you are giving them western art anatomy/faces that is why you are having a hard time attaining the same "style" as japanese manga, for example they have typical realistic noses and the male has realistic chin/jaw with proportions more aligned again with real ones than stylized
the woman is closer to what you want, but it depends on what style youre going for since "insert random ja[panese term" doesnt really narrow things down

always post some ref of what your goal is so people can more easily help you otherwise all advice is absed on assumption inside peoples head of wtv general terms you use

The style looks very cool, i like the added texture and the overall feel of the drawing; it feels nostalgic in a way, like something from an older video game manual or something. I especially like the legs, they are very nice. Though the ankle on our right looks broken.
Some proportions look somewhat off. The torso looks to be a little too short, and any semblance of a crotch is non-existent, which the extremely short mini-skirt further accentuates. The folds on the bottom left of the shirt look too uniform, and hiding the hand is bad practice (though, that's also something i'm guilty of doing so i can't really preach about it...)
It's a nice drawing, just needs some small adjustments. Good work anon.

You can't meaningfully explain what's wrong with a piece in a way that's actually actionable. The reason is simple. What you with your ability perceive as wrong and fixable, the anon in need of critique *may* perceive as wrong after a critique, but won't have the ability to fix. Usually when something is wrong, everything is wrong and the best advice is to study. Anonymous critique is based on a flawed premise - you need a trusted peer to offer anything useful.
People who get it simply get it, and people who wait on someone to tell them how to see get nowhere. Drawthreads have always just been a place to dump work and collect (you)s.

Sigh... did you draw a basic skeleton or rudimentary muscles when you drew the characters? As I said, it looks like you drew from the outside in, not the inside out. Gesture>skeleton>muscle>skin. In that order. Then you will have strong poses and good anatomy.

I know its not related to your question but as a fellow rocaille enjoyer, I must compliment your scrollwork Sir.

Thanks m8, been on a roll this past few weeks with the Baryxian desings, as I finally figured out a good look for the warskins. Got done with this one a couple of days ago and atm working on a new one.

That's a fantastic sketch by the way. I am not really confident enough to do such dynamic poses as my head struggles with maintaining consistent geometry with the design.

Not literally having to do with mist. A vapid attempt at being lofty and artsy/ emulating what you see better artists do with brush texture. You get off on using a brush with low flow and hard edges, which is fine, but it's super obvious.

yeah that's what i'm doing, i try to sutdy from better artists so i become better myself.
>You get off on using a brush with low flow and hard edges
i'm still learning digital art so actually i keep it simple with my brushes. 90% of the work is a simple square brush, 10% is bristle to soften some spots, and then i filled the background with a random texture since it's not the focus

Tried to paintover for things I would change for the face/body, I think your rendering is pretty good but the color choices and fundamentals underneath is lagging behind it. I would try to copy a few more photo studies and work on life drawing/anatomy, hope this helps!

[Anonymous No.6924288]

>>6923919
Yes, the graininess is a post-process effect done in Photoshop, as is the soft focus and motion blur. I've been experimenting with photographic effects in my work lately, trying to create a sort of psuedo-photography.

>the rendering style reminds me of that illustration where the thick japanese woman is sitting on the salaryman's neck in a subway car

I'm not sure how I should feel about this, so I'll go with: Mild shame that I recognize what you're describing.

[Anonymous No.6924335]

The hatching is fighting with the contours of the fabric.

[Anonymous No.6924357]

>>6924335
Could you elaborate more ? I've used the hatching (the lines ?) To indicate that the cloth has colour and I've used crosshatching to shade. It all looks very chaotic to me. What can I do to fix it ?

[Anonymous No.6924526]

>>6924357

Too many short, jerky, strokes. You need longer, smoother, more consistent hatching that follows the contours of the fabric.

You especially look like you're rushing to fill in the areas with cross-hatching and just filling in the dark areas with chaotic lines. Even the cross-hatched areas must take the contours of the fabric into account.

Slow down, and concentrate on line-control.

Also, the ends of your hatches have little hooks on them, because you're dragging the pen back towards the next line you want to make before lifting it from the paper. Stop that.

[Anonymous No.6926112]

>>6924526
be careful trying to educate someone by using examples of what might be etching when they are drawing because itll only frustrate them when they cant match the literal mechanical perfection of the tools with their freehand.

often what people see as "perfect hatching" is the result of a print , made by etching onto a plate and covering it in ink, rather than the artist sitting there for hours carefull drawing fine lines

[Anonymous No.6926119]

>>6926112
a better example of an actual draughtsman would be Anders Zorn. A prime example of the hatching meaning only to create form, value and shape. Often theres alot of horseshit parading as fact when people try to call out "messiness" in hatching when it entirely depends on what the final image will be. colouring something like this would be horrific but as a pure drawing it works fine- where a full soloured piece would benefit from less inks to fuck up and bleed in something like what you posted

[Anonymous No.6926124]

>>6924328
As for your drawing itself, youre trying to show the curves in the drapery with lines which makes sense, but imagine how if it was lit you wouldnt see all those curved lines banding around the actual curves.

less is usually more and the shadows youve drawn are fine, you just muddied it by looking as if you tried to draw every single stitch, and if you did, theres alot more effort involved and youd need as many strokes and as dark a contrast in between each thread as you did for an entire shadow to make it look cohesive which is a complete ADHD medication task

less is more, i tell people this but no one listens. but no worries they will all come around. you can also add one more shade for some more shapes. like darker bits in cast shadows or lighter bits in lit areas.
