how do you delete threads anyway
btw last thread didnt reach the bump limit

>>2448565
This looks familiar...

>>2448569
Yes. This is bad sign tho

>>2448565
Looks like shit. GG malaysia.

>>2448576
why?
i like the drawing

How do you color and shade abdomens and make them look realistic in an anime type style? Are there any tutorials for this?

Hard

>>2448589
>t. Maylasia

I'm struggling with the perspective.
I made several sketches before this one and people often tell me that it lacks depht. Any advice ?

>>2448560
before I go any further, how is my animu looking?

>>2448703
You might want a little more definition of the cheekbones and brow, considering that your light source appears to be directly above.

Progress.

Gotta darken her up more at the top, but it's coming along nice I think. This is definitely taking longer than I thought, but well, I'm quite enjoying the process.

So much for doing the character design I was planning to tackle today though, lol.

Also, I've got it all on one layer though, so splitting the painting up again for the gradient maps will be a bit of a headache though...

>>2448676

First, I think you need to establish a stronger foreground.

Secondly, I think one of the things that takes the depth away is the lack of a focal point. Technically this could easily be fixed with some well-placed colour and lighting, but at this stage because there are lots of subjects, it serves to kind of flattens the image if that makes sense? I'm not sure where I'm supposed to be looking, I assume that the walking character is the protagonist but it's not visually obvious.

It's cute though.

>>2448565
Draw more atheist chan please.

>>2448738

It's gorgeous and I love the sense of depth. I don't like her right hand though. I don't think it's dynamic enough considering the action. If the arm was completely outstretched then it would be okay in that position, but now currently it looks limp. But that's me nitpicking.

>>2448741
>Draw more atheist chan please.
>>2448741
>atheist chan
Hey!
just!
listen!
what if we make

THUS SPOKE ZARATHUSTRA CHAN!
Adaptation of Zarathustra's teaching of Overman for children and young in manga style!
That would be something atually beneficial for society.

>>2448738
Your composition feels weak imo.
I'm assuming your focal point is the girl, and right now it works because she's far more worked out than everything else so it does sorta bring your attention to it. However, the flow of the composition pretty much leads everywhere except there.

>>2448565
cant wait untill we take down your patreon too.

>>2448790
cant wait until you kill yourself

trying to get back in to drawing

Man, I can never draw my hands in the super simple ways like in manga. They just manage to use only couple of lines to do hands, wheneve I try it looks like shit.

>>2448849
It might sound odd, but try thinking of them as a single shape rather than breaking them down.

>>2448867
Thanks I'll try practicing that. I fuck the fingers up every time, make them too fat or too thin or put the waves wrong. Just couple days ago, I was drawing on drawplanet and some dude came and made perfect animu hands in like one continuous stroke in crazy angles, made me want to slash my wrists.

>>2448703
I'm not great with anatomy (and art in general) so take my advice with a grain of salt.
You could broaden her shoulders a little bit, trapezius will broaden as a result as well. Collar seems a little bit small and uneven.

trying to make corrupt elf head

im shit at animu though

>>2448740
" Stronger foreground " as in adding more elements to it ?
I think the lack of a focal point may be due to the fact that this image is actually a page for a comic. It's going to be a double page where the main character travels through the forest.(All the figures in the image are the same character)
Thanks for the advice, it was really helpful.

>>2448332
Those shoulders worry me. I'm still studying anatomy, but atleast I tried to fix them. Also I am not sure whether using soft shadows here is a good idea to begin with.

>>2449011
Hey, your arms seem kinda like they don't really connect to the torso.
If anyone else thinks this is the case I'd love an explanation why or to see some critique and advice for this anon.

>>2449016
Probably because I didn't consider drawing the rest of the torso\back\arm muscles. I'm, like, not particularly knowledgeable about most of them. There is also back muscles that connect to the arm, I'm still collecting decent references how those damn things look from the front and side in different arm positions. So yeah, that fix is pretty much bare bones. Or muscles, I guess?
Need to study it seriously in depth for once.

This was supposed to go in the porn thread, but with the recent ban on certain subjects, I guess I'll have to post censored stuff here instead.

>>2449096
>porn thread bans loli

what the fuck

>>2449115
I mean, it isn't really a ban, it's just enforcement of the global rules. Unless Hiroshima was based enough to change them and OP is being a faggot.

>>2449120
>caring about OP
he's probably being a faggot, until you get banned for it (which you won't its fucking /ic/) keep at it.

>>2449133
From what I understand, a lot of pictures got deleted a few weeks ago, which people interpreted as loli being banned.

>>2449144
I'd just say post it from your phone, if you get banned start complaining in the feedback section. Because loli art shouldn't be banned on /ic/ thats ridiculous. If it is actually banned and not hearsay then I'll totally bitch with you because that's retarded, and I don't even draw loli.

I think they mean this, and yes it's retarded.

>>2448703
>>2448709
>>2448920
thanks anon.

I made some slight tweaks to her body and touched it up a little. Thanks for the feedback and reference.

This would look so much better if you had used three point perspective.

These always look like a normal sized girl in a small model of a city.

Can someone please explain to me why are there 3 links in OP that link to sites in alien languages? Am I missing something? How does a normal person use that?

Feels like she's a bit off balanced imo.
Her front leg is straight but he weight is all toward her middle, which is behind the leg giving the support. If she was making a more pronounced motion forward she'd be leaning forward more.
right now its just really stiff and not balanced well.

>>2449626
More character in that blue

>>2449509
A guy posted his patreon on tumblr threads and jelly fags went full aspergers on the entire board, spamming Malaysia and kyle hate posts, telling posters to report his patreon for sensitive content after he got a $10 increase in pledges.
Another reminder to be careful when you post on /ic/, that guy lost his tapastic account because of these jelly sheltered, no life dumbfucks

>>2449699
Malaysia, we don't do this because we're jelly, we do it because your art is garbage and your posts suck.

>>2449699
Pic related happens literally days after he posted his links in the tumblr thread.
Teal, BBC, Kyle, all fur artist, who's next you fucking shitheads?

>>2449096
>lolibro is back
POST
YOUR
PIXIV
>>2449145
New mod rules tho. You can't do anything. Unless you tweet to Hiroyuki but this will gain too much attention to /ic/. Like with /a/ "nipple mod"

>>2449656
Is this better?

>>2449700
>Teal, we don't do this because we're jelly, we do it because your art is garbage and your posts suck.
>BBC, we don't do this because we're jelly, we do it because your art is garbage and your posts suck.
>Kyle, we don't do this because we're jelly, we do it because your art is garbage and your posts suck.

>>2449699
If you check his threads in /pol/, you'll understand why people report him

>>2449705
Comparing yourself to Teal and Kyle is fucking retarded, do you really think you're worth that much with your shitty comics and hamfisted self promotion? Besides, Kyle still posts.

>>2449708
why are you in /pol/ in the first place?

>>2449709
sup kyle

>>2449709
Sure, Malaysia's art is nothing to brag about but his patreon got your autism boiling eh?

>>2449704
I'm probably not the best judge of this given amateur status and all, but I'd say its a combination of her seeming forward movement with the fact she's turning to look behind her.
So rather than leg placement you can go with the original, but add some more twist to her torso.
I'm sure someone more experienced could help better though.

>>2449096
Wow! How can I learn to draw lolis like that?

>>2449711
Kyle's dead. Without BBC and a properly functioning porn thread he's a fuckin nobody.
All thanks to a bunch of aspies that can't stand looking at another artist making it.

>>2449713
U MAD is not an argument, dude. There's a reason why people don't like Malaysia, and it's clear as day. I don't participate in reporting his self promotion shit and his taptastic or patreon, but if you think his disgustingly unsubtle self promotion, shitposts, and garbage art are beyond reproach, you suck.

>>2449710
I just seen this >>2447038

>>2449721
Hiding your autism is not an argument either. Fuck off back to /pol/ and contain your collective autism there, dumbfuck.

>>2449724
>People who dislike me are all from /pol/!

>>2449723
He's containing it there, good. Why shitpost about him here?

>>2449724
>>>/pol/67869176
You can't hide your autism either, Malaysia.

>>2449725
/pol/'s autism is a really serious issue. You fucked /ic/ forever. We got an /a/ spam once but that changed shit and we all got plenty of laughs out of it.
You dumbfuckers literally chased people off with your diehard autism and fucked up our board culture.

>>2449727
I don't care. Just saying

>>2449727
/pol/ loves fucking things up.

>>2449729
The /pol/ boogeyman didn't do anything but post bad hitler sketches in the main threads and bring you, Malaysia, over here.

How come you faggots still talk about Malaysia and why are you fags so autistic about him

>>2449733
why are people calling the christ chan guy malaysia

>>2449735
I'm assuming its just some autistic faggot that doesn't realize that acknowledging the cancer just makes it grow.

The best way to deal with this shit is ignore it.

Rhetorical anti-conflict posts don't make you look any better, Malaysia. If you didn't want to be talked about and loathed, you would stir shit for minimal publicity.

>>2449736
if you're from /pol/ you call him malaysia because apparently the guy who makes the christ chan comics posts with a malaysian flag (/pol/ got flags). Dunno if he's actually from there tho.

If you're from /ic/, he's the christ chan guy.

Easy way to tell who came from /pol/ and who doesn't.

take your shitposts elsewhere

>>2449736
Because he's a Malaysian drawfag from /pol/ who shills his comic on /pol/ and /ic/, probably /a/ too. People show images relating to the /pol/ drama he shits out, and thus christchan is also known as malaysia due to his /pol/ autism.

>>2449737
Did the mods found out who spammed the shit out of porn threads with potatoes and fucked it up forever yet? Range ban that mofo pls

guys stop fighting pls.

>>2449741
Can't we not have those here, plenty of artists here are of asian decent and it'll be uncomfortable to post with those racist drawings floating around.

>>2449742
Its kind of hard to ban people like that though.
For example I could post from my phone switching ips every time. They could ban the entire range but that also bans thousands of innocent people who just want to access 4chan on their phones.
Its really hard to ban people on an anonymous image board like this.

>>2449748
If you're not from north america or europe we wont miss you.

MODSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Last malaysia shitpost from me today: It's pretty easy to recognize his patterns of speech and behaviour (shilling and impotent rage at people disliking him), some of his favorite insults is "sperg" and "sperg boy", "aspie" and variations upon "shitstain".

>>2449700
>your art is garbage
better than yours :^)

>>2449760
No you. Post your work to be honest family shaking my head.

>>2449753
>his favorite insults is "sperg" and "sperg boy", "aspie" and variations upon "shitstain".
lel im gonna use these from now on. Thanks sperg boy

>>2449764
I thought you already know my work, sperg boy shitstain aspie.

>>2449766
np senpai, honestly if everyone is malaysia, nobody is malaysia. Would be nice, wouldn't it shitstain?

>>2449768
No problem at all, sperg boy. Hows your aspergers doing?

Come on guys just stop fighting!
Lets draw and be all be friends ok?
It will all be ok, just stop fighting, lets draw some more anime girls and have fun!

>>2449767
Your your nigger-loving scanner sketches look like a tub of shit, malaysia

>>2449770
I am him, shitstain. Check his art blog the same illustration is currently on sale. If you purchase that you can probably get to know him better aint it, you fucking paki loving fuck
you shit on my country for no reason, fuckface.
You deserve that insult and everything your whore of a mother told you such as killing yourself.

no, you jealous aspies dont want it. And you dont want no art either. Thats why you nigger loving fucks are ruining /ic/.

And soon youll spread your cancer to other drawthreads

/pol/ needs to be purged for the shitloads amount of asspained aspies it creates.

Guys stop fighting and giff me some resources about drawing lolis

Update. :^)

Update, Greyscale is more of less done. I'm gonna polish things up a bit, balance things, etc...

And then move onto the color, how's it read so far?

I'm thinking on upping the contrast on her a little more.

>>2448742
Yeah, I getcha. A little too late to change, but I'll keep that in mind for the next one.

>>2448763
Yeah, I see where you're coming from. There's not gesture to the composition really. I'll keep that in mind for future projects.

holy shit this thread

>>2449783
Impact font image macros aren't gonna help, post some art.

>>2449786
kay

>>2449788

>>2449788
At least it's not as bad as filipino art, I guess. Why does malaysia do his tones like that? Shit really flattens it out. Those proportions look kinda borked, too.

Woops. Posted in the old thread by accident.
Just trying to get back into my groove after a long break.

>>2449804
What are some artists you study anon? You're that guy who likes to draw oddly proportioned chibi stuff with his mouse as well, right?

>>2449779
I got choo breh

>>2449811
this is wrong though

>>2449811
? what was deleted did anyone save that?

>>2449816
It was basically just a loli infographic saying to emphasize the skeletal structure of the smaller ribcage and not to flatten the obliques, and instead to emphasize the way they sit on the hips. Dunno how accurate it is, since it looked kinda weird.

>>2449807
Yea that's me. Lately I've been trying to do less of chibi stuff. I do a lot of my works with a mouse.

These guys are pretty rad. Jae hong kim. Yusuke Murata. Kim jung gi. Alex Pascenko. Joverine.

Oldfag here. You know at first I thought this Malaysia drama we got is similar to the Smurf drama we got sometime back, a couple of months ago. Smurf is a drawfag from /a/ and he copies Murata a lot and whenever he posts his art, people are going to shitpost about him non stop, calling him out for samefaging his shit etc, because he is prone to being asspained whenever someone criticizes him
People hated smurf. Theres this one time, Smurf starded a porn thread with his art as the op. People shitpost a bit about him (yeah sure smurf congrats for being the OP lmao attention whore etc) but eventually the thread changed topics and it went to kyle vs bbc shitposting right afterwards. Nobody cares about him, the porn thread didnt got deletd and mods didnt came down and changed shit (rules etc)

I thought this malaysia is like him. But no, it's not. Malaysia started a porn thread with his art in the op and apparently someone really fucking hates this guy to the point he has a fucking vendetta towards him. This fucking vendetta, this potent level of autistic rage, caused the aspie to spam the thread alongside his friend with stupid shit and eventually he gave up and made a new porn thread and told everyone to shitpost in the porn thread with malaysia's art in the OP and discuss art in his porn thread.

All this because Malaysia made a thread with his art in the OP. Seriously, porn threads changed forever because these fucking aspies cant get a fucking grip.

>>2449840
>porn thread
well now you know why.
The people who draw porn are pretty much the lowest of the low. There's only a very fine line between porn and furry.

>>2449841
being this retarded

>>2449840
Ive also read some posts that people are laughing at malaysia?
Thats crazy talk, I laugh at smurf and BBC when they defend their art but i never reported their posts or spam report links so people take down their sites.

Apparently the aspie rage is real. I honestly dont care about this Malaysia because he literally never posts here and it seems from the /pol/ thread that got linked, he's making enemies on purpose if he's the actual Malaysia. Could've been a shitposter pretending to be him, who knows.

But what the fuck ever this is, you motherfuckers that got this uncontrolled levels of aspie rage towards him need to get a fucking grip and please fucking contain your aspie cancer in your containment board before you ruin /ic/ even further. You've chased off shitloads of good porn artists that posts regularly and we honestly cant accept any further purging of people who actually benefits the board.

Dumbfucks.

>>2449841
you got to draw people and things naked before you dress them, porn threads are foundation.

>>2449852
>naked things are porn
yeah oldfag my ass. Get the fuck out.

Heil Happy Hitler, nice get sperg.

Still WIP, but anything could be done to make it better? trying to understand how cell shading works

>>2449901
I really like the art style. Reminds me of FF/BD.

>>2449884
keep it coming, aspie

>>2449901
Oh yeah, angle of the sword is a bit off, and the shoulder it's resting on needs to be a bit higher.

Also, darken the light on her sweater a bit. The one in the front.

>>2449901
It's aesthetically cool, seems pretty deformed in a lot of ways though. Calves, thorax, shoulders, pelvis, hands, face. It screams potential though, might just be the rendering.

>>2449922
It's still up, sperg boy. :^)

>>2449795
i found that on his tumblr. seems like he only posts the good stuff on his patreon. I assume you'll get better art if you're a patron.

>>2449931
This is some bengus tier shit. Is he a pro or something

>>2449929
... For only pennies a day!

>>2449935
He said he started drawing 2 months ago. He's probably just a quick learner.

>>2449936
Technically he's making 2.2 dollars a day.

Can anyone deliver a proportions spreadsheet with different ages were measuring is in cranial units instead of head units?

Can you spoonfeed me some background on this meme?

>>2450079
it's just a dumb way of saying small, I'm not sure of the origin, but it's used a lot in the hell known as tumblr. "smol" is like a way of saying something is small but is also cute.

Guess I expected more substance from contemporary memes. Damn kids and their stupid internet jokes.

isn't there a sticky for this sort of thing or am I hallucinating every time I check /ic/?

Are there any more refs on pixiv like the one in the OP? I'm really digging this

Crossposting from draw thread since I'm assuming this is the stylization general.

Any tips for shading with only pen that don't involve pure crosshatching? I'm looking for something more wacky and I'm wondering if using patterns in various densities is viable.

If someone's done this before, please post your work and let me know how it went/any tips for doing so.

Also, general criticism welcome.

Yeah that's why I was confused when I posted, I'm just assuming this is stylization general as well

I think this is the 4th time I've restarted this. Fuck me. I got together a lot of reference this time, tho

>>2450028
I like your lines

I'd wonder if Morriganfag is Boco but that'd be giving Boco way too much credit.

>>2449421
>>2449511
>>2449702
Still don't have a site, partially because of the nature of the stuff I've posted on /ic/. I doubt it's going to become less controversial in the future, so I should probably just drop it and draw more tits.

>>2449717
Spend 8 hours procrasting every day, then draw an hour before bed and tell yourself you'll spend all day tomorrow drawing. Repeat until you hate drawing.

>>2450784
boo hoo nobody gives a fuck
not your blog dipshit

>>2450789
It's called a joke. It's hilarious how sensitive and angry some people on /ic/ are.

>>2450784
Get on my level M8. Drawing is my procrastination. I'm supposed to be coding projects for uni and doing math problems, I spend 6 hours drawing and then I code something in a hurry and tell myself I'll code all day tomorrow.

>>2450793
I had the same problem when getting my engineering degree. Suddenly had a much greater desire to draw when I didn't have time to do it.
Granted, my procrastination has gotten worse with time. I spent a shitload of time drawing back in the day, filling sketchbook after sketchbook.

Posted this in the draw thread, then realized it may have fit better here.

>>2450795
It would fit even better in the beginner thread.

>>2449453

Who is Boco?

Progress...


Still working out the gradient maps.

Initially it was a lot more blue, but as I started to work it out, I realized I wanted a lot more color to it.

It's supposed to be very trippy and colorful, like a kaleidoscope, or an acid trip. Once I have the gradient maps laid out as I want them and polished, I'll flatten the image and paint it over to make sure everything is as its supposed to be.

Right now I'm just working out the general tones over everything and seeing how it reads overall.

i dont know exactly what im doing anymore, maybe if u put a dick to this fuckin jinx people would love it.

Here is a sketch for later lineart, advice please

tweak some of his muscles and bones specifically the right arm

>>2451221
I really LOVE blue and red lines.

>>2451221
Are those legs or cloth? Asking cause the shape is too ridiculous for either and its got fire pattern.

>>2451218
muh dick

>>2451221
It's pretty dynamic but the arms and cloth seem borked. I'd start over from the gesture and work out the kinks with reference and a book or two at hand. Is this Samurai Jack fanart?

>>2448738
everything below the neck is shit, fix it

>>2451229
>>2451240
>>2451278
thanks for your advice, I'll check. And no, it is not a fanart of Samurai Jack, is an original drawing (insirado obviously on a design standard samurai).
>>2451233
This technique is very useful, it's like working with layers on paper.

>>2450784
>Still don't have a site, partially because of the nature of the stuff I've posted on /ic/.
Lolis and guro allowed on pixiv.
>Spend 8 hours procrasting every day
A lot people here dreaming to have your skills. What a waste. I wish I can trade my useless math ability for your drawing ability. Life is really unfair.

>>2451280
Bait harder.

>>2450784
>Spend 8 hours procrasting every day, then draw an hour before bed and tell yourself you'll spend all day tomorrow drawing. Repeat until you hate drawing.

You know how to really piss someone off.

You know he is not the only one with this attitude, I used to suck dick here and look up to you all when I first came here to learn. I was a clean slate, never met another artist before and I don't know why but I figured an Artist was salt of the earth.

I don't know what is more disappointing, the fact that you're all miserable insufferable faggots or the fact that I am slowly becoming one of you.

>>2451347
Also remember this is 4chan. It's not because they're artists, it's because they're faggots who shitpost all day instead of drawing.

>>2451347
I only come here to post art and seek critique.

/ic/ is easily one of the worst art communities on the web. Go to cubebrush or sycra if you want a more wholesome place with cool people trying to learn together.

The only perks of /ic/ is the quick response rate is useful, and there's a ton of free and solid resources. Like with /fit/ people here know the proper steps toward learning, and you have a handful of very talented people posting.

However, like with /fit/, if you only go to the 4chan forum, you're bound to get dragged down by the negativity eventually.

Either way, you should be posting or trying to be a part of the community, you should be drawing and posting art.

I literally don't bother to pay attention to all the bullshit drama that goes on here. This place is full of trolls trying to make people feel bad and quit.

>>2451347

>Spend 8 hours procrasting every day, then draw an hour before bed and tell yourself you'll spend all day tomorrow drawing. Repeat until you hate drawing.

General question, how do I break out of this? Usually I try to have something that motivates me to get my drawing done so I can do the activity that comes after, but I pass out after working for an unsatisfactory amount of time almost every day now.

>>2451354
I actually like /ic/ a lot because I just post my work, receive a bunch of complaints that tells me exactly what's wrong with it and what to fix, then I get the fuck out.

Easy critique, every time. No bullshitting about "oh my god I love your style sooooo muchhhhhhh pixivvvv plsssssssss" it's just "this is shit fix that specifically also your lighting is inconsistent fix that you fucktard" then you fix it and get out.

>>2451354
>/ic/ is easily one of the worst art communities on the web.
Nope. I don't think so. Shitposting is strong here, right. But still, positive feedback is more than 60%. Meanwhile my native Russian imageboard is real shithole. Three years ago, when last time I check it, our /ic/ was filled with 95% degenerates. Not shitposters, literally degenerates. Except maybe some cool architecture guy. And I don't think time has changed. /ic/ is bless compared to real shitholes.

>>2451365
I agree with this.

>>2451366
True, but you also have a lot of non artists not painting here.

>>2451363
Easy as fuck. Turn off internet. Don't pay for internet. Works 1000% for me. I was planned to repeat "no internet month" again but...muh Dark Souls 3 will be out soon. Can't resist.

>>2451376
Le memesouls faec

>>2451376
Shit, yeah. Thanks for reminding me, I wasted a lot of time yesterday doing digital hoarding stuff, but my successful days usually consist of me keeping the hardware switch on my laptop off and just getting drawing/video lectures done.

>>2451363
I'm the one who wrote that. While I was half-joking, procrastination is a huge problem for me.
I have a steady income due to some lucky investments I made when I was younger, so I've been thinking of renting an office nearby with no internet connection and spending 8 hours a day there for a year, doing nothing but drawing. If that doesn't work, I don't know what will.

Looking for critique pls.

How the fuck does Malaysia develop his own signature style in less than 2 months? People still can't tell if i draw my own shit yet i've worked my ass off drawing for 2 years.

>>2451420
Be more subtle, please. There are also dedicated threads for self promotion, Malaysia. Everybody develops a signature style quickly, around who they learn from, copy from, tools they use and how they use them.

>>2451423
>le malaysia boogeyman
get a grip sperg bitch

>>2451425
Hello Malaysia or Malaysia imitator.

>>2451425
No need to be rude, cunt. But i must admit, its pretty impressive for a beginner to develop a style of his own in such a short period of time.
Most of the artists i know tend to get confused with someone else.

>>2451427
The best part is I know who I am and I'm better than you. I'm smarter, I work harder, and I have better taste.

At best the only thing you can do is beg me to post my work.

It's going to annoy the fuck out of you. The only thing you have going for you is that you're too fucking dumb to realize where you stand.

Cus that's the best part. I DO know how much better I am than you. I could just prove it to you but we both know you'll just make up some excuse that I'm a photobasher or I trace because you're that delusional. You will tell yourself anything to make yourself feel better.

And that's hilarious.

>>2451418
I feel like anatomy is the easiest thing for scrubs to critique.

You can always tell a newbie is posting when they only bother to critique anatomy.

Also, you're 3 posts and 40 hours too late. Telling someone "it's shit, redo the whole bottom" and offering no other input when they're that far into a painting isn't constructive criticism, it's just called being an asshole. How does critiquing anatomy help in any way at this point?

In addition, anatomy is the worst thing to critique in a stylization thread. Critique composition, critique values, construction, color, etc... but anatomy is one thing that's typically purposefully deformed, and acceptible in stylization, since it's only glaring to hyper-realists. Did I make mistakes? I'm sure I did. But it's too late to fix them now, no point in getting autistic about it.

In any case, someone beat you to the punch with the breast, and it was fixed. I'll fix the shoulder when I do the final passover. The rest, well, too late. For next time.

I'm sorry for responding in such a tone dude, but to be fair, you need to change your attitude as well.

Thanks for the feedback anyway.

>>2451431
>40 hours too late
yea, so? Wasnt on my home pc for the past 48 hrs

>Telling someone "it's shit, redo the whole bottom"
I was thinking about a paragraph post for my first reply. Decided not to.

>How does critiquing anatomy help in any way at this point?
Anon could start another project with the same pose, but improve on the issues. Or anon could ignore what I posted and coward in the dirt.

>anatomy is the worst thing to critique in a stylization thread
Yea, but when you see glaring issues that you sure as hell know arent a stylistic choice. Issues that let you know the artist doesnt know how to stylize anatomy. Then you have to decide whether anon is using stylization as a crutch or the anon is actually good.

I decided to think anon is using stylization was a crutch.


>Did I make mistakes
Yes you did. Now you can take some notes and decide what to study so you can improve.

>I'll fix the shoulder when I do the final passover
Do whatever, just dont make the same mistake twice. The issue is more in the deltoid and the entire arm. Shoulders I can care less for

>you need to change your attitude as well
eat a dick

Dont fix anything, at this point youre polishing shit. So just finish it and do a better job next time

>>2451427
totally agree. Cant wait to see his progress in the future.

I want this pasta to succeed as much as the next person, but let's keep it to once or twice per thread, so it doesn't backfire.

>>2451493
Yeah, I suppose shitty rebuttal pasta is pretty easy to abuse.
Also, it's pretty funny that whoever this guy is acts as though there's a 4chan clique of spergs who just /really/ hate Malaysia, it's good bait.

>>2451431
While I agree that anatomyplebs are literal cancer, you sound like a gigantic faggot.

>>2451498
Anyone posting malaysia's works and starts praising them is a good way to derail a thread.
The aspie sperg bitching is real and i fear it might be abused for the lulz.

>>2451540
That's because some of the aspies here can't get a fucking grip lel.

>>2451548
neat. got a blog?

>>2451548
blog?

So, do any of you actually draw? Or do you just shitpost all day?

Whatever happened to the old "Alternative" thread, and when did this thread get flooded with trolls? This place has become literal cancer.

>>2451572
/ic/ is a extra shit lately, betting it's spring break kids.

>>2451572
some newfags that cant draw worth a shit came here thinking this place worships their boogieman and went out to ruin his reputation by derailing every single general we have in the catalog by bitching about him non stop.

>>2451581
I doubt Malaysia even posts here tbqh.

>>2451581
Isn't the only thread that's been derailed over Richard Rickshaw, Royal Ricenigger the anime one?

>>2451581
what a bunch of stupid fucks. where do these entitled shits came from anyway

My impression is that most anon in this thread are looking for fap material. Would that be unfair to say?
>>2451431
There's a difference between purposeful Stylization and not knowing what you're doing. If random "noobies" can casually point out anatomical errors, then maybe you're not doing as well as you think.

>>2451418
You're so bad you can't draw over the drawing but paste images from a book to substitute nonexistent knowledge.

>>2451580
>>2451581
They need to get the fuck out of /ic/ and get their asses over to /v/ or /b/.

Some of us just wanna draw and critique others' work. We ain't got time for this social bullshit.

I'm seriously on the verge of just getting the fuck outta this thread and posting my work in a slower forum.

We're 276 posts into the new thread, and less than 10 pieces have been posted, with only half of them getting critiqued. 90% of the thread uas been people who talking about this dude I've never heard of or seen post here, and trolls trying to start shit with artists.

>>2451595
If I'm being honest anon, I had a hard time seeing what he was trying to point out outside of the shoulder.

Hardly what I'd call "it's all shit from the neck down." I gave him the benefit of a doubt in that he was just a newbie trying to be helpful, but at this point it's evident you and him are the same person, and just a troll trying to start shit.

>>>/b/

>>2451598
you can thank mikufag and his magical friends for that

>>2451572
I actually draw, i'll post an update when there's enough progress.

There's just a lot of shitposting and you should honestly rename the OP to alternative/stylization again.

can the mods please just fucking ban Malaysia already, other boards have.
seriously, every thread that shit posts into gets derailed.

>cant wait until we take down his patreon.

>>2451615
I agree, next OP should be Alternative/Stylization so all the faggots can fuck off back to /a/. "Anime style" is just stylized art anyway. It falls under a broader category.

>>2451620
They should ban anyone saying the word "Malaysia" in /ic/. I'm sick and tired of you faggots rave on about some faggot I've never seen post here. Fuck off back to /b/ with your raid bullshit and let us draw in peace.

>>2451615

sure thing

>>2451621
Honestly most anime stuff can probably go on /jp/, people are nice there, there's some good artists, and I'm pretty sure you could get a good critique there.

>>2451620
Malaysia never posted here dumbfuck. The ones that should be banned are the sperg bitches that went apeshit at the sight of his work.

>>2451644
hope the mods find the pieces of shits that went full aspie on the porn threads, spamming non /ic/ shit and making new threads because they dont like the op pic.
holy shit what fucking cancer has /ic/ contracted recently.

>>2451644
obligatory picture

here you replace pancakes with malaysia or whatever fag is flavor of the month

>>2451642
I'm fine with people posting anime stuff, so long as they're drawing with the purpose of trying to improve, and show at least a basic grip of the fundamentals.

Bad artists can go to the Beginner thread, people fishing praise can go to a draw thread outside of /ic/, and people wanting to talk about drama can fuck off to /b/ or /v/.

Literally the sole purpose of /ic/ is for people who wanna learn how to draw/paint better. It doesn't what your style is, so long as you're trying to get better.

>>2451656
You know all of this can be easily avoided if you all just had a bit of self control and not reply to obvious bait/shitposting. But I almost forgot I'm on /ic/ of course that's not going to happen of course you're all complicating yet another trivial matter and of course you're all making it worse by blowing things out of proportion.

You brought this on yourselves /ic/ you got no one to blame but yourselves because you enjoy it so admit it just admit it.

>>2451656
I wish the mods would be more active. I'm generally not for interference by the mods, but they need to do something. Right now, all they seem to do is delete images that break the rule, and that's that. They could at least do something about the worst shitposters, and the ones who never contribute anything to /ic/.

>>2451605
>being this delusional

>>2451670
its more that there's nothing to gain from posting on /ic/ except horrible "critiques", why bother when you can get real critiques elsewhere without all the shitposting and amatuer advice?

>>2451667
Im just pissed at the fact that the malaysia shitposting fucked up /ic/. We got loads of shitposting on other fags but this one actually made a fucking big ass dent on this board.

what kind of place did malaysia rattle that breeds premium grade autists like these?

>>2451674
>mods
>on /ic/

>>2451676
/ic/ has actually given me fairly good critique in the past few days

not in this thread, but in the general draw thread, got some reminders for line weight, consistent stylization, etc.

>>2451674
The forum is anonymous. That's the vice of anonymity. Tbh, this place should get posting IDs like pol, or int, or whatever other boards do it.

>>2451676
That's probably what I'll do desu. I have an account over on cubebrush I haven't used since my computer broke. I'll probably just head back there. People are more well-behaved when their reputation is on the line.

Only reason I come to these forums is to try and improve, not to talk about some faggot I've never heard of, or deal with shitposters and false flaggers. I got /v/ for that.

>>2451675
I can reset my router too anon.

this is like the ss4 version autism. i mean for fucks sake mods deleted fuckin porn threads and came down to warn us of global 3. the fuck is that shit for, cant they just ban the salty spamming shitheads?

>>2451691
>Tbh, this place should get posting IDs like pol, or int, or whatever other boards do it.

It takes like 3 seconds to change your IP on a VPN it won't stop anybody.

>>2451686
I mean yeah there's some, but 90% of critiques are
>b-but look her arm is off 3.2 degrees!
or other such nonsense.

>>2451695
This is actually fairly bullshit by the mods as we shouldn't be restricted in what we can draw.

Might make a thread on /q/ later if I can be arsed to.

Its a bit stylized so the proportions are bit fucked but is the body okay

>>2451721
Not really, no.

>>2451721

>>2451725
Well.... anytips on fixing it?

>>2451731
You'd want to fix the symmetry and proportions, avoid hiding arms, hands and feet. Legs aren't really that straight, you might want to look at some artists you like and photo reference. Flesh around exposed bone doesn't really fold or twist that way. The balance seems alright enough and the head is pretty cute.

>>2451595
I was posting from my phone and it said I was banned for CP. Weird. Must have been a dynamic IP problem.
Anyway..
>>2451605
I don't think anyone has the patience to samefag just to get under your skin. You're not that special.
Honestly, you should investigate what might make an anon say "it's shit from the neck down" instead of complaining that they're just nitpicking too late into the drawing. Clearly something doesn't read well. I think you're too attached to this drawing and that's why you're being so defensive. Try stepping away from it for a little while and come back to it. That usually helps when you can't see errors right away.
I'm not trying to start shit. Just wanted to point out that your mindset for making and improving art could use some work.

>>2451741
Yeah the folds where part of a unitard, her pose was supposed to be like a balarina. But yeah i obviously havent seen many balarina so i will defenetly check out some trefrences
