but the porn thread hasn't reached its bump limit yet

anti loomis ranger where can i find you online

>>2230131

trying to figure out the ideal /cute/ facial proportions.

there are guides for the idealized male/female face, but cant find anything on cute face

any input would be mostly welcome!

>>2230224

>>2230226
well yea, there is the theory behind it, like lowering the eyes, making them further apart, not using any sharp angles etc. but what is the sweet spot? he mentions there were researches done that certain qualities (proportions?) trigger your cuteness sences more, that means that assuimng they tested lot of subejcts there is one best/cutest face, and thats what im interested in (because it certainly isnt that abomination in the chart at 0:57)

>>2230236
>but what is the sweet spot?

There is no such thing. Cuteness is not exactly an exact science. It not only varies from human to human, but from one mood to another. Just draw until you get to your sweet spot by trial and error.

>>2230239
um alright. btw which of the two i posted earlier you think is better? could you maybe quickly redraw the face and do even cuter one?

>>2230224
I prefer the right one

>>2230224
ears down, eyebrows kinda close (like being sad or worry)
lookin to the point of view (eye sight making a triangle not a infinite paralel)
area between nose and eyebrows a bit more rose (well, if not furry)
more pastel colors, more contrast without using dark values

right is better, probably due to front being cleaner and eyes having better perspective
softer lines, not black, not thick

making it gently helps too

>>2230241
Right one, it's more sad.

trying to make over the top muscles

>>2230224
step 1: avoid down syndrome

>>2230359
Leaving humanity behind

Finished, I ended up cropping the left side as it was only distracting.

>>2230359

Those look more like tumors. Stylized and exaggerated muscles should be more about pushing the already existing shapes and rhythms of the muscles, not adding bubble-muscles that don't exist. Unless you were going for this type of Grappler's Baki / Liefeld stylization.

>>2230390
Not to talk shit, but Lilo looks like she has liver disease, man. Too much yellow in her skin.

>>2230420
Hmm, thought her arm would catch some reflection from the other's leg, might have pushed it too far.

>>2230390
You're drawing with your dick man. Which wouldn't be too bad if it weren't so obvious. You need more practice in other areas. You're rendering is passable in some areas (Lilo's jeans and parts of her ass, the house in the background) but downright ugly/lazy in others (everything else). Also, the composition here is too tight and claustrophobic. If you wanted to keep this pose, move the camera back a bit. The sidewalk and the fence also don't make any sense.

I've been looking at your work for a while, and see this kind of result in a lot of stuff. I like your ideas, I just wish you focused on the technical aspect a bit more.

>>2230425
So, just more fundamentals?

>>2230425
Will do, thanks.

>>2230224
>cute face
Big forehead, small nose, small mouth, small chin, features close together, Round forms etc.

>>2230473
looking good! I really like the amount of detail you put in your drawings

here's a kotori

>>2230545
>detail

you mean like the poorly photobashed buildings?

>>2230547
>I Don't Know What Photobashing Means: The Post.

>>2230545
oh btw this is a new "type" of face i've been working on, how does it look?

>>2230548
its alright anon. just look under her left leg (right side of the picture) and youll see one of the photos that has been bashed in

>>2230553

Looks good Lefty. It reminds me that Oshimi Shuuzos character of this newest manga...

>>2230568
looks like he's done the photo texture paint over thing that feng zhu does but missed a spot. I don't exactly consider that photobashing.

>>2230569
Thanks!

I looked up the artist but don't really see the resemblance(he's really good btw).
his latest manga is "Happiness", is that the one you you're referring to?

>>2230572
>not photobashing
It's an obvious, barely-manipulated photo, included in the image as a shortcut. What else would you call it?

>>2230574
Though the eyes the structure of the face reminded me that characther and the contourn of the face and the jaw line and the mouth...

do you have da by the way lefty?

>>2230574
yes happiness...

>>2230614
oh yeah you're right, the jawline and mouth placement are quite similar!

and yep, well my dA is inactive but i have a tumblor:

>>2230390
>Blog/tumblr?

>>2230584
|I think the photo that's left in there is a mistake, the rest is just borrowing colours and maybe perspective, it's borderline photobash.

>>2230635
its not a mistake, you can see some photo stuff on the left too, it just wasnt pained over enough to hide the cheating

working working working

how is SAI for line work, I typically just go in super close and do it manually. I will probably continue to do so but sometimes, its a bit tempting to try out SAI

>>2230748
Post your work faggot.

>>2230621
sundryaddams.tumblr

>>2230665
Sexualizing cartoons is the height of art you philistine.

>>2230752
Dude, great posing, love the design too.
And I use SAI and as long as you're working on a big enough canvas your linework will look pretty good, you can achieve different linework effects by using different tools like with many other programs but SAI focuses a lot more on the sketching/rendering process than the post-production.

Postan'

I'm trying to work with a style that has anime-like mannerisms but a few steps towards something more realistic. But I was hoping for some opinions.

Can't even finish doodles due to shitty job schedules and tiredness.
fuck

>>2230790
i like this a lot. do you post your work anywhere?

>>2230619
Wow Lefty is still on /ic/? how nostalgic

Pitou?

>>2230811
Proper hatching would help that actually look intense and not like a mess.

Tear my shit up...please.

Finished the rendering but I'm going to make a flower pattern for the blouse, gonna try to make it look like a realistic cloth pattern so it'll probably take as long as this drawing lol.

>>2230131
Holy shit, I didn't expect a red-line, especially one so well-executed and helpful. I'll save this for another time for sure, so thank you.

>>2229914
>>2229870
>>2229914
Thank you for the shadows suggestion and more posing tips. I have to admit I'm choosing the pose because I'm very poor at showing proper feet placement on a plane. But I'm probably scrapping it because I fucked up too much.

>>2230849
Hair is not balanced to the rest of the drawing, think of shapes, you have that huge white shape randomly on top of a really low palette, with low contrasts and saturation. I'd remove that shine or at least ease it

If I were to move the hand to the forground would it ruin the composition and bring too much focus to it?

>>2230849
>>2230867
I think the blue bg is holding back the drawing.

>>2230869
Alright, I'll tone it down and see how it looks, thanks!

>>2230895
You think so? I thought it'd be a nice contrast for the really warm color palette of the character, I'll try out other bg colors though.

>>2230894
Depends on the shape, size and color

A shining fist will stand out way more than a dark palm on a table

lots done, lots more to go

>>2230635
i was borrowing the colours and perspective.

>>2230643

lotta time lotta patience

but its too much fun to not wanna do right

>>2230949
I see, thanks. It looks like it can work.

Also, is it ok to use a color palette from another artist? Cusharts style is just lovely

>>2230966
thats more thank ok. they dont "own" those colours.

>>2230151

Ink on sketchpad. Should be obvious who it is.

The problems I see in the drawing:

1) forehead pushed too far to the right, making him looks weirdly squished.

2) left side of the nose is too far to the right, and nose is too long/weird looking. Also the left line of the nose is way too dark, versus the less contrasting lines elsewhere in the photo

3) chin too small, producing weirdly proportioned face

4) shadow going from just above the right eye to the upper left hair far too dark. Look like a giant weird eyebrow

Other than that, I'm pretty happy. I took some drawing classes in college, but I've had quite a bit of freetime at work so I've been working on my art skills.

What are some of your critiques? Detailed critiques very much appreciated!

>>2230966
as long as you learn about why he used those colours, why did they work together it's fine.

>>2230971
>>2230980
I am trying to understand. I'm guessing that since the light is warm then the shadows are cool. I feel like the hints of red are just his style on the cloth. I'm a bit confused as to why the light on the piano is a light green though.

>>2230977
Your rendering technique's good however, as you mentioned, your proportions are off and the drawing looks slanted (might be because of the picture)
I feel like you might have not looked at the picture enough, in the sense that your eyes should be shifting between the picture and your drawing every second or so.
Did you sketch your drawing at all? I feel like you went at it too rushed.

Also next time please resize your picture.

>>2230977
>>2230988
Also it would be more fitting if you posted it here >>2229553

>>2230966

Her mouth is a bit too low, doen't be afraid of making a conventional nose adding a nostril and pit a but more detail on the lips (specifically the bottom one).

Wut.

>>2231189

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/on_a_kick
It's a common idiom.

>>2231191
Oh, yeah, didn't read it like that somehow.

>>2231194
Might have been the "an", I don't think that's grammatically correct. Originally I had wrote "an OPM kick" but then changed it in case the guy I was replying to wasn't familiar with OPM.

>>2231198
Though on the side note I've been drawing OPM stuffs since always, so it's not like it's anything new or happening just at the moment.

>>2231202
Good, the world needs more Tatsumaki cheesecake. Thank you for picking up the slack in that regard.

glad you kept the sketchy look, it just looks more engaging that way

i feel like she isnt dynamic enough for the scene in the background, and she looks kind of complacent about all the robot wars going on

i love the machinery, especially the muzzle protector

>>2231028
you should think that humans have feels m8, do some expresions, start doing these yourself, break over your sameface, you're avoiding it with closed eyes and that's cheeky

See you on tumblr!

>>2231207
>>2231277
heh i have a habit of using way too saturated colors. Thanks for the link - it was a good read, but honestly too much info to assimilate at once. I think some color studies are needed.

>>2231581
wah, it's happenin to me with the slut above your post,bleh :/
you should try to paint as I do rather than not even trying, watch a tutorial or how some ppl color their shit efficiently and take some notes to learn some Ph, then you can play with it
but yeh, keep saved that theory, it's gold, see ya

>>2231383
Ended up adding some monochrome along with a few tweaks.

>>2231349
dont like the head design especially how the eye clips over the hair thingies
also left legs connects weirdly to the torso, no pubic area

>>2231539
she looks badly sun burned

>>2231598

her left hand pinky is hella long and has an extra joint

if grotesque long fingers and toes float your goat I'll just leave you to it.

also her left upper arm is too short

>>2231220
Is it bad that I did her expression on purpose? Your comment is still true though. It rang true to the story I was telling to myself.

I put some more work into it. I hope it's an improvement.

>>2231399
Yes?

>>2231400
If that was directed to me, well joke's on you because I don't consider myself one. Anyway it's nice to know that you think I do decent things sometimes.

>>2231627
>and has an extra joint

Actually no, it's just the way I drew the back of the hand that may confuse and make it looks like there is 4th joint.

Left upper arm is in perspective.

>>2231273
shut up lefty
ill slap your shit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4akMaeZ0-k

>>2231705
the way you drew it clearly conveys a fourth joint in the finger. please the hand

>>2231705
Try to do the pose. Compare it to this.
That pinky clearly has an extra joint.

>>2231719
seconding this. There is definitely one too many in that finger.

all done

>>2231735
What are you using, how do you into those lines?

I'm in the middle of a dilemma: Should I use the pattern for her blouse or the background?

>>2231735
Been loving this since you started posting your progress, your line work is very professional and clean and I like that. I'd love to know what your process is like.

>>2231751
Background, it'd have a weird effect on the sense of form if it were used as a blouse without significant effort made to warp the pattern to fit the drapery and whatnot.

>>2231751
>>2231749

thanks, both of ya'll

process:

8x11.5in canvas
photoshop
start with broad round brush, 10px, shape dynamics off, transfer on
put new layer on top, go to round brush, 5px, shape dynamics on, transfer on
100% opacity, 100% flow

then draw, draw, draw, erase extra

>>2231753
Sorry, that was just me being lazy lol I just wanted to have an idea of what it'd look like, but I do feel like putting the pattern on her blouse would place a lot of weight on the bottom part of the drawing, so I'm gonna use it for the background.

>>2231757
Cool, thanks.
Are you gonna color it?

>>2231763

i dunno... i'm pretty shit at coloring

Alright, it's done. I'm really happy with how the colors turned out!

sundryaddams.tumblr

>>2231778
Idk man, I like it mucho more when it was a mere sketch, the rendering is not doing it for me and her chin is way too overstated.

>>2231816
the eyes feel a little too close together, and where she's looking isn't too clear. also vice versa is way too small, but that couldve just been a stylistic choice. Proportions are nice and true to the character. Good shit man

>>2231778
try making the bg blue darker.

>>2231038
...why is her leg facing that way?
also take some lines out of the crease in her boot stockings. they wouldn't be that far down her calf I don't think.

>>2231827
Sorry.. this is the rendering I had in mind from the beginning, I'll try to do something a bit more saturated and with more contrast next!

>>2231830
How's this?

Damn, that screenshot came off considerably blurry, I guess I will export the whole image instead ...

>>2231656
I was being sincere :/

>>2231658
Even after taking into account the stylization and that part of her hair is being pushed upwards?

Anyways, I will revise it. Thanks

>>2231696
It is the stylus that comes with the Note 4. It's probably the best stylus + digitizer combo I have used, the offset between the tip and the cursor is almost non existent and the pressure threshold at least on Sketchbook Pro is pretty sweet.

How do I make the lines more interesting? I feel like it looked better when it was just a sketch like this.

>>2230894

>>2231841
now my design major instincts kick in:

the background is too prominent. If I were you, I'd either shrink the flowers, or simply increase the distance between them.

>>2231846
Or if you like it as is, flatten the green on the leaves and choose a more pastelly shade. The goal I'm going for is to send it further into the background. I don't want to see the details on the leaves. I want my eyes to remain on the drawing, but the biggest issue here is that the line weights are more or less the same across the whole drawing, except the lines being more condensed and numerous on the flowers. Keeping the eye on the foreground is impossible.

>>2231846
>>2231855
How's this? I shrank the flowers and dulled their color a little, flattening the green would be a bit more challenging but I would do it if you think they really take away from the subject.

l o l

>>2231844
It's because lines gave texture, if you give it color properly it'll gain texture back

Also your linework isn't that solid yet

Scanned version. :)

>>2231896

Fuck, sorry for the image size.

>>2231860
Funny how extraordinarily better it became.

>>2231896
Bretty cool, though it looks like she dislocated her elbow

>>2231897
I generally like it. Nitpicks are what this anon said >>2231935 and also the fact that her posture looks like she's about to fall on her ass. She doesn't look balanced.

>>2231872
finish that, make the girl more moe/loli and take reference for hands

>>2231816
her left hand is weird
her lower lip is ahead of upper lip, that makes it feel like her jaw is popping out (like when you put your lower teeth of your top teeth) and that makes it uglier
her eyes, even if they're appealing, they're not proportioned with face dimensions
oh, and I guess red clothing can not repel shadows

I think you missed the gesture of the orange right arm, everything else has flow, movement lines are curved and soft, but there's a perpendicular, a marked angled that it feels, it also makes more tension there, so still not so bad (but that hand reads flat :( )
colors are fine, maybe too gaudy but that's fine, you didn't paint it that bad thbt

Line weight, line density, the way that it provides a full 3D effect despite being a 2D image without rendering, that's what he's talking about. I remember this guy talking about how he macro'd the horizontal flip to his tablet so he can constantly change the POV and make it more fleshed out and three-dimensional.

>>2232161
This one may not be the best reference though since it's a totally stylized non human character, you wouldn't exactly draw a human character the same way. Aside for the tips you gave.

i can tell you use cintiq b/c your lines are jiggly and wacom drivers are shit.

>>2232166

Not necessarily as a reference for the subject matter, but the methodology is transferable from subject to subject.

>>2231705
>Those tones.
I hope you understand that when you see something like that in manga it's because of bad scans and you just didn't want to bother with proper tones.

>>2231935

Hmmm.. thanks. I don't think it look that off, but I can think of ways it would look better indeed.

>>2231948

Yeah, it's that sort of drawing that you don't expect to "finish" but you do it anyway. It was supposed to be just a quick sketch, so I didn't look any reference for the pose. Later when inking I tried to mimic the pose and it's impossible to be like that without something to sit on. The inking was almost done by that point, so I just finished it. hehe

>>2232192
I hope you understand that beyond what you talked about it's a legit shading technique.

Sketch for today.

>>2232209
If your intentions was to make it look like she has orange peel for skin yes, otherwise it looks like he was trying to imitate shitty manga scans.

>>2232220
Except that's like, just your opinion man.

>>2232220

idk man i think its kind of endearing, i was thinking might try it myself on my next doodle

>>2232220
Noise like render for shading has been used since like ever, besides, stuff like >>2232192 is basic as fuck and way less appealing to me.

>>2232236
>Using the chalk brush to imitate shitty scanned screentones is more advanced than actually using proper screentones.

>>2232249
you jelly?

>>2232250
You out of arguments to defend your shit taste?

anyone know the tumblr of ops pic

more detailed than what i usually go for
also no hands because i am lazy

I actually went back and flattened the green, I really like how it turned out, thanks for all the help.

>>2232579
He's pretty cute anon! GJ!

>>2232598

>>2232579
Gj man. Glad you made use of me.

>>2232601
Am I incorrect in assuming the gender? I mean the first thing I thought of when seeing him/her was Leeron from TTGL. I think it's the face shape.

Mmmmmm

>>2232036
line weight, it does wonders.

>>2232211
nigga what's your blog

>>2231170
From the towergirls thread.

>>2232035
This is nice. A little off balance but I like the gesture. Also Tron Bonne is the best so there's that.

>>2231735
Now those are some lines. The bowl and platter look flat but other than that this is great.

first time attempting digital line art in years, how fix

>>2232055
Please work on your anatomy, specifically joints. The head looks like it's about to fall off and the elbows look terrible. Part of it might be that you are drawing body parts at different angles than what their surroundings suggest they should be at (ie the head looks more like a front view but is placed on the neck to the side which would result in a profile view; the shoulder to the right looks like it's far back but the way you connected it to the torso suggests that it should be in front of the body.)

>>2232696
Legs seem too short, and the lines on her chest are a bit heavy compared to everything else. Otherwise rly good

Wip.

>>2232703
i was trying to make it look like the calves were going back in space, would adding depth with the coloring fix that problem or do they just look short in general?
will fix the chest lines, thanks!

>>2232720
They're too short in general, but you're close. Unfortunately I'm in that spot where I can't get foreshortening right myself, but I know when it's wrong.

>>2231987
Stop being so negative about everything

>>2232696
Put a basic background on it so you have a feel for the perspective. Nothing special, just enough to know where she is.

How the fuck do you get more popular on Twitter? I mean, it's not like Pixiv and Tumblr where there are tags and lots of people can see your works thanks to that.

>>2232746
>it's not like Pixiv and Tumblr where there are tags
Anon...

>>2232751
You can add one or two # tags but it's limited as fuck because of the max length of each messages, don't make it looks like it's even comparable.

>>2232112
>>2232161
who are some pros to look at? Atm I'm waiting for Zeronis patreons to learn but if there are any other ways that'd be nice.

>>2232755
Then limit your message.

>>2232756
Do you seriously have no favorite artists?

>>2232579
is it just me or does it look like a trap/femboy? you look at the face and just know it would have a dick.

>>2232763

I'm looking for process videos. I can see the lines on the finished project but i wanna see how it got there. What settings etc.

I use paint tool sai so idk if that's an issue with it.

>>2232726
>>2232733
will do, thanks for the help!
>>2232579
she reminds me of the girl from Natsayuki Rendezvous, really digging the style and colors!
>>2232711
i would move the entire right side of the left knee a bit up to match the length of the other leg. the left side of that knee is higher so it's making the knee look droopy. otherwise nice lines on the body and cute cute

>>2232764
It's definitely not just you!

>>2232780
>she

Question:

I am trying to develop my drawing skills again and I am practicing working on a drawing without stopping or erasing anything that isn't a blaring error to me.

It's bee tough going and I wanted to know if there were any other artists out there that do the same thing, I'd like to look off of their works for practice.

>>2232790
It's just a matter of ghosting and not starting with the darkest, broadest lines

Another character from my project.

>>2232790
Many artist practice it, but since it's practice most people don't show off their work with it.
Get cheap ball point pens and practice using that.

Kim Jung Gi is probably an artist you would be interested in.

>>2232746
only the first five tags on tumblr go into the big main sitewide search engine

>>2232800
naburo

Tried to put some color. can't say it looks good

>>2232821

I don't get it.

>>2232598

Lol they can be whatever gender you guys want them to be, how many tumblr points do I get for that?

>>2232780
>she reminds me of the girl from Natsayuki Rendezvous, really digging the style and colors!
I never got the chance to finish that anime but that's the style I'm going for, I'm glad it reads that way! Thank you!

>>2232876

and i already see a problem in my perspective, woopsie

i'll fix that

>>2232168
He uses an intuos3 m8

playin around
trying to combine a bit of manga w/ western animation
clothes are a bit whatever because whatever

posted this in beginner thread; anon suggested to come here.

thoughts? advice?

Inspired by >>2231735 to try out line art again, I feel like it's passable but sterile somehow.

>>2232694
thanks.

>>2232950
Lacks form and construction. Feels like you were going for an animation wipe sort of look, but it just comes off as mushy.

Tried some uncanny valley shit

>>2232985
thanks for the input! i was going for that kind of look. could you elaborate on what you meant by 'mushy'?

should i focus on planning out forms better next time i try to do dynamic-looking stuff?

side question: are the shadows and coloring alright? i feel like something's wrong with the shadows on the left arm but i just don't know how to fix it.

>>2232994
Sans the uncanny valley part your description is spot on

Digital painting of a sketch I did earlier. It might not look like much...

>>2233004
...but it's better than pic related, which I posted here around 7 months ago.

>>2233003
Why is everyone so horrible to eachother on this board?

>>2233005
>on the hands

>>2233000
by mushy, again, I mean there's no form. I'm not sure if he's swinging or just has a big arm. Aside from foreshortening, the gesture is bad. Seriously, throw a punch right now, observe the twist as you reach forward. No one just swings down, there's no momentum. It kills the movement you are going for.

The values are ok aside from some errors on the forehead and farthest arm; the colors are ok, they're no really your concern at the moment though. Work on drawing.

>>2232994
Don't talk down your own work, if you don't like it then don't post it. There's no shame in keeping it to yourself. If you want help, ask. However if you're not posting it for any kind of critique it's obnoxious to do so.

>>2233003
No h8

>>2233004
>>2233005
I'm sorry, you've only made a lateral move at best. Forget about painting, get a handle of drawing first.

>>2233000
He's saying it looks like the inbetween frame of an animation, y'know the bits where it's almost just a blur? That's what he means by mushy.

>>2233009
Haha I don't mind. The people who just say IT'S SHIT always suck themselves.

>>2233011
Oh I wasn't talking down on it at all; I was trying an anime drawing with more realistic rendering, which is a very hard line to get right. It came out better than I expected it to, but I always appreciate critique.

>>2233011
Really bruh? I only really started trying to improve around when summer first started. I'd say it's a decent improvement for that short amount of time.

>>2233020
Sure, it looks nicer, but it's still a really shit drawing. You said you're drawing to improve, not just for fun, so stay away from rendering/painting until your figures don't look deformed. There the old saying "polishing a turd", which is where you spend time rendering a fundamentally flawed drawing, which you don't want to be doing.

>>2233019
Ok, well, watch the spacing on the eyes then.

>>2233020
I am dead serious, the only change I can see is maybe influences. It's deficient in every way. I'm only being this blunt because you wanna learn.

I made this for a friend, any feedback?

(I'm also terrible at anatomy, that's why I only drew the head)

>>2233027
Maybe if I did better linework it would look less shit?

>>2233030
That's a cute blob with glasses.

>>2233032
Better line work comes from better drawing.

>>2231844
K so I tried again with the line work. Did I improve?(I feel like I did). How can I make it even better?

>>2233011
>>2233013
alright, thanks! this was helpful. i'll come back here more often; feels like /ic/ is the only place left where i can get actual advice.

>>2233050
You'll get half good advice and half baseless abuse, so keep a thick skin lol

Rip me a big one.

>>2232908
had a bit more time to waste.
have some color

A few faces for practice

>>2230224
How old is this character supposed to be? Right looks like a child, left looks like an adult (but still cute)

>>2233047
The hair needs some more attention. The lack of variation in length combined with the sheer number of spikes makes it look really unnatural. Doxy has a pretty good tutorial on this called "Feature Distribution" I think.

>>2233064
I like it, hands seems a bit big to me but I guess muh style so whatever.

>>2230151
I just can't figure out how to make lighting look good/consistent like op's image. Any help would be much appreciated

>>2233064
Loving this. Reminds me of Astro Boy.

I have one but it's not all that great yet. Thanks for asking though.

>>2230224
Right-side but with slightly bigger eyes.
They're too small currently and it gives a kind of alien-like impression.

>>2233132
nigga, start gathering followers asap. Don't wait to put yourself out there until you're good. You'll disappear in the mountain of good people.

Start now.

>>2233135
I am asked for my blog a lot on here but I don't know what sort of art I want to make yet so I don't want to mislead people. I mean I imagine that people ask for your blog becuase they want to see more of the same kind of art from you. But the truth is I don't have a consistent art style yet and change how I draw from month to month. That's kind of why I hesitate to give my blog to people.

>>2233137
Let the viewer be the judge of that
please post your blog anon

>>2233144
It took me a while to get where I am but I'm a stagnant idiot that doesn't draw nearly enough studies to compensate for my mindless doodles. You could probably get from about beginner to my level or better in a year (probably less) if you actually tried and just did a fuck ton of gestures and life drawing.

Oh you poor thing, copying and pasting that link must have been really difficult.

>>2233206
I don't mean to sound like I'm whining. I just know that my blog is inconsistent and didn't want to waste anyone's time

>>2233212
Inconsistent blogs are what /ic/ is all about though

>>2233127

So its true that people adopt this pseudo disney style because they actually don't want to bother looking at anatomy

>>2233071
i love these

>>2233287
Pretty good. probably doing something complex that way would be a pain in the ass though

>>2232042
What book is this?

>>2232826
Dude why is the cranium tapering like that? From where you've indicated the end of the jaw the top of should be much wider, the hair is literally like inside where the OUTSIDE of the skull should be.

wiat what? inst it the opposite? big eyes = alien?

if I streamed would anyone want to come in and watch, work and chat with me?

let me know, i'll fire it up

>>2233421
It's just my opinion and I know you did it because of perspective/foreshortening but I think you have shrunk the hands a tad too small

>>2233421
i like the artstyle pls put up some more...

>>2233443
Now that I look at it, the hands does look too small.

>>2233421
knees are way too flat for the viewing angle and incorrectly shaped. I tested the position in the mirror and while it's possible to have the feet at that angle, it's not relaxed at all/ requires flexing. cute drawing otherwise tho.

Yes for me anyway. Don't get me wrong, I snap to my senses and do studies like once a week but between work, television and video games I just don't do them consistently enough.
