Repoasting just in case

Reposting
was originally going to do an evening-ish scene, but trying out a night scene as suggested
which one would bring out the mood better?

!!CANCER CONTAINMENT FIELD ACTIVATED!!

You folks know what to do.

>tfw getting less shitty every week
I almost dont despise myself
I still suck, but hey, marginally better!

>>2567445
honestly, its the greatest feeling. Seeing something one did themselves and it is looking good. Nothing better in the world.

>>2567437
right better!

cleaning this is already hurting me

>>2567177
didn't notice the new thread link in the old thread whoops
not using lazy nezumi, but my drawing program is firealpaca

WIP

am I on the right patch with the rendering? any tip welcome

>>2567598
looks pretty good to me. The edges of the arm and leg should probably catch light. Things will look nice once you're done cleaning and do a second pass on shading and highlights, pay a bit more attention to her skin to make it a bit shiny and add some subsurface scattering.

>>2567426
>AAMG
what's the m for? haven't been here in a while

>>2567598
nice work
the wrist-hand connection could be better on both hands, especially her left

>>2567700
Mahou, It really is AASG.

>>2567532
The tower (?) behind Link lines up with him too well. I think you should move it, because at first glance, I mistook it for a massive ass sword.

Also was that tower in the gameplay they showed off or nah?

>>2567744
What if I move Link a little to the left? That'd be a lot easier.

And yeah, the tower is this one. Not sure where it is though.

>>2567759
Yeah, a little overlap between figures could create more depth, I think. And thanks for the screenshot. Didn't realized they showed off more buildings, other than the church from the beginning.

Give it to me straight doc, don't sugar-coat it.

Give it to me straight doc, don't sugar-coat it. How could I make stiff like this better?

MODS

>>2567918

Loomis, Vilppu, Proko, etc
Study construction, anatomy, gesture and copy the artists you like. Rinse and repeat. You just need more mileage

>>2567925
Gotcha'. Thank you very much.

>>2567927

I mean I could give you some crits for each individual drawing (frankly I'm not going to bother because I'm too tired) and sure, it would be helpful, but it's just that I see a lot of tiny (and some not so tiny) mistakes in proportion and anatomy etc. that the only way to fix those are by long term study. As long as you study intelligently all those things will self-correct

>>2567918
who is she?

Linework done

>>2567961
I want to bongo Kongou

Before I keep going, does the anatomy of this make any sense?

the top of her torso is twisting to the right, while the bottom and her legs are sort of facing forward. I am not sure if that looks right, or if I'm drawing the anatomy right at all. I just need some feedback.

>>2567963
Go ahead

>>2567928
I was just so satisfied with what I read because I'm so unsure of what I should be doing at this point. I'll just keep drawing all the good geometric shapes, do two-hour pixelovely gesture classes, and keep going through "keys to drawing" s'more I think.

>>2567941
it says it right there.

>>2567961
No calves!

someone tell me how to get good at art

>>2567025
Thanks M! Maybe plain was not the correct word, I'm aware of its convex shape that is why I was confused when the other anon said they were not.

Truly worried now that you say that the head is too small :/

>>2567177
>>2567179
I guess it serves me well for trying to reply with a drawing at this point

I have some questions regarding thumbnails: am I supposed to just choose which appeals the most to me? If it's a commission should I show them to the client too?

>>2568003
No, I wrote that your breasts sometimes look concave, which is the opposite of convex. M is right, though - bad torso anatomy is probably the culprit.

>>2568029
My bad anon, sorry.

made a card for someone. It's been so long since I inked that I forgot it smears

Progress.

Makes me sad to know that there won't be a co-op mode in the game, and the Zelda won't be able to ride on Wolf Link.

The Ghibli style is intentional (obviously).

>>2568515
Hey, you're that guy with the fan art on /v/ from yesterday, right?
Good stuff m8o, your warrior Zelda design is better than Tetra or Sheik, works very well with the Ghibli vibe the game seems to have.

>>2568515

The characters and the background feel like they really don't jive together, it feels like they're just floating there. Probably because the characters have cleaner lineart/color and the background is a bit more loose and painterly.

>>2568515
I like this concept a lot, but I'm not so sure about the heavy lines on the characters/animals. It clashes with the environment's style a lot and makes them look somewhat out of place in that sense. There's also a very distinct yellow-light blue-shadow kind of look to the background that feels very nice, but isn't reflected in the characters, again, making them look kind of "stuck in there"
>>2568173
Cute. Tableguy?

>>2568515
You need to have some values in the foreground that go as dark as the values in the characters, including their linework.

>>2568562
>>2568578
Yeah, I'm going for something like pic related. With lineart figures and a painted background. Obviously I need to add a lot more detail to the bg, as well as some elements in the foreground. That's what comes next once I work out the shadows properly.

The shadows do have a slight blue tint on the characters, though I could defintely push it to a bluer color, I'll play around with it some.

>>2568584
Yeah, that's the idea.

>>2568556
Yeah man, that was me, haha. Yeah, I like my Zelda a lot too. It makes me kinda sad that the official Zelda probably won't look as cool.

I'm gonna do a full character painting of her holding a bow once I finish this. I really like the way her design came out..

look very flat

tried a chibi just for fun

>>2569038
Slightly blurry shadows always looks terrible.

>>2569041
gotcha, thanks!

Does anyone know how to get those textured thin lines like they use in anime character sheet lines and animation?

I know it starts in pencil what what do they digitally draw the lines with?

>>2569043
Try to blend them if you don't wish to go for Anime renders.

It's not a magic tool though. If your colors and shadows aren't good it won't work. Try to look for some pro drawings and see how they do it. The skirt's especially looks bad. gradiant tool can look quite bad when you don't use it properly too, and in your case you'll need to work more on it.

>>2569062
They just draw them manually? It's not different from another line.

>>2569065
was actually going for anime render

>>2569079
The blush is too big, resize it. Same for the two dots of light, make them smaller and put them higher.
Don't go too white with the colors of the eye.
You should change the highlights of the hairs, they're too small compared to the rest, doesn't works very well.
And remove that shadow gradient on top of the head, doesn't works.

>>2569071
I got solid lines, but no matter what thickness, program, textured brushes I just can't seem to get the same feel.

Manually I get that natural inconsistent look, but I'd like them for line art on my more detailed art styles on my digital character sheets.

>>2569098
I don't get your problem. If you can't draw those shading lines then I don't see how you can have "solid lines".

>>2569038

tried to point out what i felt wasn't quite right about this drawing and ended up doing like a redraw/redline kinda thing? most of these these are generally just my preferences but you might find them useful idk

>>2569109
Next teal?

>>2569114
Oh sod off nobody can be compared to Teal nobody.

>>2567964
torso is too long

>>2569100
I don't think you get what I'm asking, I didn't say anything about shaded lines.

But ya know what, sorry. When I went to look at my latest sheets, they're not really far off in feel so I'm fine.
Guess I've been on a hunt for so long I feel like I'm never even near there.

Thanks though.

>>2569109

part 2! more color oriented. desu i just wanted to finish this drawing bc i really like how it turned out. so here take this and Learn, my friends

>>2569178
nice bro but...

Mine was supposed to be a chibi drawing lol never done one before so tried to mix a nendoroid with some other drawings

Any critique ?

>>2569704
Looks good anon nice use of tones on the face, makes her look kind sick or depressed, while also very pretty.

>>2569704

meth addict

>>2569038
I'll just add some quick tips too
also, keep an eye out for lineweight

>>2569704
you should think that gray-color also pushes contrast just as values, if you do a really dark value with no saturation, with also a cold-warm contrast, you end with too far values, the contrast is too high

it would fit a campaignt against machist violence tho

If you're with photoshop, use a layer in "brighter color" mode, to only affect those exact values you need to fix

>>2569737
oh thanks!

>Tried jumping on the Chibi Bandwagon
>Remember I cant even draw
Eugh, but I like the concept I made

>>2569798
This bitch is just fun to draw
Still cant actually draw,
Her chest is just so boringly coloured, what could I do to make it more interesting

>>2569737
>Forehead cute
Okay

>>2569906
that caveman you posted has a very small forehead though. The guy you were replying to means the overall ratio between cranium size vs rest of the face. Little children and babies have very large cranium to jaw ratio, thus we associate it with cuteness. Literally one of the most basic ideas of stylization and design that you can find anywhere in western cartoons and anime. Disney even uses this principle in their animal designs if they want to show cuteness.

>>2569905

>>2569927
>Her first fan art
Anon, Im touched
Kinda upset that you drew her better than me
But thanks

lines done

>>2569935
Your arms are always too short or wonkily curved, you really need to increase their proportion to the rest of the body. It's literally always a thing for you, so I suggest taking whatever base pose you draw, and then increasing the size of the arms right after you sketch it out.

>>2569949
what about foreshortening?

>>2569923
Sarcasm officially died, huh?

>>2569934
well she is actually fun to draw

you should come back to /beg/ thread with me

You could have potential, anon

>>2569098
They are literally scanned pencil strokes by the cleanup artist.

>>2569949
>>2569935
ok so i lengthened left girl's arms a bit and added more cues on right girl's arms to make it look like it has at least some foreshortening due to going more into the background

Where?

>>2570021
it was more prominent in the sketch when i first saved the image with that filename :'(

>>2570004
????? where is this shadow coming from ?????
Other than that good work

>>2570058
it's supposed to be a top lighting scenario, tho i guess the direction of the lens flare kinda contradicts that

at the end of the day the lighting is supposed to be more stylized than realistic, though. realistically a shadow would never just exist as a line like that, but graphically it looks nice

maybe if i inverted the direction of the diagonal? had it higher on the left and lower on the right? ... i think that would resolve the issue youre pointing out while retaining the graphic nature of the image. i'll try it out

my only concern with that is the diagonal as it currently exists has a nice rhythm with the shape of the hat, but experimenting with it going a different direction isn't that hard to just try, so i'll see what it looks like thanks anon

>>2570058
>>2570068
something like this - does this help the problem?

>>2570068
Even stylized art has to follow logic. You can totally have a shadow contradicting the direction of the light, but you need to have a pretty good reason for doing it.

I think the character itself is good as it is. I wouldn't change the direction of the shadow. It's the lensflare what's causing the issue here and the fix would be changing it's position or removing it completely.

You can also probably just leave it as is and it would pass with a less demanding audience.

>>2570081
My friend offline recommended removing the lens flare, too, when I showed him both. He said he had no issue believing the shadow until the lens flare was added. I just removed it.

Thanks for your input anon. sounds like you and him are about on the same page.

>>2570073

I went ahead and changed a lot. I tried to make the butt cheeks more visible by using a kind of a weird shadow + raising the contrast of the background. Also I would stop hiding feet, guessing you aren't so good with them? Don't take this as critic as I'm just bending your artwork to show you different ideas. My english isn't that great, sorry if you didn't get my point :/

>>2570073
don't change it, no need to do, it's more aestethic as it was before, it doesn't need to make sense, it's not a 3D render

it does not follow form, but who cares, it's cartoon

and the redline makes no sense at all, it doesn't even indicate the direction of the light source, there's no x/z/y on that redline, that's not how to give critique about shadow calculation kek

>>2570091
I'm just fine drawing feet, there just wasnt a reason to draw them in this piece lol

>>2570094
but her left leg has been amputated to the knee ;_;

>>2570004
isn't that blue in the iris a litle too intense? if it's a style choice then i can accept it but if you wanted it to look like a reflection then yeah, it's too strong. it's could be a lightsource itself.

@Dajoubf33 thank you!

>>2570336
Have you been drawing long? You're quite good! But don't have many works yet.

>>2570330
the one on the left has a clearer read

>>2570338
like 3 years and a half! , and thank you again

>>2570340

lol one on the left was my ref. any tips on improving that?

>>2569098
Painter.

Use the 2B pencil.

>>2570349
http://www.floobynooby.com/comp1.html

think about the silhouette. also, push and pull shapes more. western animation typically has much more pushed anatomy. your anatomy is really safe.

>>2570349
>>2570384
also the stance is really straight - no rhythm or curvature.

the original is pretty straight in its designs but still manages to get more rhythm out of the design with how its posed

matessi's force figure drawing books are a good read for improving your rhythm and posing imo

>>2569525
blog?

underlying sketch for a painting. I don't care if it's chickenscratch or not, I go mad when I sketch.
how is it composition-wise?

>>2570443
>how is it composition-wise?
confusing

>>2570443
This isn't chickenscratch, it's just quickly done. It looks really cool, imo. But the values would have to be 100% on point for the composition to work decently. High risk, high reward

>>2570330
got a blog friendo?

>>2570489

i do!

>>2570091
Lol. What a jelly critt

lol spent so much time on this, cleaned up the lines and it's so fucking boring and just looks like shit and I feel empty

maybe coloring it will make it worth it.

Anybody else ever get that feeling after you finish a drawing? Like you just wasted a bunch of your life

>>2570683
>looks like shit
It looks good senpai, no need to bash yourself so hard. Looking forward to the color.

>>2569532

v cool anon, it's unusual but I like it

ミニスカート

>>2570802
(i'm gonna assume you're just some weeb as actual japanese people have nothing to look for here)
Her hair looks almost 2-dimensional and her right arm (especially the hand) seems freakishly disproportionate. The pose also seems kinda stiff (at least to me) but the legs are well-done.

Take everything that i say with a grain of salt though because I'm just as much of a know-it-all as the rest of this board.

>>2570802
damn she got man hands

alright, I changed it quite a bit and yeah, it's a mess.
do you have any suggestions on the composition? currently it feels like two pictures stuck together.
maybe that redline anon from above can give me some insights?

<done

>>2571099
you can't really call that a composition, there's no structure there, no rythm, I can't see any patron there, go for it anyway
to design a composition you must start first planning it, you can't try to find one after the sketch is done

>>2570317

>>2569062
Something to note is that anime tends to be very zoomed out compared to the original. For an idea of this look at a very large scan of an anime magazine image. Look at the lines up close, then zoom out and see how it looks different.

>>2571263
Thanks, that's a great idea anon.
You happen to have any HQ refs?

>>2571244
This is quite sad. Instead of doing something intuitive and challenging, you ended up doing the exact same thing as /ic/ does always. Just put that group of people kilometer away and its concept art.

>>2571268
Here's a link to one. You can also search by size under google images.

>>2571270
kek. don't be so fatalistic. it's a sketch and I am trying things out. maybe you're right. so you think the first drawing had more potential?

>>2571271
Appreciate it.
Seems I'll have to stop using perfect lines, you've helped me see that the lines don't sharpen and thin at the ends usually.
I know their digital but I'm still puzzled on the whole gritty look their getting past that they didn't fix some line errors giving it a natural feel.

Same feeling I got when I looked at the Little Witch Academia full sized character sheets.
One more mystery left to solve. Thanks again.

the black empty space above the head in the middle of the comp is odd. everything is super dark - use value groupings to organize comp into foreground midground background (see attached). reposition head so it's not almost at center of picture but not quite - either put it on a third or commit to the middle.

I am trying to make a compromise of both

Reposting in case turtle guy doesn't check the old thread.

Try to give some space to the buildings. Push things a bit farther and pay close attention to atmospheric perspective.
Be careful with for example the size of the tree on the turtle, bigger than an entire castle.

You can also push the colors and values a bit.

>>2571377
It makes no sense at all, the turtle is not related with your perspective grid and the shell city ignores it even more
I don't know if t he turtle is at the foreground and also at the background too, it seems so, pretty absurd

>>2571377

>>2571377
Oh, that's great!
I didn't really touch the turtle nor the castle because I didn't want to spend too much time on it.
I hope anon will appreciate.

oh i'm guesssing it's the coloring compared to the other ones.

Yah I guess i agree with him

>>2571921
Left cheek has a bulge near her ear which doesn't make sense with the tape still on.
Line in the mouth is supposed to be her bottom teeth? Personally I think it makes her expression dumb (try to make it yourself) but I see it a lot in animu so not a big deal.
Left arm has folds in it that I can't tell if it's fabric or skin. Either way they don't look right and you should consider the pull of the tape.

>>2571945
The mouth's angle and position look a little off, neck looks odd to me as well. Otherwise I like it.

>>2571978
> that mouth placement "fix"

Dude, what the fuck are you doing.

>>2571947
sometimes its okay to miss the joke

>>2571984
Throwing in two cents.

>>2571965
First, thanks for catching that bulge near the ear, i legit missed that.

Second, bottom line is her tongue

Third i'll add more cues to make it look more clothlike tho she canon wears tight longsleeve.

Did a quick clean of an ice-cream man boy I drew about a month back to test different line brush.

How's my inking? I don't do it very much and I've never had an actual guide on it. Is there any tips for crosshatching on digital, It's really hard to make it look good I find

>>2572065
I can't speak on crosshatching but the hair looks like a mess. It looks like markers that you accidently threw all over the place.

Try not drawing each individual stand, or if you really want that same look don't spew lines at random and try to put in more detail and uniformity. I wouldn't go glares with a absence of lines, it makes it look like a bald spot instead of specularity, make it a lighter shade of gray instead. Face looks decent, the broken line on his neck is killing me though dude

>>2572104
follow up, try making the outer strands thinner as they go out of the scalp, some of them are like that and others are still thick. It looks like it was quickly done.

>>2572104
>>2572110
Alright thanks, I'm done for today but ill fix it up and post tomorrow

>>2571122
one tip with fists: don't make the fingers parallel.
1. they're not parallel in the first place
2. even when they are "parallel", when you consider perspective they won't be seen as such

this is pretty much a general rule. avoid parallel alignments on organic stuff or stuff in perspective.
in fact when considering perspective, just never draw any parallel lines ever.

specifically for the fists, make the "fan out" instead of parallel, you'll see that it is a thousand times easier to understand.
if someone has that 0033 image for hands and fists, post it since it's relevant.

use texture brushes to sugest texture, don't use the same image-texture brush for a whole thing
this is shit >>2572482

>>2572517
I agree entirely, much happier with the sketch than the "render".

I should've mentioned the entire point of those sketches were the hair. Wanted to achieve the natural-style I see on black girls but on a wood-elf. Know any good places to browse texture brushes or am I better off making my own?

>>2572558
an example of the natural style, I want to her to have a slim figure with big hair making her look like a tree a little bit.

The problem with the adjustments you've proposed is that it takes away focus from the shadow and the girl's face. Raising the contrast of everything around her brings up the importance of those objects, instead of blowing everything out with light, except for her face and the darkness of the shadow, to draw the viewer's eye.

Unfinished sketch.

How am I doing, /ic/? Not too animu?

is limiting materials a way to get better at coloring?
or is it a matter of practice/using your desired material alot?

Fixed

Guys, can someone redline me the dress on this>>2570241
I've been told that it looks wonky, and i wasn't very convinced by the result to begin with

>>2569981

really like it. the palette reminds me of pacific rim

Would anyone mind pointing out what I'm doing wrong?

Her having a muscular build was on purpose.

>>2572640
Eyes are the least of your concerns. that characters' nose and mouth just look plain ugly.

He's not wrong.

The arms themselves doesn't looks too bad, which makes me think you copied them from somewhere else, because the rest doesn't follows at all in quality. The blue dress looks bad, the head structure is wonky, and that whole yellow ligntning would need more work. What's with the shading of the dress being white instead of yellow?

>>2570004
do you have a blog i can follow?

>>2572947
I didn't copy anything from anywhere, I just have more practice with nude models than anything else, and arms are easier to stylize for me I guess. I don't know what went wrong with the torso in all honestly. The sketch looked fine, but when I added color to the dress, it just fell apart. I used the bright blue on the dress because that's how it looked in the reference image and I didn't think about it.

I just can't seem to make faces look good in any sort of style either.

>>2571263
>Something to note is that anime tends to be very zoomed out compared to the original

No it isn't. Most anime gets drawn at around A4 size or sometimes even smaller. All you need to do is look at making of videos of anime productions.

The reason magazine scans are so big is because scanners scan at really high resolutions.

You can get good fidelity out of an A4 scan because it's not like blowing up a small resolution image to a higher resolution on a computer and it ending up blurry.

You're scanning something composed of real life atoms with a lens to translate it into image data a computer can view essentially.

You can try this yourself even. Scan an A4 or even A5 page of something and you'll see just how big the image will be.

I'm surprised by the amount of detail this time.

i was the guy who drew the Kongou with a bunny outfit. Now im drawing this (Is a present for a friend) i need to critics to improve please, thank you very much

>>2573254
If I'm interpreting it right, her left arm's holding the camera up for a selfie, right? If that's the case, you REALLY need to work on the foreshortening.

was posting this last week... couldnt finish it cuz of travels, but im trying to get it finished now.
i think its gettin pretty close to done.

what do you guys think?

>>2573261
Yes you are interpreting right and thank you , i'm going to work on that!

>>2573254
In case you didn't do it yet, do the selfie pose by yourself, it should help.

>>2573271
Yes! this is a good idea, thank you very much sr

Just finished a commission of somebody's Pathfinder character, a Jimi Hendrix-inspired Ifrit. I don't know much about D&D but I've been getting commissioned to design people's D&D characters lately and it's been really fun.

>How's my inking
bad. complete "i tried this for the first time"-tier
no emphasis on the right lines, no clear shapes and lines. also you rely too much on hatching and your hatching isn' very good at all.
try to create clear shapes when hatching. when i look at the shapes of your hatching, the edges they create are always random, fuzzy and soft instead of defined and deliberate.

>>2573271
Do you think this is better?

>>2573357
oh shit sorry

>>2573315
Not him, but do you recommend drawing a shape on a different layer and then hatching inside of the lines on the first layer? I'm just not sure how one would get the perfect shape at first otherwise.

>>2570817
>>2570838
Thank you m8s

>>2573359
Fucking kawaii as fuck

FUCK. Something's bugging the hell out of me and I need someone else's eyes, I hope this is the right thread to post this in.

So, pic related is just something that came up sketching, nothing particularly special, but after a lot of erasing and redrawing there's still something at its core that's annoying me. And I think my eyes are not at a level where I can say it's wrong AND justify why/fix it. It's just a sketch, I could jump to something else, I'll delet this anyways, but this is literally telling me there's a weakness right under my nose. Maybe it's something with the proportions? the neck? face? something inconsistent? whatever it is, I know it's definitely the next thing I need to improve on. Which is why this sketch is slightly more important than usual.

Please /ic/ just tell me everything wrong with this picture.

>>2573524
Whenever you sense something is off (and even when you feel everything's fine) take a couple hours away from the drawing, maybe even a day, and then look at it again. Another tip is flip it to see if anything looks weird.

At the moment her head is too big for her shoulders. It looks like she has a very stubby neck. She needs wider shoulders. Try fixing the shoulders and then see if her head & neck look okay.

>>2573522
Don't lie to him.

>>2569062

I think I get what you're asking for, and it's the xerography look of decayed lines. Most digital lines are too smooth and even, but you can filter them if you want a crappy, unpredictable result, or you can design a brush that has that quality to it in your application of choice.

Would this read okay if it was around 2-3 inches? I tried to keep lineweight in mind, but it probably shows I have not clue what I'm doing. I'm not sure if the colors work either, especially for the boy. Also, the boy's head looks off and I can't put my finger on why so if someone could add their input, I would be grateful.

>>2573527
Thanks anon! I always do the flip, but what I really needed this time was a break. I think it was very helpful, and the shoulder-to-head proportions certainly were an issue among other lesser ones. I hope it's better now. Anything else you guys see here?

>>2573532
Well sr, please give your opinion, i'll be glad to read and improve

>>2573580
One thing that is still sticking out is her weird baby hand that was told to your earlier. You attempted to fix the other arm but completely glossed over that- given that your angle is from the front, that hand should be more normal looking.

The arm holding the camera still seems a little...off too, its hard to put my finger on it but check out the picture, it might help clear up what I'm attempting to say despite it being a slight different angle.

>>2573602
Got it, thank you

>>2569981
damn man
the way you render buildings is fantastic, im always impressed.

her right hand is too small, the perspective isnt working on that arm at all, it just looks proportionally too big instead of the elbow coming at you. and her left wrist looks chunky in a bad way, doesnt flow into the hand right.
same issue with the left legs perspective, maybe slim her left leg down at the knee?

>>2572426
I had ravioli for lunch

>>2573009
how do u just fuckin do that nose

>>2569178
youve edited his shit with western influences though, keep in mind. The gradient is very popular in eastern art, and your proportions dont take chibi-fication in mind.

ie; the head could be bigger, hands a bit smaller, and body a bit (A BIT) wider.

lf advice

>>2573810
That's very debatable. The original drawing is at the worst "generic non pro drawing" level, it's not cute at all, which is kind of the first point of moe. Ton of different possible faces exists based on the appealing features of anime.moe, and that right one is for a much better example because it's what it aims to be, cute and good looking.

That remade drawing still have lots of stuff you can find in eastern art, the nose especially. The head size looks good, It could be bigger but it's good like that, which is what matters.
The body looks wide enough to me.

He just redrew it in his style in the first place.

>>2573813
put some light dappled light on their bodies to highlight key areas and lead the eye through the painting

nice job overall though

>>2573815
>it's what it aims to be, cute and good looking.
that's the exact opposite of cute, the proportions of the face are fucked (eyes go way too high) which make the head look smaller and ugly, the nose and mouth are ugly as fuck and the opposite of moe (just look at the picture you posted).
It's still a better drawing, but it completely fails in the moe department which is the point

>>2573826
to add to that i still think the advice he gave was proper

>>2573813
Not sure how much you've been crit'd on this, so if there's anything I've noted that you're already on the way to fixing or prefer not to, sorry! Pic related. Pink notes are more subjective, since I think the stylization on the faces is a little uncanny, but it is 'style'.

Didn't have space or stamina to write it in the pic, but I think you need to revisit the drapery in the Bougureau. Looser fabric folds much more loosely and in bigger shapes than stiffer fabric.

Love the palette, especially in the black hair and the foliage to the right. It's really turning out great.

>>2569981
>that hint at interiors in the windows of the foremost building
Fantastic. Do you mind sharing how you did that?

>>2573813
don't make the forehead bulge out that much. dunno about you, but their heads look like balloons to me, especially with the blonde one.

breasts are too high. with the hand on the shoulder you should see more than just 2 fingers. it almost looks like an alien hand.

>>2569981
the windows on that building, do i see bits of a photo edited in to achieve that?

>>2573359
sorry for what?

Another pleb trying to draw here. I'm doing some more studies and bookmarking links I could get to later. I downloaded some books and on hand, I'm going with Keys To Drawing, Vilppu's Drawing Manual, Perspective Made Easy, and Figure Drawing: Design and Invention. Does this seem like a suitable collection to get started with, or do you recommend anything else. Right now I'm primarily drawing with my phone for convenience and ease.

>>2573944
>drawing with my phone for convenience and ease
yeah, I mean pencils are like so 20th century, man. Like stone age.

It's a good list, but as you may guess this is /beg/ question.
You can add Robertson's books, they're good.

>>2573947
Okay, thanks. I'll add them and go to /beg/.

>>2573949

1st time doing a quick sketch digitally. Probably would refine it and learn how to colour lineart digitally later.

Parsero, no segundo desenho a linha dos titties dela está reta, e a não ser que o braço dela esteja na frente (o que não parece ser o caso) a linha é um pouco mais curvada na parte de cima. O comprimento do cabelo está inconsistente. Tirando isso está ótimo, bom trabalho weeaboo

>>2574120
Valeu amigo! Não tinha percebido esses erros

Does anyone else post-it in here?

>>2574245
Not sure if the anatomy is incorrect/symbolish or if it's just a case of poor rendering (neck suggests the first).

Try to play a bit with HSV adjustments, the colors are a bit drab, even though the color palette is nice. Afterwards, make the skin look more alive.

It should be a nice illustration, keep at it.

>>2574210
Note block and glue.

>>2573315
How about this? When I meant inking I didn't mean in the western comic sense, more of a vagabond style.

>>2574273
don't use so brushes with that much opacity if you're actually "inking".
and yeah it's still fuzzy everywhere.
try to follow a form with your hatching. most of the time you shouldn't think of them as just blobs of value.

>>2573468
i guess you could but really you should just get used to it. if you practice it more often it will become a non-issue anyway

>>2574210
wew that's a pretty cool idea

>>2574279
>i guess you could....

Thanks. I don't do crosshatching very much, but I've always liked the look of it. Is there anything that you would recommend doing as practice?

>>2574290
maybe parallel lines, or try filling up shapes with various hatching patterns.
other than that, how it turns out is entirely dependant on your drawing abilities. again, try to follow the form, and don't hatch in different directions for no reason.

painting will probably help too.

Any comments on the colors, or the cloud pattern that would improve this piece?

I'm not sure the colors are working on this, any thoughts?

>>2574317
I dunno, man - I think the composition is quite bad. It could be cool if it was just a bear flying an airplane, but here it should have more focus on the fighting scene in here

>>2574312
Thanks again. I'll try things out.

>>2574261
I use double sided tape myself.
