Can't figure out how to colour so fuck it
Not too happy with this, maybe next time

Slowly, slowly working through this

tried a new pose and colouring style, really liking the turnout. i know the torso is a little misshapen but any critique is welcome

>>4083952
Anon this is really cute

>>4083950
i saw you last thread while lurking, this is turning out good anon! nice work

>>4083952
kawaii af desu

>>4083950
Can't see shit

>>4083950
I forgot to resize again i'm so sorry
>>4083960
That's really good to hear anon, thank you :]

>>4083965
I edited it on my phone, this should be better?

>>4083971
Its a little too bright, but I do like the higher contrast.

>>4083971
Much better

Just some character stuff.

>>4083979
Ah I see, thank you anon!

>>4083983
big fan of these clean lines and folds! very nice

>>4083983
At some points she looks kinda stiff but good job on the pose in the top right

>>4083983
Blog?

>>4083952
cute, saved. but one of the boobies are superduper off.

>>4083947
It’s got potential desu, are you planning on rendering it?

>>4083817
I'm wondering if i should use more lines in the BG make it more clear

>>4083952
bouta bust a nut to this

"Frigate Orpheon do you copy? FRIGATE ORPHEON DO YOU COPY!?"

>>4083952
Work on your hands, and anatomy in general. Also this >>4084178, plus those purple blobs between her boobs look bad.

>>4083817
i colored it, i think her head/face might stick out too far from her neck

>>4083952
cute
here are some studies

Definitely need some refs, especially for the legs/hips
Got a decent feeling about this one though
>>4084194
Not really feeling that one, kinda lost the original intent figuring out the scales.
I'll redo the character in the future

>>4084200
If you're not planning on doing it, may I suggest increasing the contrast and colour saturation on the characters?

jojo lookin outfits/miscellaneous practice

Thoughts on each character and how to improve their silhouettes?

I've been trying out a cheap style for quick dumb lil comics like this

something feels off but I've been staring at this too long, not sure where to post this since it's not really animation.

>>4084654
He kind of starts looking down

>>4084619
these are great, this is the only one I felt could work better

>>4084638
>haha le original joke!11!! transshitters should sudoku!!!11

this is shit. get better ideas.

spine machine broke

Any tips? Been grinding books for a long time (embarassed to even mention how long) and I tried to come back to drawing from imagination. It's been kind of tough and not as good as I expected. Any tips?

>>4084686
oh no, someone has a politic that you don't like, guess it must be because they're ... unoriginal.

>>4084686
found the baby boy

>>4084706
Try to apply the things you learned from the books to your imaginative works. When something looks off, just return to the text to figure out how to fix it. The most important thing is to be analytical about what you are doing right and wrong.
The drawing you posted would really benefit from stronger construction, especially in the torso.

>>4084687

>>4084761
What's the smart way of practicing construction. I mean I did the books but I'm wondering. Should I rather try to make up poses and maybe post them here if I have problems. Or should I try to make some construction work based on photos of people in different poses? I feel like the former might ingrain bad habits while I don't know if the later will really teach me anything. Especially since doing exercises was just that and I don't really know how much it helped me.

>>4084822
>What's the smart way of practicing construction
Try to invent your own poses from imagination and use your knowlege of the human body to build them yourself. Trying to re-construct figures from photos and life is also good practice, but constructing from imagination is the best way to integrate that knowledge into your mind in my experience

Was gonna go ahead and render this and add a background but I stopped myself when I realized I should make illustrations of stuff other than this frog. I need to design some more frogs sometimes...

>>4084852
Also been trying to figure out some sort of design for a Naga dragon

>>4084852
I love this character! are you gonna design him a friend? :)

I wanted to draw a shopkeeper girl in a fantasy steampunk setting selling cool nick nacks and gadgets. When I started drawing I was expecting that this idea was a painfully generic concept but after googling the keywords I didn't see that much art of it? I'm sure there's art hidden somewhere on Pixiv

>>4084852
I like your work! I'm curious, do you do much life drawing or mostly from pictures/reference?

>>4084870
fantasy steampunk is oversaturated and generic, though usually the illustrations aren't exactly shop settings. However, you shouldn't give a fuck about any of that and draw whatever you want because that's what actually matters

>>4084880
I... th-thank you anon. I'm entering this genre with the intention to try to make it into something special because I genuinely believe it has a lot of potential, it's also something that's always fascinated me ever since I was a kid. Like when you're faced with an intriguing illustration of an environment and you feel nostalgia for a place you've never been before, I want to try to draw this feeling.

>>4084870
Fantasy steampunk isn't really a thing, yes. It's just called like magicpunk at that point. Or it's steam punk, but in a fantasy setting. Love your work so far. Got a blog?

>>4084888
My blog's @beholdnika on instagram! thank you anon. Ah I haven't heard of magicpunk before! I think it's what I've been searching for the whole time, thanks for telling me

>>4084870
wow best thing ive seen in this thread so far good work.

>>4084895
Seriously? I don’t compare to most of the artists in this thread :0 if you’re not baiting, thank you anon <3

>>4084870
>>4084890
you've been improving a lot anon :)

>>4084948
nah much better than some of the flat faced tumbler trash I've seen quite recently.

>>4084949
Anon this means so much to me :’) thank you

>>4084953
Desntist-kun, is that you?

>>4084619
These are without ref? Use ref, you'll get more natural poses.

>>4084448
Tried constructing the leg more and some foreshortening. Feels a bit idk, chunky?

>>4085030
Cute! CUTE!!!

>>4085030
Why are government officials outside my house

This is cute tho anon

>>4085030
blog?

>>4085030
this is nice. Always familiar with your very cartoony simplified style. It's nice to see a more "anime" approach to your drawing

>>4085034
Found the tourist with a milquetoast brand of humor.

Iltax hunters augment their frail bodies with robotics which allows them to participate in even the deadliest hunts.

Redesign worked out.

>>4084686
that's explicitly a pro-trans comic making fun of people who are worried about getting "trapped" by trans women when trans women have so much more to worry about just existing and the author is probably also trans. instead of glancing at a comic and immediately assuming something that hurts your delicate sensibilities how about you use critical thinking skills, or better yet, how about you go dilate

>>4084822
Also try first drawing a skeleton and then draw meat on top of it.

Started reworking this guy today based on anon's advice. Gonna do the fur too after the shading's done proper.

I think it's looking much better so far, wish my blood sugar wasn't fucked so I could concentrate longer tho. Ah well I'm getting tired anyway.

>>4084852
frog-kun!

>>4084852
Do you mind if I draw porn of him?

I sort of fused my usual approach with the Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt aesthetic in an attempt to establish a secondary art style.

>>4085124
nice work, anon

>>4085068
Your stuff really seems to be coming along man.

Not sure what it is but it seems like your becoming more comfortable with your medium maybe. Have you noticed much of a difference in your work?

>>4084870
>fantasy steampunk
Have you looked in the Dremer from the 'The Elder Scrolls' series? Their architecture and technology has a very steampunkish flavour. It's a fantasy setting so they don't have the Victorian overtones that are normally associated with the genre.

>>4084854
Thanks, anon. I have some designs for other members of his frog tribe floating around but they're all very unfinished. Not quite sure what direction to take with the anatomy, since I've already made the first frog so humanoid.

>>4084878
I do life drawing of animals, but I only study humans from photos. I really need to get on to going to some real figure drawing sessions though, it's been on my to-do list.

>>4085266
Sure, anon, I'd be flattered. I only ask you do nothing too degenerate.

>>4084601
Jojo manages to pull off it's look, these guys look like sexual deviants at a pride festival.

>>4085036
How new are you

>>4084484
not a bad suggestion :o

>>4085068 I think i like your robots better, seems more relatable then these

>>4085347
>life drawings of animals
that's way harder than figure drawing lol

>>4085310

I haven’t looked into it yet anon :0 I’ll check it out now though, thank you for telling me, I appreciate it!

>>4085561
I've never seen this artist either

>>4085611
idk the models i've worked with usually don't break the pose every few minutes to lick their balls

>>4085050
Thanks, I want to find a good middle ground eventually

>>4085271
Work on your proportions. Hips and legs are way too small, even for cartoony people. This kind of stylization just doesn't look that good imo.

>>4085011
I really like this overall, especially her proportions. Just about the foreshortened thigh, yeah the thigh looks flattened, like its resting on a seat or something. It should be rounder on the outside.

>>4084890
Riot Games explored a similar idea with Hextech and ChemTech in League Of Legends. Look up Piltover and Zaun concept art.

>>4085754
I really appreciate the recommendations anon, thank you. I’ll be sure to check them out

>>4085068
cool stuff man
>>4085030
cute!

Any tips on how to make my stuff better?

>>4085783
Try colouring the lineart with a clipping layer or merge the lineart into the colouring and blend it in a bit.

heya i'm trying an amazoness build but the head might be a tad too small

>>4085868
This looks nice so far, the torso/waist area is looking a bit flat to me, though

>>4085868
nice to see your stuff again!

>>4085879
is it because of the bit of skin on the waist?
>>4085965
thanks friendo!

I finished lining her and completely messed up the perspective on her tip jar, I'm really unfamiliar with perspective so I'll read some books/watch some videos before going into the background properly

>>4086075
Bruh that's not how clothes fold. Study more clothing. These are looser but you get the idea.

>>4086088
That's fair, I went overboard. Ill redo the folds before moving on, thanks anon

>>4086075
I honestly hate the expression on her face.

>>4086096
Sorry to hear that, anything I can do to fix?

>>4085750
In terms of length or thickness? Cuz I made the legs 25% longer than everything else.

>>4086091
i'm /beg/ but it's not about the amount of folds ('going overboard'), it's about flow ; your folds are quite uniform in size and shape, and also quite systematic in where they're located.
just my eye. i also like the piece, anon.

>>4086226
Thanks for the feedback anon, that actually really helped.

>>4085590
Eh, only because the animals move around all the time. To me the forms and shapes often feel more evident because I have less pre-existing knowledge of animal anatomy and I thing it helps with practicing gesture and form. The main reason I do it is because I would rather spend money on going to the zoo than spending money on life drawing classes in all honesty

>>4084654
looks great but as anon said, he starts looking down as we are seeing his back, i'd advise putting some guideline to where the eyes, nose, mouth and top of the head etc should be on a layer above the animation. Maybe for next time though, as this already still looks very good and finished.

>>4085233
Update, comin' along quite well.

recent portrait commission

>>4086445
Interesting style, I like it. I feel like you could place the hatching more deliberately, the hatching on the face seems very unnecessary and adds a rough texture, while the loose hatching on the hair doesn't quite mesh with the rest of the style geometric style. You could probably find interesting ways to break up the hatching into interesting shapes, like you do with the places of the face.
Also out of curiosity, how heavily was this referenced?

>>4086451
it was almost directly 1:1 with the original photo's pose and lighting. i totally agree with the hatching, i was actually struggling to make it look cohesive throughout but couldnt settle on a single way to do it

drew a girl again

>>4086613
Nice anon!

>>4086646
:)

>>4086624
Thank you.

Thoughts on how to improve it before I begin inbetweening the roughs?
>>4086613

>>4086429
Place your shapes before rendering. it'll improve your values and blending.

>>4084601
If jojo is what you're going for it's that JoJo works because the design focuses on high fashion causing "eccentricity" to overlap "promiscuity" They're more weird/cool than hot.
That's just a closeted trust fund baby and some cheap ass lingerie.

>>4085011
That other anon got you on the leg part, your construction is looking goo so far as long as that wrist doesn't remain broken.
Hope your update us on this.

>>4086075
Empty emotion, she's smiling but her cheeks hasn't risen to her eyes and her eyebrows gives no story for her joy.
Your work get's your point across well but it's not very organic.

>Pic
Using Mr.L to practice rendering shapes and lighting.

>>4086700
Hi I'm >>4086752
I suggest you flow he hair movement with her rising head turn but not too aggressively.

On the hand gesture giving her shoulders a quick upwards bounce before she spreads them apart would add more personality to the action, the current version would feel less forced if her hands were touching before she spread them.

Less intentionally kawaii more high energy and quirky.

>>4086445
Fixed it for you. Please don't lighten darker skinned characters! Thank you!

Excellent taste, anon.
Hands looking a little janky, though, his fingers are not curling even though his hands are in fists

>>4086957
I'm not an animator so I could be completely off, but I think something about the timing is off. I think you should hold on some of these poses for longer to make them feel impactful, right now the animation seems a bit floaty, if that makes sense

gesture is really kicking my ass right now. how helpful is gesture drawing to your visual library? how long should it take before you start seeing any results?

>>4086970
Thank you for your critique. I will add a few more cells and see where it goes.

>>4086983
I struggle a lot with gesture too. It's one of the things I got the most crit, but now I occasionally get people commenting that my poses are really fluid so I feel like I've made some improvement. I feel when it comes to improvement, it's less an issue of how much time you take and more of how much thought you put into it.
If you feel like doing gesture studies isn't helping you, you may just be doing sketches without putting thought into how they work, you're just going through the motions. It helped me a lot to focus on how the rhythms of the body worked and flowed through the body, and to really think about how to draw the contours in a rhythmic way. It also helps a lot to spend some time drawing poses from imagination after practicing gestures to help solidify the knowledge in your mind, from my experience.

Damn, I like these.

Drawing curly hair is tedious work

>>4087323
Are you >>4081469 the same guy? Anyways here's my critique.
Overall, there's not much time to read her action. It's a bit of a timing issue. She's looking down at frame 1, then she looks ahead, then only her right eye moves (!), then she looks to her left, then down again, and then she looks at the camera. That's way too much for just a few frames. Two things you can do: more frames, or fewer actions. Personally I would do this: she starts by looking somewhere, looks at the camera, then looks again somewhere for a few frames and then camera again.

Also, consider using more frames at the start of your animation to give the time to read the character, I'm talking about like 10-12 frames, nothing much. The same applies to the end.

Imho hair needs more physics, she goes up and hair have to follow, and then you need hair to fall down a bit.

Another thing, her blushing lasts for three frames, and that's really fast, maybe it can last more. Up to you!

Keep going!

does this style work?

>>4083950
That light rendering is really cool

>>4087441
No. Stop chicken scratching and be more confident with your lines

Really need to get back on digital.

>>4087472
>>4087476
I love these lines

>>4087441
I feel like if you keep going in this direction but improve your skill it might end up looking good. Disagree with the pasty colours though

>>4087442
Thanks anon :] I’m struggling with having it look natural so I’m glad you think it looks good

Got the fur redone, also tweaked the BG a little bit

>>4087472
everything is really cool imo except the face or maybe just the eyes? like if the eyes don't fit the style you were going for?
still really good anon, just my 0.02

Yeehaw chucklefucks.

I can’t tell if I’m having more trouble with the pose or the angle on the right. I’ve also worked out a ton of my construction phase and basically just to a sphere for the head and a line of action. Dunno how good the results will ultimately be.

Have only been drawing a couple months but i try to practice every day.

Thank you so much anon! It came out adorably! I love your style, too.
I feel tempted to draw lewd of my own now.

I want to design more frogs, but I don't feel 100% on them so far. Might go back to working on other animal character designs, they're very relaxing to do.

>>4088577
Just so you know, red boards don’t do text spoilers apparently. Makes no sense, but whatever.
Back on subject though, what about the frogs are you not sure. As an aside, froggirl is qt.

>>4088590
Yeah, the text spoiler tags were just a joke.
I'm not sure what I'm unsure about either, in all honesty. There's just an "oomf" I feel is lacking, I'd appreciate crit on the designs while I bounce them around and tweak them.

I think this one doesn't look quite frog-like enough. I'm not sure if it's the pose or the colors, but there's something missing about her. The other two look good, though. Really simple and cohesive.

I love your lineart and these poses. These drawings have a lot of personality and charm. I want to touch crab man's muscles.

>>4088577
Needs more contrast on her pupils. Black colored pupils dont read well on dark red schlera. Maybe add an iris around it or put a shine on top

>>4088620
Not sure if It’ll help, but looking at frog gorl, I get kinda of Zelda Medli vibe from her. And maybe it’s just my dick speaking, but her chest looks like it could be moved up a little. Have you tried different looks for the shading? What if you tried that kind of look where highlights are just stark white on the hair?

>>4088629
>>4088620
Not sure if I explained it properly, so try this for an example.

>>4088623
Hm yeah, looking over some of my original sketches I used to have her with a more frog like snout. I might be going too humanoid with the proportions and shapes.

>>4088626
Duly noted, I'll change that anon. Thanks.

>>4088629
>>4088636
Hm, maybe. Seems like an interesting shading style to experiment with, I'll try to try it sometime soon.

>>4088505
Man I really love this. Are you the same person who did that robot girl in the OP a few thread ago?

>>4088622
I like the lineart, I think you might want to spend more time going over folds and form though. I feel trying to look at some cube-based construction would be very helpful to you, since you seem to be going for a rather blocky style and because I feel you have some issues with forms and how they work in perspective.

>>4088623

I cannot think or comprehend of anything more fulfilling than having a daughter. Honestly, think about it rationally. You are feeding, clothing, raising and rearing a girl for at least 18 years so that the world might experience a radiant bundle of happiness and love. All the hard work you put into your beautiful little girl - reading her stories at bedtime, making her go to sports practice, making sure she had a healthy diet, educating her, playing with her. All of it amplifies the joy everyone she meets shall experience when she greets them and takes precious time from her day to make theirs a little better.

Raised the perfect girl? Great. Who benefits? Everyone. Strangers on the street get a friendly bystander that will wish them well, the homeless will get a wealthy and intelligent girl that runs shelters to feed them and find them honest work to get off the streets. The lucky man who marries her will get the perfect partner, and you'll benefit from gaining a second child in her spouse, one who will be a dear friend that thanks their lucky stars you raised such an astounding woman.

As a man who has a daughter, you are LITERALLY dedicating at least 20 years of your life simply to grant your wondrous, miraculous daughter and all the people around her a better life. It is the ULTIMATE AND FINAL reward. Think about it logically

Fucking retard hahahahaha

>>4088708
stay mad /beg.

>>4088705
man, why do you come to /alt/ if western stuff upsets you. you have /asg/ if you only want to see anime

>>4088716
Hey, I'm just giving my honest opinion is all. You do you man, I'm sure there is a market out there somewhere for your art.

>>4088714
Retard crab, that's not his drawing

>>4088718
Did I say it was? He's clearly upset because I may have insulted him in some way. Anyhow, it's not nice to call someone retarded anon. You may suck at art right now, but keep trying and maybe one day you will get there.

>>4088721
>>4088705
post your work

>>4088722
Most likely better and more knowledgeable than you, ya salty /beg. Convince me to and tell me what it'll prove and maybe I will.

>>4088721
>You may suck at art right now, but keep trying and maybe one day you will get there
Are you okay anon? Projection is not a healthy way to cope with your incompetent

>>4088722
He won't, crabs scare of pyw and will always backpedal >>4088724

>>4088729
hmm it may just be you projecting anon. Cause I don't go calling random people on this board retarded crabs for no reason. o-o

>>4088705
Oh you're that redditor woof woof guy >>4085955

Your newfaggotry is showing btw. What an idiot

woof woof ;)

>>4088741
True that I don't come here often anon, but I like to give people my honest opinion whenever I do frequent this board known to be more generally geared towards the more no bounds set critique that other places that are not anonymous are not able to implement for obvious reasons.

>>4088751
You go here to give "no bounds set critique" and all you have to say is essentially "I don't like it." You're truly the person /ic/ needs in these dire times

>>4088743
God i wish that was me

>>4088751
lol for someone who sounds so conceited and confident with himself, you're acting like a fucking idiot right now

>>4088754
Isn't that what making it in art is based upon though? Other completely fucking random people around the world following you, and willing to spend $$ because they like your work and want to see more. Fancy times we're living in though if I must say so myself. Art and entertainment is usually the first things to die out in times of economical struggle.

>>4088751
Fuck off with your "no bounds set critique"
Your "crits" doesn't provide those artist anything to goes on and a way to fix their faults.
Your whole crits is just a useless post no better than those ass licking post on reddit.
Last thing we need is more crabs act like retards because it's 4chan and we can be edgy and rude haha.
Back to /pol/ or /b/ if you want to act like one

>>4088751
Are you hardstone mcflintcock

>>4088705
Found the anime cocksucker.

hi /ic, haven't gone traditional in a while - with mixed results

>>4088577
Not to post too much but I've been thinking about the face. Tried to make it a little less human-ish, and I'm a little more satisfied now. Does it look any better? Or is the difference too small?

>>4088705
???

here's another recent pic... the empty background is really distracting now that i'm looking at it.

>>4088771
I'm pretty good at digital but suddenly become a retard when i draw on real paper.
Love the top left one.

>>4088767
Ok anon, I was only sharing my own thoughts and opinions. I apologize if it may have came out as edgy and rude. Isn't that why people post things here in the first place, so that other people can state their very own thoughts and opinions on so and so drawing? I admit what I said wasn't that much of a critique it was more of a short flurry of words, or a thought, but not everyone has the time of day to type up and essay for every mistake seen in a drawing anon.

>>4088771
Cute stuff. I feel like you may be having some technical issues with the watercolor. I think you may want to practice doing washes, as a lot of your areas of color look a bit patchy. Are you using watercolor paper? These kind of remind me of when I tried to use watercolors on cheap sketchbook paper.

>>4088775
Just be better next time, if you don't have time to reply all then reply only to the one you like and help them fix their drawing.
Red line is always good

>>4088775
>>4088751
>>4088724
Post your work so we can know how valid your crit is, anon.
Unless you're some sort of pussy afraid of people calling your art bad on 4chan

>>4088772
give her some of these

What a weird experience.

>>4088775
>Isn't that why people post things here in the first place
No you idiot. You're a newfag redditor who has no concept of how this board works so you try jumping in the bandwagon with other crabs who contributes nothing to this thread

>>4088779
He's the woof woof anon sperging about porn in the alt thread

>>4088743
I wish that guy will draw more bestiality, just for fun you know haha

>>4088772
I like how you changed the eyes. Comparing them, the old eyes actually seem to have a cat-like factor them, so that’s good. Maybe for the new eyes you could round out the iris just a little more, since their angularity still make them look catlike. I also notice you changed up the quarter view eye—what was your thought process for that?

Also, I do kinda prefer the old cheeks since they look a bit rounder, but then again you’re going for nonhuman so it should be fine, and fanartists aren’t obligated to replicate the style perfectly, so it’s not a problem.

>>4088772
The hard thing about drawing non-human character is you have to make them look human but at the same time not so much that it's just a reskin human.

>>4088210
>>4088237
>>4088284
Man, fuck you guys. I wanted to see that post

>>4088800
It's on the archives

>>4088622
>nice lighting
Thanks so much anon :’) I’m gonna have it finished soon

>>4088800
Here you go anon
https://files.catbox.moe/3czkaj.png

>>4088705
that ain't chicken scratchy
you should SEE my chicken scratchy

95% of the time I just go with my original sketch because I hate doing lineart. It's a terrible habit and one I'm trying to work on.

cool guy

>>4087397
>>4088624
I'm glad you enjoy.

i've been trying to improve my animus, pic related are from imagination, what am i fucking up? i can tell it's off somehow.
i'll definitely use ref in the future when im drawing anime, i have to get used to the proportions and form of the skull which are still not familiar to me

>>4088894
I like it but it sure don't look like anime
I mean just look at some

>>4088863
I love the linework. Cute girl(boy)

>>4088890
He is pretty cool

>>4088894
This actually looks pretty good
>>4088898
What? Are you on crack

The change from 30 FPS to 24 did wonders.

I finally finished, I wish it looked more impressive but I guess I'm just not there yet. Going to post another version that's edited from my phone

>>4088937

>>4088937
The painting itself is good, it's just boring compositionally. Might look cool cropped really thin and tall, and with simple things at the top so there's less negative space.

>>4088946
Ohh you’re right about the composition anon, yours looks really interesting. I started this on a whim so I’d never even thought about the cropping when picking a canvas size. Thank you, I’ll think about it more next time

>>4088937
Pillow shading/10
Also too dark anon

>>4088955
I posted an edited brighter version too :v and damn I didn’t realise it was pillow shaded, I tried to avoid that. Thanks for feedback

Since the anon here >>4088705 is going to be lazy, I'll step up.

>>4087997
If you left this alone as flats, or used a cellshaded style, this would be much more appealing.

The linework is bold and strong enough to stand on it's own merits. The soft style shading, combined with the partially colored lines, clash with each other too much. It looks like a sloppy coloring book job over a solid linework.

>>4088315

The loose lines would work if this were a build up towards an animation. However, >>4088863 for illustrations it feels like you are scribbling and erasing to overcompensate for your lack of understanding of form. In addition to glaring perspective and anatomical issues (such as hands and then fact the latter picture looks like the subject is missing the back of her skull).

Work on your line confidence starting with basic shapes in perspective. It will work wonders for your future studies.

>>4088406
Well, the faggot's right on one thing: this is beyond hope.

No perspective, "form" is just a mess of contours devoid of structure, and her face is of nightmares.

>>4088577
Your style is appealing for a children's book, and it's depressing as fuck you went to get off on corrupting that.

Beyond not getting amphibians sporting human styles, and I hope you stop being cumbrain and use this style for good, I have nothing left to say.

>>4087472
Save for eyes, I really like this. Good job, anon.

>>4087476
Why do I get the sense her hair is not flowing from her scalp? Without a hierarchy of values, here's just no sense of form to it and just gets confusing to navigate.

>>4088505
Wonderful work, anon. The design of the robot suit and the girl's pose work beautifully together.

>>4083983
Great character. Simple design, great poses, and really feeling that work on the speedbag in that last shot!

The rest didn't leave an impression on me or everything has already been said about it.

Just to pop a few things off...

>>4083947
I like this a lot, anon. Who are your inspirstions?

>>4084277
Your words are wasted on Red. His time is invested in reigning in his retarded clique, and catering to the lowest denominator. Him pretending to be a "19 year old goth girl" and getting his clique to "fill in" on his own pieces (which he is too lazy to work out) cemented his faggotry.

He will not improve.

>>4088918
I think it could use a small pause around frame 20 right before she waves. Just let her settle into the pose a split second longer and I think it will flow a bit better.

>>4088993
>>4088994
Faggot

>>4088993
Feel like bolder colors with celshaded will improve the look of the first one
>>4088918
Feel too smooth with no frame to accent what's she doing.

>>4088993
>corrupting
faggot

>>4089004
>>4089010
Thank you, two. And everybody else who has helped me out with this. It means the world to me and my friend.

>>4088787
fuck that guy

>>4089032
woof woof anon wasn't sperging, i was sperging, he was just saying woof woof

>>4087851
yeah, i confirm what i said earlier, that's cool. blog?

>>4084200
I have no idea what this is but I love it. It would be nice to see something else.

>>4088900
thanky
>>4088993
>it feels like you are scribbling and erasing to overcompensate for your lack of understanding of form
more or less yeah
And I am actually an animator so I always draw super fast and rough. Not seeing what you mean about the skull though.

>>4088918
Needs more bounce

>>4088993
While harsh, I thank you for the critique. I have no illusions of thinking my stuff is anywhere near good yet, so I will take the elements you pointed out to heart and double down on practicing them more rigorously.

While the piece is beyond hope, hopefully I myself am not. We will see.

>>4088771
I like the ones on the bottom left, try doing the same on digital, good luck I luv u

>>4086646
Proof that hard round isn't a meme. I love this, anon. Keep it up.

>>4089240
>hard round
Explain to the brainlet, please?

>>4089248
Hard round brush. There's no blending there.

https://youtu.be/-Nt9fa8jZUE

>>4088791
Hm, I might play with that. I mainly just wanted to try using different eye shapes/designs to take her face look different from the frog boy.
> I also notice you changed up the quarter view eye—what was your thought process for that?
I wanted to give her more of a muzzle and moving the eyes seemed to better accommodate it
I think I will mess around with the face some more in the future. Also
>fanartists
What do you mean by that? I'm the original artist

>>4088792
Yeah, that's where a lot of my struggles are coming from. I might lean more heavily into the "frog" aspect to try and offset that.

>>4088993
Thanks anon, but where did you get the "corruption" idea from?

>>4089292
>What do you mean by that?
I mean if any of the other artists would want to make fanart of your frog people. I know you’re the original artist.

>>4088774
me too. i was trying to copy something like ghibli on that one

>>4088777
thank you, i did this on sketchbook paper...couldn't really put a lot of water on paper

>>4089145
thanks, i'm gonna need it.... for some reason, it feels better to color on paper, the way it flows and covers. it's very satisfying

>>4089311
Get yourself some proper watercolor paper, friend. Even the cheap stuff will serve you much better than sketchbook paper, you'll see an immediate difference and it will be much easier to use your paint.

cap da kid

>>4089330
Fuggin nice

So uh... is someone gonna... you know?

No, we DON’T know.
This is 4chan, so just spit it out.

Thanks, anon. Is just personal stuff, trying lay off fanart for a bit.

Oh yeah, that was me. I still have to color that one, though.
>>4088993
Thanks a lot, anon. Truthfully, I didn't I think would've been able to combine both of them.

>>4088030
Love the style and design of these characters. A lot of fun shapes going on. Got a sfw blog?

Sometimes I think cartooning is the way to go but I swear I'm autistic when drawing and my brain throws up all kinds of error alerts when I do anything other than simplified realism.
