Thank you for trying today, anon.

Cooking? It's about time someone made a nice /jp/ related cake.

It is way past my bedtime, goodnight,

Wait WAIT A MINUTE MAN YOU DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THIS GAME IS AN EROGE.

Don't be a racist

Would love a Vendetto/Adauchi from Mogeko. Any artists would like to do this for me as a birthday gift today?

>>12581343
Anon... the /jp/ drawthread is not the request thread. Not to be rude, but please consider contributing in some form or go back to /a/.

>>12581332
Please keep /pol/ memes on /pol/.
I'm sure they would enjoy this piece.

>>12581358
I went to /a/ and they told me I wasn't in the right place.

>>12581374
You missed again.

>>12581374
>>12581358
Guess I'll try /v/ or /ic/ sorry guys.

>>12581382
It's okay. Every once and a while Anons here will take on request. You just have to catch them before it's too late.

>>12581382
They will send you away too.

I'll tell you what, I wanna see you drawing even if you think you can't.
So if you make a drawing of the character you want, I'll give it a go as well.

>>12581343
If it's not too late here. Happy Birthday Anon. I'm sorry it's shit, but I tried.

>>12581646
I don't really think I can draw too well. But if that's what it'll take, then you have my thanks if you deliver. I'll post it once I"m done.

>>12581672
I don't think it's shit at all, thank you very much.
>>12581646
I'm still taking you up on that offer though.

This is how /a/ turned their drawing thread into a 499 requests and 1 drawing(usually the op). I can foresee this being the norm in 2015 /jp/ ever since we got the influx of br/a/hs from the monster thread transfer.

>>12581688
Sorry, I didn't know. It wont' happen again.

No matter what, I seem to never improve at faces. Life is suffering.

>>12581680
Oh, this >>12581672 is the character? Then I already did a sketch on the previous thread.

>>12581805
Ahh, right. Thanks, I liked that one a lot. I wasn't sure if I should do a OC in return since this was a OC thread, but I guess as apologize and thanks to everyone this is my contribution to the thread. My own concept art/design thing for my OC. My scanner totally exploded on me though so I had to use a camera.

>>12581819
The magic of this thread to me is drawing in company of other people from all skill levels. Take it as a motivation to produce, thanks to this thread I've been drawing all week long after a couple months stalled.

Cute char, yo.

4 hands means! 150% personality!

>>12582148
Easy on drapery, anon-kun, might get too distracting. Kawaii as fug nevertheless.

>>12582239
I guess your right, the focus point should be mainly the face and other shit can be distracting it. totally forgot to think about that stuff. thanks

I was tired and forgot to add some little things

>>12581153
Sorry, I was originally going to draw her without the sword or panties, but changed my mind. It's not a porn game.

Here's an update to the game, the level designs are still nonexistant, but I added the cut scene states and made a boss. Let me know if the boss is too hard/easy/retarded.

Whoa, today is my birthday too.

Someday I will write.
But not today. Willingness
has escaped my life.

So today, my bed
is my fortress.
I feel myself decay
between the sheets.
Perhaps this is death?

Ah,
living's such a hassle.

>>12582863
I wish Taskmaster would visit me. I bet his cakes are phenomenal.

So /jp/ who are you going to the ball with?

>>12583602
fuck off

>>12583602
Your mom.

Someone pls redline his arm + hand, I'm having trouble with this (as usual)

>>12583743
it doesn't look very wrong to me, just try to give more volume to the forearm
watching the complete pic should be more useful for troubleshooting I think

this makes three. Although I like drawing these I wish I could get over my fear of drawing whole bodies

>>12583809
please draw more thughus.

fixed the hair a bit.

>>12583819
I've done wriggle, reimu,and marisa so far. who next? I was thinking cirno

I would post a drawing, but my drawings are really bad.

>>12584074
Never stopped OP from posting.

>>12584074
Worse that the ones we usually post? I doubt that

>>12584099
>>12584088
By "bad", I mean that it's something that wouldn't get any attention. Not too good and not too ugly, nothing very special about it.

>>12584230
You're making a fuss about nothing, just post it and if someone have something to say about it will quote

>>12583048
Wash your sheets BroNon, it'd be bad if you kept mold and decaying skin on them.

This is going to sound really stupid, but here goes:

My friend is really good at piano and I am alright- I am sure I could get him to practice and duet some Touhou songs.

I can't find any official sheet music anywhere, so I assume ZUN never released any.

Do the doujin groups just reverse engineer all the songs?

Here are some "fansprites" sketches of Higurashi I'm drawing. Already finished the first set featuring Oishi, Rena, Rika and Mion.

>>12584520
And just finished another sketch, Hibari 13 of the Yamainu, more commonly known as Amakuza from Umineko.

Here's a song I made a couple of weeks ago:

i don't really know if this is what you're asking for since sheet music for touhou isn't hard to find at all

>>12584372
That's just perspective I think

>>12584539
Pretty nice.

>>12584529
>>12584520
I hope you'll scan these whenever your finished.

I tried today, /jp/. A quick one due to tight schedule. Good night, /jp/.

>>12584704
>>12584757
Nice. Keep on trying!

New artist here what can I do to make this less shit.

>>12585291
Be as harsh as you'd like.

>>12585291
Improve your lines. You need line confidence. Work on improving fingers or hands in general as well.

>>12584622
They are actually.

Practicing all night.
Still too retarded at this.
Nighty night ,/jp/.

Reminds me of Ooi Masakazu's style. Do you like Oku-san?

Ehhh, I feel like something is off, but don't care enough to re-do anything.

>>12586620
face perspective is wrong, left thight should be lower

>>12584529
You should really clean up your scans first, it'll look better. I just used levels in gimp but you can even just mess with contrast in SAI.

>>12586724
I perfectly know how to modify that, making it like you just did just make it looks like shit, the scanned image looks nothing like the one I posted.

>>12586724
>>12587032

As a matter of fact, what you did completely destroyed the lines and still kept many "bruises".

>>12586724
Curves > Levels. Almost always.

>>12587035
>>12587032
>>12586724
>now it looks like shit
are you retarded? next time use the scanner propely if you're able to do so.
and anyway, the quality of the image is the least thing that you should be worried about in that drawing

too bad most people take them too seriously

>>12526649
Never get to have time to sit down and draw
took a bit to scribbles those 2hus and a guy
see how many people u can find, enjoy

>>12587032
To be fair I've never cleaned up a scan, but posted it as an example. Leaving it as it was looks sloppy.
>>12587050
I'll keep that in mind.

>>12587060
I used it properly. You don't seems to understand that's it's a sketch and not an inked drawing.

>>12587136
This is better than your Alice picture but what the fuck is up with Satori's and Koishi's faces

>>12587136

>>12583743
>>12584757
>>12586213
>>12586199
These look like sketches, yours don't look like a sketch

>>12587349
A drawing done with a pencil if you prefer ? Most people see sketches as unfinished works, personally that's just how I name drawings done with a pencil.

>>12587136
i think i can see waldo in there

>>12587395
The only thing I can see in there now is jelly

I don't know how much more I can take. Being a ghost must be easy.

I would appreciate any critique of my song!

>>12587630
Sounds like Shinsei Kamatte-chan, which is pretty awesome.

>>12587187
>I used it properly.
Now, you're the one who doesn't seem to understand that it's a sketch and not an inked drawing.
Save it in JPG, 2,5mb for a lousy scan is a waste of bandwith. You only use PNG for small palettes (usually only in digital media) or when quality is ultimately important, such as stock footage.

And yeah, I would recommend using levels as well, although more moderately (pic related).

Won't post fullres because I'm using dial-up, but a JPG 80% in the same size as your original file is only 540kb. Think of the children.

Man, I wish I could download the songs in this thread. Sorry, guys.

>>12587691
My favorite band, so that's a huge compliment. Thanks!

>>12590432
Oh? Thanks dude.

>>12590190
Did you honestly draw this? Because it's a very complex drawing but with very basic mistakes, like it was traced/copied.

In case you traced, start drawing.

In case you've drawn it, start to sketch 3D basic shapes before adding details, this way you give priority to structure and don't make mistakes like the overly baggy hands and sunken-in-chest breasts.

>>12591246
He probably did the chickenest scratchiest underlying drawing then did that shitty line over what he thought were the correct places.

Decided on a whole new type of gameplay for my platformer
Time to start drinking and trying to re-code a bunch of shit

>>12591407
I admire what you're doing, but your colors honestly suck, m8.

Here are some suggestions, these can be done with Photoshop's "Selective Color" or "Color Balance" adjustment layers.

>>12591611
Well few exceptions apart everyone sucks here

>>12591636
I'm sure that's why he's helping.

>>12591658
whatever

>>12591611
I have a 2 monitor setup and both monitors completely suck for color correctness. The bottom left girl looks ganguro on one screen and like a mexican on the other.

I've been thinking about purchasing a monitor color calibrator for a while now, but could never justify the $100 until now.

Does this look any better?

Thanks for the tip.

>>12591738
Yeah, it's a bit better now.

>buying software
I've never had problems calibrating with Windows' or graphic card's drivers before, I'll ask a friend about the software she used to calibrate a damaged monitor.

>>12591775
Not software, hardware. It physically sits on the screen and makes the proper adjustments for you.

>>12591738
If you don't care too much about perfect colors just download a test image and use the built-in calibration tool.

>>12591738
I think that white looks fine.
I guess you can play around with design more if you use unrealistic colors. look at cave story

>>12591693
A good artist-in-training accepts criticism.
You'd do well to remember that.

>>12591901
I'm not him or an artist in training
uniformation is not always right

>>12591909
'fuck outta here kid quit trying to talk big when you ain't shit

>>12591909
It's up to the artist to make that decision, but disregarding everything will get you nowhere
That's just the way things work.

>>12591973
>>12591988
>That's just the way things work
wow such wisdom
I'm kinda fed up with this lunch break nihilistic eloquence. the way things work is a fairytale for people that is left out of them you fool
>inb4 passive aggressive quote
so annoying

>>12592032
>wow such x
Please stop that.
Why don't you tell us why it's wrong to take criticism into to account? Bear in mind that taking it into account doesn't necessarily mean adjusting your work to meet the critic's standards.

>>12592032
You sound like a pissed off nobody who never made it to nothing.

>>12592032
So you don't draw, don't look to improve and is just here to watch people who, according to you, suck?
I hope I misread something, else stop wasting our time even more.

I'm sure I screwed up something somewhere

>>12592265
Your ruffles don't look wrong, but don't look harmonious. Think what overall shape would better fit the dress before doing each curve on its borders.

Another thing is articulations. Wrists, elbows and shoulders. They are small compared to the arm/forearm, thus looking like they've swollen up.

Small hands.

Asymmetrical boobs on sweater-chan.

I guess that's pretty much everything, you're doing a cute job overall.

Why did magical neko len len quit?

>>12588923
Nice. You should post a picture of it. Perhaps a drawing of it to make it on topic.

>>12593630
Nice work dude, you have a promising future in art.

Is it possible to do anything at all with just a mouse?

>>12593638
of course dude, you just gotta believe!

>>12593630
Go back to /a/

>>12593638
i could only color with the mouse, for lineart its hard, unless you are one of those talented. I usually sketch i paper,scan, clean up a bit then pour some color

Everything I've done is done by mouse, though that's probably not the sort of assurance you're looking for.

Vector art

Used the pixivchat for the first time
It was fun chatting with people though they weren't very talkative until they knew I spoke English. Then the chat lit up.
One of the people drew this.
It's fucking fantastic.

Whoa that's a nice Sabah

>>12594202
How can you draw there?

>>12594202

>>12594347
Saber is less shit than Arcueid, at least.

NSFW (hope it's okay for helping out a bro).
>>12593638
I made this tutorial for Paint sketching long ago, it works well with either mouse or tablet, as long as you know what you're aiming for. Won't be too nice for practicing and improving in general, but should suffice to achieve your current level of draftsmanship, if you put enough time into it.

>>12594269
You have to be a member of Pixiv.
Once you get to the Pixivchat page you will see all the on air rooms. look for ones tagged フリー.
You'll have two buttons Guest is blue and Player is Orange. Guest lets you watch and Player lets you draw.
It's best to know some Japanese because there might be some who want to talk or welcome you.
>>12594365
>Talking English was a pro?
Well there were a few users in one room that wanted to test their own skills by chatting once they knew I spoke English. It's pretty common for Japanese people who study to want to speak in English when they meet a native speaker. I wanted to use Japanese despite sucking at it but they wanted to use English instead.

>>12594811
>pixivs spontaneously gather around op like fairies around Snow white even if his pixivese sucks

I miss Fran. Cute picture dude.

Depression is an okay motivator when it isn't crippling you.

I drew this. How bad is it

>>12594943

They're broken

>>12594943
Almost as bad as the ones I do.
please remember to check the twisting limit of the human body next time, there are tutorial specifically made to avoid that kind of mistake

>>12594943
Uh, I don't think you can bend like that unless you break something

>>12594933
This is really rad.

>>12594943
Decent until you get to his spine

>>12594943
Pls study anatomy more
Also your eyelashes look like they are apart of the eye.
that pose is impossible

>>12594933
its hard to have moments like "when depression isn't crippling you" when its sense of defeat from your drawings that fuels your cesspool pitch black depression
pretty cool job anyway.

>>12594933
Depression has led to some pretty cool ideas. It still really weighs down on you though.

>>12594968

I know what you mean. The image before is what caused it.

>>12594933
Hush hush, emoanon. I've got you.

>>12594980
What image before, the Dayoucopter?

>>12594988

No the image I was working on before. It came out horribly and I didn't draw for a whole day.

>>12594988
>you will never be a nameless sidecharacter in a Touhou game
>you will never tekitekitekiteki through the skies in a copter fashion shooting kunais
I guess there could be no other reason for depression in the universe, he surely means dayoucopter..

>>12594981
Woah, that's really nice. The fact that the girl's glow isn't affecting the rabbits face is really bothering me for some reason though. OCD maybe?

>>12594981
I just witnessed a really beautiful moment. Cute.

>>12594996
See? I'm not even able to tell if my drawings come out good or not. you have nothing to be depressed about

>>12594996
Last time I went into drawing depression I didn't draw for three months.

>>12595001
As someone easily thrown off by my own OCD, I did a little fix to you. But drawing has been therapeutic since I started to draw loosely, helps me dealing with asymmetries and uneven stuff in general, even in real life.

>>12595031
My record is six years. I don't think anyone here can beat that

>>12595031

I try to draw every day even if it's painful to do so. at the very least I do those posemaniac 30 second poses things to practice. I don't know if I could survive going even a week without doing it. It's all I have left.

>>12595044
>It's all I have left.
Same here. with the difference it makes me feel worse

>>12595085
>tiny baby hand

I'm pretty close to telling you to just stop

>>12595126
Everyone is bad at some point.
You can stop when you die.

>>12595085
The placement of the left nipple is off, it should be facing outward like the other one. Also the general shape of the breasts can be worked on a bit. They seem a bit lumpy, try to study a bit on how gravity affects breasts/fat. Hand should also be larger. Put your hand up to your face to try and figure out the proportions in relation to the rest of the body. Still overall pretty delicious though. Keep working at it anon!

>>12595086
Holy shit I can't top anyone even in negative.
I should just quit

holy shit dude, keep up the good work

>#86 on Pixiv
Okay, this is the last straw
goodbye

>>12595321
>pixiv
That explains the shitty ant resolution. I fucking hate these japs' pixel art.

>>12594933
Depression and work held my comic for 4 years and even im trying to get back in drawing again and even buying a tablet, i dont think i could have the same vigor when im still very active.

>>12595537
It looks cool.

>>12595537
Whenever I'm stuck I try to go in a different direction. Try making a short series in a new style, draw something simple but exploring an area you've been overlooking. It might surprise you and regain some confidence/willpower.

Welp. I drew a furry, time to open the portal to Gensokyo

>>12595635
isn't that just yamabiko scum

>>12595654
No that is OC Donut Steel-chan, can't you read the filename nerd?!

>>12595635
If you imagine her hands are brown, she looks like her arms are huuuuge.

>>12594202
oh god, didn't know that existed
Thanks gonna check that now

>>12594981
You hero

>>12595635
Ever since someone said that she looks like Barfolomew, I can't see her as anything else.

EET life chipping bit by bit
I see time lie at my feet

This is you?
http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?id=4297220

>>12595537
Learn how to zoom out.

>>12596205
Yep.

Finished this today. Thanks for looking.

>>12596482
Gross.

>>12596482
Not a fan of furries but I do like the pose.

>>12596524
I do the furries/monsters to bypass the naked loli rules on the site I frequent. I usually prefer girls aswell.

>>12596530
That sounds like "I do gay sex to bypass the hetero rules on the gay club I frequent", but oh well.
I agree the pose is very nice, I can picture an animation out of this style.

>>12596530
Great, we already have the other guy making the "it's for a friend" excuse with his fursona, now there's this guy with his "I only like furries because I like loli" excuse. Soon those monster girl guys will come flood the thread with their shitty, rule breaking drawings.

At least draw a pizza cat or something. Might as well use stuff from existing IPs if you want some excuse to draw that.

>>12596482
>>12596530
I AM a fan of Kemono and I like it too bad you're just using it to bypass pedophilia because it actually is nice

where's the rest?

>>12593501
Here.

This came out goofy. I might just make it some small thing you come across to zap every now and then and nothing major.

>>12594933
i really like the lighting in that picture
i feel like i'm too far gone as depression i can't use as motivation anymore, it's only painful at this point. my pictures have gotten so stale and i've regressed in skill
>>12596942
the bit of wiggle in the nubs is fun to watch

>>12597045

I think I may have regressed too. However I guess no matter how bad things get I can always continue to work on the jellyfish game. It's finally a project that is simple enough to work on without having to worry about it being too complex. It's what cause the ones before to fall. I'm trying to use ecco as a guideline and inspiration for it.

It's mostly when I do the occasional art commission when I lock up completely. I just can't seem to ever do it.

>>12596871
Excellent.

>>12597045
Then just quit drawing.
"if I work hard, I'll reach and surpass my old self"
"I draw to have fun"
"it helps making me feel better"
lies. if you draw pursuing your now gone skill level, you can only find pain, inadequacy, frustration. and thus you'll not improve.
if you draw with a light heart and actually to have just fun, sooner or later you'll enter in the same spiral of self-improvement attempts until you will break aganist a wall again.
there is no exit, no victory, no light at the end for flawed people with malfunctioning mind like us.
you can stand up again and again and again but you'll fall every time for the same reasons. crawling is the only way to go somewhere for people like us.
because we are weak. weak, weak, weak, weak. hope is something we don't deserve.
the first time you thought "I'm not going to make it" is the reason you don't deserve making it. and your subconscious is happy to enforce this fact.
give up. its what you really want. an eternity of nothing

>>12597164
>this much projecting

>>12597056
i'm really excited for your jellyfish game. i also really ecco as a kid (even though i was terrible at it), so i wonder if that has something to do with it now
>>12597164
i've been drawing forever so to quit it would be like chopping off my legs. it's not the source of my depression, more like depression is fucking up everything including drawing

>>12597326

Currently I'm trying to get some tile sets down. So then I Can really get going with level design. I should probably learn to program some more. The one programmer I knew seems to be really busy and I don't even see him online anymore which is a shame.

But ecco is a big influence. I've been trying to watch playthroughs of it to understand how it works and it seems to be level based which I may do for the sake of simplicity. if I do something like metroid I have to worry about fixing sequence breaking.

Who's the guy that keeps complaining about drawing depression?

>>12597326
since these legs won't carry you anywhere, might as well chopping them off and save yourself from the excruciating pain of trying and failing

H-Here...

>>12597604
What makes your drawing a slav? What differentiates it as a girl? Is that cardboard cutout trying to offer me a box of testicles? Why are its eyebrows trying to escape from its forehead for its hairline? Does this thing have like three arms or what?

>>12597604
Slav girl is very cute

>>12597631
>potato bento
>eyes devoid of any human emotion
the only way to make her more slav is to draw her squatting pal.

>>12597714
potatoes are irish and bentos are japanese...

>>12597718
Then they're beets. beet was Rasputin's totem animal. or maybe its kurwa, even if I never actually got what kind of thing kurwa are

>>12597735
that's a pretty big stretch dude

The big ones are beer ice, the small ones vodka snow

>>12597755
Nice, I like it.

>>12587893

>>12595126
I will never give up

How do you blend colors?
With the water tool?

>>12597910
Pupils there are huge, a bit smaller would look better I think.

>>12597961
presuming you mean sai
i really like the heavy opacity brush in http://lexxercise.tumblr.com/post/80846657959/ive-been-getting-a-lot-of-asks-lately-about-the
for water brush i like http://kairunoburogu.tumblr.com/post/68126197710/when-coloring-do-you-use-the-brush-or-the-marker-tool
some people take a low opacity brush and keep colour picking. i like to use the airbrush or blur tool when i want something super smooth

>>12597961
Use your brushes in the more solid opacity you can, fuzzy painting becomes a vice pretty easily and you never improve your volumes.

After you have blocked everything with hard colors, you can blend by using the blur tool, marker tool or even picking your brush, setting to 10~20% and gently erasing the division between different colors. Remember, Alt+Click = eyedropper, so you can pick midtones all the time and quickly make this blending process.

>>12597910
I like this one alot.
I think you should blend your folds in the clothes a little bit more.
I would watch with how you lineart the hair.. it doesn't seem to flow sometimes and I think if you improve this it would be good.
Keep going.
I believe in you anon!

krita is a little overwhelming, but it i like it so far

>>12598872
These drawings are boring.

>>12583798
OK anon pls redline. Also he is supposed to be holding flowers, but I'll draw them later.

(Men can be 2hus AND hatless too. Check your privileges cis scum)

>>12599145
Men can be Touhous but they slowly turn into girls every time they use their powers.

Rinnosuke isn't doing any fighting because he wants to keep his penis. It already got tiny from his earlier fights and he can't afford to let it shrink any further.

>>12599098
I disagree, the posing one is pretty dynamic and not-Mako looks fun.

Of course they don't have a narrative or background attached to them, but that's not the point of sketches.

>>>/int/31909557

>>12599432
Come shitpost with us

>>12596785
I'm fine with furry, otherwise I wouldn't have drawn it. Not sure what you mean about the rest though

>>12599175
>Men can be Touhous but they slowly turn into girls every time they use their powers.
Is there a series like this? Not fully transforming into a girl each time they use powers but gradually risking losing their dick. Sounds like something that would happen in Darker than Black sorta.

>>12599811
I remember a serie where a guy turns into a magical girl to fight. And everyone is lesbian for him, but is disgusted by his male form.
The show's name was some German word. Can't remember it.

>>12599862
That's Kämpfer and also not what I asked.

This dude doesn't even lift. He only goes to the gym to check out YOUR boyfriend.

He also has a special ability that can make somebody PERMANENTLY gay.

>>12601055
maybe he should get together with >>12599145

>>12601113
Good idea. But only an open relationship.

>>12601146
Oh cool, Minoriko and Shizuha. Nobody ever really draws them.

>>12601055
Wouldn't it be scarier if he only made you temporarily gay? Like say, you'd have a loving relationship with him for a week, only to wake up one day with a sore anus and the dawning realization that you had a loving relationship with him for a week?

Or maybe that's just his daytime masquerade and he turns into a Popobawa at night. He marks his targets at gyms during the day and goes in for the kill after sunset.

>>12601146
>>12601722
And it's a shame, because they're so cute. They have a girl-next-door/childhood friend appeal that the big-name gods can't match.

Great job, there.

>>12601194
Once I finish his full profile, somebody should draw Aiwass-kun and Purple-kun embracing each other in a very homo manner in BL manga artstyle, roses and all.

>>12601146
Hella cute dude.

>>12597631
Since you don't like it I'll make the slav bentogirl again, you better start complaining right now.

>>12603116
He didn't say that he dislikes it. Maybe he actually wanted it to be a three-armed alien androgyne that feeds on testicles and is as thin as a cardboard cutout. Maybe he fantasizes about it squirming its way into his room from under his door, locking him into place with its three arms and sending its super-mobile eyelashes to crawl down his penis and scoop up some delicious testicle tissue for it to eat.

Please be considerate to his fetishes.

>>12603131
I was thinking of something more erotic...

>>12601146
Oh it wool.

Well, time to sleep, good night dudes.

>>12599494
where is the rest of your art?

>>12603390
Change the bento to slavstuff. Bodka, green onion, potato.

Ghosts. The tamer end of monster girls.

>>12604310
What about male ghosts?

>>12604310
Would frig

>>12604324

>>12597841
Man, that mine is so obviously going in the rough. It's like she isn't even trying, I bet she thinks she's above doing practice swings and just swung cold, and now she's going to slow everyone down.

>>12604963
I'll try, thank you :)

>>12604437
Take your 'monstergirl' shit back to /a/. All ghosts can't be girls, dude.

i've been having a hard time making things interesting

i've been having a hard time making things interesting

>>12605428
Now this is interesting!

>>12605428
I changed my mind, please do not be considerate to his fetishes. This is terrifying.

>>12605428
It took me a while to realize the guy you were quoting/referencing mistakenly said "eyelashes" instead of "eyebrows"

>>12605428
That's horrifying.
Nice.

Art and animation is hard but I haven't given up yet, also been busy.
All the animations are WIP

>>12606029
Keep it up man, looking cool!

>>12606029
I hope you'll have combos!

>>12606029
Will this game be CUHRAYZEE?

Does /jp/ like corpses?

>>12605516
guess i'll draw more wacky prompts then
>>12605843
everyone deserves some fap material
>>12607015
i do but she doesn't really look dead. you should try adding more depth to the wounds since it looks painted on, for example where the wounds meet the edges you try indenting it.

>>12606048
Thanks anon
>>12606533
Definitely
>>12606556
Hopefully combat will feel that way, DMC is one of the inspirations

>>12607015
What is her story? She is a cutie. Also I agree with >>12607354 Shoe some of the skin and pieces of flesh actually coming apson asufficiart from the body. It should look a bit more gruesome than that.

>>12607930
>Shoe some of the skin and pieces of flesh actually coming apson asufficiart from

>>12608176
Pretty neat drawings, though I won't be drooling myself over this.

>>12608261

I understand. Maybe I've been thinking about drawing apple girl and the crow some time but I should probably work on my jellyfish game more.

>>12608211
see >>12605848
He drew what was said.

Nekoarc guy Pixiv page vanished. another one down...

Here's a girl that won big in a casino.

>>12608610
Waaaa, jackpot!

>>12608510
I noticed that the other day. I hope he's alright.

>>12608510
>another one down
Why'd you have to go and say that? I'm actually kinda worried now.

>>12610211
Well, when people disappear from /jp/, its pretty rare they come back in other places. its kinda a last resort place. magister, creepy idol guy, that other guy that posted music until last year, its like they never existed

I hope taiyakisoba will make another spanking story soon.

>>12610233
Did magister died?

>>12610835
Last drawing he posted on the blog was more than a year ago iirc.
also he actually is a girl.

>>12610233
that other guy?

>>12610844
>also he actually is a girl
Yeah, no.

Guys I want to start drawing but I don't know where to start. My friend told me to draw something realistic for couple hours straight though.

>>12610965
First thing to ask yourself is what do you wanna draw?

>>12610965
Start with the Greeks.

>>12610965
Realism helps you in any style, it is a good idea to practice it whenever you can.

In parallel, exercise you creativity drawing what you want, but putting effort to make it good.

If you'd like, post some initial sketches of your current skills so we can better tell you where to go.

>>12610938
Man, people that met magister at a con said it was a girl.

>>12610869
He had a youtube channel.

>>12611092
They were lying then, haven't you ever been in one of his streams?

>>12611106
Nope. he did selfies in his streams?

>>12611112
He talks. His voice is nothing girl-like.

>>12611117
Well, probably they lied then.

>>12610988
"Anime", if that's the name of the style.

>>12611041
Ah thanks m8, I will try to practice and post if I can in the future. I thought you guys would be a lot more hostile towards beginners but you anons are nice.

>>12611178
realistic is still good guide for bodies at least.

faces less, but it's still helpful for proportions so you don't end up with uguu faces.

>>12611178
Definitely study realism then as that will help you with anatomy and proportions. Do you have any particular artists you really like? Study some of their art too, try to emulate their styles and see what they do to achieve it. And over time you may find your own quirks that you like and form your own style.

http://a.pomf.se/ebcynn.mp4
I added some fish finally although they look kind of weird around the edges and I don't know why. These ones are pretty tiny though so I might not bother making turning animations for them for now because they're just background details really.


>>12611102
Do you mean the one guy with the mustache who made the music video of him in that white outfit? I remember him.

>>12611582
Yeah, that guy. I forgot he had mustache
I'm not a great electronic music expert, but those little songs were pretty pleasant.

>>12611582
>>12611622
I'm still here guys, just took a break from music.
I'm trying to focus on my loli game right now.
mediafire.com/download/qikt86zkh8pacy5

>>12611642

you're also the loli dungeon guy?

>>12611642
...what the actual fuck, there's something you can't do? what the hell are you doing in this elephants graveyard of a thread?

>>12611659
No, side scrolling beatemup loli game

>>12611663

Oh. I think I follow you on that one tumblr. The backgrounds looked neat.

Page 9, autosaging, /jp/ oc thread manages to make me feel bad for not being able to do accomplish anything, again, with this guy that does music, games, videos and cute drawings
what the HELL I am even doing here

>>12611688
you're here for inspiration to drive forward yourself and your art

>>12611688
You can do it Anon. I believe in you!

>>12611695
Inspiration? fuck you and Asano, just cross my heart with a knife and let me have a break

>>12611703
thanks Santa

>>12611704
can you not bully me please if you want to bully yourself thats fine but not me okay thanks

>>12611712
You can't stop me from bullying you by bullying myself

>>12611688
If you don't do anything, you'll never accomplish anything either.

Failing is part of the process, get over it several times or sink in self-pity.

>>12611688
You'll never do anything well if you don't try and put some effort in. I'll just be over here putting my gun in my mouth.

One day I'll contribute to these threads
but not today

>>12611881
What if i put a lot of effort but ended up with doing anything? also wait, I got some gas for both. we can have a nice coffee while we die

>>12611899
You know an underachiever when he'd rather die than admit he is not really trying.

>>12611915
Depends about what you intend for "really trying" I guess

>>12611935
Anyone who tries enough will eventually get somewhere satisfactory, people are always saying how they wish they knew how to draw, but weren't born with the same "gift" as someone who does.

The only gift such a person has is the willpower to fill notebooks and notebooks with shitty stuff until they get better. There is a huge gap between wanting to draw and wanting to draw enough to actually try.

>>12611958

I have a lot of old sketchbooks I think I eventually threw out that had all my really bad stuff.

>>12611958
>will eventually get somewhere satisfactory
this also depends on you. I don't trust my judgement the slighest, so I can only get feedback from other people. and its clear when they give you positive comments just out of politeness, just watch in their faces
its so damn easy to understand when one is lying, its not even funny

>>12595571
Thanks anon. Tho recently im trying to do a bit of comic again, but i guess not as sfw. There's a lot and learn using these drawing softwates and its somehow what is driving me.

>>12612025

>>12612036
Is that the black guy of Thundercats?

>>12612036

>>12612043
I don't know. It was something i doodled at lunch break. I bring my tablet to work and use it hopong i could get the hang of it more.

>>12612047
Avoid using white things that shouldn't be extremely reflexive. The trees look plastic.

>>12611994
/jp/ and /ic/ are pretty honest, even more than many can take.

>>12612025
Whatever you do, DON'T FUCKING STOP until it's finished.
If it turns out good, you might even consider selling it.

>>12612036
anime is for retards.

>>12612103
Thanks. I kinda stopped as well as i didn't like the look of the trees and try to experiment with some tools first.
>>12612111
Its only 4 pages. It was a request from other draw thread that i picked up and trying to learn about it in the process.

>>12612123
Haha nice and im pretty surr ive seen that look before

>>12612173
Yeah, I just remembered that request with shlicking.

>>12612173
>im pretty surr ive seen that look before
Its Captain Harlock you fucking faggot

Time to get fucked off pills and try, figure out why it looks like broken and hopefully not OD again.

>>12612272
It looks pretty solid. It just needs some... personality.

If you're practicing anatomy, keep up, it looks good. Next step would be loosening up a bit your poses, thinking of silhouette, curviness, being overall economic with your lines.

The hair looks like shit though, the chicken scratch kills its soft nature.

I'm almost done with the base colors
