I'm a dumbass THIS is the actual previous thread:
>>6838087

Taking requests.

shaded it a bit.

>>6860623
>>6860653

>>Try and push the actual boxy forms even further. Atleast thats how I try and do it.
>Implying I know how to, I have no idea how I even operate up to this point. I'm performing an idiot savant drawing.

What I mean is if you draw the ribcage in a box, just tilt it more. Any pose you are drawing, just make it more exagerated. Its what I did with yours. If you have trouble with it, dont worry thats normal. Id grind perspective books and then hit proko/other anatomy resources.

>>6860987
I will try however I am shit at being my own teacher. Perspective is pretty much alien to me in terms of actually doing it

>>6860992
Try perspective made easy by Ernest Norling. Then go for perspective for comic book artists. Framed perspective works wonders aswell ive heard, but do it after perspective made easy.

>>6860997
I mean I "get it", I've done some boxes in perspective but fuck me if I'm going to get a character in one

>>6861001
Trust me, no you dont. Not even I "get it" yet. You need to be mentally aware of a grid at all times. Perspective is everything.

>>6860891
draw lucario and incineroar hugging

>>6856187
I see it koboldanon.
In the mean time, posting a sloppy wip. Trying to be less messy by doing more sketch work. My sketchbook is helping me a lot.

>>6860891
draw lucario and incineroar telling anons to stop requesting the two hugging.

>>6861174
While they are hugging

>>6861168
I've been noticed.

kino cringe

I'm looking for artists who are good at drawing expressions. I feel like that's lacking in my art atm. Any recommendations?

re-posting since new thread, please let me know how I can improve in general sense.
Will I ever make it, bros?

>>6861518
cute and well done
you need better lineweight, especially on the ends of your lines they are still very round.
the lineweight of the sketch looks better than the final, I'd mess around with your pen and pressure settings
the snout is rotated right from the face/head

>>6861518
>>6861525
Or embrace the sketch. You don't NEED to ink your sketches all the time, especially when they're as clean as that sketch is. The texture and variation are nice.
Try disabling the lineart and reenabling the sketch with the color. See how it looks.

>>6861537
my problem is also that I don't know how to render cleanly, I wish I could have it as clean as this for example.
>https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F64EKllWMAAkYJm?format=jpg&name=4096x4096
When I render it feels dirty and amateurish, I clearly lack in that department as well.

>>6860891
copy bridgman twice

>>6861525
>especially on the ends of your lines they are still very round.
NTA but guessing the best way to avoid this is to use a very pressure-sensitive brush. Though from my experience, most brushes that have pressure sensitivity go a bit weird and shrink very heavily when you try to apply less pressure.

>>6861332
Turn that uno brow into a complete raccoon mask and it'll look cuter

>>6861672
You mean like the incredible gassy mask?

>>6860752
What brushes should i use to have a lineart/coloring similar to this?

bros I want to make it... tips pls

hot noodle :)
>>6862155
round airbrush

>>6862177
I like this. Nice spoiler, idiot!

>>6862177
Very cute!

>>6862207
i want to lick those beans

>>6862177
the tail wouldn't natually go over 90° at the root or coccyx or whatever you call it where it attaches to the lower body.

jfc this thread staying up is proof that janny is a tranny faggot

>>6862291
lol same thanks
>>6862396
lol seethe

>>6862396
how is the existence of this thread against the rules

>>6862207
Those paws look really cool.....

>>6861542
Scott Robertsons how to render. That will fix rendering. But hood luck reading it without reading his how to draw book first. And good luck reading THAT without perspective fundamentals in general.

>>6862039
No like a bandit mask

>>6862408
heheh seethe im being a faggot furry autist seethe loool totally owning you by being a porn addicted social outcast hehehe seeeethe

>>6862657
lmfao

>>6862373
I see, so base should aim downwards while the rest of tail moves around>?

>On the topic have any of you done art of rain world
yes but it was just a doodle

>>6863196
pretty nice

>>6863196
do not shade with black, classic mistake. Instead, use a darker more saturated shade of the same color.

>>6863214
I remember seeing this. I still like it a lot.

>>6863201
A few.

>>6863201
never played it, is it worth checkin out?

>>6863214
>>6863381
cute

>>6861542
Well, lets see rendered primitive shapes of yours.

>>6863419
>>6863408

Does /fag/ like frogs?

>>6863426
NO DABBING

>>6863381
>>6863408
Very cute scugs

>>6863408
The best way I can describe is that its survival eco sim platformer. The environments and creatures are cool. The gameplay can be pretty fluid once you get into it but starts off clunky.
Whether or not you'll like it depends on if you like more structured games or not. It has very little guidance or direction so its fairly common to get stuck/lost. For some that's a perk and for others it sucks.

If anything its definitely a unique game. If you do buy be sure get the PC version and not the console ports.

tried doing something with perspective

Just a thought. If I finished this, you think it's the quality of work someone might pay money for?

>>6863439
Pepe the Frog is the most common character posted here on 4chan so sure lol

>>6863812
Kay lol

>>6863807
Opposite perspective

sometimes commissions are actually pretty good for experimenting with stuff

>>6863665
make me

>>6863373
You mean the area on the head, right? I know, doesnt look good, but it's still a very rough color sketch.

>>6864104
No, you really shouldn't ever shade with black, unless you're doing some kind of comic book, ultra-stylized thing. Shadows aren't ever black.

>>6864113
noted, will change it

>>6864113
ok, I will change it

>>6863901
>>6863807
looks good, you could charge people for sketches I guess. If you can render well then for sure.

>>6863901
>>6863807
how to achieve?

I drew Fifi, been a while.
Any tips? Especially on bikini, I have no idea how to draw that shit.
Anatomy tips too pls

>>6864559
how to render tips welcome too, I am pretty sure my rendering makes the picture way worse than it is

>>6864561
Can you render cubes and spheres?

>>6864559
Her head looks a bit scrunched. Something's off, but I lack the knowledge to pinpoint exactly what. I think the proportions are just squished, and she doesn't seem to have a chin. Hands are also pretty rough, just in general.
All in all I think you did a great job finishing a piece, and it's clearly a step in the right direction. I like the pose, and her hips, and her tail. The boob shape looks good too, but it's hard to tell with the censor bikini in place lmao.
Good job anon. Keep up the pace!

>>6863196
Scott robertsons how to render. NOW

>>6864573
Not in a way that makes them look good probably

>>6864559
head looks good to me but i'm a beg so take with some salt. imo the solid black linework around the bikini is a little distracting next to the comparatively much lighter purple around the body, remember halfway to black principles can apply to linework too. also the hand in the back - if you flip your hand and try to make that pose your hand can only go far enough to make a straight on the left, so keep the hand more in line with the forearm. nice work

>>6864593
Why not start there and work your way up? It's hard to make them look bad, if you know the theory.

>grinding loomis no longer improves
>scan fucked up

kill me

>>6864620
>It's hard to make them look bad,
you underestimate my power

>>6864749
So you're just going to give up? Why ask for tips then?

>>6864766
didn't say I'm gonna give up, just saying that I can fuck up simple things

>>6860752
what brush did you use for this? i thought it looked similar to a pixel brush but im not sure

>>6864853
looks like a binary brush to me

>>6864827
Everyone does. That's how you learn. Fail again, fail better.
Don't make it harder for yourself, do simple stuff first, do it well. Then move to harder things.
If you can't sit down and do "boring" stuff, then mix it with your typical fun work. Do a bit of this, then a bit of that.

I was asked by friends to draw a charr witch even though I have no idea how to draw one. I guess I can drop it here for tips

>>6865010
Nice booba. I don't think the face looks much like a charr, but that's not to say it's bad or anything. She's got cute gremlin energy.

>>6865022
>I don't think the face looks much like a charr
good to know I failed the only relevant criteria for the picture

>>6865038
Don't look at it like that. It's still a very cute and competent picture. It's just clear you haven't drawn many feline faces is all, and all that takes is some research and practice.

>>6865038
It truly is over. How will you ever recover from this big fucky-wucky?

>>6865043
going to sleep, all I can do

>>6861023
Best I can do is a Nidoran

drawing feather fingers is really hard

>>6864302
What do you mean? It's not what I would advise people have as a goal, especially since it isn't finished.

I work a lot on dexterity and line confidence. It helps me focus more on the creative side without being distracted with the technical side. Kind of like writing a letter. I'd want my handwriting to be really nice first.

>>6865121
howd you construct body, what did u follow. how you practice it?

>>6865074
speaking of, looking for pose/perspective advice if you guys have any
https://files.catbox.moe/3qwy9y.png
(nsfw obviously)

>>6865149
Can't offer advice but I do think he's hella cute.

>>6865149
he cute but head a bit too big

>>6860752
What's best practice for doing multiple fur colors in a more rendered style? Hard transition, or some blending?

>>6865149
Right knee does not match the perspective.

>>6865132
I start off with gesture.
My torso is just a stretchy rectangle that I curve in the directions I want. Then I do hips/legs but very fluid and gesturally. I always make a horizontal line in the middle of the torso or slightly lower to know where the obliques begin to widen into the hips. I usually don't settle on a head until last because I usually like to change the head position. The arms sometimes come after the legs and hips and are usually just gestural tubes with a bit of taper. I do more anatomical stuff after that.

I've not really gotten this from any specific person/teacher. I enjoy the privilege of having access to an art studio that hosts live model drawing sessions open to the public and this is what I've developed. But I'm still far from the "figure drawer" I'd like to be
He gets hate here on this board but honestly proko's videos on gesture were also a huge help.

>>6865170
>>6865179
hows this
https://files.catbox.moe/i9tgv7.png
>>6865163
I've drawn very few male lewds in my time as an artist so I'm glad someone thinks he looks alright

>>6865197
im not really understanding that cause im retarded, next time you're doing a piece would you be willing to show the torso construction?

https://files.catbox.moe/ba8ad8.png
https://files.catbox.moe/44uclb.pnghttps://files.catbox.moe/j7rjk2.png

shit ive done recently

>>6865400
Thumbs up. I like the pup and the mouse on the bull (that's a very fun pose/scenario). I like the rendering of the dragon in a general sense, but I feel like it's the weakest of the 3 in terms of anatomy.
Do you have a blog? I feel like I must have followed you at some point, but since I nuked my Twitter, I may as well ask again. :^)

i took 5 hours to poorly draw paws i origionally traced
please rape and kil me for being such a failiure

>>6865400
>catboxxing gay porn
Jannies won't ban you for posting dicks, you know. They'd probably pay you to do it if they had any money.

https://www.furaffinity.net/user/nsix

>>6866242
Oh, I had followed you on Twitter. I knew I recognized the work. Now I follow you on FA.

>>6864874
whats a binary brush?

>one of my favorite pieces of furry art ever produced was deleted by its artist who said, "it's old and bad and no one wants to see it", and doesn't even seem to exist on the internet anymore
I know what I must do. I will do my best to create an homage to such a perfect piece of work.

>>6866276
A miserable pile of ones and zeroes.
No, it's just an aliased hard round brush, I think.

>>6866299
ah cool thank u

>>6866466
draw bigger dude this looks like it was physically painful on your wrist

>>6866636
This was during a lecture and I needed to save space for notes

Is Fura still a good site to post in? How viable is it for a SFW artist?

>>6865341
Yeah sure. This is a really simple way of breaking down my process for starting a figure.

>>6866753
Not that anon, but I am also retarded, and this is very helpful. Thank you.
I've been trying to get better at construction for a while now, but now matter how much I research and attempt to apply the lessons, it doesn't seem to work. This, for some reason, seems to make more sense to my big dumb brain.

>>6866767
It is useful for finding the gesture, I then will add the important anatomy like the ribcage and muscles and stuff.

I've found I had little luck trying to copy exactly how other people constructed figures, so instead I borrowed from a bunch of sources and eventually developed my own way of doing things.
I imagine it will probably be the same for you and the other anon.

still on my bullshit

Ah. To your own work, anon-sama? Scandalous. You are forgiven, though.

>>6866824
coincidentally, i've never been able to get off to my own work. i've stared at it for so long it just looks boring to me.

What about half-boots? Like the ones that look like boots but only cover the calves, leaving the heel and toes exposed.

>end up drawing the same exact thing i've drawn a hundred times already
>have fun drawing :)

>>6868318
oh I like that idea, I could also line the top of them with some floof that resembles Abby's chest fur

>>6868323
I sometimes need to allow myself to do this. I get so caught up with learning and practicing, that I forget to just draw what I enjoy (which are big boobies and thighs).

>>6868332
Good idea. That would make a very appealing shape.
Or thigh-highs!

>>6868340
Thigh thighs are an option, but they are one I definitely overuse, so I am a bit hesitant. That said I will not rule them out.

>>6868353
Can one overuse thigh-highs? I don't think the world can ever have enough thigh-highs on cute batty girls.

painting an angry, wet dragon, not sure about proportions

>>6869371
Soulful/10, would harvest your brain to steal your skills

>>6862155
soft round for rendering, hard round for lines.

use a brush set to map opacity to preassure, and another one that sets blending to preassure to aid you.

>>6864591
Sorry, but I pushed through with my approach, maybe next time

>>6864591
that's like recommend a flamethrower for killing a spider

Watch this short (5 minutes long) and fun video: https://www.ctrlpaint.com/videos/brush-control-pt-1

first time trying out digital painting, it's an interesting medium.

How would I go about painting the fur on the sergals head? Or any of it, for that matter. I've kinda just laid out the flats for now. But it would be nice with some tips for the rest.
I'm aware of the shoulder being odd

Does anyone remember this pic by cbee? He seems to have disappeared from the internet, so I'm trying to remake it as practice.

>>6869780
ps
it kinda looks like a cloak but its supposed to be a suit, although i think i know how to fix it

>>6869492
The ribs need a little less definition (detail) and it'll look better.

Witching time

>>6870516
Wait, is that your character? I thought you were just doing fanart of her, but didn't realize it was something you originally created.

>>6870577
Yeah she’s mine. From an old webcomic I used to do, but sorta abandoned to draw other comics. Her name is Luellen.

>>6870605
Oh wow! I've had this image saved for a long time, never knew it was your handy work. Nice.

>>6870605
So what's her story? She looks distinctly different here than in most of the other works I've seen of her. Much more meek.

>>6866753
Thank you, do you think you could show your gesture as well?

>>6870970
based, i wanna draw more like you someday

Long story short she was a runnaway prostitute from a brothel, who found herself a family who would take her in as a house-maid, till her past caught up with her.

Here you go anon. Hope this helps

>>6873097
Anybody have some thoughts on this doodle character?

>>6873720
It is what it is. A doodle. Not much to say about it. Maybe try refining the doodle a bit so that there’s more of interest going on?

Yeah it sucks ass. Back to grinding BOI

>>6873767
Give it the ole' refinement treatment too like the other one then

moth OC i gave up on drawing after being unsatisfied with the hair.

>>6874132
All moths are better when they have a big ol' floofy neck collar.
Don't give up anon, we need more moth gfs.

Could someone help me with the hands? They're supposed to be feline paws. So they have a very specific shape. Im trying not to make them bony with sharp claws.

How the fuck does an opened bunny muzzle look like from the side? :( including the buck tooth. I tried to look for refs on E621 and google but can't find anything

>>6874227
Something like this?
If it's not looking right to you, then my guess is that you're not taking into account the cheek, and it's looking too much like a crocodile or something. Hard to say without seeing your work though.

>>6874321
This helps a lot, I'm gonna try drawing it now and post results

>>6874321
>>6874339
Here:
https://files.catbox.moe/6dhbfy.png
He's brushing his teeth, but he still just doesn't look that cute. Maybe it's the fact that I'm trying to draw him more hare looking as far as the muzzle is concerned? Your advice made him look like 50x better by the way, so I'm still obviously super grateful.

>>6874370
Hey, that doesn't look bad. Good job!
And it depends on what kind of cute you're going for. I think rabbits tend to look cute no matter what you do, but you could always try experimenting with shapes, like making larger and rounder, specifically his eyes and skull. The combination of a smaller mouth/snout and larger eyes usually makes things cuter with little effort. Might take some finesse though, or he'll end up looking like a female. Unless that's what you want lmao.

Here's another anon's rabbit as an example (if you're lurking, I hope you don't mind my using Molly as an example) that uses a few of those principles. Even though she's scowling, she's still got that cute effect going on.

I bit off more than I could chew... roast me

>>6874478
I like her exaggerated mouth and expression. My only gripe is no catbox. I need to judge your areolas, anon.
I like it a lot. Do you have a gallery?

>>6874470
You give great advice anon, thank you.
I put down some lines and experimented with the muzzle some more, and that helped the cute appeal a lot, like you said!
https://files.catbox.moe/86xa25.png
Now it's something I'm a lot happier with, but I might keep experimenting.
Also wondering if keeping the eye hidden would make him look too emo with his bang of hair, but since on this character it normally isn't, I might just have to draw the eye.

>>6874493
>I need to judge your areolas
they are not good
>https://files.catbox.moe/wgdow0.png
@NaClDispenser on xitter I guess...

>>6874493
Not him but give me good examples of tasteful
areolas

>>6874555
Those nips look nice as fuck
YOINK!

>>6874555
Oh! Yeah, I remember you. For some reason your Loona looks like a different style than what you usually do. I really want to reiterate that I like her mouth a lot. Also, good boobies. Praise be.

>>6874557
I can't in this thread, but in general, they shouldn't be overly defined. They're subtle things, areolas, even if they're a bit puffy.

>>6874561
>i cant
Just post regular tits anon. Im sure Jannie-sama wont care.

>>6874561
>For some reason your Loona looks like a different style than what you usually do.
I have no idea why myself, I didn't try to make it different. I guess I'm just not consistent

>>6874565
I don't know about that. Seems like you usually do cute things, but leaned into Loona's more aggressive hellhound side here. It suits her. Well done.

>>6874564
If you just want tits I already posted some above.

>>6874570
Not just any tits, I want what are considered GOOD tits with GOOD areolas.

>>6874574
I mean, I'm a fan of the tits I draw, generally.

>>6874577
tits are fun to draw in general. I'm a huge faggot but I like drawing tits onto my boys on another layer before removing them for the final image

>>6874578
I've done the same with dicks lmao. Even though I much prefer girls in general.

>>6874581

>>6869780
This isn't advice or anything I was bored

Finished up this piece

Drawing with fever is fucking awful, 2/10 would not recommend.

>>6874927
You know why you're sick anon?
Karma.
You keep spamming us with that damn cute fox, making people want to draw her, and now I might draw her soon too! You must be stopped.

>>6874928
And I fucking wrote styck instead of stick.
GODS, WHY DO YOU HATE ME

It’s infectious.

>>6874969
Isn't this your second time?
One is bad enough...I'm afraid you're terminal.

I think find gross all of you, but I guess it fits here

>>6875071
>I think find gross all of you
Why? it's good.

>>6875071
Take it from me. If you stay here and entertain the idea of drawing furshit, you’ll probably enjoy it since drawing cartoons/Anthro is fun. But if you find these faggots gross, you will hate them through your entire stay here.

TRUST me. I hate these faggots so much that im straight up thinking of deleting my socials since my entire audience is composed of these same fucks.

If you hate it now, LEAVE. You’ve been warned.

Spectacular drawings by the way. Gmi.

>>6874969
Really cute anon!

>>6875084
WOAH

There I drew your stupid fox (poorly). Bonus points if you can name the reference.
Get better soon or whatever, it's not like I care!

>>6874927
and still better than me

>>6874590
Nonsence, this is great advice! Again, I've never done painting before, I need and I'll take anything I can get

>>6874927
Should be free, cause that pokemon is Nasty!! In the mean time, have this strange megaman cat character with tiddies.

>>6876207
Thanks! I don't know the reference, but love the pose.
>>6876716
Looks pretty nice! Needs a big robo tail.

>>6876831
She is a magical girl after all.

All lined up. Instead of choosing between thigh highs and half-boots I went with both

>>6874478
love how you stylized her face

>>6874927
can you draw her doing the kagurabachi pose with the stick? lmao (when you feel better that is)

t-thanks

Man hands are hard. Can someone help me with this? I'm trying to draw a kobold staring at a jewel or something, holding it in his claws. He's supposed to have four fingers. It doesn't need to be super realistic, and in fact, I was trying to envision something like old Warner Bros. cartoons.

>>6878117
What brush? I like the texture.

>>6878154
CSP's default design pencil.

>>6878161
ok now how do u get that in procreate :) thanks my love

>>6878176
I don't think you can, but I'm pretty sure Procreate has some good pencil brushes you can download. You'd have to look for the artists who use them.

sexooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

>>6875313
Seriously, I can't keep myself away from this shit. Everytime furfags disappoint me again, I think I walked away for good, and then I'm back a couple months later. Every time.
Anyway, here's my first attempt at a feathered dragon OC

>>6875313
The only appropriate state of being as a furry artist is a self-hating furry artist who takes advantage of furries for profit.

>>6878195
Any artists i've found that I liked their pencil brushes have it locked behind paywall unfortunately. If I was smart I could just try making my own

>>6878286
Unfortunately I don't have any advice on that front. I'm sure they're uploaded for free somewhere. But if it comes down to it, it might be worth a small fee.

>>6860752
hello, this is something im working on lemme know what you think

https://files.catbox.moe/mrlgd8.png
So how do I improve from here?

>>6860752
back to posting again :3333 missed yous :p

>>6878640
some textile collage :p

>>6878542
Comic looks promising. make sure the MC's hair patterns look consistent when facing the reader. And use a less saturated blue.

>>6878542
Nice paneling desu

>>6863938
Blog?!??! This is the best thing I've seen ever

I'm quite fond of these doodles I did on drawpile

need critique. it all looks ameteurish, i get that, but that shouldnt be any barrier to getting someone to cum. i need places i can go with it to make it hornie

>>6879347
SEXOOOOOOO

Got me an October kink brewing and I made this, will texture soon.

I am so frustrated with my art

>>6880401
How come? Looks pretty good to me.

>>6880417
it's just an illusion. I struggle heavily with every single picture, the poses I end up with are mostly the ones I could manage rather than the ones I wanted. I feel that despite drawing so much I still have 0 understanding of anything.

>>6880439
>I feel that despite drawing so much I still have 0 understanding of anything.
NTA but I feel that way a lot of the time too. Best you can do is instead of focusing on how far you are from where you want to be, take pride in what you can achieve. Maybe even watch other artists you know of draw on a stream, in /i/'s oekaki drawing mode or in a webm and then compare how your line confidence and the like compares to theirs. Even if they do it faster, they struggle at times just as much as you do.
Basically don't let the gay negative thoughts catch up.

>>6865429
Next time it'll take you 4 hours or less. Keep drawing.

>>6880451
>Basically don't let the gay negative thoughts catch up.
I'm trying, it's hard though. Sometimes I just feel like giving up

>>6880493
That's natural, and the best thing you can do is try to resist the urge to indulge those thoughts. Take a small break to do other things, go outside and take in the sun/wind, remind yourself of your successes, anything that counters your inner critic or distracts it from telling you you're doing shit is worth doing since it clears your mind and doesn't let the negative thoughts pile on. Being internally reasonable helps counter emotional negativity.

>>6880439
That sounds like impostor syndrome, friend, and it's something I struggle with too. But like the other guy said, you have to learn how to take pride in what you've done, and continue to learn. You'll never be perfect, but you're also never as bad as you make yourself out to be. Listen to >>6880569.

>>6880439
That's everything in life. And if you really let it go into a vacuum than one or two faggots can really fuck with you just be relentlessly calling everything you do shit.

>>6880569
>>6880648
>>6880657
thanks bros, I will try to deal and keep going

Little doodle! I think I made her too thicc.

>>6877561
I could give it a try!

You know why I love furries? The community.
No community shat on AI as hard as furries did.
The feeling of community as a furry is really great.

>>6881127
Okay? I got no take on it, but seeing the ai threads has been really odd. The technology is there and has proven to dish out some interesting works. But all the images look so goddamn fucking generic and boring. And this isn't the fault from the software, but the people putting in the prompts. Everyone has so many shitty ideas it makes me reflect back on things I called shit and realize it wasn't so bad after all. Ai-kun has some really low standards, but it actually gave me more courage to continue drawing and accepting my faults in my work.

I always draw my idiot kobold trying to be badass, but he's really just a dork who likes to appraise gems by looking (and sometimes tasting) them.
He can also tell what a mineral is by how it explodes.

I don't think I've ever seen Tango anthroified. Very cool. What function to the chest bumps serve?

Basic character design for something that's been on my mind for a while. This took me three attempts to get this uploaded. Here's the full pic here on Twitter.

Full image on twitter, holy shit uploading this is aids with cutting it down to be sure it doesn't go over the limit reeeeeee
https://twitter.com/HadrianHardrada/status/1711274348299067628

>>6881800
That's because it's a png. You don't need to use pngs unless you REALLY NEED lossless color quality, like for a professional photograph. But for a scanned, or in this case, photographed sketch, you just need jpeg.
Full quality jpegs are still best for most of your needs. You only get bad artifacts when you try to make a smaller picture bigger.

Cute goat btw

>>6881809
Actually, I need to correct myself. Because PNGs are lossless, they're better used for logos and charts and things like that, because while the quality is good, the file size is much, much larger. And the 'static' you might get in a jpeg is unnoticeable in something like a photograph.
So stick with jpgs unless you're making some kind of chart or presentation, is the general rule of thumb.
On another slightly related note, you don't need high DPI in your programs unless you're planning on printing the finished product out; DPI is an instruction for printers, and doesn't affect digital image quality.

>>6881809
>>6881813
Funniest thing is that most of my sketches are usually taken from my phone which are uploaded as jpegs to begin (especially when I upload them to discord to share with friends), so I don't know why this and like maybe two other pics got in as Pngs.

And thanks for complement, he's just a character for some project that's been in my head for a while now.

Neat style. Comes across like an 80's newspaper comic. I especially like the storefront shot. Candid drawings of buildings are great.

>>6881844
Well keep it up!

>>6881847
Hey thanks. I haven’t done a comic this long in a good while. And I’m glad you mentioned the building, I enjoy drawing architecture. It just doesn’t get much attention.

>>6881847
Thank you!

>>6881824
>>6881825
>>6881827
Incidentally the project is a comic as well. Largely inspired by Serial Experiments Lain and Paranoia Agent.

>>6881923
I wish you luck with that. A comic’s a big undertaking, one that I know I’m not capable of doing aside from short disconnected scenes like the ones I shared.

>>6881827
really cute, love the expressions and the final panel especially is full of life. keep your panel flow in mind towards the end of >>6881824, having the character walk right towards the final panel would suggest a nice continuous motion and eye flow for the reader

How do I add this kind of a 'film' to my drawings? There is like a subtle effect over the entire drawing.

>>6881956
Thank you! And yeah, I should’ve thought of that. My process is pretty ad hoc. Creating flow to subconsciously guide the reader is important not just for speech bubbles but the motion of the characters as well.

>>6881483
by any chance, was this inspired by that one tails picture hutting a fish?

>>6881969
I forgot the image like a moron

>>6881727
>What function to the chest bumps serve?
Das a good question.

>>6881969
>>6882006
It actually various from the software. In CSP there are images that can act as 'filters' but can even selected to have those images to become more transparent, giving that grain look.

>>6882006
>>6881969
You can use a noise filter, or place a film overlay as “soft light” in the layer function.

>>6881996
Erm, the what?

>>6882031
>>6882072
Thank you <3

Any thoughts or advice for the anatomy/appeal?

>>6882572
Study more, basically. While it's not bad, there's room for improvement in almost every area, and the only fix there is to keep practicing.
What sort of goal do you have with your art long-term?

>>6882585
My goal is to git gud.
I know I'm far from good and I need to study more, I was kind of asking for advice more specific to the drawing I posted,

>>6882593
It's just a simple sketch, which is why the advice that can be offered on it could be vague by nature.
My advice is, be proud that you finished a drawing, be proud that it looks pretty good for what it is, and continue to study and improve. If you want some specific areas to look at, I'd recommend studying skulls of the style you want to draw (if anthro, animal skulls, but know how the human skull works isn't bad either), and nailing down proportions. Learning how muscles and fat lie on the skeleton can really enhance how they're portrayed in drawing and painting as well.

>>6882603
Thanks anon, I'll take a look at some muscles and skeletons.

do you have a new Twitter or other place where you post your drawings? if you're the person I'm thinking of who had their Twitter deleted a few months ago, i miss your stuff

Boobs are okay. Fix the arm though.
