Jenny!

>>3360207
really liking the shading on this dude, the body looks great but I think the face needs a bit more. Great pose too!

>>3360207
I want to impregnate the squid

>>3360222
you might want to pay attention to that bulge first though

>>3360212
Thanks, I tried fixing the head up a little bit

>>3360238

still adding to this sketch page

>>3360212
Cute Jenny. Blog?

witch from tonight's doodles

I see how it is Chico.

>>3360390
I like the limited use of shading

-NSFW-
Looking for critique of this, anatomy mostly if anons are willing. I keep thinking I maybe fucked up the orc's shoulders.
Sorry in advance if it doesn't go in this thread.

Just plugging along slowly.

>>3360535
Keep it up, we need more orc and goblin girls.
You're doing a good job trying to represent forms but they still come across as flat because instead of giving each form it's own true position in 3D space, you're attempting to suggest depth by simply overlapping lines while keeping all forms on the same plane

I am painting a flower. I like to paint flowers.

art is painting of flowers.

flowers.

I liked the lineart better before i tried to color it, but got too lazy to clean up the lines. Used a pose ref

>>3360629
what the FUCK thats nice

>>3360629
Schizo anon?

Last time was posting here year ago. Zero progress since then ;_;

>>3360272
blog? your males look a bit cute for who they are imo, snake and gobbo look like bishounen almost and it's surreal to me.

>>3360566
Thanks mate, yeah still working on multiple characters in a space.

>>3360633
Thanks anon, I peciate it.

Still not finished but this is for flowers.

>>3360691
For anyone that is wondering "But isn't this old!?" I had photos collaged into it before (like the flower, and parts of the girl.) but I removed the photos and painted it all by hand.

Just so I can say I did it the hard way. So no one can complain about me using photobashing in my work. Basically, so it's more "legit"

>>3360678
I like this a lot is there a twitter or tumblr you have that I can follow?

>>3360714
Wow, thanks.

I don't have anything to share sadly

>>3360277
i have an instagram if you're on there
@lovelyliliss

>>3360692
Why do you care?

>>3360692
Funny thing is "collage" was the first thing that got in my mind when i've seen that picture.

Hey /alt/, how do I draw backgrounds ?

>>3360691
I want to pollinate that flower.

Do you have a blog?

>>3360685
i do need to work on faces etc. making things less soft/cute etc.

Imagine that orc putting her arms straight down. Look in a mirror and see how the contours work. She wouldnt be able to stand with her arms straight down. Some women have hips that prevent them from doing this but your problem is with the torso blocking the arms.

Yo I'm also drawing Darkstalkers. Funnily enough a friend who isn't into vidya happened to be drawing the same thing some hours ago out of the blue. Are these coincidences a sign of a sequel?

>>3361283
>best in thread
woah, thats not how we handle compliments around here. we shit on peoples art and those who avoid gettin laughed at feel good in comparison
next time try replying to a coupla substandard pieces and telling them >>/beg/

>>3361331
pretty neat

>>3361331

Had a friend commission me. Just need to finish up the shoes, add her shadow and iron out some rough edges now. Gave him m8's r8's but I'm hooe he's happy with it for £40.

>>3361522
How do I get as good as you?

>>3361526
Am I good? I got told to go to /beg/ last week lmao

Legit though I'm pretty average. I don't really draw this anime style stuff so I had to go away and try to learn by studying a bunch of other artists. For the colouring I kept a bunch of videos like this open in the background for me to reference from, since this seems to be the "in" way to colour anime-style stuff right now. Actually learnt a few transferable techniques which is always nice.

https://youtu.be/aGHR0dXhCvE

>>3361532
>doesn't even really draw anime but did this well
That's insane. Have a site? Very cute Aqua. Also what do you normally do then?

>>3361526
Forgot to mention, I do make use of a lot of texture overlays even in my normal work, so that's how I got the colouring to look so grainy. This is the one I used in this.

>>3361534
No site am afraid, though I'm very flattered you think my stuff is interesting enough to follow. All my regualr stuff is actually on my desktop and I'm phoneposting from bed right now, so I can't access anything else. I think I might make an Instagram tomorrow though so I'll come back and post a link later if you're still interested.

>very cute aqua
Thank you! I haven't watched Konosuba myself yet but I think she must be my friends best girl or some shit. I hope he's happy with the final product, especially since this was the rough pose draft I sent over to him initially kek

>>3361556
Wow, that's really impressive. I draw almost exactly like that rough draft, but don't know how to get to a finish like you did. Although, it's clear that you're better.

>>3361253
Might help if I pull together some photo references next time. Thanks anon!

>>3361564
idk if it helps but my process is usually as follows:
>rough draft
>lower draft opacity
>go over lines more meticulously on a new layer
>revise and correct inaccuracies
>refine, refine, refine
>fill in base colours (each section on a seperate layer so I can tweak each layer to ensure good colour cohesion)
>shadows painted on a new multiply layer on top of base colours
>create two shadow layers (for this picture I used light pink for the base shadows, and on the second shadow layer I used blue for a nice contrast)
>highlights painted on a seperate luminosity layer on top of all those
>texture pasted in and set to overlay at the very top

It's actually a really easy process once you get the hang of it. Most of what this is is more time than it is skill imo.

>>3361522
The hair on the scalp is hugging her head a bit too much. Usually anime hair has an exaggerated amount of volume.

It's still an amazing deal for what they paid though.

>>3360833
Well, that just means I can paint photo realistically now doesn't it.

Also, not often you see a girl coming out of a giant flower, so it's gonna have that surreal feel to it.

>>3360825
because people are assholes. Also, a bunch of people look up to me as an "Artist" so I feel like I need to do things the proper way.

I got nothing to show today haha

>>3361303
Left eye looks misplaced, like it's too far towards the side of the face. Same issue with the right eye, but right eye also needs to be repositioned vertically a bit. Flip ur canvas

>>3360846
You can't. Muahahhahaha!
But in all seriousness, be more specific. What kind of environments are you looking for? Classroom? Forest? Beach?

Posted this a thread or so ago, and tried to redo the arm, not sure if I quite followed what the anon said. I also changed the angle of the arm a bit. Original arm in top left. Any help would be appreciated.

An old WIP; NSFW, but Asagi's sister isn't the star here.

I feel I have something here with the two slime girls, design wise. Which design elements for both are good, and which are superfluous or/and perfunctory?

>>3361586
Good point, I'll see if I can fix that. Thanks Anon.

And yeah, didn't expect to be putting in this much work, but it's my friends first time commissioning someone so I wanted them to have a good experience. Will definitely be charging more next time.

>>3361694
Here is a more up to date rough of the designs (just did this), and actually safe for work.

I like lights
But I don't like the light.

>>3361676
I always fuck that up, fug. Is this what you mean?

>>3361703
i put on my 3d glasses but nothing happened, double check your depth

>>3361676
Work on the design of the features that are actually cohesive with the type of character you are portraying. You tend to give the exact same kawaii eyes to everything from fat raccons, to moe girls, to neckbeards like this one. Hope this helps

>>3361714
Move her right iris/pupil closer to the center of the face. Right now, it looks like she's got a lazy eye.

>>3361720
B-but my style!
Nah, you're right. I keep putting off doing anime eye studies but I guess it's high time I start doing them.

>>3361715
it's because you only have one eye, dildo.

>>3361724
No worries. Now do you mind unblocking me?

>>3361676
>You can't. Muahahhahaha!
Cringy faggot

Done with this

standu

Does Mikufag still post here?

>>3362059
Yeah, he goes by Yev-san now.

>>3361714

Heres how id approach the eyes, try "yoke" the pupils together by considering them as ellipses and aiming their minor axis together towards a point of fixation (in my case, the viewer/camera). Think about where you're aiming her eyes.

i learn to draw 1 year ago cause iam gonna attend animation school soon in august,
it scared shit out of me since my skill still fucking garbage

>>3362231

Why arent you working on animation instead you nigger. Post your bouncy balls and floursacks

>>3362219
wtf good crit

>>3361722
>>3362219
Thank you, I tried fixing it but just couldn't make it work. I need to study more.

Playing around with hair and eyes, but I kinda didn't go as far with the eyes as I'd like.

It's just a sketch for now but which one looks better to you guys? I'm not really feeling the one with the sword

>>3363420
i prefer swordless too. but without it one has to ask what the point, maybe you could give her ryu gloves or something instead to keep the pose and the simplicity while still saying she's a fighter.

>>3363432
I like your reasoning but she's not my character. It's Mordred from Fate/Apocrypha. Pic related.

>>3363435
give her armor gauntlets

>>3363420
I'd rather see this than either of those.
By the way, you know what you need to do to fix the eyes (actually the whole face), right?

>>3363588
That's pretty cool too. I might go with this. Thanks.

What about the face?

I'm a bit rusty with painting these days, wondering if there's anything I could do with my colors to make it look better. Background is going to be like stained glass so that's still a wip as are most of the gold elements

>>3363592
You've put the eyes at the edge of the face. A common mistake for stylization beginners. The angle of the nose also doesn't match the plane, and, IMO, the mouth doesn't look good when drawn with a single thick line.

>>3363630
I'll keep it in mind. Thanks anon.

>>3363598
CRUSH!

KILL!

DESTROY!

>>3363598
I think it would look more consistent with a tighter grip for the lower three fingers. Right now, the contrast in intensity between his looks and his grip is kinda weird.

As for the colors, the blue on the edges close to gold and red seems to be too saturated unless you plan on completely reworking the background or that was your intent all along.

>>3363598
That eye is fucked, anatomically speaking. Almost like I should be seeing the front of his face for the eye to be like that.

>>3363713
Not that guy but your advice made me look at his hand and it looks like his pinky is facing the wrong way. Would probably be easy to fix if you moved the nail

>>3360691
love you jace

>>3363910
Your brush settings are interesting. You should consider disabling size pressure and enabling opacity pressure for ease of shading.

>>3363713
>>3363746
>>3363740
Thanks, I'll redraw the pinky nail since that's a small thing, once I start coloring I don't make a lot of major changes to the lines

As far as the blue goes I'll probably change it to yellow or make it match the hue of the orb more, I was thinking at first I wanted to illuminate his face with it but it ended up being a little tricky for me so I settled for ezpz rim light cop out

First slimey girl I’ve drawn.

>>3364178
now that im getting to smoothing it more i might. i keep finding out i do things in tedious ways when theres easier ways. thank you

>>3364290
>>3364178
omg im dumb for not thinking of this. ty anon

progress for tonight. wore out my nib so ill find a fresh one in the morning

Self indulgent character headshot between respectable grinding/learning/exercises. It's nice to come back to stylized stuff in between periods of drawing realistically to learn, and feel like you've actually learned something!

>>3364278
To me looks it like we're viewing the giant slime girl and the fellow from totally different angles

>>3364310
green sclera, that's fun. I really like how it's bringing out the green tones in the skin.

>>3360630
Do you have a place where you post your art?

gasu standu

Any glaring problems I'm missing before I bring it in digitally?

>>3364523
Sorry thought it was already rotated

added stats for fun

>>3364524
Maybe delete the original post them.
>Any glaring problems
I mean, the issues with this one are mostly structural issues which will go away as you learn rather than individual errors, but if you're bent on finishing this one here's my three suggestions

-make the neck thicker or the shoulders narrower (have you ever seen an anime girl with shoulders five times the size of her neck? No, right? Usually the thin necks are counterbalanced by additionally thin shoulders)

-Look up photo reference of 'hand on hip' and challenge yourself to draw a more realistic take with either defined fingers or defined knuckles if no fingers are visible from the angle you select. Don't be stressed by a hand since in that position it'll be reduced to just a few lines and shapes, and anime hands don't usually have a great deal of linework detail. so instead of painstakingly copying the reference you can take your time thinking about where to put each individual line to convey the right shape. You'll learn from this!

-Are you sure you want the character standing with her legs pressed together like that? A leg position where she's putting weight on one foot more than the other, or else with hips pushed forward and legs skewing back/sideways like a 90s character, is more expressive and more fun, and out of the things you could do to make this pose more expressive that one has a good effort-to-impact ration. Do note if you change her leg position you need to move the hips and crotch a bit too, not just the legs.

>>3364524
Maybe delete the original post in that case, there's image limit and all.

I wrote a lot of words but it's just three fixes which shouldn't take all that long. Gl anon.

trying some new stuff out, im so fucking tired but i have actual art homework to be doing
thick lines are pretty fun to draw

>>3364536
You're right about the neck thing I didn't really think about that, and the hips I just sort of did without too much thought put into it, so I'll mess around with making it more expressive like you said.

Thank you for pointing this out.

>>3364551
Even the thumbnail looks tumblr

>>3364551
Cranium feels a smidge too small. I think if you moved it up a few centimeters, it would look great. Digging the style and lineart, too.

>>3364528
well, this stand seems kinda imbalanced.

>>3364551
Head is a bit too small for the fringe, plus you can show off the fringe parting more at the top.

Also, is she just looking forward or is she meant to be looking down slightly? The right eye kinda looks a bit off because the lower lid looks like she's looking down on us but the rest of the face is just kinda face front.

Also eyebrows may need a bit of work? Like, just slightly lower the right at the nose bridge a bit more?

Other than that, fuckin' rad I love the how it pops out and how simple but effective the shading is.

any tips? i think hair look off, the shadows are not deep enough or something

>>3364602
bleh im not a tumblr artist but its relaxing to draw in this style

>>3364608
will do, i seem to always have trouble figuring out a size for the head, but thank you for the advice!

>>3364832
i think i wanted to do it where one eye was more squinting so it's like that "disney face" but more evil (?), when you say head do you mean her entire skull or just the face? i have a lot of trouble with head sizes for some reason
and awesome thanks for the tips!!

Tips on improving the foreshortening and feel for the pose?

>>3364899
the eyes are a bit too far from each other. aside from that this drawing turned out great! Keep up the good work

>>3364551
The longer you stare at the eyes the weirder it looks. They don't seem to be pointing in the same direction

>>3364899
i think that the gray of the dress and bonnet are very dull grays, if you wanted to liven it up a little you could introduce a little more saturation of color, just a little.

other than that I really like the rendering of the hair and the line balance.

>>3364948
Have you looked into gestures? Looks like you have trouble making dynamic poses. See if you can push the form/perspective more without dislocating her joints (like you did with her left leg).

>>3364948
well for starters If I were you I'll start with the arm as my building block (cylinder, circles, etc) and then I'll go from there

>>3364779

>>3360630
I was going to ink and marker this one, but I just started a new draw instead...

>>3364478
Drawings are here >>3365026

>>3365024
So like, do you trace or something CSP anon? Because your stuff is wildly inconsistent.

>>3365037
really loving the concept. Though I kinda dislike the body on the bottom mecha esp her face.

>>3365038
No. You're right though.

Update from
>>3364948

>>3365002
I'll go back to Quickposes and do a couple 30 second and 2 minute gestures.

Bullet's proportions show that she is quite leggy, so I wanted to capture that in this piece. I will also be attempting a flaming fist with a few references from manga and real life as tools.

>>3364928
Excuse the shite rework, I'm quite bad at explaining unless I give it a try myself.

I get what you mean with the eye, in which case, the eye that's a bit more squinted would be a bit pushed due to the cheek and have the laugh line where the cheek is being pushed by the mouth, on the right side (like the little mark I did? Just maybe emphasise the cheek a little more)

With the head, I meant like the forehead area and where her fringe is. Her fringe looks a bit squished and flat on the top of her head, which also makes the forehead look small. I think that's just moving the top of her fringe line (between her two Monokuma hairbobbles) because Junko's fringe is pretty big and poofy. (I also poofed out her hair a bit more on her left side)/

>>3364968
Also this anon makes a point, the eyes do look off, I think it's the right eye that's badly being affected, so just double check that.

Other than that, I can't think of anything else except gimme blog.

>>3364528
The name sucks, its almost too predictable

Do you guys post your own stuff on Danbooru/Gelbooru/Rule34/etc?

I'm reading the rules and apparently while not strictly forbidden, it's extremely frowned upon.

tl;dr: How do you POST YOUR WORK without doing it yourself?

>>3364585
You're welcome but why didn't you delete the other post? Ahh well, image limit will come eventually anyway and new threads are free. It's just an etiquette thing

>>3364899
This is really nice and my main observation is that the way you have it rendered so far, the waist/belt section of the dress looks flat (except for the circle in the middle) rather than cylindrical. Like she's just wearing a flat board thing across her waist with a dent in the middle. The sleeves also, I understand they're meant to hang loosely until the puffed attachment to the cuff but something about the tops of them looking flat that makes it hard to imagine arms existing underneath. These both might resolve when you continue rendering the sleeves and bodice, iunno.
The hair...could you take the dark brown you used to outline its shapes and incorporate that over a larger area, or otherwise push the values more? Maybe use it to further define those curls falling behind her, which sort of just look like two big peanuts rn?
I can also see subtle green hue in the bonnet and dress colors so I'm gonna disagree with the other anon and say your colors are okay since it's a desaturated green and not pure gray, though it's never a bad idea to play with colors and see if you can find an even better one.

>>3365177
This is pretty cool but at first i didn't realize it was just one snake and then both of their shadows. Could u do something to distinguish the texture of the shadows further from the texture of the snake? Just some little subtle thing since you don't want to make it too busy. Groovy style though.

>>3365135
Lines looking cool.
While the up/kicking leg is being foreshortened 'into the screen and to the left of' the viewer, which is probably what you wanted, the down leg is being foreshortened just down-and-into-the void (thigh also looking a little long, or maybe the kneecap is reading as part of the thigh, either way watch out). Got a ref?

>>3365381
Get good enough to where someone else posts you shit and it'll get through the moderation queue. Never post your own work to a booru, it's shittier than you think and will get rejected.

technically I'm emulating Gauguin who was inspired by Japanese woodblocks so I can post here too cause I'm a weeb by association

>>3365394

Like this?

>>3365634

Whenever I see your work I'm always impressed by certain parts but completely let down by others. The flowers in the vase on the right have this beautiful dream like quality but then the rest of the painting is delineated by ugly black lines, which removes any subtlety to it IMO

>>3365634
I don't really see why this is on the thread...it's cool i guess, i like the weird face on the vase. I get what the other anon is saying, maybe strictly use the black lines on areas with darke values?

>>3365634
you know your work would be a lot better if you focused on being an artist instead of trying to look like an artist

>>3365654
ehhhh no draw thread... and you guys are so many leagues beyond all their "digital fine art" stuff anyways that it's fun to get involved here sometimes. the draw thread is exhausting. Lot of beginners.

I don’t want you to associate me with the other anons you received feedback from, I only added one comment to the conversation >>3365783,

I don't recomment responding to that guy, people. He loves drama.

>>3365642
Hmm, something about that foot...I just think you're pushing the foreshortening on the (lower down) foot a bit too much. and in combo with the angle we're seeing it from it looks like her foot ends in a nub. I'm not sure how to fix it (although the older blue version looks more correct bc you can see the suggestion of the ankle and 'side meat' of the foot.)
If you can't find a reference showing a foot from the correct angle you might want to erm, flip the canvas, stick your own leg out and basically use that as a reference.

Sorry to bag on the one little foot. Her upper half and the other foot look cool!

(deleted and reposted bc it was too big. although i see more and more people just posting fuckhuge images without resizing so maybe that's not a big deal)

If any of you guys have spare time, would you mind drawing a sketch of this picture? Kind of interested in comparing the different styles you guys have, and I believe it would be more easier to see the difference if it was the same stimulus.

Someone's OCs

What's your painting process? From the beginning.

>>3365857
i'm here on loan from /beg

>>3365948
why didn't this fucker attach

>>3365912
Cute characters! (Also I think that anon might be the guy who always gets told off in the drawthread because he tries start shit with everyone who crits him.)

>What's your painting process? From the beginning.
...unorganized, is what. In others' painting videos they have a way more logical workflow. I'm not even sure how to answer, but...usually...
I first define values (just two or three) on a designated layer, both with and without the original sketch visible (i try to make it clear what is being depicted even without the sketch), i play with and perfect those values as much as i can, then selecting a pleasing color range to correspond to them for the different colors of the character, keeping in mind to change hue on the color wheel if i change value. Then on to the main long part of painting where you render and 'sculpt', creating smooth transition between the values and slowly putting in all the details that were left out, but without losing the silhouette of the original areas of values that i settled on, keeping a copy of that and checking it against the ongoing painting from time to time. This is the main part of the process and I don't know how to break it down further, it's same as watching most people paint. Finally when it's finished or 'eh good enough', i usually apply some more subtle colors to large areas of the whole thing on a new low-opacity layer (ex i made some of her body slightly more pink bc it wasn't quite right before) until the colors look overall pleasing. Actually i might have cut this step short on the piece I posted, I'm now seeing some areas that could use more adjusting. But yeah that's basically it!

>>3365949
Kudos for challenging yourself, beginnerfriend.
Pay attention to where objects are in relation to one another, something which is useful in both realistic and stylized. (ex. in this one, toe his left foot is flush with the bottom of the chair leg; his right foot, farther forward, has its heel flush with that same point; meanwhile n your drawing you've placed the left foot BELOW the chair leg, which since it's farther back than the leg is impossible and has it going into the floor, and the other foot too forward.) You might want to do a Bargue plate, if you have the patience, bc it'll improve visual measuring skills. Keep challenging yourself!

Complete, for the most part. Still need to fix the legs.

is there a name on the scott pilgrim style/ is there any other artists that use a similar style

Critiques? Mt. Lady vs fel reaver.
I'm not very good at mechanical drawings yet. Hope this is good enough to be out of /beg/

first time ive done digital art, im sure you can tell. i dont know at all how to utilize the new functions available to me within digital art, all i know how to do basically is making different layers for the linework and the colors... regardless still glad im finally getting into it, its gonna be tons of fun. i just got a long way to go... (yes i know the linework in this pic isnt clean, i didnt really bother to make it so) blogpost over

Can someone help me w this. I see the left side of head is prob too big. I go to figure drawing and know about anatomy, just heads are really hard for me. . .

>>3366980
pose is awkward. The spine should bend more. Yours looks like she's just tipping over like she's frozen or something, not actually exerting forward force.

The outstretched hand, should I lower the guy in the back so the entire hand is visible? Or just straighten the fingers?

>>3367031
is me

>>3366980
this
>>3367026
accentuate the movement in extremities, if she's pushing forward with body weight using her left shoulder, it should be in the mecha more.

>>3366980
I just searched "wrestler takedown". There are others you can find.

>>3367026
>>3367052
I didn't realize how broken the pelvis and spine were, how's this pose?

been a while since ive done something digital worth posting

>>3367134
Much better, I get the sense of motion now, all it took was moving the legs a bit. Nice job anon.

>>3361992
Nice

>>3367017
shes pretty qt

Keep drawing my fingers too thick.

>>3365978
My goodness, I asked because it looked like you were struggling a bit, and I can see now that you're definitely overcomplicating things. Got examples of your cel-shaded stuff?

>>3367282
oh well, still have a long way to go i guess.

but yeah it's ryan gosling

Anything terribly off before I start coloring?

>>3367174
Oic...well, it’s very possible. I’ll see if i can find something — In the meantime, could you say what looked off about the piece which made you think so?

well im calling this done, good practice.

>>3367338
I always wonder about why people bother with this kind of 'just make features bigger and larger' caricature. The world is filled with them already, they're never pleasant to look at, and (the most important part of caricature art, imo ) they 99% of the time don't actually say anything about the personality of the celebrity in question. And they're just so ugly, no matter how much technical skill! What made you want to draw this, anon?

...then again, magazines like them for some reason, so maybe that's why you drew it. But if there's a reason beyond marketability please let me know bc i always wonder about these damn things.

Cute! Not bad for a first try at all. I don't know why you picked such a sketchy tool to outline the hair and body though, but familiarity with the tools will come over time. I like the blue sparklies, those make me think you're already experimenting with what effects you can achieve, so far so good.

>>3367017
Blog? How long have you done painting with traditional materials?

>>3367388
it might be because its a good way to capture likeness and draw something pleasing to the eye without needing the time or technical skill it takes to hop the uncanny valley of realistic faces.

>>3367422
>pleasing to the eye
But...but they're almost always so ugly! Do most people really find these things aesthetically appealing?

>>3367434
because done well(unlike mine) they distill the essence of a person, try one, it's not nearly as easy as you think.

>>3367465
If you check >>3367388, actually I agree with you:
> (the most important part of caricature art, imo) they 99% of the time don't actually say anything about the personality of the celebrity in question
...or the character, if it's a specific character.

See, that shit-eating-grin Takei and gruff Walter White do, but a lot of the ones published on things don't fall into that category, and yet people love them! I just dgi.

Here you go, the lineart has issues of its own w this one but it was literally the only semi recent cel-shaded I could find, don't do it much. (also did >>3364349 if it's relevant.) I am curious why you asked!

Well i guess you don't know about liquify.

>>3367632
Thats the equivalent of using a filter on an image and claiming you drew it.

>>3367635
Thats what those caricatures are - drawing study from photo then whooosh - mom, im an Artist.

>>3367644
What an absolutely retarded post that was

>>3367647
got to admit though, characatures are almost always ugly, unappealing and have nothing going for them but the gimmick of looking more like the subject than the subject looks in real life

>>3367647
God, what a depressing image. Sure, it looks like Bill Murray, but I don't understand why someone would pay money for this or enjoy looking at it. It's not like it carries any of his personality or charm, all it carries is his big ol forehead.

>>3367647
beautiful

>>3367658
CHRIST. JESUS CHRIST
why do people want to see normal-looking women turned into sid the sloth? and they turned gillian anderson into diego to match >>3367434
I'm glad we're finally giving mainstream caricature the dragging it deserves, like sure there's one in a hundred gems which are charming and interesting pieces but there's so much ugly shit

>>3367654
I dont have to admit that, actually. I find caricatures to be quite appealing. Appealing doesnt always mean beautiful.

>>3367656
Thats subjective. People usually pay for caricatures of themselves or their family though, thats just personal work.

>>3367664
then please, please explain the appeal, I am dying to know. (btw street artists being able to peddle caricatures of people/their amilies is much less confusion, folks like personalized things and being able to giggle at your bro's trademark weird ears or whatever. what i DON'T understand is a magazine shelling out several hundred bucks for the most depressing Gollem-esque possible portrait of a random starlet)

>>3367665
I mean...its the exact same reason.
Its okay to not like things that other people like.
I dont like anime, i think pointy faced bug eyed mannequins with neon hair look fucking dumb but i think i understand why other people like it.

>>3367669
But most people can name some appealing things about what they DO like, even if they can't explain what's offputting about what they DON'T like (I could say that the expressiveness of anime or its bright colors are appealing.) What about that image appeals to you.
>the exact same reason
Oh, like same as family portraits? But like, your brother's weird ears that you always teased him about or your wife's huge smile you fell in love with are something that would be inherently funny or interesting to have art of. I don't get why yo'd feel that same enjoyment from 'William Shatner with exaggerated duck lips'

>>3367658
ew... anyway reminded me of this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0X3CLJVMJU

>>3367679
I like the successful emphasis of the most characteristic features of the subject executed with skillful technique in order to further the narrative, mood, essence, or presence of the subject.

You don't look at a caricature of your wife the same way that you look at a picture of her on your wedding day, you look at and think "haha that is SO Sharon".
I think you're missing the point with your "duck lips" comment. You dont just slap exaggerated features on someone willy nilly, you only emphasize the features that make that person instantly recognizeable. The fact that you know it's william shatner instantly despite the fact that it's very far from a realistic depiction of shatner is in itself the sign of a successful caricature.

>>3367684
Hmm. I can understand this if you do feel they capture the essence of a person (like talked about by >>3367465). I think we just have very different assessments on what proportion of caricatures are successful in that.

>>3367687
I mean, shitty caricatures do exist.
There are no special rules, caricatures are just another way of drawing just like anime or calarts cartoons or western comics. Idk what to tell you man.

>>3365037
Done I guess. Backgrounds are hard.

>>3367700
I dont know know what you did with her face but it looks kinda ugly and not sexy at all. The nose is probably too big, but you should look into aheggao faces so that you can do them properly. Also it looks like she puked the drill.

>>3367700
Delete those nostrils, mate

>>3367664
>I find caricatures to be quite appealing.

you have bad taste + should consider trying to fix this if you ever want to get anywhere professionally with art

>>3367684
you described skill not appeal

>>3367168
>>3367418
thanks guys! i know i shouldnt be using all these new brushes i downloaded but just the defaults ones to get familiar with them, but i couldnt help it lmao they felt so good to draw with.
>>3367420
no blog srry. ive been drawing about 3 years now, but pretty much never painted before, even traditionally. i guess i could say i have a bit of a subconscious understanding of colors, but not to the extent to which it could be. but ill get there :)

i haven't drawn anything this chibi in a while

>>3367792
nayrt but normies love throwing money at ugly caricatures so the ‘if you want to make it professionally’ part is incorrect

>>3367174
cute

>>3367174
Is that one of Miku Hatsune's race deisgns?

working on a comic for my illustration class

>>3367523
Looks like you're struggling to use the tools for digital painting (on top of having a pretty convoluted process). Looks like you're mainly using a brush that has its size and opacity pressure enabled. You may find it easier to control if you use a brush that only has opacity pressure enabled, especially for rendering and blending. In fact, rarely do you ever use a brush that changes in size, even for lineart/sketching. Your coloring process seems fine as it is though, but it looks like you could use better brush settings.

>>3368152
Nah, it's based on Miku's Puzzle. I wish I spent more time on it, looking back it just looks very unbalanced composition wise.

>>3368159
Oooh. Definitely haven't put as much thought/research into brush settings and tools in general as I could have, thank you for all of the specific tips on what to try out -- really appreciate it! I'll see what I can do about my weird process too.

Pls bully

>>3368240
you know, I was going to say something about those boobs, but then I actually googled nude female body builders and, well. I don't think I have an opinion anymore.

i was doing something quick for fun at first, but now im several hours in and cant turn back. is she too big in the foreground?

>>3368287
yes. I would resize the tree and fix the perspective on the bushes.

>>3368301
and how would i fix the perspective on the bushes? i know something's wrong, i just cant identify it

Why is it always so fucking obvious when animies are not being done by a nip? Genuinely curious. What are the common differences? I personally can't point them out but they must exist, otherwise true nip drawing and drawing that only pretend to be of nip origin wouldn't have been so easily distinguishable.

>>3368240
That looks like the textures of rubber balloons more than human skin, maybe look at some tuts or coloring process vids of human skin.

>>3368361
I think youre just not exposed to high quantities of shitty jap artwork.
Generally, however, japs prefer sharp angles and visual shorthands to rounded shapes and detailed rendering.

>>3368361
The western cartoons in your brain leak into your animu

>>3366901

Aw ok

>>3368380
Don't neglect your skull studies

>>3368361
I think a big part is that there’s just a culturally-instilled quality filter where from birth people are taught to be critical of their own efforts and only share them publicly once a certain amount of polish is reached.
What do you think of ONE’s art btw, does it fit well into this view? (pic related, MP100 early page) I feel like he uninstalled that filter somehow because of confidence in his story and humor

>>3368380
>that boxed female torso perspective practice
i’d bet money some gurofag is going to envision as a literal torso and fap to it

>>3368341
decide where the horizon line/eye level of the viewer is and stick to it.

moving on to colour nao

>>3368386
Might be because I am already familiar with MP100 but it still feels like a normal japanese manga to me.

>>3368435
Very boring static composition.

>>3368442
not a critique. have my (you)

>>3368445
Just because you dont like it doesnt mean it isnt a valid critique. A vertical rectangle is one of the least dynamic gestural compositions you could have.

>>3368384

>>3368450
wasn't going for gesture. just a simple cute girl headshot. won't look as static once i slap some colours on

>>3368462
Attempting to be funny doesn't help you improve your art.

>>3368450
wasn't going for gesture. just a simple cute girl headshot. won't look as static once i slap some colours on. why not point out how wonky the pupils are or how i obviously messed up one of the ears; you know things that actually matter.

>>3368473
Bullshit, you didn't convince me, let me see your real warface.

>>3368480
Alright pissy pants do whatever you want I dont give a fuck honestly

>>3368473
The word youre looking for is passive aggressive
Which he displays most eloquently here
>>3368482

>>3368488
Not him, I'm just passing by.

>>3368480
Psst, nayrt but you can keep the exact same drawing and still improve the composition by just moving it/changing its size in the canvas a bit. I consider this even when just drawing something very simple, most intermediate-and-forwards ppl do, out of habit and to reinforce your comp skills

>>3367140
Love it. What brush are you using?

>>3368543
what the heck is nayrt?

>>3361689
Good job, you went as far as tracing the first arm in the right corner too... really a good job.
And nice filename, you really thought nobody would notice it?

And ofc, kys

>>3361689
>>3368599
I thought nobody ain't tracing on this general wtf /ic/ you lied to me

>>3368153
would appreciate crit if anyones down, i stopped drawing for a while and am trying to get back into the swing of things

>>3368089
you make the little cutest things ever, so adorable jesus fuck a-aaaa-aaAAH

>>3367661
Back in the day, when visual media was actually a real commodity and going to the movies a real treat, seeing famous celebs faces all fucked up was a real kick.
now of course we just don't get the joke.

>>3368599
oh shiiiitt
I was (one of the?) anon(s) who critted the arm when this person posted the old version, now it makes sense why it seemed like they didn't really know what to make of arm structure even though they had drawn an almost-correct-looking one.

>>3368604
>>3368630
This disgusts me. Why are people this dumb? Especially the second anon who gave shit advice.

>>3368637
...me? what'd i do wrong, man? (my crit/advice doesn't have anything to do with what they changed, it was basically "her arm looks like it has three joints".) i didn't know it was traced, i see work and crit it. the dumb one is the tracer who expected to get away with it forever

>>3368022
i wouldn't consider a street characaturist to be professional but w/e

>>3368549

What team

if im mini, we all die in our sleep tonight

What the fuck are tall talkimg about

Assuming your team stays constant with multiple posts - everyone just make a post, then draw something related to your team.

Never mind what I just said, I fucking hate peanut butter. Fuck this. The worst fucking condiment.

Ugh.

What is the deal with these teams im confused?

Doodles

>>3365381
post your stuff in tumblr first, wait for a day/week to post in the websites you mentioned in a different username.

>>3369276
They're just teams alone, from what I've observed so far.
4chan users can come up with their own interpretation and meanings about it.

Any tips for drawing anime heads?

I guess I won't have the time and guts to finish it for a while, so might as well look for some crits now. Which dress tone fits the color composition more, this or
