/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

>>2767867
anon from last thread, my blog is at alarniascribblesontablets.tumblr.com

Dunno when I'm gonna finish the pillow, it'll probably be a while cause I want it to be as polished as I can get it. but I'll put it up on redbubble when I do.

just a quick question, does anyone else feel that drawing is so up and down sometimes. Like sometimes, when I look at my work 1% of the time I'll think it looks ok, and about 99% of the time I'll think it looks so bad. It almost feels like a rollercoaster. Any advice on how to feel more of a stable feeling with my art? Instead of being so up and down.

>>2768024
I've felt this way too, for some reason whenever I use reference is when my art tends to look really nice.

>>2768024
Life is always like that, anon. You'll soon realize you hit rock bottom and become god constantly.

>>2768024
sometimes you draw bad, sometimes you draw decent, it's all part of the learning.

>>2768024
>>2768051
I've felt like this constantly. Using a ref for guidance, I feel like I go from a to b, feeling like I'm projecting my knowledge from anatomy training properly. But when I go "vanilla", I feel like I'm shitting out a turd most of the time.

>>2768052
OMG this I can relate to this sooooooooo much... Like you feel like you hit the veryyyyy bottom, and cannot simply be worse. AND THEN all of a sudden you feel like you're the BEST artist in the world.. Man I'm glad it's not only me haha

nicotine addiction and firearms are cute right

>>2768085
>nicotine addiction

Smokepussies are disgusting tbqph

>Firearms

Yeah

still wip but could I get some advice or a critique? I'd really appreciate it

>>2768121
resizing would be appreciated

>>2768123
my bad, is this any better?

>>2768130
smaller senpai, i like it though

>>2768130
most screens are at most 1920x1080.
so 1080 should be your height upper bound.
.png is a lossless format, so it has terrible file size, so you use that if you have a good reason. jpg is more than enough to get a crit on 4chan.
the time spent on telling you that is time I won't spend on crit this drawing.

comments/crits welcome

>>2768136
thats still helpful though, thanks

>>2768136
>.png is a lossless format, so it has terrible file size, so you use that if you have a good reason. jpg is more than enough to get a crit on 4chan.
fuck that, some of use come here to safe the work of anons we like too

>>2768178
like fuck we're supposed to care about that.
read OP
>Submit your drawings, receive feedback or critique others!
if you want high quality get on their blog.
there are two threads on the board that are supposed to be useful. two. just do whatever you want elsewhere, but keep these useful.
png takes a matter of seconds to load

>>2768149
since your nice, here's some crit:
needs more loomis.
body doesn't seem properly aligned, either with right shoulder or neck area.
same thing with the face. just look at the angle that glasses should have at the corner of the eye; here it seems to follow the face curve, which flattens the whole.
colors are rather nice, needs a bit more hue variation, especially skin areas.

>>2767968
How do you go about stylized drawings? Did you ever deliberately studied other artists to see their approach and learn from it? Is it a good idea to study other artists for stylisation?

I'm torn between "style comes natural, just practice the human figure and experiment" and "stylistic choices should be made consciously and why re-invent if you can steal"

I've never deliberately practiced cartoony styles but my innate style seems to be influenced by some anime/ cartoons I like. That being said, I don't like my style. I started just drawing cartoons and then switching to only doing studies. When I go back to cartoons they look better than they did before studying, but I seem to make a lot of the same mistakes I did before, falling into some comfort zone.

What would you guys suggest? Any input is really appreciated.

>>2768195
If you don't like your style just try to draw as realistic as possible. The more you learn about anatomy gesture and values the more options you have for stylization on purpose.

Your issue with your style is that it is not a style by choice but by not being informed or experienced enough to start making those as conscious decisions based in reality.

So just practice a lot and you'll start to figure it out and find your real style. Gotta learn the rules by heart before you can break them with imagination.

Is this okay looking or should I just give up entirely on doodles?

thanks for the help on my last post, guys

I can slowly feel my sanity slipping so I'm heading to bed, but here's another wip

>>2768136
>most screens are at most 1920x1080.
Yes, but you shouldn't have a problem with that when 4chan can rescale it itself, if you have 4chan X, which I thought quite a lot of people already have. If not the case, maybe OP needs to point that out in that case, I've seen other threads mention a "Images should be rescaled to 1000 pixels!" so people like yourself wouldn't have to (quite frankly) bitch about not seeing the whole image on your screen when you click the thumbnail. It's no surprise people like that other anon wouldn't know about that when it's not pointed out in the OP.
>.png is a lossless format, so it has terrible file size, so you use that if you have a good reason. jpg is more than enough to get a crit on 4chan.
Although you have somewhat of a point, you seriously must be poor ass if you can't get a picture at 3MB or less to load up on your computer, or in my suspicion, your shitty phone. Even my phone can load images in this thread up just fine, so you better have a good reason yourself to project this claim to post JPEG over PNG in (current year). Other than it's just a crit image instead a "public/finished" version, but that's a subjective decision for the artist to decide upon.

>>2768342
my main screen is 2560x1440 dumb fuck.
I don't have a smartphone you double dumb fuck.
I use 4chanx but plan for those who don't you triple dumb fuck.
connection is fairly bad so 3mb images take a matter of seconds to load.
living in a first-world country.
In many countries only big cities have really decent connections, so it's not just two people who have the problem.

why do you need to assume things? and why would I lie about that seriously?

draw thread always have the rescale warning, most threads about posting work do, but you're right, this thread doesn't.

sometimes I don't feel like waiting with the pointer above the image for a while to be able to give a crit.
so I said that in his interest, so that nobody skips him for a stupid reason.
I'm far from being the only one, complaints about resize are frequent.

frankly, hit the poster up if you want a better quality version, it's not the purpose here.

>>2768146
I love how archaic this feels, but the character is a bit of a tough read. Maybe try and push the dark values to make shapes more distinct, contrast, etc.

>>2768347
>connection is fairly bad so 3mb images take a matter of seconds to load.
>Wow, 3 secs is too much. All that time wasted I could have made my thoughtful critique with that amount of time. Whoa is me.
I can reason with the "better quality version", but I said "but that's a subjective decision for the artist to decide upon" for a reason. I'm not asking for a full version, but not everyone posting in this thread is going to post a resized image. Especially when the OP doesn't point it out. I hope OP does so next thread, so less of these post about "how to post your images" bumps the thread instead of images for crits. I'll just drop it from here.

>>2768245
Hands too big and shadows that kinda make no sense, other than that i dig it.

I love headwings but how the fuck do you draw those

what is the loomis or vilppu of weeb art?

>>2768454
You have more issues to be worrying about that just headwings.

>muh style!

Read the sticky.

>>2768460
damn what a burn! I'll never draw for fun again because I make mistakes

>>2768024
all the time anon. I've come to accept that my art will only ever be as good as it is meant to be at any particular moment, considering the conditions surrounding (physical and mental). There will be good days and bad days, but on average know that if you keep working at something you will continue to grow as a result. Something that I've found cathartic is: whenever you're struggling with a piece of art, think back to some work you've done in the past that you felt you struggled with as well. Try digging up those img files from your PC or blog. Like something from a year ago. Compare them. If you've been practicing daily like you should, the difference will be obvious.

>>2768463
With that attitude, I sincerely agree.

>>2768085
only when done right

>>2768245
I can appreciate the noodly feel you're going for here, but jesus their right arm/hand needs to be fixed

>>2768466
I know what my issues are but I want to fail and try and still have fun, so I felt your assumption I'm hiding behind style irks me. In fact that sketch was me trying to stylize to my tastes while making things still look right and also push boondaries because I'm actually bad at drawing perspectives and even simple poses. Still I want to enjoy drawing when I make obvious mistakes.

>>2768479
Blog about it.

I don't do weeb stuff very much, I basically copied some expressions out of Overlord. Any tips, specific or general, for good expressiveness? Or do I just need more Loomis?

>>2768522
umm idk what to tell you m8

>>2768484
>>2768466
>>2768460
Not the guy you where replying to, but sincerely kill yourself. Your the reason why no one that comes here fucking gets any better or anyone with any talent sticks around for more than 5 seconds at a time. Answer me this, are (You) doing it for the replies or are (You) just some notgonnamakeit faggot overwrought with jealousy only here?

>>2768454
Real crit here, study foreshortened faces at various angles, because right now it looks like she has no chin and her entire face seems located too far right on her skull, due to where the hair is place and where the chin would be in relation to the neck. Always construct your heads with guide lines and pack some reference. I would red line it but I'm not near my tablet.

>>2768522
more loomis.
Naa seriourly, what you need is study the construction of the face, see real faces and how they work, that way you will think better how to put the things in their place. If you just copy the faces in 2d you don't learn to think, then when you need to draw some specific expression you can't do it without having to use a reference.
Then when you understand that (actually is build 3d forms) you can use whatever the style you want.
Sees faces at different angles and builds the general masses

>>2768561

Thanks for your suggestions. I'm curious if there are any points in particular where you feel my construction was lacking in the images?
I have studied construction (though I'm far from perfecting it of course) and while the construction lines of my lay-in are a little hard to see in the image I posted, I did attempt it.

I find with imagination drawing I still struggle with the 'language' of stylized drawings, which is why at the moment I'm copying a lot for now. Even if I constructed a face traditionally I would still struggle to stylize it well, and it usually comes off as stiff, boring and unexpressive.

>>2768352
thanks anon. good call

>>2768552
>Real crit here

You are wasting effort in trying to provide constructive criticism and feedback; as Anon said they're drawing "for fun" and they're clearly not serious about seeking improvement hence my approach towards said Anon. They're more worried about head wings than anything else - more over it seems they where more worried about posting to get attention and views than actually attempting to get out of their comfort zone.

After it's all said and done, read the sticky. Work on fundamentals. Draw from life. Loomis.

>>2768552
>Real crit here
>misses the most glaring issues and focuses on nonexistent ones
You can't even redline it, but I'm not going to point it out because you're a fucking baby. Keep being shit

>>2768637
>you're a fucking baby

This is what happens when you start going soft on these faggots, they start playing assgrab with each other and commiserate one another starting a hugbox environment.

>>2768552
Thanks for the criticism, that's exactly what I have trouble with, so I'll rework that and keep doing my loomis

>>2768468

>>2768637
It was a fast crit, and I assume the other shit is stylized choices faggot. So tell mr.grownman artistman, What else did he get wrong? Got enough (You)s, or are you gonna provide some crit?

>>2768645

I just told you I'm not going to bother because you're a moron who deserves to stay ignorant. If you still can't figure it out you really are shit and it's hilarious that the other guy is taking your advice, the blind leading the blind.

>>2768777
i love this I love you

>>2768845
>the blind leading the blind.

He says without an ounce of irony while he basically admits he has nothing of value to say.

>>2768845
Why are you here then? Your literally shitposting. Give some constructive feedback or fuck off. No one gives a shit if you believe someone to be deserving of anything

>>2768892
Just ignore him. He's proably in his 40's and mad that younger people are better than him.

>>2768898
that is not really the problem, its how do people like this don't get banned or anything. I know enforcing rules like that could get out of control, eventually creating a hugbox, but this place would be a hell of alot better if faggots like this wouldn't run anyone off with any sort of talent. Like someone posted pic related a couple mont ago got shitted on with something along the lines of "You never accept critiques, you need loomis faggot."

>>2768898
Bro don't hate on old people. Most of us are chill and get way less rowdy as we age.

But you young sons of bitches though. No manners, shitty upbringings, and your dicks and cunts are glued to social media and showing yourself off 24/7.

>>2768911
That pic doesn't look too bad. Why would people shit on it?

>>2768911
>BAN THINGS I DON'T LIKE, MAKE EVERYONE NICE
Just fuck off to tumblr

>>2768924
By being nice, it just means not acting like an angry faggot.

>>2768927
You realize that is completely subjective? It boils down to "ban things that hurts my feelings". You are tumblr tier special snowflake cancer, why are you even here if you're bothered by the bluntness that anonymity affords people?

>>2768460

>stylization thread
>gets mad when people post stylized work

moka

I'm liking most of it but absolutely hate her left arm and am beggining to doubt the leg placement.
Send help pls.
>>2768195
Style is either an accumulation of mistakes and shortcuts you don't care enough (or want) to correct, or deliberate visual communication.
Both are viable but of course the later is most likely to be what you actually want from your drawing because it's designed rather than accidental. Read about semiotics, visual language and character design. All of that can be applied to designing your own canons to work from.

Thoughts?

>>2768936

Personally I don't think people should be banned because I'm not big on censorship, but there are plenty of faggots on this board who could stand to realize that shit-flinging isn't critique and providing critique without being a complete cunt for no reason isn't a hugbox.

A lot of people mistake telling you to take your shitty non-critique stuffed with abuse and shove it up your ass as "can't take critique" or "wanting a hugbox" when really people are just sick of the same tired "preface my tirade of self-affirming shit-talk with a useless general statement like 'Loomis' so I can convince myself I'm actually critiquing their work."

The number of people who mistake being a useless asshole who flings insults as being "brutally honest" or that they're doing a person a favor by "breaking their ego" is astonishing.

>>2769085
take a break and come back later, look at it with fresh eyes, look up references. Either her arms are a little short or her torso is little long. Your right the legs aren't making a lot of sense. again, use reference.

trolls get out, anons please this is a critique thread.

>>2769024

>>2769024
The clothes, body, and hair all look alright to me, but the face.. The face, I'm not sure maybe it's the eyes.. makes her face look too old. Also try readjusting the placement of her chin, and the jawline. Apart from that good work.

>>2768187

It might just be me but I think the entire head/neck is too far over to her left shoulder and should be just a bit more centered. That and something about the face feels off (not necessarily wrong though).

I like the tumblr cartoon look with the semi-realistic shading and oil brush texture, proportions are off if that's the size of his head but I think I'm just assuming things, keep at it... and link me the brush.

>>2769810
Uh not me.

>>2769736
there isn't really a problem with the legs, it's more that the pose is off balance, and it doesn't either correspond to a guard position nor an intermediiary stance that you'd take in a fight.

Check the neck of the guy on the right.

How do you get that very nice transition from from shade to main color? It's so very nice.

>>2769704
did you already post your blog?
your stuff is infectious. I'd live to see a world around that.

>>2769346
I don't know what it is but something always throws me off with your drawings, it might be the flat face that mismatches the rest of the drawing or the shoujo huge eye+eyelash combination that I dislike
I don't know, the drawing itself is really neat and clean but it doesn't please me

better, sword is fucked up still. grip has knuckles towards viewer, so the sword should be parallel to the grip. it looks like it's curving up towards her left shoulder

>>2770209
It is a curved sword. The hilt is not right at all because I can't find fucking reference of a cavalry sabre hilt/guard in that angle but the blade I referenced and should be right.

>>2770223
Then her hand is fucked up, it doesn't matter which you fix, you have two mismatching elements.

>>2770201
Square off her ribcage using the landmarks as corners, it's completely fucked.

>>2770228
Yes, I referenced the blade and like it, the hilt and hand are wrong and am searching reference to fix that. The hand just needs a bit of a twist but I'd be pissed if I find the perfect reference for hilt-placement to go with my blade and then have to remake the hand again because it's slightly off.
>>2770261

>>2770397
did you mean to put the eyes so far apart?
ears aren't even and look weird coming out of the eyes.

difficult to make any other crits cause its just a face and you're obviously not aiming for anything realistic.

Do you have a blog? I like your sketches.

>>2767988
Kahl?

>>2770397
look man, meant to tell you this from the first time I saw your art but didn't cuz too lazy to comment

the far away eyes do work, but the problem is the ears are not put too farther apart to compensate for the eyes. What I am trying to say is to leave some space between your eyes and ears

>>2770360
such EROS

>>2770025
some peoples computers arent strong enough to run Photoshop in the first place. i personally liked the unlimited space to sketch, eliminates the process of resizing shit if you're lazy about it.

>>2770360
Best one in the thread.

>>2770201
>>2770209
>>2770228
Fixed the hilt and hand and now the blade is shit.
Sabres are held in a pistol-grip, so the furthest beam in the guard (in brown) would nearly align with her proximal/medial joint. Brown and blue circles are the sword's x and y planes, red line is the blade's "floor", green's the blade's max lenght.

How the fuck do I draw a good looking curved blade from here? I've tried a bunch of different curves and it doesn't translate well. Could you call me a retard and redline this easy geometry problem for me sempai? I feel like I lose a neuron every time I try this.

>>2770668
I think the sword looks good. Her posture is a bit off

Could someone help me with the anatomy in this paintover? I want to make it as accurate to the source as possible but I can't find many refs that hep with particularly the guy on top's position specifically to help with the arm extended behind his head and his upper torso, so please don't suggest positional changes. Preferably if possible if whoever redlines could draw the specific muscles that I've done incorrectly so I can see how they work in these figures. Thanks in advance.

>>2771133
Use reference

>>2771190
You should definitely study anatomy more. And use references. This is an easy type of pose to get a reference for. Get TimerCam on your phone and just take a picture of yourself in the same pose as the picture. Study the shoulder/shapes and figure out what you did wrong.

Look up professional poledancing videos? Or use a program like design doll. Chris' ribcage/collar area is pretty messed up, but it's messed up in the source image too so thats understandable

>>2770755
Is this sarcasm?

I need to find out the chink secret to cuteness

>>2768245
shadows are a bigger issue than the hands imo

>>2771456
Larger, rounder eyes is always the cutest thing in chink shit. Giving her a smile helps too :)

>>2771682
something is off with that chin

>>2768777
What brush are you using?
I really don't know how to bring that kind of texture in SAI.

>>2771755

>>2771456

>>2771757
Thanks.

>>2769895
How's this? I changed the face shape a bit.

>>2771808

tyrel?

>>2771500
She has a tiny head

>>2771811
im def underselling some of these styles

>>2771866
I'm not seeing much change other than the eyes.

>>2771808
It's cute but still off
These for example, while very simple, has an appealing flow to them

some guys

>>2771456
anon don't put off drawing legs.

The last time I was here an honest anon told me to get out of my comfort zone. I'm sorry I failed you.

>>2772036
pretty cute

>>2772036
careful with that chin, you're gonna gouge someone's eye out.

>>2771863
turtleneck is hiding a long neck too

>>2771966
that art looks familiar, I just can't put my finger on the artist though.

>>2771682
facial features are out of alignment/different planes of perspective

>>2771769
thanks for posting this, I feel like i knew this on some intuitive level, but i've never seen it put on paper before.
>>2771808
this is better. I think what the other anon was getting at is that you seem to draw faces like they're a flat surface, and that your eyes are equally flat, but really, even in anime, when its draw well there is some suggestion of depth, that the eyes are located within a socket, not just stickers on a spherical shape. This is a pretty damn subtle effect in some scenarios though.

>>2772036
You could chop wood with that face

>>2772252
I don't know either but reminds me of sayonara zetsubou sensei's style

>>2771682
Facial features are curved slightly too counterclockwise for that skull/neck orientation.
This'll happen if you don't use a lot of construction, or until you get really good at visualizing the shapes.

>>2772256
>>2772036

>rounder, softer heads are more "adorable" than squarish heads.

well fuck you then i disagree

>>2772046
>>2772046
I actually already shortened the neck a bit but I guess its still off hm.

Alright, I've finally scraped enough time together to add in another figure, thoughts on this work in progress? I'm going to have a girl's bedroom setting, but I've no idea if that's a good choice.

>>2770937
Holy shit, Shirokuma Cafe fan art, 11/10 anon love it.

It's been a while - copied some Pinterest stuff to warm up

>>2772404
pretty cute anon. blog?

>>2772633
Stylization already makes it difficult for people to practice anatomy, perspective, form, and consistent work. I advise you try copying at least anime figurines, if not real people. Those legs are inhumanly long, but probably justifiable due to style, so this is probably just my bias towards more correct figures.

>>2772649
Fair enough, I was hitting the comfort zone to try and gain some momentum, but I'm feeling pretty lazy so I'll try again another day.

>>2772664
No worries! So, any earlier work to show?

>>2772666
I was trying to color an ink from about a month ago, but I just couldn't converge on the colors so I just gave up. I've been in a bit of a sour mood recently...

sorta empty expect more soon

>>2772676
Nice desu ne. So, you're dissatisfied with the neon colors? I think the bright purple is too much next to the orange, so try a deeper blue than used for the gun if that's your concern.

>>2772633
You're using fashion croqui proportions and that's absolutely okay. Just make sure to not bend the legs so much that it detracts from the form and makes them the focus.

>>2769999

ceebee uses mypaint and he's a fucking old god

>>2772016
I like the legless guy. would hug

>>2772720
it's 2016

>>2772633
M-marker bro, is that you? I thought you left us!

Sketching, trying to draw more shojo/josei guys.

>>2772256
>this is better. I think what the other anon was getting at is that you seem to draw faces like they're a flat surface...
I understand, I'm trying to improve by referencing both real people and the artists who influence the way I draw but sometimes the "rules" of that style clash with realism, so it's hard to tell how much of it is "style" and how much of it is just me failing to execute things correctly.

>>2772720
Where can I find ceebee art work?

>>2772016
that legless guy's cute.

>>2772633
fuck these are awesome. #9 especially, i want to use that.

>>2769278
ye, its a study of attall's

>>2771755
basic round brush with 90% minimum diameter and pen pressure set to flow and opacity

It's photoshop btw, not sai

>>2771239
that's actually a good idea, thanks anon.

>>2772564
thanks!

>>2771297
no it isnt, i want to learn construction cuz my drawings are shit

Left or right?

>>2773213
guy looks better on left. girl looks better on the right. you have potential anon.

>>2773213
left

>>2772902

>>2773013
nice. blog?

>>2773279
In actuality nobody measures by counting heads. Your crit is almost useless.

>>2773213
what type of feeling for the people are you going for? to me, the guy on the left looks a bit... menacing, or arrogant in a way. still, its hard to tell since its just a rough sketch. i like the right more. hope to see it when progress is made :)

gonna try to draw pic related in every movement style

first is renaissance

>>2773326
Stop while you're ahead.

I want him to look a bit smug.
I chose left since there was a majority for left.
>>2773269
>>2773250

apologies in advance if anybody is triggered by line quality, I'm still struggling with my arm.

>>2773469
I'm not particularly getting smug from his expression. Typically smugness requires the smugger to be looking at someone judgingly. He's got the smirk, maybe he could furrow his brow a bit and his gaze cast down at the viewer.

I drew an eevee

>>2773310
Why? I think he had some good points.

>>2773550
Furshit is bae. Tumblr/Steam?

>>2773550
(repostin'.) Pokefaggotry's my jam. Tumblr/Steam?

>>2773521
maybe super confident is more what I'm trying to say?
I'll may tweak the expression in the future.

>>2773550
looks yummy

That illustration was made by Mintchoco:
http://mmn2.tumblr.com/

Unfortunately, she has a Encyclopedia Dramatica article too:
https://encyclopediadramatica.se/Mintchoco

>>2773604
Hey thanks, I read the dramatica article, and damn that's really sad, but somehow motivates me to get better at drawing in a weird way... like some people try so hard to get views by being so nice to everyone, but never get anything in return, but this person can afford to be a dick, but at the same time also have people dying to still see her works through making multiple accounts.. It's kinda like the poor get poorer, and the rich only get richer kind of theory. Just my opinion though. It's just kind of sad, how some people try soo hard, but this person is literally a dick by blocking everyone, but it doesn't matter cause she has her good art to fall back on, kind of like being really rude to your teacher, and classmates, but still getting 100% on your tests, just because your that good, and the person that's so nice to their teachers get 30-40% just because they aren't "as good". Hmmm.. Life isn't fair sometimes, well I'm sure she's probably struggled getting to that point in drawing, so I guess that kinda evens it out. I guess what I'm trying to say is that drawing good is what matters most.

>>2773557
>>2773561
Sorry, I want to remain anon

Is or isn't my dude's vibe a dug one?

You're a piece of shit. You should get banned for saying you had advice you're unwilling to give people to improve, which makes you offtopic and a retarded ass spammer. kys

>>2773747
its good

>>2773747
Why do at least 3 people on here have similar style? Are you all from /jp/ or is it one person?

something else

>>2773798
yeah

>>2773428
I do, but I haven't used it for a few months, so. Nothings updated, I've been doing trainings and studies since then.

>>2773747
>>2773754
Really got any links? First time I've seen this style and it's pretty cool.

>>2773873

>>2773213
The dog(?) looks out of perspective, at least judging by the leg placement of the guy.

>>2773279
holy fuck you measured a head that was tilted. youre doing it from the hypotenuse and youre including the hair.


finally you 0p'd it

kill yourself

>>2773977

andrae0 I think.

last for today

>>2774115
Redlines have been pretty shitty lately, I don't want to be rude, you try and we appreciate it. But we're all in the same boat and redlining stylized work requires specially experienced eyes because we're all working with different canons.

>>2773326
That looks nothing like the "renasansu" you weebo.

>>2774114
yes it is.
it's a placeholder from a previous drawing.
but I think I'll have to cheat with the pers at least a bit, otherwise there would be too much distortion.

>>2774130
thanks man

>>2774068
I quite like this, the face reminds me of Lara Hikaru. My only issue with this is I think you could made her hips a bit wider and "more toned", they look too small for her upper body proportions imo.

>>2768942
underappreciated

I won't be able to do more with this for like the next 2 days, so I'm done with this.

>>2770419
Kahl's better than that.

>>2773469
smugness usually means that eyes are a bit more covered, relaxed, and a smirk does wonders

>>2774701
In my absolute honest opinion... I think you should focus on the fundamentals for now before stylizing, you need to understand how proportions work before you can morph them in a cohesive manner.

>>2774823
or as anon suggested, just make him look down at the viewer

Can I ask for a redline on this?

I memed. Is this acceptable?

>>2774835
Blog?

>>2774835
Very nitpicky but the stage-right eye looks a smidge too small my nigga, you have the right idea because her face is turned away slightly, but all the same consider increasing the overall size by like 5-10% and dropping it a couple pixels down. At that point it should still be noticeably "smaller", but as-is it seems just a bit overdone, in my opinion. Also, assuming that's a glove and not a construction line of some sort you're going to erase later, be mindful of the tangent where the bottom of the breast recedes into the contour of the elbow. In the case of her leg nearest to the viewer I feel like her calf muscle or "soleus" or whatever it's called should push back against her thigh to break up what otherwise appears to be one big cylindrical, hotdog-like form.

It's a solid drawing though. Clean, pretty, and with big ol' tiddy like all good animes should be. Keep it up!

>>2774835
yo, i havent seen your art in forever! how goes the tired eyed, gentle femdom, mom?

donut steel character desing

>>2773279
I see what you're saying, but I did purposefully elongate the proportions of the guy I was referencing for that shoujo/josei style. I fixed the sleeve so the foreshortening would convey a bit better but I think I'll leave it at that since it was just a sketch.

>>2774823
what? at first I thought it was a joke.
looks totally perv, partly because of the feminine eyes
it's pretty neat how you got such nice looking lines at such low res
>>2774832
I like this one

thanks both

>>2774882
>>>/v/

>>2774952
This is very insightful, thank you anon.
I'll put them to good use.

>>2774998
I think you've mistaken me for another.
This is like the second drawing I've posted on /ic/, I don't post here very much.

>>2770201
delete face

>>2774835
It's cute but I feel like her head wouldn't be able to turn that far back comfortably. I would change it to more of a side profile personally.

>>2774881
It's a really niche joke but it's cute. You need loomis in ur life famb.

>>2775061
Haha both done by same person actually. The first I only lowered the eyelids, thats why you might think it looks "feminine"

>>2775093
damn i wish to be able to sketch like that one day

>>2775152
I was wondering.
you don't find you're first edit a bit weird?
thanks to take time to do that work for me btw!
