What's the best crosshatch for skin?

>>5223640
Contour

This is what I saw in the thumbnail and I'm disappointed to be wrong.

any crit?

>>5223939
Love the colors and the forms on the hair, but I feel like with this kind of volume the hair should cast at least *some* sort of shadow on the face?

>>5223939
Breddy gut, my man! Nice shapes and colors.

I know fundies are weak and I should fix that first, but would you call this art style Moebius-esque? At least the inking style

>>5223946
Could be light source is right on his face lmao

>>5223989
Not really. Moebius uses hatching and line variation.

If you're going for that kind of style, you should practice your hatching, and try to use thicker lines and pay more attention to putting detail in focal points while leaving it out of unimportant or far away objects.

>>5223989
If you want a moebius style I suggest going traditional, digital looks way too sterile. There’s a moebius-esque artist that posts here sometimes and he works both trad and digital but I think the traditional grinding is what got him close.

>>5224015
Not him, but are you sure one of Moebius' traits was line variation?
I always got the impression that if anything one of his defining traits was his use of the same thin line weight in many pieces.

>>5224028
It's possible to do digitally.
check out Cosimo Galluzi, he's an artist that is very heavily inspired by moebius.
His earlier works moreso than what he does now.

>>5223989

This dude is v moebius

>>5224089
goddamn incredible, the density of detail here is amazing

>>5224036
Yes, there is slight variation. It's not all the same line weight for everything.

>>5224096
>>5224089
>>5224036
Geoff Darrow is another Moebius acolyte

Fuck coloring, i hate it

Next drawing

>>5224608
GMI

>>5224608
that spear thing looks like its curving behind her back instead of being in perspective

>>5223939
this is the most obnoxiously twitter thing ive seen all day. what is it with twitter and instagram people where when they try to draw or use makeup to make freckles, it looks like someone sprayed diarrhea on their face?

>>5223939
Tumblr queen-sama....

>>5224651
freckles on girls are qt fuck off

>>5224675
maybe when they are natural and not dotted on like a diarrhea shart with shitty makeup, nice lack of reading comprehension fucko

doodle for an anon

>>5223572
OP is really fucking good

>>5224651
drawing fake freckles? How would you do it then?

>>5224651
mmm is someone cooking crab bisque?

Thoughts?

Some free sketching around to escape the horny
It’s been long since the las time i did something of this character

>>5224670
who?

>>5223939
quite gay but I like it

>>5225042
Colours look flat. Also disgusting.

>>5224994
natural patterns/ sizes/ ratios/ distance from one another/ no orange diarrhea spray to pretty them up/ correct freckle color

It shouldnt look like someones painted japanese doll

>>5225027
why would i want to draw something that is

A. boring and generic subject matter
B.draw and render it in a totally stupid way that is also clearly derivative to tumblr and twitter, the airbrushed red nose the orange spray to pretty up the freckles the stupid pastel and soft tones everywhere, this is flaccid artwork and basically a BJD doll bust

>>5224036
I like the feel.

>>5225626
No need to get so upset dude. I wasn't going for perfect and I understand that shows but hey, at least I'm drawing and having fun.

>>5224651
It is shit. But the hair is fine.

>>5225645
Fuck off. If you don’t want critique, don’t post. NAYRT but that was all harsh but valid. Have you even seen freckles in real life or were you using zoomer fake freckle makeup tutorials as a reference? Try again.

>>5225678
??? I said I agreed with the criticism and that the drawing was by no means perfect. I'ts true, I didn't spend any significant time on the freckles and it shows.

Sad day, going to listen to daft punk all day now

>>5225678
Lol is this the dude that wants >>5223939 to be his gf and now he’s butthurt?

>>5225823
People usually retire they’re regular jobs after 30 years and music/touring is a pretty demanding career especially when you’re that big. Rewarding as well but highly energy draining like all art forms.

>>5225846
Touring sucks ass for both the people on tour and their families back home. I totally understand quitting that shit.

>>5225846
they did zero touring tho

>>5225968
this picture is making my weewee feel funny

>>5225997
Maybe they didn’t always have to be there in those helmets but they did seem to genuinely enjoy people enjoying their music, so I would think they were there most of the time. Also they revealed their faces long ago, and having stand-ins would cheapen their brand.

>>5225428
The amount of detail and the rendering are incredible.

>>5226158
Klinck flexin hard as uzh

What makes my art look boring in general? I want to build up my following alongside my skills but for some reason my art in general seems really boring and I can't exactly tell why. Can I get some help?

watercolors, I also tried to put some silver acrylic on it but it didn't work as good as I hoped

>>5226209
study anatomy and gesture.
Use references.

>>5226209
Lineart is tricky because you don’t really get to work with edge and value. You can imply both with hatching and line weight however. If you are intending to color, you probably don’t need to worry about hatching or texture at this point but lineweight is still a valuable tool. You do have some line variation but it’s almost negligible.

>>5226209
what's supposed to be interesting in a random desing girl standing with a vast nothingness around her?

This took longer than expected. Sketching, inking, and coloring 9 drawings really adds up even when you are trying to shorthand it.

>>5226483
maybe you should be lifting weights instead of running if you can’t carry your wife bro

Gonna try that hatching thing again

>>5226491
Maybe she should lose some weight, she weighs over 100lb now

>>5224089
Obviously his skill is incredible but his work is still ugly. A bit like somebody vomited a pretty picture up on a page

>>5226635
>he can’t fireman carry 100lbs

tableguy, I...

>>5225823
i dont get what people liked about daft punk, oother than 1 or 2 songs everything sounded sort of generic to me? maybe i will give them another listen but in my group of friends i was the only one that didnt like them. why did they get so huge compared to other electronic artists?

>>5226635
Can someone fucking color this, i don’t want to fuck it up again

>>5226658
She would have shat her pants if i fireman carried her. Not that i could lift her off the ground...

>>5226666
I’m with you satan, i tried to listen to daft punk all day. I only lasted about 2hrs. I don’t like their new stuff, but Tron sound track and Homework are good listens

>>5226635
>>5227148
this looks too to be tableguy wtf

>>5226209
it's a very static pose t bh
maybe you could
-add some colors
-background
-draw her in 2 or 3 pt perspective
-give her a more expressive look
-exaggerate her pose more

>>5226268
This is my new phone background. I love it. I will buy the original if you ever sell it.

>>5227148
I fuck up my colors all the time. It's a given at this point for me, but I have a secret to share. You have a scanner now, fool. You don't have to live the I ruined my lineart life. Print your lineart, save the original, work off the printed copy. I usually print two copies, a color test and the actual copy (so you get creative on the test copy then do it for real on the actual copy).

>>5226666
>i don't get why people like things I don't like

do autists really?

It always feels like I'm ruining perfectly appealing lineart by coloring in flat colors

Don't you feel this way sometimes as well?

>>5227605
A rule of thumb for me is that the more detailed the lineart, the simpler the colors can be, while the simpler the lineart the more detailed the colors can be. If you have everything detailed it can become a mess, and if everything's simple it' can be bland. Your lines are fairly simple so it could really benefit from more shading, like on the hair and clothes especially.

>>5227605
She is so cute! Got any blog?

Barely anyone talks about color theory here, rendering, values or grinds color picking. it's why some of you feel the chasm between your knowledge of lineart and color

>>5227638
ok

>>5227626
ty for this, i never thought about it that way

>>5227522
that's nice to hear, I haven't tried selling anything before but at least have a higher res version (idk what your phone screen size is)

>>5225053
Even your monsters have coom hips.

doggies

>>5228411
Nice

>>5223572
backgrounds are hard what do i do

>>5228613
Life studies, master studies. It’s a bad habit to finish figures first and then add a background. It’s possible but compositions usually turn out better with major value decisions for the piece as a whole decided in thumbnail stage.

im doin currently a series of this shiat, besides studies.. i finally have to start with hands... and so much more, help me and can someone colour this with flat colours cause i suck with colourz

>>5228613
find a cool picture, or take one yourself, insert a figure into it (it's not hard, just make sure the size is correct, take lighting into account)
draw that

>>5228656
holy shit thank you anon

>>5228630
Blog?

>>5228613

God i want to squish her head like a grape so bad.

>>5224729
I like it, the Anon you draw this for is lucky.

Sky Baron is here to nut helium into your fucking sister and turn her into a balloon.

>>5228785

Fixed

>>5228782
drew this for* Oops, haha.

stuff

>>5225645

Why are you talking back when you asked be to critiqued on 4chan of all places... Also the shading on your nose is fucked, i reccomend pushing back the darkest hue of orange thats on it away from the bridge so that it becomes less of a focal point and annoyance. Also I think your art style is basic but that's just my opinion and not really a critique.

>>5228802

God i hate it when people ruin a perfecly good work with those shitty W or @ ears. Nice Starman tho.

>>5228815
Thanks

>>5223989
Ok this is probably closer to Makoto Kobayashi than Moebius but I feel like I am getting the style better(?). A mic between pointilism and more "traditional" hatching would work best. Inked this only with a cheap 0.5 pen so I couldn't do much about lineweight

>>5228802
hey its you again! top notch shit as usual, keep going

>>5228825
You can make thicker lines with a thin pen but you can’t make thinner lines, having only one pen isn’t an excuse for lack of lineweight variation

>>5228729
number one thing not to forget is perspective, one point is enough usually

>>5227547
in music there is usually some quantifiable or explainable traits to what you like. even in electronic music there are a lot of ways to describe what it is that you like about a certain song even though electronic music tends to sound samey to untrained listeners. based retard.

>>5227148
yeah daft punks best work IMO was the tron album which sounds fucked up to say since thats a commissioned project for a film. there are a few tracks from that i have used in games with custom soundtracks.

>>5227148
Added half a background, danbo titan

>>5227160
U wot

>>5227524
Ah yea good idea. I was coloring digitally, but the colors are usually worse than if i just tried it with markers because i can’t replicate the same palette

>>5228917
I just discovered Jack off Jill today, so long daft punk hello screamo 90’s girl.

noice

Was doodling high in bed, I wanted to create a lively anthropomorphic character but I feel like it looks like an edgy tumblr furry oc

>>5229394
It does but it has soul and I like it anyway.

>>5228411
love the huge variety in base shapes

>>5229221
I love that AoT interpretation.
The emphasis of the boxcutter blades was a really good choice.
The cardboard titan is also great too. There's something about inanimate objects coming to life as horrific monsters that just works.

>>5229221
/beg/ here, any good resources you used to get into inks and copics? you stuff always looked good and I'm curious to how you learned

>>5229221
My shoulder hurts, but atleast it is done

Time to do 25 days of figuary tomorrow...

>>5229530
Thanks man! cool gundam btw

>>5229543
Find some artists you like and try to copy them. I like Creon and Andrew mar and murata. Trad has a weird learning curve. Since you never ‘undo’, I recommend trying something new on every drawing to tune your techniques. If you are repeating the same colors, strokes, patterns, you are robbing yourself of the learning experience. Don’t get too attached to any drawing. If you mess it up, be excited to draw it again and alter your techniques.

>>5228802

So good

this was referenced

Thank you to the anons who helped me out with this one. I just finished it up. I'm thinking some more practice with buildings and perspective would help for next time. I managed to avoid both things my whole life and now it's biting me in the ass.

>>5229646
I'm obsessed with this. The pose, the details, the "titan". I love it all.

Seems like the quality of art on /ic/ improved a lot over the past few years. Wonder what happened.

>>5229920
We just drew :^)

>>5229920
last month people were saying this general really went to shit and is /beg/ 2.0 lol

>>5226483
what kind of absolute moron jogs with a mask on? holy shit...

>>5230233
You will get in big trouble if you jog without one here. What is the free land you’re from called?

Working on this atm.

>>5230267
Well here in Arkansas I get to go in Dollar Generals, Supermarkets, and Gas Stations without wearing one. If anyone told me to put a mask on in the out doors I’d call them a fucking retard and tell them to kiss my ass, the fuck is wrong with you cucks?

>>5223671
really cool, but the end of the spear behind the character throws me off, i think the viewer shouldnt be able to see it, otherwise it feels like it's bent.

>>5230287
Very cool.

>>5230317
Man what the fuck? I’m in Texas.

>>5229646
Thanks for the advice, fren

quick dan last night

i drew buildings

>>5230740
holy fuck who gives a shit you retard, why did you post this here

>>5224189
>Fuck coloring
I know that feel

>>5230797
It’s alternative style thread. His style is alternative to good.

I used a bit of photomanipulation to make the forest in the background for this one. What do you guys think? Is it too obvious? The creek, rocks and grass were all done from scratch. The context for this piece by the way is that it's supposed to be a recruiting advertisement for a mountaineer regiment, so I'm attempting to make a picture you'd see on a poster or in a newspaper. It's supposed to look cool and stoic.

>>5229646
those legs make my heart do the doki doki

I drew this raccoon guy, I was trying to go for that clean ligne claire style you see in European comics. i'm not sure about the black shadow shapes, any critique is appreciated

>>5228062
Been seeing a lot of coom art lately, my bad

>>5230937
cool

>>5231157
That sword ain’t gonna fit in that scabbard

>>5229530
Progress. Feeling like I've been getting faster lately, but I still have an issue with making decisions in a timely manner.
I often hesitate or go back and redo stuff.
Like here I was originally going with heavier line weights, but now I'm going back to doing lighter ones.

>>5231370
Looks good, thinner lines are definitely better. I'd find a slightly different angle to do the raised arm because the silhouette really is not clear.

Bloodroots fanart. Still a WIP

>>5231389
Yeah I was thinking that might be an issue for anyone not already familiar with the design.
I'll make note to do that.

>>5230797

Why are y'all so mean to Brian? He seems inoffensive enough.

>>5228411
anon I love you give your twitter

>>5231436
>he wasn’t here during the era of Jimmy, Brian, and Illustrat constantly shitting up the board

I envy you.

>>5231157
Got a blog?

>>5231501
but now he just posts his work and crits people, all those other guys killed themselves or became junkies.

>>5226483
the expressions are pretty nice

>>5231510
Guess he was enough of a shitter for people to still hate him

>>5231533
there are maybe 2-3 schizos who follow him around the board replying to everything he posts. little do they know that now they have become the true shitters

>>5231502
Here you go.

https://twitter.com/WhiteBox_Studio

>>5231166
Yeah. Thinking of either removing it or making it smaller giving, giving him a secondary one-handed sword or axe.

>>5231501
No, I was here. And Illastrat still does it. I just don't see the point of continuing to punish him when he's doing the right thing now.

>>5231664
you could do a scabbard that's open on top like berserk

>>5226483
this actually made me giggle, love your style anon.

>>5228341
i really like the colors.

Chunners tonite

>>5231392
Looks neat so far

>>5230937
cute lil guy

>>5232164
Can someone explain to me why this looks so muddy? I've been watching this guy's work in these threads and I always try to figure it out, but I don't think I have the eye for it yet. Is it some kind of problem with the values not being correct? A lack of sufficient contrast? Edge control issues? Too thick a brush? There's a lot of potential here though; not trying to shit on you.

>>5232180
Probably his strokes being visible. Looks like they're using a small flat brush.

>>5232185
I think that might be a contributing factor, but I've seen work with large strokes that avoid this. I made it grayscale in photoshop and I think it might be that the value range of each component part is very small apart from highlights.

>>5232186
>>5232164
I think the main issue is just that the shapes are very unclear, so they do not describe the forms are and the viewers will see just the brushstrokes rather than the object the brushstrokes are protraying. I think that if you want to work in a style with very visible brushstrokes, you may want to plan out what your light/shadow shapes would look like beforehand, or just have some idea of what they should look like.

>>5232220
Oh fuck that's a substantial improvement. Good eye! Thank you for taking the time to answer and make modifications.

>>5232220
Yikes lol

>>5232083
Blog?

>>5232220

Ready to start drawing the Pokemans?

the vast majority of my work is color carving because im mindblind and i tend to "invert" lineart and get confused.

>>5232220
>>5232186
>>5232185
>>5232180
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I’ve always been struggling with the mud, especially with digital work. I think the issues are my tablet monitor is always more saturated than other screens, and I can’t seem to get 100% opaque strokes. I’ve also still got a lot of work at choosing good shadow/light shapes! The last coupla street fighter drawings were kinda quick (for me) exercises in anatomy from imagination, I had refs for the costumes. I’ve been grinding a quicker workflow lately.

Can I get some help on this?
I can't understand why the foreshortening on the arm holding the sword looks so weird.

>>5233409
Upper arm and forearm are close to the same length, in your pic the forearm is either longer or broken and bent opposite. Also elbow, forearm , and hand should have some overlap. Sword is a whole other animal, but simpler to put in perspective. Just remember to consider how she’s holding it from other angles.

>>5232760
I'd suggest moving the ringfinger that's covering up the cig. Makes it easier to read.

>>5233496
How about you move your ring finger up your asshole?

>>5233496
>>5233549
LOL that wasn't me. i agree, will do!

>>5233409
Doesn't necessarily look weird, just not all that foreshortened. She's kind of reaching more back than out towards us. It may be best to do the pose and yourself and take a photo. Even understanding the general principle behind it, it's really hard to imagine extremely foreshortened poses unless you've practiced the specific pose, I don't think my redraw did it justice. Though you might be able to fudge it if you draw abstractly enough.

>>5226483
Happy Friday

>>5230233
Pretty much required, one time I was walking back home from my run and this old lady scolded me for not wearing a mask a block from my own house. So now i just wear it all the time. It makes my glasses fog, i look like a major dork.

Tell her to go fuck herself.

>>5231392
Done. Whatchall think?

>>5232167
Thanks anon, luv u

>>5234617
Still looks a bit messy because of little irregularities in the shadow shapes and lines (look at the closer hand for example) and I'm not too into the objects in the foreground.
But I really like how it looks, especially the colors and the top bg.

Faggot

Feel like I fucked up composition big time, how is the storytelling here?

in b4 everyone tells me the original sketch is better

>>5235804
its actually not better
the sketch is more lopsided in the breasts and thighs
theres a bit of that in the lineart but you made it much more symmetrical
theres just less detail on the lines

>>5235804
It is but not necessarily because you chose the wrong marks, the soft values add a charm and the ink feels comparatively sterile. Should be great when you color it.

>>5235290
i wish him good health and success

>>5235290
even though you draw cringe furry art, you're probably better than 90% of this board. leave now

your lineworks are always my favorite

Klinck I will suck your actual dick for your finished lineart brush settings. Like flow and behavior.

>>5228917
Daft Punk's unique contribution was removing the subcultural associations from dance music broadly. Before them House music was too black, Disco was too gay, Techno was too german, 70s rock was too childish, etc. I

n addition to this, the only really identifiably french thing about Daft Punk is that they're conceptual. Human identity (I'm black, gay, raver, rocker, so on) has been completely removed and in place are machines.

just finished this, i wanted to play around with harsh shadows

there's so many artists i want to draw like how could anyone possibly choose one? or even a handful

>>5237594
try em all and make your own style as a result.

>>5237599
>>5237594
wanna add to that, you should also try to isolate and identify what you like about certain artists.

Klinck upload the vid of him sucking your dick to mediafire too pls

>>5237450
really awesome!

>>5236020
The idea is cute but it really seems like a regression compared to even your last chunli drawing, it seems lazy... you should try doing a couple studies or maybe just draw her again from a reference

Either way I love all your stuff and I think it would be really worthwhile to try this same idea again

>>5238033
yes this one sucked sorry
what about this

>>5238042
Eyes look a little crazy, but better.

>>5238042
way better! great job

>>5233839
aaaa this is so cute

>>5238042
This is actually super cute..

Looking for critique on the anatomy and the relationship with the environment/floor

>>5238042
Oh fuck has asukafag returned? I love seeing your progress bro. Keep it up.

How many years is it gonna take to catch up to the level of these dudes? Pic related is my last attempt at painting before I got frustrated and said fuck it

>>5236310
I think it would look better without the solid black in the cloud of colour

>>5238341
As a /beg/ I think the anatomy looks fine. The super mutated arm looks like it's elbow joint is inverted but while the muscles look warped it looks acurate. Hand covering her face looks a little big to be a normal hand.

I think the composition works. Despite the blood dripping from her body and the monstrous arms my eye is automatically drawn to her face. She's looking right at me.

2 years with consistent and knowledgeable practice. A few hours a day every day with the occasional day off to reflect and unwind.

Sooner if you grind like a madman.

>>5238357
>Setting the bar this low
oof.

>>5238389
Do you mean the angle the blood is pooling at?
The arm is meant to be rapidly coming into existence, maybe more implication of movement was needed?
Either way, I didn't reference for the made up third arm and I think it shows. Any artists who draw warped anatomy you can think of?

>>5238403
>The arm is meant to be rapidly coming into existence,
>maybe more implication of movement was needed?

Definitely. I wouldn't have gotten that from pic. Maybe if there was a bit of a drag/crash mark on the wall leading up to where the extra hand was placed?

>Do you mean the angle the blood is pooling at?
Oh I wasn't saying the blood was an issue. Just remarking that despite everything that was going on in the page her face was still the focal point.

>>5238392
I don't see how that's a low bar. Their art is way more appealing and finished looking than anything I've ever made

>>5236763
1st time attempting to finish a piece. My workflow is a mess..

trying to draw something and it is looking like shit... i know it is very sketchy but if anyone can see where it is going wrong and point it out I would really appreciate it.

>>5229426
aww thank you
>>5237365
Thank you anon! my blog is big.nika on instagram but I haven't been posting much :')

>>5239149

This looks really cool, love the perspective, hands and figures look well drawn and stuff.

Is the girl at the left leaning on something? If not the balance of the pose maybe looks off, unrealistic. Other than that I'm not better than you skill-wise so the amount of stuff I can catch is limited.

>>5238442
All good points, someone else did a draw over.
I think I tend to think of movement as an after thought and it hurts my work. I'll try and do some more prep for it in the future.
That makes a lot more sense, thanks dude. This is actually the first time I think I've ever used the rule of 3rds. I know it but I just never think about it until I'm half way through the piece.

Don't know if this belongs here.
I drew a gal.
Any critiques would be appreciated.

>>5239366

Character design is nice. It does however look like a sort of bland drawing. Think its the pose + colours/lighting + linework. I think you can push it more to make things more dynamic and eye-catching.

>>5239366
Yooo i really like the design, blog?

>>5239698
Thanks. I guess I'll have to study a bit more
>>5239792
@verytubtub on twitter.
I don't have much there though.
The most likes I get are 2 or something...

>>5238042

This is unironically good. You've come a long way, asukafag. I'm unironically proud of you. Keep going.

How do I get better at digital painting? I feel like I take too long in going over my lines and still keeping it look like my drawing...

>>5240051
>how
read sticky

/ic/ has rotted my brain. Here's a shitty phone doodle

>>5240107
got anymore stuff he's fucking cute

>>5240107
Blog? Or alternatively the context for that pic?

>>5240171
>>5240183
thank you<3 I don't have a blog for nsfw stuff but I might make one in the future. For now I just post nsfw stuff here. Sfw is xztzl on twitter (yea it's me haha surprise!).
>context for that pic
man idk lol, he's being obliterated but is getting paid for it.

>>5240222
Thank you anon and nice triple digits.
>he's being obliterated but is getting paid for it
hot

im going to sleep
what to put in top right corner?

>>5240557
A hand with another plate of food in it.

>>5223572
doubt anyone remembers the last time I posted this fellow but here's a redo of a character design I made, I wanted to give him a less wacky color scheme and use a more dynamic pose to express his personality better.

any thoughts?

>>5241360

>>5241381
you made it worse

>>5241381
lol, what?

>>5241381
>that subtle swastika pose
I see what you did there, anon. Well meme’d.

>>5241494
No it's not, he didn't even do it right.

>>5241517
Nah. He worked with what he had and it was based as fuck.

>>5239366
good enough to leave /ic/
There's nothing more for you to learn here.

>>5230740
good, how long it take?

>>5241381
Finally....kino

>>5241829
What a mess. Are those supposed to be boobs?

Does this perspective even look plausible? Does the back guy look 8 ft tall or anything? Going for a similar effect as the FMA thumbnail but it's tough

>>5242277
looks good to me.
Also best FMA ed, one of the greatest of all time.

>>5242291
Thanks. Probably just gonna fiddle with it a bit more.
Also yeah, great memorable ending.

>>5241360
Hey man, I hope you don't mind I redraw your chara! Looking at him made me think of a few things that might be useful to you as well. I tried to capture the feel of your pose and din't bring out a ref, so the legs and gesture are a bit of a mess, sorry!

When designing a character you wanna have clarity and understanding of /why/ you're making the decisions you're making. Especially with more stylised characters you don't wanna be putting details where they're not necessary. All the belt loops for example! Totally fine in a realistic character, but you wanna think about the hierarchy of elements. That also applies to size, proportion and variation. When designing a character you don't want all your elements to be roughly the same size, or the design becomes less dynamic. Don't be afraid to exaggerate in more than just the anatomy! Create a variation between large dominant shapes, medium ones and smaller ones. That's what I had in mind when I resized his hair tuft, compared to the hat and feather for example.

Make it make sense and use reference where you can! What /does/ this pose convey? The effect makes me think surprise, and he's pointing forward but his eye is looking downward. Is he running? Jumping? I can't tell! The motion of his clothes doesn't tell me much! Use the elements available to you to create clarity for your viewer and push the gesture. Mind you I'm not very good at this yet either so the pose I went for certainly isn't perfect.

Clearly define /who/ a character is when you're designing them. Are they the bad guy? A good guy? Based on his overal shape I'd think he's a good guy, but his colour scheme and the many edges in his design make me think he's a villain. I tried to push him in more of a young, excited and brave anti-hero role. I kept the edges on the cape and gave him a more triangular overall shape, while exaggerating the hair tuft and feather, which are soft materials and imply a softness as well. Design with intent!

How's this?

I accidentally used up all my pens drawing OCs. I guess I’ll just make a pile of sketches to ink later this week.

>>5242454
He's goofy anti-hero so you nailed that part, my drawings are too whimsical in a sense that there's no method to the madness so I go overboard which is fine for the most part but like you said I gotta factor in clarity when trying to make brand new characters. Thinkin about it now a lot of the problems I have stem from bein heavily derivative of anime design philosophies and habits so I'll work on that too

Very solid advice, I thank you!

>>5242739
Ok

>>5239316
thanks, I agree the pose is weird

slowly figuring it out, I think I it looks better now and if it ends up not working I think I'll just crop that section out

>>5234617
Blog?

>>5242686
really nice I think you got have the forms down and they look appealing! would love to see more

>>5242739
Neat dude, but you’re getting stale. What do you feel are your weak points? Where are you progressing to?

>>5242739
Peach motocross

>>5242829
Ehh trying to make something more dynamic instead of just standing character portrait >>5242830

Going to make madmax mariokart peach later. I think that would be cool.

>>5242686
Flats are done and I hate that it kinda looks like that Swedish twink lol. Are the four fingers okay or should I add a fifth one?

>>5242776
I think this works way better... the bottom left was just very weird

>>5225428
very cool! I'd even say I'm inspired.

No new bread yet?
