Well he got the "alternative" part just right

really has that indie garagesoft poorly built VN vibe to it

Forgot to upload this a while back.

Right arm's too short and she looks a bit chubby if you stare at it long enough

>>3436189
skin looks a bit plasticky

>>3436194
>problem without solution
grr
how about now, chump

>>3436033
You forgot one of her eyebrows.

>>3436222
Not him, but just drop the speculars from the skin. They're too strong and give the impression of a polished finish to the skin, and that's what makes it look like plastic.

1/2

2/2

First attempt at painting watercolor digitally.
Can still use a lot of work but I'm happy with how this looks at the moment.
I think I'll try saturating my colors a bit more or making them more opaque next time.

>>3436479
Is this an OC?

>>3436497
It's Filia from Skullgirls.
Didn't think the game was that dead.

>>3436479
Are you that person who did Aqua?

>>3436502
Nope, haven't posted in alt for a bit.

>>3436479
Her titties look a little uneven, like her left breast is being pushed upwards compared to her right one

I tried colouring the sketches from yesterday, but colouring in photoshop is hard man.

>>3436564
bells perspective is looking lopsided

>>3436161
how is this? i like the tent look with blazers but it does kinda hide her body line

>>3436033
>>3436032
thanks and yeah it's for a print

>>3436602
Feels better, yeah.

Right arm still looks a bit too short imo, but honestly judging by this you're a way better artist than me so take everything I say with a grain of salt.

>>3436651
ahh i see what you're seeing, i'm trying to have her upper arm more in line with the perspective that her forearm is at but clearly failing so i lengthened it, thanks

>>3436672
It'll probably look better once you give it form with shading, but at this point it has a bit of that T-rex arm look. I feel that the right arm should be longer than the left one because it's a bit closer to the camera.

Also, just to confirm, you're Magister, right?

>>3436679
yes that's me. thanks for the help, hopefully i can fix it

>>3436602
You might wanna change those eyes position my 02fag, something feel off.

>>3436403
>>3436406
getting a slight Junji Ito vibe from this
I like it, although your style of hatching seems to blur the borders/lines of things and that zigzag thing coming out of his mouth is very obviously 2d and flat rather than a series of cylindrical forms.

>>3436564
Pretty solid work nonetheless, if anything the only thing I'd say your coloring could use is more detail with the rendering,maybe some more vibrant colors as well. Also a fan of the corner drawings. Blog?
>>3436602
One of the few anons I've seen in alt that draws convincing anime. The only thing I can point out is her lower torso seems a bit short, making her whole body seem like she's a shorter girl and thus giving the impression she has the body of a young teenager. Still good sketching though, you got a blog?

>>3436964
Only thing bothering me is how that shoulder joint is sticking out, to me it looks like it's all bone and she has no muscle in that area. I'd double check a photo reference of that pose to see if you got it correct.

>>3437068
Not him but to me it seems like the tatoo or whatever that is makes reading that area a little too hard - the design blends the transition of the shoulder into the neck and makes the shoulder look somewhat smaller. If you remove all that I can't really agree with anything poping out there. Although the angle of the scapula bothers me a little (picrelated I believe the line that I left is actually the tatoo, not the scapula but it does resemble a more sane angle for the scapula in this position of the arm), it's not like the arm is lifted that high or anything so it should be pretty parallel to the ground rather then being at a severe angle. Also dat boob.

Overall the anatomy could use a bit of refinement, just saying.

>>3435549
Anyone know what happened to drawparty? I lost the server.

>>3436013
I get that it's sorta your thing but the obese faces bother me every time

>>3437141
>obese face
>>3437167
cool style

shit week tbqh

>>3437171
I agree with >>3437141, Magister's faces always seem way too round for the characters that he's drawing.

>>3435603
Salty much.

>>3437265
hi dan

did this last night

I'm not quite sure how the fuck did people came up with Zenobia's character design. Funny thing I didn't find it all that eye catching until I tried to colour it and use the character sheet. God freakin dangit this is so damn saturated... I wonder how this even is holding up together. Granted in game she isn\t shown in full colour all that often, but still. At least drawing this was entertaining to a degree, those chibi designs from the book give me darkest dungeon vibe.

horns with girl

>>3437279
fuck off lmao
>>3437288
>furry
no thanks

>>3437285
Style is decent, anatomy is terrible. Fix her legs.

>>3437366
lol david

>>3437374
I fucking knew it, thanks!

>>3437332
Nice, was there any specific artist that influenced your faces?

>>3437332
i really like the style, do you have any blog?

>>3437434
Not sure, right now i just always trying to draw face the sympliest way i can came up with, usually while using bigger brush to do only few strokes, or i fail it completely, at first i remember studiying and trying to draw big complex moe style eyes from my favorite animes but it seems liking something isnt the same as liking to draw it.
>>3437441
no and thanks

Practicing things.
I can't decide whether to keep the back of punk-goth girl's shirt a solid patch or make it fishnet all around.

>>3437594
I like the solid patch on it.

>>3437596
Yeah I think I prefer it too. Thanks, I'm going to keep it like that.

>>3437594
I love this. Do you have a blog?

>>3437594
I think the torso on the right looks a tad bit too short, but maybe that's because she's hunched over

>>3436264
do you have a blog for non pedophilic stuff?

>>3437594
How do I get as good as you

>>3437643
Hey, thanks! I think you responded to the wrong person but that's okay, I usually try to draw a couple hours a day minimum. Some light sketches of nearby shoes is always good.

its been a long time since ive been able to sit down and draw for fun.
how do you guys deal with colors when it comes to digital art? i'm never sure especially since colors feel like they change on different screens

>>3437663
They do. Calibrate your monitor(s). Plenty of software for that.

>>3437663
>since colors feel like they change on different screens
They do and it's fucking confusing.

>>3437665
>>3437669
any specific software to recommend? i looked it up and some of it costs a looot more than i have to spend

>>3437656
Nah, I definitely meant to respond to you. Did you study anything in particular or was it literally just a lot of time? Also give us your blog already

>>3437638
Stop projecting

>>3437663

>>3436030
Really impressive clothes but the face reads off for some reason.

redesigning an old oc
i like her but im worried she's a little too generic? iono

>>3437265
>tfw line quality

>>3436030
The head and expression both looks like that of a standing-still-and-looking-sraight-ahead pose, it just doesn't go with an in motion pose at all...what happened there? A mistake like that doesn't seem in line with the skill level of someone who can do everything else well.

>>3437719
Was this an attempt at a correction? The original had better line quality and no I'm not just saying that because you used a textured brush. It's messy because it's an un-inked sketch but the lines weren't scratchy and hesitant they were gestural, which is what you do when starting a drawing.

>>3437726
>TFW you were dropped multiple times as a child but still attempt to have input in art

You going to post your art for a good laugh while were at it?

>>3437712
how does she put her clothes on tho

>>3437726
......the 'tfw line quality' was referring to his own image, dude...what he's correcting is obviously other things.

>>3437712
I really like that.

>>3437733
He didn't correct anything else as far as I can see. He made all the facial features out of perspective from both the head and each other and gave the cranium a weird dip in the front that ruins its illusion of volume. Before, her expression was somewhat pensive but nosebutt's killed any semblance of an expression. She doesn't look like she's looking at anything or doing anything in particular with her mouth. I thought all of those were mistakes a side effect of his lack of drawing ability while he was trying to show more finalized lineart, I didn't think they were supposed to be corrections. That's even worse.

>>3437737
>current state of ic

>>3437739
I hope that's meant about him. Unless you really see anything he improved upon over the original version of that drawing. I don't see any myself but it's not a debate I'm interested in continuing beyond this.

how bad is it that 90% of the time I don't even want to move past the sketch phase

>>3437663
damn dude, blog?

>>3437748
crono doesnt have a weeb sword
pls correct

>>3437761
his has a blade guard, you mean?
doesn't really matter, does it

>>3437732
shes a demon she demon powers them on

>>3437762
no I mean its not some sephiroth sword
im jus playin tho, it looks good, you should finish

>>3436883
>>3437065
ok thank you, I adjusted more things so I hope it's better? the character is a young teenager so i don't think getting that feeling is bad but i agree she was a bit too stunted
blog is https://twitter.com/Magister_EN

>>3437141
>>3437269
i totally draw some fat moeblob faces cause i eat that shit up but i didn't feel like this was one of them, do you have an example of the ideal you're aiming for?

>>3437749
i'm flattered anon
i'm snakebells on both twitter and tumblr but they've both been dead with art for a while now
i'm off of school for now though so i'm trying to get back into the groove of things

>>3437797
Well, this one IS admittedly less round than your usual heads.

thoughts on the pose? (mostly on the legs) i wanna make this work but i think i have to switch the direction of that leg

>>3437822
Stop agonizing over something and go draw the pose a million fucking times until you get it right or buy a gun and kill yourself.
No matter how much you polish a turd it's still gonna be shit,

>>3437837
thanks for the motivation anon, i was ready to drop it

>>3436113
@explosive_art
>>3437708
>>3437723
I think the problem is I was looking at the image up close, or zoomed in. Quite a bit was lost when I resized the image. It didn't look as good as it did when I worked on it originally. I tried a few different mouths and I am really trying to push facial expressions because frankly thats a weak point of mine. I got another crit that the leg, where it connects to the pelvis doesn't look right either but by the time I was done I couldn't figure out that one either. So hopefully you guys can spot it, so Iincluded the rough draft and if you look close you can see the construction. Thanks go everyone who took time to look it over.

>>3437848
Realized this when i was trying to redline but the problem is that judging by her right leg she should be running towards us but the rest of her body is indicating that she's running to the left.

>>3437848
>>3437911
My apologies since I'm on mobile but if you bring her left leg to the front it'd look a bit better i think.. it's not a perfect fix but it masquerades the issue a bit.

Also iono if you were going for foreshortening with the left arm but if not her elbow is very misplaced.

>>3437915
The pose is twisting and not running. The shoulders in the original are much higher than where you put them, putting the elbows in the correct place. The shoulder angle is incorrect, the right (her left) is pulling towards the chin and not away from it. The other one you guessed about right but you put it much lower. The shoulder 'cones' end where the deltoids merge between the bicep and tricep on the arms.

>>3436264
gimme that blog son i fucking love midna

>>3437712
i liked the old design better desu was much cuter

>>3437933
ya i can tell she's twisting it just doesn't really work with the position her legs are in, esp that left foot
if that's the case with her shoulders then her torso is far too long

>>3437950
ya.. she's just never had a concrete outfit or.. a concrete design really so I'm trying to find one
i think I'm gonna bring the bangs back down to cover both of her eyes and make the outfit a bit cuter
it's hard to balance cute and clumsy succubus without makin her wear generic human clothes, i missed the mark with this one tho

I stop lurking for a few months the alt threds and when I come back the ratio of good anons is so high, wtf happed?

>>3436964
unless you wanna make hentai, try to stylize the eyes differently

>>3437971

>>3438213
is this your new oc?

>>3438235
No, some girl from BnS. I actually don't know her name, unfortunately.

>>3438241
Oh, and I was given a much simpler ref at first, so don't ask why my drawing is very different from the screenshot.

>>3438213
Your eyes look better here. But you still have a case of t-rex arms

>>3437848
How do you draw cloth/fabric folds so well?

>>3437107
same here. Did we get kicked for some reason ro did it die?

>>3438228
'cause most of the time it loses something it had in the sketch

How is it, folks?

>>3438307
can i have an example of a finished piece of yours? might be able to give you some advice

>>3438301
The invite in the sticky doesn't work either, so maybe it got killed? Wonder who did it and why.

>>3437748
>crono
My man. Finish it

>>3438307
That is just the brain memeing your perception that sketches look better than finished pieces
I mean in a sense they do, but only because of inexperience, if you want to get better at doing anything past the sketch phase you'll need to get past simply sketching

>>3438359
i dunno apparently it got nuked
old members should get an invite sent for the new drawparty server

>>3437797
Aren't her horns a little too high up on the head? She's not gonna be able to hornbump Hiro like this.

That's the last time i reference harajuku girls

here's a MS paint doodle I did.

>>3438769
legs look weird pretty easily when drawn. understanding the structure underneath the skin would really help. i recommend looking at the skeleton and surface muscles and try breaking down the leg into parts. really helps to give your drawing a sense of volume

>>3438747
It didn't end up too bad. I like it

>>3438782
Got it! I got a long way to go still not gonna lie, i'll go check /beg/ again

>>3438783
Thanks!

>>3438769
Stop whining and get back to drawing

when you do drawings like this, how do you decide what to put in the background? i've tried different things but generally i've never liked anyway background i've done
>>3438817
also no worries man, anatomy and proportions are weird and stupid. i still struggle a lot with fuckin knees

>>3438817
Don't give up anon. I believe in you

This photo is finished. And i know the arm is way wayyyy too long. My question is what techniques should i play around with to get smooth, thin, charismatic outlines?

>>3438978
talking about lines of this sort of style

>>3438921
The background is part of the drawing and composition. Don't get this idea of drawing a floating character in a void then thinking "oh, I have to put in some background."

draw it in as part of the sketch stage

>>3437712
i like the shoulder sleeve/collar thing. Really cute. The rest of the outfit seems too... safe? the garter belts and shorts look especially

>>3438567
ahh! i like it a lot. Not very helpful input, but i like the clear sense of weight. Also big ears are the cutest

>>3438980
pretty sure it's just a lot of patience, practice, and ctrl+z
if there's some other secret to clean linework someone please let me know

>>3439025
I feel like abusing ctrl+z is a horrible habit and that such clean lines may be the result of a pen tool instead

>>3439033
This is not true and I don't know why people seem to think so either.

>>3438980
>>3438978
Draw on a huge canvas and practice doing single stroke in one go instead of multiple ones.

>>3439033
You don't need the pen tool. Clean lines are achievable by practice and repetition. Try zooming out as well so you can see the whole image and not get too hung up on the details

>>3438486
damn what a lifesaver, thank you for catching that just before my deadline

>>3438983
hmm, good point anon. thanks for the advice.

>>3439042
>>3439025
any recommended brush? Also, should my pressure dynamic be size or opacity?

>>3437610
Thanks anon. I don't really like to give it out mainly because I haven't posted anything there in forever. I'm going to try to start posting there regularly again soon and I might start sharing it once I manage to upload for a while.
>>3437613
I think you're right too. I tried a small edit, maybe it looks like the right length now?
>>3437643
I'm not sure what caused that mix-up but the anon who replied to you before wasn't me. Thanks for the compliment also. As for your question, it did take me a really long time and I still consider myself pretty mid-tier since I have barely any polishing skills. Is there anything specific you struggle with? I could share how I approach it if it's something I have experience with and that might help.

>>3439229
any hard brush will do.
>should my pressure dynamic be size or opacity?
I'm don't use PS anymore, I think you should try playing with the settings until you find something that feels comfortable to use. If you're using CSP, there's tons of free brushes on their website, look for g-pen veriety as that's usually the brushes used for lineart.

I also recommend using a stabilizer if your lines are still very wonky when doing single strokes. CSP and SAI already has a built in stabilizer, PS I think needs a third party app like lazy nezumi.

>>3439036
It creates a nasty dependency in the long run, I've seen artists on stream ctrl+Z the same fucking line for minutes with little to no difference to the final product.

fatty mcfatfat

>>3439520
Oh yeah, why aren't my poses dynamic enough, I could've sworn things look much more interesting in my mind...

Looks fine at is it. Don't pay attention to these fags, they love overrendering like Ruan Jia and other fantasy asian shit, but can't into minimalism.

>>3440077
face colors are too grey to be against that red background

>>3438667
I feel like her head is in profile but not being seen from below, almost like her head is perpendicular to her neck or something. Maybe redrawing/replacing the ear and eyes would help a lot? The body looks pretty good though!

>>3439520
I don't know why but the colors look really off to me. I hate painting anything with almost no saturation and don't really know how to get around that. Maybe I should consider dying my raccoon blue.

>>3439586
Ye

>>3440918
I might actually just kill the saturation and move on from there. I can't find any good examples of people painting with grays/whites.

>>3440918
so pretty to look at hnnnnnn

Okay so how do i paint hair on the same layer as the face? I keep getting the hair color mix together with the face. Any tip is welcome.

>>3440918
Mind making the BG brighter? The dark BG somehow give it a creepy look.
Like he about to kidnap me or something...

>>3440974
Well don't use fucking watercolor brushes

Nothing digital ever mixes by default unless it's specifically designed to.

>>3440974
Don't paint on the same layer?

didnt know whether to post this here or in /beg/.

can anyone tell me why it looks so unappealing?

>>3441091
>can anyone tell me why it looks so unappealing?
Need more Loomis

Getting closer to drawing not so ugly faces

>>3441091
The heads are weird ovals, the facial expressions look too realistic for their cartoon bodies and overall their faces look so weird, like are they meant to be children or adults? its hard to tell.

She looks soulless...is there a way I can make her look better without starting over?

>>3441091
I think your two major problems is that your lines are way too thick and your proportions are awkward

>>3441377
make her look at the viewer

>>3441380
and give her a facial expression other than 1000-yard stare + mouth slightly open

>>3441377

>>3440326
I'm mad that the anatomy/drawing of this is so shit but the rendering is good? God i wish i was not an absolute ass monkey when it comes to coloring. Any tutorials that aren't "draw the rest of the fucking owl" tier? Vides encouraged

>>3441521
You should continue to draw in this style.

>>3440077
ugh this is so good. God i suck

>>3441091
it looks like youre clearly trying to bypass anatomy understanding my overstyling and using bold lines to ambiguosly create forms

>>3441377
not what you asked for, but i think the red backlight and the pink hair kinda create a weird vomit vortex

>>3441530
Don't give up, friend.

>>3441521
was this done with a grease pencil or sharpened crayon

>>3441194
t'is true, i still haven't started reading loomis.

>>3441370
guess I had young adults in my head.

>>3441378
should have read these replies before making another weird drawing. Think I'm gonna have to try doing smaller more precise lines.

>>3441533
>bypass anatomy understanding
guess ur right, these were trying to take a break of the gesture/study drawing I do normally, so I guess I got lazy.

>>3441611
Post the gestures/studies you "normally do."

>>3441633

>>3441638
Okay that's pretty reasonable, any reason why you're not applying them to your drawings?

>>3441646
pretty new to gestures, barley understand how they work. have no clue on how to aply them to an actual drawing yet.

on /beg/ i got some advise on building construction over them, but havent tried yet.

>>3441521
learn proportions... the both of you...

I was messing around with monster girls and made these two, i usually use more pastels so i decided to use sone bright colours.

>>3441677
I like your style

>>3441378
Thanks
>>3441536
I agree. I'm trying to stick to shades of red for this since I want it to be Aries-colored themed. I just have to figure out how to make it blend better.
>>3441521
Thanks. Mind if I steal the monocle idea?

if you're too /beg/ for /alt/ /alt/ will send you to /beg/ but if you're too /alt/ for /beg/ /beg/ will tell you to fuck off to /alt/ so the best thing you can do is choose which party to take abuse from
or you could study loomis and draw gesture or real life which is what you should probably do if you just want to improve. I wallowed in drawing nothing but cartoons for years until I realized how much easier it is to stylize once you know what something looks like in its natural state.

>>3440918
I can't paint furry heads... How do people do it? Mine looks like it's been carved out of clay.

>>3441960
Nevermind, I think I figured it out but I'm scrapping this drawing altogether.

>>3441960
I think your biggest problem are your strokes not following the form and lacking variation.

You should also bring in the specular highlights more to reinforce that its shiny fur and not clay

>>3441377
the whites of her eyes look really jarring compared to the rest of the drawing because of how blue they are. try using red/orange?

>>3441994
Strokes not following form - I can definitely see that. I jumped in haphazardly and paid the price.
Specular highlights - this is very late for me to ask but how do I determine where speculars are? I kinda just added them here and there because I literally don't know outside of very simple shapes.. I know how general lights/shadows work but speculars always confuse me.

>>3442108
Think of speculars like reflections of your light source. They will always catch on the planes that directly face your lightsource and will rest where your values are the brightest.

One problem with your pic is that your speculars are too soft. Which makes the arms look like clay and the fluffy fur look like insulation stuffing.They should be harder but also follow the texture to break them up.

Oh wow, I see now. Thank you so much!

Does anyone have good tutorials/guides for resolving anime style hair in 3D?

I'm too autistic to go full cartoon, symbol-like hair, but realistic hair just doesn't look cute 99% of the time.

I use comic pens nibs for drawing, why does the ink flow stutter a ton on paper, its fucking destroying my work and i need a solution. help.

I used tachikawa & nikko Nibs, And pilot black drawing ink.

i will post more exercises ok ?

too lazy for bows

render practise

>>3442886
Are you influenced by Houtengeki?

>>3442887
i like him but hes not a major influence.

>>3442441
What kind of paper are you using?

>>3442883
dude, that thigh gap you drew must be like 3 or 4 inches wide. The second from the left. Her hips are HUGE but her legs look just as thin as the legs from the girl on the far left.
Wide hips dont mean broad abds but fatter legs. Her abs get wider really weirdly to the bottom even though they should be getting less wide making room for the legs muscles. The one on the left looks best

>>3442895
Good old Deleter plain B

>>3442923
so just fixing the abs going more narrow down will fix it ?

>>3442975
They also look a solid month into pregnancy, I get that "thicc" is somehow liked now, but unless that's the look you were going for I'd consider toning down the proportions a bit.

>>3442975
The legs should reach further towards the center in favour of slimming down her abs. From out perspective the left leg is the worst because from that perspectivethe leg should hide a few more inches of her crotch. OR just look at a refference of how real women with real bodies with big hips look like.

Im trying to design a cute robo girl, am i doing it right?

>>3443068
Cute.

>>3443068
looks cute alright. But I dont know if I would identify it as girl if not for the cute poses.

>>3443068
>>3443089
Agree with this anon. Dunno how you would go about making it look more like a girl tho. Keep up the cute tho anon.

>>3443103
>>3443089
>>3443082
Thanks for the input! I'm going to experiment with them more and maybe give them a my life as a teenage robot look, as well as a tv head?

This was my first time drawing a robot though so thank you so much for your feedback!

(Btw is robot porn popular)

>>3443068
so are you ripping off FLCL or Saga

>>3443112
Tbh the more I look at it the more girly/cute it looks, so you're probably onto something. Good luck.

(Any porn is popular if it looks good anon, but in general I would say sure.)

>>3442883
These are nice, but something about the way the abdomens protrude weirds me out. The two on the right sort of look like they've got a case of worms or the bloated stomach symptom that happens when you're not eating enough protein.

>>3443173
>bloated stomach symptom that happens when you're not eating enough protein.
Had no idea this could happen.

>>3443175
Kwashiorkor, when the protein concentration gradient is so lacking that your lymphatic system is unable to recover fluids from your tissues so you get edema everywhere.

thanks!, do you have any suggestions to help imrove on it?

>>3443267
You're going for a cell shaded look so I suggest putting a bunch more shadow shapes. You have large sweeping shadows, but that makes your stuff look as if everything is puffy and smooth. Sharper shadow and light shapes in crevices and from protrusions will give it a better look.

>>3443277
ohhh thats a good suggestion thank you!

>>3442886
cool gloves

Something feels wrong and I don't know what it is, please give me some advice on how to improve this image. (Fan Art of Star Guardian Soraka)

>>3443234
You need to improve your edges, the image looks blurry in some parts where it shouldn't.

>>3443068
>>3443103
>Dunno how you would go about making it look more like a girl tho
By giving them curvier bod like what OP posted.

>>3443358
head does not match the bod well. If you're going for the cutesy, chibi style, try making the eyes bigger and the nose less rendered instead of the current semi-realistic face. Otherwise if you wanted a semi-realistic style, make the body larger as it's currently too small for her head

>>3442886
Idk if it's just me, but the hands look awfully small.

From a overall style perspective your faces severely class with the rendering/anatomy style. I really love how your stuff looks, but the faces man.. they really do not look like they belong. This is just a personal belief though so take it with a grain of salt, because your stuff looks really well done.

truckin along with this

>>3443257
what in the fuck

>>3443234
seems more like a drawthread piece, looks good though! the highlights seem really smudgy which makes it kinda look like a cheesy 80s pin up, like the character portraits from baldur's gate

>>3443068
cute, but very obviously based on FLCL, esp noticeable on the legs and arms. i would try pulling refs from a few more sources, and i think it'd be worthwhile for you to study something outta the left field to inject the design with some visual interest. right now it's something that everyone's already seen before

>>3441346
cool. study some real faces a bit and see if that helps make your work a little more convincing. which doesn't mean you have to start drawing realistic stuff necessarily, i just don't get the impression that you have an well-informed opinion on how to stylize hair and the like. find a picture of someone with a similar hairstyle to what you're drawing and try to abstract it in a way that you find appealing.

>>3443339
If this isn't traced then you emulated the art-style really well

>>3443529
Thanks, I do have anatomy problems I need to work on though from doing this too much

Do you know any other interesring tv head robot artist i could pull insp from? And yeah fclc has amazing robot deisgbs and i just got a little inspired by it.

Oh anon, i already follow him but he truly is a GOD

>>3443843
I know

>>3443642
The TV head is the easy part, you already know you want that. You should be taking inspiration from things that AREN'T TV-headed robots. Look at different kinds of robots, look at real machinery, look at actual TVs and CRTs and pull from those to make something new.

how do i do lineart

Trying to get back into drawing after not doing almost anything in a couple years.
I'm also using Clip Studio instead of Corel. Eesh, I'm not good with change.

>>3444288
Stop copying anime.

>>3444276
just draw the lines and make sure they're thick and thin in the proper places

>>3444289
But it's fun. I like goofing around with whatever I think would look nice at the time.

Same anon as >>3438978
I think i improved but my lines are still pretty lifeless. I also watched a sort of in depth tutorial on rendering so this is my first try at clipping masks and different layer types. Please help.

Tried a pin up of Blaire Dame

>>3444350
You need to taper down to a point more with edges and not have the lines so consistently thin.
Like what the other anon told you, you should practice with long strokes. It's like your pressure sensitivity is turned off or something with this lineart. You need a larger brush and more weight to it to make it look more visually interesting and alive.

Look closely at the style you wanted to emulate here >>3438980 and pay attention to how certain parts, like the elbow, have thicker lines where they went over it more or how the lines on her knuckles come to a delicate point. You need to just work on figuring out where it makes sense and looks pleasant to have thicker and thinner lines.

90's anime eye references pls

whaddya think

>>3444409
most boring, generic poses and designs you could have possibly chosen. great job.

>>3444411
thanks!

>>3444411
disagree

>>3444411
i think the poses are nicely characterized. sour crab.

>>3444419
>>3444422
Thank you, as well

>>3444288
P cute
Don't forget to study your fundies as well

>>3444288
That's really cute. Got a blog?

>>3444378
yeah i get what you mean.. Thats how i usually try to line traditionally.. I guess i need to find an inbetween in line weight between both my posts. i have a hard time understanding how to line effectively when needing to keep in mind that closed off edges are what make painting in/filling easier.. I usually leave gaps around highlighted areas but digital art no likey?.. thanks for the help anon

>>3444431
Thank you, I'm definitely going to try working harder and practice anatomy, perspective and more dynamic poses overall.
I spent my life lollygagging around and not bothering to learn much.

>>3444434
My Twitter was hacked and my account closed, so I had to start a new one, unfortunately. I really did just start drawing again, so it's pretty empty for now. I'll try filling out my page with new stuff soon.

How did that happen?

>>3444422
I disagree with the feet though, nearly all of them are floating in the air without standing on the ground, with the possible exception of the green guy.

>>3444486
Well, they can fly.

>>3444474
I have no flipping clue. One day, I logged in and I was suddenly following over 600 people from the middle east. I tried changing my password and I managed to delete every single one, which took forever to do.

>>3444624
Someone else with superior taste.

>>3444624
not an expert, but... the placement of the nose weirds me out and the (viewer's side) right eye seems too small. something something balance/symmetry. would say eyes should be bigger too but that's just my preference. otherwise this is pretty good

>>3444638
think you're right about the eye. ty. but I don't understand what you mean about the nose placement.

>>3444641
probably just the eye kinda breaking the whole symmetry for me. that's why i'm not an expert. good piece tho, like it

>>3444624
This look familiar, did you study from that guy who draw girls with legging?

>>3444624
I like the pose and the handling of the fabric folds, but something about the rendering on the hosiery is weirding me out. It's too jagged in the highlights, which creates a sausage skin-like texture instead of the smoothness of legs in hose.

>>3444663
Maybe he likes his legs looking like sausages instead of smooth.

went for a different style than usual but I like the final result

>>3444662
You mean Yom?

Although I do not share in his love for feet, I do love pantyhose. He inspired me to create an image of a similar style to his.

>>3444674
>Yom
Yeah that guy, i don't like feet either but his pantyhose is really good.
Also your face need more LOOMIS lad, all the facial feature look like they got pin on the face.

>>3444673
Please stop coloring like this, too much saturation, shadow too flat.
+ with harsh light it look like plastic instead.

>>3444684
is this more suited to your tastes

>>3444711
looks off

>>3444774
is this your first time giving feedback or are you just bad at it

>>3444779
jacket looks as if you cutted it out off a magazine.

>>3444711
It's better but the shadow still shit because you still have't define it correctly, some place too muddy, some place too harsh.
Also the light on the jacket is too random and blurry making it like this guys said >>3444792

>>3444803
I see, I'll work on it for next time

Rate my witch. Original character

Nothing I draw ever seems to satisfy me anymore .
I can't even keep faces consistent

>>3444937
yikes

just a snek

>>3444663
It's because the highlights don't accurately portray the shape and 3-D nature of the legs. The leg closest to the camera is drawn quite flatly, and the highlights wrapping around the knee don't help. The tights are also a warm tone which makes it look like meat. You don't want to wear a warm toned hose with a cool shirt anyway.
There are some other areas that appear flat, the face is one of them, it just doesn't look like a believable face, and that's something you have to notice and correct on your own over time. Understand where the bones in the skull, cartilage, and soft tissue protrude outward and those will be your highlights. Combine with shadows to create depth in the face.
Your skirt gets a bit flat across the stomach. It's not too noticeable, but some of your creases go straight diagonally across, which makes it look more like a box than a body. Just make slight curves in the creases to follow the body's contours.
Your shirt is also a bit flat in the sense that there isn't as much depth as the skirt or the pantyhose. You aren't going dark enough in the shirt or hair which brings unbalanced attention to the legs, which competes where people want to naturally look, the face.
These are some minor things that others haven't pointed out that can really take what you've done to the next level. Sorry I've only focused on the negative.

>>3444937
Stop being so messy
>>3444985
Give her tits and long hair pleb
>>3445049
Pantyhose usually have light lighting right? Unlike leathers which need harsh lighting.
