not one in the catalog so
WOYA general
post what you've been drawing, post work in progress, post latest masterpieces
Just finished this Jasper drawing, really wanted to focus on my lines and coloring!
>>84159356
looks sick! interior lines look a little too sketchy tho, was that on purpose?
>>84159356
10/10, i love your style and the contrast between the warm colors used for jasper and the cold/blue bg, it really helps the design pop.
also, is it okay to post oc on here since theres no donut steel thread up?
>>84159864
das what this thread is for
>>84159356
Anatomy is wonky but it looks good.
>>84159917
ayeee
right now im working on designs for a pitch about three wannabe occultist teenage boys.
>>84159995
those look like them H.A.M niggas from runescape
Trying to get back into practicing every day.
>>84160032
I'm so glad you noticed the subtle reference
We've been having these threads die way too quickly for the past few. Let's make this one last lads.
Once there are about a dozen or so different pics it's usually safe from there. Gonna go work on that now.
I've been working on an animatic all day, I've got about 4 minutes done so far
What kind of equipment do you use to create your art?
I want to start drawing digitally but I don't know where to start
>>84160218
I usually use autodesk sketchbook for rough drafts and SAI for the final product.
>>84160218
its been a tradition to buy wacom drawing tablets with my tax returns every year
i use photoshop for most of my drawings but right now i'm doing a lot of work in toonboom
>>84160086
i can't make smooth linework worth shit and i kinda like my art more when it's sketchier
is this wrong?
>>84160713
could you buy it at store or does have to be online
>>84160218
Cintiq 13-inch. Photoshop. Recently Illustrator.
>>84161340
Intuos is available at most large electronics stores.
Cintiqs must be ordered online, generally. Check Ebay or craigslist for used ones. They're pretty sturdy and last a long time.
>>84160086
Update with basic shading and some more detail on the spear.
>>84161489
Thanks for the advice
Got those no-national-identity blues. Haven't hit the errant maple leaf quota to make this officially Canadian yet.
>>84161565
Nice work. Looks like her foremost hand should either be rotated so her knuckles are to the viewer and parallel to the spear, or her fingers fanned out a bit more towards her pointer. Your hatching is scrumptious though.
I've tried everything /co/, really I have
Since like 2012 I've been making art by literally only using Paint.net's line tool and its other various tools, and because of me using it so much I've basically mastered it. Doing art in any other was looks awful compared to what I do in my own way. The only problem is that obviously it takes centuries to draw anything, and small details are something I can literally never do
What do I do /co/? I'm honestly proud of alot of stuff I do but yet at the same time I'm not because I'm not getting any better from it
Before you ask, I got a tablet, I practiced on it for hours, and still it's awful compared to what I did before
>>84161565
>>84161832
Blogs, now.
can i post this here?
i'm gonna post this here.

Bump again before finally sleeping
HOW DO I GET BETTER?
>>84162659
p r a c t i c e
>>84162684
WHAT DO I PRACTICE?
>>84162659
I second this question, but I'd like to be more specific; are there any techniques or drill's you guys have for improving character art? Study official character sheets? Experiment with construction? Or just straight up draw your brains out?
Did another drawing of Reese a couple days ago.
>>84159488
Got the Frenden Brush Pack for Clip Studio recently, so this was inked with the Nib Gritty pen. It's my personal favorite as of yet, since it can create nice thick lines with enough pressure, but with lighter pressure the line becomes thinner and more sparse.
>>84159864
Thanks! The palette was based on the one in Jailbreak, where lots of the background used greens and blues.
>>84159980
What do I need to work on, anatomy wise? Anything helps.
>>84162659

About a 35 minute Plum drawing.
So close to completion I can taste it.
First time posting in one of these... lets see how I fare.
>>84165280
Thanks anon, hope this'll help me break the cycle of giving up again - which has been going on for years - and actually start making great stories!
Just finished doodling this.
>>84168024
this is sick
>>84170494
this is also rad
This is my most recent pic
>>84159306
Anyone has a link to the last thread?
OP is forgot to writte the title of the thread.
>>84171108
yeah my bad, i realized that like, as i was hitting post
Some utter trash.
>>84161859
>>84161832 is epictones.tumblr.com and epictones.deviantart.com, 18+ at hardtones.tumblr.
Sorry for the late reply.
>>84171210
Doesn't look bad man. Really stylish. Two Face is fun to draw.
just doodling some shit, kinda rushed and fucked up the hat, among other things
how to I get my drawings to look like the thing i'm drawing so that way its not painfully obvious i'm using the brush tool in photoshop? is that even a problem or am I just hyper-aware of my own drawings simply because i'm the one who drew it?
>>84171258
Thanks anon, is my favorite comic-book villain. I try to do my best.
>>84161859
Don't have one, sorry.
Is there any easier way to do circles/curved lines/etc in photoshop without resulting to making a separate layer, vectoring it, making a stroke, merging it, the editing it as needed?
I've almost always draw physical but recently got a yiynova tablet to switch to digital, but doing tech is so cumbersome. It sucks because I do so much mecha/ vehicle/ architecture and actually like doing so, but it take so long to do it with that method compared to ellipse guides and a ruler. Any other drawing programs let you do it simpler?
Another one.
I'm officially gay for Genji
Would anyone have any tutorials on how to make comic panel's look nice/flow well? And any tutorials on Clip Studio Paint's comic features would be nice too
>>84173192
Yo I heard about this crazy new tool called Google
>>84173422
It doesn't really have much for Clip Studio Paint's comic features, though. and I figured /co/ would have some more tutorials on comics in general than just googling it
>>84173613
>4chan would be helpful
Sadly that's 94% never the case
More brush test sketches.
>>84173192
>make comic panels flow well
Have you read Scott McClouds Making Comics? It's an entire book that focuses on how to tell stories through comics - not the "how to draw in a comic style" kind, but one about the sort of things you need help with.
>>84173929
And a furry chick.
>>84172176
Not really. Stuff like Manga Studio has stabilizers that makes it a bit easier. If you're truly drawing mechas/cars you probably have some perspective lines so you can get a good grasp. Draw large scale also helps.
Don't forget to also draw with your elbow/shoulder and not your wrist.
>>84159306
i did this today
>>84172176
What I do, because digital is amazing, is I make a giant blacked out elipse in the shape I need and then erase the center.
>>84175773
Same. Especially if I need perfect circles (Kirby, Mickey ears, etc.)
I'm really out of practice with drawing and have been making an effort to work at it more regularly. I recently did a stream on twitch for a few friends and they requested that I draw pepe.
Criticism of the lighting welcome, It's something I've never quite wrapped my head around.
Was trying to get some sketching in today.
>>84168024
Nice work this is looking great.
>>84175973
You have too many issues to really pick apart. The perspective of the computer is messed up and the values are weird since I would be supposing the idea is the comp is the only light source. It should be hitting his face more directly. That being said, using 2 values to perceive lighting isn't going to give you much direction or help at all, especially when your pepe lacks depth. Try with simple shapes and a light source. Sorry if that's not the advice you wanted.
>>84175430
Shit nigga, you draw fabulous anthro faces.
>>84176406
Danka. I made the face a bit uneven though.
>>84176043
very cool
>>84176714
You got fantastic stuff, bruh.
Gonna turn this into a full background piece with multiple characters. Really should have sketched the background first...
one of the paintings for a gallery thingy-ma-bob

>>84159306
last drawings of the month yall
goodbye june, hello july
spent some time fuckin round in Clip Studio.
think ill probably stick with sai for coloring. it's more flexible when it comes to the shit i like to do.
>>84182556
first sketch of the month, feels good man
>>84182556
You copied the girls design from this
>>84182896
studied*
ftfy
>>84178844
do you use references?
>>84179450
best ITT got a blog?
>>84182556
>>84182896
this was my reference for the top right sketch
everything else is freestyle, no reference
this is freestyle with no reference: >>84182877
sometimes i will warm up with a quick reference like this: >>84182896
and then just do freestyle sketches for the rest of the day without any reference because i honestly dont need it but it can be fun sometimes lol
>>84182896
anatomy is way off, why would anyone want to copy that
>>84183122
Nah, and I really should. My anatomy is terrible. Just have a really hard time putting what I see onto paper.
>>84183138
i saw it and was like, those are some funny poses, i also want to draw those funny poses, and turned those bitches into cute goth girls, lol, because cute goth girls are the best desu
>>84183166
It seems pretty accurate to me thats why I asked about references, if anything they look a bit too stiff like a more exaggerated gesture could help
>>84183240
My poses are stiff. How would you recommend I rectify the problem?
>>84183268
The magic of: gesture drawing
Also anatomy will help you know, for example in the lioness huntress one, which muscles will tense when walking in that position making it seem more fluid
>>84181601
mineralchicken (tumblr/DA).
Just a quick sketch/fanfic based on a concept I found to be interesting
Tried a B&W version this time.
>>84159306
Don't YOU have a few mad men to catch, bats!?
Let me sulk already.
>>84186983
Anotha one
>>84185480
I lov love your style? Do you have a blog? How long have you been drawing?
Some harley head I drew waiting on bus

And thanks!
Started drawing Sonic comics when i was eleven, and i'm 23 now. Why do you ask?
Just checking the resolution.
This was actually really fun to make, I usually get tired of a drawing halfway through
>>84159306
You know what? The only thing that will help me get better is drawing.
I was reading that Lilo & Stitch comic so I think I'll take my crazy fetish story from middle school about rape and torture and Disney characters and finally make it and share it with the internet.
I'm completely garbage. Is Successful Drawing by Loomis worth buying?
>>84170494
Tried throwing so much color on it. Does it look better just lines?
Any advice on this coloring?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxZSM8Vl8pk
how's this?
>>84191087
Sorry, let me resize this
>>84191150
Looks very bouncy, anatomy is a little wobbly, but I think that was your intent. nice so far, hope you color it!
I've been trying to get back into traditional art as of late and I'm pretty close to finally finishing a sketchbook (that's a first for me).
>>84159356
Neat...!! That's a nice Jasper.
Going off what >>84159980 said, the anatomy is wonky in some places but it's so stylized, I don't mind it personally. Her right arm (her left?) does look off though. It could be because of the foreshortening.
>>84179450
>>84180677
Good stuff, I really love the second one.
>>84190944
This looks super cool. Good job.
>>84190534
I honestly prefer it without the color. The colors in this version looks too airbrushed and rushed and the values are off as well (for example, her hair color is very close to her skin color). That being said, definitely practice on blending and values. It's a cool style though and I like the lineart.
>>84193105
And some more.
>>84191150
How long have you been working on this?
>>84193158
Like 15 minutes. I just inked it. It was an old sketch from a looooong time ago
Is there anything glaringly wrong with this design?
I've posted B&W versions here >>84189544
>>84185480
Could you tell me if you prefer the black version or the color version for the two pictures?
>>84193684
>>84193701
And i'm gonna dump a few more.
Tell me if you like it, and if it's too bright or something.
>>84193727
>>84193684
I honestly like them both, but the color version reads better.
>>84193740
Done
>>84193419
Hah, I was just curious since I remembered seeing it months ago
>>84168024
Jesus Christ, that's beautiful.
>>84193747
I see. I agree.
I think i'll go for colors.
>>84183367
>>84193105
>>84183122
Thank you :^)
and my blog is yugsly!
here is a doodle commission.
>>84182877
new traditional sketch
Newbie here, trying to work on getting fast and loose, not be so much of a perfectionist. I flipped the eyes for symmetry's sake but avoided doing that for the lids, brows, and nose. This is a good warmup, right?
>>84193105
Thanks for the critique. Due to the fact that I was inspired by Kohei Horikoshi's stuff for that pic I tried to mic his coloring style. I'm actually not very good at coloring.
I need to change how I colored the crown.
>>84194753
more traditional sketches and doodles from today
Random monstergirl type thing I worked on today. Pose/Motion is a bit fucked however.
>>84193740
This stuff is 10/10 IMO. Only complaint is it reads a bit weird since foreground and background values are very similar. Kind of hard to get where the focus is.
>>84161565
the grip on her right hand is a little off, but this is really pretty good. youve got skillz

You seem to have the profile view down. I would work more on your facial placement, and their 3D relevance, Because your facial features don't really feel as if their housed inside their head shape, thinking from a 3D viewpoint. Try to draw some 3D basic shapes to get the feel of 3d space better, and place feature on them like pic related
>>84200714
hmmm... looking at it now yeah your right, i will work on fixing this, busy playing heroes of the storm right now though
>>84201058
I wish good fortune upon you, pal.
I did a few mouse drawings
>>84202232
>>84202254
nice style, i like it! reminds me of 90's point and click games.
Working on a character reference sheet. Logo is low-quality because it's a placeholder, originally she wore an Undertaker shirt but I wanted to change it to something less copywritten.
>>84204802
Character looks pretty solid. If I had to be anal, I would say that the silhouette could be a little more unique.
Are you making a webcomic by any chance?Is it NSFW?Blog?
>>84204802
>originally she wore an Undertaker shirt but I wanted to change it to something less copywritten.
That's a darn shame.
Despite that, it's a great character design so far.
I updated my webcomic last night. I put up 5 pages beyond pic related.
Just done sketchinglast night.

Doodled this piece of shit just so I won't waste a post.
>>84210201
http://appleserum.tumblr.com/
yup!
Still very new to this whole drawing business, these threads are a big part of what inspired me to get off my ass and actually try so might as well post something
i decided that the ping pong guy and tap troupe guy from rhythm heaven needed to date.
Something I did for /vp/. Solidifying my thoughts that I like animation more than I like composition of original drawings.
Maybe the mouth opening/closing looks a little off, I don't know.
Trying to mix up life drawing sessions with more fun ones.
>>84193684
Definitely color. >>84185480 would work better if you committed to black and white more in the middle ground. The characters just don't stand out with all of the middling greys.
>>84199972
didn't get to post this last night, but here it is now lol
>>84210036
>telling someone who they can and cannot respond to
>>84215518
That's a huge step up from the other, you're learning where to put your lines, especially around the eyes. The chin on the left is a good example of what you're still doing wrong. Find out what you have to do there rather than just scribbling stuff.
Two more to add to the "different style" challenge I'm doing. Inspired by Yugsly.
>>84215646
WOW i love it!! ya did good, bud!! (its me, yugsly)
here is a picture of me, crying. thank ya.
