of your porn drawings, based anon.

>>1742312
make it look dead, remove the light from her eyes, desaturate it, and give her an expression that doesnt seem to be possible to be expressed irl.

>>1742994
did you start what I think you just started ?

>>1742988
Hey anon, I think you should look into foreshortening and how it works. Right now that's your main problem. Try and find some references if you can.

You guys, has Teal posted anything recently?
I haven't been here for a couple of months and I have this thing where I sort of hoard his posts.
Pin unrelated. Vilppu.
(hoping for no shitstorm)

>>1743085
he's gone m8, teal's gone

>>1743085

He posted some weird introspective thing about his dead parents and lamenting never having a camcorder on his tumblr, that's the last anyone's heard from him.

>>1743123
Let's not bring that here please. I know what you're talking about but take it somewhere else.

>>1743123
What? No he didn't. You can at least not make things up.

How I get into capcom fantastic stylization?

>>1743126

Guy asked a question and I answered it

>>1743135
I know but like right now he is asking more questions and quite frankly its none of his fucking business. Just leave him the fuck alone.

>>1743135
except you didn't answer truthfully

>>1743126
>Let's not bring that here please. I know what you're talking about but take it somewhere else

Why do people speak of him moving on like it was a great tragedy? Dude draws good, dude doesn't feel like posting on /ic/, dude moved on to other stuff. Not a big deal.

>>1743134
study the fuck out of it, it's what I did while learning some style.

>>1743138

>people can't delete tumblr posts, nope

Also it was posted in one of these threads too when it happened, get your head out of your ass.

I'm going to leave it at that, I really don't want to trigger a shitstorm either

>>1743138

also it's right fucking here you idiot

http://simontblr.tumblr.com/post/72634018899

How do I make chubby shortstack bodies distinct from each other even though they're all chubby and shortstacks?

>>1743143
>people can't delete tumblr posts, nope
>people can't make up stories as well

>Also it was posted in one of these threads too when it happened
shit stuff like that always merits some screencap, better show us proof or you're lying out of your ass.

> I really don't want to trigger a shitstorm either
you just did you faggot. ,,l,,

How do I make chubby shortstack bodies be distinct from each other even though they are all chubby shortstacks?

>>1743144
ok you can disregard my post here now >>1743146

you're still a faggot.

>>1743146

read the link and shut the fuck up

>>1743149
fuck you too

>>1743053
I'll do.
Regarding the drawing, can it be saved, doctor? Or I should scrap it and begin again?

>>1743141
Thanks will do. Hopefully, in few months, I'll post here drawing just like the pic I posted.

/ic/'s comment on this? Backgrounds for the first time so I might be doing something horribly wrong.

Something from imagination, makes me wish those threads with whatever number you roll will give you a random drawing where still here.

>>1743069

yeah it's klye

All babies are different. You do it in the same way you seperate all babies. Play with proportions, and muscle mass, fat deposits, facial features. Even the body has special features. The neck area and the shape of the head is the most apparent. The ways muscles connect can vary. Some are think, some are thin. Babies differ most in height and chubbiness.

>>1740977

Looking for crits, I'm a scrub at painting

>>1741640
it looks like an Animal Crossing character

Anyone have any tips for drawing faces from a far away standpoint and having them not look like QUALITY ANIME?

>>1743467
Maybe zoom in?

>>1743486
It's on paper

I'm one of those people that needs to sketch on paper first

>>1743069
them back problems

>>1743085
Someone here said that was tired of drawing fetish shit and wanted to develop a new style to completely bury his previous identity.
I don't know for sure if it was him, but it sure sounds like him, specially if you were familiar with his stream, dude appeared to be somewhat tired of drawing cute girls and the audience he gethered doing so.

>>1743516

then why does he still suck conoughy's dick

How to make lineart look like the original sketch? I can never make it look as good as the sketch and it really discourages me from continuing to work on the piece.

>>1743526
sketch your stuff at low opacity, then ink

>>1743526
Personally, I make the lines messy, with the sketch. Free flowing, etc. Not smooth as fuck. Then I clean them up with the eraser.

Takes longer but usually manages to capture the life the sketch had

>>1743528
>>1743534
Thanks, I think I'll try that out right now!

>>1743525
Are you retarded?, I said it looked like it was him, not that IN FACT it was him.

>>1743489
just draw the nose, stylized as a line.

Still working on adjusting the spot blacks, but how am I doing so far?

I'm sick of too much white in my work because I haven't gotten into value in my studies yet. I'll start soon though.

>>1743618
i can't really give critique but it looks awesome m8

First sketch with a tablet, hope I get the hang of it soon. Any good?

>>1743639
8/10 would print it out and take it on a date

Have a couple pages of inks.

>>1741974
are you not seeing the difference in line weights, there is little to no pressure in any or the lines used, but as for weight, i see a 3 different weights throughout the entire piece and its fair to say that the lines on the figures is purely for style sakes....thus the thread.

>>1743760
When almost everything is drawn with the same thickness, you get an incredibly dull, sterile looking style. Add the clutter, and it's actually uncomfortable to look at, and it's difficult to make out what the details are supposed to be.

That being said, he originally posted a picture without the grey coloring, which made it far more obvious.

Trying to find a good, hopefully free drawing/painting software for OS X.
FireAlpaca seems good, but seems to lack in some places (at least the last time that I used it) in comparison to SAI (when I used to use Windows all the time.)

>>1743757
nice. how do you get your lines so clean?

Kill it with crit-fire.

>>1743069
go die i want to render like that.

>>1743801
>Learn about edges
>about light

>about the water tool on sai
You're done

>>1743801
legs look disjointed from hips


plus many other things wrong with the anatomy but that's the most distracting

>>1743801
Reminded me of this.

>>1743811
I fucking love Amatarou.

>>1743757
Nice nice, but crescent is spelled with two "c"s

>>1743757
>>1743759
not bad. i just dont like your style at all but from a technical standpoint it's good

>>1743801
How the hell can she keep her balance?

>>1743757
I like your style, it's really interesting, it kind of reminds me of 80's anime, but still feels cartoonish.

>>1743838
Really? There's plenty to criticize in that picture, but you choose that?
The pose implies she's moving. Her leg is at an angle to dampen the impact and keep her balanced.

>>1742700
#rekt

What /ic/ thinks of my face cnstruction?

>>1743945
Shit man.

>>1743946
there isn't any construction...

>>1743946
Not sure if it's intentional, but it looks like you're drawing the head up to the hair line only. Consider forming the whole skull shape, then add hair on top of it.

>>1743777
I ink at least 2x the size of the final product. You can work messier and faster but have it tighten up when shrunk down.

>>1743818
Whoops! I'll fix that. One of the pros for Digital Inking. Thanks for catching it.

>>1743834
No problem, not your cup of tea, but TY.

>>1743848
The mix of cartoon/older style is kinda intentional since the property has a following of several decades and the client doesn't want to have it so disjointed from previous iterations. That being said, I did redesign the female lead to suit my tastes.

>>1743123
>>1743516
Thanks for your calm-ish replies.
I'll go back to my cave now.

dont skip leg day

>>1744046

I'll never make sense of your workflow dude, so much going on out of sequence

>>1744046
these are some THUNDER THIGHS.
Anyway... that workflow as the other anon said.... damn.

i cant post my fokin image cause it contains an "embeded" file or something.

>>1744046
>legpress

Do you even Starting Strength, bro?

>>1744046
pressing that much and no muscle contracting
>wat

you're blending too much. try to define some forms a bit more.

>>1744105
actualy shes pressing only slightly with half of her foot.

>>1744108
and that should make even more muscles contract. physics.

>>1743384
ever heard of bob ross?
wheres your light source?
be bold, be playful, that is your world.

Help. What am I doing wrong?

>>1744105
Only her calf should be flexing with the legs bent like that.

>>1744132
nose position on reimu
chin to lip distance on the right one
left hand size on reimu
shoulder dislocated on right one

>>1744046
Delicious.

>>1743764
I agree, generally figures up close are to be drawn with thicker lines. If he wants to keep the figures with thin lines, the background lines must be even thinner.

>>1744046
you better fix the perspective doe. Her shoulder width is the width of one leg. Those legs and hips are huge and wide as fuck. The arm has to get perspective'd and the chest has to follow.

>>1744143
Hope you realize that line thickness is only a tool to create depth that doesn't have to be present.

Kyle where do you post your stuff you Hentai Foundry or something?

The legs looks damn good especially the ass and hips but the arm seems like it's not completely anatomical

I want to believe I can git gud some day.

>>1744315

Sono chi no sadame MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKU!

>>1744407
are you redjuice guy?

>>1744407

Seriously just loomis you're already good at shading and painting but your anatomy always sucks ass it's your only weakness

I swear once you learn to see how the body works properly and THEN decide how to stylize from there (after properly learning loomis ) you will be godlike

LEARN YOUR FUCKING ANATOMY!

you have to learn the rules before you can find loopholes or break the rules

what you're doing is playing the game of art and making up the rules as you go along and it's ending up a convoluted mess

how's my non objective?

>>1744425
This looks like a comforter I just saw at Walmart
It was for preteen girls

>>1744098
muh nigga

I hate it when leg press monkeys steal all the 20kg's around the gym when they could've been doing squats using half the 20kgs and getting a better workout

>>1744438
>Leg Press OR Squat
>Why not do both?

>>1744410
hi
>>1744412
I really appreciate your help guys for all the time I've been here so far.

I've read and I'm familiar with both Loomis and Hampton books. I will admit my process involves a lot of trial and error but that's how I learn.

I don't have a systematic routine of learning anatomy because I prefer to learn as I go. Maybe recommend some exercises for me to do that will help me recognise my common mistakes? I'm willing to work hard and learn, I just haven't figured out the right direction yet.

Please help me, I want to git gud!

>>1744456
Your faces looks super uncanny valley because you don't know exactly what a face looks like.

Go study faces

stiff and unsettling

>>1741907
>>1741907
The cover just says "Attention", at least the russian bit does.
It bugs me.
Maybe you could change it to an actual warning or maybe "Airlock"?

also thats a damn cool picture sick narrative

>>1744046
if you do at least this much it starts to look human

>>1744508
Her right forearm is too long and something about the position of her head doesn't seem right

>>1743173
aya and reimu?

>>1744425
looks messy and rushed. also, like you didn't have any conception of what you were planning on doing when you started...

don't skip basics because you can't do them right now/are scared to try them. also stop using paint straight from the tube.

black is not a highlight for the shadows. It's when you get no light. Use it carefully. Highlights are not on every surface. Only those that catch light can reflect light. Use them carefully.

>>1744046
>dont skip leg day

>>1744046
>Using only the tip of your soles
>Not the whole sole

scrub, zyzz would be disappointed

>>1744653
Why? Doesn't it add another muscle into play? Cyclist here, don't know shit about leg anatomy but pedaling with the tip of your sole gives a bit of additional strength, so I assume it's a good thing.

>>1744655
different from cycling, squat is lifting large mass rather than converting force to forward momentum so it strains the feet more. that's why you plant the feet to spread the pressure and stabilize your form or else your joins as well as your foot will get damaged in the long run. also your feet may break.

>>1744662
Oh, I see, thanks.

>>1744495
leave it to Po-ju

>>1744456
hey work on gesture drawing a bit it'll help you develop a better sense of proper anatomy AND will allow you do set up poses and frames to slap whatever else you want on it ignore >>1744463 I can't redline your original post but her neck and clavicle are way off shoulder looks bad too basically that whole area is wrong

back of her head looks a bit too big unless she has really poofy hair in which place I guess you got right

if the light is coming from the left there shouldn't be as much shadow on her left cheek

keep it up post frequently

>>1744615

I hope this is better

I mixed for the background- It looks much nicer irl. I wanted the colors to be bright and chaotic and I wanted the prismatic background to turn people on.
I actually did planning before this ;3 I have several thumbnails on Bristol.
People have asked to buy it fro me- What's a non objective like this worth?

i love traps

>>1745022
You mean reverse traps.

>>1745044
you're right it does look more like a reverse trap...
i wonder how i can fix that

>>1745054
No, don't fix something that's not broke keep it she looks great.

>>1744782
the quality of /ic/ has fallen pretty drastically since the late 2000s, with more and more cancer and less people who know what they're talking about every year.

>>1745064
Do something about it, post your work instead of being an insufferable faggot.

Interesting character design.

>Where amateurs actively remain amateurs
So, /ic/.

>>1741958
Yeah I agree, I've been messing around with the composition since posting this, hopefully the end product comes out looking good. (Glad you enjoy the lines!)
>>1742522
Yeah I kind of gave up on the image a while ago but recently picked it back up to finish and be done with it. Hah and yeah I still like that drawing too.
>>1741974
You make a good point, and it's something I need to work on. I've been messing with the line thickness for both BG and FG since posting this though, and when I get to coloring the image & lines, I'll make sure the background lines are downplayed so the foreground stands out as it should. Thanks for the critique.
>>1744573
The Japanese says the same thing, more or less. I just kind of went for a generic "Caution!" sort of warning, but I see why it could be kind of weird. I'll see about adding that or just changing it all together. (Thanks!)

How is it so far? Wut change?

Second drawing with mah tablet, hows it looking so far?

>>1745525

cross-eyed

>mah

punch yourself in the face.

ignore the grey lips

>>1745525
Pretty good but cross eyed. Don't punch yourself in the face tho.

>>1740857
Oh hey it's me

I was looking at her crotch and wondering what the hell you were talking about. -_-

Couple more inked pages incoming.

to this day i still get fooled to think that the curtain is a panel border

That pointer finger is enormous!

just a quick character design

he spins causing the cloth and stuff to fly around hiding himself in the flowing fabric and stabs with his spear in the confusion

>>1745622
what this guy said>>1745669

Google 'the schweizer guide to spotting tangents',
under "fake panels."

ive scribbled in these legs at least 5 times and im about to give up

>>1745734
I tried anon, I tried ._.

Back to grinding for me.

How's it lookin' so far?

>>1745669
>>1745731

I don't have that problem since it's irregular, varying in width with some tapers thrown in to give it texture. But I could throw in Chumley's hand in the bottom holding the curtain to break it up and alleviate Anons' concerns.

Fixed!

>>1745758
A little fuzzy atm, but I like the expression and body language on Pika.

When tightening up the linework, make sure the arm looks sufficiently in the foreground or it will look a tad long. Embiggened hand would help.

...and now some balance. :D

>>1745812
kek practice your anatomie

>>1745789
Thanks for that, I will work on it.

>>1745782
there we go

>>1745734
legs/feet are my favorite

>>1745939
>>1745746
thank you friends

>>1743759
any technique about the crosshatching, i love it

how you do it

>>1745939
The legs on the right one are terrifying.

>>1746027
What the fuck? Aside from the background, there is zero crosshatching in his pictures.

>>1746037
And that's not even cross hatching. That's a canvas texture erased from the background.

>>1746027
It's an old school comic background technique that's simulating a coquille-type texture. It's just varying and breaking up your brush strokes from thick to thin and thinning it out at the end. then repeating at a 90 degree angle.

>>1746065
Interesting, show me how and maybe it'll save me some time. Large swaths of texture can be very time consuming.

>>1746197
Wow, I didn't realize you put in that much effort into it.

I would have just painted the whole thing black and erased using a brush texture option in SAI. I don't know how it works in the program you're using though.

>>1746197
if you use ms5, there should be some tone brushed that can do this

>>1746248
As I've said, it's an Old School technique I would do traditionally with brush and paper. I like the bit you've done there in the lower left, I'd just have to figure out how to do it and knock it down to pure B&W.

>>1746257
Yup, using MS 5EX. If it's a few things that can be broken down into an Action set, that'd be great. However, I wouldn't want to put it everywhere. Still best used sparingly.

>>1745022
Looks like Farnese from Berserk. Cool. Site?

>>1745758
Is this version any better?

I better not hate this in the morning.

>>1746644
those arms look too long

i'm sorry

>>1746644
The back of the head is gigantic and the proportions are off. The figure lacks gesture as well

>>1746644
you did a really good job on making the face look pretty, but i think you should focus on drawing naked people before drawing dressed figures. just my two cents

>>1746753
I hate any art system that recommends drawing a bit of something..

how many heads high? oh you know, 5 and a bit.. a bit? how much is a bit?

if its not a uniform system how am I meant to remember it?

>>1746758
Learn the fundamentals of gesture and figure drawing (in that order) and leave the animu general for the time being if you actually want to get better at this. The fact that you get caught up in a minor detail of measuring figure in heads just proves you lack the understanding of basic figure drawing. Do some vilppu and proko, study landmarks and biggest muscle masses, some facial construction and after that try the animu again and see how it goes. Once you have enough mileage in gesture & figure drawing you will notice that you will never even think about measuring the figure in heads because the number is irrelevant, it will come naturally to you. The way you are doing now is the way you end up in the 'he never progressed' thread and you will forever rely on crutches like the amount of heads

Sure you can use it if you want a specific body:head proportion for your drawing but that kinda precision is hardly relevant at this point

>>1746761
im not whoever you were talking, just a random anon that hates odd measurements.

>>1746758
Autism detected.

>>1746758
sorry, i was just trying to prove a point about proportions but i guess i missed the mark. i dont usually use a head measurement with my own drawings, but i thought miku fag might be able to connect some concepts with it somehow.

I 'm going to study for seven solid hours today. What should I work on based on this thing.

>>1746644
Will redline

>>1746579
Head position and face work much better in the first one. Why turn his head away from Pika in the first place? It throws off the rest of the body and any narrative one could make of the connection of the characters.

critiques?
general feedback?

>>1746765
It applies to anyone who is browsing animu thread and gets caught in measuring figures by amount of heads

>>1746910
the guy is not standing on the same level as her.

>>1746910
Cute. Some weirdness with her right breast though. The hands (guy's hand drawn well) don't look like they're really gripping anything with any strength. Kitty's hair is not a piece of stone, I would expect it to move under the pressure of the man's hand.

Overall, she looks like she's tilting a bit to the right, as if she's kneeling not in front of the man, but off to the side. You'd probably have to adjust the position of the legs to make it look more correct.

Overall, it's got an erotic effect to it. Nice.

>>1746910
Her head looks kinda too wide and weird, I think.

>>1746657
>>1746666
Yes, thank you.
>>1746753
Alright here we go time to look for nudes and figure draw.
>>1746761
Solid advice, and I have been noticing that lately when I use landmarks like how the belly button is slightly above the corners of the pelvis I only use head measurements to double check proportions but sometimes I have trouble translating head measurements from life onto stylized figures.

>>1746910
totally creepy catgirl

try some clothed catgirls first? More moe, less porn?

sketching this. Need some help.

>>1746910

Definitely something creepy with the head. Her eyes make her look like her head is tilted, but the outline of the face says otherwise. Her hair doesn't fit the skull right; considering the hand should be pushing the hair down, that means her skull is really really stretched out back.

Her body may be erotic, but i doesn't mean jack if her head looks creepy as fug.

>>1747007

Her feet are at different angles with the male.

Anything, /ic/?

>>1747022
you mean they dont interact with his body properly ? tried to fix that.

>>1747031

Yeah, that works better now, though I'm not sure how she's supposed to go up and down like that.

>>1747034
yeah..me neither. will think about that next time.

>>1746969
>>1746932
>>1746923
>>1746917
Thanks for crits and stuff. Changed up the head mostly. Made the cranium smaller and moved the facial features. I also changed the breasts and the positioning of the feet as well as the grip on the hands. Fuck it, I'm keeping it a floating disembodied penis. Gonna move onto the coloring next.

>>1747103
it looks much better.

>>1747030
You may want to find some other way of rendering the foliage of the trees and bushes. They look like there's no effort put into them and rushed, bushes look like some kind of green slime or ooze.

Maybe look into some sort of stippling pattern, blocking out darker areas first then going back in with lighter accents and highlights.

Overall colors are kinda muddy.

>>1746923
hey i know you draw a comic so can you tell me how to apprach creating a story. I mean i have something in mind, cuple of scenes and would like to save it somehow and then polish it and create inbetweens.

>>1747103
I think it looks like she's still falling over. Here I moved her body and legs around to make it look more natural.

Good job on fixing the head. Probably don't need to show part of the thumb on her hand though.

>>1747179
Well, I don't have that much experience writing. For my doujinshi I'm writing out the story first, plotting it out Page/Panels with some included dialogue. From there I'll do some layouts and then go in with pencils and inks.

Best suggestion is to write down the scenes you have in mind, maybe even draw a pic of the scene in the sketchbook to toss around until you're ready to flesh it out. It's kind of what I'm doing with my Dirty Pair/Kei pics. Pesky real work getting in the way of progressing on it atm though.

Oh Noes! Are we Autosaging?
