I use Wintab mode as well. I also have the pen sensitivity or whatever it's called in English (in the Wacom settings config) set to 3. For reference, I use a CTL-671 tablet.

>>3321623
i quite like the top left in the that picture

here's a piece of lotr fanart i made while messing around with style. I like alternative art a lot, but when it comes to my own work, i have a hard time choosing between painting, drawing, and graphic/vector styles.

>>3321784
Love the shape design (everything looks great from the thumbnail), but the Hobbits are really throwing me off in terms of pose and color.

Any suggestions on proportions/composition?

Gotta make this one fancy for daddy pan.

>>3321793
thanks for the crit!

>>3321623
happy to see my lizard in there
>>3321784
love that rock texture thing and that composition, dude

Dude that bird is dope.

>>3321849
blog?

>>3321784
Cool dude. Are you in an art school or something ?

>>3321849
thanks! kickass bird
>>3321870
i graduated art school like 5 years ago, worked in mobile games for most of that time and now i'm doin freelance. still trying to discover myself a bit

>>3321880
Man... I feel like I will never be able to draw as good without an art school but I don't want to make a living out of my art, I want to attend to a science school. Will I ever be able to produce good art without going in an art school ?

>>3321880
Damn, hope to be in your position one day.
>>3321896
Art school is mostly for building connections and having someone do the disciplining for you. Unless you're absolutely clueless with what your art goals are, you should be fine for the most part since you're not planning on using art as an income.

>>3321896
i mean, art school is a tool like any other. you'll learn a certain amount of discipline, build a network of artists, and be exposed to lots of things you wouldn't be otherwise, but you can do art without school, you just to have to be more aggressive with how proactive you are i think.

>>3321897
>>3321898

Thanks for your answers !
I'm this Anon, and with keeping progressing like that, will I be able to draw a proper comic in a few years ?

>>3321896
If you don't want to make a living out of it you'll most likely be able to take more than enough art courses in a science program. Most schools will still require you to do humanities electives if you do engineering or science; my school was starting to develop their art program into something more competitive and had a strong architecture one so I got to take two pretty good drawing courses mainly dealing with observation/life drawing and composition. We also had a figure drawing/anatomy course that I wish I had taken but I didn't get interested in it until senior year.

>>3321582
@grubage on insta but i rarely post stuff
Done with this for now though

>>3321903
speaking as someone who just finished his first comic issue a few months ago, and spent years trying to prepare for it, this is what I tell people when they ask how to get good enough to make a comic: only making a comic can prepare you for making a comic. Sure, there's a lot that can be learned about panel layouts, facial expressions, storytelling, coloring, linework, etc etc but the thing that will make you good at comics the fastest is just sitting down, thumbnailing out a few pages worth and starting the dang comic. Comics are often just a vehicle for a visual story crafted by an individual, so what you have to say and how you say it is more important than looking like the best comics out there. just my two cents, good luck!

>>3321771
Same, anyone know who the top left artist is? Or can you link to artists with a similar style? I know it's pretty common as I've seen it before, but I can't really think of anyone

>>3321771

Is twitter a good place to post art? I don't particularly care about using it for self-promotion (though getting followers would be nice), I just want a nice visible place to build up a portfolio that won't mangle my uploads.

the transition from linework to color is pretty rough. how do you usually do it, just pick an existing pallette and go to town? cc appreciated too

>>3323062
Tumblr and dA are good if you just want to upload art.

Watching someone drawing like this without any pencil sketch or other preparations makes me simultaneously depressed about my own abilities and want to try harder.

You do not understand what it means to be a crab.

>>3323526
it's not that hard anon
you can do it with repetition

>>3323847
of course I know how it works, if you have a solid enough grasp of the forms through intuition and/or experience, you can replicate them even without guides.
it's easier said than done though. guess I'll just have to practice more.

>>3323640
this is great man, keep it up

need help with the perspective, please

>>3324029
Perspective looks fine for the most part. The only things you want to fix are the creases around the hips to better show that s/he is sitting.

>>3323179
There is a weird tangent from her hair and her eyebrow which kind of makes it look like a monobrow.
Anyways love your work, please never stop posting. Btw do you have a tumblr or twitter acc?

>>3324029
The hair (the central part) doesn't look like it's properly aligned with the rest of her head, but I don't have enough experience to be able to clearly tell if I'm right or wrong here.

How could I improve my linework (and other aspect)? Scanned for colouring later on

>>3323313
Where can i find more of your stuff?

>>3324104
I dont know why but the way you do your linework comes off as ugly to me. I dont know why.

shut the fuck up yev

>>3322475
I really like the top left one! The pelvis structure and genitals looks well-constructed. Do you have any resources for learning that?

>>3324163
I think it might be the "digital" look that the lines have due to the nature of the inking brush.

>>3323046

>>3324392
The only book I've really tried is Zarins' Anatomy for Sculptors (still have so much to learn from it). Other than that I take inspiration from doujinshi artists. Most importantly, I draw a lot of figures and often try to go for tricky poses because it forces you to think.

>>3324420
And here's a weird one. Value/perspective failure but it was fun.

Anyone got any good photoshop tutorials? I feel like this could've been much simpler if I actually knew what I was doing

>>3324163
probably just because it lacks lineweighting

>>3324165
Thanks, I should find some piece with well drawn hair to study
>>3324187
nooo I thought I'm immune to that..

>>3324498
What are you looking to do? Higher concept digital is pretty similar in most programs until you get into specific tools or properties. Like blocking in colors and inking I find to be way easier in CSP but for finishing, illustrative touches I don't have a problem doing it in PS.

>>3324654
Id like to do my own concept art and make some manga/comic pages. I settled on photoshop because I figured it'd have the most support available, but I'm open to new programs

>>3324661
>Anyone got any good photoshop tutorials?
What do you want to learn?

Write out specifically what you want to learn. Then break down what you need to learn to be able to do each one of those. You'll want to learn perspective, figure drawing from all sorts of angles and poses, anatomy, character design, environment design, composition, storytelling. I've not done it but everyone I've talked to about it has said you can't learn how to make a comic until you start making one. So plan something and start tackling it. As you realize your weaknesses you'll find out what you need to learn. Two books I can think to recommend are The Skillful Huntsman and Framed Ink.

Is her head too big?

>>3324165
>>3324187
>>3324145

>>3324984
fuck off crab

>>3324885
Yeah I think the head's way too big. Some significant problems with the thigh/hip area as well.

>>3324987
much better!

>>3324885

As you have it drawn, she's about 5+1/2 heads, which is pretty damn shrimpy for a (presumably) adult woman. The neck attachment is a far more glaring issue, though. Her head should be lower and farther forward from this slightly top-down perspective. Even if her proportions were right, it would still look wonky due to that; oftentimes what seem like body-proportion issues are actually perspective ones.

You need a much stronger base in fundamentals, particularly anatomy, perspective, and gesture. There are many other issues I could have mentioned above, but the simple fact here is - and I say this in the most encouraging and non-crablike manner I can - fixing them would be a waste of energy. Your issues do not stem from a misapplication of knowledge, they stem from a lack of knowledge. Until you learn how to construct a figure from shape primitives in proper perspective, you will continue making novel mistakes one after another and trying to band-aid over them after the fact.

shit dude i don't even know anymore

>>3324693
Thank you

Source on the pic? It's got a very appealing design

taking a break on this for now so i can look at it tomorrow with fresh eyes

in the mean time, any thoughts on this?

>>3325162
Upper torso feels weirdly long for where the butt ends. Nice lines on the face and hair so far, though.

>>3322555
looks nice. needs some detail on the forehead and ears though, imo.

>>3324911

>>3324414
Is there away I can make the lines look 'better?'

>>3324994
Hey thanks, I actually have a lot of experience doing life drawing but whenever I try to put that into my animu drawings it all just goes out the window. Compared to life drawing all I can see when I do anime stuff is symbol drawing because they're cartoons.
How can I fix this way of thinking?
Also maybe should have mentioned this before but it's supposed to be a DR character sheet. Wasn't that worried about the pose and shit because it's supposed to be them just standing there.

>>3325216
It's like the other anon said, there's too much equal line weight.
Pick some areas and drop some darker/thicker lines. Usually wear two lines intersect, or a shape is moving away from you. Like for me the most appealing part is the bottom guy's eyes because they just have a different line quality. In order to achieve that in the rest of the drawing, it would be easiest to pick some areas and start varying some of those single thickness lines.

>>3325156
i mean. i'm the artist. so i guess i'm the source?

>>3325162
really liking the face stylization.
feeling like the hips might be a bit too narrow, though.

inami

>>3325162
It looks good, and the gesture appears on point. The only thing I would not is that that's an extremely awkward position for the rifle to be in - the stock is almost never over the elbow with a traditional rifle grip like that and the right hand is neither on the grip nor nor operating the action. Tuck the stock comfortably under the arm and have her actually grab it.

>>3325304
looks like he has scales

>>3325304
looks like painted over abs

tried to fix it

>>3325331
Would fuck silly/10

>>3325162
>>3325307
I'll add to this anon's comments and say I think it would benefit the gesture and composition more to have the rifle angled upward toward the top right corner instead of pointing down like that.

>>3325162
everything has really good gesture except the head/face

I had a friend commission me to draw an anime character they like in street clothing.
I don't really do this manga-style stuff ever, so I'd forgotten just how exhausting this kind of lineart is.

>>3325535
It looks exactly like the lineart you always do.

>>3325542
Aha, and what else of my work do you think you've seen?

>>3325549
I'm guessing you're the chick who drew the gym bunny girl and the pokegirl I think it was a mareep or something? That alien girl with the bow and arrow, other things here and there.

>>3325554
Oh I drew the humanoid with the bow and arrow yeah, the others aren't mine though.

>>3325557
Ah okay. Pretty similar looks between the two of you, thought it was the same person.

>>3325234

>Hey thanks, I actually have a lot of experience doing life drawing but whenever I try to put that into my animu drawings it all just goes out the window. Compared to life drawing all I can see when I do anime stuff is symbol drawing because they're cartoons.
How can I fix this way of thinking?

I'd need to see some of your life-drawing work to compare. But, and I'm not necessarily accusing you in particular of this, I will remark that life-drawing alone cannot suffice without also studying constructive anatomy methods from a qualified teacher.

>Also maybe should have mentioned this before but it's supposed to be a DR character sheet. Wasn't that worried about the pose and shit because it's supposed to be them just standing there.

It looks a bit like you started with some very basic overall shapes and then just added anatomy piecemeal from there, rather than using a strong line of action to figure out what the hips, spine, and ribcage are doing and working from there. A person's pose always has purpose, even if that purpose is just "standing here and not falling over". Even though she's supposed to be standing straight, her knees look like they're meant to be bent and her shoulder are leaning forward, as if crouched. Because of this odd, confusing posture, her arm appears to be jutting out stiffly rather than hanging confidently to her side as in the character sheet you posted. See how, in the rear view drawing on the right, you can see her arms are farther toward the viewer than her torso? That's because she has her spine upright and her shoulders back, which is a nice confident standing posture.

More than a few things annoying me with this, waist looks weird round the back, the top piece of cloth covering the shoulders doesn't really follow the form at all, also not sure about the feet, should I make them bigger?
I don't like the style of the head/face, will re do that

>>3324987
>>3325299
Nice

>>3325162

Left leg is really weird. Her thigh doesn't look long enough, meaning the foreleg had to be stretched out to compensate. I don't think it's possible for her foot to be as far out as it is while her thigh remains at that angle.

And yeah, as others have commented, it's a weird way to hold a rifle in what is presumably an action scene. Also, why is the bolt open?

>>3325337

You're making up anatomy to fill in the gaps of your knowledge. Learn how to draw a ribcage and how the muscles of chest and abdomen attach to it.

>>3325709
you quoted the wrong artist

>>3325755
Not him but I don't think so. That drawing has very incorrect muscles all throughout it. The ribcage as they already mentioned is wrong, mainly because the serratus muscle that attaches between each rib makes big humps closer to the back and the ribs form those smaller rows leading down to the abs. In the drawing it's the opposite, with the bigger forms are attached to the abs while the smaller ones are leading towards the back. The arm muscles aren't wrapped correctly, particularly the flexor muscles on the forearm and the brachioradialus is attached behind the tricep instead of between it and the bicep. In the neck the sternocleomastoid is drawn as if it's part of the trapezius. There are a lot of problems in it but they could be pretty easily worked out with some reference and in the long term some anatomy drills.

my life drawing instructor gets us to design a character every week for fun and this week's challenge was to do a DEMON

>>3325784
That lower spine curvature looks really painful.

Looks nice otherwise, although it's a very "tried and tested" version of a demon.

>>3325784
that spine though

>>3325784
the neck seems too long and the spine curvature is wrong

>>3325791
or maybe it's the head size that should be a bit bigger.

>>3325566
I love this. Do you have a tumblr?

>>3325784
fixed her up and added some stuff
happy with this now

thank u for the help everyone i can't believe i pushed her spine that much before LOL

>>3325535
Blog?

>>3325886
The problem wasn't exactly the spine (although it is a bit overexaggerated), but the hips don't follow with it at all. The image you had previously would've worked fine if you fixed the hips, i.e. have it be much less jutted backwards. In any case, it's already too late to address that so consider it next time you try an exaggerated pose.

>>3325022
Nice! What's stopping you from finishing it?

>>3325896
mostly my incapability with painting anything. i might try it again at some point with flats. but right now i don't really feel like it.

>>3325299
use less black when shading, (aka more hueshifts)

>>3324498
Just try all tools, until you know what each thing does.

Im watching this cartoon lately (steven universe) and wanted to made some fanart. What do you think?

>>3322616
Yea I google image searched it right after I asked and realized that.

>>3325951
This is Amethyst right? Love it.

>>3325961
Yes, thankyou anon :)

>>3325951
be careful anon
the last time someone made a character on that show not fat, tumblr threw a massive shit fit

>>3325920

>>3326236
looks like his hand is just hovering over her neck. Girls got no feel for it, think a little tilt of the head up would improve it

>>3326236
does he have 6 fingers? Because his grgipping hand looks like that. And why did you censor the dick?

how is it?

>>3326236
Is he meant to be so shiny? He looks like he would be covered in fur, but it looks more like metal due to the sharp reflection and smooth looking body
And considering how muscular his chest is, I think his arm isn't as muscular as it should be
overall this is shaping up to be very nice though.

>>3325886
damn dood liking the colors, any blog?

>>3326818
>>3326814
Just went to check out her profile. She's got scars on her forearm that are down and not across too. This chick is hardcore.

Does Psychelics too... I mean, I guess all the power to her. People need an outlet for their experiences.

She reminds me a whole lot of a chick I used to date. Similar stuff; traumatic experience as a kid, used to cut, mentally ill/bipolar, did weed regularly and a bunch of other hard drugs from time to time. Really hot, really interesting person too. Possibly the coolest girl I've ever met, as far as wit and banter and how well we got along, great sex too, but man she was a lot of trouble. Like, a lot. I feel bad for her, and people like this femanon, but man did her profile bring back a bunch of bad memories.

hi everyone, here's my last sketch. Should I post something more? I don't know if I can get a proper critique with something so simple/small

>>3326847
Still cool art though. Don't know if i would want to go through the hassle to create such wondrous manifestations. Did shrooms once, and i had an obsession about patterns for months afterwards, so i see where the inspiration is coming from.

>>3326862
Never done psychedelics, and I'm too afraid to, since serious mental illnesses are common within my family.

>>3326868
lmao pussy

>>3326868
Don't bother going there then. The cons could outweigh the pros. Other than being obsessed with patterns and how to apply them to my art, I also had dreams about the shroom hunting. It's like the brain rewires itself to seek out more of the psychedelic experience, touching deeply in your subconscious. I don't dream of shrooms anymore but fuck me if i know they are still spawning in my subconscious, growing like the fuckers that grow in the femanons pictures.

>>3326880
I'd rather not fuck up the rest of my life with schizophrenia cause of a bad trip, thank you very much.

Feel free to do whatever you like yourself though.

>>3326880
Got a good cackle out of me.

>>3326868
You probably shouldn't. I mean, shrooms are known to be one of the safer drugs, but I'd still err on the side of caution. I know my brother wasn't the same after shrooms, granted it was more because it was a gateway to harder stuff but it still did a number to him.

>>3326884
cool story you tampon using fag

>>3326886
I've seen my grandma strangle a cat to death cause she thought it was possessed by Satan during a schizophrenic episode.

My uncle also, who's really smart, is like perpetually stuck in tinfoil hat mode cause he dropped mad LSD in his youth. So much wasted potential.

My dad is bipolar, and constantly hurts those around him in fits of rage.

And as I said before, I once dated a bipolar girl with a drug addiction, who would be unpredictable, and would often have fits of epilepsy.


I've seen enough shit to know better than to ever touch drugs.

>>3326894
Hey man, I'm not the one ruining their life. Feel free to call me whatever you like, at the end of the day, I'll be making it, while you'll be suffering the side effects of your drug induced adventures. Everything in life comes at a cost, and life is knowing that you must sacrifice the present, for the future.

Ayy, my family line is also one clusterfuck of mental illnesses. Really sad how mental illness is bad on its own, but you put drugs in the mix and it's history.

Fuck, I don't even drink coffee because the caffeine alone scares me. But hey, I guess being anti-drug is better than the alternative, right?

>>3326903
Pretty much. I know it's genetic, and that it can be triggered by chemical reactions in your brain (or traumatic experiences - which is also an intense chemical reaction in your brain).

So since I know I must certainly carry those genes within me from both ends of my family, I know better than to even try that shit. It's a guaranteed bad decision.

>>3326902
Step off the podium dumbass, nobody wants to hear a pussy preach

Doodled this today. Found out I'm going to have extended time off in the near future so maybe I should do more than just doodle. Improve my skills... Maybe do a comic or some shit idk.

Really, dude?

>>3326919
Fuck me it posted sideways

>>3326856
woah, really nice, do you have a site?

studying / experimenting

>>3326996
Sharpen those lines senpai, and add a bit of contrast to those shadows. Other than that, it looks good.

>>3326996
got a blog? Love it so far.

>>3326996
Really love it, especially the shape of the eyes and how the sclera is darker than the skin. The bangs are reading a bit flat, though.

>>3326996
like it

except for the mouth

wassup with that

>>3326814
Why you show your boobs lol, the thread is for art just show your art xD

>>3326814
Im going to upload a drawing with my hard dick over.

Name everything wrong

Any advice on pic related? It's just a quick sketch, but I want to make sure I know the main mistakes. So far I have
-Hip too low / torso too long
-Arms too long (follow-up mistake)
-Shoulders a bit too wide

>>3326996
Looks nice, I like the blurry lines.

>>3325022
B-Blog??

>>3325535
Trump hands

I wanted to draw solid kino but can you even armor up skinny girls?

what the FUCK WHY WAS MY LAST POST DELETED??

>>3327056
Please look into making a proportionally-correct anime face. Yours is very how2manga.

>>3324199
One of your best by far. Really digging the way you rendered the hair. I'm surprised no one questioned the left eye, though.

>>3327083
>Please look into making a proportionally-correct anime face. Yours is very how2manga.

Could you elaborate on that a bit? I actually thought the face was fine here, but I've not been satisfied with how my faces look for a while now.

>>3327095
Here's an example. Variations are acceptable, of course, but you basically want the eyes/nose/mouth to align like this.

>inb4 HURR DURR DON'T REDLINE EVER AGAIN

>>3327119
Welp, uploaded the wrong image.

>>3327056
where is the rest of the jaw

>>3327121
>>3327119
Thanks anon. I tried a copy of your redlinr, still looks a bit different when I do it but I think I got the gist of it.

>>3327138
I read somewhere that leaving out parts of the jawline on purpose can lead to your fave looking less stiff so I tried it. Probably don't know what I'm doing enough yet to pull it off.

>>3327160
Definitely an improvement, best of luck.

>>3321650
Shouldn't the hole be on the left side to symbolize where the heart is?

>>3327160
Have the jawline going towards the ear. If you look at the other dude's redline you'll see it's angled towards the ear.

>>3325162
moved the gun and some other misc stuff

gonna take another break for tomorrow

>>3327570
Where can you custom make these things?

>>3327577
tek innovations then choose the right template for your stick

>>3327579
That is surprisingly cheap.

Could I get some feedback on how old each respective character looks?

I hope i'm in the right thread

Going on auto pilot with some mech studies

>>3326944
Thanks man. fuuka2rin on twitter

>>3327604
The Fool (bottom left pic) looks really nice (colors, line weight, and drawing are all executed well)
Death (top left) could use some work in terms of colors on the character, it looks a bit too muddy. And the Hanged man (top right) back ground textures need some more gradation using paint brushes to blend.

>>3327746
Also for age:
Death looks like a child (due to the face proportions)
The Tower looks like a older man or middle age at youngest
For Hanged Man, I'm not sure if that's a man or woman but both looks middle-aged.
The Fool looks like a middle aged man, probably same age as the Hanged
and The Empress looks like a high school teenager or college student.

>>3327746
I'm not too happy with Death either, my least favorite of the bunch, You're right about the Hanged Man's background though, I knew I should have pressed harder as for
>>3327749
This is exactly what I was going for, right down to the ambiguous gender, thank you anon!

>>3327041

I tried to re work poses a little I cant help but feel something is still off.

going to my first anime convention, designing the cover for my fanart book. printing 30 copies. trying to decide who else to add in the cover. currently leaning towards Ishtar Rin and Jeanne

>>3325671
Did some line art, the skirt is bothering me but it's annoying, right leg looks amputated but idk where to show the shin (it's supposed to be half-wariza)
>>3326661
moved the face up a bit, I kinda want a big forehead since it's cute but wondering If I made it too big, or if the hair line is too hight

>>3327799
It still looks like his back is moving into the pillar because his butt is already flush with it.

finished a thing for once, hooray

>>3327799
I think your major problem is the composition anon.

First, there is empty space that is not adding anything to the whole image, this could work if it all was in one point perspective since the eye naturally will guide us to the subject. But there is no perspective guiding us to anywhere, this is not bad. But if you are going to use this kind of view is better if you just center the elements, so all the focal elements (the main subjects) are centered.

Second is shape.

You are using shapes to guide eyes somewhere, the center of the image in this case. The problem is that there is nothing there, so once we look at there, there is nothing to look at, we get confused as we don't know what is the purpose of the image or what is going on in there. Add something of interest so i can have a context. If you already had these two things in mind then i guess you know what i'm talking about. If you haven't i reccomend this video about composition:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8i7OKbWmRM&t=80s

Third is connect the eyes of both of them, the girl is looking at him so it looks natural, but his eyes are looking somewhere so it's also confusing in that way.

I see you had the perspectives correctly at first and then you change them. Remember that the girl is closer to the camera and standing, meawhile the man is sitting and further from us. So there is no way their feet can be at the same level.

Last but i thing this is one of the most important is weight. And maybe this is what you are refering to. Make them look real, and that meas not standing still. Look a G Washington from Assassins Creed and you can see how they convey emotion only with pose.

That's it, i think you have good skills but you just need to work a bit more your composition, so keep working on it anon!

>>3328076
God damnit i always forget the image.

guys, help. If you had to guess, how old is she?

Nope, it does is on the right.

>>3328175
Whoops. Meant to quote >>3327269

>>3328170
Mid to late teens I guess

>>3328287
cute

she is leaning though

>>3327870
I think I liked it better when you matched the head direction with the body. It enhanced the structural integrity more.

Making the head angled differently than the body can make the piece more dynamic, but right now the direction is just slightly and ambiguously tilted. It makes it read a lot less clearly and makes me question if it's a perspective error or a tilted head.

It doesn't help much with the gesture of the overall pose either

tl;dr if you want to make a tilted head, make sure you do everything you can to make it read clearly and never let the audience have a moment of ambiguity or doubt about it

Hope this makes sense, kinda turned into a weird rant

>>3327975
looking good

kinda small

>>3323640
pretty funny, I like it.

>>3328296
Thanks, yeah, her head turned out a bit wonky.

>>3328170

14-16, doesn't seem like she's gotten the junior year growth spurt. I'd double-check her ID if I were selling her cigarettes, is what I'm saying.

Any general critique on this wip before I start solidifying the design and move onto colouring? Think I'm gonna redo the eyes.

>>3327082
think in 3d. if you're drawing armor not even an inch off of the skin, its only going to look like paper is prothecting her.

>>3327570
fucking hell dude, im jealous. how did you get to where you are right now? how long have you been drawing?

>>3328451
not that guy but you are going to stay here for a while if you wanna be like that anon

I've been here since 2015.

Just recently I "made it" and drew good enough that I can jack off to my drawings

but yeah it will take you like 3 years to reach competency

>>3328448
should I puff up her body I don't really know

>>3328418
yeah the eyes are pbad

>>3327082
>>3328466
Yes you can

just use a reference you dingus

>>3327082
>>3328466

>>3327826
top most hand is wrong and too symmetric also has thumb issue, bottom most hand needs the second segments added, right most hand has pinky start too low and different size for ringer and middle fingers and as a thumb that doesnt follow perspective, left most hand is too snaky and noodly

shading and raising her pants I guess

>>3328418
Is she supposed to look like an Asuran? Her face looks just like an Asuran in Guild Wars 2.

I can barely be fucked to do much these days. My horrid sleep pattern is seriously throwing everything off.

>>3328170
Saw that you wanted to make her older. Wider hips, smaller eyes, bigger breasts help.

>>3327870
You're correct about the right leg being off. Looks to me that you're not really showing the folds of the skirt properly, so it just looks like its sinking into the leg instead of wrapping around it.

>>3328451
Been drawing for a long time now, on and off.

I didn't really do anything special to get where i am right now, just looked at stuff i liked and tried to approach it analytically-- how did they achieve a certain effect, what are the various ways i can use my tools to emulate the same effect, what ideas/concepts are they using that i can steal and apply to my own stuff?

You know, just the usual. Also i don't think my lineart is particularly good. I struggle a lot with clothes since I don't practice enough-- I have some real trouble transferring gesture flows into clothing flows. My inexperience shows a lot.

i hate my lifeeeeeee

>>3328730
hips and thighs getting borderline landwhale

Characters all in.

>>3328757
Fix the Perspective of the facial plane of the bottom two characters. You somehow got the top one perfect but the bottom characters look like their facial features are floating above their face or like they're not on the face at all, I suspect it's cause you had their side planes covered so you had a harder time accounting for it.

Also personal gripe but I don't really like the freaky long alien fingers the bottom character has going on.,

>>3328294

Thanks a lot, anons.

>>3328761
It looks great to me, get your eyes checked. Your pleb ass couldn't even redline it

What brush setting was used to draw this?

>>3328814
small round brush in sai or csp.

>>3327041

The lower legs of the guy is too long.

>>3328469
Not him but you're gonna have to elaborate on that, they seem pretty fine for some humanoid lady

>>3328991
it shows up on reverse google image search you lazy faggot

>>3328814
used this^ as a vague reference.

also, why do all my faces end up crooked/leaning?

>>3327605
what did you buy when you started working with Copics?

>>3328814
used pic above as reference. I feel like my faces always look like theyre melting.

>>3329836
Work on a bigger canvas
Adjust your brush stabilization so you dont have to draw a curve in multiple strokes

>>3329836
Nice. You're definitely going to make it.

>>3329869
Hey, thanks. I only recently started working out of microsoft paint (dont laugh) and started using Sai, so it's probably very clear I'm new to this.

>>3329870
thanks buddy pal

>>3329454
How glorious

>>3329834
In order of progression
>I found a set of old prismacolor markers 20, 40, 60, 80% cool gray with bullet tips
>I wanted more than 1 tone so I bought a set of warm prismacolors with brush tips
>I wanted some color so i bought a bag of ~120 used copic sketch markers off eBay ($3 each?)
This all happened within about a month. Now i buy refills maybe once or twice a year.

You should buy nice paper, it makes a huge difference. Buy a copic marker pad or some smooth printer paper

God no, but here you go: http://ekaosite.tumblr.com/

thanks for the critique. redrew tons of stuff in this and spent an extra day redrawing almost every small aspect.

Great work, guys! No ratings this week (-:

damage welcome

I just finished this, but I'm not sure about the face? I feel like its a little wonky maybe? Any redlines welcome.

I posted these to /draw/ and got some nice feedback on expressions and color, but I was wondering could I get some feedback on the design aspect of these characters? Do you fellas have any tips or/and resources on how to design appealing character?

>>3330215
y tho

>>3330227
This is good

>>3330251
I really like this and honestly I can't see anything wrong with the face, it has appeal imo
Only the feet are to be finished
