Lol thanks for fucking up my squidman

Speaking of squid porn I'm looking for advice to help me make this skin-tight anti-gravity geek-boy shota the best request art anyone's ever gotten.

Any pointers, comments, or noticed flaws?

Just started a short comic. I don't know what I'm doing but I'm gonna do it any way. Crit would be nice. Thank you.

>>2585324
In this pannel lighting can be very useful for drawing attention to the tip of the gun, where attention will go anyway. I recommend using is. Maybe take the sunlight back a little so only diffused glow is making it on to the character, and have the barrel alone highlighted by the rays?

Kinda basic stuff as of yet, but I kinda like the feel of it.

>Trying to draw decent action gestures
>Studying artists I like and how they do things
>Copy and trace over their stuff, trying my best to analyze it as I go along
>Try drawing anything on my own
>It's all awful
I just want to die

>>2585324
Very static composition for such a dramatic weapon.

>>2585324
Looking nice, I'd follow the tips the other anons gave you since I have the same issues with it. Better compotition, which in part meas use the lighting only when and where needed.

Also, I'm no /k/ommando, but wouldn't you want to open the eye that's looking through the scope? or is he looking with his left eye? it's not clear enough.

>>2585324
I hope all of the panels in this comic aren't copies of images. Will really limit what you'll be able to do.

Or, if your comic is nothing but copies of pictures of Nathan Fillion, that would be interesting in its own right.

>>2585236

I did start drawing tonight but my cuck boyfriend says sleep is more important.

>>2585411
>cuck
There's that word again!

>>2585411
>cuck boyfriend
You're cheating on your boyfriend? Not many people would so openly admit such a horribly shitty thing to do to another person.

>>2585426
it's better than retard desu

just chill back and let slang change.

>>2585426
WELL HE IS
IT'S ONLY 01:02

>>2585429
kek

>>2585398
we knew youd comeback, ya big autocuck, even after being doxxed

>>2585430
*desu

does desu automatically change to desu? I'm not even on mobile.

>>2585434
yes desu senpai

>>2585434

desu, desu.

>>2585432
>we
whu?
>ya big autocuck
whut
>even after being doxxed
Are you out of your mind?

>>2585432
I would also like some clarification on the word "autocuck" if you don't mind.

Also even if it's not your cup of tea I'd advice against discouraging other art styles personally.

>>2585429
Maybe he enjoys it, didn't she say he's a cuck? anyways this is a draw thread so uhhh the artwork is shite. A for effort.

>>2585443
>replying this quickly
spamming F5 for those fresh, hot (You)s amirite

>>2585445
altruism, like cucking yourself subconsciously, waking up with dick in your mouth etc

>>2585453
Not him but That is not the definition of altruism, not even close.

i drew a sheep today

>>2585364
just keep doing it!! i believe in you

>>2585453
>amirite
nope.

Been working on this post-apocalyptic samurai, not quite sure how I feel about this pose though.

>>2585455
really?! i always thought altruism meant getting pegged arms tied face down on the pillow. Lol :^]]

>>2585340
Thanks I will try to do that .and fix this >>2585379
>>2585369 fucking kek I hade no idea it looked so much like he had that eye closed.

>>2585382 I know, I feel shity using google images like that but it's not like I
Straight up copied the lighting and likeness of the photo. I don't know a lot about weapons but if I draw more of people holding gun I won't need the refs. But your totally right, thank you for calling me out on it, the pose looks just like (to much like) the ref.

I've drawn for six hours today and my hand is getting sore, but my art still sucks and my studies aren't helping eeeeeeeeee.

I want to be as good as Yoshinari-senpai.

>>2585479
draw with your arm, not your wrist, relax anon, don't be tense. your hand is sore cause you are tense.

>or you're weak, take a two day break and let them hand muscle gains fully develop

>>2585364
You should spend a good while practicing drawing the full human figure and have everything proportionally accurate. Fill your sketchbook with little drawings of people it's good practice.

I decided to paint an old sketch. Please excuse my godawful perspective.

How do I make the tiger less retarded and should he be in local color? The robed figure will be alizarin crimson.

>>2585476
Sorry if I was being cheeky, I just happened to know the image, I wasn't trying to be antagonistic.
Using reference is good, in the future try to find multiple references from a few angles that are what you're trying to achieve, and even use yourself in a reflection to further figuring out the pose you're going for.

>>2585591
paint tiger mostly with gray, some green/blue and just touches of brown/red. the green is overpowering but if that's not digital then it's oo far gone and ya might as well just finish it.

>>2585652
>if that's not digital then it's oo far gone and ya might as well just finish it.

Its traditional, but I can still change it... gouache doesn't mind being painted over. Thanks for the color recommendations, I never would've thought of gray.

2 hours. Charcoal. Was pretty proud of his face in this one.

2 hours as well. Wasn't proud of this one. The eyes were a losing struggle. Black people are hard.

>>2585361
I really like her hips. And the hatching under her arm. I think the reflection of the trees could be more wavy though.

>>2585671

the face is good, but I'm really liking his sleeve. very nice.

>>2585671
More finished version

>>2585689
Is that tradish? Nice inking and subdued coloring. What does the glass dome gadget do?

Messing around with logo design.

>>2585750

Very pretty. What kind of charcoal did you use?

>>2585759
its all digital.
the glass dome detects dangerous gases in the air and turns glowing blue when there is.

>>2585689
dude great colors. the green and red is a good earthy combo.

I never finish anythi

Does this look right?

Relative newfag (but longtime lurker) here. I went through the depths of hell, anatomy books and google images for a few hours to try and fix a size (or length at least) and foreshortening issue I had going on with my current animu painting. I'll have to tone the fitness down later since I got carried away with the muscles after drawing the same arm multiple times, arm muscles are fun, but I'm extremely concerned about the two issues I mentioned: does this dude still have T-Rex arms? are the perspective and the anatomy working together in the way they should? do I make the call and render over it to implement it into the rest of the piece?

>>2585905
>2312x3408
I am sorry, someone will hate me for that. Here, have a relatively friendlier version. Crit please.

>>2585908
>making myself look like an idiot: the post

WIP
Is the anatomy looking good or should I tone it down and try be more realistic?

>>2585941
Not that it should be more realistic, but consistent. That left shoulder is way longer than the other

>>2585941
The horns kinda sprout out of nowhere, have them attached to the skull and have hair wrapping around/pushed away from them

Mouth feels like it sits very low making the part between the nose & mouth feel streched

Study from this week

>>2585905

Arm too short and head too big! Remember Loomis proportions

>>2585685
Can't quite get it to look right, water is hella hard

>>2585975

You need:

>Perspective
>Composition
>Value separation in masses of tone
>Gesture/structure, fix that anatomy
>Don't add fancy textures until it's finished
>I like the hair tho

With W7 Paint

>>2585975
tumblr?

>>2585941
progress

>>2586041
neat
>>2585842
nice jo

A few of my gestures from this morning. Not really satisfied with any of these. I also need to work on making them smaller. I fill up whole canvases really quickly.

>>2585591
You have some interesting shapes going on. The tiger's expression is too human like and timid, that's why he looks stupid. For a next image I encourage you to plan the architecture out beforehand, then you won't have the problem with tilted walls.

>>2585398

>>2585294
go to the beginner thread

>>2585479
trust me ur studies ARE helping!!! dont be discouraged, it's not going to show immediately but every /single/ second you spend drawing, especially if it's studies/purposeful work, is helping!!!

>>2585591
yeah, you do need to work on your environments, but i think your figure + the tiger look great/10

>>2585324
Wrong eye is open, idiot

tfw you're studying and copying Bridgman page-by-page and you're slowly understanding what the fuck is going on with his haphazard construction, but some things are made unclear as fuck

Has the quality of draw threads gone up recently? Are people improving? I haven't peeked in one of these in a while. Looks like it to me.

>>2586193
>>2586252
thanks for the input both. I think painting this made me realize its really important to use 2pt perspective and be conscious of that all the way through rendering.

>>2585973
Really? it's still short? fucking fuck, I'll need a redline /ic/. Also it's anime, the character's head is that big and I'm sticking to the design. Of course, the design has arms of a normal length, so that's the thig to fix.

I'm trying to start a comic, so I'm practicing action sequences and scenes, but my drawings lack that "punch", pun intended.

I dunno what to do huehue

How2Blend????

>>2586389
rub your face gently against the computer screen

>>2586390
Perfect, thank you!

>>2585825
Thanks! Generals 4b compressed charcoal stick. I'mean poor so I have to use what I have, but I've really wanted to experiment with willow lately.

>>2586389
Okay I'm done with this, polishing a turd at this point

>>2585827
Nice.

That was a long evening

>>2586371
his folded leg is longer than his stretched leg

>>2586455
aye, dubs checked.
Thanks for pointing it out

>>2586041
I'm not find of the weired anatomy. i know is stylized, but I don't get how a body like that is even supposed to work
but I really love the texturing of the horns

I hate my gestures. Figure drawing is 2hard. Even though I know all this anatomy and construction I still can't draw anything that isn't a long figure study.

>>2586463
How come you don't seem to finish them? Are you stopping before they're done or are you using a timed website or something and you're too slow? Either way change your method to make sure you complete them, either by working quicker or giving yourself more time.

As a quick tip, never draw one arm or one leg. Always draw them in pairs so that you can draw the relationship between them. This ought to help you finish them too.

I recommend Force: Dynamic Life Drawing, it should help you loosen up and understand things like rhythm and force.

Can someone redline this for me? I need to practice drawing the lower body, it always looks wrong to me

>>2586513
I use some of the various websites for time gestures, usually sixty, though I've tried thirty seconds before. I'll draw drawing everything in pairs, I'm sure it'll help. I used to own Force; it's a good book. I should have studied from it more. The last few days I've been going through Bridgman and studying/copying everything on every page, so a lot of his construction has rubbed off on me.

>>2578427
updating from last thread

Not sure about the rain density

anatomy is shit. gotta work on it.

First post, still working on it.

gonna render this a bit more, does it look ok?
also there's some really good stuff in this thread. last time i visited was ~4 months ago, feels like there's a definite increase in overall quality

pls
pls
pls respond!

>>2586041

>>2586723
ach

>>2586463
Good lines, now finish them fucker

Any glaring flaws before I move forward with this?

Black guy was fun to draw. I thought he'd be harder.

Gollem as I orange lantern drawn in the first with all spectrum rings or all the ring from Lord of rings. Tried asking on A /CO/ draw Thread but if it's not A waifu/pedo request i't gets ignored.

>>2586961
oh anonymoose
it doesn't work like that here.
people post their art and other people crush them with critiques

half these niggers would want dosh to draw that too

>>2586988
Damn fine here is A hair style I trying

>>2587005
that contrast. take a better photo dude.

>>2586935
Nice charcoal anon! Is that black guy on canvas? Where do you study?

>>2586050
I enjoy this! Nice cold/warmth balance.

>>2587006
The second head is clear as I could get.

>>2587010
That's actually graphite on a regular sketchbook haha and thanks. And I'm currently self taught

I realized the filter sucked on the previous one so I added a little flare, enjoy!

>>2586935
nice bro, always hated charcoal.
>>2586889
been seeing alot of artists doing the rain on the window thing lately lol.
>>2586463
nice gestures man. try to finish them up more.
>>2586898
would like to see some more completed stuff anon. nice though

>>2587018
I'm gonna be blunt, It's shit hair and you don't know how to draw very well. You'll be able to do nice hair if you lean fundies. But if you don't want to do that, then google interesting hair styles and choose any of them over what you have here.

>> beginner thread

>>2586665
The rain density seems ok, could use a bit more though. Those lights are wayy too short and closely spaced to have any useful real world purpose. I'd suggest getting rid of the one to the right. Make the left one taller, but since you still want it to be in frame, move it and the guy a little bit toward the middle of the picture so you can make the lamp taller and its beam of light wider. Also i'd widen the sidewalk as well. I get that this is on a sort of walk way bridge thing, but side walks are never that thin. It's dangerous.

Some feedback on this ?

>>2587078
It's great. Nice textures and color palette. Maybe a little over saturated for my taste. But that's purely opinion.

Trying to design some police characters

>>2587281
I need to start doing this shit when I draw. I can never make myself to remember this type of observation and my drawings are ever so slightly inaccurate because of it.

>>2587313
Its extremely helpful but make sure you understand how to execute it. Read up about the charles bargue course

>>2587167
so much designing going on in this image wow

I wanted to try draw some buildings. Any suggestions?

>>2587363
Ignoring that top-left's bottom corner I would try doing more angles (from an above or birds eye view is a good start). You seem to have a good grasp on the basics of perspective, try adding details to the buildings (imho I think this is the funnest part) like window sills, locks and volume to your roofs. Try tackling shadows as well.

>>2587371
Thanks, I'll work on that. I need to go out from my comfort zone

>>2587102
why his right arm bigger than left?

Ballpoint and some useless marker, that has torn 10mm thick tip. But still had fun.

Here

not bothered to keep going

>>2585975
The eyes are really bad, I'm guessing the biggest reason for that is the fact you literally just copied and flipped the eye, the highlights are coming from two different points.

>>2587056
Thanks for some notes. I was unsure about the scale of the bridge/lamp overall. I'll definitely adjust.

I want to paint like Yoshinari-senpai but I haven't the first clue about coloring.

WIP

>>2587588
Either does he.

>>2587603
holy shit i love it

>>2587603
Love it!

>>2587662
im not that anon, I don't know how to paint.
whats wrong with it, does the artist not understand color theory? The values look good to me.

>>2587603
Very cliche and cringey, but I like it

Posting 2 wips

I really need to learn to keep my colors in reign

>>2587705

Repost from last thread. Any ideas what to do with background and below the head? I indicated the neck and thought to leave it in shadow. But I am open to suggestions Thought about a dirty green for the background. Any ideas?

>>2587712
Oops wrong one.

>>2587714
why not have him sit leaned back in some sort of chair?

>>2587706
all i can see is the hand shape needed for the dog shadow puppet. kek

>>2587719
In a good or bad way?

>>2587731
the colors are nice, i just thought that was kinda funny.

also im not sure what the thing is supposed to possibly be

>>2585236

>>2587715
Ya, not bad. Thanks.

>>2585236
looks like they are fucking from the thumbs

>>2586898
opnions on these?

I'm really struggling with the face. I think it has some type of potential but it sort of makes me want to kms

>>2587813
There's nothing there but a single eye. Block in the other one, a nose, a mouth, then see what you can tweak and fix. You don't have to get it right the first time. The beauty of digital painting is that you have unlimited tools. You can try and retry until you've found exactly what you're looking for.

>>2587928
This is good. I don't mind filters and shit. No rules, only tules.
>>2587736
Reminds me of MvC2. I really like the exaggerated proportions.
>>2587712
I think you could define the neck a bit more. Or like this guy >>2587715 you could give him some clothes or something covering the neck.
I like the emotion in his face. Great work.
>>2587705
>>2587706
I like the color on these, but like the other guy said, the second picture looks like a shadow puppet dog. I'm not really sure what it's supposed to be otherwise. I do like the lighting and the color in the leaves.
>>2587603
I like it. The mouth seems a bit tiny, but I like the color in the face. Nice subtle blues and yellows.
>>2587530
You should keep going, this is good so far.
>>2587520
This is cool.
>>2587477
Really like this. Great use of light and shadow. I want to see a sketchbook filled with little images like this.
>>2587363
Look at references. Play around with heavy shadows. You can do all kinds of fun stuff with buildings. I like the second building a lot. Interesting use of shapes. When you're doing stuff like the 3rd building. Make sure to focus on details like window sills, gutters, paneling, etc., the things that stick out and break up the shape a bit, otherwise you just have a basic rectangle with a pointy triangle roof.
>>2587167
I like these. The hat on the two in the middle give a more interesting shape than a plain, round helmet.
>>2587102
Always love your stuff.
>>2587078
I love the use of colors. I would go a little heavier on the contrast on the tree and the dirt under it. It all looks a little muddy green and gray right now. Are you going to render it anymore?

>>2587943
thx anon

I'm working on that right now and I really appreciate the feedback

>>2587987
you seem like a happy person keep doing you.

>>2587603
are you making money off your art yet latin girl?

>>2587968

Why the long face?

>>2585236
Here's a drawing of a girl I know who has legit porn star-tier looks. I saw this pic on her Facebook and it had some nice shadows.

r8.

>>2588107

whats with them smudgy values anon. You seem to have an ok grasp of basic light but damn ngia

step 1. draw a hoe
step 2. nig block dose values (aint loyal)
step 3. refine dem edges nigga like it aint rokt scientce lmfao.

good job tho keep ir up ;)p (y)

>>2588004
thnx bby

>>2588123
The pic is blurry and the lighting is shit. I'll try and take anohter one tomorrow.

>>2588127

stay loyal niga (8-:)D)

>>2587334
lol my thoughts exactly

here's something i did back in May. ballpoint pen.

pls critique.

http://i.imgur.com/cjd6xz3.jpg

Gesture drawing supercut from last month. I am afraid of drawing nipples.

>>2587334
>>2588168
no bully please :^(

>>2588173
amazing technique. subtle intermingling of pointilism and light hatching. It looks like ink stains from a distance. How long did it take? how large?

My only critique would be to widen your range of values. Bring your darkest points much darker and use a larger range of midtones.

>>2588193
having a panic attack rn because I can't find the piece anywhere in my house.

I'd say it was about 24x12 inches.

It took a little less than two months. kinda on/off working on it.

and thank you! Yeah I struggle to get certain parts more darker and others more lighter.

>>2588188
why? just fucking draw them dude. these are good but the lack of nipples is off setting.

>>2588211
because nipplle placement can seriously fuck up a drawing. they have be symmetrical and tracking their placemen and size is hard for me. I have the same issue with eyes/pupils. I can draw he structure of the face relatively well, but end p leaving the eyes in the brow's shadow because matching eyes is hard.

>>2588215
really? they're just circles on blobs of fat, it's not like they have to make eye contact lmao. don't run away from drawing the things you're not confident with (i'm looking at those hands and empty faces). i really like your shadows though.

>>2588173
i love this one

>>2587078
is like some Pokahontas stuff. like what u did with the leaves

>>2586425
have you tried using a softer brush with low opacity? that helps me sometimes

First version of drawing I am working on. Any advice? I have started a newer version but I wanted critiques on this one.

>>2588188
Really not liking that grainy background. It takes focus away from the actual figure. Can you stop doing that? Just smooth the fucking thing thanks

>>2587530
love the lineweight, the eyes need more attention

The doggo of the doggo is indeed the dog of the o

What. Actually that way is cool too OP, keep it up

>Tired of doing figure studies for the day
>Want to draw something original
>Don't know enough to draw interesting figure poses in a three dimensional space
>Don't know enough to illustrate cities or buildings
>Just keep grinding studies
Hopefully one day I'll be good enough to draw whatever I want.

Tried doing a master copy/portrait of Washington for 4th of July. Fucked up spectacularly, but hey, gotta keep drawing to get better right?

>>2588810
dude. the whole point of a study is to establish one piece of a larger painting. you dont study until you can magically draw everything perfect without a reference. you study because you can't. Very few have such natural talent.

think of an idea and then piece together some references. do some studies to work out the kinks and create consistency. voila art!

>>2588862
Finding good references is the hard part. I also have issues with creating extreme foreshortening.

Besides there's this thing called 4chan X. User script extention that gives a lot of neat features like post refreshes without refreshing your actual page, and notifications of those posts.

Last time I posted a piece I was told I should've asked for feedback before I started rendering.
I plan to spend a long time rendering this thumbnail as well I think, so do you think this composition is good enough?

Hey! I'd like to have some critique and help with this! It's one of my first digital drawings so I don't know how to use it well yet (right now stuck with the colouring part) Feel free to join! Drawing D.Va from overwatch~ (sorry for image quality)

Pay more attention to your strokes for the background. It makes a much bigger difference than you'd think.

>>2588932
This one is the only successful one because it leads the eye from the guy punching to the guy getting hit.
>>2588930
There's a ton of movement in the original picture that you totally ruined; the lights are shining down from the right and left, forming a V, whereas here you just have noise.
>>2588933
This one the strokes should be going downward because 1) it matches the reference, and 2) it really sells the idea of him falling.

how's this going so far?

>>2588886
Is this not the right place to get feedback on comps / thumbnails maybe? Beg doesn't seem quite right either tho

>>2589025
someone already gave you feedback and a paintover in /beg/

>>2588173
really good stuff

posting WIPs

an outline what i'm about to draw,
critique please

>>2589009

why did you take a picture instead of a screenshot...

>>2589273
I recognize this style, arent you the drawfag that used to hang in the /a/ monstergirl threads?

>>2589023
I like it except for the cat thing. It doesn't fit in.

>>2589419
the space between her right (our left) boob and her shoulder seems to be too large, no?

>>2589419
Head is not that flat on top. I'm gonna assume you plan to put hair over it, but still....

anyone else like sketch books?

here's a page from a book i completed couple months ago.

*sigh* help!

I've been staring at her face for so long I've become blind. Be my eyes /ic/, help me see her flaws

>>2589473
i think you started rendering way too soon lots of anatomy mistakes

>>2587167

I really like the one on the left. That big yellow strip is iconic. Give him one of the more police-y hats and you've got an interesting cyber punk popo on your hands.

>>2589474
Nothing i can't fix later on. It's easy to merge layers then tweak the sizes of things etc. but when everything is on multiple layers it's a pain.

>>2589473
I really like how it's shaping up. It gives a "MtG card in the making" sort of feeling, especially composition wise. Keep up the good work.

As the other anon said, you started laying in textures and some rendering way too soon. Right now the values feel a bit all over the place. The thumb silhouette does not read well. On one hand it feels like an overcast, but on the other it wants to imply a bit stronger directional light from top right. The foreshortening of the wing coming towards the viewer feels detached from her as well.

Face wise, I feel like the biggest "mistake" is that it looks both bereft of emotion and really generic. Maybe use a reference just for the sake of giving her a "look." Other than that, the patch of shadow on her chin feels detached from the rest of the shadow mass. The kettle hat also kinda looks silly, adds to the generic look and raises the question of how it's standing on her head mid flight without any binding to begin with. The hands and forearms are bitching, but also further confuse the viewer on what is going on. Is she holding an invisible sword? Is she bound by invisible ropes? The look on her face does not help the viewer figure it out.

Either way, looking forward to see how that pic turns out.

beautiful thoughts on this?

aint even gonna open it m8.

WIP study on a fried egg, trying to get some basic digital workflow that I'm comfortable with while learning how to get colour right.

>>2589492
Its horrible, but keep working

>>2589514
forgot to resize

>>2589473
head too big? or feels like so, I don't even know

>>2589032
Wow, didn't see that thanks.

>>2589525
what's the brown stuff

>>2589589
poop

>>2589473

is this of any help

>>2589496
The tree trunk makes the piper look like a giant, but since there are some rats for size reference that makes it even weirder. Maybe you should remove the branch and make the tree curve towards the piper, to keep the composition? Also, if he's attracting the rats with his flute you should consider simplifying the shapes and painting like a swarm of them.

>>2589419
Make the arms a little longer

>>2589473
Wtf Algen is that you

Hi.

>>2589425
Yep.

>>2589799
dont use black shadows

>>2589832
Good job they're not black then.

>>2589799
that blue dildo thing should be casting a shadow on the other thing

>>2589854
not if it is far enough from the ball

>>2589868
judging by the cast shadow on the floor its definitely possible, it would also make the picture more interesting imo

idea for a angel/seraphim concept

>>2589884
I get Amano vibes from this, cool stuff.

first time trying digital painting / blending, be gentle

>>2588392
i like the concept and the lineart but the color style doesn't work as well. I think more clear, hard colors could make the image pop more. The concept seems raw and detailed so the color should be less muddy.

that's just my opinion

>>2589021
i think your style is kinda cool it pops well
you should look up an artist named kinucakes, this reminds me of her art

>>2589884
His shoes.

Any thoughts?

>>2589884
woah hey this is good.

>>2588828
Samefag but I did a Mastercopy of this Ilya Repin guy's work. Russian's are damn good painters. Being half Russian, I feel obliged to learn from their ways.

Is it stiff?

>>2589694
I wish I was him. His girlfriend is hot as hell.

hello from the LAS thread

>>2590131
STOP

>>2586408
I love you

>>2586961
That's as much as I'm doing. sorry it's shit.

>>2589473

Not really a critique, just decided to fuck around with your painting.

>>2589473
Right eye (her left) is a tiny tad too high. Head too big.

>>2590137
post pic of said girlfriend i wanna see

>>2590137
oh wait no ur games workshop art test guy. sup.

>>2590284
I really really like what you did with the background. I'll try to do something like that.

>>2590322
I hate facebook creeping, but this is the best I could do. Hannes if you're somehow reading this I"m sorry.

>>2590353

>>2590356
Jesus, didn't realize these were so big

>>2590353

Isn't that Jana Schirmer? If so not his gf

>>2590360
No that's not Jana.

Gestures make me want to kill myself, desu senpai.

>>2590364

She's basically a clone then. Lol, he never really get over her did he?

>>2590353
she's okay. but algen on the other hand looks cracked out wasted.

>>2590377
Noo trust me, they look nothing alike. Nata's bloody gorgeous. I saw her in person.

Creature design for the character design thread

bleeeeeh this looks way better I think

Drew this a while back and summinaint right. Its not finished but i seriously dont know where to go from here. Requesting advice/critique

This is an inked sketch, in the process of being cleaned up.

I'm unsure which tool or brush is best for adding additional lines, as the brush's anti-aliased look doesn't match the look of the rest of it, however the pencil leaves dull edges where i'd like sharp ones, such as the tips of the hair.

And I plan to modify the line weight to better fix proportion and alter some as well.

>>2585236
How do you guys get color like in OP? Wheres theres only color and no outline? Whats it called and how can I do it?

>>2590604
Painting...?

>>2590536
I don't like the helmet design, or rather the way it sits on her head. You could tilt it backwards so it forms something of a halo. You should at least give it a strap

>>2590548
Is your goal to become a police sketch artist?

>>2590613
I realized after drawing and painting it that it's not right. But I'll fix it later. I was going for a ww1 style british helm but did it from memory. Thanks for the ref though that's handy

stuff i made during 2 hours of streaming on twitch

>>2590635
No worries chum! Now, where's that blog of yours'?

>>2590638
bottom right is the best.

>>2590608
How do you paint?

>>2590697
well simple way to put it is instead of doing line art, you make the shapes with the paint. and you just render the details down instead of having solid colored line art.

this video has a good show of what i mean. in combination with locked layers/masks etc you can get nice results

>>2590697
also start here
http://www.ctrlpaint.com/library/

I've been going through Force and analyzing/copying the gesture drawings throughout. I have no issue drawing good gestures when I have an example, but when I'm left on my own it becomes exponentially harder. It's like there's something fundamentally wrong with my process even though I full understand what it is I'm supposed to be doing.

Here are some "gestures" done from images I have saved. Spent a minute or two on each. They look too stiff.

https://youtu.be/NMfp9GG-xHQ

do you guys know of any video tutorial on cgpeers about value/rendering that isn't ctrl paint but equally good? i've downloaded a few but they're all pretty shitty. I donwloaded one called "SVS - Digital Painting 2" and holly shit was it bad.

>>2590806
Add some apostrophes and change "ring" to "wring" ffs fampai.

Tried redoing that leaning figure. Tried doing some gestures for clothed figures but they all look like dongs. I can't imagine transitioning from these gestures to full figure drawings.

>>2590800
Looks like you're too focused on the anatomy of the figure bud.

Focus on JUST the gesture. The general feel, tone, direction of the figure and "feel it"

>>2589525
update

>>2589473
Upper body is too long

>>2590662
I has no blog. I am ... all blogs.

Random facebook face study, couldn't be fucked to smooth it out.

>>2590998
She's cute. Post the source image please.

>>2590998
Back my 2007.

First time doing proper digital coloring, real pain in the ass with mouse.

Requesting the colorization of Marion with the principal color being purple

Man doing shading or whatever is called is such a pain in the ass.
Shame these colors have become a shitty meme cause they look really good combined

>>2591083
>with mouse
You must have that ligameme.
It would take me a week to do that with a mouse.

>>2591192
Not him, but it the drawing is scanned, he's just coloring it, it looks amazing though

just finished this one.

>>2591210
some of the children are pretty ugly
especialy the symbol eyed girl

>>2591065

Are there any good video series to learn perspective and learn how to construct city scapes/landscaps? I know of the usual books on perspective, but I'm looking for something more.

>>2591210
It would do you real good to go back and re do those hands with a bit more reference. I'm sorry but the middle girl just looks straight up retarded and sickly. She has a greenish tinge to her skin and her eyes aren't focussing on anything. Her pinky is broken (just try lifting your pinky individual of other fingers) and her fingers start too far back, like she has no nuckles... man I could go on but to sum it up this picture looks ok at a glance but the more you look at the details you begin to see all the horrors. Also the values could be a bit better, just push back the center background with some atmospheric haze because it's competing with retard girl and normal girl.

I know it sucks to hear fundamental criticism after you've already finished a piece, especially considering you seem to have put a lot of time into this but MAN you have got to fix those kids.

Can someone give me feedback
Please tell me how to gid gud

also new thread where

>>2590978
I have seen you post your stuff somewhere, but I can't remember where...

Edit: I think I found it. You're M.MR, right?

>>2585236
Could I have some feedback?

>>2591831
2/2/

maybe i should post in beginners thread

>>2589884
You already posted here once before

You ignored everyone who requested for more pics or a blog

Fuck you arrogant faggot

just an update

>>2591573
M.... wat?

Trying to go for an final fantasy tactics-like style. I'm having some troube with the lion head on the front shield, tho, any critique is appreciated.

>>2591257
Your picture was cuter to be honest

How the fuck do you guys paint, like create a 3d model in your heads?

There are so many great tutorials on how to draw, anatomy etc but I am just shite at painting / colors. I understand value esp in black and white. Its just all my art looks like flat.

>>2592003
Michael MacRae

>>2592339
Your art looks flat because you're probably not using enough values and you're probably not using them intelligently. Show examples of your work so we can fundamentally destroy your confidence.

I'm done. I forgot to fix her shoulder among other things but IDGAF anymore

>>2592605
nice job anyways
sad that her feet are hidden :3

*sigh* now this is my next project

>>2592579
here is a value study I did
I am not very good at colors though
>destroy your confidence
b-but anon I abandoned that when I came here!

>>2590439
still loks like a benis between its arms

Cmon give me feedback tell me im shit like cmon dude >>2591571

>>2586202
The only thing I of when seeing this unshaded version is Meet and Fuck games lol

>>2589465
didn't know you could area select on real paper

>>2592635
Hmmmmmmmmm.... If no one else does, i'll make a new thread in a few hours. Repost there (or here) with the original ref and I"ll give a crit

>>2592840
I often find myself instinctively reaching for various key commands when drawing in my sketchbook. It's disheartening.

New >>2592749
(the op is dumb fuck)

>>2592024
all you stuff always seems so stiff. and the colors never match the mood/lighting in the environment you put your characters in. It's like you made a background and just plopped some form from poser, colored it all on it's own into the background.

>>2592966
will do anon thank you
I am really going to work hard on this now because I am realizing I am garbage with out digital painting

Did another study. I think this is really helping me.

>>2585236
Maybe I will try to render it tomorrow.

>>2590548
nose and mouth go upo, they are too far down on the face. so.
make the bottonm of the nose end bout halfway to where the nose ends now to the scar.

then raise the mouth and widen it to poportion

>>2592208
fuck off faggot

this thread is about to die but maybe someone could look this over for me, ive been staring for too long
