/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

I'm going to print this cat portrait for my dad christmas present. What do you think I should focus on for my next pieces? Personnally I think I need to learn how to make metals and learn how to make a more polished rendering. It probably lacks in volume too.
What do you think I should work on, /ic/?

Crit my urban sketch please

reeeeeeeeeeee

Stop falling for the OP nazifag spamposter's bait threads. He was banned in the past for a good reason. Everyone just report, sage and hide the thread.

>>3734352
This is really fucking cute. If I was your dad I'd be tickled.

I love the OP pic.

Why am I seeing it all the time all over 4chan?

>not putting DRAW THREAD in the title

I almost refuse to post out of protest

I’ve been doing this on the iPad so it’s tough to keep track of how dark everything is. I’ll at least lighten it up in photoshop later

>>3734892
B-blog? <:3c

Any suggestions on an art program to move onto from Paint? I grew up pretty poor without any art resources outside of MS Paint and a mouse, but now I've finally got a bit of Christmas money to put towards a tablet/Art program.

I LOVE YOU RAD GIRL AMIA POSTER

>>3735304
ayyy thanx anon

>>3733812
drew this while on a boat in amsterdam, the boat was moving fast so i had 2 mix imagination with observation.

also sis a bit of post processing online

45 min photo study

Messed up the initial shapes.
Perspective is off.
Now just playing with values

>>3734353

Nice feeling. Add more shade and texture to the buildings. Like your rendering technique though. What medium?

Here's what I've been working on.

>>3734929
It depends on what you're planning to do with your art. I find that Photoshop and Sai are both good for digital painting. However Sai is way easier to learn, its interface is way more intuitive, coming from the fact that this soft is specialized for digital painting.
Photoshop on the other hand is a more general program (it's probably the less task specific of the whole Adobe suite). You have way more options for tweaking, ajusting stuff but learning the interface ( to the point it becomes natural) takes more time.

>>3734566
Thanks anon!

>>3735422
I would like to do lewd things to her

left hand is janky but I can't find reference material for a hand in that position.

>>3735697
and other thing i'm working on, she needs a head. Decapitation is just a placeholder while i fix some lineweight stuff and add some more things.

>>3735405
I like the composition a lot. I'd do some things to draw visual interest to certain areas, though. Such as a heavier lineweight around the outline of the person, and a separate one around the buildings to the right to break up the picture a bit.

>>3735697
don't you have a hand? like cmon...

>>3735714
I don't have a camera anon, am poor as shit. Can't really look at my own hand in that position without it.

>>3735697
Hand, mirror, phone camera. Best choice is yourself if lacking in reference material.

>>3735716
Sorry I posted before reading your rebuttal. Is there a position where you could sit with a mirror and observe your hand in that position? Even a rough sketch with your right hand would give you enough to finesse later. Once you've got it in as a rough draft you can check in the mirror every couple of minutes to make sure you're refining the shape correctly.

If no smartphone, mirror or PC with webcam etc, then ask a friend to take a photo of their hand in that position with their phone, and email it to you perhaps?

>>3735699
Decapitated is more artsy, if you can be arsed to finish two drawings with and without the head, they can serve as a nice narrative idea for your blog/soc media.
Well have fun, whatever you wanna do with it.

Use krita it's free and more than a match for clip paint studio

>>3736498
Blog?

>>3736507
What did you use to learn to draw hands? hands are my achilles heel

>>3736526
I'm glad that you like it!
Just like everyone I watched youtube tutorials about it (Draw with Jazza have a memorable one) and random tutorials from deviantart - it was a nice start. I've read How To Render by Scott Robertson - I didn't finish studying it yet (it's a hard book), but it helped a bit with figuring out shadows and reflected light. I tried reading Bridgmans Constructive Anatomy, but it was too difficult for me and it was hard to actually use that anatomical knowledge, when tendons and muscles are hidden anyway beneath a layer of fat. I've spend more time reading Hamptons Figure Drawing instead - it's simpler.

But to be honest the book that helped me the most was Keys to Drawing. It describes many methods of measuring distances - they help a lot when drawing from life. It's A LOT easier to draw my own hand than to memorise correct proportions and construct one from imagination.

I gave up on figuring out how to draw from imagination without refs (like Kim Jung Gi does) - it's just too difficult for me. Maybe I'll try learning it later, after a decade or two, but for now I'm using as many references as I can.

>>3736507
Cool. Though what’s your skill currently without a reference?

where do i find references to practice more dynamic angles like pic related?

Mouth and nose are off
It looks like he was slapped with a greasy pancake on his lower face left side

>>3735986
You gotta know which gun you're drawing. Where's the grip? Where's the handguard? Adapt her position to the weapon she's holding.

Those vague lines remind me of a thompson, so check ref pics for it.

i really hate the monster and feel like it probably shows a lot of my weaknesses....

crit pls
need to find things to work on...

>>3737477
And the faggot of the year award goes to this guy. Congratulations, clutched it with only a few days left.

The background is just reused from something else I did

>>3737657
fix her nose

>>3734352
very cool

>>3737664
I like those bright, cheerful colours.
Your hands and feet kinda suck: the way big toe of her left foot is attached is weird, and hands are just awkward. Her arms have weird proportions, double check with your ref.
Perspective of her head is off as well: eye that's closer to the viewer should be lower a bit, not on the same level as her other eye.
I am a bit surprised with your design of this futuristic laptop - they seem to follow a trend of making them smaller, thinner each year, so seeing something so clunky is unexpected.
And I think that background with anal beads is a really nice touch.

anything before I start coloring?

>>3737723
ctrl + a then delete

>>3737723
its so boring

why even bother?

No way you poser

revisiting something I never finished

Still doing values.
And playing:)

>>3737947
what medium and what size of paper?
Your balls look really smooth.

>>3737953
>Your balls look really smooth.

>>3737953
This paper sucks ass.
Strathmore 300 in the ring binder.
Pencils.
I’m using a chamois and a paintbrush, synthetic sable I think, and a kneeled eraser of course.
On the subject of my balls, like I tell absolutely every girl I meet, you gotta take your time:)
I laid...yeah that’s right..in some graphite with hb, some with 2B, and brushed, and then blended with the chamois, and then did it over as I got the shapes of the shadows right, going super lightly.
I happened into it as you can tell with the other objects.
I just gotta be patient with the other stuff.

>>3737783

Did you copy 2b's tits

>>3737959
Huh, I've never heard of using a paintbrush with graphite pencils before. Sounds cool, I'll check it out.
Thanks Anon! Just your tip was enough to leave me completely satisfied.

Reminded me of El Greco's paintings of Toledo. Great work.
>>3735988
Amazing
>>3737657
I suppose keep on grinding that anatomy, the face is already nice but not sure about the rest. Is this smoke coming from her mouth? Not sure how I feel about this bit. Nice colors tho!
>>3737783
Beautiful lineart

I will take suggestions on what I can improve in this piece. I've been working on it for too long, i really don't know

Finally finished this one after months of laying it off.

High praise indeed. Thank you.

As for your question on improvement, I think this is a pretty good representation of the kind of style that you seem to be going for. If you want to make it more interesting, you might want to pick a more novel color palette. Leaving the quality of the show aside, Steven Universe's backgrounds are a great place to crib from in this regard.

>>3739446
Post your art.

Not used to drawing eyes shut. Does the face work?

finished

a close-up on the hatching

>>3739502
the eyes are slightly askew, also note how the skin folds down around the eyes and what those lines might look like

>>3738688
I dig the aesthetic, composition feels a little empty

Fanart of Dusa of Hades (supergiantgames)

Yet more graphite applied.
If you guys aren’t doing from life drawings, you are really missing out.
With this still life I find myself continuously going up to the thing real close and figuring out what shadow is coming from where, what is causing “X” reflection, i.e. lightening my form shadow, etc.
This is what photos do not give you the opportunity to learn.
Photos take the 3rd dimension and flatten it out to a 2 dimension for you... just giving you shapes to copy...and you end up missing all the “whys” of how light behaves and bounces around.
Granted, my forms are off and the perspective is laughable but I think I’m starting to learn to capture the feeling of the light.

I’m trying to take lighting cues from pic related on left for this desert urban scene. Why does this look so wrong? I tried to light up the chars left and front side with warm bounce light from the super bright sand in front and to the left of her. Redline or paint over would be appreciated

>>3733812
wip

>>3739455
>art memes.

>>3734892
Still frogging around with this

>>3739926
Pardon me for giving unasked for advice but i like the picture so much i want to try to give something back in hopes to help you improve.

first thing, her right (our left) cheek should be lit less i think since it appears to be a very focussed light source and the cheek wraps away from the light source

second thing, it feels like the face needs some hard edges somewhere. your soft rendering on the fur and hair is gorgeous (you dont happen to have some pointers / tips / thoughts on how to do hair like you did here?) but it leaves the eye "searching" for lack of better explanation for a focal point in the face.
even though you do have hard edges for example in the nose and eyes, there is something missing it feels.

keep it up ^_^

Colored my OC today.

>>3737657
The face is clear and well rendered. Her nose has multiple visible planes and blue tones that contrast the red and pinks of her hair. Where this picture really lacks is in the proportions and the shading/color theory. The proportion problem of the connection to the head (which is often drawn by itself in early practice) to the shoulder/s body is a common thing for starting artists. While the face shows dimension, the shoulders, hair, and hand feel flat and stiff. The other issue is the color. While the piece shows understanding of shadow and light placement, it is heavily dulled through overuse of shading with straight grey. While greys are important, they come naturally through the mixture of other colors incoorperated into the image. I like the hints of blues and purples in the nose and cheeks- push that even further! So TL;DR : connect the head to the body more by just drawing more studies, and watch some videos on color theory.
(sorry for typos I'm pretty drunk rn but I felt like spreading love)

>>3739923
I think you need heavier contrast on the figure.The way you shade her makes the light look equally distributed when I don't think that's what you're going for.

>>3740020
post your art.

Did this study of a sculpture today

Update

>>3739647
you got a blooooggggg? i like your stuff

>>3741558
You still haven't fixed that god awful drapery between the legs.

>>3740294
i'm glad you like it and I thank you for the critique and kind words my good sir :))

I'm not trying to have a focused light source but more like a cuz I want to have the face have a kind of not-so-realistic soft glow, but I shall take that into account
You're completely right about the edges but i just haven't gone into any detail yet and thats when i'll decide where to put hard edges and yea the face will defintely be the focal point.

I think I did the fur pretty shit haha it was just a really lazy attempt at implying leapord fur. As for the hair, though i still find it hard to draw the main things i try to keep in mind is

>long, flowy, confident strokes of hair
>use highlights and darks clearly to show form and differentiate strands of hair

And also I pretty much only use the mixer brush if that's any help ha

>>3741565
A little bit more to go on?

>>3740944
Love the clean directional hatching.

>>3741558
where is her neck attached?

sketch for a new piece

working on some of my own IP stuff, sort of related to Made in Abyss, but not pedo shit and completely different apart from a big fuck-off hole in the ground

what do you think of my 5 minute drunk sketch? frankly im proud of it.

>>3742543
The figure is hard to read, when everything is close to the same shade of gray.

today's studies

So I did another study. Love to hear your thoughts.

>>3735422
I like this very much.

>>3741558
what is going on with that spine, and why is an asscrack in the middle of where a side plane of her ass should be?
You should've just made this a side view / up view instead of breaking her spine and making the lower half fucked, my guy.

My last piece this year

>>3743587
Jealous of shading, she’s got kind of a gorillaz character lip thing going on.

did a landscape

>>3743706
my only criticism is that the leaves (not the fronds) on the trees and bush seem really unconfident. Like you aren't sure how you like to paint them yet. Maybe do some more focused studies shrubbery and small leaves in bunches.

>>3738483
THAT DAMN FLICKERING FAUX HALFTONE

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>3743706
I feel like the platypus fur is too textured and finely details, and could be more simplified to better match the rest of your work, pyr0. I also agree with the other poster about the leaves.

Thumbnail sketch of next illustration

>>3740224
Still still frogging around with this.

Are the plants too much?

>>3743764
Thanks! Yea i must agree, ill focus more on the leaves next time
>>3743772
Aww but i was so proud of that fur!! I made it detailed to drag more attention towards the animal. But yea it does seem kinda off style.

>>3743756
haha yeah I noticed that and the accidental paint on the sleeve/hair afterwards. After I post here all of a sudden I become aware of any flaws.

>>3743776
God tier cool light. Can I see your blog?

>>3743760
wheres the landscape?

Here a painting I did a few days ago, any critique is appreciated.

>>3744083
tree shape could be more interesting and more characteristic, the trunk is very cool

>>3744105
why did you outline the skin but not the hair?

>>3744083
nice.

>>3744162
I removed it to add more tiny strands of hair to not stand out and look more natural

I need some help with anatomy D:
I don't know if this is the rgiht thread.
The one on the left is the first sketch and the one on the right is the second one. Please help

do i get to be in this thread? /beg/ wont fucking answer my questions. does this look to cluttered/busy?

>>3744267
the right part of the painting is too striking which are the pilars at the back, tone down the colors or add depth (adding white fog) on them to pop the center part of the painting.

>>3743776
gas one of them
>>3743774
king cold?
>>3743706
more practice on the environment or just fight the laziness
>>3742977
That woman design is nice, you could change the arm design or add something to it

>>3736498
nice anon

Any help with the fg? I'm not sure how to approach it, due to all the stuff going, it either doesn't read or the colors are bad (or both).

Will it be sufficient to clean up the bg, or does something more need to be done?

>>3744240
good dynamic sillouette!!~ i think the main issue is in the hips. one side should be higher than the other, because now she looks stiff

>>3744267
not busy, but the focus is off. I see the pillars before i see the bathtub, so create more lights and contrast around what you went the viewer too see first/ see as most important

>>3743706
brush texture?

Something real quick I did for this thread >>>/co/105023961

Crit? I might work back into it and do more poses of this character, and probably refine the design.

>>3745702

Guess I could have staggered them a bit.

>>3734929
a photoshop subscription is good, illustrator is probably the better option really though but some folks don't like it too much, if you can afford a cheap mac you can use processing where you can code your own brushes which is great!

really great sketch though! i was very impressed this was done in paint :D

Which brush sets do you guys recommend for Clip Studio Paint?

Trying to do a value study, anything outstandingly bad? I feel like I've been looking at this two long and would appreciate a fresh pair of eyes.

>>3746552
nice, just keep it up and you'll be ahead of your peers once you hit middle school

This is a work in progress of a gift I'm making for a girl I like. She showed me The Bee Movie, and now we joke about it quite a bit.

>>3746565
do not

>>3746566
Solid advice, I'm gonna do it anyway.

I know this might be completely retarded, but here is what I was thinking about.
What if I completely ditch construction in my drawings and try to practice visualising as the main goal of the year?
I have thought about that before but then I would always return to the conclusion that ultimately for complex pieces it might be hard to keep it all in your minds eye, but the more I think about it the more it feels like a cop out.
Is there a training regime made specifically to train visualization and minds eye? Other than the obvious doing usual studies but practicing minds eye as much as possible.
The ideal would be to have abilities similar to Kim Jung Gi.

>>3746569
feelsbadman

>>3746578
kim jung gi is where he is because he's a master of construction

you cant build a helicopter by envisioning a perfect helicopter and then just trying to fit all the pieces together. nothing but wishful thinking

>>3746551
It always helps to squint my eyes while looking at a thumbnail of values.
I believe there needs to be slightly more contrast overall in the study and especially the highlights, while they are indeed soft as fuck they seem to be a tiny bit more prominent in the original.

>>3746562
WHY DOES EVERYONE HATE MY ART what the fuck

>>3746585
it can't possibly be because you're not very good

>>3746581
I understand that, but at the same time I think that clearly he has developed his minds eye a lot more than most artists even attempt to.
I have this gut feeling that I am overwhelmingly dependant on construction on paper Vs truly actually understanding the form, and that I've neglected my mind's eye.

>>3746580
For real though, do you think there's anything wrong with the drawing? I've been having troubles with drawing eyes specifically, but I think these ones turned out alright for once.

>>3746590
Everything is bad, go to the beginner thread anon.
All of it is awkward symbol drawing with zero attempt to understand any form.

>>3746582
Thanks, I will work on that. Really appreciate it!

>>3746596
Hmm, bad how exactly? I mostly just practice anatomy stuff by drawing girls, so I think I'm getting that down, but I'll give it a look.

>>3746599
No problem, and again I think it's a really subtle change mostly in highlights, be careful anon.

>>3746601
Your eyes are literally mirrored symbols, everything on the face is a flat 2d plane essentially.
Anon, I mean it when I say that there is quite literally no construction in your drawing at the moment. Please for your own sake start studying forms with simple shapes and move up to Anatomy.
There is no point in studying Anatomy for you yet because it is essentially a big interconnected net of complex shapes in 3d space bound together, yet you don't even understand how a simple shape like a cube would work in 3 dimensional space.

Was bored so I draw this very fine pussy. Tell me what you think about it.

>>3746610
I think she has downs

>>3746607
I see, thanks for clarifying.

>>3746613
Who knows, I'm no man to judge. I'd still bang the shit out of her downed ass. But I'd like to think it resorts more from my approximate ability to draw.

>>3746627
Can you post some of your studies? I can't tell if it's an unlucky piece or an actual skill problem.

Are there any good books/tutorials for colored pencils?

>>3746628
I usually draw from head, this was actually the closest thing resembling of a study I did in a while. ( the vulva I mean ) I do "studies" while I'm outside usually.

>>3746628
I think both parts of the drawing are conflicted. I intended to focus solely on the pussy, but in the end I added the head 4fun, with zero construction. Hey, it's part of the process right

How do I study body horror? Devilman kind of stuff with organs bursting out of skin.

What high profile jobs? Are you mistaking me for someone? I work in advertising

>>3746803
didnt you do a page for the New Yorker? maybe i am.
i guess i consider that a high-profile job as im working a computer job for the man.

>>3746807
Hahaaaa New Yorker. Maybe in a million years. But Im gonna take it as a compliment

>>3746815
not as far as you think, i would work on exposure if you can consistently pump out pieces like that.

If you throw in some "TUCK FRUMP" messages they'll scoop you right up

i always subconsciously give any character i draw bad posture & it makes them look so fucking ugly

something i did from my head, grabbed a lot of inspiration from the secretary at my work. who by the way is smoking hot. ( i never draw this kind of stuff,but got bored)

>>3743760
The thumbnail looks very good

>>3746956
Values on her left arm are a bit flat, so it feels kinda dead. But it's just nitpicking.

Bigger issues are the bright area in the bottom right corner. With the strong brightness and contrasts it steals too much attention imo.
Also I'd say you have too much rain. It blocks the view and disturbs the image.

Also, that bottom foot looks really fucking weird desu

Gonna get better at environments this year.

Anything I should have done differently or should think about when doing stuff like this?

About 80% done this, could i get a critique before I bring it to completion?

Reed switch near door hinge, enabling people to creek the door opening without triggering an alarm.

What I assume are deadbolts at the top and bottom of the door, allow the middle section of the door to be easier broken with a battering ram.

Exposed wires and terminal accessible within arms reach of the door.

Only two hinges on the door, what is it a lightweight hollow door?

A door chain? If you have to open the door to receive a small package the chain won't protect much when someone gives it good hard kick. You already have a peep hole too look through.

Please never say ''I was bored'' when introducing a piece of artwork. You sound like a 13 year old trying to preemptively deflect criticism. It looks good dude, have some pride and try being excited to share stuff.

>>3748033

Well all I meant was I had nothing to do and no inspiration, and found it in an episode of a tv show.

>>3737642
no disrespect anon, but your assumtion is correct. it does not look bad, you draw better than me, but you could use some more practice. keep doing your best though!

>>3737642
Why would his leg be over the monsters front leg like that.

>>3747110
>>3747112
Cool. Mind sharing your blog?

>>3747990
You should work on your drawing skills to get proportions right. As it is now everything is a bit off and it looks uncanny.

You should also work on your values and how to shade using planes to create depth. And for a beginner you should practice with grayscale before you do color, because it's easier to learn values that way.

But I still think drawing is more important for you right now. Get construction and proportions right and the rest is pretty straight forward

>>3747534
Why people think this art style looks good is beyond me. It looks like somebody sneezed paint onto a canvas and it just so happened to look like frieza

help me.

>>3749046
What is your perspective?
Use more reference, especially for the character and the lumpy pillow creature
Use props to enhance the composition better
Hash out your character/story more for set design
Figure out your lighting. Also dont be afraid to use black.
Clean your lines if you're going to show them.

>>3749091
yeah because real life totally always has perspective and structure

>>3749111

>>3749132
Not that anon but >>3749111 comment is so fucking dumb it doesn't even deserve a counter argument. It screams "I don't want to improve". You do you.

The costume seems to blend in just a bit too much with the shorts imo. Try creating a bit more contrast maybe?

>>3733812

>>3746565
Have a look at this futa blowjob hentai that somehow ended up on my pc. Pay extra attention to the planes of the girl's face. How, under the brow, the nose tucks inwards and how the eyes actually feel sunk into the face etc. This stuff is important, Loomis' head and hands book has a section on it too.

Leaving some randomness.

>>3749410
Very hard to read figure

>>3749420
Fucking love it anon. Looks great.

original file was corrupted, had to start over

>>3749017
it was a prelim sketch, don't be so raw

Still figuring out crosshatching. Try not to stare at Nightwing's weird bulge.

I was doing some gesture training because I am pretty bad at gesture and flexible stuff and I ended up with a gesture and a character that I actually enjoy.
I got back from work and did some quick coloring. Where do you think I can take this design wise to make it more interesting? Body markings of some sort?

>>3749666

The guy doesn’t look good at all
That’s a vague expression

Feel the emotion you want him to express as if you were him, then do it again.

>>3741558
The main issue is that I do not understand how can her neck be attached at that angle
Additionally either her back is missing or her waist is turned at an unnatural angle.
Otheriwse it looks nice.

>>3743760
>Literal moron brainlets that don't understand what a thumbnail is complaining about the picture.

>>3745433
The nose and above are pushed far back making her look like a pinhead. You need to extend the upper portion of her head or line up her mouth.

Draw a red straight line through the center of her mouth and nose and you see it.

>>3749530
The bottom of the torso gets bottle necked which isn't really bad. It reminds me of his actual body type, but from what I can tell most times the lower portion of the torso ends near the length of the elbow.

Overall I think it's well done. I hope to see the final version.

>>3746956
Her feet are weird though.
Please tell me where I can see more of your work. I love this style. What is this for?

I never draw faces because I'm petrified of doing so. Every time I draw a figure it's some kind of robot / astronaut with an opaque visor over their face. Finally just beat my head against the wall over and over until I got some meaningful progress.

>>3749410
What the fuck is going on in his head

What is wrong with me? I don’t understand highlights and I think his head is blending in with his neck. I know where the high lights go but I can’t get the color. I might just look at fur studies.

I’m doing this in Procreate.

>>3741558

>>3737723
his face is kind of narrow but that was probably intentional

>>3744105
maybe some shadow under her fringe

>>3749910
Paint on a gray background instead of white and you'll find highlights and shadows much easier to manage.

What should I draw right now?

>>3749958
Thanks that actually helped. I’ll show my work when I get finished shading and highlighting.

Demons usually have some body markings. Since he's some sort of kung-fu demon, you can add things related to martial arts or just some random dragons but with a demonic twist.

I love your design btw.

>>3750394
Yeah but I don't want to go the genetic tattoo way.
I'm thinking about giving him scarring of some sort, or like one of those Cody l body markings that Island tribes do with shark teeth.
Once I get home, I think I will try another dynamic gesture and do it more cleanly so I can turn it into a proper drawing. Something that has a more open chest.

>>3747112
oh my god im in love with you and want to draw like you

>>3749666

Nice

Please crit me and make me cry

>>3741558

your art is usually good but I really wish youd try to develop a more aesthetic way of drawing faces.

>>3749330
punk ass nigga get the fuck out my mothafuckin face. get the fuck on, BITCH!

>>3737657
the rendering is really good but i feel like you should work more on the shadows. i cant tell if this is traditional or digital but i think you shouldnt shade with black, especially on the skin. i think the hand is a little too small and stiff? anyways thats it!

>>3750616
The fuck do you mean by the rendering is good?
The values are extremely muddy, the soft and hard surfaces are all mixed and nonexistent and the texture is weird as fuck.
The main suggestion is to think more about the values in the painting.

>>3741558
How are your faces, that are so distinctively and uniquely yours, so incredibly awful? How do you wake up every day and bring yourself to draw something like this and then pretend like you're getting better? Your anatomy is always off, your pillow shade to yet another mundane effort, but yet you post this work like you're proud of it in several threads.

Don't kid yourself. You're an awful artist.

>>3750737
i'd like to see you post something better mr genius

>>3750745
I'd like to see you not defend poorly drawn practices, beginner. How about that. Unless you're OP, then you go ahead and defend your work anonymously. Feed that ego.

>>3750761
>he still hasn't posted some of his own works
ah, not an artist, eh? figured.

>>3750767
>an obvious artist who doesn't post their work because they're scared of being shit on
Ah, scared to post yours, eh? Figures.

>>3750770
i asked first genius

>>3750767
Was it the beginner jab that set you off? Most beginner artists tend to defend that.

>>3750773
What are you afraid of? You're obviously better than me, you know how to draw, so I don't see why someone pointing out obvious flaws should set you off. Why don't you post something better and show us how's its done, you're the artist.

Beginner artist, let's not beat around the bush with that. I don't know how to draw, but you have some idea how to.

What do you beginners love to say around here?

Oh yes. Post your work.

>>3750773
But you won't, because if you can bring yourself to defend flaws like that, chances are, your work is just as bad, if not worse.

But, you can prove me wrong at any time.

>>3750784
LMAO you don't even know how to draw but you criticize other artists that are at a level you'll never reach?? Why should anyone care about your opinion on art lmao
>>3750788
i'm just asking if the person criticizing can do it better than the artist.

>>3750773
I don't even have to draw and I can post something drawn better, and with your animu standards in play.

Can you post any of your art, better than this? I highly doubt, either of you can.

>>3750789
see >>3750795
Unlike you, I don't have shit taste in art, nor do I defend shit art.

>>3749417
Alright thanks, I feared that might be the case. I need to work on my forms a lot more.

>>3749856
My head or the characters head? Ha. Dunno, what do you think it's going on?

>>3749667
I really like the energy, awesome pose. Probably could use some meaner face.

>>3749420
Reads really well. Lightning could use some glow too? Or particles, those are nice.

Leaving another randomness.

>>3750789
It sucks to know you'll never reach this level or art, doesn't it? >>3750795

But you can always prove me wrong by posting your work and see if it holds a candle to the example I found.

Please, show us.

>>3750806
>>3750796
>>3750795
show something you made yourself please
im still waiting

>>3750808
I already told you I don't draw, beginner. You're the one who can, show me up and post your shit already.

Waste me. I'd love to see what kind of garbage you upload to try to make me look bad. lol

>>3750814
>>3750808
>show your work!
>no you show YOUR work
>no u!!
You both know this will go nowhere so what the fuck are you doing?

>>3750819
Mind your business, no one asked you.

>>3750808
That's what I thought, beginner. All bark and no bite, you have shit taste in art and you defend retarded artists who showcase the same flaws in their work as you do.

I don't have to draw to know when shit looks like shit. And I can always pull up better drawn works within the "weeb" range just to shut you up.

>>3750819
It's truly the big yikes oof edition of this thread.

>>3750829
>>3750814
*yawn*
i don't know why you keep replying if it's not with an image that is at least as good as the thing you're criticizing.

>>3750833
>i don't know why you keep replying if it's not with an image that is at least as good as the thing you're criticizing.

Your words, not mine.

So you think this drawing >>3741558 is better than this one? >>3750795

Am I reading you correctly?

>>3750833
That's laughable, you know that.

Remarkable.

>>3750851
i think my point still stands because i know you didn't draw either drawing
>>3750858
prove me wrong

>acknowledging non artist subhuman shitposters

>>3750859
But my tastes are better than yours. I uploaded this >>3750795

But yet you defend this >>3741558

I did prove you wrong, beginner. You're just too stupid to read it with your own eyes.

I can see why you defend shit art now. Thanks for proving me right.

>>3750871
>he STILL thinks his opinion matters on anything art related
you're being kinda cringe right now to be honest

>>3750867
>wishing their art was the one used as a better example

>>3750877
Your reply, is the definition of cringe. lol

>>3750891
not the guy you replied to, but you're definitely in the wrong here. just to let you know.

>>3750543
Nobody critted me so my drawing must have zero flaws.

Thank you....

Thank you /ic/...

I finished this after procrastinating on it for like forever. It's one of those "draw this in your style" challenges; the character isn't mine, but thought it was cool enough to give it a try.
