/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Guys I got a "mention" on a tumblr. Someone made a post with just "hi there". Whats up with that, is it correct to reblog it or something? I cant into social media shit Im too autistic.

>>2138681
Did you follow them anon? Some people do that for new followers

>>2138775
no I didnt. Ye you might be right.

just getting an idea down

>>2138845
you just cant stop drawing them like they are 100% psychos everytime.

>>2138845
i like your output speed.

>>2138856
You know nothing of my work

>>2138858
It feels easier to draw lately

>>2138860
i know enought.

>>2138861
why aren't you drawing?

>>2138865
i dont like you.

>>2138845
you should study anatomy first. jumping into stylization without a good grasp of anatomy, perspective, composition, etc, will only result in a mess. I suggest you start with the basics and go to the beginners thread. people are awesome there.

>>2138875
lel you are full of shit i dont like him but hes not that bad.

Beside pic related what are other good books about learning manga?

I don't actually like manga, I just want to pick up the style to attract more people and get comissions.

I clarified the hands and arms somewhat.

>>2138883
Seriously, I've done nothing to you. I posted once and you insulted my work.

>>2138892
he's got sand in his vagina, keep it up dude.

>>2138860
>you know nothing of my work
slow down caravaggio

>>2138896
Annie Hall ref

i need to get better!

>>2138892
do you have a blog/tumblr or something?

>>2138892
hmm. the anatomy is solid but something about the hammer looks off in perspective, like the handle doesn't fit where it should.

>>2138883
>>2138875
he literally hasn't improved since 2 years ago

>>2138884
loomis books are the best way to start to learn anime

>>2138922
I already have a good domain of figure drawing and what not. I feel like I can start to get into stylization now.

>>2138930
post art

>>2138906

Would put money on him having done more work and improvement to show for it than you'll ever have dude

>>2138932
I only have fetish doodles.
Diaper fetish doodles.

leepictroll-chan.deviantart.com

What is stylized art?

>>2138905
I think you're right

I don't want this to turn into a Firez situation where I can't even post, so I'll go back to lurking.

doodling

>>2139066
thats a full render, not a doodle, kek

>>2138970
>firez situation

what?

>>2139066
nice stuff. im digging the colors and that brush texture

>>2139077
Its a doodle if it takes less than an hour for me, anon.

>>2139066
>>2138892
tumblrs/websites?

zero...
Its really that bad?
I can't see whats so terrible about it,
could someone point out whats wrong from their point of view?

>>2139130
>zero

What's that supposed to mean exactly, zero views? Stop worrying about trivial matters like that the sooner you stop caring the better.

>>2139131
my mistake,
zero = views & notes

Guess I'm worrying way to much and caring less about what I "want" to make.

>>2139130

That thing on the right looks like a penis.

>>2139130
>>2139140
>zero views and notes
So you assess that a picture that has zero views must be bad? Wouldn't that just mean that literally nobody has seen it? That sounds like more of a reflection on your ability to promote and the size of your existing fanbase than anything else.

>zero notes
And that should be expected if there are zero views to begin with.

>>2139130
why do your penises have legs?

>>2139148
its an item in axiom verge called a drone.

changed it a bit, does it still look like a penis?

>>2139130
>>2139140
if you're that sad about the zero views put it on some deviant art groups or something and remember to suck everyone's dick.

>>2139140

Join unmotivated losers on DA.

>>2139166
It's very confusing, but I have no idea about this creature. The pic confused me because he looks like he is holding something like a croissant and I can't even tell whether this is connected to that piece in the back. I keep thinking of those cookies with red jelly in the center. My overall impression: confused

>>2139174
>>2139159
>So you assess that a picture that has zero views must be bad?

I just thought there might of been problems with the way I drew the art piece. I didn't mean to write "no views = bad"
It's just my own problem of worrying way more than I should

>>2139182

Yeah, you might want to put that thing closer to his feet.

>>2139186
no views means no one cares enough to look at it.
put a random photograph as a background. the dull colors also make it look boring in the thumbnail so people are less likely to open it up.

>>2139190
thanks for the input.

iunno, lots of problems i know, thoughts.

>>2139182
>>2139189
thanks again.

I don't know why I decided to move his right leg at the last minute. How is he still standing? Why does his arm look like a chicken bone? Why am I drawing this shit when I should be working on my basics? These are the questions of life people.

>>2138957
It doesn't matter POST

>>2138904
Armpits doesn't do that when you lift your arms. Study anatomy

>>2138884

If you don't like the style don't draw it, you make me sick

>>2138884
Your better off learning how to draw properly and forming your own stylisations than using books to help you simplify. Then again, if you don't hold an interest in the medium, I doubt you'll succeed.

Still Dredd'ing it up.

>>2139391
>>2139407
I'm on this for the money
I know it sells better.

>>2139490
Never going to make it. Just quit now.

>>2139441
kek

nice

>>2139490
look up a bunch of porn artist artist choose the ones you enjoy the most, understand what they do to make their artworks appealing, copy it then change it to make it your own.

Congrajulas a style is u.

I haven't done anything like this since high school. Not sure fanart is okay here this is the only thread that made sense. Mostly doing this to practice tablet lineart and coloring. Did my flats and see a lot of lines that could be better and the face could be more expressive.

didn't know where else to post this. I've never posted any of my trash on ic before be gentle ;_;

>>2139836
god damn thats some scarry shit

>>2139810
where is the light source?

>>2139836
This is what this board needs
Post more dammit

>>2139836
Aw he looks so happy. Great detail with the facial muscles

>>2139844
>>2139841
gee thanks :)

here's another

>>2139839
what the hell.
this doesn't look remotely like the girl in in the original anymore. shading looks way better though

>>2139836
>>2139849
that's pretty damn cool.

>>2139832
those liveless eyes give me the creeps

>>2139863
Better-ish?

>>2139882
no

>>2139882

>>2140020
Yeah...

I'm still trying to get used to everything at the same time. I guess Is should work on better lineart before attempting coloring.

heres this

>>2140052
i thought the signature at the bottom said ben garrison

What proportions should I give to a tall woman between 180-190 cm ? Long legs ? With the body being curvy as well. But not too puch either since she's a fighter.

>>2140052
wish you would learn instead of covering everyhting with "muh style" hatching. like, its been a long time man

>>2139839
>>2139810
The thumbnail kinda looks like Elaine.

>>2140111
meh. it's digital. as long as i can convey an idea i don't really care.

>>2140125
>it's digital

How is that even related to what this anon said.

>>2140128
he said "wish you would learn". learn digital? it's digital. it's not worth learning really. Hard round brush is fine and hatching looks okay.

Trying out a mixture of MS and PS.

>>2140134
You're a bit retarded aren't you ?

>>2140161
this threads a tad retarded int it... think i'll stick to the draw threads.

>>2140163
don't expect to get taken any more seriously if that's how you view digital art.

>>2140134
> it's digital. it's not worth learning really

I feel like there was a miscommunication here.
Did you mean that digital art is worthless?
Or that if you have sufficient traditional skills, digital art does not require any additional learning?

>>2140171
i'd rather just let my digital work be what it is than slave over it and learn the techniques behind it. like i could spend all my time learning to photobash but i'd rather just spend that time working on traditional stuff. I don't have ideas often enough to warrant learning absolute efficiency in digital.

and digital is kind of worthless for me. I want to make a living doing traditional work and putting out digital for free. If the digital stuff is gonna look static and average I'd like the ideas behind them to be awesome.

>>2140134
With this attitude, it's no wonder you're such shit.

Just did this as a /v/ request; tear it apart.

Also, anyone know where to put the highlight on the boobs?

trying to do some princess designs. like tetra from wind waker but forest style

study
wip
just need to clean it up a bit

>>2140262
very nice, maybe tone down the textured brushes a tad. really like that background strip though

>>2140191
>Also, anyone know where to put the highlight on the boobs?
Are you retarded? You already chose a light source so highlights result logically. Yes, even in such magnificient things as boobs.

>>2140202
would like to see more of your work, got any tumblr?

>>2140262
Saw the study in the thread before, those brushes have a very oldschool-ish air about them i like it

>>2140026
not really, you should work on understanding anatomy and facial expressions first

>>2140202
rendering in progress

>>2140319
sure, paradoxjelli.tumblr.com

>>2140329
thanks! looks pretty damn neat so far

PLS R8

>>2140329
time for bed

>>2140418
These look like shit
stop making them

>>2140369
The art is bad and the writing's worse.

>>2140369
Any kid that had the misfortune of being named Dorian should be happy to die

>>2140134
Pretty sure he meant you should learn in general. Your traditional work looks just as bad and you are doing the exact same thing there, trying to hide your lack of skill by "bad on purpose" anatomy and ugly hatching.

You are that guy who posts those ugly, disfigured life drawings from time to time in the draw thread, right?

>>2140463
The same goes for chamberlain

>>2140420
is there something wrong with your head?

>>2140369
Almost every bubble has some grammatical issue. If your whole comic is like this, that is a big problem. Get someone to proofread it for you or better yet, brush up on your English skills.

Quick lil' sketch

>>2140480
They won't know what or who you are talking about, but had a nice giggle.

>>2140486
to be honest, i don't really like them either
wouldnt say they 'look like shit' but
the costumes are nice and i like the idea but the execution looks like its lacking fundamental knowledge. the 'style' looks more like a veil for bad anatomy and the stylized anatomy is lacking in rhythm. it feels like it was just sort of copied from another artist on tumblr or something.

also the shadow shapes and contrast are very unconfident and wishywashy. again, the low-contrast, soft-edged 'style' feels like a veil for lack of fundamental understanding of lighting.
everything really just looks flat, but then some parts look like they're trying to be dimensional. it's kinda inconsistent
hope that makes sense
i think the artist has a good intuition, they just need to improve on their fundamentals a bit and this could be a cool style/project

>>2140556
oh, and the markmaking/texture is really blotchy. styles like this can work with good markmaking but this doesnt particularly excel at it.

Well in a couple of weeks when I'll look at this piece my eyes will bleed out. Fear not though, for today is not that day.

>>2140172
the problem you don't even know how to draw traditional by how it looks

the problems you are showing in your work doesn't depend on the medium, so they carry over

>>2140191
Imagine her skin as a mirrored surface, where would you see in the light source and how would the form of that particular body part deform the light source.

>>2140369
get a better taste

>>2140556
>>2140420
>>2140486
it reminds me of wind waker. i think it's a decent design, but that's depending on the IP.

>>2140418
consider not using a complete outline for the eyes. the head in general seems weak.

>>2140191
the face isn't quite straight

>>2140556
that just sounds like your taste

>>2140576
windwaker's style is more bold and confident and simple and graphic

this kinda feels like it's knocking off the proportions because they're easy but not entirely understanding why it was successful as a style

>red circle
What is it?

Anybody got Frenden's free set of brushes for Manga Studio? His provided link doesn't work anymore and I didn't save it from when I had it a while back ;_;

>>2140556
I should've clarified when posting, it was meant simply for a character design project so the costumes were the entire focus. But I do appreciate the critique on the coloring, it wasnt focusing on rendering beyond getting the colors down and to fit with one another, but if its detracting from the over all image then i'll definitely fix that

>>2140576
oh thanks, i agree but i couldnt pin point what was bothering me so much

>>2140582
just personal taste, its a body type i like to draw so i drew one, copy pasted it 3 times as a template for the costume. is there one aspect of the proportions that bothering you in particular that i can fix? ive been looking at it too long to really see anything jarring


thank you guys

>>2140677
like i said, it's the lack of rhythm. the body's silhouette is all straight lines and it doesn't to a very good job of directing the eye in any meaningful way. i understand it's a base pose but you can do better than this with a base pose.
read the first few chapters of 'force' by mike d. matessi he'll probably do a better job of explaining what i'm trying to convey. there's pdfs all over the place.
it's not that i don't like the style i think you're trying to go for, it's that i don't think you're entirely successful at communicating it. it's so stiff.

>>2140769
Force is advanced shit, just pick up vilppu and learn to feel.

>>2140779
personally i think force does a better job of explaining the specific concepts i'm trying to convey than vilppu

>>2140769
>>2140779
i'll definitely look into those. my stuff isnt always that stiff but i guess i just got lazy on this design thing and lost the feeling and i just let them be mannequins.

>>2140791
>i just got lazy
well it shows \o_O/

>>2140796
didnt think the stiffness would bother everyone so much on a design thing, my bad

>>2140800
i mean it looks lazy
it IS lazy

a big part of successful animation styles is the rhythm, line of action, energy, etc. it's pretty amateur looking when those elements are absent.

there are lots of visdev artists that communicate good design in tandem with good illustration. if 'i'm just thinking about design' is always your excuse for poor illustration than you will perpetually be less competitive

which is fine if you're not interested in being competitive, but then i question why you'd even bother posting for crit if you're going to shoot down anything that somewhat resembles negativity

>>2140805
didnt mean to shoot anything down man, just wanted to explain my mindset. i appreciate the crit and i did say i would make the changes. thanks for taking the time

>>2139203
perspective of the sword doesn't even get close to the perspective of the hand.

I can't even tell if the hand is floating in the air somewhere in front of the sword or touching it, which would be a stupid idea anyway.

Crooked nose, move the line off to the right and make it softer.

The Dredd continues.

>>2141306
lol @ the last one. Dat bulge, wanna come up and see my etchings, bb?

You planning on doing a comic with him or something?

I'm fairly pleased with how this turned out even though I kind of failed on the anatomy.

>>2141290
Nice!
>>2141292
Meh.

>>2141292
>>2141290
gorgeous colors an texture work, but over all feels very flat, the characters definitely seem to be like... almost floating above the image itself, it's very collage like the way the pieces are assembled. if that's what you're goin for you definitely nailed it.

>>2140791
i like this current piece a lot, very nice composition. also don't worry about personal model sheets looking stiff, it's a fucking model sheet, hahaha, it's to help you keep a design consistent throughout a work, your "normal" work seems fine in it's flowiness, but i'd never tell someone not to study more vilppu or whoever this force guy or anyone for that matter, ALWAYS STUDY MORE. but yeah, if you are planning on like, sharing/designing a model sheet for use by other artists, i'd say it's important to try and imbue some of that character's personality with said sheet unless it's a straight up turn around.

what did i do wrong this time?

>>2141375
pillow shading an general anatomy.
the parts covered by clothing are more or less fine, but what i can see of that arm is a bit goofy. go study arms a bit and for pete an repeat's sake, please pick a light source, friend

>>2141381
thank you, and i will.

A character design experiment.

Is it possible to get a job in the game/movie industry doing this style? I'm making my portfolio like this atm.

>>2141375
The shading's not enough I'd say, but other than that I like it, the hat's great.

>>2141385
Look up industrial painting styles if you want to work in that.

>>2141385
the legs/socks/feets and hands needd to be tightened up to fall in style with the rest of the rendering of the piece. if you did that it'd be a neat lil design piece. not really what the current movie/game marketplace is lookin for but i'm sure you could find your home in some smaller possibly indie game studio or small movie projects, there's a really pushback against the current trend in visual developement, for smaller projects anyways.

also, depending on how those feet look when you finish them, i might suggest studying how to properly draw feet touching the ground at different viewing angles. right now they look very flat which would only be possibly if the viewing angle of the piece was from floor level/super far away with a telephoto lens/an orthographic projection (fancy talk for a deliberate lack of perspective)

also study background work, it's always important to be well rounded and a small studio's would love to take out two birds with one stone (you might already be workin on this but i thought it'd be a useful tip since you seem to be lookin for work so i'mma mention it anyways)

wWHO LIEKS MESCHS
WHOO LOIEKS SHOAKES

>>2141398
Thanks a lot!
The feet are turned a litle inward so you can see a bit of perspective on the outsides. But il push it more.

Im trying to build a litle world with a story to make my portfolio somewhat gimmicky. Its still a huge mess atm

>>2141409
The story

(even bigger mess)

>>2141409
oh kid, no, please, don't do it, don't photobash ;-;
not even trynna hate, not even mad in the slightest, i jus want what's best for you :c
regardless, do what you want, i'll pray for your soul

>>2141414
Its an already existing location, and since im not practicing my drawing skill here but making a portfolio it seems like the most efficient ways of doing things.

https://maboulette.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/mirny_diamond_mine_hole_2.jpg

>>2141415
>since im not practicing
that seems to be a problem m8

>>2141418
Its not like im unable to draw a hole in the ground... im just saving time

>>2141422
this photo will be unrecognisable when im done... gonna paint over it all

>>2141413
ditch the story, i don't wanna be mean but it made my eye rolls an usually i'm nice about these things cause y'kno, live an let live, but if you're trynna get a hired i worry that'd be a strike against you.

also, for real, if you're gonna try to make your portfolio gimmicky, make it the art that's the gimmick. make your shit unique, distinct, somethin unexpected, not photobashed like all the other portfolios everyone an their mum is submittin nowadays. show them you can actually draw. if you can't actually draw, keep grindin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjWAWcx4xdE

>>2141375
bland and stiff pose. otherwise i'd say good effort. keep going.

>>2141427
Ive been thinking this world out for quite a while now. I guess im just gonna ditch the subtitles and let the art speak for itself. regardles of someones interpretation.

though i have to admit, the thumbs i created arent optimal for showing my drawing skill, but rather to tell a story... but making a portfolio of random unrelated drawings seems so forgetable to me...

my drawing skills;
>>2141385

>>2141434
i suppose the best thing is to choose for the thing that shows my skill the best... wich means making random forgetable portfolio nr.999999

>>2141434
yeah, if you wanna have a theme or somethin, go for it, but don't have lil setence fragment blurbs on your portfolio

>but making a portfolio of random unrelated drawings seems so forgetable to me...
only if your art is forgettable

>>2141385
this, this (design wise) is real fuckin unique, like, it's so dumb yet interesting that it actually comes off kinna clever (like it'd give similar warmth as when people let those jackets roll off their shoulders down to their elbows)

the thumbnail/ideas you have in >>2141413 come off so bland that unless you rendered them with amazing unparalleled skills they'd be just "okay, whatever"

best advice i can give is to find a thing you think is super neat visually, like something you think about an it instantly makes you wanna draw dRAW DRAW and then find something like that for each area of visual development. i used to not give a shit about cars, found them real boring, then i remembered hOW FUCKIN COOL MONSTER TRUCKS WERE, an now drawing any car is super easy cause monster trucks made my brain so desperate to draw them that i learned a lotta things along the way bout how to draw cars in general.

>>2141447
Im gonna run with this advice so hard, thanks a lot!
Would you mind if i add you on skype? (or you me)

I drew up a few things showcasing this character's transition from a good-natured welder to a monstrous soldier. Some of them are reposts from other threads though, so I hope you guys don't mind so much. I guess my questions for you all are if it looks like a natural transition. I'll post the pictures I have in order so it makes the most sense. Also, any help with little fuckups in anatomy and other things are greatly appreciated.

>>2141457

>>2141458
At this point in the story he's thickened out a lot and has started to accrue a bunch of scars from the vicious fighting on fringe world outposts.

>>2141460
And here he is, 4 or 5 years after constant fighting and combat. Currently seeking revenge for being abducted and taken from his family and home, or something like that. Still kinda hazy on the fine details of it all.

I know I fucked up on the chest here.

>>2141434
>>2141435

What is your portfolio aimed at anyways? Doing a structured portfolio that has a clear theme throughout is not a bad idea at all. Many clients in the animation industry for example even want to see that sort of thing because it shows you can work towards a goal, flesh out a story and keep a consistent style etc.

Just don't neglect your art while doing it. I personally wouldn't do an original story either because it can turn out a bit cringy without you realizing it. Lots of artists take somewhat obscure fairy tales or tales and legends from different cultures and create their portfolio around a redesign of that while still focusing heavily on showing off their art skills with character designs, color keys, full illustrations etc.

>>2141456
sorry, i don't really add people i don't know

>>2141457
the character is so bland that he's unrecognisable after the transformation.

Maybe you can give him something like a necklace, or wounds of being a welder.
Like he used the cutting torch but the acetylene shot into the tank and burned a part of his body in the explosion.

Having tattoo's is also not uncommon for welders

>>2141472
I guess I was sort of going for "bland" for the original character, but I see what you mean. I'll give him a few burn scars and maybe one of those "teenage mistake" tattoos like the name of a girl or something.

>>2141467
Pre-production seems cool to me.
Like what karakter.de does, or craig mullins

Thats the main reason i build a world.

>>2141473
hehe yeah, sounds good

>>2141409
Trying out the feng zhu techniqe eh?
Looks good so far in my eyes

>>2139836
It's cool I like it dude

so my friend says her shoulder looks too small but i don't think it is
after looking at it again several times i'm starting to think he's right. her shoulder looks off
i'm confused /ic/.. what went wrong?

>>2141331
A comic with Judge Dredd? No, wasn't planning to, he's just fun to draw.

>>2141618
She looks like she has no muscle or fat on them and they're not quite broad enough for the rest of her body.

>>2141618
if you just look at the shoulders, it doesn't look all that wrong.
but there is definitely something off in that area, though it may be a small thing.
it probably has to do with the breasts and the ribcage. if you follow all the forms and put them together, there may be some mistakes.

all in all though, i find the pose a little boring. where is she looking? what is she doing?

>>2141618
try fixing the left collar

>>2141618
My take:
I think the shoulders are fine and they can be explained by style. If they bother you, try adjusting the size of her left collar. It's sticking out farther than the right.

But story wise, it may make more sense for her to have bigger shoulders because she is a military person by the looks of it. Given the size of her legs, the shoulders do seem a bit small although not impossible.

was a fun watch

>>2138672
kind of cute, in an amateurish way

>>2131754
that's nice. the big head problem isn't there anymore.
but you aren't following through at some places when it comes to the arms and the hips. on the left the arms are completely misproportioned. you can't have the upper arms be that short. they have to at least reach the ribcage.

all the parts of the drawing or some ,because i can't understand shit about composition

>>2141845
Does your character have hulk hands or are you just bad at anatomy and foreshortening

>>2141856
the second one but is more i dont want to polish for 10 hours is the base are reallly bad

>>2141853
nah, i can see that you put some thought into the composition and paneling and stuff. but your drawings are the problem.
that girl you're drawing lacks softness and elegance in every way. be it proportions or lines. she's bulky and compact, it doesn't feel feminine at all. most people wouldn't even consider drawing a girl with hands like that.

definitely brush up on your fundamentals like anatomy, gesture and proportions

>>2139130
>dat rubber knee

>>2139358
study anatomy. Specially the torso, abs too high, too many of them, it lokks really weird

>>2140559
>ants in my overly detailed pants!
unless they're unhealthily tight.

>>2140779

>>2141266
she needs bigger baabs

>>2141870
for the "feminine " line do you have any artist in mind

>>2141938
eh, no one in particular. but any professional would be able to draw an appealing girl/woman. you should have artists you like, right? just look at those.

anyone have a graph of the muscles in the leg?

Getting closer to complete so any criticisms before I go to the final stretch? I'm not really liking the colours so I'm still experimenting with it.

It's pretty generic but really was just an excuse for me to draw many lines over and over again.

>>2141990
Near hand is too big. Inconsistent with the perspective/implied lens for the rest of it.

>>2140148

I like it.

>>2141980
I think you mean a diagram, and wikipedia has plenty. If you search specific muscle names you can find images from Gray's Anatomy, origin and insertion points, and at the bottom of the page a list of all other muscles in the leg.

>>2141990
I feel like the mark making in the clouds aren't as confident looking as in the EVA. Different line weights, oblong arches, and they clash (imo) with those ukiyo-e clouds.

Don't know if you noticed but the sun shape doesn't extend all the way under the clouds and there is some bare spots on the right hand corner.

>>2141917
She's already stacked, even by animu proportions.

I think her cranium is too tall, her hair starts too high up.

The whole image feels like it could be made better but I lack the expertise to put it into words. I think it's cute.

inking is tedious

>>2142121
You're not going to do the lower portion?

>>2142127
of course, this is just the area I'm working on atm

>>2142129
Ok, just wondering cause it's much less refined. Either way I think it's coming out great.

>>2142121
naice

>>2142121
it's because your sketch is vague and messy.
inking can be incredibly fun, it's what brings life and anergy into linedrawings.

My rendering is so poor egh
Do I just keep learning by failing?
It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so time consuming

>>2142341
>Do I just keep learning by failing?
Pretty much. That means you know what you should work on next.

>It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so time consuming

Nigga, anything worth doing takes a load of time to get good at.

so this is the thread where you dont need to your fundamentals?

>>2142430
That would be the porn thread. It's 2 blocks up to the left.

>>2140172
Beginner here, just to be clear, this anon is talking out of ass right? It's fine to build fundamentals digitally because they're universal right?

>>2142443
>It's fine to build fundamentals digitally because they're universal right?

Yea that sounds about right. You might just have some difficulties with hand coordination from using a tablet but aside from that the knowledge is more or less the same until you start getting into the technicalities of what programs you're using (which isn't even fundamental to making a good piece).

Do both traditional and digital and you'll be good.

>>2142447
Ok cool, thanks

>>2142443

Yes. The reason most people just tell you to start with pencil and paper is cause there's less barrier to entry with that. With digital there's extra bullshit a beginner shouldn't need to worry about, like finding a decent tablet that isn't postage stamp sized or trying to understand photoshop. It's a safe assumption that you know how to work a pencil.

>>2142440
oh sorry, my bad

>>2140369
I want to read the rest, I love stuff like this. You got a site?

>>2142155
ty

>>2142321
Maybe so. This is one of the longer pieces I've done, kept wanting to get though it. I guess I just need to get gud.

>>2140161
I see what you mean with the head shape, she has an egg head now that I'm looking for it. Could you try to describe what you mean by better made?

>>2140163
Meant for >>2140161

>>2140052
Drawing aside, what are you trying to convey?

Trying to get lines down on the page within one or two strokes. Trying to make every line perfect is fucking killing my output and I'm trying to improve.

I'm trying to do what guys like Peter Chung and Kim Jung Gi do, just start drawing and go from there without hesitation.

>>2141375
Your colors are too dark, lighten up dude!

>>2141618
I think perhhaps the breast facing the viewer needs to be nudged a bit further frame-right, due to the equipment shoulder strap. The shoulders look okay, just kinda weaksauce for a lady capable of trucking that gear for more than a quarter mile or so.

>>2142735
They've got years of experience and an extensive visual library. It's not that they draw without hesitation, it's that they know exactly what they are drawing.

I think, to no fault of their own, they mislead people by drawing like they do. It's not a matter of learning to be confident, their confident as a by product of their extensive range.

>>2142753
excuse the typos, phone.

Stylization is hard. I don't know how people are able to draw such good furry art.

Could somebody redline this please, I want to get into the habit of drawing a full figure instead falling back into my 3/4 view head shots comfort-zone, tips would also be very helpful.

use reference kids

Putting on some colors.

thoughts on this? sorry it should maybe be in the beginner thread

Proportions of the whole thing is WRONG
The way she is holding her bat is awkward.
Don't be a hipster queer cancer placing your materials right next to the drawing;we can see the sketchbook as it is.

>>2143320
If it is just for show, then yes, its a waste of time. Otherwise, there is nothing wrong with showing what tools you used in detail, as it can be helpful for other anons or can help them explain what you did wrong.

>>2143320
>The way she is holding her bat is awkward.
Thanks for pointing that out I totally see it.

tfw you hate your style but aren't sure how to change it

Rip me a new one /ic/

>>2143357
>you hate your style but aren't sure how to change it
just don't write retarded captions on your images and there you go.

Anime girls are too fun to draw. I almost don't want to do anything else.

>>2143316
Your pencil shading is pretty good.

Critique me up fam. I'm looking for any feedback at all. Looks like I slow work on the torso area for sure.

Why are you living together with a digenerate Kyle?

>>2143500
It's my friends ex. Having a female roommate is good because I don't have to clean anything.

thanks! thats what i was thinking but the dude was getting really into it lol. im doing the lines for this one now though, i'd love feedback as i go

>>2143285
SKUUUUUUNK

I always seem to draw the same type of things. like with clothes it's always either dresses, blouses or medieval fantasy kind of stuff. with the expressions and designs as well, sometimes i feeel like "i've drawn this before haven't i?"
how do i broaden my horizons?

>>2143619
Find a new type of clothing to draw and draw it again and again until you become comfortable with it.
Just repeat till you have a huge visual library

>>2141618
it's not the shoulders it's the size of the head in relation to the shoulders and body, make the head smaller.

>>2143621
so basically look for photos and other refs?
i probably should get that down as a habit. i usually try to do things out of imagination.
but the problem is only very rarely do i find refs that look useful and inspiring. fashion catalogues don't seem to do it for me.
i need a good way to collect quality references.

>idol photos
that's the only thing that comes to mind right now. what else is there?

>>2143632
You should just consume entertainment in general, i made it a habit to masturbate to at least one new eromanga every night before i go to bed,
not just because i like it but because i usually find some small inspiration in them, from technical things to designs and so on.

>>2143640
>You should just consume entertainment in general, i made it a habit to masturbate to at least one new eromanga every night before i go to bed,
well, been there, done that.
it probably helps but i don't know if on the same level as actively studying references. didn't people say that the best way to build a visual library is to study?
passively taking in stuff doesn't seem to help all that much.

>>2143645
It's what kim jung gi does when he isn't drawing

>>2143648
masturbating?

>>2143654
Looking at various references to build his visual library.

>>2143645
I know i was just saying to not forget to keep consuming entertainment, sometimes ideas comes from where you don't expect them,
many times i had great ideas because i was masturbating to something, i am not saying that you should just read manga all day, but
if you stop consume things and start just studying art models, i think you will start having a more hard time coming up with things.

>>2143665
when it comes to consuming tons of media, i think most of us are doing that already. and i do find inspiration in it.
but i wonder if a visual library can be built from this. things don't stick unless you study them. i think consumption by itself isn't enough.

>>2143671
>but i wonder if a visual library can be built from this. things don't stick unless you study them. i think consumption by itself isn't enough.
Oh yes i extremely agree, if you want to improve drawing from imagination you definitely have to study from reference and the try to recreate the reference
from imagination and then compare what you forgot and repeat etc. I was talking about the first point that was talking about not being able to come up with new ideas
and feeling like he was drawing the same thing.

>just ordered the super pose book
did i do good? what other books of this nature are recommended? i also know of "visual nude pose book". are there any other titles?

>>2143732
>did i do good?

Does it matter? You're not going to improve over such a simple book. My problem with the book is that it's rather small, and I have no idea what type of book stand I need to keep the pages open.

>>2143734
>Does it matter? You're not going to improve over such a simple book.
you could've just said "yes", you partypooper

it's a ref book so i bought it for the refs obviously. when i asked did i do good, i meant is this a good choice or are there other ones you could recommend.

>>2143732
It's filled with Jap qt's so good on you.

>still no scans

>>2143732
Too bad their squish boxes are blurred

>>2143744
>it's a ref book so i bought it for the refs obviously. when i asked did i do good, i meant is this a good choice or are there other ones you could recommend.

There's no bad references book. If you want to get technical about the subject, then Super Pose Books have some boring ass poses. You only got it cause there's asians in there you goddamn weeaboo. Don't let bias shit like that impair your judgement, it'll bite you in the ass in the future.

>>2143749
>then Super Pose Books have some boring ass poses

do you have the book to judge that? if so, did you get it because there's asian there?

>>2143749
you know, this is kind of why i'm asking. i don't mind non-asian books either. but from the little i've seen, western ones they tend to lean more towards fashion poses
the SPB seemed simple and clean, so i thought why not.

if there are some good ones, by all means name them. i only know these two
>visual nude pose book
>super pose book

>>2143759
>but from the little i've seen, western ones they tend to lean more towards fashion poses
the SPB seemed simple and clean, so i thought why not.

That doesn't even make sense, since if you know any weeaboo speak, even the super poses try to mimic that of american action movies.

>>2143760
like i said, i don't mind if you can name some western ones.
you need to stop being so obsessed with the word weaboo. you're probably scared of being categorized as that. sort out your issues and don't bother me with this garbage.

>>2143732
Please scan.

>>2141470
i just meant for chat btw, i dont even own a cam.

Stupid doodle i made for a drawthread over at /a/ yesterday

>>2143451
do you have a gallery/website somewhere?

>>2143732
Scan it please.

>>2144232
>>2143854
when it arrives it i'll consider it.

>>2143357
study styles you DO like...
also, work on your fundementals and you will have more control over drawing how you like it

>>2143357
same here. well, i have a love hate relationship with mine.

try to make more delicate lines. also adjust line widths. especially around the eyes.

looks perfect for tumblr or an indie game
