oh man, how did i not notice this earlier. i hope you finish it, looks promising also >that filename
Fish guy.
>>2343916
How does one even develop/discover such a specific fetish? What makes it attractive to you?
Also to keep it art related, the torso looks really mushy and weird. I think you are overstating the value range there.
>>2343916
that one is going awsome, that perspective gonna be the best you've done, go for it
dat tanned skin tho
I prefer legs a bit spread
>>2343920
seriously..paint your shit you have good ideas but i hate them being wasted in this, its like art abortion.
update on new thread
>>2344001
yep, he should abort ms paint instead
>>2343916
this gonna look good when its done.
>>2343958
To be fair I think he's giving me a fetish for it as well.
>>2344025
Niiice, how/where did you learn anatomy?
>>2344093
by tracing the original :^)
>>2344093
anatomy is on the reference, for the loli it takes some knowledge and construction, but I still have to push her gesture a bit more as left girl arms are way too long
>>2344097
post your mum
>>2344116
sweet, thanks!
>>2344093
>>2344097
>>2344116
hacks make money from guys like you >>2344121
>>2344143
:o)
>>2344143
He said he used a reference, and he obviously didn't just 1 for 1 copy it like most people do in their 'master studies' on this board.
>>2344151
Do you even know what tracing means? Using or even directly copying a ref =/= tracing.
>>2344143
tell me if this process is hack :^)
it's kinda funny now tho, back then was just pain kek
PD: I traced a still life with magic, to suddenly improve it, prove me wrong
from ref
working on a thing for artist alley
>>2344199
Hiei's pose is pretty flat compared to the rest of them, he stands out in a bad way, like he's just bored.
I liked to see more of a hierarchy in the figures as well, maybe make Yusuke take up more of the composition?
just a doodle
drawing from references makes life easier
>>2344207
nice attempt, you're trying to think form, which is good, but you're doing things so wrong from the beginning, take note:
1) don't put pressure on your pen
2) start drawing gesture, imagine lines that just follow the flow of the figure, that's a few big strokes
3) build on it the silouette, measure
4) compare horizontal and verticals
5) compare interior shapes and exterior shapes
6) and then focus on forms, use your pen to follow the skin and volumes, don't use straight lines for this nor perpendiculars to the figure outlines, it should contact as tangents at the end
7) focus on values
Take these steps in order and one at a time and you'll improve, read the sticky and visit the beginner thread >>2341131
>>2344212
how can I make the girl on the right's drool look sexier?
>>2344223
i dont really agree that i'm doing things so wrong from the beginning like you said. your feedback feels very generic and at times ambiguous/inapplicable
you should really work on your feet though, m
>>2344205
i see what you meant about hiei, also realized i flipped the image a while ago and the dragon was on the wrong side. hopefully that fixes it.
yusuke though i dont know how to make him more prominent, but i agree with you
>>2344312
Quick sketch to demo what I mean, no ref, so sorry if I mangled the character. I made Yusuke the obvious center while using his forearm to connect him to the gestures of the others, creating a nice flow. Obviously there's more than one way to do this, you might have to go back to thumbnails, but that's a good thing!
Check out movie posters as well, the old painted ones. They do cool things with hierarchy as well. Good luck. Also what con are you attending, if you don't mind?
>>2344312
Move Yusuke up and make draw part of his lower body. Unless you're going for a layer of color for each character it seem like you're slicing them in half for no reason.
really stuck on the arms and hands, also anything else that looks like shit
>>2344335
If you're not doing a background, cut off all the negative space and keep focus on the figure.
>>2344347
I didn't even think of that, thanks. Im kinda new to making "finished" drawings
>>2344347
Literally useless advice
>>2344365
not for this piece specifically.
>>2344370
compose how you like, I personally feel the negative space is not adding to the piece, what are you trying to convey with the empty space?
>>2344383
I can't take someone seriously when they misuse literally. Since when is telling some one to crop a piece "Literally useless"?
>>2344387
Its literally useless when its literally wrong.
In fact it might be less than literally useless since its literally bad advice.
>>2344399
How is it wrong, why would cropping it be wrong? Anon didn't compose the negative space at all, it's obviously an afterthought, so just cut it off.
I think you think that I said that ALL pieces with negative space need to be cropped, which I never said, and I'm not sure how you got that.
>>2344405
You're focusing on something completely unimportant to the drawings. That's why it's useless advice.
>>2344408
Since when is composition unimportant to ANY drawing. You absolutely don't know what you are talking about.
>>2344335
Here's a better idea of what I mean anon, a more pleasing balance with more emphasis on the figure.
>>2344410
Anon is still in the early process of drawing the figures. Some negative space on the side should be an after thought.
How about helping them with that instead of pointing out something minuscule so you feel like a big shot.
>>2344420
>Anon is still in the early process of drawing the figures.
Anon is in the early process of drawing a picture, composition is not a separate issue you figure out afterward, build them up together.
He said himself his hands and arms are off, I agree, he probably has gotten ref for them by now. If he doesn't have specific questions, I'm just going to point out what I noticed.
>How about helping them with that instead of pointing out something minuscule so you feel like a big shot.
Cry me a river you fucking baby, you made a big deal of my cropping suggestion not me. Anon agreed with me, they can do whatever they want afterward, so what's your problem?
>>2344431
post
your work
>>2342970
Not the guy you were talking to but there seems to be a pretty big perspective problem between your overall bust and the boobs.
>>2344457
>I probably shouldn't have let myself get baited
fair enough, not sure what you mean though, can you show me?
>>2344467
>>I probably shouldn't have let myself get baited
Didn't participate in the conversation. It may be the clothes that fucks up my perception of it, but the breasts seems more turned than the bust. Also, neck doesn't seems to be on the center.
how do I git gud at colors?
>>2344472
>Didn't participate in the conversation
I know, I just regretted doing it as soon as I did it.
not sure about the bust critique, I could definitely more the head over a few pixels. Thanks.
idk, just sketching shit
>>2344473
lots of practice, observe nature and other peoples work. learn color theory, work with palettes
color is probably the easiest thing to learn
>>2344480
a little visually confusing. the more i look at it the less i like it. the drawings lack resolution
the leg on the right on the figure on the left looks detached from the pelvis, if you brought it in towards the figure more it wouldnt look broken
i kind of like what youre trying to do but you're not clearly defining the clothes, hands, other features well enough. either do that with crisp, hard edges or lines
>>2344489
Yea it looks pretty messy, I my self dont understand much of it, they were done pretty fast, i'll try to do something more "defined" and easy to understand next, thanks.
>>2344480
They're really nice as sketches, as the other anon said some bits are a little vague and undefined but sketches don't need to be well defined. It tells all the important information.
One, is animation a type of stylization
Two, how to make something sketchy look good
>>2344498
Animation is a medium, it can be as real or as stylized as you want
Construction, line economy, gesture. Color helps.
Drew jack shit.
>>2344001
>>2344025
Honestly, I just find it fun on mspaint. I understand what you're saying, I should take a look at any other programs too.
>>2344415
Rad stuff man.
>>2344480
I'm digging it so far. Love the left one.
>>2344480
blog?
>>2344506
hows this for a sketchy style
Any feedback is appreciated.
>>2344415
is this the only view you do?
>>2343910
anybody else who's decent with lines but still can't color for shit?
feels weird
>>2344586
I'm the opposite.
I can paint just fine but I can't do jack shit with lines and I chicken scratch like hell.
>>2344584
No? They're also part of the OC portrait set I've been doing, doesn't means I'm just doing that, Intended to keep going with some simple poses as well but I'll try to continue with some stuffs in perspective as well next.
>>2344586
Not really weird at all, they're different skills. If you work on your colours and painting you'll get better with colours and painting.
>>2344415
And a sketch.
>>2344558
Shame, got some cool stuff going on there.
>>2344335
cleaned it up, still can't the hands to look decent at all, they look weird
>>2344324
mmm, I like your suggestion but i dont think im going to make him larger than everyone. it really does feel like an old star wars poster. but thank you! i'll probably change his pose at least
oh and the convention is Anime LA at the end of this month
>>2344688
Biggest neck in the world
>>2344688
You need a better understanding of anatomy.
Look into the Vitruvian Man to get a rough idea of how to draw a proportional body but first and foremost use reference.
>>2344696
Wow, well Im glad I posted this, never noticed that. Hopefully this is better?
>>2344699
I definitely do, do you know which parts exactly are off
>>2344685
Thanks brah!!
How's the foreshortening? It's definitely not my strong point.
>>2344702
Hands are of different sizes on that uh Gintama dude. Also the arms are too short.
>>2344713
Yeh I see the different sized hands, Just gonna leave this and move on anyway, weird fan art I decided to do
>>2344711
are you trying to give me nightmares?
Show to me your OC
Im trying to design my own right now, but cant figure out what kind of clothes she should wear, it should be Sexy but not exotic, maybe a short tube top and short spats
>>2344711
The aliums are coming
>>2344794
lol
but for real tho, i think most people do that cause it's a way of showing the body type more clearly without them being naked/wearing sexually codified clothing like a bikini/just a bra and some panties (since obviously a lot of people's OC's are straight up just a representation of themselves, and while there's still obviously some idealization going on there not everybody wants to present themselves in a sexualized manner)
this is only in references to refs only tho, if all they ever draw them in is that then yeah, they're bein kinda lazy (i myself am constantly guilty of just slappin some quick short shorts and a crop top of figures cause fuck it, don't want em to be nakey)
>>2344711
it is bad, friend :c
focus on how shapes should overlap, right now it just looks like someone with very bizarre proportions being viewed head on (apply directly to the forehead)
>>2344711
>>2345262
You're sick in the head my friend
get some help
>>2345272
why do you think that?
>>2344711
focus on form before you start linearting/rendering.
you got so excited to paint on lashes and blush that you've completely forsaken the rest of the drawing.
I've wasted so many hours trying to make this look like the camera is aiming upwards at her.
I always weenie out when it comes to pushing perspective, for fear of ruining my precious animu proportions.
I haven't been this frustrated with my art in years.
>>2344415
Looks like you're just copying this person's style
http://pigeon666.tumblr.com/
>>2345274
He thinks that you posting semi-disturbing art every day makes you insane. He is wrong. You lack a lot though.
>>2345319
yes, i agree with you
Will probably just drop it for now, can't get over how badly I fucked up the perspective on the "dead" doll.
>>2345287
lost that hard shadow and line under the nose.
I think you nailed what you were going for. It's not an extreme angle in my opinion it shouldn't.
>>2343916
>>2345460
that's cute
..but.. staight lines, corners, desu why?
your line art is not consistent, it changes on the body, and it has too many weird spots, on arms mostly
the ear might be way too small even for manga
>>2345402
I like how its going, let me see how u finished it
>>2345490
Thank you man, this looks really good. I kind of want a slight lean in her posture though, any advice on that?
>>2345287
showing the underplane of the chin would help sell the worms eye view.
>>2345296
You can't copy a god anon
>>2344431
In the realm of digital art a little negative space of the outside is an after thought because it can be easily fixed. Now if the figures composition wise were off you'd have an argument for composition there but they're in a good place. Personally I don't see what the big deal is about that extra space. The two characters are still the focus and my take is their looking away from each other has more feeling because it looks like their reluctant to hold hands to show affection for one another that extra space representing that being close but distance.
like one anon said negative space can be important. It's up to the artist to decide if they want it or not and up to the viewer to decipher it.
>>2345592
Do you want her to lean back or on a side?
>>2345740
Slightly to her side
I don't know if i should get another monitor (i only have one) or just buy the huion hd185. Money is not an issue.
Please digital artist if you help with this decision i would be grateful.
I want to have loose lines in a way that looks good. Something sketchy like this, maybe
Oh well, ended up doing the whole pic in one go.
>>2345296
Eh, was beginning to wonder if I was the only one to know him here.
Pigeon is a pretty major influence for me, but copy is a bit too much, was just mostly experimenting to create the same kind of renders as him.
>>2344790
>>2344821
>>2344877
>>2345102
Alright, I'll rework the whole thing lol
>>2345275
I guess I should've posted my initial sketch, I know it's bad but this is my secondary, cleaner sketch. If the foreshortening is bad that means I'm really bad at foreshortening, the only reason why I focus on the face so much is because I like to get the facial expression right so the pose fits the face, if that makes any sense.
>>2345846
Eyelashes that big make it difficult to do different expressions. Maybe playing around more with that will be good for you.
>>2345807
her ribcage is wider than her shoulders
>>2344584
Fuck you. All you do is post shit post on this board.
>>2345807
Idk if you did this on purpose but she looks like a blob from the waist down. It doesn't look like she has wide hips, it looks like squidward when he started eating krabby patties
>>2343916
This is looking interesting, more so than your usual staging.
>>2345845
The angles are different on each character.
>>2345974
Kek, they're probably two copies mashed together
Here's a thing.
>>2345460
I love demon girls.
>>2345807
I don't know what it is but I'm aroused. Sketchy doesn't necessarily mean messy. Usually keep it clean with your lines and avoid chicken scratches.
>>2345845
I like your style anon. it's neat.
After a long pause i decided to draw again i think i did quite good desu any crits? :D
Me again... I think for the first time in my life I achieved a great color relationship, but im not sure.
Yea, the lines are pretty sketchy :p
Colored then quickly got bored - moving on
Thanks for the pick OP! >>2343910
>>2346157
Woah, those colors, I love the lines as well.
I would, however, try to give the clothes a bit more texture, they look too smooth compared to the skin.
>>2346157
nice highpass filter bruv
>>2346170
you rock tableguy!
>>2346190
how else did you make the the hard pixelated edges then?
>>2346170
You are improving really fast and you make some pretty good artwork lately. Keep it up, tableguy!
>>2346170
take sky photo without horizon, blurr it, copy it quickly, use as bg for that shit
don't leave it like that lol
will be awsome
>>2346191
Brushy Brushy
Its square and hard so it gives that effect i think, and smart sharp
>>2344587
Same here. I can ink traditionally though, I'm pretty good at getting lines down with fine liner pens and proper ink brushes. But digitally, all my lines are absolute shit. I don't know if it's my tablet settings or just me not doing things correctly, but I feel like I have no control over my digital lines.
Anyone know some tips?
>>2346195
I admit that was kinda neat
>>2346193
>>2346188
FYI the robot isn't mine, it was a study - but thanks!
>>2346228
holy shit it went better than expected highfive
>>2346228
this is amazing
incredible shading
Just for shits and giggles.
>>2346227
I hate digital inking, but some anon suggested using a scanner. It helps you at least get your content onto the computer for coloring, and you can clean up in PS.
Otherwise for digital inking, I am still learning, but I spam the eraser. Here are some things I tried that didn't work
>turning my initial sketch into ink by erasing the hairy lines
It is better to just push the sketch onto a lower layer, then draw over it
>Inking without rotating the canvas
I used to ink with the intuous but my pen control sucks so I can only comfortably draw lines at certain angles. Rotating the canvas quickly sucks in PS compared to traditional. I'm going to sound like a dick right now, but I have been using the iPad and canvas rotation is significantly easier. Maybe some anon as a tip for fast canvas rotation??
>>2346212
oh well then, smart sharp works similarily as highpass+overlay
>>2346251
blog?
I haven't drawn fashion figures in a while. I guess I am pretty rusty...
>>2346237
>shading
I was informed by some tumblr anon that I should just cel shade instead of floundering around with painting. Good advice, but I'm going to have to learn how to paint eventually...
>>2346230
/ic/ can be surprisingly helpful sometimes
>>2346228
what was the original resolution?
>>2346287
2732x2048. I keep zooming out and taking screen caps off the iPad to shrink the images. The image resizing app I have found has bad interpolation.
>>2346289
wutwutwututwutuwt? you drew this on an ipad?
any major fuck ups on the sketch? hands gonna be a pain
>>2345845
>>2345974
> The angles are different on each character.
Well, the overall bodies were on the same angle, but fucked a few stuffs like the head of the left character, working on it.

>>2346335
that's not how you hold a clipboard.
>>2346335
minor update but gotta do another so let's rest this one till final lineart/coloring, hope I get some feedback :8

thx just changed that, clipboard perspective is shit anyways, will use transformation tool later for that

blog? im serious i actually like it
any fuck up/crit on this concept so far? underwater guardian
>>2346410
The face and the head look like they're from separate drawings, like it was a dudes face that got shopped onto it
Try making him look less like my boss and maybe make his face a harder looking surface so it merges better with the spikes
>>2346448
okay I'll try to make it translate to the head softer so it does not look like that D:
>>2346355
tyyy

>Alternative Art
>Alternative
That word is near meaningless in front of the word "art."
Saying "unconventional" art isn't saying much of anything. At most it's implying "lazy" or "untrained" art. Like "outsider" art.
But that's meaningless too since the "traditional" "art community" hasn't held any sway for decades and has no influence over art audiences here or throughout the rest of the internet.
And all of these images are created using mainstream tools and techniques. Nothing in any of these threads is "alternative" or "unconventional" in any way.
Naming these threads or images "Alternative Art" is stupid as fuck.

Pigeon is a girl.

>he does it for FREE
>>2346543
This is coming along nicely. Good to see that you draw more than cutesy animu girls.
>>2346354
Don't forget to work on the shirt rendering.
>>2345341
The cabinet perspective is also out of whack. Maybe sketch the whole scene with blocks to get the perspective before painting
>>2344593
Her legs look unnatural and cut off.
>>2344563
Not sure what this is, did you ever finish it?
>>2344561
Push the values more, it looks flat
>>2344192
The head doesn't match the body realism
>>2346613
>Not sure what this is, did you ever finish it?
I stopped there, I just wanted to try a quick drawing from gesture
rendering is too soft right now, but I guess I'll rely on layers when coloring, gotta fix hands tho
>>2346739
mouth is too low and her right hand is a lot smaller than her left hand.
>>2346157
Do you have a tumblr?
>>2346739
Either go with moe proportions or don't there is no inbetween as if you try to it would result as something unpleasant and uncanny.
>>2346366
I see what you did there, I'll try it on my next draw
How many levels of cel shading are commonly used?
Think I'm done with this one.
>>2346869
Muy bueno amigo
>>2346869
I'm not at your level, but even I can see that her arms are too short and her head seems too big.
I like the hair and the concept overall, but it would be much better if you take more risk or put more effort on your draft.
>>2346869
on top of what anon above mentioned the arms come out too far away from the body even considering that the skin and muscle has degraded, but body is misaligned with the face. Her breasts are misaligned with her shoulders, and clothes don't hug the form like drawn from shoulders to breasts.
>>2346874
¡Muchas Gracias!.
>>2346893
>>2346898
Thanks for the input, sad thing is that I did try. I did this quick edit whioch I hope is better.
>>2346898
>>2346937
Maybe i'm talking shit but i think your problem might be patience and/or lack of time. Almost all your problems come from rushing the construction phase.
>>2346937
I'd suggest just finish that one up and work on construction. Many of the problems I mentioned (minus the clothes) would take pretty big reconstruction and has its roots in your initial sketch probably.
>>2346739
>>2346997
your boobs are absolute shit.
>>2346344
>>2347050
their tits are fine
do better and shut up, don't complain about what you don't understand
>>2347095
you seem upset anon, have some animu lesbians to help you calm down.
>>2346129
Terrible b8. Kys
>>2346997
thx a lot, will work on it tomorrow, gotta sleep
>>2347113
armpits don't make a "fuck" sound.
If you were fucking an armpit it might what a 'thwack thwack' sound, but "fuck" would not be a noise that comes from the armpit.
>>2346997
The boobs look off, they're at a completely different angle than her collarbone.
If you're going to redline you should take into account which aspects of the drawing are stylistic choices.
>The head looks way too big in comparison to the rest of the body.
This statement in particular is asinine since I could say the same about your redline.
Not saying your construction is bad but you need to have a better understanding of stylization before redlining someone else's work.
>>2346997
Honestly there are so many things with this red line it probably hurts the original artist more than it helps.
Not to say the original drawing was perfect, but you're leading him far astray with your redline
>>2347149
I actually like it of all of those that you posted recently. It has something to it, I guess composition is nice and the background.
>>2347156
what is composition to you? just so i check if i have the right idea. thanks!
>>2347159
Oh, well, I rather meant to say direction, but composition means to where the attention of the viewer is drawn. In this case, to the head of the snake. There's a clear direction and flow in this drawing unlike your other ones where everything is mashed on top of other.

How do i make this better?
>>2347410
learn anatomy.
learn lighting.
>>2347418
yeah, but could you be more specific about the image in general? i know there are mistakes and i wish to learn from them, so it'd be good if you point them out.
>>2347480
Not the same anon but the lighting on the character comes from her side when it should be coming from her front, the shadows on the bed don't look right and it kinda looks like she's floating.
Her lower body looks like its facing a little more towards the left than her upper body, and the shading isn't the same as the background and that looks a little off too.
Posting some progress
First sketch:
>>2347266
>>2347483
Thanks, I see what you mean. I'm gonna try to fix the light and pose later. About the style: i was trying to go for a more 'animation' look with a cg character and a more detailed background, just experimenting new stuff.
>>2347418
What's wrong with the anatomy here or are you just throwing out the few buzzwords you know?
>>2347502
best girl is sora :^)
>>2346942
No problem, I appreciate your observation. I will work on that.
>>2346975
I tried fixing it some more: http://firez-da.deviantart.com/art/Zombie-Princess-583717437. Fixing proportions when everything is rendered is quite hard
Thanks for your help and sorry for the nuisance.
>>2347410
This is really nice but she seems "divorced" from her environment (She appears to be floating and the styles don't quite match, also try to revise the perspective, the room looks almost diamond shaped)
>>2347410
>>2347506
made some changes to the light and pose
Converted some old inktober drawings into png's so I can finally color them in
I guess it is time to shade
>>2347557
better
>>2347561
i don't know if this is good or bad but it reminds me of Invader zim big head style and i like it.
>>2347557
Looks better, but your lighting should be a bit more dynamic.
>>2347574
i'm not the drawer, but what do you mean with dynamic lighting?
>>2347580
>>2347582
Wow
thanks
I need help. I don't know what to do with the arms. ...or anything with this
>>2347600
Well i did this in mouse and isn't even anatomical accurate (that's why is shit) but it works anyway,
Well, it doesn't have depth,
it's like you tried to draw a 3d body but it's all flat.
I recommend you to learn body anatomy
proko will help you.
I'm a noob piece of shit, but i think it's better than nothing.

>>2347561
Done I guess. I found a treasure trove of brushes and proceeded to overuse them. I need to work on my lighting.
>>2347572
It was a zombie cat for Halloween, but since I didn't want to draw hands he got chainsaws
>>2347645
Don't like eyes, anything else is fucking amazing.
>>2347646
I'm open to suggestions for the eyes - should they be bloodshot and veiny or something? Less air brushed and more cel shaded?
>>2347645
The pink in the eyes is too saturated compared to the pic, Idk what to say other than experiment
>>2347651
Not him but I think you could add a texture to the eyes since they look too smooth compared to the rest of the picture. Maybe add a more... glassy effect?
I'm trying to draw a bear character and when i'm halfway through I have second thoughts about how long her muzzle should be. What do you guys think is better, left or right?
>>2347657
Short one looks more like a bear.

Could use some references
>>2347651
I'm the first guy and i agree with the other dudes, the eyes are so "Smooth" in contrast to the rest of the cat, i would prefer some darker tones and cel shading to be according to the rest of the cat.
>>2347657
i don't know a shit but wouldn't it look more like a bear if you make the part behind the nose wider?
>>2347657
It looks like the younger and older version of the same character, the left feels a bit more bear-like maybe.
>>2347169
i see, thanks for the advice!
>>2347586
>>2347574
You don't have to do that. Your colors have just enough shading, light, and value to compliment the drawing.
Some of /ic/ think you have to apply every single thing they've read in some art book to every piece or every style. You don't. Sometimes you can keep it simple and still produce something good.
>>2347119
bashed bg for testing it, will clean shit, paint better values and do bg next
>>2347781
the fucking nose man...
Done this time I guess.
>>2347793
thats really neat. Will they sex?
>>2347800
Maybe.
>>2347793
>muh anime comic
>>2347810
What are you even trying to say?
>>2347816
derivative weaboo shit
>>2347816
I think he's upset that anon didn't change their art per his critique and went to insults about anime.
>>2347070
too true, too funny
>>2347820
nice samefagging but i never commented on the quality of the drawing its clearly beyond repair
>>2343916
I see you took my advice from a month back about female form.
Keep doing your stuff. I love it!
>>2347657
shorter snout is more bearish and also slightly more feminine
>>2344711
>sees past work, its amazing
>sees this and laughs
>notice i dont do perspective
>try some angles
oh shit!!
>>2347907
overlapping forms are your friend, friend
also remember to use reference, if you don't know how something looks for a certain angle no amount of self inflicted brow beating will will that information into your mind.
am I the foot master of the internet yet?
>>2347781
Even stylized those eyes feels way too far apart for me. Looks like there's no orbital cavity either.
>>2347936
Drawings good, I can't be sure but I don't think Robin's torso in foreshortening correctly. Not sure if she's reclining or about to sit up, unlike nami.
This is a personal thing, feel free to ignore, but you lost the design when you caricatured Robin and Nami. They just look like animu girls in a specific wig than the characters themselves.
>>2347936
Nami's face still kind of works (her eyes makes her looks kind of retarded tough), but that's not Robin at all anymore.
>>2347936
good, but you've committed the sin of fetish pinups by having one fetish (the foot) block another (massive cleavo on the left girl)
also the lack of cast shadows when coupled with the much more polished rendering of the characters leaves them feeling ungrounded from the scene, like they're possibly floating above the chairs instead of sitting in them
polished turd? any advice for colors?
>>2347968
Just move on. Eyes are way too far apart even for animu.
>>2347968
did you know if your hand is bigger than your face you have cancer?
>>2347936
nice bras! i feels like their faces are a little off though, its a variant on uncanny valley maybe define robins hand a tad more btw
>>2347486
its a little early for you to start rendering shit seriously considering your lack of prportions. stop using soft brushed this much or water color or blurr or whatever the fuck youre doing
>>2346400
no blob, but here is a more finished sketch
>>2346838
Sorry I dont have any blogs.
>>2344480
It's nice that you don't use a white bg for your sketches. But you can use whites on the sketches thenselves for a more varies value range.
I like it but them long.arms tho...
>>2347992
Negro you're leaving money on the table.
>>2347992
for the character on the left
the far (their physical left) elbow is jutting out too far, and their waist is a little disproportionately thin
other than that looks nice
make a blog fucker
>>2347992
very appealing
kill yourself.
i like it.
9/11 was an inside job.
