This thread is meant for artists who might want to try to make anime works in-between their studies. It is strongly recommended that you use this thread in conjunction with learning the elements and fundamentals of art. You can also discuss the visual elements of various professional artists as well if you keep it relatively articulate and civil.

Submit your drawings, receive feedback or critique others! Share your knowledge and remember to thank those who've critiqued or red-lined your drawings. Most importantly, have fun!

I kind of like this anon. Your figure and perspective need work thought i like the over all style desu. I think you should study anatomy. There are many issues with the body and her head looks oddly pasted on. I wish I could give you more crit but I'm not sure where to begin (there are problems with her arms / hip area / overall disjointment), just do some figure studies and you'll get there.

This. All you faggots need to critique like anon did. If you can't make your critique specific and constructive then don't bother coming up with one. Just telling them that they're scrublords and saying harsh words isn't enough. Try to actually use your brains and come up with areas the artist is proficient at as well as the ones they aren't at and point them in the right direction. That's what constructive criticism is, why does nobody read the sticky or OP god damnit

I dunno, using pitch black like this is bad in color pieces. I was that guy who painted the trees and rocks that got in the last thumbnail btw. If you study color more, the shadows in that piece would be more of a dark desaturated maroon since objects lit by yellowish white light(the sun) tend have the colors that get higher in brightness go towards yellow and desaturate while shadows tend towards purple and desaturate as well.

yeah I have, thanks! I actually have been trying to draw thicker necks (as in those drawings) since I tend too draw too thin necks, still a sucker for long necks though.

Ever think about trying out different types of eyes, robotanon. And maybe trying out hair so everyone isn't bald.

[Anonymous No.2829853]

>>2829843
Yeah I have actually on pencil and paper (trying different eyes). Funny story actually, I used to just used completely different styles of eyes for different characters but then my humans didn't look like the belonged to me as their robot overlord, you know what I'm saying? I tried going for one style but for one that could allow for variations like the old guy's eyes for example. I also play around with the eyelash thickness and roundness of shapes for the eyes. I'll still use different eyes for radically different characters but I think I've found a pretty decent solution to the problem of sameface.

[Anonymous No.2829869]

>>2829843
I purposefully avoided hair to make sure I understood how to draw heads right via the methods on Fun With A Pencil (Loomis is a pretty cool human). I think I've improved as now I always see whenever I make the cranium too big or the mouth too low(looking back on my picture again I can already see some mistakes that I might've been too lazy too fix) and although I think I still need a some fine tuning on some angles, I think I know what I'm doing and can make the face decent enough without wanting to short circuit myself (although for extreme gay angles I gotta finetune with reference). However, if anon says I can move on to hair I guess I can put heads on the memory disk for now and practice them in conjunction with the whole body.

I've gone through/dabbled in most of the books in the sticky, but the books I found the most helpful were Hampton's figure drawing and Scott Robertson's how to draw. Applied what I learned through relevant studies and practiced with deliberation and intent. Try to draw cute girls from immigration, look like shit, want to kill myself, back to studying. Such is life.

[Anonymous No.2829932]

>>2829908
I practiced 4 hours doing studies but once I learned how to construct I started to break down and draw the people around me in secret. I could make them realistic but do the inherent nature of how people move all the fucking time I had to resort back to my anime style to capture them. I think I've gotten bored of realism for humans though, I'm now honing in on the anime trash and now I have downloaded most of Vilppu's power onto my hard drive. Now I must apply it to my anime humans and my task will be complete. Robot anon will now resume his studies now, as the mere act of drawing itself has become entertainment for him.

The thing I'm trying to nail down is how much of the sphere I need to cut off from the sides for the planes. I know what I'm doing, it's just going to take a lot of time and practice to learn

Save for having some other goal in mind like climbing the social ladder etc. /ic/ is the conservative's answer to tumblr - an art forum for the engineer. A style thread... tell me, I like the guy personally(and I'm sorry for using you in this example but I have to), but does firez strike anyone as having a style? Really?

Robot anon here, and although I am still educating myself in the animes myself I can tell you that what you need is proper fundamentals. Try checking out Fun With a Pencil it is actually very forgiving for what you're trying to do. But with other than that I do have some specific tips I can give you:
1: Your heads might have a little bit too much at the top. Try shortening them a bit.
2:You are not hue shifting nor changing the saturation your colors when you darken them, which makes them look dead and lifeless especially for the skin. Skin actually reddens and gets more saturated the darker it gets because of how the light enters the skin and reflects some of the red from the blood when it bounces back out. Most of the time (when the sun isn't down or is in sunset or sunrise) the sun emits a bright yellowish white light. Basically, what colors when exposed to light will go towards yellow white on the color wheel and the colors that are darker and in shadow will go towards blueish purple (because of the ambient blue light of the sky). If this sounds confusing, watch these videos and try color picking photographs or color pieces that you like the colors in. Be sure to watch the color box and color wheel when you do this and notice the direction the color picker in both them change towards. You will be suprised in how the actually move.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3NhiGKgd14&t=1216s Check this one out first, most important one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alx-H_Rmpvw Check this one out for colors that don't burn your eye out.

i feel like a lot of the body is very 2D and flat. theres not a lot of structure to it--especially in the torso. the legs look too small and stubby, and the arms are different lengths with the one on the right being shorter. The background also feels like a mess of random things put together and is distracting.

your colours on the other 2 drawings look muddy. shading with black is not a good idea.

you should always learn from real people even if making something stylized. Just because its anime doesnt mean it has zero basis from real life. I suggest you use refrences and learn more anatomy starting with basic human proportions (where do hands reach down when at the side, how long the thigh is etc) also learn some colour theory/colour wheel

I use Clip Studio Paint and I use the Paint and Apply brush for basically all my shading. It is cool because if you swirl it around a bit it will blur the edges like a and if you press hard and slow it will produce a harder edge. For really soft gradients I use a custom brush that I downloaded from the new material downloader Clip Studio has built in. I think it was called Uneven Layering brush or something.

Also check those ellipses on the train. They should align with the minor axis but you drew them perfectly horizontal.

This is very nice. How long have you been drawing?

On a daily basis I'd say 4 years

Robot anon has only been drawing daily for about 3 months now and only 1 month of serious study. I think you will definitely make it if you keep practicing like that, robot anon believes in you.

If you're going to add a lensflare, i suggest you paint it yourself or get a custom brush for it.Also you should learn about materials and lighting before just slapping one on your painting cus right now it looks wrong.

Her breasts are different sizes with her left one being bigger.If you want to practice only foreshortening, then you should've just used a basic manikin drawing with no shading or lighting effects.

And another thing, try to get your image to read well as a thumbnail i.e. make it easy to see what you're painting even before adding detail. This should be done in the early stages.

I love the rounded forms and her coat. I pretty much like her whole outfit.
