made this yesterday

drew this low effort comic

Current wip.....

An abstract mass warped beyond all recognition and animated by magic, this creature, or thing, has come to be known as a “vessel”. Do they think? Can they feel anything? Are they even alive? No one knows. But the magic spells they can cast indiscriminately can range from mostly harmless to devastating. Some have made trees grow faster. Some have set brush on fire. Some have flattened everything around them in a fifty foot radius into pulp and dust with a frighteningly powerful spell that dramatically increases the force of gravity itself. There no fighting a vessel, so if you see one - RUN!

>>7579179 (OP)
oh hey that's me

>>7595533
your foreshortening of the near arm is fucked, it's shorter than it would be at that angle
>>7595043
very cute
>>7595040
unless you were intentionally going for the balloon silicone tits, dont make them balls
>>7590808
cosy, but it feels like you could do with more hue variation towards warmer greens. that time of day is usually not that cold in temperature i think
>>7586371
king shit

>>7586371
Are you gonna change the lighting so her and her clothes feels like they're in the environment?

>>7597497
Probably right.
Basically i wanted to try to practice colors
So i mostly ignored a lot of shit.
Occasionally Doing something with mostly eyesight measuring will expose any flaws in my perception. When somebody else has a look at it. Or i look back on it. In theory at least. If i cant see it after being told i'll try and find a reference

>>7597497
Yup right about arms.
I forgor that arms spread should be about full height from fingertip to fingertip

>>7597494
not pushing it any further today, i'll do some other ethnicity tomorrow

>>7597497
thanks for the crit, anon!

I'm not happy with how this turned out. It's killing me.

Any tips of how to improve this? Or what to keep in mind if I decide to start from scratch?

Ignore the fucked up tentacle near Squidward's head... Just noticed that

>>7598636
Oh I'll focus on Squidward if I want to mister, you can't tell me how I want to run my critique specially when Squidward fails to live to his lanky irl physique this is way too junkier and chunkier.

>>7598645
Leave my fat fuck Squidward alone!!!

>>7598636
your rendering skills are fine but your contrast is shit. the squid's head at one point almost blends into the background. go bolder. hit up the lasso and curve tools

>>7598683
I swear I'm normally better at contrast. I'm just not used to trying to draw something "realistic" and it made me pussy out.

You're 100% right though. Everything needs to be significantly bolder.

I should also probably redraw Squidward, he's lacking. He's always been the hardest Spongebob character for me to draw. Weird ass head

>shade to bounds
>lines escape outside the surface
>try to avoid this
>lines don't reach the surface border
how do you avoid this? lots of practice?

>>7598706
Be messy and not care. Then paint over all your mistakes on the top layer

>>7598712
I'm using pencil and paper, I can't not care

Damn, she needs to put a leash on them doggies

Started out as a landscape. Ended up being some church horror theme with what looks to be a pastor controlling the minds of people. Crazy.

the buzz is wearing off so i'll stop here

>>7602115
you might need more value contrast. sure the pastor is in focus, but the rest of the image fails to read at a glance or when squinting. add firmer edges too. can't wait to see what this'll turn out like

>>7604756
>>7604601
really in tune with the feel of your work. bet it’d be very fun drawing or collabing with you.

Diana Striker, Commission for Holy Dante 14

Still a werk in poggress.
We are doing a dnd campaign so im drawing the characters for funsies.
Need to fix das boot. And do some more werk on it

Started out drawing a rectangle, cube, desk, but then it turned into an elevator.

Maybe I can animate this.

>>7606321
Cool shit.

>>7606472
I think im done. lets see how it looks uploaded just to make sure it dont get fucked up

first try with colors. any opinions?

Fully colored.

once the main shapes are down, my shading is awful. pls any tips to improve.

>>7579179 (OP)
Do you guys have tips for better shading? i kinda just blur it.

>>7608668
Dont blur shading as much as you are bluring it.


With no secondery lightsources there is a very sharp transition into shadow and the shadow (no secondary light like reflected light) is 100% pitch black. Like a solitary asteroid in space, if it aint facing the sun its 100% black.

. And midtones belong where the light faces ALMOST completely away from the light (key word being almost, it is still facing it)

In other words, a thin(veeery thin) blurr where shadow transitions to midtones is ok on round objects , and a lil thin blur from midtones to brightly lit parts is also ok on a roundish surface but completely just bluring shadows should be avoided.
You can always simplyfyit

hard round on the edges

>>7609063
This is rad

Ive been trying a new line art style recently, but it looks too flat for my liking. this isn't my proudest piece, but it has potential, so I want to fix it. how do I do that?

>>7606527
I like how you rendered the metal, looks nice

Worked on and off with this. I think I've matured as an artist, because I now abandon sketches. I used to believe finishing artwork was possible. It's not.

sketching is like an mmorpg. You pick up where left.

I'll probably work some more on this next year.

I’ve been neglecting redrawing this… thank you for the reminder op

Any big problems with it?

>>7614727
needs harder edges on the neck and chest, the fabric looks like it's merging with her skin

is this anything? I feel like my monitor calibration is all fucked.
will probably add more tattoos

>>7609063
delicious, would follow on ig

>>7615143
It's perfect. From a phone, looks really good.

>>7607809
love light pink and blue as a color combo, it goes so well with blonde hair too.

are you using the standard Ink-3 Gpen for your linework?

Current , Wip .
Im trying to translate cyberpunk character marie from peripetiea (slavjank imersive simm) into fantasyish setting. I will see if i can pull it off, got to catch some time this weekend, got work, got guests tonite, got to make a shortish dnd campaign this weekend . It will be a crawl uphill, will post again when i tink im done.

what are common prices for a Commission? with lineart,color and background? I got some that appear to be just to high....or Im just a poor fuck that thinks 300$ and more are fucking insane amount of money?

>>7588823
wet!

>>7615829
Charge how long it takes you to finish it. Look at your actual jobs hourly wage then charge that amount. Don't do it for LESS then your actual job. Don't have a job? Look how much you get payed for washing dishes at mc McDonalds then charge that.

If you start getting more work then you can crank out, you can either A: be more selective about what you draw from the pool of offers or B: charge more.

If you are already getting offered more then an hourly wage then take it. You are not going to figure out the ~PERFECT~ price point on your first commission. When you are done, ask yourself "was this worth it?" then go from there.

First time rendering armor, how'd I do?

お休みなさい、バカども

Portrait.

Working on a scene. Tried to bring the feeling of momentum to the movement in it via the light-trail left by the sword and blood splatters.

Most of the remaining work in it that I have to do is coloring and adding further detail & texture to the background elements as well as refining & adjusting the lighting. Generally I am quite pleased with the composition of the scene itself.

I started this last week. The development was slow. It's my own fault for this.

Over the entire length of years spent drawing. I have also destroyed every single drawing and painting that was created.

This has set me back. I should have kept every painting for the purpose of developing them more. Ultimately they could be used for assets in future projects.

>>7617832
I already took notes on how to improve painting characters like this next time, but if anyone has any critique or any thoughts about this particular painting, I'd be happy to hear you out

Rendrering is fun and satisfying so why not take it to the limit?
Also apartments are generally too small to fit an 8 foot canvas :/

really cool, do you have more like this?>>7616208
so cute, looks like an enemy in a snes game, saved. i like the rendering too.

>>7633300
Im the one drawing a Magik

She'll be coming out of a portal so i wanted to give kind of a wild wind feel to the hair. Like two air pressures fighting.
Do you have any recommendations to achieve that kind of a look?

>>7633691
The hair looks too uniform as of now in terms of the direction it’s moving. Like the hair strands on the right are all moving upwards then down. Make the hair more inconsistent and random if you really want it to look like wind Is hitting it, and establish where the wind is coming from in the drawing similar to a light source

5 min color sketches

>>7633882
It would be the same as the primary light source from the portal. But when magik is using a portal shes stepping into limbo and then out again. I imagined limbo would have hotter air pressure to normal life since its like hell and so the air would rush out the portal into the lower cooler pressure. But i also thought the momentum of moving forward would still push her hair back.

>>7634129
Turbulence is still a thing.

how do i get my line art to be less shit? i know some people go over it with "local colors" so it blends more, but surely there's more to it than that

First time trying (and completing) to do a reference painting. Used paint's brush and airbrush tool since I wanted to get the basics down first before the fancy stuff (probably a retarded idea). Critique as harsh as you want, I know it's shit but I'm excited to improve. Took me around 3 hours.

There are too many great artists in here to quote, I'm amazed by all of you

>>7628054
But especially you pineappleman

I'm worried that my newfound confidence is making me self-absorbed and obnoxious?

Thanks man, I'm kazwfiev on X/Insta

Mostly Otomo, bit of R. Crumb (on a more philosophical than aesthetic level) but it seems like the Moebius influence is coming out lately

>>7634411
I can see the Otomo shapes in the faces now that you mention it. Thanks for the reply! I'm more of a weeb artist but i'm also a fan of western comics like Herge so i'm really drawn to styles like this.

>>7634530
Oh yeah Tintin indeed the synthesis of east and west I find interesting to explore

>>7634138
Something like this?

>>7635363
You're trying too hard. Just draw nothing but box rotations and stacked boxes, sometimes with curves. Think about how to use JUST lines to show that stuff.

But what do I know, I'm ass too.

Somehow they look like the same style.

>>7637086
I tried this tonight and the results were pretty bad. I'm not sure I did that kind of study properly.

>>7637133
Can I see? Is there anyone who does lineart, like a manga artist or something you like? Try and make a copy of one of their drawings.

>>7637134
I don't have a favorite artist so I just picked one at almost random. Everything about the copy ended up wrong.

>>7638092
Because you keep avoiding the elephant in the room, you do not want to find god, you believe in nothing, it is not autism, it is you avoiding your problems.

Yo I had that Gahlok and a Tahnok when I was younger. These're great to see.

yes, i am allergic to further steps (drawn yesterday, touched up today)

(i am planning to draw a comic/manga/doujin for myself so i dont consider colour and shading a necessity as of now, i just was focusing on other things of my art)

Not my drawing but my friend drew this. How bad is this? Where could you recommend he improve?

5head

Been always struggling with my shading style, just worried that my anatomy and faces read as cartoony then my render process reads as semi-real
does it look uncanny at all?

doodled this while listening to Nu Genea's new song on repeat

>>7637236
>>7644266
Hmmm What I think is unique to me and my process is that I'm very patient and I don't get discouraged when working on a painting so no matter how long I think it will take, or what I need to learn to get it done, I just do it and don't get hung up on it and I also don't get hung up on what other things I could be doing instead. If a new idea pops in my head that I would rather work on, I just put that excitement toward finishing what I'm working on right now so that I can move on to that other idea later.
I think I developed good painting habits at a young age and have kept it up since then so I genuinely want to paint even when I don't want to and I like seeing the small progresses I make each day, no matter how insignificant. I focus on that rather than the bigger picture which I know will be formed in due time.
Think of it like working out, just enjoy the process of doing pushups and look forward to that feeling afterwards like you've gotten something done. Even if your arms look exactly the same tomorrow as they do today, if you keep it up, in a few months you'll notice progress. But focus on building the habit of enjoying those daily wins, those are what keep you going.

>>7647693
I should say, just to reiterate my point more concisely: it all comes down to your mentality and your habits. Good habits generate good progress no matter how/what you draw/paint.

Also I genuinely think you learn a lot more when you force yourself to finish a drawing/painting so you cover all your bases ie: sketching, refining, composition, rendering etc.

The face seems too wide or the face doesnt follow the direction if the rest of the skull. Not sure which one. If i cover the face it looks fine more or less, but if i cover the back of the head it looks unfitting

Ok but still there's a problem with the values you're using across the piece. I tried to greater separate the sky and the earth because their respective values are muddying together in a way that's neutering the feeling I think you're going for. I might have gone too far with my changes but the sky and trees and such definitely need some more separation.
Also you have the shadow of the tunnel overpowering the reflection in the water, it should be the other way around with the reflection on the water effectively deleting that shadow line.

It's indeed not just the head that's off but it is one of the biggest offenders, so I said 'for example' for a reason. I agree that the face itself is not correctly proportioned either on the head, and there are proportional issues in the body as well, same for the hands. So my general sweeping advice was 'work on your proportions'.

I'm a permabeg
And there's lots of flaws here but where do I start to improve

>>7650306
That's fair. Honestly I think I just have too much saturation in a lot of places.

How do you know what lines to use?

>>7651476
Is this referenced or off the dome? It looks wonderful

wassup

WIP

it's coming along

>>7647693
Do you shoot your own references? I cant imagine how do you learn to paint out he cloth like that without shooing it or copying it from something

>>7652179
I almost never use direct reference. It feels like cheating. Like what happens when the apocalypse rolls around and you have no access to good reference? In the apocalypse there is no internet or cameras. u must prepare.

For cloth, it was drawn out and the folds were painted, then I drew over a rough grid and then used that grid as a guide to place and warp checkerboard patterns I'd pre painted. Making sure to keep each part on its own layer so everything can be adjusted/color corrected etc.

When the idea to give her dress a tartan pattern popped into my head. I knew it would take months lol it really wasn't fun.

>Like what happens when the apocalypse rolls around and you have no access to good reference?
Well for starters, you wouldn't be drawing in digital anymore.

I started with a gatsu reference and ended up with a chick

Oh well, I think it's one of my best results as a permabeg....

Critiques and suggestions are welcome.

Always ready to improve.

Currently working on my copying technique. No matter how much I try, my version looks more like Rei Ayanami than Talim's face. Guess I'll have to try more. Open to advice.

Also, regarding my reference, do anyone know if this kind of style, often found in video games artworks, have a name? By merely looking at it, it looks like really easy to copy : not overly detailed, simple forms, lot of symmetry and it looks like it was first draw by hand, then vectorized. Yet once you get to copy it, it's a bit harder than expected.

Life finds a way...

>>7652531
That's literally exactly what you're supposed to be doing and you're already doing it well, see Kim Jung Gi's lessons. Be careful around these parts if you didn't know already...

>>7652535

I'm sorry if I presumed to know more than you

>>7652497
Try the following.
Dont know if it is going to help but.

Try and start with a box to figure out the direction of the face.
Extend the jaw downwards.(could also start as a box or go for straight for the jaw if confident) And try drawing the step by step. Place eyes. Place mouth place nose refine from there to the best of your abilityes. Dont expect miracles

Loomis fun with a pencil might help.. it is a 100+ pages but mostly pictures you can chew through (while following the instructions)it in about 2-6 hours depends on your read speed, comprehension , distractions, and focus

Learn 1 fundie and you are nolonger a prebeg


It seems like the back of your head was a 3 /4 view but the face was a forward view with you just shifting the features to his right..

If anyone disagrees please help this beg.

>>7651852
almost done

>>7652911
Didn't even come to my mind, I'm a beginner so no worries
>>7652908
Thank you for directing me to Kim Jung GI, never heard of him before. But I didn't get your warning, what parts should I be careful about ?

>>7653243
Just anybody who wants to stop you from being you out of jealousy, AKA "Crabs". I listened to those faceless idiots and wasted quite a bit of time. I think I came out strong despite it though. Just the idea imo is learning patterns of visual data like a language instead of "construction", you seem to have a knack for it.

>>7653251
Thanks for the reminder. I postponed drawing for like 15 years just because of peer pressure and crabing myself so I get what you mean. Recently lost my job and I guess the thing that was growing on me for so long needed to express itself. Hope I'll come out stronger too.

>>7653732
You certainly will. And as for crabs, you will know them by their (lack of) works...

I think crabs also crab because of insecurity and fear of failure. If drawing is impossible, and no one can draw, then they can't be blamed for failing, but if someone proves it's not, then they have only themselves to blame, and that hurts.

And sometimes it's just gatekeeping bullshit. Throughout my teens and twenties I gave up trying any creative hobbies at all because "real" creatives I knew through school and work told me I could never be good enough at them for it to matter. Maybe they were right, or perhaps not, but when I chose not to try it made them right for sure.

I think one of the most important lessons I've learned artistically is to do it as though the whole world is watching, no matter how small the audience appears to be. Early performances by TOOL are demonstrative of this concept.

Those people were full of shit, man. But this general is clearly a refuge for the weary talented of this board.

I should try to source that book, if you have be any link it'll be useful.

I started with Loomis and got to hate it with all myself, but maybe revisiting may the right path to go.

>>7653798
Just google
>"insert book name"
(For example: Loomis fun with a pencil)

Followed by
>pdf archive
Or
> internet archive
or
>something like that

and you should find it

Same method for any other text on art
