This character is criminally underrated and needs more art.

Very messy and I still have a lot of stuff to clean up but I think I will put this down for now. I am only unsure if I should get rid on the shine on the scales

>>4393225
looks wonderful frend... your rendernig is always so elaborate...

>>4393225
Have you changed eye and face styles, nessie? Btw good job on the rendering from the torso, it looks amazing and super soft

>>4393225
i hate one point, always looks boring.

>>4393229
Thanks. I am not at a point where I am happy with my rendering yet but I am glad to hear that lol

>>4393251
I haven't really changed styles, I just this character a different type of eye than what I usually do because I was trying to make it resemble the eyes of some naga statues I had been looking at for inspiration.
>Btw good job on the rendering from the torso, it looks amazing and super soft
Thanks, I have realized my one goal in art is get good at drawing male torsos and I am trying to get better at it

>>4393292
That's a shame, I think there are a lot of pictures that use 1 point perspective in a very striking way.

Since the comic general died a while back and no-one started one up again (for good reason), why don't we expand /alt/ to include comics as well?

>>4393528
Nobody is disallowing comics

I posted this two days ago on /asg/,
but since there is more focused on studies
I think here is more appropriate

>>4392755
me on the right

>>4393488
draw pony again, you know the one im talking bout

designing outfits for a scientist type character while trying to avoid making it too on-the-nose by giving him a lab coat etc.

>>4393670
>scientist
what he study?

>>4393670
That's pretty good.

>>4393528
I don’t think many people here do comics

>>4392973
Very good technically, but you definitely could've had more fun with the composition.
You could've made the viewer lay on the ground with the tip of her spear hovering above his neck, or you could've let the viewer be a pathetic mortal observing her angelic take-off towards heavens from the ground.

Instead you just let the viewer be someone watching the angel from afar, without any engagement.

>>4393370
I love this.

>>4393556
FUCKING DELETE THIS SHIT
EVERY TIME YOU POST IT I GET ANGRIER
THE DRAWING IS SHIT AND YOU KNOW IT
LET IT GO AND MAKE SOMETHING NEW
REDRAW IT IF YOU REALLY CARE THAT MUCH

Chemistry, but bows are pretty good too

>>4392755
Nika, is that you?

>>4394180
You already made him nerdy looking which is a personality normally associated with scientists. And gave him a pencil, which is associated with taking notes and being a thinker.

If you don't want to go to the obvious choice of giving him some type of lab gear, there is not much more you can do.

Although a pencil behind the ear like that reminds me more of a carpenter. I personally would give him a pen and put in the front pocket of the shirt.
Also maybe using more clear colors, because it is more associated with lab.

>>4393879
You're gonna fuck you're back up

These are really good

Thought of Lisa Frank art for some reason and made this a few weeks ago

>>4394342
Looks 100% professional, nice

>>4394351
Oh and I would take a second look at his eye blinks, they look a bit mechanical and slow maybe

>>4393229
Its really not, but go ahead and suck his dick some more.

>>4394356
>his

>>4394357
Excuse me, suck on her smelly, saggy, fujo labia.

>>4394342
looks really sick, now just put in an order of magnitude more work for a little head turn.

>>4394342
Excellent work dude

>>4394351
Thanks anon! I definitely need improvement desu.
>>4394353
I agree they just a tad too slow haha, I animated the blinks on 1s at 24 fps. My timing needs improvement.
>>4394367
Thank you. I agree a bit more acting would definitely improve the scene. This was mostly an exercise in compositing a scene using After Effects. I'm grinding out my animation fundamentals, so I'm open to any solid recommendations desu. I've been lurking the animation generals from time to time.
>>4394369
Thank you, dude!

I have tons of big gaps of when i draw , even though i enjoy it kinda my own habits killing me on the inside.
Gonna try to at least doodle something daily.
Here ya go lads

>>4392754
Great use of contrast. Would look even better with tighter line control and cleaner rendering, imo. Although I do admire the sketchiness to an extent.

>>4392817
Damn, this is pretty cool. He's giving off some Sandman vibes.


>>4392850
Great use of shape, Very confident. line work. Pose could use a bit more refinement maybe? It's hard to tell if she's sitting on the object or lounge on it. She looks disconnected from the egg shaped object.

>>4393225
You're been masking amazing progress and improving as illustrator. Your sense of composition especially. Although I think you'd holding back in terms of light & shadow. Your values sometimes look a bit too flat or not mood setting enough.

Your work has a very pastel dream book aesthetic, Imo you should give more thought to the lighting in your setting. I'd describe the lighting in that one as an overcast sky.

>>4392872
Uuuuhm, context? :''D

>>4394661
Reminds me of that old skeleton hiccups book

Finished it - tried some new stuff
>did markers before inking
>more heterogeneity in background, should push more
>inked with a micron 01 instead of the PN
>finally using the chisel tip on the marker

First time I filled an entire page with marker ink. I feel like if I did 50 more backgrounds I could actually make something cool.

tfw jannymod deleted the flatchest version in the last thread so I gave her bobs

>>4394467
Thanks anon. Yeah, after reflecting on some recent pieces, I have been thinking about how I do not have a very strong understanding of lighting. I'm gonna try and do some studies and crank a few pieces focusing on that aspect soon, hopefully. Thanks for the feedback

some girls are just flat chested - is the artist trying to draw them as children though?

>>4395542
It is art
Just because you dont like it doesn't mean its not true
You fucking retard

>>4395727
Pedoshit will never be art, faggot. Its normalizing the sexualization of children, who cannot legally consent IRL. Red board mods ban this shit on site outside of /b for a damn good reason, and you pedos sure as hell aren't exempt here.

The moment you faggots get so much of a fucking inch, you spam the entire board with your bullshit.

Crawl all the way back to your containment board and fuck off.

>>4395743
woof woof :)

>>4395743
Why do you keep saying normalisation? Child fucking has been looked down upon since we could walk upright. Not to mention that most people just arent attracted to kids to begin with. Some cave carvings on a wall somewhere didnt make grug grab little soozee and pipe her down. Lolicon is not real. Its just a drawing. Calm yourself. I know that you dont like to see it. I don't like to see gay or tranny shit but I will defend to the death people's right to draw it.
It amazes me how far people will go to destroy things they dont like.
Also, what do you mean "give an inch? People like you attack us constantly without provocation. Id say its more like we're shackled in a cage.

>>4395233
>Caves in by adding disgusting moo cows.
>Not just drawing a flat chested girl and calling her a boy.
You disgust me.

That would be worse, you uncultured zoomer

>>4395801
You're right, drawing a girl and calling it a boy is disgusting. He should have just drawn a boy from the start

>>4394477
don't post your futa shit here, fag

>>4395803
>Not just drawing a girl and giving her a glorious boiclit.
Normies, normies everywhere.

I'm a /beg/, trying a big ambitious scene as a way to learn faster and step out of my comfort zone.

Inb4 furry, it's a Khajit, it's meant to be a scene from Oblivion taking place in Bravil.

Anatomy isn't strictly realistic, I'm going for 6 heads tall.

I'd appreciate all critique, redlining or advice, even rude.

>>4395179
I see, in your future, you hired for a guest cover/variant cover artist. Keep pushing it!

>>4395906
I hate when I look at a piece of art that makes me physically feel like I got worse at drawing just from looking at it.

>>4395906
It's good that you're going for an ambitious scene. Do the best you can, but I suggest ending this piece at the lineart stage and moving to the next one. Overall, your expressions are decent for a beg, and its good that you're focusing on dynamic poses, but the piece is held back because you don't have enough experience with anatomy and clothing yet. Moving on, I think the best part of this piece so far is that you're telling a story in a single image. Some people never quite get that abstract concept, but if you're a beg and "get it", then you'll probably make it pretty far in art.
Lastly, good on you for not hiding hands, put in the pain now and you'll thank yourself later. But as I said earlier, don't take this piece to color, you need to keep practicing drawing for now. Good luck, dude.

Coming down home stretch.

>>4395938
That happens to me daily, just by browsing this board.

>>4395906
Starting this way is fucking frustrating. Study anatomy and how to draw Heads and hands from loomis. He also have a book on compositions, i think it's called successful drawing. It sounds boring but it's actually Fun and pretty fast If you have some talent. Doesnt make Sense to me starting with something so big because even If you had the knowledge to make the characters look right the placement would probably make the final product look weird.

>>4394967
Thumbnail looks shit, but full res is kino

>>4395987

>>4396102
I like this a lot, the only thing I can really see is the goat guy falling of the back seems a bit too big compared to the others.
Is this related to Catherine btw?

>>4395946
The ear placement and the face are looking really uncanny.... the ears also kind of look like they're on the same plane as the face, so maybe try to move the ears further back behind the hair

wip

>>4396124
Oh you're right he's way out of scale with the other two, thanks for pointing that out.
And yeah it's based on Catherine. I've been looking at Shigenori Soejima's art for inspiration and I guess it carried over into my dream lol.

>I don't think the cost / effort to value ratio would be very good if I sold drawings
How about a redbubble store then?

>>4396943
Stylization implies you are competent enough in the fundamentals to deviate away from life. Lack thereof results in Sakimichan threads because her torsos are centipede-like with the head completely disconnected or spine severed into two despite the heavily stylized medium aimed at you coomers who are too dickbrained to notice the absolute monstrosity she creates.

>>4396594
Do you upload your stuff somewhere else besides twitter? It feels like I miss out on cool drawings like the centaur bot and >>4390790 if I weren't obsessed with /ic/ as I am.

>>4396949
Sakimichan is the best, I adore her, so you can end here. Her composition and focus are always exactly where you want, it's perfect.

>>4396594
I remember that an anon asked you some time ago about what you did to become so good or what you started with (I think it he asked what resources you used like Loomis, Hampton or Vippu and so on?). Did you answer him? I forgot which thread it was and couldn't find it anymore and check if you did.


Also, how does one learn to draw cute/sexy robo girls like you do? I still envy you for that Drossel and other mech/robo girls drawings. And now you can add your Spider Gwen drawings in as well into the mix for extra jelly, ha. I'd really like to know how to git gud as well.

>>4396609
>Originals
I’m not so attached to any drawing, would be nice to see them go to a good home, but the pricing is horrendous if I calculate the true time / cost at an hourly pay rate. Basically I’m still too slow.

Heh sorry bud, the face was too small to draw more detailed eyes.

Do you have a better res version? I think I need to get my eyes checked, this is already too small for me.

Good to hear that, I was already worried. I just really like your drawing style.

>>4397074
>>what you started with
Ehhhh i’ve never read the sticky. I tried Loomis but it was so boring i didn’t want to draw anymore. I just do lots studies of favorite artists. Best tips from /ic/ I’ve gotten
>find a comfort zone and fall back to it
>draw in pen
>study animation frames (Trigger, Gainax, Wolf Smoke)

I like robots and girls, I guess just draw what you like, and do studies of what you think looks cool

>>4397389
Based

>>4395233
I messed around with this some more. Made her bobs smaller (it's not a l*li, it's a generic fuggin anime girl with small bobs, and if you have a problem with this version, you must also have a problem with the big bob version because apart from the breast size, I changed nothing proportionally. Breast size is not indicative of age. In fact, there are far more women who have small breasts than there are women who have large breasts.) because I couldn't figure out how to fix the perspective of the bikini in the big bob version.
Changed the colors, eyes, legs and tried to make the hair more polished but I think I made the hair look worse. Thoughts?

>>4395324
I don't really have a good answer. I just try random colors and try to figure out what looks good as I go along. Usually I'll look at references if I'm stuck.

Much better. Also check the position of the left arm/hand. The hand should be further back and closer to the torso considering the bend in the shoulder and the elbow.

>>4397157
Thanks for the higher res

>>4397398

>Ehhhh i’ve [...]
But at some point you had to figure out or learn from someone else how to construct to begin with, no? I ask because your thumbnails in the sketchbook pol show that you could do that already do that in 2013

>>4397471
Are u boredanon?

>>4397722
I studied some ref / tut photos. There are basic things like the face halves and the hands half way on the thighs.

Things like toshi sketches have a lot of lines that imply form. You pick up little things here and there. I used to draw that cross on the face for like 3 years...

>>4397109
I hate you all, you complain when people upload high res files and then complain when the file is browser friendly size

>>4397817
I think there is a nice Goldilocks zone between browser-breakingly large, and too small to get a good look at the details

>>4397662
Funny idea, great concept. Horribly drawn

>>4397824
>>4397817
The largest dimension should be 1000. Any larger is too big, any other is too small.

should try to do more pose variety when it comes to mecha drawings

This is my usual style. I dont know where it came from, maybe a mix between Crumb and Groening.

What do yall think?

Not sure if there's a better board for this but I started making odd 3d animations recently https://youtu.be/103d01b5HAM

>>4397916
>Any larger is too big, any other is too small.
>source: my ass

>>4394400
what filtering did you use for the old anime look

>>4393243
Surprised no comments. Really nice lines and decent figure.

>>4398074
It's pretty cool.

To get that Crumb shading style, I'd suggest not being so uniformly heavy with your hatching and add in some more stippling with white space instead. The hatching makes it hard to tell where clothing folds are in a couple of panels, especially on his pants.

>>4398131
theres literally no reason you should need more than 1000px on your biggest dimension for most images to post

>>4398432
Oh yes, there is. Zoom for details.

>>4398445
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTE

>>4398439
im not especially anal about filesizes but "detail" is not a good enough justification for 99% of the stuff thats posted with like 4000x4000px canvases
especially when its wips/sketches/vector(?) art
>>4398074
>>4397662
>>4396064

most people have the courtesy to post downscaled to below 1500px images, and post full rez if asked

>>4398460
you act like you don't already have the option enabled to auto-scale images to fit the width of your screen

>>4398468
for as much extra effort as it takes for me to load in 3 extra MB per image, it takes the poster to rescale an image before posting
its just common courtesy (sorry, does that concept not exist where you live? or maybe this is just a 4chan thing)

>>4398476
>it takes too long to load an image
Ah, peasant problems.

>>4397404
Skinny girls are hotter anyway.

So I understand that I should learn to be able to understand and draw proper anatomy for appealing stylized characters, but could you say the same standard should apply for faces/ heads? Or would a simple basic understanding of say Loomis proportions suffice for going right into stylization? (basically asking should I be able to draw a realistic face before a cartoon face, which I already know applies to bodies)

>>4398612
I think you should draw and decide for yourself instead of asking about other people's high standards.

>>4398615
I mean I feel like I can draw pretty good anime faces but my art has been criticized as looking like an anime head stuck onto a realistic body

>>4398632

>>4398646
what

>>4398632
Well, you could post your artwork for me to see, but I don't think you will. Anyways, one thing I learned during stylization studies and realism is that what separates them apart is basically proportions. Obviously you can't do a large anime head with the average 7 1/2 heads proportions unless that character is actually reasonably tall. There's other things like shoulder and hip proportions too. It really just depends on what it is you're shooting for. So take this however.

That just looks unrefined to be honest. Clean it up and maybe it'll be easier to tell especially without all those lines everywhere.

>>4398659
Do you think its worth the time to clean that up or should I just move on

>>4398668
You could always just draw something else. I wouldn't even mind seeing a 10-30 minute full body sketch so we can more quickly access this issue.

Just move on and stop trying to polish that turd, you'll gain more mileage if you perform those quick sketches like you've been told to do on that other thread but no instead you're shopping around to hear what you want to hear. It's all so tiring.

>>4398675
haha you're so right dude

OH MY WOOOOUZERS YOU JUST EPIC OWNED HIM BROOOOO WOOOOOHOOOOOOO THIS IS TOP TIER 4CHAN HUMOUR LIKE YOU JUST IMPLIED THAT HIS REDDIT BECAUSE YOU SAID REDDIT GOLD OH MY GOD I TOTALLY CATCHED THAT, IM CLAPPING RIGHT NOW! DID YOU JUST CAME OUT WITH THAT BY YOURSELF? YOU ARE SO FUNNY!

>>4398742
your comment is literally worse than either of the ones before

>>4398749
But he's still right you know.

>>4398655
The issue is less realistic vs. stylized anatomy, and more a problem of proportions. Those shoulder's look like a man, and combined with the small head it looks like an anime girl's head pasted on to a man's body. Reminds me of images like this to be honest.

Did this for a different thread, turned out good for only about and hourish of work

>>4398758
But that image actually looks like a girl

>>4398758
Not the guy you replied to, but how do I improve my proportion game?

>>4398671
>>4398758
alright i just did this quickly

>>4398780
You forgot her feet.

>>4398779
Use a reference (like Loomis's proportion sheet) and make measurements across the body to make sure everything is of the correct length. Memorize some landmarks and general rules to make things easy for yourself.

>>4398786
uh here (i cant draw feet)

>>4393370
Very nice

>>4398802
What, but that looks just fine. Just connect it together with the rest of the image.

>>4398808
how do i move multiple layers at once in sai

>>4398780
You have all the same issues as the first picture. Small head, wide shoulders, short ribcage/long arms/long legs. If you really want to go for a more realistic look you should spend more time studying real women

>>4398811
Hm I see, thank you. I don't know if my end goal is hyper realism but my issues are more proportional anyways it seems.

>>4398694
>>4397399
thanks frends

>>4398780

Here you go, all I did was enlarge the head and it feels a lot better to me, but that's just my opinion. I assume you like them thick, so I tried to play from that pov. Sort of like Houtengeki.

>>4398790
Okay.
You know what? Fuck it. I'll finally read Loomis' books and try not to give up after a few chapters, again. Is there a book order that I should follow? FWAP -> Successful Drawing -> ... ?

>>4398829
Fun with a pencil.

>>4398824
hey nice, thanks for that. definitely feels better
>I assume you like them thick
This is true but in all honestly, this is just how they always turn out. maybe its my subconscious

Goblin head sketches in prep for a comission, any input would be appreciated cuz goblins are a bit outside of what I'm used to drawing and the client specified not wanting the goblins head to be disproportionately big.

>>4398829
If you're an absolute /beg/ fwap or draw a box may be helpful. If you can draw basic geometric shapes decently I would honestly recommend Hampton over Loomis, and just doing a bunch of figure studies to absorb what the book explains to you on constructing figures. I only posted the Loomis sheet because it's a good reference for proportions specifically.

Thats really problematic drawing, yikes sweaty big oof

love it

>>4399038
pose doesn't read well

>>4399098
i think this is great but you clearly had issues with the perspective on the legs and the long arm... either way seriously love it frend!

>>4398990
>If you can draw basic geometric shapes decently I would honestly recommend Hampton over Loomis, and just doing a bunch of figure studies to absorb what the book explains to you on constructing figures
I take it you mean that as in "If you can draw basic geometric shapes decently in perspective"?
Also why Hampton over Loomis, does he condense or explain the subject at hand better?
I don't know the first thing about figure drawing/studies, I guess Hampton's book will explain it?

>>4399082
disagree, I think the far arm could be swung out more for dynamism but even without that it reads fine

>>4398647
Nice!
Really dig this design/style

The back of his clothes is drawn in such a way that at first I thought his torso is turned towards the camera and the gun is in the right hand

>>4399271
for me the pelvis flips back and forth depending on which part i'm looking.

>>4399273
yeah this too
there is no way you can turn the torso that far, his spine is twisted

>>4399280
I think the hips could be twisted just a tad

alright now how about this

>>4399298
sweet, thank you! I think this is what the issue was... I realized something might have been off with the pose and I did do the legs last, thank you!

Wow, when did /alt/ get so good?

Contrast practice.

It’s /beg/ tier shit.

>>4399570
Ok thanks

>>4399098
This is a great character design.
I think there should be more consistency with the texture. You've got a rough charcoal-like brush for the shadows but a very smooth digital look for the highlights that clashes. I also think you should include a bit more ambient occlusion so that objects and planes stick out more from each other.

Magnificent

>I take it you mean that as in "If you can draw basic geometric shapes decently in perspective"?
Yes. Basically, if you have the skills to draw a sphere, draw guidelines on it, and place features on it, and to rotate boxes and cylinders. Perspective does not need to be perfect, but it very useful to have.
>Also why Hampton over Loomis, does he condense or explain the subject at hand better?
I recommend Hampton over loomis because Hampton explains how to construct the forms of the human body in a more easily understandable way.
>I don't know the first thing about figure drawing/studies, I guess Hampton's book will explain it?
Yes, Hampton is all about figure drawing. I would recommend taking his construction methods and using them while drawing along to something like croquis cafe videos.

>>4399784
Blog?

>>4399683
Thanks for the answers.
If I may ask one more question about construction, could you post an example of how you (specifically) went about and used geometric shapes in your works?

Is he cute?

>>4399911
Looks like a fatter Marceline with a different hairdo, to be honest.

>>4399926
Damn I had the thought when drawing it but now that you mention it, it looks like a bootleg adventure time oc.

>>4398612
Anon, this tutorial is in Japanese, but you could try just looking at the video.

Skip to 19:00 and watch until about 50 minutes in, he'll have an "anime face slapped to real anatomy" and then go through the process of turning it into more "2D girl".

The main gist is drawing things a bit thinner than IRL because when you don't have shading (flat colors in manga/anime), things look thicker than. That and a bit of altered proportions on hip height, head size and leg length to make it more idealized, but those steps are optional.
Line economy is also good to avoid uncanniness.

Top comfy.
This is very simple, yet so three dimensional, do you draw a lot of boxes?

>>4400483
Thank u!

I honestly think drawing boxes is a useless exercise... when I study I do figures from reference or hands and feet from reference... like 10min each... But mostly I just draw stuff...

>>4399092
Super cute
