reposting. Any tips for digital coloring?

>>6826775
Tired as hell of churning out full colour artworks for snail paced gains in followers and skill

I drew more fat tiddies yesterday. I am satisfied.

>>6826823
Nice, and it really depends on the look you're going for

>>6827097
I feel ya bro. But for me I lose followers whenever I post. I'm so fed up it's unreal.

>feast and famine between no nsfw art and no sfw art
atleast im free from posting on social media

Only perverts draw sexual art!

>>6827465
thats me!

>>6827395
Probably pornbots getting deleted tbf

>>6827395
>>6827485

More than 50% of twitter's traffic are bots and it became especially bad since elon took over.

>>6827192
She looks cute! I actually did the exact same thing.

Are there any recommended guides for learning rendering?

>>6827485
I have probably lost 100 followers but in pretty sure they were all bots. I don't post about politics or any shit like that so I can't be turning people off

I tried to do quick sketches and slapped high heels on them since I wanted to learn how to draw em. Holy shit they are hard, especially in perspective. Is there a method to build them or something?
I noticed even very minor stuff can make them look bad and incorrect.

>>6827416
You infest too many boards, 70. I just want peace.

I love drawing them in the toilet but I don't know whether to use gesture and if it's really necessary

>>6827097
Looks good anon

>>6827838
seconding、im completely filtered by rendering and want to at least be able to do skin at a basic level without just spraying airbrush aimlessly

>>6828092
I'm still trying to figure out a good way to construct heels and feet that doesn't take forever
>ask an experienced artist that I like for tips
>lol idk
Thanks

Freehand oil painting to all that say I can't draw.

>>6828209
i havent even been on 4chan that much lately

>>6827838
Jesus that looks like rotting flesh wound on her back lmao
I decided to skip coloring and try to make something out of it

Is there a way or a working formula to add weights on my characters? My problem is that whenever I draw from human pose photo reference, they look exactly like what I'm seeing. I could draw pin ups and natural, relaxed standing poses just fine but whenever I tried to exaggerate the proportion to make my subject more fun and pose the characters in gravure and sexual position, it looks wonky and doesn't look like the on-sheet model. Which part of fundies should I read more on to fix this error?

>>6828417
nice perspective anon

maybe add a small "front" view so the viewer can see her expression too

hi

>>6828419
Get a reference of art style you want to go towards to and while drawing from picture look over to the stylized art and examine how the artist of your choice drew that specific leg, arm, face area.

>>6827192
Shes cute! I did the same thing

>>6828727
You understand form very well but this brainlet tier lack of the upper part of the head is uncanny and a major turn off, like if somebody bonked her on the head

>>6828734
It's Neanderthal

>>6828391
Why are women such fucking attention whores? Is it that hard for you to leave social media alone?

>>6827192
Is that nuvelma?

>>6828727
>>6828734
>tfw no brainlet gf

>>6828893
are you dumb

>>6828923
Why living If you cant have her...?

>>6829046
Go post more pictures of yourself for attention on 4chan again, niggerbitch. You are cancer and your art is shit.

why are women like this, though?

>>6828351
Even with models its kinda hard because you cannot connect two models in CSP. I realzied that its like with hands, that its very noticeable when something isn't "right" with them. The models are fine, but my eye is immediately noticing what is not exactly right with them. I think I'll ask the beg thread, cuz this stuff is more fundamental oriented.

>>6827838
>>6828338
A lot of it is trial and error until you cement on a technique that suits you. I like Synecdoche's method, its simple and can be expanded upon.
>>6828351
>>6828092
I usually start with the ball of the foot and build the shoe around it.

>>6829273
Thanks.
Eh fuck it might as well as post here. I tried to construct it on the left, but this takes a long time. Again Idk if I'm correct in there but I can immediately see the perspective being fucked with models as you can see in the middle I redlined it after tracing. Aligning and correcting them takes up as much time as constructing from scratch. Maybe the best is a middle ground of using the model as ref while consctucting, idk.

>>6829247
I think generally this is a much better place to get critiques and advice. No one will mind except maybe crabs that will be an issue anywhere
>>6829273
Awesome, I will definitely try this approach, thanks for sharing! That's the ankle btw, the ball of the foot is right behind the toes on the sole of the foot

>>6829332
Nta I'm>>6829336
But I would def recommend that you basically draw the foot first and then kinda modify it into a shoe before you added details. Don't try to draw the shoe separately from the foot. Sorry if you're already doing that

>>6829273
The rendering here looks really useful and I want to try it、what does the arrow triangle thing on the left represent? light light、light dark、dark dark、i dont get what thats trying to say

>>6829273
also do you have an image for the front side?

i cant work on this anymore bros, onto the next art.

>>6829842
What did you do to my boy bugs m8

>>6829853
bro buggs has always been a tease and dressing up.
elmer fudd is gonna be hunting wabbit and end up with bussy. No doubt

trying out shiny material

>>6830682
Love your stuff dude

>>6830683
Thnx

>>6829853
Bugs finally came out
It was obvious desu

>>6828417
Did you nuke your socials again?

>>6831307
No I'm still on pixiv twitters dead as fuck though, honestly most of the shit I make I already post here and I like the interactions more. The socials are just a gallery that I hate looking at every couple of weeks, I'm still at a very early beg stage so it's easy to hate my own art. You should seriously try the gentle/ giantess threads on d. there's a few larger artists that post like lewdz and raps. They're more fun than twitter anyway plus they have writers that make stuff too, they could always use more content creators

>>6830416
Freedom toons?

>>6830416
snickerdoodle r34 when

>>6831333
Nah, posting almost anywhere on 4chan is insufferable. Tons of hate, almost no love. And I don't really do gentle unfortunately
I don't care if you're beg, I want fellow sizefag artists friends

>>6831371
Gotcha I dont really interact much on social but there's a discord for size content creation that's got a few thousand. Some artists mostly writers I got a few friends there gg/S7fk6va
You'd be more than welcome to post your stuff, it's night and day between here and there they also don't tolerate crabbing or shit talking if that's a concern

>>6831413
Aight, I'll DM you on Pixiv

perspective on sword is weird, doesn't match handle

Monthly pic the monthly supporters nominated and voted the girls in

Before I commit does the perspective and anatomy look ok? This is a weird angle, I'll finish the extremities and details but I just need to know if anything is fundamentally broken

Done

just random sketch trying the pencil brush

>>6832094
all looks good but the head doesnt work、sit up in the same pose as your sketch and turn your head like that、better to just turn the head a bit more frontways and turn the eyes

>>6832040

looks good

>>6832563
Thank you!

>>6832563
Thanks!

>>6831737
I would like to hear an explanation of this character.

mucho sexo
i had my doubts about the color balance, maybe to much blues. I tried to leave the focus on the main character and try to make interesting shapes with the background, i think.

>>6833021
How do you learn faces?

>>6833021
Nice

I feel like I should desaturate my backgrounds a bit, but I love the vibrant colors. So many artists (especially in /ic/) seem to think washed out colors = realistic and good. If we wanted realism, we wouldn't become artists imo.

People say Firez 'made it' and maybe he did, but his work just looks absurd to me. Like he can't decide between old fashioned pinups and anime/vidya style faces and the results are somewhat grotesque, despite his technical skill. Firez if you're here, can you comment?

>>6833008
Here's an info dump. The text is awful, really jumbled how I squeezed it in there.

But for realz, I just combined two neat drawings I saw.

>>6831980
You’re a dumb fucking retard piece of shit.

>>6833026
By looking at them and drawing them. Stop asking dumb questions jfc.
If you are asking how to stylize faces the same way this anon does, the answer is copy him. Just keep in mind you won't be able to do so in an effective way unless you know how fundamentals work first.

tl;dr Practice drawing and learn your fundies.

>>6826775
how can i draw like op pic

>>6833454
Do a lot figure drawing and consciously compare your figures to artists that you like

>>6833021
What made you decide to start a patreon so late? I'm curious. Are you mot doing comic stuff anymore?

how does one achieve the look of the line art in pic related? i must know!

>>6829422
The "front side" is the fully rendered example in the pic. To elaborate a bit, the triangle, and what Synecdoche himself said, is that light can be surrounded by shadows and even brighter areas, and shadows can be surround by lights or even darker shadows. Lights and shadows are 3 dimensional and continuous, and in some ways exist in one another. Experiment there are many ways to render

vomited this
i suppose you could call it a lewd art cherry pop
>hiding hands
i know the primary purpose here was to pull myself out of a braindemon hellhole and fucking with hands would've been directly counterproductive to that end

I recently completed this picture

Thanks anon! Glad you like it!

>>6828259
you and KJG

>>6835498
Impressive! Are you a fan of vkorg/ganto18?

>>6835686
No, I've never heard of those artists before. What do they do?

>>6830682
how can you be this good and not know what to do with the collarbone

>>6830682
perspective is a bit off. also in this position the elbows should be pointing upward.

>>6836040
everything was fine with the perspective, its just strange that the middle of her ribcage starts over her armpit

>>6836046
>everything was fine with the perspective

>>6836108
Learn how perspective works, state of zoomers filled nu /ic.

>>6836108
are you aware that the human has joints that can move and therefore not everything has to be in symmetrical alignment?

>>6836108
you should not be redlining, permabeg status if you think all poses come from 1 vp

>>6836040
This is correct, though. After seeing the redline, I can't stop noticing the tiny weird arms in the original.

>>6836208
Double post but just so nobody cries, the face and rendering are fantastic.

>>6827097
Thats cause youre doing it for the wrong reason like a retard. If you just want to make coombux then use ai. Actual gmi artists do what they want, expecting no followers or anything in return.

>>6827487
elon got rid of alot of bots retard, you got it reversed. thats why people bitched about their sub's dropping and not growing as much. I bet youre one of the dumb fucks that says your feed is somehow worse too right?

I've been into shibari lately

>>6827097
>>6827395
Please tell me you are using sites other than Twitter. I haven't seen any drop in my Pixiv or DA. They just growing. Twitter is way less active

>>6836531
Holy fucking shit

>>6836547
interesting use of color, blue and orange are a good combo and you did it well here. It can be hard to pull off color wheel opposites ( think of how garish red and green can be.)

one of the things that i don't really like about this piece is the proportions. The waist is way too long and narrow, and makes her look strange. Her neck also has the same issue. It's almost like you draw from the head down to the bottom of the page without any sort of outline to start off with. But at the same time, theres a curve to the body so i don't know if that's the case here. the elbow is also way too high. think about where your elbow sits if you were to press it against your body. Women may have bigger hips but that doesn't mean that their proportions have unnaturally squahsed their arms like this.

also on her neck, her neck almost looks hollowed out because of , i assume, lack of knowledge on the neck muscles. Women also have an adam's apple cartilage, but its less prominant. But it doesn't mean it's concave.

overall she looks like a plastic figure with a picture taken from the side with a bright camera. But sometimes the shading is inconsistent which gives the impression you did pillow shading instead of an actual light source.

it might be helpful to also flip the canvas while drawing clip studio lets you do that and i have it on a keybinding find out what your art program’s is and do the same.

>>6836531
i love the expression makes her seem like shes enjoying this.

looks like you have a background in either markers ( copic or posca ) or acrylics.

i like the use of the gradient maps, i assume you used those. It looks really nice here.

good light source

the ropes are almost inconsistent with the light source though. Unless they are supposed to be darker, but i see they are light on the body. Just keep that in mind that not just the character and the things on her are affected by light. Without this it starts to lack depth.

effective composition and focal point which is the face. I can tell this piece is not just about the shibari but the enjoyment of the woman from it. Looks with this description almost like an artwork form manifestation of your interest in shibari

is she supposed to have a penis? If not, the flowers for some reason over the gentials almost looks like its covering a speaky penis because of the orange colored leaves. There’s a lot going on with the rope, skin and flowers there so it looks almost phallic. (flaccid though.)

hints of greens with oranges browns and yellows makes it seem very earthy.

you too are also suffering from making the neck and torso too long. You should also try in real life to tuck your elbows to your body and see where they are. Of course, foreshortening etc will change this but here she looks off.

I also don’t like the light on the face though. I enjoy the focal point of the light ON the face but i dont like how oyu have rendered it. Looks like she has some dents in her face, the cheekbones on the outer sides of the face read fine but on towards the cheeks towards the nose.

>>6834153
right now the composition is sort of imbalanced, and i think it would be dumb to make it perfectly straight, so i encourage you to tilt this even further and make her pose more exaggerated that she is cocking her hip to the side. This kind of pose would also give the impression of the weight of her breasts if you made her breasts dangle in the direction of gravity relative to the pose.

you could also tilting the camera too after your done to get an artsy look to the camera shot. But that's subjective.

I can't tell if she is supposed to be transparent like jelly, water, or a ghost. Even if you dont know hwo to render materials, try it so we can critique it. The background color blends with the character. while the character can stand out because of the values try just adding some sort of background or something that compliments the character instead of making her blend in. some contrast or subtle variations in color could help define the character and make it pop.

also some areas could benefit from cleaner, more defined lines to clarify the form and details. the piece lacks distinct lighting and shadow. Adding a light source and incorporating shadows could provide the piece with a sense of depth and three-dimensionality as well. On that note also if she had a material to her, like transparency or water, or jelly, try to imagine how that would look.

that being said yeah i don't know what im supposed to be feeling from this piece. I would like to see mainly a pose that would emphasize the weight of her boobs and the affect gravity has on them i think that's what this piece would benefit from mostly.

>>6833021

while you have a great sense of values and a light source in this i feel like some use of color balance would really benefit this piece. try making places in the shadow a cooler color, leaning towards purple or indigo. it would also compliment the background of the night sky but be careful to not make it lean too much towards that color because then it will detract readability.

i like the eyes. I think you did a good job with the blues and teals for the cave setting. When i think of caves i think of glowing things so maybe that would have added to the feeling of the piece. also those crystals look they are shaded like rocks more than they are shaded like cystals. A little shimmer to them and to the crown in the background would benefit this!

I enjoy that this piece has a background, which lots of people neglect to do so you are already up there more than most when it comes to adding a story to your artwork i will applaud you for that! i like how there is a sense of the water reflecting back onto her skin. Perhaps try to add caustics ( pic related ) Caustics are patterns of light that you can see when light passes through a transparent, wavy surface, such as water, and gets focused on another surface. they are on the bottom of a pool or reflections. I usually think of them when i think of caves with bodies of water. wouldn't have to be too intense. it would have added to the overall feeling and setting though. it can add a layer of realism and depth to the piece and help support the idea shes in water thats being lit by the moonlight on a dark night.

good perspective. hand is a bit weird but, this piece seems to be quite ambitious so ill give it a pass.

>>6831480
wait which cookie is this? this is from cookie run right?

>>6836108
Jesus Christ I just got trolled, well done I'm mad

>>6836040
She's hyperextending her elbows. Women's ulnas can go farther back than men's, it actually helps to make their arms look more feminine. Your pose is worse.

>>6831973

i think the main big take away here is that this does not look finished at all. this looks very rough and to be in a very early stage. this looks honestly very blurry in a way that is hard to read whats going on. clean up the lines and colors and make it more recognizable i think. Also make sure that your stylizing is purposeful. the thigh on the right has a sharp indent in it. i dont even know what to say, her hip is just popping out of her like a doll. Even a doll wouldnt move like that. Try using a reference either with blender or a pose app. I can get you a link for a 3d model i use on blender for reference if i dont forget.

i think loose brushwork can work well, and be expressive while still being rough, but it doesn't really add anything here. it really just screams "i dont know what im doing and i couldnt bother to finish this"
while i think the composition is trying to be dynamic i cant help but notice that the pose is going off of the edge of the page almost. Her ass is nearly touching the canvas. and it doesn't look intentional in any way, as this hip is not coming towards the camera in a forshortened fashion.

it took me someone else's comment to even realize she was holding a sword. i mean it adds a sense of story but the pose does not support her holding it at all. Look at references theres bound to be one on deviant art. the bacgkround definitely does nto help with the reabaility when there is a myserious line on the top left of the page.
also why is her hand going through her sword?

While the colors are striking, and ill give you that the pose is at least readable in the form of a thumbnail, the color choices could be more harmonious or provide more information about the scene or character's mood, or something. Anything.

also its hard to tell if she is a demon, tiefling, or what. It's so blurry. There is a fantasy element in the character design but you should probably develop it more.

>>6833091
im a bit peeved that you are advertising your patreon on an art critique board. Makes me think you want as much attention as gains goblin, ngl. You dont deserve a crit just for that alone.

>>6833086
love the colors a lot! rendering is smooth. kinda wish that her hair had "color bounce" or indirect color bounce. i dont know the exact term for it. maybe its called diffusion? I've noticed in real life it can be so much more intense than we give it credit. I once wondered why my shirt looked pink in the car, and realized it was because of my bag reflecting onto me from the passenger's seat.

Her skin, being a light blue, would have a perfect purpley hue to it i think it would look amazing if you did that around the shoulders. But look into it. its when light reflects off surfaces and illuminates other surfaces indirectly. but yeah the use of cool colors like blues and purples along with the contrast of the warm red hair is eye-catching. i like it.
The lin.,e art is clean and precise, contributing to the polished look, i think the best parts are the boobs and the face. the anatomy is prtty sexy too. good job.

I think this would benefit from a background even if it was simple but make sure not to make it too distracting. If you dont come back to this piece jsut take it to the next one.

>>6830682

loving the dynamic pose and the wonderful values here. there's so much depth and energy here. it gives a sense of action, motion, and story. i can almost feel her struggle. Well done. she looks successfully 3d, and i love what you did with the texture which is what you said you were trying out i think you did a good job. The excessive glossiness makes it feel sweaty almost, it's the perfect amount. Sometiems, people draw latex too detailed. This one is just... -mwah- chefs kiss <3

i will say though that the absence of a background leaves the character floating in space but i can tell that there is a character who is holding her. a defined shadow, een wit this cut off composition, and the sahdow leaning more towards the right of the art, could give a 'you can barely see it' feeling where you would see her captor just in the form of shadow. it would add some nice story.

in terms of anatomy, The distant hand looks disproportionately small compared to the rest of the body. the collarbone is not well defined, as in a pose like this the character's shoulders are engaged and the collarbones would be quite prominent and would add tot the pose realism. i would also make it so that if you were trhying to make her hyperextend her elbows, make the other one hyper extend too . Additionally, the creases and contours around the elbow joint should be more pronounced to add realism of the hyperextension. the arms seem too thin, and lack muscle definition or seem to lack any fat or just boney structure. her muscles would be more tensed and more visible on her arms there too. But take it all with a grain of salt with what you decide to do because if you take all my advice TOO literally you'll end up with a she-hulk bara girl lmao

>>6836886
NTA but if he posted that on his socials, why would he need to remove the text from the version he posts here? I don't think he's expecting this board to be his target audience and I think we are all smart enough to understand that the ad is not aimed at us particularly. but instead him simply posting his latest piece

>>6828387


i can tell you are using physical paints. pigments in colors in paints are actually important. Like, no really they are actually important. Especially on your wallet.

so, use black paint so sparingly. Do you notice how much it just dominates your brush and u have to clean it a lot? Black has a purpose, but being the crutch of shading is not one of them. In digital we can benefit from just, adding as much black as we want to the paint, we are in full control. With real paints, you are genuinely wasting money this way!ESPECIALLY when combining it with yellow. I would advise you learn the real mixing properties of paints.


in terms of the actual art piece, her face looks dry and cracked like a skull. tattoos, watch, cigarette, pink hair, body rolls and the simplistic urban home background gives it a story which i interpret as1. a prositute or 2.a quirky lover.

But yeah i highly reccommend learning how paints mix. Using black as much as you do can make you waste money.Dont ditch the black paint, but try to not use it at all for your next piece.

mixing black and yellow creates a greenish undertone. it can be an expensive mistake. black contains all three primary colors. Learn how to make a custom black that leans towards one of these primary colors ( perhaps, red. ) to mix with your skin colors instead of tube-black paint.
in terms of yellow, notice you need to use a ton of yellow paint, huh? This not only consumes more yellow paint but also results in a dull, muted green, not a realistically shaded yellow.

mix complementarities (colors opposite to each ohter in the color wheel ) to create a muddy brown. this can be desirable for neutralizing bold colors, much less expensive than black paint straight from the tube. ( btw i tend to use black paint with intention, such as after the piece has dried, and as a background. ) be careful because overuse will cause unwanted muddy colors.

>>6836905
would have prefered if he just put his patreon link not like, oh please go to my patreon.
in the context of this board, it seems like advertisement rather than an actual critique, whether intentional or not.

theres no rules about it of course. so he can do what he wants. But im not giving a crit because it seems like a shameless ad. i feel like we should be posting our work not teasers or promo content. Not saying that he should have posted the full necessarily because who knows who will upload that to a booru so people see it for free.

subtle patreon links makes me think like, oh yeah find me here. support me if you want, in the context of this board. posting a ver of ur art with "give me money for the full version!" on an art critique board kind of shifts the perception of it from one of learning to monetization even if it wasn't intended. It may not be targeting us, but it still feels like it is a promotional piece instead. so even if it was a mistake it still feels like an advert to me.

perhaps being a little more mindful leaving it out next time would be a little more respectful of the purpose of the board?

Rolling for hyper realistic furry masterpieces

>>6837369
haha! no :'( sorry. but i do draw furries , double :'(

i put this together because my long hours job has made it kind of hard for me to draw NSFW things as much. The colored piece is from a few years ago now but it's to show my coloring or lack thereof...

I apologize for the many responses without art. I guess I just haven’t made the time to draw NSFW, I didn't want to post irrelevant or half assed sketches just for the sake of it. Not saying what I have is good by any means. But I'm open to learning. I’m genuinely interested in the growth of on /salt/ slash /sex/ in particular

>>6837381
Don't leave me hanging anon
>>6832176

>>6837395
alright you caught me as the first poster ^^; I'll be honest I don't know how to crit fetish art but here goes.

I've seen way worse perspective than this and I'll give you that. but i agree with the other anon I don't really like the head here, she almost looks like a muscle character ( but perhaps that is the point. )
I'm going to be completely honest here, her proportions look like the thicc omni man meme..

And while i think it definitely looks 3d, and i love the lighting on the nose in particular, i think the piece would do well with more of that color variation, giving a slight boost to the hue when the shadows and lights merge. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnxLy71xuPk ) other than that I have no big complaints on the color. I would say maybe the face needs more light but this seems to be focused on the massive tits so I'll give it a pass because its clearly not supposed to be about her face.

some sweat and/or fog in the closeup would be nice. It would convince the viewer even more that what you were looking at was the inside of her cleavage.

Not a huge fan of the text but I don't know how I would have done it different. I see youre taking inspiration from comic books, so maybe how some of your favorite comics do speech bubbles. the font size is somewhat inconsistent, and the placement of the text obscures the image overall, but not severely. I also could not tell that she was shaking her boobs around, the motion lines are hard to see. so are the nipples.

linework is clean, perspective is decent and inoffensive, at least to me. ah but one last thing. This looks like it's all indoors, like inside of a factory. Is it not?

>>6837400
The head comment was referring to the post above mine. And you critique fetish art like any art, why would it be different?
Yes she's supposed to be very thicc, muscular, and busty :) She's also about 10 feet tall here
Totally agree, should've done sweat on the close up but I got lazy.
I don't read comics at all, just trying to make things look nice. I feel like if all the fonts were homogenous it would be too sterile, I also did different outline weights for speech vs sfx. And I don't expect you to like the text lol
I can definitely see that I should've gone more intense with the motion effects. The setting is the basement of a Team Rocket hideout
I really appreciate the critique!! I've posted this in three threads on this board and this is the first critique I've gotten and it was great! Thank you anon

>>6837381
I knew it, holy based.
Good work anon, very nice shape design on the lighting

>>6826775
Tried to make her sexy but failed, redlines are welcome

>>6836855
Thanks this is actually useful

>>6835716
>>6836040
>>6836900
damn, did not expect this.
Yeah, I think everyone's right. I wanted to practice the rendering part so I kinda rushed the pose.
Especially the collarbone and arm area looking at it again. Still have a lot to learn in terms of perspective.
in /beg/ someone told me the eye perspective was off too.
Oh well, back to fundies I guess

>>6837468
She looks very attractive and I love the color choices. The warm/cold divide is nice. Top left area is a little too barren, but overall really nice
>>6837783
I think the eyes look fine

>>6836040
As far as I can tell you just redrew the pose with a different perspective, it doesn't mean the original was wrong

>>6836833
>But sometimes the shading is inconsistent
It would help if you told me where?
Thanks for the comment btw, Ill try to apply some of it.

>>6833592
should i start copying real-life people or go straight with studying stylized artworks?

>>6838025
Draw from real life/photos and compare those figures to the artists whose styles you like. See what shapes they use for different body parts and compare to yours.
Faces I would say start by referencing your preferred style first, then start practicing with skull refs from all angles.
That's just my opinion though

>>6838132
thanks, anon

How do you even learn how to shade and render foot soles and palms
Trying to copy people who bother drawing these parts in detail and all I can manage to get are disgusting amorphous blobs where not a single brush stroke is discernible

>>6838662
It's like anything else really. The biggest difference with feet and palms is you have to learn where the skin can change hue and saturation so you can make it look realistic. And then if you're adding wrinkles it just takes some practice. Look at a real foot ref and make your drawing look like that

>>6837468
172 retweets on this pic but 0 new followers. Even lost one, had 1093 followers before publishing and now it's 1092. I can't fucking believe it, somebody tell me what am I doing wrong

>>6838701
Imo, it's not really good enough to warrant a follow, but I barely follow 100 people, and almost all of them mutuals.
You gotta have some kind of brand though I think. Are all of your works similar to this in terms of feel and style? Do you feature this same character often? or even the cat? I assume growing a following with SFW content can be tough if you're not doing fanart

>>6838701
Oh, and another thing that could help is more/better storytelling

>>6838701
You are placing all your eggs to Twitter while DA and Pixiv are way better sites to get picked up and consitently grow in numbers

>>6837999
I hope this is AI. If you seriously waste your time for uninspired xerox crap like this then you have some major issues imo.
Unless if you do this as rendering practice and just want to post the results.
It's boring as fuck and has zero artist's personality showing anyway in it. Or you can say that you have 0 personality.

>>6838662
If the only thing "you can manage to get are disgusting amorphous blobs where not a single brush stroke is discernible" when it comes to feet and hands, then I can't imagine you being able to do anything better on other parts of the body.
PYW if you want to get proper feedback, dumbass.

>>6838728
I see.
>>6838755
>>6838762
DA didn't work for me. And I was drawing mostly Western stuff, so Pixiv was not much of help either.
I guess I will have to go back to anime porn gifs and do them 24/7 now. Doing just the torso right now, anyone has idea/request on what character it should be?
I think AI hit the market really hard, I barely get static NSFW commissions nowadays but there was a whole bunch of people that wanted to buy gifs instead

>>6838876
Don't waste your time following the market, true skill is recognised everywhere regardless of which fad is going strong.

quality coomer bros are like nobility in this board. Welcome mister, make yourself comfortable. This is your home

>>6833141
Is looking at image and trying to drawnit tracing or is tracing when you draw ontop of the image?

I’m starting so sorry if this sounds silly. I’ve been eyeballing alot of images to practice and I’m wondering if that’s considered tracing.

>>6838899
thanks
but this is probably a first and only, dont really draw let alone do coom
no socials, so dont ask

>>6837381
I knew you'd be fucking beg
You have no business giving critique

>>6838893
I personally like Mia *a little bit better*, but damn that's a very nice Franzy. Nice tastes for picking her.
Welcome aboard, good anon, hope we get to see more of you.
>>6838908
Or not? That's a shame, you did a great job here, for someone that doesnt draw, you're pretty ahead of a lot of people on this board kek.

>>6839059
His critiques are helpful actually. Pyw while you're at it

>>6837381
Good critiques but I wanna see you practice what you preach. You definitely have potential.
>>6837468
It's just not a provocative pose. Legs are fine but a little lame for the angle. The arm is covering her breast and not in a fun way but in a "it's just kinda there" way. The girl is not that strong of a focal point either.
>>6838701
I guarantee you that its bots getting purged. And by the context of the content you create, this doesn't really warrant attention.
>>6838876
Ironically enough, I bounce between eastern and western and my western works get the most traffic on Pixiv. And porn animations are easy traction.

>>6838849
Someone's jelly

>>6839179
You have to go back

>>6839082
thanks for the kind words
i've always had a pretty good knack for drawing, used to do it consistently like three years ago. but i've been slowly coming back to it. despite it all, i'd still consider myself beg.

>>6836547
Is the neck any better like this?

>>6839270
You just changed the shadow

>>6839179
>>6839179
Not really. I just think his is a waste of actual technical skill.

>>6838849
Are you a newfag? This guy's been around for a century.

>>6839471
I noticed this guy's stuff only 1-2 months ago for the first time. And since then he's been posting only the same uninspired xerox copies of photos.

>>6839477
you must really hate artists like vargas, elvgren, and nagel.

>>6839448
Appeal

>>6838893
decided to give in and made a part 2, but i'm getting cold feet now... i'll leave it at this and go

>>6839270
Well I started, but I kinda gave up. Focus on improving your form when drawing before you worry too much about painting

>>6839513
I knew you wouldn't resist. Welcome again coomer bro. Freedom tastes so sweet... you can do whatever you want... whatever you want

>>6839577
it's been done, but i'm not posting it for the world to see. don't think i'm gonna make more after this one, but i must say that it really did took some deadweight off my shoulder. i fully believe an artist should draw coom once or twice just to take the edge off, now i can focus on other projects

>>6839497
I don't hate any artist.
I might have opinions on their art, but that's it.

>>6837408
Actually I'm going to agree with you on the font thing. Maybe it's more of a case by case. It's just something that came to mind upon my first viewing of it

I think the reason why it's harder to critique fetish art is because fetish artists are more inclined to say "well i did that on purpose" so it's discouraging for the critic. So its harder to tell if our criticism will be considered. It's a shame because i think for that exact reason you seldom see "good" fetish artwork, because it's all chalked up to what's basically "but that's my style" Not saying everything has to be boring women with boobs in sexy poses only, im not trying to be a prude. It's just an observation

Okay well you got the basement vibe down. If this was supposed to be a night time scene that's where I'd start to question the lighting color choices

>>6837437
Thanks a lot! I'm going to take the L on the skunk girl though because its hard to read from a distance. I'm glad you enjoy it though.

>>6837490
Yeah no problem

>>6839059
Why belittle my critique when all you can muster is "Beg"? Who exactly is qualified to criticique artwork and why would they be on 4chan? Btw im not saying my art is not beg. If you have more to say, it because that's what a critique board is for
>>6839101
I'm glad to help

>>6839117
Thanks. I actually agree with you because It's a trap i put myself in to procrastinate from doing art because i tell myself , and maybe its true, that I'm too tired after my 9 hr shift to draw. Thank you, though, I'll keep it in mind

My first time working with tones. Also not sure what happened to her face, kinda sucks she looks sad can't figure out how to make her look more seductive.

>>6839668
Ah, I could definitely see that. Makes sense because Jessie's physique there would be terrible in a non-fetish scenario for example, but I could take that reasoning and apply it to anything in the piece I suppose. Most fetish artists probably don't care much about improvement to begin with

>>6839675
Lower her eyelids and give her more of a smile

>>6837468
loving the soft red and blue hued lights. The composition is dynamic and appealing, the character and cat are placed in a way that leads the viewer's eye through the entire image, and the two different lights makes this piece look more 3d and have depth. I also appreciate the use of a background because even if its barebones it helps tell a story better than a blank void.
her thighs and calves are a smidgen long but there's nothing exactly 'wrong' with that per se because that can be sexy, like panty and stocking or pinups. but i do notice the head is small, it looks like her neck muscles arent supporting her head ( i know shes laying down ) but instead it looks like her head is being stretched off of her body in a way i cant quite describe but its because the neck tapers to a small point which is the head.also her hair is looking a little bit like ai art when it gets onto the pillows.

this looks like a pinup for sure, like something you might see in like a kind of playful or funny 'working class girl is tired but sexy' calendar haha

it depends on what you think is sexy, but i sort of understand there's not an overly sexual undertone but this is a pinup for sure. maybe a hand behind the head, playing with her hair. or her thights being squished together because her knees are pressed together. her hand being closer if not touching her pussy, as if to cover it or put pressure on it. she could be looking at the camera with a coy glance, or her clothes could be slipping off of her in a way that just barely covers her up enough to cover her nipples or her ass.

she's missing a stiletto btw on her right foot.

>>6839764
I did not mean to put the image back in the reply im so dumb lmao

>>6839675
did you trace something that was on paper?
the lineart looks a little wobbly. try practicing CSI lines or something. try more varied line weights too perhaps. thicker lines on the contours and lighter lines for internal details.

yeah she looks quite solemn. her eyes look downcast, her mouth is also downturned. idk why she has little catepillars for eyebrows tho

instead of trying to go for a sexy face right away maybe try to come up with ways to encorporate a wide range of intentional facial expressions rather than very neutral ones? come up with something for why a charater would be sad, mad, surprised, scared, etc. and draw that
for the actual art the lines on the body do not look like they are placed intentionally and sort of look like cloth. Her bum indicates that there is a fold on her ass but her ass CHEEK does not convey that and is as plumped as the one above it. the feet are...something, lack detail entirely. her arm is skinny like a noodle,
she, too, looks liek she has ai art hair.. wait a second, did you trace ai art for this?

>>6839282
no he did add a little more form but he needs to think of it in 3d more. that part of the neck would have shading, too.

>>6838893
wonderful line weights :) the facial expression also shows confidence and arrogance and it matches the text. i will say her hand looks like a mickey mouse glove i noticed. her left hip ( one on our right) could benefit from more plumpage. Also i cannot tell what is going on below the dress. is that a dress? i dont know this character. it looks like a weird triangle. I think its hard to tell becase 1. no color or shading and 2. it gets cut off at an awkward place. no shading and coloring here is okay but keep in mind that things will have to be emphasized to keep readability. It is currently quite flat, which is not necessarily bad but that's probably why its hard to read that part of the page.

>>6839448
her pussy is at a bad angle also you clearly have never ever looked at a cunt before because you just gave her a man's taint between her vagina hole and her anus. Please look up a picture of a vagina. Look up porn of a woman in that pose. Look up a picture of a woman's cunt, a real woman's cunt I'm sorry it's just really really weird looking.. you'll see exactly what i mean. Believe it or not, you can stick your index finger and your thumb, one hand, in a woman's anus and her vagina at the same time. You could with your middle finger and your index at the same time too. that's how close they are together. women don;t have taints, where your taint is is where her cunt is, not your balls.

her legs also look a little off centered compared to the hps and the rest of the body, instead of looking like they are tilted. I think this would benefit from more perspective by simply sizing up the legs as a whole, sizing down the chest, and then moving the head down giving a sense of depth, id do it myself but im not at my pc

>>6839791
picture for reference if you want

>>6839747
I'll try it out, thanks.

>>6839773
wow thanks for the reply, it really helps a lot. You really gave me a lot of direction for moving forward with the piece. No it is not AI, it's actually from some decade old 'how to draw manga' book and I used one of their sketches as a reference. I have been trying to move on from tracing and instead try to take my time and do a direct reference from the photo.

>>6839784
yeah it's harder to visualize if you don't already know the character (franziska von karma) but thank you for your kind words and criticisms

>>6839791
The whole pelvis was fucked and made no sense in general, but thanks for the taint thing, I drew too many futa and started drawing it instinctively lower

>>6839674
If it's any consolation I'm somewhat in the same boat. What I do is try to put in my brain power to use on smaller scale things like inking, painting, backgrounds and edits and reserve sketching for weekends or downtime at work

Hello easily impressionable beginner.

>>6840072
Dude just admit you don't understand his process or why it's good.
He's been doing this shit since before you were born with much less useful tools and references than we have now. And his stuff has actually gotten cleaner and more aesthetic as he goes.
You can call his subject matter boring, sure, but the technique is refined.

>>6838876
Do you like the recoil, guys?

>>6840202
yes
very much

>>6840247
Then you will like the finished version with improved boob physics even more

>>6840174
>You can call his subject matter boring, sure, but the technique is refined.
My point, exactly. I just wish he focused more on his own expression inside stylization and abstraction of stroke gesture.
I miss the author's note. That's all I'm trying to say.

>>6840327
god speed, anon

Gonna start painting after I figure out how to draw all these little people, it's so taxing. Being trash at drawing sucks, do not recommend

>>6837999
You probably get asked this a lot, but how do you render? Were there any particular tutorials/guides that really helped you out?

>>6835498

do you do any tall girl vs short wrestling?

I don't usually draw coom (or people at all). I'm aiming for a semi realistic cartoon style. I used a photo of Lucie Wilde as reference. Do you think that this style is coomworthy enough? What would you change to make it more appealing? She's kinda ugly and I'm trying to keep some likeness while still making her look hot.

>>6840779
How do you get commissions?

>>6841287
>do you do any tall girl vs short wrestling
Yeah, done them and current comm too is continuation for Nami and young Nami vs Lucy and young Lucy.

>>6841352
By opening my comms in Pixiv and Deviant Art. They both have the in-site commission system that shows if you available for comms when they hover mouse over your profile pic or click open your pics or profile. If you meant why I get comms, I'm guessing I offer something that people into that something want to commission

>>6840755
I have esoteric tastes.
>>6840790
Danke, anon

how do you guys get your art so clean.. mine is always messy and even if I try to line it goes soulless or my hand health implodes.

>>6841468
Practice and confident strokes showing not only the outlines but the weight, distance, angle, size and so on. Those sketchy lines give illusion of soul and nicer appeal because they let viewer pick the most optimal definition for them.

>>6841477
>Practice and confident strokes showing not only the outlines but the weight
what are the best exercises to practice this sort of stuff?

>>6841481
Drawing, actually doing it, studying tutorials and artists who you think pull it off

>>6835498
blog?

>>6841489
twitter and baraag, LewdPencil.

I finally finished this ref sheet, it took me so much time to complete, it's got different angles, outfits as well as little tidbits about her appearance, personality, things about her and small things about her world

>>6841348
You gotta find a few good/popular artists that you like and see what you find appealing from their styles, you can't really just generate your own from nothing. Also make it easy on yourself and pick a more attractive ref
>>6841350
Cute, nice color palette
>>6841468
You don't need to make things cleaner imo, your line work is appealing in a sketchy way
>>6841518
Nice! I'm digging the shapes and that waist to hip ratio. She cute

rock on

>>6841533
Thank you bro! I want to work on being a bit more deliberate with my lines however. It takes less out of my wrist when I'm slower and more thoughtful with my lines.

>>6841537
cute, her arm kinda merges with her hip though even though its not, perhaps larger dark difference to offset that?

>>6841468
>>6841622
same as other anon said, I dont think you need to unless your trying to be like a certain artist you like

biggest example if you know rattatatatatata artist, his stuff has huge appeal but really looking at his art the lines are actually unclean and even cut into each other

I was dealing with my depressive personality. Drawing makes me happy, I still didn't want to accept that.
Maybe I can draw well, but I don't know how to sell my art or how to get it to other people. That is a very big brake if you want to dedicate yourself to this.

There are some changes I would like to apply to how I manage comics. I think I'm doing it very badly if I put out 30 pages every 3 months to be read in 5 minutes and then people don't remember nothing about me for another 4 months.

>>6836870
Thanks for the reply, you took a lot of things into account that I had no idea about. Maybe in the future I'll redraw this piece. The character is Ice Queen, from Adventure time. I thought maybe it was like hot springs, but it didn't quite fit the idea. My intention was to make the character look sexually attractive, delicate and cute.

In this drawing, the background is in a frozen cave, the back is ice, not crystals, but I understand the confusion. I didn't have much of an idea how to imply that it was a cold place and at the same time, a cave. The caustic seems interesting to be able to convey that idea.

About the colors, days after uploading this drawing I found pic related, I like the combination between blue and indigo as you mentioned. In my case I find that the dark blue, the calypso and the light blue get lost very easily as a whole.

>>6843353
> how to make abstract backgrounds appealing?
your issue is your thinking of bg's as an abstraction, when they simply are not. They are objective. your character should "live" in a environment.

>>6844571
can't see any of it

>>6844660
I'm talking about abstract backgrounds
>>6843353
Anyone else that can help? For example, if I had a character on a white background, but I wanted to make the background look like a wash or something akin to that, should I just go with complementary colors for contrast, or maybe colors close in hue with a contrast in saturation? Any advice would be helpful!
I feel like it's something you eventually get an intuitive sense for and you just make things pleasing to your own eye

>>6844209
ok i re-worked pretty much all of these and tried making them look more like official signs.....got really into it and made like 30 of them- all hentai themed.
