fucking kill me

WHY ARE THESE SKINNY LINES SO HARD

>>2537449
i'm just a beginner but in reality is a shit ton of short strokes and CTRL+Z

I learned by watching live streams of artists on nico live

>>2537449
also i personally prefer using a soft point brush for lineart
your lines are far too neat imho

>>2537463
that actually makes me feel better about my own shameful psd history, thanks. i'll try shorter lines.

idk why this is so hard when it'd be easy if i were just painting it. i guess painting is more building up and piece and this reduction is tapping into places in my brain that have atrophied.

the grind never ends

>>2537463
>>2537471

actually, doing lineart is a mix of long and short lines. only doing "a shit ton of short strokes" encourages chickenscratch and unconfident lines

and in my opinion >>2537449 isn't too neat at all, just a bit bland. But atleast they're clean looking

>>2537483
yeah, sorry i meant "fast lines"..?

my english is not good enough

>>2537491
well, scuse me then, you're right. I thought you meant doing many short lines.

>>2537483
nah, i agree. i'm either gonna do another pass or start up a new piece. from what i can tell from peeping some of those pixiv tutorials, they keep their initial sketches thin-lined as well, so maybe that'll work better for me.

If the person who brought up the OC exchange in the last thread is still around this is the character I want to use, I probably wont be able to draw yours until tomorrow though.

Still a reminder that there's plenty of space for any artists who want to join in the group photo! The more people the better!

Well, there was some minor chitchat about a psuedo art exchange so if you have the extra time:
Post your oc - Possibly get it drawn
Same rules of /ic/ apply though, so expect critique if it comes up

At the end of the day, even if not much comes out of it, it'd be nice to see your character designs.

>>2537641
Apologies, I felt the call of food. I'll have something for you soon as well

>>2537761
>FILE DELETED
Global rule 3?

>>2537761
That size was ridiculous. Sorry.

>>2537762
>>2537763
Ah, never mind.

>>2537764
Hah, yeah. 3000x6000 was a bit much

you know you need to draw more when you post the same picture too much

>>2537708

Rinfag pls draw a giant muscle loli for the group pic

a crying yandere girl.

>>2537435
look at all them semen demons

>>2537763
Yeah I'll draw her, wait til tomorrow night though.

>>2537763
Wait, is this your character or are you still coming up with one?

>>2537887
Yep thats my choice

>>2537908
Alright I'll start soon as I sleep this drunk off.

I am so angry that I am still so fucking bad that the other day I drank for like 2 days straight.

>>2537948

keep drinking. you aren't going to get any better any time soon with that attitude.

>>2537850
hey berry add yourself as well in the group pic

>>2537824
feel free to move my character!

anybody wanna oc exchange with me?

>>2538062
changed hairstyle a little
>>2534585

>>2537435

>>2538062
one day I will learn to draw lolis so I can do trades with you

wip, taking long

might went too crazy with colors, what do you think? lol

>>2538515
This would look way better with a soft ambient light source instead of a harsh direct one like this.

>>2538522
"muh style", jk, but gotta keep it like that tho

>>2538515
Try muting some of the blues.

Having a really saturated electric blue can help create focus to certain areas (the top of her scepter, or the flower in her hair). So I would definitely keep it there, but at the same time the rest of the blue on that picture is too saturated to create any real contrasts (the other colors are fine).

Anything I need to fix?

>>2538546
head at a biologically impossible angle for that neck and upper torso, considering you're looking down at her.

swing your own chin from right to left, and you can see the natural range is a c-shape that gets smaller when you futz with angles of your head beyond straight forward.

more minor nitpick - consider the heee of the shoe. if she's in a full crouch on her right leg, the heel would have to be massively tall to compensate for her foot not looking closer to the ground than the start of her thigh, which isn't coming off in the sketch.

Kurwa commisison

>>2538729
just found you a ref by a complete accident

>>2538851
Ah thanks w

she's supposed to be in shibari so i guess the details are allowed to be a bit different?

i dont have it in me to clean this up

>>2537854

>>2539375
Mikusquid torso looks really long, a bit too long but the lines are nice. Like the cyborg on the left though, can't wait to see how that turns out.

The schoolgirl on the right looks nice although the hand feels really weird, and the lighting is a bit all over the place.

>>2539375
Why right looks like utter crap and left looks competent, good even?
You are using a reference don't you? I hope so, tracing wouldn't be any good

>>2539383
bro... it's a group pic

Everybody is drawing a character and adding it to the group

>>2539386
I don't trust you

fixed a little my chara

>>2537854
the colors are so goooood

>>2538860
aaand done

>>2539239
That's a massive neck.

>>2539375
OOh very nice! getting there.

>>2539383
It's just a group pic of artists from /ic/ who are willing participants. Skills of the artists varies obviously but it's just a harmless fun group pic.

>>2539523
un readable.

>>2537435

>>2539631
>>2539684
like pottery

>>2539523
nice

I think it was the outfit that made the torso look long? Tried again

Another Ricky and Mort character.

>>2539857
it's perfect!

really good fps, nice flow!

I would prefer it with bigger size, even if "pixels" are bigger, it doesn't matter at all, it's pixel art, don't stick to nowadays pixel/inches

>>2539857
How do I get as good as you senpai?

>>2539837
Problem is there is too much clothes. String bikini

>>2539872
Here

>>2539877
I would just post it without anything for Art's sake and to help show where I'm struggling with in anatomy but you could thank your censorship for that.

>>2539857
Thats a really light cape

>>2539885
Just post it. Nobody actually, literally and physically gives a shit.

>>2539523
Really very nice and good
Nice design and attention to detail on the gag, I hate when people just draw plain ball gags with nebulous "straps" attached
How long did this take you total?

I'm only a lurker, but wow, I hadn't known anyone here was this skilled. This is just amazing!
>>2540518
This too- Really, really nice.

>>2540535
Thanks man.

>>2537449
>>2537463
Please don't do this, guys. You're cripplingly yourself long term - Why bother 'perfecting techniques' when you're being lazy and skipping the most basic step that is linework?

Assuming you're working with a small-medium tablet, draw in slow movements from your ELBOW, not short flicks from your wrist. It'll also reduce long-term damage to your joints.

>I remember when this was like, the number 1# rule on /ic/.

>>2540185
I love u anon Manbavaran best girl.

>>2540706
You... don't have to wrist-draw to do short lines, bro.

>>2540774
Needs less clothes.

>>2540775
But let's be honest, anon, 90% of them do it.

>>2540708

Expand if needed!

>>2540909
Love. Sucy is best witch, good taste and great interpretation anon. Nice perspective and use of color too

>>2537435

(not my art)
I love the colors in this (atleast the background, the character not so much) but I am not sold on the rough brush strokes combined with the soft blur effect. I feel the picture would be more successful if it was painted loosely rather than having the obvious filter. What do you think?

>>2541291

>>2540185
blog?

>>2540185

yeaah, you got a blog?

>>2541292
>>2541291
Nah, I think for the purposes of the image (very clean, sharp edges and something to appeal to commercial use), the filter is suitable. While a more painterly approach would be nicer in other ways, the filter is just a faster, cleaner technique, which is sometimes the best approach.

Hey
I'd like some input on how this came out.
Critiques and such
It's one i rendered pretty heavily which i dont do to often...

>>2541443

What's in the bag? Why does he have sunglasses but no eyes? WHY DOES THE KID HAVE 12 DIGITS PER FINGER?

>>2541450
Calm down anon thats too many questions!

>>2541454

I'M THE ONE ASKING QUESTIONS HERE, NOT YOU!

>>2541358
this is great. blog?

>>2541462

why did you delete your reddit account?

Why is it that even though I can draw regular faces just fine, I absolutely cannot into anime?

Are there any decent guides to drawing anime when you already know how to draw?

>>2541697

Is this bait? Your "fine" face is anything but.
The sad truth is your fundamentals are weak, anon.

>>2541701
Go on

>>2541703

you are shit and lying to yourself.

>>2541707
Go on

>>2541697
Honestly it's kind of like with studies of realism. Draw from shows you're watching or just look at stills/fanart.

>>2541708
Go on

>>2541697
Since you know the anatomy of the face you can now go and look at whatever show you like and analyze it to see how they do it.

Ultimately though you're gonna realize that the anime style is shit and have to come up with something for yourself.

sketches for friends. im way out of practice on digital

>>2541697
you have to finish your construction you did the head/jaw alright, the important thing is to draw the volume of the face, for that you only need to follow the contour of the middle of the face going trought the nose, then place everything else because you have settled some basic construction with that

eyelline is around half the head on anime

how to do it yourself?
1 take a fucking reference
2 don't copy it at all, but use it

>>2541804
Thanks, that's actually damn useful. Also realized I was fucking up my cheekbones/eye sockets big time, now I think I can situate that face construction in 3d better.

feelin rusty
gonna be a pain in the ass fixing all mistakes so far

>>2541804

your heads are so cute

>>2541804
blog?

more shibari w

wip

>>2541397

Well I don't really care about the commercial aspect, I'm thinking purely in terms of aesthetics. I can't really think of a painting at the moment that fits my description though.

>>2541929
Oh man. That's pretty cool. Like the colors too. Really brings a mood and scene into my head.

oh god please help me make her less uncanny

What's a good guideline for drawing/placing eyes on your typical moe face? I've seen all sorts of things, from under the eye line, to on the eye line, to drawing two eye lines, and even the position of the eye line itself seems to change.

>>2542590
I think your underlying gesture and expression are pretty weak, it looks like a mannequin with really good anatomy and rendering that was posed.

I don't really have any recommendation on how to fix it, but consider sketching gesture and more dynamic poses and expressions to help with further drawings.

>>2542590
the tilted up foot & that whole leg is just fucked, im sorry. make it straight and stick out to the side more if you really want the foot kicking up, or just put it flat on the ground.
wrist holding bag looks reeally stiff/tense/slilghtly broken
and hand on hip is just a little awkward too, not sure how to fix that one soz dude

>>2542600
Yeah I agree with you. I think I began polishing a turd sketch and then it was just too late to turn back. I might just leave it now lol

>>2541443
look at that super basic image of a sphere shaded (like attached but there are others) for the skulls + beachball + basically everything. if the light is coming from the right, dont just start lightest to the right and then gradient to darkest on the farthest left edge. there's rim light/reflective light on the far side. basically you're putting the core shadow on the very edge, not inside the form like it is in this pic

>>2542601
mkay well I butchered it a bit. does this look like a less weird pose?

pls ignore the square tits

Also I still don't quite get hair.

The pose if off, either that or he has one leg longer than the other

>>2542598
Study, or atleast compare and contrast, loomis heads with animu head. Animu heads have large foreheads and large eyes; duh. But when you compare loomis heads with animu heads, look at the measurements.

>>2541358

Should i keep a BG ?

>>2542979
i'd render the bg in some more and it should be nice.

Some Legend of Zelda fanart, at this point in my paintings I always cringe away from completing them. Can someone redpill me on how dumb this actually looks and how I can fix it?

Not necessarily, should look great when you add the tones.

How do you guys get your linework so nice??
I hope this is okay to ask in this thread since outlines are for stylized artwork in my humble opinion. Do you just take the pen tool and go for it??
not a beginnerfag, I just try to make the digital leap from traditional to digital

>>2543289
The perspective of the staff is wrong, the cross end implies that the staff is angled more toward the camera while the front talon part looks as if the staff is in profile toward the camera. It overall gives the whole thing a flat look

>>2543421
Jesus this is awesome

I'm gonna try to paint it. wish me luck.

>>2543171
So the left tit needs to be further to the left?

Something for the pokemon thread.

>>2543445
The talon looks like its in profile, but Im sure you mean the cross is angled away from the camera seeing as how you can see the underside of the middle bar

>>2543545
>Hiding hands

Don't bother, trash it spend a week studying hands and draw something else without hiding fucking hands. I can let the lower limbs and feed slide but not the fucking hands you piece of crap.

>>2543648
I can draw hands just fine. I was originally just going to make this a portrait does that trigger you even harder?

>>2543654
I haven't even started yet faggot

>generic 3/4 view

What is she doing why is she standing like that why did you crop the knee out why are you trying to hide vital anatomical parts such as the trapezius with hair why does her head jutt out away from the neck?

>>2543688
>What is she doing why is she standing like that
she's just standing there doing nothing I just wanted to spend a couple minutes drawing a loli whats your problem man why are you so angry.

>>2543688
>why are you trying to hide vital anatomical parts such as the trapezius
dude the hairstyle I chose just hides that part do you have autism or something?

I mean damn it's not a good drawing or anything but it's not like I came in here saying I was some hot shit or something. I was just posting in the thread. I mean thanks for the critique and everything I'll try to do better next time but calm down.

>>2543688
autism

>>2543700
The fact that you could not convincingly connect the head onto the torso tells me other wise it is clear just like you hid the hands you're also conveniently hiding other parts of the figure as an attempt to compensate for the lack of knowledge.

Stop giving petty excuses this isn't DA where you could write an entire fucking blog on your comment section about the character and why she's hiding hands because she is some Vietnam vet that lost her upper limbs or some crap like that.

>>2543545
this looks off to me, which is shameful because I do think it's quite cute, tried to redline tell me what you think <3
good luck coloring anon

>>2543705
I didn't know you had to have every hairstyle be an updo so the entire neck is visible and every pic has to be a full body where you can see the feet.

fuck off autist footfag

>been using 4chan for years
>just now realized that /ic/ exist

Shit.

Also daily garbage from yesterday.

>>2543700

While his aggressive critique may be off putting, what he said is pretty correct. I would work on the expression/position for future stuff and fix stuff up like the neck/legs positioning before deciding to color it. The biggest issue to me is the positions funky. >>2543709 would be pretty good to follow.

>>2543713
Let me reiterate something to you.
>The fact that you could not convincingly connect the head onto the torso tells me other wise
It is painfully obvious you are hiding parts of the figure in order to compensate now if you had demonstrated in a manner such as this sugar coating butt grab playing faggot here >>2543709 it would of worked with the hair regardless of whatever hairstyle you chose but no you insist on being a defensive prick.

>>2543719
>1464718862195
thank you. I know it's a boring drawing. I'm not going to make excuses as to why I decided to draw it. Next time maybe I'll make it more interesting.

>>2543721
What's so obvious about it? I drew the head and hair way before I drew the body/neck. I didn't know it would be in the way. Sure I could have drawn a pony tail to satisfy your autism but I didn't. Sorry

>>2543721
Thank you, except I don't grab butt

>>2543724
don't do that anymore, draw the figure before you draw hair
>>2543721
Thank you, I don't grab butt tho

>>2543724
Quit trying to be defensive, just get back on the horse and draw more mane

>>2542932
Any critique?
Maybe different color scheme
is the dude too anime?

im just going through my icloud and drawing what i see/get inspired from so i can finally delete all these photos

How is this?

>>2544101
looks a little ayyy lmao

>>2544104
Thanks, is this a bit better?

cave girl that i drew today , i rush the lower part of the body and Im pretty new to the color

>>2544191
Your values are off. You need to stick to the local value more. Like the shadow value of the skirt and the shadow value of the skin are almost identical despite the local values being different.

>>2544200
local values?, it seems that I need to read and practice the principles of color theory.

>>2544213
Local values are like the inherent value of the object regardless of lighting. Local colour is the same for colour. So a banana has a local colour of yellow, and a local value that is fairly light. A watermelon has a local colour of green and a darkish local value. A banana in the light is lighter than a watermelon in the light. And a banana in the shadow is lighter than a watermelon in the shadow.

>>2544218
cool, thanks bro

>>2537435
Requesting a redline, color critique, can I somehow integrate Panty into this, basically just roast me /ic/.

>>2544337
do you have the sketch of her body before you added the clothes?. If not, then there isn't too much to criticize since its not finished.

>>2544363
I don't actually. Oops.

>>2544337
That face looks terrible and the ground symbol perspective doesn't fit the chair's

>>2544442
stage left eye seems to be drifting too close to the side of her face, I would move it in a little
this is also simultaneously hilarious and adorable, gj

>>2544191
the easy way to handle color theory is doing step by step, everything is so close in values, cape shadows are so much lighter
skin lacks saturation

use a multiply layer to do shadows over the top, so everything is pused the same., you can then paint with that value or do on your way

forms are good job

>>2544108

>>2543246

>>2544492
drawing is good, you color/values/bg are a knee in the eye

Trying to warm up again. Scribbled some shit, then drew the girl from a ref.

>>2544482
this, reduce the head size a little more and eye size, also breast need to go back to the way they were

Daily scribble. Been way too busy to do anything of relative progress towards getting better.

>>2544501
wow yours looks much better. i really need to relearn basic color theory

>>2544515
looks like a pedo's how to

>>2544522

Lol. Thank you I needed that. I really shouldn't of even bothered with the man at all. Or at least made it a woman. Really I just shouldn't have bothered but I feel bad not doing any art in a day.

>>2544515
mata?

Did you mean mou ikkai?

Cute tho

>>2538515
the left footing isnt selling that well, it doesnt look like its sitting on the ground. other than that, maybe desaturate some of the harsher colors and its great.

>>2544101

here's your (You)

>>2544525

Probably.

some more crap. I promise the next thing I upload will be worth a damn. Hopefully.

>>2544549

>that ass

Is that some missed shading/black around it's mouth/leash part? It's just a white spot and it kind of stands out, like it's meant to be black, unless it has some big goofy teeth. I like it though.

>>2544549
niiiiiiiiiiice, man. Looks like a spinoff on the dota 2 comics.

>>2544551
you mean the gap south of the donkey's mouth? that I just missed, but it's the space between his mouth and the reins

>>2544482
Hi M!

I like a lot of your pieces over tumblr. so thanks a bunch for your feedback, I particularly like what you did with her leg, I will fix its current issues, perhaps get rid of the blue lines and call it done

>>2544509
I'm still trying to find something with appeal on my own perhaps that's why I have to do a lot of revisions on my stylized works :/

SCRAP IT AND STUDY HANDS FOR A FEW WEEKS THEN TRY AGAIN YOU PIECE OF CRAP.

jk. very nice anon. Anyway I'm almost done with this stupid drawing. I tried to learn how to paint something for once but I am feeling kind of lost on how to finish it. I don't even know if the shadows are right at all. Especially on the dress/face. I might add a background later too.

>>2544837
kek i just 2lazy2draw the hand and its look better when i put it on back on her body

and btw

SCRAP IT AND STUDY HANDS FOR A FEW WEEKS THEN TRY AGAIN YOU PIECE OF CRAP


jk your drawing cute anon

>>2544837
>SCRAP IT AND STUDY HANDS FOR A FEW WEEKS THEN TRY AGAIN YOU PIECE OF CRAP.

Ayo good job on polishing a turd, the neck is still fucked up. So what did you learn in doing so? Did you even look at the godamn redline?

>>2544832
Your drawing would be ten times better if you didn't hide hands, hands alone provide an entire new level of gesture therefore it is crucial to show hands even if it's just one fucking hand.

If you ever want to measure the skill of another Artist, pay close attention to how they draw hands.

>>2544884
hmm i learned a bit with AO, i learned a lot with painting since that was my second attempt at painting.

Yeah, the neck is still weird, next drawing will be better :)

>>2544905
You didn't learn a godamn thing.

>>2544910
Actually I learned a lot from your critiques, thank you for those by the way. I have learned from the mistakes of this drawing and will do better next time, painting this has taught me a lot too. :)

>>2544597

Yeah that's what I meant. Just tired af

>>2544837

Hands do a lot. You could of had a way better drawing then you do now If you had paid attention to the criticism you obtained. The red line was easy enough to follow and the fixes would have literally taken seconds.

>>2544915
I mean I fixed the shoulder and the neck with the redline, I was just too lazy to fix the leg, but I got the point and learned from it.

>>2544832
Give that girl a fucking burger. You shouldnt be able to see that much of her ribs.

Is it ok ?
I'm aware that i still need to work on the lineart

>>2544940
u hid the neck and from what i see you cant realistically connect it to the body

>>2544940

Left shoulder is a bit funky, since it almost implies she's shrugging with how it's higher/on level with the neck. I mean I know she's leaning her head in a little to look down but it seems a bit much.

quick question that I thought would belong here more than in the general question thread
How do you get inspiration for what to put in the background of your animu drawings??
I don't know what the heck to put back there all I care about is drawing my hentai and there's just like a lame ass solid background. Any tips?

r8

The red arms are too saturated. And the face looks wrong. Probably the mouth's placement, but I think the eyes should be improved too.

>>2544964
Just look at other drawings for references.

>>2544989

>for you

>>2544940
>>2544946
>>2544955
Now i see what you told me. The mistakes were literally connected.Is it better now ?

>>2545059
very nice anon.

>>2545059

Pretty good. Cute anon.

>>2544989

The face looks incredibly weird. Like anon said, the eyes and the mouth are just off. The guns angle seems a bit weird, and that may just be me but from that angle shouldn't the tank things on the bottom be facing more torwards the front?

Also I'll agree with anon, the material/saturation of the arms almost looks like they should be rubber or metallic, but it doesn't particularly work with the rest of her outfit. Maybe make her grip on the robot head/mask a bit tighter looking to imply the arms strength if there is something special (like some robot arms)

I like the pose/idea, just looks weird.

i have found hell and it's trying to figure out the folds of the hakama.

any crits for the pants, hat, and fan? that's what i'm the most worried about.

>>2545150
any redlines for the hat would be incredibly appreciated, btw.

being a clone jerkoff here
what did I fuck up.

>>2545201
What the hell even with the titties

Like what's your intention? Them to be pressing against something? Because otherwise they just look incredibly fucked up.

Spending such a long time on pieces of shits is fun.

>>2545204
JESUS CHRIST HAHAHAHAHA

>>2545203
yeah that was it, shit I better redo them.

oh dear god how do I fix her screen left arm... ugh

>>2542741
progress

>>2545212
desu there's a lot more than her left arm that needs fixing e.g. her left "foot"

>>2545218
no shit - budd, im trying to work at one thing at a time, like look how fucking massive her left butt/thigh is dear lord help me

>>2545212
What picture did you trace?

>>2544027
Looks like your standard anime kid, simple and ready for animation, no one says anything because there's nothing wrong.

>>2545223
didnt trace shit - I did use some shitty stock for ref for the legs cause f that cross leg bs.

Hi. Can I please get a crit and/or redline on my xXx2edgy4uXxX sketch, please?

>>2545214
tats should be darker I think

>>2545240
3edgy5me

>>2545207
Damn dude. We all know it is bad but there are worse drawings out there. At least he is trying to get better.

>>2545240
got a blog anon?

>>2545261
not that anon but if you don't want to make a fool of yourself grinding til you can make a halfway decent sketch and then making forays into rendering attempts is a better way to go about it.

>>2545212
I tried to help? I'm not that great at drawing though.

>>2545260
shoot sorry bro didn't see your redline before I posted, well yours is better anyway.

>>2545240
I want to see this done and also if you have a blog

>>2545260
>>2545264
Cool, thank's so much! I'm going to work on trying to fix it and doing lineart now.

As for a serious blog, not really. I have a tumblr I post my art on, but I also post everything else on it to, mostly roleplaying...

>>2545212
why the fuck would you even try those legs dude, they're too hardcore

my best effort

pls halp, i can't into anatomie

killmenow

>>2545286
Use references. Off the top of my head, googling "figure skating" seems like it would work for similar poses.
Also her right leg is hella long.

This was a fun 3 days. I almost didn't finish it on the account of me passing out at a theater only to wake up to paramedics.

>>2545266
>not that great
>does great red lines

>>2545265
Hmm.. I guess you are right. I mean now that it has been a couple hours I do see things that need to be fixed. I thought the sketch as a whole looked "meh" but once I colored it she looked kinda ayylmao. However the only part that I personally think looks "decent" are the lines for the ties for the bikini. Ahh well onto the next sketch.

here is a new draw I did today considering the local values of the characters (skin of the girl more ligh and green of the monster more dark).

>>2545212
This is cute, but I have no idea what you're trying to do with the legs and feet.

>>2544470
I use multiple layers to do shadows (2 or 3), I just suck adding color. Im going to see proko videos about shading mmm.

>>2545315
tips for the future if you're pursuing animeshit:
eyes/eyebrows/ears lowered
crown/top of head narrower
hair more voluminous

also what is that hairstyle
it might be personal preference but any kind of ponytail/twintail doesn't look nice without fringe/bangs on that side. otherwise it looks too severe and kinda tasteless. only exception is really little moeblob kids

good luck sketch moar

>>2545321
One thing I am confused on is that many tutorials say to cut the circle into 3rds and that the eyes and ears are supposed to be in that middle area. But I've noticed that the eyes 99% of the time do seem a bit high. Could I also be simply making the chin too low? Here is what I started out with.

>>2545335
Why did you move the ear out to make her head look twice as wide? Your sketch had it under the hair and that is where it should be, not moved to be growing from her bangs.

There's more wrong with that picture (maybe redline anon can help you) but that is one of the glaring things

>>2545335
creepy but true: looking at pictures of children's skulls can help a lot with moeshit heads.

>>2545266

Ive been lurking on /ic/ for quite awhile now and this is the first time ive ever gotten feedback.
Thanks.

>>2545294
thanks qt!

>>2545347
It just kept looking weird. But like I said, looking at it now I think I simply made the ears too big when I was lining it. I probably should have just covered the right ear with hair.

>>2545351
Really? I guess I'll try that.


Thanks.

>>2545352
well, the legs provided an interesting challenge. generally that'll get more responses.

>>2545240
>>2545271
Line of it. Will color tomorrow. Please point out anything I can fix c:

>>2545456
That face looks really ugly. The nose shape and eyes placement are fucked up.

>>2545204
>>2545315
>>2545335
Tried a second attempt for tonight. I think it's an improvement.

>>2545516
This looks much better.

lf feedback

>>2537641
I couldn't get the expressions I wanted to work out so I guess I'll leave it as is. Hopefully it isn't too bad
>>2540518
This is really cool, thank you for taking the time! Sorry again, If I had looked at the thread, I would've done something lewd to match yours

>>2545556
Nice! Got a blog? I'll link it on hentai foundry.

Inking digitally blows big veiny dick. I inked from the bottom up, and it looks inconsistent...

I finally drew something without a reference. It is admittedly uninspired. I will attempt to finish tomorrow.

>>2542603
keep it up anon

Beady eyes because I can't draw normal eyes.

>>2545587
>tfw inking on cintiq
>literally drawing on glass
Inking is infinitely better on a normal tablet with a piece of art paper overlaying it.

>>2545692
>Cintiq
I imagine lineart/markmaking would be more natural because you would glide the pen tip across the surface like what you would do with a pen and paper.

How long have you had it? And do you think you'll eventually get used to the glassy surface?

>>2545698
I had it for 2 years, although you'll eventually get used to the glass, it'll be a hard transition if you're used to drawing with more friction.

Tried to draw a qt witch. r8?

>>2545747
What is she looking at why is she looking away from the viewer but her head is in front profile it is very awkward nobody does this people turn their head to the area they're paying attention to and they focus on the subject a normal person wouldn't fucking look with the corners of their eyes unless they have some sort of social anxiety disorder or simply autistic which leads me to believe you yourself have some form of dysfunction.

>>2545748
You're kinda being stupid, its just a pose. Every manga/manhua/comic/whatever artist does that kind of thing - the glance to the side at senpai or such. Does every "cutesy" look have to be realistic?
Chill out.

>>2545747
It looks appropriately qt, anon.

>>2545748
Aren't you maybe too nitpicky, anon? It's a cute looking side glance at most.

>>2545747
I like your lines anon, they're pretty clean. It's cute too.

>>2545748
Maybe she's just very shy anon, don't judge.
>>2545761
>>2545765
Thanks!

>>2545770
>critique board
>don't judge

>>2545761
>>2545765
If she is trying to be shy it should also show in the body language with her head looking down trying to avoid contact and her upper torso perched up a bit to help show this gesture what I see is a stiff half ass attempt at a generic pose done countless times in a comfort zone.

I bet you faggots do the same exact shit too with the same awkward looking away at some random corner shit because you don't know how to now give something a thousand yard stare you don't know how to communicate you don't know how to make something focus attention to give something readable and not something awkward and weird this shit needs to stop and your only excuse is it's cute though XD

>>2545775
>implying i was serious about the statement
I re-positioned the eyes if they bother you that much, anon.

>>2545780
make it more /a/ and less /co/

>>2545775
This place is becoming more and more DA where people just post to get (you's) and rates instead of a critique. I mean fuck man there's tens of other fucking sites that specialize in this form of ass pat with upvotes and likes and favorites and that sort of shit but no that doesn't suffice they have to fucking go on an Anonymous chinese forum board for some unknown reason it defies logic.

>>2545784 new thread

Doesn't anyone in these threads ever want to draw stuff besides anime?

>>2545541
Base color and rendering both look better than the final product, which is really disappointing.
I think there's very little color theory in practice, from a first impression standpoint it looks like you just set the shading layer to "darken" and did nothing more.

>>2545780
neat! blog!
>>2545747
arm in the behind is most def fucked though. Draw through the form

wip

>>2545541
The heavy black line work on the final ruin it. Needs to have colour on the lines too. See something like Mark Brooks for what I'm talking about.
