>>1934340

You fucked up a lot son

Current doodle. I don't really draw like this often (with linework) and it doesn't look so hot but whatevs. Kind of unsure about how I'm going to tackle the hair so I'm taking a break to check out how other people draw it.

problems? advice?

>>1934565
The one on the bottom right is without a doubt your greatest work.

Anyways, it seems nice so far but the back of the face seems a bit big and the 'back' of the head is way too small.

>>1934571
It should read "but the face seems a bit big"

>>1934367
Fuck it, gave the hair a go. I hate drawing hair.

>>1934571
Didn't notice the back of head issue. Thanks anon.

>>1934565

bottom right is clearly copied from a much better artist than you. it's just levels above.

how off are the proportions?
(i know the pose is weird)

>>1934360
Yeah I know. Anatomy isn't my strong point. I have WIPs that are a bit better though considering how old these are. Sadly I'm on mobile and don't have them on my phone.

>>1934585
Head and neck are too small compared to the body

>>1934034
too busy, eye doesn't get drawn to any specific part of the image

>>1934629
That's what I like about it.

>>1934629
>>1934630

yeah i like busy drawings, plus i think the window is just enough white space

>>1934496

cleaned up version tmrw

>>1933915
where do you recommend me to leave the light source?

Ah cool, thanks for using my image for the OP.
Going to try to finish that soon, doing some doodling and sketching in the meantime.

>>1934640
From the bottom would be good for badassery.

>>1934574
I'd say look at more real life hair. Pay more attention to things like how it's affected by gravity.

>>1934565

>Peter Grey in the bottom right

You just made my day anon

More from PSG art book. How do you render frilly materials? I couldn't figure it out
>5, 6 - color practice
>7, 8 - can't figure out frills, ruined hair on 8. Testing different color sets
>10, 11 - can't budget page space always lose the feet. Messed up some parts, blacked out the back. Also no hands, will practice those later

>>1934707
Here is the line work
>1, 2 the heads are always too small
>3, 4 did some dudes today need to revisit later
>9 portrait >>> portrait from July

Did a little of everything today

>>1934058
h-how did you know

4 Canvasses done over 4 days (usually 2-3 hrs, last one is only an 1hr quick doodle)

Any pointers/tricks/tipps etc? Really struggling with mouths and nose shapes

I'll probably do studies of hair, noses and mouths/lips next.

Maybe I should post more frequently?

>>1934718
I can recognize your style from miles away. The most recognizable thing is the way you draw girls.

>>1934548
this guy always replies to posts about picture being sexy with the same comment and image of sad blue ball. git gut already

>>1934565
>bottom right
But seriously stop using soft brushes. Shit's blurry as fuck. Looking good though.

where did dan go? all his accounts have been taken down/removed

>>1934844
who?

Yesterday I did a lot of studies from Bridgman. Today I'm trying to figure out which muscles to show by inking and shading.

>>1934872

the guy who wanted to sell h-doujins on pixiv

>>1934781
mugi a qt

>>1934756
For mouth shapes doujin faces can be useful, but it gives you a very cartooned look.

I usually try to do the whole head with all the features so I can scale them properly. Otherwise you can get disproportionate features

>>1934874
Vary your line thickness a little more (fatter lines in the shade). I try to make a little bridge where 2 lines intersect so it doesn't end abruptly. Where a line bends or curves, I go back over the curve and take a shorter path to thicken it a little bit

>>1934756
Stop focusing on facial features and think more about the orientation of the head. Perspective applies to everything.

>>1935082
This is neat, I like your style.

>>1934469
I am usually not fond of extremely skinny body tipes but something about how those puffy nipples on a dfc contrast on this bony rib cage.
I have to study something like this now.

Cut me down /ic/
Tore open a micron ink cartridge for the black blocks, couldn't help but be emo with teh redz <//3
Started out as a gesture drawing, decided to flesh it out.

>>1935082
Dude, this looks cool

Trying to draw a girl. What do you think /ic?

>>1935288
i think you should post that on /i/
i think you should open a thread specific for it

ok, just joking.
biggest fuck up seems to be proportions, draw a line from her left elbow to her right neck/shoulder, everything devided by the line seems to be part of different base proportions. above line is way smaller than everything below, even with forshortening the elbow of the left arm, should be at least on the level were her boobs end. the elbow on the other side is basically right, but since both differ it looks odd. overall i seems you tend to draw bigger the father you move down.
Like the face tho, even when its probaly drawn in your comfort zone. ear should be a bit higher.

Asuka WIP

>>1935298
What's all the blue lines and red lines for? Will this be used in animation?

>>1935301
No. I'm using them to plan out where the shadows and highlights will go. I got the idea from looking at animators drawings.

>>1935293
I screw up proportions as always, gotta to make corrections as you said. Thanks for help!

>>1934496
>>1934636

thoughts?

>>1935298
dooooooone

>>1935335
looks pretty cool.
I actually liked it better in blue.

>>1935355

thank u. yeah i was thinking of doing an alt version in blue, people dont do enough monochromes

>>1935354
Everything is ok, but you need to work on your line smoothness. Do quick, long strokes, and don't be afraid to draw the same line several times until you get it right. If you're already doing that, you might just have to zoom in so it's smoother when you zoom back out.

>>1935288
Did you draw her body under the clothes?
It would be a lot easier to figure out why the proportions are fucked up if you properly draw her form and then clothes.

>>1935354
>>1935360

what that guy said, get more confidence in your lines and youll have a great style going

>>1935360
you're wrong.what you suggest will lead to sketchy results, because lines will intersect. what you get with smoothness you lose out on control, by increasing speed.

>>1935377
Actually a good way to do it is to draw the new line on a layer up, erase any extra bits, then merge it into the main layer. You don't gotta worry as much that way.

>>1935362
Yeah, I have kind of. I was trying to draw anew body. Even now I can see how bad I'm in proportions

>>1935360
>>1935364
Thanks for the feedback. I tried to clean the lines up a bit, I really need to improve on my clean up skills.
It's not perfect but it's the best I can do for now.

>>1935405
It looks like sailor moon era anime.

>>1935405

better. only other thing is i dont really care for the way the hair is highlighted, id try matching it with the suit highlights, also top of the bangs are a bit jagged imo.

looks good tho in general, just nit-picking

How do I make a bird like this so fuckable? What did the artists do to make it look so attractive. Can't find any concept art, but what caused this inspiration?

So I'm pretty bad myself but I feel like I can help a little with the proportions.

I did this a little bit ago but couldn't upload, but here it is now.

I would recommend looking at the general proportion stuff, 8 head lengths for the body with certain head lengths having certain landmarks.

You can kind of see where I tried to draw the body under the clothes. Forgive my lines, I'm more of a traditional guy, not used to the tablet.

Also, my bad for not doing a more proper redline.

>>1935467
you're sick in the head, that doesn't look attractive at all.

>>1935382
>>1935469
My bad I messed up, forgot to reply to the post

>>1935467
Its the Jessica Rabbit conundrum.
Artists put together what they like in a woman and anthromorphed it. Traits of the J Rabbit include
>Hair on one side
>high breasts
>thin waist
>larger than usual hands
>wide hips
>moderate thighs
>skinny legs and moderate feet

Did that answer your question, or are you looking deeper than that?

>>1935467

they give her human features, big eyes, rosy cheeks, hourglass shape, "hair" in a "ponytail"

Chicken fucker here, thanks for the quick responses.

Dumbly posted this in the last thread even though it's pretty much dead. Anyway, I can't figure out where to go from here, mostly in terms of lighting.

>>1935485
Ay no problem

>>1934469
p-penis..what are you d-doing..

part of my biggest issue is that i can't not draw unless i'm looking at a reference. even then there's something still really unsatisfying about what comes of it, halp /ic

>>1935082

Is that yung venuz I see, the dog with the gold chain around his neck?

>>1935304
Nice idea. I think once I get competent I'll try and do that with my images

>>1935580
> i can't not draw unless
Say what?

>>1935580
Keep in mind that many artists use reference forever and drawing from imagination is a whole other skill, but this is what i do.
I take a photograph and copy it while looking, then i try to recreate from imagination, compare them and see what i forgot, do it again, compare
and see what i forgot, do it again, etc don't forget in that process that you are not trying to learn that only pose, you are trying to learn the body
so that you can create it from imagination.

Beginner here,
Just wanted to know how my proportions were and what I should study for a more "western" anime-esk feel
And when doing stuff like this should I do it as a quick sketch then redo it?
Quite fond of doing eyes like this

Not really in the mood today. Wanted to draw from imagination, but I just stared at the blank paper and watched a movie... Then I scribbled some bad poses, fucked up, and turned it into a smashed tomato.

See you tomorrow

I remember doing this pose before, but now I found it more difficult.

>>1935716
>read da sticky

do these step by step
it's going to take a while, but keep trucking and draw what you see

>>1935469
It's looks like I must learn about proportions and that kind of stuff much better. Long way before me until I will get better at this.

Once again, thanks for your help and your time!

>>1935796
What exactly is Symbol drawing?
If its drawing things like shapes, my drawing was Annie and she has these puffy selves
Im going through the Sticky, just kinda slowly

>>1935776
which one is better?

>>1935811
I like saggy breasts better, those are standing up way too much, maybe it's just my preference though.

>>1935813
she could hold her left breast with her left hand, squeezing the dildo

>>1935808
>What exactly is Symbol drawing?

Good question. I hear that a lot around here, but I'm not sure what it is myself.

>>1935877
Pretty self explanatory.

>>1935877
it means your drawing is flat. symbols are flat, while a drawing of something not symbolic changes shape in relation to perspective.

>>1935885
>flat

>>1935877
A symbol is a symbol. The figures in which you put on canvas are nothing but symbols - however if you posses the ability to describe these symbols in space you begin to fool the eye into an illusion that the symbol may exist in space. If you further describe the symbol by providing a pattern we see from life you begin to fool the mind into recognizing something in nature as nature plays a pattern game found in the proportion of plants and animals and people.

If you add even more information onto your symbol by providing it form and shape you begin to further fool your audience into believing this is real and you may keep providing this information depending on how much anatomy you know but that's not the most important part the one and single most important thing that will provide life to your symbol is a gesture, an attitude, a sense of movement and rhythm that will finally persuade the eye into actually believing this exists and is communicating with the world.

>>1935877
It means drawing what you think things look like, rather than what they actually look like. Lips don't actually look like this in real life, but it's such a common shorthand used in Valentine's Day cards and what-have-you that newer artists immediately go to it, not paying attention what they're actually seeing in the reference. Facial features have it especially bad when it comes to this kind of thing due to how often they're simplified.

>>1935877
Our brain naturally creates symbols of everything we encounter. When you think of a stop sign for example, you can imagine a red octagon with white lettering. We retain visual information like this in a bank, the purpose of which is to be able to adapt and survive. If you went to a stranger who was unlearned in art and tasked them with drawing a hand, they'd be able to give you the symbol right off the bat—that is, a mass with 5 digits attached to it. Retaining symbols is a good instinctive trait of our species.

How this relates to art however, is generally detrimental. As others have already noted, when someone is drawing symbols, they are taking their perception of an object without context or spacial relevance and inserting it. Our mind loves to insert symbolic imagery into our work, which subsequently impedes on our ability to see objectively without perceptual bias. Training yourself not to see symbols in your studies and to draw the actual subject is a practical skill which can benefit you in the long run. It builds your comprehension of imagery and allows you to utilize your knowledge gained from studying to the maximum potential.

This is not to say that symbol drawing is inherently bad however, as it has its own place in art. Stylization relies to an extent on symbol drawing, and retaining simplistic imagery of various objects can aid in developing it.

I figured itd be a nice inside joke because y'know we've all read the sticky(step one covers symbol drawing, to jog your memory;^)
Not reading the sticky is the cancer killing /ic/

I feel as though I'm getting more boring
I haven't drawn in a few days
this is the most interesting thing I've drawn everything else is shit

>>1935958
it has potential, work on it more.

>>1935958
Try reading "creative illustration". Informal subdivision really helped me over that feeling, and whenever I start to feel that way I do a few sketches with that technique an I'm back to good. It's a bit hard to understand at first, but remember that informal subdivision is a completely creative thing, not cold and calculated. Every line is just a suggestion to help you get an interesting picture that will even surprise you.


"Drawn to life" is also a solid book to get over the creative block "I suck" mentality.

>>1935896
>>1935897
so to avoid symbol drawing when i draw from imagination i need to draw alot from references/life first and only then draw from imagination?

>>>1935181 >>1935271 >>1935585
Thanks guys, attached the sketchup file i made as a base inorder to get nice perspective/shadows.
yung venuz? i based the tattoos and jewelrry on egyptian culture since they have alot of cats in them:)

>>1935983
To aviod symbol drawing, you need to understand perspective in your forms. For example, if you draw eyes as just a black dot, and arms as noodles like 'Fin', then you wont actually understand how to draw eyeballs and arms work and resort to symbol comfort zone.

With inanimate objects like a coffee cup or a golf club, you can set up a still life with those items and practice drawing the whole composition. This will improve your observation and visual skill.
Are image references bad?
No.
But drawing from an image goes beyond drawing the image, you need to be able to see an object and manipulate it in your mind so it can be imagined at any angle. Approach it with basic things like a pencil or an eraser, or even your phone. Then work up to anatomy and so on.

I am disappointed.

Hi guys. Still experimenting.
Advice? Errors?

>>1936302
man those lips are real sexy.
cant wait to see this complete

ok I am fucking this up... just got photoshop...

I would appreciate any advice on rendering like anime and shit like that, thanks

>>1936377
chill out on that chin bro

>>1936381

Thanks I will...

btw do you kwon a good tutorial on blending on ps and stuff like that?

>>1936382
still trying to figure it out bro, sorry

>>1936247
what

>>1936388
Some people just like a good feminine cock in their art

>>1936382

ps isnt the best for blending, you may want to look at other programs.

if not, googles that shit, there's tens of thousands of decent tuts out there for ps

>>1936395

Thanks bro, just found the cntr paint videos and checking the layers video. Cool stuff, thanks for your help.

Any advice on the drawing?

thanks again :)

>a-a-anon-kun d-did i improve?

First one is from december 2013.

>>1936421
Manly chin, neck is pinched, hand is goo.

>>1936435

Hey, wait! It´s muh style.... ha ha ha ha just kidding...

Thanks for the critique, I am starting to like this place.

Criticism on anatomy, general impression, etc is required. Thanks

>>1936461
did you study any anatomy before you did this?

>>1936430
Definite improvement, but of course a lot to work on. Keep goin'

>>1936461
My general impression is that you're avoiding drawing the hands

Don't do that.

>>1936462
No, why?
>>1936472
I know. Thanks

>>1936430

great improvement. a few things:

keep working on your anatomy, the breasts are a little high, neck a little long and too angled forward, the part with the collar looks like its choking her out, the shoulders stoop a little too much, the placement of her right eye is a little high

the folds are a little wonky too, especially around the titties. unless its a boob cup, it shouldnt fold under like that

anyway, just some thoughts. you improved a great deal though, its pretty impressive

>>1936478

>No, why?

probably cuz its way off

>>1936480
ok, where exactly please? what is wrong with it?

>>1936483

almost all of it tbh. the first striking thing is that the waist is way too small, regardless of whether or not shes skinny enough to show ribs. butt isnt really a butt, just upper leg with no contour, neck is too conical, tits are circular whereas they hang on the body more like sandbags....

i could go on, but the best thing is for you to figure study, build people up using shapes, use a tutorial if you need to.

eh

>>1936483
honestly I think its probably something about me that people just can't stand but if I posted that picture about 20 people would be telling me how garbage I am and making fun of me. I am really surprised that I was the only one who said something

>>1936485
>>1936491
fuck, thanks. why is this so hard lol.

>>1936483
Just go get Michael Hamptons CA figure drawing. Dont get discouraged, you did somethings right, but there is too much wrong to even go into detail. Do some figure drawing afterwards. You're going to make it kiddo!

>>1936492
anything worth having doesnt come easy. when I used to post stuff like this all I would get in replies is "Ayyyy LMAO" because my eyes looked alien. So trust me, its nice when people will even take time to tell you whats wrong and not just make fun of you, even though looking back it was funny and I deserved it.

>>1936493
>Michael Hamptons CA figure drawing
Will check
>kiddo
I'm 26 years old. Been drawing since 3. The dream never ends.

>>1936496

sounds to me like youve been trying to draw without attempting any fundamentals. you cant build a house without establishing a foundation, you cant make pieces without studying the basics

>>1936483
Don't ask people to "critique" the anatomy if you haven't even studied it in the first place. Do as much as you can on your own. If you study anatomy, you'd be able to spot the mistakes yourself.

>>1936465
will do
>>1936479
Actually, i spent most of the time with construction. I guess i need to read up on anatomy again.
>>1936472
People actually do this with hands? Like it would bug the hell out of me, it just looks uncomfortable.

>>1936486

>>1936550

>People actually do this with hands?

dude absolutely, why do you think so many beginners draw people with their hands at their sides

>>1936555
Dang, i can't remember if i did it. I've always drawn people fighting, so maybe that's why it seems so weird to me.

I've been designing a nurse robot, here is what I've come up with as far.

>>1936584
Also doing some composition sketches.
Planning on working the bottom one into a finished picture, but I'm a bit uncertain of having a focal point so close to the frame.

>>1935335

me again, stepping out of my usual style, taking a lot of cues from nomura

>>1936584

make the eyes a little bigger, theyre small enough that they're boardering creepy in these, imo. also not entirely sure what's going on with the "pigtails"

I found some weird fairy things on Pinterest, used them to practice coloring.
>1-3 are incredibad
>3 was a guinea pig for coloring 4

1-3 put me in such a bad mood I didn't want to draw anything else so this is all I did today. I'm such a slacker

Wip

nose is a bit blurry

So more like this?

>>1936681
Something about the head shape gives me the creeps, Its cute everywhere else but the head

Mind lending me a redline, /ic/? The pose is from imagination.

The deltoid and bicep looks off. It's supposed to be a girl.

>>1936683
I guess that's okay, since all the situation I came up with and liked, turned out to be creepy.

>>1936554
yeee boiii

>>1936421
give us an example of the style you want man

>>1936639
omg ur not gud
ur just stealling artwork
thats copyrited, atleast cite the source omg

>>1936710
Thought it was a lobster at first. It's not reading clearly. You need to define your shapes more and work on perspective.

>>1936723
Omg!

>>1936240
I think it would help you if kept in mind where the center line of the figure is. I see places where one side is larger than the other and shouldn't be. The left girls left ass cheek being off is one example. Figures obey the laws of perspective, too, anon.

>>1936555
People even do this semi-professionally. Like Zun if you play Touhou. One hand is always hidden like some Illuminati riddle.

>>1936723
Omg guyz :^)

>>1934664
Cool, how long have you been drawing?

>>1935776
>>1935811
Both look disgusting imo

>>1936430
You improved but don't relax too soon. You still have a lot of stuff to learn. If you keep it up at the same pace, you'll really be places by the end of the year.

>>1936486
Appealing but it can still be improved in terms of atmosphere

>>1936681
Looks cute to me

Im wondering if there is stuff i could add/remove
or improve on in order to mkae this a good portfolio piece?

>>1936793
yeah, remove the characters and apply for a prop job.

That is the true true.

>>1936793
Is this what they teach at fzd?

>>1936844
Ur saying remove all characters, like 50% of the project :P
>>1936859
Not really, this is just a alternative class on the side. Since the line between concept art/game art is blurred in smaller companies.

>>1936744
Hmm, I suppose I've been drawing seriously since 2010? I've drawn for as long as I can remember before that though.

>>1934469
Do you browse /pc/? I thought I was the only one here.

>>1934034
Well, I think I can start the doujin thing now. If anyone wonders... I deleted my tumblr and stuff because I wanna start over with a different nickname... something nylon or stockings related. Also, any tuts or advice in regard to screen tones? Or should I simply draw grayscale, I want this to look as pro as possible.

>>1937054
>I don't think a single person cap fap to that anon.

There's probably thousands of people who could fap to that, just look at /d/ and even if that's not someone's cup of tea just showing they are willing to draw weird shit could help them get commissions.

Not him but i do agree that it's good to put just a bit of perspective in there to show where the focus of the action is, look at most eromanga almost nothing is dead center when its not
needed, it looks as if she mounted him and just sitting there, but saying that not a single person can fap to this is wrong, if people can fap to sea anemones then surely someone will fap to it.

>>1936952
Not bad overall, but the guy with the helmet is spot on. Can you share a bit of the process you went through to get to that concept? Refs/Inspiration etc
It reminds me of a few things but I can't tell, is that an original idea? Cause it really is a solid one.

>>1937090
not everything with tits is made for fapping, you know.

>>1936957
I edited your image a little bit. What do you think?

I'm currently planning on doing a comic very anime style.
I already have the basic story sorta planned out.

This 2 pages are for a random fighting sequence between two characters from that story.
The blue hair girl (yes its a girl) It's the main character.

And yes, I know that the character models are very inconsistent. There is a reason for that, that reason being that I still don't have a model sheet for either character.
What you see is pretty much the first time I'm drawing them hence why the inconsistency.

I'm still developing the characters.
Also, yes, my linework is messy. Need to work on that too.

you seem very frustrated

>>1937162
nah.
The pic >>1937034 just looks so wonky to me, that I couldnt find any means too justify fapping to it.
Its just weird.

>>1937135
is not me btw

What did you use for the screentone look?

>>1936957

New here thoughts?

>>1936957
Seriously, a heads up would've been nice.

>>1937221
What do you hope to accomplish with works like this one?
Memes?
Overhyped weed?

Is this what you want people to see in you every time they see you?

>>1936469
good stuff but you might want to bump up the values and avoid using a white background

>>1937250
>avoid using a white background
is this a meme now?

>>1937252

As with most /ic/ memes, it was a legit piece of advice taken to full retard levels by people who don't know why it's said in the first place and when it's not applicable.

>>1937250
But tha would ruin the aesthetics of it, she looks dazzling right now.

>>1936652

lines down yay

>>1937034
All of the individual elements are nice, your colouring is great, but the way you've put it together doesn't work. The problem is that she has the proportions of a midget. Give her nicer curves and she'll be attractive, i.e. taller, thinner waist, larger thighs/ass, etc.

>>1937258
thanks for the constructive feedback

>>1937034
Thank you!
>>1937099
Thanks, and yeah I drew that to try and see if I can do something similar to some artists I like. Specifically Katsuya Terada and Tatsuyuki Tanaka, and slew of other non-specific people and drawings. I would just every so often look at tabs of their and others work that were similar, to see how they went about it.

good job anon

>>1937288
Where do you post your stuff?

>>1935716
hahahahahahaha........start by doing studies on human anatomy and pay attention to how the eyes are positioned on the head, study how to draw noses/mouths. keep drawing everyday and you'll surely get better bud :)

>>1937125
I think it looks cuter with the original nose but I do get that other anons might not like my noses...
>>1937214
I made them through photoshop, you can fill a letter size page with gray and change it from grayscale to bitmap or use color halftone filter for it
>>1937217
closed it but I'll open a new one soon once I have a few colored drawings... maybe some yuri and traps
>>1937237
Yeah I kno' I should've

>>1937256

done, vidya time, feedback appreciated as always

>>1937423
looks like something done by anita sarkiseesan

>>1937426

eh i can accept that, i have plenty of other drawings with ass and titty

>>1937423
There's a LOT going on in this drawing, and I'm not sure they all go together very well. Drawing wise it isn't bad, it's just odd.

>>1937426
Go away /v/

>>1937431
What this guy said. There are a lot of things attached to her and it makes everything weird. Drawing-wise, it is okay for what it is.

>>1937431

yeah i tried to into nomura with crazy costume design and style but i am no master

>>1937435

Even his crazier BELTS N ZIPPERS shit has some basis in reality. Maybe you need to try building it up from references.

>>1937441

ill browse more refs/art then, thanks for the advice

still pretty new to coloring
c&c appreciated

>>1937423
re-work the colours. you are pick and choosing from ALL sides of the colour wheel.
dont do this on the same form.

>>1936844
the jelly is wobbely.

>>1936302
I ran into a couple of issues because my construction was a bit poor, so I decided to start over. I figure it'd be best to catch any big mistakes here. See anything off?

>>1937535
Yeah dude, the face looked kinda wonky, but i fixed it for you!

>>1937550
Epic!! I likey xD

This joke stopped being funny a while ago.

She looks very stiff

It also sort of looks like she's going to stab herself in the leg

You do know Duane's plumbing rotted out right? Genitals are the first thing to go. Also do you remember the chapter with the blonde whore in the Deadly Nevergreen? Hmmmm?

>>1934034
What, is the chance of someone, as long as they're dedicated to chaneg their artstyle? I understand, I'm not explaining it correctly so I'll give my circumstance. (It's probably very common). Basically, I'm a britbong weaboo who's been learning for a week and I want to adapt an anime artstyle that's not westernized despite being western myself. (Pretty retarded, I know) If I'm dedicated to art, would I be able to get past this regional wall?

>>1937827
>rotten dick fetish

good taste anon.

>>1937832
Unfortunately for you, that style of art is banned in bongland.

>>1937838
Eh? I'm not drawing Loli or anything. Yet. so It shouldn't be too bad. Unless I'm taking things too seriously

>>1937845
If you are calling yourself a weeb chances are you have already immersed yourself into that shit so the wall in which you described is nothing but an excuse you are giving yourself. The same goes when you are learning a different language it takes an immersion followed by continuous practice so that you may learn the language, it's the same principles.

The head is a bit big.
Also, she's leaning as in she's in a chair, dunno if that's the case.
I'd suggest you start with lineart first or at least a construction sketch underneath.

>>1937850
You tend to hear stories about people trying to draw anime and completely massacre'ing it. Not to mention all the "How to draw manga" books in my area are also the exact same. This made me starting to doubt myself on whether I can do it. I'll just go in with an iron resolve and won't stop aiming for getting that style and then mastering it.

>>1937891
People massacre it since the style in itself is deceptively simple and it really is however the deception comes from the notion that you do not require the knowledge of figure drawing or how to construct a face and blow off fundamentals with muh style.

As for the books they are nothing but a mere money grabbing scheme targeted at kids thinking they can master mango with one easy to follow book that implies it requires no effort or studying of fundamentals.

That is why people say to stop drawing Anime and work on fundamentals.

>>1937891
>>1937288
Well, that guy can do it.

>>1937903
Oh, so I'm at least going on the right road. From reading /ic/ I've understood that you can't focus on one thing exactly. You can have a goal but by leaving your comfort zone (normally your goal), you start to learn additional things which you can implement into your work and towards your goal. By doing these extra things, it feels like you're going further from your goal. Taking 3 steps back, but for all we know. We could be moonwalking towards it. So, I should continue reading Loomis, and Bert Dobson in order to improve. Thank you for the motivation.

>>1937288
neat.

>>1937653
haha, thanks terezi

Gonna start rendering soon I suppose.

At least it was good discipline forcing me to actually finish one small thing a day.

>>1938017
That's pretty cool. You gonna make a 1920x1080 version at some point? Would love to have that as a wallpaper

>>1938017
>Select your character!

Fapable?

how the FUCK do I get these legs to read as if they're crossed. I'm drawing a blank, been fucking around with them for ages now but they still look so incredibly off. I think it might also have to do with fucked up proportions? thankyouloveyou

>>1937252
You clearly have not read up on values and the concepts around them.

>>1938148
move the nose down a bit or something

>>1938017
I wouldn't even render that if I were you, maybe put flat color here and there. It looks pretty good as it is.

>>1937978
Butt, Kyle. Butt.

>>1938153
Thanks anon, didn't see it.

>>1938156
thats not kyle you dumb cunt.

>>1938165
I am.. pretty sure it's him.
But whoever it is, do you disagree with my critique or something?
I sure got a lot of insults today for redlining your shit.

>>1938150
You should look at references when faced with such a problem.
The leg on the bottom in most cases is a supporting one, so it should go towards the ground.
An easy way to cross the legs is imagining her sitting with her legs next to each other and then just moving one of the legs on the top of the other (in orange on picture).

Also, she looks a little tense, maybe you should make her lean backwards a bit. You can watch a bit on balance and weight distribution here, I think it will help. Good luck!

>>1938151
your example was created on a white background. was that supposed to discourage using white for background?

>>1938202
Not him but are you the same fucking faggot from the other day? I've told you this shit is a health related matter you stupid cunt.

>>1938195

Thanks a bundle, this helps tremendously. You're right about her looking tense, I think it's because when I started out I intended the pose to be slightly different but forgot about that in the process of redrawing certain parts a gazillion times. Thank you for taking the time to help me, I'll watch the proko vid.

Finishing up these doodles for fun, going to try to get them all done tonight/tomorrow.

>>1938208
BTFO maymay

>>1938202
Value is fucking relative you nigger.
You don't HAVE to have a type of background you just have to UNDERSTAND that your perception of light and dark is changed when the surrounding value is different.

You're probably a bait post and it serves me wrong coming onto a thread like this.

ahn

Can i get critique on some of these sketches? Been studying a lot of gesture lately, not really focusing a lot on proportions, so it may be jacked up a little. Also, how can i improve that coloring style to make it more appealing?

>>1938239
Sorry about the size on this one...

>>1938239
>>1938242

>>1938234
>Ahn!~

lewd.

>>1938231
right, so don't just go spouting "don't use white background" if values are describing form fine.

>>1938244
very silly.
they are wonky as fuck but that makes them silly.

>>1938268
Yea, that was actually what they were meant to be, hahahaha.

>>1938244
>>1938242

stop using white background, it burns my eyes like the sun.
