Not happy with today's work. I'll just leave it here anyway.

The Thrang conglomerate would routinely disobey commerce law and smuggle in disassembled mechs to both dissident groups and their respective governments.

> but then got lazy for the rest of the clothes

Thanks, bro.

I'm so fucking inconsistent with everything I do. It's my number one goal right now, to be in a position where I know what to expect from my work, even if that's shitty art. I hate how any piece I make has bits on opposite sides of the spectrum and I can't figure out a solution.

Like in this one, I love the fur bits and the patterns on the shirt, but then the boots are absolute shit and I spent so long trying to get them to a place where I liked them but then gave up.

I dunno. Gotta keep grinding, I guess.

That's some nice character design, man. Love the cape (?).

>>4321448
I like how you're paying more attention to properly saturate the colors. You used to be much more loose with your work.

Also, that's a big robot penis.

Ever consider working at a larger scale with some more detail (same style, of course)? I love your stuff and it'd be awesome to see a more intricate piece

I feel tilting her head to rest on his shoulder would add to the playful demeanor. Relaxing the other shoulder and having the hand either smoothing down the fabric over her thigh or showing it visibly resting on the. Compositionally, I think this would add a nice flow to the image.

do you take inspiration from Firez by any chance? your faces are starting to become unappealing in the same way as his

>>4321611
The way you've drawn her nose and mouth makes her look quite dumpy and old. Try going for more refined and delicate shapes rather than the lumpy and bulky shapes you're using.

Anyone else going to do something for Lunar New Year?

@pollenoxide

how do you render like this? i'm guessing you need a transparent brush that blends? i really like the lineless look of it

>>4322675
Hard Round with 50%-60% opacity.

>>4322678
i think there's also some kind of other blending brush in there too, the colors run too smoothly in some parts which can't really be done with an ordinary transparent brush

>>4322683
Nope, that's all there is to it dude.

anyone else think that the 3rd pic is better than the 4th?

>>4322683
You can create those smooth blends just by color picking if your brush has atleast some transparency

>>4322047
Really fucking nice. What you use?

>>4322690
No, 4th looks great. Saved anon. Blog?

Yeah, but you posting it on this thread made me think you did it. Especially since you asked for a critique.

>>4322737
my bad, i don't feel like a single question would warrant a thread so i guess the generals would be the best place to ask, i like seeing art process pictures

studying Kyoung Hwan Kim today, hopefully I can try out this style on something original tomorrow

>>4321671
thanks, I love your shapes too!

open up your favorite program + couple of layers, and try it out yourself, you'll learn more that way

#1, #4 and #6 would be my pick to keep.

If I'm learning from references and reality when should I try to add things from imagination and start trying to stylize?

Thanks bro, appreciate that. You're not the first person to mention line confidence. Do you think you could explain further what you mean? (I'm hoping it's not one of those "I'll know it when I see it" kind of deals.)

>>4323635
Also what’s the lump between her forearm and upper arm?

>>4323863
Mate you need to draw more realistic horses before attempting stylization as there are a lot of things wrong here such as anatomy and proportions. Horses are also a very commonly drawn subject so don’t be afraid to copy work from other artists who stylize

>>4323965
Thanks Anon, I guess the better I can draw a real horse the better I can draw a stylized horse.
I have a lot of photo refs and I have some anatomy books so I'll keep studying, especially legs, I keep drawing them too thick.

how do i apply the texture? what kind of texture should i look for

>>4323795
Have you checked your drivers and installed the wacom helper thingy? Also, have you tried it on diff software (ms paint doesn't count) coz it might be a setting in your software.

Sometimes my drivers glitch out and the pressure stops working. I reboot and all is well.

Good luck anon.

>>4324285
Overlay with fibrous looking paper, I would use watercolour paper (:

Just adjust the saturation/opacity to your liking once your painting is complete

>>4321554
Do you sketch out your ideas and characters before you finalize them in a piece?

Will fix! thanks for the feedback

>>4323587
sorry for late reply m8. I don't get (you)s often so I'm not in the habit of returning to threads fast.
(Disclaimer: I wouldn't consider myself great at lineart/crosshatching because I get really impatient)

Line confidence is essentially how intentional the lines look. So, long flowy lines instead of a bunch of short lines stacked over each other. The best example is probably the light parallel lines on your version's tshirt. Since you don't have to do any curves it's probably easier than the other choppy bits. It's tidy and cohesive compared to say, the lines in her right (left on the screen) hand, or the shadow in the coat. If I had to describe it, you'd want a line that you can tell where the EXACT edge is. Like, if you had to draw over it with the smallest brush size possible, you'd know exactly where on the line you should follow. That being said, that doesn't mean you should only draw with a thin brush. Think lines are fine and in certain situations better, as long as you're purposeful about how they're placed.
Also, it's important to be able to differentiate if you need a long, medium, short/ curved, straight, or curled line for a particular situation. Although you theoretically can make one long line with a bunch of small lines, it just flows differently and very often looks different visually. I am also personally guilty of this crime, but if you're cross hatching, I suggest you make sure you lift your pen at each line (unless you're going for a specific effect). Though, you're better off than a lot of other people when it comes to that habit. I mainly only see it near the bottom of the shoes and maybe a little bit on the coat/dark areas.

Honestly, linework is just a thing that comes naturally when you get better at representing form, so don't feel too pressured to only grind lines. It's just helpful to keep stuff in mind for the rest of your drawings.
Anyways, here is my attempt since its a pretty cool pic. Got lazy near the bottom though ngl

ref

something i did a while ago.

>>4325456
wtf

>>4325568
Yeah? Help me understand.

redraw

>>4325590
Not the same dude but her bodily proportions are off so much to the point where it makes the picture very unappealing. Her shoes are obviously big as an exaggeration but it looks quite silly so maybe make them just a bit smaller. It’s also weird how mushy you made her back and but look in general. Not sure if you were going for that though but that’s my 2 cents

>>4325456
it's very washed out, ive been meaning to ask you btw what program are you using, i see you use a square brush with rotation and opacity, is that CSP? i cant create a similar brush in SAI from what ive tried and all i can use right now are SAI2 and Krita.

I would decompress the left buttock a bit as well as possibly giving the neck a forward slope and either repositioning the head more towards the front of the figure or pushing the gesture curve and lean it back further. the eye on the right also seems to be wrapping around the form of the skull.

>>4325456
are you going for a fucking minnie mouse approach on shoes

>>4325621
>>4325624
Thank you. I did have trouble with the values, felt very timid about it. I'm going to try with another ref with stronger range and just go harder on the base colors.
The brush is the marker with I believe default settings. I use it for most everything, but the difference here is I didn't start with flats and lines, instead I laid down a "wash" and built it up gradually on one layer. A bit like watercolor.
>>4325631
I know the shoes are far out but I just like it that way, I really like drawing and exaggerating shoes. In fact it's the main reason why I reffed this. So different strokes? Idk

>>4325633
that's hilarious i've never touched the marker

>>4325647
It's great. I missed it too for a while because it doesn't really sound like a "brush" but unlike the watercolor and other blending brushes it can draw lines. Can go on transparent with a light tough, or opaque with pressure. Does everything.

People may be giving you shit but I actually love it.

>>4326294
Why are the areas (including her head) next to or near the lampions less illuminated than her body?

Drew a bioluminscent darkwood.

>>4326568
I wasn't sure how much illumination comes from one, so I kept the amount of light low. And there's ambient light from somewhere else, so the lanterns aren't the only source of light.

>>4326510
You can start by making the camel toe a little smaller.

>>4326603

>>4326612
That are actually some really nice hips. Who's the model?

Why does some artwork look more ‘mature’ to me? For example >>4322916 looks like an adult made it while >>4323154 looks like it was made by a teenager

>>4326711
Because one of the artists is much more experienced than the other.

>>4326574
why are the characters magically, completely iluminated if the woods are dark?

>>4326711
It seems like the other way around to me. Your "teenager" drawings have much more balanced shapes and appeal, so despite them being simpler, it feels like someone older/more experienced did them, while the other post's drawings are overrendered with unbalanced, unappealing forms and shapes, something like an intermediate-tier teen would draw before they realize less is more.

>>4326762

It was supposed to be reflection from the large light beams. Should have turned it down a bit, whoops lol.

>>4321443
>>4322168
Is this any better? It looks better to me, but, you know, I'm biased :)

>>4325365
face values are great but the light is only cast on her face, nowhere on her body which makes the rest of her look flat. Ear is too small too. Nice colours otherwise.

Also work on your hand anatomy, it looks very rough.

rate please

>>4326711
This happens to me as well. I think it's a matter of style preference (you like and look up to a certain style and it makes you think that to do that you need more experience, thus an older artist, thus more mature) and subject/content (the "adult" artist draws more "adult" content).

Just my 2c.

>>4326711
Thats funny because orenji is probably older than the first poster

Thank you anon who recommended pixlr to my retarded mobilefag ass, here is a faceless self portrait

>>4326780
I honestly find the teen drawings way more unappealing and unbalanced. It looks like a boring uninspired teenager drew them. The first pic looks like it required a lot more skill to make, the second pic looks /int/, something a tumblr girl would draw.

>>4326875
bro you didn't even try, look at those spray paint cans/bug spray cans (or are they batteries?? i can't even tell), they're not even perfect cylinders, if you can't get that shit right how do you expect to make something appealing, spend two years studying figures and forget about those stupid highlights you added, forget everything, just start from basic fundies, i promise you this appeals to no one

>>4326875
It looks like you did the bare minimum man. Do you have any studies you can show? Maybe some examples of construction? The problem of showing this is that it is like 5 steps away from the core issues. Before you add any colors you should make sure you at least have a properly constructed character.

The other anon put it well, you didnt even make the cylinders in her hand even. If you arent at the point where you can draw a cylinder in any perspective, you shouldnt be thinking of drawing a complete person with color. There are a lot of valuable assets in the op of /beg/ (ignore the actual thread). Get studying.

it’s been over a month since i drew anything

study time

Needed a new pfp and wanted to keep it video game based so I just made one.

>>4326294
Why do you feel like you need linework over decent rendering? You outlined her breasts instead of properly implying the shape with values. Its lazy and looks bad.

Another example is her right forearm, the lines do nothing to convey form and as a result it looks flat and lacks perspective. If you insist on this type of linework, use a color that fits the composition and not black. Real shirts dont have random black lines at the folds, they have shadow. You arent inking, there is no reason to use black.

I also agree with the other anon about lightsources. The top of her breasts and her abs are in light but the top of her head, which is closest to a light source, is not.

>>4325985
please explain or redline how they could improve the anatomy in those pics

>>4326780
You have to either have retarded weeaboo shit bias or no idea how to draw if you really feel this way. The one with Helga showcases pretty good anatomy and actual details that come together nicely while the other one is literally every anime artist that is decent ever.

I'll take it as a compliment? My sketches are pretty rough but I'm trying to practice clothing and how it stretches and sits. I'm not a big fan of realism but I can see the importance in trying to make an image feel "real". I still need to work on posing, line weight, backgrounds, expression and colour among other things but my goal for 2020 as dumb as it sounds is to try and bring some form of realistic anatomy and clothing to some heavily stylized girls to ground them and make them "real" in a sense.

Is good stuff and really expressive but isn't attempting to be anything else. Which is perfectly fine in its own right imo. However I think the intent behind our drawings are different and it can be seen in the works.
That being said I have a loooooooong way to go before I can even apply any of what I just said to my own work. Finding a good balance between style and realism is tough when you are a master of neither.

>>4327689
You're pissing me off, I've seen your stuff since 2013, in the 7 years of you not improving and not trying anything new i dont know how you can keep drawing the same shit, I dont even mean your subject matter. its your technicality its the same. your ignorance with digital is holding you back so swallow your damn pride of using trad only and make something actually decent.

>>4328116
Shh, people only tell him he's good so he can continue stagnating.

>>4327869
Update.

>>4328113
Blog? I really like how you're taking these 'ugly' girls from 'ugly' cartoons and making them look attractive without losing the essence of their characters. Your style in general is really cool, honestly.

>>4321436
I'm trying to get the hang of drawing an old character from an animatic I made some years back.
Need to loosen up.

>>4328266
Also did this.

>>4328266
literally just raven

>>4328273
On a surface level, maybe. The script did call for a mysterious looking girl, so I pulled on things that I have seen in order to make this design.
To say that she's literally just Raven is a bit disingenuous and unhelpful, but whatever.

I'm trying to do pieces with actual composition but I'm not used to it so there's obviously room for improvement. I believe I have some clues about some of the mistakes I did:

The two main planes of the piece could be better contrasted by putting the cat further from the camera and the rat closer to the camera

The colours might make it a bit messy as well so some advices on how to pick colour schemes would be nice.

Maybe I should push the line weight a bit more.

At first it did not look like the cat and the rat were facing/looking at each other so I added the eye on the cat's tail to have a thing making eye contact with the rat. This led me towards making the cat into an eldritch abomination but now I feel like I overdid it and the thing is just crowded with details.

Thanks to anyone taking the time to crit this. Also, inb4 someone making a joke about Lovecraft's cat.

>>4328282
Lineweights and variations for sure. I think this image would be helped by giving the characters some bolder, more confident lines.
Also be wary of your perspective. A lot of your concerns with the line of sight would be fixed by staying aware of where your characters are in relation to one another.
One little trick to do is to make sure you have your perspective grid set up and sketch out your character's line of sight. This'll help you figure out if they'd actually be looking at each other.

>>4328159
Thanks! But this style and these pics only exist here rn. I'm just using this thread as a test bed really.

his art reminds me of the early 2000’s which is why i like it

that's not true. you CHOOSE to draw only on the weekends. Drawing for about an hour during the week is no real issue. You just make excuses.

As business cartoons go, this is really competent, and well designed. Far better than 90% of them.

Hey, you're drawing and getting paid for it. That's pretty good.

I know this isn't a request thread but I'm looking for more kind of weird looking girls in animated shows to draw like this so if anyone has any recommendations that I could use for practice then that'd be swell. Preferably girls who arent conventionally attractive but also kinda recognisable.

you're right, but It's more a deficiency in energy than time for me. I gotta look into lifting again as many anons have been suggesting here, exercise seems essential for this hobby almost.

>>4329305
Thanks. It was for an ad campaign that ended up getting canceled (management flip flopped) but it was a pretty unique idea as far as these things go. Still got paid so w/e

>>4329718
Actionhankbeard is the good shit

>>4329740
It's definitely a requirement if you're a professional. Having an ergonomic workflow is also a must (if you're ctrl-zing every other stroke, you'll cripple yourself.

Exercise and stretching helps stave off tendinitis and other bad shit. Having an adjustable tablet stand, ergo keyboard, rollerball mouse (feels weird at first but holy SHIT it saved my hand from Adobe illustrator), comfortable chair, and possibly standing desk (used to use my windowsill; you could prop up a regular desk) help a lot.

If you're in America, all of this combined is cheaper than any medical work or therapy. I've been using a crank-adjusting IKEA standing desk and it's been great.

If you lift, make sure to stay really hydrated, especially if you eat a high protein diet (including whey) and/or use creatine. Protein, creatine, and torn muscle are processed thru your kidneys and if there's not enough water to process it you'll pee blood (it's usually just muscle fibers but it looks like blood). It doesn't hurt but you'll have to go to the ER to make sure you're not dying and you'll be out at least $2k WITH decent insurance.

On an unrelated note, Bernie 2020

>>4328116
I don't see how trad only is a problem for him. He can both go for more complex inks or proper marker range. Hell even Black plus 1-2 markers is very much viable especially for something like comics.

No background or story in the picture is what's holding his work.

>>4329474
No. What kind of madness struck you that you decided to use a profile view?

>>4329595

how can I give my art more soul? how do you hoan in on that kinda thing?

Thanks again for the crit, I'm not entirely comfortable with using perspective grids but I'm gonna work hard on that!

What's the proper sizes for a full body drawing?

>>4330041
not bigger than 1000 pixels wide. There is not really a standard.

>>4328573
thanks bro, im mostly on ig https://www.instagram.com/carlito.0000/

>>4329833
Same way I will hold issue with symmetrical character pose, unless it served some clear purpose. It's not technically a crime but it's boring and lazy. And his pose additionally hides the face.

>>4326849 (forgot to check back here again oops)
Nice! That's actually quite a lot of improvement for just a few days. I drew your pic again if that's cool
There's a few things worth mentioning though:
1. Don't be too afraid to make things dark. It's good that your lines are neat now, but remember that no shadows doesn't necessarily make things less clean than if there were any. For practice, you can make a separate layer and add shadows to plain lineart. I'd say you should try this for basically every piece you line, just because you already spent the effort lining it.
2. Lines don't necessarily have to be too straight/smooth. It looks a little unnatural in certain places, like the shading on your version's collar, the hoodie strings, and a bit of the hair. Honestly, you shouldn't stress about this point too much. It's something that'll just improve as you're able to draw straight lines faster. (which brings the next point)
3. Try to draw your lines fast since it'll look more natural. Again, it'll also come naturally over time, but you can do a few things to practice it too. Just practice drawing lots of circles and straight lines fast as an exercise before drawing. Alternatively, once you get a little faster at drawing in general, just keep redrawing the same img in the sketch phase, then choose the one that turned out best for actually finishing.
4. Remember, you can also draw with transparent color(or white ink for traditional). What I mean by this is that some things you don't need to draw perfectly with just a pen. For example, the stitch looking thing on the pants, the shoelaces, and the hoodie strings. What I did was draw them with a thick black brush, and then used a thinner version of the brush and drew over the thick line with the brush set to transparent mode. It's helpful for making things look a bit more consistent.

in pic related, I made her a little shorter because she seemed too tall, but disregard if that was intentional. Keep up the good work!

>>4331440
Thanks for doing this, anon. I wasn't expecting you to. Saving these based posts.

Do you have a blog I can follow?

>>4331446
No problem! I don't really keep any blogs because I can't into them, sorry. But maybe when you make it I'll find you again on yours

>>4331453
That's too bad. You give me hope, anon. Much love.

someone make a new thread

>>4331440
Lovely work anon!

>>4329595
I'm not saying this to stir anything up, but I think you should go back to fundamentals. Your art isn't on the same level as others posting in the thread, you need to continue figure drawing (Will Weston courses aren't uploaded yet, but photos on his Instagram should help you see how to use 3d forms to sketch a body in perspective) and start practicing drawing drapery more seriously. You should be able to get more feedback from the beginner thread and not worry about stylization yet, your anime style will improve with learning the fundamentals (you will observe more and it will be easier to achieve to result). Best of luck in future
