Loving the psuedo toddler stuff, delightful buttses, keep at it man!

Her forearms in the left one are a little out of control though. I get one of them is foreshorted towards us but the other one certainly is not!

>>3275794
is that you, giant loli anon?

>>3275654
every chance i get

>>3275930
He does have a name, it's "Yilx"

>>3275946
You do know that announcing reports is just as bannable, right?

resisting the urge to slap on a giant dick

>>3275794
this is nice. I think the planted foot should be facing a bit more forward though

>>3275925
it wasn't supposed to be toddlercon :/, but thanks. And yeah her left arm is messed up.

>>3275846
wher- where do you see toddler there? She has a wide ass, is wearin thigh highs and even has fucking tits what

>>3276031
> toddlercon

you mean pedophelia?

>>3275654
Was trying to go for that super harsh anime lighting style but got lost halfway through.

>>3275946
Even ruder!

>>3275743
I like your style
I miss league of legos

Im pretty sure that furries do not fall under illegal but under rule violation, because i dont think illegal content is allowed anywhere on 4chan, while furries are.

>>3276159
it was just a quick screenshot, i filed it under rule violation

>>3276063
I want to punch your obnoxious furry faces. Kill yourself

>>3276171
this

>>3276158
>>3276171
>>3276174

What is it about furries that just makes you want to shit on them? Why are they so despicable?

>>3276195
yea idk where im going with these i wanted to do character design but they look flat and boring

>>3276195
>>3276198
the colors are nice, but id agree that at least the first one doesn't have much going on in it design or figure wise. The second one on the other hand looks like its off to a really interesting start. keep messing with that black and gold robe look with the high collar, I think think you have something good in the works. I like the look of solid planes and colors for clothes combined with well rendered faces/exposed body parts

>>3276191
Got nothing against actual GOOD furry artists unlike this shitface >>3276063

>>3276209
Who are some good furry artists? Also you do realize we're on an art crit board. If you don't like what you see, feel free to nudge the artist in the right direction.

>>3276171
Are you insane anon? What the fuck is wrong with you?

>>3276224
I've given some input on his art several times in the past. His art never changed

>>3276253
Care to give some examples?

>>3276157
maybe you should read the rules then.

>>3276253
Furfag speaking. I listen to every constructive criticism I get, and even if there doesn't seem to be apparent changes, believe me when I say I do my best to adjust to them. Off the top of my head, the things I'm working on based on what the anons around here have said are:

- Better construction. This one's always been ambiguous and he never really elaborated but I'm assuming he meant more proper form/anatomy. I'm still working on that of course, and if anyone could provide some references that feature chubbier people that would be great. For the past few months, I've mostly been extrapolating from lean models since they're the ones I know best. Recently I'm doing some studies on more muscular people but that's because I still can't find any decent resources for chubby people, or I'm just really bad at googling I dunno.

- Expression/facial features. I've actually been working towards a less "obnoxious" style in that regard. You can see the eyes and mouth have gotten smaller over time. Still a WIP of course.

- Better composition/subject variety. Kinda hard since I've been mostly trying to focus on improving a number of other aspects of my art (many more that aren't listed here), but at the very least I do strive for better composition. I tend to stick to my raccoon/fan characters because it's one less obstacle to worry about, but it's not something I'm planning on neglecting in the long run. Sounds like a pitiful excuse but I am planning on making that push in the near future once I better understand lighting at the very least.

Anyways, thanks for getting me to write all this up. Helps to put my focuses in a more tangible form. I'd like to see your responses to >>3276258 and >>3276224, though.

>inb4 this post gets deleted

>>3276195
>>3276198
Since you;re working flat, you need to take advantage of this fact and focus on inventing extreme and interesting shapes that sell the concept, nailing the composition, and playing with patterns and textures. Also, you could try to bump up the contrast.

WEB.M prob fucked the conversion, though.

Thank you.

Hello
/beg/inner here
I started doing digital art several months ago so please no bully ;-;
Advise and criticism is extremely welcome
Also looking for tips on transitioning from grayscale to color

>>3275556
hey guys. made a dump on my tumblr for those who care.

>>3276596
spend more time on improving values and placing key shadows and highlights instead of so much texturing (like on the hair and fur), also can't tell exactly but the head seems quite large for the neck

>>3276596

>>3275965
nice! I'd recommend making the legs slightly longer/bigger as she seems a bit top heavy right now, unless it's intended

>>3276741
5 bucks you live somewhere without snow

>>3276717
It's a whole lot of crap with the same mangled faces. Open a book for once in your life.

>>3276743
post work!

>>3276744

Sigh...

>>3276746
What I need is the beautiful SIGHt known as your work

>>3276742
you have my five bucks but what's the connection?

>>3276747
I'm sorry, you're right. You're very talented and your skills clearly without a doubt topple mine.

>>3276748
She's not top heavy, its really just a forced coat issue. I didn't notice and I [incorrectly] felt you were wrong immediately because im used to the coat style, but i now realize that her shoulder width is just too far apart, due to having a skintight large coat. But ya, your view of the situation really hit me as someone who didn't experience coats a lot.

>>3276750
Thank you for agreeing Anon-kohai~

>>3276752

>>3276284
Too advanced for the losers here, what are you doing?

>>3276754
Surely, my art brings you tears of joy. I understand your feelings kohai.

thanks guys, took break from the painting and did some design sketches tried to make them more interesting not sure if these are any better

>>3276717
How is any one to know what is your tumbler

>>3276875
I just assume the people who care happen to be the people who know.

>>3276884
Can't care if can't find the the thing one should care about

>>3276867
I think the silhouette of the first one would improve if they had a neck

Was commissioned last week to do some emotes for a streamer. I rarely do anything stylistic of the sort, but I tried my hand at it and he seemed to have liked it a lot.
So, I decided to continue working on said style. This is just some practice at clean lines for future commissions. The subject isn't anything but a place holder. Any help on the lines would be greatly appreciated.

I unironically tried mimicking dentist-kun's mouths but idk.

>>3276758
Chin looks like it's sinking into the neck. Lighting is also ambiguous. Did you use a ref?

>>3276848
Cute style. Got a blog?

>>3277348
Looks pretty uncanny, I'm thinking it's the eyes. Try making the upper eyelid/eyelashes thicker and see if you can define the lower eyelid. The left half of her hair shouldn't be that puffed out either. I don't know if it's just a weird hairstyle where her hair is mostly parted to one side but it looks strange regardless.

>>3277366
you'll always be shit.

>>3277440
y u be lyk dis>?

>>3275556

I know I'm trash but any input is appreciated. Am I going to make it or should I just give up?

>>3277466
Bruh, read Loomis.

>>3276751
>>3276741

so does she actually look too too topheavy? I was definitely going for a broader shouldered, muscular look beneath a thick coat, but if you understood that and it still looks wrong I'll change the legs a bit

>>3277473
Will do.

>>3277482
Don't fall for the meme.

>>3277491
Loomis isn't a fucking meme, you kidding me? Why is this board such full of fucks?

>>3277491
Retard.

>>3277476
shes not too top heavy imo, that implies a general issue. The issue is the shoulders are too wide. As a leaf, it didnt register as being an issue until the other guy talked about it being top heavy.

Without redrawing, this is what i mean, personally.

>>3276717
it's not even that good..

>>3276758
blog?

Drawing for a friend. I can see now that the fur is a little too saturated but that's an easy fix for tomorrow.

i did hair studies but the animu thread got deleted again

What's wrong with you?

>>3275743
Another one. Before coloring...

>>3275556

>>3278078
Is there a story behind this

>>3278078
OH its YOU! Love your stuff. Though her shoulders (if its supposed to be a she, which I suspect because of the breats) are way to broad, the hips maybe a bit to narrow but only really in relation to the shoulders.

>>3275743
This style looks really fun to draw in. Good that it has tons of appeal too.

>>3277607
Thanks!

>>3277768
pruned yet again, mi amigo

>>3277729
could you repost the assignment?

New to this kind of colouring stuff, does it look good?

need to touch up her right arm; for some reason that angle is real pain

>>3278176
>>3278611

>>3277693
I think I'm getting a better handle on how to do hard lighting. Face still looks a bit flat, I dunno what to do there.

I tried out a new coloring method. I'm trying to figure out something quicker than what I normally do. This was faster but I'm not sure about the best way to refine and finish it, whether I should flatten it to one layer and try to paint manually or edit and clean up each individual layer.

>>3278078
>>3275743
Blog?

>>3278770
What is this method you're using?
I say, don't be a pussy - flatten the whole thing and work on top of it!

>>3278842
Basically I usually draw clean, maybe even inked lineart and then start coloring it with layers. The problem is it takes me so long to get the lineart cleaned up I'm usually too drained to want to color it and if I do get around to coloring it I'm always left with this black outline that doesn't mesh with the color. This time I left the sketch rough and jumped into coloring. Now I don't know how to bring it all together. I think what I might do is go over it now with a simple but clean lineart layer, block in a little more light and color and then paint it flat. But since I am a pussy I'll probably still paint on separate layers once it's flattened.
I wish I could work out how other people approach this shit.

>>3278589
i can't tell what she's sitting next to
it looks too small to be functional as a vehicle, but it's got wheels, so i'm confused

glad... but I feel there's not enough "moe" in my art. trying hard though.

>>3278116
actually yes. based on web comics of mine.

>>3278134
I feel that too. maybe a bit bigger pelvis would have been better.

sketch for a print

Does non-anime stylization go here too? If so, just drew this tonight. Crit?

>>3279136
Your style is good enough already.
It's the nose. Make it a dot/short vertical line/don't draw it and you got moe.

>>3279161
Yes it does, the text is just faulty. We are actually trying to move anime out of alt so people like you can have their own thread without weebs criticising your art.
You are completely right here.
Also, very cool style.

>>3279161
don't worry about anime or not anime, it's a fool's hill anyways

be careful with your use of black, you lose a lot of the legibility on the legs when they melt together. i really like the shoes too, but your perspective on the front one is a bit off, the toe should still be rounded in some fashion i believe. the shoes too blend in a bit to the pants, which may be a desired effect, but with how detailed you went with them, i'd probs experiment with how to more effectively make them pop in some manner so they stand out more on their own, maybe some more rim lighting but more subtly than i can currently do in mspaint with a mouse lololol

i like this a fair bit too, you posting anywhere on the net?

>>3279117
Colored and changed it a bit

>>3279397
Good shit. The left lats seem a little too low/bulges out weirdly, but that should be an easy fix.

>>3279418
Fixed it.Thanks.

>>3279117
>>3279397
Alright I'll leave this alone now.

>>3279237
Yes!

Here, have another stylized drawing.

>>3279152
This looks promising.
-The hand on the left is too small, and the gesture doesn't look like quite like she's gripping the cloth. I'd enhance it by bending the index finger at a steeper angle than the rest of the fingers and elevating the knuckle of the middle finger above the others.
-The eyes look slightly misaligned. I'm not sure whether it's the open one that needs to be lower or the closed one higher, but I lean to the latter.
-The leg that's passing behind the sword needs a line continuing it on the other side of the sword all the way at the bottom of the picture.

>>3278868
You ever try using a Screen layer above the inks? Paint-over the bad parts in the line art w/white - even colorize the lines (apply colors over the lines in the Screen layer.) Then you flatten the screen layer with the original linework - set it as Multiply over a normal layer - for the flat colors.

>>3279599
I saw someone mention something kind of like this a couple days ago. Theirs was turning the lineart layer itself to overlay or color burn or something like that and letting it blend with the colors underneath that way. I've never tried colorizing the lineart in either way, I think I'll test them both out on this one. Thanks for the suggestion!

>>3279571
Thanks, is this better? I tried doing it myself but it actually feels pretty unnatural to hold my hand this way when I try to reference my hand, since I imagine it kind of like a curtsy.

>>3279676
That is better but make the fingers a little longer. They don't match the length as the fingers on the other hand right now. And I forgot to say that her ear and the back of her head are too low. Looks like you got the eye alignment working so try to line the ear up so that the ) curve lines up parallel to the ) curve where the open eye meets the bridge of the nose, following the same tilted angle both eyes are following so it will be slightly higher than either eye currently is. That might need adjusting but I think that should put it in about the right spot.

>>3279692
Cool, thank you (´･ω･｀)

ugh - should I bother fixing/cleaning/coloring this?
or start something fresh? Im like 60/40 wanting to drop it.

>>3279803
Finish it. I love it.

>>3279803
trash, but finish it retard

>>3279816
Don't call me a FUCKING RETARD, RETARD.

>>3276717
Just make a comic already so you can practice perspective, character design, story telling and composition. You've already hit diminishing returns with figure sketching like last year, retard.

>>3279803
fix her legs and finish friend, sorry for phone edit

Yo, I was wondering if anyone could help critique these? I've been focusing on anatomy/proportions a lot lately if that helps at all. I apologize for the neutral af poses and the lack of hands/feet lol

>>3279844
lol why are you pretending to be me? >>3279806
>>3279816
>>3279848
Alright fine ill finish it

>>3276758


>>3276782
thanks

>>3277366
tried to fix the chin and no ref, which is probably why the lighting's all over the place

>>3279866
OP here, any tips on expressions would be cool too, looking back on the sketches their faces just seem off... might be due to the lack of posing idk

>>3279397
Hawt

>anime thread deleted
>alt thread instantly picks up
You retards see why your duplicate threads keep getting deleted? Nothing is stopping you from talking about learning anime here. Literally nothing, but you narcissistic self absorbed weebs just NEED to have an entirely new thread.

>>3278612
Apparently it happened again, how long ago I wonder.

I have a question about canvas sizes, I use sai and I want to know what size I should make my meme art sketches compared to my detailed stuff

Sick day so I just went with fun doodles.

>>3280011
Probably 600x800. Or 510x840 if you wanna go by Tumblr's standards.

>>3279931
Go away you no good stinky janitor!

>>3280029
and what about more detailed art?

>>3280033
I just go by wallpaper size. 1920x1080 in my case. Then I crop if needed near the end.

>>3280036
thanks, mate just one more question. whats a good res for posting online? I use 72 or 300

>>3280045
DPI is only relevant for printing your stuff. Just stick with 300 regardless.

>>3279955

>>3279872
you seriously have to work on your anatomy man
the only thing that looks somewhat competently done is the face

>>3276031

that head rotation has me stunned, senpai, damn

hi I'm drawing this for a friend of mine. the original image is huge so here it is sized down, i hope it doesn't fuck with the quality too bad

>>3280029
is that... ratboy genius? holy shit i love this

>>3276284
hory shet
blog??

>>3279136
Ive read your comics on webtoon. It's great, and the style goes well.

>>3280127
Do you have a blog?

>>3279942
i like this

>>3279111
neat reference

>>3276284
Did you use a 3d model for this?

I dont own a tablet to draw or color, so i take a photo with my camera and put it in photoshop. I tried coloring this just using my mouse but it looked terrible

>>3280437
it looks terrible without color as well. Nose is fucked, shoulders too broad, head too small, mouth is fucked, neck too thick but i like how u did the boobs

>>3279111
this thing is awesome

current wip, thoughts?

>>3280454
Blog? This is amazing, i really love the simple thin lines.

>>3280458
thankyou anon
facebook /RegularSizeMonster
there's not much in english though

>>3280456
Head is a bit too smal and the hands look weird, but it's not too bad. Rendering could be worked on more

>>3280437
Practice anatomy more, and breasts don't work like that. Half artists can't really draw breasts at all because they care too much about sexualizing them to actually learn how to draw them.

>>3280456
her hands are backwards. have you never looked in a mirror?

also you shading is just polishing a turd.

>>3280271
Mouth is too far up but it's good. The black background always kills drawings a bit, go for grey/dark grey if you like dark bgs.

>>3280470
Whats wrong with shading on this one? Im just beginner but this looks very good to me.

>>3280474
>what is reading comprehension.

I'm saying that they should focus on bettering the drawing before going into such detailed shading.

Sup guys.

>>3280490

>>3280542
For the reason they aren't autistic enough to toggle the option every time before they posted

>>3275846

>>3280622
very tumblr

>>3280244
back at it again, I drew this for the towergirls thread and thought I should post it here too

>>3280752
very cute anon

Lots of digitalfags in this thread so I'll ask here: Is there no way to stop opacity from being affected in PS when doing the brush size shortcut? How do you PS users deal with it? Just try and be exact so you don't accidentally fuck with the opacity?

>>3280622
Your lines are always great, dude

>>3280824
what shortcut are you using? I've never had this happen

>>3280839
alt + right click and drag. Latest Photoshop CC. You can also make it change hardness but I don't want that either. I just want a simple brush resize option by dragging my pen, with nothing else added on top.

>>3280846
oh don't know about that I settle for the { } shortcut on the keyboard for brush size, its much simpler

>>3280848
Yeah I don't have those brackets since I'm using an international keyboard. Maybe some eurofags in the same situations could give a tip.

am i nipponjin yet?

>>3280498
I can think of one reason actually, not him though

If I wanted to resize a huge image down to ~1000 pixels maximum, I might either take a screenshot of it with ShareX or crop it in MSPaint, then paste it directly into the quick reply box as an attachment, so I don't have to save it somewhere under a different filename like "image resized.jpg" then upload it.

If I then wanted to crosspost it later, rather than editing it again I'd just save it from wherever I posted it then upload it that way.

polite sage for mild off-topic.

>>3280955
Considering it has a deviantart link on it, it's clearly a finished piece that the artist isn't actually looking for critique on. I really doubt the poster drew it.

>>3280868
Can you stop with the split mouth line meme? It makes me feel like I am watching an episode of Arthur.

What to do when you like too many styles? At times I like to draw semi-realistically, other times I use a manga style, or even just doodle like Adolfsson. Instead of these things coming together they've evolved rather independently

>>3281003
Merge them! Keep them separate! Draw the style you feel like drawing for the day! Nothing will stop you!

>>3281003
Same, i realy like the full on anime style and love muratas drawings all the while wanting to draw like norasuko or even doxy

>>3280932
Fantastic work!

>>3279136
your style is sick, man. what do you use for those lines?

>>3280469
Yeah im really bad at drawing people mostly preportions and stuff, i took AP studio art in hs and focused on people and they pretty much all looked terrible, hands and feet were usually too small, shoulders too broad, etc.

wip, i dunno

>>3281075
Goddamn, her body is TINY.

>>3280824
just map the shortcut to something easier, wtf are you doing. i use A and S to change size and Q and W to change hardness

>>3280932
That done in paint ? Its sick, dude

>>3281003
You could draw in all of the styles, like totally be inconsistent. One moment they could look soft and cute, next they can look detailed AF and serious

>>3281080
its not the focus and at the risk of going muh style, it was intentional. is it overly done tho?

>>3281111
Seeing how the shoulders and neck are huge, I figured it was some oversight. But if you want to go for that tiny body, you should look into addressing those two.

>>3280456
>backward hands
I can't comment on colouring because I'm shit at it. But the shading on the hair looks dull

>>3281124
thank you anon ill have another go at it.

Am I animoo yet?
Possible malicious code? What the fuck, 4chan, stop spooking me.

>>3281149
have fun with ur virus

>>3281150
Maybe it's because the original .jpg file was 666 KB in size.

>>3280932
I've seen you post around a lot and really like your work. Do you have a blog or anything I could browse through your old work?

>>3281181
How do you not know about Yev-san?

>>3281014
I like your enthusiasm anon!

Woop woop
New husbando alert
He's looking a little lopsided but I'll try to take care of that tomorrow.

>>3280244
Hells yeah it is.

What kind of anime have you folks been studying lately? For me, it's Violet Evergarden and Death March. How do I cash in on this new filter hype? I'm not so sure yet.

Not. Gonna. Make it.

that's like your opinion mang
also post your work

I really hate colouring and I really hate how I colour. But I want to get better at it. Is there some sort of go to guide on how to approach colouring? Or like tips to keep in mind or something? Sorry for the dumb question

>>3281379
I you find one please share. Coloring has been my Achilles' heel forever.

Some animes for practice without refs

>>3281421
blogu?

>>3281421
no refs? wow,, now this is talent

>>3281421
Its quite rare to see someone with this much skill post here. I was beginning to think this board was becoming a shit dump due to the mass amounts of garbage posted here at times. Nice drawings, and would love a blog so I could see more of your stuff.

>>3281468
wtf bro, i post all the time

>>3281471
>implying pedoshit isn't garbage

>>3281463
you're an idiot

>>3281421
looks like a repost from an anime
post more work to prove it's yours

>>3281492
post work

>>3281468
the good artists have no reason to post here or on /ic/ in general

>>3281421
how do you get this good?

loli sketches... so inspiring. Never change /ic/

>>3281514
post work

>>3281514
those are not lolis and what are you doing on a pedo image board anyway

>>3281421
Anon, i like it, but i have to know why didn't you draw the full body on most of them or why the arms are cut so abruptly on the top right? Surely, since you're so good you could draw the rest... unless you copied.

>>3281379
Learn to draw first. Left is good, others are quite bad.

>>3281514
while I actually agree with the fact that it's pretty decent, way better stuff has been posted recently and yet those never get the same amount of attention, it's probably some guy samefagging in an attempt to troll

>>3281494
you are proving his point

>>3276585
now we can truly see how messy jeberale actually works.

>>3281421
These are clearly copies. And yet /ic/ is praising you. I recognized those images from a mile away.

>>3281574
oh? could you post the source image then? seems like good study material.

>>3281574
why would someone lie on the internet? on 4chan, of all places?
i mean, you won't get likes or followers and most likely someone will find the original (they always do).
no smart person would do that.

>>3278113
This isn't a trace job, is it?

>>3281652
no
the sketch was the easiest part anyway

Damn never thought I'd get accused of copying. If theres a way to show you guys I didn't I'd be happy to. Don't have blog though sorry guys.

>>3281523
Good point anon, didn't think it'd be taken that way. I really just cut them off when i couldnt think of anything to add that worked with the rest of the pose. I try not to stay on a pose for too long.

>>3281693
You can record your process with Open Broadcaster Software, for example.

>>3281693
I'm accusing you because it strikingly looks almost exactly like sai's art. You might be just altering the poses slightly so nobody catches on.

>>3281716
Or someone else. It just looks very familiar to me. I'll find out eventually.

>>3281693
shadow mark ups make 0 sense.

>>3281716
Why does /ic get so mad when someone decent posts something:

>Your style sucks
> It's not from imagination
>I'm better than you

>>3281788
Who are you quoting? Because I said neither of those things.

>>3281790
That's generally what people say when someone good posts on here. Whatever, helps you feel better about your shitty art I guess.

>>3281790
>I said neither of those things
*this time

>>3281693
Bottom right looks very familiar to me, even the character face like someone from kyoani when they are dancing in the OP, forgot anime name.
Maybe you just recall it from your memory, doesn't really matter to me.

>>3281788
It could be like the time when kr0n was posting his art and he was like "sketched a girl on a subway" and it turned out to be from a photo. Artists not telling the whole story to seem better than they actually are.

>>3281798
You don't even know me.

>>3275556
how the fck do u actuallycolor

>>3275556
I think i'm improving

>>3281864
>>3281822
Just wondering guys, do you think it's more effective to just do greyscale values till I get good at it or do colors and values simultaneously?

>>3281865
Get a solid understanding of values first through painting w/ grayscale. You don't have to reach an expert level before you start using colors, but you'll find it much easier to work with colors once you know the basics of values.

>>3281528
So I need to know how to draw before I can colour something?

>>3276867
i changed their designs im not happy with the guy on top tho but im liking the other two, what do you guys think?

>>3281890
I wouldn't recommend it. I put everything into learning proper construction and anatomy. Now I draw well but rendering and color are hard for me and not knowing them keeps me from achieving polished looking pieces that look cohesive. It also means I don't really have my own style. Experimenting with it now is fun more or less but I wish I had integrated it into my learning earlier on when I was more flexible, I'd probably have learned to do some really interesting things by now.

>>3281936
I'm not taking that other comment seriously because I wasn't asking for drawing advice. I already know I can't draw well.

I'm kind of the opposite. I wish I knew more fundamental stuff when I started to draw more. But I never took drawing seriously until now. I just really hate colouring and I don't know how to approach it.

>>3281978
I always hated trying to color too. Two things helped me get more into it. Mostly getting Clip Studio. Photoshop never felt intuitive to me and always seemed like the most effective coloring with it was more based on using layer effects and manipulating tools instead of physically painting. Clip Studio has that stuff but also has tools that work a lot more like traditional media that I clicked with immediately. With CSP I didn't have to slog through painting and coloring anymore so I got more mileage and finally started being able to see bad trends and correct them.
After that tutorials, books, and studies were more useful to me. Once it wasn't such a chore I finally felt like practicing what they showed. Then I was all around more interested in color and started examining it more closely irl and in art and taking photos or saving examples to study from. Since those two changes I've made a ton of progress with color. Maybe some of that will help you too.

>>3281890
You don't need to, as you could make an entire painting even with abstract shapes and a good use of color. It is bad advice to say "fundies first" imo.
It sure helps to have a good sense of form and understanding light when it comes to shading (shadow and light), but that will come any ways with mileage.

>>3281693
probably the best artist on ic atm

>>3282018
That's encouraging to hear. I hope that can happen for me as well. I'll have to look into Clip Studio more, I see a lot of people use it. Thank you for the suggestions

>>3282020
I've seen other comments talking about greyscale and values. Would you recommend learning and mastering that first?

>>3282048
I'm not anon but I think it's good to practice in grayscale (I encourage doing fun works alongside studying works yknow? Or you'll just get bored and not learn how to apply it).

Take your image into any program capable of it and greyscale it. A lot of the values disappear or blend into one another. I have this problem as well.

It can be a useful skill to learn to paint over greyscale too so you can learn color alongside it.

>>3280418
Excellent!

wip I still have to paint. Trying to figure out the animes.

>>3281468
>Becoming a shit dump

>>3282107
I will add this to my list of things to learn. Thank you for the help

>>3282115
This is done in illustrator, correct?

>>3282204
only a retard would think this is done in illustrator

>try to draw anime
>study references
>get horny

I HATE BEING SICK GRAAHH

>>3279136
bro, what kind of studies do you do. can u post one?

>>3281648
been such a long time since I seen this meme posted

>>3282235
Don't worry anon, so long as you draw a little each day before beating your meat, surely you'll get it eventually if it takes you a decade.

>>3282252
Thats fantastic.

>>3282252
mmmmm nice

>>3282339
blog?

>>3282115
I'd say to focus on your line weight, right now it's kind of all over the place going from thick to thin without a whole lot of obvious reasons as to why; the best way to practice doing so is to simply look at artists you like who have good line weight.

Otherwise, i think it's looking quite good. Keep it up, anon

>>3279194
thing is, that I really like to opt in noses. maybe I'm not drawing pretty ones.

>>3280368
oh really? that's great!
I feel bad that I postponed uploading for now. sorry If you were waiting. things will be back on track on March.

Micron 04 and Staedtler triplus fineliner

>>3282333
nothing fancy. all I do is drawing fuck ton of anything I want to. pic is an example. I aim to make everything a muscle memory. no base line, no sketch, just draw without erasing.

>>3282618

no wonder it looks so terrible
