First attempt at a "finished" drawing

Any feedback appreciated

why did that shitter delete? don't hide your shame

>>3305551
? what happened?

And oh wow, my drawing is used as thread title image. I’m honored!

>>3305556
use warosu

>>3305591
are you van? why have you not improved? you are still identifiable (identifiably bad)!

>>3305338
>>3305337
>>3305335
Thanks for the refs but I'm still having trouble figuring out the anime look. When I blend too much and use softer edges it looks like a weird transition between 2D and 3D but when I just use hard shadows it ends up looking weird.

>>3305659
you need to mix both kinds of edges or figure out where to place the values

>>3305663
I'll keep at it until I get it to look decent at least. Thanks for the help. Worst part is that there's not that many good examples of what I'm aiming for on the Boorus.

>>3305620
I'm not really feeling the eyes.

>>3305591
I'm gonna be honest, I like everything about this excluding the face.

>>3305682
How so?

>>3305621
I've posted in the last two threads I think, can't be that bad. What would you say was wrong?

>>3305689
something about that foreshortened thigh on the male figure looks off, like it's detached from the body.

>>3305692
Yeah it was even worse before and I added some scribbles to resemble anatomy. Oh well.

>>3305688
My problem seem's to stem from her eyes. Might just be a result of how loose the lines are.

>>3305710
That's fine, I plan to clean up the drawing

I want to focus the bright values around the girl, but I don't want the city to look too dark either... how do I solve this?

>>3305591
I like it but the eyes are too big and close to each other, IMO


>>3305689
That dude's shoulders are fucking HUEG

>>3305723
Add lights in the windows.

>>3305724
Yeah, he ended up looking a bit funny.

>>3305723

yilx? your stuff is a big inspiration

how old are you?

>>3305723

also, how do you draw these buildings and landscapes ? photobashing?

>>3305779
>>3305786
I'm 28 this year and I lay out the main blocks first then it's a mix of drawing/photos for the 'texture'

>>3305731
I'm afraid those might become distracting.

Someone said in the last thread to do some line work before that it will help, and it really helps a lot! Thanks for the tip anon.

>>3305845
>polishing turds is a meme i swear guize

>>3305845
My dude. You seriously. Need. To learn. Some fucking anatomy. At least the basic proportions and the possible shapes of virtually every joint. Only then you can start drawing such complex poses from imagination, and if you do so, post them in /beg/ first.

Just fucking compare your drawing to >>3305663, or >>3305337, or >>3305338. I'd normally redline even really shitty pictures when I criticize them, but this one is unsalvageable, and I don't care for this character enough to prove my point by drawing it from the scratch. For fuck's sake, the only things that are remotely bearable is the hair and the fact that the eyes are positioned like they should be.

>>3305845

jesus christ

>>3305734

>>3305845
Line work really did help. Try studying some anatomy and figure drawing and then draw it again, you'll probably surprised how much it improves.

>>3305930
What's going on with her head and the collar region in your pic?

>>3305894
Not him, but how does one tell the difference between simple and complex poses?

>>3305937
Don't see much other than her ribcage pointing a bit wrong, guess I stared myself blind at it.

>>3305692
I think it's the knee.

>>3305845
Lmao, and I thought I was bad

>>3305930
Why do your lines look so fucking blurry?

Great forms though. Blog?

>>3305966
I sometimes (attempt to) paint and I stay on 25% flow since I'm afraid I'll forget it on 100% otherwise. I also draw pretty zoomed out so I keep forgetting how sloppy it looks at bigger resolutions. Also lazy and won't clean my shit up etc
Thank you. fuuka2rin on twitter

>>3305930
Thanks for the tip!
I just started drawning last week, so I really don't know everything yet. I'm reading and studying some loomis and hampton too, but I like trying to do some animu-esque things too, so I just give sometime for both things.

>>3305938
Simple poses are what Nsio shows here as examples of Level 0 through 2nd Mastery. I'd define them as poses shown from standard angles, without bending joints so that they visually deform (like what happens if you raise your arms to scratch your head or tie your hair in a tail), and lacking distinct motion.

>>3305939
I see a strangely shaped head, weird-looking face (although not the weirdest I have seen from you; perhaps I'm getting used to your pics?), and strangely positioned neck, and the outlines don't read well since the lineart is so unclean. Can you draw the outlines of her neck and skull in blue and on another layer (then disable the underlying layer and see if you've got any errors first)?

And yes, as we have already mentioned to you multiple times, you definitely should use neater brushes. My experience says that unless you stop using a blurry brush, you'll always be nagged about your pics being blurry.

>>3305994
Yeah. Don't be afraid to do things that you like. I like drawing stupid OCs and right now I want to understand form and edge control so I'm using this brush that lets me twist it to get broad strokes like when you're using a pencil, and I try to imply light on my characters in a believable way. I feel like I learn a lot about form and I'm still drawing the things I want to draw.

>>3306100
So you're using the brush tilt feature? Afaik that's not supported on my regular Intuos sadly.

>>3306100
(Not implying that all characters I post are OCs, of course)

>>3306099
I think that this is what I wanted to show. Alignment/foreshortening stuff aside, I ended up neglecting line weight so it's a mess around her neck.

>>3306110
I have an Intuos Pro L, don't really know the specs but my brush reacts when I twist it yeah.

>>3306115
Haha holy shit I even fucked myself over with the line weight. Hope the colors make sense at this point.

>>3306099
Oh neat, thank you very much! Sorry for such an obvious question, I'm still a beginner when it comes to drawn art. I should just consider "beginner" poses to be more neutral in position then. Though, should I also assume that certain parts of the body could be neutral as opposed to others, right?

>>3305845
Nani the fuck are you doing?

>>3306120
Yes. If I understand you correctly, the least "neutral parts" are legs (if you bother to draw all of their muscles correctly), feet, and hands. The most neutral parts are the torso, head, and limbs if the latter are simplified to the extent when they become cylinders.

>>3306119
I'm pretty sure this is impossible. Neck rotation does not affect the ribcage. Here's how I see it.

>>3306147
That makes sense because the legs are always supporting weight (even when sitting) and the hands/feet are naturally their own beast. What I'm getting is that It pretty much just boils down to the distribution of weight then. But anyway, thank you very much for the tips!

>>3306100

>>3306147
Will consider tomorrow with a clear head, thanks dood

>>3305845

>>3306209
don't sexualize the pipimi

>>3306221

>>3306147
The term for what you're talking about is "center of mass". It shifts, according to the position of the body, and it's up to the artist to capture that, to make the drawing look more credible and realistic. It's a very common thing to work on in life study courses, with models. You're on the right track, you just don't have the terminology for it.

Something to think about, feet don't exist outside of that. Feet are important. How the feet are placed can finish a drawing, or ruin it - the feet "ground" the figure, our eyes look for cues for volume, scale, and perspective, and the feet are part of that. That's why you should work from live models, and not photos, because you get the whole figure, and a lot of "reference" (Around here, porn) doesn't have the whole figure.

>>3306209
Too many tangents

>>3306240
Beat me to it

>>3306240
you've never watched the actual show have you anon??

>>3306279
people who do fan art of shows they did not watch piss me off the most

>>3306279
how does watching a show have anything to do with bad tangents?

>>3305591

except bowser's hand, v nice.

boring

I got elastic bands keepin' my shoes on
Got those swollen-hand blues
I got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from
I've got electric light
And I've got second sight
I got amazing powers of observation
And that is how I know
When I try to get through
On the telephone to you
There'll be nobody home

>>3306427

delicious

>>3306404

as my dad always tell me
"fucking stop there wanker its good and any more - just stop its good"

I've spent way too much time on reworking the damn pose and i'm still not too happy with it. Oh well; gotta just get this finished to start working on the next one.

It seems to be either "Real G-Pen" or "Textured pen" from the standard CSP set since 1.71. I don't know why people seem to like it though, as I'm more of a painter and it makes coloring more difficult.

why does mine look so bad T_T

The pose isn't appealing to begin with

I like how this one turned out.

>>3306946

we study loomis, vilppu, the rest not becuase its important to know anatomy, or that it hinders beauty, but because when you don't know anatomy, your beauty, it's there...but *sigh* what a shame dahling

better luck next time

>>3307306
I would honestly advise learning how to animate because it's harder to cheat things like perspective in animation; you can't for example, change a character's design mid shot to make it easier to draw from that angle

You're using a lot of cheats that I don't think you're even aware of, simply because you don't see your art in motion

>>3307342
You're probably right. Thank you.

>mfw going full circle with shitty attempts only to realize that simpler cell-shading looked best all along

Yeah, I think I'll stick with this. Soon I will finally be free.

>>3307306
Never mind the girl itself, who looks alright-ish, but why did you put a fucking texture on everything? It's grating to the eyes.

>>3307281
Pretty

>>3307196
Feels like you don't really know what you're doing and you can't decide whether you wanna have it be cellshaded or 2D. The bloom on her face and shirt looks especially off-putting.

>>3307162
There's a weird disconnect between brushes that look like they're supposed to emulate traditional media and brushes that almost look like abstract 3D models or stock photos of smoke. The strands of her hair closest to the bird and the things floating around her arms are the biggest culprits. The background is also pretty meh. I also feel like the neck might be a tad bit too long.

>>3307403

oh my, thank you! I'm fond of saving and studying images with cool dynamic poses, usually from Yoshinari's artbooks and similar artists. That might help. I'm still bad at full adult poses so my comfort zone is currently drawing chibi and younger characters

I understand where you are coming from but I did not expect the gap looked overtly weird, I started that piece thinking it would remain as a monochrome piece but I'm now leaning towards a full colored well rendered piece, hence why the bg elements are just fillers.

Face is way too large, there's no proportions in that relative to the skull at all.

>>3307476
The head on this character didn't seem quite right, so I tried to redline it. Although I failed at it, I think it could benefit from some better construction.

any advice / tips?

I'd like to hear out your thoughts on her face, the colors, and how well the composition (intent) reads.

I dont like how straight the nose is, but theres nothing to give advice on really. finish it?

>>3307793

checked my brush again and it's the exact same one as the link, with a few modifications from http://badbrushblog.tumblr.com/post/125928581359/beating-brush-lag-in-manga-studio to reduce the brush lag

Do this kind of coloring have a name? Like brown lines and blacks mixed with brown and purple and somehow beige skin? I want to learn how to color like this.

>>3307793
Reconsider the hand and the finger joints. Looks like there's a band-aid around her knuckle to me.

>>3307992
>I want to learn how to color like this.
that's literally just colored lineart. nothing to it, just lock the lineart layer and color over it.

>>3307791
oh man, this is looking so good. The motion is great and you've done very well on the foreshortening, though I would tweak that leg a little, it looks a bit wonky on the bottom bit. Otherwise REALLY nice.

>>3307793
lines/anatomy look great so far, but maybe try making her hair dangle a bit farther away from her face? Her face is at a decent angle so I think it would hang more than that.

finished this last night, I hope you like

>>3307833
>>3307845
her nose is meant to be a bit flat, but do let me know if you have any ideas for it to be improved without taking that away from the end product! i'm a bit worried it'll be unproportional to the rest of her face if i made it much smaller.

>>3307998
i don't draw enough to be popular but i'm flattered all the same.

>>3307999
which knuckle? there are some bandaids on her fingers but i'm guessing this is one there wasn't meant to be one on.

>>3308021
that makes sense! i'll fix it, or at least add a few more strands to imply the hair is still falling into place.

>>3308036
Here's what I mean.

>>3307996
>How to spot a virgin in a few easy steps: the exmaple post

>>3308047
not every female has hair as long as her pubes.

>>3308047
If you imply that's the hair that grow to the sides of the vagina, I have seen enough naked females to know that they don't work this way.

>>3308054
ass hair obviously

fucking shave those pubes, man

You're not a girl and if you were you'd have no saying whatsoever about this
"even girls" what the fuck are you even talking about. The picture wasn't even about a man

>>3308072
the fuck are you even defending here?
All I'm pointing is >>3307992's ass hairs are not sexy

to answer >>3307992, fill your lineart with red/brown color, duplicate it and set to overlay. That should blend nicely

>>3308081
I'm not defending anything, get some reading comprehension, I was just calling out the first guy for being a pussy

>>3308088
Since when having standards means you're a pussy? That's a kiddy way of thinking.

>>3308107
>shaving is "standards"
Porn industry standards you mean.
Also it doesn't matter because (SAYING IT FOR THE THIRD TIME) I don't give a shit if you don't like something like that, but if it actually grosses you out when its something that basic as fuck, maybe you should fuck off out of this site.

>>3308111
>>3308107
Daily reminder that Jews run the porn industry and blatantly show circumcised penises and shaved pubes to mislead and change your perception of sex into an unrealistic and false standard. Friendly reminder that Pubes are necessary to trap pheromones and attract a mate and shaving your pubes because you saw it on a porn flick would only hinder you from reproducing and you promote white genocide.

Yessssss good goy keep shaving your pubes and mutilate your dicks, you wouldn't want to catch the gift that keeps on giving heheheh

>>3308118
I wouldn't go as far as saying it's a conspiracy but porn infustry definitely pushed the shave meme hard as fuck, same with cut dicks.

>>3308107
>>3308111
Ok I'm not really involved in this myself, but can you guys just agree to disagree and realize that you both have different preferences for this sort of thing. Neither of you are wrong or right, you just have different opinions about ass hair and that's fine. Now can you stop clogging up the thread with your stupid bickering?

Agreed

Fantastic perspective. Really dynamic. Really nice and clean lines. If only your coloring was half as good as your lineart.

The background is boring and contrasts extremely with everything else. Too much red. Feels like everything is emitting bloom.

>>3307992
Just color your lineart.

The expression on the girl feels a bit stiff for some reason. I also have trouble figuring out where the guy's right hand is supposed to be coming from.

>>3308058
Well yes, they do work this way.

Jesus christ that's scary.

the absolute state.. You might be samefagging, but I'll take the bait anyway. Just draw more and you'll realize that it's nothing really to be jealous of. I won't say it's really bad, but the eyes are off on the left girl the girl on the right looks okay, however, its just a simple face of a smiling anime girl with two rectangles for eyes.

On a side note. If it's really that easy to fool weebs these days, shitty commissions must be skyrocketing in places like DA and Furfagcity.

If you understand this then forgive me but some blues lean to red, some blues lean to yellow. Some reds mix to a bright orange, some to a dull orange. Some yellows mix to a green, some to brown. Knowing this will give you the ability to contrast colors to kick off of each other and will solve your problem without the need for lightening or darkening. Lemon yellow, cadmium yellow, cadmium red, alizarin red, Indian red, prussian blue, cobalt blue, these colors come in hues as well and will react differently to each other and the opposing colours mixed from them. Artists often wrote their own color theories, it's part of the mastery of art.

>>3308686
Cause i saw it and it reminded me why i want to filter most western born anime inspired drawers from search results. You should be more curious on way anyone would save that to their hard drive.

>>3308546
Y-you skipped mine, Derek.

>>3305723
paint the city opaquely and that should solve ur problem really, the reason you want to paint opaquely is so that u can see how dark the color is and see the color of it more clearly. if its smoothed out it makes it seem darker and loses its color then you can apply soft strokes n stuff

I don't know what's worse, how many pedos there are here or the fact that the pedos are usually among the better draftsman. I really hate not being able to look at art that would be aesthetically pleasing if not for the grotesque and disturbing subject matter.

Your post just reads like an obnoxious, ironic pedophile complaining about absolutely nothing for the sake of bringing up your fetish. It's annoying quite frankly.

you can obviously see her tits. Are you retarded?
>that would be aesthetically pleasing if not for the grotesque and disturbing subject matter.
what kind of triggered trumblr baby are you? You see that picture, of a woman with tits in a sailor uniform and you first thought is pedophilia? Are you out of your mind? Whats wrong with you projecting ass face?

I feel this on a spiritual level

>>3308022
it was a good painting

>>3309388
Honestly I don't know what's up with me, something like this guy's work I can do, but when I get to the eyes I can't draw them like this or in a "classic anime" style, it feels forced and shitty to me even if I appreciate it visually.
What the fuck is going on

>>3309396
Eyes are the hardest part to get perfect, and substantially more important to perfect than anything else. You can get by with mediocre hands or hair, but eyes that are even a little bit off will stick out like a sore thumb.

Just grind anime faces.

>>3309405
depends on the focal point of the painting

>>3309396

i agree and it kinda kills me to do it but i've had legitimate problems with art thieves lately and i gotta do something about it lmao

Damn, I'm really liking it! Do you have any blog?

>>3309083
Dude what the fuck this is good, seconding that blog request

>>3309418
But at his level of skill, if he does that kind of illustrations then it's totally steal worthy for some people. It's not like he's /beg/ tier.

>>3309418
dust thou have an Embassy, or even a rothmans?

>>3309396
'cause you're not asian

>>3309427
How do I get in the asian mindset to become gud at stylizing?

>>3309423
If that where the case we would have almost every chink that publishes high resolution images with watermarks plastered all over the image but we don't see that and yet people still recognize who they are without the need for signatures or any form of identification thereof.

How do they recognize who is who? The choice of medium, the workflow, the graceful line qualities, their unique way of establishing composition and their own idealized figures and their own method of refining form with light and shadow.

>>3309412
so? then upload it at the lowest possible resolution dont fucking watermark it nigga

when do i get to draw like the mogeko man dammit

>>3309430
This is the first time I've watermarked an image because I generally agree with the Japanese mindset and find watermarks intrusive, but there are some different factors you aren't considering.

1. Japanese artists that sell at events like Comiket, Comitia, Reitaisai, and other events like it generally don't sell for profit, only hobby, because the market usually dictates that you sell entire doujinshi for no more than about 5 bucks a pop. This isn't the case at western events where even single posters(which are usually given out for free along with purchase at JP events) run $15~20 on average. A thief does not need to plagiarize an entire book or set of drawings from me, just one image.

2. This isn't hypothetical prevention. I am having issues with thieves both online and in person, with scalpers even selling some of my stuff at the same event that I am at. >>3309446
Unless I upload this stuff at ant-sized 300x200 or something these guys don't care, they'll print blurry images.

I personally believe that if someone really likes my art, they will just image search me or ask around to find out where it came from, but I've kinda been forced to do this since this is my job, you know?

My favourite /ic/ artist. You've heard this countless times already but your coloring is especially wonderful. Do you have a particular way of picking colors? I know it's a skill that comes with time but is there anything that helped you "click" faster than just grinding?

>>3309418
Shoo shoo crabby. Having people repost your art without permission (except ironically) is a surefire sign that you're making it.

Who are the popular waifus this anime season so I can draw them and get noticed on social media?

>>3309557
squids are all the rage

>>3309558
can this be any bigger

>>3309557
From darling in the Franxx and maybe violet evergarden. the only waifu matrial i know of except maybe from A place further than the universe.

>>3309557
Zero Two from Darling in the Franxx is the obvious choice. Violet Snoozegarden didn't really deliver on the hype so not a lot of people are talking about it.

If you wanna go extra meme, you could also draw the Pop Team Epic girls.

>>3309557
Any loli from ryuu's work is not done.

>>3309553
Generally I start with darker, desaturated midtones that are close to the local color. Then I just think about the main source of light-- if it's warm, then the shadows tend to be cooler and vice versa. Saturation near terminators is great for punching out shapes of dark and light? Those are some basic ideas but I still very often may randomly pick some colors then paint over it with a non-opaque brush and let some random hints of different chroma shine through from underneath. If you just put some stuff down and push it around you might find some colors you like more than what you initially had in mind. If things get too out of control there's always masking with gradient maps and/or color balancing that can help you pull them back in.

(Thanks for the kind words btw!)

>>3309614
Also to answer your question regarding helping things "click" faster, I guess the most solid piece of advice I can give is to not be afraid? It's horribly vague advice but it's something useful for pretty much every part of the process. If some aspect isn't working, don't be afraid to change it wildly or even start over. Frankenstein what you have to maybe see something new. Likewise, when putting down colors don't be afraid to put down big notes of color broadly and opaquely. I guess also don't be afraid of fucking up. Pretty much every picture I've done so far has been fucked up but the next time you tackle a similar problem you'll remember how you fucked up and maybe you'll find a better solution this time around.

Some words from Hawthorne that I found useful regarding this:
"Don't spend all morning on a beach study; if it's a bad one you can do all you know in twenty minutes. Start a new one. I don't want you to work one minute after you don't know what you're doing--better start again and carry it further; don't work after you've stopped seeing logically."

"Don't paint thinly as a student-- later you will, but there will be something lacking unless you first learn to paint with more pigment. Paint with freedom, it gives you more mastery of the nature of paint. Make a lot of starts; wait till later to try to finish things."

Hawthorne often downplayed the importance of drawing but I think even with that you can take some advice from him a la carte with no problems-- it just depends on what kind of look you're going for.

>>3309614
>>3309649
Thanks for the detailed reply.

However, isn't the Hawthorne part kinda contradictory? It implies you shouldn't bother trying to finish pieces without enough skill, but how will you acquire that skill if you're in a negative feedback loop of never feeling good enough to finish pieces?

Still trying to study some more anatomy since my last post.

>>3309673
I think it's important to note where he's coming from. He's primarily speaking from the perspective as a teacher at his school to his growing students. He's giving mostly advice for doing away with preconceptions his students had regarding art. Because of that, he often downplayed drawing and encouraged just using broad strokes of paint so that the students could separate their technical illustrative skills from thinking with paint in big blocks of volumes.

So really, I read the advice as not being about literally not finishing a piece because you don't have enough skill or don't understand. It's more like, you will learn more if you start many things and failing often instead of falling into the trap of trying endlessly to refine/fix something that didn't actually work in the first place. Once you've made it over a particular hurdle, now you can quickly take on the next hurdle in the same manner as the first. For example, let's say you have issues drawing gestures. Instead of drawing one gesture and then trying to flesh it out with proportion/perspective then rendering, you'll probably learn faster by just drawing a bunch of gestures and analyzing what problems you had with them and correcting accordingly. Then when you get to fleshing out gestures, flesh out many gestures in the same way and again, correct them accordingly.

It's just a technique for approaching your work analytically-- it's just easier to organize your thoughts if you're not tackling a billion things at once. You can definitely take shortcuts and do this process for multiple steps at the same time while working on a piece from beginning to end if you want though. Just do what works for you. However, whatever you choose to do, you should be cognizant of what you did wrong so you can do it better the next time you try to tackle the same problem.

>>3309699
Every piece basically has some point where you start to have diminished returns for the amount of time you put in. Getting things to "click" faster essentially boils down to maximizing your returns. The more you "make a lot of starts" the higher your returns will be based on time invested. But you can't make the most of your returns on just that start-- at some point, you will have to hunker down and spend time refining. The area after initial returns is where you begin to discern yourself from other artists and is the hardest part to master because of how little return you get from it.

AHEM AHEM cough AAAAAAHEM
