/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Something got fucked in the transfer process, but anyways I tried doing 2-jointed fingers because apparently normal human hands are too uncanny.

>>3251034
>drawing made it to the OP
Looks like im gonna make it after all

>>3251045
>mfw too much of a furfag to make it to the OP

>>3251034
was kinda hoping this was going to be OP's image

>>3251052
NGL was tempted to do that but I have too much respect for cummiechoo

>>3251054
pretty

>>3250646
Post your work faggot.

>>3251054
do you have blog?

Why does no one critique my stuff :\ It's been about a month since I've gotten one.

>inb4 pyw

I don't want your pity critiques.

>>3251197
>Nobody pays any attention to me!
>I don't want your pity attention right now.
>Why doesn't anyone pay any attention to me!

The absolute state of /ic/

>>3251202
Well yeah, my rant was mostly rhetorical but I'd rather get no attention than pity attention.

>>3251206
and now you're getting negative attention you stupid cunt.

>>3251197
Just don't use /ic/ to stroke your ego or as your social media site. Post something that took you a while and specify your problem, like "I'm unsure about X" or "how would you do X".

Also giving a mindful crit to one or two other posters raises your chances, 'cause people see you help the community instead of just mining for resources.

>>3251208
At least it's not directed towards my art B)

>>3247880 here, sorry, i was busy with holiday things ;-;

>>3247883
>>3248373
oh i was already following you both lol, sorry, i'm very forgetful haha

(i'll have to look into this tho, danke)

>>3248097
glad i could help and danke! i'd actually love a redline if you don't mind/you've returned to your tablet/you have the time, i struggle a lot with symmetry, and also a bit anatomy wise when it comes to big buff arms facing towards the viewer so it's just mostly bicep, like i get lost with how much of the other muscle masses to show, i think i might know how to fix the feet tho but i'm not perfect at those either an would love the feedback nwn

>>3251210
I go to this board to get better, not to get my ego stroked by random anons. All abrasiveness aside, I do give crits and all and I know not everyone can get crits all the time, but I'm a little frustrated I guess is all. Thanks for taking the time to give a thoughtful response though, I appreciate it.

>>3251210
if you're like me, even just posting your work somewhere "publicly" can help summon that sixth sense of being able to see glaring errors in a drawing that were somehow invisible before, even if you're still unsure of how exactly to fix them...

>>3251197
>>3251206
>>3251216
hey, what if someone, not necessarily you, posted in the next few minutes and i did my best to offer them some constructive critique

>>3251238
Looks like you were trying to go for a rough, hatched look. However, it looks like you were going for a mix of cross hatching and basket hatching (I don't know the official name of the latter), which gives the impression that your drawing is very unrefined. If you're going for that hatching shading style, it's best to stick with one kind.

>>3251039
i like these hands better and the eyepatch looks real cool

>>3251208
Hey anon, don't be mean.

>>3251212
I'm still occupied with family reunions and such, but you're just too nice to ignore. Have a touchpad redline.

>The main idea
is to vary things up a bit. Draw only one side of the form and then think about what could compliment it on the other, usually C curves for flexes and S curves for stretches. You can also vary things up by giving opposing curves different lengths or apexes.
>Straights
can give structure, show bone or make a curve look extra curvier by contrast.
They also stop the eye movement, so they look good on joints or feet.
Straights are super powerful, so use them sparingly.

>Feet
are lots of fun. They taper a lot, so whenever I notice I'm drawing symmetry of any kind, I know I'll end up with an ugly sausage for a foot.
Notice lots of straights where the foot touches the ground, lots of flow on the other side, this helps sell the idea that he's standing firm.

Good luck anon and remember to have fun.

So 3 1/2 heads for cute boys, right /ic/?

>>3251294
Wrong.

>>3251053
>I have too much respect for cummiechoo
but why?

>>3251297
But anon that's a girl and definitely not a shota.

>>3251297
She's cute, I like how you drew her, what a cute girl, so feminine, I love catgirls.

>>3251276
Cute, got a blog?

>>3251276
so good, blog?

>>3251494
I already asked, you don't need to ask too.

>>3251276
Cute, where can i find more?

>>3251504
Oh sorry I didn't see your post I just wanted to know if he had a blog?

did some greyscale to color practice along with some lighting

as you can (probably) tell i love animu and i aspire to get better and better...(2 hours later)....and better...

i have a liking of crisp clean lines as well as quality but im a diamond in the rough

>>3250882
I know but I need the critique *sigh* at least for some stuff, I no longer post everything here

>>3250819
whatever good I may have, it is about putting the hours and having patience. Try to live up to your own taste and ambition (aka: would I like or even save this if it wasn't mine?)

Possessing a critical and focused internal dialogue and giving priority to form helps a lot too.


>>3251317
Cute but the far eye is showing too much white, It should be less than the near one due to perspective

>>3251554
Cute face, I like it.

>>3251538
This looks really nice anon. How did you go about colorizing the gray?

>>3251317
this face reminds me of some kind of fish.

cute is what im going for;
based on my "own" tastes, and based on my ideal artists' eyes.

>>3251565
she got a tumor in her arm
the bottom torso should be bigger
the neck should be connected woth the torso, not only the back
where the other arm comes from?

>>3251571
Close. it's actually a silver arawana. Damn and I was sitting here thinking majority of ic were retarded,

>>3251580
my friend. if you say yes, i'd shed a tear.

do u watch river monsters?


i thought it was because of the headshape

>>3251562 in photoshop btw
ctrl+b for the base skin tone. i adjusted it with Image>adjustments>curve to bring up the colors to something more natural. then i just proceeded to paint over that base colors i got through that and just experimented with the clothes etc

>>3251582
Watched a bit, but only really got to know of the arowana because of some dude that makes fish videos vlogged about his arowana until it died. He buried it in his backyard afterwards. Think it was king of DIY on youtube.

I'm painting the charli. QT

>>3251583
Wait what does ctrl+b do in photoshop?

>>3251666
color balance. though this way you still manually lay out colors after you get some of the base colors on. so this is just really the first step of how ive learned greyscale to color.

>>3251691

Absolutely amazing, give me your blog right now.

>>3251691
>>3251693
Oh wow, I had no idea you could colorize grayscale this way. Too bad I'm shit with value, this would likely never work for me.
If I understand correctly though, those figures at the bottom right are where you first colorized it and the other two are where you manually painted over it?

>>3251739
the four figures on the left
1st is greyscale, 2nd is the color balance, 3rd is a curve adjustment and color edits+start of clothes colors. and 4 is just 3 with more detail.

figures on right side are just different examples of messing with the curve adjustment.

>>3251744
Oh okay, I got ya. Thanks for sharing your technique anon, I might try it out some time. I'll also be interested to see what progress you make with it.

>>3251765
i try to post when i can, but i work a lot so it's not all the time.

>>3251770
Very nice sketches and things! Any particular reason you don't use tags?

trying, anatomy/redline help much appreciated.

>>3251709
fumu

>>3251790
I like it but I don´t know what you want to do with those legs. You will keep drawing it as goat legs or in feminine form

I actually want to get to Firez's level where people rip apart his works. That's like the ultimate crit.

>>3251856
Then just draw and post your work really often, that's what Yev, Doctor-kun, and Coomie do too.

>>3251858
>implying they learn from those crits

>>3251823
ty friend, just human legs. I couldn't make the legs look right. Also much more expressive nice.

>>3251576
>>3251700
some hours after posting it plus your comments, I realize I really fucked up. Next one will be final and better.

Thanks

>>3251034
more elves in armor...
comments/crits welcome!

>>3251922
Kinda hard to tell at first glance but I get it now, I think it's hard to tell apart the hair from the armor.

>>3251860
>implying any of those so called "crits" were worth any of their time

Why would they associate their work here anyways, its not like they have anything useful to gain from these comments, especially coomi

>>3251954
Coomi definitely doesn't need those "crits," Yev-san to a lesser extent, but we can all agree dentist-kun is probably gonna stay shit tier unless he actually learns from the responses.

feels good to start adding backgrounds. I've always been a huge pussy with adding them. I definitely need more stuff/clutter on the dresser for storytelling. Also any constructive criticism would be appreciated; I would like to know how to make the next one better.

>>3251959
How did you get that awesome light effect on the dresser?

>>3251922
highly unreadable. Try to be a bit clearer in what you are trying to draw.

>>3251922
i see an arm and a flag, but nothing else makes sense. lrn2draw

>>3251961
It's actually a 3D render i made with some simple lighting and modeling; I've been learning Blender to add to my 2D.

>>3251956
kek

>>3251565
this is why people hate on extremely stylized art.
i mean, the shading looks pretty as fuck and so does the face and the details around but the proportions are fucked up and its hard to notice that when u focus more on the pretty things.i have my own artstyle but when drawing bodies i always try to draw it as neutrally as possible so i can focus better on the proportions etc

been busy with christmas stuff, here's some random stuff i've done lately.

>>3252072
how do you get that chalky texture in your coloring and outlines?

>>3251039
Okay I know I don't get much CC here in the first place, but I'd like to get some feedback as to whether this looks fine to you guys or not so far. I tried to paint with much more saturated colors since I've developed a habit to make very undersaturated drawings, but I dunno whether I went too far or not. I know this is one of those things where you can just sleep on it and see if it looks fine the next day but I need to get this done by tonight.

>>3251278
Aw thanks, it is a pretty cool 'sona.

Now give him a wojak face

>>3252270
The food is not even in the same dimension of that table. Try to construct them with the same perspective next time. The colors are fine just put some effort in the perspective.

really hope i didnt fuck up too much, will take a better look at the values tomorrow

>>3252389
Man, I don't know how I fucked up something so simple.Thanks for the reminder, I'll try to salvage as much as I can.

>>3252312
yeah pretty much this

i hope i didnt fuck it up too badly, will continue trying to fix the weirdness tomorrow

>>3251700
bet your art is shit lul.

>>3252573
if you see something wrong feel free to tell me! k don't think you have to be all that skilled to point out simple errors. a different perspective is nice too!

anyone saying that loomis is a meme is wrong


also critique?

>>3252733
Okay Yev I've always tried to side with you but this is the last straw.

eh..

>>3252733
>>3252735
wtf I love yev now

>>3252749
wtf I can't see his ass

>>3252763
ah damn me too

>>3252749
I really love the way you do poses, but the back of the right hand looks like it has a tumor. Clean up those lines. Also the right leg just looks out of proportion, especially since it looks like the lower half looks like it's going perpendicular to the ground for some reason even though I know you're not going for that.

>>3252778
I was using this as a reference to practice off of. I felt like something seemed off. Thanks for the advice man!

any advice here?

>>3252733
dont let anyone tell u u arent allowed to draw cute horses

lazy study

>>3252270
Plates are a meme anyways.

>>3252808
I dig the muscle definition, but looks like the hair on the back of her head (the part that wraps around the scalp) is detached. Either that or she has some tumor. Or maybe that's just how ponytails work I dunno.

>>3252749
post the ref, we know you traced most of it

>>3252837
>>3252782
I didn't?

>>3252835
you're perspective/construction needs to catch up with your rendering.

>>3252845
What do you mean by construction? If you're referring to the left hand then it's just me misreading the sketch and then I hit the point of no return. I agree on the perspective bit tho.

THEDEVILANDGODARERAGINGINSIDEME

>>3252733
Good choice

>>3252733
I'm sorry this kind of bothered me because the body was a bit out of perspective and wonky. I also planted the back leg on the ground.

>>3251034
I'll just post this here. Is there any decent, simple guide to blending values in photoshop? I block everything in and it looks pretty cool, and then when I try to blend it looks autistic. The left looks like shit. I end up just wanting to leave things as linework :v

>>3252038
Shit tier. Go back to /beg

>>3252895
post your work.

>>3252897
That won't prove anything.

>>3252908
Do it faggot.

>>3252871
anime jesus?

>>3252041
Not an excuse but I was purposedly taking a risk with that one. I failed and I probably failed here too but hopefully in a minor grade.

>>3252730
Don't leave the line below her jaw that wide.

>>3251856
There is a lot of noise too desu

Struggling

>>3253072
Blog???

>>3253157
terrible

>>3253157
The ape part looks great, the Vegeta part could use a little refining. I think the side of his head and face on the right hand side of the image is too far extended and should be shaved down some. The armor looks a bit thin and weak, I'd make it thicker in that part where you can see the edge of it and go for bigger, bolder and more jagged shapes for the broken and cracked parts. When you stylize exaggeration is your friend in storytelling and selling that story.

>>3253162
im not that anon but thats Firez. a prevalent anon.

Adding details, agreed on the armor, needs grit and weight

>>3253162
>>3253189

Thanks here are my sites:

>>3244002

FWIW my tumblr gets updated every day

>>3252871

keep yer dick in yer pants jesse

I did this exercise for this thread >>3244706 but it's already been in autosage for a while.

>>3251197
That's cuz you don't draw stuff that's interesting enough.

>>3253497
Very nicely captured forms. Loose but confident. If anything I would only suggest more practice with perspective as some of the forms seem slightly misaligned but overall I think this is good work.

>>3253521
isometry is not to be used after the first month.
add light

>>3252749
Your brain keeps telling you feet are supposed to be smol, it keeps forcing you to flatten the whole thing.
You have to bridge that gap, observational drawing isn't a bad start, measure the angles and proportions, overlay the reference if you need to, just get the foreshortening right.
Your brain will think "this is wrong, this is wrong.." but at the end it'll look right, so it will succumb.
Construct the figure with cylinders, look at Krenz's studies for ref. The more you do it, the more you overcome that fear.

How's this pose look?

>>3253557
Stiff and unnatural.

>>3253557
looks good, ignore the troll

tried going for the pixel brush memes

>>3253605
Oh, well.

>>3253617
Thanks!

>>3253605
But seriously, dynamic posing and proper anatomy are something I need to work on, so thanks for the crit anyway.

>>3253617
I wasn't trolling. The line of action is literally straight. A little arc and a raised head would've been much better for this type of pose. To even push it further have the raised leg behind the weight bearing leg, giving the pose a better silhouette.

>>3253640
No, no, you’re 100% right. I was too focused on trying to replicate the reference and it ended up too static.

>>3251790
>hooked tiddies
nice, hadn't seen that before

>>3252849
i meant the food objects on the table. they're out of perspective and just look real weird aside from being rendered.

>>3253072
quickfix would be to either make her shoulders less wide and perhaps try to rotate the left shoulder a little bit backwards to fit the rotation and size of her wait , or to give her a wider waist (more pronounced obliques).

besides that, one last thing i notice (though i might be wrong on this) is the right forearm.
it seems to travel too far up the arm and make direct contact with the bicep. normally theres a little space between the bicep and the elbow crease before the muscle of the forearm starts.

>>3253703
Ah, fair enough. Back to the Loomis!

>>3253521
>>3253525
If this is isometry then it's wrong because it's not isometric, it has a focus point far to the upper right

meh

>>3253497
I always save these sketches, mainly because they are so inventive.

Sup' /ic/icles.

I want to ask you a question that has been naggin' me for so long, one of the main diferences I see consistently between western artists and Japanese ones is that westerners either draw thick lines or no lines at all, while Japanese draw extremely thin lines, how do they do it? drawing myself with a simple pencil, I can't physically draw such a thin line.

>>3253282
Trudging along

>>3253809
Just draw on a big canvas.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9BYNcsej3g

>>3253817
Season 3! Yes!!

>>3253809
>Japanese draw extremely thin lines, how do they do it?
I think most hatching is done with a Nikko nib, whereas they use a G-Pen nib for most outlines. Western artists use brushes much more often I think. Mangaka mainly use brushes for hair, is that right? And it's a fine brush as I understand it.

What's the best nib to use when inking mouths? This style is new to me.

>>3252562
cutting my losses

>>3253928
you should spend some time focusing on drawing to get a better feel for form. you can still do it exclusively through muscle lolis if that's what you want of course.

>>3253943
Looks to me his sense of form is alright. Mind elaborating?

>>3253928
See if you can increase the brightness of the eyes/teeth since they'll be the ones reflecting a lot of light, seeing how have some strong light sources judging by the highlights on the skin. Or at the very least make the glint in the eye brighter.

>>3253950
The whole problem with painting is that it makes these things harder to notice.
The head shape is pretty fucked, and the eyes are clearly just symbols. Also, there's no good example for it in this picture, but with the anatomy in general the structural deficiencies become obvious the moment foreshortening is involved.

>>3253962
>The head shape is pretty fucked, and the eyes are clearly just symbols

Anon...

>>3253825

>G-Pen nib

This makes no sense in digital, also people demonstrating those pens who are western DO draw thicker lines, I think it has to do more with physiology and psychology of the Japanese.

>>3253968
I can try doing a redline if you really don't understand what I mean, but it'll probably be shit and you'll disregard my opinion because of it.

>>3251281
wowdude this is amazing, i wasn't even aware that was what you were talking about but this is so good, thank you! (also sorry it took me so long to see this, was a bit busy but again thanks, i really appreciate it nwn)

>>3254021
done

>>3253993
What about HAPAs?

What the fuck where are the mods

>>3251034
What do you gusually think?
Is this an appealing doodle?

I'm thinking of using this style for quickies

2017 is coming to an end. i hope you all made the most of it!

I hope we all die soon

>>3253294
God you're stupid

I'm not sure if this is the best thread to ask this but I was sketching this out and more and more I kept feeling like I've seen something like this before. I thought it might be Riven from LoL but I couldn't find one. Does it look familiar to anyone else?

>>3253817
>going over the same line multiple times
Chicken scratching, ngmi.

>>3254475
ya saw it in the toilet yesterday

>>3254507
I know, there's a time and a place for pretty much every kind of look and technique. I was just pointing out the absurdity of people who put down absolute rules like "you can never go over or pet a line, EVER."

>>3254516
Why you gotta be like that anon

>>3254475
No, but it looks decent.

>>3251244
i've found that that particular type of hatching only "works" with angular or irregular surfaces like rock faces, straw mats, rough clothing, etc. It looks particularly unnatural on skin, but this is up to you to stylize.

>>3253809
>>3253825

Don't forget the handy dandy Maru nib. It's my personal favorite.

>>3254062
fucking kek

>>3253928
IMO the facial features do not lined up well. It is a bit confusing since eyes seems to indicate that the head is fairly tilted to the side while everything else implies that it is only slightly tilted relative to the torso, if at all. Line up ears\eyes to the rest of the head or vice versa, idk.

1000 hours in photoshop for mad flat red linez.

>>3254929
now this is proof that everyone on this site that doesn't post work, "critiques", and talks shit about other peoples art are actually fucking garbage.

>>3254940
Where's you redline? That's what I thought. We're here to help each other regardless of skill level.

This is something I finished the other day. I attempted a really difficult pose with my limited anatomy knowledge. I also tried to go full force with color. Critique?

even more elves in armor
comments/crits welcome

>>3254980
This is cool what'd you use to draw it

>>3253928
more dramatic lighting maybe?
Face might be a bit extreme, but when shes evenly lit, it takes much of the danger/threat away.

>>3255009
micron, brush pen, ink wash brush, white gel pen

>>3253928
gtfo pedo

Anyone got any info on how to drawing not stiff clothes.

>>3254201
Too messy. At least keep the coloring inside the lines.
Keep drawing.

>>3254475
I decided to work a little more on this. It was inspired by 2B but I didn't think her sword would work with the pose idea so I made a 2B derivative. So much for the originality I was worried about. I was thinking about calling her E6.

>>3254677
Thank you, I appreciate that.

>>3255029
No can do, huge lolis are how I stay alive

>>3255019
I actually had the lighting set up a bit like this at first, but then realized it would be a bit difficult to show her form like this.

>>3254929
The face was bothering me forever and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with it, thanks for showing me the light!

>>3253943
It's a bit tricky, because I get told often that my sketches show more form than my final renders and I have no idea what's going on...

back to my old brush

>>3255082
good colors

>>3254869
My first thought when I woke up today was, "What are the Maru nibs used for again?" I haven't bought one yet. I think they're for inking hair or backgrounds?

>>3255082
brush settings?

So I finally did use a reference.

LMAO DID THE MODS JUST PRUNE THE HOW2ANIME THREAD??? HAHAHAHA

How do I get nice clean lines and curves in Photoshop without tracing over everything with the pen tool? Do I just have to git gud and eventually I'll be able to produce smooth curves by hand? How common is it for people to actually use the pen tool?

>>3255373
Lazy Nezumi is worth looking into. If it's something you struggle with on paper as well and you're not the most experienced artist, it might just be a matter of mileage.

>>3255375
I'm very /beg/ and my lines with paper and pencil aren't always great either, but at least I find it much easier to make good lines on paper than with digital.

I personally don't see anything wrong with using the pen tool, it just feels pretty slow and I was wondering if there was yet another trick I didn't know about. I'm sure using the pen gets faster with practice too.

>>3255368

Mods don't usually delete things. It's strange.

>>3255384
Yeah, really strange especially seeing how loli crap usually gets through all the time. But that doesn't really explain why they deleted an entire thread dedicated to drawing anime, but then again I don't know what exactly they post there.

Pic related: looks like the mods woke up.

>>3255381
If you use those kinds of tools early on as a way to compensate for an important fundamental skill like drawing confident lines, you're only going to hurt yourself in the future. If you lack line confidence and never work on it, chances are you won't be able to find drawing too enjoyable in the future. I don't really know any big time artist out there outside of those that do vector work that use the pen tool simply because you can accomplish the same thing with better ease with the brush tool.

>>3255395
Okay, looks like they deleted the thread again. I gotta say what the hell, mods? I personally don't browse HTFDIDA or whatever they call it but it looks like a pretty useful thread for people who don't feel confident enough to post here and want to venture into stylization. I see those kinds of people getting a lot of flack from here and /beg/ so I can see why they'd want a thread of their own.

Then again I doubt we'd get a response from the mods.

>>3255400

That was my doing this time, sorry about that. I'm just going to wait a few hours for whoever mods shift to end. Maybe they are having a bad day.

>>3255402
I take it you're the OP of that thread? If that's the case, I'm sorry to see you guys getting treated like that. Hopefully it's just a fluke and we won't see this stuff happening again.

>>3255395
Ok, I'll take that into account. I honestly wasn't sure how common it was to use the pen.

>>3255400
>Blatant shitposting and crab enticing threads go ignored
>Meanwhile a thread that motivated to actually draw and provide an opportunity to escape the bucket gets deleted

fu-fu-fu

>>3251211
You have to be a fucking troll.

last one before the year ends, promise
probably won't finish this one, going back to studies for a bit first, but appreciate feedback as usual

last one before the year ends, probably won't finish this one anytime soon though, need to go back to studies for a bit

>>3255478
cmon rin-chan, push those muscles out!

nice face mon

>>3255395
Fuck, I was really looking forward to the new thread. I scrolled through the last one and in all the discussion I really didn't see any reason it should get deleted, especially not compared to some of the threads hanging around here. Just figures as soon as I got interested in something happening around here something would fuck it up.

>>3255515
how about you talk about copying your cartoons here in the containment thread where that drivel belongs

>>3255525
How about you shut the fuck up

>>3255525
I posted my things itt and I'm here waiting for feedback, but I feel like this thread is mostly for people to get help with their individual drawings and not so much a general discussion of the aesthetics of anime and how to get them.

Did this around a month back but I'd still love to get some feedback for it
(there was no preliminary sketch and it was done relatively fast so keep that in mind, I know it's full of errors)

>>3255529
>>3255515

Anywhere else we can discuss these things?

>>3255555
Eh, I loathe to suggest it but the only other board I can think of where it might not get purged is /a/. But even there it probably would because it's not mainly posting content from anime/manga and would possibly have westerner art in it. Maybe /i/ or /aco/? I don't know, it fucking sucks that there's no direct line to any kind of admin about situations like this.

>>3255562
>>3255555
There's the weekly waifu drawing threads.

>>3255565
The one thing I know about those threads is that they are not artist friendly in the least.

>>3254971
Posted this really late last night. Hoping someone could critique it. The pose was from imagination and it's my first attempt at being painterly with color and background. Be ruthless, it's the only way I will learn from mistakes.

i drew this last night because I was reminded of how much i love sylveons

>>3255750
cute

>>3255042
Do studies of fabric in general on forms. It's never going to be vacuum tight against the body, and instead drapes over portions of it. There's points of tension (so usually shoulders, elbows, knees, etc) and areas where things just flow together off the body.

>>3255542
I love it at first glance, but the method of hatching doesn't suggest water so much as it suggests pic related or even certain types of flower petals. Crashing water will never be so ribbon-smooth like that.

>>3255562
I suggested creating a discord study group for people who want to study anime/manga but the creator didn't like it, I still think it would be a good idea, just have to be moderated to prune retards. I'd be willing to help.

>>3255791
It never works, been done and tried tens of times. Anonymity is a life saver.

>>3255791
>the beta weeb tries to worm his way into importance in local anime club
lmao faggots

>>3255478
she was off-balance a bit

>>3255791
I really think it's bullshit we can't talk about it on this board. If we were trying to analyze and learn any other art style like art nouveau or American comics/cartooning or impressionism or some shit there wouldn't be a problem but because it's anime we're not allowed to talk about it here? Come on.

>>3255801
Warned you about these retard weebs. You give an inch and they take a mile. Give them their multiple anime threads and the next thing is every underage weeb rushing past the opened floodgates to make their own thread for their own DA-tier art or questions.

>>3255809
This board is already full of garbage threads. At least that one had people actually doing drawing exercises and analyzing art.

>>3255809
You fucking faggot 4chan was the home of anime to begin with. Now you newfag act like the people wanting anime just came here and weren't here long before you.

>>3255809
Slippery Slope logical fallacy.

Moderation will not delete threads unless reported enough. There were several threads deleted overnight, "/fda" being one of them. It is all on (you) guys* burning your own business.

>>3255817
>>3255821
>>3255812
Look at this shit, yall better believe me now. It's happening, the weebs are lubing this board up for a giant anime shaped dildo.

>>3255828
Right because clearly we who are upset about it reported the thread.

>>3255829
Believe me its happening. The normies think they ever owned this board after they came in and shit on it. Hilarious to see people act all high and mighty when they are in the wrong just too ignorant about it.

>>3255794
pls draw miku

>>3255793
autism

how can i improve the anatomy/pose? using designdoll as ref obv makes it stiffer than i want it

>>3255872
learn figure drawing from vilppu, don't be afraid to experiment, take this pose and bend it to your will until its barely humane.

have fun.

also don't be afraid to err or look like a retard, this is the most important tip, draw more.

>>3255885
will check out and try, ive done some anatomy exercises and shit but never anything with figure or movement really

well, is there anyone here learning anime/manga who would like to share drawings daily and maybe resources?

add me on illyasviel#3229 on discord.

>>3255173
its the medibang standard pencil tool with pressure size and opacity. any round brush should be able to mimic it

>>3255953
>share drawings daily
>tfw disqualifies 95% of /ic/

>>3256031
back to tumblr

Can someone tell me whats wrong with my form?

>>3256122
man... there is so much wrong... lets start with the nose...

How do I keep from panicking at the thought of people seeing my art? It's really fucking me up

>>3256244
Realize they'll think you're talented because hardly anyone draws anyways.

>>3256244
This is a nice board. So post your work.

>>3256245
Neat but I also have a bit of an issue about feeling undeserving or like an attentionfag whenever I have posted. It's a great combo

>>3251598
Yeah, it was King of DIY. I remember that one video he did years ago where he knocked out the arowana to do a minor procedure on it. I think he may have lost some leopoldi stingrays, too, but is returning to raising them again.

>tfw love reading about animal husbandry but 99% of /an/ involves talking about killing cats

>>3256031
I like them

>>3256266
>but 99% of /an/ involves talking about killing cats
wtf why

>>3255492
that's a bit too bulky for her lol
>>3255497
thank you
>>3255794
thanks, i'll adjust this.

The #1 thing I'm concerned with now is that I often get told my sketch is way better looking than my final render, but I have absolutely no idea why it's like this. For now I'll try to easy down on all of the smoke and debris as well as try to give her skin simpler rendering, maybe it'll help?

>>3256139
hey, thanks for pointing it out. i went back to try to fix the proportion.

>>3251922
The character is standing with its back to the viewer, right. You might want to lengthen the arm a little. Oh, and make it more obvious that the character has its back turned by using other identifiers (legs, and hips) or having somebody/something look at it from the front..

>>3255796
stop using reflect faggot

>>3256289
good improvement. Looks very nice

>>3256122
>>3256289
I'm gonna sound like one of those /ic/ shitters, but this is some insane symbol drawing you have here. You're trying to attempt shading on a figure that's heavily stylized, and it looks like you're struggling with understanding the form of the face and hair. Take a step back and see if you can do some studies on human faces. If you really want to get into the whole anime drawing stuff, you can also do some studies of whatever style you want to achieve, but I do recommend getting a decent grasp of realism first. The body looks relatively alright for what it's worth.

Pic related is a good guideline to go by.

>>3256403
is it fun posting your work here?

How the FRICK does the female anatomy work??? CC prease.

>>3256289
Have you ever tried using the blend tool in in csp? It works really well when you try to blend in colours. Also, your face kinda looks like a mix between anime and realism. Especially that nose.

>>3256461
hahaha we posted at the exact same time.. Almost.

>>3256464
haha

>>3256461
stop stabbing your paper

>>3256471

>>3256474
learn to clean your shit up faggot

>>3256474
I'm innocent. I'm not stab anon. I'm just learning to get a degree pulling teeth..

>>3256251
Just post your work and don't make a big deal about it, you bitch. You don't even have to put text to your post, there's no problem here.

Dont know how to resize that on cell phone.

>>3256515
Looks great anon! Try to add more detail to the hair.

>>3254475
The gesture is really nice, but you gotta give some more support to the foot there. It really makes it feel like she's gonna slip any minute.
Maybe curve the sword more to support her foot, not really sure

>>3255082
Really like it anon! Do you have a blog?

>>3256515
STOP TRYING TO FUCKING DRAW LIKE RUAN JIA, JUST STOP.

>>3254201
>>3255047
Second try

What do you guys think?

>>3256515
you are cancer. you are that piece of shit that always posts the same generic garbage faces and is unable to take criticism. i wonder how often you samefag to tell yourself how great you are. you will never be a good artist because you will never be able to take criticism and you are so far up your own ass that you dont even see how shit you are.

>>3256462
still trash, dentist kun

>>3256403
the sad thing is that you probably think youre a good artist even though you really are not
and youre a pedo on top

>>3256672
>>3256677

Post your work

happy new year guiz

>>3256462
hey, i think you've improved a lot!

>>3253866
I'm relying on a .5mm pen over the nibs, which is probably why it ends up with a bolder line.

>>3256403
Draw that thicc "Don't look at my butt" chick. But make her... ehhhhh in the vicinity of 14-18.

>>3256619
I like it, but tell a story.

>>3256695
happy new year, anon!

>>3251554
the proportions are off on the face and body, but not too awfully just enough to be noticeable. The lineworks good but yeah work on getting things more proportional

forgive me lord for i have strayed from the path of the righteous

>>3256408
Yes. I love seeing crabs sperg out.

>>3256677
I dont think Im good at all.

>>3256819
What the frick this crab meme? a filter?

>>3256532
Thanks mate

>>3256547
Ruan jia is not the only one with this style, there are like others 5000 chineses who paint like this.


>>3256672
Why the hate? I know that im bad, you dont need to say that. Im always doing studies of pros, grinding fundies, and deleting old drawings. I dont have any atachment to them. But you touched in a good point, im always doing the same thing,. In 2018 i hope to do more complete illustrations, even in practices, with design choices, narrative, backgrounds, clothes, foreshortrning, better flow, etc. I have a long path to go to even reach decent level. And give more time to art in general.

So is anybody going to make a new anime study thread or should I? Last thread people kept talking about faces and heads, why don't we start with that for the next thread?

>>3256914
I'd love if you did anon but I have a feeling it's just going to get deleted again. If you decide to do it though, I'd suggest a couple of things. For one, in the OP image I think it's best to avoid anything that looks like underaged and sexualized. Obviously I don't know for sure but I know that kind of stuff has come up in the threads a lot and maybe the mods are actually cracking down on it now. My other suggestion is to call it something different, maybe even avoiding the word anime. Maybe something like Eastern Stylization Analysis and Exercises or Style Study or something. If things don't work out after this though, I'm considering opening a thread on /qa/ or something to either talk about why this bullshit keeps happening or fuck it, to have the damn thread over there or something.

>>3256914

You're more than welcome to. I think I have given up on making /ic/ a better place quite honestly. Too many people shit flinging here and gossip.

new thread

Hey thanks!!

Epic mayday my dood

And she's gonna stay 15 forever

>>3253794
What were you going for here?

>>3251034
Any ideas on how to draw in this 60's manga style?
