How's this figure? It's for a commission. Does anything looks off or need adjusting? Red lines appreciated with explanation critiques welcome too.

Opinions?

>>2759542
Thanks for the link as well as the example; I find all of this very helpful! Much appreciated.

>>2759590
I like it. Got any fully done pieces?

Why does it not want to rotate?

>>2759593
Not really, I always get to this stage then ruin it or get scared that I'll ruin it.
I'm not good at inking.

>>2759598
I understand what you mean. Really the best way is just to embrace failure and do it so you can get better at it. The more you mess up, the more you'll have it figured out!

>>2759510
Arm looks off/broken.
Not sure if its because it looks flat or the lines are still in the sloppy stage.
Don't forget the basics. Get that cylinder in there!

>>2759608
it looks fine.

Will it rotate now?

>>2759624
hold the phone horizontally if you want to take horizontal pictures, vertically for vertical pictures

>>2759631
Its scanned.
I just got a new scanner.
This is the third thing I've scanned. Still trying to figure it out.
For some reason rotating it in photo viewer didn't work. Rotating it in ms paint brought it up to over 2mb for some reason.

I could have just resized it in paint. But I added a few lines to it since I first scanned it.

>>2759503
Proportional issues.

Holy shit man, off to /beg/ now

>>2759675
Very nice, reminds me of the bg painting in the Dofus movie. Maybe it needs a clearer focal point? the foreground on the left is competing with the bird and building in the middle.

Bump from end of last thread. WIP

>>2759684

didn't know about that movie, awesome stuff

>>2759693
That movie is so good. Im trying my best to emulate their style.

>>2759678
>I don't have the capacity to perceive beyond the confines of classical draftsmanship and real world fundamentals so I'm just going to assume that was not what the Artist intended and presume the Artist doesn't know what he's doing!

Is this correct or is here something really wrong with it?

>>2759742
The neck seems slightly too thick, the shoulder blades, are not accurate,her legs do not match the proportions of her torso, and the way you drew her left forearm seems to be quite off. Practice more.

>>2759685
Will continue later after work.

>>2759503
is very raymond pettibon

Since I posted this towards the end of the previous thread. I see I need to fix the faces and hand sizes, anything else while work on on it?

>>2759794
Is this Totoko? She looks a little cross-eyed and the line below her eye has her looking old.

Current wip for /v/, anything to fix before I continue?

>>2759646
>>2759676
>>2759820
Thanks for the advice, gonna work on that left arm especially. I tried to make it look like it was swinging back but its definitely not working.

Opinions?

>>2760012
Cute

>>2759678
Maybe her name is Hulga, and she's the one that kicks rowdy adventurers out of the bar when they've had a few too many. If that's the case she's perfect.

>>2759634
If it's the default windows photo view thing, you have to close the window after rotating so it saves the change.

>>2759959
i dont even know what's goin gon here

>>2760012
Neck is looking huge from here, too far back?

>>2759959
gonna need more detail than that man

>>2760196

>>2759959
Hard to figure out since the foreground and background colours are nearly the same brightness

"is my art passable yet :(" i ask as i post yet another shitty sketch that can't really be critiqued
h e l p

>>2760269
Post fully rendered works

>>2760271
i can't really post any finished works because i just got back into digital... the only thing i've actually finished has already been posted to pixiv and i don't want anyone to find me with google because i'm dumb like that. sorry (´・ω・`)
i just want to know if my sketches at least look okay.

>>2760287
I like it, so yeah passable.

>>2760269
Nope.
You have some knowlage of how to draw a face but anithing down there looks pretty half assed.

I have nothing against stylized square hands but these look pretty bad. A good reference would be watching the sword in the stone, I love the motion of merlin and the stylization of other body parts (mostly the animals and creatures).

Go back to studying m8.

>>2759265

>>2760368
P-professor?

here's something i actually colored yay
>>2760294
thank you!
>>2760305
i can't say it wasn't half assed lmao ;_;
>You have some knowledge of how to draw a face
heads are pretty much all i've been practicing lately. i've been doing some gestures too but skipping hands because i am a coward, i'll be sure to actually sit down and study them soon! i hope the hands in pic related look at least a little bit better. thank you!!

>>2760368
Is it just me or the eyes seem off. Misplaced

>>2760368

Ahhhhh.
I want to go back.

>>2760464

>>2760399
Could you elaborate a bit more? Are they too low?

>>2760447
I'm not very good at drawing animal faces

>>2760507
The faces are rounder and cuter. Everything feels more rounded really, even the boobs of the top one.

>>2760507

>>2760507
What brushes do you use?

>>2759503
Cool coloring. Nice shadows. Just that one arm.

>>2760510
Thanks, I'm trying to feel forms better and gauging how much rendering is really needed to depict them properly

>>2760515
<3 Makes me feel a bit fuzzy inside but at the same time I'm afraid it was one of those posts I regret afterwards :x

>>2760522
I use Sketchbook Pro Android fr almost all my line work these days, I use its pencil tool, the 4th synthetic brush and some smudge too

aaaa

wonderful and helpful input, thanks.

>>2759675
Very cool. I want that girl to be cuter, though.

>>2760464
That face is horrendous m8

Skorupi a cute, but is the figure a boy or a girl?

>>2759675
This is awesome! Colors and mood are real comfy.

>>2760951
Do you not see the breast?

>>2760826
Cute. Can't wait to see this done.

>>2761204

Is this correct?

Is /ic/ much slower than it used to be or is it just me?
>>2761637
Done, moving onto something else now. Trying out different ways of inking

>>2761426
I did. It's my first time in a while to visit that thread.

>>2761755
your proportions fell apart at the navel. how man heads was he meant to be, 7 or 8?

>>2761822
I noticed you >>2761637 moved the tip of foot away from the body a bit. I think it looks more dynamic if it were closer to the ankle, like it just got done jumping up

ditching it looks like shit.

golden proportion pentagram method anime face

lemme know if staring at it while drawing an anime face (especially if you dont draw anime normally) helps you out

to easily get a ready to use golden proportion, draw a pentagram and use the inner part of the pentagon and one side of the triangle as your a and b respectively. grab another sheet of paper and mark those lengths down, then you can use a,b and a+b for pleasing proportions. experiment with different size pentagrams in unison with another, which will yield small distances and large distances that are in the golden ratio.

Yamero anon! It looks good! Keep going! I want to see it finished!
I'm too late anyways.

>>2759950
No it's not that character. However I did look at the eyes before I thought the crosseyed-ness was a bit much so I'll mess with that another time. Thanks for the tip.

>>2762436
XJ9's looking a little too humanoid. If that's what you were going for, it's ok, but it looks like you took her head, dropped it on a regular body and put a bolt in her belly button.

>>2762436
This is an interesting combination. I like it. Don't get to see much art work of this character either.

>>2762436
xj9 nice

>>2762449
That's because that's exactly what it is. This was moreso anatomy practice, and I like to use characters I like for a "practice model" of sorts. I have also dabbled with my own kind of design of her with more "realistic" proportions than her original design for obvious reasons, so there's that.

tell me why this reads like shit as an icon
looks fine blown up (to me)

>>2762505
the composition is off. the eyes fall off the picture on the left side, try putting the focus more around the face/having the eyes a little more in the upper right corner. youll have to sacrifice a bit of the drawing, but it should read better after that

>>2762505
the types of brush you're using look like shit unless you're looking right at them in high res. try something that makes more defined clean strong strokes maybe?

>>2759675
It's cute but the only attention getters are the bird and the stoned prostitute, the characters and details on the right go unnoticed at first glance.

>>2761675
he is stagnating a bit a 'bit'

Did a doodle before going to bed, will attempt to continue tomorrow. btw I wonder if I'm ok enough to start a tumblr or dA?

can somebody tell me who nosebro is? Sry I don't keep up with these things..

>>2760507
Firez? that you, fucker?

>>2760540
hooooly shit, i could tell it was you without seeing those posts. it was easy because you haven't improved a bit

im using this shitty program to draw directly on my screen so forgive how it looks.

remember the knuckles never look like a straight line, they usually have a rhythm depending on what the arm is doing, look at your own arm and obser how depending on the twist of your wrist differnt muscles pull all the way from your elbow forcing the hand into a set range of motion, also her feet look like a block but I don't know if that's intended.

trying to work with silhouettes

>>2760368
that's hot
blog?

>>2761472
that's so good my only concern is that the legs isnt positioned properly with the chest region other then that its pretty good.

>>2759949
his left arm is super long isn't it?

>>2763509
Blog?

>>2761335
the colors seem a but muddy to me. also, the freckles look misplaced because the dots are very small, when the rest of the picture has large brushstrokes

just so he knows, licking a knife isn't very hygienic.

>>2763012
Got a blog? Really like your work.

>>2763012
Really great stuff, I always love your work, since it also fits into my niche. It's not a fetish, since I've never gotten off to your stuff or tried, but it's just fun to look at in my gallery. Do you usually draw stuff, leave it unfinished, and come back later, or do you work on things until they're done? I ask because I think I saw this one before.

any one got any tips or guides on how to use half tones?

>>2762505
only problem is the scarf to me, too similar to the mouth in hue and value, probably be cuter without it anyways

character design thing. Haven't quite gotten the pupils right yet

>>2764615
Do you masturbate to your own paintings? If yes, do you find yourself distracted whilst working on them because you find it arousing?

>>2764618
The feeling disappears when I'm trying to render it/fix technical issues

>>2761525
I know you have mentioned it before man but I forgot can I get your blog please? Your line weight keeps getting better and you have really pushed me into working harder at my own.

>>2764572
blog pls, you are amazing dude

>>2764624
This. Wanting to fap only happens when I'm looking for some references at first, once you're into it you're just too focused to care about anything.

How does one go about getting really thin line work like pic related?

>>2764753
Draw in very high resolution, resize when finished.

>>2764753
Just small brush.

>>2764759
I'm going to sound like a retard asking this but what does that do exactly? I thought high res was for things like making prints

>>2764779
anon meant to draw with a larger canvas.

>>2764779
No, you draw at high res as it'll make your lines more crisp. More pixels is your friend; don't be afraid to ask your computer to handle more--it was designed to be your bitch.

>>2764789
>>2764792
So what i am gathering from this is to use both a large canvas, resolution and small brush? I read some stuff about cranking your stabilizer up too but I'm not too sure about that. No rules just tools and all that but I don't want to become reliant on it

>>2764795

Large canvas because you can always scale/resize after. Bascially think of it has having a bigger than normal piece of paper where you can pick a spot and frame away.

Brush size is situational. When you resize the lines will get thinner and some overlapping mistakes will be less visible.

Use your stabilizer. Don't fall for bad advice that using it is a "crutch" it is there to help you and your hand for the tablet and your speed/style of drawing. As for the number to keep it on that is up to you because your hand is different from mine.

>>2764779
Are you retarded? It's always better to draw at high resolution.

>>2764795
Stabilize is unnecessary. Plenty of great artists does without it.

>>2762937
Fucked up the size of the head.

>>2764819
Also.

Does anything look awful so far?

>>2765058
can't see shit

>>2765067
Your monitor is probably very bably calibrated. You should look into it if you're doing digital.

>>2764819
I should really think about taking a look at a drawing on the tablet before posting it, the problems gets totally obvious. Also my fault for not bothering to check previous drawings as references for the head. Ended up modifying it a lot with liquefy, should be ok this time.

>>2765068
No my monitor is fine.

>>2765106
Here, friend.

https://www.photofriday.com/info/calibrate

>>2765109
I can see full range of value, your sketch I just can't see.

>>2765133
I can see just fine as well.

>>2765133
Do you realize that makes no sense? And it's not my sketch, I can see it just fine.

>>2765135
Makes perfect sense. Let's just drop it.

Finally got out of comfort zone and did some shading.

>>2764615
You're a big squid.

Where should I start the fixing?
How do I make it cute?

>>2765530
Try to make the face more rounder in shape. As of right now, it looks too pointy especially the cheekbone.

>>2759510
wow,do you have a tumblr?

demons are cute

>>2765530

generally "cute" faces means drawing childish features; small nose, big eyes, round cheeks, etc.

>>2765530
have a bigger forehead

I think I goofed it up.
It might be time to move on.

>>2765098
Yeah it looks better better/more like the concept.

>>2765666

ok try this first tho - smaller chin, smaller, lower mouth, rounder eyes. report back anon you can do this

>>2765666

>>2765686
Am I kawaii?

>>2765693

now the head is too small for the body

>>2765694
If I ever get a new drawing tablet I'll go about actually fixing it (my old one broke).
I just drew it to the side and shooped it over on paint.

>>2765697

no shame in drawing it traditionally and taking a pic of it. just make sure the lighting is good.

>>2765699
You can't really tell from the scans but its actually pretty muddy from erasing multiple times.
Or else I would actually re draw it on there.

>>2765702

lol yeah if the paper is damaged from erasing it may be time to scrap it. cute faces are ezpz tho, you will definitely get it if you practice a bit. just remember - small chin, nose, big eyes, cheeks, and forehead. good luck anon

>>2765672
you captured how I feel after every drawing attempt I ever make perfectly.

testing out new sketching brush, it's hard for me since i never had to maintain pressure control

How is this?

tried to emulate Range Murata's art but I feel like it's not right. Maybe it's the hair? Oh well.

Is it a good idea to fool around with other people's styles to challenge yourself or should you just do your own thing?

>>2759678
theres a difference between something you dont like and being unskilled you fucking austist

>>2766181
The top of the head looks caved in to me. And I think copying styles is a great idea, it makes you think about how other people achieved their results and gives you a greater range of techniques to draw on when you do your own original images.

>>2760012
I hate it

>>2764514
but its cozy scarf season senpai
i gave up and cropped half the pic off anyway

>>2764753
small brush, high res, & line confidence

>>2765303
avoid going past 80% dark, lines really mess up those values, apply local values to the bg, midground/fg objects just as you did with skin/hair/bikini

>>2765520
for you

>>2766181
I just read through some of his artbooks a few days ago. I think you did a good job emulating how he does skin. It seems like he practically pillow shades any skin that isn't boobs or butts. His hair normally isn't that ribbony; it's usually pretty textured and has stray strands. Her outfit is also way off. He puts a lot of detail and texture into his clothes to the point that the person wearing them looks overly simplified sometimes. His linework is never that thin and tight either.

>>2766181
another example

more practice

>>2762893
Its never too late to start those.

>>2766224

I can't find any work of his that is pillow shaded, are you sure you know what pillow shaded means?

Lieutenant Loli reporting for duty SIR!

>>2766284

>that square jaw

maybe drawing shota is more your thing?

>>2766282
By "practically pillow shades" I mean not exactly but having the same effect. The way he draws skin is very flat. There's little variation in value and he puts highlights right in the middle of limbs or on planes of the body that make no sense given how he's lit the clothes or even other parts of the body. Compare the way the values change on her left arm to her butt and the clothes around it >>2766226 or how the shadows in the hair and clothes in >>2766224 just don't happen on the faces.

I converted this picture to greyscale to emphasize my point. His skin is often much flatter and lit entirely differently than the rest of the picture, but he draws nice asses plenty of times so I'm pretty sure he's doing that to lead the eyes.

>>2766325

That's front lighting, not pillow shading. It's similar to what you would see with flash photography. I agree that it has a flat value range so I see the point you're trying to make but pillow shading is a inappropriate term to apply here.

>>2765801

>>2766325
>>2766337
The legs on left girl is pillowshading, never should you see shadows evenly distribute like that, it's jarring and confusing. Real life light does not distribute like on your body, due to the fact your body isn't symmetrically formed evenly.

>>2766338
Gimme dat blog

Just the under sketch, but I know I am failing hardcore as usual. I tried to take care to the feet balance this time, but I'm still fucking up. Help please? :(

>>2766387
The way you draw your heads seem to be a little too big for the body, making your characters look a little like bobble headed figures. But if that's your style I guess it's ok

>>2766397
The person I draw for wants everything in "chibi" or SD form. I kind of struggle with it, especially because they are requesting specific poses.

I get really envious of the kids on DA who can draw chibi perfectly, but can't do realism haha

>>2766402
>The person I draw for wants everything in "chibi" or SD form. I kind of struggle with it, especially because they are requesting specific poses.
The head should still not be bigger than the width of the shoulders in this case.

Struggling with foreshortening the thighs in this.

>>2766387
I really wish you would stop posting these inbreds.

could someone explain to me how anime jaws work?

If I try to make them sharp they look more square in the reference and if I try to square them a bit they look too square. I can't find the right way to do it

Just "finished" this commission a few hours ago.

I come back to the computer and realize how retarded and inconsistent my shadow placement really was.

Redoing it as I write, but does this happen often to anyone else? Draw and paint something, say "It's ok, I guess" and then return and be surprised by your own stupidity.

>>2766472
Can you post an example of what you've drawn so far?

>>2766495
imo the foreshortening in the hand is the most obvious issue

>>2766426
Maybe tweaking the perspective might help a bit. Check out this reference image:
https://glutenfreegirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Roman-men-on-a-bench.jpg

>>2766495
not really drawing anything but here's an example of the things I struggle with when I try to draw anime

like the angle where the straight line starts to go in the direction of the chin, is there a landmark for that kind of thing in stylized anatomy?

the other thing are pupils and eyelids but I think this one is far easier to understand

>>2760626
No, the other guy was right, loomis.

>>2766500

Haha, yeah, duly noted. It's another of those things were I have to keep practicing, but we're slowly getting there.

>>2766522
Well, taking away from the obvious (that there's a billion "anime styles" and so on), I noormally do it in the place you've marked, but I also draw the faces wider so it doesn't look as "sharp". I don't know, I don't really do much construction when I'm doing stylized stuff (which leads to stupid problems like pointed out above), it's more of a "if it looks good enough it works", but I chalk that attitude to my time doing comics.

>>2766495
>>>/beg/

>>2766495
Look at your drawing from your phone or tablet. It gives you a "fresh" view.

some boss designs for a game, advice welcome before i clean them up

>>2766654
whoops
/pic

>>2763046
blog faggot?

>>2766657
so you're making darksouls?

>>2766664
the designs definitely are inspired from some bosses from the series esp the middle guy. Do you think they're too close?

>>2766666
Not really. Darksouls covers a wide spectrum of enemy character types. Not to mention now that Darksouls series has ended and people will always be craving some souls inspired action, I think it would be a boon more than a hinderance.

>>2766666
nice quints

>>2766338
heyy thanks for the redline m8, do you mind telling me how to get that scanned-like look to the image. It looks really cool to me.

Lines

>>2766338
They both look pretty good to me t b h

>>2766787
>>2766796
This is really nice, love the moebius vibe and the general aesthetic which is nice and appealing. I think it would look nice if you hinted at some local colours/values though. Right now it seems a bit lifeless when you colour everything to be the same as though it's all made of stone. Even just glazing some more colours in there would be nice and also help with the storytelling.

>>2766828
brilliant recolour, looks great

>>2766657
>>2766666
I think I saw your stuff in the other stylization thread.

You seem to have a good sense of costuming, was it through a lot of just costume studies? Or just paying real close attention to vidya characters and such. What goes through your mind when drawing these guys (especially the costuming)?

It's all great stuff, anyway. I think an actual critique would say to use more grey/black/white to help differentiate materials from each other. Even in this rough stage, it's important to know how values lie on a character, just like value grouping in a composition. Look at any of Dean Cornwell's paintings and how he composes figures and utilizes black suits to frame faces and such.

If that didn't make sense, just think
Dark against Light against Dark.

Seriously, you'll be surprised how much of a difference it makes. It's weird at first, but from one anon to another, you just gotta trust it.

I just sort of consume a lot of media and save a lot of images of different costumes and different designs that I enjoy. I've got a huge reference folder. My process with something like this is starting with a pose and an overall body, then I lay on the clothes in large shapes with a focus on how the sillhouette will look with those shapes and then continue to define each piece of clothing, keeping in mind different layers adding decorations and things to enhance how the character looks and how their clothes reflect what they're supposed to do. With the character on the far right, I wanted his chest to show so that it would be easier to identify that he has 4 arms, so I started from there and decided to focus on his pants. A skirt would make him feel too egyptian, and long pants felt too Indian so I settled with the shorts and gave him a huge belt to split his torso from the short shape. I was also thinking about how the fight would go, and I wanted him to be quicker with a longer reach weapon so I chose to go with cloth since armor would probably impeded his ability to fight. I'll make sure to check out that guy ! Thanks for the suggestion

I really like your lines but your colours always seem a little bit unclear or unpure? something just doesn't look as clean or vibrant as it could.

I've butchered the mood you have going for the sake of contrast, mainly to give some sense of formlighting instead of all the meekly placed shadows. That and I have a strong preference toward clarity especially with the kind of lines you have. There are people that do make the looser style work like Tim Mcburnie and a number on zedigs inspiration blog so I imagine its a matter of making it work for you.

lookin naisu. Try using more varied line widths, right now it's looking pretty flat.
>>2766495
this happens to me all the time. It's one reason why its so important to allow yourself breaks while working. so that when you come back to it you can look at it with fresh eyes.
>>2766426
look up or take pictures of train car seats. Your characters have baby legs. There should be more space between their seat and the floor of the car.

>>2766387
>>2766402
anon you need to exaggerate the proportions more, and simplify your forms.

>>2763046
blog my dude

>>2766904
Wow, thank you!
I appreciate you explaining your process!

It probably just happens subconsciously in your brain while you're drawing, but sometimes it's nice to see what goes through other artists minds when making decisions.

Also, I'm not sure how well Dean will work for you, since idk how far you're going to take these. If you're keeping them line, check out Karl Kopinski, Spudonkey, David Finch.

May or may not help, but whatever (might help another anon). I'm sure you already have a bunch of artists you look at anyway.
Thanks again!

legs are giant and out of perspective
looks good from the stomach up tho

>>2766180
it's shit

-color palette all over the place
-folds on sleves makes no sense
-what are her legs even doing
-jesus those FEET
-that shitty transform effect on the throwing knives
-potato face
-what even is anatomy

>>2766828
>>2766909
Thank you for the kind words and taking time to actually make the pic look better, appreciate that!

I just sorta gave up on this drawing. I just wanted to get done with it, throw in some simple colour over the greyscale and some shade and just call it a day. Seeing the paintovers and positive feedback for it now kind of makes me want to give this picture some more drawing time...

But yeah, I see what you mean with the colours, could have done a better job there. Didn't really nail the "look" on this one, although I kinda liked the feel of subdued blues and some purple, so idk.

>>2766064
looks fine to me

>>2766929
7 heads tall tho? I see that the right leg is a bit thick but i'm not sure how they're too long

>>2766940
The perspective being off is why they are giant. Also you should probably work on your leg anatomy in general.

>>2766379
I don't have such a thing

Why not draw a zombie girl in a goth loli outfit instead?

> apply local values to the bg, midground/fg
What is the local values?

>>2767426
value of the object: actual value in context
local value: value of the object in standard lighting conditions.

so the local value of a black object is very dark, even if its value can be quite light, e.g. because it's under a spotlight

there's the same distinction with local color/color (e.g. a yellow field appear purple because of atmos persp)

I feel like it's lacking a focal point color-wise

>>2767466
Thanks.

>>2766930
Thank you.
So basically it's all shit. The legs really are fucked up, you probably can't even tell which one is right/left leg. I thought the folds on sleeves were decent.

But I can't make sense of what you mean by the color palette being all over the place. There aren't that many colors. Can you explain a little bit more what you meant by that?

>>2766338
>>2766813
Yeah both are good, if anything the left one has more personality and charm to it. Right one looks too standard.

circle yilx hentai doujin when?

>>2767556
what i meant is that their is no harmony between your selection of colors. it looks as though you were attempting to use a primarily yellow/green/blue color scheme but beyond that made no consideration over the saturation of your hues or of what the image looks like in grayscale. In the end your yellows and blues are muddy and gross looking, while your greens are over saturated, which clashes against the red tones in the characters skin/eyes. I'm not saying you should have made the character's skin totally yellow. But when you're picking colors to use you shouldn't just pick them based on what color you 'know' them to be, instead of considering the colors surrounding it and the ambient lighting. It looks as if you picked the red for her eyes purely based off the color wheel, instead of picking a color that is comparatively red/warm based on the rest of the colors in the image.

>>2766944
is this better anon

first time trying to colour

>>2767626
Dammit Cactaur!

small attempt at perspective

>>2767687

>>2767623
avoid using black for shading

feel free to point out mistakes because its just a stiff mess

I dig it, who are your inspirations?

>>2767698
i love how you did the legs

>>2763046
Come back you fucking bitch.

>>2766920
Is this any better? I know chibis usually have small feet, but he wants them large.

>>2767842
you're going in the right direction. My best advice for you is to look up guides on chibi proportions, and to keep practicing forms.
Go with what the commissioner wants anon. But it's my opinion that a chibi with large hands/feet isn't chibi, it's a disney dwarf.

>>2767804
blog? so cute

>>2766913
blog please? would love to buy pillow case some day if available

>>2767842
You should go to the beginner thread. I don't know if you're trolling or if you honestly can't see how amatuer your artwork looks, but listen to me now. It's cringe deviantart tier.

>>2767586
different anon here, that does look better, but i think its mostly the viewer side left leg is just much larger than the rest of his body. also i think yuri doesnt have such large hips but if you were trying to make him more womanly anyways then right on. Lovely image btw
