Am I missing anything else?

>>2021651
Eeeehhhh she looks like a fatty I hanged out with in high school. You need to work on the hair and make it look like hair, and definitely add more definition to the hand on the right, now it looks like it's merged with the boob.
I like the face though, it looks exactly like that old friend.

>>2021672
>You need to work on the hair and make it look like hair, and definitely add more definition to the hand on the right,

I noticed the hair looked pretty shitty once I looked at the thumbnail. Its definitly my weakest point.
The hand does need arranging, Ill do that, thanks.

you must have been close with your friend huh?

oh man its done, any fixes before it gets printed?

>>2021679
The hand is too big, judging by where the head of ulna would be it's out of proportion but it's really hard to tell since you have things obstructing the wrist.

>>2021679
That looks really good, I like the color palette you used and the way you did the shading.
The only think is your nickname, it's really dark compared to the drawing as a whole.

>>2021679
i want to say bad things just because it's sailor moon, but good job.

>>2021677
Y-Yeah, we don't talk anymore because of a shitty misunderstanding. Fuck high school, I miss my friend. ;_;

Just try defining the line on her boob and it will look much better. Also if you want the hair to look better without changing much, just remove some volume from the side on our left.

>>2021679
Remove that shitty signature. Or I don't know, pick a different color and write it by hand. The drawing looks nice I've gotta say, I like the background colors.

>>2021679
The head is too forward facing for the sternocleidomastoid to slope into the ear like that and some of the lines seemed too thin/thick in some areas.

Other than that the rendering and colors look pretty, nice piece

>>2021688
>>2021700
oh shit thanks, that was just to upload to tumblr with. it wont be printed with a signature, shouldve taken it off

>>2021714
ah man i thought it looked weird there, i'll fix that, thanks

>>2021687
hm, i'll see if i can resize the hand without messing it up too bad

>>2021691
thanks man

>>2021698
Hope everything works out for you man.
It took me a while to let go of my female friends and ones I had chemistry with, I just had to live through it again in my mind and forgive myslef.

>>2021679
very nice

>>2021651
she looks black with white skin

>>2021796
I need a moment to process that picture

>>2021842
Interesting.
Do you like her skin tone right now or no?

>>2021843
lol i am new to painting , can you please explain your rection, whats bad or good with it , also i know the thumbnail looks kinda scary.

>>2021878
Not him but try simpler colors first until you get the hang of it. Also the boob on our right makes no sense considering the pose. The head shape is also wonky.

>>2021885
i agree i jumped to early to coloring and "rendering" i know i should work on fundamentals and shit like that , also got any more criticism ?

>>2021903
No, that's about it. The reason it looks weird is mainly the choice of colors. Certainly this style would work if an experienced artist tried it out but it's still risky.

>>2021913
allright , thanks also this is my tumblr just becouse http://danglythings.tumblr.com/

>>2021921
>this is my tumblr just becouse
That seemed more honest than the samefags that ask themselves for their tumblr at least.

tried to go for an embarrassed/bewildered expression.

>>2021878
Your colors are like ingesting mustard gas through my eyeballs. It physically hurts to look at.
Furthermore, the subject is incomprehensible.

>>2021935
>those lines so far
>hands
Im Jelly

>>2021935
Slight mistakes on the face but looking good m8

>>2021947
Really? Thanks so much.

>>2021952
Thanks, dude, I had a feelin'.
Anything in particular? I think it might be one of the eyes.

>>2021934

>>2021945

>>2021651
Her wrist has a tumor. There's a weird bulge on it.

>>2021651
>duck lips

Thoughts on the anatomy? I'm trying exaggerated angles and poses.

>>2022232
oh man that chin and face in general are terrible


you need some practice

>>2022232
Agreed, the head is way off, and the torso's structure needs improvement.
Legs look nice tho

>>2022255
>>2022260
Is this any better? I was actually referencing the face but now that I think about it, it might have actually been the wrong angle.

>>2022283
i think you drew the chin and the face in slightly different angles, looks good tho anon!!!

>>2022310
Thanks, I like the way you did it so I'm gonna try to replicate it, again, thank you!

>>2022283
Not the best red line ever, but hopefully it helps a bit

How ear

>>2022112
oh fuck, you're right. Thanks

>>2022204
Duck lips are literally my fetish.

>>2022384
The average height of an ear is from below the eyebrow to the bottom part of the nose, also it shouldn't be facing away that much.

sorry for reposting but last thread died with my pic
thoughts / critiques?

>>2022495
Shadows are kinda muddy, and the faces look flat.
I think you focused too much on the boob, because that is one fine looking boob.

>>2022518
I see, thanks for the critiques, I appreciate it.
I have one question about muddy shadow, what do you think I can do to fix it?
Sorry, I have no teacher to ask about this and /ic/ has been great place to ask for some help for improvement.

>>2022495
>featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry universe!

>>2022546
Don't shade with black and study color temperature.

>>2022558
Thanks! I had no idea that there was colour theory.
Sorry if I sound stupid, but I probably am.
Time to learn some new stuff.
Have a good one!

>>2022494
Which one shouldn't be facing away as much? The ear or the nose?

>>2022607
You've got comprehension skills so you're not stupid, we're all learning here.

>>2022609
The ear.

I'm using cel shading on an image I'm drawing and I'm trying to get a good handle on how to deal with a shiny metal surface while sticking to cel shading. For some reason, Google is failing me when it comes to finding any good examples I can work from. I got it to look properly silvery with soft shading, but then it looks out of place next to the rest of the image.

Working on a fantasy story revolving around this elf girl. Just getting the hang of the character.

>>2022310
>>2022373
I made a lot of changes (hopefully for the good) and also added the clothes. Thoughts?

>>2022624
post artwork faggot, then ask for ciriticism

>>2022654
a lot better.

>>2022698
Thanks, it would've looked terrible if it wasn't for all the help I got.

Still trying stuff out

>>2022821
I like were it's going

>>2022654
her right foot really bothers me, the top if it looks bulgy and unnatural

>>2022892
Looks fine to me

>>2022654
What I've noticed with your art, is that in like every drawing you draw the eye that's farther away wider open than the closer one.

>>2022654
not to say you have to, but I feel like the pose is already awkward enough without having her randomly looking off of the canvas. were you planning on adding something else for her to be focusing on? anyway, its just my two cents

Much thanks m8

silly squid

I have no idea what I'm doing.

>>2023196
Keep trying until you do.

>>2022892
It's a thing women get when they wear high heels.

>>2022923
It's a thing I learned from an anime eye tutorial a long time ago that I'm probably exaggerating, I'll try to fix it because it's supposed to be subtle.

>>2023030
She's supposed to be leaping... so the background would be the sky or something along those lines.
I honestly don't know where I was going with this, I like your pose a lot better.

>>2022624
look at pixel art of metals

If I'm making a concept for a character, what are some good angles or stances to use?

working on a crossover pic of my two favorite series of vidya

critique very welcome

>>2023472
Why are you drawing girl picking her nose?

>>2023769
you god fucking damn pig shiting dick hes clrealy touching her cheek.

>>2021651
Is there a reason you drew rosie o'donnell as rogue

>>2023787

>>2023787
No.
But now that you mention it, goddamnit.

Thats what I get for trying to build a 'style'

I'm trying to use acrylics, this is my fourth attempt. Any thoughts?

How about we talk about what we like to exaggerate when we draw.

When I draw females I favor longer necks and wider-than-average hips and thighs. I've never really gotten feedback on it tho. Whether it can be considered an actual stylization or if it just looks weird and off.

>>2024091
I like it, although long necks usually mean they're very thin but you definitely create an interesting and unique character design.

I'm more into making my characters very thin, very runway-model-y

>>2024091
The giraffe neck looks absolutely terrifying.

As for me, I don't usually exaggerate anything but if I do then I elongate legs or fingers.

>>2024091
Looks weird. And wrong.

>>2023866
really trashy strip-mall art

>>2024102

When did this whole two middle fingers stuck together while the other fingers are spread apart thing even start.

Its one of the top 10 most unnatural hand position to ever exist in my opinion lol

>>2024163
I think it's considered a very elegant and lady-like hand pose.
I don't know when it started exactly but you start seeing them a lot during the renaissance.

>>2024188
>"his fish was this big"

>>2024163
It's a rather predominant hand gesture in El Greco's paintings.

>>2024188
>keyframe_sad_mary_ka_meh_hame_ha.png

Still struggling with this

>>2023866
Nico Sucio, huh?
Nice seeing your stuff here

>>2024247
The anatomy is just off in general, I mean everything else looks fine but you should have fixed the anatomy while you could

>>2024255
I fixed her anatomy a couple of times.
It was even worse before. I just cant figure it out :/
Gotta do more studies before i do polished shit

>>2024257
I think it being a close up kinda screws with your perspective
you already have in mind you want to have her breasts showing and not have the top of her head cut off so you're kinda constricted with space

I think you should try to sketch a big portion of her body then resize it to how you want your picture.

I really like the coloring though, specially the skin

>>2024257
you've got issues with perspective. did you see >>2021345 from the previous thread? his redlines are helpful

>>2024266
Thank you! Yeah, i will def try that, im very unsure of the anatomy in general
Im glad you like the coloring :) thanks for your advice.

>>2024272
Holy shit, I don't know if >>2021345 isn't drawing things to scale but that arm is half it's natural length.

>>2024272
Yeah it was helpful, but i already had changed the pose to a more frontal looking one.
Big mistake :(

>>2022821
Last time I posted line work, I got called out for it being shit. Hopefully this is better? Been looking at how other artists use line weight for imaginary stuff. Tips?

>>2024247
If you're struggling, walk away for a few minutes. Relax, then come back to your painting.
>>2024255
Is right. There are anatomical issues, but studies will fix that.

How is this looking so far? I've decided that she's gonna be sitting on a giant-ass balloon surrounded by balloons so the pose doesn't look as dumb.

>>2024338
What stands out the most to me is that the lips look smeared/stretched horizontally

>>2024374
Does this look better?

>>2024395
Go reference an actual woman's (or man's, even) lips, please

>>2024278
I created the image. It is a mistake I was unable to see. Thank you for pointing it out, I still have much to improve myself.

>>2024280
If it was at least of some help I am glad.

>>2024398
I can and have drawn realistic lips, clearly that's not what I'm aiming for, assuming you're referring to the lack of tubercle and the exaggerated lower lip, these are all "muh style"
I would appreciate it if you were more specific though.

>>2022495
Other than your colors being a lil muddy like someone pointed out, I really like this! You've got a ton of potential.

>>2024338
Your shading and colors are really soft and nice, keep it up!

>>2024395
the bottom lip looks fucked up, regardless of style

>>2024428
Thanks!

>>2024429
Is this any better? If not can you be more specific?

>>2022627
Looks like she has a Han solo outfit on. She's kind of an uggo, but still nice stuff

>>2024452
Even though you may not want to show the vertices of where the shape of the lips change, try to have at least these many points, and try to keep them in alignment. Your entire outline is rounded, so the balance and form ends up wishy washy

>>2024460
Thanks, I understand why it looks odd, but I'm aiming for pic relate (though with more color to them), it's an odd manga/anime style I hated at first but it grew on me.

>>2024470
I still think the same principle applies to the style you're going for. the line weight for your mouth line seems arbitrary to the form of the mouth, while the reference you posted is synchronous with it, and the corners I added in this pic are out of alignment in yours.

Oh god help

>>2024479
Thanks, I hadn't noticed those lips had the same principle as well.
I'll work on it first thing tomorrow!

>>2024460
>have frank sinatra's "fly me to the moon" playing from my speaker
>open up thread this morning
>see this post

Good lord anon

>>2024163

Because it's easier to draw the hand that way.

>>2024460
>>2024479
Corrected the lips using your guidelines, is it better?
I think it looks a lot more true to the style I was aiming for, so thank you so much!

>>2024704
learn to draw a real face first
and also values
and perspective and so on

>>2024707
This anon has been saying for a while that they're aiming for a josei style, hence the weird proportions.

>>2023448
anything that shows the character's personality but doesn't obscure important details.

>>2024247
You should find a reference. It would help.

>>2024480
Her eyes are kinda wide, I don't think even in anime you typically see the entire iris. Other than that it looks pretty nice to me.

>>2024247
Hands seem really flat and the anatomy is pretty off

>>2023472
Aw shit, is that EO×MH?

>tfw cant into lineweight
everything terrible. despair

>>2024929
she's so moe

>>2024929
cute
i would simplify the hands a bit more though

>>2024931
Thanks pal.
>>2024933
I completely agree. I've been practicing hands lately, So I've been going a bit overboard with it.

>>2024938
you should keep the hands how they are

>>2024938
she has a working grill hands.

>>2024938
Yeah, I like the hands the way they are
Very natural looking

>>2024929
Her face looks like a granny, but the lineweight is fine.

>>2024712
So if I'm drawing a boxer, do you think I should draw him on the side of the ring or something?

>>2024707
that looks disgusting, sorry dude.

>>2025045
did you comprehend what anon said?

Well, I'm stumped. I can't for the life of me figure out the lower half, and I'm sure I fucked up on the torso. Any tips and or redlines? I'm going off imagination but if anyone has a reference similar to this pose I'd love it if you could post.

>>2025088
To an extent. If someone could elaborate on it though that'd be nice.

>>2025179
legs are way too long. thats why the pelvis is so high up and the legs are spread so far apart

>>2025180
Draw him in a pose that expresses the characters intent/personality.
Dont let the pose make it hard to see details/important features.

If youre going for straight clarity, draw a static boring pose.
idk how to explain this clearer

>>2025179
This is what I did, I'm no expert in anatomy by any means.

>>2025181
Assuming his back is arched I wouldn't say they're way too long but they are on the long side, but yeah, they were spread far apart.

>>2024929
That's actually not bad. You're on the right track kiddo

>>2024929
It looks very Miyazaki, I like it

>>2025186
Okay, I gotcha. Thank you!

I want to thank the anon that did a blueline a little while ago. I still feel I need to push values more but I'm really happy with the end result of this. Time for more studying.

It keeps happening. I like a sketch but when I go and color it I feel disappointed. Is it the colors? What am I doing wrong? ;_;

>>2025542
Go study color temperature, one rarely shades with the same hue used for the base color.

>>2025570
I did in fact, but I'm too afraid to go crazy with colors. If I want to practice it, how do you suggest I do it? Should I try different stuff on this pic for example, try it on new ones or pick a random lineart from someone else and try stuff on it until I get the hang of it?
What would you suggest to fix this one?

>>2025582
>but I'm too afraid to go crazy with colors
if i had a nickel for everytime someone fucking posted the answer to their problem in the same post. you know what you need to do

>>2025596
I'm aware of what I need to do but it looks like you didn't understand my question in the first place. Of course I know the colors are shit but I've seen this style work a lot of times. In my case it looks like it's the choice of colors and not the shading and color temperature.
At least that's how I feel like, correct me if I'm wrong.

>>2025607
>In my case it looks like it's the choice of colors and not the shading and color temperature.

dont ask for help if youre going to ignore advice

>but I'm too afraid to go crazy with colors
> If I want to practice it, how do you suggest I do it?
>that's how I feel

just stop posting and go experiment with colors.
>inb4 how to experiment
draw something with fucking wacky colors, find what looks good. google color theory, if you think that a color wouldnt look good, try it out because you havent been doing well so far because youre not leaving your comfort zone

>>2025608
>just stop posting and go experiment with colors.
O-Okay, off I go. Thanks.

>>2024704

At first I thought it looked like you went too far in the other direction with those hard highlights. Then I thought your color palette looked delicious.

>>2025615
So what you're saying is that I should tone down the highlights?
And yeah, I kinda went a little overboard with my shading/highlight palette, I had to tone down every color after having already placed it.

Also you made me realize I haven't had a doughnut in months.

Well I gave it a try ;_;7

cnc pls

>>2025631
the opposite, imo. push those values theyre super low contrast

sample

Did this for the Tower Girls thing and wanted to post it here too.

Thinking about adding some bones and stuff, but still not sure...

I tried to draw my car as a girl. Obviously needs work, so anything stand out? I'm looking for problems with anatomy or perspective, her not looking like my Corolla isn't something I'm focusing on at the moment.

>>2024827
Really? The legs aren't weird or anything? Thanks for the comment, anon, I'll fix her eyes.

feedback on this? i don't really like it but oh well

>>2025943

guys wtf my tablet is all jumping when i touch it I think it broke wtf. plz no plz no..

why do my lines seem dead as soon as i remove my sketches from underneath?

>>2026072
It's normal. The sketches act as tone or rendering.

Hell, try tracing over a person's face, then turning off the photo layer.

>>2026086
good to know that its not just be being a shitter

Try me.

>>2025854
She looks all hot and botherd.
Would give a poke/10

Thoughts? Finished the background, just have to tweak the colors a bit till it's finished.

>>2026313
are you the one who did futa katsumi on HF today ? you make same face as that guy.

finished this the other day, lineart is pretty half assed I'll admit, but I didn't wanna waste time over it when I wanted to focus on the colors. Which I'm pretty pleased with.

>>2026322
I'm not, I'd like to see what he's done though!

>>2026331
The poor quality of the linework really distracts and detracts the quality of the drawing.

>>2025902
I think a better way of phrasing it is this: shes got murder eyes. People generally don't open their eyes wide enough to see the upper whites of the eye unless they're seriously pissed/scared. Even when she's looking downwards like she is, her eyelids should droop into a slightly more relaxed position (but not sleepy eyed either!)

>>2025974
Sorry, I should have clarified. The sketch is still really early so I wanted to try and get the anatomy/perspective right before I worried too much about smaller details.

>>2024091
Reminds me of Dasom (the girl in the ponytail)
https://youtu.be/-LFIBPLhDMI

>>2024091

do
this.

>>2024091
exaggeration and stylization is cool and really people should utilize it more imo, But its tricky finding the balance between exhaggeration and proportional harmony. A character doesn't necessarily have to have perfect human proportions to be harmonious. CLAMP for example, they're well known for stretching their characters out, almost to the extreme, but because every limb is stretched out, it still looks okay (my opinion, and I'm not talking about anime, just manga). Unfortunately your character ends up looking a little bit frankenstein-y, because while your stylizations aren't by themselves bad, they're just not very cohesive as a whole. Which what I mean by a harmonious design.

As for me, atm I'm sticking to realistic human proportions, and until I get a better grasp of them I'm trying to avoid stylizing anything. But when I make chibis a like to use nice round, almost blobby shapes.

>>2025455
nice! As for pushing values, the only area I can see that is in real need for more depth is her face. it's really flat looking, or maybe spherical, but you could definitely add more depth to the corners of her eyes, her nose... just in general that whole area between her eyes needs more work. You might try using some cooler/blue tones on her skin to make it recede more when placed against her hair, etc.

>>2025225
they may just be blob shapes but they're compelling blob shapes! really interesting to look at. (and I love the teeth lol)

>>2025677

>>2025854
lovely, except the extra line in the elbow bit bothers me a lot, i dont think it should be there at all

>>2026072
what helps me is drawing the lines more laid-back like you do the sketch. dont worry about it and draw in quick, swift motions

>>2024707

>>2026546

>>2026546
Redline one of those retards drawings and show em who is boss.

>>2024707
Lol, you don't have a clue about anime, and no it doesn't mean drawing realistic faces first. The huge amount of realistic people you drew won't help you much for drawing anything in anime style. If you thought it does and did it for that reason, congratulation on wasting your time. For details, see Sketching Manga Style, Vol 1, Chapter 1.

>>2026546
What's that fugly fold on top of the eye?
That's not how eyes work.

>>2026313
Looked better before all the hilighting and shading. The balloons and bg are also just an unnecessary excuse. It looked good before with blue bg, not awkward at all, you could have just extended on that.

Don't let yourself get confused by the anons who think rote learning anatomy is the holy grail because of 'classic education'.

Not even asians do this
They worship western features if you haven't noticed

You done fucked up now nigger

>>2026750
you think you should see her clavicles through a sweater?

>>2026779
Yes

What do you guys think of Mark Crilley? His tuts worth watching?

>>2026831
my dick is worth watching

>>2026767
Cosmetic surgery in asia isn't to look western, it's to have a baby face because big eyes, tiny nose and puckered mouth are really eye-appealing features.

>>2026750
What do you mean by the shoulders not working like that? I'm curious to how they should be placed.
And the collarbone is there, the shading doesn't show it because it was just a concept for an OC, not an actual illustration.

tried to come up with a character...

>>2025901
neck is too wide

>>2026243
the secret is to have fun with the designing, that and abuse your tools as much as possible

>>2026879
steven universe oc?

>>2026313
I don't like the highlights in the hair or the balloon idea. I agree with >>2026581 that the blue background was better.

>>2026949
yeah
>>2026948
noise always makes everything look a little better

>>2026518
Could you elaborate on why exactly the legs look weird? I mean I know they do but I can't figure out why.

>>2026957
Should I keep the big balloon though? I realized a little too late that the pose was awkward af.
I'll try to fix the hair

>>2025944
thanks for the advice, i'll keep it in mind next time

>>2027018
If there's any balloon you should get rid of, it's the big one.

>>2026906
Thanks. Wide necks are something I always end up drawing and not noticing until it gets pointed out.

Is there anything else that looks wrong before I continue? At this point I'd like to start doing linework and color.

Is this any better? Does the pose look awkward?

>>2026598
surgically modified plastic whores =/= asian cuties

Can somebody rip this apart or suggest a solid direction for me to go in? I've been doing studies but everything I draw is still the same shit before they even started. At this point I don't know what to do. I hate everything but none of it's changing.

>>2027167
circle thing isnt a circle
arms are too short
hand doesnt look naturally placed on the circle thing

>>2027167
the colors and lines and subject matter are all just screaming deviant art

I tried fixing the legs again, I think this looks more natural but I'd like some cnc/redlines

>>2027177
Fuck, that obvious? Maybe that's why I hate it? I can't break free from this shit.

>>2027172
Thanks. So perspective I guess?

>>2027191
just keep doing studies and drawing from life
i eventually forgot about anime and felt bad whenever i attempted to see if i got better at it

>>2027133
I think it looks best like that. Even if the pose is awkward, that's how it is and unless you're willing to start all over again that's how it's gonna stay. The balloon idea only made it look even more noticeably awkward.

>>2027114
Hand seems a bit too narrow overall, fingers poorly defined. Forearm is too long, especially if you have the fingers doing the sign out toward the viewer. Shoulders are weirdly slumped, the shoulder should be going up with the arm doing the pose. Shoulders should also be a bit wider, aim for two head widths, although your head in general is a bit large/wide. No collarbones, no neck muscles, weird boob shape.

The little line poking into her hair from the right side of her face is bothering me.

>>2027133
Things looks better before or after they occur, I guess if she looked like she's falling it would be better. I don't know much, I hope this helps.

>>2027185
Spent a few minutes trying to get this pose in real life. The left leg should be bent a bit more at the knee imo if you're going to have the left foot face right, else make the left foot face forward so the leg can actually be almost straight.

Also, I don't think you can actually bend your shoulder enough so that your back peeks out from behind it. Unless you snap your collarbone and rip apart your shoulder muscles.

Not OP, but yeah that seems a lot better.

>>2027167
you could look at some manga drawing books

Not the how to draw manga series, but either "sketching manga style" and for the pictures "萌えキャラクターの描き方 顔・体編" and similar (or if your moon is good, just learn from them).

You can find tons of japanese manga howtos on http://g.e-hentai.org/tag/how+to (torrents) or yande.re (in pools). There are some book torrents about drawing on thepiratebay, too.

Don't be alarmed if most books don't work for you, a lot of them just suck.

Otherwise, get a book about how to use pencils and a book about composition to skim through (I only know "Composition: Line, Notan and Color - Arthur Wesley Dow", but it may not be for everyone.). These are the most basic universal books for doing art.

>>2027577
Sorry, english is not my first language, but I want to help ;.;

>>2027589
Really? Then your english is pretty good. I couldn't even tell English wasn't your first language because the rest of the grammar/word usage was correct.

>>2027133
Nah, doesn't.

>>2027133
You gave the face some awkward shading.

>>2027167
That eye just jumps out at me for starters. I just wanted to say your colors feel really bleh, I don't know man. Probably the blind leading the blind here but I mess with them a little.

>>2027167
that circle looks like a weird optical illusion

Suffering from acute insomnia /ic/. Tear me a new one so I can cry until I pass out and actually get some sleep pls.

>>2027799
Looks bad.
Study other cartoonists and how they draw eyes/faces to get a better sense of appeal.
Study proportions more. The thickness of the limbs are really off, the arms are way too thin for the body and the neck's position is awkward.

You'll get better though, keep studying and drawing.

>>2026562
Post your work

>>2027570
>fish-eye effect
stay away from forced dept, her left leg and arm just look smaller

>>2021679
Hair looks kinda flat. Redo that sig, seriously.

That aside it looks pretty neat.

>>2027709
but who made her clothes

>>2027709
IIIIIIIIKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

>>2027569
Is this better?

I was hoping to get some quick opinions on this new style I'm trying to work out.

It's more based on animation design using simple shapes and opposing curves/straights. I've come to find that I can get pretty cartoony with it but still add in the details and texture work you would see in reality for some nice effects.

I like it a lot, but an artist's eye can be pretty biased.

2/2
A bit more detailed stuff on the general flow from one anatomical bit to the other

>>2028083
You should finish dat kobold princess.

>>2027709
aww yiss

>>2028349
what is she carving for ?

>>2024091
Try to make both arms the same thickness and dont make the torso so long. drawing better boobs will also benefit you.

>>2028365
>What is she craving for?

>>2027133
the chin looks like its in 2 different places

I started these for the TG thread.
I'm trying to finish both.

>>2028052
Definitely. Now maybe look up mouths and see if you can fix her's.

>>2028365
>carving

I'll post here before I start coloring.
critique welcome

Before or After?
Left 2013, Right 2015

>>2028824
Honestly don't think you drew the one on the left. Left one is better.

>>2028824
Left is newer, isn't it?

I can see the colors are much better, not so saturated and more harmonic, also, the lines on the right aren't confident.

>>2028824
Left is far, far better. If you actually drew both and didn't mix them up, then it might be time to seriously evaluate what you've been doing these past two years.

>>2028837
>>2028838
Didnt draw either, just noticed it, I thought the head and legs were the only improvement, but the arms and face look like total shit

>>2028842
I thought weren't supposed to post work that doesn't belong to us. :/

>>2028837
>>2028838
>>2028840
>>2028842
And also I was wrong, left is new, he stated it "Right: 2013 Left: 2015" Who does that
>>2028848
Just wanted some opinions on a Style I liked

I did the sakimichan study/recreation thingy from that thread, not sure if it's still relevant to post here...

>>2028892
That's actually pretty cute. If you spent more time blending it you'd make it brah.

>>2028892
study?

am i sakimipron yet? :3

>>2028892
pretty neat dude

as the other anon said if you spent more time I think itd look similar to her work but as of right now I think she definitely has you beat

>>2028892
Her right arm is broken in two.

I'm getting my deviantart account up and running. Is this one drawing I made too try hard? How can I improve drawings in the future?

I need a good critique, but be gentle.

>>2029031
Needs neon background & bg lights
Needs lighter / stronger neon skin glow here and there on edges
Needs bigger eye pupils
Needs hair flowing everywhere
Needs sexier skintone
Needs more bewb showing
Needs sexier nose
Needs refined edges & oversmooth skin

Otherwise, I dont see no problem

>>2029130
She's rocking a pretty big fivehead, but aside from that its decent. Don't know why you're worring about being tryhard, who cares if you try hard?

>>2029131
i absolutly hate that cunt sakimi when i see her pictures i want to fucking choke her they all look the same what a shiity cunt.

Coloured a sketch i had in my SB

>>2029434
nice design

>>2029434
so avant-tumblr

>>2029434
Decent design for a character. But you should fix up the legs and feet. They're xboxhuge

>>2029130

I started these for the TG thread. I would like to finish at least one.

As always any feedback is more than welcome.

>>2029684
Finish both and get the practice fucker

>want to draw good pictures and get gud
>no motivation to touch realism
how do I deal with this

Welp, time to move onto clothes, I think I'm happy with the legs. Atleast I can say I learned alot from this.

>>2029879
Nice, i think legs is the thing i struggle with the most

>>2029873
Quick gesture drawings are always good fun and I found painting naked people entertaining too.

Or y'know, you could just tell yourself to suck it up and fucking do it.

>>2029879
Ah, you adjusted the foot. Looks a lot better now!

trying to flesh out muh characters

>>2028892
tried to make the arm look a bit better, and smoothed out some things

I'll stop posting this sakishit if there's no more issues

>>2029976
god I love your work and i was so ecstatic to find out you post here. keep it up

>>2030063
Her pectoral muscles are disconnected from her humerus and missing.

>>2029815
I will try anon. Thanks for the encouragememt.

>>2029873
This looks fine but... how are you with the lower part of the body?

>>2029684
Firez, the way I see it, it's just some perspective issues.
Lift the eye, push the mouth back a little, tilt here and there.
Dunno what to tell you man, what do you think?

>>2030188
I think Firez had the position of the mouth alright, but the other corrections you made on the face look miles better.

>>2029684
keep it up firez kun

>>2030188
Thank you!

It seems you pushed her mouth a bit too far like anon said but I get the jist of it. Thanks again.

>>2030229
Love the edit of the golem. Right one seems to have a bit too small skull. I think? However I will take in consideration everything else.

Thanks!

>>2030188
>lower body
I initially drew it but it didn't look so well
still practicin'

>>2029507
>SHE COULD'VE BEEN A MOTHER TO ME!
I don't get it.

please help, i tried to draw the face at an angle i haven't done before. No matter how i look at it and move things around i feel as if its always incorrect. Can i please get a red line.

>>2030776
It's flat, there's no contour (cheekbones/cheeks etc) Maybe move her left eye closer to the nose as well?

>>2030493
