Resize your pic next time. Your highlights are way too close to the shadows, which is most apparent on her right leg. Use midtones instead as you transition towards highlights, because as it stands right now, she looks very boxy.

I would say that your shadows need to have a darker value. Or you could make the backgrounds value darker to push forward the character. Right now everything seems a bit too bright.

[Anonymous No.3246039]

Thanks for the crits, I think I'lI call this done.
Dunno, looks kind of bland, I must've lost some of the gesture when shuffling all the parts around..

Also first time OP pic, thanks guys. You're the worst and I love you all.

>>3245737
It's okay anon, that's normal. What's important is that you enjoyed the process - fall in love with it, that's the only part that you can't learn from books.
What the other anon says is true, you might like 1 in 10 or even 1 in 20, but understand that the ones you don't like are necessary to appreciate the little gems by contrast.
Enjoy the process, that's the key.

>>3246011
The linework is really tight, but the drawing itself feels a little awkward, maybe before you do the actual thing, try a little thumbnail to figure out what goes where.
In a small format, all the detail vanishes and you'll easily notice what's important - the S curve in her pose, the weight on her hip, the negative spaces that make her silhouette read. Then it's easy to exaggerate those features and keep them in mind.

[Anonymous No.3246046]

>>3246039

I thumbnailed it before I went in, but I'm honestly just bad with the human body and posing in general. It's better now than it used to be, but progress is slow.

I enjoy doing the machine aspects of them more than the person, things like turrets and anti-aircraft guns come naturally to me, hips do not.

[Anonymous No.3246057]

>>3246046
I see.
The viewer is actually very little concerned about whether they're looking at a hip or a gun turret, they just care about whether it's an appealing, readable shape and whether it benefits or throws off your overall composition.

Here's an example of what I meant, the thing is like 250px wide, but I can already plan ahead, where is the tension, where is a stretch, what shape would be the most appealing for the raised leg, for example. I can make changes without any commitment.

A god-tier advice I once received was that the drawing process is broken into several stages, each being less important than the one before.
That means the least important are details, while the most important is the first idea, the big composition.

>>3245790
I'll break it down into two factors for you, one is physical and one is mental.
First you have to train your muscles to do what you expect of them, that involves confidence and line quality exercises (Dynamic sketching, Scott Robertson or some book on industrial design sketching)
Then there's a change from drawing lines on flat paper to using lines to pull form out of the paper, as if it was a 3D space - it's a change in your way of thinking.
Put down a couple circles and draw lines over them as if they were spheres, be very focused and try to feel the surface curving under the tip of your pencil.

[Anonymous No.3246088]

>>3246011

I'm not super great, so take this with a grain of salt.

If you cover the hips downward, it doesn't look half bad, maybe a bit static like you said, but there's something funky going on with the lower half-- Something with how you constructed it compared to the upper half of the body.

I'm bad at explaining things, so I sketched over it to try and show how I would have done it, maybe this'll help more.

Eh, I tried.

I definitely ruined the pose they had going, looking back at it, but I still think redoing the legs with more depth and definition is what'll help the image the most.

I'll go study some more before I give any more critiques.

[Anonymous No.3246150]

>>3246106
Why do people always dismiss any redline that gets posted? It's meant to give a different idea, not complete your work.

>>3246088
To that i personally like the more straight line usage, it always gives things more structure to your characters. But some people like really round curves, so it's really up to the original artist's opinion.

[Anonymous No.3246158]

>>3246150

I mean, I already have no idea what I'm doing, so I welcome redlines.

[Anonymous No.3246162]

>>3246094

You know, I tried increasing the thickness of the external lines at first, and it just looked "off" if that makes any sense.

I think I just need to find the correct balance, but its hard to keep the lines a consistent weight when you're just using the pen tool and eraser.

[Anonymous No.3246202]

I'm trying to transition from a line-only autist to being well rounded. I'm having trouble with transition from highlights to shadows in round shapes and eyeballing value ranges. I'm sure it'll get better with more studies and practice, but is there any specific advice d/ic/ks could give me?

[Anonymous No.3246211]

>>3246162
You'd have a much easier time adjusting lineweight if you used a partially opaque brush, but that'd change the way the lines looked.
If you're gonna keep using a solid pen tool, I don't think there's a way around it other than exaggerating. Your thick lines become extra thicc and your thin lines become open.

You have several choices: grind more studies to further improve your anatomy, do master studies of artists that you want to learn from, or challenge yourself with something completely different. If you feel averse to doing any of these, then it sounds like you just need a breather, which is always good to take every now and then.

Either way, the shirt looks wrong because of the stretch lines in his armpits - they show tension and would be correct if he had his shirt tucked in, but right now it just hangs loose. No reason for tension.
The other reason is the bottom ellipse of the shirt, it's drawn from below when really we see it from above.

Fair enough, but purple shadows go with yellow light, not green/cyan. The shifts are not this dramatic, especially on human skin - it's partially translucent, which lights up all the shadows, i.e. the changes will be very subtle.
Look at art of Incase, dude leaves the skin almost uniform value and it looks fantastic.

That being said, what you're doing is correct - experimenting, trying things out. Just be sure to come back to real life to check your work, fantasy settings can only sell crazy stuff 'cause at least the physics are based in this world, which makes it believable.

First redraw that supermario cap, make a proper police cap. Try to centre the tie, I made the hands smaller just for some cosmetic adjudment, they aren´t too much big but big hands are more a masculine thing in my mind.
The articulations are well placed but work a little more on them. Add a litlle more muscle in her back and weight on those tits, look very abnormal.

/ic/ would probably be a bit better of a place if we actually tried to help each other instead of tearing down people who are actually trying to give advice to learning artists, even if they're unskilled themselves. It would be a lot more productive for everyone if we tried to correct bad advice and redlines to help the OP.

With that out of the way, here's my shitty redline. Your lack of anatomical knowledge really shows in the arms. I think it would be helpful for you to do more figure studies, as they can help you more accurately understand the broad, simple shapes that make up the body.
Additionally, the feet seem rather stiff and flat. The feet can be very expressive body parts, but the way you drew them they seem rather blocky, some feet studies could help you.

I mean, its not different from attempting to draw certain cartoons in-model, just need to break down components of artist you are studying aesthetic choices. Like when you analyses how someone handles value , hues and composition.

Although I think the first thing is that you enjoy look at it and enjoying drawing it. You don't have to force yourself if you don't want.

The breasts, and the way they are held, are well done. The head and the figure, from the bottom of the rib cage up, are in perspective.

Beyond that, there are several glaring problems.

The expression and the pose work very well, but from the awkward shoulder anatomy, followed by the thighs being almost as large as her upper half, throws the tiny waist appeal of stylized characters way off into an unappealing silliness.

Remember, for a 7 1/2 heads figure, the knees lie halfway past the fifth head.

First of all.
Get out of this thread, this thread isn't really for beginners go back to beg but I'll answer your question anyway. Her face looks like it's glued onto her neck the anatomy is fine but it looks shitter because of your lines and colouring. I don't use digital so I'm not sure what you can do to fix that but when I use watercolour I build up my colours in layers and finish any details with coloured pencil, I make sure not to use direct colours. Example you only used purple for this, when in reality they'd be all different tones and shade of purple,blue,pink, red ect. Also the proportions in the face look wack, the nose and mouth are too squished together, I'd put the nose a bit higher and keep the mouth where it is. I will say the hands are okay and do the job at conveying hands, you don't need to go into too much details in this pose and size when it comes to hands. Leave it simple and anatomically correct, but for more close up shots of hands you'd obviously put in more detail. Hope my advice helped and I suggest you stay in the beg threads for now before coming into these threads.

Why would anyone post in /beg/ if they can get stern Mikus with their criticism in here?
