Global rules, and too many snowflakes that get their fee-fee's hurt. Welcome to Internet censorship.

>>3560022
sounds like you're the snowflake anon

>>3560031
Looks nice, would fug. The leg doesn't seem right though. I think if one leg was crossing the other then the hips would be rotated and have more of a slant to them, right now she looks a little off balance.

>>3560066
trying to get the pelvis tilted but its not reading right, need to noodle it more and stack it better

Never posted before but maybe some friendly advice to help improve

Do you have a blog?

>>3560082
Fellow /beg/ here. Dont use symmetry tool for the face. You rarely want perfect symmetry unless you’re drawing graphic t-shirts.
Widen the chin a bit and give features like the brow and cheeks more definition.
I would draw the whole body as a sketch before doing the armor. His torso is very short for his head.

Working on this right now. Starting to realize how aggravating it will be to paint this whole thing...

>Draw thread
>doesnt start with the pasta

memes aside, /ic/ is getting distracted and riled up by fucking illastrat and that other retard and every other shitposter is realising they can start threads about themselves and actually get replies.

>>3560218
I appreciate your honest opinion I really should have worked harder before asking

finally a new draw thread

>>3560281
this is awesome. youre at the point where you should learn meme effects that people use before they learn to draw because some bloom and filters would actually look great on your work

>>3560238
take shortcuts when doing cityscapes
if you polish all that youre gonna end up burning out

Name and shame you fag.

>>3560293
/v/ is a place where anons consume content. and there is content for days and days and ect ect

on /ic/, we make the content. so it's far more limited. you can't make your own threads if you have no content to post. here's how the summerfag cycle goes:
>january
>draw one thing
>take break
>break lasts several months
>suddenly june
>suddenly have all this free time
>discover "art and critique" board you never noticed before
>"hey, *I* draw things!"
>dust off old art folder
>attach image
>post thread
>(you)s galore
>dopamine rush
>feel INSPIRED to draw even more!
>draw one thing
>take break
>several months pass
>january

summer WILL end

dont even remember the name it was so bland, there was a sign up form, some of the questions were
>rate your mental state 1-10
>a member disagrees with you, what do you do

>>3560285
thanks for the tip anon

>>3560294
i see what you meant by special effects now. i love what you did with that loomis and ngmi. it will take a lot of time before i can implement those with my work since i have 0 knowledge about special effects

>>3560297
>Being so stupid that you think you can post like you do on 4chan literally everywhere.

lol

>>3560330
this

>>3560297
do you go outside at all? you know shit like that doesnt fly anywhere.

>>3560330
>>3560332

the topic of conversation was about mods being shit. and im not even mad if it was because of mod disrespect, but to be so uptight about a throwaway comment using the word fag is a sign of a special snowflake discord and i honestly dont want any part of a critique discord if people are going to be bent out of shape about peoples feefees POSSIBLY getting hurt

>>3560335
>>3560297
you cant just be an autistic faggot when posting under a USERNAME, idiot

>>3560335
you can only post on 4chan if youre over 18

>>3560337
valid point

>>3560341
youve opened me up to the realisation that some people who post on /ic/ are literally children giving advice to people who have been drawing longer than theyve been alive

>>3560335
You'd be less mad if it was about daring to criticize authority than if it was about using slurs? Come on son. Also screeching about snowflakes is practically self parody at this point.

>>3560349
i really didnt mean to shit up the thread like this but im not seething mad upset about it, it just strikes me as soft skinned to ban someone on the spot for a meme post

two recent things i made.
drawn with mouse + paint

>>3560297
gimme link, ill bully the mods in your stead

>>3560370
>got banned

sorry mang i dont remember, scrubbed it from my memory

>>3560366
pretty fuckin good my dude, paint is great for pixelshit. id love to see some bigger pieces from you

>>3560290

I have an inferiority complex with Makoto Shinkai.

Yes I know he uses photographs and CG Models, but I can't help it.

>>3560390
Fuck those are so beautiful. These type of background literally make his movies 10x more appealing because of the amount of mood and atmosphere that just oozes out of them. You know what his process is like?

>>3560394

There's a book published in 2008 (English edition came out in 2015) that covers some of his methods. I don't have a copy but I worked in a studio that had a copy of the Japanese edition. It might be worth getting.

As I recall it involves a lot of photographs of actual locations, some 3D modeling, and a lot of photoshop work.

https://www.parkablogs.com/content/book-review-sky-longing-memories-art-of-makoto-shinkai-english-edition

Here's a gallery of Kimi No Na Wa BGs to make you feel inferior.

work smarter not harder

>>3560394

Oh and there's a Malaysian artist who, while not quite as impressive as Shinkai, may shed some light on the kinds of methods he uses.

https://youtu.be/xFeGx8djO20

>>3560408

That's... exactly what he's doing.

Thank you.

>>3560428
linework is nice but the hand makes it clear you used a ref and didnt think about what it should actually look like. not that its bad, it just lacks difinition and depth

Not really happy with the design but I'm trying to force myself to render/finish stuff while I have the time since all I've ever done are sketches.

>>3560439
yeah, it looks bad. i'll redraw it.

discontinued piece of art

Just join DAD and commit to becoming better. Sorry for all the animu

>>3560566
Fuck off back to your containment thread

>>3560566
eat shit you worthless cum guzzling faggot, your mother wished she had never given birth to you and your dad wishes you never existed

>>3560566

I considered posting in DAD, but it looked like a mess and I saw precious little art there.

So... no.

>>3560576
this is great, lighting is on point, i dont know if its finished but the buildings and the sky need a little bit more time on them

>>3560581

Thank you. I'm pretty happy with the lighting myself.

It's not finished. I'm going through some old unfinished pieces and seeing if there are any I can salvage. I think this one is worth finishing.

Had to put it aside for a few months while I did client work (and suffered from an eye infection that left me half blind for a month and from which I am STILL recovering. REAL great motivator to work on art when you can't even look at a monitor without squinting.)

Well I'll have you know the study and painting gains i've made trying to impress other DADs have been well worth the while!

Finally a DT

Trying to break in a new laptop with a screen I can draw on. It's a bit weird.
And honestly not very different from my Intuos.

>>3560749

Any crits are welcomed!

>>3560751
Great rendering

>>3560805
Thank you!

>>3560751
if youre supposed to look sick this is very successful

I don't know what I'm doing, to be honest

>>3561104
This is badass

>>3560920
Ooooh.
How I'd love to hang this on my wall.

Do any of you actually practice grinding anatomy and gesture drawing every day like proko says or do you just draw whatever and practice when you feel like it.

Just finishing up the cover to my comic.

>>3561201

I just work on whatever is in front of me, usually. As long as you're working on something AND thinking creatively on how to improve it, you'll get better. However there are long periods in my life where I'm mostly drawing and painting environments, and then I find it takes a couple of days to get back into character drawing. Like, the people I draw are very stuff for the first while.

I also have had a very roundabout career, so I may not be the best role-model.

>>3561167
are you making fun of me or are you serious? :-D

>>3561266
if you're serious then once it's done you can get a print of this from my website, naughtysketches.com. it'll be up there by next week i hope

>>3560418
They look very muddy and jarring. Also the lighting is all over the place.

>>3561298

Meh. That's as much work as I'm willing to do for animation BGs that are going to be on screen for literal seconds.

I wanted to go simpler and more graphic, but the client wanted fully painted BGs, so that's what they got.

wip
need feedback

>>3561382
It's going well. I advise making the foreground elements more stark and also unifying the giant into the colorscheme of the back ground

>>3561382
can you give me some tips on what brushes you use / good tuts on mixer brush? thanks in advance

Thoughts?

>>3561441
Add character by creating asymmetrical facial expressions. Also I advise sharper lines.

>>3561451
Yeah, I see what you mean - thanks!

How long did it take you to wrap your head around foreshortening? Say you're drawing a pose with a limb coming toward the viewer, I cannot for the life of me figure out at which rate the limb needs to get bigger and how it affects the fundamental ratios with the rest of the body.

>>3561896
Nevermind, I thought this was the /beg/ thread, I ctrl-f it without reading the OP. Rape my face.

>>3561885

>>3560004
a++ would snug Lauren. Or Senia. Or Ella.

>>3561899
I don't think anyone in /beg/ has wrapped their head around foreshortening so you're better off asking here.

>>3560082
Bend his waist a bit more, you should be able to see his ass and then twist his spine so you can see his chest at three quarter with his ass and then tilt his head to the said for a more dynamic pose

>>3561473

>>3561416
u can use any soft brush or just make visibility lower

>>3560948
lol. Kinda yeah.

>>3561201
Well I practice something almost every day. But not necessarily anatomy and gestures. Although I've done a lot of those as well.

Thoughts?

so what ya think?

>>3562255
neato but i think that little bit of boob there looks out of place

>>3562260

>>3560463
It’s shit

A little bit different but I figured I'd post anyways. Finished the back of this thrifted jacket a few nights ago. Not sure yet what I wanna throw on the front, in anything, but still pretty proud of myself! This is my second time painting on p/leather.

>>3562347
juvenile levels of understanding displayed quite well here

>>3562545
You've deduced from a drawing that I'm an idiot? Not even specifics about what I don't understand?

>>3562347
It's like if Mucha drew trannies.

>>3562555
my fucking sides

>>3560004
critique the shit outta this please

>>3562572
(except for poor anatomy - I am ofc aware of it)

>>3562547
implying that children are idiots, they have an excuse for being juvenile.

>>3561227
Nice work. I dig the filter effect you've got going on with the lettering.

>>3562637
Implying that juvenile only means children. Fuck off retard

>>3562572
I like it a lot, only thing I don't like is how it's bright on top
you had a nice claustrophobic composition going, with the only bit of light (and hope) coming from the character's tongues, it had a nice symbolic undertone as well
but then you put light on the top as well, that's like opening the windows, the doors, and the velux. no more claustrophoby, no more scary athmosphtere and all that's left is some impressive technical skill and half a good composition idea
also the hand on the bottom middle is too fucked up to be realist like the bottom left hand and too realist to be stylised like the top ones
all that aside I still really like it
do you have a blog?

>>3562730
thanks for your words! You're right I guess. I should've followed trough with like the essence of the compostion. I don't have a blog but instagram (@naughtysketches). (same on fb, yt, twitter, reddit etc.)

>>3562715
>juvenile
literally
of, pertaining to, characteristic of, or suitable or intended for young persons: juvenile books. young; youthful: juvenile years. immature; childish; infantile: His juvenile tantrums are not in keeping with his age.

yes, it almost purely refers to children.

>>3562756
followed you on twitter
best of luck for the future

>>3562758
>characteristic of
>suitable for
>pertaining to
>you still think the word can only mean children in the most literal sense

You're literally reading the definition to yourself and you still have 0 comprehension of the word's meanings. Did you just copy paste the definition without reading it? Is summer over yet?

>>3562766
your art is still shit regardless of that anons and your own views on grammar.

>>3560004

>>3562804

am i on the road to actually good draughtsmanship yet?

So im following this guide and I was just wondering what a good balance of Book study and actual drawing would be. Sorry for asking here I dont really trust the guys over at /beg/.
Thanks

>>3562277
you reminded me of drawing xenomorph

More focused on the feel of the design than the technical aspect. Trying to do both well, though.

Pretty sure the drawing is fucked. But other than that, I think the values are mostly accurate. Thoughts?

>>3560281
another one

>>3563199
you could probably keep the same mood without it being quite so murky

>>3563215
Murky? What do you mean?

>>3563217
well it's dark and indistinct, which is fine if you want it to look like idk, twilight in a swamp, or some kind of smokey war torn hellscape or w/e. but it does make for a slightly boring quite flat image

>>3562347
you're getting shat on a lot but I really like your lines

>>3563231
hi brian.

>>3563229
i do like it though, seemed like i was being negative on re-reading, here's a terrible 'ruanjiaed' version i did to see if color might make it a bit more fun, totally for my own amusement, not advice or anything

>>3563229
Oh, okay. How about this then? Broadened the value scale a bit, so now it's almost full range.

>>3563252
hm now i kind i prefer the original

>>3562606

I'm working on this for a dear friend of mine. He wanted a giant tree on a tall building. I've never drawn a building before, so I could really use some guidance. Right now, looking at it...there are just way too many fucking windows and something just seems off, probably the perspective, but I can't put my finger on it. Any advice?

>>3564223
This looks really cool anon. I think your windows should actually be smaller and slimmer, like pic related.

>>3563996
I really like this one
Tiger approves

Leaving it how it is

I drew a nice pussy.

>>3560004
hey /ic/, first time posting here!
anyway what do you think ? any advice ?

crits?

>>3564445
I think it looks a bit muddy atm, things like metal reflections should use harder edges, fat guy arm and hand are a too small. I think the chiaroscuro could go considerable darker in the outer areas of the composition.

>>3563252
Are you doing studies along these pieces? I'm assuming this one is from imagination or lightly referenced (which is not bad at all). I feel his right shoulder piece is mislocated, deltoid should a bit farther to the outer side

The guy seems a bit short and I also feel the helmet style doesn't match the armor one.

That said I really dig the rendering.

Does this wip look correct? I feel I have seen it for too long to tell

>>3564458
Breasts are asymmetrical more than perspective would cause. Her eyes are looking in different directions. She looks like she's holding a baby penguin for a rag. You have a lot of paint bleeding out of your lines around the silhouette that makes the whole thing look way messier than it has to be. The shading on her right foot doesn't look like it makes sense given the shading on her left big toe, and her left pinky toe is wrong. I'm assuming you mean to have her left foot pointed towards us, thus the size difference between the feet, but even still her left foot seems too small and/or not angled towards us enough.

Take all these with a grain of salt as my figure drawing is shit.

I working on this in free time. Do this character have potential? Share some thoughts.

>>3564524
yeah i think it has potential, would enjoy fighting one in a video game, i would maybe personally think it looked cooler if it had legs, like..ninja legs.

>>3564445
Needs more contrast between the light and shadow sides. Could also use richer colors, actually more variation of color. Look at Caravaggio.

>>3564559
needs a little something extra. like the scribblecore thing is working, and the drawing is okay, but it just doesn't catch, needs more tension or contrast or something.

>>3564559
Is that Terence Mckenna?

I cant tell if this picture is a cool or warm light. I went on color picker and still can't tell
what colour paint should I add to the mixture for the shadows?

>>3564711
Cool, you retard. And have the common courtesy to post questions in QTDDTOT

I fucking hate tendonitis. I wish I could jump off a building and return to checkpoint like in video games
I just want to draw ;-;

>>3564721
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdD7CgN5FGg
worked for me. dont know if itll work for you, but it worked for me

>>3564721
Do you use a mouse a lot? I used to get really bad tendonitis (like metal arm brace and ace bandages bad) once every few months. Switched over to a track ball, and I've not had any problem with it since.

>>3564524
that hand irked me

>>3564780
no it's just from drawing, I used to draw just from the wrist for long long hours each day and messed up my wrist for life it seems because now even though I use the shoulder and have regular breaks, I can't draw or write or play music etc without it hurting after 30 mins and having to stop
using mouse never does anything for me though, and I used to play video games 18 hours per day every day, for years without a problem and I still can. fate is cruel and wants me to go back to that I guess
>>3564758
thanks I'll try this

thanks for the new laugh reacts.

>>3564828

>>3560004
I think you need to ephasize and draw more detail on the parts you want to stand out, e.g the eyes, nose, mouth. You could darken the hair maybe and also with ink you can use different patterns for different textures like the hair, background, clothes etc

Thanks for the critique I will try to address the rest of the issues

i got more oof..
>>3565508
just looked up what it was and i can kinda see the resembles

>>3566051

I need some help figuring out the area between the arm and the ass along the back and ribcage. I've had a hell of a time trying to figure out whats wrong and i just can't seem to get it. Also i can't get the boob/arm placement right, its always off looking to me. I know its probably major shit thats wrong but i cant figure it out.

>>3566188
Fairly fucking cool pic, did you learned anatomy before attempting it, got down gestural and construction or just drew contours of what you saw?

As to the pic itself, I think her right arm is a tad too short while left forearm is a bit too close to an arm which also suggests arm position is weird.

Just put it over the picture you drew it from in gimp and see where do you went sideways.

>>3566205
I try to loosely construct based upon the general pose of a ref i like, then i'll change things according to my preference like leg position, arms, head. Then once those are set i'll refine things like feet which are pretty easy for me and draw in the face, hair, hands. Then i'll decide that it's all shit and redo alot of it again and again. In between i'll paint in flats and attempt to block in areas with a bit of shading because it helps to point out flaws in the sketch. Then just go back and forth painting and fixing the sketch over and over till it doesn't look like shit to me.

my last thing, please critique

Hi im /beg/ here on holiday i like this image very much

Tell me what you think boys. I plan on jacking around with the backlighting more.

>>3567064
hard edges, my nigga, you're using the soft brush too much. If you're going for a stronger backlight his front might be too bright.

>>3561104
One thing i would recommend is to keep the dragons head down when it runs. Almost all animals do this as it is much more aerodynamic and stealthy. It would look more intimidating with a claw coming into the foreground. It would make it seem like its catching up to them rather than being something menacing in the background.

found a perfectly intact butterfly outside, decided to paint it

>>3567883
Beautiful, anon.

>>3567883
Wholesome af

I need critique on this one. Mainly on the coloring/values because that's what I'm practicing on right now. It's a screenshot redraw from an Invader Zim episode

W.i.p. tell me what you think frens

>>3567883
i found a good 3 inch dragonfly and it didnt even have its wings or legs curled i tried picking it up by the tail and it snapped :(

cute as fuck with a nice style

>>3560749
>>3560751

These look nice. Good texture and lighting. Are you looking to become professional artist, because you seem to be on the right track.

Out of curiosity, did you use any particular brush for these?

I want to feed your distortion

played around a bit with contrast in editor, but this is it. any thoughts?

>>3567930
I like your colors, they make the painting feel very warm. However, they're a bit washed out. I think this is due to the shadows not being saturated enough and the lack of a core shadow/reflected light. Also, there is not enough detail in the foreground, and the background needs to jump out at the viewer less, but this can be fixed after working on your values and colors.

>>3568148
that is also on 2 separate pieces of paper.

this is something else of mine.

>>3567714
i like this, feels like something out of a strange dream.

>>3564941
i think what would look real nice would be tears/some liquid streaming out the eyes and maybe a bit more of a horrified expression. but thats just me, i like that stuff.

>>3563771
ngmi loser

any help wit dis shit?

>>3568220
woops wrong file

>>3568220
can you try and make the some of the brown tones in the middle drawing a bit more burgundy? might look good

Band from the coffee shop today

>>3568283
And I drew this girl, really trying to suck it up and place the figures in their environment instead of floating on the page

this is bayou Billie. Any feedback on him at this point? I'm thinking of trying to illustrate him in an environment as something you'd see on some card art. Thoughts?

yes is this is from that one porn pic

>>3568284
she looks like bobby from king of the hill
also, resize, you degenerate

>>3560004
>when you accidentally draw a dick

lmao

>>3562347

remember its art not a who can press hardest into the paper contest.

>>3568300
Start working on the environment since it will probably have a considerable effect on your current hues and values

I feel you could remark the shadows on the far side so the left part of the body has more depth, try adding a multiply layer and apply some shadow on the left side limbs

Started defining the nude version of this piece

>>3568300

flat, unconvincing depth

>>3568367
>>3568356
thanks for the tips guys. I don't want to mislead you- the focus of this one is just to sorta get the character down, and then to move onto doing one where he is in another more interesting pose, perhaps talking to a local hic deep in the swamps of Louisiana. This would be the illustration I was talking about. If I saw a plain, boring 3/4ths concept piece on a full illustration, that shit would put me to sleep. I gotta add some spice. I do get the memo though. It doesn't excuse the really unconvincing lighting, concept piece or not. I'll be adding something more flavourful for the last bit I'm willing to put into this one before the next step.

also, thanks for the feedback, Firez. You're always so nice and helpful, and you seem to be one of the first to like my work when I post it on my social. I really appreciate that. I wish I could give you more feedback, but honestly, you're significantly better than me lol. the only thing I can really think of is that Samus has a small beauty mark below lips on the left of her chin. I only remember this because Samus was my waifu and I use to take pics of her in brawl like a real degenerate. best of luck as you finish rendering this one out dude

>>3568430
np buddy. Keep up the good work
I still feel like a /beg/ so go ahead and point my fuck ups when you find them (I'm terrible at identifying my own mistakes)

Also thanks for that tiny detail. I was totally unaware of it and it surprises me that the client didn't tell me about it :x

Still need to finish her hair and ears then lasso that left eye but this is the second decent thing I’ve made digitally (the first was smut the other day while goofing around). Gonna finish this next week after vacation

>>3568474
For reference, this was the last thing I made before I quit 5 months ago lol don’t judge me

/beg/, been trying to do something ambitious that I've had in my head for months now, but I keep revising and getting frustrated

>>3564223
Use a reference?

Do I get to hang with the cool guys now?

>>3568499
There's a clear size problem with his left arm and you can turn his torax

>>3568474

>>3568430
You're not a degenerate, I used to do the same with Mr. Game & Watch.

>>3568153
Thanks Anon! Yeah I did get that washed out feeling. It's because I wanted the shadows to be cold, and I learned that if you de-saturate a warm color, you get a cool grey. But I probably shouldn't overuse that

>>3568509
Thanks a bunch mate, it's probably still incorrect but at least it'll be less obvious yeah that was one tiny arm. This comes from not imagining how would it be connected to the rest of the body since the leg interrupted it.

So I take it I'm not quite there yet, good.

>>3560022
>snowflakes
>censorship
You fell for the meme, didn't you?

>>3568539
Everyone starts from something, in no time you'll have the proportions memorized. Also look for some reference in kicks (and movement when drawing) , his hole upper body should be at least tilted backwards.

>>3568145
the E at the bottom is pretty confusing.

I read it as I want to be ye your dog on first glance.

>>3568536
No problem, glad I could help!

just finished that, what do you guys think ?

Could I get some tips, on color composition and stuff.

Kinda new to color, used to only do greyscale portraits and very simple color work.

>>3568794
i think you went a little overboard

>>3568356
This is really nice FireZ. It looks very professional, I feel like I could see this in Final Fantasy 8 or something.

>>3568820
kek

>>3568811

you color the same way you do grayscale lighting: local -> global. if it's a green shirt you fill in the shirt with a flat green midtone, then do the shadows, then the highlights. do this with all objects. then then transparent stuff. then do global lighting and finishing touches and you're done. manage your layers. don't sharpen until you're done. don't focus on one area. do every object equally. for example you've already done too much on that guys face when you should have finished sketching all the objects in the composition, got their modeling and placement right.

honestly this looks half assed and it looks like you don't even know what you want to draw let alone what the composition is going to look like. figure out what you're going to draw before you begin drawing, or if you want to explore do it rough and don't start outlining halfway through. keep your sketches and finished work separate until you decide on a sketch you want to take into finalization stages.

>>3568525
The right eye is a bit misaligned, try to lower it. remember to keep the same line between the corners of the mouth across your features

>>3568820
Thanks anon <3

I'm honestly very dissatisfied by most of my stuff but I feel this is not too bad. Hopefully I will do something over the weekend to consider it finished

>>3568534
Because it was neat how he was 2d in a 3d world?

or- for the same reason as I used to look at Samus ; ^)

>>3561659
What this reminds memof

Got a lot to clean up. I think it's looking good so far but I'm not sure it's giving off the vibe I want.

drew my friend. she was feeling fat so we didn't do nudes today

>>3569011

>>3569012
and we did this outside

>>3569011
give us a tutorial on how to get girl friends to let you draw them nude?

>>3569016
Be a sociopath, and try to find a girl who's also a sociopath

>>3569016
bump desu

>>3569016
Have you tried asking?

>>3569048
i guarantee you it isn't that easy

>>3569061
Maybe I'll make a post about it later

>>3569083
please do. i need it to make gains and i don't have the money for art classes.

something is off about the pelvis, right?

>>3569116
Less the pelvis more where the hips start

>>3569123
is it placed too high? ref for comparison.

Anons, lately I haven't been drawing due to being on vacation and being lazy throughout all of it. Now I have motivation to draw, except all my skill at it is suddenly gone BLEGH.

I'm considering going back to the basics, simple shapes and lines. And building myself up from there. All I draw is DBZ and Sonic shit anyway, it's embarrassing desu. Should I go through with my decision? Also, could anyone give me some books regarding human anatomy and such? It'd be a great help.

something i made today. haven't done anything in a long time. there's stuff i want to fix about it but im impatient so whatever.

>>3561834

i like it. a lot of character. reminds me of cal arts style.

>>3569012

makes me uncomfortable that there are no revisions or guidelines, that you just put it down and kept it like a bind contour drawing. david hockney's drawings came to mind.

>>3569090
just have her pose in regular clothes. or a swimsuit if she's the understanding type. pressuring girls to get naked for you will get you put on a list.

>>3569116
Her right left is perfect straight while the left is relaxed, meaning the pelvis is supposed to be tilted while yours is parallel to the ground.

In the ref, her knee on the relaxed leg is lower than the right knee while in your drawing it's actually higher if not the same.

>>3569202
*Her right leg
Brain farted for a moment, sorry.

>>3569202
ah, now I see. thanks anon!

>>3569016
Get friends that are into art, photography modelling, etc.
or best would be to know someone that does nude modelling professionally for life drawing classes.

Then you ask.

Now the key here is that they actually have to like you and believe that it is for art and not perverted reasons. Unless they want it to be for perverted reasons.

>>3568143
Thanks a bunch!

Yeah, going to start working on my bachelor's in design this fall.

Both are painted with a slightly modified version of this square brush

Why does it look like shit?

>>3570310
I might have tonally changed it too much.
But I tried to give the colours more depth, add more blue to counter all the red, and make the hand pop more.

>>3570647
Forgot edit...

>>3570647
>>3570649
Thanks anon!
What you did really made the figure "fit" into that place, and the hand does pop a lot more now. Colours on the face did get slightly muddy, but overall it's still an improvement. Thanks again, I think I'll know what to look out for in the future.

>>3570310
don't hold back on the shadows. I also think it'd look better if it were more painterly, although that may just be my personal preference.
Is this a study?

>>3570819
Yeah, I should have pushed the shadows a bit more. And yes, it is a study, pic related.

bump
