the girl looks like she does meth, and the dudes eyes are skewed.

>>4156453
Yeah his eyes are fucked, the girl was meant to look somewhat ratty though so I don’t mind as much :v

Best way to improve brush economy?

>>4156551

hello, on short notice I have to learn how to draw manga style at least okayish, what's the best book on that (I already know how to draw)

>>4156560
if you already know how to draw, literally just pick a manga artist you like and study them.

this is the most boring thing ive ever drawn lol

>>4157440
I like it. Got a blog?

>>4157440
it was funny?

>>4157447
Love you. Mado's left hand looks a tad too big though, and her right wrist looks a bit broken.

>>4157451
thank u anon... i was having a hard time with that and gave up, but since it is noticeable...

i think I fixed it

>>4156551
use bigger brushes, set yourself stroke limits, create efficient brushes for different situations.
try to think about what your brush stroke is gonna add to the image instead of just aimlessly mushing pixels together.
studying from life helps a lot.

>>4156969
>>4157027
Thanks, I originally went for a more greyish green atmosphere, this works too.

>>4157905
There's noticeable stuff wrong with the body, but I feel like her face is what really needs some tuning.

>>4157936
thanks
yeah ill go back to studying
always nice to draw something finished

>>4157962
that is true, and honestly that's how you learn the most; if you are just starting it's a good idea to have a goal in regards to studies, like 10 figures per day or 10 hands per day etc. while also having a goal in regards to personal work, like 1 drawing per day or 1 finished piece per day etc.

Even if you can't stick to studies daily, its a good thing to find where you were lacking in a previous drawing and try to study that for a little bit.

>>4156730
I like this. Do you have more stuff in this style?

>>4157994
HOTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Yeah, I dunno about this one chief.

>>4158052
how old are you

>>4157905
I'm not gonna pretend I'm not still /beg/ myself, but push, push, push your form and shading harder. Try to conceptualise the subject as a collaboration of 3D objects as opposed to a single static object. Really think about what emotion you're trying to convey when you draw something like this, and don't be afraid to exaggerate your lines. Keeping a mirror on your table and using yourself as a reference for these kind of things can be enormously beneficial.

>>4158052

CUTEEEEEEEEE

>>4158052

>>4158813
My brush for linework isn't actually 100%. It's around 90% so you get some parts of your line have a "thin" feel.
Then I add thicker lines on some parts.
Nothing much to see here @nayanderu02
>>4158817
Thanks mate.

>>4157986
Not all that much right now but I want to start doing more of it. see here: >>4158042

>>4158046

>>4159214
this desu

>>4156015
blog?

what about this one?

How do I into textures?
Please

>>4159303
what is a texture but a miserable little pile of forms?

You draw render texture much the same way you do big forms.

Jokes aside, just copy whatever your fav artist does. Usually it's "suggestion>full rendering" and "less detail further from camera". There are a lot of books and videos about this stuff. Check Alphonso Dunn on youtube, for one example. Or books on drawing comics.

>>4159308
I can't copy them if I can't see what or how the fuck they're doing it. I'll check your suggestion, thanks, but a simple search tells me this isn't what I'm looking for. A pure painting tutorial would help me more I feel. I can already render/shade stuff pretty nicely but that's not painting, I just apply flat colors to carefully drawn lineart and just airbrush light and shadows and for generic anime that works pretty well. The real good artists however carve details and textures directly with their magic (to me it's magic) brushes and give their surfaces granular details and can't for the life of me figure out how they do it. There's also what I'd call the "photoshop" way of texturing which involve actually using real textures and slapping them on your drawings and make them blend naturally. Ideally I'd like to master both. I can't really find any tutorial about this.

>>4159334
well if you want to do the stuff like the pic related, check out courses on photobashing, because that's what it is. If you want to know how to use this workflow with painting, go no further than Sakimichan's videos.

And if you want to know how to paint realistic textures, all you have to do is open a book on painting. Again, Loomis should be your first stop. If you can paint a sphere, a cylinder, and a cube, you can paint a sphere and a cube with surface variation on their surfaces.

>>4159343
I see, thanks, any idea where to find saki's videos?

Did a redraw of a sailor moon frame in my stile

>>4159345
they're on cgpeers

>>4159334
But that picture doesn't have much in the way of textures. At least, not ones for which a special brush would help. It's just smooth shading with lots of details. The carbon fibre parts are maybe the only exception, but even that I don't expect you'd have a special brush for.

>>4159391
Not a fan of the style, but the real issue is bone structure, the right part of her face is mutating to the side and the way the hand is connected to it is awkward too. Try to sketch the shape of the head first before adding details, so you can place the eyes nose mouth where it makes sense.
Also I'll just add that I find hard to tell the intent of her expression with this style. I like the linework in this piece though.

You're right, maybe I'm overthinking this in general.

smearing shit on the canvas at this point

>>4159560
i lov u... glad u like em

>>4158344
You've improved in just about everything, but I would say the monster being more obscured in the original is superior. Not being able to fully see its form is spooky. Seeing that it's just a giant blob with eyeballs is dopey.

>>4159278
Did she hit a wall with her face? Cause it's completely flat.

part of a cover for my comic.

>>4159278
>>4159634

He's true, you know. I shouldn't be one to judge since I couldn't make a drawing close in quality to what you did here, but I tried nudging it around in literally paint.

I moved the eyes back in the skull and the mouth forward. Also erased that line on the nose that seems to separate it out as a flat plane, and made it a little rounder.

Also, notice how her right breast (our left) is in the middle of her chest, while the left one (our right) is way off to the side. I tried moving it around, but I think some linework has to be redone. Also, maybe this is just a style thing, but the butt seemed more angular on one side than the other, consider smoothing that out a bit.

What does it say about me that I only noticed issues with the tits and ass? Enough.

>>4159620

>>4159632
yeah, I agree on that; I did make some changes to make its upper part fade to black and for it to be less bright overall.

>>4159654
Neat. Blog?

>>4156950

>>4158052
I would like it if you made everything more angular, then it would look very stylish

lmfao scrolling down thread and tfw almost 98% of drawings have a "blog?" attached to it. It's almost becoming a meme now. I get it when a good drawing gets praised but I don't understand when a shitty piece of art gets praised. It's like calling someone that's ugly they're pretty, and completely mindfucking them, making them delusional, and a laughingstock to society.

>>4162861

@mymoonjelli

>>4157994
are you the loli guy? You must be... The arms just feel/look so stiff, and the shine and poor colouring on the muscles aren't doing the drawing any justice either. The abs also seem poorly cut out and attached using the lasso tool or whatever. Dude how do you stay the exact same skill level for this long? It's almost like you're purposely not trying to improve.

I don't think I understand. But I notice now that it doesn't really follow perspective properly.

god fucking damn it I wish how to use shade&light

I have this weird mind boggle about proportion because I'm not trained in drawing costume and clothing enough. I don't a good resource /book to read on so most of the time I've been only eyeballing them with measurement skill.
This image for example, sometime I see the torso being too short or the clothes just happened to cover up to his waist. Could be his head is too big but I'm too lazy to fix it now.

>>4164233
don't have*

>>4164225
I hear you anon, I just need to know how to use my software in the most efficient way and learn the best way to shade

>>4164055
nice colors

>>4164225
literally add 1 layer, choose multiply and then pick whatever color ur balls tell u. then pick a source of light and go with it. same for the highlights, pick overlay or screen or whatever, you want and do it.

the drawing tells me you have a good understanding of forms so you should be able to easily do something at least this shitty. you just need to try frend.

all good shit here

Disappointed with how much time it's taking me to just "layout" these pages
The story keeps fucking changing too, like I'd draw something according to the script then go "It'd be cool if I changed this", then I'm telling a completely different story

>>4165225
okay I think I know what the problem is with your faces

you mix realism with simplification and often the perspective and form is broken
look at the rightmost girl, her mouth is fairly detailed, but the nose is just two lines and it doesn't read well either
her eyes are also placed awkwardly and look very flat
the left-most girl's face looks the most right to me

pic related you drew an amazing face, it's almost like a different artist
everthing has good form

I've been pumping out stories for some time now but I feel like I'm doing something wrong, not sure what.
What aspects do you think what I should improve?
