Your composition is boring AF. Your characters of interest and the giant meaninGlens rock in the back are framing in a big empty space at the center of the page. Made worse by the fact that the meaningless rock is roughly the same exact height as the charactors which tells me that the two ideas are of equal significance. Make your subjects bigger or make the rock smaller or break the rock into several rocks or remove entirely etc. etc.

You might also want to have another look at your colors and values. Straight up black is a terrible choice

Hey fags can I get a crit pls.

>>2739824
That leg might be broken. critique pls, animu eyes are kinda fucked up, I'm working on it.

>>2739824
These are just random pictures I've drawn this year and the ones that didn't make me cringe honestly.
I wanna be a artist that dabbles in both comic books and animation. But I'd like to get better also and would like pointers in how to do so. I will accept all criticisms and will come back again one day once I feel as though I have improved.

Looks pretty good to me! Sorry I ain't got nothin of value to say.

>>2740629
Thank you anyway man, I appreciate it.

>>2740348
Looks like a limp puppet. Foreshortening on the knife hand is awful. Would suggest break down arm into simpler shapes first to see how they would work. Arm with hand in pocket is incorrect point elbow outwards. It's how it works naturally. The chest and shoulder placement feels off as well but I can't say. Please keep practicing and do your best!

>>2740348
Also he has baby hands.

>>2740543
Also really like your colors. Please keep it up!

Can anyone give me some tips on what to focus, work, or practice on?

I drew this last night on a tablet. I've just started learning 5 days ago.+++++++++

>>2740683
Loomis

kubo

>>2740688
for some reason, any link to the loomis website from the stick does not work for me.

could anyone check if it's down for them too?

>>2740718
you should be able to torrent a pdf copy or just google it easily man

or you could buy a hard copy like I did because Loomis is based as fuck

>>2740683
You still can't draw nothing at all. There's no sense in telling you specifics, since there's no fundamentals at all.

Basic observational drawing (to stop drawing symbols), then Gesture drawing, at last anatomy.

>>2740718
There's an ebook thread.

>>2740733
thanks senpai. That's good enough as an advice.

I'll google gesture drawing later. I guess i'll start with drawing symbols then?
Should I use pen and paper first, or just go digital since i can? I've heard some people say that either method won't make a difference but I feel more comfortable in paper.

>>2740742
The thing is to stop drawing symbols, not to draw them.
Observational drawing will focus on your mindful act of seeing and looking at what's in frnt of you. Drawing specifically what's there, not what you think is there, to evaluate distances, to look at angles and values of shades.

There's no sense in arguing between digital OR paper, just draw a lot. Usually people can draw wherever and when they want by using pen and paper, but it's up to you.

I was thinking of putting the whole website into a pdf with the chrome automatic japanese to english translation for the text. Would that interest anyone else?

Anyone know what happened to pic related? Turr-nip was his name iirc. Tumblr was deleted a while back and I want to if there's more of his stuff

>>2740780
Please do. I think this will be useful. But the auto-translate is a bit of a problem.

He's still alive. He just probably doesn't want to post studies anymore.

>>2741042
Her torso is way too long. Study how people sit and relay that to your work. Other obvious errors are the legs and how her socks don't really wrap around the form and are arbitrarily flat.

>>2741042
Hands. Study them, you cannot afford to ignore hands they are integral to gesture and character. Take hands more serious

>>2741081
>>2741085
Thanks, i will do it

>>2740742
>>2740750
>There's no sense in arguing between digital OR paper

Except there is, specially as a beginner. If you're starting with digital, you will deal with much more digital-only issues, than using traditional media (What DPI is best? My drivers are not working. Which resolution is best? Which brushpack is best? What is opacity vs flow? I have too much jitter. Do I need a cintiq? Do I need a better PC?... I can Go on and on).

You start with pen and paper until you are 100% confident in your lines. Then you move to digital and review the ctrlpaint.com library.

>>2741092
what did people use before ctrl paint?

>>2740356
Is this mikufag? I haven't browse these threads in years

what are legs or faces or anything for the matter

>>2740772
This is enjoyable

I'm really trying to get out of my muh-animu phase but don't want to draw realism too..

>>2741142
tayou matsumoto is muh anime too you know

>>2741164
I'll rephrase it as muh-moeblob then

>>2741139
I like but shoes look like they are on the opposite of each other.

The thing is that all those issues you mention are no worry to a beginner studying fundamentals.

>>2741231
Are you gonna make a comic eventually about giant lolis?

>>2741139
love your style

First thing I draw from the imagination and using digital media.

Which resources should I check if I want to improve? I feel anatomy is flawed, but can't see exactly where. Help would be appreciated.

May I be of continue or proceeding to the kill of self?

>>2741186

woah how do

bird thing

http://thatfisher.tumblr.com/

Is this guy from /ic/?? How do I draw so loosely!?

>>2741427
>I'm pretty sure he is.

Here's some shit I did yesterday...or the day before idr

>>2740993
To the left of where the viewer is.
Almost all the stuff I draw has a similar facial expression and the subject looking at the viewer. Its boring and lazy and I don't want to be Firez

>>2741139
Do you work for CLAMP?

>>2741042
Hey I genuinely like this. I know its kinda a meme insult but in all seriousness do you have a blog?

>>2741178
I like it
the only thing that bothers me is the bottle
make the bottom an ellipse

>>2741585
most serious flaws are the eyes are derpy and the hands are backwards.

>>2741587
thanks. ive posted here many times and this is the only peice of actual criticism that isnt "learn2draw" crap

>>2740543
I think the facial lines are a little bit small compared to the arm lines.

I cant seem to fin any references to this, I am having a lot of trouble drawing her bent legs, I don't really know how they are supposed to look, I don't understand how the articulations on the legs work.

Mind helping me a bit? I know is not as much as anime as a cartoony style, but... I dont know where to go.

>>2741139
The legs feel real wiggly, like bendy twigs.

>>2741613
It´s because you need to learn to draw.
Look at her hand! This show your lack of knowledge in something so simple as it is where I put the right hand and where I put the opposite one.

>>2741424
calm down tori

>>2741614
Okay I felt so too, but then I didn't like the face lines afterwards. Lineweight is a challenge but I appreciate your input thank you.

>>2739824

>>2741385
Looks pretty flat to me. Did you already try loomis? I say this non memeticly of course.

>>2741313
Already made one actually

>>2740683
Same anon who drew this here the other day.


After reading the Loomis book about "pencils and fun", I've decided to defile my recently illustrated imaginary person to try drawing again.
I've only read the part about structures or building though. The very first part. I'll continue reading again later.


Did I improve just a little? like 2% or something?

>>2741742
Improvement is only something you can judge. Read up on color theory if you get the chance. It only takes an hour or so. Will improve your backgrounds. They look bad mainly because they don't look good.

>>2741742
Don't do that you dip! Read and follow the instructions if it makes you feel better, incorporate what you want to do through loomis. And to answer your question, I honestly can't tell because you didn't even redraw the piece you made yesterday and instead made crude genitals. Why not show what you learned?

>>2741742
It's more impressive than what /beg/inners usually do. It shows emotion, it has perspective, it correctly communicates the idea.

>>2741744
>>2741749
>>2741753


Thanks for the feedback.

I'm still studying about what >>2740750 said so I'm not currently focusing on the backgrounds yet.

I'm still having trouble with colors though. I can't seem to figure out where to darken the correct places. It took me 3 hours just to make this one image. I wasted most of my time deciding which area should have some shadows.


>you didn't even redraw the piece you made yesterday and instead made crude genitals. Why not show what you learned?
I still think I'm not ready yet. I'm planning to completely redraw >>2740683 one week from now just to see how far i went. If I redraw now, I'm sure it'll turn out the same.

For now, I'll focus on areas that I'm not familiar with. For this instance, the lower area of the body, since I never liked to draw feet or something like that.

>>2741756
I'm this fag>>2741749

I'm not great at colors myself but I would suggest learning values, aka drawing in black and white to learn about how light and shading goes. That should help you with that. However, if I was you, I would not worry about that and focus on form first. But that's just me.

>>2740772
>Lewd potential here

>>2741768
>I would not worry about that and focus on form first
Thanks. I'll give your suggestion a try later by going to /beg/ to repeatedly draw one of their examples till I get it right.

But I still plan to learn multiple things at once slowly since I'm aware how much time it takes to actually get good.

By the way, is it fine for me to make scratchy lines for now since I'm a beginner? I'm actually trying to avoid it since I've read that it's actually a bad habit. It's making lines and circles very difficult for me though, just like pic related, on the right.

>>2741790
I wouldn't quite know since my art had, up until recently, had been rather scratchy as a stylistic choice
>pic related
I do find it hard to find confidence in my lines now so I would agree with you. Get confidence now so you wond have to struggle with it later.

>>2741790
>>2741807
Fuck sorry for the flipped image

>>2740682
Can I see a sample of your workflow? Gesture/construction mostly.

>>2741139
that face/head is tiny
something about it is really off, i think its the eyes are too small?

>>2740024

nude sitting girl person here

hi a friend wanted to look at me draw a nude girl for some reason so i did it

also its p ok practice and im relatively shit so why not

>>2742476
why do you draw eyes so far apart? it's not as appealing

>>2741836
I prioritize fun lines and shapes over construction. I feel I have the most fun when I just go from line to line and I do straight lines to simplify the thought required.
it's good because I enjoy the process much more than if I were to construct it out of basic shapes, the downside is that there are usually issues with coherence.

>>2742637

I drew mine because I am a dirty Pedophile desu.

>>2741385

Fix her hands. Eyes seem off. What the fuck with that pose? What is she looking at?

The way you're rendering makes me absolutely think of Shadman. I reccomend you look at links in the OP and search for anime speedpaints on Nicovideo (forget about youtube or at least browse past the autistic gumball fanart and get titles in Japanese).

Use references, even if you're drawing from the imagination.

>>2741427
just stay in your comfort zone and never try anything new

>>2741864
Immensely better. Good work anon and good luck.

I spend so much time trying to make it "pretty" it pretty often ends up looking boring, dull, static.

And his hands and arms look weird

Roast me further. I've been stagnant these past few months

thoughts?

>>2742896
looks like clip art

>>2742907
i get that a lot. I guess its the bold lines and weak attempt at cel shading.

>>2742907
another clip arty piece.

drew this for a girl i like, what are the chances she lets me smash that puss?

>>2743085
very likely, doesn't take much to impress the ladies with a drawing

>>2743091
she said i was so cute and that she felt honored. #artzoned

>>2743128

follow up "so when can i smash that puss?"

works every time

better yet "can you PLEASE let me smash that puss PLEASE im BEGGING YOU" chicks dig it guaranteed trust me

>>2743132
she's an sjw tho

>>2743135
why bother in the first palce then?

>>2740356
I'm loving the pose and fit appearance.
Face could be more curvy and fixed because it seems too round but you have the form down. The leg to the right might need to be fixed perspective wise and shifted to a other view.

overall I love and it's a good start

>>2740543
Face is great and I'm loving the pastel colors you used.
The arm could use a little more bulk or meat because it looks to thin and the body needs some proportion.
Practice on the wrinkles and more importantly line weight.
I don't know much about blades or (rapiers?) but I can see the attempt to add a pop up effect to the bottom part. I recommend making thin white streaks in a circular motion rather than the bold ones shown.

I like it and if i were to see it on a social site, I would surely give it a like.

>>2740682
I like it great construction just one thing.
The arm is too long. remember the wrist lines up with the crotch and the elbow lines up with what i would say the bottom of the Rib cage.

>>2740331

>>2743232

I like the swirl of her hair and the dress, it mixes in really nice. I would say though the twist in the feet/lower limbs is weird however since you've abandoned it on her torso (she's facing direct, lower half twisted to the right).

I would also maybe bump up the brightness on her, atleast her upper half/face by just a margin. My eyes go from her dress, travel up (her) left side of hair, and to her face. I don't know if that's the intent with the lighting but it's like one big curve to me, which is nice, but I don't know if that's the intent. I'm not super great at composition so sorry if that's not very useful. That being said you seem to be getting way better at composition. Don't you work professionally?

>>2743072
No but for real i was joking about the hammerhead shark thing, i think its a cool looking style

I often wonder what one can deduce when no one replies to their post. It appears the only people who receive criticism are either god awful or clearly going to make it.

Traning a bit of lineart, how to mix lineart and good render? im used to just blocking in

>>2743332
That hair or whatever extended bangs to the side ruins it imo. Sag her tits and it'd look like your local librarian lady.

any advice on how to draw the face more feminine?

>>2743346
learn to draw faces first

>>2743347
Its just that I've been drawing a lot of male characters, I don't really know how to transition into drawing attractive females.

some creatures
think im gonna completely redo the bottom right pose, not feeling it

>>2743147
>sjw
>fan of lotr
Anon, if you're not 300lbs and have a face that resembles a human, i believe you can do better

>>2743346
Well your proportions are really off and it ruins the drawing. Learn to draw proper female faces and then stylize it into whatever style you're going for. Also I get the feeling you traced from one of those emo girl pics, but I have nothing to prove it & I don't really care.
To be specific, the defects in your drawing are as follows: Long nose, weird cheek tumor, eyes, eyebrows too close to eyes, no shade below chin.

>>2743350
Can I see one of your male characters?

>>2743384
Thanks for the genuine critique, here's one of my male characters I've been working on.

Come on guys, don't even make fun of Kyle. I mean look, he does a commission a month if he's lucky because no one wants to pay him and look, I mean fucking look at this. He can't even draw men. This guy's face looks so fucking dopey.

>>2743376
am in italy bro, in an engineering university so in a 100km radius for every girl there's 4 successful good looking engineers, and nobody uses dating sites here so unless you're super social you're shit out of luck. I look like this http://imgur.com/a/smxDN and i can't find a gf for shit, I'm thirsty asf

What is Kyle's blog? I like his art.

>>2743420
>>2743420
He's really not that good, he draws the same faces over and over, same body over and over and he only does commissions once a month meaning he has no people willing to pay him. They clearly see him doing same face over and over.

>>2743424
I want to see the rest of the art myself. Is he really that bad at drawing faces?

Jelly butthurt fag detected.

>>2740639
Yeah I agree the knife hand is awful, I had a lot of trouble with it, I can't seem to get an organic looking hand going for shit without directly copying a reference. The pocket arm is supposed to look like that, I was going for a similar thing to that pigeon toe thing that girls do, it's supposed to look awkward and quirky, I don't know. It's supposed to look like he's leaning back a little bit and towards the camera.
>>2740642

I like your style, btw

>>2743680

Those are head wings, not horns. It's a japanese demon thing. I'm not completely sure but I think it originally comes from their folklore and found in wood cuts so it's not just in animu. They tend to come out from the middle of the head above the ear in mosts designs rather than where you would typically place horns.

>>2743685
oh.

well now I feel stupid.

>>2740356
The nipple positioning is ridiculous.

According to Church tradition, Veronica was moved with pity when she saw Jesus carrying his cross to Golgotha and gave him her veil that he might wipe his forehead. Jesus accepted the offering, held it to his face, and then handed it back to her—the image of his face miraculously impressed upon it. This piece of cloth became known as the Veil of Veronica.

>>2741304

>>2743449
You should break down the hand into simpler shapes that way you can understand how they should look without reference. And about the pose and pocket arm, I get what you were saying, as well as what you were trying to do, but that is simply incorrect anatomy. Humans literally cannot perform the pose you made comfortably or naturally. Now, admittedly I am not the best at three point perspective, nor entirely at Loomis levels on anatomy, but here is a redline of what I believe is a more comfortable natural pose. It is rather sloppy and if I you want me to be more clear on what I mean or you simply disagree, please let me know. I just would like you to do your best is all.

Something inspired in that, but why old :((?

>>2743980
yours still looks off

>>2744045
Something about the saggy tits, and the arms gives it a granny-like impression, and I can't really tell, but the mouth kinda gives an old granny vibe, and also the eyes are a bit too far away, even for anime. I like the shoes and frills tho.

had fun with designing a boss-type character, i think ill rework his energy though

>>2743406
the girls are what matter

>>2740951
Better than the rest of the thread combined.

>>2744271
Maybe not the most flattering angle since it takes a second or two to realize that he has floating arms. How tall is he compared to the player? Since you said he's a boss I imagine must be sizeable but there is little sense of scale.

>>2744342

Good. "everything" includes your paintings, not that it matters

i have so much trouble with the anatomy of the legs, hair, clothing, inking, pretty much everything

>>2744379
Do you have a blog? I really like your drawing

>>2744263
Maybe you're right but I don't see it. If you could correct it to set an even better example for the fella, by all means as I don't want to give him false information or a skewed interpretation of how it should be.

>>2741186
I mean her shins seem a bit short and there's no real perspective when it comes to the legs in general but as far as the style goes it doesn't seem bad what do you thinks so off about it?.

>>2744611
Blog?

Don't have any.

You're so full of shit.

hi. i spent 50 minutes on this. i really tried hard. please critique ^_^ i like her eyes

>>2744648
Make one now senpai

Can I get a crit, while Marie Antoinette gets mommies cummies?

>>2744712

>>2744712
I like the background, very well made.

>>2744772
>>2744787
you're so not taking the bait!

>>2744758
what am i looking at?

>>2744814
Ribcage end should be much lower and those tits are ugly as fuck

>>2742702
Good thank you. You're doing a very good job btw.

>>2742899
If it's anything, it's definitely more atmospheric than your other attempts.

>>2739824
I find myself drawing like this a bunch, I like it so I'm gonna keep doing it. Thoughts?

>>2743416
Fuck m8 but why are you trying to fug a girl that is into vaginas

>>2745045
you need a lot more skills to pull off the "made in 30 seconds but it still looks cool" style.

Working on this currently but I feel as though something is off with the mouth area

>>2745148
put the mouth lower, the chin is too big. And fix that nose. It looks cool as it is, but it has potential to look awesome

>>2745152
By fix the nose, which part do you mean?

>>2745043
Your faces always look flat in comparison to the body

>>2745168
you completely forgot the red line in pic related. And you could try to make it a bit more pointy (blue line) but idk that could be a style if you can pulll it off. Experiment.

>>2745182
Thanks senpai

dunno if this is the right thread
but critiques anyone?

>>2745201

>>2745205
ur not the first one to say that, lol
too much saturation on the background right?

>>2745208
The background is the least of your problem m8

>>2745208
well, i already got notified about the pillow shading effect, anything you want to add?

>>2745214
A thumb to her hand, + a fundamental understanding of anatomy.

>>2745230
oh yeah, there's that too
in the original sketch she had the thumb, but i was too retarded to forget about it on the lineart :p

>>2745201
Resize, faggot

Testing base colors...

down syndrome chic

>>2745510
Make that girl into a 5 year old and it would be more realistic.

What is "SPIRIT COOKING" anyway?

>>2745538
Did I just see this exact post and image on /a/ or am I finally losing it

>>2740683
Gonna redraw this in 2 days, so i'll have to study and work as hard as i can.

In the mean time, progress report for now. pic related.

5 days in from when I started seriously learning. Currently following the advice on trying to draw without color. I don't think I've improve that much. I still can't seem to properly analyze proportions. Having problems with shading too.

>>2745562
What is wrong with you?

>>2745562
Keep at it, it takes a long time. Like months at a time.

>>2745588
Exactly, kind anon.

I want to know what is wrong with me and then fix it.

>>2745610
You didnt read the sticky.

>>2745537
wat gurl? ;3

Very new to painting and coloring in general, not sure at all how to handle hair

>>2745616
Already did, Anon. I'm just harmlessly posting my really slow progress towards getting good and be able to draw like >>2739824

It can't hurt after all. Except towards another person's eyes that is.

I'm even drawing things in paint based on what I randomly see on other boards sometimes, only when I'm not seriously trying to learn. Just like pic related.

>>2741585
>>2741591
And the nose is not a nose. At all.
And the shoulder is ripping itself off.

>>2741670
love it, gw man. Only intermediate art-fag here, but the only mistakes I can see are yet-to-be-determined in the lower legs... so... Yeah. Please post results :)

>>2742852
Good news is, you've got some pretty decent colors going on there!
Hard to say what to critique cause I'm not sure whether you want a line heavy style or not, but I'd personally remove the fuck out of those.

Focus on the form when you're painting as well, that'll push some more life into it. You've completely flattened that shoulder! Watchu doing man!
There's only a line differentiating the medallion and the bouquet, the bouquet should really wrap around towards his chest otherwise you're just creating this huge flat spot smack bang in the middle of your painting.

Oh and you're a faggot or something

>>2742896
You know what's sexy? Having an actually fucking belly, not a cleft through the middle of your abs. Having a tail that attaches just at the top of the ass, preferably not one at all.
You've gotta work on your anatomy man, I don't want to grill you and ruin your motivation, but I've gotta list some stuff to fix before you start working with color, so bear with me.
-The anatomy of the entire body.
-Tits are hanging off a non-existent rib-cage.
-Collar bones are completely flat as well, due to non-existent rib-cage.
-Hips and legs are totally lacking in construction.
-You've cheated your way out of doing the hands properly, we both know it. Don't fight it, just learn how to do them.

I recommend going through and drilling one thing at a time. Getting a rough idea of how the muscles look beneath the skin, then doing a bunch of drawings of that body part using reference to better understand how it looks.

Good luck :)

Come on dumbass, you're decently handsome. On a scale of 1-10, if 5 is average, you're a solid 7. Now stop being a little bitch, get back to practicing :)

>>2743651
Rem and Ram?

>>2745825
more like last seasons elders and christmas cake for 2

Anotha one

>>2744644
idk to be honest, it's just the more I look at it the less I like it and it doesn't match the image I had in mind when I started this but that's always been the case with pretty much anything I do that isn't a study.

The problem comes from not being able to push the kind of rendering I want to achieve while getting frustrated as I'm painting this because I haven't gotten to that level yet.

>>2745650
Colouring could use a bit more contrast on the loli and Samus, but it's pretty good.

I like the proportions of the figures in the background.

>>2741304

What do you guys think about this one?
I'm curretly in a process of "selfrediscovery" in art, use to make a ton of "realistic" stuff but now I'm gravitating towards something more cartoonish.
Been studying a lot of Disney, Dreamworks, Manga, whatever character art catches my eye.

>>2744611
plz dude do you have a blog??

Does anybody know how to make simple cartoons look better?

I feel like there's a lot that I'm missing once I adapt them to simple 3D forms.

>>2746101
I'm not really accustomed to cartooning much, but I'd like to get better at it.

I mainly draw from life and figures, so I'm having a bit of a hard time translating that into sleek shapes.

>>2746078
I think you've got poor shape language, and that's reflected in your cartooning. The ear isn't a simple oval/circle; the head is a misshapen sphere; the hair doesn't really follow any sort of geometric shape; the line quality is pretty awful, and the drapery is incredibly ugly. You've placed lines willy-nilly on the shirt and the cape, and it's fucking terrible. I see you have no understanding as to how cloth works.

It looks like you need to continue to draw from life before you decide to draw more cartoons. Your fundamentals are either shoddy, or they're not there.

It doesn't really feel like there's much depth in this either. The colors aren't good, and the texturing on the wood is very bad.

I can't tell if you've decided against using form, or if you simply can't do form in the first place.

>>2746078
On top of this, there's really no reason for certain lines to exist in this character. As a viewer, I don't know what in the world those 2 lines on both arms are trying to convey.

>>2742646
I like far apart eyes on characters, makes them look like innocent woodland creatures.

>>2743420
Can I get Sauce to Kyle's tutorials?

>>2741424
Can I see more of this please?

>>2743332
I'll render it, maybe make the left arm a bit smaller?

>>2746354
Something looks terribly off with her right elbow and knee. It looks like she was just in a horrible accident

>>2741336
i like the style anon

>>2746354
I can see from your works that you have quite a refined drawing style, however you make weird mistakes. I mean that right knee looks like it has a tumor sticking out from the side of it.. I don't know know if it's just your style, but surely I think you can fix these simple mistakes for a better result?

>>2746354
fix dem joins, boy.
They look chewed up as fuck.
Otherwise its dope
Also can i see one of your completed works? That linework looks really rough, nigga. im curious to see how you pull through with that.

anime is seen as shallow, not an art form, not capable of depicting anything beyond itself.

When will anime be taken seriously in the west? I mean the ghost in the shell movie might be a step in the right direction.

anywho, i would love it if you guys posted some anime artwork that is worthy of being called "art"

>>2746078
Pay attention to your line quality, and try to convey a story with your image.

>>2745814
Thanks for the legitimate critique.

new thread >>2746465

>>2743400
If your gonna copy anothers work, at least do it well.

>>2746484
holy fuck nice catch

>>2746226
flat, somewhat stiff. quite unengaging lineart and a symbol drawn face, try reading some of the books in the sticky

Warming up.

>>2746543
thats a beauitful Dorito

>>2746543

>>2746548
>>2746657
had some sleep and I can see now where it all went so terribly wrong, I'll fix it.

>>2743980
sorry family, you're just not seeing what i'm talking about.
you're thinking i want the figure posing the way you're drawing him, everything stiff, torso facing the front, arm relaxed.
That's not what I'm going for, the torso is twisting towards the camera and leaning back slightly. This placement goes with the arm which is tense (notice how the pocket is buldgin) and completely straightened out.
What I will say is accurate is that the hand looks weird.
I was also not the one responding to your post saying it looks off.

>>2745148
the eyebrows are fucked.

>>2740683
Exactly 1 week has passed, no noticeable and impressive improvement so far. This is the redraw.

Say it with me, bois: Not gonna make it.

>>2747536
Please. Stop.

>>2747584
Too late, anon. There's no turning back for me now.
