>>1964439
i know its kinda shitty but eh might as well

whats the artist of OP's pic?

>>1964464
No, not the canvas mode, the export mode.
Comic mode is binary.

anything?

>>1964461

I think he's human, I'm not totally sure though, you'll have to find out. I'm 90% sure of it though.

>>1964474
Nope

>>1964474
legs are too long, and they show that you're thinking flat. notice how the feet are pretty much standing on the same spot

>>1964410
Yes, if you resize in comic mode when exporting, the alias from the binary conversion will make it look worse than a 3DS game.
Illustration mode export resizing uses antialiasing. When set to high quality, that is.

>>1964474
It look like there's no skeleton or proportion. the chest seems too low and the right arm doesn't "connect" :P

>>1964191
!!!
>I don't know how semen works but I had to do it

>>1964511
You did good, coming through like that.
The best way to describe semen, since its on my hand and fingers every two days is that it feels like less saturated syrup. Not enough to feel sticky like maple syrup, but not dripping like saliva.
Its somewhere in that medium.

If you go on XVideos and watch guys jerk off and cum, you may get a better understanding of it. But thats only if you want to.

Anyone have a tutorial or something to make anime landscapes?

>>1964474

>>1964530
>go on XVideos and watch guys jerk off and cum
I've got ya man I got ya.

>>1964533
The same way you make "anime people."

>>1964533
>anime landscapes
lol you're kidding right?
just make a regular landscape.

>>1964439
Whoa you used my pic to start a thread, I`m honored anon..
>>1964461
That would be me, I do not have anything up online, I only post stuff here, tho very rarely, mostly lurking and learning, I am however working on finishing that char + bg, and 59 other ones, as a gift for my friend ( he wants to make a board game rpg )

>>1964572
Only better. No textures.

Critique? Advice?

>>1964685
You already posted that.
Personally, it makes me sick.

>>1964685
Adorable!!

Unless you're referencing an episode, the whip going through her hair makes it look like its actually going through her skull, maybe try putting it in back of the entire hair? and curve the end points back up toward her face to get some good composition going :) Do a redline with my advice and hopefully you should see what I'm getting at.

>>1964685
gross

>>1964689
Whoops, sorry about posting it again.
>>1964692
Thank you for the actual advice! Really appreciate it.

>>1964703
no problem! Do you have a tumblr? I would love to see more of your stuff

>>1964706
You make me sick

>>1964715
lmao if you think they're samefagging I feel sorry for you. Channel that hate and masturbate or something. Hop off.

>>1964721
I never implied samefag.
You just make me sick for liking that abortion of a drawing there.

>>1964721
One thing I have learned from observation is if you get someone buttmad on /ic/ like right now and it's directly from your work it means you are probably doing something right.

>>1964723
god forbid someone isnt a dick on /ic/

srsly, shut up and draw.

>>1964725
That doesn't make any sense at all

>>1964725
exactly lol. Some anons act like your drawing killed their family.

>>1964727
Why else would an anon seem inexplicably angry and yet not point out any problems?

>>1964731
People get mad at beginner that think they're the shit, when in reality they just suck.

>>1964706
Yes I do (warning some nsfw content)

mortalchocolate.tumblr.com

>>1964739
There's a difference between that asshole who draws anime in the classroom and thinks theyre "the artist" of the school and someone who just posts their art and asks for advice.

>Critique? Advice?

Literally, you're just proving your point that you feel threatened by their artwork. Stop being so insecure because other people can post their art and you can't. (inb4 merc_wip)

>>1964751
Nah, you're completely wrong.
I just find it hilarious.
What makes me mad is people actually liking that stuff, like >>1964706.
It's no different thatn hating people that like MLP or Twilight.
Think about it.

>>1964755
So...you're only mad because it's a popular thing that people like?

What the hell are you even doing in this thread then.

>>1964758
What?
I don't think you understood anything I wrote, at all.

>>1964760
>It's no different thatn hating people that like MLP or Twilight.
You're only hating someone because they like something thats mainstream lol. And this is the anime thread. (says stylization too but lets be real, mostly anime)

>>1964760
nigga no one is understanding what you're writing. shut the fuck up.

I guess it's true that these threads are as bad as DA

>>1964770
oMG !!! DRAMA LLAMAS!!! :la: :XD: 50 millions plz icons

Thanks to whoever suggested picking up Proko and Hampton in the previous thread when I posted my shitty gesture drawings. After reading through the first section on gesture in Hampton and a few Proko videos I did these. Are they starting to look like gesture drawings now?

>>1964816

his ahegao is pure fucking gold though

>>1964811
for what purpose?

>>1964811
not entirely.
looks like the same thing as last time

>>1964811
>Are they starting to look like gesture drawings now
that's a pretty common misconception around here. gestures are only a means to an end, there's no such thing as "looking like a gesture drawing". people who try to copy the style of the gestures of whatever flavor of the month artist /ic/ likes totally miss the point.

if you draw a gesture drawing and it helps you to build a good looking figure, then it's correct! people used to do gestures with shammies for crying out loud. it's just a technique for starting figure drawings so that they don't come out stiff.

>>1964819
Just to get the basics of gesture drawing down so I have a good foundation to build on

>>1964821
Suggestions?

>>1964826
The figures I was drawing earlier were horrendously stiff compared to these so I do feel these are probably a step in the right direction, albeit not perfect yet. That said, I think I'll continue on through Hampton's book to see if I can start building good looking figures with what I've got. Thanks!

does anyone know how to rotate the canvas on photoshop cs6?
anyways crits on my firestorm. I still don't know how to draw hands and faces very well.

>>1964456
it's actually kinda cool. You just need to study a little bit more of the fundamentals of art before you jump into stylization.

>>1964856

Press R

>>1964870
omg thank you, this will make things much easier.

>>1964866
I usually sketch these in-between rounds on csgo so i know it's rushed/fucked

drew an annie...

>>1964700
Not perfect, but definitely better.

>>1964474

have a red line amingo

trying to do some pose practice..
c-can i haz a redline too guys?

>>1964967
What's up with you and succubi?

>>1964856
His abs narrowing that much and becoming his groin looks weird, and the face feels a tad stretched vertically, but pretty cool aside from that.

>>1964975
thats like asking whats up with rinfag and rins

>>1964950
>first of all that redline
>then that name

lmao. not even the person who drew that, but bro you sound on point. People used to make me make me make my anime more and more realistic to reflect real anatomy that it started look just freakish. this is calming

>>1964511
reeeeeeiiii

You don't play with this cat.
This cat plas with you

>>1965135
do you draw with your mouse?

>>1964950
You must be new. Mikufag always draws from reference, telling him touse ref is stupid. That means you are stupid. Also, fuck off. You think you're funny with your little insert at the bottom? Im not even a fan of miku, but people like you disgust me. You fucking sheep-following-meme-faggot. You are not welcome here!

>>1965162
no

>>1965164
Dude what?

>>1965164
thx 4 the laugh m8

>>1964950

I don't agree with all of your points (I'm not mikufag) but this is actually one of the more informative redline and advice I've seen on /ic/ in the odd year i've been here, I hope you stick around m8.

>>1965164

>>1964439
>"To any man who has slaved to acquire skill in his art, it is most irritating to have his ability referred to as a gift.

Wow mango artists sure think they are something.

>>1965312
But that's a direct quote from Loomis.

>>1965312
>>1965317
lel

>>1965317
So? You can litteraly use this quote for My Little Pony artists? it is still MLP garbage..

you dumb lil shit.

>>1965325
Not him, but I don't get what's wrong with that quote

>>1965325
Come back to me when you find a quote from an MLP Artist or even an Animu Artist that comes close to the wise words of glorious Loomis.

>>1965329
He thought I got the quote from some Anime Artist.

>>1965330
you are the one who used a loomis quote to promote your animu shit? you are a disgrace

>>1965344
Not him, but are you saying animu is style is any less art than any other style?

>>1965346
yes

>>1965350
Then you're an ignorant idiot

>>1965344
Loomis introduced a stylized rendition of his ball and plane method as well as the importance of construction, form, and perspective in Fun with a Pencil. You should know this, furthermore the material you pick up in his books are just tools that you may use for any application whether it is MLP or Animu it makes no difference as you will still be working with basic forms and other fundamental properties.

Very first drawing in many many many months, please be kind.

Stylized art is art for kids... Prove me wrong.

>>1965355
No, I will not.

>>1965357
Be mean then, I need solid advice

>>1965356
You dont know what that means
Even the masters styilzed

>>1965360
You drew a fucking face, badly, probably copied from the manga, I dunno.
And that hand makes no anatomical sense.
Next time draw a whole body.

>>1965361
Make the difference between stylized and style.
90% of manga is the same disgusting draw

it is well suited for inferior artists

>>1965380
Come back when you've read something more than just shounen manga. Idiot.

>>1965361
>replying to an obvious bait

Another one.
Yeah the last one was badly drawn, but a man has to start somewhere

>>1965380
>Cognitive dissonance

>>1965380
>stylized

>style
Present
>90% is the same
Thats great then, your obviously superior skills shows

I'm never sure about whether to post my work here or in the draw thread.

Anyway, thoughts?

>>1965392

Try to keep some more flow in your drawing, and put some more effort into those scales.

If you don't feel like filling the whole thing with then spread them out equally, not dense in one area and almost none in another.

Keep it up.

Bueno

>>1965575
OMG! It's an alien! 8O

Thank U :3

arcueid, in a chair wip, is left hand will be resting in a table

>>1965679
Watch out the proportions. They kinda odd :P

>>1965679
Body proportions, eyes, skull structure and perspective.
If you use Manga Studio 5/Clip Studio Paint, you should try out those 3D models to play around and see how it should look like.

>>1964660
Do you speak slovenian?

>>1965628
I can see the ghost line of her skull. Its too short altho the volume of the hair makes up for it. Just remember that skull is as wide as long.

The eye feels a bit too big.

work on hands dont leave them you need to be good at hands.

strong 5/10

also you are too yung for 4chan.
>>1965575

Looks silly, you might want to experiment with line weight to make lines less boring.

fair 6/10
>>1965524
The lines are the best about the picute. It feels like he has no neck. The head and shoulders area seems to have anatomical problems. Also his face is unappealing and his skull might be a bith too wide. Why is he smiling like retard and doing this gesture ? you need to tell a story when drawing.

5/10

I don't want to practice!
I want draw cuties! >__<

>>1965884
Srry. This is the good one. Enjoy :9

>>1965679
thanks foor the tips, i dont have the program, but, the parts i see that are wrong, are the left leg, the left hand, the eyes aren't aligned,

also about the proprtions, the legs in general are small, thats why it looks odd?

Other thing i dont know is if the right foot looks good or not, because when she is sitting that way the foot is floating facing down maybe... right?

>>1965904

>>1965904
im no perfect, but this are the things i saw, the left arm can't be twisted the way you draw it, look at your own arm, i know it looks different.

the chest is too big, small it a bit.

i know that the image is anime, but the head is too big, the shoulders size are more or less the half of the head

the right leg need more volume.

try to draw the hair as a whole, instead of each hair individually.

my english sucks, but i hope that helps you

>>1965935

Stupid boner won't let me draw shit.

actually this one is a bit too hard for me.
Spent too much time trying to make the pose less fucked up then in was and SOMEWHAT fix hands and feet (hardly succesfully) so i noticed face fuck-ups only after started coloring.

>>1966197
You've got really low standards if this gives you a boner.

Fix the nose, and make the mouth not open so wide.

>>1964887
I like that

>>1966206
The ass though
but, you're right, I'm so concerned about feet and hands so I completely forgot about the rest

>>1966197
Dude why did you color that?
That needs some heavy redline

>>1966224
because I myself can't do that.

I spent two days trying to make at least this and felt that I came too far to abandon this drawing.

If anyone of you would be so generous to help me with this one I'd be really grateful.

>>1966197
Anyone have Kyle's early work saved?

>>1966336

I'd study lips those are really flat and skewed a bit to the left. And her body is completely misproportioned. Her face is WAY too realistic to get away with a waist that narrow and it makes her shoulders look really broad. her body and you should be okay. I'd work on the hair a little too she looks a little like medusa.

I've always thought his stuff even now was still a little wonky like this is, even if his rendering got a lot better. I do think he improved a ton in a short time, though.

>that res

Why does he colour her grey first?

>>1966778
her right eye is too far up, her chin is off center, her lips are too slanted and one side is too big.

>>1966785
i mean her left eye

>>1966783
it's more of a tonal placeholder to judge value than a color.

I fail to see a catgirl here.

>>1967020
You aren't thinking about shapes and you aren't confident with your lines.

>>1967020
More butt. well.. more body mass in general. It's too skinny. Control the body proportions. build it in basic prisms such as spheres and boxes. (as >>1967029 slightly implied) Try to dinamize more the pose.

>>1967020
This is far from a perfect example but you should also look into improving your gesture drawings. Skeletons are okay for proportions but often stiffen what pose you're going for.

Hampton and Vilppu are good for this sort of stuff.

>>1967020
it's horrifying garbage. try to rebuild the human body part by part in order to understand it better.

Wasn't on purpose, but she reminds me of Daenerys

I guess it got better than >>1966197

But does it actually step onto OK territory now?

I can feel that this drawing is something i'm not yet good enough for but it would be quite bitter to give up after investing so much effort.

>>1967134
draw in basic forms while having proportions in mind, it will become easier.

>>1967141
I do.
The first (most fucked up one) was drawn like a gesture, yeah I suck with gestures.

The latest one was drawn like perspective box, spine line, ribcage "egg", pelvis "two dishes"and so on. I tried to build it out of figures with perspective (with which i'm not yet good enough.)

>>1967157
m-m-m-MUH CLIT!!!

>>1967134
Shitty redline incoming.
Just wanted to show you that volume is something that is nice as well.
Also round your faces out a bit more, I see what you where trying to do but the depression for the eye sockets should be a bit more subtle rather than a concave depression immediately where the eyes are.
The face can tell everything the person is feeling/thinking and the rest of the body can emphasize it. Keep that in mind when you do your expressions.

>>1967229
Tanks

Let's discuss how fucking STYLISH that persona 5 trailer was

>>1967180
I like the bigger file, always interested to see what different people's stuff looks like at hi res. Like JJ's hi res stuff looks super rough and scribbled, but works when zoomed out.

As for the buff girl, anatomy is pretty odd in places. Neck is a bit too thin and far back, hips are pretty improbable looking, and the butt crease or whatever that is on her left leg is just impossible. Your rendering is good but you should work on forms a bit more for imagination stuff like this.

perspective?

>>1969402
What you forgot to mirror it or something?

Sometimes it's better to wait a day before you post it, you see things differently.

everything i knew about drawing lines has to be relearned - drawing digital is like drawing on a block of ice.

Copied a Jake Parker megaman. Learned a couple things
>soft brush is better for making "gradients"
>erasing excess lines is a bitch - not the way to do linework... or is it?
>i hate round brush - is there a brush that emulates the pocket brush pen?
>now rendering feels like a loop of "do and undo" I don't like it

we have a long way to go

>>1969488
Airbrushes are best for making gradients aside from the gradient tool itself.

Make your lineart on a separate layer from the sketch layer so you don't waste time cleaning it up as much.

Do and undo is what you're going to be doing all the time in digital art. It's better than having to grab an eraser each time and erase, fearing that you may smudge or rip your canvas or something. You'll get used to it. We all did.

>>1969492
>Make your lineart on a separate layer from the sketch layer
duh! - I can't believe I didn't do this. My lineart is super thick to mask the sketch. Next time...

>Do and undo is what you're going to be doing all the time in digital art
I'm bad at erasing with the pen, I leave random artifacts that start to shit up the drawing. Just gotta practice some more. Thanks for the tips!

I'm new to digital art. What would you recommend sai, photoshop or that program you just mentioned?

>>1969697
I always recommend starting with SAI, then switching to Manga Studio 5/CSP.
SAI is pretty user friendly and light, so iy allows you to experiment and practice easily.
MS5/CSP is more complex and gives all sorts of tools for any situation and it's also the best for actual manga. Its tool customization is pretty awesome, and this is something you will be thankful for once you start getting experience.

>>1969697
try them all
you can get them for free
see which one you like best and thats it
besides there is no need to stick to just one
i like to sktch on photoshop, lineart in sai or ms and paint and finish it in photoshop again

What I found helps me is really mimicking and thinking about traditional tools. The default settings weren't working for me. So I looked for brushes. The brushes I got were better, they were fun, but I didn't need all of them! I just needed to adjust in brush pressure and size settings to get what I wanted.

Erasing - Something I personally overlooked, and helped me realize how important the brush settings were. "Should" be a soft round airbrush with some spacing and flow pressure. This allows you to get a hard erasing with some pressure applied. Really depends what you wanna do. You can also square off the brush if you need a tight corner. You can take off all pressure for a hard erase job.

Drawing/Sketching - You want feathered light lines, it's like using a pencil or a ballpoint pen, or a wet brush. Any shape size or texture you pick doesn't matter. Use a small brush size between 1-5 or however big your canvas is. Make sure to use flow and opacity pressure on sketching, play around with this, and make the tablet pressure "soft" so light pressure gives you a dark line, this prevents wrist strain.

Drafting/Inking/Brushing - Eliminate spacing! Inking is solid line art with no pressure or a tiny amount flow/opacity(play around with it in whatever program you use, just don't overdo it) and make sure you enable size pressure!

Architectural/Industrial Drafting - Eliminate sizing is your first priority. Unless you know what you're doing, Don't use sizing!

>>1969488
The lines are very sketchy with brush-like lines. It does look like felt-tip marker though. You should figure everything out first in a sketch. I think you'd benefit from using a drawing/sketching brush with light careful lines! You ejaculate your feathering here, then move to inking or painting. You can either trying to paint over it first, built up with nice shapes and good thought to forms. Or ink first with thought to line weights!

its not bad honestly reminds me of a leyendecker or cornwell where they just painted a white "vignette"

if you really want a bg tho the first thing is to eliminate the white

Work in progress here, should I remove the line completely and just paint it loish style?

I'm kinda lost after this point.

the lines look pretty clean, are they on a separate photoshop layer? Maybe you can experiment with layermasking and playing with the colors

>>1970191

Everything is separated yes! I'll use the layer masks to color the drawing, I usually never do that tho, I prefer painting without even drawing first and just using the brush like pic related, I painted this one last month

So any guides for painting using layer masks and such?

>>1968864
What's the accepted canvas size for an illustration? or is it just what your PC can handle?

Uhm?

Did a few of my friend's DnD characters today, heres one of em

>>1970208
yea ctrl+paint masking series 1-2 cover everything

hell every digital painting tutorial by ctrl+paint is a goldmine

>>1970215
whatever your pc can handle. and your personal preference.

Professional jobs usually entail magazine illustration. I know I know, nobody buys magazines anymore. But consider a drawing challenge to draw in vertical unit formats or even 2 page spreads.

Album covers are still legit, bands that put their music online must submit a 1000x1000 image.

Book/Comic covers are still a business.

Eh?

Some dumb fanart. Think I should render it ot leave it pretty muvh as is?

>>1970700
Missing darker values, I would add them to the audino but leave the background as is. Right now there really isn't an emphasis on the pokeman, looks flat.

>>1970690

Her ribcage looks a little too small... Unless she's supposed to be young? In which case her face looks too old.

>>1970705

Thank you! I'm always afraid of darker values (especially when I'm working with such a bright happy environment) because I have a tendency to over do them.

>>1970690
Yes, the head is huge.
Although, is she an alien demon or something? The eyes are really weird.
Anyway, here's my input on how I would picture it.

>>1970700
oh god the colors

>>1970734

Anything less vaugue for me? Are the colors obnoxious? I tried to stay away from anything too saturated.

>>1970739
having good color palette is the most effortless way to hugely improve even the shittiest artpiece.

it looks like you just picked few of the preset colors, also why you used *that* desaturated pink as the shadow on the ears/hand? there is almost no difference from the base pink.

>>1970751

But I didn't? The colors are a little cliche I'll admit but I'm going to stand by my choices, And someone else already pointed out my shadows are weak. I'm working on it.

>>1970769
>I'm going to stand by my choices
if thats the case im really curious why did you chose two colors that close to each other when you use only 3 colors on the pink parts?

>>1970774
I'm intimidated by darker values. It's something I need to work on. I usually just go with something a bit darker and cooler for my shadows. It works pretty well and seems to match up with my observations from life 90% of the time. In this case I just got nervous about making things too dark. It happens. That's why you post on forums like this isn't it? So other people can help you notice flaws like that?

>>1970783
the beautiful thing about darker values is that it's really hard for people to see them no matter how perfect their vision is.

Just dont use black unless it's an occlusion area.

>>1970792

Hmm alright I'll keep that in mind next time. I think it looks a lot better now. Audino really was getting lost in the background.

>>1970783
well if you come here in the first place asking for advice, there is no need to get all defencive when people actually try to give you the advice you seek.

pic related is just quickly messing with the colors, im sure it took me incomparably less time to *retouch* it than it took you to make it. it would be even better when you start with good colors in the first place

>>1970804

Did I come across as defensive? I'm sorry. I really did appreciate the critique I just didn't agree. I like my base color choices they're giving me the feel I was going for. I wasn't trying to be ungrateful.

>>1970814
well the base color choices are giving me the feel that they are wrong. question is if its just my subjective opinion, or if they really are *wrong*

Did this as a request for /v/, just kinda freeballing the perspective and anatomy. Any tips?

>>1970923
Mirror your drawing constantly

>>1970956
Thankye for the face corrections, anon! I do mirror, albeit not as much as I ought to.

>soft round airbrush with some spacing and flow pressure
What is spacing? I figured out where the flow pressure control is...

>You want feathered light lines
cool, i'll give this a try

>make sure you enable size pressure!
ah i think this is what I am missing

>you'd benefit from using a drawing/sketching brush with light careful lines
will do!

>You ejaculate your feathering
haha what is feathering?

thanks for all the feedback

If you use photoshop. There is an icon with a paint bucket and a brush or two in it. Under tools it's brushes or brush settings? You basically want the one with brush options and sliders if you see jitteriness and pressure you're in the right place. Oh I hope you have a tablet!

>what is spacing?
It gives your brush an equidistant increment of spacing when you make a line statement, like skipping. your brush might look like this ... Or . . . You get the idea. I'm not exactly sure what it's for but Sam neilson uses this with an air brush and the eraser. What cool about it is that you can go soft and firm with the same brush. With an eraser it's like using a kneaded eraser and a plastic eraser in one.

>feathering
Tbh. I don't know it takes on a meaning within Photoshop and it's also a term we coined in art when someone draws too many lines to complete a drawing.
In that context I meant to say, since you feather a lot, using a soft light sketching brush with pressure enabled on flow and opacity, you can go willy nilly. It's very forgiving for sketching, the lines will be light, so the lines you meant to do will be darker. It'll come naturally. I've been drawing a long time, and if I don't know what I'm doing I get pretty sketchy myself, these kinds of sketching brushes are a godsend for me.

Good luck to you, I'm actually drawing a mega man myself, so thank you, you got me motivated again anon!

Sup' guys?

What the fuck is wrong with his neck.

>>1971835

>try to hide and avoid drawing hands/10

>>1970797

imo I think the composition works better if the "camera" is moved slightly downwards so it shows less grass and gives more depth to the sky

maybe use cool shadows? desaturated blue for lines+shadows and subtly add a bit of saturation on the base colors. I think that this is a good way to make those soft colors pop out a bit more.
but I could be wrong, and not the greatest example too. but just my 2 cents

>>1971446
>>1971449
these are quite nice by the way, im digging it :)

>>1971835
raise the right shoulder and place it behind the neck. Try to make it clear that you drew a hand. Remember the bean! The bean is an exercise for form overlaps, which are apparent on when the torso twists, stretches and scrunches. Keep the shirt simple, it's a challenge so it's good you drew stripes, and they are helping to describe the form, but the heavy lines are distracting and offsetting everything in the image. Lighten them up or don't include them. There's also something uncanny about the clock on his necklace. Keep shapes simple! That could be described with an ellipse. It's not that you can't or shouldn't. Your goal is to make a readable image, based on your current skill set. You will get there!

>>1972110
I personally like the line quality and hatching. It reminds me of a comic. The poses are nice. The simple colors are good too, there's always room for improvement though.

May I ask why you don't like it? Art is subjective, but I can see areas where the artist is flourishing and I can appreciate these areas even if I disagree with the work. Basically everyone deserves a fair chance with their work if they're being legitimately serious about improvement.

>>1972115
Drugs are bad, m'kay?

>>1972118
>>1972110
It's unfortunate you weren't able to explain your dislike. I could ask you what kind of art you're into but that would probably be unreasonable as well.

So don't worry about it. Just keep drawing.

>>1972331
You're burning out yourself if you keep working without knowing what you're doing. Draw a bunch of gesture to get the feel of the human figure.

>>1972350
Ofcourse, but is gesture what I really need?

I thought my weakest part was materials(the floor is cheated), shades, and the very way im' greasing "paint" all over the picture.

And yes, I do understand that it's better to make lots of stuff i can d in one evening then to keep bashing my head to the wall of what i can't do, but I sometimes get that I MUST feeling in my head.

>>1972353
No no dude.
Your biggest issue is anatomy, big a huge margin. Don't worry about coloring for now, you need to fix your base drawing and understanding of anatomy, asap.

>>1972135
hands/arm feel very small and weak, like there's no energy. also too short.

Sup /ic/, doodling late at night wanted to know if you guys could give your thoughts/cnc/redline on this. Gonna completely redo the face sooner or later. I'm mainly bothered/paranoid about how fucking flat it looks.

I should really post here more, though most of my shit is just naked figure sketches rip

>>1972528
Hope this helps, always render draw your figures so that they are grounded. Standing sitting, laying down, etc. something needs to be supporting their weight. I'm alos not sure what he's supposed to be doing or what you had in mind for the sketch. It really does help to have some purpose each time you draw, rather than just making floaty characters. Even if it's a doodle it will help to build professional habits.

i need help with my coloring cause i feel like i'm just pillow shading. also is there any anotomy issues?

>>1972784
I think I see what you mean. Thanks. It's just that making the final lines felt like it took way longer than it needed to be for less than satisfactory work. It took me 3 days just to ink that one stinking drawing.
