The last thread isn't dead yet

>>4235137
last thread is a few posts from hitting bump limit....

changed it up

>>4235389
NOICE, Horses face might need another pass, and horses are way bigger than that btw

How'd I fuck up?

>>4235389
Rabbit horse?

>>4235505
Why the fuck is everything tilted to the left and cropped to shit. Background is garbage and clashes with the artstyle. She doesn't have a left boob her bow isn't attached to anything her neck is to thin, wrists to fat, skirts don't tuck like that so on and so on. Not to mention the subject matter of course.

Yeah good points but can you specify cropping what does that consist of?

>>4235505
you rendered her really well. For real, nice job.
The problem is the way the both stand on the ground.
Since we see San's feet, we roughly know where the ground-plane is. In comparison, the girls legs must either be dwarfishly short or she stands in a deep puddle or something

>>4235131
>that draaaaven
I know my kino when I see it, this guy is making it one day or another

>>4235721
Very pleasant to look at

>>4235721
AAAAAAH

>>4235131
Does the guy behind the OP pic have a blog?

>>4235505
Rendering is good, maybe move Sans further back to give some perspective.

>>4235566
Nigga u blind? Sans' foot, the invite, that white shit at the bottom cut by the frame?!

I drew up some characters for a comic I'm working on. What I wanted to do was capture the emotion and feeling that they would give off if you were to meet them, I also wanted to carry that into the dialogue.

What do you guys think?

>>4236051
Im not trying to hurts your feelings here but its difficult to express how much i hate this

Oh it's fine, could you tell me what's the problem? Or why you hate it?

>>4236085
All of the characters are pudgy unlikeable mega nerds that looks like you based them off of the unpopular weaboos who bring their Nintendo DSs to school. It also reeks of westernized anime one-dimensional garbage. Let me guess, one of them likes PIE and WAFFLES and is just so random and crazy. Its just all extremely immature.

>>4236074
Oh it's fine, could you tell me what's the problem? Or why you hate it?

>>4236093
That's actually kind of what I was going for,(mega nerds and DSs) but I take the criticism of them being too puffy as a valid one. Is there any way I can make them not one-dimensional?

>>4236051
this poster is 16 years old maximum

>>4236105
I suggest reading books, not manga, if you want to get better at writing multidimensional characters. It will also get easier with age since i assume youre younger. You have a general idea of some of the elements of form and perspective, you should focus on improving this and giving form to every element in your work, a lot of it reads as very flat. The hair looks more like you were focusing on getting the lines to flow nicely instead of constructing it with large shapes properly. Obviously learn proper proportions and study anatomy a lot since you cant really draw hands or heads but that takes a while. Read loomis and hampton, you dont need to absorb everything just learn the basic ideas about setting up perspective and shorthand proportions

>>4236120
I'm currently reading Bridgman for hands and body anatomy, I've heard alot about Loomis and I've been wanting to see what it's about.
Now that you mention it, I'm looking over it more, things do tend to look flat, especially the hair and head shape which really isn't good in construction.

I had fun drawing the girl on the left ^_^

>>4236265
Very nice, even as sketches how you rendered them makes them almost look finished just without color

>>4236290
That’s very kind of you, anon :D thank you

>>4236051

>>4236319
You should join him namefag

>>4236319
>Implying you're good enough to be posting out of /beg/

Collab

>>4236094
Not him, but I feel the same.

the general shape of every character's head looks too similar and unappealing. Very generic dialogue for their generic school roles. It makes me want to punch them.

idk

>>4236319
>Nosebro
do NOT use his name in vain you impostor

>>4236455
Nosebro is a ngmi attention whore retard who cant draw for shit haha, only newfags like you try to suck up to him because you mistake raw arrogance for social status. Anyone have that image complitation of the guy who challenged him to an art competition and nose spent hours trying to weasle out of it and then eventually tried to become friends with him because he was too scared to post his work LOL

>>4236501
lol i thought it was a dude with a beard

>>4236504
forgot to menttion study some nips/tits, they look almost like tranny tits

>>4236507
at least is "almost like tranny tits" and not "exactly like tranny tits" so im good.

>>4236473
How was i scared when I requested a live recorded gesture battle? I'm still willing to have a live recorded gesture battle with him.

Wanted to add that I didn't take up the challenge because I was too busy gargling semen and taking two penises, a fist and a leg up my ass for a male anatomy study. Have you been grinding figures you ngmi?

>>4236552
Why is it always a gesture battle, are you still not capable of finishing anything?

>>4236557
Just filter out this piece of cancerous cyst from this board already and do not reply to it.

>>4236473

>>4236589
Ha

>>4236589
ahahahahhahahahhahahahahahhahahhaha

>>4236589
I have to admit, that is a pretty based lobster

>>4236589
Based.
Also Nosebro pulls literally the same thing every time someone calls him for his shit and is willing to back themselves up with work. He can't handle the thought of someone with actual skill calling him shit, so always tries to buddy up with them so they'll stop trampling on his ego.

>>4236589
damn i feel like i just saw one of those 'china' webms on /gif/

Howdy

>>4236658
Please go im just starting to feel good about my art again </3

>>4236589
Yep that's our resident retard.

Why must /alt/ threads always be like This

>>4236658
Beautiful, I love how confident and loose your lines are

>>4236642
Come to think of it, I've never seen his art even once. Did I miss it or does he just never post it here?

>>4236589
LOL WHAT A MASSIVE FAG

isnt he really old? yikes

>>4236589
and people defend this retard?

>>4236589
ahahahaha the fucking essay about how he's autistic
>>4236672
wish I could compliment you more often but to avoid being an annoying orbiter i am here on an anonymous kampuchean nosebro bullying forum to say I like your colors

>>4235389
please study actual horses and horse riding, this looks all kinds of fucked. too small, almost rabbit looking, weird legs and proportions are way off

if it's supposed to be a "fantasy creature" so you could avoid anatomy mistakes, then atleast push the design further, make it look unique, mix and match parts of different animals or try to come up with something completely original, right now it just looks like a retarded horse

>>4236793
fair point, i'll fuck with the proportions more

One more

>>4236789
why do the nipples look like screws

>>4236832
first one has more energy. this one feels half-assed, no pun intended

horse lorger

>>4236501
I understand you're doing a difficult angle, but those are some manly looking bitches.

>>4236969
gains goblin this looks deviantart and i’ll indulge you as to why
>similar line weight on everything, from individual leaves to water splashes to the main focus of the horseman
>hmm water is blue so i’ll shade it light blue and dark blue hmm rock is grey so ill shade it light grey and dark grey hmm plants are green so i
I’ll lend you the benefit of doubt since this isn’t finished but this is not looking good, feels like my eyes are being raped like one of your goblin characters. Color and values are more complex than 50% opacity black layer. Look at reference or Gurney or anything. Good job on drawing something other than atrocious fetish porn but fuck you shoo shoo

>>4236501
what's wrong with her nooose

>>4236969
I implore you to look at some real horses, as this is not what a horse looks like

>>4236789
is she really big or is that rifle just really small? Size of the gun feels off

>>4236589
i always new that faggot was a fucking coward

>>4236865

>>4237238
She’s huge, I want sure what other props to give her to show that off

>>4236589
S Tier autism on all fronts

Working on this - I think I need to refine the contrast a little more.

>>4237281

Isn't she supposed to be an adult? She has very childish proportions here.

Top comfy, bottom girl is my daughter now.

>>4236501
Stylizing only one of them makes it confusing.

Neck needs more definition, the thick black lines work against the smooth shading. I'd give her more chin and a bigger hand, but don't quote me on that one.

>>4236094

Has this exact same series of posts occurred before with only slight variations of theme? Is 4chan a... Guys, is 4chan a Twilight Zone episode? Shit guys, tell me I'm not the only one who saw this same shit like, 2 years ago.

>>4237348
The left thumbnail it's the only one that looks good, sorry, even the rendering is better

>>4237705
BZZZZT wrong. He's a fucking liar pussy as usual, trying to wriggle and squirm out of it when he gets called out for being a massive piece of trash. Nose made posts talking about how he "was only in it for the attention and doesnt even care about drawing" when he first joined how he was going to be an "/ic/ personality". he goes to beginner threads and tells /beg/s to kill themselves and give up, hes pure trash. I've never heard of the deviant art guy he's lying about

Ask me how i know (pic related)

>>4237715
>>4237725
LMAO dude, not him, but just own that shit you got btfo twice in this thread why are you even defendig that shit, even if him is utter garbage at drawing you got exposed as subhuman trash not amount of cope will change that if anything you are making yourself look worse.

>>4237715
Didn't he do a gesture battle with another anon long time ago. I definitely recall nosebro doing a gesture battle on discord, and he was quite good and clearly beat the other anon. Was thinking this was you from way back then, but seems like its not.

Personally despite what he said was quite embarrassing, I don't think that makes nosebro "bad". He's kinda like Sycra where they both have the basics, yet continue to draw pretty meh subject matter.

Think he could draw qt girls if he actually tried to, but he prefers to draw weird noses and faces. I guess it's up to him though. Pic related.

>>4237740
it was with puts, puts(f) had the official win and it was recorded by chicoalte(f) who put it on youtube, it got 1.2k views but chico is autistic and removed it. I was trying to get another similarly funny recording

>>4237728
He's a redditor? Do you have some proof?

Work in progress, critique always appreciated.

>>4237838
Fuck, I don’t know why that happens.

can you both just make a throwaway thread and shit talk each other in that? please stop shitting up this one

alright, but you could make a seperate thread to discuss this junk and take them with you? even if other people brought it up you ARE the main topic, they'll follow you if you take it somewhere else.

This is pretty uninspired but I just wanted to something to do on break during work experience hehe ;; I like the bottom right girl though

it's called dutch angle.

I’m shamefully admitting that I ship L and Misa from Death Note...

I thought Death Note fanart died with the 2010 decade. Still nice though.

>>4235131
>that chad posture at the dance move

What can I do differently?

Trying to develop this style a bit and to be honest, it feels a little "cheap" to me, but it was still fun.

>>4235131
I'm trying to reverse engineer the cel-shading techniques I see other artists using.
>>4238084
Very nice.
>>4238900
Doesn't look cheap to me. What exactly are you going for?

>>4238913

Trying to avoid being less technical and a little more expressive, that way things are easier to draw so I can actually keep drawing.

Aesthetically, I'm trying to capture cool but cute, I guess? To be honest, I haven't really thought about it much at all...

>>4238924

Support mage sheet created. Working on next mage now.

>>4238084

Nice work as always, Melon.

>>4237946

I really like her expressions. Hopefully I can get to your level of drawing mouths.

>>4237946
Cute, but the hairline is too close to the eyebrows in the second one, they aren't that raised.

>>4238900
Super cute design if you ask me, saved. Shading the skin with black/such a desaturated color makes it look dead though - especially since the red background makes your brain assume that there would be red in the shadows. You don't have to go super saturated with the shading like some artists do, but a bit more color would be nice. (I guess an alternative would be to change the background, but honestly the skin could use more warmth regardless.)
Hands are a bit questionable too, since the rest of her body has clearer structure the noodle fingers look out of place.

>>4238900
Nice anon, what a qt
for improvements, think about experimenting with lineart colours, they may not seem important but alot of warmth can be conveyed through coloured lineart - I also woudn't reccommend doing your shading blobs in full an black or white - it confuses the veiwer. Instead, try using a warmer shade of the base colour of the area. Your shading is also done in a grey - maybe change this to a yellow or red.

regardless, this is very cute anon - keep up the good work

>>4239351
I love the way you stylised his face

Jesus Christ I was revisiting critiques on old posts of mine in previous threads and I sounded like such a twat. I’m sorry. I’m really ashamed of it now

>>4239351

>>4239383
thanks m8. if you ever said something insulting to me i don't remember it, and based on your sketch i wouldn't be mad. lol i would just take your advice. i honestly have nothing helpful to add that would improve your sketch. they look fantastic. i think you know what you're talking about. wish i could draw bodies or crosshatch half as good.

>>4239442
if anyone else was thinking it, i already decided thats way too many highlights and removed a bunch.

>>4237917
https://twitter.com/pokinha

I dont usually draw objects others than accessories so they mostly suck. I'm also trying a new technique so it looks kinda messy but I'm enjoying it

>>4239383
It's all banter, don't take insults seriously.

>>4239460
this is comfy

>>4237281
Oh my god, shes so cute and perfect

>>4239498
her abs look painted on, go look at wome bodybuilder photos and try to paint how the shading in their abs work. Also, messy works well with more gestural and outrageous poses. Loosen up some more

>>4238554
I’m glad it died, if it still existed today they’d draw Light and L yaoi with that nitty tumblr art style. Thank you tho

>>4237347
Update, refined some soft edges around the face, added some flesh tones, bumped up the highlights a little, etc. I got something I'm a bit more happy with.

Rikishi fron ashita no joe

Quick little thing I did earlier though I didnt try really to match the style of the show but just my own style

>>4239442
what do you guys think about the colors? i tried a million different colors for skin hair eyes, even the outline, everything. this is what i settled on but i'm really not good with this i always struggle. i would really like to see someone else tweak the color pallet. i am just making this up as i go along so im sure someone who knows something about color theory could improve on it. or maybe give advice. thx

>>4240416
It’s shit and too muddy.

>>4240416
Getting values down would help you, since value is half of what you need to know to work in color.

>>4238084
Every time you post in these threads no one ever seems to be willing to give you any constructive critiques, and instead shower you in praise. Which is perfectly fine, but not exactly helpful.

I like your designs, although the rendering in your work is more on the sloppy side. The lighting is inconsistent and your values are very flat. The line weight is also inconsistent. Some parts are very thin, while some are rough and dark. More refined and consistent lines would make details in the design more appealing.

The anatomy needs a bit of refinement. Her left arm looks more like a stub arm instead of foreshortened. At that angle, more of her would be visible and thus longer. If her arm were faced towards the viewer, then less of her arm would be visible.

Her folded right leg looks a bit awkward. The thigh is a bit too wide. The pressure of the calf pressed against the hamstrings would make that line a lot less curved. Same goes for her shin on that leg. The line is too curved. At that angle with the leg being folded, more of her shin is visible, the curve of the calf muscles are less insinuated.

>>4240985
You should change the colour of the lineart at least, happy you’re doing something other than fetish art though. Good luck gains goblin

>>4240985
Do you have a name other than gains goblin?

>>4240997
i go by kiahl for most of my online handles
>>4240988
i was thinking of messing with the line color

Messing about with a binary pen tho I don't think I used it to its advantage

wip, no line weight or shading yet

>>4241025
Arms and hands seem a bit too small. To pull the style and design together, I'd recommend making the hands a bit bigger to keep a sense of proportion.

Good stylization calls for pushing your design in order to get a good balance.

>>4240985
For the love of god man, why do you insist on not fixing the horses face? They don't have rabbit eyes, and they dont have a dog nose.

>>4240985
the perspective seems off. where do the horse legs go? feels like they clip through the ground
also it looks like there is no road for the horse to ride on, just rocks and water which doesnt imply this is a casual stroll through the woods (which look more like jungle)

on one hand I feel like my arts mad fucked up on the other hand I literally don't know whats fucked about it

>>4239444
Ah I’m so sorry I phrased this in a confusing way- I meant in general, I’d be bad at responding to advice and didn’t appreciate the effort anons went through to give me in depth critiques :’) that’s what I meant by “I sounded like a twat,” though reading back it definitely sounded like I was apologising to you specifically. My mistake! I really appreciate the praise though, good luck with your piece :)
>>4241280
Oh damn, thanks for pointing this out anon I genuinely didn’t notice :0 I’ll go back into it and change it.

>>4237869

>>4241025
Ahh it's so satisfying to draw with this pen. I did try to make the girl's arms bigger and I think it looks better so thank you kind anon ^^ >>4241280

>>4241708
I really like this style

>>4241790

Just dug out a WIP that had been sitting around since 2015, and decided to finish it.

Starting to get Blade Runner vibes.

>>4236672
no

>>4236832
Saved all 3. You've got a real spontaneous style with strong gesture that reminds me of Ramon Nunez. It's good.

>>4241859
I believe in u anon

>>4241849
And now it's done. On to something else now.

>>4241859
fix the size and shape of the face. You're gonna make it

>>4241859
I'm not one of the anons who usually has something against your faces, but this one is really off. It looks way too small compared to everything else.
Hands aren't the worst thing ever, but they're always a weak spot in your pieces, so go do a few hand studies sometime.
The feet look surprisingly nice though, a lot of artists who struggle with hands also don't know how to draw feet, so good job on that!

>>4241921
thank
>>4241946
>>4241982
yes thanks i am redrawing the head completely it was not good

>>4241859
thighs too long compared to lower leg, even them out

>>4242067
False. Anatomically, the thigh is actually slightly longer than the lower leg. They are not of equal length.

>>4242309
Good job on the feet! Not being a foot fag just think it’s good you didn’t brush them aside

>>4236265
Left is very attractive, I love all the clothing folds too.

>>4242309

have a for your effort

>>4242379
what does this mean :( please tell me what is wrong still

>>4242379
nice I've been trying to practice drawing body muscle type like this guy.

>>4242363
I’m happy you like her! The folds I enjoyed doing too ^^

>>4242379
s-sauce?

>>4242309
Much better than the first attempt!
What is going on with her hair though, is it still up in pigtails? If so, the way the pigtail closer to the viewer hangs over her far shoulder looks strange, like you didn't really take distances into account as her shoulder would be further back. It's possible for long hair to get caught on the shoulder of course (like if it was in front before), but it would still drape differently in that case. Try to think about where the hair was originally (front, back) and how it was affected by her moving or turning her head.

>>4235131
Maybe some of you stylization experts can answer this question.
Why are the inner eye corners often omitted or understated?

>>4243095
More visible lines on the face make it look older
Less old = cuter
Thats why only hentai artists and mangaka with detailed styles draw them
Theyre going for a less cute and silly look

>>4243095
Man, I want that lego figure

>>4243116
Nice, you do a good job on implementing criticism you're given. Keep it up.

>>4243116
The cranium its a lil bit too wide, good work keep it up

>>4240985
Fix the horse

>>4243095
It’s a stylistic choice that makes the eyes seem bigger and more open without actually having to draw the eyes bigger than they already are. The lash line closest to the inner corner of the eye looks less dense in actuality because those lashes are shorter while the outer lash line looks more obvious. So the omission of detailing of the eye’s inner corner is an exaggeration of what you already see in reality. Even in more realistic art styles or artwork where the inner eye corners are more detailed you rarely see any lash detailing there even though lashes are present across the entirety of the eyelid’s edge.

Look in a mirror and you’ll see that the innermost corner lashes are smaller, and given that they are oriented directly toward to your vision they are almost invisible. Meanwhile the outer lash line looks more obvious because the lashes are longer and because the lash line wraps around a 3D structure (the eyeball) the full length of the lashes is more obvious.

>>4237330
Arms makes the pose look stiff.
You can avoid this by tilting one of the arms a little more out.
I would personally tilt her left arm
Otherwise it looks really nice so far.

Also if you want to make her even hotter you need to fix her arm pit, just use some reference.

>>4236446
Bells and whistles will make you a better artist

Just keep repeating that to yourself, anon

>>4242192
False.
>>4242088
based ignoramus

>>4235505


basically what this anon said >>4235580

sans is way too close for them to be standing on the same ground plane
don't be afraid to draw the full character head to toe to figure that out, even if you can't draw feet you can always crop the frame afterwards
as you've drawn it they're either standing on very uneven ground or they're leaning at a bizarre angle, either thing is fine but try to actually explain which one it is they're doing visually, as it stands it seems like the tilt is an after thought rather than intentional.

I'm tired of making fanart, I make shitty numbers anyway. So, I think I'll just draw mainly what I want and fanart of niche stuff I really love now even if it's suicide when you're unknown. I like drawing sexy girls, cyborgs and mechanoids. Might be kinda generic coming from my coomer brain but here's my first attempt, and I'm sure I'll improve as we go on. How does it look?

>>4243116

Why do amateur artists always put sooo much focus on tits and ass? It's a very obvious crutch, especially when the drafting skills are so lacking.
Learn proper anatomy and form. Do nude studies an draw from life. Learn to construct using shapes, also become familiar with musculature and skeletal form.

I don't know if i should post here or in the sketchbook thread.

>>4235505
Very nice anime art style and comfy atmoshpere.
There's a lot of easy improvements though: look at some reference for drawing ears, they're not hard to draw at all. Her arms look very thick, I would say they should be 30% skinnier, since shes otherwise very petite.

Your rendering seems slightly artificial, i think you should study up on it, it would make a great addition to your cute art style. Skim through some books about color and shading + copy some pixiv japs and you should be set.

You have lots of potentioal and imo don't worry about minor shit poeple are pointing out, like perspective unless you are REALLY trying to study it. Composition is more important!

Also please drop any socials!

>>4244075
That's actually the first time I draw a picture with ass focus. Masamune Shirow also draws lewd art and focuses on tits and ass and nobody criticizes him for that. Though I will take your advice I don't think it's a proper take to consider adding lewd elements something amateurs do.

>>4244108
>Masamune Shirow
Shirow has a very exaggerated aesthetic, but it's underpinned by a solid understanding of anatomy and form. He's also an experienced character designer. His lewd stuff is his personal taste.

If you just go for lewd instead of focusing on bettering you're drafting skills and expand your knowledge of anatomy and form, your faults and crutches become immediately noticeable.

>>4244108
The problem is when the tits and ass have noticeably more detail the the rest of the image and it is something amateur artists are known for doing. If your art has laboriously drawn creases and cloth folds and complex shading around the breasts and ass while the rest of the image has flat shading and no other cloth folds it looks much more amateur compared to someone that has detailed the hair, the face, the ankles etc with the same level of effort.

eh

>>4244378
Embarrassing

>>4244078
Was hoping to find some nice inking inspiration, thank you anon, and good taste

>>4244468
Thank you! Please do post whatever you do, i'm curious now ^^

i am tired of this and time to move on
thanks everyone for help
my own criticisms
-too many mistakes in the sketching part, spending too little time on the sketch
-very superficial anatomy, too much guessing and looking for references
-linework that frustrates me that I cant do it properly, flattens the forms. it is the most frustrating thing that I lack the skill in rn
-this type of shading+rendering that I wanted to do is way beyond my skills but I just don't want anything else i guess
ok time to study again

>>4244101
pass me that brush bro

Some critique and comments please.

>>4244820
Its perfect

>>4244743
Don't worry too much yet.
Honestly you're straight up weak right now you can't make a masterpiece even if you polish it for two weeks straight and that would be the biggest mistake you could make.
Don't get burned out polishing mediocre works, instead spend that time on making more different works and studying.

And no polishing anything for that long is never worth it. If you can;'t make it quick you can't make it period so call it quits and start another one. You learn useful shit when you're sketching and blocking in while polishing is just burning your time away

>>4244824

Really?

Working on this piece now, it has sat dormant as a WIP for a few years (lost track of how long), something about it I liked, so I decided to finish it.

>>4245031
I love your hatching man

Please help me with how to develop a background... I always lose confidence and give up the background. Can anyone suggest any tutorials, or relevant references? Also, anything I can fix with the figures whilst I’m at it? ()

>>4245154
This is cute! I love the concept and their expressions ^^ I wish I had advice for the background but unfortunately I'm pretty useless with them too aha ;;

I finally finished this page

>>4244795
Here you go, standard krita brush

I was redirected here from /beg/ for crit. The left is a quick sketch and the right is it cleaned/reworked. What do I need to work on?

>>4245556
you made legs too short, orenji.
either shorten her torso a bit or lengthen those legs.

wip.

God it's so hard to color. Have to study more.

>>4245154
Did you study composition before Anon?

mother heifer

how to finish something

>>4245882
Study - yes, half arsed tho. put into practise - no
I started with 1 figure, added another, then started to add background.. not planned at all, which is one of my downfalls

>>4245601
Thanks, now that you mention it, the torso does seem too long

>>4245645

>>4246081
You wanna resize those maybe?

>>4246137
sure

>>4246081>>4246191

What the fuck. These aren't mine. This is mine. >>4245645
Someone is editing my work. Which is flattering, but also feels like shit. Guess I wont post anymore, thanks asshole

>>4246193
You posted to an anonymous message board specifically for art critique and got a paintover. You should maybe learn from what the person tried to show you by editing it. Although you might have a different vision in mind, it's good to be open minded about these things

>>4246221
Then say it's a paintover/edit. Dont repost with no context. Also, I'm open minded, but the edit looks like shit.

>>4246226
are you Jewish?

>>4246226
Maybe I'm the asshole for misunderstanding. Some of the shading on the face is nice, smooth. Wouldn't have thought of horizontal shading. Thanks for that.

we have reached the point where people blatantly post on this board solely for asspats and not actual crits and get mad at paintovers. /ic/ has peaked. everyone go home

>>4246193
>NOOOOOO someone edited my work!
>How could you??
>Don't you know that's wrong?!
You might be on the wrong site, if you're this easily offended.

>>4246193
someone spends their precious free-time to show you how to improve your work and you just shit on him. I think you really should stop posting.

>>4245858
beautifully rendered!

>>4246016
Blog?

>>4245858

1) pick unsaturated color for base
2) rotate the color wheel a couple pixels
3) increase saturation for shadow, decrease for highlight. Or other way around if you want

>>4246193
>>4246226
go back

>>4244378
cute

I return

>>4245184
Drawing elves stealing a child, the idea of this always scared me

The eyes remind me of a certain person by the name Yandere.

>>4246016
Just like you did before. I love your art and especially your finished art. Your rendering makes me want to get better and show you.

>>4246439

>>4246439
Love this. Such unique lines.

>>4246813
Nice use of perspective. A welcomed change from the ussual stiff poses. But the hand is a bit weird, is he trying to pinch the viewer? Not very scary. If you where going for a grab, the hand should be more open.

>>4245184
>>4246978
>>4247209
I like these quite a bit

>>4246077
Relax Anon you just need to give the narrative of your picture a bit more thought.
Where is this happening?
What are they doing?

After that you can find ways to enhance the desired mood using the background.

Personally I got the impression that this takes place in some dark forest where the water girl got lost and fire fire boy found her. So I in order to reinforce the forest image I just added dark branches and into the corner and made them reflect the light of both while creating guiding lines to the characters. I felt that there was a lack blue overall so I increased it a bit on the girl's side, I understand this was supposed to show the dominance of the and strength of the boy but it still felt lacking. I added more subtle bules even behind the boy to offer more contrast and unify the image better. Finally I know most people hate particle effect but I added some sprays and blobs to create more guiding lines towards the characters and give them more of a magical feeling.

Did this help you?

>>4246423
I want to be able to construct like you!

>>4247249
it's a nice bum

>>4246016
First of all, those faces are ultra adorable and the color schemes look great.
Second, what goes through your mind when you decide to stop.

>>4246878
Thank you so much! :)
>>4246892
Thank you for the feedback, I’m going to try steer towards this kind of art direction more and slowly include more uses of dynamic angles. The hand I have no excuse for though and really should’ve tried harder to make it look believable >>4247249
Ty ^^

>>4235131
Work in progress. Needed to take a break. Thoughts?
>Yes obviously I didn't draw her arm yet.

>>4248018
beg

>>4248030
and?

>>4238900
I agree with >>4239362

Don't just shade by adding more black, you're gonna want to make the shadows a DIFFERENT HUE than the midtones. For example, in warmer sunlight, it's gonna be a cooler color like blue. In that case, the red will steer a bit towards purple and yellow towards grey. Also keep in mind that pure #0000ff blue in particular naturally looks darker than any other color of the same luminance and that varies across all of them.

Also the little hatching parts look extremely jarring and inconsistent, it doesn't look like you're quite hitting the values you want so it just looks like splotches of black and white paint or something. Study Leyendecker to see how it's really done.

>>4247144
FireZ, why do most of your girls look basically the same? Even on your chubbier girls, it seems like you use the same structure for the face and it feels off.

I love your work, but I wish you would change this one thing.

>>4248018
Extremely wonky proportions. But keep going, I'm loving the retro anime style.

>>4248061
>study some other artist to see how you should REALLY do hatching, a thing that's an absolute subjective expression of art that can be used in more than one way
That's like, your opinion, man.

>>4238900
-If your only light source in a dark room was a red light, your shadows will naturally be an absence of red light, so all your shadows will approximate to a shade of less red
-To further illustrate this, if you were to illuminate an object with a red and blue light in a dark room (in which both lights are a distance apart), you should be able to see two different colored shadows: a red shadow, and a blue shadow. The red shadow belongs to the blue light (where it's an absence of blue light, but the shadow looks red because it is still being illuminated by the red light), and the blue shadow belongs to the red light (where it's an absence of red light, but the shadow looks blue because it is still being illuminated by the blue light). The area around the object will look purple/magenta, while the overlapping shadows of the red and blue light sources will create a less-magenta shadow.

-The reason why shadows look blue under natural conditions (such as outdoors) is due to many light sources that interacts with the color of the object, not just the sun. An object such as a basketball or an umbrella can block the light from the sun, but will not be able to fully block the light from the sky, hence why shadows outdoors where the weather is clear will leave a blue tinge, but not so much when it's cloudy (as there is not much blue sky to give ambient light).

>>4248098
thanks im glad that look is coming across is what im going for. but i also agree my proportions are fucked. any suggestions to improve?

>>4238900
>>4248112

(cont.)
Shadow color isn't just "the opposite of whatever light is being directed at the object", it is merely just an absence of whatever light is being cast. You might get this impression because everything keeps saying "shadows are generally more blue etc. etc. etc. because of the sun" but shadows are not blue because of the direct light from the sun, as I have previously explained.

In your image, for example, if the characters were being illuminated by an incandescent light while in a red room, then the shadows being cast by your characters should be an absence of the incandescent light but still have a tinge of red to it because they are being illuminated by the ambient light that is coming off the red room they occupy.

>>4248116
Photo studies. Something like this

>>4248112
Except Anon was going for almost exactly what Leyendecker was doing and making beginner mistakes while at it. Literally nothing wrong with studying masters in any context, and they could learn a thing or two from him especially. No need to be a putrid fucking cunt about it.

>>4248191
woah man, take it easy, I didn't even personally attack you I was just saying that you were trying to give off something that's completely subjective and passing it off as something only one dude in the entire world has authority over.
>you're doing it wrong, you need to do it like Leyendecker that's how it's really done.
chill out, my bro

>>4248198
>>you're doing it wrong, you need to do it like Leyendecker
I clearly never said this. You're the one that needs to chill out here my dude.

>>4246230
Your nose and mouth were painfully crooked. Anyone with a brain could see it wasn't you.

sketching a bit

>>4244852
>>4245858
>>4246016
aesthetically pleasing

>>4240815
ah, really grateful for all those pointers anon, thanks a lot!

>>4248146
thanks

cleaned up the leaves and the horses eye

>>4248725
Its critique board, not your personal blog, and you ignored everything people told you, stop posting

>>4248464
Don't know about those man arms, kinda off putting, given her feminine frame.

>>4248783
i changed the horse's size, eyes, ears, if you want a more direct change or have a more distinct problem give a redline

should I add an anime girl on it?

Any hope or back to /beg/ with me?

>>4248793
Looks pretty gay to me. I mean clean. The art is clean.

>>4248307
Looks kind of mega man x ish. I dig it

go friendos go >>4249204

>>4248018
How can I make my drawings'faces look more anime ish? I feel like they look very western. More like Disney than retro anime. And what is the actual difference specifically?

>>4249177
Yeh, a few more years, good luck anon

>>4249056
always
