/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Tell me how to draw cute boys. Not fujoshi cute, with pointy chins and big hands and looking like tall flat women, but adorable otouto-like boys that aren't traps.

juicebox

>>18223500
I hope not too trappy for what you're shooting for, but in pic related I tried to maintain male features while making them androgynous, but still (hopefully?) distinctively male. Like a chin that is slightly more narrow than a typical males, but still wider than a girls/womans. I have overdone the eyelashed for sure, though.
The head itself I tried to make less round/longer than a typical girl head, with a more pronounced jawline.
That's what I tried to do, at least. The result isn't quite what I hoped for, but I do think you can tell, by the face, that it's a cute boy instead of a cute girl.

>>18220125
Foreshortening on that calf looks like she has babby legs

other than that you have potential to surpass most if not all usual suspects.

>>18229960
>>18230043
Good stuff, as always. Can't tell if it's just part of the style or me being nitpicky where I don't need to be, but it seems to me the buoy is a little cross-eyed.
Props on the girl though. Very pretty.

>>18220125
Thought it's gonna be another month-long wait.

>>18229960
>>18230043
Exactly what the demon dude above has said.

>>18225450
I can only tell that it's a boy by the combination of slighly pronounced pecs and manly neck. The face is closer to a female one.

>>18231322
Dang it.

>>18220125
Thought it's gonna be another month.

>>18223500
I know a dude who's kind of good at this.
https://orekifag.deviantart.com/
Although he mainly posts his shotas in his vk fan group:
vk com /orekifag

>>18225450
I can only tell it's a male by the combination of pecs and the inside of the neck. The outlines of the neck, the face, and the legs don't have anything masculine about them, but they do fit a trap of considerable danger for straight folk.

good to see you're alive, you post so rarely

>>18225527
i'm not the artist I just used the last relevant image from the previous thread

i'm having trouble with anatomy.
(ignore the hands, i gave up on those)

>>18238035
Go study images of young women so you can learn anatomy AND not draw 50 year old lady boobs.

Concept Stand for my current project.

>>18231384
Well damn, I knew some shit was quite far off, but I had hoped that I at least somewhat managed to keep it ambiguous. Well, back to the paper in that case. I've drawn quite a few fuccboi, but they often end up too clearly male for my taste, other times way too feminine.

As for your Raymoo, the most glaring issues for me are her boob to our right, which doesn't properly follow her ribcage, her hand, which needs some bone structure adjustment, and I think you should make her head a tad bigger, since as of now her body is rather large in comparison.

>>18231816
Happy new year dude, glad to see you drop by now and again.

>>18237137
Those dragons look really cool man! I like them. That banana-gon is pretty freaky.

>>18238035
What >>18238162 said, drawing from reference and studying real anatomy is best way to learn it. You have to get the basics down in order to bend them properly.

>>18238419
Stand as in Jojo?
Looks interesting so far.

Did some free-form monster designing a while ago. So no guidelines, no references - just drawing whatever comes to mind.

I tried today (yesterday), /jp/.

>>18231816
Happy new year, ham.

currently working on this one, not planning to finish it. I'm just gonna do the line work and that's that.

>>18260921
Very very nice.
She reminds me of Aika from Skies of Arcadia - and alternatively, the elf girl from Dragons Crown... but who is she? An OC?

>>18263374
Hmmm too bad, as there are quite a few things that could use fixing, especially anatomically and the foreshortening.
Also, this comes down to preference, but I never take Clownpiece as the calm and collected type. Still, nice effort. Keep going, friend.

That being said, thanks for listening.
As for the doublebass-drum parts, I think the biggest problem is that I didn't quite catch the timing, it's pretty off-rythm. Once I fix the timing issues, it'll be much better - I hope - but yes, they aren't working too well in that version.

I think there is something wrong with the way her thighs attach to her body and the thiccness of the far thigh, but please don't rely on my meager anatomy knowledge. I couldn't redline it properly.

These are my thoughts.

pls draw more outlines of 2hus lewd bodies

>>18290824
I'm not the guy who usually draws outlines of lewd fairies, if that is what you imply, and I'm not particularly interesting in outlining bodies just for fun, unless it's a porn scene that I take a particular liking to, in order to understand how to improve my own lewds.

>>18289333
Looks nice, friend. What is she gawking at?

>>18289531
Don't worry, my body is a fortress. A fat, slobbering fortress.
Good pic, is the arrow missing her head? I sure hope so.

>>18290386
Looks good, but I see what >>18290499 means, especially with the thigh to our right, but depending on perspective, it could definitely work - she is a wide-hipped girl, after all. More importantly though, I think aforementioned thigh need to be a bit slimmer.

>>18290554
I think you have good ideas.
Other than that, the outlines did show some issues that I'd recommend analyzing for yourself and adjusting accordingly. Keep at it, dude.

>>18289238

Oh wow I can't believe I forgot about such a memorable tune from an equally memorable game, albeit it was bit hard to sit through at times and a real shame about the ending... I actually like your version a little better since I'm just more of a fan of the acoustic feel than the drum-y vibe.

Aight, I've been practicing for a while. Any tips or resources on how to improve?
I'd ask /ic/ but they are bullies

>>18309623
Mechanical skills. Try to use fewer and longer strokes even though you're working with pencils. DrawABox is the classic tutorial for this although the author's reverence for felt-tip pens is a little manic.

If you have difficulty separating your sketch from your final lineart, try using a pale blue color pencil for construction. Then when you switch to graphite, "feel out" the motion for each stroke without touching the paper, then do it in one go.

Ignoring the shitty hair and everything else, why do my eyes looks so flat?

>>18311004
Your missing the pupil for the eyes. You should also add shading and highlights to the eyes to make it less flat.

what think?

>>18317309
Ribcages don't work this way, dude. For a good example of how they work, you can refer to the umu above. (Look at its length and hip connection angle; also google female skeletons.) Can't praise your grasp of other anatomy or body dynamic either. Right now the body rather looks broken. This pic is a good description of what you did wrong. You captured neither a motion nor a natural state. Just try to stand like that, dude.

The far ring is not shaped like a ring should be shaped, it looks like an inflated balloon or a sausage. If you can't draw a proper ellipse freehand, consider either using programmed tools or doing Peter Han's exercise from the very first lesson of Dynamic Sketching. (You can do without it if you practice long enough and use Ctrl+Z a lot.) Besides, these are not ellipses or round rings; they have a specific shape that's flat at the inside and probably quite sharp at the outer edge.

What if you removed the ears and made the hair two giant ears?

>>18359916
I have another character whose design is similar to what you just described, pic related, but I think you mean you want the twintails to be ears. I like them as twintails.

I don't have better finished pictures to show as of now, but here's a picture of a cat and a cow trying to tickle her paws so that the thread doesn't die while I'm asleep.

>>18352564
Also, thank you for the reply.

>>18375013
Unless you intended her to be of "heroic male" proportions, I'd advise you to measure vertical proportions of head to everything else more carefully. Some other points include (in order of importance):
1) Pubic lines (crevices between the thighs and the pelvis that make up the titillating shape of a female pubis) should be closer to each other. They simply continue the inner outlines of thighs, so you shouldn't put them so far apart, or they will imply that she has Buchenwald-tier legs.
2) It seems that she has a disproportionately long forearm, and it's not the one that she wears her control rod on, so it can't be really justified.
3) Do not forget about the eyebrows. It instantly makes a face look reptile- or alien-like, especially when coupled with the lack of nose.
4) Hips start slightly above the navel line, and the navel line itself is a bit too low. The space between the hips and the ribcage is usually narrower, as even the female ribcage is a bit bigger and I already said that the hips start a bit above.
5) This hair movement doesnt' read well / is hard to justify.
6) Study the shape of a leg closely. This here is not the best reference, as it lacks side views, but you can infer some very important points from it.
7) While many anime artists, even professional ones, disregard this, I advise to follow the standard leg proportions: 1 female foot = head length (vertical) = 0.5 lower leg length; lower leg length = about 0.9 thigh length. Basically, if you sit in seiza, your butt will sit on your heels—at least that is the case with most humans who are capable of bending their legs enough to sit in seiza. Remember this.

>>18353030
>>18363326
You seem to have some potential compared to most of the rest of the artist here

Rabbits, left eye is a bit too big and Kneeling girl is a bit stiff

>>18377602
>Do not forget about the eyebrows. It instantly makes a face look reptile- or alien-like, especially when coupled with the lack of nose.
Not the guy you quoted, but I didn't even notice the lack of eyebrows. Is that what people who don't like "anime style" see? Reptile faces on moe characters?

>>18377876
I have no idea. But I can say for a fact that people who are used to moe often don't see asymmetry in staple "qt" drawings yet are quick to call a more realistic face creepy.

>>18377876
Oh, but wait a second there. If you care for a quiz, try to reason out which one of these faces was called "reptile-like" and "definitely not anime" by the person who did the other one.

>>18378692
That's because 3dpd.

>>18353030
>>18363326
Reminds me of this other jaypee oc poster who made really cute touhous. I have a folder of his work in another computer. So cute! Please post more ;_;

>>18378807
That's cute. Please come back drawfag.

>>18378717
They're both garbage because of side mouth

>>18378872
It's interesting that you call an epitome trait of animoo style garbage as well.

>>18378906
Not him but side mouth is only used in animation because it's easier and faster to animate than doing proper jaw movement, not because it's nicer to look at. If you look at high budget anime like movies for example they tend to avoid it.

It's like how Western cartoons draw the characters with four fingers, they don't do it because a four fingered hand is aesthetically pleasing, but because it's easier to draw and animate.

>>18378692
That's because there's a thing called the uncanny valley. It's easier to make a corpse or a mutant than a truly realistic drawing, whereas with a simpler one, your mind fills in the details. Plus a drawing is just a representation, a caricature. A realistic drawing is just a bad photograph.

I also wanted to point out that real life people don't necessarily have eyebrows for various reasons, and while it's bothersome depending on the rest of the face, people don't typically call them "reptilian"

>>18378717
As for this, I don't know, but the right side one looks "reptilian" because the lack of heavy iris shading makes it look like the eyes are slit and glassy. Also this >>18378872

>>18378906
Its an epitome trait of modern anime, which is shit.

>>18379027
>> because the lack of heavy iris shading makes it look like the eyes are slit and glassy
You know, that's a really interesting point. I would never have thought of that, although I'm not sure if shading really makes it better in this regard. But it does make the lineart look more "real."

That aside, I've recently come to be OK with sideways mouths. In some contexts—most prominently, porn doujins—they work better than more realistic openings and are easier to draw alluringly, so I could understand the author's intent here.
Not with the original angle and the square jaw though.

>>18379248
>doujins
I think the term you're looking for is "doujinshi".

>>18379406
Hi there, newfriend or old fart. Enjoy your stay.

>>18379575
>newfriend or old fart
How does being correct make me either of those?

>>18379701
You'd have long since learned to tolerate this bastardization otherwise.

>>18378979
That's wrong. Side mouths are not only prevalent in anime but manga and VNs as well. Although they do provide a shortcut in animation, side mouths are primarily a stylistic choice.

Sup, jay. It's been a while since I posted a drawing in one of these threads. Have I improved?

>>18382646
>>18383848
Looks like you did somewhat, but for comparison it's best to draw the same picture again, going all out. The older one is much more complex, while the new one is simply bland default "moe" which I have long since grown tired of.

>>18383365
I advise you to work hard on your perspective, anatomy (mostly hips/pelvis and neck/head, but you may also need to learn the shape of legs, depending on your understanding of where they should be—right now the right leg doesn't look believable), and positioning (i.e., improve your understanding of space). Your lineart makes coloring easier, but it's just not interesting to look at.

>>18384616
>simply bland default "moe" which I have long since grown tired of
You got a problem.

>>18384616
>older one is much more complex, while the new one is simply bland default "moe"
The older one is a generic swimsuit scene and the new one is a generic "moe" face, not such a thing as more complex.

>>18385642
Drawing 4*4/5 girls in perspective, one of which interacts with an object, another one interacts with her hair, and all of them have different and expressive poses, equals drawing 2*1/3 of the same girl in two expressive yet less different poses? Wew lad.

>>18385555

Where's a good place to post 2hu drawings?

>>18388273
right here

>>18388273
At 4chan—this thread for SFW or NSFW pictures with censored or well-hidden NSFW parts. (Although meido doesn't seem to delete pics with ambiguous white liquid.) Or respective characters' threads if you want to get more comments. For posting uncensored porn you can go to /ic/ or /i/.
Otherwise, Pixiv and Twitter are OK as image dumps. Deviantart seems to have less demand for Touhou, but if you work hard and draw well, your chances of making it (becoming successful and, maybe, getting paid for your drawings) are better than with Twitter or Pixiv only. Hentai-foundry is also a good site for porn made specifically to jerk off to. Simple erotica won't even get through the approval queue, or so I've heard.
Patreon is good for people who have already achieved huge popularity and get lines of clients. You can post anything there, as long as it's the content your customers want.

I only know a few jp artists tumblrs and pixivs like pixel or smurf

>>18389174
Not that I know of, although I have just googled such a booru with the latest post (after spam) dated 2012. Still, most of the people who post here have a pixiv or, if there is none, at least a deviantart/instagram/twitter/etc. account.

>>18388211

>>18391828
It's interesting that comparatively many people seem to notice this line. I thought I hid it well enough.

>>18388211
FUCK HER IN THE ASS !

>>18389174
Well, there's this.

>>18238876
I'm kinda late, but that's super adorable! Do you have a blog?

What color should her hair be? I'm thinking light pink

>>18403903
Green or BUST
Also, cute

>>18404018
Surprisingly, Green is not too bad. I don't work with green hair very often.

>>18405280
It works with the gems on her clothes.

Copics are fun

More recent attempt at the lop-eared maid

>>18406411
These ears look really comfy.
How's the progress on that book?

>>18406850
The writing part is finished. It may be a while before all the illustrations are done, however. I am very much looking forward to releasing it though.

>>18382646
>>18383848
Oh hey I remember you. Yea I'd say you improved, your linework most of all.

>>18375013
>>18402208
Really neat. Your stuff makes me feel comfy.

>>18402782
Did she eat something spicy?

>>18403903
>>18405280
Conceptually, the pink hair brings more variety to the color palette, while the green hair makes it more unified. I don't know which I'd say is better, both are very nice. You could try to change the color of the gems to pink, a slight palette swap, see how that works.

>>18406263
Your pic is fun

A friend of mine released his second solo album a few days back and I provided him with the cover art. Considering the time it took, I'm really unsatisfied. Oh well, it's my first big landscape.

>>18410143
The other girl's clit was too salty.

>>18415483
Her lower legs look surprisingly fascinating.

Am I pixiv level yet

it's not really /jp/ related, but, I'm making a sonic fangame

>>18424425
Clearly you haven't seen the shit people post there. That aside, I think this picture is fucking rad and its author will easily gain a following. Not sawasawa, of course, but pretty cool nevertheless.

>>18424425
Nice! I'd follow you.

/tg/ had an amazing idea the other day for a character I thought I'd share.

A mafia Neko because mobsters go "Yah, see" But this Neko would go "Nyah~, See?" and the fedora tipping would just be icing on the cake while they wore an absolute anime style of fashion.

>>18455837
I'm pretty sure that's going way overboard.

>>18455893
no requests fucko

>>18455837
why is she perfectly normally proportioned in this thumbnail

I was going to post the next chapter of what I was writing, but I've already blown past it for the past month, and just kept churning out chapter after chapter instead. Now, when I read back at what I wrote then, it already feels dissatisfactory... Should I post my shit anyway before I rewrite it? I don't know when (or if) I'll get into the mood to rewrite them, and it's pretty silly to just post whatever chapter I want since it's chronological. (or is it?)

>>18458454
It's probably better to get opinions before you rewrite it and get more opinions that may possibly be the same.

>>18458573
Good point. I'll go ahead and post my shit then.

I hope /jp/ doesn't mind something other than pastebin. As far as I know, it pastebin doesn't have italics, but I needed that functionality, so I whisked it over to an fc2 blog instead.

http://lemonseedlibrary.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-5.html

I do have it formatted in a way that can be put on pastebin, though, but the italics have / / tags around them (since I write on notepad).

>>18431447
did she have any generic follower sidekicks/party members

>>18451049
I'm bust studying 3d (and when I'm drawing, I'm usually doing other stuffs), so the comic itself haven't really progressed. Still, a good amount of 3d stuffs I'm working on is related to the project, that lets me tweak the setting and characters since I'm taking my time.

>>18459076
No, she's on her own.

>>18461670
Oh yeah, and the actual 3d content bits.

Was reworking on my movie scene I made last year, on Unreal Engine this time. Also planned to rework on the characters models.

Tried my hands at trance for the first time. Making this was surprisingly fun and for once I'm not entirely unsatisfied with the result, although there's of course lots of room for improvement still.

>>18455906
Because he only made her torso and legs fat.

Nitori mechs!

>>18468246
It's more like he DIDN'T make the torso fat, that's why it looks so grossly inc... unproportional.

>>18469219
Bretty gool.

Anyone mind critting me?
Inb4 lip fangs

>>18471551
Don't scratch into the paper like that, it's far too harsh and does horrible things to your line quality.

Legs too short compared to torso, check your proportions.

>>18471551
You should pull her nose and chin out a little more, like in pic related. That will make her look a bit cuter (if that's what you're going for). It may also be good to make her bangs a bit thicker so they match the hair in the back. Also, I think her shoulders should twist slightly more since she's looking behind her. If you turn your head sideways, you'll notice that your shoulders and upper torso are affected by it too.

>>18471932
I wanted to make it seem like the viewing point is level with his head, causing his torso and legs to shrink.
I guess I didn't do well enough.
How should I do it?

>>18471551
I hate this gay trap.

>>18474562
Then you have to draw the parts of the body in perspective facing away from us. You can't just draw them straight up and down and make them smaller to show distance, you have to actually rotate the form.

>>18469219
Neat.

Drew this cute smol girl a while ago. I wish I was good at coloring.

>>18479865
IMO, this kinda coloring fits such an image pretty well.

>>18479987
I'll need to experiment with it some more.

>>18480005
Do it then. Complaining ain't gonna solve nothing.
If you need some links on coloring and aim for a more realistic or CG-like look—sure thing, have my usual treat. Since I only bothered to learn about 20% of the information that they give there, it means you can learn to color five times better than me if you take it seriously.

Holy crap that's adorable. Nice work.

>>18479865
looks like Tenshi for some reason

>>18480106
That your drawing anon? Got a link if its nsfw, looks nice.

People usually say I'm shit though.

>>18487326
I was sure of that too until I looked at the pixiv tags closely.

>>18487771
Pretty nice anon. Keep up with those fundies.

>>18487820
I guess it really shows that I never bothered to grind them, huh...

>>18488201

>>18424425
Yes; actually you're probably above 95% of what can be found on Pixiv. This is a lovely drawing. Very nice, thick lines, great shading - all around amazing.

>>18428561
>>18469219
Very, very nice. The mech pic especially. Really cool perspective, too. I'd love to read a comic in this style.

>>18471551
One important thing I'd like to recommend to you is to be mindful of foreshortening. When you want to apply certain perspectives/angles in your drawings, you have to be aware of which part of the body will appear "shortened" and what covers what. You should read up on that. Good luck.

>>18479865
She turned out very, very cool. I relate strongly to the color problem. My favourite part of this pic is her kinda leaning pose, as well as her shoes.

I did a little more work on a sketch I posted a while back. I work on it a little everytime I have to ride the train.
Also, this is a piece of music I made a while back. It's nothing too special, but I really like how the part at 1:18 turned out. I hope some of you like it.

I drew a miku. It's my first drawing since 5th grade. Is it ok?

>>18494359
For a first grade since 5th grade if that grade was no less than 7 years ago? Sure. Would be unfair to expect anything better of you.

But if you want to continue, you have to start with the very basics. You can find them at /ic/. Godspeed.

>>18494471
Thanks mate

>>18494359
It's traced, isn't it?

i just drew this girl character, is she cute? What do you think? body is cropped out for now for reasons

>>18504455
Very cute. Whats that hairstyle called? Hime with gaps?

>>18281341
This guy is reporting in. Still suck but less. I should draw more.

Forgot to post

>>18509269
Cute Kyoko

>page 9

>>18515210
I thought you've been practicing this whole time...
But, well, at least the face is a bit more girlish this time around.

>>18514589
Those are really flowy and expressive

>>18514589
I'll take three of the depressed girl in the middle

>>18493673
This looks amazing holy shit. You drew with a mechanical pencil?

>>18528444
How long does it take to do each sketch?

>>18528759
5mins at most except for the lighting study on the bottom left

>>18424481
Looks good. But may I ask how isn't this related to /jp/?

Drew this leaf girl. She's not very /jp/ though. Maybe next time!

>>18536289
she looks pretty cute! nice job anon!

happy birthday to me /jp

being middle aged sucks

good thing i quit my day-job yesterday

gonna try this for real this time, wish me luck!

remember, life is short so reach for your dreams /jp

>>18536710
I read this as "life is too short to reach for your dreams" at first and was severely discouraged

>>18536710
happy birthday, what's the age range of "middle aged" exactly?

>>18536710
Well I'm liking your line work at least, you draw well old man

>>18536710
Its too late, you will never make it.

>>18536710
Your birthday is the same as the day Aniki died. How does that make you feel? Honestly curious.

>>18536710
Happy birthday to you. Please continue drawing oldschool qts. How much of an old fart are you now?

>>18538301
It depends on your timezone, bruh. Even in America the time of his post should be about 12:00 am.

>>18536289
Nice work, do you have any blog?

>>18504455
Crop it back for all reasons
She looks fairly cute, not a big fan of how you made the ear look, the eyes also have some minor issues, but otherwise nice job.

>>18515210
What am I looking at, exactly.

>>18528444
Really cool stuff. 5 minutes is rather quick, the consistency and accuracy, I still take 2 - 3 minutes more and have more issues with anatomy.

>>18536289
That's a very cute leaf girl, but her head being so chibi-esque while her body is quite long and realistically proportioned kinda freaks me out, dude. Still, super clean and nice.

>>18536710
Happy belated birthday dude. Cool stuff as always. Favourite facial expressions are bikini girl, "Huh-yeah"-girl and the one to twin-tail girls right.

>>18537485
Really neat as always. Don't really know what else to say these days since you make the minimalistic approach work just fine.

>>18520560
Thank you! I'm glad you like it.
It's a ballpoint pen, actually. I don't know why, but I like their feeling and how they look the most. Only downside is that I can't use guidelines (or only make them very, very thin) and that one error means certain death, pretty much, since I can't erase it.

I tried today, /jp/.

>>18514589
>>18528444
These are really cute and have a lot of potential! It reminds me, I need to draw faster.

>>18536710
Happy belated birthday! What are your plans, career-wise? Will you be pursuing art..?

>>18528444
If I kill and eat you do I attain your mystical powers?

>>18546961
ah, a little anime boy, a real rarity. i should practice drawing boys as well. toriyama warned me not to only draw cute girls, but i didn't listen.

been about a million years since I've cruised the jay
forgot how insignificant these threads make me feel

I really like the hut and environmental thing. I should really work on that sort of thing.

thanks, old job used was at a grocery store
i think i have PTSD from working there
now i just want to draw my waifus
too bad i'm now a middle aged NEET with no connections

Go talk to some 40-50 people and get called a kid.

tasukete /jp/ I'm getting bullied by feet ankles and shoulders

>>18550801
>> I'm getting bullied by feet
Um. Tasukete, you say...
Okay, you run. I'll valiantly take your place.

For feet, look up naturalton, xiao_ren, and oouso, then just memorize and copy what they do. The same for ankles plus houtengeki. Sketchfab models will do fine for shoulders in standard positions, and you yourself with a large mirror will do for less standard positions.

>>18550468

Getting there myself, but I've given up on my dreams long ago. I wish you a better ending.

did this in a shitpost thread..

>>18550468
you don't give a shit about Anaki, you could've drawn him oh wait you can only draw samefaced girls nevermind

I tried today, /jb/.

>>18548076
I need to draw more little boys, too.

>>18549399
Very cute! The style is familiar, do you have a blog?

dunno if you remember me but we have talked before, i've been away from /jp/ and the public net for a while though cause of a slight breakdown. used to have a pixiv but i deleted it.
do you still have a blog? i saw it once but i forgot what it's called

>>18549728
the proportions are a bit megaman-ny i suppose

>>18554965
I think it's because she resembles Kukuri from Mahojin Guru Guru

>>18555836
It's more the simple colors. It reminds me of something I'd see in a manual or like related character illustrations. The chibi-ness, too to a lesser extent.

>>18554965
>I think it's because she resembles Kukuri from Mahojin Guru Guru

nice try

>>18515605
Thats from december. I had to make some decisions about my art. I went through many phases of adding color to my art, doing gelbooru tier porn, to doing formal paintings, and back to square 1 in a way. But im back to studying manga and posting more manga style environments and characters on my insta. So make of that what you will. Hope im a lot better in the future from now.

>>18557501
This one is better, yes.
Right now you primarily need to study female anatomy extensively. Your girls still look very masculine. I advise watching and studying lots of porn and naked touhous. Loomis, H-Gal, or
https://mega.nz/#F!yR4zlS4Q!GSQbUOOBWK81q-mjPcFnuQ
Are still very much applicable.

Also, don't use such thick lines when you do cross-hatching. It's even worse if you do cel shading at the same time. Makes it look like the character has body hair.

Continue practicing gestures and perspective distortions too.

>>18550733
man, haven't met any sempais that old though

>>18552031
don't quit, just be stupid like me and go do it

>>18552455
FUCK YOU
actually you're right, i tried but failed to draw Aniki. i felt uncomfortable and had to stop and starting drawing some waifus. in life, you have to know your strengths and weaknesses

>>18554297
hi!
i seldom get to talk with fellow artists beyond these posts so that'll be nice:

mecharoboham@gmail.com

>>18558194
>i felt uncomfortable
Well in the end, you were essentially trying to draw gay porn in memorial of a meme. Maybe your common sense just kicked in too hard.

>i felt uncomfortable
Well in the end, you were essentially trying to draw gay porn in memorial of a meme. Maybe your common sense just kicked in too hard.

Also middle age is like 40s, 50s, early 60s before you become a senior at 65. It's the age of "mature" housewives and bald fat guys who fuck manga highschool girls. You're still just a normal 20 something-30 something adult for another 5-10 years. This is what I meant really. A real middle age person would just laugh at you for still being young.

>>18549832

really big breasts

Very nice.

>>18549448
Hey that's pretty neat

>>18558552
there's something called a 'binary' tool in Paint Tool Sai. It puts down 1px lines as long as you keep the brush size down to 1.0x. I guess it's also good for pixel art too.

>>18563333
nice tips... I mean trips

the breast are nice too

>>18564823
Apparently, huge boobs are so captivating for you that you start confusing trips with quadruples. What a filthy pervert.
