It's extremely bad. I never learnt the fundamentals during my teen years, and eventually gave up drawing altogether. I'm 25 now and am picking it up after 4 years or so, and am trying to learn theoretical principles properly this time instead of merely drawing anime faces like I always did. This was a page I scribbled yesterday. There's about one cube, on the middle right, which I feel came out okay. The rest is rubbish.

Can you explain them? I will try and learn from your critique.

I can see that he has been faithful to the reference as much as he could, adding features in various places that were not in the original. The anatomy is a bit too bendy in some areas. But as a whole, I consider his anatomy, line quality and other dimensions to be great.

The main issue is her left shoulder, which should be higher, and it's drawn too close to the chest. The torso is rotated towards her left side compared to the reference which makes the pose look unnatural. And as you said it's too bendy in some places, like her right forearm looks like it's made of rubber. Looks unappealing to me.

He still has a great grasp of all the fundamentals, and is likely at the level to do this professionally. An image like that, on a board like this, deserves more credit than you've given him in my opinion.

>He still has a great grasp of all the fundamentals
First of all, you can't judge "all the fundamentals" from that drawing. Secondly, I wouldn't call that great.

>and is likely at the level to do this professionally
If by doing it professionally you mean drawing porn commissions, sure. If you mean like concept art or illustrations, probably not.

Not necessarily, just share a picture of a similar anatomy study (meaning something that is going for the same simplicity and minimalism as that picture, rather than a super-rendered and extremely expressive life drawing that isn't what the guy there was aiming to do) so we can contrast the former to it and better understand what art can aspire to.

The proportions are mostly accurate but the form is lost in many spots and the midsection is particularly poorly communicated and I think it's something in that area that makes her whole center of balance look off.

This photo looks so strange. It looks like it could be an uncanny 3d model. Probably a combination of:
Her wierdly proportioned body - very broad manly shoulders
Her awkward pose
Her thousand yard stare

[Anonymous No.4663835]

That's what I said with this, >>4662331 which was just a light hearted joke, she has weird anatomy that looks masculine, particularly the upper arms and shoulders, broad waist, tall and narrow hips and a very visible Adonis line, seems people don't have much of a sense of humor on /ic/ these days.
Also the face is looks semi retarded, there's this screen cap about a guy wanting to make a retarded girl his gf and the girl in question had a very similar looking face to the model in the OP.

What exactly is inconsistent?

[Anonymous No.4664018]

>>4663857
>What exactly is inconsistent?
Not entirely sure why it looks so strange to me, but here's my guess:
The area around the gun makes it look like the scene is being lit by a very bright light source - there's a lot of contrast in the thumb region and the sheet in the background looks radiant. But the rest of the picture looks like it's not being lit with nearly the same amount of intensity.
I think it might be partially because she's pointing her arm in the direction of the light source, but I suspect that someone may have messed with the contrast of the image as well.

You lose control of the colors when using multiple overlay layers.
In Sai and CSP, an entire folder can be set to an effect. All the layers within the folder will interact with each other normally, so you can make very controlled adjustments. I'm not up to date on PS, so I don't know if it has this feature.

Hey thanks for this, i'm trying to follow this video, but in a more celshaded style, but when i add the light it kinda looks like shit, any idea?

[Anonymous No.4666150]

>>4666040
It's impossible to say unless you post an example. The term cel-shaded itself is so often misused and overbroad that it does not narrow things down.

[Anonymous No.4666175]

Why do you idiots keep responding to mass repliers? They are not sincere and are only attention and drama whores.
Don't respond and they'll stop shitting up the board.

You're right, i mean hard edge shadows, not rendering basically. I didn't make this particular study, but when i came home i'll give it a try just to make an example.

Ok here, i've done it super quickly, i'm probably doing something terrible wrong cuz light looks fucking weird to me, despite my best effort,

[Anonymous No.4667014]

>>4666792
If you want to make it look like old anime, you shouldn't have that reflected light layer. The lightest lights and the darkest darks should be reserved for accents, and used sparingly.

I did not, it looks bad. Her body is bent awkwardly, her right arm is an unrecognizeable mess, her face looks like a chucky doll, and your sketch looks like scribbles of a deranged lunatic whose mind just goes blank as soon as he sets out to draw something, and his hand just moves uncontrollably around the general direction of the drawing instead of making confident stroke.

That bounce light you're doing does not work with cel shading.

Be more subtle witht the lights and make the joints thinner. You gave her cankles fat writsts and knees.

Also tit's are a wierd shape, more tier drop

Imho youve got simply too much visual noise going on with intricate shapes busying both light and shadow parts.
You want detail in one side and areas of rest in the other, so detailed light areas with highlights and stuff = simplify shadow areas for balance and clear intention instead of detailing everything as much as possible.

[Anonymous No.4667994]

>>4666792
>>4667989
Also, the underbelly area, the shadow, looks very strange and attracts attention for wrong reasons, simplifying that into a more elegant shape would certainly help.

Nice work otherwise btw, I really like the face and stylization of proportions.

How do you get your brush to be so smooth with the shading? I'm using shit default brushes for an ancient version of PS Elements and I always end up with that streaky look.

[Anonymous No.4671824]

Your shadow work is really good, or at the very least I like it. The inner side of both elbows looks kinda weird, and the head is a bit small like the other anon said. Otherwise proportions are looking good, the core/abs/legs look great. Keep it up, senpai.

Why do the best painters skimp on the hands?

[Anonymous No.4672976]

>>4672829
Unless it's a big focus of the composition, it's in the best interest for painters to do as little work as possible with hands.Painting as a whole works because they imply shape and color, and your mind kinda fills in the rest. However, the more effort and brushwork you add to an area, the more it draws your eyes to it. And since the hands are so small and unimportant to the overall form, they just do the general idea and our brain does the rest of the work. It's like how sketches almost always look better than the final linework. ((That or I'm hyper/beg/))

The combination of bright reflected light, blending in all directions, and wide value range makes the rendering seem metallic. Reduce the amount of contrast and blending, and reserve the darkest values for occlusion.

Because you have to use a smaller brush to do them. It's like a whole other technique just to paint hands.
