Dear whiny bitches,

This is a thread where people post whatever they just drew, mostly things you wont dare post anywhere else due to its low quality or because of its insignificance.

For amazing works of art please direct your attention to the generals.

Thank you and please bitch somewhere else.

im sorry that your art sucks OP

sorry you're a bitch :^)

>All that shitposting
>No one actually posts drawings

Here you go, I know it's not great but it was just some shitty sketch I did when I was bored when I was studying.
Lantern is supposed to be hanging on a chain attached to the broken limb.

Not drawn in past hour but seeing the amount of shitposting I don't think you'll mind desu senpai.

>>2294046
shitposting is the ice breaker of these threads.
It happens ever since the first one.

Also, complaining about the op pic does nothing since the OP has to provide his own work rather than posting works from other people in the past thread.

If you think you're a better artist than the OP, think faster the next time these threads hit the bump limit.

Deus Vult/10

Fuck off Achmed

Since it's hard for me to just draw freely, I'm trying a themed sort of thing. The idea here is that I'm sort of coming up with characters that would appear in a fighting game. I'm not fully designing them, just trying to picture characters and get myself drawing interesting shapes, maybe I could flesh out designs for some of them later. So I would really like feedback on these, as I think this will help me start thinking more creatively and push me to draw more interesting poses and such.

Drew this under twenty minutes, used some references, also moltar's mouthpiece is the only part I used anything other than pencil. It should be noted this is one of my first times seriously drawing. Criticism would be greatly appreciated.

>>2294192
Read the sticky and study fundamentals instead of copying memes on the internet.
If you want to get good/better, anyway.

>>2293917
Wouldnt this belong in /i/?

>>2293917
i dont know why but i dont really draw anymore i just do cd covers and shit without really printing them for use or selling those

>>2294147
They look pretty good, anatomy wise. Mind showing how you start off your poses?

>>2294147
middle girls left shoulder..

>>2293917
Not trying to shit on you m8 but the OP image should be something that looks exceptional or just text. Please next time remember this.

>>2294229
Thank you, anon. Showing the process is a little tricky, I like drawing all on one layer so usually I've erased the early stages by this point, as in the case of those drawings, but I have some wips saved from another thing I've been working on, so gimme a little bit and I'll put those together. I also did something slightly different with these because I was trying to go for a cleaner look but I think it translates still about the same.
>>2294231
Yes? I have a lot of trouble with shoulders so it's difficult for me to catch if anything's wrong. Is it jutting out too far or something?

>>2294046
My god that's horrible.

>>2294275

quality photo inc when done, like 9 more poses to go

>>2294277
White is very powerful anon, I suggest to use it on tints of pure white, otherwise it's overwhelming, change up your values and shift the mid value to the brighter parts, as well as contrast such as a dark value surrounding a mid tone will give it a much brighter value/highlight

Save how much highlight you use

>>2294277

>>2294229
okay so here's vaguely the process I go through. I added step one because I didn't actually save a wip of that, but a lot of times I go for defining a gestural line, then start filling in forms and correcting as I go. I didn't do as much construction on the doodles because like I said I wanted something cleaner, but I'm also challenging myself to draw more intuitively.

>>2293917

>>2294293
Awesome, thank you!

>>2294293
thats pretty sexy, props

>>2294302
You're welcome, and thanks for asking. I hope it helps out in some way. Thanks for your feedback too btw, I've been totally ignored for the past 3 threads lol.
>>2294305
Thanks anon! I want to finish this but I've hit a snag with rendering her face, may have to repaint it. Maybe someday I'll actually be able to post the finished one.

>>2294306
I mostly lurk here but I liked how you did the poses so I was curious about your process. I'm not at a skill level to critique you very well though, but in my opinion I think the face is rendered nicely.

>>2294311
Oh no no, those wips are outdated, the face doesn't really look like that anymore, I did more painting and shading and such. But I didn't really know what I was doing and I kind of messed some things up, so I'll probably just have to paint it again. So yeah either way don't worry about critiquing that one, but I still appreciate it!

Started remaking my first portrait from almost 3 years ago.

>>2294219
>copying memes on the internet
Spaceghost isnt a meme, its fan art. atleast try to be correct when whining.

Trying to really get into pencil drawing and applying the things I learned from digital (not that it's that much)

Self-portrait + bonus EVA 01 portrait

>>2294236
its an effects study. I publish comics n shit and i severely lack the patience to do studies from other peoples work.

it's one of my better works this month because it's not from imagination

>>2294293
Tumblr/DeviantArt?

>>2294345
I'm kind of embarrassed to share because there's not really anything like this on my pages right now. This is all very new, like started on within the last month, me trying to get more serious and make my work more appealing. Right now there's basically nothing but a bunch of goofy vidya and youtube fanart on my pages...

>A thread in /ic/ where people posts art
good job OP

Could someone give me some tips on how to make this better? I'm getting back into drawing. (no that's not a floral penis)

>>2294403
try using reference and shading

>>2294410
The lack of shading was more of a choice to see if it looked better than a similar one I did before.

Here's the refrence I used for the body, I'm still pretty bad at faces so I changed it to something simple.

>>2294277
ive seen ur furry stuff and yes i realise we all need to eat so i wont hate on it, infact I got a full on boner so thanks for that orgasm

>>2294425
And here's the shaded drawing I did a few hours ago.

>>2294429
+ reference

I find nudists are the best models to use sense they're not posing like whores.

>>2294414
I like it, the gesture and rendering are looking quite nice. The face reads a bit masculine to me though.

>>2294439
Hah, I went in thinking everything else would be a pain, but I've spent more time on that face than anything else. Would you give some pointers on what I should fix exactly, if you can?

>>2294461
I think the eye closest to the viewer would look better if it were lower, on the same line as the other eye. The other eye I'm not sure about, but I think it might need to be moved just slightly more towards the bridge of the nose. I would try the first eye and see how that looks before messing with that one though because that one might be totally fine.

>>2294474
Could you draw Churchill spreading his butt?

>>2294315
Hey, its me again, the guy who said he would responded, stop doing thousand yard stare, just so you know, eyes should always cross a little towards a middle or else they just are parallel forever.also long short neck dont like that combo

some stuff

>>2294516
sorry this is the only drawing I've done of that design

>>2294465
Thanks. That really helped fix it up a bit.

>>2294522
you should clean it up and color it.

>>2293923
everytime i visit this thread i laugh my ass of at this post

I wonder what compels you to undergo this eyesore, anyway I hope this is better (still not done) and thanks

頑張ってみる、ファム :/

:(

only been drawing a month so nothing great but im practicing every day and having fun doing it

Not my normal style, just something quick I'd done for an event. It's in a template for a button, hence the circles. Critique always welcomed

>>2294677
Also, I realize...dem fingers

>>2294677
is this watercolors

>>2294796
lel what is this

>>2294798
Me and my friend choose a word for the day, do a quick doodle of whatever it makes us think of and then caption it for the other. Is fun lol

what does /ic/ think of my attempt to draw unrealistically large boobies?

Started this page just over an hour ago.

>>2294815
nice

>>2294815
they look large and unrealistic.
good job....i guess?

>>2294815
maybe learn to draw hands or something more important though

>>2294578
actually firez, its not better. HER right eye is still looking off.

>>2294589
1\1347. i never see nice niggrettes, make sur to update with full version.

i.. drew this.

>>2295167
>implying Firez gives any shits about solid construction

>>2294578
Flip canvas horizontal.

Also, maybe draw something besides portraits of glossy-eyed female corpses for once and stop deluding yourself into thinking youre getting better by doing it.

Do you just stare at things you draw and go
"Wooow so pretty what a pretty girl, and I did that....ME! So pretty ooouuuuhhouhhhhh"
and then post on /ic/ to grace everyone with your masterful display of draughtsmanship?

because i know youre not posting here for advice.

>>2295170

and this... too cold to go outside to draw people. maybe this doll will teach me something

>>2295189
Don't follow the doll so strictly. The point of it is to give you a basic idea of how the shape works. Try to work on your construction, study anatomy ALOT, and once you start working more with full body drawings learn how skin and fat bend over and with eachother.

>>2295284

ah, thank you.

>>2295167
Ok, I see it now, I will fix it thanks.

>>2295182

Thanks for the feedback as for the rest no, not at all, think a bit more throughly... if I was really trying to impress you or anyone else over here I wouldn't be posting my very flawed/shitty attempts, I would either wait until I consider it finished and/or make someone else review it and then post it here.

I don't even consider what i do as a pretty neither see myself as an artist, I'm only trying to do the best I can with the resources and experience I may have at some moment in time.

>because i know youre not posting here for advice.
You're so wrong here but if you insist keep thinking that.

>>2295478
Then why don't you apply advice that's given besides minor touch-ups to WIPs?
Why do you post the same images a week apart?
Why don't you post your flawless/good attempts?

>>2295478
I simply do not understand why you post here. Every time someone points out your issues you brush them off and say that's not the kind of feedback you want, because you just want someone to hold your hand and correct everything in your drawing for you. And when they DO, you STILL don't use anything from the redline they give you, you just shuffle things around on your own, still not actually fixing anything, still ending up with the same glaring structural and anatomical errors in your "finished" pics as anything else you draw. I can't imagine what you get from this other than some odd conformation bias that everyone is only angry with you out of envy, not the fact that you always act like you want help when you really don't. You are the worst kind of person, and you're never going to progress until you listen to someone and actually start learning.

>>2295481

>Then why don't you apply advice that's given besides minor touch-ups to WIPs?

>Why do you post the same images a week apart?

As shit as may be, you should get your eyes checked or just troll better.

>Why don't you post your flawless/good attempts?

Do you even read? If you could not infer it from my last message: I don't have good attempts let alone flawless ones. I suck but I'm still willing to try though to suck less than last time.

>>2295478
>>because i know youre not posting here for advice.
>You're so wrong here but if you insist keep thinking that.

It's super obvious you are really into yourself. To me atleast.

I dunno about cuddling with him but I'd get him to crack my back.
Hey, I love that really opaque look your stuff has to it. Mind if I ask what kind of brush settings you use? I know tools don't make the man and all but I'm experimenting with rendering and I'm looking for ideas to try.

>>2295852
lost my brushes a few days ago just using random ones. that one was mostly with a brush from pelengs pack I think plus the circle soft brush

>>2295853
Aw man, that sucks about losing your brushes, sorry dude. Just one more question though, if I could. Would you say the brushes tend to be fully opaque with different flow settings, or more reliant on changing opacity while keeping flow consistent?

I end up mess around with the tablet more at night than any other time. Trade of is that lack of sleep screws me over.

Nobody wants to see someone suffer and flounder.

might aswell post it here aswell

>>2295902
Any advice on the last one?

>>2295974
That part of his comment isn't useful, the part about drawing something other than doe-eyed girls staring into space is. The other day I explained in as neutral language as possible what his underlying problem with structure is, and how to go about fixing it and he told me he'd rather just have people tell him what's wrong with each picture rather than learn how to make correct structure from the start. I've suggested he rely less on reference and do more quick sketches so his work looks less stiff. I can go to warosu and show you I gave him advice without mocking or aggressive language only for him to bite at me, and that's when I went from defending him to despising him. He doesn't actually want help he just wants attention.

>>2296092
And before you say it's his choice to get hand holding for each picture instead of learning to be independent, he only aggravates more people doing that, because he still doesn't make the changes they tell him to anyway. He posts the same tired, lifeless, boring women everyday, claiming he wants to improve, yet heeds neither suggestions to improve each picture nor all around as an artist. To top it off he gets short with everyone who gives him advice whether they heckle or not. It's the most annoying thing I've ever seen, it's Bones of Ruin all over again.

>>2295980
>Nobody wants to see someone suffer and flounder.
apparently FiRez enjoys it and the only people that gets frustrated are those that gave their advice and believe they are entitled to be rewarded with his improvement
and if they aren't they will bash him, as if they are paid in the first place

>>2296100
That's bull. I was totally civil to him when I gave him advice and I don't even care whether he improves or not, but when I took time out to give him the help he claimed to want, he treated me like I was just attacking him. After being confused for a while and being rebuffed in the same way next time I tried answering a question of his, I realized his head was too full of himself to take in any new knowledge. I no longer waste effort on him, but just this one last time I do want it said that Firez doesn't just get unwarranted hate for his art, his attitude and actions definitely draw anger onto him.

>>2296097
>>2296106
My advice to you is that instead of defending or despising, you shouldn't invest emotions in the first place

again, you are not his mom, he didn't see your true face, and he didn't look up on you as a tutor.
Its quite possible that he is a very self-centered person. He will not actively hurt people, but neither is he humble in nature
I've met a person like this face to face once. He only listen to advice from teachers and literally turned back from me when I want to help him. He appears to be very lacking in socializing skill
but what can I do? Grab his collar and punch him in the face? He didn't do anything wrong exactly

We are never entitled to rewards from advices, that's how life is. Sometimes we meet people like him who burns the bridge, we can only beat it

is this projection city or what

>>2296121
Just a bunch of concern trolls

>>2293917
fuck your rules

why the fuck are you drawing undertale and anime like every other angsty teenager who listens to 'my chemical romance'

0/10 no future in art

>>2295906
i'd assume once the water color dries you could run a gel pen over it. It's worth a shot anon.

>>2295513
Been lurking /ic/. You're allembarassing in your attitudes but it's this anon funnily enough that has me shaking my head. It's the first time I've witnessed someone pull a stereotype straight out of their ass. I thought Hondurans shot each other over stolen chickens

>>2296111
>My advice to you is that instead of defending or despising, you shouldn't invest emotions in the first place
It's so true, and I wish someone had shown me why I should never have paid attention to him in the first place. I've basically resolved to never reply to him at all since it's always a waste of time. I broke my resolution this time because I had a point I wanted to make, not that he took it in, but now that I've expressed what I wanted to say, I think I can manage not to engage him anymore. As you pointed out, it's not my art and future hanging in the balance, but it would be if I invested all my time in him rather than myself.

this is a dumping ground for lazy works

>be on /ic/

>>2295855
I checked the main brush I was using for that sketch last night for you and it has both opacity and flow jitter turned to pen pressure in transfer. I just mess with brushes and go by feeling. I don't have a set process for sketches, but I don't think the process as opaque as you think it is. It's more just having fun pushing values.

>>2295902

don't have advice but they look nice keep it up

>>2296344
lel

>>2296423
Ah ok, neat. A mixture of flow and opacity changes, and building up to an opaque looking image, that's different from what I've been trying, I've just been using fully opaque brushes to try and get that cakey look. Thanks for the tips dude, I'm going to experiment with different settings and see if I can find something I like.

>>2296559
That mouth is off centre and a little too low. Neck is also perdy long but that seems to be what you were going for

I was told in the beginners thread that I should practice drawing skulls. So that's what I've been doing.

The scanner really highlights my amateur linework but it's not completely shit, right?

>>2296625
Prismacolor pencils & Bic whiteout pen

Somebody asked me to draw a horse - I pulled the first ref off google and drew it

>>2296692
nice charcoal brush!

what program?

>>2296635
It looks like you're focusing on the wrong details. You put effort into the teeth but neglect to define how the skull actually looks. They're flat, there's no depth, and you should try to make it more like the top left and bottom right where you're actually showing some construction. Don't freehand it, either construct or measure out distances better. Constantly look at the reference picture and try to see what you're doing wrong.

Working on speed and readability in my spritework. pt 1 of 2

pt 2. tear my butt open on these, gotta get gud

>>2296635
Try making 3 dimensional shapes and 'building' a skull moreso than using linear impressions to create space.

>>2296693
Procreate + HB pencil

>>2296705
cmon guys I gotta figure out how to fix up this style some for quicker doodles.

>>2296768
I don't know anything about sprite art or animation but I thought they were awesome. Unfortunately anything that could be cleaner or better is invisible to my untrained eyes.

>>2296775
I'll take that as a positive sign then, if the normies can't see it I'm in the clear

>>2296782
I'll pretend you didn't call me a normie.
You might consider asking in the Animation General thread, there might be some people who know more of what to look for.

>>2296787
wasn't intending to, was more of a blanket general statement than specified at you.
It's late here, kinda mushmouthing all over

>>2296792
lol it's okay I wasn't actually offended. When it comes to animation and pixel art though I'm beginner as fuuuuuuck.

>>2296705
maybe try to like add more movement to their bodies ( not really like movement but like a breathing type of thing ) but i have no knowledge of pixel art so what do i know

>>2296797
got it! Not sure if that'd be doable at this scale, but it's something to try

>>2296800
Look into stuff like sub-pixeling and whatnot, maybe work at a higher scale? And yeah I'd have to agree with the anon suggesting the addition of some subtle movement like breathing and whatnot.

>>2296809
sub-pixeling? what's that?
And I'm already doing plus-scale stuff, right now I'm trying to get my art smaller for various purposes.

>>2296814
Sub-pixeling is a sprite animation concept that relates to anti-aliasing of sprites and depicting subtle movements with color changes. Check the 2dwillneverdie sub-pixeling tut out, it talks about it in more detail than I can.

>>2296819
woah, that's a super helpful technique
thanks man, that helps!

I like it.

Thanks for the advice. What do you think of Alphonso Dunn's video?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6e1b5kMqG7g

>>2296890
And a storyboard school work. Have a limited amount of time to do them, so the quality isn't really optimal.

And yes, it's missig lots of panels.

>>2296890
No wonder you resort to copying, fuck man

>>2296893

lol'd at that page

>>2296635

first i'd recommend getting used to drawing the skull from the front view and side view, just like how you do with the human figure. you need to learn the proportions. these are some i did at the end of last year when i was trying to learn the proportions before going into the harder stuff.

then i would recommend practicing the loomis head a bunch of times, since it's the basis for the skull and head. check out 'proko' on youtube for that. go through his videos on heads and do as many as you can for each video without putting in the details.

Are these threads always this successful?
I've never seen a thread in /ic/ that got this many submissions from different artists.

>>2298020
/ic/ true purpose is that of a silent and not-so-gay hugbox. more like a shoulderpatbox. even if nobody wants to admit it, amateurs can't advices to other amateurs are useful only to a certain extent. its a simple fact.
the only positive thing this board can do for you is making you feel less alone when you struggle. that all considered, is not a bad achievent really if you ask me.

Its a wizard or something

Sorry for the camera pic

>>2298314
holy shit

>>2296965
is there a pen manga artists use to get those dots? I can't imagine they draw them out by hand

>>2298363
oops I mean a brush, not a pen, it's obviously digital coloring

>>2297924
anatomy.

>>2298366
It's called Ziptone or screen tone. Originally they were stickers made out of semi transparent paper, but I'm pretty sure there are digital packs of them now.

Trying (and failing) to draw from a picture for the first time since high school. Eyes are hard.

>>2298386
helps if I actually post the image

>>2298387
look, read the sticky. there are too many people like you here and it's straight up embarassing. stop focusing on shit that's not in the picture and stop weighting in lines that are not correct and why does your head have no structure and it looks like fucking floating lines and to make eyes easy, learn how they are fucking built. stop this bullshit.

>>2298397
rude, but thanks for the input. sad to say that I did read the sticky before making any attempt. was focusing more on avoiding symbol drawing than anything.

>>2298401
the fundamental of getting your lines right is wrapping your mind around the fact that things are three dimensional. either look at some 3d models of faces up close or take someones face and look at it from all these different angles and touch it with your hands and try to understand the fact that it continues after your vision. when you have grasped this, it becomes much more easier to imagine it in your own dark void of mind. then, you start drawing a vague, light shape. and build on it. little by little. remember to start with light and add with light. you can always make a darker line, but not make it lighter. try to never use erasers. they erase your mistakes which are the most important things to learn from. go through blocks of sketch paper. be fucking relentless. the only way you will learn to draw pretty women is if you draw a million ugly ones. do not fall into frustration, continue with a cool mind and keep your thoughts on the idea of progress.

>>2298387
You're symbol drawing bro. Those braids are the best example, they're nothing like that in the picture, you're just drawing what you think braids should look like. Same thing with the eyebrows. The proportions of her face are out of whack too - look at the position of her ear in relation to her eye. The outer corner of the right eye (from our perspective) should line up with the middle of her ear, not the top. Her jaw is also way too square.

Just take a good look at the reference picture. Draw lines on top of if you have to - bottom of the ear to the top of the right nostril, inner corner of the left eye to the left corner of her mouth. Measure things - her face is about three ears long, about two and a half wide. The distance between her nose and chin is about as long as her nose... and so on. You need to get the proper proportions and structure down first and then refine.

>>2298423
you're absolutely no help at all. please read this.>>2298418

What's with the tribal pictures

>>2298429
I dunno, but whoever is posting them should continue because they're interesting as fuck

>>2298418
>>2298423
Idea: lightly trace the picture on tracing paper then add construction lines underneath to figure out the 3 demension/proportions?

>>2298433
Not the dude posting tribal people but have a Kalash girl

I need help. I'm in a weird position where I can do studies and paint things without being way off but I cannot express them with just lines. I cannot draw at all. For example, this study I was doing. The lines underneath are terrible and I honestly don't really understand the underlying anatomy off the top of my head despite pouring over anatomy books. When painting, I figure it out based on the angles and proportions of what I've started painting, so it sort of became this weird game of correcting my fucked up lines with paint. What do I do to fix it?

>>2298442
FUCK YOU

>>2298442

watch vilppu and mattesi

that's the best advice I can give you. most people I meet who having problems with line and linear drawing haven't really deeply looked at those tutorials. Or.. you know... front some money up and get a tutor.

Quickie - clearly not helping anyone put up the tree

Camera pic sorry fellas

I like it. clothes folding is a pain in the ass

Do you have some kind of page with more artwork?

>>2296628
I like this too. looks like my ex

>>2298510
>>2298514
You guys really like that? It's nothing at all like what I wanted to do with it. Anyway I guess you could say I'm in between blogs right now. The ones I have don't have anything remotely like what I've been doing lately on them, or at least very few early examples. I'm still deciding whether to make a new page where I put the new stuff or keep it all continuous.

>>2298533
Even if you don't like it, I definitely like sketches like this. When you decide what to do with your blogs, it would be sweet if you posted it. Good luck going forward!

a quicky

>>2298540
>I definitely like sketches like this
Mm, maybe this is a good sign. I've been trying to develop a style lately, and I chose to go for something inspired by Yoji Shinkawa and Otomo and a bunch of people like that but I didn't think it was working, I didn't think I was picking up anything from them, but maybe I did. I should probably decide about the blog stuff soon, people have started asking lately, which is good, but not having an answer isn't good. I'll make sure to post something about it when I figure it out then. Thanks anon, I feel somewhat encouraged.

>>2298475
S-sorry anon

>>2298482
Thank you. I'll look into the videos. I've never paid for a tutor before (because I''m poor as shit). How effective do you find them?

>>2293917
Your weeb shit is crap. Sue me.

I tried to do that kind of sketch intentionally this time.
>>2298667
Nice.

>>2293917

>tfw had to redraw this twice soon
(presketch, redline, pencil, ink)

I fucked up

Skull study, I know the largest thing I fucked up on was not moving the eye close enough to the nose so there's too much space that shouldn't be there.

>mfw drawing on a big canvas for the first time

>>2298993

>that pixelation

Did you take a tiny drawing and expand it into a big canvas or something?

(Ref)

>>2299009
The initial sketch was maybe a seventh of the current size and drawn with a binary brush, so yeah. I'm going to have to expand the drawing even further by maybe another 25%.
I work really small generally. It's fucking ridiculous considering how much space digital gives me.

First time on /ic/, I finished this about 30 minutes ago. I really really enjoy drawing hands so I tried making something that revolved around that specifically.

Thoughts?

>>2299026
it's a cool idea, but you're completely missing fundamentals. hate to be that guy but read the sticky.

>>2299032
>missing fundamentals

Mind giving any specifics I can improve on?

>>2299037
Not him.

Your ignoring volume and perspective.
Read the sticky carefully and pick up one of the books.

>>2299037
not that anon, but i like drawing hands. firstly, you're not really drawing hands. you're just drawing some weird poky-potato-tuber kind of things.

go look at your own hands(hands are the easiest things to get good at since you almost always have a closeby, poseable, live reference to rely on). draw them often; notice the proportions, where the skin stretches or where the bones come out.

a big part of drawing hands is your linework; because of the nature of how skin stretches over a hand, some lines will be thicker(read: darker) than others. if you can draw a human hand, drawing any kind of animal/robot/imaginary hand will become much easier.

PS values are an important part of hands

>>2299048
>>2299049
>poky-potato-tuber

Kek made me laugh.

Thanks guys. I'll practice some more.

Draw thread exploded into arguing so here I am, asking for help. Technically I started this last night and posted what I had within an hour, but I fell asleep soooo

At this point both of you are shitposting instead of helping the anon who originally asked for critique
>>2296337
Those things on the shoulder-- if they're bandages, they look off. they look more like cooked strings of spaghetti than cloth.

doing SOMETHING in color for the sake of it

>>2299260
I'm trying to make the transition to color too, but honestly, something that would help is switching the image to black and white on occasion to measure your values. Right now, they are all over the place and I can barely make out a proper light source. It's the most confusing on that creature. Also, if you want ti to be green, you don't necessarily have to hop to green on the color wheel for green. Pick colors based on relationship and not necessarily the true color of what you want.

Beginner here, looking for Critique pls, I know I'm awful at hair and hands so I'm going to spend the next hour or so doing those. Looking for critique on the anatomy and pose more than anything, be as brutal as you like (also does anyone have any good resources for how to draw faces and expressions because they just fuck me right up)

My second attempt at redoing a sketch drawing in a drawing program. Not done yet as you can probably see, only got a mouse so it's been a lot of pouring ink onto it and then carving lineart outta it.

If you ever want to fuck yourself with perspective, draw a boat.

Planes as well.

>>2299831
Looks beautiful though. No pain no gains!

>>2299831
you cant progress if you dont torture yourself

Excellent thread.

What gel pen do you use (assuming that's what you're using for your whites)?

I have a gelly roll but it's fucking garbage. Don't know if I just got a bad one but it's off-white and doesn't come out much.

>>2300207
mark crilley?

>>2300561
i use the gelly roll one as well, the thing is you have to go slow with it or it stop going sometimes. its pretty annoying
and if it does stop coming out do a few scribbles on the side until it does again.

i also tried out this sakura pen touch. its okay. i dont really care for it too much. i'd say go online and buy a few white gel pens you want to try,

>>2293917

>>2300689
actually draw something, this is something you'd see in a high school notebook. basically time wasting doodles.

Mike where the fuck are you?
Make the /pol/ drawthread pls I need it.

>>2300475
lel

started out fucking around, wasted a ton of time fixing earlier mistakes--but it's alright

>>2300887
the ear seems odd. i cant quite place it. I'd say bring a hard brush to solidify some shapes in the face it's all super soft. I love the lips btw

>>2300761
Whom? Also 8 ch/pol/ is where its at.

too lazy to finish the top half
