What a piece of airbrushed shit.
Planes of the head and value faggot, nobody likes balloons with faces painted on top.

>>2050618
"Why didn't OP use mine?"- you

I can't figure out this hand/arm for the life of me.
I'm so frustrated right now.

Repetition makes perfect, yeah?

>>2050930
why does it look blurry? Work with a hard round brush.

>>2050931
Chromatic aberation brush on greyscale

>>2050935
lol. No.
>>2050931
Probably my eraser causing that.

Everything looks so boring, critique?

Can someone go hard as fuck and tell me where I fucked up? I wasn't going for a fully rendered piece, but the shit looks unfinished and really poor in the thumbnail.

WIP

critique welcome

>>2050606
The feet..............

>>2051229
Are you going to do it sort of like an illistration process or a painting process? As in, are you set on keeping those lines or are they rough guidelines to go by?

>>2051207
I just feel like the hair on the top of her head should curve down instead of up and also her right eye is a little too close but with more rendering this could come out very very beautiful

>>2051234
Thats a home work and we suppose to keep the line work.

I am going to finish it in a quick painting way , but still keeping some line work

>>2051092
I feel like it is just your colors. They seem understated. I have that problem many times because I watched tutorials of who I thought was good but was actually bad, so I forget sometimes. I will get better though and you will too :3

>>2051092
go kill yourself if you are trolling.

If not , please start with line art but not shape.
more loomis

>>2051284
Looks nice, glad to see you're still improving.

Remi's head looks too big though. Her face is fine, but it looks like her cranium extends too far back.

>>2051289
>Remi

Meant to say Flan, sorry, haven't slept a wink all night.

>>2051207
It's because you didn't do a proper structure.
You're not thinking in volume.
Google 'planes of the head'. Even for a non-realistically rendered picture you should always think in volume.

>>2051236
Don't listen to this guy about the rendering. He's prolly not doing it with bad intentions but that's how turd polishing happens.
Construction and thinking in volume is always before rendering.

Thanks for the advice last thread, I took it to heart.

continued further, finished up the kid, all i need now is a background. I have 2 ideas:

1. the kid just shot some giant boar or something in the ass with an arrow and it's chasing him, unbeknownst to the elf

2. change the kid's face to something cheerful, have them leaving a village together

>>2050764
Draw from life obviously

>>2051092
I agree that the colors lack interest but I'm not a professional.

>>2051229
Honestly I think your composition is pretty weak. I can't pin my finger on why exactly, I think it's the same-ness of the spires in the background, and the two spires on either side walling off the foreground. I would definitely cut them down entirely if you want a wide-open/epic feel.
Again not really sure why, pic related is an example of a piece that I think is similar in concept to yours but .. done much better.

>>2051229
>>2051402
Here's another example (not as strong, or as similar to yours, but I like it)

>>2051385
I actually really like both ideas, but the boar idea seems very cool

>>2051284
How fashionable

>>2051284
nigga thats fabulous

Is this considered bad? I know it's no masterpiece, and was done in 30 minutes, but my sister commented "it looks like it was done by a kindergardener, what is this?" so now I'm all self conscious. Is it THAT bad?

>>2051284
das cute, your linework is getting alot better too. Legs feel thin but that might be just me

>>2051681
It's bad, looks like you were just having some fun smearing paint on a board and sticking flower petals in random places. It's something a kindergartner can do. It's bad.

>>2051681
what is this meant to be? it looks like you got angry at your mum and threw her orchids on a tissue and sprayed blue paint on everything.

>>2051867

Not >>2051681 but can you explain WHY it's bad or is it a case of "I don't like it therefore it's shit"

>>2051681
All it is is pretty colors, there's no composition and no ideas that I can make sense of. Is the bedsheet part of it? What's the concept?

>>2051681

There's no sense of composition or planning involved. Even Pollock has a sense of composition that invoked this "organized chaos" feeling or other such new-age mumbo jumbo.

>>2051874
well I guess it's cuz it invokes no emotion, it shows no skill, and has an uninteresting composition.

>>2051893
>cuz
Take your retardedly spelled slang and leave.

>>2051874
He explained why it's bad in his initial post.

>>2051900
>can't take criticism
>"Better insult his vocabulary choices, that'll teach him to try and help me!"

>>2051092
right now it looks too clean and boring, i think you could add more diagonals to your compositions.

work in progress

YOU GUYS WANNA KNOW SOMETHING? it's okay if you hate my shitty ass painting. but you know what? despite the lack of technicalities that make it fit a specific norm or criteria, I felt incredibly inspired when making this. I woke up with the eyes of a child, life felt like it was being experienced for the first time and I let whatever happen to a plain piece of cardboard. so that shitty painting was a result of the happiness I felt, and if that doesn't get translated then that's fine.

>>2052043
Why did you even post it if you didn't want honest critique

>>2052043
>I woke up with the eyes of a child
Lol that explains the painting
But seriously, you asked if it's bad and no one even knows what it is.

>>2052043
>Is this considered bad? I know it's no masterpiece, and was done in 30 minutes, but my sister commented "it looks like it was done by a kindergardener, what is this?" so now I'm all self conscious. Is it THAT bad?

Your original comment says it all. No one really likes your painting but you do and you came here looking for someone to validate you and stroke your bruised ego. If your parents or grandparents are the type to say nice things about anything you make, you should show it to them. They will say what you want to hear. Or an into to painting teacher at your local community center.

>>2051885
Colors are nice, hands and feet look jacked. The foot is lacking that "wedge" shape, it's looking a little flat and floppy.

>>2052047
>>2052049
>>2052051
no I appreciate and understand the critique, I understand and have come to terms with the fact that it's objectively shitty, just sharing how I personally feel about the end result.

>>2052043
>that shitty painting was a result of the happiness I felt, and if that doesn't get translated then that's fine.

Art itself is translating a feeling you have into a given medium. If you only care about discharging your emotion then the next time you feel something say "I feel great" and don't try to make a picture about it unless you want to try to make something good.

>>2052074
I feel like this guy will turn into one of those "modern artists" lol gay

>>2051385
i thought big tits couldn shoot properly

This is my fifth drawing and the first time posting a drawing here, I encourage tons of feedback and advice and redlines on my drawing, i wanna know what i could have done better.

>>2052621
>fifth drawing
Draw more nigga
Hips need to go in more
Eyes are not level, study some ffrom shows
That boob gap lol
Shoulders too wide
Mouth too low
Nips need to be darker

With all that said.... Thats way better than my 5th drawing..... Waayyy better.....

>>2052621
>kuru toga
Stop using that.

>>2051681

You could actually become a secondary school art teacher with work this good. I'm not even kidding, with work of this "quality" that door is definitely open to you.

>>2052140
but they look nice :^)

WIP

I seem to be stuck in a comfortable spot. Any critiques for this?

>>2051385
that elven slut already spotted her prey, that poor boy is going to be forced under her and her cavernous vagina, he's not even old enough for his 1st beer

>>2053265
lol that scope, and the gun in general

>>2053265
The breasts and paw need a lot of help.

>>2051092
is that CIA in the middle?

This is what i have, I think i'm finished

This was weirdly useful to me, I've studied the planes of the head/face before but this is a cool demo of a simplified application.

>>2053905
Make the arrows more visible.
It took me a second to figure out where they were.
Maybe they're stuck in its head, or side or something.

>>2053993
forgot link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCA-4E6X1zg

great channel by the way

>>2053905
The kid seems to be doing a light jog while being mildly concerned, you might want to exaggerate more his run and his expression

>>2053993

I dont get the firs tone... Why does the lip make such a huge freaking shadow?

any critics b4 rendering?

>>2051996
I liked it with the water

THIS IS PAPERFAG YOU GUYS

>>2054564
lel you're making a fool out of yourself. No matter what you say I win in my favor.

LOL Paperfag confirmed. Mods are trying to cover it up LUUUULULZ

>>2054580
So who are you exactly and why won't you show work?

>>2054564
>being this avoidant
But I really wanted to see those disfigured anime grillz...

What's going on in this thread?

>troll gets doxed
>turns out to be 100X better than the weebs
>weebs act like that's not the guy

Just another tuesday on /ic/

>>2054594
>being a weeb
This is the fate they chose.

>>2054564

Is it really? I mean it isn't hard to browse through random deviant art accounts until you find someone with mostly traditional art pieces, post one of his drawings with a renamed file, and hope someone reverse image searches the file.

It's just like merc_wip.jpg only it isn't obvious and overplayed bait.

>>2054684
This is the troll. I just know it.

tomorrow I'll try to contrast light values a bit more just with color, then I can always go back and edit general values

>>2054694

Since you posted your deviantart (and for whatever reason calling yourself a troll) I will post mine. So how bout them gestures, paperfag?

lmao you post my study from way back in 2010. Just admit you suck worse than I do.

Shine my shoes bro, shine em.

Holy fuck

>>2054753
neto, stop lying. you haven't improve since

>>2054769

It's fine, I'm a hobbyist. Unlike you who labeled your DA as
>professional
I don't have side dishes for this...

>>2054694

Any asshole can say "hurr durr stop makin fun of me guyz". In fact that adds to the credibility of his post.

I have my PhD in Internet Trolling trust me on this guys.

>>2054782
what are you trying to say?

>>2054214

It doesn't matter how big something is, the size of the shadow is determined by whats behind it.

Sounds like a T-shirt I know but it's true.

>>2054786
He's saying paperfag sucks donkey cock and should hit the road.

I don't even want to see you in the hangouts anymore.

>>2054786

The master scheme is this:

> Post random image from deviantart to bait people
> Everyone's reply will be "You're fucking shit"
> Respond with assblasted "quit making fun of me" type remarks
> Some poor sap's deviantart account will get flooded with bullshit

>>2054794
Just kidding...you're more than welcome to make a hangout and we'll draw together.

>>2054775
I'm a paid illustrator, I have side gig drawing caricatures on the Causeway. What do you do?

Freehand doodle of Sandor Clegane I did while playing with my G-pen.

ugh super cute

>>2053265
See pic, everything else looks ok i guess

>>2052639
Not him, but just curious as to why?

>>2055024
what kind of redline is that. her entire body is slouching and you straighten her up?

I really like Aaron Diaz's style, anobody can track his influences? I want to make studies out of them and not study Diaz directly.

>>2054214
It's Hitler

>>2055075
yeah - I dont get it.

>>2055076
non sense

>>2054973

HBO version from today's doodles.

>>2054700
I'm starting to really hate those stupid meaningless "look-how-cute-i-am-uguu" poses. The face isn't even that charming for this to work and those toothpick fingers...

What could I do to 'fix' the fat kobold's face? He's supposed to have a d&d black dragon head but... he's also supposed t be pudgy.

>>2056384
You have not improved

>>2056387

>>2056384
holy shit i remember you.

tried painting over greyscale, feels so desaturated.

>>2051996
Don't make highlights with pure white, make them the same neon pink color like that dots int he bottom.
Also white lights and black darks will make colors look amatourish and bland. remember that there can be warm light and cold shadows, or vice versa, it also varies more in colors.

>>2052621
it's just flat. Educate yourself more about drawing forms in 3D.

>>2056481
what have you done with her fucking mouth she looks likea retarded golumm. why do you always have to make all your girls with shit eating grin i so fucking hate that

>>2056481
There is variety in color. There should be more gradiation between lights and shadows. Color can be warm or cold.

>>2050577
posting

>>2056496
I don't though, it just one character, calm down.

>>2056505
Still trying to figure out color temperture, feels elusive.

>>2056573
Those lips man, wtf sundry? Also, stop shading with all one hue. you should know this by now.

>>2056598
sure

I only have an Instagram where I upload my poor attempt of drawing.

>>2056624
Aaaaand forgot link

>>2056626
(On top of that I wanted to post this in the Self Promo Thread, but i got fucked with the tabs... forgive me, Im tired today)

>>2056481
your work always looks so beat up, as if your painting on cardboard with dirty brushes. it's really quite an achievement, i never thought that was possible with digital.

>>2056631
post your work

>>2053905
Shot in the dark cause i like the idea here but maybe imply more background to the foreground? Really express that kids urgency to get the fuck out of there. Really like it though.

>>2056624
be advised

>>2053905
the upskirt is forced and u sseem like a pervert

>>2056213
thanks, I'm not used to draw moe-alike, I know gesture is kinda "cheap", what do you find wrong with the face dear annon?

>>2056535
I really like this. The only suggestion I have is to change the hair. It reminds me of the homosexual evil man in the pink suit who is mean in farcry 4 (his haircut is stupid)

>>2056535
The ear is fucked up, and so is the face, try to redraw it from scrach, use reference. Rest is passable

Eh sorry guys, not really been in the mood lately. Stuck in a bad loop binge watching tv.

>>2051402
>Draw from life obviously
Thank you for responding but I believe people should be able to construct things without a reference when necessary, and they should test that ability whenever possible.

>>2050764
you can do that, it seems anatomically correct, but it seems unreasonable for her to stretch her hands.
after workout though its a good idea to stretch.

>>2056656
Thanks for the advice. I did both things. I also fixed her pelvis a little.

>>2056653
Thanks, I don't know who that is, but I revised her hair a little and added some stray strands.

My god I can't shade hair worth shit.

>>2057189
chins are not that pointy!

also hands

also legs

you should try to avoid coloring pictures you know are shit because it's going to have a negative psychological effect on you in the long run

>>2056481

learn how to draw mouths and teeth for starters

>>2057194
>you should try to avoid coloring pictures you know are shit because it's going to have a negative psychological effect on you in the long run

>negative psychological effect

how?

Not sure if you haven't noticed, but almost all successful illustrators started with trying their best finishing pieces by adding value and color on top of their drawings, even though it looked like shit, they encountered far more problems they had to solve that way, hence learning better.

I think getting into the habit of finishing pieces is a good idea, that way you are training yourself to commit to your paintings, also it's much easier to spot mistakes and learn from them when you've spent a lot of time on a painting, instead of just looking at a sketch and be like "oh well the proportions is off, no big deal"

>>2057289
>what is turd polishing

>>2057289
I was trying the same thing as you for a few months, but I decided id rather start sketching and working on bodies and shit harder. I feel like coloring is easier to learn than getting the hard lines and perspective and anatomy down, so i saw painting as a waste of time in the end until i was genuinely satisfied with sketches etc.

All that said, I had to realize that on my own and ever since I started four months ago ive made horrible mistakes and shitposted and had to learn the hard way why artists dont do X and why Z is the correct thing. I try to take advice but as a person i must realize on my own, perhaps youre the same?

Im not playing you down or insulting your method of learning, you do what works to learn. Im just mentioning this to you because its what I myself was doing, and because I couldnt color at all and I cant draw well everything looked doubley bad to me.
>>2054491
This character is who im trying to draw and I fucked up the head and I dont know what to do i need help. is it my body's perspective or something, do i just have to angle the head differently? i dont get it and ive tried a few things, can anyone help me?

>>2057316
no

>>2057349
post your work

>>2057316

Honestly at this point I'd work on a new drawing if I were you.

Also study lips, that looks like she has a bad food allergy.

>>2057358
I am actually, I just wanted to address some of the critiques before I moved on. Thanks.

>>2057316
from bad to worse

>>2057316
I'd like to see you try to do illustration instead of paintings. I wanna see your linework and such

>>2057395
post your work

>>2057400
Not really confident in my lineart, Maybe I should try it though?

>>2057413
Yes i think it would be cool to see.

>>2057413

>>2057428
well memed, your ruse was perfect.

I spent way too much time on this but if I fucked up something bad I'll try to fix it.

>>2057507
or like this

>>2055076
try Tumblr

>>2057297
turd polishing is better than sitting with 100 sketches that go nowhere.

at least you get an insight to composition, value, form, and just about everything when doing finished pieces.

Do studies after a finished piece of the things that went bad, then try again.

>>2057507
I have no idea what the hell is going on with that knee/leg musculature. It looks like the kneecap slipped off and slid down a few inches. An then the curve of her calf suggests the leg is turned to our right but the knee looks like it's trying to face forward and that flat flipper foot is also facing us. Flipper feet are best avoided by showing form and structure, especially around the toe area. Take a look at some references of boots. It's just such a weird leg.

Also not to crazy with the composition and how you've chopped her off at the ankle, would've looked better with her and her cape in frame I think.

There's also a lot of inconsistent lighting going on which is really confusing. The boot is lit strongly on the left but suddenly the calf is in shadow? etc.

The pose overall I find a little stiff and awkward. I would spend some time with gesture drawings to help get a better feel for rhythm.

>>2057583
I wouldn't have the line weight of the bannister be the same as the figure standing in front of it. Also the bottom of the cup is aligned way too well with the line on those pillars, its weird for the eye.

>>2057189
Spider fingers bro, I would give them a little more structure and bulk.

What's going on with her hair at the top of her head? Is it like... a hair hat? A very long and rectangular bun? Lilac headcrab?

>>2057316
Try some reference for those lips. They're looking a little wormy and lacking lip-shapes.

>>2057655
I mean I'm not sure what expression you're going for with the mouth. You really need to show a bit more of that cupid's dip and include more gradation of width, letting the lips get narrower as they get closer to the edge .

>>2053905
I'm fucking dying, saved.

>>2057583

You really captured how much of a rotten cunt she is with that stupid face of hers. Well done.

>>2057664
Any advice would be appreciated.

>>2057583
This is lovely.

thoughts on this comicbook-ish style

>>2057641

You don't need yo polish turds to study those things. Hell you're better off doing it with quick and dirty sketches simply because you can get more practice. Once you gain an understanding youll start making better finished pieces

?

>>2057703

Symbols all over the place.

>>2057507
Fuck you, you piece of shit.

This is garbage and you should literally commit suicide.

>>2057316

those teeth

no dude

no

Started this ages ago, reached a stopping point and have up. I never know what color style to aim for.

>>2057747
quit bashing his work. dentures are sexy

My original file is lost so all I have is this low resolution copy I pulled from my facebook page.

Shout-out to everyone on here. I'm not dedicating to drawing professionally. I do it as a side hobby (and I know a lot of you guys do too), and I've always been inspired from your work.

The tips, references, and free tutorial sites you all post have been great. I haven't had ample time to practice (as I said, I do this on the side), but I appreciate it.

Y'all rock.

CM half-arcana, not sure where/if i should include the dog or not

>>2057316

You got to study teeth my man. Either through life to stylize them yourself or look at how others handle them. The teeth are definitely the most glaring issue.

Is this okay so far? I know the hands need work and the lighting, but can anyone help suggest what to improve on?

the lines at the bottom will be hands reaching out/grabbing for him

>>2058148
?

>>2058148
I think he means it's edgy. Honestly I find this "it's shit fuck off" answers lately to be retarded. Either give critique or don't reply at all.

It definitely needs more work on the hands and whatnot but I'd also work more on the face. Thin it out a bit and work on the mouth a lot to make the edges more visible. See >>2057316, you don't want it to look like that.

learn to draw lmaoo xD

lately i've been thinking that drawing with a blank state of mind makes it easier to come up with ideas and focus on the details.

>>2058213
That's pretty fucking good yo, even with the quadruple extremities hide.

>>2058219
Opposite for me, However I found that drawing just to put something on paper and then fixing it afterwards by hardlining/erasing as I go produces a better end result.

>>2058225
this makes me wonder if i should rely on underdrawings more.

>>2058157
Alright I get it, teeth are messed up, I've already made shit since.

>>2058099
Love the style. I think the details on her arm looks great as well as some of the geometric accuracy. But did you intend to put the big crystal on her head to the left a little? The fur looks great and I should probably do something like that with my paintings too. But the furs above her head, her wrist and around her staff look like they are affected by the wind but the general directions of the furs on her cloth are not consistent. Unless it's a strong wind, don't make them all perfectly consistent though. But this way, it's difficult to feel natural about her movement or her environment to me. Other than that, everything looks good. Especially the colors.

>>2057314

:D

gl, don't aim for outlines from scratches, try to draw basic volumes first, head is fine but as gesture it's so frontal, at least make it even less vertical. U got the hair more or less, I would suggest you, for leraning, to stop avoiding full mental drawing, take refrences, at least do a small copy of a real pose, even in other perspective of a girl sitting so you finally understand how that forms work

>>2058436
and then draw it without reference, first u gotta study the same thing you're going to represent from imagination

anyone have a clue about why the fuck I cant install extension on my Ps cs5 extended?

I got 2 cromatic plugings added correctly but these does not appear on extensions even after trying to locate/activate plugins

yup i'm that fucking belated at digital media

Being honest, I am new to this whole thing. My style is not of anime, but I want to integrate the simplicity anime brings in.
Critique?

>>2052621
I think it is really good

>>2058439
I think you have a great idea of what you want it to look like, but to bring more life to your drawings, you need to think more about drawing geometric shapes. If you haven't already, go through some of loomiss books. The reason so many people rudely tell people they need loomis is becayse it is true, his books helped me and several others very much. It is also good to practice drawing girls in real life every once in a while. It will help you a lot to draw in your own style

>>2058439
Literally read the fucking sticky

>>2057642
thank you, I'll take these point into consideration while working on next pic

>>2058392
Thanks anon, I tried addressing the issues you mentioned, is this any better than before?

>>2058620
Wow, that looks like shit. Your anime style was way better

but i didn't even change the style from what it was before!

I think all the time on /ic/ finally paid off.

>>2058620
this is pretty good but theres one part of the face that annoys me, above her left eye her eyelid looks kinda fucked up

>>2058620
still too much symbol drawing. there are a lot of flat areas. try to give things more form, like the dress and the ponytail and hood etc. look up references if you need ideas.

>>2058671
blog/DA?

i'm going to eat you ham

Anybody has some good tutorial or place to learn about cartoon drawings? I've been trying out and it seems that I am still struggling with changing the old habits. I think I can benefit from this style. But my drawings look either too uncanny, too held back or badly exaggerated.
I found hands and arms, but nothing else. http://bryoncaldwell.blogspot.de/2008/04/hand-poses-galore.html
From face to feet to animals, anything would be appreciated. Thanks.

Critique?

>>2059140
What should I work on?

>>2059263
well it's sideways and a bit too big.

assuming it's a really small drawing irl the lines n' stuff are okay. but you can see it's very hairy when on the screen. if it's a big drawing it's way too messy.

there are some anatomy things, his neck is too long his head is too small etc.

so i think it's a good effort.

it's nice to get back to lines after multiple attempts at painting

>>2059114
Your style is too cute

photoshop blasted the psd and made it really difficult to finish this, oh well.

>>2059269

noted m8 I should work on making my lines cleaner then, and the anatomy things.

>>2057711
Their symbols are correct, tho.

>>2059352

>>2059274
I always love your work, rinfag

>>2059274
the deco on the head isn't symetric. it's also flat. focus on the form and don't half these kind of things.

Didn't see a porn thread...

th-thoughts?

Everything I've been doing is starting to coalesce.

It's not anything recent, I think it's 2 weeks old(?), but cnc is still neat. I have trouble escaping my comfort zone of the upper body, When it comes to lower body/pelvis my brain fucking drops. Any tips?

>>2059723
>I have trouble escaping my comfort zone of the upper body, When it comes to lower body/pelvis my brain fucking drops.
how about you draw more instead of showing us 2 weeks old half assed sketches?

you won't just "figure it out" one day if that's your pace. work harder for it.

>>2059723

Don't deal with them separately, draw them as one. That will force you to use the simplifications first. You can't go through body parts and then call it done; you have to go from overall to details.

I'll give this a shot.

I've been using the reference materiel that I find on here every time I draw. I'm very much an amateur but I want you guys to know that I greatly appreciate all the material you put out on here.

It inspires me to keep working.

Anyhow, this was to be my final but if given solid advice I'll change a few things.

Thanks in advance!

That ankle is pretty fucked

that was an obvious troll

your work looks decent keep it up

if its your "own style" then there is nothing to change. If not, then i would ask you to read the sticky.

I don't like the mountain in the second one (assuming it's a mountain?) but I dig the style and brushstrokes.

Some stylization practice.

>>2061171
I have no criticism to give, but I just wanted to mentiom that I think the bottom one is fantastic

>>2061171
Speaking of stylization practice, how exactly do you practice stylization? What process do you have to go to to get to a decent level of stylization. I know that decent isn't a correct term to describe this since the whole objective/subjective shit comes up but I'm sure I got my point across.

>>2061188

Well, how you stylize depends on what your style is like. Everybody stylizes differently because they choose to exaggerate or emphasize different things according to their style. When I work with a reference, I try to exaggerate as much as I can, while still retaining the original look of whatever I'm referencing, and also work towards my own personal style. I also find that looking at how other artists draw caricatures helps a lot too. I used to be really bad at using references, years ago, but now I think I've reached a point where I can draw someone that's recognizable, and looks like it was drawn by me.

>>2061171
sucks you didn't include that sadhu's dreads.

>>2061171
I like the results, though they don't look like the source pictures.

>>2061171
bearly stylized.

>>2061171
neat

>>2061360
anon pls

not really sure where to ask this, but figured this thread would be the best choice.
do any of you happen to know if hitomaru has a different name for non pornographic stuff? I actually really like his style for some reason or another but his main chunk of work seems to be loli tentacle rape, which as fun as that is, isn't something I want to keep pictures of.

>>2061188

Learn design fundamentals. Shit like shapes, color, knowing what combinations appeal to people.

If you need a basic exercise try making caricatures.

>>2061611
do you have a blog or something? I see you muscular lolis here all the time.

Just study any of sakimichan's work (^:
Actually now that i think of it, it might actually help you since she draws everything as if it's drenched in oil

any advice with this?

>>2062248
I really wish she was sitting on the hand, or at least some part of it. It would look really cool.

How would you guys rank Proko in terms of his skill?

I honestly learned so much from that guy.

>>2052043
>I woke up with the eyes of a child

The perspective or the orientation of the head bothers me a bit, everything else seems good though

>>2061870

uhhh
im bored so give me some ideas

>>2062451
Muscular lolis

>>2062457
>Muscular lolis
hahaha

>>2062534
Draw her hair and clothes and maybe doing something besides just standing

>>2062248
I'd agree with >>2062250
technically the way she is is possible, but its pointlessly straining her muscles when it looks like she should be relaxing. It looks like she's sitting on a chair with her right foot on the floor, since she's hanging from the air her body would want to droop more and hte skirt wouldn't be held so close to her ass.
don't forget that gravity is a thing.

>>2062534
>can't spend more than 5 minutes on a drawing
>hands are just abstract lines
>thinks he's better than everyone
Pathetic.

>>2061611
Show us how you construct a head. That way we may help you.

>>2061611
values are bad, lighting is inconsistent

>>2061611
You're my inspo rin fag

>>2062678
really roughly here. i've identified some of the main problems in which i -seriously- tend to just deviate towards a moe face even though i establish everything properly and it's something i need to learn to drop.

>>2062679
thanks for the feedback... i'll try to look into it, although im not sure which parts i should fix. i'm looking at the lighting on the legs and hair...

>>2062683
thx

>>2061276
I don't understand why people keep saying this? If you're just using something as a reference, why does it matter if it looks like it or not as long as it looks human, They're just supposed to resemble the original pictures - you're not supposed to just copy unless you're learning. Just copying something isn't creative.

No idea what I'm doing but it took over an hour.

>>2062717

/ic/ has a tendency to miss the point behind something.

A good figure study should be like a cover song. You should hear it and know what the source song is while putting your own spin on things, whether it's a little spin or a huge spin.

>>2062785
The guy was obviously using the refs for stylization practice, not your narrow-minded idea of a "figure study."

>>2062677
hes good and you should go back to choking dicks as you usualy do.

woulda done more but my tablet decided to get fucked and now it lags but only when erasing??????? like not when drawing. gunna restart and get some grub and hope that fixes the problem.

>>2062717
I'm not saying to copy them, I'm saying the drawings don't really feel like the people he's basing them off. If it's just to make new characters, fine, but if it's meant to BE those people, it's a bit off.

>>2062955
Isn't that the point of alternate styles though?

>>2062879
What tablet

>>2062974
a wacom bamboo cth-460. eraser doesnt seem to be lagging in any other program, and googling has done little to help.

>>2062980
Make sure your drivers are up to date. Try uninstalling them and reinstalling. That happens to me sometimes on my cth661
