All my little plushies are of craft felt, however if one wishes to make a knock-off fumo or something, fleece is pretty common. Usually antipill but there are loads of different kinds.

The fumo general has a discord server which has a rather large custom fumo community and have been really helpful in answering questions too

What keeps you motivated to draw or make stuff?
I just want to get good enough to get my ideas onto paper without completely hating the end result.

[Anonymous No.]

>>34072670
For me, doing crafts helps me feel like I've accomplished something with my time that has a net positive since I created something when I could have been spending my time doing something not beneficial like playing a video game.

Time is going to pass regardless of what you do, might as well do something productive rather than ephemeral enjoyment from a game or something.

It also makes me feel like I'm participating in a community and producing something that I'd enjoy if I were to stumble across it in a thread for example. Dunno if that makes sense to you.

Art doesn't have to be a grand thing that conveys some major emotion or something, I think enjoyment is most vital. Pic related is an amazing piece I always think of, from the 'draw you with your waifu thread'. Fucking hysterical.

I also like cute 2hus

LOL poor cirno

[Anonymous No.]

>>34073204
I've been having this dilemma of figuring out if I still should be doing things like playing games or watching anime or something when I'm not drawing, since all the things I want to draw come from games, mostly 2hu. But I hardly play games anymore. And I feel happy not doing it. But I'm scared my love for these things will fade if I don't. It's kind of a dumb fear cause I could always be grinding at art and getting better and then when I return to those things I'd be able to make cooler stuff anyway. I should read more I guess but I got kinda burnt out on 2hu stuff for a bit so then I was lost. I feel jaded and unable to consume new things but always able to practice drawing.

[Anonymous No.]

>>34073316
I've noticed the same thing happening to me, the amount of games I've played has dropped a lot recently because at the end of the day I have nothing to show for the time invested, not even being good at it, whereas if I draw I'll have some work to post and share.
Although games/movies often do inspire me to make something, so it's healthy to keep at least a little of it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>34073316
I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with playing games, though like a lot of people I too find myself playing fewer and fewer things. Perhaps it has something to do with getting older/and having less time?

When one only has a few hours a night to play after work, a real choice does have to be made between practicing art or doing something else (games for example).

If you're feeling burnt out on something, not just 2hu but anything, there's nothing wrong with taking a break on something else imo. And liking other things doesn't mean you have to not like touhou as much. As for me, I'm a big kancolle fag as well as touhou, and I make stuff for both series like pic related. I like my boats sure, but they'll never take over 2hus in my heart.

Reading is great too. I spend so much time reading all sorts of shit. Mostly fanfics because I'm a retard but published shit too. It's good at inspiring one, I think. Also fun

[Anonymous No.]

Is there something like Vilppu but for colouring and/or colour theory? Something that approaches colouring in a rigorous and logical way, instead of leaving it to essentially what "feels right"?

[Anonymous No.]

>>34075731
Pic related is basically the entirety of color theory. It's all about managing warms and cools. And atmospheric perspective. Anything besides that is mostly just composition stuff or nuances of particular medium or technique.

[Anonymous No.]

>>34076403
But there has got to be a logical method to approach those things, shouldn't there? A quantifiable process for vibrancy, or for temperatures? And what about deeper techniques like gamut masking, for example? There is no way the only things out there are strictly empirical methods...

Depends on how you play really. I feel like any game I play progresses me and makes me better at them. I'm not doing it mindlessly for some dumb fun on the lowest difficulty.
You shouldn't say things like that.

There are so many people on this planet, I keep thinking no matter what you do if you are lucky enough and meet that one sweet spot in life, you will always see people that appreciate what you do as long as you like it to put enough effort into it.
That said no one should really care about exposition. An anonymous board is really not a place for the kind of people who want attention.
I for my part love seeing people struggle in games and improve, especially if I got some experience myself in it beyond theirs so I can teach them. But I don't think I'm on topic with that discussion so I will stop talking.

>>34052708
Face is OK, hair could use with less lines, remember that hair is form and texture, not spaghetti. Forms on the clothes are not defined and neither is anything really. Hands are miniscule and so are feet the feet. Practice more 3D shapes and learn how to logically think in 3D: the fabric around her arm would take the shape of her arm rather than ambiguously float around it.
>>34053999
Do not chicken scratch, make ONE confident line and don't oversaturate your drawing with lines to make it look busy and camouflage mistakes. You could do with learning how not to symbol draw and figuring out 3D shapes as well.
>>34054030
Everything looks extremely flat, the hands are minute and form is not defined anywhere. This is a case of advanced symbol drawing and would need you to really rewire your brain to start thinking in 3D.
>>34064569
There is a semblance of form here, the perspective of many things (the cat ears, the feet, the face, the general pelvic area) don't make sense, the face is smashed flat against the head, anatomy is mediocre and the drapery is just flatly painted on.
>>34096268
Everything is extremely flat, don't chicken scratch and don't symbol draw. Anatomy is bad and perspective attempts (the key with the ropes on her chest) are laughably bad.

My advice for most of you is to stop trying to draw anime and instead learn how to draw by the book: namely Fun With A Pencil by Andrew Loomis, and Figure Drawing For All Its Worth by the same guy.

I also want you all to remember that I don't mean any ill will to any of the quoted posters, but nobody has gotten anywhere by creating mediocre artwork and fishing for "good in spite of..." kind of compliments. Improvement is what everyone should be striving for and our primary objective. Popularity and riches will come by themselves.

Not necessarily realism but rather basic fundamentals

Anime is a style with very solid fundamentals and certain exaggerated features (details in the face primarily). Wanting to draw anime without any previous drawing knowledge is like trying to build a house and starting by assembling the roof.

[Anonymous No.]

>>34107083
basic fundamentals means realism
you will have to be able to draw a normal eye, with tear ducts eyelashes and everything to draw a manga-style eye.
I mean, just look at this illustration: >>34107027
Compare it to the normal eye
It has the canthus on both sides. Exarragated eyelashes. It even has the upper and lower eyelids. Yet it is recognisable as “anime style”.
Spacejin is a really good artist, and I can tell you for sure he would be able to draw a perfectly normal face without problems. He has the choice of simplifying his drawings or not, what feature to put in or not. He can draw whatever he want. That's because he obviously started with realism.

[Anonymous No.]

>>34107197
the anons apt at drawing always seem to have a great time in draw piles, making mascots and fleshing out scenarios no one else would think of making outside of one small community

[Anonymous No.]

>>34107424
Basic fundamentals are things like three dimensional thinking, perspective, shape, form, texture and colour theory. What you may be confusing as "realism" might be simply "drawing what you see" (very good practice and technique). Realism is NOT something you want to instill in a beginner's mindset as an idea of "mastery" because at its core it's nothing but copying, which machines do much better than humans.

[Anonymous No.]

>>34107653
So you want to have a good time in drawthreads?

This is just my two cents, but it seems that that's a little vague to provide the conviction needed to improve. Who do you want to draw, and how do you want them to look? I think if you're able to sort out your feelings about art you'll be able to draw more and improve faster. Even once you've done that it's a long, pretty much endless path but at least you can start walking down it a little faster

Very good advice, man. It’s funny, I did use Loomis’ figure drawing before but it was years back when I couldn’t figure out how to read it
Coming back to it it’s much simpler and many of the topics I can grasp as second nature. I think I struggled before because I was reliant on wrist drawing instead of using my arm.

Just made this yesterday after thinking about it for a long time. This cute Rumia dance animation works exceptionally with Neal and Jack and Me by King Crimson. I tried to get the dance to be transparent, so Rumia would be dancing directly on top of live footage of the band, but I couldn't find a clean transparent version so I had to settle for a slightly less opaque version of the dance with the band playing underneath.

Good question. Been drawing all my life really, though with long periods of slacking and not asserting myself. I try not to dwell on it since my progress - in drawing especially - was slow and inadequate.

Also, great faces. Since there are a lot of same angles here, I assume this was the results of some practice? Over the month, but with a focus on it. Arcueid making me feel some kinda way...

cute! the spider lilies in the back should be more blurry and/or less saturated though. they stand out a bit too much for a background. also her left arm (your right) looks a touch too long. the human forearm is shorter than the upper arm, but the way you've drawn it suggests the opposite.

but really nice work otherwise! great work on applying thickness variations to your lining.

It does look better! Hopefully pic related helps with why the old one looks a bit off. It's tricky with perspective involved, but you can use the forearm as a rough measurement like I did here, since we know for a fact that the upper arm must *at least* be as long as the forearm if not longer.

You can see that the arm and hand would have fallen below the knees. That's a primate, not a chicken! Something to keep in mind for next time.

Agree with >>34142351, though, you might've overdid the folds a bit. One would've been enough I think, skin doesn't fold like clothes after all. But you're already doing a solid job otherwise! And the lillies now look better with the rest of the composition too now that they're less bold.

Your colors are quite dull and muddy. Be aware of portion of saturation you lose when your brush strokes blend with white background and black sketch. Don't render with black and white, hue variation is important.
Also, brushwork on Unzan is pretty bad, it's a mess of overlapping translucent sausages.

Given the angle of the head, the eyebrows look like they are in the wrong place.

The relative position of the ears makes it look like her head is tilting to the left much more than the tilt suggested by the facial features suggest. Also >hands
>>34214654
>>34214674
Compare the head/neck/shoulders proportions you used between the two pictures. In the second everyone's shoulders are much closer to chin level, which makes them feel stocky or like they're shrugging. Also I think you might have some issues with drawing side profile face: think about turning sanae's head away from you and how close her eyes will be to the ridge of her nose, how large the nose will be, etc and compare that to what you've drawn on kanako.
>>34214680
The ear size/position on the two in front seems mismatched. I spent about 5 minutes confused because I thought okina was sitting on the ground against a wall instead of in some kind of chair position with her legs dangling down (in the first case, the pose has a lot of problems). I think the single horizontal edge you drew in the background was part of that confusion.

How do you stop falling into art depression where I feel like everything I do is wrong and all of this has been a waste? I like to look at my previous works but it tends to help only for a short period of time. I haven't drawn any Touhous yet as I'm still doing faceless figure drawings and generic faces.
Gesture drawing is pretty fun though. I think I'm addicted to drawing noodle men.

That's possibly a good solution. I force myself to draw sometimes as I am quite stubborn when it comes to sticking to schedules.

Alright, thanks for the feedback, that answers some inner doubts I had for them
the sausage brushwork is due to the soft round brush, it's basically a guilty pleasure because of how easy and nice it feels to use it, the Unzan pic was made in under 2 hours just messing around with it freestyle, although I agree I should not use it everywhere

I surely hope you did not mean that you like them because they do insane amount of comms that they charge a lot for? If not, then why even mention the comm? Is that a merit in the illustrator touhou scene? (asking because I have never done comm before)

I agree with you dude, his art's not amazing. He even acknowledges it. Only reason I mentioned comms is because people clearly see value in his work, and he's really efficient at doing it from what I've seen. Maybe the comms and attention ruined him, maybe he'd be able to improve if he shut people out and took time to study on his own. He streams his art btw. I just like him cause he loves Yuugi and seems like a chill dude. I respect anyone who puts years of effort into painting Yuugi's tits.

same, this is pretty much why I said he was "based", as in, not giving a fuck and just does what he loves, that is a merit in my book.
What bothers me the most is that his drawings just have these lewd elements that's so out of place, like, why is it like that? (also mediocre brushwork - which was my main point from the beginning)
For example, I remember scrolling on tw*tter and saw the upper half of the Ichirin holding her combat ring pic, I was like "cool" and clicked on it to view the full image, only to be greeted with the robe (kesa) somehow got these side cuts and reveal the thighs with leggings. What the fuck?
