Is it that bad? I was going for an ``in ecstasy'' kind of look, but I guess that didn't really work out then. I guess it's probably the eyes.
I'm happy that you like the background, though. It was the first time I tried drawing a comlete background and it took forever, even if it looks pretty simple.
I guess I'll go back to drawing smaller pictures/sketches for a while, as Anon suggested in the other thread.

they are very happy and do cute things all day, like cosplaying and drinking tea, but one day he gets raped by a disgusting normie 3dpig female in front of the /jp/er, making the boyfriend impure and rotten.....forever

the boyfriend ends up becoming a normie addicted to pussy and gets a job

So, veteran drawfags, how do I into chinese eyes?
I can draw normal eyes on a normal human face, but when it comes to manga they're always 2dimensional (flat) and in the wrong place or angle.

That was sarcasm about the greatly simplified forms some drawing styles use. It was very typical during the 90's for noses to be pointy and have no thickness, and the line would follow the center of the nose ridge exactly.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11062640
No, I meant the pupil and only the pupil. The iris being oval is the least strange thing about anime irises.

For one, they tend to take up most, if not all of the eye space, like a cat's, leaving little room for sclera. For two, they also change shape and size, like the pupils, which is just weird, but also done in western things, so it's not worth thinking about irises in cartoons at all. It should be one of those near-taboo things like contemplating anime contacts or wondering about the sideburn area of a two-eared catgirl's head.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11062570
Speaking of anime anatomy, I seriously don't understand how to represent anime eyes in 3D space.

Normal human eyes are easy, its just an eyeball in a socket, but when I think of anime art I always think of it as a flat eye pasted on the face.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11063508
Its not, its just a bigger eyeball on a bigger socket, But the Iris usually gets oval shaped, thats it

[Anonymous No.]

>>11063508
Anime eyes are 4-dimensional objects, you can only see a projection in 3D space and even then you have to apply a special kind of projection to see them in 2D space.

As an aside: out of all the albums and countless gigabytes worth of touhou arranges, I think I've only ever heard maybe 4 or 5 songs that could be classified as post-rock and -- more to the point -- none for post-metal, so I'm on a mission to become the first person to make a touhou post-metal album.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11065401
There's no hint of roundness in either the shape of the face or the shading. Most pictures also have a bit of shading for the nose.

Also, you have the related problems of "super angular jaw" and "no cheekbones whatsoever" which are actually just a single problem if you think about it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11065365

[Anonymous No.]

>>11065413
Well, the head was supposedly tilted up a little, that's why I tried to put the face up a little higher. I didn't try to make the chin too extended. That's also one of the poses I'm having a hard time getting right.

Also, the shading on the nose was too light, it seems, but it's there. I just didn't want it too look exaggerated. Oh well.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11065428
If her face is tilted up a bit it just means that she should be showing more neck, it doesn't change where the mouth is in relation to the chin. Try lowering the mouth, lowering the blush stickers and raising the point at which the side of her face angles by a bit. Then try shading the face.

Do try starting from guidelines or do I go straight to drawing the figure or the body a a whole?
From experience, when I tried drawing as a whole I tend to get too focused on one part, and I end up not being able to connect it to anything.
As for guidelines, I can't do well with them because I tend to end up with insanely thin people as the outcome.

I'll try to change what I can, but trying to alter the outline or any part of it is quite difficult in paint, so I'm not so sure on how much I could change. Thanks anon.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11065446
For what it's worth, your outline doesn't have the flat problem. Maybe it's just the shading you want to mess with before you try anything else

[Anonymous No.]

>>11065365
Though it's nice to see creative poses, the one you chose here isn't really possible outside of a zero-g environment or without extremely straining the body to be uncomfortable. It reads well because most anime-styled illustrations such as splash screens favor this type of unrealistic pose, but I think it might hinder you.
Imagine if you tried to jump like that, with your feet overlapping/touching while your knees are parted, and reaching behind you (at a perfect right angle) at the same time. Surely you feel the strain on your spine?
All the same I know what you were going for, but before trying to do just creative poses you should look into natural poses, and maybe try interesting/different angles or compositional tricks instead. Sorry if this sounds harsh, but I see you have potential and it would be a shame to have it wasted.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11065485
Also, a minor thing, but I think you could afford to add a slight bit of volume to the hair especially near the back of the skull and where it meets the forehead, so it doesn't just look so flat against the head.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11065485
>>11065493
Not at all. I deeply appreciate these kinds of criticism. Also, realism is also one thing I'll try to improve, thanks.
About the hair, I tried drawing something like a ponytail, but it seems to make the hair volume a lot less without looking like a ponytail. I guess the shading's partly at fault again.

It's quite lopsided, you do flip your images every now and then to look for mistakes?

not very good.
>>11062436
It's op. The highest point of his heads tend to appear a bit far back, but it's ok I guess. Take note how op's eyes are drawn at different widths because the front of the face is not flat.
>>11062520

>>11069299
you have to improve your line control and volume definition

also it's hard to critique something effectively if the artist isn't more "ambitious" about what they are drawing

drawing busts is okay for just playing around but for real practice you should be trying to include the whole figure with as much detail as possible, so no hiding hands or feet

I can't really judge your ability to express values since you went mainly for line art but I can see from how you rendered her eyes that you at least have a very rudimentary grasp on how light works

obviously a basic pen tool would make it hard to express value effectively for a beginner, cross-hatching is a very technical and difficult skill, so I would suggest either trying to render value in pencil or buying a cheap used tablet if you have to draw digitally.

good effort, though

that is one huge butt, dude. Try not to fall into the idea that a lot of very bad porn artists, especially western ones, that butts are supposed to be big huge circles. They're not. Their shape is more subtle than that. Your drawing just looks a bit silly, still quite hot though,

If you guys are attempting to mimic zipatone/chartpac select flood fill the texture or pattern or even set it as a brush. Avoid patterns. some of the samples posted have a patten to the dots. Real zipatone will not have this. Look at manga you will see in general they will stick to the same pitch of dot and vary the size to make it darker. Not always but in general. I remember doing dojinshi way back we couldn't use some of the more fine dot stuff or the fancier patterns since the printer would turn it into mud or blow it out completely, but that is irrelevant here since it is digital. There used to be sites set up with tuts on how to do this or resources to load up in PS. I did find a tut on how to produce gradients and stuff maybe this will help build your library?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11074486
Thank you very much! I'll very much appreciate any other digital resources you or anyone may have to emulate manga shading style cause I'm oblivious to it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11074514
Been a while since I researched this stuff so many of the resources I had are long gone.
Really Im just googling zipatone digital tut. Chartpac or letraset might give results too. Deleter had some stuff up but not seeing anything anymore.

Just keep in mind what was done originally. The tone was a large sticker cut to fit the need and stuck on the artwork then trimmed to fit. If you keep to that idea and mimic the original tools you shouldn't have any issues.

Here is a free brush Not sure how well it works.
http://digitalhalftone.com/freebies/zipatone-photoshop-brushes/
hopefully jp wont think I am a spammer.

Also you final use of the image matters. Setting up for print will require a very different technique than if you just going to publish online.

Another tut with similar filters.
http://andworlddesign.com/?p=31

[Anonymous No.]

Doesn't Photoshop have a halftone filter built in?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11074680
That is the whole idea behind why I linked those pages. It does however have limits. One being you have to have a really large canvas. Attached (if it is not to big) is a half rez version of a test I did with the halftone filter. You must be in gray scale the tomes MUST be without any white, and they MUST be hard edged or you will get gradients. The eyes are an example. Only issue I have outside of the size issue is tonally what looks darker lightens up dramatically so you will have to learn what tones produce what dot pitch.

I think a hard edge tone brush might be easier to do with smaller canvas meant for the internet. The halftone seems to work ok if you plan to publish and need the rez.

This technique though is useless if you want patterns etc like the stuff deleter sells. Those will have to be a repeatable patter or highrez image that you trim and crop to suit.

Again when working with this stuff think about how the original materials were used and it should allow you to figure things out.

Dithering always amazes me. Is the bottom picture really just 2 colors?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11074876
Well not really it is essentially 256 grayscale. If you look at the original sized work you can see it is dithered. I actually had to upscale my linework, since it was not intended for this use. This dithering is the reason you would have to work in a fairly large scale if you wanted to use this for print. Those fine dots would get very ugly.

Attached is a 2X screen cap.

Note how sloppy my tone is, I did this on purpose to show the results and I think a bit of the sloppiness helps to make it look like older tone taped manga. Going even further to complicate you could do each tonal level in a separate layer and when running the halftone filter adjust the angle of the tone. In older manga you can tell when a artist was cheap because large fields of tone will have slightly different angles to them showing it was pieced together from smaller bits of tone.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11074876
Oh I forgot too you want to use color halftone, NOT the halftone filter found under filters,sketch,halftone pattern. This makes a right mess.

Use filter, pixelate, color halftone. Make sure your in a greyscale workspace. Locations might differ on PS versions.

ever since I was little, I've been building and writing a fictional world. My original characters are just ordinary people from it, for the most part. keeping the setting organized, as well as the interractions between individual characters is interesting. If only I'd do something with it. Ah, well, a little at a time, I suppose.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11072005
I just think up ideas and create characters to go with it. Say I want to do a comic about dog girls in a kennel.

First I need a main girl. Maybe happy and positive or morose and droopy. Then you need a kinda antagonistic but friendly character to go with her and drive the humor. Then you need supporting characters. Maybe a troublemaker type or a little puppy type(or an innocent newbie instead if it's about training police dogs).

After that, you assign them eyes and hair, which you can derive from their personalities. Clothing will go with the situation. If they're being held in a shelter, maybe they're wearing rags. If they're police dogs, then they're wearing uniforms or some type of gym clothes to train in. Then you need like their ears, base them on what kinda dogs you're inspired by for each one. This carries over into their statures too.


It's like that for anything for me, everything just falls into place once you think up stuff. I can't draw characters for the sake of drawing characters though. Probably it's better to think up at least a reason for the character's existence though.

e.g.: This is a little girl playing in a field of sunflowers. You can probably imagine what she'd be wearing and doing at that point. It's just a matter of hair style and expression.

Because I don't like Haruhi or Shinku or characters like them as main girls.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11082675
Your biggest problem is proportions, if you can at least get that right (its not hard, find a chart from anywhere), you'll have a decent drawing.

You should use references, if it looks off or unnatural, get a picture of someone doing a similar pose and see why yours is wrong. Think of the balance and center of gravity.

Think of forms when drawing, not lines, think of tubes and spheres in 3D to represent limbs, if you can understand the form behind your drawing, it becomes easier to get detailed towards anatomy.

Do sketches, don't jump straight into clean lines. Do a sketch of the environment you're going to do with perspective grids, seriously that shit helps a lot, you can just place things as you want once you setup the grid.

I just want to know one thing from you: why do you come back here and why are other sites not enough for you? DA kids should be the perfect company for you.

same goes for you. why don't you go back to /b/ or wherever you're from, angry kiddo?

we don't want your kind in here, shitting up good topics with your rage against someone who you personally don't like.

Because this is my home board and I've been here since the board's inception. There's many things that I end up only posting here, for the sake of contributing to these threads, which have been here for quite a long time.

What about you? What have you contributed?

Oh, thanks for the redline. I think you are reading the direction of the torso differently from what I intended, but what I tried with the breasts was so out there that I can understand the mixed reading...what you did looks tons better, though. I ended up lengthening the left arm and didn't pay much attention to the right(maybe out of laziness?). I think you are right, the right shoulder in general is too short and contributes to making her arm short. But thank you, I will study this and try to keep those things in mind...

i'm not magister, in case you can't tell two different posting styles apart.

but that's to be expected from someone like you who grasps at straws to attack him, like a monkey slinging its own shit at anything it doesn't like.

Your gestures aren't bad, but you might want to consider actually getting up and posing as the silhouette yourself. For example the rope pulling one is very uncomfortable looking, and that doesn't support the action.

I apparently made a 'Flat-chested rap' and posted it at <http://0845.com/vtcez>
(he posted the lyrics at <http://pastebin.com/mXg23X6W> ). It's pretty hilarious in a bad way, actually!

This thread is for people who try to become good artists and everyone here should have outgrown of such meme shit by now. I guess that's hard to understand for someone who still goes to middle- or high school.
