hartmann my angel

sure is deviantart in here.

>>11315227
You must be new here.

Is that the art for your game?

inspired by cavestory...!

>>11315278
It's fanart of Cirno,
Maybe someday I will make a touhou game

>>11315296
I forgot to add the crystals, will do that lineart when I'm finished colouring Cirno

>>11315296
What happened to your VN?

>>11315289
You should go rounder faced if you're trying to chibi.

>>11315306
don't tell me what to do!! its my style....

>>11315302
I'm working on a little sister visual novel as a side project. but i'm still working on that VN!

I'm going to work all day tomorrow to flesh out the VN.
The little sister VN is an eroge too.
Update thread will be on next Tuesday 7:00 pm EST

Finished colouring Cirno, now just have to colour the crystals and clean it up.

>>11315310
Well, I won't force you too, other than that, your proportions are cute~
Keep on working, anon.

>>11315562
..

>>11315138
THERES SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOUR FAAAAAACE

No mouth

>>11315567
What's wrong anon? please tell
>>11315571
there's a mouth...

>>11315138
uguu
move the nose and mouth lower

What is happening
and
why is it happening?

>>11315569
It's dubs, ignore him- he's a bad artist anyways who traces.

>>11315575
I think he's just commenting on it being KEY style.

I will never learn colors
maybe having an idea of what are you going to draw before starting can help, also

>>11315632
are you calling me a tracer?!

i'll have you know that i am not a tracer.

Why does janny allow this shit? This is clearly /ic/ material and belongs on /ic/. If you wanted to draw and post your drawings there's always /i/ which is incredibly underpopulated and needs some traffic anyway.

Why disallow anime (clearly otaku culture) and keep it to the /a/ board but when it comes to drawing shit it's perfectly fine?

del this ass thread

>>11315804
...if i draw something /jp/ and we make this thread an oc thread its okay?

Rumia ｢S-So, what do you think about my new swimsuit? Y-You better say something nice! I picked it out just for you, you know?｣

>>11315819
hips are too narrow
flat feet

when I started drawing it seemd so funny.
sorry...

>>11315852
Would be more amusing if she was nude or the faceless were using her hands to masturbate.

>>11315874
messy

>>11315914
Well, you've got my approval.

>>11315839
>hips are too narrow
Even for a child?

>>11315819
You do know that Rumia can't take her ribbon off, right?

It looks lovely, otherwise.

>>11315949
Not that anon, but for a kid, 3 heads should be her vajayjay.
If she's younger than say... 5, 3 heads should be just below her knees. If you trying to stylize, you need to make sure you stick to the ratios at least to keep it looking good.

>>11315941

>>11316008
You're making me blush, seriously.
Stop it~

>>11315949
>hips are too narrow
They are indeed. It might fit for a child, but I actually prefer little girls with bigger hips. For now, I'm just trying out all kinds of things with anatomy and see what looks good.

First (and probably last) attempt at drawing tits. Somehow, doing this doesn't feel nearly as satisfying as drawing small/no tits. Spoiler for nudity.

Does this count as the new OC thread?

>>11316205
they're too far apart.

>>11315819
Torso looks weird, it's kind of short, and her belly button is too low. I don't like how the top and the bottom of the bathing suit don't match, but that's just me.
>>11316205
Breasts are too far to the side and too high up, making the torso look really long. Her leg shouldn't morph into her lady parts. Her foot looks broken.
Please work on your feet, they always look weird.

>>11315812
I'd grab you by your throat and punch your belly till you're out of snot and tears but I promised me mum I'll stop bashing your fockin nerd heads in.

>>11316205
Take some anatomy lessons you talentless hack fuck.

>>11316319
>>11316312

>>11316268
Will do, thanks for your input.

>>11316319
You know you're getting somewhere when you attract replies like this one. Thanks, man.

Kijin Seija. Don't go easy on me /jp/

>>11316378
The only place you're headed is the dead end deviant art rubbish pile mate.

>>11315761
Fuck colors. Try learning some edge control though.

>>11316386
It's funny because his drawing is very edgy.

>>11316389
Yeah. But grotesque anatomies are fun to draw so it's somewhat excusable.

>>11316386
...edge control?

hei /jp/ give me something to draw

only the second suggestion will be taken

>>11316472
If I just ask a question will it count as a suggestion?

>>11316492
no!

>>11316498
What if I make two suggestions, the first one being fake?

>>11316501
no!

>>11316472

>>11316472

>>11315819
What the HELL are those lines supposed to be?

>>11316521
tch, a load of /jp/edos got in before I could make two suggestions. I won't complain though a good anon got in.

>>11316537
Butt cheeks.

>>11316537
Buttocks, as seen through the legs.

>>11316546
>>11316553
I heard from some normal that kids don't have butt cheeks.

>>11316517
Male or female? What grade?

>>11316567
girl, second grade.

>>11316562
While that might usually be the case in 3D, 2D doesn't know such limitations.

>>11316567
are you going to draw it or something? why are you asking such questions?

>>11316567
Male, manchild

>>11316578
Nah, 3D has butt cheeks from about 2 years.

>>11316573
My first love was a second grader five years younger than me.

I like 9 year olds the best, though.

>>11316578
2D is often very unrealistic and over the top. I dislike most of it.

>>11316594
Can they even sit down before that age?

>>11316602
I'm sorry you're such a faggot.

>>11316546
>>11316553
The fact that she's got butt cheeks is just mindblowing.

I did an edgy rumia.
what now

>>11316612
it's scary but i got a little boner

>>11316608
I masturbate to childish cartoons meant for little girls.

Why are children so fucking retarded?

>>11316606
Are you serious? If your kid isn't sitting on it's ass by one, you really should be worried. It should at least be able to stand using a support by then.

Worst stage 6 boss ever, lewd version.

That's bullshit. I have a cute 8 year old cousin and she's nothing like that.

>>11316634

Whats a Homestuck?

>>11320362
Tremendous.
You do great stuff, and you pick great palettes.

>>11320663
I'll never pick a great palette because I'm colorblind...

>>11320459

I am not so sure if I would consider myself such. Someone in the last OC thread wondered if I had every done anything wallpaper sized so I attempted to make something for him. Unfortunately I did not suffice this request. Perhaps next time.

>>11320663
I should be using more colors in my paintings it would bring them to life. At the very least I should make better use of light and dark contrasts much like Rembrandt's control of light to make focus.

>>11320688
Beethoven was deaf. Do not think your inability to see color is why you would fail.

This is a common occurrence in my paintings sadly. It's like being Giger without any of the redeeming qualities.

I need to learn how to draw to make OC chars in my game.

>>11320785
>Beethoven was deaf.
Not to start with. He did all his awesome shit while her could hear, and then became deaf.

Not to be discouraging or anything...

>>11320877
What kind of game?

>>11320877
Your characters should be 3d or pixel art anyway. You don't have to learn to draw. You have to learn to model or animate pixels.

>>11320906
Learning to draw and paint translates very good into pixeling. It also works the other way around but to a much lesser instance. I've heard the same about 3d.
So yes, it's not required to learn how to draw but it's a good idea. It's simpler picking up how to create shapes with pencils and quicker to learn about color with painting imo.

>>11320875
Your subconscious might be trying to tell you something.

I love your style! Do you have a pixiv or something?

A bit off topic but I need some help. I have an Adesso CyberTablet 8600. Well I lost the pen, and the company's website doesn't offer a replacement. Does anyone know if my tablet will work with any pen by the same brand, or heck any other tablet pen at all? I really don't want to buy a whole new tablet just because I lost it.

Assuming that you're saying it because of the final boss osananajimi incident, that was never my intent on any of them. I just wanted to take the LN panel, foccused now on the ring delivery, and let myself go a little over a Kuroneko-esque melodramatic bishoujo/gothic style, for what I read as a quite sad moment. But apparently I over did it.

Is it worth buying used tablets? I really want one with at least 6x11 active area and was looking at the Intuos3. However, I found that anything that big costs like 600 dollars or more for new ones which is way more than I have. Used ones were way cheaper, and some of them didn't look in that badly worn, but I'm still very weary. Why are even slightly used tablets so much cheaper? Why the huge price difference from a new one?

>>11330367
Yes. A $50 tablet gives you more control and power than a $5000 mouse. Start small with one of the Wacom Bamboo ones. You don't need to get the lowest end model if you can afford more~ the Bamboo Create is comparable to the Intuos3.

>>11330392
Well, I already have the very small, 70 dollar Wacom Bamboo Pen Tablet, but I really would like to upgrade to something much bigger. Its very hard to make good strokes when zoomed in a lot and/or drawing in small details, and I figured a bigger tablet would make that much easier.

Posted this on /a/ last night. Realistic version of the final scene in Texhnolyze.

>>11330413
Completely read your post wrong- whoops! I'd treat them the same as any other electrical device: how old they are, any warranty left, and condition. Always ask for pictures upfront.

>>11330367
Well, I use a stolen wacom bamboo, and it seems pretty solid compared to intous and other big shots. it cost around 50-60 zenys if i remember correctly, so its not really that big sacrifice; my advice is: avoid costly stuff since you're a beginner (I guess), aim for used wacoms BUT check them in person and buy only if it looks really in good conditions (the best way is to check how new look the box and all the tiny plastic bags, and if the tablet still smells of package) if you don't find a used one in good conditions just grab a new one. you'll be sure that will work at least

>>11330415
You're too good. please kill yourself

>>11330444

>>11330367
Be wary most of those used tablets are without the pen. Many of the ebay shits separate them because they can make more money off of it. Quality of used will vary from seller to seller. Best point of wear is to look at the label on the back of the tablet. Once that is worn heavily will likely be a tablet that will n ot last long. MOST IMPORTANT verify the surface. The surface sheet must be pristine. No scratches wear or nicks. Also good to make sure someone stocks replacement sheets. These DO wear out. I have the widescreen intuos 3 (631w) last I looked there was some cock selling them for 100usd, they sold originally from intuos for 40usd.

New tablets have non replaceable surfaces, be aware of this since that "paper" texture DOES wear out which means your replacing the whole unit vs just a sheet of composite plastic.

>>11320895
Of course Beethoven did his finest works (7th and 9th S.) while deaf. The thing is: he was already a very experienced composer by those days and, when you work at that level, you don't really need to hear sounds to make music: music is not the sounds (which are just the interpretation) but the formal relations established between certain signs within a tradition (polyphony, counterpoint, modes, tonality, microtonality, free atonality, integral serialism...) so music can very well be made, so to say it, "directly on paper". Do you think Bach used made the variations over his themes sitting in front of the clavichord? do you think he could even play most of his stuff himself? of course no: he had a first idea, which could come from experimenting on an instrument or from his imagination, and then he would develop it on the score with his knowledge of harmony and his craftsman experience on how certain effects "look like" on paper...

...
Painting is not comparable to this because within it there is no such thing as a score or similar interface in which all the chromatic and tone values that constitute a piece can be written down in characters for anyone else to read, interpret and so reproduce a piece faithfully enough: that's simply not how a painting is made. Also, in music there's no such things as mimesis in the traditional sense: while we normally paint "trees", "clouds", "people" and other stuff we can see and try to copy by the means of some technique and materials, music do not emulate pre-existing sounds; it works differently: music is been abstract art from the very beginning; it might emulate other disciplines' rules of organization, as in the stochastic music of Xenakis, but never aims for "naturalistic" stuff, not even in impressionist or some of Messiaen's music, neither on aleatory or ambiance experiments like Cage's: that's simply not how music is made.

So comparing music and painting is much more problematic than it might look at first. And being able to do either of them competently, doesn't mean you actually understand what you're doing let alone being capable of explaining/teaching them to others. Unlike the masters, average artists are very talented technicians but extremely poor esthetes.

When someone bothers to make it. Could be any second, could take weeks. You could be the OP, I could be the OP.

I'm more sorry to having see you're picture

Forever getting nowhere.

>>11349816
that's because you're doing it wrong. remove "stop drawing." draw like a motherfucking fist of the north star.

get a tablet or a pencil+eraser and some a4 printer paper and get to drawing. in a few months you should start seeing improvements, depending from how often you practice.

you need a steady hand to draw straight lines before you jump into shapes, especially complex ones like a human body.

>>11349807

Any specific reason why?

>>11349828
>you need a steady hand to draw straight lines
This has always been a huge problem for me when drawing anything, even just stuff like maps. I shake like crazy, can you train yourself to have steady hands?

>>11349870

Yes it's mostly control and muscle memory.

>>11349828
>draw like a motherfucking fist of the north star
yeah, good luck doing that after hit 25 years.
once you realized you'll never be a pro, and pro as "actually gooddamn fucking good, enough to pay bills, food and a home" you'll lose your fucking guts and hard work attitude and become just another cynical failure like 90% adults are forced to become in order to survive.
you think you'll seriously manage to delude yourself with baseless hopes forever? there's a reason if escapism exist friend.

>>11349835
I changed my mind, now its pretty cool.

>>11349886
i'm 30, i still draw. though i got past the this sucks mark around 20 or so.

>>11349886
yeah because you cant be good at drawing without having it as your profession
there are plenty of good artists who do it as a hobby while having another job

>>11349886
> there's a reason if escapism exist friend.

I constantly find myself in a position where I don't know what I should be doing, the "just draw (copy from reference) whatever" seems to me an extremely inefficient method, a piece of advice you'd get from people who started when they were 10 years old and simply didn't know any better back then.

>>11349914
I used to go on /soc/ and just make a drawthread. (most people there like posting pics of theirselves and are happy about some drawings) I mean all practice is good practice.

wake your fucking shit up. at 30 you're already done if you didn't manage your shit fixed already. people become young adults with trained skills at 18-24 years, and they already have the right contacts thanks to internet and generational mass culture.

I wonder what Prof. WORDS (>>11333179>>11333186>>11334634)
thinks about this returning topic.

>>11350740
You should try working on reading comprehension first.

It certainly takes way more than naked technique (or any sort of dry recipe to follow robotically) to achieve decent results. Talent does exist but it needs of a fair intellectual trajectory, a very critical attitude, theoretical knowledge and awareness of styles and schools to really bloom, thus rendering itself as the given hability to check all these requirements faster and not to skip them. We all have our own unbreakable limits but you won't know where they lie until you push yourself to them. However, unless you go terribly weak-sighted, Parkinson or something of the sort, age is certainly not specially against you to start learning to draw for pleasure at any given time (like it is, for example, in ballet).

>>11349828
>draw like a motherfucking fist of the north star.

I know you need to practice to get good (at anything, not just drawing) but this is only half true. Look at DA. There are people there who have been drawing Sonic and Pikachu regularly for half a decade showing no improvements. Take CWC for example. The guy has been at it for nearly two decades and he still draws like a child. Okay maybe it's a extreme example, so look at the Megatokyo artist whose name I forgot. That guy has professional training, too (he was an architect) and even got published.

I think it's important to have a clear goal or objective of some kind before picking up a hobby. You know, the kind of motivation that constantly makes you think "no, this isn't working. I need to try something else" and pushes you out of your comfort zone to try new things. Some people do this naturally. I don't. Drawing just for the sake of drawing doesn't work for me. Maybe that's what sets apart the true artists from the bored faggots with nothing better to do.

>>11352084
Very nice. Hair looks Youmu, though.

I just found a Link I did many years ago.
I have nothing to say for myself.

>>11352191
yeah, you're not gonna get better if you just draw the same stupid thing (sonic for example) from the same angle, over and over again
you need to study anatomy a bit to see how the muscles and bones work
but drawing more is still the most important thing, if you just draw for few times and give up because it's too hard then obviously you're not gonna get any better
it's the same with learning anything

>>11352442
>>11352437
Use this tutorials, anon. It's very helpful.

Nobody here uses flash? I mean I suck at drawing but if my art doesn't moves or if I can't make a mini game out of it I feel that its just boring.

Drawing on PS got old really fast... Also you got pretty much the same tools on Flash now, it wasn't like that before through.

>>11352084
The head looks unbalanced and the hairstyle isn't really that of Aya, but considering your style that is easily pardoned. It's a doodle, so stuff like that doesn't really matter.
>>11328568
Very cool. I really like how her suit looks puffed up.

I did some random sketch and tried coloring it. Since I can't really into colors and always sucked at it, this is the first time I somehow like what I came up with, it's still really basic shit though.
Please don't mind the shitty outlines and the uneven ears. I can do better with those.

>>11316612

>>11352499
Those slim fingers are very sexy, thank you for sharing them with us.

>>11350740
>at 30 you're already done
Yes, the brain continues to mature until around 30 years. But you can still train new skills after 30.

>people become young adults with trained skills
Mind you that's only a few skills and they took over 10 years acquiring them. Maturation effects practically guarantee that you can learn anything a teenager can learn (from the same starting point) at ten times the rate.

>too old? U R OUT FAGGOT
You are only too old at around 55+ when it becomes increasingly more difficult to learn new things. The sweet spot is really from around 25 to 40.

>>11352312

How do you do those shading- multitone- I have no idea how to call them- lines? I never learned how to do something that delicate looking without making a fucking mess.

Back then I used a 0.5 HB propelling pencil and it was enough. Now I am a control freak so I use pencils again, from 6H to 2B (though normally around 3H), but most of the time very well sharpened, literally like a needle. I also sort of draw with the eraser (sharpened as well) by making highlights, soft edges and such, and I am very conscious about the appropriate pressure I apply on every single stroke.

For me at least, there's no special trick about making complicated textures. You simply have to draw them: every single little thing you want to happen there, you have to consciously put it there yourself.

>>11352437
>>11352442
Lewd.

What do you guys do when you get bored of the drawing you're currently working on or drawing in general? Assuming that ever happens. I'm still really slow at drawing so it takes me awhile to finish something. I don't want to start something new because I already have lots of other things I'm working on and I'm afraid doing that will just create a huge backlog of unfinished work.

>>11353486
it's not like you have to finish every picture
just leave it and draw something else

>>11353247
I'm sure in art schools they teach this eraser technique, that probably also have a name. I remember Hiroaki Samura using the eraser to give special the effects to pencils
>very conscious about pressure
I need neural surgery to do this. a bad case of boarhands

>>11353486
I never put any thought into my drawings, so they are rarely worth finishing.

>>11353620
The one I'm working on is definitely worth finishing, I just picked a much harder method of coloring than I am used to so its taking awhile. And I already colored lots of it, so for the sake of consistency I need to color the rest the same way.

I forgot how to draw. What do? I can't even so much as emulate my old drawings all of a sudden.

>>11352437

Also is there something like this for DFC? I don't have any idea what it looks like around the female chest without fat bulbs in the way.

Anyone want to draw with me on flockdraw?

I love the taste of watermelon

especially when it's wet

Does anyone know how to determine a proper color for outlines?
Up until now I've always used black, but when I try to color it, it turns out to flat and looks unnatural.

How does it feel if someone who is better than you looks down on you?

>>11356305
The colour of the lines doesn't really matter.

>>11356685
Good, man. much better than some no talent hater.

I tried.

>>11357308
what a strange tail

So I have this site rip from Carre that I thought about using as references for practice.
But I'm really skeptical about how much "copying" really makes you improve.

It's like, in a math class, if you just copy shit from the blackboard you won't actually learn anything.

So I don't know, are there things I should be looking out for?

>>11357729
>But I'm really skeptical about how much "copying" really makes you improve.
You can't invent anatomy and the human figure you retard.
So you have to use references until your mental library is full and your drawing skill are up to par to draw a human in any angle and pose.

Ignoring references turns you to average dA anime artist #29303

>>11357752
Using references will only turn you into /ic/ gastritis tryhard #29303.

Nice photo of a gray square.

Seriously, either scan or get a pen.

>>11357752
Yeah, but can you learn anatomy just from "drawing what you see"? I thought there were entire books dedicated to that and you had to study muscles and bones and shit.

>>11358262
>gray square.
Your monitor appears to be shit.

>>11328568

I like how you work with colors. Where can I see more of your drawings?

Also, here's my attempt. Not quite landscape. More of a color study.
