From quick doodles to polished artwork, all welcome.
Wow, what a nice picture of mom!
cute hag, dude.
>>14827414
mine is not cute.
>>14827414
this is yours jadf?
gj bronow do a non-heretic one
I sketched this a couple of days ago
I tried
>>14828694
Not important
>>14828779
I'll redraw it and try to color it
Just an overnight bump, so I have a thread tomorrow to draw for.
>>14828658
> JADF
> clothed/not porn
Yeah, no way.
>>14827414
It was nice of you to draw my mom, but...
Why did you make her boobies so big?
>>14832058
All moms must have big boobs to feed their children
>>14828694
Nice, but Okuu's legs look a bit too short to me for some reason.
Not bad, though.
Drew an awwwooo last night
>>14828779
Very important.
>>14833714
Great job on that awoo. Would join the nightly chorus.
>>14832203
I'm in the middle of digitally redrawing it, I see what you mean, I probably need to fix the perspective.
>>14833714
Analog or digital?
>>14834029
Traditional Copic marker
Will the OC thread have to wait this one to die?
I'm not posting here.
>>14834528
No, these two threads are unrelated. This thread is dedicated for drawing Touhou characters, not general original content.
>>14827414
Nice Buddhist, op!
Here's my blonde thief, drawn from a loong time ago.
>>14835242
Why does this look like an elaborate trace or indirect copy?
>>14835252
Think so? You've got sharp eyes, anon. I used my own hands as a reference and posed to "copy" them.
>>14835252
Oh wait, you must have meant I copied from another source. This is oc. I'm sorry if you're not convinced.
>>14835242
Sweet. What pencils did you use?
>>14835328
Thanks, anon! Makes my day!
It's been quite the while, but I can remember I used regular ole mechanical pencils. The lead I used were 0.5 and 0.7 HB, sold anywhere.
Heck you probably know more than I do.
And here's a not as well drawn Iku.
>>14835352
I can't art for my life. However, I am a writing enthusiast and enjoy my writing tools.
>>14835393
Oh, that's wonderful. Do you perhaps have some advice for pencils that can shade well?
That's something I've been meaning to hone.
>>14835415
I'm more of a pen guy, but from what I know, people say B pencils are good for shading.
I wouldn't go harder than 1H for shading.
>>14835242
I'll def take note of that. Pens are my next hurdle.
Thanks, anon.
Aaand Mokou, my first attempt of a Touhou girl.
>>14835454
I recommend the Pilot Plumix, and Rhodia paper.

Nothing matters.
>>14835514
A wild inaba has appeared
>>14835532
Is she gonna help you with math? Or just moral support?
Im jealous of /jp/s drawing skills
>>14835242
I... I feel like I've seen this before....
>>14837130
You probably have. I've posted these images on this board's oc thread a couple years back.
>>14828468
I like it
>>14828468
Same. Is Yuuka holding an imaginary umbrella?
>>14837164
Umbrella is her friend, even when invisible.
I drew this as an experiment to see if this website would recognize my terrible picture of Rumia.
http://demo.illustration2vec.net/
I put the weird background and the English in to try and throw it off, but it still worked fine.
>>14837322
That's the symbol for the Roman legion, right? The program recognized Rumia is Roman, gasp.
>>14835906
Just moral support to learn lessons.
Reisen help me with formulas, and Suwako-chan with definitions.
Did this a while ago
>>14839335
I feel at ease now.
>>14839335
That's really lovely, anon. The red adds a nice touch.
The yukkuri is taking it quite easily!
>>14836019
It's okay, you'll be good one day as long as you keep drawing and practicing.
>>14837889
Lol, that's pretty nice.
>>14835532
Tiens, un maths sup.
>>14847750
Don't like wings?
Also, something I'm working on. It's not very good so far and I will either have to rework a lot of this, or just toss the idea.
>>14847770
Do they look that awkward?
>>14847814
The poses of the wings are fine, it's just that they don't really seem to have much detail or effort as the rest of the pic does. It's sort of like a footfag's casual artpiece- the feet would be uncomfortably detailed while the rest of the picture not so. An inverse of that, if you will.
>>14847878
I've never noticed that before. I don't dislike drawing wings, but I guess I did half-ass them a bit.Interesting analogy by the way
>>14847878
>>14847750
I thought the wings look good like they are. For me, I see the focus being on Okuu, and detailing the wings more than necessary would detract the main part of the art.
I guess it would look too "busy".
But that's imo, so please don't feel inhibited by me.
>>14848471
You're right that detailing the wings more than necessary would make the image look too busy, but as it is, the wings are detailed less than necessary, making them look strange when placed under closer scrutiny.
Progress on my picture. I'm still not too sure about it.
>>14848553
A few things:
-right ear is too skinny compared to the left
-right eye is too huge compared to the left
-the mouth is strangely placed, it should be somewhere below her nose
Check some 3DPD 3/4 view references to see what I mean.
>>14848573
>-right ear is too skinny compared to the left
Yeah, I'm trying to figure out how to make it look thicker while keeping in line with the perspective as best as I can.
>-right eye is too huge compared to the left
Noticed that long ago. Was trying to figure out how to get it to look better, but I don't know if I should make the left eye bigger or the right eye smaller.
>-the mouth is strangely placed, it should be somewhere below her nose
It's kind of a placeholder.
I'm also figuring out her left side of her hair.
>>14848583
Something like this could help. All I did was resize. I only drew one line to help separate the eye from the hair.
I wish I could give you a redline but I'm not great at anatomy myself. I can at least help the issues become a little less glaring though.
>>14848615
The eye looks nicer than before, but the ear's, eh... I kinda want it to face the viewer. The hair's also much better.
>>14839335
shiddy nidori should die eajy!
>>14848553
This should be a bit better.Wanted to do it earlier, but got distracted
>>14848694
Yes, that's much better. Now the image feels more complete and I can stop being bugged by those wings.
>>14848615
Better?i like thick eyebrows
>>14848747
Much better!
Welp, I'm stuck on her outfit now.
>>14848852
Redrew her for you and made some changes.
>>14835454
Mokou da bess. Is she eating yakitori?
>>14847750
Okuu ur waifu?
>>14849473
Y-yeah I need to learn how to draw bows sometime. Very nice, but not really the style I'm going for.
This isn't the final version, but it's what I've got for tonight. I'll clean it up eventually.
>>14849600
She is my waifu
Trying to draw my wife was a mistake.
Trying to do fun things with colors to try to make it warm and soft to alleviate the sketchiness from not being able to draw single lines was a bigger mistake.
At least I didn't try to draw legs.
First time I've drawn anything in like two years since the last time I gave up.
>>14849826
Never stop
>>14848657
nuuuuu
tips on making lineart quickly?
>>14849595
Glad you like her! It could be anything you'd like. My idea was either a long lollipop or a pocky stick.
>>14851609
Perfecting your muscle memory helps.
I tried. I'm bad but I like practicing, I finally got a tablet recently.
>>14849600
I just find her fun to draw.
>>14852496
Don't sell yourself short, it makes me look even worse.
>>14849777
Looks nothing like okuu
>>14828694
I applied ink to it, touching up as best as I could, I'll have it colored soon
I don't draw often, but it's fun sometimes.
>>14854480
I rarely draw her in her default cloths and im still experimenting with my style.
>>14854480
she's missing the eye
>>14849473
>>14849759
why ya gotta make me feel bad.
>>14853893
Anon pls I'm bad.
>>14857734
Vaguely Skullgirls-sy.
>>14856211
Their expressions look like they are trying very hard not to pee.
>>14833714
That's fantastic, I like you.
>>14857734
thick, reminds me of skull girls
>>14857975
try using a cross grid over the face, it will help with the proportions so you can visualize where every part should be
>>14857734
her feet are busted and her skull shape is making me uncomfortable
>>14857975
And if you're bad then I'm gutter shit.
>>14859332
Oh my, I love the style.
>>14857748
Hey, you helped me figure out perspectives somewhat for the next time I do something like this, I guess.It's not really my fault you redrew it but I like the picture
>>14859332
Das quite nice.
What happened to the OC drawthread?
>>14862113
Nobody made one.
>>14856235
I appreciated that Chiyuri.
>>14858320
I was going for a somewhat smug look, not sure how to change it
>>14859400
>>14857975
I did a little better.
>>14863395
Sorry, I'm posting too much.
>>14863541
Not at all. Please share! Touhou should flourish from every fan.
>>14863541
it doesn't look half bad, you got satori's stubby arms correct, just work on the female anatomy more
>>14849812
Trying again 'cause I ain't never satisfied.
I feel less terrible about this one already but is there anything glaringly retarded about it before I finish it?
>>14864817
Couldn't get the legs to cooperate at all.
I'm not sure how to make clothes on bent limbs look right either.
Art is hard.
>>14865458
I think I see what you're doing with her hips. The second piece has her anatomic right hip somewhat disappearing. Since she's rather voluptuous, she should have an obvious hip/butt.
Not sure if you've tried this, but try posing yourself in the position you'd like your characters to be in (unless you have a better source).
Hope this helps!
>>14865610
Added a bit more oomph to the right side of her lower body and moved the ribbon over so it doesn't look like it's eating her hips. Moved a couple other lines and touched up the eyes as well.
I still can't get it to do what I want though.
I think I just need to call it on this one and stick to simpler things until I know what people look like and can handle perspective on limbs. Her left leg is supposed to be bent at the knee and somewhat in the foreground "in front" and on top of her right leg.
I tried posing myself but I can't see my knees from the front and for some reason I'm not wearing a dress. I should get one of those pose-able models.
Didn't turn out extremely well, but have a fluffy Ran.
>>14834528
oh thank goodness, I thought the OC threads died while I was sleeping.
>>14866517
the body looks great, the hair looks short and flat, face looks good
>>14866884
But the face is the worst part in this drawing.
>>14866135
I'd say it looks better. Keep it up! I like it. Instead of a dress, a simple blanket/cloth may work for you.
I've been where you are before, not getting things to work accordingly. I notice you haven't added shading yet, which could really bring out perspective.
I still recommend posing unless you have something better of course. And yeah, easier said than done.
I wish the rolldraws could have worked, I really liked the idea.. I wonder why so many people absolutely refused to use them for drawing.
>>14857734
>>14867481
not really, the hair, as I said earlier, is what feels off about it; the face is fine
>>14857975
Oh shit it's Milla Jovovich!
did some patchy stuff during valentines
here's one
>>14869627
& here's another
>>14869630
That escalated quickly, anon.
This is my drunken MS paint mokou, I don't know what inspired me to draw it since I've never drawn anything before but here you go.
>>14870122
Pretty good for being drunk.
>>14870122
You're on the first step to ZUNvana.
>>14871443
not as often as I would like to
>>14871443
2+ hours most days. But I don't practice/study anymore even though I should.
>>14871443
I'm on-and-off with it and usually draw something every other day at least for about a month and then get discouraged and stop for several months before wanting to do it again.
So not nearly enough.
Tomorrow's art day.
>>14871544
I've been drawing since I was a toddler, yet I've never really felt like I've masted the craft, like I'm always a step behind or in the wrong direction. Pic related was from last year, I feel like I've gotten better with >>14828694.
>>14869627
i like this picture a lot anon
the hair looks very nice and im going to save it its cool
>>14872348
that's real nice man thanks im glad
>>14876859
Woah..
>>14876859

>>14866517
Grain of salt, etc.

>>14876859
Don't laugh...
Satorin is a BIG sister!
>>14883167
Is she hiding a cat Orin under that shirt?
>>14871544
I got better pretty quickly but its still hard to get myself to draw. I dont have enough inspiration, my standards are too high and I can never stick with one style.
>>14871544
Yep, I've been there. After some time of not drawing well, I began copying art, and after I became good at reproducing them, I began making my own. Maybe finding art you'd like to copy for a while to get your hands adjusted may help?
Any drawfags want to shamelessly promote themselves? I wanna see stuff you've done outside the drawthread.
>>14877082
thanks dude
>>14877068
>>14879041
don't bully the bug
I just ordered a drawing tablet. Maybe I'll make some 2hus.
>>14886031
nice bun as well
>>14884795
like what in particular?
I never drew anything before besides MS Paint garbage so I attempted my favorite 2hu
>>14886031
More like Reisen-a-finger amirite.
>>14884795
OP is already doing it so why not
>>14886338
>>14886447
Like if you have a deviant art or equivalent, I'd really like to check it out!
>>14886241
Oh I see now. Your plan sounds pretty good. There's not much from me except to wish you the best (kinda interested to read your works eventually). You seem positive to draw, and keep that with you. It really goes a long way.
>>14886406
Retard moe
>>14887243
She got damaged in the move
>>14886846
Thanks. I'm a writer but my mind works very visually and I feel that art is the only way I can truly express my stories. A few weeks ago I just said "fuck it" and decided that I was going to become an artist no matter what. This comic in particular is basically a shounen fighting manga with cute girls and danmaku, and that kind of over-the-top action just plain doesn't work in prose.To be fair, I can't deny that I also wanna draw 2hu porn
But man is this going to be one tough journey. How do the Japanese get so good? Most western artists, even the best, just can't reach them. Hell, other asians can reach that level but I've seen so few non-asian artists that can reach the level of the thousands of amazing Japanese artists on Pixiv.
>>14889294

stop being a giant fucking weeaboo
>>14889767
That sounds quite a bit like an opinion actually, though on average I find the arstyle they use to be more appealing, as I assume do you.
rumia day~
>>14889767
I assume it's because they grew up around more "detailed" artistic influences on average than westerners would. Take something like say, Dexter's Laboratory vs. some anime of that time. Obviously, weebness aside, there's likely to be more detail in the latter than the former. I feel that some of their skill stems from that, somehow. I'm not very good with words, so it's hard to explain exactly what I mean.
>>14890286
Cute rumia
best cathu
>>14890648
I have an itch to draw cathu, but I need to get off my ass and color this picture
>>14890851
I did it, had to compress it, but I did it

Oh shit.
She would make a splendid inquisitor. No hiding the truth!

>>14889767
>>14890007
>>14890286
Actually there is a reason why nips are averagely better artista than the rest.
its the runes. since when they are little, they train their brains into remembering and drawing complex graphic symbols that have multiple meaning, and may or not actually resemble what they stand for
This training, coupled with the typical "no slacking" asian culture makes them very apt in what is called symbol drawing, aka stylization
>>14893463
pretty sure it's because japanese schools actually have art class, nothing to do with kanji
>>14893512
American schools actually have art classes too.Though I suppose you mean classes with actual art teachers, not either middle-school teachers who just make you do "fun" stuff or high school teachers who give you very little in the way of actual art training.
>>14893869
American art classes are a joke, if you want to learn, you better do it yourself.
Drawing is fun even when you suck at it.
I should really get started on bettering my body work... but it's extremely difficult to make myself do it, even if I have all the books necessary.
>>14893097
>>14893350
Appreciated these.
>>14893350

also tiny remi a cute
>>14894575
I disagree. I only like looking at art.
I hate drawing. But, I like making music.
>>14894575
I strongly disagree. As a perfectionist if I cant get something to look the way I want I usually do not enjoy myself if I keep getting it wrong.

that's pretty cool
finished
>>14904367
I'm going to draw orin, after I finish practice drawing the Mokou from the Mokou thread
>>14903696
I thought it was wool for a moment until I flipped the image. Very nice looking.

I find this very hard to look at.

Awoo a cute. Good job.

Can't say I appreciate the style as it is.
>>14905313
>I can't say I appreciate the style as it is
What sould i fix? The line, the colors, the face...
I also think Its not as good as it could be, but I can't see the reason.
I also did a traditional version with ink and watercolors, but I dont like how it turned out. Pic related
>>14906060
is this the hand drawn version? the colors are excellent!
>>14905313
>I find this very hard to look at.
Oh. How come? Is it the lines? The detail? The angle the thing is flipped?
>>14907696
Mostly the angle for me. The lines look nice.
>>14897536
>>14909734
What tool do you use to get such neat lines?
>>14907802
I understand. I guess I'll just go ahead and level this cause why not? Thanks for your input.
>>14909870
Yeah now that its rotated upright I can actually mentally process those dank memes.
Usually people try the upside-down thing to hide bad anatomy but this is actually pretty solid.
Did you draw this then rotate it after the fact or did you actually draw it upsidedown?
>>14909829
Pen tool
>>14909883
The former. What I did draw upside down, though, was that big staff.
Also, I want to know if I'm the only one who does this with their WIPs.

As in, there's lack of detail on the sides of the chair's hands? I'm a bit sleepy, so pardon the confusion.
I do appreciate the feedback, anon.
>>14910536
>Also, I want to know if I'm the only one who does this with their WIPs.
What do you mean?
>>14912254
Probably redlining his own stuff.
>>14912254
>>14912944
Actually, the red lines was because I wasn't bothered to use a different color, but I guess you can call it that.
I was more or less referring to whether or not people do more with their sketching than they should, detail wise. I hear they have your head for that shit in art class.
>>14913025
That really wasn't apparent from your post.. Anyway, the main problem is that it's a seriously bad habit to spend too much time on something at any stage of a piece, and many tend to focus on irrelevant details before they have even the basic form done.
This often leads to further reluctance to discard a flawed sketch, and even more time wasted trying to fix things instead of doing things properly.
How much detail you add and how long it should take obviously depends on what you're trying to do and how skilled you are. Sketching a form shouldn't take any time, but you can't plan composition without basic detail. Redrawing a more detailed sketch can be useful before drawing the final piece, but it all boils down to being efficient and purposeful.
Classes tend to be about tried and true methods that lead to reliable results, but it's not like you can do art "wrong"..
I'll post again later tonight
The SDM and PCB characters were the first ones I did for Dominions modding.
>>14920891
Wow, you drew all that?
I didn't know ZUN browsed.
I haven't drawn anything in almost 2 months.
But take this Marisa I did last.
In retrospect it's quite generic with really no movement to it. Just a portrait, I was testing out some markers/pens I got.
>>14924506
Her face looks a little odd, but I like the style, and I like whatever tools you used. What did you use to draw her?
>>14918139
Is that still being worked on? I've never played the game myself, but I have a friendfrom /tg/who plays and seemed interested when I mentioned I had seen someone working on a 2hu mod for it.
>>14925638
.5 Roller ball pen for the outlines/hatching, .7 roller ball for darker lines, and a brush tip pigma for the fills.
I got a set of pigma pens as a gift and this was my test of them, pretty much.
Wish I had the talent, will and time to actually start learning how to draw.
>>14926456
it's not that hard to get started everyone's shit at first and mostly everyone's still pretty shit
just /ic/ and practice and you'll git gud
Speaking of practice, I have no motivation to draw.
Someone give me a 2hu to attempt.
>>14926491
Nue wearing Aya's clothes
>>14925843
Yup, slowly but surely. I'm working on the UFO characters now.
>>14926497
Interesting. I'll probably get it up here within a week if I have enough time.
>>14926456
I am pretty sure talent is barely a factor.
See: That one pixiv artist who drew Komachi every single day. The first bunch are all really shit, but you can see him getting better over hundreds of images. I wish I could remember his name and if he is still drawing Komachi
>>14926776
>>14926491
Yeah, I mostly have issue with the latter two factors, I have already accepted my lack of talent.
It's really demotivating when you draw something and it looks like shit, even when you expect it to due to your lack of skill and the slow process of improvement just hammers in the idea that you are going nowhere even after working hard.
Then you give up, wait some time, start having fun drawing again and then repeat the process, this cycle is really bad for your self-esteem.
