[Art] Yui Takenaka's Works

[Primula]

Okay, this is going to be the last wave of pencil drawings for now. :ohdear:
(Will edit for Album Project Submission thread)


The 'alternate costume' design for ShingyokuM was based on the way a friend drew the hat and someone else's drawing of him.

I know, I still need to work on men.  :qq:

[Teewee]

Nice! I think you've improved a lot! I suggest making shingyoku's female form a bit more feminine, perhaps wider hips and noticeable bust would do nicely. And I think you do men just fine. A little expansion on the torso would be enough to complete the male shingyoku's manliness. That koakuma drawing was great :3

Thank you for the comment! I shall work on that later!

Okay, finished some submissions for the album project thread. The Hatate drawing kinda bugged me because I'm not that good at drawing objects (and the fact that I have never had a cell phone before, what an out of date person I am) and I spent like an hour trying to create a fitting background. D=



I obviously doubt I can finish all of my sketches on computer before the deadline, hehe.

[Primula]

I think I know how to make the Shingyoku orb 'cracks' now. ;P

[Mushyrulez]

No offence, but Daiyousei sorta looks like an upside-down mushroom :V

Maybe add more... texture? I think the only thing wrong with it is its monotone colouring, and your colouring skills are pretty awesome.

Is it in vector?

Anyways those backgrounds @_@

(BTW, your second YT account link is broken)

Maaaybe~ :derp:

Hmmmm, yeah, more textures would work. I'll practice on that. (Thanks.)

EDIT: Derp, I lied. I got vector a bit confused.

( Oh, thank you for pointing that out. It should be working now. :X )

Ah, I doubt I can start and finish my sketches, and I'm not that skilled in Corel Painter since I use GIMP like all the time. :derp:

[Mushyrulez]

Try using raster? :V Vector seems horribly difficult to draw details in...

Derp, I got them both confused.   :blush:

[Primula]

It's been a while, huh? If anybody wondered where I went, I was submitting stuff to the Album Project thread. :derp:
These are the two submissions that I didn't post here in this thread.  :3



And here's some Wolfie Selkie made on oekaki so I didn't put that much effort into it. Yeah, I'm still working on drawing guys, though I sorta lied about drawing them more often. D:

^How I felt during this week, cause of semester exams.  :X

[Infy♫]

your heads still seem a little long to me
also, decreasing nose size could also help
and broader bodies!

I'll work on that, thank you!

And umm.... Merry Christmas everyone~ The reindeer idea just had to be done.
I know some things are off in the picture because I wanted to get the picture finished ASAP.

[Primula]

Howdy guys, I'm back after a 3 week artblock.


ShingyOkuu Reiuzi. Yes, it was needed to be done. - -/

Took technically 5 days to complete it though. I was too lazy on doing the lineart during the Winter break but since the deadline for a contest is near, I started to work on this entry again. Though I want to do Kurumi, I had to do another request for my big sis.

And here's some other junk. :3

Drew this the week before Winter vacation during 'speech' class.


Finished the sketch during the three day weekend. I know, I need to make her legs longer. :derp:


And I also finished this sketch the same day I did Yuka. This is supposed to be CtC Reimu doing that butterfly spellcard.

Derp, forgot to scan another 'still life' sketch I drew, but I'll do that later.

[Aoshi-shi]

Yuuuii~ welcome back~

About the ShingyOkuu. Maybe it's just me, but it looks like her torso + legs are facing one way, and the rest of her body is facing the other way.  :/
But I'm loving that Yuka.

Hmm...I think so. My attempt of doing perspective on ShingyOkuu ended up looking awkward. ^^;

[Primula]

I keep forgetting on scanning this. Did this in my free time after I finished my history test on December. :ohdead:



Okay, I should go brush my teeth now and prepare for school tomorrow. :3

[Primula]

Arms are too long. oAo



Hope everyone had a good Valentine's day! ;P

[Aoshi-shi]

Very cute. I like the coloring!

[Primula]

Very cute. I like the coloring!

Thank you~

Have some Merlin guys, and I may do a digital version cause I'm proud of this one. :>



That smile.... -3-

And also, this will become my pixiv icon after I go over it.  :V


Oh yeah, I took away my works in progress notes because I got lots of stuff to work on. :V

[Primula]

Recently, I've been showing some interest in playing some CAVE shooters, and out of all of them, I want to play Ketsui. Even though they look hard, they look very fun to play. So I tried to draw A.I from Daifukkatsu from memory for the fun of it. :>



One question:

Spoiler:

Why does a robot girl need pantsu? o_o

And maybe I shall draw Shooty next. :>

[TakuTaku]

One question:

Spoiler:

Why does a robot girl need pantsu? o_o

To uhm... absorb the oil leaks?

[Primula]

Originally, I was going to draw Ketsuireimu from Incredible Daily Tale (a Danmakufu script) but the proportions were way off so I drew a normal Reimu instead. The design is based of Nyagakiya's Reimu player sprite. :V


And maybe have some green tea with cream too? 

[Primula]

Well, I still need to work on my feet(or full bodies  :V), but I kinda liked how she turned out.



Yeah, the face kinda makes her look like a guy, but I'll fix that soon.

[[HJD]Red_Herring]

Try to do some practice by drawing from a picture or an anatomy book. Also, doing some practice on shading and texturing on the side would not hurt, too.

Also, it is certainly good to draw 'real' guys from time to time. It makes you realize the difference in facial features between male and female.

[Primula]

So I was experimenting with different styles of eyes and shading (sorta). (Thank you for the tip Red. I'll work on it. )  Here's a Hirano. (and Gyoku)

Because I volunteered for a project, I won't be posting digital art often so bear with me with my traditional drawings. :3

[Infy♫]

YAY! finally some love for seihou~
I must say this one looks better than usual... especially the face.

[Zengar Zombolt]

At least it's not Muse.
FUCK MUSE

GRAZE GRAZE GRA-- SHE KEEPS GRAZIN MAH BULLETS BACK.  :colonveeplusalpha:

So how do I make improvements so fast?  :wat:

[[HJD]Red_Herring]

If there was an actual way of improving drawing skills fast, I would not be suffering. Seriously, only way is draw more and more. Sure, having good mentors or referential works can shorten the

wait, but it still boils down to constant commitment. I have been drawing for about 4 years now, and I think I am not making much of progress. So, take your time and sit back. After all, it's a hobby.

Don't rush, or you will lose motivation and drive, just like I am now.

..I see. I'll keep note of that.

Maho Takanashi from TWilight refrAIN. This is technically an old one since I did the face a few months before I added on to it.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25428208/Sketches/shizuka.png
Shizuka Tsugomori from the same game as above. Obviously the character I referenced my display name after. The things on the hair are tricky because I couldn't see them very well in the original artwork.

Wherever did you put?
 [attach=1]
What are you seeing?

Spoiler:

I still need to get to Level 3-4 on the Segment 8 boss. That last Fatal Attraction keeps getting me lately. I must be losing my touch because I started off as getting to level 3-4 on practice and now I keep getting the 'Glitched Kareidoscope'. D:

Luize from Mystic Square.

Spoiler:

Mistakes already known.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25428208/Sketches/Singyouku.png
And a Shingyoku I did last Monday. About 95% of it was done in one period (45 minutes?).

About some of the old drawings I did before Reimu, I'll plan to use them to practice with different methods of coloring besides cel-shading.

And yeah, started to use dropbox since I feel a little unsure about yfrog.

UPDATE: Ack, I should've known better on knowing where to put the image files. Fixed.  :colonveeplusalpha:

[gammaraptor]

Very nice work! Hmm... I shoud upload my works too ^^ Keep it up!
