Trying to draw cute moe characters for a project. Any feedback on what I can do to improve?

I'm normally used to drawing mecha, armored vehicles and monsters but not too familiar with drawing cute characters though I'm trying to improve for the project I'm working on.

Study the human figure, then find the proportions that work with moe shit while holding onto what you learned from studying real figures.

>> No.2137055

While basic proportions for humans are important, I notice that most anime style characters and even video game characters are usually not very realistic in proportions (some sort of exaggeration usually is set).

That said, is there a particular proportion error on the character?

She is missing the sideplane of the head, neck is too thick, she has a bulbous head and face is too flat.

She is also out of focus and has a thousand yard stare with a blank expression. She is smiling but her eyes are not.

>> No.2137067

Okay I will try to thin down the face a little more.

As for the eye thing I agree but I'm not sure what is the solution. Is it just the center is too dark or rather I should add more light points on the eye?

Let me get this straight. Are you the one who wrote that string of insults there? Do you think anyone would take you seriously if you talk like that? If you wanted to be vicious to get your point across, there are better ways. You only ended up spluttering and sounding ridiculous. This has nothing to do with hugboxes, wtf? To be clear OP's art is not my cup of tea. What am I expecting from this board, really.

Made a few minor tweaks with highlights and probably done for this character...

that said, for future characters I feel that there is something slightly off with the face, but I'm not sure what it is. The frustrating thing for anime art with faces for me is it technically isnt perspectively correct (anatomical with real life is irrelevant in this case). This is why they look slightly off when its CG or as a figurine...

She still has a blank thousand yard stare.
Look at some reference for smiling and notice how the muscles change the form of the face. Then you can translate it to stylised shapes.

Looks good for your purpose, OP. Yeah, that's just the way anime is stylized. An alternative is to go for a more realistic look while still retaining elements of the style. Think Sakimichan and her ilk.

>> No.2138873

>>2137045
Things that come to mind are more eye sparkles, less spiky hair.

And next time try to make the face a little smaller compared to the head. The fat legs want me to fuck her rather than hug her, this is no hentay son.

Also check "how to draw moe style" book, it's on g.e-hentai.org I think beside many others.

Legs look gay, one is bent the wrong way, other (raised) has a weird perspective and no depth. Feet have a bleh looking form
