The guy's face blending with the other's dude's back is awesome, it looks really cool
You use all your brainpower on that because everything else is mega-trash

[Anonymous No.6127702]

>>6127687
hey this looks cool, I'm not familiar with this kinda style so can't say much thematically but I like all the strong shapes and twists and turns
one major gripe though; you might spot it if you turn the saturation down; the background and characters share too many values, especially those grey 'clouds' and everyone's skin, so it makes it hard to read. make the background a little darker (and turn down the contrast so it doesn't steal the focus away too much from the crew) to make everyone pop.

[Anonymous No.6127722]

>>6127702
I agree that the saturation could've been better handled in a lot of places, especially with the background stealing attention from the characters. I'll keep that in mind next time I work with a lot of characters like that.

Really like your shapes, especially that smoke, reminds me of my character's curls that I've been trying to draw in a fun way lately. Any advice on how to be this loose and still make it look stylish?

Your colors are a bit noncommital, I'd either go with... wait a second.

[Anonymous No.6127769]

>>6127761
The main problem is it's hard to see, so either increase contrast, limit palette or make it so colors clash out way harder in order to increase readability.
Here are some extreme examples.

Absolutely fantastic all around, I love the brush you used for your line art especially in green's hair
But the biggest issue is the separation of the assets from the background like anon said

[Anonymous No.6127991]

meh

[Anonymous No.6127993]

There is still a lot of textures and details to add such as revolver shell casings, broken glass, doors, etc. Some is still currently lost in the Flats, especially the belt and boots.

Got the mood and general feel of it down, at least.

Right now, it still feels too empty.

>>6124434

It depends. When I'm just drawing a character with no background, I just select the negative space - around the character, outside the lines. After that, I invert the selection and just lasso fill the thing for a solid base.

A base to build the many clipping layers on top of.

Afterwards, I drop the whole mess of flats layers into a folder for convenience. Then just go from there.

For more complex pieces, I more or less do the same - except I seperate the character, foreground, and background with different base layers. Then give them their own folders.

Sometimes, I'll merge the Flats layers together if I'm satisfied.

Your setting is too pristine! Where's the splintering in the wood? Where's the hard edges and edges soft with wear and tear? Where's the dirty dirty floor!? You have some frayed and splintered pillars (?) in the foreground but you need much more than that for a dirty old saloon!

Face is the weakest point. Use reference.
The hairs on the side of the face shouldn't be that thick or short. Pick one.
Right ear looks too far back.
Eyes are pointing outward.
White rim light on the face doesn't look good.
Do the hairline.
Pony tail is on a very strange position. If you can make it overlap her body because of wind it would look great.
Lighting and shading need a lot of work.

It's looking great. Keep it up.

The bomb under her arm doesn't make sense. It's incredibly close to them so it seems like she threw it wrong. Maybe if it was being thrown south-west-ish it might help? I don't know the characters but I'd also push the boys expression a bit more. Make it seem like he REALLY wants to get out of there and probably isn't taking part in all this of his own free will. That sort of forceful call to action would leave him far more desperate to escape imo

Fantastic. One point of crit though is your carry your line style to both your character and the background. It's a little hard to distinguish where his legs are and I'm not wholly sure on what I'm looking at for his cape(?). It all looks wonderful, but it is a little hard to read at times. A quick and easy solution might be to fill in the BG and character with two different faint values but that's just one option

lol... you are over complicating it, its just simple cast shadows. you dont have to mentally picture vanishing points in your head to know the direction of a cast shadow is going and coming from. the clown has a ridiculous amount of cast shadows that do not make sense. like the retarded strong reflected light on her shoulders/neck area that are not reflecting a pinkish color because of how vibrant her hair is. the drawing looks like an amateurish attempt at just putting cast shadows and bad reflected light. stop trying to sound like you found the holy grail to some secret, you are just scrapping the surface with light. you lack finesse and mileage.

If you want to fill that space, you could draw a big chunk of debris? It'd mostly be a middle to foreground object so it might cover some things. But I'm assuming this is the final version of this.
As for expressions, I'd unironically go study one piece's expressions and how they're pushed to such extremes. How malleable Oda makes the heads overall and how he apples squash and stretch are fantastic.
But this is partially a preference thing. Your guy's face now focuses more on keeping his face more "perfect" similarly to how crying can be portrayed in various media. It's not a bad thing per se, the general mainstream probably won't notice it or give it much mind anyway.

Thank you. I use a technique called automatic drawing for the lines. I improvise a lot when doing it, but it took me a lot of time to finally get the hang of it.
This is the video that made me discover automatic drawing, it’s very insightful: https://youtu.be/MJYGFwGhHnA

Even if it’s a technique that revolves around letting your pen and mind go, you can still practice by studying artists that draw with this technique. Redraw their automatic drawing and see what shapes feel interesting/unique so that when it’s your turn to draw, those shapes come naturally from your mind. This is how I did it anyways, my shapes used to look the same (they kinda still do now).
The artists that draw like this do it without a sketch but I use one for my drawings.

I hope I answered your question anon.

Hey man, ignore the other shitter crabs.
You'll want to do darker lines. Not all likes have to be dark, but any lines in the shadows should definitely be recolored darker.
I really admire your set up honestly. Yeah, you're a new artist, and I think anyone pointing that out is stupid. You have some nice composition in mind, your mind is on the right track for the perspective, and your color values are pretty alright. I think you have fantastic potential anon
Even as you are now, I'd read a comic by you given it had good writing. It has a specific feel to it that crabs can't appreciate... Or you're pretending to be a newbie, which could make sense.
That's how much potential I feel you have. Practice your fundies, don't avoid drawing hands, and keep going anon. You'll be able to produce some amazing content in the future as long as you keep drawing every day!

nice, wondering what the rest of your work looks like

[Anonymous No.6140708]

>>6140608
Finer detail, especially in (but not limited to) foreground.
It kind of looks like you did the whole environment on a single layer, multiple layers will help you avoid situations where the brush stroke that defines the branch goes over leaves that are supposed to grow on this branch.
A bit more attention to where your leaves grow from, if it's a single plant, all its parts will have a noticeable common point of origin, and if it's a cluster of plants, there will be several of such points.
Some plant variety won't hurt either.

I say take some in-game screenshots of swamp plants for reference, Kenshi's got some colorful entries in the flora department. Smaller weeds in game are mostly low-res sprites, you can add some irl/generic plants to fill the niche.

I think the relationship you're portraying isn't being explored in its fullest here.
For instance, the guy just kind of submits? Not even a weak attempt at keeping the mosquito away?
And the mosquito, just casually dining and for some reason touching the guy's leg, no passion, no trampling, no grappling, no visible lust or hunger in her.

Well, I admit I'm just a sucker for theatrics, and the picture actually looks fine as it is. I like what you did with mosquito's head. Though uneven volume of her front limbs looks a bit weird.

[Anonymous No.6143093]

>>6142582
Anon, thank you for the thoughtful critique! He *is* supposed to look weakened and succumbed to her, but now that you mention it, it would be a much stronger illustration if he was fighting back or at least making a more pained expression/turning his body away from her/etc.

I was trying to make it look as though the mosquito lady was forcefully grappling him, but I see it failed to come across. This is one of the first times I've really drawn two characters interacting, especially in a 'conflict' dynamic, so I have a lot to work on. I feel like I got too caught up in the composition and fantastical anatomy to remember that I was telling a story. So, thank you!

Honestly, I have no idea what this picture's about, what it's trying to show us.
To show the figure chasing the sword? Then why is it so small compared to the rest of the drawing? There's so much space around it that the eye begins to wander away from it. And it feels like the colossus(?) on which the figure stands on steals the focus with its size and detail.
Or you're showing us the landscape, a wast open space littered with ancient ruins? Then why put a completely visually unrelated human figure in front of the view?
I see this as an issue, and this issue can be solved with change of composition.

[Anonymous No.6144726]

great body and lineart, but her face does not match proportions well, maybe shore up her chin so it doesn't seem unnaturally large, especially in such an angle where the entire face would get scrunched due to perspective
>>6143294
her legs are bowlegged and unbalanced, it might do well if you look up actual bowman poses, this isn't very convincing that she knows what she's doing
>>6143302
from this, I'm assuming you don't use references as often as you could be. the flow is there, but the anatomy and gesture are not. again, very unnatural. your skills aren't as great as you think they are...listen to anons when they tell you to study from reference more.

I wouldn't. He is working well with those semiflat colors, it has some charm to it and it looks unique. Some of it looks jenky but that's normal. the weird over reaction to something that actually looks good is what weird me out a bit, I want to say is probably some samefag trying too hard. If I was the guy I would try some gesture so he can do some more fun and expressive poses other than just the girl standing around. His style is unconventional enough where even weird poses would have a lot of charm to them.

Making the cape longer and hiding more of the face/body makes her seem more like a death figure. If you want to go for something more imposing/accurate to medieval times I would say look at more references. You can still pretty easily slap a cute anime girl onto the outfit.

I like the pose. The footwear, on the other hand, could use a bit more loving. The sole and the heel neatly blending into the rest of the boot looks weird.

Overall the outfit is fine, have you seen, for instance, Death in Gaiman's The Sandman?
I think the issue's not in her costume, your character doesn't show a lot of confidence for an avatar of a fundamental and inevitable force as old as time, not in her pose, nor in facial expression.

First time I see the sandman one, didn't know about it.
For the pose, I wanted to draw a neutral one, just to show her whole body.
She's supposed to be calm, like yeah, a death figure, but not like an "evil" one, so I even thought of making her face look more relaxed.
For this reason I wanted to focus more on the costume, trying to add something eerie about it. Or maybe some shit like angel wings or an halo to make her look more supernatural
