Who wagecuck here? How do you save energy to draw after work?

>>3643309
Make it important to you
Also bring a small sketch book with you so that if you get an idea you can jot it down or do some preliminary drawings during downtime (if you have any).

Tough to do on busy days, but it's got to become more important than whatever else you do after work to unwind.

>>3643309
start lifting.

>>3643309
Hell if I know. I tried the wake up early technique for months and all that results in is increased sleep paralysis to the point where my sleep demons have figured out that calling out to Jesus doesn't work anymore or sleeping on my stomach or keeping my eyes shut when I know I've become self aware in the dream which triggers it when I wake up.

The best thing you can probably try is immediately make coffee and start drawing before anything else. Make it too priority like other anon said.

Nearly done, what do you guys think?

>>3643363
Her head doesn't even look like its apart of its body. Leg on the left looks like someone placedd a right angle ruler on her abdomen.

>>3643363
What other anon said
I fugged up trying to make it more "correct" though

Reposting cause I'm a big dummy.

My dream Is to make a Game, Manga and Visual Novel. Unfortunately the area I was born didnt really foster too much in the way of creativity. Im currently working some construction jobs so I can pay for my college. What do you guys suggest I study for a unique art style? Keep in mind my current capacity is stick figures.

>>3643447
That's something you gotta figure out for yourself really. Go on places like pinterest, insta etc and try to follow as many as artists as you like to expose yourself to as many ideas as possible. Maybe you can think of building your style as "solving a problem". Maybe you really like american superhero style comics but there's one thing you can't stand about it that throws you off. Same idea for manga/anime. Take what you like and throw out whatever you think is garbage. Doing this enough over time you'll end up with something very personal to yourself.

>>3643363

Kind of looks like she doesn't have a pelvis/ass and her legs are just sticking out from a hole in the bed. Also having the bed sheets flesh colored is not great for readability. You could try giving it a coolish tint to make it contrast from the actual skin tones

>>3643309
Have a purpose to what you draw.

>>3643363
>>3643588
Not sure a change in hue would make it read much better, I hadn't noticed at first but she's wearing a nightgown of sorts right?
I like the image overall, but not sure the bottom would stick like that in that pose, should't it fall and collect below instead of sticking to the leg?

>>3643575
I like murata, the author of one punch mans style but hes so far beyond me its not even funny. Ive seen a couple of starter books and I'm going to go through them and try and piece it together. Man I wish I could have done this as a kid.

>>3643616
It's a start regardless! Giving yourself some inspiration that's really up there will be a great benchmark to test yourself/ your improvement against. Don't worry too much about age, honestly. I started when I was 5 yrs old but didn't take it seriously till I was 20. The years in between that really meant nothing because it was just "drawing for fun". As an adult you have the advantage of having a much more driven/ mature approach to your learning and will pump out results way faster than your kid self. It really does not take long to learn if you're serious about it.

>>3643631
You know I really appreciate your advice and kindness. Thank you friend ill try my best to become what I want to. Of course I'm a little impatient in some aspects I plan on making a game so im having people design some characters for me while I earn money for my studies. Hopefully Im not stretching too far.

i was originally posting in the porn thread, a lot of people helped me with tips and critique and i really apreciated that.

what you guys think on this? is just a study, but any type of help will be great.

>>3643363
>he actually drew good feet

>>3643652
Your eyes, get them checked. It isn't bad but it isnt "good" either.

>>3643309
Use it to fap.

hi, again.

Please dont shove me down stairs tho

>>3643827
Always a good habit to plant the feet, so the character is at least standing on the ground rather than floating.

>>3643954

>>3643954
I've seen your stuff here in few threads and its not that bad, but do you have anything else than the pixel brush stuff?

Some progress, I think I've got most of the body figured out like this but the face is fucking me yet again

who is Kyle
>>3644080
yea that was my number one problem with it. do you suggest shifting the shoulder to the left more or making less of an outline or?

>>3644087
>YEV THE DIDDLER
fucking kek

>>3644088
Putting the shoulder aside, look at the tit below it. it looks much bigger on the right side of that arm and smaller on the left side. Doesn't really compute.

Base is workable, would be fun if somebody did a nice redline.

>>3643309
Get home, immediately go to bed, wake up in the middle of the night and draw, go back to bed for a little bit and wake up again for work.

>>3644063

>>3644109
thanks I can see where I messed up with shoulders and the head placement, but should the head really be that big? Maybe slightly smaller?

still thanks though I'll make the changes

Thanks for the feedback fellas, I've made some changes to make it better.

>should't it fall and collect below instead of sticking to the leg?

That would be more accurate but I would rather avoid drawing panty shot whenever possible.

>>3644523
her head definitely does not look better my guy

Unless she's wearing a fuckton of foundation, the skin tone on her face looks way too pale/off. just compare it to her thighs or look at the thumbnail and you'll see.

Her chin is also jutting out too much. fix her neck I think and you might solve the issue.

>>3644422
it doesnt look appealing. it just looks really gross. yikes. also, your skill tier is so low, if you drew anything besides third grade fetish art, people would be much quicker to criticize you lmao

>>3644422
>>3644556
Nah it looks pretty good actuslly. You probably just hate that the guy draws loli.

>>3644558
shoo shoo yev

>>3644054
I think you are going for a static standing on a bike pose, but I get so much direction from the angle shot that I thought, maybe something more aggressive like this?
I dunno how to put the arms though, ha ha, multiple limbs always drive me nuts. But trying to keep them aiding in the direction force.

>>3644543
Welp you're right, I overlooked the face while working on other places. Anyway I should call it a day for this, sorry for spamming this thread with my work

>>3644638
I don't know if that was intentional, but her eyes look kinda psychotic.

>>3644638
Maybe learn to draw instead of using a 3d model. Your problem would have been solved had you known how to connect parts properly.

>>3643309
I have two jobs, do commissions, work on a comic and a video game, but I still make time to draw. I just don't sleep much anymore plus I carry a sketchbook with me everywhere.

i need help
are these glasses okay? and if not, how would you fix it?

>>3645172
Gib blog first

>>3645177
but i need help now :(
lol, tw @Inaniinii

What are some appealing styles that are not anime? I know there's the Golden Age styles like pic related, the Franco-Belgians like Claire Wendling, early Disney ala Snow White.. what else is there?

>tfw i used to poop out 3 of these per day now have been stuck on this for 3 weeks
gamers rise up

>>3645185
Good stuff, followed!

>>3645322
If you been stuck on it so long it means you should just start over and fix your mistakes in the second piece.

>>3645333
your stuff are awesome too!

>>3644699
I don't have much with me right now, but I have very little "finished" pieces I'm proud of anyway.

>>3645369
I think it means I'm lazy

>>3645407
Then get off your lazy ass and finish it, or just move to a next one.
Don't let yourself hold you back.

>>3644681
instead of giving her blush he gave her eyebags

yikes

>>3644333
heads too big

>>3644638
Dont forgot to make her entire right arm (not) flat

Still trying to get used to digital

>>3645488
Looks like you're just making all the shadows darker. Shift them hues

>>3645491
To the cooler side normally?

>>3645500
Normally. Skin is more complicated because it gets warmer in the midtones due to subsurface scattering. I guess with zombie skin it doesn't matter as much, but that's how it usually works.

>>3645515
Thanks! Also, in your opinion, should one use "multiply" layers when shading or just go for the right color?

>>3645518
That's up to you. Layer modes are much easier and faster. Learning how to put the right color down the first time is obviously difficult, but it gives you greater flexibility. Pros will use either or both, it just depends how they prefer to work.

>>3645410
alright, done

>>3645587
i would make the mountains and the roof lighter because if you look at the thumbnail it's not too readable

>>3645588
oh you're right, you can't distinguish from the thumbnail thank you anon will fix

>>3645592
np friend i love your creativity

This guy is something I've been working on and off on for maybe two years now. I had a load of reference sheets and stuff for him and the surrounding stories but it all got destroyed. Since then I've come a long way and I hope to get started soon.

>>3645827
Don't take this the wrong way anon but for two years in gestation, the design itself is rather plain. The hair is DBZ style, I see he wears a suit (can't tell if a necktie too or is just a shirt) and I'm guessing the usual business shoes? And sunglasses. Then his fist is lit up but it is fire or electricity? I really can't tell that well, I feel it's more fire.
So, put all that together, you have the usual tough guy contemporary looks (suit/sunglasses) and spiky hair with a fire fist. I just don't see why not maybe making more interesting choices for the design if you had being thinking about it for two years? Maybe some interesting patterns for the clothing or customize the clothing to reinforce what he does or what are his skills? Make the hairstyle more personal also.

>>3645836
The perspective doesn't really do the hair justice much, and without context none of it really makes any sense. The whole idea is that he's literally "just a guy". In my more detailed works his suit had more details (for instance his waistcoat had art-deco style floral patterns on it) and he has a pocket watch.
You were half right on the hand part, it is in fact electricity but I just half assed the lines for this sketch, when I finish it off it'll be much more evident as to what it is.
Pic related is what I originally drew the hair as, it was more "floofy" i suppose you could say and followed a more distinct curve.
The story is about two ordinary guys who go exploring on vacation and get wrapped up in something much larger than them. As time goes on, they change to reflect that.

Crit my style I guess? I just wanted an excuse to post this somewhere else, since I made it last night for an /a/non and probably won't do anything else with it.

These days I usually paint more realistic stuff, but this is my default anime style. If there's any meaningful big-picture feedback I could get on this, I'd appreciate it.

>>3645859
Sorry anon, I like it but I just can't understand how the far leg ended up like that, The interrogation mark is where I think you have the knee, and I did a bit of an estimation based on the leg coming up close, correcting a bit the angling, and I just can't justify it. I placed a cutout ellipse to estimate where the far away knee would fall maybe depending on how much you open the leg. Did you use reference? I maybe be off but it's really bugging me out. Love the upper body and face.

>>3645889
Looks pretty awesome albeit rough. It reminds me of some anime studio style or like a mixture, can't really put my finger in which ones, so long since I've seen shows. Keep it up!

>>3645889
Looks good but what the fuck happened to the lighting on his chest

>>3643309
IF YOu want to make it save up money and quit your day job and draw at least 8-12 hours everyday.

>>3645954
Thanks dude! I definitely have my inspirations, some of them I probably don't realize, but the ones I can name are some of the old DBZ anime staff, Yusuke Murata from the OPM manga and some of the guys that worked on the OPM anime as well. Madhouse and Bones work with a lot of animators I like.
>>3646430
I have no idea either, I did it in literally 15 minutes and only zoomed in on the face.

>>3646459
Oh that's fair enough. The only thing I'd do is make his nose chiseled and straight. It kinda reminds me of the OVA DIO from 1993

>>3646461
Good point. I can definitely see how that would've improved it, I didn't even consider it (plus I should've looked at some reference pics of him).

jus fackin doodlin

ive barely done anything these past days but im experimenting with a crayon brush for hair i dont know if it looks like crap

>>3646475
the hair looks amazing

>>3646480
thx frend

>>3646475
The crayon texture looks nice imo.

>>3646475
draw more mikus <3333333

>>3645889
Personal taste, of course anything stylistic is very subjective, but I'd prefer it if you gave him a more prominent chin/jaw structure like in >>3646461 I think the features are fine but more a matter of proportions by having them take up less room in the face.

*dabs out of comfort zone*

>>3645889
Drawthreads are cancer. Stop filling up free requests from other anons

>>3646692
>not requesting ideas of something you want
>not exploiting other anons by literally stealing their ideas

>>3646655
How do I stay motivated like you, yumenikkifriend.

>>3646700
Most of the time it's just horny anons wanting free fap material. They're pretty bitchy about it too. Also there's rarely any request or idea that's worth stealing

>>3646710
I don't think you need to be motivated, just draw while you enjoy it and if you don't enjoy it then step away from it. That's what I do but at the same time I try not to step too far away from drawing, you might need to force yourself for a little bit and then you start to enjoy again.

backdashin'

>>3644638
I did the slightest paintover

maybe it'll give you something to think about next time

Doing the hand position I don't think you'd see the thumb and for the eyes I'd just move the right iris over so it matches the left which is more centered.

>>3646692
It wasn't a drawthread, it was the Jojo thread. I was about to go to bed and offered a 10 min drawing to the first reply, just for the sake of practice and fun.

>>3646714
that's the >>>/a/ threads. Just go to >>>/v/ they're really nice ppl there. but again, just say 'requesting x kind of requests' and maybe you'll get a bunch of ideas to draw, it's a useful way to get ideas

>>3646794
>>3644638
Neck is too slanted on the left considering the mostly straight on pose.

>>3646655

thanks

>>3646475
How did you learn to color like this? Any tutorials or artists you'd recommend?

>>3645954
i diddnt use a ref, and yea, that fucking leg gave me hell as you can see with the extra lines, i cant pin it.

just playing around
i got a new monitor recently with weird contrast so i don't know how the colours appear to others

>>3647201
(also only 1 side is done because i was a dumb dumb and forgot the other side oops)

>>3647172
OH lol, I thought those lines where you placing the muscle forms! Ha, they look like the leg muscles, lucky! It's a tough angle for sure, I guess try to get someone to pose for you or pose yourself and take a picture.

>>3647201>>3647203
I really like it, even like that. Well composition wise one can argue that it would be unbalanced but I dunno, I like the empty space oh the other side because it really draws you to the character having all the elements there.
Hmm, colors, tough to say, either you calibrate and check yourself it looks as you intended or anyone won't be able to tell. Heck, even if you do that someone might have their monitor badly calibrated and it will look like shit in theirs ha ha. Never trust blindly what others tell you about the colors they see on their monitors. Just in case.
You can try to check it on your phone or a friends if they can help you out. Printing is usually the only way to get a reasonable common ground.

>>3647201
Looks reallly good. Only things I noticed was that the character's feet dont feel grounded for some reason. Maybe the shadows or the perspective of the feet/leggings needs some tweaking, or maybe change the style of them. Those bushes also all having the save colors make it look a bit flat.

keep it up though I like the style ^^

>>3646825
The /v/ threads all ask for traps instead of lewds anon

>>3647234
>>3647224
Thank you both so much!!! I super appreciate the feedback, I'm excited to make some changes :3c

>>3647089
you're trying to hard to copy someone elses style, while you dont even understand it, it's very obvious. I would avoid it, as you're never gonna develop one of your own if you do so.

>>3647201
add a bit more detail to her legs could ya? The rest of her body looks great just here the legs stand out to me cause of the maybe too simple curve contrasted to rest of her. If you could define the different parts just slightly such as the thigh and calf.
Rest looks great thou I will say the tree stumps looks a bit unfinished in detail.

>>3647465
>he rest of her body looks great just here the legs stand out to me cause of the maybe too simple curve contrasted to rest of her
I don't think that's why they standout. It's because the blackest blacks are her socks, and that really draws the eyes the same way it would if they were the brightest brights. Socks need to be toned down first, and then maybe add some detail like a pattern or stripes or something.

Also if there's a problem overall it's that the ground looks slanted, instead of flat. It makes everything else seem off.

>>3647487
random virtual girl concept thingy*

>>3647488
Looks nice. Now go draw some feet and legs. You're clearly hiding the fact that you cant draw them.

>>3647493
I cropped the picture because she doesn't have feet and I was 100% sure somebody would have pointed it out if I hadn't but nvm

Or maybe should I just

>>3647465>>3647473
Hmm, I'm not OP artist but if you want to make those changes you should do them and post redlines or paintovers to show how you envision it would look like.
I would personally love to see how it changes the results.
Nonetheless, my opinion is that socks being that dark is fine since it's the main character, is supposed to stand out. Patterns or strips would be fun. Slanting floor looks fine to me because outdoors you see plenty of offroads that slant or don't follow perfectly flat, have bumps, I think it's charming.
I do think, you could use extra darker values for the stump and the sole of the feet to get better contact on the ground. So I added some idea of what I mean.

help?

>>3647558
Are you trying to open a JPG?

>>3647574
No, a .sai2.

>>3647580
Try changing the file extension to just .sai then

If that doesn't work and gets the same prompt I really have no idea what the problem could be.

>>3647589
Doesn't work. There's nothing about it on the internet either guess it's just really fucked, thanks Windows.

>>3647580
Just convert it to a psd

>>3647592
Did you update your sai version?

gonna make some shirts with this on the back

>>3647636
Just write "faggot" on the back of some black shirts in correction fluid; same result for a fraction of the effort

was feeling pretty shitty but i've decided i'm gonna go to the state fair tomorrow and now i feel better, any tips for drawing people in public spaces? i'm pretty slow when it comes to drawing usually. alternatively, tips for how to stop having an eating disorder would also be appreciated

>>3647832
cute

>>3647840
Thanks mang. I wonder if they're kinda flat though, gotta look with fresh eyes tomorrow.

Nice shapes

>>3647441
that's what i do when i can't think of anything else to draw

this is my first time coloring digitally. how did i do?

>>3647867
>how did i do?

>>3647933
What the fuck is she holding?

>>3647832
the bodies are good but the faces are yikes

>>3647851
>Nice shapes
danke

i wouldn't say they're flat... well, at least one of them isn't, lol. okay seriously tho, it is maybe a teeensy bit flat, the tangent between the headshape/chin area of the left one and her bossom being a big culprit, but it's mostly the perspective being a bit off between the two individuals, not to mention proportionally, assuming both their backs/spines are laying at the same angle/level of flatness, the big girl's torso is roughly the same length as the smaller one. i think maybe removing her boobies from the drawing for the time being would (ironically) help with getting the perspective more in sync with the other. i'd also relax the hands a bit more and have them also more in perspective, along with messing with the arms a bit, also don't be afraid to use the clothing to help sell the shape in your linework, complex designs can really betray the form if you're not being suuuuper crazy careful with all the curves an shiz. apologies for super shitty mspaint mouse edit, but i hope it helps at least a bit with the words maybe hahasdf, basically overlap is your friend!!

>>3647935

>>3648034
8 years in my dentist hasn't said anything yet, other than some exposed nerves at the back of my mouth. now i use sensodyne.

>>3647937
Haha yup, I realized the torso fail before going to bed. Had a hard time falling asleep. I'll try to fix it before I color.

You're also right about the boobs. Penis made me draw them in when dummy was barely finished, big mistake. Nuked them for now.

Loli is supposed to be tense but the big girl's hands were shit, true. Will probably do something in line with yours.

Yeah my drapery is ass but I'll try to use it.

>>3647512
Super appreciate the advice + edit anon!!

made the changes with everyone's tips
i LOVE IT......
i was a little worried about the background being too busy with more trees but it turned out great thanks to u guys!!

continuation

>>3648346
I'm not the greatest at editing stuff but gave it a quick shot.
The ground is too slanted it almost feels like its drooping off the page, i tried to fix it with a liquify tool but ended up making it wavy but i hope you get what i was after.
The picture is quite flat with no apparent light source, so adding a moon and some darkness around the forest gives it bit more depth and since there is now light source you can add some harder shadows.
Added some little orange high lights to the characters clothing, to give some interaction with the candle.
It's pretty quick and messy but i hope it you get what i'm trying to point out.

Is it actually possible to draw lips without shading and not have them look like shit?

No matter how skilled an artist is, whenever I see them do lineart for the lips it looks like trash.

I doodled a mouse knight last week so I decided to make a cat alchemist to go along with her.

>>3648517
what are you on about you just add a line below the mouth and tada, lips

>>3648688
Well I mean actual lips, not implied lips.

>>3648690
if its in an moe style it will probably look always like trash if you try to do more than just imply the lips; the less lines the better. You can try curving the mouth itself more (figure 1 and 2 only in pic related).

i'm not a furry btw but i find it fun to draw those things

Why am i still so bad?

Very moe! Thank you!
Yeah, I know I fucked up with the back sheath.

i really hope i don't wake up tomorrow, everything hurts and i wish i was dead

>>3648506
This is one of the most dynamic paintings I've seen from you yet. Especially love the wings and the motion they're giving off.

>>3647832
Do you have a blog or anything I can see, please?

How the fuck do I capture someone's likeness without just drawing them realistically? I'm /beg/ so the answer is probably just "draw more" and "loomis" but does anybody have any specific pointed tips that has helped them over this hurdle of just drawing what feels like sameface every time?

>>3649153
Look at what caricaturist do. You still need to learn good construction, anatomy and all that to make it look good but, it's about finding the elements of a person that stand out or are particular to them and exaggerate those or be selective about what makes them unique.

>>3649157
Makes sense. I definitely need practice distinguishing what makes X person's face look distinctly different from Y person's face

continuation. how is it?

>>3648708

Want to draw a girl space explorer, cautiously examining her surroundings. Do you find any of these poses particularly appealing?

>>3649230
Why is this so small o_o

>>3649213
The hat like so was bugging me out, shouldn't something like pic related be more meaningful for the design? I would even maybe change the neck band to cyan or bluish grey.
I think it's cute. Hands could be more interestingly done. I like the lollipop.

>>3649233
The ones I like the most are the first 4, starting from the left. The sense of caution when exploring shows pretty well on those. The last two look like more leisure stroll or staring at something far away.

>>3649275
I like the color change. Thanks man.

>>3649275
Heyy I continued to sketch before I read your comment but I think it makes sense! Ill see what this one looks like when i change the pose to number 4. Thanks!

>>3649255
too thicc

>>3649255
I want her to strangle me those thighs

>>3644054
holy shit this bike is going to be the end of me, and I can't fucking do the wheels
I just want to finish this soon
>>3644591
neat idea but yeah it's a static pose, I'll keep the angle shot in mind next time since I see what you mean

>>3648067
even more garbage

>>3649574
>garbage
>no garbage in the bin
retard

>>3649574
I like this one, but stop calling your art garbage anon. You probably do it to protect your ego "I already called it garbage so you don't have to, haha ha ha..." but this will affect your psychology and your relationship to your art negatively the more you do this.
Believe me, I have been there (and still do it sometimes)

>>3643309
I honestly don't. And it's tearing me up inside.

>>3649582
This, plus its just really fucking annoying and none of us care to hear it.

All it does is we either agree with you and call it trash, in which case you added nothing of value. It makes bad artists feel bad for not being "garbage" level. And it comes off as a whiney faggot's attempt at self depreciation and fishing for compliments, and nobody likes dealing with those faggots.

>>3649582
>>3649589
uhm yeah you're both right, and just to be clear I never mean it in a self-deprecation or attention seeking kind of way; just the default nmgi mentality, but desu I can see it come off as annoying and stupid.

Autodesk Sketchbook is fun, the pencils actually feel like pencils.

>>3643954
yikes

>>3649679
Do you draw for wikihow?

Does anyone have the infographic on Complex clothes geometry. For example
>Shows how clothes are normal witn geometry
>Then shows how when you put force on clothes such as tugging the top part stays Normal but the bottom part moves as the lines are stretched.
If anyone has this it would be great.

>>3649681
I wish

never will i be able to draw a good anime girl

>>3649792
i would like to kiss that anime girl

should i move forward with lineart? is her head too big??

>>3649792
breddy cute
>>3649933
It's a bit big but I think it fits with the style.

Been messing around with crosshatching and screentones lately.

>>3648791
no links but you can probably find me if you're clever

also don't call people mean words

>>3649938
i like everything but the head. it's way too busy compared to the rest of it

>>3649947
Yeah I think you're right. I went overboard on the crosshatching and the screentones made it even busier.

I feel like something's iffy about the colors on this.

>>3649938
I actually like the design of the head, but yeah, don't use two different shading styles in one place. If you're gonna use screen tones on everything else, just do that with the head too.

>>3650029
I like the characters a lot. But your horse anatomy game needs a study or two.

>>3650031
My main problem isn't with your palette, but with your values and where the light's coming from. I get the impression of a light coming from the top left, but you seem to be afraid to pinpoint it there. While I see a cast shadow on the grass I don't see any on the characters, which could really help sell how close they are. Also, the girl's eyes are odd. I think the further eye is too large horizontally and so doesn't give off the impression of wrapping around the head.

Anyway, could I get some crit on this? Something about the anatomy keeps bugging me, but I'm too inept to see exactly what it is.

>>3650062
that is my first horse, i guess i got a bit too confident, i will use a ref for redraw. thanks

>>3650062
I'll try redoing some of the shading, thanks for the crit.

>>3650031
What's your webco?

>>3649933
there's something off with her proportions. pussy's too high up i think

>>3650062
weird cloth folds make it look its a hand near her shoulder

Trying to force myself to draw cleaner.

>>3650126
do you like feet, anon

>>3650138
Not particularly, I don't draw them very often so I spent some extra effort on that part.

Where do I get cute mahou girl like poses? The reference images are all of boring hags

>>3650151
From mahou girl images duh

>>3649574

>>3649280 No biggie, I'm glad it worked for you.
>>3649287 No problem! Uphill exploration, looks challenging lol.
>>3649544 It's cleaning up nicely, aha! I see you adopted the wheel change I did, well for a static pose the wheel as you had it turning towards the viewer it was reasonable, probably just need some minor corrections. Keep it up!
>>3649574 I like the view you have going on there.
>>3650029>>3650076
Love what you have going on there. The horse does look a bit less skillful compared with the rest. >>3650067 That's the spirit.

>>3650062 The face looks really aggressive and mean. >Before morning coffee
I guess it makes sense. One of the breast is magically holding up, the far away one, or the nearest is not being pushed up. Not sure that piece of clothing you got there has just one side cup. The pose is a bit odd, feels like starting to walk forward but standing still? Conflicts a bit.

>>3650126
I guess it's a nice goal but you can always clean up with an overlay or another layer, much easier than trying to make clean lines right of the bat.


I'll leave this nonsense here, stuff I decided to start doing to relax and experiment. Anything goes.

Stepping away from my normal style.
Listen to this while lookin i guess

>>3650481
i like it! i like the intentionally wonky perspective, helps add to the off kilter mood, great piece! would you be comf sharin where you post online?

>>3650481
holy fugg anon that thing is amazing

>>3650503
Thanks, yeah, the image is based originally off a doorway I found in Hong Kong wandering around at night in 2017.
>>3650505
Gerdktm is my tumblr, only just starting to post again, as Ive got a contact in an animation studio, and is willing to recommend me to her higher ups if I can do some more stuff for my portfolio that fits their style. Expect more soon.

Oops, got confused which post said what, sorry haha, it’s late.

Thanks a bunch though, it means a lot

>>3650529
>>3650532
your background work is really good, i love it, an good luck on job!! (and no worries, we all goof up sometimes hahasdf)

Values and colors took a nosedive so I'll just let this one rest. At least it brought about some tool changes.

>>3649143
fuuka2rin on twitter

>>3647937
Oh and thanks for the help.

>>3650740
Left is nice.

>>3650203
something sort of different

>>3650836
Thanks. Her face went better than expected. I think I want to use smaller eyes in the future though.

>>3650432
I don't usually like caricatures but there's something nice about your style, good work anon.

>>3650865

its good that you draw a lot, but this whole alias gig you got going on is not working out for you

>>3651078
I like your work a whole lot, it somehow reminds me of like Jet Set
Radio, v cool

>>3651094
It's not alias, it's just hard round 1px pencil because autism; I'm still trying to find a brush I feel comfortable in, have tried a bunch but don't like em. I absolutely agree though while I've seen improvements in the quality of my lines, perspective and form as compared to when I started, I'm on the exact same level of rendering and feel kind of stuck on cellshading, i just don't know where to start about rendering at all.

>>3651151
Thank you anon, that's some very nice wordes

>>3643309
i catch the train to and from work and take a small drawing pad and a pen with me and just draw people i see on the other side of the tracks while im waiting

>>3648506
Also wanted to chime in and say this is definitely one of your best

>>3651207
that is alias you fucking turd, its not soft whats so ever.

>>3651220
yeah I thought you meant like some sort of setting sorry

>>3643309
get some exercise or drink coffee in the afternoon so you feel awake at night

What's the best time to post on Pixiv (using Nip time as a reference point)?

>>3651263
probs during nip 12pm or so

>>3651263
6PM-12PM Japan time

>>3651236
this desu

gym or even just running helps so much

>>3651274
Interesting, I thought good time would be 6AM nip time or something

>>3651340
>6AM nip time
People go to work/ school at this hour so it's not really a good time to post. Most nips post in the evening

>>3651078

>>3650432
>I guess it's a nice goal but you can always clean up with an overlay or another layer, much easier than trying to make clean lines right of the bat.
You're not wrong. But, for me personally, I feel like I'm reliant on messy sketches to avoid having to render things I have trouble with (hands, ears, etc). It's just a habit I'm trying to break so I work more decisively and thoughtfully from sketch to finish.

So I'm new and essentially fresh out of the begginers area. How do I start on stylization? I wanna do stuff along with my regular studies.

>>3651488
you study/copy a bunch of your favorite artists, analyze their style, how each artist stylize and exaggerate their piece etc

>>3651443
Well, if that's the case then it's what I call, stumbling in the dark, see if you get lucky and find the keys. It's just easier to know where the keys are. So, study the things you can't create a mental image clearly, and you will get better lines just because you will know how they look and how to place them.

>>3651207
just use the normal hard/soft brush, they are the standard, even if you don't like them I'd say at least try get proficient at them

idk how to connect pelvis to body

>>3651929
you learn anatomy

Hey, I recently got some feedback regarding the inking on this, specifically line weight not being distinct enough to distinguish stuff, and compositions getting muddied. The left is page 90, the right is page 92. 92 has the changes I made.
How does it look?

>>3643857
true enough, I should add more feet to my visual library.

>>3643827
I had to use ref for the horse part.

>>3652118
you can rely on more than just line weights you know. the 2nd panel is a bit much- youve over-exaggerated the lines for the characters

>>3651431

>>3651629
>mfw you get a reply on your art

>>3652179
What would you recommend?

>>3643363
Retard stare.

I am dissatisfied with my electricity. A brief google search is disappointing. Anyone have any notes off the top of their head?

>>3652289

>>3652289
Look at pictures of lightning. It has more of a tree branch look than a zig zag.

here's a thing

whats good or bad before I upload it please

>>3652325
ignoring the weird perspective ( I think its okay, things don't have to be perfect and its nice you tried an extreme angle like that) her hands are wrong, the thumbs should be on the otherside *unless* her arms are crossed, if that is the case then it isn't very well implied. Th other thing would be the face. Overall I say you did well, just wrap it up and move on to the next one, do recommend you try doing studies and stuff, it will help you greatly

>>3652325
that perspective is astonishingly fucked

>>3652332
shit I can't believe I missed the thumbs being fucked up, I'll fix it. As for the face yea that was a struggle just trying to get better at perspectives like this, thanks for the input.

>>3652348
at least I tried man, it'll get better (hopefully) after the next 100 others I do

>>3652325
almost the entire drawing is bad. wrong hand orientation, hiding arms when ur not suppose to, face structure is fucked and one of the boobs has tumor.

>>3652386
>at least I tried man, it'll get better (hopefully) after the next 100 others I do
good attitude

>>3647855
another one

What are things I should improve on ?

>>3652528
Fundies

>>3652416
cuuute (if its a girl)

>>3652528
The character has an appealing face and the body doesn't let out serious issues, maybe comoile a bunch of your drawings and I could tell you where you make mistakes?

Regardless of that, I think it all depends on wether or not you feel like you need to improve, in which case all you have to do is begin doing studies of real life, figure drawing daily is the most helpful exercise you can do

not too happy with the hair, anything else look wrong ?

>>3652656
The wrist and hand look like a square. Hair is alright otherwise.

>>3652656
aesthetics

Hope this is the right thread, kind of a wow warlock lady.
Background is kind of a place holder I just threw together.

How much do I wish for more time I can spend drawing

>>3652740
CUTE CUTE CUTE CUTE

>>3647636
Thats nice. Got more cards? Even though thtats not in the tarot.

>>3652587
What is it with people using this 1 px brush, it's just ruining it

>>3652691
Work on solid black and white before color, fundies are fucked, color is a mess cause you don't get lighting and volumes yet.
You could still color but don't spend a lot time doing it if the rest is wrong. You should be able to color roughly and quickly for a better result than this anyway, when you'll get your basics right

>>3653172
>people
it's just me i think

>>3652740
How much do I wish for the ability to put my free time into drawing.
The dress, legs, and arms look great. The headshape and torso can be improved. They're both slightly turned to the right, but they're drawn as if they're pointing straight forward.

>>3652587
>(if its a girl)
did i made her manly? she's minako from p3p that i'm doing right now for /v/ halloween collab
>>3652528
his ear is on his neck

>>3653227
no not at all, it was just the short hair and flat chest, I didn't notice the boobes until I looked at it again
