KOLOSKO class scout ships are happily at home engaging in illegal activities or sitting in an offworld scrapyard.

time to shill my unfinished shit huehuehue stay tuned

>>4057387
Her left boob is a bit too high, stomach is too small for those legs even if it's your style.

>>4057399
Thanks anon! I'll fix it :^)

omg are you the moonrunes anon?

Haha hehe pokemon

>>4057592
shit dude can you answer me I've been a long time fan of your work

>>4057778
X and y x and y

>>4057780
Sure thing bud hit it at me

>>4057781
>>4057778
Your stuff is fantastic, I love it

>>4057781

I've been making some lasso tool stuff. It's nice for thumbnails and storyboards

little hesitant to post outside of /beg/, but it's not like i was getting much feedback there
i hope i didn't break her back or arms…

>>4057984
Even she's befuddled at that weird ass pose.

>>4057984
its definitely not /beg/ tier, but her right arm is most definitely fucked.

practice more gesture drawing!

animal studies r fun because your brain doesn't know they look bad on an instinctual level like with humans

I drew a gang of street toughs

>>4057984
>>4058023
I agree with this guy, the whole pose is executed unbelievably, make gesture drawing part of your schedule

>>4058137
Here’s a man enjoying a nice summer day

>>4058042
these are pretty good though anon! id just add some simple values to make them pop

>>4058002
>>4058023
>>4058142
thanks fellas, i can see it now
when i first sketched it she was leaning forward more and it looked more natural, but after number of adjustments it ended up like this
gotta stop slacking off i guess

>>4058137
>>4058163
Absolute chads

Did this as a warm-up sketch, gonna try studying now

>>4057826
good shit, how'd you use the lasso tool for that actually?

>>4058355
thanks anon
just polygonal lasso and I paint it in with a textured brush, every shape has a layer

>>4058402

I really love Inuyasha <3

Going to let this one sit overnight.

>tmw sending your data across the glob from your phone, so it can do the trip back to your pc, is faster than using an 1.5 m usb cable between the two

>>4058466
Very appealing lines and shading there. Wish I could do that, make expressive strokes without it looking dirty or lazy. All my lineart lacks any description of form so it can't stand alone without any rendering.

>>4058466
I'm proud of you

>>4058868
I am an airhead I apologise
>>4058879
I think it’s just cause I have a trained hand from hatching so often, I believe in you anon!
>>4058909
...I... thanks dad

>>4058795
anon this is amazing! really love your style. do you have a Twitter?

>>4059039
Anon that means a lot ty! I’m more active on my Instagram, @beholdnika

>>4059030
>I am an airhead I apologise
I wasnt criticizing you, I was just stating a fact, posting on 4chan from your phone if you have an app and downloading it on your pc if you have the page open, is faster than searching for an usb cable, spinning it 3 times to get in the pc, spinning it 3 times to get in the phone, activate from your phone data transfer, search on your pc the pic the phone folders, drag and drop where you want to save it

drawpile ft. ham

GUYS
Can you give me any guides on inking, what should I be focusing on while doing it, what should I think about?
I feel completely lost.

>>4059068
You’re completely right, it’s just that in the moment I was rushing and the cable was out of sight (that rhymes :0) so I didn’t even consider it haha

>>4059077
That's really fucking good, blog?

>>4059084
wow, your art is what grimes would do if she could draw, nice

>>4059077
great work, the "I will beat you with 30 shoes" guy made me kek, should be a reaction image

>>4059151
This is good. But your boobs seem to be turned way more to the left than the torso if we judge by clavicle.

>>4059269
Omg look someone made the drawing into a real thing

>>4059286
Allah is great!

>>4059077
Ever drawn any tf2 stuff fisher?

Tryna draw more expressive characters now, I like goggles girl though her hands don’t make sense

Anything glaringly bad about this before i color?

>>4059416
loli body or head too big, whg she doesn't have musclesFrom her lower back to the bottom as defined as her upper body?

>>4059416

>>4059423
yikes, ruined

>>4059431
Redline it please.

>>4059416
tits shouldn't be that visible from that angle beg kun

>>4059432
here's your redline>>4059416

>>4059438
Head is out of proportion in relation to the figure, it's too small. Although the torso is slightly twisting the extreme twist from the neck makes it feel very uncomfortable unless you're an owl. Her jaw seems to be jutting out at an obtuse angle and her mouth does not help one bit with the fact that we're looking at a slight 3/4 angle yet it seems to conform to its very own perspective where we should view it closer to the outside.

>>4059423
wtf lmao

Your next reply would be post your work.

>>4059423
OH NO NO NO NO

got stuck on this page for some reason. its too slow going, I wish I have enough time. It would be great if I don't need to sleep.

>>4059423
Never redline again

here's an almost finished from yesterday too

>>4059474
big yikes, post the ref

>>4059479
no ref

>>4059480
back too loomis my friend

>>4059474
compared to most things I've seen on i/c lately this isn't that bad. Don't fall for the loomis meme anon and keep drawing.

>>4059480
I commend you for drawing from imagination, none of these faggots are able to do it without seeking references and even still they wouldn't be able to pull it off.

loomis is a bad advice now? holy shit this fucking board

>>4059506
No, it's just how you faggots use it as a catch all phrase when you disagree with something.

>>4059506
Begone, frogposter

>>4059341
blog?

>>4059673
:D @beholdnika on Instagram!

Drew my kid Zach again, but with him meeting someone who may or may not be the inspiration for him.

Kinda felt like I messed up Zach's pose and left hand a little. Also I can't draw cloth lol

quick little doodle

>>4059698
blog?

one more

>>4059766
I got a wix site: https://stephengoreanimati.wixsite.com/stephengoreart

Also side note: how do I draw more interesting hands/mouths?

>>4059784
pretty cool animation
John Kricfalusi inspired?

This is the first proper drawing I made using a semi-strong bottom perspective! :0 I'm sure it's riddled with anatomical flaws and perspective errors, but I had fun. I'll learn more with my next one

>>4059794
Her name's not Olivia, stop lying to yourself...

>>4059798
What's her name, anon?

>>4059794
Cute!
Two things though:
>Increase the size of your selection before fillbucketing in a background so you don't have a line of white dots around the lineart, due to anti aliasing.
>Some arm and hand studies would be really beneficial to you, as you seem to be guessing at a lot of the anatomy

>>4059799
Bolivia, obviously...

>>4059802
You’re right about me guessing the anatomy haha, I’ll do some hand studies later tonight. Thanks for the tip too, anon <3
>>4059803
That is superior, ur right

>>4059808
>>4059794
>>4059802
What program do you use because while that anons recommendation is good, i recommend working the lineart up on a different layer so you dont run into these kinds of issues.

>>4059861
I made this on medibang, though it’s not the program I usually use

>>4060117
Looks nice so far. Did you just turn off the sketch layer or do you freehand lineart or something?

I'm just a hobbyist that likes to draw realistic/semi-realistic styles. I'm not particularly skilled in drawing, yet, but how valuable is it to learn how to draw cartoonish styles? Will it help me in other areas?

Pic related, I dont draw much anime/cartoonish styles. Please roast.

>>4060201
Drawing in cartoon styles can be very helpful if you want to add more life and exaggeration to your realistic drawings, and help give you a better understanding of shape design. If you want "pure" realism it won't be very helpful in that regards.
If you want to understand cartooning, you should avoid just copying the styles of whatever cartoons are popular today and instead try to dissect how cartoons/anime function aesthetically and construction-wise.
What you're doing is symbol drawing, you're taking the "symbols" of cartoons and anime that you know and are placing them on the face without much regard for how a cartoon or anime face functions aesthetically or construction-wise, it's pic related but in reverse.
If you really do want to pursue stylized art, you should take a step back and start analyzing stylized art you enjoy in the same way you would analyze a realistic work. What are the shapes and forms at play? What is the effect of those shapes on the image? How does the artist distort reality? Copying artists and learning how their style works can be a very good exercise, especially for the stage you're in right now.

>>4060201
1st and last are great. I don't like the second one as much.
I wouldn't say learning any particular style is more valuable than any other. Draw in whatever style you like.

>>4060218
Clarification because I typed this in a rush and didn't think my words through, and made some confusing wordings
>you should avoid just copying the styles of whatever cartoons are popular today
>Copying artists and learning how their style works can be a very good exercise
This sounds contradictory but what I meant is you should avoid taking surface-level elements, like anime/cartoon eyes and noses and haphazardly dropping them onto face shapes. Instead you should try to study the stylistic choices that go into a style in the same way you would study something like a figure. An anime nose, for example, seems like just a line but it's actually representing a lot of visual information in a super-simplified form, like pic related shows. What you need to do is reverse-engineer those simplified features to figure out how they relate to the object they are depicting, instead of just drawing a tiny line for a nose and calling it a day.

>>4060218
>>4060228

Thanks. Your picture kind of tells me something I needed to hear again: draw what you see, not what you think. I think I do want to learn stylization, because I find pure realism unrewarding. I can spend 20 hours on a realistic drawing and it's basically a shitty pencil/charcoal rendered photograph, IMO. I want to get to a point where I can create anything I want from """scratch""" with some practice and I think from what you are describing, that will take me to really understand general shape design. Thanks.

>>4060225
Appreciate it. I like middle and right the least, because I dont feel like I got what I wanted in the short amount of time I drew them.

>>4060053
I was going for a squarer shape like the ref, though I appreciate the help

I feel like everyone here keep getting better while i stay stuck in the same place

>>4060259
Keep trying buddy. Effort is 10 times more important than success.

>>4060259
you are shit and you will remain shit unless you stop being a faggot and a brainlet

>>4060280
Post your work tough guy.

>>4060259
I understand how difficult that must feel if it helps i recc copying what you love alot like in photos or from actual life and put it in your work

if you can copy what you see you will improve and figure what works and makes sense for you over time i dont know what you struggle with ofcourse but i thought it wouldnt hurt helping in some way.

>>4060259
Ganbatte, anon.
In times like that I've found it can help to step away from your usual stuff and try something different. It can help you get some quick gains if you start learning something you had zero experience in, which can be a good mood booster, and it'll broaden your horizons and might inspire you to make better stuff when you return to your usual routine.

>>4060283
>y-you can't be right unless you post your wark!!

why are you niggers so delusional or contrarians if you are too stupid you obviously will make 0 gains or very little, but it's also a matter or not being a massive faggot who whines and blogpost just for attention so he can be arsed to draw under the illusion of "i just want motivation"

you don't wait for motivation to get out of your bed and go to work or whatever you do it because you have to, if you are complaining about why my art is so shit is either because you are just bad at learning; a retard or you just don't do what it takes because you are a bitch, now how the fuck does posting my work has to do with this i dont fucking know but keep sugarcoating these begs

>>4060259
lol what a faggot

>>4060295
Oh it's just you again. Polite sage.

>>4060295
Retard, on a board like this your crits don't mean shit if you can't back it up.
Pyw is the word to kill crabs, dumb newfag

>>4060269
recipe for suffering and literally not true.
If you're stagnating you need to work smarter not harder.

>>4060129
Oh yeah i just turned off the sketch layer.

More experimenting with coloring in ballpoint doodles

>>4060295
kek what a dumbass

>>4060259
where are you stuck anon?
try to be specific, don't just say "everything"

>>4058042
Are you that guy that did a bunch of lolibro studies?

>>4060067
thank you anon

>>4059151
Rly nice stuff. What brush are you using?

>>4058042
I like the lineart on these, anon.

>>4058770
Your color palettes are appealing, but I think you should work on your rendering. The way you shade does not describe forms very well, especially on the upper body. I think it would help to try and break down the body parts into simple forms, and lay out very basic shadows while considering the light source before you go into detailed rendering.

>>4058795
I like the hatching on the hair especially, nice work anon.

>>4057826
pay closer attentions to the volume of the trees and the space they occupy in perspective. where's the vanishing point and what would the point of intersection between those forms and the flat surface of the water look like?

>>4059947
reminds me of moat

>>4060295
I commend this guy for posting work. I mean he's not wrong
>you are shit and you will remain shit unless you stop being a faggot and a brainlet

but the other guys asking for pyw is not wrong either. There's fuck ton of crabs in this board just shitposting and begging for (you)s without backing it up with their work

>>4060444
>hatching on the hair

Thanks anon <3

Done

>>4060554
Boring background color :c

>>4060554
Looks great man.

I'm /beg/ as fuck so I can't give you much actual feedback but I think it would have looked nice if you added some of the red of the skull to her outfit. Maybe around the choker? Same with the blue of the spirit(?) and her eyes? Not a 1 for 1 the same colour but just a bit of a shift in that direction.

>>4060554
Nice stuff but I feel it would look a bit punchier if you cranked up the contrast, or even just make the backround black to let the character pop more, but it's still really solid work, well done.

>>4059794
It doesn't seems like she occupies a 3D space, you need more boxes

Gonna add more and trying to make it look like a illustration. Any feedback?

>>4060444
I appreciate the advice anon, thanks!

>>4060336
Working hard doesnt mean working stupid

>>4060640
well it sure as hell doesn't mean working smart - which is the only thing that will get him out of his mess

>>4059908
How can i get this good

>>4059787
Late response but yeah, among other inspirations obviously.

I feel like I need to work on my form, anatomy, and learn how to draw more interesting mouths and hands

I normally don't do fullbodies digitally :0 Gonna do some hatching on this one too

>>4060815
Nice

>>4060250
I really like your lines. Do you have a blog?

>>4060815
Cute
Does it have a dick?

>>4060843
Nice

I’m learning to draw in the old 30s Fleischer style but I feel like I’m missing something or doing it wrong.

>>4060493
the thing is the whole pyw has become a straw man to spread this cancer mindset to invalidate anyone who doesn't agree with you or you don't like,and if you want any kind of help you have to be at least smart enough to differentiate between "lmao back2 loomis,kys,disgusting" and "your lack of fundamentals and bad understanding of the matter makes your art look like a piece of shit".

and the later is where people just want to push this meme, because you weren't another of their circlejerk of buttbuddies who praised this guy regardless of how bad it was, now im not defending people calling you shit unless they say why, and here's the truth if you did something wrong and someone points that out it doesn't matter whether the person is mean or kind that won't change the facts, but no you gotta disregard every kind of criticism that doesn't follow your hugbox hivemind as "unless you are this good you can't say anything" just to hide the facts.

Will work on the details and purple/blue accents when I return, followed by the shadows/midtones.

>>4060924
you still need to draw decent hands and maybe put some white outline on his body so the viewers know what he's doing

>>4060944
left hand needs work fingers look like spaghetti and the sleeves look awkward

>>4061211
Here you have 2 options:

1- Be gay

2- Be gay and racist

cleaned up a bit, need to start doing feet studies

Two heads are better than one is often true for some.

Blocked in the skin tones and added the accents.

>>4061625
its fine just very generic

Can I get some help with the right arm/hand and revolver? I'm having the worst time with the angle and foreshortening. I don't need a redline because I'd like to try and draw it on my own, but even just blocking in where everything should be would help, or any sort of reference or suggestion.

In all seriousness, from what I can see, I really can't tell what her pose is doing.

did she attack someone with her sword or is she just posing like a badass or getting ready to engage?

>>4061700
dubs don't lie

>>4061686
Like what >>4061727 said, this pose doesn't read very well. Perhaps try something different? Or try constructing this one again.

>>4060377
I want to draw cute chibis but coming up with a unique appealing super deformed style is surprisingly very difficult. Trying to copy Mogeko's style is fun, though.

>>4061794
Its cute, anon. The only issue I see is how his hand is holding that milk,desu

>>4059794
pretty, I like it anon

Doodled a android concept.

putting down some flats before shading
(i dont know japanese so its likely incorrect)
>>4061873
I really like this, good job anon

>>4061821
:D thank you, anon!

>>4061702
Don't care, gonna keep posting till i'm gud

>>4060377
I think it's a definitive improvement over the concepts you posted on the character thread a few months ago.

Have you done more of the others?

>>4061794
drawing good chibis is pretty hard desu
reminds me of bestboy

>>4060377
I think you want to draw him like a feminine anime boy judging by the pose, but you don't push the proportions accordingly. Make the nose much smaller and push him towards anime cute. In the end you're looking to draw him like a small child and children don't have huge noses. Or you want to go towards bishie, which has different proportions. Right now you're in a bit of a limbo, I think this is your problem.
See, this is more appealing because he has no nose >>4061794

>>4059457

I was drawing this and I thought everything was peachy until I was bitten by an ant.

Progress.

>>4061873
Finally, some good fuckin food

>>4062272
Why do you come here if you're just gonna ignore all advise lol.

>>4062479
heres the only place where he can get any kind of attention

>>4062030
FLCL, good shit

>>4061873
pls no dick

>>4060554
have you tried messing with the saturation?
Actually, never mind. It's fine as it is.

will maybe mess with her right hand while cleaning up, pose seems a little off

>>4061873
Fuck that looks awesome. Blog?

>>4061932
His legs don't look like they work in that pose. Good design tho, anon.

>>4061960
Nice job, looking forward to your final work

>>4062515
that ass bit shouldnt be seen with that leg twist

>>4062513
this looks so much better lol

Shes looking at (You)

>>4061794
very cute anon. i like the colours

I drew all day today and my hand hurts

I am very sorry as I swore to myself to not post on any other drawthreads until I graduated from /beg/ but I just want some thoughts and critique on >>4062391 desu

>>4062479
Already got red lines over Discord for when I get back. Thanks.

>>4062665
>I swore to myself to not post on any other drawthreads until I graduated from /beg/
This is so stupid, just post on a drawthread who the fuck cares a critique is a critique regardless of where you post.

>>4062668
Nice rendering and attention to detail, it would be a darn shame if someone were to flip it horizontally.

>>4062675
It's a little way to motivate me teehee

>>4062680
And?

>>4062701
Your drawing is skewed and riddled with tangents, my friend.

>>4062668
you really need to spend more time getting the drawing right before you jump into lineart & rendering
>>4062596
binary brush is so pleasing to look at

>>4062706
>>4062705

Vague, with no explanatory power. Thanks anyways.

>>4062712
You're quite welcome you passive aggressive cunt.

>>4062680
shieeet the skirt or shorts lightning is fucked up and is messing with the perspective of the legs

>>4062712
not those anons, but I think you are completely blind to stuff like pic related
I know it doesn't explain much, but you can clearly see one of these looks better than the other
personally I'm not good at all, but I think you should think about other stuff while drawing
You are focusing 2 much on details and linework and rendering etc, but your drawing doesn't look good on a fundamental level, basically you are polishing turds
Like, I think you should step back and look at some artists you like, and study them, like ask yourself why does their shit look good?
You are polishing turds, I know it sounds bad, but if you stop trying to improve and find out new knowledge you have failed
The fundamentals are what hold something together and what make something interesting. Your shapes, your sense of form, your composition and perspective and your values.
If these things are good, you can literally just render something for 10 minutes and it will still look good.

>>4062576
Danke

>>4062034
Thanks, anon. I've been working on polishing up the designs so that makes me glad to hear it.
I haven't done much of the other characters, most of it is just doodles and sketches so I can get more comfortable with their designs and tweak them as I go. Pic related is the only character I've given any major design overhaul to so far, really. I'm still not settled with it, though.

>>4062210
Thanks for the advice and crit, anon. Honestly I really don't want him to look too feminine, I more of wanted a "princely" sort of look, young and pretty, but still a bit masculine if that makes sense. I think I may have made his body too young-looking for what I intended, and I kinda want to keep the big nose because I feel it makes his face a bit more distinctive.

>>4062799
forgot pic

>>4062668
I don't think your stuff is bad, you clearly have a fair bit of knowledge in anatomy and construction. I feel what the other anons are getting at is that you art lacks appeal, and I don't mean that in a "muh style" sort of way. I think you have a poor sense of shape and composition, which brings your works down significantly.
Take the girl's twintails, for instance. The ends of them go in so many different directions it weakens the composition by leading the viewers eyes in no clear direction.
I did a quick paint over to try and better show what I mean, I am not the best myself so apologies.

>>4062855
This helped a great deal. Thank you very much for taking the time to draft this up for me.

>>4062712
>foreshortening on the left leg & arm are fucked
>back foot is shaped wrong
>inconsistent finger size between hands; more than would be caused by being further back in perspective
>also that wrist lmao
>attachment of legs to the pelvic joint is questionable

beyond all of that, there's seemingly no hierarchy of detail unless you really were intent on drawing the eye straight to her armpit. not to mention all the tangents around the edge of the page

>>4057791
Thank you i appreciate you enjoyin my stuff!

i do post in the sketchbook threads but not too often

Not my design- Ahh I'm finally finished with this, I've shamelessly committed so many art sins along the way though. Please scold me, anons

>>4063192
Face is skewed slightly, she has a thousand yard stare and it seems like her eyes are focusing on her nose. While in the construction stage, flip the canvas multiple times until it becomes second nature - for every form you put flip the canvas once or three different times until you get rid of whatever skew that is present.

Using construction helps avoid going out of proportion and studying what we perceive as cute will help you understand how to bring about a pleasant face. It's all in the proportions.

Consider changing the drawing from a white background to a more calming and darker background that would either compliment or bring about the colors from the figure more.

>>4063206
not him but how do you fix this issue if it's on paper and I can't flip/mirror the canvas

>>4063217
Hold your drawing up in front of a mirror lol
That's why they call it mirroring the canvas

>>4063206
Thank you for this, anon <3 Construction is definitely something I still need to study, as soon as I'm done with my commissions I'll resume studying.

>>4062800
>'ve been working on polishing up the designs so that makes me glad to hear it.

Well I'm glad. I know you were a bit concerned about changing them too much whenever it was brought up in that thread.

I have to be honest that I have a vested interest in your journey with this. I have several characters in a state of flux (while I get out of /beg/). So it's interesting to see how characters and style evolve when introduced to others and whether or not I'll prefer them before or after.

Also cute boys that look like cuteboys look better than boys that look like girls. In my semi-humble opinion anyway.

sketches that i did today! for some reason today i felt more energetic, ended up drawing the whole day haha!!

>>4063244
Very cute anon! I like your use of color and your style a lot.
I feel like on some of these you have some issues with construction, and you could push your shapes further. Might I recommend studying Yoh Yoshinari's sketches? I feel the way he draws bodies is similar to your style, and you could get something out of studying his work.

>>4063244
GOOD SHIT anon keep it up

>>4063192
>>4063222
not the guy who replied to you first, but your constructions is really beg, please use a ref because this is lietrally polishing a turd theres docens of mistakes but here are the bigges like how did you even missed? what im trying to say is loomis

>>4063292
*literally*

>>4063292
not him, but I think you're overreacting. The drawing itself self is appealing if it weren't for the face particularly the eyes being skewed. Certainly markedly better than tumbler garbage like this>>4062800

>>4063192
Just work on your eyes, take a look at her left eye, and try to get her right eye to allign properly with it. Symmetry is always hard, but nothing a little practicing can't fix.

>>4063192
Honestly it's pretty good man, as another anon said the eyes are the biggest problem, there's also something weird about the legs but it doesn't show at first glance. But overall i'd say you've done a good job at rendering

>>4063292
>YIKES!
>wtf?
>wtf???
>wtf
>holy shit

>absolute beginner-tier redline with only the most obvious flaws pointed out

look mom, i'm participating! im a d/ic/k!!! haha us 4channers right

>>4063306
im not overreacting, but there's a huge difference between appealing and doing something correctly, i don't care if it's anime or tumblr but if anon is going to draw a body at the very least try to keep the proportions, saying that is appealing has nothing to do with it, thats subjective but hey a lot of people said that pic related is appealing too, and >>4062800
is the worst example that shows how biased and simple minded you are, that guy draws better than 70% of /ic/ good anatomy the drawing of the clothes are simple but enough to convey the shapes his face is actually proportionally for his style good understanding of shading my only cherrypick would be that collarbone but he's miles better than >>4063244 then again im criticizing his construction not if his shit is appealing or not thats subjective

>>4063315
yeah maybe that's why i say here are the biggest and not all but it's okay anon show us how is done

Did a sketch of a character of mine. His nose seems a bit big/long but then again, I've been somewhat inconsistent with his design in past projects I've done with him

>>4063334
Damnit /ic/, stop posting that cursed image, it give me nightmare

>>4063334
Why does the right side of her pelvis stick out so much it looks like an erect cock

>>4063334
I actually forget if the person who made this, made it with serious intent or if this was all supposed to be a meme. The rendered hair, shadows and everything make me fear the latter..

>>4063365
/beg/

>>4063393
i thought the same but if you look he not only cleaned everything but he rendered every fucking hair the lightning ,shadows the texture on the water, no way this was a troll

>>4057780

sup

>>4057644

yes

experimenting with some new rendering techniques
>>4062525
thank you, anon

>>4063406
Not to complain, but what's /beg/ about it? I always have room to improve so I'd love to hear some critique.

>>4059746
>>4059767
these are neat

>>4063486
Not that anon, but the biggest flaws I feel it has are
>1. Your lineart is scratchy and not confident
>2. Your shapes are messy and not confident
It's harder to criticize this than most of the works on /alt/ because you use a much more simplified and cartoonish style than most people here, but I feel your core issues are that you don't seem to have confidence in what you're doing. You have a simple, graphic style, but you don't push your shapes. You play it very safe with a simple half-circle and line for a hat. The face is long, but it's shape is ambiguous.
I think you should look into some shape-based character designs and try to examine how they work. Shape language would be a very useful thing for you to look into, as well as shape design. Examine how your favorite cartoonists use shapes to build their characters and incorporate it into your own work.

>>4063502
That's a fair thing to say anon, thanks! For the record, it was a sketch to begin with so I never intended for the lines to be perfect. Although for a sketch I do think a lot of it is a bit "lazy" I suppose.

Also, legit question here, but does it count as "not confident" if I never felt "unconfident" while drawing? I don't want to sound like I'm ignoring your advice, but I never really felt like that when I drew it, although to be fair, I pretty much originally planned on just doing his face as opposed to doing a full on bust. Like you said, I definitely could push the shapes, absolutely. Although I feel it's more as if I don't fully know how to do so, rather than that I wasn't confident, because I was confident in my shapes (even if they weren't all that great like my lines, even if it's a sketch). I suppose it's similar to how a tween aspiring to become an artist is confident in their crappy ms paint drawings despite them being crappy ms paint drawings, not to belittle my own work of course lol.

>>4063512
Not him but confidence is derived from having the knowledge of things like shape language. When referring to confidence, its less actual confidence and more of a "it looks like he knows what hes doing." Your lines show hesitation, they are short and scratchy.

Bladerunner sketch I did for a friend.

>>4063581
Not bad, tho the pose is rather stiff and boring. Also, his chin could serve to be a little longer

>>4063587
Thanks for the crit dude. Yeah it was tough getting a good resemblance for the face. Any tips on what I could do to make the pose less stiff?

>>4063637
unironically gesture drawings

>>4063652
>unironically

??????

>>4063654
because it's easy to just throw out "gesture" or "lolfundies" or "looooomis" as a casual throwaway response to everything but actually gesture drawings, getting to know the angle/curve of the spine and placing balanced posture over stance of the legs is going to help fix stiff poses

>>4063637
changing the angle could help a bit too, a straight on camera shot isn't very interesting

guys? has drawing cubes saved my life?

>>4063724
Color it and see how tough you are

>>4063742
>"My NIPPLES LOOK LIKE MILK DUDS!"

>>4060377
This looks like a concept from a visual novel I'd want to play. Nice work!

If there's any advice I'd give, I'd say your clothing/posing is great, but your face construction could use a little more work. I can't help but notice the furthest eyes don't have that perspective that really sells it, y'know? Nothing groundbreaking, but I think focusing on that will greatly improve your work.

>>4063742
Gimme a month, I'll do it tho

>>4063292
I really appreciate this, anon. I kept feeling mistakes with this the whole time I was rendering but I couldn’t actually visualise anything specific that was off. Thanks for clearing it up, I’ll use a reference next time.
>>4063306
>>4063310
Thank you for being kind <3 I think my faces always turn out skewed cause I set somewhat low standards, finish rendering them quickly, then never go back to them to finalise everything. The legs are frustrating too, cause I know that irl they can look weird when someone is sat down on the floor so I can’t tell if they’re accurately looking weird or if they’re just wrong altogether.

I appreciate the feedback

>>4063724
arm, shoulder looks detached from the rest of the body

>>4063693
thank you for this, (different anon). I tend to do a lot of straight on poses and honestly thinking about it, yeah angled makes things way more interesting I should do more.

>>4061395
I really like your stuff anon but i think your drawings could really benefit from a bit more concrete anatomy in hand and leg areas, that would really elevate them to the next level

>>4061873
Finished up a clean up sketch. I know that her left ankle is being pushed to it's limit, but in all fairness, she's a cyborg. Either way, it'll probably get fixed in another cleanup.

>>4061960
>>4062275
thanks anons, really means a lot.

>>4062507
I meant to draw a crotch guard. Looking at it more, it almost does look like one, lol.

>>4062525
thanks anon. Twitter: @art_mellon

que...

>>4063247
Thank you!! I honestly have no idea where to get yoh resources. I got my hands on one it was all environments and stuff i cant even remember how i got it.. But i will try to look for it again! Is there any recommendation of yoh works if he has any series of works?
>>4063253
Thank you!! i will try my besT!!
>>4063334
I agree my construction isnt that great i will also add that there's more to construction and appeal i think perspective also plays a good role in making a picture more interesting!

>>4064345
This hatching style and dull coloring is very cozy and nostalgic.

>>4064372
i might have overdone on the dull coloring now that i look at it. Thanks for the comment anon

>>4064382
Lol I did not mean "dull" as a bad thing. I think the desaturated color palette adds to the mood

>>4064145
do you use references while drawing or is this from memory?

>>4064145
He has three books:
>Dead Wood
>Rough Sketches
>Rough Sketches Tezuka
I found them in various art book threads in the archive, if you look up those terms you should be able to find them!

>>4063192

>>4064407
You made it look even worse.

>>4064407
You made her smile thats so cute

Thank you anon

>>4064407
you added a smile and changed nothing else kek

>>4064384
Nope I rarely use references its all from memory!! If I use reference its just a study not to be part of an illustration
>>4064390
Thank you anon!!

>>4064413
>>4064417
>>4064422
I used liquify for like 1 and a half minute

>>4063776
Thanks anon. Yeah, I had some issues when drawing the face that I couldn't figure out how to work through. I'll try to do some more facial construction studies soon, I appreciate the advice

>>4063230
Haha, I'm flattered that you're interested. I don't plan too change them too drastically.
>Also cute boys that look like cuteboys look better than boys that look like girls
I see you're also a man of taste

Might as well drop this here since the thread's about to die. Trying to do an illustration with more focus on graphic appeal and interesting shape design, any blatant issues?

>>4063306

skill wise the tumblr "garbage" is better

>>4063292
your redline is awful
holy shit and yikes are not helpful at all

>>4064513
Not that guy, but he's still right.

>>4064345
>>4064345
It was a compliment, I think lol. I like it as well.

New thread time, can a Good Samaritan make one

>>4064529
Do it faggot.

>>4064529
Gimme a few minutes to put together an OP.
Any preferences for the art?

Go faggots >>4064537

>>4064383
>>4064522
yeah i know, i just felt that i overdid a bit on the whole desaturation thing now that i looked at it here
I'm glad you liked it guys, it really motivates me when people on /ic/ like my stuff.

>>4057592

that's some beginner tier sameshilling anon
