/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

First

>>1973301
wow, it's like i'm on da

>>1973313
Considering the amount of sakimifags and kronfags, you are on da. You faggots mentioned this place and now you deal with the repercussions.

I can't get the creases or the bow on the shirt right, /ic/

>inb4 tumblr pls go

>>1973318
Bows tend to curve outward

>>1973318
you didn't get anything right.

>>1973321
just like your life then.

>>1973318
Don't listen to others, this looks pretty good

>>1973318
Maybe didn't post the version for ants, we'd be able to see the details.

>>1973318
>tumblr nose
tumblr, please go.

>>1973373
What's a tumblr nose?

>>1973373
That isn't a tumblr nose, retard. Also, where do you think you are? this isn't /v/. Tumblr isn't the devil.

>>1973381
>Tumblr isn't the devil.
You're right. It's just plain shit.

who is the artist in the op?

>>1973318
>>1973320
Out of all the replies, this was the only helpful one

/ic/ has become 90% shitpost
Can't even get a crit here anymore

>>1973389

What's the matter, faggot, upset that this isn't a hugbox? Upset that we're assblasting you out to orbit and you can't handle it?

>>1973318
The bow on her head is the one that is wrong.

>>1973388
Kyle, you can find more about him in the previous thread.

>>1973388
[shilling intensifies]

>>1973397
thanks
>>1973398
no shill, honest, i just recognize the style from this vivian pic he drew and i wanted to see more

>>1973392
assblasting without an actual crit behind it is just shitposting

For /a/non.

>>1973399
The amount of shilling that goes on here especially since everyone learned about that tracing faggot that makes big bucks out of autistic weebs is a matter to be taken seriously as everyone seems to be subtly throwing their names out now. Perhaps it's to mimic the others who are now wallowing in Shekels by doing just that.

>>1973406

Or maybe people actually like things and want to know names so they can follow them. Can't possibly happen, there must be a giant conspiracy for everything.

>>1973406
i'm not aware of /ic/'s internal politics, i'm just a visiting anon

>>1973318
paint the form a deltoid for a young female frame instead of shirt creases. For the bow, you're probably symbol drawing, Get a picture in a similar position. I bet gravity will be a force on the cloth.

Nice colors. I think you should saturate one of them, but that's for your personal taste.

guess what? I like it. Keep drawing.

>>1973404
I like it

>>1973318
I think this looks really nice and has a cute visual appeal to it. The bow on her head is her hair though, right?

Does anyone have that tutorial OP made on using the water tool in sai?

>>1973409
Dont let him get you in expired jam.
Keep the Jam fresh in the fridge

>>1973419
deep

>>1973413
Thanks!

>>1973417
Yeah it's like the one Lady Gaga wore, I'm going to get refs for it in a bit.

>>1973418
IIRC he said he used another method now.

cmon guys lets not bite the bait
i want to think that it is just one person talking to himself
read the critics and ignore the shitposting, pretty simple

>>1973381
>Tumblr isn't the devil
This guy. Please go back to tumblr k?

>>1973428
Awesome, thanks

And my guess is that he used the blur tool instead of water now. Seems like the form in his more current work is a bit softer than in that picture where it looks a bit more like wet clay.

>>1973404
what is your opinion on life drawing?

>>1973442
lel

>>1973428
>>1973428
may i see final product?

>>1973389
/ic/ likes to hold up anime to the same standards as Leonardo Da Vinci.If it's not what they like wether good or bad it'll be shit on.

>>1973439

Wait I've been gone for a while, when the fuck did we turn on tumblr?

>>1973278
Someone want to post the original of this pic?

>>1973448
We didn't turn on tumblr, that guy is probably a shitter from /v/ who doesn't understand what tumblr is.

>>1973389
I think /ic/ is really only good for giving you resources, and letting you know when you're good enough to make it on your own through hate. Where as Dobson and Buckly were hated and sort of dissected to find out where they went wrong, the current trend is to hate any artist who gets good enough to make something of them self. It's an annoying trend but at least you know when you've hit good tier.

>>1973448
Tumblr just has a bad rep because to many artists can't separate their political/social beliefs from their professional lives and usually shove it down everyone's throats. It's also a pretty bad hugbox. Not as bad as deviant art, but the mentality is definitely there. There's also a few art "styles" that sort of make up a majority of the work you see "big red nose, Steven Universe, adventure time" so that's also working against it.

Add on top of that the restrictions on the art you create and you get why there is some ill will towards that site, still, I'm sure most people who draw have one. It's easy as fuck to market yourself on there.

>>1973457
>Tumblr isn't the bad guys! The real bad guys are /v/!
Nice logic.

what can i fix? i dont know how to make it any more moeblobby. plus it looks 2dimensional?

>>1973389
1 is pretty good already. stop whining. you're acting like we have to draw that bow for you.

generally remember this: if you have trouble drawing something unknown, look up some refs and think about the 3d shape.

>>1973443
i'm serious.

>>1973471
The pose is very unbalanced, try doing it yourself, it's almost guaranteed you won't keep it for long without feeling uncomfortable. There are more flaws. But I'd rather advice you to look for references with a similar pose and compare them to your drawing.

>>1973484
its supposed to be a floaty pose but i guess those are no good ever, right?

Rate my oni.

>>1973485
Well you didn't mention it was meant to be floaty. Anons may interpret differently (to me it doesn't have that floaty feel). This is why sometimes you should be your own critic.
My advice stills stands though, look up references of people in water or stuff like that.

>>1973494
try a little harder/10

>>1973502
How about you try a little harder. What have you drawn lately?

>>1973373

It's a loish nose not a tumblr nose dumbass

>>1973508
Don't turn this on me, you asked anybody to rate your drawing and rated it was. If you just want to pull the "i'm so butthurt but what about you huh" card you better get the fuck out of here.

>>1973471
How about this?

>>1973510
Whatever it's called, it's ugly.

>>1973508

its a WIP

>>1973515

not stylized tho

>>1973513
post a good nose then

>>1973515


I see what you did there

>>1973512
thats really really good anon!! thank you!
from what i can tell, you lengthened the limbs and shortened the neck? i should start using shapes more often.

>>1973518
The best kind of nose for anything but profile is no nose at all.

>>1973529
Yes, I just moved stuff around, barely drew extra things. That's the great thing about digital sketches.

>>1973429
Those poses look retarded

>>1973544
Nice constructive criticism.

source on OP?

>>1973552
The op will always be the best artwork from the last thread

>>1973537

>>1973537
>>1973560
It only works for non rendered artwork though

>>1973429
Those poses are

>asstastic

>>1973560
definitely continue with the star motif

also take advantage of overlap, show the stars intersecting behind her body as well.

>>1973560

>>1973684
ayy

Was fustrated with a drawing today, so in a fit of rage I made this instead.

Hope it makes you happy.

Hey guys i got an idea
From now on we should type in what the purpose the pose we are drawing has, what is it that we want to express
So we can better critique each other
Just a sentence will do

>>1973684
The body looks really flat anon, try and think 3d shapes

>>1973684
I don't understand her body language (nor hair) other than she is leaning on the table.

>>1973795
fuck off kyle

>>1973537
no nose should only be used in more heavily stylized works
sauce: some mangaka from an animu book i downloaded here

and that guy has a style leaning a lot more towards realism

idk how to cute art :(

>>1973811
>fuck off kyle
I wonder why these threads are shit
Everyone post your work

>>1973684
>>1973795
No.

>>1973828
I haven't posted anything other than that funpost a couple of days ago.

>>1973840
>GOM
kill you'reself

>>1973840
based gombro

>>1973840
i have neutral feelings towards your decision to use the gom player

>>1973795
mi idea was showing her left arm resting on the table pointing at the viewer.

Like if she was talking to the viewer, also practice some foreshortening, at first the table was supposed to be at the left, but that will cover all her body image, so at the end i draw the table at the right, and she leaning to that direction, i upload the first file to show what i mean about the table on the left.

>>1973843
>>1973860

GOTTA WATCH STARCRAFT THO

>>1973872
I aint got time for starcraft when I could be watching dungeon & fighter and my mancrush 안성호 wrecking people in a dog suit

would you a demon?

>>1973894
Not that one

>>1973811
it's not even him.

>>1973824
needs more sparkles

>Forget I have f.lux on
>Completely mess up coloring.

'sup guys

Can i get a redline?

>>1973987

>>1973824
she's missing eyebrows

>>1973392
This post should be bannable.

is this a bad time to ask for critique?

>>1974012
posts like this only prove him right

>>1974032
i should mention that i'm looking for help with anatomy specifically, especially her legs and crotch area. it's still a wip.

>>1973894
blog?

>>1973471
>2 dimensional
looking straight on us
pose is impossible in real life
dress has no form, especially where it meets the waist

how to moeblob:

turn your eyes from vertical rectangles into something more rounded on all corners
take the outside corner of the eye and round it all the way down if possible
bulge out the cheeks more
smaller mouth
erase nose completely
round off the chin and make it smaller in general
moves the eyes downwards a bit
make all the appendages slightly thinner and shorter
bind feet and hands

>>1973494
his right eye appears depressed into his face and downwards, as if he's a plastic toy that was melting there

>>1973824
>missing eyebrows
>knees way too fucking large might as well be pillows
>knees shifted too far to her right
>hard black lines everywhere with hard colors

>>1973987
honestly reconsider your eye placement on the person on the left

same with your mouth placement/rotation

>>1974052
We shouldn't be able to see that much underwear. Crop off a bit off the left.

Just open a new layer, do a nude redline over it, and then figure out the location of everything.

>>1974061
none at the moment

Is this a better thread to post comic book style art in? I rarely, if ever, get feedback in the draw thread.

>>1974118
Crosspost in the beginner thread, sketchbook thread, the draw thread, and this one at the same time.

>>1974100
that's not his work.

>>1973987

I'm not an expert, but agree with >>1974100

Here's my attempt...

>>1974118
make a new thread.

>>1974120
That seems like a way to piss people off. Especially on here.

>>1974129
Never thought about that. I'm not exactly a thread starter.

w.i.p, thoughts?

idk if the skirt is right.., like, how loose should look

>>1973894
I think the extreme thighs are doing something to my dick

>>1974094
ill keep knees in mind. i drew eyebrows in the sketch but i guess i forgot to line them :/
also there are literally no black lines you dumb shit.

>>1974186
That's quite the improvement. And you should check some other official takeuchi art that is not just her front face and in the angle you need.

>>1974091
i dont know what you mean by the dress having no form. or any of the moeblob stuff.

>>1974105
alright, how's this? you were totally right about the underwear.

>>1974049
You were in the tutorial translating thread, weren't you?

You have this trick, and this trick alone.

Do something else.

>>1974122
Whose work is it then?

DO MORE GESTURE YOU FAGGOTS, LOOK AT ALL THESE STIFF ASS FIGURES.

You watch animu all the time but have you ever look into how they animate it? Look at gainax or trigger or some shit and copy them.

>>1973824
Her eyes are above her hair

>>1974274
maybe i should rotoscope to get the idea?

>>1974295
yup just cut out 75% of the frames and do some intermediate level anime realism painting over it. say comrade a lot, it'll soak everybodies panties

>>1974274
whats gesture precious

Finished this yesterday.

>>1974284
that's how most animu works

>>1974362
blog?

/sheepishly hides

>>1974370
Nope.

Only Deviantart.. sadly. And i don't upload regulary.

Sorry for the bad english anyway. (Beaner)

wip

>>1974378
Do you use Photoshop?
and mind showing your process?

>>1974003
under rated post

>>1974420
Clip Studio Paint Pro

>>1974267
check the name of the post, it's a h-artist.

Some help here please?
There definitely is something wrong, but i just can't figure it out

>>1974541
eyes/brows

flat and no expression, symbolstamped

>>1974537
Is it just me or does Clip Studio not have a opacity by pressure setting, like photoshop does?

>>1974547
also, that fucking giraffe NECK

>>1974548
It does, there should be a square or arrow icon right next to the parameter you want to make pressure dependent.

Drew this silly thing to practice drawing vehicles.

>>1974550
They can be made pressure, pen tilt, orientation dependent, or even just random. And this can be applied to the brush size, density, etc.

>>1974553

That is fucking delicious you better be making money with that shit.

>>1974541
It's the neck and shape of the skull

>>1974547
>>1974549
working on that, thanks!

>>1974564
>shape of the skull
a bit more precisely?

>>1974553
I like it.

>>1974554
That's... odd. Changing those didn't do anything for me. Thanks though, I'll play around with those settings some more.

>>1974541

>>1974541

>>1974835

budget teal is that you...

>>1973441
I remember that thread and he said he uses airbrush more now.

>>1974864
It's the best red line I've seen in 2 years. /ic/ is back folks, like it or not.

>>1974875
I've seen better

>>1974876
Anything to keep a nigger down huh?

>>1974876
Lol, the blueline faggot

>>1974553
really like how crisp your stuff looks

>>1974864
No, sorry. Does it matter?

>>1974875
>>1974876
Thanks, I've done quite a few redlines here, so that's probably not my best

>>1974892
>No, sorry. Does it matter?

>>1974904
It can go wherever it wants as far as I'm concerned, as long as you're not the person I redlined.

>>1974835
I wish I had a line control like that with my tablet

>>1974362
spend more time on the face.

>>1974876
>>1974904

No good deed goes unpunished in /ic/

>>1974911
What model is it?

>>1973721
It's not finished.

>>1974186
Way better another advice that I want to give you is to stop the scatchy sketching. Try to use confident lines.

Trashed my first pass, seems it was a good decision

A copy of Dishonored concept art I did. Had great fun trying to recreate it and would seriously recommend this style to anyone. Its just like a paint by numbers

>>1975106
Looks zombified.

sharing wip

>>1975131
pretty fabiolus.

>>1975106
interesting. i'd love to keep up with your work. have any place where you post them?

Went for a watercolor-y look. Getting real watercolors soon.

Work in progress

>>1975253
would work better without the textured clouds

>>1975097

I dont know what but there is something weird going on with that arm

>>1975249
dont use a dry brush for a watercolor-y look

>>1975253
better have some interesting eyes and lighting to make that focal point pop

>>1975404
I did that for the hair and background only because the watercolor brushes in PS make it look terrible. There is no good mix of the two kinds of brushes (stipple and watercolor).

>>1975447
i'd suggest getting some custom PS brushes online. please dont ask me how

>>1975460
for watercolor look knr0npr1nz just colors normally and then applies a watercolor filter at the end. true story, i've seen his video.

>>1975465
ok? i dont care

>>1975465
I am the one who posted the WW pic. Thanks for the info. I will see if that looks any better with that filter. Maybe the stipple bursh + the filter will work well.

im finding it hard to create a style that ..well does not look so bland...
halp pls

>>1975353
I ended up fixing it.

>>1975522

Her neck seems awfully long.

Posted this in the wrong thread earlier. It's based on a scene from DBZ. I was trying to emulate Akira Toriyama's style. Thoughts? Also have uncolored version if anyone's interested

>>1975551
Stop copying Anime.

>>1975551

10/10

>>1975483
to me, this looks like a finished pro piece.

but as far as styles, that's gonna take some experimentation.

>>1975575
ok, thank you.
do you mind me asking what looks unfinished about it, because i finished it there and called it "done"

>>1975582
looks NOTHING like a pro piece, looks like a highschool Adobe Illustrator project.

dont let anons suck you off, thats what keeps you from getting better

>>1975589
ok, what do i do to achive a better finish?

>>1975609
its not about the finish, rendering comes only after everything is perfectly in place (unless you meant "finished product")

the snout isnt even facing the same direction as the eyes, the water is trickling down the side of the head completely wrong and doesnt follow any of the contours of the face
the highlights on the fur look weird, the teeth are super flat, the forehead is really weird shaped and flat as well since you dont seem to have a good grasp of 3d objects
the composition is really unbalanced with not a lot of thought and the red aggressively pulls your eye to the dog's green eye or the detailed muzzle, everything else is uninteresting too look at since all the empty space is just.....empty.
background slapped on as an afterthought
lighting is inconsistent
did you use reference or just trace the basic lines of an angry dog picture and then fill it in yourself?

>>1973871
no its still too stiff looking she looks lifeless

>>1974365
only the shitty ones

>>1975648
>the water
I don't think it's water.

>>1975483
My ex would love this.

>>1975667
i believe the creator of that picture (since hes been posting it EVERYWHERE on the board looking for crits) referred to the blue lines as "magical water"

>My ex would love this.
good thing you dumped him then, probably likes screamo as well

>>1975671
posted it twice bro, stop being so butthurt.

>>1975648
i used reffs mostly. and yea, you picked out some good points, im reworking it now.

>>1975684
butthurt is a goto buzzword im so sick of. just because i use capital letters for emphasis doesnt mean that im foaming at the mouth

>>1975692
You're trolling multiple threads. Reflect on your life, shitwad.

>>1975698

Anybody want to give me pointers for drawing female anotomy?
I feel like I have a basic understanding of male anotomy and I thought it was time to start practicing women.
Pic related is my first real attempt at it without a reference.

I really need help with breasts guys.

>>1975730
>we know it's him because he types like a retarded angry 4 year old
>he doesn't realize this

>>1975733
yeah,it sucks being a computer around these parts. A decent case for something just gets watered down by shitposting until the guy who doesnt have an argument worth dogshit just either tries to confuse people into ignore the fact that he got buttblasted, or pulls the old "I was just pretending to be retarded!"

>>1975735

>>1974378
fi xthe girls face in the very back

>>1975749

You need to presketch and divide the body parts into smaller separate geometric shapes if you understand what I mean, this will result into a more natural bodyshape

>>1974553
so how do you get smooth lines like that?

>>1974378
The girl on the right has a very long torso, don't you think?

still ignoring every point i make, how can you be this much of a stupid cunt. going to go spent my time being productive
>"I-i was just being an epic troll guys!"

>>1975735
Well, you can tell you're still too used to drawung dudes.
Shoulders too wide
Waist too wide
Small hips
Wide back
etc etc
Dunno really what would help you in this case other than go to the basics? a redline in this case would just change the whole thing entirely.

>>1975757
Like so?

>>1975774
sorry i cant get the fucking iphone camera to cooperate.

>>1975766
>going to go spent my time being productive
How about stop eating so much beans? Yeah, I see you bitch. I know exactly what you are.

>>1975774
Why not use a reference and practice diving the body of the reference? You'll get the hang of it that way.

>>1975768
yea it is way to bulky to look feminine.
females are radically different.

>>1975774
What are you doing? What are those blocks? Looks like superman.

Why don't you try doing some gesture drawings of women, and focus on the flow and perspective instead of the contour.

>>1975786
i think studying references for a while would do me some good.
do you have any that you think i should give a try.

>>1975774
I agree with >>1975794
Gesture drawing is the key here.
Drawing blocks without first picturing the gesture results in just doing something mechanically that barely resembles a human. Been there.
Practice with references etc.
>>1975797
Anything that is a human female that you like how it looks, really. I personally used to browse idol galleries.

>>1975800
OK thanks, im going to focus on drawing from real life references till i feel comfortable with it.

i appreciate the critique.

>>1975806
Sure thing
And keep that attitude, honestly.

>>1975806
Remember friend, gestures are your friend. GESTURES. Gestures. Forget everything else for now, it's all about gestures. Gestures, volume, form and perspective. But for now, focus on gestures.

>>1975774

Yeah like this, only that the shapes and proportions on thee pic aren't feminine. As others say, just study females, you'll get a feel for the basic shape pretty quick.

Just want some critics... This is my first finished digital drawing ever.. I know the mask elastic is off so.. yeah..

>>1975816
Critiques, not critics
It's an ok attempt for a first try. But putting aside the coloring and lineart, the anatomy is off.
I suggest next time, post the sketch first, before coloring.
Also, warning signs are never handwritten.

>>1975820
Well my friend suggested I start browsing /ic so I did the sketch before even thinking of posting here.
I also have a horrible time with anatomy but thank you. :)

>>1975799
good stuff mate, I like it

>>1975825
if you have a horrible time with anatomy you should fix that instead of brushing it off.

>>1975831
I don't brush it off. I just try really hard to work on it. Also, I'm used to drawing female so this was actually one of my first attempts at a male.

>>1975835
>it was my first attempt at..
we hear that a lot around here, especially from beginners. it's just an excuse in the end.
you actually used it twice in this thread already. stop it.

i advise you to read some books about drawing for now.

>>1973824
Wtf is with her hand.
Its possessed by Spock or something.

A thing for a school assigment

>>1975829
thanks. i just hope rendering goes decent

>>1975874
this is slick. is this for an illustration class?

>>1975799
fabulous.

>>1975816
nah son.
His torso needs to be closer to his hips.

>>1975799
>>1975878

How the fuck do you do this?

When I attempt to do gestures like that, my figures just end up lumpy and disproportioned.

What's your process?

>>1975897
Increase your Vilppu game. No really, look.

Duly noted, I had already seen that among other things, but I'm focusing on the BG now because wow it's awful. Thanks,

sigh....

>>1975897
Hampton and Vilppu, pretty much. As >>1975919 posted.

Plus, once you get a hang of emphasizing overlapping shapes, it's very rhythmic. Draw fat and skin rolls.

>Hans Moleman teaches art

Seriously though he makes it look painfully easy. No fair!

>>1975874
I love you and i love the colors pls moar

>>1975920
i meant normally. do you stream anything at all? i would like to see your progress.

>>1975927
Just flex those imagination muscles.
Ive been doing that for so long that I can fap to someones profile pic and remember what her body looks like with ease.
Sometimes I reach my hands out and reach my memories of volume, in this case humans. My palms go over the massive defining parts of them and my fingers search the crevasses of the mass. Thank God I increased my pussy game, and finally got to touch one, so now I know the texture and wetness of it. I digress

>>1975929
Nope

>>1975945
that's a shame.

>>1975945
damn...

>>1975923
value > color

literally get the value right and you can make him look like a clown or whatever you;re going for there

as a bonus use a softer brush for sketch lineart and get major forms in :)

keep at it it still looks cool to me, much emotion for a space marine

>>1975945
Do you draw a comic or something? This looks very cool.

>>1975874
very cool man, i was dying to do stuff like this when i was in art school, literally felt like a retard

Why is it that even when a character is the simplest fucking thing ever, I always fuck it up when I try to draw it from imagination? I know how to draw simple shapes. I am alright at making lines. Why is this shit so hard.

>>1975945
nice amine


this is kind of a tangent, but do you guys have any experience with Koreans in video games or the art world? Why do early 20-something koreans always announce that they are korean even if they speak english perfectly? Do they think that it's like a status thing here in the US? It's always kind of cocky too, same with Chinese people to an extent. "I'm asian so..."

so..what? i dont get it

>>1975988
There's a stereotype that asians are better at everything. They also hate being confused with japanese people.

>>1975897
you can do it anon! it's very fun. >>1975919
>>1975926 nailed it.
When I first saw a vilppu drawing he was like the pipe master. I didnt realize he was demonstrating how (form/volume) works. Sometimes the solution is to draw overlapping shapes to demonstrate the volume. You're literally faking it to make it. 99% of the time in still lives and figure drawing, you're drawing something foreshortened in space. Very rarely can you rely on a diagram. But you can always trust these methods, piping, overlapping, rhthyms etc.

tldr watch the vilppu stuffs.

>>1975987
Let yourself go.
be calm and let your mind produce the volume of the character you want.
meditate

>>1975988
>what race are you?
>where are you from?
>are you actually from the US?
>WEI SHEN MOTHERFUCKER

theres a point where you put your foot down

>>1975988
i guess its an insecurity?

i never ask i always observed more of the asians in my area are korean and filipino.

>>1975992
really? i didnt know that. huh. (the japanese part)

wait are those the angry ones or the sad ones? kidding

>>1975997
>really? i didnt know that. huh. (the japanese part)
God forbid you fuck up Vietnamese with japanese

>>1975995
>Let yourself go.
>be calm and let your mind produce the volume of the character you want.

Reminds me of Bruce Lee.

From the thumbnail it looks kind of half-decent (definitely needs to push those values as it's flat), but up close your rendering is really poorl.

If it helps, work in grayscale to establish better values as your range is too shallow and it ends up looking flat, and hit up Ctrl+Paint for rendering as you're not painting correctly (using too small of a brush, not establishing decent brush economy, etdc.)

>>1976035
Thanks. thats exactly what I felt was wrong. I forgot to pocket my color palette. Does anyone use paint tool sai? If so - how do you organize your color. Cause I do it all on 2 layers.

>>1976032

>>1974556
Thanks, and I'm trying man.
>>1975758
I use SAI, line stabilizer on fairly low, and just redraw the same lines like 10 times or until I get it right.

>>1976032
Never forget what paw-paw tought you about the zippers

I've finally decided to force myself to learn how to draw, I made these on my smartphone that came with a stylus, looking for general improvement advice for beginners like me (I've already gone through the wici)
P.S. I know the drawings are shit, please say something other than that

>>1976088
please just start on paper, it's for the best.

also since you're new do a long ass amount of time on perspective, boring but rudimentary.

>>1976089
I picked up a sketchbook and pencils from my work the other day, I plan to start with that but I haven't had much time since then to really dig in and start doodling.

>>1976091
thats good.

Have you checked the free video section of proko? that's helpful stuff for early on.

Things for my thing

>>1976088
is that stan's dad with a flail

>>1976107
I can't face at all, even less so than the rest of what I can't do
He initially had the fat friar-type hair/face but then I started adding chainmail and shoulders and decided he should have a full head of hair

>>1973278

yeah, im working on something

>>1976230
Holy shit fucks that pose.

>>1976233

whats wrong with it anon?

>>1975799
Tumblr?

>>1976233

>>1976075
fix the feet (no instep, too long) and I'm fine with that figure.

organizing my refs and found some So-Bin. Gonna be copying for a bit while I get used to the new tools - sorry

Some general digi questions
>do you guys lasso your layers? Can you create a mask out of a selection? How would you edit said mask if for example you didn't like where the hair ended up?
>whats a good brush for hair?
>Is there like a basic set of skin tone swatches?

Eyeball tutorials gotta hit those up

>>1975582
>>1975589
cutting people down isn't constructive. The piece is solid, it's fairly obvious what it is, the colors are chosen well. But maybe what you need is to take more risks. don't be afraid to try new stuff.


also, "art isn't finished, only abandoned"

Vilppu or Loomis Figure, Whats a better starting point if I aim to do comical art?
