wip, been polishing this turd for a few hours

I wanted to keep it as a sketch but I like to color things in so I'm worried I messed it up
>tfw I didn't take a pic of the lineart

>>2659709
It's a good idea to use more ref anon

>>2659711
messing up your lineart is the least of your worries right now

>>2659712
Now, that you mention it, I feel like a retard for not. Oh well

>>2659714
If you're gonna say it's shit can you at least say why

>>2659719
the lines are messy, it's very flat, even for anime it really needs loomis, and sorry for the meme but it's symbol drawing anon

>>2659721
also, erase your goddamn pencil before moving on to markers/paint

>>2659714
I hate edgy faggot like you who contribute nothing to threads but make snarly comments. Can you not go one day without feeding your condescendent ego?

>>2659721
The messy lines were sort of intentional but I can see where I fucked up now, thanks for the tips anon

>>2659721
>>2659724
I gave some constructive criticism

I really need to find a cleaner brush for sketching

>>2659747
that and you REALLY need to make the brush size smaller imo man

>>2659747
Hard round nigga

>>2659747
its not the brush that is making you bad

>>2659812
Sick burns, dawg. Yo! |That'll leave him wondering!

:)

I wish there was a decent digital art course I could be taking, just for a rough idea how to progress.

lmfao, none of you need criticism or 'constructive' criticism for that matter, look at your fucking work without delusion for one second, the problems are immediately obvious and the only feedback you will get is basic shit like work on anatomy, pespective, read loomis etc. holy fuck why does /ic/ and visual art in general attract the lowest common denominator, these posters sound like fucking cavemen

These are quite nice. I like that you are playing with the shapes quite a lot, so continue to push your boundaries and maybe the scale of the ships too. The only detractor is the coloured stripes and things, they feel very cliche and outdated. I've been tired of that aesthetic for years now, ever since I guess Sparth or someone brought it back at some point and then every design had them for a while.

Sure you pointed out what's wrong, but you didnt say how it was wrong. That's different for every drawing posted and what makes a critique useful. Smartass.

Just finished this, I gave up because I couldn't get it to work any better.

I did manage to figure out how to work with paint dot net though, so it wasn't a total loss.

>>2660468
>you pointed out what's wrong, but you didnt say how it was wrong
What are you, an alien? You can't tell when anatomy is wrong? Perspective? Were you dropped?

Plot twist, I don't even draw. But I can still tell when something is completely fucked. I could sit here and pretend to be some master artisan and write a paragraph for each picture posted and - even without any real knowledge of drawing - my critique would be spot on, or accurate enough that nobody would notice I'm a noob. Why is that? Because it's simply mother fucking obvious.

>It's shit
>Git gud
Very beginner mindset you have going - it's ironic because these are infact the only two pieces of feedback that you can tell to anyone and you will still be right. There is always room for improvement, people are too hasty to share their work. The matter of fact is everybody in this thread is simply not good enough to be looking for specific feedback - look at what has been posted since.

Besides, if you trust some random fucker on a forum as the authority on what you need to do to improve, chances are it is very generic feedback anyway.

>>2661194

how can i improve, guys? feedback pls

>>2661213

>>2661194
Oh boy, I was worried that we weren't going to hear from you again because I hurt your feelings.

You are messing up "opinion" with "critique." Anyone can have an opinion, but you have to be an artist to give a critique. Opinions don't tell an artist how to improve, critiques do. Nobody comes here to hear shitty opinions like yours. People want artists better than themselves to tell them how to improve. Maybe pay attention in English class for the rest of high school, smartass. Since you said you don't even draw, do us all a favor and get off the board. /ic/ could use less worthless faggots like you who resent people for making an effort to improve and helping others.

>Very beginner mindset you have going
Yeah you tell it like the venerable industry vet that you are, now THAT's ironic.

>people are too hasty to share their work
Only thing I agree with. It's annoying when someone uploads a rough chicken scratch and asks for critique. But this doesnt invalidate other people's right to a fair critique.

>Besides, if you trust some random fucker on a forum as the authority on what you need to do to improve, chances are it is very generic feedback anyway.
Not true, I have seen very good critiques and even redlines here. Definitely not from you though.

Take another day to formulate your comeback.

>>2661246
dude, you're taking the bait too hard. best way to deal with shits like him is to not reply.

>You are messing up "opinion" with "critique."
Please, show me the 'critique' you would give to these pieces. It's probably very similar to my 'opinion'.
>Nobody comes here to hear shitty opinions like yours.
Clearly not. They come here to post mediocre art.
>[snip]
You seem confused. There's no need to be mad when someone else is right.

>Yeah you tell it like the venerable industry vet that you are, now THAT's ironic.
There are certain similarities between all creative industries. Even if my specialty is not drawing (and by the looks of it, it's nobody in this thread's specialty either) what I've written is still applicable here.

>But this doesnt invalidate other people's right to a fair critique.
Define fair critique. There's only so many ways you can say "your anatomy needs improvement", "your lines are unsure", "you are symbol drawing"

>Not true, I have seen very good critiques and even redlines here.
I suppose it is relative. I.e. all the Asian masters being spammed would not come here looking for critique or feedback (and are probably smart enough not to look for it at all.)

But look honestly at EVERYTHING posted here. Does it really warrant feedback? What can be said about any of it beyond a sentence? Waiting for the 'redlines' which will probably state the obvious. PROTIP: art is not precious, know when to walk away, everybody in here will improve by simply moving on.

>>2661310
>continuing to argue after admitting that he doesn't draw

>>2661312
DUDE if you're the guy that drew the shitty anime drawing with the cigarettes just get fucking over yourself and stop being a crybaby like HOLY SHIT! Da fuq you expect for people to say when you post shit like that? LITERALLY EVERY DRAWING HERE IS SHIT. People gotta stop wasting their time critiquing this shithole.

im trying to identify the cause behind aggressive extensive symbol drawing that always revolved around those type of eyes eyes.

>>2661603
wew lad work on your own stuff

fa̶eces

>>2661646
I like those, careful with aligning your features. Especially the eye line, it's the one it's most important not to slant, and it's out of alignment on the one face you drew from the front, as well as the three-quarter/profile just above it (left eye should be lower I think)

The faces with the least chickenscratching look better, because of the strength of your lines it starts to look really too messy the moment you add too many small lines at the same place. I think what makes your sketches work well is your ability to define forms with fewer lines.

>>2661396
Lol, not even that anon. You don't even draw, get the fuck out.

>>2661656
thanks for the crit, really good advice. I'm trying to sort my lines out but i still end up messing them up on parts that i'm not comfortable with, i'll keep up trying to use longer strokes and slowing down/visualising first.

2 on the right are no ref, left is from photo

I worked on that, it's sill a work in progress so I wanna hear some critics

>>2662013
bottom right has some dope lighting

>>2662018
think about your focal points dawg. The area of highest contrast and in the near center of the image is the negative shape made by the sword and fur and cape. Not everything has to have max contrast and detail. Let your darks blend into the background a little

After months without drawing anything...

>>2662018
the applied textures are very off putting. I like the scaled nose, though.

>>2662166
I assume you're going to add the snowboard later. Because it looks like she's sliding downhill. I mean, it's not even that steep either -- who's she trying to impress by holding that tray straight?

>>2662172
Hahaha that leg killed me, man.

thinking i might extend the canvas a bit at the bottom to make room for some more roadway

>>2662018
>>2662116
This anon speaks wisdom. The focus on furry dog cleavage personally offends me, but more importantly it really doesn't work with the composition. My eyes are being drawn down and around, and it's generally hard to focus in on any one point. It kinda looks like a crop of a larger piece. I mean, it's like kinda hard to grasp the figure-ground relationship just by looking at the thumbnail... Just something I noticed but maybe it's something.

>>2662169
This also exasperates the other point of contention. There are really nicely detailed textures, yes, but they're scattered too haphazardly. I mean, I do understand that it's a WIP, but at a glance it's a bit jarring and definitely something to consider if you haven't already.

Also AHHH SUCKING FUCKING FURRIES MOTHERFUCKER FUCKING FAGGOTS YIFF IN HELL

Bunch of furshit from my stream.

Sorry bout the size don't have time to edit, but I posted in the draw thread which turns out to have reached its limit. But any who I wanted to design a simple well made character, but I somethings off and it's just not clicking for me.

>>2662226
Too much stuff on him desu. Lose the stuff in his sash and the tiny grocery bag. I love the idea of the cheese grater though.

Also the shadow's angle is off. Makes it look like he's not standing on a flat plane.

>>2662226
Hey just yesterday I drew a big guy with a big rectangular sword with a nice (T) helmet

It's like a wavelength thing, man

>>2662234
Idk man one of the complaints I got earlier in the drawing was that he wasn't carrying enough things that give you the idea that he cooks. But I can simplify the tattoo some, like just not give it any line art and just have the colored shapes. Also glad ya like the sword, I call it a GRATE sword!
>>2662239
Man that's creepy, wish I had tin foil so I can make some sailor hats for this shit.

>>2662166
Tiny, tiny calves. And feet.

>>2662242
I was actually going to zing you with "is that supposed to be a tattoo or something?" but I guess it actually is. The thing is, I wasn't sure because the shading is a bit inconsistent elsewhere. Uncertainty! Inconsistency! Not good! It's also a pretty bizarre tattoo to have, but I guess that COULD say something about his character. If you're going to keep the tattoo, I'd say simplify it and make its colors more faded. Way too much detail and the red cheapens the otherwise good use of the color.

Speaking of colors, there are a few annoying eyecatchers in his satchel area. I think the color scheme is really strong besides that though. Of note is the reddish wood of the sword hilt. The whole thing's got some nice warmth.

I just wanna say that often times you'll find that less is more (you even posted saying you wanted a "simple" well made character!) Consider just stripping him naked and adding on as few elements as you can to get the point across. Honestly, a chef's hat and coat should be enough for us to get the hint. Then from there we can get the visual zinger of the cheese grater sword.

That isn't to say that you CAN'T make a good, complicated character that still conveys a personality well. It's just obviously harder. I think a whimsical chef-knight decked out head to toe with cooking gear could be awesome, but it's obviously much harder to pull off.

But don't let that allure you! You said it yourself! Simple! That's your assignment!
Now let's see what you can cook up!

>>2662013
Interesting, there is a lot of charm in these. The two no ref ones are actually better than the reffed one despite having anatomy and proportion "errors". I think if you just cleaned up the edges more they would be lovely.

>>2662261
Nice pun champ, I'm kinda feeling my way around with the shading so yea I'll probably redo it. That makes since with fading the tattoo up so I'll have to do that. I have an idea, I'll remove the satchel, keep the belt replace the two jars of random stuff on his belt with salt and pepper shakers. Also that means a lot on the colors, I normally have done nothing but mostly detailed black and white traditional drawings. I've only recently broke into digital art, in fact this is only like my fourth digital drawing so I've got lil experience in my colors, So this is outside my normal comfort zone. And I know I so badly just wanna break out and do a fuck ton of detail, but I started this idea with simple in mind and I will finish it that way.

>>2662226
>>2662242
Take this with a grain of salt since I don't ever draw cartoony things or animation type stuff (I'm more of a wannabe Craig Mullins usually).

I think the issue with him is twofold. One, you can simplify and unify your shapes more. Notice how simple mine is, and how I can repeat certain types of shapes throughout. He's sort of a blocky character but at the same time not robotically stiff, so he has that swooshy rectangle shape in his hat, his cheese grater, and I added an apron with the same shape. It's further repeated in things like his rolled up sleeve and his satchel. Keeping the shapes simple not only unifies it like this but helps correct things like drawing errors. He feels more grounded now that it's easier to draw the legs and arms, and I can also correct the shadow on the ground plane too. He no longer feels off balance.

The second issue is one of design. It's related to the first point about shapes a lot, but also as a separate thing just thinking about this character. I don't know if you ever worked in a kitchen or not, but I did, and the chef shirts are long sleeved and also there is an apron you wear at all times. Knowing these things, or researching them, helps add a layer of reality to whoever you are drawing and strengthens the idea. Add those things and he looks more like a chef. Also think a bit of functionality--how is that pan just magically attached to his shoulder? I think adding some straps or something would make sense. I did the lazy solution of moving the satchel to the other side and using that as the straps as well. It doesn't really make sense either but on first glance it sort of does.

If you are focusing on design, rather than waste time with making a clean nice drawing, maybe it is better to do some really rough quick sketches and get several iterations out. Look how loose and quick mine is, it only took a couple minutes and if I wanted I could knock out a few more to see what works or doesn't work.

>>2662289
first sword is better.

>>2662289
Holy shit that's a hell of a response. I'd be lying if I said I don't feel a lil failure right now with how quick and easy you did your sketch. But shit happens. I've looked up some reference and did some thumbnails early on based on chef clothing, but I wanted to integrate a knight fairly well with the concept. So he has a satchel for travel, the grate sword actually has a sharp edge all around it, and he has a metal breastplate that is themde to a chef's uniform. But I think I will take a few notes from what y'all have suggested, I'll try reversing the position of the satchel (like you have) to get rid of some of the crampness. I gave him a short sleeved shirt underneath the breastplate, which I'm now seeing was just lazy, so I'll give him the rolled up sleeves like you've suggested. Please ignore the shading though I knew it was real sketchy, I plan on erasing it. As for the pans, (seeing how they are non-stick) I should add some kind of strap, his supposed to have one on each shoulder but the sword is blocking it. I'll have to find a way to make some straps that blend well. In one of the thumb nails I did give him sort of a apron, but like I said before the idea is more around a knight that is chef themed. So I guess his a lil more knight then chef? I'm gonna experiment a bit more with this drawing, then I'll probably do another with more focus on similar shapes like you've suggested. To be fair my thumbnails I used for this were copy and pasted from one thumbnail which I was satisfied with and then edited. I see now that it's biting me in the ass. But once again thanks man for the outstanding advice and response!

>>2662300
Hey I appreciate it, but he does make valid points. I am keeping the goddamn sword though, it's just to GRATE.

His stuff is on another level. Looks like he spends days on his work. These are quick renders. not really interested in going into detail.

Been 6 months since I started drawing seriously and still cant figure out how to draw hair.

th-thanks Reilly-senpai

>>2662714
but it's still fun and it's stuff that was made in the last hour.

A bit boring. Unsure whether to continue.

>>2663004
It is a bit static. A few things contribute to that I think -- the knife going off frame kinda anchors the movement, and, assuming he IS lifting someone up by their throat, his body doesn't seem to reflect that in that it seems kinda weightless.

you'll learn a lot more if you slow down and be more precise

Tomorrow I'll fix that stupid chrome ball.

>>2662744
I've never really spent any time studying hair, so I thought it would be an interesting challenge to try to add some on your heads. I sketched an idea of how I wanted their hair, gathered refs that were similar, redrew it while trying to pay attention to the basic 3d forms the hair is made of. Kept the rendering simple and soft. Got progressively lazier with each wig. :P

>>2663062
Looks really good man! I think the cast shadow from the chrome sphere on the cyan shape should be a little crisper. If it's receiving direct sunlight then the cast shadow would be pretty hard, especially if the two objects are so close together like that. I also think the cyan blob thing would have a specular reflection of the sun somewhere on it since it seems to be glossy (based on the reflections in the shadow).

>>2662744
study a lot of bald heads, and learn the hairline. Hair on women drapes over a lot, it's hard to really determine how everything works, where to start and where to stop it. Also find refs or look at the top of peoples heads and study how the hair spawns outwards,

>>2662746

Hmm. I changed the pose arm location. He was supposed to be tossing someone (like a motion) but I get what you're saying by stiff.

>>2662018
Is the head a bit too small...? Or far back...?

Is the lighting convincing enough? Experimenting with dramatic shadows.

visually it's boring. the perspective doesn't add to the action that's happening.

if you were to draw him landing viewed from below it'd look much more dramatic.

>>2663409

>>2663414
if you say it so bluntly, but yes.

>>2663406
>>2663414
Don't be discouraged. It definitely has potential, you're just missing a few key ingredients. The further you push yourself out of your comfort zone, the sooner you'll learn. Take a new perspective, figuratively and maybe even literally.

Imagine a your painting is a camera. Now just move it around. Get closer to the figure, try different angles. It helps to use references to first break through that barrier of habit. Right now I think your first challenge is moving away from the centered figure composition. And it might suck at first, but that means you're getting somewhere new.

can you point out where it needs improvement? I've been drawing on and off for almost a year now.

>>2663445

be careful, one character doesn't have the exact same haircut as all the others
you might wanna fix that

Just spent 2h 40m drawing 2-ish minute figures without stopping. I paused a few of them to over-render and thusly ruin them. I know it's probably redundant to take no breaks for that long but it felt so satisfying to fill the canvas like that.

Going back to drawing after 2 years of inactivity is hard.

Thumbnails due to bordom.

They suck, but I suppose they are just thumbnails.

Good stuff anon, nice use of values.

>>2666929
You're gonna make it if you keep going like that anon.

this is great, very dark souls
only one that doesn't read well is third from the top on the left, there's a lot of tangents that make the space unclear

>>2667064
They're not really that good but thanks.

Are you talking about the entrance one? Yeah I was trying to into perspective and get out of my silly comfort zone. Still got a long way to go.

just started on this

wow. I love these.

>>2667523
Thanks!

I'm pretty satisfied with this but I'm afraid of fucking it up with rendering

>>2667597
It's going to happen man. Just let it happen. If you're not confident in rendering, it probably means it sucks. You can always redraw it. don't worry too much about it.

>>2667519

So this is one of my first attempts at nature studies with acrylics. I've been staring at it for too long so I can't even tell if it's bad anymore.

>>2668033
I noticed you posted here too so I will point out my crit in the other thread for you >>2668056

>>2668075
Define edges/values in a way that supports your focal point

>>2668082
tried to listen to your advice and this is what happened. lmao jesus christ

>>2668109
Guys I'm spiraling out of control

>>2668109
You were onto something with this one.

>>2668171
Then you went a bit overboard here. First thing I'd do is make the lighthouse/tower thing darker again. Just making it brighter doesn't make it stand out more. You had it pretty good in the first one, because it was a darker, less saturated color than the blue/orange compliments behind it. By further desaturating it in the second one you further increased its contrast by moving farther away from the orange that's present in the sky.

>>2668171
its okay to start something new. calm down anon this isn't your last painting!

where do learn to draw chibi

I was bored in class

>>2668439
thats fucking awesome

>>2667165

It's great if you work on it more, the lighting is kind of dull and boring, add some sunlight and reflective light in your environment and the characters' clothes, weapons, and armor. Also work on rendering your background a bit more. My only other advice would be to make the perspective a bit more interesting, like finding another angle to point the camera. Hope it helps, otherwise keep it up.

Trying to get the hang of this pencil hatching thing
Any tips?

>>2668552
Fucking nice, everytime.

>>2668574
Your hatching looks fine. Maybe some shapes like the mouth/snout of the left drawing are some or sloppy and ambiguous, but otherwise these are nice.

that's where her shit and farts come out.

That's also where you came out. Thank goodness the Docs double checked the toilet twice when you were born.

ahahaha. thank you anon

Self portrait from a mirror, too bad It barely looks like me. Did it without glasses though, so eh. Excuses the details but not the proportion mistakes. Crits pls?

>>2668574
More thought into blocking out form and modeling your way through the drawing I guess? P nice anyway.

>rendering 15+ concrete slabs
haha this stopped being fun long ago

Thumbnail looked pretty nice, upclose ofc it seems a little sloppy. Those knees look... painful. For lack of a better term.
>>2669633
These are cute.
>>2669510
Zen from Overwatch? Or Omi from Xiaolin Showdown, hah. Anyways, don't be afraid to create a new layer on top and shade a bit. In my experience, thinner (final) lines are more pleasing to look at. Or, no lines at all if your rendering is on point.

>>2670990
Thumbnail looks kind abad, but the fullsize view is really nice. Maybe try getting a clearer overall read through lineweight and detail organization a bit more.

>>2661178

oh my god dude what are you

you are not human

>>2671746

i learned basic form in drawabox but jesus fuck am i bad at shading,advice?

i make an artificial point and treat it as my light source but i lack consistency with it

>>2671377
The thing is I don't wanna have this be a line drawing , i wanna render it but every attempt amounted to this this looking like shit and looking better as just lineart .
I don't really know what to study to get the results I'm looking for.

>>2671367

"Painful" for the knees is generous. I literally cannot grasp how to draw them.

>>2672293
yo you got a blog?

The drawing is nice, but I find the colours are all too similar. Everything has essentially the same local colour and material, and there's almost no value or colour shift from light to shadow.

Also I find the drawing of the chest is inconsistent with the thickness of the metal border on the lid. On the right side it seems to have some thickness as it rises above the wood, but where her foot is it's drawn as though the metal is flush with the wood.

>>2659669

not with that attitude. with the lighting from the furnace you could be casting light on all sorts of shapes in the image.

Damn it anon. Why are you always right.

>>2673059
I didn't notice I had f.lux open when painting so I had to make changes near the end and everything wounded up looking kind of the same, not the real colors I was going for, but I was going for an analogous color composition regardless.
I get what you say about the chest, in the sketch it was in an even greater perspective and made sense, I had to make slight adjustments when doing the lineart and I neglected that detail.

>>2673247
Don't mind people that criticize without saying anything constructive, they're just airing their insecurities on someone else
