/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Incoming bitching.

>>2277577
this is by far the best pic in the op that i've ever seen
the artist has got to be given by god himself the talent of michealangelo to be able to create such a masterpiece
i cried tears when i see this thank you so much artist unknown

>>2277577
I honestly don't care if the OP is good or bad or mediocre as long it's not from the same exact artist every single time, variety is nice

>>2277582
i know right? and the artist is good as well so theres no harm in the process

Left, right, or middle. Which do you like the most?
You also say none.

>>2277591
Middle is the least terrible.
Third is very bad.

>>2277591
1st fits this type of proportions the best, imo

>>2277591
left, far right will be in my nightmares tonight.

>>2277591
Feel like middle made to more closely mirror left stylistically and proportionally would be good, just for dem middle legs.

i want to do pictures of some characters i like having smex. The thing is i want them to interact with my own characters or maybe make them act in a way they wouldnt. Will the fandoms shit on me for this ?

>>2277639
>Will the fandoms shit on me for this
who gives a shit? Do what you want

>>2277639
worst case scenario you get yelled at on tumblr until you kill yourself.
They're gonna shit on you for drawing porn anyway, what difference does it make?

>>2277639
>Will the fandoms shit on me for this ?
You'll get shit on for porn, period.
OCs will only provoke laughter.
Only thing you can do is make your shit so hot that they will be too busy fapping,

WHAT CHARACTERS, I have my reaction images ready.

>>2277580
shut the fuck up miku fag

>>2277678
go die mikufag hater
hes the top 5 best artist in /ic/ alongside kyle, firez and keppok

>>2277683
Get rekt mikufag even that Nip from /pol/ told you to fuck off back to fundamentals.

http://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/55106535/#55111987

>>2277690
you can tell from the /pol/ shitposting that this faggot over here is mikufag himself shilling his work

>>2277591
I bet you're the same guy that drew fat women with boxes as heads.

I fucking used black to shade, I drew on top of the fucking sketch layer, but meh I drew boobs

Whats wrong with the structure? Tell what else I FUCKING screwed up

>>2277725
>those fucking colors/that green
eeych

head structure looks fucked the most
try copying the loomis head step by step
(note that I don't usually scream loomis, I use him because he gives easy steps on drawing faces)
if you need to learn how to copy then look at the sticky and keep practicing

>>2277705
the one who tried to draw cUte chubbs?

>>2277725
Here, I fixed it

>>2277690
>>2277704
>she is more soulless then a fucking boxed sushi from family mart

yo DAMN!

>>2277591
you're trying to draw shortstacks aren't you? I believe you asked about them awhile back

>>2277784
All you did was make her more uguuu.

>>2277846
Hey now

>>2277853
?

>>2277853
you're a rock star

>>2277833
That's just Weeb.
This is Uguuu.

still don't know what I'm doing wrong with this whole construction thing

I don't quite understand what is happening in that top panel, doesn't read well

>>2277889
top panel, her head is really tiny and she's got man hands

>>2277882
I know your art from somewhere...
Do you have a blog?

>>2277888
That womb looks hella weird.

Work on your internal anatomy.

>>2277888
This womb x-ray makes no sense.

>>2277889
hands are fine, legs look a bit short tho, especially from such a low angle

>>2277888
x-ray looks wonky, mostly the outside lines look too hard, might not be able to work around that with the current b&w line style. also, the dick is noticeably smaller than in >>2277889, not that it matters too much.

I don't think I'm gonna 100% finish this idea. Might as well get my shit kicked in a bit with it. What're the biggest problems we got here? Wanted the perspective to be kinda lowered but i didn't quite made it there.

I just realized now how horrible my image was, tried to tweak the levels in photoshop but it didn't do much. I'll upload a new sheet in a while

>>2278231
looks pretty lazy, honestly
I hope you're making money so you can afford to not give a shit about what you make.

>>2277889
i would kill myself if i had to draw niggers on blondes.

>>2278262
You wouldn't do it not even for a scooby snack?

>>2278262
I'm not white or black, so I feel pretty neutral about it.

>>2278231
You should make the monster guy brown, desu senpai

>>2278241
>>2278290
Thank you so much. I'm trying to get better and overcome laziness.

>>2278290
Dommsday isn't brown...

What do you guys say when the stream is over? Like do you thabk them or just say bye or just go and say nothin?

>>2278376
I thank you for watching and it was a real pleasure letting me be something to indulge I hope it was a treat and happy fapping.

>>2278376
this >>2278383 and mention when you are going to stream again, date, time, timezone.

I am trying to fulfill a request on /e/ for practice, and have a rough sketch down. issue I am having is wrapping my head around her hair swoop on her left (as in her left). This is the Bikini Warriors Mage. Sorry I am quite new to drawing so.

Anyone have any ideas? Providing character below.

>>2278417

>>2278220
Why not show them your homepage, Sergi? Or maybe that porncomic site you always submit to, you know the one with the paywall? You live and work in a trailer I'm sure there is a post it note some where with that information

>>2277846

>>2278438
why is she naked

>>2278417
You don't know what you are doing. Become a resident to the beginner thread before taking on requests for your own good.

>>2278441
this is the porn thread.

>>2278441

>>2277577
god, mikufag finally gets the attention he deserves.

>>2277846
those fucking lines..
>it'l take years to reach this..

>>2278441
why are we born naked?

>>2278438
why the fivehead

>>2278591
i like fiveheads.

>>2278725
why do you like genetically inferior hairlines?

>>2278873
a fivehead isn't the same thing as a receding hairline.

>>2278906
true, a receding hairline was once a good hairline. but a fivehead is a hairline that has never and will never achieve any sort of glory.

>>2278425
Cyka blyat I'm not a "sergi"

>>2278438
forehead is FIVEhead but overall the image is gorgeous

I want to see Firez post again.
I don't look here often, but I want to see where that goes.
I want to see more.
I genuinely and truly want to see where that goes.

Also: does anyone know why StickySheep's is blog kaput?

>>2278987
fuck I'm retarded.

>>2278873
the same reason why people like genetically inferior hair colors?

>>2278987
>StickySheep

Literally who?

>>2277577
I've found out I do better dead tired for some reason. Lowered tolerance to shitty drawing, maybe?

without the drama these threads are just not the same :(

>>2277577
Come the fuck on mods and janitors, if you're not going to delete this shit from anywhere else at least enforce it when these bastards set it as an op pic. I don't want to see this bullshit when I'm scrolling through the catalogue and my fucking phone won't keep the filter unless I never closer the browser and I'm not keeping it open and eating up my data. Why do you even have the rule of you're not going to enforce it, fuck.

>>2279286

different anon, doesnt the OP look like a loli?

Alright lads, I'm requesting help on behest of my friend.

The first image is his work thus far. He's been told that the arm isn't connected properly to the body and looks janky in some places.

The second image is me trying to convey how to properly attach the arm in the position he drew it, as well as trying to show him how breasts are affected by gravity as well as (poorly) attempting to tackle some perspective issues.

The third image is him trying to construct the body and his thoughts on how he intended it to look, as well ass adjusting the breasts to incorporate weight to them.

I'm afraid I'm not fully capable of addressing some of the issues in this image, and I'm wondering if any of you here can help with your own input on how to correctly portray this pose.

>>2279733
>that arm
stop fixing things

>>2279654
looks nice but waaaaaaaaay too old.

>>2279624
Alright.
>>2279651
Wut?

>>2279733
i need his tumblr pls

>>2279738
what do you mean too old

>>2279736
Can you show me what's wrong with it?

>>2279729
i don't have one.

>>2279731
you have a thing for painted nails?

>>2279907
>those strings of skin stretching between the pelvis and the dick
why would you do that?

>>2279926
in his reality anything can happen

>>2279907
Is it horse cock or some monster cock?

>>2279974
>band half way
its a horse cock. learn your dicks anon!

>>2279974
it looks like some kind of monster cock but yeah those skin strips are really distracting

>>2279987
You dont got to say shit about dicks when you cant even draw a real girl cunt

>>2279607
blog?

>>2279857
I just think it's very cute and brings character, and love it when artists actually draw the damn nails on the characters.

>>2279654
you're getting pretty good, where is your gallery?

>>2279654
Cutest gym ball.
Also, neat lines you got there. Blog please?

>>2279396
Yeah lol.

>>2279781
Not that anon, but you've drawn the lateral head of the deltoid as though it's attaching into the origin of the bicep, when in reality it's further down at the brachialis. If you supinate your hand you're not going to see your side delt attaching into the top of your bicep, are you?

>>2280254
Had some time for a redline, hopefully this helps a bit

>>2279733

Unrelated to the arm anatomy, but you should tell him that for the position her head is in it should be farther forward (relative to her). The skull is not gyroscopic - it helps to think of the head as a lightbulb attached to a gooseneck fixture. Also her right trapezius appears to be absent.

dead thread?

>>2280596
guess the trolls scared the good artists away

>>2280599
what good artists?

>>2280599

>>2280599
Mikufag's still here. Thank god he know how to deal with trolls.

Yeah, I hadn't actually used my tablet in a couple weeks.

>>2281139

The heart.

>>2280599

Standard fare.
/ic/ is in a constant state of shit to mid range artists because as soon as you git gud people actually recognize you and immediately target you for maximum shitpost value.

>>2281150
That's bullshit. Lots of great artists still posts here. BBC-chan still posts his OG art and got creds.
The one's running away are the shit ones nobody likes.

vagin

>>2281169
Looks pretty good, though I can't make heads or tails of the contruction on her right leg, you should draw through with shots like that.

I haven't been practicing much porn lately, but I drew a slutty dwarf from World of Warcraft doing dirty things. I didn't use any reference, and I was trying out some different style techniques in each doodle, to varying degrees of success IMO. Whaddaya think?

>>2277577
>sexualizing the squid
STOP

>>2281188
No.

>>2281169
Why do your faces always have next to no real features at all?

>>2281200
no one wants to draw tumblr style

>>2281202
What does proper face construction have to do with tumblr? Not knowing how to properly construct faces is something Keppok has in common with the rest of tumblr.

>>2279747
>owl
Look at her neck.
Now look at her head.
Now look at her body.
Now look at how fucking far her head is turned around, compared to the angle of her body.

Owl/broken neck syndrome.

When you draw cute anime faces, less is more.

I keep rushing things near the end

>>2281169

Are you kidding, that shit ain't clean.

>>2281384
>Are you kidding, that shit ain't clean.
it is compared to mine.
You're forms are clearly defined since there are so few lines, it looks very clean in my opinion. Im jelly

>>2281386
well shucks.
Thanks you.

>>2281387
You convey foreshortening really well too. keep up the good work
thick ladies arent my thing, but i respect your ability as an artist.

>>2281357
I think you're attaching the legs too high, perhaps looking at how/where the pelvic bone sits I'm the body would help you get more pleasing proportions ?

>>2281398
In not I'm. I'm tired.

>>2277877
Update, not quite finished

>>2281326
it looks more like a crutch.

>>2281384
at least you don't deny it.

>>2281565
so you basically cannot into stylization, ha?

>>2281673
>mah style

It's called a crutch anon and it doesn't do anything but limit you and make your work shallow and boring.

>>2281692
Get back to painting fruitbowls and drawing dragons and space marines.

>>2281692
thanks for proving my point

>>2281698
Nice projecting

>>2281699
Stylization can be a crutch and in this case, it is. It typically is for amateur weebshit artists.

>>2281714
stop posting bullshit, if you have nothing useful to say.

>>2281716
>"useful" = things I want to hear
Nice delusion.

>>2281716
>this mad

Keep being incompetent and using "mah style" as the excuse. You sound like a dA turd.

>>2281169
why big girls tits coming out of her neck?

>>2281735
Because "mah style", anon.

someone knows any tutorial to paint like pic related? it must be pretty simple really, but I'm a begginer in digital coloring.

>>2281740
Look into cel-shading.

>>2281749
thanks!

>>2281357
disgusting, all of it

>>2281673
Style is a choice, not an excuse.

>>2281721
it would be a useful post if it wasn't just an opinion tier rant, that didn't give ANY advice AT ALL.

>>2281724
try harder.

>>2281922
I'm pretty sure Keppok draws like that because she chooses to do so, not because she couldn't draw in a more "realistic" way. So, yeah, I believe it is a choice, not an excuse.

>>2282108
>try harder.
No need, you make this pretty easy.

>I believe it is a choice
>I believe
Maximum kek.

>>2281749
What is that tumor like mass on the end of her tongue supposed to be

>>2282119
You know everything I post on these porn threads and my nsfw tumblr is sexy anime babes, right? I duno where you get off saying I have no choice in the matter, lol. It's obvious that you're just here to hate on me. But really, should I even expect critique from /ic/?


The faces I draw are just what I find to be the cutest. It seems to really bother you, because you've been arguing with this anon for a while now.

>>2281357
Why are you spending time doing figure lineups before you have an idea of basic proportion? Pic related fucking learn that shit and stop wasting your time.

>>2282180
What kind of program/brush settings are you using to get those kinds of lines?

Post again, the face needs redoing. Not going to do these lines this way again..

>>2282319
Gonna take a guess here and say SAI.
I could be wrong though.

>>2282319
I'm using CSP/MS5.

The brush was in one of frenden's manga studio's packs. it's called "Painterly block in bristle".

brush width was 14pt.

If you have Manga Studio, I can upload the brush file. Most people I talk to don't use it, so...

Alright /ic/, didn't even know your board existed until today. Really glad it does...
Decided to pick up my tablet for the first time in five years and try drawing something again, because I want to get good at it.
All I have to work with is Photoshop, and a wacom. I'm amateur with both.

This is what I have done so far. I'd appreciate any critiques on the anatomy, and suggestions on improving.

P.S. noses suck.

>>2282411

good lord what have you done

that nose is literally the only thing in the picture that isnt complete shit but you got lucky

>>2282416
You mean like the rule #2?

"Only constructive criticism will be accepted. Rude or offensive comments will result in a ban."

But thank you for letting me know there's a beginner's thread.

>>2282426
fuck you.

I got to give her double horsecocks, where should they go?

>>2282538
Just a few suggestions.
The position of her left arm suggests that she's lying on the ground, but her tits say otherwise. Plus her left forearm is a bit too long.

It's been, like, a year or something since the last time I drew some porn. Suddenly got a kick to get into it again.

Probably gonna post some more soon??

>>2282557

>>2282376
it's a .sut, right? Link it!

>>2282582
it's not like it's magically going to make you a better artist.

>>2282598
is that how you think?

>>2282598
Everybody knows that, anon. To deny the role tools can play is stupid, though. They won't make anybody better but they can provide insight on the problems the artist faces and help you produce nicer looking strokes and lines, even if you're a scrub who can't arrange them.

How to Draw human dicks: Veins edition

I finally deliver. Part 5 covers an elaboration on veins. I was shorter on material this time but thankfully I had a quite a few things to say this time.

Beyond that, there has been a problem. Part 6 originally was going to cover cum(shots), not balls as some of you may have suspected. I have over 60 illustrations of cum for that in fact.

...unfortunately the illustrated cum may not be that useful actually. Consider that there really isn't anything anatomical I can cover and that its going to be different then doing it digitally. I don't know how to proceed here. I'll have to draw like 30+ balls from scratch if I change the subject.

But anyways, here's my tumblr where you can find the rest of the tutorials (I need a place to dump by stuff, any suggestions?) :
http://arkomeda.tumblr.com/

And enjoy

2

>>2282890
>>2282891
amazing Ark, since the balls are actually part of the whole unit I would got with that, you'd be surprise at the people who know how to draw a good penis can't do the balls right like: just drawing a literal ball connected under the scrotum etc.

personally I would be interested in the cumshots too I don't think they have to be part of the main tutorial but they could just be on their own or maybe an extra added to the end of the penis tut since you've already spent time on them

thanks again I really love these i'm glad you're so close to finishing these have been really helpful and insightful thus far

>>2282538
>I got to give her double horsecocks, where should they go?
armpit fucking.

Hey guys, I'm not coming on this thread often but there was a guy drawing lolis last time (he seemed to have some recognition) and I wondered if there was a place where I could find archives of his drawings.

There also were some bullshit about his work being used as OP pic

>>2283098
I think I know who you're talking about you little slut.

>>2283115
>what if Mikufag actually knew how to draw.

>>2283115
Yeah that's him (I guess, looks very much like what I remember), thanks for the pic. I love the little details and bones (even if the picture I remember had more bones).

And I'm not even a lolicon but strangely those bones...

>>2283122
Yeah I found the picture I was talking about. Would be great if someone knew his blog or something, but now that I have some material I'll try google reverse search and all, thanks.

I've been burned out for a few years now. If you look through my old posts, you'll mostly see me whining about not drawing enough.

It's really frustrating. I love drawing, but I just end up pissing away the hours for absolutely no reason. Every few months I get a bit of energy and spend 8-10 hours a day drawing, and it's genuinely enjoyable. But I can never focus enough to actually finish anything. Then I just burn out again. I've got thousands of half-finished pictures that's never going to see the light of day, unless I somehow grow a spine and actually find a way to deal with this shit.

Also, posting picture so I'm not mistaken for the troll.

>>2283250
You were talking about "feeling like you're late" or something, I was interested...

Is it like "feeling like you've got better things to do than draw, so you don't draw, but you end up not doing the better things to do either" or am I mistaken

>>2283232
>Fucking Mikushit is at it again.

Half of the times I have no idea what's going on but somehow I get the blame for something I don't do kek

>>2283250
I'm quickly getting to that point and I don't know how to avoid getting burned out like that.

>>2283250
Well, people will trow money for your scetches. You're already in better place

>>2283264
Well, yes, that's part of it. If I have two important things to do and I start doing one, I feel like I should be doing the other, so I often end up doing neither.

It's entirely illogical, and the simple answer is "just do it", but that obviously doesn't work.
I almost wish I could go join the military for a year, and just be told what to do and build some discipline. It would be like a vacation.

>>2283273
I hate loving your sketches, can't get enough of it.

Yeah the military part ring a bell but it might be far from what one would expect, not that I ever experimented it.

How old are you if that's not indiscreet?

>>2283278
I'd rather not give a number, but I'm a bit older than the average person here. I also have a STEM degree, so money isn't an issue.

>>2283281
Oh yeah, just having this kind of indication will do. Must be hard being kind of "lost" when you've already graduated. I wish you good luck.

>>2283250
>>2283273

It sounds like you just need to build a habit.
Schedule a time to start and as soon as the time comes you practice.

>tfw I just lost a client to some guy in Mexico because he does everything half price my price.


hold me.

>>2283293
he probably needs that money more than you do to be honest senpai san

>>2283293
Why don't you just do it cheaper.

>>2283296
"He needs it more" doesn't make anyone less salty about goddamn mexiniggers stealin muh jobs, anon.

>>2283293
Have you confirmed this for yourself or did your client say "Wow too expensive I got this guy in mexico as good as you that only asked for half that" ?

desu, i like the energy of your pencils compared to your inks. a little tighter on the pencils and the stylization works.

>>2283282
Thanks. On paper, my life is pretty good. If I could just muster up the energy to live like a normal person, my life would be perfectly balanced in a matter of a few weeks. There's really nothing for me to overcome but my own perceived lack of iniative, which is why I hate complaining.

>>2283288
I've tried. I can usually keep it up for a few weeks, then I get stressed out because I'm not following the schedule. I'm wondering if I just need a huge break. Like traveling somewhere for a few months and just working out and hiking. Whatever I've been doing hasn't been working.

>>2283308
dem bellies

>>2283308
>then I get stressed out because I'm not following the schedule

This is really common. You'll miss a day and go "Welp, fucked up." and feel like shit because of it.

You need to catch yourself when you start thinking that way. It's hard and it sucks. Changing the way you think is probably the hardest single thing anyone can do, but it can be done by anyone.

>>2283308
You sound like a gigantic faggot why do you bitch and moan about nothing how fucking difficult is it to finish something and keep a fucking schedule?

>>2283313
You can stop coddling him now he needs to pull his own fucking weight.

>>2283314
If I had an answer, I wouldn't be bitching and moaning.

>>2283317
I'm not coddling. I'm just saying what needs to be done to fix the problem. Up to them to do it.

serious question, have you considered getting tested for ADD anon?

dude I'm already doing it as cheap as it is.

>>2283301
> Yes, this client was a regular of mine. He has been steady commissioning me since July 2015. He messaged me the other day that he was going to stop ordering from because he has found a cheaper artist.

>>2283370
>serious question, have you considered getting tested for ADD anon?

I did. To be honest, I was fishing for the diagnosis and got put on Ritalin. It works great the first few days, but then the effect just drops to almost nothing, while the side effects increase.
I also noticed that it fucks with my memory.

>>2283372
>He messaged me the other day that he was going to stop ordering from because he has found a cheaper artist.

This could still be a bluff. Like, maybe he wants more art from you but can't afford it and hopes you will lower your prices. Scumbags do shit like that all the time.
Regardless, don't take it to heart. You were obviously making money from what you had priced before. That guy, if he does exist, is probably selling himself short or maybe is actually worse than you.
Don't let one lost client get you down! There will always be more. And if there isn't, just study and improve more.

>>2283378
>>2283308
by "old", i hope you're not talking about your twenties.

as someone in a similar situation art wise, i can tell you that it comes down to resolve. if you don't really need to practice then you won't, and that's all there really is to it. basically: how important is art to you? do you REALLY even need to get decent at it? looking at your post, i can see why you don't have any resolve to commit to this.

i used to go in cycles where i would draw for weeks and then take a break that would go on for weeks as well, similar to what you're describing. now i realized it really is just about how much you want and actually NEED this.
oh another thing, try doing a small project, and try doing it as fast as you can, since you may lose motivation quickly.

on a side note, i hoped to grow cleaner and more orderly (art wise) as i grow older. it hasn't happened yet but you revealing that you're older makes me slightly hopeful heh.

>>2283378
Maybe try switching meds? I did better on Adderall than Ritalin. Also, maybe give a look into nootropics? L-theanine seems to let you down from the 'crash' way more gently.

>noticed that it fucks with my memory

yeaahhh ritalin tends to have more side effects than adderall desu

>Adderall
I asked. It's almost impossible to get where I live. I also doubt it would work, given how stimulants tend to make me jittery and on edge.

>>2283395
It's important enough that I spent several years doing almost nothing but drawing when I was younger, despite improving very slowly.
I wonder if I'm just genuinely burned out, given the enormous amount of singleminded focus I've given this hobby. Even in recent years, when I've been pissing away time, I've been doing in while trying to motivate myself to draw.

Another theory I have is that I have dysthymia, which is a chronic form of mild depression. I'm not sad or suicidial, just numb, constantly on edgy and almost incapable of enjoying anything.

>>2283402
Of course not. I'd kill for his lines and sense of form.

>>2283405
Shit. Well your art is wonderful anon so I hope you get better soon.

>>2283404
>It's important enough that I spent several years doing almost nothing but drawing when I was younger, despite improving very slowly.
i did that too, do you think that means anything?
in fact, ask yourself: are you sure you're not drawing only because you already spent such a long time on it? maybe it would be a waste to stop?
if so, that would be a pretty weak reason for motivating you. again, it all comes down to resolve.

do you really need it? or is it just a nice thing to have, along with all the other things in your life?
do you actually want bigheadlolifags sense or would it only be a nice skill to have in your repertoire?

iirc i asked you once wether you were planning to do comics or illustration with this, and you said you didn't know, do you still not know?
i hope your goal isn't as vague as just "gettin gud"

join a group or something, seeing others do art can make you want to keep up as well.

Since when was /ic/ /adv/?

Shut up, draw, post art, or post critique.

I'm not even that anon but whatever. Keep trying anon. Lolifag might want to be your friend. :^)

>>2283451
I admire that you have such a good shitposting skills :^)

you're all replying to the salty spic bitch from /pol/. :^)

>>2283415
There's really no point in trying to question my dedication to drawing, and I don't really think I'm going to find some life changing revelation on 4chan.

As for what I want to use it for, it could be anything. I've considered comics and would likely do one if I somehow gained the self-discipline to go through with it. Concept art would be fine or just drawing whatever the hell I want. Overall, I just want to draw.

I also think this guy is right: >>2283417

While I appreciate the comments, I didn't really come here for advice, and this isn't the thread for it.

*traumatic junior high flashbacks*

> Composition

Looking for some thoughts on which one to proceed with and clean up.

Obviously anatomy wasn't looked at too closely...

Again. Looking to see which of these have good compositions to work with.

Guys how many comissions do you think the popufurs get in an average month?? Because their queues seem to fill up in 30 minutes. It's fucking crazy.

>>2283613
>Obviously anatomy wasn't looked at too closely...
It's obvious from the sketches that you don't have a good grasp for anatomy and perspective. As I told you before, stop focusing on advanced stuff like composition and first learn some fucking fundamentals.

>>2283402
that's nice

>big hands syndrome is a serious illness

>>2283661
>>2283663
can these results achievable through traditional means?

>>2283743
Why not. I guess it's just a matter of traditional inking and penciling being more time consuming, because you can't "cheat" with digital aids and tools (like resize, undo etc.).

>>2283661
That guy's face is pretty static. Doesn't even look like he's enjoying it as much as his hand implies.

His lower body also makes no sense. We can see how far up his torso and abs are, which means he either has a midget's torso or those legs and peen belongs to someone else. The lower portion looks unattached from the torso.

>>2283663
Then fix the big hand, damn.

>>2283760
Nah, damn, I am drawing these with no post correction at all trying to be as fast as possible, damn. I'm primarily trying to improve my style, damn. If I see errors after inking, I don't correct them, damn, I just take them into account for future endeavors.

Also, thanks for the errors spotting.

D-damn.

>>2283762
shitstorm incoming

I love pear shape women, so naturally I tried to draw one but in came shitty, any critiques are welcome.

>>2283772
I don't know, man. I mean, how about trying to learn to draw first and then draw pear shaped women?

I still wanna draw them bootylicious pear women, but when you say learn to draw first , what do you mean? I still wanna draw them, but I guess more studying is needed, which is a problem because frankly I dont know how to study, I been drawing for a year now but I still suck and have made zero improvement, so any help on how to properly study woukd be gladly appreciated.

>>2283772
Okay so....

> The head is way too large for the body. The idea is on average the shoulders are two head lengths wide. Even for women.

> The breasts feel a little flat, in fact a lot of your forms come across like this.

> you probably didn't get a sense of the underlying forms. Do more construction drawings in perspective, cylinders, spheres, ect.

> hands seem too small. They're poorly constructed, don't do what I sometimes do and just leave things obscured and hope people won't notice. They will.

>>2283623
I didn't take the time to go over anatomy on these. They were done in like a couple minutes each. I was looking to make a good composition, then go back and work out the perspective and anatomy.

>>2283214
The face stylisation is creepy, but your forms are good. However I would avoid pillow shading.

>>2283804
>but I guess more studying is needed
that's exactly what I meant.
