wow nice shitty op again fucking retards

>>3195527
why is this shit in the op it doesnt even look finished

>>3195527
kill yourself

It is undeniably shit, but something about it is oddly cute.

maybe its all the pink, idk.

but still kill yourself op.

can we like post and crit artwork not complain about the op pic

>>3195542
I drew a thing yesterday, and there's 1 line thats obviously really bad but I'm too lazy to fix it. what should I do.

>>3195527
>That fucking arm
Lmao

>>3195538
>>3195539
>>3195540
>>3195541
What the fuck is this autism. Upset that you're not in the op? Who gives a shit

>>3195527
you know on second thought i wish chiccolate would be doing the threads again

>>3195549
>implying I actually draw here
I just believe for purposes of /ic/ we should have images we should be aspiring toward in the OP.

Is copying the best way to learn how to draw animu? Because I have a decent grasp on my fundamentals and can do realistic stuff alright, but anime is a lot harder - makes me wonder is the people who learn it just copied a ton and internalized it that way

Boop

>>3195561
Another one. Anime was created by copying. That one guy copied Betty Boop, and everyone has been copying from everyone since then

Image is rough cause I just uploaded it straight to my computer from my sketchbook. Any glaring issues here? Been a while since I did a frontal anime girl head.

>>3195590
Cross eyed and manly neck/body

>>3195598
Damn didn't even notice the cross eyes. Is the neck too thick? Also there's not supposed to be any body below the collar but the scan kinda made it look weird. I'll get to that regardless, though.

>>3195009

>>3195717
Her left eye is really bothering me.

>>3195718
In which way? It was too offset in the last one so I brought it closer to the frontal plane and made it smaller

>>3195722
I'm not entirely sure desu, just something about it bugs me. I think you just need to add a bit more depth maybe? Or maybe its the angle of the lid.

>>3195718
>>3195722
>>3195730
It's her eye brow. It's different than the right one making it asymmetrical.

>>3195735
I assumed she was squinting 1 eye, the awkwardness was outside that.
or maybe its that her right eye isn't squinting hard enough given the eyebrown squint.

>>3195590
Wow, this turned out better than expected for the first time in my life.

>>3195883
good stuff anon I like it too

>>3195621
love these, the proportions are so cute, would definitely fap to a comic

>>3195895
O.O why thank you. I have a few comic ideas bumping around in my head, so maybe soon.

>>3195570
ew

>>3195570
I don't know if it's from the downsizing artifacting the lines to make them smoother, but this looks significantly better than the pixel brush work.

>>3195621
blog?

nice drawing OP, could you post some more?

Just did this, how can I improve it?

>>3196019
She's going to make it and you can't do anything about it. Just help her by giving her advice already.

>>3195730
>>3195735
>>3195738
I think I will postpone it, I might find other fuck upset. Thanks for the remarks!

this is super early but feel free to let me know if something can be fixed/improving before advancing further

>>3195829
I really like the composition here. Maybe try to tone down that ear, it sticks out due to its design and also because the highlight and mid tone values should not be that clear considering the direction of the light

>>3196067
don't get baited by this retard.

how does one improve on drawing faces?

I'm pretty bad at drawing and recently, I bite the bullet and tried struggling to draw better by drawing poses and studies While I think the general construction of bodies seems to have improved, progress on drawing faces seems to have stagnated as i still find drawing nice faces challenging

care to leave advices on improving facial drawing?

>>3196090
unironically loomis.
his facial construction method can be easily applied to anime with a little modifications

idk

>>3196090
Copy other artists you like. Then you know how they did it and just copy the same principle on your own.

Sup

>>3196175
WOW, can i have your artstation, please.

>>3196094

>>3196175
kek

>>3196063
Give her an ear, dude. Bitches love ears!

>>3196086
yeah sorry i couldn't help more anon.
something about it bugged me but i couldn't put my finger on it, was hoping someone else would get called to it attention.
otherwise its great, good luck

sketch drop uwu

>>3196184
Sure, why not, just type in ' zaasd ' in search there.

>>3196207
https://www.artstation.com/zaasd - this is you?

>>3196217
Well, obviously yes

I'm starting to make my own manga.
What is the size they use in ?
I have a sketch pad that is 9" x 12".
Is this fine ?

>>3196222
the bad thing about doing it on 9x12 is that usual scanners can't scan it fully, unless you have access to those very expensive large ones.

>>3196230
I saw some of our students went to our school with a scanner and scanned their manga with the same size as my sketch pad. I guess it's fine then ?
If you're asking about them I saw their art it's bad it's similar to manhwa so I didn't talk really talk to them plus I'm too beta to do actually approach strangers.

>>3196206
why the fuck you keep drawing the ear so high ? it looks ugly as fuck and its not even well drawn and the shoulders area is deformed lol , and the hair needs some work too it looks stiff af. gambatte anon

>>3196051
the bottom left are futas

>>3196259
Futanari have vaginas as well

>>3196206
Sasuga senpai

>>3196206

Don't push those ears so much and the tip of the ears should be about the same as eyebrow and the tip of nose

>>3196266
blog!?

>>3196206
hang yourself

>>3196263
well, not the way i draw them sonny.

>>3196308
Then it's not futanari

>>3196310
they have tits tho

>>3195527
I dont know how to resize on cellphone, but comments or critiques?

Drew me a robut
Ignore the cursor

>>3196319

The face is bit too flat, practice more rendering and do some water drop studies, cause tear doesn't go like that (in this case it gives even more flatter effect)

>>3196344
I can see. the tear drop really dont go with the form and i overlook that, but what else in the face is flat and what and where need more rendering? I did not get that.

>>3196321
>robot girl
It's like you're trying to draw just for me Anon. Blog?

>>3196353
Mostly the part behind the nose, shadows are the same as in the front, even thought it is farther. The farther part of face should be bit (not much) darker to flesh out the face and to make it appear rounder

(adding one of my shadow studies, before someone asks to show my work)

>>3196359
Just because is father it need to be darker? I disagree. She is on a difuse light squeme and the light is mostly coming from above, makes no sense to make her left side darker. Like, i could change the lighting, but it would not make the paint more correct, maybe more appealing to you?

>>3196388

I'm saying little bit (very very little) or bit more defined shadows, which show where the light is coming from and to flesh her out.

Thought now that I flipped it, the one detail which makes painting bit off may be the farther eye.

>>3196394
I see, thanks for the critique!

>alternative styles
>everything anime manga

Wtf

RJ

>>3196436
Its 4chan, what did you expect?

>>3196438
Everything is cool and has that nice doodly style, but hand area is bit too messy and goes beyond doodly to sketchy.

>>3196442
I'll pay more attention to that part as I render it, hope I can keep the overall feel though

how do I draw shoes ic

I can only really draw flat on the table my computer is on. Is drawing at an angle any better or something.

>>3196490

Better question what happened to her calves?

>>3196493
Not the artist but
Shortstack?!

>>3196490
draw the silhouette of the shoe > divide it into shapes > slowly add the forms you want > detail

>>3196507
thx, this looks better I think

>>3196518
actually the legs look odd but I can fix

>>3196094
>idk
you sure dont

>>3195977
lol i was already following u, love ur style!

>>3196206
please give us another autistic rant dentist-kun
i know you only learn about teeth in that university of toronto of yours but i feel like that isnt an excuse to fuck up the entire rest of the anatomy :^(
also this is highly offensive to people who actually have an ear attached to their eye so maybe you should stop being so insensitive.

>>3196319
hey there anon! i did a little overpaint because i wasnt sure how else to really explain my criticism. im sure someone else would do a better job, but i hope it serves its purpose.
heres the things that i noticed: the eyes arent lining up, the face is a little too squished imo, the ear kinda comes out of the cheek, the chin and lips are a little too far on the left, i found the head a little too big in general too

i notice you often draw the same hairstyle, is it a comfort zone thing or is it just a hairstyle you like a lot?
you have really cool colours going on with the little drops of green, blue and pink. i think it has a nice aura to it. keep it up anon. obviously i lost some of your colours/rendering in the overpaint, but i mostly did it because of the proportions.

>>3196609
I think you should have fixed the far eye to wrap around more instead of changing the tilt of the face.

>>3196200
That is a relief, thanks again anon.

This is a bit raw but anyway...

>>3196609

You made it worst...

>>3195977
I really like this style. Where you do draw your inspiration from?

>>3196609
Thanks for take ur time. About the hairstyle is both, and is still really hard to me to render it, becoming this mess. You said about the ear and i agree, maybe drag it a little bit to left. But i really didnt like ur changes in her apparence, she doesnt look sick or weak anymore, while being kinda cute(?) and i did that on purpose. U changed her jaw and lips and i dont think u did a good job, now she looks like average, while doing something weird with her mouth. And because these changes now she looks for me kinda broken. Changing the size of the head didnt help too, at least for me, making her less cute. I think you more changed the style of the painting than correct it, if this makes any sense. Maybe im wrong, of course.

>>3196637
I think he make it less appealing. Yeah, he should have correct the mouth with his changes, but its not wrong, just less appealing and less unique.

>>3196662
>>3196645
>>3196637
its the same broken english in every single post of yours, samefag

>>3196669
Yeah, the first two is me. The guy who said he made it worst not. So what is the point? And yes, my english is shit sherlock

>>3196127
cute stuff anon

>>3196681
Your english is pretty good

>>3196723
Ty, I try

>>3196280
I don't draw like this normally. Just copying another artist

>>3196639
Thx! I have artists i enjoy, but I dont feel like Im inspired by any. I just have a vision for what i want my art to look like in my head and Im slowly working towards it. I watch sinix's videos a lot, and think I might be unknowingly influenced by him, but mostly I'm just working towards what I imagine in my head. As for what inspires me in general to draw, a lot of times when Im looking for lewd art, none of it really appeals to me. So I'm basically trying to get super good to make the lewd art I want to see. dumb motivation but hey its something

I don't know why I try

>>3196733
drop it ill give u a free follow

>>3196930
Really dig your stuff yev-senpai, you seem to have a good sense of style. What program do you use?

>>3196959
mspaint, and sometimes firealpaca for more painterly stuff

>>3196960
>>3196930
i think you made a post mentioning medibang on your tumblr have you used it? do you like it?

>>3196967
Oops, meant to say medibang instead of firealpaca. yea, it is good.

>>3196749
blog?

>>3196930
hey yev, you have a blog?

I did this in medibang paint

>>3196308
>>3196312
That's a shemale pal

How do I make these aneems less retarded-looking? Requesting redlines or specific areas I have to grind. I'm aware that these are polished turds and that I have to learn more fundamentals and anatomy (in process of doing)

>>3197474
Tried to redline myself, and it only helped a little

>>3197474
Bubbles should be fatter, Blossom would be the lean one.

>>3197474
Holy shit so good? Do you got a blog?

>>3197485
I did consider making Bub chubby, but then I decided she should be the petite one, and Blossom just casual lean.

>>3197489
Nej, but here
lewdsatanicswallow.tumblr.com

>>3197474
mishmash of realism/animu (or cartoony whatever you want to call it) and no well defined lighting source. the one on the right looks the best and probably alone by itself she'd look fine (still no real lighting source tho).

>>3197602
really cute

Lines done, want to change the hins and the eyes are bugging me.
Anything to comment on before I start colouring?
>>3197602
very nice lines anon

>>3197602
hmm so I get why people draw now. Actually really decent. Compared to most of what is posted here.

>>3197795

>>3197795
>bugging me.

>>3197795
The face is pretty asymmetrical. eyes being different sizes/shapes and horns not matching up.

>>3195717

>>3197842
She looks cuter now for some reason.

Yeap, here im again with the same haircut. I cant get away with this.

>>3197878
I like how softly you render the features. But I feel like something is off about the structure. Maybe the nose is too upturned or the eyes are off somehow or too flat, I'm not sure.

>>3197878
Is this a self portrait? You look familiar.

>>3197918
Well, i struggle with this face for a long time to make her sexy, cute and beatiful and i dont know either. Maybe you try a overpaint? Dont know.


>>3197924
Yes anon, its me.

>>3197843
Well I worked considerably more on it. Thanks for letting me know.

I just noticed some issues still so I will work on it even more.

>>3197878
It has a nice mood but The ear is too low and its construction could be improved.

Remember that it should align between the base of the nose and the eyebrows. try doing more studies of ears in context or try referencing a similar angle.

Additionally the way you paint clothes makes them look very plain like a low rez texture mounted on a low poly model. Between garments there should me more occlusion shadows in the meeting corners And overlapping materials

Hair also should have some kind of drop shadow falling in the face

Sorry if that sounds too harsh, like I said before I do like how warm and moody her face looks. Keep at it!

>>3197956
Thanks anon, i will look to improve the way i render clothes and pay more atention to shadows/hard shadows. Its never harsh when you know you are bad. But i dont know about the ear, looks right for me. The way she is tilted the ear would be slightly below where it should be in a front view(?). Actually while i was drawing this i was thinking if the ear was too high.

>>3197963
Sometimes the tilt can be hard to grasp. Give it a couple of days of rest and try doing studies in the meantime. You will notice how the tilt and location of the ear can be improved


>>3196635

I unironically don't understand the firez hate here, he seems to actually study and finish stuff consistently but always gets shat on. Is it just a meme or is he actually hated? And why?

wip,

>>3195546
Fix it? It's literally one line.

>>3196063
This reminds me of Crayon Shin-chan. Also what >>3196199
said.

>>3196191
Eye is too large and too close to the edge.

>>3196206
Don't listen to these cunts, anon. The ear should align with the eyes if the face is forward, yeah, but you're doing fine otherwise.

>>3196319
Left eye needs a bit more foreshortening.

>>3196321
Work on making the hands the same size.

>>3196490
Draw feet first, then the shoes around them.

>>3197878
There's something off about the nostril angles (like another anon said) and I don't get the saturated red between her lips, but otherwise keep it up. Damn good skills there.

>>3198416
Great face details. The legs look a bit short though.

>>3198536
>The ear should align with the eyes if the face is forward,
So they don't align if the face isn't forward?

more dramatic lighting would help. more contrast, darker background, make it look like an intense, low light above the table is the only light in the room.

>>3198466
How'd you get this good

there were worse images in the threads though

<I think I'm done with this

>>3198502
>>3198607
Thanks.

I don't consider myself good but these last few months I have felt that my drawings have gotten considerable better, it takes time, patience and to be very concious: in other words "you really need to be there" while drawing, half assing your study time or even personal work/doodling time is a huge waste. Cut the music if necessary, use white noise instead, don't get up and do something else after doing a few lines, etc...

Try to develop a good internal dialogue, ask yourself questions about your drawing, why I'm doing this lines? what I'm really trying to depict? can I afford to elevate constrast here in order to make my forms clearer?...etc

Give priority to form, form is king, the vilppu meme is for real, try to experience the solidity of your forms, don't just draw a line just because or push pixels blindly hoping a happy accident happens.

I even started dabbling in 3d just to improve my sense of form and I think it has worked well enough, Another thing I've been doing is using the quick poses site, it keeps track of your figure drawing time and more important it limits you to 2 minutes so you have to prioritize and don't waste your lines in order to depict well enough those references.

Another thing I usually do is that I start my shadows with the oclussion shadows, usually these are very constant and will not vary with the change of the main light, they are also incredibly good anchors/landmark for forms.

>>3199197
I like it. But
if you changed/adjust that arm in a more comfortable position for her, look more natural because that arm at the back kinda makes her seem stiff.

>>3198831
LOL

always the shitters that try to redline, gassed up by their dunning krugers

>>3198526
Fucking love it. The closest foot is especially nice.

>>3199044
How about you finish it first- or at least finish a single element on her. Everything from the hair to the face to the torso are partially sketched in

>>3198990
He’s cute, but what’s going on with your lines? They’re not too bad- I’m just curious.

>>3198599
>futa
That’s not a dick. It looks sharp and.. crumpled? Go study basic anatomy- her form is ten kinds of awful

>>3198990
Cute, but the hands are really small

>>3199331
How do you know where to put shadows if you don't even do studies

>>3199338
cause we see shadows everyday. we kinda have a basic idea of how they work already.

>>3199329
>That’s not a dick. It looks sharp and.. crumpled?
I can tell you've never seen an animal's penis, he was probably going for a horsecock or dog dick

>>3199329
Thanks. I use my phone to get a pic of the sketch and try to play around with the brightness/contrast levels to get the most contrast possible, so it looks funky at this stage. Hopefully when I paint over it, it'll look fine.

>>3199333
Ah snap, I forgot to make his forearm/hands larger. Thanks for the reminder!

>>3199329
>Everything from the hair to the face to the torso are partially sketched in
and?

>>3196438
much love for ryuujouu

hello friends

excuse, but how to make this art style pattern like on the orange hair girl hair?

thank

>>3197825
any better? Tried using grey lines to make it look softer

>>3199394
Step 1: google canvas texture (i did this one for you)
Step 2: put the colors for the hair on a separate layer from all other colors
step 3: make a clipping layer above the hair layer
step 4: paste the canvas texture into the clipping layer
step 5: set layer to overlay, adjust opacity to suit your preferences
voila

another witch

>>3199399
What's a clipping layer for? Can't you just make a selection outside the hair layer then just cut around the outside?

>>3199402
Love the way you did the pointed heels as to really exaggerate their form.

>>3199405
That also works. Clipping layers have basically the same effect, I personally just find them quicker to use and more convenient.

>>3196438
little too messy. And eyes kinda look like frog eyes.

>>3198712
This was a weird drawing.

>>3198990
I think I'm finally getting the hang of coloring digitally.

>>3199479
What is it with decent furry artists on /ic/? I don't like furries in general but your style is cute.

>>3199479
Nice, the color adds a lot

>>3199486
There's other furry artists here? I don't browse much outside the alternative art threads but I don't think I've seen another furry artist unfortunately. Unless you're including that one drawing above with the horse cock. Thanks for the kind words, though!

>>3199489
Thanks! It's fun playing around with the colors. Been mostly using warm hues here though so I might experiment with other colors next time.

drawing a print, input before i dive balls deep is appreciated

>>3198707

>>3199425
i need to work on my rendering

I'll try asking this here since the actual question thread is dead as fuck and this place feels appropriate, since this is alternate.

So this is one of Yoshinari's pieces, and it's done traditionaly, isn't it? I tried studying his method and have not found a way to emulate this exact paint style digitaly. It always comes out very wrong, no matter how I do it. Can somebody give me some pointers, or show a better way to achieve this digitally?

>>3199668
Looks like copics or watercolor. Since it's traditional, you would have to put some noise on yours after to mimic the paper texture.

>>3199668
since when did yoshinari paint like this?

>>3199668
Hmmm I think the key may be add noise when you finish painting. And shadows has some purple tone with some crayon texture. I must say it looks like a little like guache painting with shadows and tiny outlines done by crayons.

>>3199708
Not him, but you've seen Yoshinari's studies and schoolwork, right? That dude can do everything, not just cartoony anime.

>>3199721
No, where did you see that?

>>3199721
I have. Never to this level though.

>>3199752
r u like some stay at home weeb that draws anime at home all day?

>>3199752
The arms look really short

>>3199752
So this is talent, an incomparable imagination.

>>3199752
Cute desu

>>3199752
Can you feel the forms? How do you get it into perspective every time?

>>3199758
I wish thats what I was doing all day. i procrastinate a lot and dont draw as much as I want to.
>>3199763
I just sort of rough it out usually and hope for the best

>>3195977
Yev, what do think has been the most helpful to you in terms of learning anatomy?

Anyone got tips on using screentones in ya artwork? Should I just think of it as shading with values or should I adopt a different mindset?

>>3199834
It's half value and half it's own mindset. Mostly try out your own way with it as that's usually how it works, but mangaka do have certain ways of using it too, so check them out on manben and such. Requires you to know certain tones and which ones you specifically want to use, being consistent is key from that point on.

>>3199752
the fact that /ic/ sucks your dick says a lot about the depressing state of this board

>>3199864
idk, i feel think they might be doing it ironically.

>>3199864

It's Kou, the guy who, among other things, made the ilustrations from Valkyrie Profile. That's one of the characters.

>>3199705
>>3199716
Thanks for the answers. Just one more thing: While the "noise" adding did came to mind, I'm not sure how to go about it. Usually I just lay a layer of paint using the standard photoshop brush then lock that and paint with some other brush on top. Is there another way to go about it? I want to try many different methods and see what works best.

>>3196127
are you me?

>>3200370
you should practice being a lot neater

>>3200370
Loving the composition and colors.

how do I draw like this

>>3200464
Very carefully and with a digital tablet. You know those things you connect to a computer and use a pen that sends waves to connect with tablet which then sends signals to the computer about where to input the precise position on your screen as where you placed it on the tablet? Yeah, that one.

>>3200464
Not to burst your bubble or anything but that's most likely just traced over a 3D rendering of a room and then painted over accordingly.

>>3199868
How do you learn to draw like this?

>>3200509
By drawing a lot

Okay so this is just a small portion of a large commission I'm doing but anyway

How many pages does the average mangaka draw every day? It's my dream to go pro, but I'm so goddamn slow and I have quite a few other skills I'd have to improve on. I just wish I could draw anime and make more than a minuscule amount of money.

>>3200518
forgot to resize fuck me

>>3200518
Let's just say you'll have to REALLY love drawing manga, to the point where it's basically your lifestyle. Hopefully other anons can bring up good alternatives to think of that don't stray too far from the mangaka route.

>>3200520
Ugh, I misread your question, but it's not a matter of pages than it is how many hours they put into their works. I don't know the statistics on how many pages though but I'm sure you can get an idea by looking into the rate at which other mangas get published.

>>3200518
>How many pages does the average mangaka draw every day?
I read somewhere that it was 3

>>3200518
I once read someone did like 16 pages in a day before

>>3200518
>It's my dream to go pro, but I'm so goddamn slow
Same. I'm a fast runner but I'm slow at anything which requires mental energy - was always the last kid to hand in the test in at school

>>3200539
>tfw slow at running and mental work

>>3200541
>tfw tall, broad shouldered, and can outrun most people despite never training or exercising
Funny how things work, I'd trade that shit in a heartbeat for a sharper mind that can draw well

>>3200520
I have a story in my head/a few characters I've already made that I have loved for a year and think about all the time. I have the motivation, just not the skill. Feels bad man

>>3200523
>>3200524
Fuck man, I bet I could get 1 a day if I'm lucky. But 3-16? Hell no. Any chance I could just do my own manga on the side of everything else and get like 1 a day done(without any influence of other people), or is that a useless effort?

>>3200539
We just gotta try to draw more or something. I have a beg friend that takes forever to do a few lines, and I whip em out much faster because I'm definitely above average. Maybe we'll just naturally get faster? I don't know how to do a lot of detail and make it quick.

What do you guys think my art lacks ?

>>3200592
A proper background.
Better storytelling about why her expression is like that.
A fix on the arms and legs so they don't seem so straight. I think it would look better this way, but it works as it is already.
Also do you got a social media or even discord?

>>3200594
I don't have a social media account. Thanks for the critique.
She is based on this girl.

>>3200507
not to burst your bubble, but you don't even have to render a background, just take a photo.

>>3200464
do you mean lineart? keep practicing and use layers. also, troll harder.

>>3196319

Ok, I'm by no means an amazing artist, so take everything I say with a grain of salt. A few of the issues I noticed, however, I painted over. So.

Overall, the composition of the painting is very good. Her pose and facial expression are wonderful, however I noticed that both fell flat. In my mock up, you can see that not only did I fix the anatomical errors, but I've also pushed the expression of her face, even though it's subtle (furrowed brows, squinting the eyes, etc).

The anatomy of the face and body was also incorrect, and even in my paint over it probably still is. The body and face both seemed "smooshed," like you took the transform tool and skewed her. I've restored that by emphasizing her cheeks, jaw, and chin; as well as her left shoulder which wasn't pictured originally. Another thing was her hair. It was bulbous and bulky and had no sense of life to it; it was rather stiff. When I was painting over the hair, I noticed that you've already done a lot of detail, not only to her hair, but the whole drawing. I would personally wait to draw in details until you're 80% done with the image, otherwise you end up tunnel visioning on that instead of making sure the rest of the picture is sound.

The last and final thing I noticed was the lighting. I wasn't too sure what was happening with that, so I improvised to the best of my ability as to what I thought you were trying to achieve Based on the highlights of her hair and face, I assumed the light was coming from behind her, but in the image, neither light nor shadow is present. I've fixed this for you.

I hope this helps. I'm really bad at giving advice desu lol.

>>3200592
Arm is too long

I'm surprised I didn't miss this thread.

>>3199868
nice
>>3199197
cool but butt seems a bit too small compared to that thigh imo

>>3200649
this person doesnt want criticism. dont you see her art is already perfect?? fucking RUDE

>>3200669
Nice lines, nice drawings. How do I get to your level?

>>3200679
juts practice :^)

>>3196319
I didn't do much painting over but more playing around with adjustments.

>>3200649
>>3200711
They all look bad to be honest. The original looks like a skinny special needs white boy. The second one looks like a goblin, and the last one looks like a girl on drugs. Just absolute garbage critique and advice. All the more reason to never take things seriously here. If your gonna give advice please make the final picture at least somewhat of an appealing girl face.

>>3200721
Agreed, I honestly liked the original and cant tell if people geniuely think they are improving it or if they are merely joking.

>>3199402
How you get this lines?
What kind of brush you use?

>>3200791
maybe you need some new eyes

>>3200843
isn't the pencil tool on photoshop just like that?

>>3200649
thanks for take ur time. i like how you move her ear and changed its shape and i absolutely agree about the hair and i liked the way you painted it. But i did not like the changes in her face again, as the lighting that you made. You pushed her expression too, but in this matter i think is subjective. Some people will like something more subtle others more clear and you did a really good job pushing this. Maybe i should have done this? I guess the day i work in pieces to put in a portfolio i need to make things more clear, because the industry likes that way.
>>3200671
i want, but i dont have to agree with everything i guess.
>>3200711
i did not like her face. I guess i should stop saying that. But i liked the changes in the hair and how you made it more clear.

Trying a more editorial style.

What do you use to ink, Kyle's brushes?

>>3200721
Waiting for your paint over.

>>3201081
>Kyle's brushes
Is there something special about this guys brushes? Been hearing about him lately.

>>3201128
He's probably the most popular brush maker for PS, but I'm not sure if that's a result of really good marketing on his part or not.

You're probably only hearing of him recently due to his Adobe deal. They basically own all his brushes now as part of their Creative Cloud, so you can't buy his brushes anymore and can only use them as a CC buyer.

>>3200995
it's something like
>lineart
>shadows on multiply with some bright color, not too saturated.
>duplicate layer on darker color, change color to something very bright and saturated, usually orange move it a few pixels in the direction the light's coming from, lower opacity.
>turn shadows off, color with split complimentary colors.
That means every color here is some kind of mute yellowish green/brown/red, but the gold things are very saturated and shiny.
>multiply layer, slight gradient in the direction the light fades away.
>extra layer with soft light in the direction the light comes from.

hi, crit/ic/s
my friend commissioned me for a christmas gift for his wife, she like norse mythology so he wanted a picture of skadi, goddess of winter
i'm having a hard time with it, i guress, i've been working on it for two days straight and still don't feel satisfied with either version. although these are definitely an improvement from what i started with.
i drew up two different rough drafts, the first i felt i couldn't get her elbow right and the second just seems...boring?
which one do you guys prefer? and do you have any suggestions on how to improve either?

>>3201236
I prefer the one on the right. The framing on the left fails to be either organic or decorative enough to look intentional. The right has a better pose, the branches feel more purposeful in framing, and I think her face looks more attractive and powerful.

Also the right looks like it could be a collectible card from a Norse mythology themed set, which is cool. Sweet owl by the way.

>>3201233
The woodprint foliage looks amazing with your style. Nice to see you back in more illustrative pieces.

>>3201161

You have a sick ass style.

how do your map out your colors before you start painting/coloring? i love this piece but I would have never thought of using that pink for the hands, so i'm wondering what your process is like.

This would make for a good manga.
