>>2211834
lol

>>2211833
I'll like it as long as that face stays like that. human are fuckin gross

>>2211833
cant draw face, hands and feet. typical.

>>2211833
That'd make a cool album cover

Early WiP, just the lineart/ base. Took the advice of an anon who said I should vary my lines regarding perspective. Ref was that one famous painting with the screaming man.

>>2211910
Oops, forgot to add image

>>2211877
it's a WIP though the head is important to the meaning of the piece

>>2211857
yes it will

>>2211897
haha thanks

i hate round brush fuck

>>2211919
its cute, kinda reminds me of a shitty zeronis.

fuck...

>>2211926
Any tips?

>>2211943
ayyyy

>>2211943
that isnt an ethnicity

I want to start drawing whimsical animals. I'm gettin back into drawing after being disabled so this was kind of painful. I don't think my strokes will ever be clean again.

In the long run I'd like to draw some nursery-style prints with woodland creatures to help generate some spending money whil I get through school.

I usedto do hyper realistic portraiture so this is a bit ofa change for me.

>>2209305
Thanks, I was completely caught up in the tone itself that I paid very little attention to the edges.

>>2211958
Fucking pussy.

fucking hands fucking im so bad at drawing thumbs

>>2211958
this is extremely cute and easy on the eyes

>>2211958
Well, you've certainly got the right vibe going! Do a badger next. Those motherfuckers look crazy cozy.

some advice on heads? I can't quite point out what's wrong with my heads and I've been practicing for a week. Being critical with your own work is what I found to be the hardest thing about drawing.

Current WIP
I've been staring at it for too long. I don't know what's exactly wrong even tho I'm positive it's fucked up.
Thoughts? Advice?

>>2212095
sry, forgot pic

>>2212096
pathetic

>>2212081
your faces lack depth and your skulls are kinda truncated at the back
if you're going for stylized, there's nothing really all that wrong with them though (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure comes to mind)

>>2212205
how embarrassing, i dont know what im looking at.

>>2212095
>>2212096
Beginner thread. Work on the overall flow of the figure instead of such heavily contoured images. Don't bother trying to get good looking images yet at your level. Drop the styling shit like the tail, you can add that easily when you have the figure down.
Specifically look at how your hip is connected to the torso, it's way off, the side facing towards the viewer is way, way shorter than her right. The proportions are also overall off. Lower half of body is too big for the rest of her, arms are too long, but mostly the entire hip and down region is fucked.

Draw a lot
Way more than you currently draw if you want to git gud.

Don't hide feet, only one way to get good and that is to practice drawing them, make canvas larger if you run out of space for them.

>>2212201
>>2212209
Not constructive in any way, go to /b/ you miserable old man

>>2212096
You need to spend some time figure drawing from photos/life and trying to understand their anatomy.

>>2212214
Trying to understand the anatomy is not a very good way to go about it imo. Actually studying anatomy is a way better way to go about it, atleast how I see it. Can't understand how the muscles work underneath the skin if you've never studied it.

Oil is terrifying. Jesus, so much to fix.

>>2212209
nah troll has a point
i'm not really clarifying anything with my redline

>>2212217
the mabille is too detailed for a background object, since you've clearly made things lose focus as they recede into the distance

looks nice though. might want to sharpen detail on the foreground lamp posts and that foreground bush.

>>2212213
go back to the beginner thread your miserable kid.

>>2212236
Thanks man!

any crits?

>>2212232
>>2212205
I actually see what you mean, thank you. gotta keep practicing.

>>2212268
yeah, its pretty shit.

>>2212268
Put something underneath his left leg, looks kind of like he's half standing half floating right now. Other then that the legs look a little blobby compared to his muscular upper body, would be nice to see a little more structure down there. I like the colors.

>>2211796
Gonna finish it tomorrow. Back to hard surface after struggling with that bat knight character.

>>2212268
Looks pretty good but those red lips are pretty offputting fam.

Hey guys check out my latest work

That Rory Mercury is an insult to this entire board.

>>2212276
I see what you mean by him looking like he's floating. It's supposed to look like he's wearing slacks, so i'll try to push that texture a bit.

>>2212284
now that I look at it the whole face looks out of place

Reworked the picture after getting some crit from a previous thread. (Reworked the values, picture had no contrast to it and was boring)
Thoughts pls.

>>2212268
Looks awesome, perhaps the eyes should be a bit less round. Another area you could work on are the harder surfaces, the blades? on the back and the wand are a bit too blurry, sharpen the edges a bit and voila.

post(ed/ing) all the rough work for this in the sketchbook thread

wip, help and crit appreciated

>>2212328
i assume the focal points of this image are the kneeling person and the sitting sage.
however the most contrast in the image comes from the black occlusion behind the pillars next to the light source. tone down the difference between those colors, and crop the image. the left side is full of extraneous information that doesn't add anything to the composition.

something from drawpile

>>2212357
crap sorry about the size

>>2212346
this image would look cooler if prefaced with a clean view of the green mountain range with the clouds.
then you present this page, zoomed out to show the trash and grey dust, and the grey smog of the plane.

looks fine for a comic page, though.

>>2212362

>this image would look cooler if prefaced with a clean view of the green mountain range with the clouds

Yup, planning on having that for either the cover, or doing a full page spread. Thanks!

Beautiful Refugee Girl

>>2212356
Agree with the criticism, disagree with the solution. I think it's as simple as adding another flame on the opposite side of the stairs so the focus is in-between them (the sage).

>>2212346

>>2212392
>no explosion
>just the aftermath

0/10. How do you draw a sequence and leave out the most actionable shot and think to yourself that that's ok?

>>2212397

that's not the aftermath doofus

jesus only 2 pages in calm your tits

>>2212397
see >>2212346, nothing has changed, the explosion is probably on the next page. How did you manage to miss that?

>>2212397
I dunno, I think it's actually kind of a cool idea. not a big fan of that last frame though, it looks like the burnt out ground is part of the mountain landscape

>>2212392
>>2212346
Yeah, I think you need to clarify that the mountains are the background and not part of the beach/midground. And maybe make the beach less grey so it's not mistaken for the aftermath.

Also is the drone's (?) contrail supposed to change from white to gray. I'm a sucker for the white contrail because of how it and the clouds morph together in the last two panels.

eh? Ahri?

>>2211974
I don't know why, but I really ,really like your style.

Thoughts? Left is meant to be the good copy, right is a practice with watercolor.

>>2212460
how you gonna sign a drawing that isn't even shaded

>>2212470
Left looks good. Watercolour on the right is a mess though. Especially given the sort of art nouveau style lines of the left, I think a flatter simpler wash of colours would be better rather than trying to render it out like that.

Also, how did you get the scale design so neat? Did you do it freehand or is there some trick to it?

hands

>>2212499
Thanks, I appreciate the criticism. Was thinking the same about the watercolour.

As for the scales, I just sketched them out (it was a huge pain getting them to look even. Lots of erasing), then went over them with a pigment liner.

Just bought a intuos pro today. No idea how to paint.

>>2212540
I want to use this shia drawing and paint over it to make various edits for maximum memes but I have no clue how to use photoshop.

>>2212541
LOL that res. GG toasters

mullins help me!

Need to post this while it's still artistic nudes

>>2212587
tips on appeal

>>2212596
read the sticky

>>2212597
The sticky doesn't talk about appeal.

are you an artist?

>>2212612
Are you? because you look like the common shitposter we see here every other week with no attempt at progress. you want to talk appeal? appeal comes from smooth, organic shapes and lines and well composed pieces. something that you will never be capable off at the pace your going

What are you doing with your life? what are you going to be remembered for when you die? nothing but the dept you leave with your family. you will produce garbage for the rest of your life, weither it be garbage art, or garbage children with your ugly wife/husband. you'll die, while others will live on forever

Get your shit together or stop and die like everyone else

ps sticky teaches about composition line weight, so yes, stick teaches appeal. now go away bones of ruin, now go away kromcompany. Jesus I miss the mods

>>2212620
How did you flip the b upside down in debt?

hey gang

>>2212620
The sticky has two links. I'm referring to the first that can be summarized as "Draw more stuff" It really feels like an illustration heavy explanation of what drawing is.

The second is more of a reference page to lots of things.

I'm more of a story teller than an artist. Animation is just a means to an end, kinda.

Don't be like that. It was a trick question. Appeal is different for everyone. Some people like round shapes some like spiky point shapes. I don't know what I like cause I've seen so many different styles.

>>2212620
>bones of ruin
He left awhile ago, he's back on /co/. This board was too slow for him, he does his little act for attention and there just aren't enough posters here to keep him fed.

Crits greatly appreciated. I always have trouble with lighting especially.

Crits greatly appreciated. I always have trouble with lighting especially.

Also, I just realized I must have saved over the A4 sized psd with this much smaller version, god damn it.

>>2212669
I really like this, but didn't you post this yesterday? Doesn't seem like you had any progress with it.

>>2212663
is someone pretending to be me

(fucked up my post like 3 times)

Crits are greatly appreciated.

>>2212674

I built up some values but I'm mainly just fishing for critique. I was out today so haven't worked on it.

>>2212676
I might be thinking of the wrong guy, he has changed his name a few times so it's hard to keep up. I think he goes by Wolf Bones now, he's a very dedicated troll shits up every draw/webcomic on /co/ and posted here for awhile some time ago.

What can i do to improve at pinups ?

>>2212692
Loomis

>>2212692
Add focus, don't put them in the center, and composition.

Right now the eye doesn't really go anywhere. You should make the face and legs stand out more than anything else. Ignore the breast and buttocks for now.

It's not good to have your character smack in the middle doing nothing. "Toon box studio" is a channel on youtube that does pinups. Look him up.

>>2212692
Learn female anatomy.
Quickposes erotica / female silhouette is pretty cool if you can help not fapping to it.

>>2212698
That's not advice. That's not even a full name. Be specific or you'll make artists looking for help more confused. You could at the very least name one of the books by Andrew Loomis.

>>2212699
>"Toon box studio" is a channel on youtube that does pinups. Look him up.
Absolute shit.
>>2212702
>You could at the very least name one of the books by Andrew Loomis.
"Creative illustration". But looking at that you need to go through "Figure drawing for all its worth" first. And if it is too complex, start with "fun with a pencil".
Aka LOOMIS aka read the sticky!

>>2212707
Your eyes are undeveloped. You can't recognize the skill level of others yet. Maybe if you drew more you'd understand.

this person doesn't need to start over from scratch. read the sticky and tell me which step they are on and I'll back off

beep boop

Very small amount more progress done tonight

>>2212715
>Your eyes are undeveloped
whatever you say bruh. have you been recognized by sakimichan senpai¿ i thought so

>>2212764
Did you notice the knife? Which one is you? I can give you a nice critique based on facts instead of half-baked opinions.

>>2212210
thank you

>>2212214
Do you even draw, I mean really?

>>2212210
What about you? Are you doing art at all?
Your advice is generic and untrustworthy

>>2212301

Yeah, the story of a failed person who has no discipline and work ethic. Take your steven tumblrverse shit and those "appealing" stick figures and ram them up your wanna be tripcode ass, this aint reddit you fucking faggot, I bet youre a girl anyway.

>>2212833
Dubs dont lie

>>2212794
Then how about you critique the work in question? Have a crack at it.

stop fighting
pls

>>2212724
does anyone like the vampire girl

Oh god my sides

I stopped even feeling sorry for them.

>>2212986
Critic please? Like seriously I need to know what's ugly

>>2212379
You've painted the same picture at least a million times now

>>2212692
drown yourself in boiling water?

Ok guys im sorry for acting like an asshole.
Its all my fault. I admit my mistakes and i was acting like a total faggot. Because i am one in real life and i suck at making anything good.
My parents are divorced and i live alone, you need to understand how pitiful my life is for doing this. I'm really sorry you guys.
To make it up, im going to buy the largest dildo i can find and stick it up my ass, timestamp and show it to you guys. Im really sorry for this. Please forgive me. Lets be friends from now on ok?

>>2213036
shut up nerd

>>2212222
Don't be terrified, there's no need to be. Just go at it with confidence, you'll learn something new one painting at a time. Hoping to see the progress on that one.

>>2213000
The most glaring issue for me is the tiny, baby teeth and the amount of gum showing. That mouth is just unsettling.

>>2213114
Kind of wanted the mouth to be a little creepy but not that much. I'll fix the teeth in the future. If you have other things to say just shoot, I really want to develop towards this. Thanks!

>>2213036
fuck off gayboy i hope drawing never works out for you

>>2212837
The only problem I see is that the line art is unrefined. Maybe some base color will help define the shapes, and shading will show the form.

>>2212833
Haha you got tricked by an essential question. Are you 12? Any experienced artist worth a damn would see that was empty rhetoric.

>>2212724
Redo the arms one is longer than the other and the mouth is too rounded for the face either turn the face more or change the mouth. >>2212837 that's how it's done

>>2212874
You don't pity me cause I'm not pitiful.

>Giving critique when you're a bottom of the barrel beginner

>>2212474
I like it

>>2213203
Honestly having a critique at all is better than having none. I'm new and it's bummer there's a lot more bickering than critiques in here...

>>2213208
>Having a person who's learning to walk give you tips on walking

>>2213210
>>2213203
Not him but why you gotta be like that, man. Meme arrows and shit. Just say what you have to say and go back to drawing.

>>2213203
Someone who's never drawn can critique and say something looks weird.

>>2213210
Heh at least it's an opinion. I've taken a look at the arms, etc. then I'll decide if I should something about it

I really wanted to post stuff here to get unfiltered critiques, in a day I've got one guy say "oh jeez, no" and 2 people giving actual criticism. I'll take that.

>>2213211
>Telling me not to meme arrow and go back to drawing when you're here replying to me and not drawing

>>2213216

Any help with the mouth would be appreciated.

>>2213203
You can't even draw your own react pictures, you are not even an artist you trash

>>2213210
That just mean I'l trip up but I can still do it

>>>/reddit

the fuck is going on in this thread. heres more hands

>>2213231
You need to focus on porpotions and construction because its evident from your drawing that you suck at it. Im Talking about rule of thirds and the mouths realation to the eyes etc. Also try to crosshatch to shot the direction of the planes.

>>2213248
If you are not trying to do hands realistic in porpotion and rendering you should atleast push their experssion. Take for example some of Egon schieles figures.

>>2213258
I'm drawing from a reference and trying to find a compromise between what's on it and my own intuition but what you said is still true. What's a good resource, I've got Loomis, Vilppu, and Proko on standby until I finish my last exam tomorrow. Should I start with one of them or something else?

>>2213266
Them are good. Also look into hogarth and bridgeman.

>>2213266
Should probably start with the Vilppu Drawing Manual, but if that's not clicking don't hesitate to try one of the other beginner books.

>>2213268
Thanks, will look into them.

>>2212585
It very abstract, you should try to Showcase the design better or atleast make a bit more intresting compostion.

>>2213262
>If you are not trying to do hands realistic in porpotion and rendering
i am

>>2213269
Vilppu's manual looks good, will do.

So other than the fucked up twist, am I doing this right?

>>2213291
no respect for your kind.

Bunch of quick sketches, are these allowed?

>>2213295
sure. youre not learning anything by doing those, but sure.

>>2213300
What this guy said.

>>2213300
Uh? the top right I was trying to make it look like the Gorillaz guy
Bottom one had the hand + straight razor pose and the downshot on the face, and I had never drawn the joker before

>>2213305
youd be better off doing this all day
>>2213248
>>2212508
>>2212023

>>2213314
Implying I don't do that? Very few people seem to be posting pages of hand studies

Apparently posting quick sketches isn't allowed lol

>>2213317
>Implying I don't do that?
implying you do? i'd rather see those.
>Apparently posting quick sketches isn't allowed
nobody said that. just that you don't get better at drawing from imagination by drawing from imagination. so much so that it's almost not even worth doing. you know that observation drawing is better for you. I know it. It might be more boring but it's the right thing to do.

>>2213322
Alright, I don't wanna argue. Back to drawing!

>>2213295
plebcomics?

i suggest looking at the sticky

Still have no clue what to do with the background and generally foreground

is this sketch good?

I just started this puppy. Pleas tell me what you think.

>>2213336
wow what a fucking mess. you should scrap this piece of shit.

>>2213342
The composition looks good so far, is there going to be more to it on the left side

>>2211796
Where can i find some good reference for animals and anthropomorphic stuff? ive got monsters and werewolves i wanna draw.

>>2213345
Yea. Behind the middles head there are black speakers. Past that is a wall that is relatively a middle tone. To the fare left of that wall thee is a window.
I'll post more when I have paint more. Thanks for responding.

Just started reading Loomis' first book.

How am I doing so far?

>>2213291
you gave her a lot more muscle than she really has. why are women so DYEL?

>>2213341
No, it's trash. Like your existence.

>>2213366
The ear line on the second one should be pushed a bit back, but decent progress. You'll get a better grasp of the spheres by the time you're finished with the chapter.

Keep at it.

>>2213366
Not bad anon, just remember not to get too attached to any one of your drawings yet. Just do the best you can with each one then move on to the next, it's quantity over quality at this point. Also make sure you're using your whole arm when you draw, learning to do that now will save you a lot of headaches in the long run.

>>2213416
This.

More sketches with references

starting to get stuck
any tips?

Just got done with this. What do you guys think?

>>2213461
The proportions seem a bit off in the nose and chin, also the anatomy isn't tight enough on the right cheek bone.

.>>2213455
Your poses seem a bit stiff, try making them more dynamic.

>>2213455
nigga please take proper measurements.

also
>studying from that drawing

>>2213472
He's missing a pot of honey you silly goose.

>>2213472
color temperature of pooh and the background isn't consistent and i'm not sure why it's blurred out to such a degree. really gross textures, you need to add more variation to the value and edgework (while being consistent to the lighting of course). bad construction

>>2213198
Lol you really have no business or place on critiquing/instructing others. There is a reason accomplished artists are teachers and instructors. Since you are neither all you can offer is something you pull out of your ass or something so blatantly obvious the poster's mom or friend could do the same job if not better. Noobs come here to be critiqued by artists, not hacks like you


Nice chicken scratch btw, cute how you comment on someone else's line quality and are too lazy to even incorporate it into your "piece"

>>2213461
Call it done then start a new one, if you learned something new from this then it's all you need from it.

For the next one, practice outlining your shade groups, or draw/paint an upside down picture. Get out of a comfort zone some how

>>2213208
Pretend you are walking down a street. You ask another person walking around how to get to a coffee shop about a block east from you. They send you east instead, so not only did you go the wrong way, but you had to learn how to do it right at the expense of time, energy, and frustration.

You see my point?

>>2213472
I think you should have a legible signature so people can google your name if they like your art.

>>2213493
you wont find it by my name
http://doctirderp.deviantart.com/

>>2213291
There would be no shame tracing the outline of the figure to use as another drawing reference as long as you learn something about construction after all is said and done. You could even put a skeleton inside that outline since she is skinny it owuld be super accurate. Then start a new drawing and try to draw that skeleton and then muscle around that. Be sure to have an anatomy book at hand

>>2213455
You need to exaggerate the movement more. Your drawings look stiff because the first lady on the left is really leaning backward, and you drew her leaning forward. Those two people shooting machine guns are being pushed together from the force of the machine guns. Also, why did you draw the lady with the bow in her hair with her boobs almost facing forward? It makes it look like her back is broken.

>>2213344
autism must be ignored
>>2213336
Take a break from it and come back to it later until you have a good idea of what you wanna do. In the mean time start doing some research until you have a clear picture of what you wanna portray. Right now you are literally painting your indecisiveness because of how vague the background looks/ It's literally "some ocean sunset"

>>2213497
You probably want to keep your /pol/ism as far away from everything else as possible anon.

Nice salty sea dog btw

Is it possible to hide namefags on /ic/?

>>2213504
thanks. but conservative politics extends outside of /pol/. it isn't uncommon to be a christian white conservative in america believe it or not.

>>2213514
People don't care for your political beliefs believe it or not, so why bother 'sharing'

You have cookie cutter lifestyle, good for you. Go out and draw more fagit

>>2213517

>>2213535
Damn you're on a roll! I've been enjoying all these hands lately.

Do yourself a favour and get a small mirror on your desk so you can draw your left hand as a right hand as well as get angles you couldn't otherwise.

>>2213530
I'm
>>2213517
not
>>2213504

I'm just letting you know that no one cares, has nothing to do with me so idk why you're calling me pissy. No one brought up political opinions, the only thing we both know is your political affiliation. Not mine or my beliefs which could agree or conlfict with yours.

So check mate, nigger

Tl;dr You're being a bumper sticker good for you no one cares lol draw more

>>2213336
shitting a rainbow on it is normally a last resort for bad construction, start again.

>>2213712
kek i draw my hands while i play league.
join me, brother

>>2213712
Holy shit this looks just like the art in the oingo and boingo comics in jojo stardust crusaders

>>2213725
Man I fucking loved those, they were my favourite bits of animation in the series. So fun. I'd read a whole comic like that.

wip

hey gang

>>2213461
use a reference youre only hurting yourself, why are you ignoring the other cheek

>>2213461

First time with toned paper

>>2213826
naicu

>>2213826
i can see it work better now, cheers

A bit more progress. Crits please

>>2213862
it feels a bit flat

>>2213896
Woah, hey guys

>>2213497
Jesus Christ. Are you legit insane

>>2213862
Agreed with >>2213894. Most of it is a drawing issue where most of the trunk, the head and neck, and the base of the tail are all lined up in the same vertical plane (parallel to the picture plane). I almost looks like you took the creature and mounted it in a frame the way some bugs are. Try imagining what your painting looks like from a side view, as if you were making a sculpture - the flatness should be more apparent that way.

You could also use some hints of atmospheric perspective to gradually push the tail into the background. Perhaps some fresnel effects along the contours of forms would help as well.

It fully fix the flatness might require a decent amount of repainting. Push either the ribcage or the pelvis forward in space to start off, then go from there. I tried a shitty redline trying to preserve a good portion of the drawing. It's possible to preserve more, but if it were my piece I'd push the depth even more than in my redline.

>>2213862
>>2213910
Forgot attachment

>>2213822
Overall your anatomy sucks. The mistakes that makes your picture look really uncanny is the heads attachment to the neck. The shoulder anatomy and the pose, hips etc.

>>2213862
The feet, legs and tail should be partially lightened and shaded in a lot of places. The claws and feed should have probably more details, too, as the material changes.

>>2213919

lol, you just changed the pose and added more perspective. I agree that the head may be slightly off, but far from uncanny.
I don't think you're good enough to critique on anatomy.
(I'm not the artist)

>>2213824
Cool!

>>2213859
I like it!

>>2213919
wheres her pelvis?

Remember when the draw thread wasn't 70% beginner thread rejects?

>>2213919
You made it look worse

>>2213930
Eyes need work and her thigh looks too curved, unless you're trying an interpretation of a Canadian cartoon character.

>>2213859
Love the linework, submit a finished version if you have a chance.

>>2213822
She seems to be lacking a rather big chunk of her lower torso. Look at some refs, don't leave it like this.

hey gang.

>>2214054
>mfw i realized her right wrist is pretty much broken after posting..

>>2214058
That's the least of your problems

>>2214071
yea i understand, i am not using refs at all now-a-days.
and it is frustrating.
care to redline this for me please?

>>2213859
The character needs a better position if squating over that tiny hill or rock or whatever, he looks like he's about to fall off. Where did the other leg go and how it is keeping him on the hill?

>>2212702
If the user had read the fucking sticky like they're supposed to we wouldn't have this problem, right?

>>2214072
use reference

>>2213535
>>2213534
These are fucking horrible and I have no clue why these idiots are cumming over them. You clearly don't understand the function and subtly of hands and are just doing guesswork.

>>2214085
i disagree, i feel as if i learn more from encountering problems that i get when not using references. when i use a ref, there is no learning (for me) it feels like directly copying lines and forms but not fully having to think about them.
this way (no refs) i feel as if i have to think, and thus progress faster. and when someone better than me redlines them it makes so much more sense that a red lines photocopy.

TLDR: i wanted to construct a figure not do a figure study.

so can you redline or no?

>>2214072
oh look another drawing with the tits fully drawn and not paid attention too much els.

>>2214106
>tits fully drawn

lol

>>2214110
fuck off op, you shouldn't be defending a shitty drawing.

>>2214116
Why don't you post your amazing work instead of being an insecure asshole to everyone?

Oh, who am I kidding. You don't even draw.

>>2214119
better work than yours.

>>2214123
meant for>>2214121

>>2214072
I'm on my phone and don't have a tablet.
I suggest to start drawing from reference every day in combination with studying body proportions and relationships
Croquis cafe is a good source

>>2213341
obviously not, had you asked for help maybe youd get some, but you just compliwhored youreself

>>2213919
dude you cant even draw an abdomen and youre trying to give cs, kill yourself. not artist

>>2213822

>>2214229
Better than my crit definitly! >>2213919

Chromatic aberration is cruise control for cool.

>>2214287
>Chromatic aberration
Oh shit you don't know how happy you've made me. I've wondered forever what the fuck the deal was behind that stylistic technique.

can anyone sketch some quick ideas into this to make it more interesting ?

>>2214315
Be creative yourself. get some inspiration from litterature, photographs and art.

>>2214315
a cloud, a drowning kid, a frog, a dragon, a naked lady. A twig?
Run with it

>>2214287
>>2214310
Chromatic aberration is the little red and blue glow going on around the lines and colors simulating a camera shot.
If you want the color style. Black and white plus gradient and use of masks.

>>2214287
I hope you're doing this ironically

>>2214287
this effect HURTS my damn eyes.

>>2214339
I'm doing it to appeal to plebs.

>>2214310
>>2214334

can span from violet to magenta to green too, and it's an utterly stupid gimmick because it's trying to emulate a photo lens physical defect, usually difficult to see with high-spec lenses or sharply reduced by post-processing.
good for the guy who made it popular but please don't emulate

>>2214287
blog?

I cant find a fucking reference to draw pants in this postion and am really at a loss, anyone got a ref for me or a red line?

>>2214442
garbage

Just did a mass instaupdate

>>2214463

>>2214464

>>2214466

>>2214229
Thanks! Here's a more improved version, taking your advice.

>>2214088
this ones dedicated to you

>>2214442
literally type in Army Pants in google.

>>2214502
its not the pants, its the legs

>>2212828
Thanks, gonna ink it tomorrow probably.

muh prismas

>i projected the outline because I can't into likenesses at such scale

>>2214518

>>2214496
i think you uploaded the wrong file.

>>2213894
>>2213910
>>2213911

Thanks for that. I hadn't gotten a real critique on it yet and yours was fantastic. That pic was getting a bit old, but I applied your thoughts to this new one i'm doing. The lower half of the body is meant to be trailing off.

It's meant to be a light green dragon with a sort of moonlight situation lighting-wise. I did a rough mockup. Help would be appreciated.

>>2214520
You look handsome, wanna fuck?
>I think the line on the jaw is too dark, adding more stubble to the lower jaw will help ease it in better.
>the back of the hat looks sharper than the image, I think it'd look better if it was blurred a bit.
>The eye area looks kinda flat, I think it's because the cheekbones are slightly darker than they should be in comparison to the eye.
>refine the edge of the right nostril a bit more, it gets sort of lost.
>add more hairs on your eyebrows
I think on of the major problems, and this could be the light, is that there's not much of a hue difference between the light/medium/dark values on the skin. I can appreciate you making the skin more red/peach colored that in the reference image, but you have to keep those comparative differences between the values.
>also I think the blue is too far contrasting, and doesn't work well with the skin/paper color--but that's just me

>>2214538
Is it wrong to upload a WIP then? I meant the body position. I thought it was an improvement on my last upload.

>>2214518
how about instead you draw your hands a bunch of times? without a projection.

>>2214563
Now you have a similar but different problem with this one, and it concerns flatness again. Aside from the area from the front-most limb to the head, the entire body of this floating dragon is resting on a flat imaginary ground-plane.

The pattern is similar to how many fish move, but the back and fourth between each undulation is already so exaggerated. I'd try to incorporate movement above and below this 'ground-plane'.

When redesigning/tweaking the body's movement, try to pay close attention to your big shapes and your composition. Right now from the thumbnail view the back half of the dragon is visually one giant mass - not very interesting to look at IMO. The front half shows visual promise, but part of that is that it contrasts with the back half.

>>2214106
>what is a wip.

What does ic think? I feel like I have reached the point of fumbling and I'm looking for some suggestion on what to do before detailing it.

>>2214604
I was going to mention that the eyes are a bit off, but it doesn't look like symmetry is what you're going for. I'd say push the blue glow on his features a bit more and darken the BG/change the BG color. Lookin neat though, hope you share it when you're finished.

New thread:

>>2214567

thanks for the crit bb <3

>>2214621
What's the rush? /ic/ is slow as fuck, this thread could still be alive days from now.

>>2214626
The new thread is made when the old one no longer bumps.

>>2214628
Yah, but even if it's at bump limit you can still post images. This thread hasn't been bumped in over 4 hours and it's still only on page 2, plenty of life in it still. Starting a new thread doesn't bother me, just seems a bit silly considering the snail's pace of the board.

>>2214610
I will, and thanks for the crit.

hey, i finished this last night. watermarked with my art tumblr name. crit?

I am not a fn of this but used to be when 15
Please crit ill post more of my anatomy stuff no refs...

>>2214463
Very cool

>>2214592
Really digging this one, don't forget to update the blog every now and then 8^D

>>2214342
Fuck your weak-ass eyes you little bitch

work in progress

>>2215966
the mood is well cought in there im liking .... do you draw directly or with an undersketch pencil or something

so I have draw this boar demon and have decided to add a background but am having trouble coming up with a good composition. I was considering a ally, classroom or somewhere kind of urban, any good ideas?

quick 45-60 min doodle
