Holy crap that rim light is god awful. Rim light should be subtle and sticking to the planes of her face only slightly, not covering her entirety. Why is the light in the interior of her hair? It should be on the outside hairs. Tone it down. If there is such a ridiculous amount of rim light then it should be hitting her cheek on the left as well and her brow bone. Tsk.

Increase the brightness and contrast a lot, it's hard to even see what's going on.

After turning up the brightness in photoshop: there's no clear horizon line, or your character and background are using completely different vanishing points, or something. Basically your perspective is funky.

There's nothing wrong with starting over.

It's hard to tell whether or not your foreground character's legs would be clipping through the ground or floating above them. At first glance it looks like she and the viewer would potentially be standing in a hole in the ground, but it's impossible to tell, because you don't really have a perspective to clarify that.

Like someone already said, your background is fucked. The door looks like it's built for midgets, the colours are too dark to see anything, and the girl is too big to fit with the scenery.

For the girl I'd make her forehead shorter, keeping in mind that the eyes are at the midway point of the head. Clean up the lines of her hair, and make the colour match the lighting of your background. Make the neck longer, fix the shoulders of the cloak/coat she's wearing since they're too stiff and wide, they should drape to fit hers. Her tits need to be more even, and farther away from the collar bone, and the shirt she's wearing is too form fitting, it shouldn't show her exact stomach muscles, just the shadows of it. And lastly, the arm hanging down is too short.

Sure. Personally I find his method of drawing heads essential, definitely study that. But aside from that you should just scower the net for photos of skeletons and bones and muscles and all sorts of references and just find a way to enjoy studying it.

wow, something great coming.
However it feels a bit flat for now, the girl also doesn't look like she's occupying a lot of space, pay attention to that.
To give it volume I would make the "background" curve around her (maybe with something getting out of the shadow to grab her?) so that it may give a better sense of space.

making the background curve around her is a good idea. The "empty" space is something I am experimenting with(added the dude to see what happened,looked too messy and chaotic so took him out.)

It looks like you could set up a mariachi band under there and still have room for the refreshments. He'd look less like a tent if his legs weren't spread out so rigidly and in a perfect rectangle.

The head and neck show promise in terms of anatomy, but I think you should rethink the pose. Look at some real dog pics.

aside from that the rendering on the face is pretty good, I think you should pay more attention to value placement, with areas like her nostrils and eyes being mat black for no reason. Also your line weight id pointlessly hard on some places, like the shirt and the uh, the thing on her head.

I posted this in the beginner thread but didn't get any responses. Just wondering if this is an effective way to study.

I'm trying a new method of figure drawing, though I don't know if it will be effective or not. Basically, I copy the model to the best of my ability, and then afterwards I lay my copy over the master and using a lightbox I go over the master copy's lines and make notes of where my drawing was wrong and how I can fix them. Later in the day I will try to redraw those poses from memory, trying to incorporate the corrections I made for myself.

I have no idea how much this will help me learn, though. I'm pretty decent at drawing single body parts, like arms and legs, but full bodies usually end up too long or too wide and have proportional issues.

Posting cute art from pixiv.

Don't know, probably will to a certain extend, be sure to not copy but understand the subject, big difference, always a good idea to see what you did wrong, and the lightbox pretty much tells you what you want to know

I think if you're decent at drawing single body parts, you should be focusing on slowly putting them together and do gesture drawings as well

too bad about the face, the motorcycle looks sick (and probably a paintover of a 3d model)

I wanted to do detailed studies of individual body parts, but I haven't had luck finding an image pack of arms and legs and chests and junk. I could just study them from a full model, but.

This artist draws a lot of girls with cars and bikes. It's kinda his thing.

Gel pen is fine, it gets the job done.

I don't recommend going neet (been there done that). It's good to have something to do besides drawing, have some balance in your life. Just because you have 8 more free hours for the day doesn't mean you'll actually use that to draw more. But that's just me. I've always focused better on drawing when I had a job or something else to do. I've also seen the same happen with other artists. They think they'll focus better because they're not tied down by a job, but then they just end up playing more videogames or slacking off. If you hate your job, either cut the hours or find something else that you can tolerate, then just manage your time better.

Eyes are too wide apart looking at different directions. The irises are misaligned, also too wide apart. She's staring into nothing, no particular direction it seems.

That mouth is too wide, stretching way past the lips. Lips are too thin, makes her look old. The jaw/space under her cheeks is too narrow. Her chin looks elongated as a result.

Her lips are too far down from her nose, that or her nose is not low enough. The bridge of her nose looks flat, it needs more shadow. Not sure where your primary light source is coming from.

Stick with it. I think you just need to adjust the position of certain features of the face to make it look fine.

If you're gonna restart, get a good line sketch of the face down first. so that it will already be correct when you paint over it.

To add to this, >>2581979 , do what I (>>2582001) do when painting delicate things such as faces: Get your line art down to perfection, and keep your lineart separate from everything and overtop of your other layers. Finely fill in color blocks on a layer beneath the lines, then LOCK that layer so you don't have to worry about ruining your edge and go crazy with big brushes further refining the colors. Then lower the opacity of the line art layer so that its just barely visible, then go about rendering on the color layer. Eventually you will be able to turn off the line layer all together and it will look good.

It's not quitting to start a piece over.

You're on the right track, but in one point perspective, all of the lines should be pointing toward the focal point (including the minor details).

Any scene like this, you should extend out past your intended canvas to properly position your character. Even if you aren't going to include it the entire area in your final image just doodle in the rest of her body. This way you can be sure the character is actually where you want her (and the right size).

You should start over with better construction.

I just realized I didn't explicitly point this out, and it's definitely worth explicating: the horizon line is your eye level.

The horizon line is the VIEWER'S eye level.

It seems like we're supposed to be looking slightly down at the figure, but her eyes are above the viewer's eyes, which mean she's taller than the viewer.

This is why it seems like your character and the viewer must be standing in a hole, it doesn't make any sense for the viewer and foreground character to be about half as tall as a dumpster.

For fun, mostly. I was only ever good at drawing cartoony humans and environments, realistic stuff is too complex for me. I've been trying to improve since I was kicked off of /v/'s drawthreads for shitty art, that's why I asked for a critique.

You really should start over, you'll be happier you did. There's really too much to fix such as the character's height, the values, the perspective lines etc. And you'll run into more problems if say, you raise your character up a few feet so she's proper height, then you would essentially be looking up at her from waist height but you've drawn her from eye level so you'd have to re draw huge portions of her anyway. If you lower the background you'll have to go in and literally re paint everything to match the new perspective.

Just restart. Think about lighting and how you can silhouette your character because everything was dark in your original except for this blisteringly white hair which doesn't look natural, it looks like it's illuminated, and what the hell is going on with the purple stuff? I can't rationalize it.

I say this to a lot of people on here, you're biting off more than you can chew, you'd be much happier with a simple background (like a brick wall or something, and simple lighting so that you can better focus your attention on learning things in bite sized chunks. Right now you're spreading yourself too thin into territory you have no place being in. It'll lead to a bad image and you won't learn much from it.

That's because you don't understand the underlying structure. Study that (bones first then muscles) and it will imensely help your figure study and drawing from memory.

Being able to draw something from memory isn't so much memorizing every single curve and dimple of a figure, it's understanding what is making those curves and dimples.

>I was only ever good at drawing cartoony
I don't mean this in a derogatory way, but you're not good yet.

Work toward a better understanding of all aspects of art and you'll produce better work. If you're only working on your "cartoony style" what you're really doing is building a symbol library in your mind that's only going to hinder your progress later on.

If you actually understand perspective, proportions, and color theory to a reasonable extent, you can mix things up and make cartoony shit that's actually decent looking.

Do studies of simple shapes and human figures. Read and do the practice work in Loomis' books.

>Some minor critique:
After getting past how distracting the faces are, the hands and feet are the most glaring mistake. The hands actually look decent for for a cartoon, but both the hands and feet in both your images aren't symmetrical (they're different sizes and shapes - the thumbs attach at different points on each hand), you could improve this by doing studies of 3d shapes.

For the love of Loomis, don't put eyes on top of hair. If you want eyes that big, make the hair fit properly around that, at least let the hair overlap the eyes, goddamn.

I like the concept in your second image. If she's supposed to be a robot/android thing disguised as a human chick, you may want to make that exceedingly visually obvious to the viewer. In general, the concept you're trying to convey should read from a distance (or in a thumbnail), especially in more cartoony content where you usually have greater leeway where suspension of disbelief is concerned. If it's supposed to be a secret that she's an android, then there's no point in showing the android aspects at all. Right now, the image on the right could go either way.

you know, if she's anatomically closse to a human, what's poking out of her buttcheeks would be her asshole, or I imagine her intestine. Its' not sexy, it's creepy.

Other than that, it's a rather lovely sketch; I find the face features a bit weird, overly cartoony. Eye and mouths are gigantic, and I don't know I find them disturbing.

This is experimental, so make a hard-copy save: But try increasing the contrast by a lot, really focus on the two really bright lines of light, and go for chromatic aberration on the sides.

Try picking very light shades of blue to accent eyes and cape, and try forcing forms more.

My two cents. Although I really like it as it is now.

It's baffling isn't it? It's like along with the game being released people just spawned out of thin air with the soul purpose of jacking off to their art of the game's characters.

Feet and his left hand look a little small, push the peronus longus and the flexor group out a bit more and I think his left leg/arm will look a bit more proportional as well. I think you already seem to understand how your rending is going to work, but I see inconsistent lighting on the top plate of armour on the right leg. Maybe straighten your edges and add a bit of reflected light to the inside of the left arm?

Up your contrast. You can throw in some jet black in there, in the nooks and crannies of the armour, not too much though. Let's say, make 5% of your total value range be jet black. And then conversely add some brighter highlights. Using both of those you should be able to add a lot of detail without actually adding detail if that makes sense.

Its stomach looks great but the lighting on the torso and neck don't seem to quite follow the roundness of the shapes. Same with its right leg, seems like there should be a bit more definition in there, which you could easily add without it being distracting. Just add some lighting that's a few degrees above black.

I don't know, what's your workflow?
generally I generate a 2-3 colors that i like palette, then put a photo with similar colors that I blur, pick 2-3 photos that have nice colors to have things fit my ideas, then play with HSV/levels/color balance on shadows/highlight until happy.

I usually just start with a story or an idea of what I want to make, sketch it out and make a greyscale (Usually already have colors in mind), I wanted something toxic, so I played around a bit with the filters in photoshop and got something like this and worked from there to try and make it work, once I've got a base to play with I do some composition and such and pretty much give it a real story

main reason why I'm doing this piece is because I never do illustrations, so I am making up a workflow as I go

Your workflow sounds like it works tho, so Ima give that a go

Well obviously, but its not like I want to go through every line I already drew and redraw them to get them solid again. Usually I'll just go through either levels or curves in adjustments and make it darker and brighter as necessary, but its an imperfect solution. Maybe if I scan at a much larger size and scale it down?

>>2583585

I'm thinking its probably both. I've been using my family's scanner and I didn't stop to check if I needed to wipe off the glass or anything, and I might just be drawing kind of lightly.

Well I've got a tablet and I love using it, its just that in practice I end up drawing a lot more when I've got something physical to draw with. Not to mention I never found a way to do linework in photoshop in a way that I liked.

>>2583594
Actually I trace the digital sketch in pencil on paper then do the lines with a bic crystal ballpoint. To get a crisp scan I open "levels", push the right marker a little bit towards the middle till the texture of the paper is gone, then push the middle marker towards the right till the lines are as dark as I'd want them. I then clean up any mistakes with the brush tool and might move things about a little bit.

It's a bit of work, but I feel like the final result is better than if I had done it digitally, and with the whole hand to eye issue eliminated I think it takes me pretty much the same amount of time.

For now I just tape the paper to my screen then trace, gets me a clearer image than printing, then I hardly see any of the lines without a light box.

See, this levels/curves thing is exactly what I've been doing. And I agree, I really just enjoy drawing lines traditionally. It's faster and more convenient, I just need to get a good scanning and digital editing system going.

I think >>2583589 is probably right, I just need to be working with thicker lines. I'm not using a ballpoint, I'm using a nice little pentel stylo I picked up. I used to use uniball signo ballpoints when I sketched, just because I always had them handy, but their lines were too thick for my liking. This stylo gives me much more lineweight variation, but then I guess that, yeah, I'm just drawing too thin. I'll try another sketch or too with thicker lines and if it doesn't work, I'll pick up some new pens to investigate.

What kind of paper do you use? I'm on strathmore mixed media right now.

I'm gonna try to succeed in explaining this where others have failed.

Basically... the hand is MUCH closer to the camera than the head, the hand is generally big enough to cover the face from the chin to above the eyes. So the hand should be about 2x bigger than it is right now.

pic related: probably still isn't big enough, but it's closer to what it should be

Anime, obviously, though I'm going for that "learned to draw realism first then did anime" look. They're supposed to be15-ish tho i'm making their age a little ambiguous since... the requester asked for them to wear a skin tight shiny suit.

I guess you mean't NOT? Anyways, my two cents is that if you're drawing someone floating, maybe it'd help if you pose the feet in a way that they don't look like they're in the same plane. They'd probably be hanging, or even a bit up, that's your choice. Like when you're sitting on something too high and your feet are in the air.

These are nice.

Also lined paper is good for practice. Better, possibly, actually, since tracing over the 1cm proportions between one line and the other might instill a better sense of distance and a more consistent imagination of the canvas size. Also it means you're drawing on the go with whatever you have which is a major plus.

I'd appreciate some general feedback/response/impressions on this.

>>2584066
Crabs usually have one claw bigger than the other. This could be further emphasized by varying sizes of crystals as mentioned here. >>2584156 Maybe instead of emphasizing it you could try some big crystals on the small claw and small ones on the big claw. That'd be somethin alright.

Not too cluttered at all. You could get away with much more honestly. I love the detail of the armor, yet the over all simplicity in her outfit (at least compared to many other depictions of fantasy angels, with the giant fancy armor and all that). It gives it a sense of honesty.

Thanks, I honestly can't see how to improve the arm though. It's like I'm at my limit or something, it's not a fresh eyes issue because I left it more than 12 hours ago and I still can't see it right now, for sure I "feel" something wrong and you've noticed but I can't put my finger on what is wrong or how to fix it.

It looks generally too short. From the shoulder to the elbow should reach to the about bottom of the ribcage when arms are at the side for example. Even if you're going for a certain kind of style, short arms usually are seen as "undesirable". You should definitely look up a reference if you're feeling stuck.

Would be nice if you could see the role of the monsters in the picture. For example If they are her slaves make it clear that they are chained down, if they are her tamed guardians show that they are aware of her and protecting her and if they are her mount you could show the saddle that she descended from. Right now it looks like shes oblivious to the monsters that are walking towards her without us knowing why and does not really tell a cool story.

Very unique and brave composition, I like it.
One thing I notice though is a slight imbalance by facing the rightmost head the opposite way of the character, while the character and head on the left are facing the same way. The left side of the image in general feels way more natural than the right.
Also maybe try to separate them enough so that there is some space in between, at least enough so that the space is bigger than that on the left side of the biker.
