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!

Most mainstream anime styles are based on all the characters having identical and rigid facial features.

Finding ways to convey personality and emotion through facial expressions and body language should be your true challenge. It's also not something any of the artists you mentioned are very good at, which imo contributes far more to their art looking "samey".

I think your drawing is too rigid. Probably too late to correct at this stage, but even characters comprised of (mostly) robotic or solid parts should have some "bounce" to them. A good mix of straights, C and S curves to emphasize flow keeps things interesting, even if your character is wearing armor or has robot hands.

Interesting butt design to say the least.

>>2996715
This color would work better on a smaller, less detailed (and more controlled) drawing. Here it kinda gets lost because there's so much going on over a wide area, and it's hard to make out.

>>2996796
I love it anon, but honestly >>2994634 version is significantly better and here's why -
You used straights on her chest and raised her shoulders which makes her expression more uptight (better). You also have better hand gestures and the fabric of her skirt has more thickness and weight to it. Her butt is popped out more and reveals her thighs better.

The final drawing is better rendered, but lost some of its former gesture and appeal.
To prevent this, never trace your sketch, but rather use it as a guide. Always retain the emotion and mood of your drawing, even when inking.
That being said I really like the piece, keep up the good work.

>>2994860
I had the same problem, so I scanned the paper texture I used to work on, used it as an underlay and got the most grainy pencily kind of brush I could find. It helps at least for the period of getting cozy with your tablet.

>>2995169
Looks like a paper cut-out.
You have to change your way of thinking from symbols to form drawing and to achieve that, you need drawabox, loomis, dynamic sketching and so on, not a redline.

I have humor of a 12 year old.

The thing is her butt looks like a nutsack. I'm not sure how to help you with this, probably just look at some actual butt, draw the pelvis first, realize that it's just two muscles and a bit of fat, there's nothing that would hold it in space like this.

I wanted to include all my points in a redline, but compared to your sketch I ended up butchering the gesture even more. Oh well.

Though what I think looks better in mine are hands and the skirt.
With hands, reference this >>2994634, you managed beautiful silhouettes there, so keep that and offset the fingers a bit so they don't look like sausages.
I tried to make the hair a bit less flowing to make her look more embarrassed, but now I'm not sure whether it's working.

Anyways, good luck with the drawing and have a nice day.

exaggeration is all well and good but you oversimplified the musculature
look how flat the chest on yours was compared to how actual pecs bulge

also it kind of works on an exaggerated design but forearms should be longer than upper arms:

If doing straight-up studying is too hard then just use a reference when making the art you want to make, though that can really slow down the work flow.
You can learn a surprising amount from observing the thing without ever drawing the thing too.

>it kind of works on an exaggerated design but forearms should be longer than upper arms

unless you're talking in reference to foreshortening the upper arm towards the viewer in that very specific angle of that image, then no, the forearm is slightly shorter than the upper arm. if you bend your arm up all the way so that the hand is near your shoulder you'll see your wrist comes in just below the shoulder, tho one of the trickiest things to keep in mind in regard to proportions is that the length of two appendages that connect at a joint overlap to varying degrees based on the type of joint they share.

>>2997370
if you're gonna exaggerate it's usually better to try and go overboard on your first pass! you can always dial it down after wards, and going crazy and being loose can help you discover things you never would have thought of otherwise. studies may seem boring when you're starting out, but try to think of them as just opportunities to make new and interesting drawings! draw a bunch of crocodiles, then when you go to draw a crocodile pirate you'll be able to use what you learned from those sketches to build a more convincing and dynamic design instead of a muscular person with a vague lizard head. it's like looking over the rules to a cool board game, if you don't read them then you'll never get to play!

The difference being that earthbound faces are cute, the one in your drawing isn't.
Yours has a huge nose and mouth, the earthbound characters have small features instead. The proportions aren't the same so it looks ugly as a result. Use a reference next time.

>>2997508
Disagree. The wings are sloppy, look at the lineart, it's sketchy and unfinished looking. I'd say the hair is the thing that stands out, it looks like time was spent on it while everything else was rushed (just look at the feet).

I'm working on this one.

Have to clean up the foreground rendering before I finish the characters. It's just a basic sketch for now.

Working within the constraints of a photographic scene is interesting... I used the tiles as a grid and the half-wall for scale.

Unless there's huge errors that I can't see, clothes and colors are next...

Thanks for the crit. You're right about the eyes, now I see it. I really should be more careful when drawing eyes.
It was more a sketch than something finished so that would be why it's messy. I don't think I really understand how the skull is deformed, I need to study more.

I hate to like... be the one to tell you this but every professional artist uses reference.

I do not copy from a single photo like kr0n [pic related] and the like. He takes a photo and just copies it in manga form.

The way I work, I normally, I sketch out and try to get it as good as I can from imagination and then I go through my reference folders to find photos similar to what I have sketched out. This could be a dozen reference images for just one pose. I might find an image for the hands, another for the hair, another for the face, one for the colors, one for the general lighting, and another for the legs.

For the bodies, I focus more on the overall contours rather than anatomy/muscles/skeleton. I treat the human body more like a height map.

Hair just takes time. A llooottttt of time.

Not him, but something I notice about his art style is there's a lot of "implied" forms. You basically hint at a form without actually drawing out all of it, and let the brain fill in the gaps. Notice how delicately the inner surfaces are handled in his drawings - almost all of it is imagined space, with the bare minimum of lines needed to guide the eye.

This is obviously only possible with a good knowledge of form and anatomy, but when done right, it creates a very visually pleasant effect.

Aww, thanks anon. That's one of the nicest thing anyone has said to me in a lloooonnnggg timmmeeee.

I take a lot of inspiration from Charles Dana Gibson when it comes to line/ink work. The more details you put in, the harder and harsher the subject looks, so if you want to paint a pretty lady you want to keep the lines to a minimum.

>>2999318
Kinda like this. I'll draw all the contours of the body based on the form and then go back and keep only the lines which have the sharpest incline.

It might help if you flip your canvas/look at it through the mirror every once in a while. Can you see how fucked the hat is now simply because it's mirrored?

>that nose
Consider, perhaps, pic related, and the fact that you need to actually study Loomis/the head in general unironically
>>3000896
Trash this and start over, you have no idea what you're doing. Break down the body into shapes and don't half-ass lineart. You can't think of it as "tracing over sketch", you have to, dare I say it, FEEL the FORM and draw actual 3d shapes instead of sloppy symbols.
Also it's better to draw big and then resize the lineart. SAI's 0.1 size pen is fugly as shit, so quit using it like you are.

I really like it. For someone who hasn't drawn in a while, you look like you've been drawing all the time.

Do you have any specific studies/recommendations for a beginner for constructing (stylized anime) faces? I am practicing (Loomis, draw a box, gesture drawing picures I've stored up, anything I can find exercises with) but I want to sketch things to keep motivated while doing it and I don't feel like I am improving when I then try to apply it.

I'm especially having difficulty with front facing (not 3/4 view) faces looking off to one side. If I use rulers and perspective tools/guides I can correct some of my mistakes such as one eye being too big, elippses being off, jaw lines being uneven, and so forth, but then it becomes very stiff.

Don't worry man, she may look like little Constanze, bot actually it's his OC named Konstanze, who despite being 21 looks like 10 because of Turner syndrome.
As you can see, it's quite alright, thought police can take a break today.
