jes the neck is supposed to be that long.
strange dude looks strange

ok, this is the corrected version.
thanks for your help.

>>5868
Um, how did you correct the image?

In any case it looks better now, excellent work. Please come back some other time :]

I like her nipples. Your shit is fucking sick.

nipps are a beautiful thing.

Thanatos, I really like this stuff. Your style is reminiscent of Berserk to me.

Perhaps this is in part due to your style and in part due to your habit, but I have noticed that most of your ladies look the same... the "Generic Yuna from FFX" Look. That's my only gripe about your works. I know with your skills you can do a lot better than the generic Yuna.

>>5872

Yeah I guess I concur. But perhaps, maybe I'm wrong; what he's been posting here might actually be the same lady.

i know its generic but i cant help it cause i dont have any models and i`m pretty happy with drawing her. it would be better if i drew somethting real. Berserk is awesome, so thanks for saying it looks like my drawings, really.
new stuff is on the way.

>>5874

That is quite true. Are these from the same story or something? Or are they simple random sketches right now?

story. working on a different girl now, hopefully more appealing.

lol, what is that black thingy in the left? PC?

seriously now...

Airbrushing and Anime don't mix well. Also if you are gonna airbrush use another layer in Photoshop or select "darken" under brush options. Doing this will allow your pencil lines to stand out more and not look like an off grey. And also, you should adjust the brightness and contrast in a pic every time after you scan it to get the best out of your lines.

You original line work was pretty good. You have some issues with the perspective on little things like the chair and the monitor. If your gonna stay with Anime start Inking your pictures.

also here is a quick beginner guide to cel-shading i just grabbed from google

http://www.blackrevolver.com/tutorial.html

There's a lot more and better guides but this is simple and straight to the point. Also if you don't have it yet, get photoshop, almost impossible to survive as a digital artist without it.

OP here, Thanks. The tutorial really helps.

And you are one of the few constructive criticism around here. I thought I'll got flame to death like >>5664 try to say.

I tried the tutorial from the previous post, and here's what I got.

This is the original image. I draw this for purely coloring purpose.

...And this is what I got.

How was it?

>>5692
Fairly similar. The skin tone is really red and really pale, the coloring has "holes" in it that produce white pixels where there shouldn't be, and there's not much contrast in the coloring. Shadow placement is also inconsistent.

Start by making sure that there's no blank spots in your coloring when you hide your lines. Also, make your lines cleaner

Thanks. I will try to make my line more clean next time.

>>and there's not much contrast in the coloring. Shadow placement is also inconsistent.

Can you point that out to me? I'm kinda stupid when it comes to this kind of things.

Honestly in terms of shadow depth you may just want to examine your monitor. You could have it on a dark setting or in a bad place.

As for shading..... just observe stuff lying around. Where the light is, stuff is light. Where the light isn't, stuff is shadowy. Is simple, no?

Good luck, you have nice drawings.

a quick piece using OpenCanvas.

I meant with the tumor his whole abnominal region, muscles and fat doesn't mix...

>>5907

You don't need to make the poses more dramatic. In fact, you could make them less. What you gotta do is make the poses more blended with the situation. And a bit less lined up.

I think it would help if you sketched out the scene first and then applied them to it.

And I still think you should start over. You might discover it won't take so long to do this. Besides, you could go for a more sketchy approach with brushy lines rather than inked.

I think I'm gonna do a quick doodle for suggestion of scene. No promises there tho'.

Also the big guy... Please make an anatomy study for his sake. His torso/belly gives a very "i have no fucking idea how to do this"-impression

I will study some anatomy and observe how fat and muscles work. I have never drawn fat people before, so this was indeed troubling. I guess I'll just reference some buddhas, since that was the effect I was going for.

I concur, I think it would indeed help if I sketched out the scene first and then applied the characters.

I think I will start over, and just cut this picture up individually as each character's introduction picture or something.

However, I was trying for an inked feel since I wish to eventually color it. Most of my repertoire ARE with brushy lines and a sketchy feel. This picture was actually an attempt out of my comfort zone.

Thank you kindly for your critiques. Much appreciated.

Well it turned out more than just a simple sketch I guess. Anyway I think you should go more in this direction, even if you might wanna promote full view of every character. Don't just line them up like that.

>> 5914

I bow down to you. This seriously just blew me away. Thank you for taking the time to do this example for me. I will work toward this direction.

>>5915
My friend you're very welcome.

Mind if I put it on my deviantart?

I do not mind.

But I am confused why you are asking for my permission/approval. That picture was created by you; I really have no say in what you do with it.

And I'd like to note that you gave the picture- which I intended to have an "Asian" feel- a "Roman/Gladiator" feel. That in itself is mind-opening to me.

Continued. lol, I might end up finishing this shit.

>>5927 ...AMAZING!!!

>>5907

I loled...lol...I agree on your opinion...I too do not have a deviantart account....Just like you said....mental-masturbation and ego-climaxing....is a very nice and dramatic grammar to describe deviant art.....

About comment on your art....It is about the same as he said...Nothing to add...Your first does indeed look dull...Anything from the same angle is a big no-no unless you know a trick or two up your sleeves....

I'm not an artist, so maybe I can't tell you what's rrong with it, but it looks awesome from what I see of it.

>>5919
yeah. lots of them

1.)forward canards are small and align in the wrong angle
2.the cockpit's nose is too short and not rounded like the nose of the Su-34
3.)tail rudders are too close and too long
4.)air intakes are not aligned well against the afterburners
5.)right wing is too long compared to the left
6.)afterburners are very small
7.)the falken looks like it has a long tail from this viewpoint perspective, which in reality has just a pair of air breaks, the aircrafts engine is supposed to be longer than the tail

overall, the poor perspective of the drawing ruins the anatomy of the airplane, try practicing perspective and volume, study the object your about to draw from all angles

Thanks for pointing these problems out, when I first started this drawing I did not have good views of the plane to work with, just the ac5 wallpaper, and my ps2 is at home so i couldnt rotate the plane in game. As I said, some things I automatically found wrong, but I appreciate you finding more than what I thought. Points 2,3, and 7.

>>5923
yes, you can rotate the FALKEN in the game, there is an option in the hangar menu that allows you to view it 360 degrees around, or if your still having a hard time drawing it, find a scaled down model of it in a toy store or buy it, and sketch all sides of it, top, left side, right side, rear , and front, and then play around with the sketches for a perspective you want

we have seen it on DA...

the finished version o.o

>>5899
Problems: Eyes, Right hand, hips, legs, left knee.
Merits: Good lines, vibrant colors, good overall thumbnail feel.

>>5900
Problems: Right shoulder, awkward left hand.

Merits: Good coloring.

Sche, keep doing your thing. Love the colors, but the anatomical struggles you'll have to overcome yourself.

Thanks for pointing those out xD
Now that you mention it, those parts do look off -.-

I'm looking for a good tutorial on anatomy right now, actually. xD

>>5900
Fire in the hole!
Seriously you gotta do something about your anatomical quirks. You got nice stuff, but it's kind of dragged into the mud by some issues. It could be much better

And stop it with the limb/hand-hiding for pete's sake!
You think of a scene, exactly what you want. Then you don't reduce it to some compromise with your weaknesses; you wrestle it until you win and you become stronger.

>>5910
The new sultry summer at the bottom right corner is relevant to my interests

>>5911
lol, I know rite?

>>5761

here some points you should remember:
1.study anatomy, perspective, depth, and almost anything that has to do with modern art
2.relax your arms and hands, its the one thing that's gonna give you a hard time to draw, learn to control you grip on the pencil, pen, WACOM pen, or whatever tools of art your using
3.get some critics from other artist you know or meet, they can help you learn even more better for they will teach you some pros and cons on artworks
4.bad critics, you can't get rid of them, just don't let get to you, just do a s you like
5.PRACTICE, never forget that word, talent alone would not do, to get the skills you want, you need to train and work hard for it

Thanks so much for the tips and critique.

Can you guys help me w/ this drawing next?

...

>>5761
This is a nice picture. Her open eye should be a little more closed than that, so she looks like she's smiling more.

>>5564

Thanks for dissenting without saging again.

>>5546
Amen to that bro!!!

>>5546
I think the artist is making a statement of his/hers fascination with prepubescent penors

NOW SAGE THIS

Another sage for good measure

SAGE IN ALL FIELDS!

lol look at all the baw fags in this thread crying tcause they afraid of white men

>>5897
wtf r u talking about

why are we still bumping this

>>5897
What the hell are you on about? We're saging because its some poorly drawn yaoi that's been up for MONTHS.

I'm not even going to pretend I enjoy the subject choice. Over and out.

Good art but just not acceptable for me or normal society.....lol

If the dedication to my feedback in any way should reflect your efforts, all I can say is this:

Keep trying

This is cute enough, and a good start if you want to draw anime. However, try looking at the muscles in the legs. They have more shape than how you drew them. Also, boobies do not come straigt out of your armpits. Both of these are problems I've had before, which is why I was able to notice them.
Anyway, KEEP AT IT! Listen to crit, and study anatomy some, then apply it to your art. I can practically guarentee you'll get better.

Get the curves back in here goddamn!

If by help, you mean help take those off, then I'm here.

You taking requests?

thanks >>5889 !
that helped a lot already
tried to give her some more curves but im afraid they didnt turn out as good as the ones you gave her...
im not sure the hands any better now, took me like 4 tries to get it like that lol
anyone know some nice sites with human refs?

>>5891 only those that are paid ;)

(oh yea horrible animu face is here to stay)

yeah i drew both of them on a sketch pad then drawing slate then coloured it in on photoshop and illustrator

there's nothing wrong with the having a sketchy style and flat colouring system, but it looks more like concept/reference sketch than finished art

both of these arts are by no one in this thread </thread>

that tau bitch drawing was the sketch for a mod. you sir fail at life

let's see if this bitch deletes the entire post out of cretinous shame

wanna see my original sketches???
its shadow sun i got the ifeas from the model. I thought u all would know that lol

If you could spare the time: Could you do the picture asked for in this topic? http://iiichan.net/boards/oekaki/res/896.html

that sketch was on 4chan's /tg/ half a year ago you fucking liar

NO U lol
as i said do u want do see my original drawings???

"its commander ShadowSun XD this is the first stage"

He pretty much said its from 40k at the start.

>>5846
i dont mean to sound like i need to justify my stuff or anyting like that...
quite frankly, anything you say here is much more appreciated than just about anywhere else i hear it...
those morons at school dont know a damn thing
its even worse if youre a writer, because all they ever say is, 'thats great!' but no real advice...i dont mean to sound like i dont appreciate it...
ill do some sketches if i have some time and put them up...but im pressed for time at the moment

in a week or so ill have a water colour to put up...it would be the most free hand kind of thing ive done...its quite large and needs graded though.

>>5849
It's nice to hear you appriciate honest feedback, really gives me hope for you as an artist.
And it's quite ironic, yeah; the teachers at your school care more about being nice than teaching you shit. They're too afraid of disapproval to be useful, whereas we, who don't give a shit can tell you what you need to hear, making us your new best friends.

But again, don't make an effort to bring us finished work in particular, better you squeeze in time for sketching because a sketch is the foundation upon which you build the entire picture; If the sketch is shit, everything is shit.
As I said, sketches gives us more to work with; it tells a more honest story about what you need to improve, and what you need to change.
I don't feel I had so much to say about the original picture ITT, it's like finished and shit. But the one in >>5840 had more to offer.

>>5852
yah, i did spend a whole quarter on this painting...
i did it for an art contest, and i dont mean to put mine on a pedestal or anything, but she didnt even nominate mine...and then when i went to the art gallery that had the contest...they had some real shit
it pissed me off because she only plays favours
i learn more from here to be sure
anywway, ill work on sketching up some faces today

>>5853
Excellent
btw you wouldn't happen to have a deviant or some shit?

>>5854 ok, i did some sketches, im not too happy with any of them...
one thing...you might notice, is that on the full body one, half her necklace is missing
i just barely realized that i did that, because i was erasing her hair and going to do somehting else...
i think i got distracted with that cat

i do have a deviant art... http://sirmakura.deviantart.com/
nothing really good on there in my opinion

ok, i did another one, i spent more time making the eyes not be so crooked though
this one i didnt look at any reference, feet, clothes or anything, i tried to work only from logic and memory

>>5856
I like this one.
A few things:
-Your style is kind of enlongated, try to make your characters a bit more compact, both face and body and see how you like it.
-Your faces are a bit flat, which comes to life especially when you draw them at an angle. You need to adjust the features properly to match.
-You still clean your sketches too much, I wanna see some structure lines, less polish. The idea here isn't to give each little piece its own finish, you wanna make a lot of shit in a condensed period of time and see how you progress and adjust.
-Mix styles on the same sheet, so you can compare, draw conclusions, try new things and adjust things, cross-referentially. That's probably not even a word, but perhaps you get what I mean.
-Try breaking your style apart and build it up from scratch, even if it's just on one paper, for the sake of experimenting. Let us see what happens. In any case you don't need to stick with what you do, but you'll always learn from it.

>>5858
thanks
ill try that
i do know i elongate everything
its a bad habit, hard to break, but im going to try to
thanks :D
ill do it in a more sketchy thing too
