I'll just post this here then, an art request by this musician I know that mixed Zelda's Dragon Roost Island theme and Mystia Lorelei's stage theme. Was told to mix Mystia and Medli together and...yeah
(http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/2736/mystiazeldaprogress2.th.png) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/7/mystiazeldaprogress2.png/)
no idea why people like it tho, maybe they're zelda fans
(I don't even know much about medli other than her having a bill/beak)

I was feeling rather bored and created this strange lineup of abominations called Thoukai.
You'll notice it's a very rough and messy picture.

I guess it's because I'm not used to drawing Koishi, but I'm having a bit of a hard time with this one.
Then again, I'm my worst critic. :V

My only criticism is that the face on the umbrella always lines up perfectly despite there being folds. There should be definite "breaks" where it folds with a noticeable size difference (hard to explain).
EDIT: I figured it out. The fold lines go through the face when they shouldn't.
Other than that very nice.

I was quite happy when I found out about Kasen's powers, even happier when a dragon finally made an appearance in the Touhou universe so I kinda drew this to commemorate the event :V

I actually used Noel's hair as base. It comes from a kind of an inside joke thing that comes from a Blazblue/Touhou RP I do with a friend over MSN. That RP came out from a discussion over a crossover doujin that I was planning to do several months ago but never got around to doing. :V

I got bored this morning and i remembered that i have some decent pater, so thought to myself " Heck, i should try to draw something" and draw something i did. However this is my first time drawing so it is shit. But, in the end, i was quite pleased with what i drew ( since it was my first time after all) except for one thing, the eyes. Why does eyes have to be so hard to draw?
Anyways, have a Keine.
[attach=1]
-
Hehe, quite a funny picture. (not mocking style or anything, BTW)
Eyes aren't too hard IMO. For realism, they are almond-shaped. However this may depend on your style, and doesn't seem to apply very well for cartoon or manga styles.
Hands, on the other hand....

Currently too heavily referenced the original material, will tone it down to match my style later. The story's about a fairy who's forced by this human loan shark to pay her father's debt thru the means of opening an oddity shop. Will she be forced to live in a box by the end of the day, or will hell freezes over and the mountaineous debt settled? Stay tuned. :P

I would definitely be able to buy Arah Timur this year round. Hopefully.

From my dA comment : "I imagine that Ran and Mamizou used to be rivals back when they were much younger youkai, a troublemaking troll and a serious, power-seeking youkai.
In the nigh-inevitable reunion, Mamizou would be mocking Ran for turning into a mere shikigami, while Ran would seethe in silent annoyance.
And in some faraway doujin, Mamizou would try to steal Chen's affections from Ran. :UU"
But man, this picture looked surprisingly better when it wasn't colored.

Hullo, fellow fairies, been a while. I don't remember what I posted last, so I'll just take the latest few.
Also, I'm building a figurine! There will likely never be an "official" model of Parsee, so I'll just have to do it myself. I'm building it with super sculpey and some wire, and I think it's turning out kinda nice. More notes about the creation on my devart(link in profile).
I'll post again when it's painted and finished, a few more things to build yet.

Not bad at all, but poor scan quality and lined paper interfere with your drawing there, which seems to have thin, almost wispy lines to begin with (namely Miko's hair). It's great for a starting point, but I'd like to see a better example before I could offer some critique.

So here's Paper's attempt at serious fan art... for the first time ever. (http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwcxsv0ORA1r4w71ko1_500.png)
So I got markers, a pen, and a reference picture.
I then proceeded to randomly draw with a pen and artistically color the shit out of it, just like all those fancy digital artists do.
My first attempt at serious fan-art. It?s supposed to be a direct copy of ZUN?s art.
I think it came out wonderful(ly terrible) for a first attempt.
Shhhh shhhh shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
I know I messed up with the coloring and her anatomy, you don't have to tell me that.~
I still think it looks pretty. @u@

Her right arm is longer because its closer to the viewer I think...although, her hand could maybe be little bit bigger to insinuate that :3
(Although, honestly, it looks just fine as it is.)
Oh and thank you so much :blush:

I get what you mean. If her arm was meant to be foreshortened towards the viewer, then I think it should be a little shorter as well as her hand being a tad bigger.
-
In that perspective I don't think that would be the case but then again I think I might be wrong....
Other than that Narzin looks cute! Same with your drawing Gray! It made me laugh a bit.

The faces are a bit off-putting....
Also, clothing could use some more texture.
Quick questions - what format are the models in, and which program are you using? Oh, and is there skeleton / IK joint rigging as well...?
-
The faces are a bit off-putting....
I know, I just cant quite fix them, I can try to fix them in ZBrush if I could find out what to change to make them look better.
Also, clothing could use some more texture.
I'm terrible at texturing because I'm just terrible at painting in photoshop. I've been trying to find texturing tutorials but all I find is just the simplest of stuff, not techniques to make it look good. Maybe I should look at techniques in 2d painting.
Quick questions - what format are the models in, and which program are you using? Oh, and is there skeleton / IK joint rigging as well...?
Im using ZBrush first, then I lower the polycount with Topogun and work with the rest in Maya. As for skeleton/IK joints, Maya has them but I'm still don't know how to use them well. I still haven't started my rigging class.
Thanks for the feedback, I'm gonna try to improve in those areas. Gonna see if I can make the heads look better
EDIT: How's this? (http://i39.tinypic.com/2vng93b.jpg) I was trying to make her look like this drawing (http://i41.tinypic.com/2wlzek9.jpg) I made a some time ago rather than using no reference, but I think I might need to work on it some more.

I'm terrible at texturing because I'm just terrible at painting in photoshop. I've been trying to find texturing tutorials but all I find is just the simplest of stuff, not techniques to make it look good. Maybe I should look at techniques in 2d painting.
Well, I think adding light noise to the textures and then smoothening them would be a good idea.
Im using ZBrush first, then I lower the polycount with Topogun and work with the rest in Maya. As for skeleton/IK joints, Maya has them but I'm still don't know how to use them well. I still haven't started my rigging class.
Ah, nice.
EDIT: How's this? (http://i39.tinypic.com/2vng93b.jpg) I was trying to make her look like this drawing (http://i41.tinypic.com/2wlzek9.jpg) I made a some time ago rather than using no reference, but I think I might need to work on it some more. I just want to know if you guys think it's better or at least not 'off-putting'
That makes more sense, but going by the models vs. the reference image, I'd say that style clashing between the faces and the rest of the model is more the issue.

Well, I'll probably end up drawing a lot of Touhou characters, so that's... A lot of trolls. Just look at those Touhou+Homestuck posts Littleshrimp made. So many trolls.

I'm probably not the best source of criticism but oh well:
The Utsuho is really great! I love the hand for whatever reason!
The Cirno one is good, though you might want to add a few lines to her wings? They seem a little spatially ambiguous, and for a while I thought the other side of her wings was missing.
Nazrin is good too. Her mouth seems a little much to the right, which makes it seem like her mouth protrudes a bit from her face. Given, she's a mouse, so that might have been what you were aiming for, but I'm just putting that out there in case.

Don't you fret about that! It's been covered.

What do you guys think?
I've seen lots of pictures by you around here. I'd say it's pretty good.
Your style seems pretty well developed, and you seem very comfortable with it. Enough so that it's beyond minor technical things like proportions and what not.
I suggest trying to draw something that leaves the viewer with some kind of 'feeling', or something memorable.
Not saying that I'm like an expert or anything(since I have a lot to polish up on). Just saying that you seem 'good' enough to take 'a few more steps forward' now.
For example, adding a silhouette of a dragon behind her with 2012 somewhere in there would likely leave the viewer with the 'Oh, it's a happy new year of the dragon' kind of feeling (This would also better portray the reason why you drew this to begin with: because it's the year of the dragon). That, to me, would be a lot more memorable than just a pencil sketch of a character. This would also be more effective especially if the viewer isn't a fan of the particular character that you drew, in this case Meiling(whom I am not necessarily a fan of). [The good/bad thing about fan art is that 1) It's easier to portray the character of the character since it's already been established outside, 2) but because of this, the viewer already has pre-conceived prejudices(good or bad) of that character. As an example of this, I might like a picture you draw of Alice more than this, even if it might be the same/slightly worse. Which is why the impression you create in the drawing is as important as the character you draw. As another example, consider the differences between a moe Remillia and a charismatic Remillia picture. ... Hmm, did I get a bit side-tracked here? Oh well]
I'm not sure if all of what I said is entirely accurate since I don't really pay too much conscious attention to these things myself (since I'm working on my style first). Not to mention that I'm very inexperienced in this sort of this, so sorry if I'm wrong, or if I offended you in any way.
-
Thanks!
To be honest, I didn't really draw her so much for the current year, but just for the fact that I simply wanted to. Meiling is one of my favorite characters. I attempted to draw her months ago, but it came out so horribly that I gave up. This time I pushed myself to try again with, as you can see, better results.

Critique on this before I line it?
http://i44.tinypic.com/25s0cpc.png
This is meant to be an attempt at a more realistic style but not full-blown realism because I don't think I'm skilled enough for that yet. :V I'm just looking for things on anatomy like the length of the arms or the position of the head or whatever.
Also there's supposed to be a glowing orb of light in her right hand but I forgot it. I'll add it in later.
-
I would reccomend making the braids a look bit less stiff. Other than that you're off to a good start.

Hm, I'm not sure if I qualify for things like this since I'm not that good at realism, but here (http://i43.tinypic.com/21akdwk.png) is a bit of a critique/tips-of-sorts that I did. Just personally, I don't really like blatant lips, so I would just suggest it by shading it. Kind of like the Baccano artist does Chane's (Black haired girl on the right edge) lips (http://www.advancedanime.com/pictures/8884154.jpg).
It really all depends on how much you want far along you want to go along the sliding scale of realism vs stylism. Baccano/Drrr art, as an example, would be around the middle, leaning more on the stylistic/manga side.

It's a base draw,
And look this: http://i.imgur.com/Wk97g.jpg
It's the process of shading at the moment is going at 10% (only skin yet)

Face stands out a bit too much (and detracts from the picture) and it seems too much like a tracing, but the pencil shading's getting there.

Thicken the lines a bit. Remember to add some texture to the materials too.

Too much shading contrast. Increase the luminosity of the darker tone and consider adding an intermediary one to lessen this.
Once in a while, a Futo is fine too. (http://i.imgur.com/IQrWR.png)
Yep, certainly is fine.
Not too sure about her right shoulder and hands, however, but the latter is very forgivable due to their complexity. Also the eyes are a bit distracting, though I'll say that it might be just a stylistic trait.

Cute! Chen's neck is a bit too stretched, however, and Yuyuko has too much white space around her (cue the crop tool).

An actual image program like Pixelmator? :V
Okay, back to serious note - I'm assuming graphics tablet here. I'd recommend Wacom ones for being a common sight in graphics labs and departments, though they are higher-priced. The Bamboo series (http://www.wacom.com/en/Products/Bamboo/BambooTablets.aspx) should be plenty for most things, and all of them even include a copy of Autodesk Sketchbook Express (free from App Store).
android one or ipad?
Uh...I think you're talking about the wrong kind of tablet here. :V
They're usually not iPads, Eee Pads, Kindles, etc., but more like these (http://www.wacom.com/en/Products/Intuos.aspx).
also need to know if you used a capacitive stylus when drawing, i can't seem to draw "clean" enough on my android tablet using my finger
I believe that if you intend to draw on a tablet device, a stylus is just about necessary. Just don't lose it :V

Too much shading contrast. Increase the luminosity of the darker tone and consider adding an intermediary one to lessen this.

I think he means that the shadows are too dark. Try to make the shadows lighter and add a third color shade in between the light and dark colors so it doesn't look like half of her is shrouded in darkness

KrackoCloud, you should totally submit your work to Touhou fanart galleries on DA so that more people can see your work. It is well worth seeing.
-
Thanks! But I think only a few are worth putting into galleries. If someone requests one I'll accept, but otherwise I'm hesitant to put in my own work.

The head looks nice, and so does the soft shading of the hair - but then the body looks really disproportionate to the head. The hands (especially her left hand) looks kind of weird, and I can't tell what they're doing.
The head feels out of place because you drew the face of a ~teen on the body of a ~loli.
Thinking it'll help, I took the liberty to stretch and skew your pic just a little bit to illustrate what I mean by what I said:

Anyways thanks, I really appreciate the critique!

For a school project, we had to make trees, so I tried to make the Saigyou Ayakashi (half dead and wintery, half alive and spring-y)
I wish I could've put butterflies and ghosts/made the background dark and dramatic so it would look more Touhou, but now I have to write stuff about branches of government (pun unfortunately intended) all over it, and I'm going to be graded on how easy it is to read... Byakuren dangit education.

I don't quite like the lack of contrast between the two sides when it's supposed to be more dramatic, either, but I tried my best.

I don't know, I just copied the kanji from her right earphone, assuming it's the same on both sides. One was visible, the other just had a curve.

By reference pic, I bet you mean this (http://img.exolimpo.com/g1/WallpapersKONAzusaNakano_13C9E/kon19.jpg)
I'd say it looks pretty good if you only started 6 months ago.
I'm not sure how you were using your refpic - either as a refpic to draw Azusa or just straight trying to draw the refpic - so I can't really say much.
However, I say that it's a good thing that you're starting with graph paper since you learn positioning, distances, proportions, etc. a lot faster. I remember I had a lot of trouble with one of the eyes always being a bit lopsided or smaller.
The first thing I noticed is that your eyes are different from the refpic. That's good, that you assert your own individuality, but also because you can waste a loo~t of time on anime eyes and trying to get them to look right when you start out. It was especially terrible for me since I started with Clamp.
I can, though, tell that you did refer to your refpic quite a bit. You may have realized that your drawing kind of started getting 'un-parallel' to the refpic as you drew, and it's because you decided to raise the head instead of going for the bowing pose that the refpic was going for. Which is why you raised the left arm (her right) a bit so that it touches with the hair - which you also seem to have adjusted so it touches the index finger. This also tells me that you're tackling drawing straight ahead and you start getting into 'detail' before you finish sketching out the entire image. It's not a bad thing though since it could help, though it might be harder to break out of this habit if you develop one.
But again, I don't really know what you were going for, so I don't really know what to say except: Just keep doing what you're doing, and keep practicing practicing practicing. Also, be pleased with your drawing, but don't be satisfied with it. Drawing takes hand-mind-eye coordination, artistic intuition, and an 'artist's eye' which takes time to develop, so keep at it with mega passion.
-
Wow, thanks for the elaborated answer!
Yeah, I just tried to draw the refpic (http://vunk.deviantart.com/art/Azu-nyan-Vector-174182897), because everything except the face and hair gives me massive problems, especially hands and feet. Damn anatomy. :V
And it's not that I "decided" to raise the head, it's more, that I can't draw it any other way, currently. But in that case it maybe was just more of a habit, because, yeah, I really don't sketch my drawings out or think about them beforehand.
But with my latest two pictures I not only broke the habit of drawing people just in frontal view, I also sketched it a little bit out in the beginning, so we'll see how that changes in the future.
Now I only need some ideas what/who to draw. This is the only thing restricting me from drawing more often.

No! Don't feel bad at all or feel like you HAVE to post in this thread first! Individual threads are better for people who art constantly, but there are plenty of people who make threads of their own to post just one or two pictures and that's it. So if you want to have your own thread, go right ahead, there's no hard and fast rule about it.
On-topic, very nice Byakuren. :)

Dat colouring. You must tell me how you colour them clothes.
On a side note, you'll need to fix the face structure. Neck seems a bit too thin and I believe the shoulders should be slightly wider. Braids also look pretty stiff, and arms look like tubes of flesh, although how you're going to fix that, I don't know.
On a side side note, do you draw the character naked (or at least, a general guide to where all them limbs are)?
-
I'm aware that there are a lot of things wrong with the body structure in most things I draw, I just don't know how to fix most of them. OTL I wish I was better at arms, but they always come out shapeless. When I try to draw them with more shape they look too defined.
I sometimes draw a general guide, but this time I didn't feel like it.

Never fear, your local artist without an artist title is here! Now gimme a bit to point out some things of improvements to help you along your way of becoming an anime master! (which sucks because your better at shading than me D: )
YUYU COMMENTARY WITH PICTURE EDIT WITH HELPFULNESS INCOMMING (LOTS TO READ)
http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll181/shinypachirisu/rin_kaenbyou_by_glimmeryleaf9-d599x3u.png
Ok hers some helpfulness. Theirs actually nothing wrong with her neck in my opinion. (I draw necks like that) but it you wana make it nicer, dont shrink it, make it a little bit wider, and its perfect. The head looks a bit alien like for one reason, her mouth is off. And yah, one little thing like that can throw an entire face off. you see, you know how fave jaws when drawn in anime are like a V, then two lines up, indenting a little, then half a circle for the top of the head? Right where the V stops is where the mouth is saposd to be. Or at least thats what ive noticed recently. Yours is....right at the eyes :V so she totally has an alien like face. I draw some blue lines for a common anime face and did a yellow mouth where it should be, and it looks right to me. Also on the side I gave you two references, one of your style kinda, with the indent more lined up, and one of mine.
Ill even link you some images where the mouth is done this way, and looks accurate, so you can see what I mean
http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&q=anime#/dfjv4z
http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&q=anime#/d4srtji
http://browse.deviantart.com/?order=9&q=anime&offset=24#/d18vd5a
(also note, if the mouth is open, you line up the top of the mouth, not the middle, as seen in image 3)
(on a side side note, the distance between the mouth and the eyes determines the age of a character, which is why chibis have a VERY wide jaw, that lowers the mouth, and they usually lower the eyes two, so their practically toughing, making them look younger.)
I also took the liberty of analyzing your body proportions on your character. (where the circles are is where the knees should be) the arms look a tad long so if your legs on your picture are longer than I think (knees are lower) its fine dont change a thing.
Now with the also comment on the stiff hair, I see it too. your biggest problem here is her dress is all flowy and gorgeous, but her hair keeps a perfect shape. Make it flow with the wind. And DO NOT have them in the same shape if they wind is affecting them.
As with her stick arms, I drew something for that too! :D
arms are kinda like legs in my opinion (what no they arnt! Going straight to the little image I draw cause the one I drew on her arm is a tad off, an arm has this thing called fat. fat is affected by gravity. So when you make their arms out-dent, do it at the bottom of the arm. have it come in at the wrist. Have the part above the elbow a little thicker. (not all slender, thats for lower arm) have the top part of the arms have only slight curves, while the bottom ones are more dramatic. And have the bottom lower arm fat be more towards the elbow, KINDA LIKE A LEG.
Ok, thats my version of help (never done this before) so I hope it helps and I hope you dont kill me for drawing on your picture :V
-
asdfdfgk you have no idea how helpful that was, thank you so much xD
I'm better at drawing faces at a 3/4 angle (like the DM and Miko pictures earlier) so when I draw people facing forward they tend to look like that. But now I know what I'm doing wrong, so thank you!
-
Best thing to do is to study anatomy, that's really the best answer I can give you. Many artists draw that cutsey anime face without even knowing what half the curves are supposed to represent. Complicated poses will also require some basic understanding of how the body works.

I blame the face on the first anime they watched. The first anime I watched and learned off of was Rozen Maiden, so youll see things in my art like thin necks, small small small and more small hands (they have small hands) and more detailed eyes.I also love dresses and have a hard time doing anything else. Some people start off with sailor moon or tokyo mew mew. All just depends.
I have a manga learning book which is like my holy bible (just...its a manga book) thats a guide for proportions, expressions, movement and placement, angles, all that good stuff that an artist needs most. Heck, its even got a page on animal ears and tails and how those work. If you want, I can give you the name of the book so you can buy/order it online. It should be around 20-30 bucks. (for glimmer)

I always thought it was girls can draw girls, and guys can draw guys, because its like drawing your own body shape. You know it best.
I always find it funny when moderate guy anime artists try to draw female chests, or the whole figure infact. They always get it wrong, always.
If you want, I can whip up a few guides to give you help with shapes and stuff an anatomy. Ive done it for friends before.

Good guide to get started on anatomy. Learn the major torso muscles and you should do fine. Proportions too, don't forget proportions.

So anyway, this here is a sort-of-orchestral arrange of Shoujo Satori ～ 3rd Eye in an attempt to make something pretty dark (and kinda disjointed at the start). I like creepy Satori :3. And her theme is pretty evil-sounding anyway; more so than most.

Guides for anatomy would be VERY much appreciated, if you're willing. I suck at drawing humans.
Also, you mentioned a manga-drawing book earlier; what's the name of that?
I do intend to get at least somewhat decent at drawing eventually...
-
I found a review for the exact book I use, and still use to this day. While it doesnt show it as much, the book covers things like action (eating, running, angles for all of them, ext) types of expressions (Dont know if you can get a better guide for this, as it even shows human gestures and positions for different things like anger, that you wouldnt normally catch) proportions (even with a page of them all lined up next to eachother, and more and more) lots and lots of angles (like a picture drawn in 10 different angles) animal aditions guide, a coloring guide (digital and traditional), a comparison of adults to chibis, which is all over the book from the basic body to doing the hands, feet, ect, and surprisingly, the very first few pages of the book are more like a, oh how would you put it,,...draw this guide (they show you step by step on how to draw certain characters, likely to get you used to the feel of proportions before the initial study, and to see if your ready for it or not. I only did like two of them, so you dont have to do them. their only a few pages anyways)
Now personally, Ive seen a lot of how to draw manga books, from library, friends, they all suck compared to this. No I mean really, they all SUCK. their all mostly draw this character draw that character, if not that being the entire book, and what do you learn from that? You dont even realize what your doing.

This book is about, oh, 25 bucks? Shouldn't break the bank compared to some. Now go buy it. Now. It's worth every penny. You will worship it.
(if you want some picture examples from some things from the book, I can do that, But I can't forsay scan the whole thing. Thats a lot of time, and I dont want to get into legal issues. Just go buy it)

In 7th grade we had to do a random sketch every week and I... went pretty hardcore whenever I felt like sketching Touhou characters.
I found the sketchbook and was immediately like, "...I need to redraw these."
*Looking at old art can kill a person, I bet.*
So I did that Draw This Again meme with a drawing of Sakuya.
The Before/After:

I hope you like it. I kind of get lazy when drawing while looking at old art because my mindset is "Anything I draw now can't be THIS bad..."

It really is the best out of my worst, since I did completely rip-off a very pretty Google image I found of her, but after I saw things like how she literally does not have elbows, I wanted to slap, and then proceed to redeem, myself.

Books'n'stuff.
Thank you for sharing that (though $25 seems like a generous estimate from what I've seen...).
Do you have any particular opinion on the first volume in the series? It seems like that one would be pretty useful for me too, since it focuses on actually constructing body parts and stuff, which I could use some work on. Unless you can pick up on that in the second volume - I'm not completely useless, and I could probably look up some other tutorials online if I need to (and save myself another ~$70...).

Welp, finally deciding to try drawing again after a long time of not doing so...
The drawing's rough, like SUPER rough, and I've gotta work on refining drawings as well, but I'm mostly concerned with -anatomy- right now, so critiques on that would be appreciated!
(For why you can't see her legs: she's supposed to be sorta flying forward to throw her punch or something.)

And ah HA! YOU'RE the mysterious amazing artist who drew that picture of Utsuho for me a long time ago! It's so good to have found you again so I can thank you for it by name.

(For why you can't see her legs: she's supposed to be sorta flying forward to throw her punch or something.)
Concerning the legs, the perspective is sort of iffy. You shouldn't have to explain why the legs aren't there, you know? :Y
Not the best drawer out there myself, but hopefully I can give something useful. I'm going to assume that Yuugi is sort of flying in a direction somewhat towards the camera and to the right, and work with that. If that's not what you were intending, this stuff won't mean anything, so uh, yeah :U
Anyway, take a look at Reimu in this picture, for example: http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=886875
I just put in a quick search with the "flying" tag. You can do this and see some other examples.
When the dress covers the feet, a person's body is almost completely horizontal. You can hardly see the torso, and the dress expands into a circle.
In your drawing, however, you'll see that the torso is very visible and the dress hangs down. In other words, Yuugi looks like she's posed mostly upright. The problem is pretty clear - If Yuugi is vertical, then her legs should be in full view!
(Well, we could use the interpretation that her legs are bent, but the way she'd be doing it seems a little unnatural to do while flying into punching. :U )
So if I'm understanding what you were aiming for, then you're gonna want to squish Yuugi vertically a little. But more importantly I think you should expand the dress, make it more circular. You need to give it more volume so that it makes sense, blocking our view of the legs.

Ahh...Alright then, I get it. Thanks for the reply! I'll work on that later today and post here when I get a revised version up.

Hmm, I'm not the best artist, but I'll try my best. As for improvement, try to look at how arms and legs are rounded and kind of, to simplify, are in two parts? You know, your legs have thighs and calves; your arms have the part before the elbow and the part after the elbow. It's hard to explain, but it'll really help you to improve if you put in where an arm/leg would curve in and then curve out again, like at a joint. As it is, Flan looks a little stiff, y'know? I hope I'm conveying this okay. ;;;
Anyway, in honor of 9/9 I whipped this up yesterday!

Just some random incomplete doodling from this morning when I'm bored in class. I'm suck at clothes design, and proportions, and drawing hands, etc. oh well.. :V
(http://i.imgur.com/GFGw3.jpg)
Also, I just got started on taking drawing seriously, so critics would be gladly accepted. Especially on drawing different pose (anatomy).
I'm actually hesitating back and forth for half hour deciding to post this or not. Not actually the confident type. :V

Don't worry about it! You did well deciding to ask for criticism.
Anyway, not the best drawer out here, but here's a bit I noticed.
The arms should be somewhat longer. Elbows typically are at waist-height, and wrists where the legs begin.
Her shoulders look pretty broad and stiff. Remember shoulders are usually a tad lower than where they start at the neck.
----
As for me, Reimu sketch. I recently found that sketches can be quite fun! You can create the whole form of the picture without putting in as much effort :U

@KrackoCloud : thanks for the feedback! True enough, I feel that the hand and arm position is a bit awkward.. so that's why.. thanks for pointing it out. And I got a problem when I'm trying to balance between left and right position (like eyes and face).
Anyway, I've been reading about anatomy for a while, gonna try sketching Alice later (or whatever comes to mind)
EDIT : decided to do reimu, here (http://i.imgur.com/AoYAK.jpg)
RE-EDIT : just noticed the typo
-
@Indecisive Scientist- Anatomy wise, Reimu needs hips! (That don't lie!)
I know my anatomy improved incredibly once I studied a body (those pose dolls are helpful for simplifying things) and started drawing hips; they not only help in shaping a womanly body, but they help in positioning the legs. (Before i just blindly stuck legs on where I thought the rest of their body ended)
Also, I hate positioning eyes too! I avoid drawing things front and center often, because it's easier when the head is facing left/right ish, but what might help is holding the picture up to a mirror.
Finally, Reimu's sleeves: even if they are meant to be skin tight, they'd still make a sort of "bump" on her arm.
You're really not too shabby at drawing chests, y'know! (Kukuku... :3)

Rule of thumb:
NEVER FOLLOW DEVIANTART TUTORIALS
EVER
EVER
EVER
EVER
There's a few rare decent ones out there, but the vast majority will do nothing but teach you bad habits.
-
What's a deviantart tutorial? never touched them :V
And please do tell me about bad habits, I'm still learning and will pretty much take as many info and critics I can have.
@Shmarah Oho ho ho, I do know woman's body well :3 (not).
As for me, I still can't draw different position as easily as I draw a center-pose, so I'm stuck at training my anatomy at center-pose first, and take it from there.
I noticed that my drawings tend to have a quality flux based on my mood and condition, so I really need to practice a lot more..
Anyway, I might turn to digital art drawing once I have the time to steal borrow my friend's tablet, gonna see what I can do. (it'll motivate me do draw seriously rather than do a simple doodling on paper, at least)
-

Don't just make anatomy "whatever looks about right." Use Loomis books or something. And read the text.

Hey guys, do you have problems of patience while drawing a pic? I think that I have a good view for drawings and space geometry, I like the sketches that I draw but when I try to make something more elaborate , I always end rushing and running over the details. Maybe I am just a good sketch drawer :V

Bright green- what you're doing.
Dark green- what it kind of looks like.
-
Add more sleeve underneath the hand? So the right arm is actually too short?
-
The opposite.
e- To clarify, the angle of her hand makes it look like her arm is way too long.
-
Formleeeeeess :o
Also I think what Kinoko means is the sleeve is making it look like her arm goes down in a funky way, instead of what you had in mind, so it ends up looking too long and odd.
Not particularly glaring or anything to me, but I think probably shading more into the sleeve will make it more obvious which part is sleeve and which part is arm, and fix the effect

OH SHIT I SEE IT NOW
All the red stuff belong to the checkered kimono. Kimono sleeves are baggy and obviously don't stick to the arm, so the actual arm isn't even visible and there's nothing but empty space underneath the hand. I messed up the shading, though.
And yeah, the hand's angle is unnatural. I can sorta reproduce it in mirror, but it's painful.

Looking at all the art you guys have done is making me regret not drawing a lot (if anything) since like 2010 or something, though recently I've been trying to get back into my art again, and I've done this in the forum of a lil project I like to call "Draw every major Touhou character in the series!" in order of Game release (HRtP - MS) and then the Windows Timeline (EoSD - Forbidden Scrollery).
So far I've got PC-98 Reimu sketched and inked and just have to colour her and I've started on the sketch of SinGyoku's female form, but the male and orb form will be in the same image like they should be so don't worry about it :P
But until I get my scanner up and running again and get these first images scanned in, have a unfinished drawing of Cirno I did back in 2010 :V

The hair from the picture that is looking to the right seems OK for me but the other pic's hair looks a bit short, I think that you should move the hair's base upward to make the head look rounder

I suggest you start reading on anatomy as soon as possible. Posemaniacs gives references, but just drawing while looking at the poses won't help. How do I put it...you need to know where the muscles are, and what they're doing, etc. Guidelines will help as well. In fact, I strongly suggest you start viewing the body as a ball and cylinder model as a guide to anatomy. Proportions are also a must. You're going to need all of that if you want to improve. Also start drawing nekkids. Drawing a character naked before putting clothes on gives you an idea of where the limbs should be, and you get to practice anatomy as well.
Clothing is also something you'll need to look on. I can't actually give any advice on that other than to draw from life.
I think I've posted this, but I'll post it again. It's an anthro tutorial, but it also teaches the human bits, and it's pretty comprehensive if you don't have a book handy.

I am now certain that whoever came up with the new site design for the photobucket is a devil incarnate. It is sadistic, hard to fool around, has far too many useless features and the list goes on. I sometimes wonder why people sometimes go over the top and screw something already functioning brilliantly over. Anyway, time to run. Don't throw stones at me. No, scratch that. You people may throw some stones at me, just not the big ones.

I honestly don't know what you're all talking about. (http://i.imgur.com/DF1Uw.png)
I've been lurking this thread for a while, I can see a lot of great artists! I might post my drawings once I actually get up and draw one. Wait about 15 minutes and I'll edit this post with a drawing.

Hmm I tried to say that you should make the hair higher like in the following pic. I made the hair grow a little higher than the circle that you draw to use as the head's base:

And one more drawing mine, I liked only the upper body part so I cut off the rest :P

So by base, you meant the distance between the crests of it and the base circle? got it :) nice new drawing, btw. plan on coloring it?

Hi, dat Yuyuko :3

When you are using network mode in OpenCanvas 1.1 to draw with somebody else, sometimes it goes out of sync and starts to create those horizontal lines automatically until it syncs itself back. That is the downside of using OpenCanvas 1.1, but drawing with somebody else is better than just drawing alone.

hello everyone! first post
I am admittedly new to touhou just discovering it this week, but damn I am hooked and in love with this series/universe.
My art style isn't anime but it actually makes me want to do a fully developed fan art piece for it even more. Bored at work last night I did a quick portrait of Reimu
(http://25.media.tumblr.com/2256afeb1b4c17fc2569d82de06ee130/tumblr_mfbbcyooUD1rfcaigo1_1280.png)
Hope to get the real piece of art to some workable 'wip' state to show you guys :P
also shameless plug for my art tumblr, I do a variety of styles from adventuretimey to much more realistic stuffff: marccasper.tumblr.com
-
Welcome to the forums!
That's a pretty nice Reimu you have there, I always like seeing semi-realism and Touhou. You might want to consider moving her ear back a couple of centimeters as it doesn't quite line up to her jaw but aside from that it looks great, looking forwards to seeing it more completed.
You also might want to consider linking your Tumblr in your signature as opposed to hotlinking it in a post, if only because it'll get lost as more people post their art.
Enjoy your stay. :)

Good catch on the ear!!!~
I do not know how to add an avatar or change sig or anything. I also have to type in a captcha every post AND SOLVE MATH!!! lol, Maybe my account is on some trial period?? >.>;

I lurked on here for a few pages a few months ago, but now I have the time to draw something... *determined face*
Actually this is just a coloured sketch. Because I still hate lineart with burning passion.

Also known as why I should never draw clouds ever again. Originally the hands weren't going to be there but then I was like 'I MUST CONFRONT MY FEARS' and stuck them on at the last minute. It made the arms look wonky too~
-
I actually really like your clouds and the coloring, very creamy and nice on the eyes ;D
-
Thank you :3. I was actually moderately happy with the colouring and stuff, since one of my personal rules is 'if the lineart/lack of lineart looks strange, at least try to make the colours prettier'.
... Though I'm still going to practice the technical parts of drawing. Somehow. :munch:

Some critique in case you're interested.
-Her head is squashed. Try to draw her entire skull, you'll realise that the hair actually cuts into it.
-Eyes are too wide apart.
-The shading on the hair looks a little wonky; feels like you kinda just airbrushed it over. The lines are otherwise pretty good.
http://www.elfwood.com/farp/theart/maeryhair/maeryhair.html
Check this out for more help.
-Her arms are bent the wrong way. I can't imagine how painful it'll be for her. For starters you could try using a mirror as reference for the arms or a camera. If you can't do that, a reference pose works too. The shading there is also pretty wonky. How do I describe it...sharp? Maybe you're trying that newfangled "cell shading", what ever that is, but overall it doesn't fit the way you coloured the dress and skin. You're better off going with the airbrush.
-Her hands are too small. Basic anatomy dictates that hands should be as long (from middle finger to palm) as the distance between the eyebrows and chin. Smaller is fine, but definitely not this small.
-Dress doesn't seem to be wrong. Not glaringly so, at least.
-Shoulders look wonky. Do you know how they work?
-I presume the choice of light source is to the (image) left. You need to emphasise that more on the overall shading.
I think that's it, I'm not an expert, but that's what I think is wrong. Brush up in anatomy and it should help you greatly. Hope this helps.

@Savory - I love how clean your stuff always looks! Jealous
@Pirate: Pirate! Nothing really to say, just first time I have seen you not on the irc chat and instead on here >.>;;
@ZellBell: To better learn anatomy going to life drawing classes and anatomy classes always helps the most, but the way I learned was by studying a few different books! They will help you a lot I am sure ;D

-
Along with going to anatomy classes and learning from books you could also take a sketchbook wherever you go if you don't already and draw the people/animals/things you see. Whether it be during class, on the bus, in the park, or wherever seems most comfortable. Its also a fun way to learn imo. :V
-
Thanks! I've never actually gotten critique before, so this is very helpful to start on my corrections-for-next-time. (Eheh... I'm always kind of daunted by anatomy novels and forget most of it). Well in my personal critique I mostly just go 'something is wrong here' but I either can't correct it because it's too far along or I don't know how to correct it :colonveeplusalpha:
I can't go to life drawing classes and I don't even take art next year, so basically all my artistic skills(?) are built up by observation. I mean if I look at arms enough maybe I'll be able to draw them better? :V
-
I mean if I look at real life examples of arms and practice drawing them in various poses by breaking down the anatomy into a structure which suits your style enough maybe I'll be able to draw them better? :V

I don't need art lessons or life drawing classes to get better. There are enough resources on anatomy on the next. If you learn the muscles that make up the body you'll understand the shape that limbs make.
-

I wouldn't call myself good but if you are just starting out on backgrounds I would recommend painting them fast and keeping them simple. Overcomplicated backgrounds can screw up a picture, especially if all you want to do is get rid of white.
Here are some I painted, each took me around 10 minutes and were used purely to change up the background a bit.

Eh, I don't mean simple backgrounds like that. I mean REAL backgrounds. Grass, dirt, sky, buildings. That sort of thing.
Cool stuff though.
-
These are just basics to help you get started, the last example I provided can easily be built up into something more complicated (ie. a 'real' background) but you should practice simple stuff like this before detailing it too much otherwise it can quite easily look terrible. Walk before you run and all that.

Pictures~
The faces look good! If you're looking for improvement, maybe this advice might help. Though from looking at that Sanae pic, you seem to have already learned from those mistakes, so I'll spoiler it.
Byakuren's chin has some wiggliness(?) that it would do better without. Also, the point of the chin seems to not be there.
The right side of eiki's chin (from her perspective) is slightly disconnected from the part that rises up to the forehead (dunno the exact term, hehe). Also, has what looks like a sticker on her left. Erasing that would make it look better. Redline's at the bottom of the post.
As for lunasa's the part that rises up to the forehead (as you see here) seems rather nonexistant. Darkening it to make it notiveable as the rest of the face contours is a good idea.
There you go. I was assuming you were only concerned with the face contours, so if there's anything else of the faces that bothers you (or you'd understand better with more redlines), I can take a look at /do more of those, too.

Yeah, a flag must be on right side.
And, if you watch carefully, you'll notice that her left eye is a bit larger than right, that gives her an... interesting expression. :3
Though you advance, that's for sure. So, I can see some bones in her arm.
Hm... if you watched from Suwako's side, the note would be perfectly on right side.

@Kaze_Senshi: Adding to what's been said about the eyes, you can make her right eye (from her perspective) the same height as the other one to make the expression seem more "normal", unless that expression is what you were going for. It's like it's saying "you think this looks novel, don't you?" lol Also, I like the way you drew the frog!
@Halca: That's adorable~ Looks like what you'd see in a mariari animation vid. Intimacy in a starry sky, and all. :)

I am so inspirational Kogasa looks cute, but I think that it lacks something to give the "movement impression". If you crop her head and show to someone, this people won't be able to say that she is in movement. There is no wind on the hair, speed effects on the cloth or in the air. Also I think that the Umbrella's tongue should bend more to the left <--- in the place where it's touching the snow. And the most important detail, you could put a tear in the Umbrella's eye for comic effect :V

@Kaze_Senshi
Yeah I kinda screwed up the movement part, but by the time I realised it, it was kinda too late for me to make changes, so I was like "screw it."
Also there is no snow (I was too lazy to even draw the ground. Hoho)
That Sunny Milk looks a little better than the rest. Please lrn2draw better eyes. It's a real glaring problem to me at the moment.

Hey bro, don't wanna be rude or anything, but everyone's been noticing that you're too hard on people. Criticism is very much welcome here, everyone loves criticism, but a bit of tact is advised. Don't just go "lrn2draw" on someone, that's rude and unproductive. Thanks.

I am glad that you liked her smile :) I need to study more about shading in general, this includes the eyes part. For while since I don't know it well I don't shade too much because I think that my shading makes the drawing looks "dirty" or strange :P
Anyway here is one little little drawing that I made, the others that I posted here were using a half A4 page, so I liked this one too :V

For one, shading within the eye usually follows the eye contour and the shadow around the face usually go down all the way to the chin. That's what I do at least and you may have some wacky lighting you may want to try out.
Also taking a look at my flash drive, that's one small drawing. Either that or I have no idea how large is large when drawing on paper.

Nice Ibara. You surely are getting better. Now I want to draw some bones, it is good because that way I may improve too. (lol Kasen makes me better)

The back of your neck should go more smoothly into the head line and not be at such a noticeable angle.
e: well it won't actually work for that angle, so nvm
And it does look rotated, but it's not that noticeable.

Be careful with the head's contour line when you change its angle. As you spin it, it takes the shape of the cheeks/nose, like this one (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v130/crapitalism/Art%20Helpers/AndrewLoomis-DrawingTheHeadHands-17.jpg). The top left/right faces look a bit flat.

Cheekbone's a little too high. It's usually at the level where the nose is, unless you plan for Nue to have a high cheekbone as a defining character trait.
Eyes are too far apart from each other
Chin looks a little wonky. Slanted in the wrong way, I'll bet.
Please learn to draw ears.
http://www.stanprokopenko.com/blog/2009/07/draw-ears/
This tutorial should help. Pointy ears are only normal ears except skewed in one direction
Knuckles are in a straight line. That's not a good thing. Look at your own knuckles, they're set in a curve.
Arm is thick, so it looks like the hand is part of the arm itself. Remember that the hand is wider than the wrist.
Her boobs look wrong. It looks like a really long curve down.
-
Kaze Senshi, I feel like you might benefit from drawing based on models or tracings. Or reading a lot of manga.
NotAPirate went into detail above (and while I think he was a bit harsh, I also don't think it was condescending or anything, since he gave solid advice), but I think the better advice would just be to keep drawing and practicing, because the things that are off in your art are things that will be solved by just continuing to draw.
Some specifics from me: the forearm starts off a bit thick from the elbow and then narrows until you reach the wrist; the palm widens out from there. The knuckles are more of an arc than a straight line. What I see of Nue's upper right arm makes me think that her shoulder is narrower than her wrist, so that needs fixing. You did a better job on Reisen's neck than you did Nue's, imo; her shirt collar has depth there, whereas Nue's shirt collar is tight on her neck.
It ain't bad but it can be better if you keep practicing and learning to add detail here and there and continuing to work at it. Good luck.
-
As long as we're on the subject, there is certainly something to be said for constructive criticism, which most of NotaPirate's post does seem to be.
Please learn to draw ears.
This, however, is unnecessarily crass for your (or anyone's) purposes. Please try to avoid such negative phrasings in the future when doing art critique.
-
Or reading a lot of manga.
Don't do this. Any professional artist you can name, with the possible exception of Rob Liefeld, is also capable of drawing realism and otherwise outside their style. This is not a coincidence. To draw with any convincing sense of proportion, volume, perspective, or other fundamentals, you must know what basic shapes make up the object you're depicting; how those shapes will appear under different perspectives; how light and shadow will interact with those shapes; and so forth. The only meaningful way to familiarize yourself with those shapes is to draw them--over and over--as they appear in life. Copying someone else's stylized version of reality is like making a photocopy of a photocopy--all you'll learn is to copy configurations of lines and values, you won't understand why they were put there, and you won't be able to apply your experience to different poses, lighting, etc.

Maullar: My brain spazzed out halfway through writing that sentence and forgot that I wanted to correct it. I meant to say something along the lines of magazines or drawing from life. Though some artists do have really good grasps of anatomy and detail. Otoyomegatari, for example.

Looking back on this one, there are a few rather embarrassing mistakes, such as the middle of the large braided rope being held up without support, or the opposite corners of the stone lantern's roof both pointing toward the viewer, or the abnormally large head on Cirno but oh well. This is why it's been 10 years after I got out of art school and nobody wants to hire me to be an illustrator.

Gotta study harder, talking about embarrassing mistakes I was trying to draw some surprise expressions, I think that I am starting to draw opened mouths that don't look like an inflatable doll's mouth :V

Seriously though, its easier said than done but instead of moping around because you're art isn't where you want it and hating on yourself to the point where you become depressed, sit in a corner and start crying. Use those feelings to motivate yourself to practice more and become better at what you do. Don't let a mental illness or current situation stop you from doing something either. Find ways to use it to your advantage and overcome it. Don't worry about people who can draw better than you or anything like that and use that jealously you happen feel to motivate you even more. :derp: And If you can, ask them for some tips and help. Take small steps, It takes time.

Yes, and? It sucks that some people have to work harder than others to achieve the same result. But complaining about that fact isn't going to change it. And it's not going to change the fact that everyone, disabled or no, has to work and study hard to get good.
-
Thats not what I meant. Its getting that change in attitude that may be pretty much impossible for some people, since they dont even know how to start making themselves do it. An idea of it may come naturally to most, but to some, it leaves them utterly lost. Also, I never meant to let on that any complaining would change anything; I was just expressing my point of view.

My first program was a console hello-world written in Borhland C++ of Windows 3.1 times. Though, I was 10 years at the time, that was in 2005.
So, that first program wasn't compiled. I didn't wrote proper #includes, and not because I forgot, but because I had no idea what they do.
Now, e. g., I surely can redo most of EthanSilver's creatings. Previous versions of my project used OpenGL, now I moved to Direct3D 9. There was a time when I even tried to write my own drawing system, and code written in asm seemed to work just fine.
You think, I could gain that skill without writing calculators that Pascal refused to even compile?
Ah, also. Playing UT. I've started to play against Novice bots. And was losing. In that fateful 2005, I've finally managed to beat the last boss on that Novice. Now, I play against Adept..Godlike, depending on weapons and maps.
You still read? :V
-
That your programming skill progressed due to basic things you started off with? Thats not quite what I was talking about; its getting that change in attitude, or getting motivated that gets that progress moving in a better direction. If that's too uncommon a problem, then nevermind. ^^;

@Kaze: That's a well-done Eiki! I like how you drew her as a cute response to a post. As for feedback, here:
Smoothing the lines would make it look somewhat nicer. Also, her right forearm needs slightly more meat. You can look at your own forearms to see what I mean. I'll PM you a redline later. Looking at her head, the arms should be a little wider. Also, her right arm seems longer than her left, but maybe that's just me.
@Piranha: I like your sketch, Piranha! I like how you made the jeans fit so naturally onto the nude model; well-done! If you're looking for feedback, feel free to look at (or ignore) this spoilered text:
As far as I know (or maybe not), the arms are slightly too thin. As they are, they're actually perfectly fine (it's manga, after all!), but if you want to draw closer to realism, then perhaps you should make those arms just slightly thicker. I'd give feedback on the feet too, but I'm not so good with feet yet ^^;
Keep up the good work, guys~

Now draw hair better! The top part of the head is weirdly shaped; remember that the skull is pretty round. Stop drawing hair randomly and try to envision them is individual strands, coming from a single point!
Body wise, there are some glaring problems.
-Her fingers are a lil short. Your third finger is the same length as your palm.
-HER BOOBS ARE TOO LOW DDDDD:
-Hips should be about the same width as the shoulders. This results in some fairly thin thighs

but how to anime hair

By the gods, that improvement is jaw dropping.

Body wise, there are some glaring problems.
-Her fingers are a lil short. Your third finger is the same length as your palm.
-HER BOOBS ARE TOO LOW DDDDD:
-Hips should be about the same width as the shoulders. This results in some fairly thin thighs
-Arms might be a little thin too.
-Her legs seem to be a lil' short.

That's something I want to know about. How high are a girl's boobs supposed to be? (not trying to sound offensive here)
I have no idea *shrug*
Boobs start from the armpits, then they just slant down. That's all I know really. I swear I draw boobs too high myself. Maybe I should take reference? :DDD

yeah sure stare at chests more often, everyone! :V

I totally wanted the hands to be bigger, but I screwed up because the heart was also supposed to be bigger, and I didn't want to redraw the whole hand.

I'm not really sure how to explain how I did it... I did the skin, clothes, hair and eyes on different layers worked on each one at a time, blocking out the colours and adding detail as I went. That probably wasn't helpful at all.
People often come out weird when I draw them facing forwards. I've never been too good at it;;

Yeah that wasn't too helpful. LOL.
I was just curious because I never knew how people do brushwork on the comp. All I do is mindless sketching and blurring. hah.
But anyway, I think the problem could be of the following (I don't really know since I can't really tamper with it):
Distance between eyes is too large
Eyes are slanted downward
Mouth is in an impossible shape
Eyebrows are invisible (her right one should at least be partially viewable

I see all of those now aha
Her mouth was supposed to be slightly open and I think I forgot to clean it up, so that might be part of the issue. Also I always seem to forget that eyebrows exist >>
I didn't do any blending with the brushwork but I don't have a set method for how I colour things oops
thank you for the help

So, um... Just going to drop this here (http://moerin-satsuki.deviantart.com/gallery/42149558). It's concept art for an original story (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,6591.msg940021.html#msg940021) I've got in my head which may or may not see the light of day (in other words, it's not Touhou), and I just kind of wanted to get some feedback to see what people thought of the character designs so far. Like it says to the side of the folder, the art was originally done by me but fixed up by a friend. I still have the original, hand drawn pictures stashed away in case anyone's interested in seeing them, although they're kind of crappy so... Yeah.
Just wanted to see if anyone liked the designs, or had any comments about them, or even if anyone had a particular favourite design or anything. So, um... Yeah. >.<

For the most part I like the designs. QDiamonds and ASpades' magical forms look kind of circus/jokerey to me, though. I understand they're based on cards, but it still looks kind of silly.

Art-wise, my first attempt at a Youmu x Reisen book never got past those two pictures in my previous post. The script got a little bit farther, up to the point where Kaguya "opened the Moon Door" before a duel between Youmu and Reisen, but that's all been scrapped now.

NOTIFICATION
Okay guys and girls, I'm incredibly happy that the Art board is lively and all, but we have this thing called board rules (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,4847.0.html) which are pretty much neglected quite a bit here recently.
Granted, that thread is kinda chaotic and at points outdated, which is why I will overhaul it in the next week, but the main issue is image size rules. Especially you RA++ guys should know better than to post 1000 pixel images, you're setting a bad example for newcomers!
To repeat from the thread: You are permitted to post up to 640x480 images, up to 150kb in size. Anything above this must be be linked to or thumbnailed. No ifs, ands, buts, excuses, or exceptions. Got it? Good.
Now this is a guideline, we're not gonna bite anyone's head off if your image is 700x500, or 250kb, stuff like that. But images with dimension of 1400xwhatever are not tolerable. Even if you use an image-resize code, it still loads the full image and then just visually resizes it afterwards.
That means that especially for people with slower connections or on mobile devices they get large images loaded that they might not even want to see.
As a measure of common courtesy, try to keep your images within the rules and use thumbnails and links so that people only have to load the full large images when they actually have an interest in them.
Thanks for listening and keep up the good work~

Here's my take on it. It's not really that good either, but... hopefully I can say something useful <:Y
[attach=1]
One thing that really makes an expression is eyebrows. I find that a good way to do nervous, unsure, etc is to do slightly serious/angry eyebrows like you made, but add a little of an upward slant towards the center.
Since we're going animu, it's okay to exaggerate some stuff. When you look away in guilt or shame, your head turns only slightly. It's okay to turn it some more for anime I guess. I also made the closer eye wince a little for extra effect.
As for the mouth, I think the main issue is that yours is pointed up. Imagine a normal mouth when it talks - the upper lip is more stable, while the lower moves more. In your drawing, it looks like the upper lip is more flexible.
Like I mentioned, I'm still a pretty new drawer, so it would be nice if someone better than me (de)confirmed what I've said.
also I need to draw more

@KazeSenshi: Something is off with your Alice, but I can't put it in words. Maybe someone who can explain better...
@KrackoCloud: ...And there's the someone. I actually don't see anything wrong with your Alice. I personally wouldn't put the head so high above the shoulders, especially when the character is supposed to be looking down (try turning your head to the side and looking down a little, then note the difference in level between your chin and shoulders), but that's just a style thing. (My style has characters with the distance between shoulders seldom greater than the width of the head, which is just as anatomically inaccurate.) Your picture has a proper balance and the proportion of the face features makes sense to me. It even holds up when I horizontal flip the image (which isn't always true when I draw characters). In terms of drawing the face, you're better than I was 4 years ago, and you will probably surpass me two years from now.
-
Ah, that neck does kind of ruin the sense of her looking down, now that you mention it. Looks like I've still got a ways to go. Thanks for the tips and encouragement!
-
This is my take on guilt, whole body because I got carried away:
http://www.fileize.com/files/1d1e0534/2bd/forlon.png
From a very informative infographic, guilty faces are almost expressionless, and features shrink. Also, the head faces downward and gazes away. The thing is, guilty faces are made by trying not to express it (from what I gathered, anyway)
What I came up with was probably more of a forlorn look, so I guess I didn't do what I intended very well.
@kaze_senshi that mouth is probably really unrealistic. Slanted eyes and eyebrows seem to convey more of the "anger" type. Say, frustration, annoyance.

Reading some tutorials I think that this trick of the "half ball" works because the circle's curve that is faced to the rotation axis tends to become flat, or something like this.
And the weekly game idea sounds good, how will work the vote counting system, are the votes for the drawings or for the next idea theme suggestion?
And I need first to know how to draw heads looking down/up before to rotate it down/up-left/right so there is a Parsee looking for feedbacks

"It's not what you think!"
I think we had one of those a very, very long time ago?
Well it should totally come back
Also, if you're looking for head perspectives, I found this handy for a quick reference. (http://yuumei.deviantart.com/art/Head-Perspective-Chart-111580222) Alternatively, Google Image-ing "head perspective" also works.
And just because I'm a bit bored at the moment:
[attach=2]
I'm not too good, but just remember that the face (eyes, nose, mouth) squishes together to the edges of the circle when you face them that way. You could think of that arc as pushing the features of the face off to the side. This also applies when making your people face sideways too. Also remember that the side opposite to the face squishing gets more space. That means more chin when you look up and more hair when you look down.
And I need first to know how to draw heads looking down/up before to rotate it down/up-left/right so there is a Parsee looking for feedbacks
I think that Parsee looks good. I don't see anything that really stands out as off.

So, still working on that series of magical girl stuff (which I really would like feedback on, if anyone's willing to give it), and...

This is pretty good, imo.
In terms of character design, this and a couple other characters you've made look perfectly fine. I think you should mainly concern yourself with the presentation. Draw more interesting poses that reflect personality maybe, because right now I see lots of characters just standing.

I'll pass on the message about shading, then. Like I said, whilst I do the original drawings and characters designs, it's a friend of mine who fixes them up digitally (which mostly just involves fixing some of the more glaring anatomical errors and making their eyes not empty, soulless pits). I kind of suck at colouring right now, so I just provide him with a colour guide for the time being. Also:
[nsfw]http://i.imgur.com/tfhcv3w.png[/nsfw]
It's honestly not that bad, just excessive cleavage and panties, but you can never be too careful. Really do hope that the mask and the knife help cancel out the fanservicey effect and make her look more creepy than sexy.

Ahah, right, yeah, I've been trying to think about that. Best I've came up with so far is the one in the martial arts pose, I guess. Problem is that I still need a lot of practice with different poses. There was one I did recently where... I tried to draw her sitting down, kind of slouched down in a chair in a profoundly arrogant way, but I realised that not only could I not currently draw someone sitting down on a chair, I can't draw chairs either. :fail: So I'm going to have to try again with that one.
Thank you, though. I'll keep that in mind.

@Superparadox: but if he would be cursed with a low aptitude in drawing humans...well, i don't know how much of a good trade off that is...
@Moerin I don't like how someone's doing the shading for you. Are you making time to improve your colouring skills yourself?
By the way, the mask is the only thing keeping her creepy. She'd just look a little erotic otherwise.
-
@Moerin I don't like how someone's doing the shading for you. Are you making time to improve your colouring skills yourself?
I would say this is pretty important. Even if coloring and shading are a real pain, you can always opt for something more minimalistic. Coloring a single color in between the lines is not particularly hard, and you can just shade in obvious dark spots, like right under the neck and behind bangs.
It may not be spectacular, but starting at basic colors and shading is a first step.
By the way, do you use a tablet, or do you scan?
-
@Charles Barkley and SuperParadox: I am very happy that you like my perspective and background works. I sometimes get down on myself for not drawing characters as well as the artists here, so I'm glad to be appreciated for drawing the things I am good at. Although, even my perspective drawings suffer from embarrassing scale errors every now and then.
For what it's worth, I do admire how you two manage to do the gradient shading. I looked at some drawings on pixiv (about the same quality as Charles's), tried to emulate the skin shading, and failed hard. I can't get mine to look right, and almost always settle for flat areas of solid color. And I'm using the same Photoshop as everyone, I think. It's in the hand, not in the tools.
@NotaPirate: Yeah, not being that good at drawing people has been a big block for my professional aspirations, as I may have said in one of my deleted rants in this thread. That's why I'm a website programmer, while the people I went to art school with have become professional illustrators (and one even owns his own company). I just have to keep studying and practicing to overcome my people-drawing and shading weaknesses, despite my slow improvement rate in that area. The same goes for anyone's weakness, really.
-
Well on the note of shading, i came across this tip of using only values to shade your drawings when you're starting out. That is, doing the whole thing completely greyscale. All you need to focus on is where the light falls, and where shadows are created (though i'm probably wrong about that, hah).
In any case, you won't have to bother with pesky palettes just yet with only values, and you can still form a sort of a 3d representation all the same.
-
I would say this is pretty important. Even if coloring and shading are a real pain, you can always opt for something more minimalistic. Coloring a single color in between the lines is not particularly hard, and you can just shade in obvious dark spots, like right under the neck and behind bangs.
It may not be spectacular, but starting at basic colors and shading is a first step.
This is correct. If you just do the lines, you're only getting half the story. Without trying to understand where the lights and shadows will fall, you won't get a sense for the actual shapes behind your lines. See attachment 1.
@Sixten - On the topic of backgrounds and architecture, how many points of perspective do you use? It looks like all the building lines vanish to one point. How about the lines on the truck, which run perpendicular to the viewer's eye? I assume those vanish to a different point on the same horizon. Which brings me to another question--how many guidelines do you draw, and how do you keep them accurate where the vanishing point falls off your canvas? A lot of the time, I find that my perspective gets undisciplined because I don't have the stamina to check every single line against the vanishing point(s). See attachment 2.

@Charles: I'm not as good at explaining as I would like to be, but hopefully this helps:
How many points of perspective do you use?
The "Misty's Big Easy" picture (http://www.houseofsixten.com/stealth/cirno/illusion/page001.jpg (http://www.houseofsixten.com/stealth/cirno/illusion/page001.jpg)) has three vanishing points: one very near the left of Misty's head (it's still there on the picture), one to the far right of the canvas, and one far above the canvas. The buildings, truck, and sidewalk all respect those vanishing points. And no, I did not extend the canvas and draw guidelines from those vanishing points. I did it all by guessing, which is why the picture has a bunch of errors in the lines projecting from the far right point.
How do you keep them accurate when the vanishing point falls off your canvas?
By guessing well. I have a very strong memory of angles and somehow this comes naturally to me - I was able to do this three months into art school. In my experience, other artists who started art school at the same time as me have been able to develop this guessing ability - it usually took them longer than it took me though. And note that my guesses are sometimes wrong.
See attachment 2.
In order to perspective properly, you need to "see the unseen".
The first unseen thing is the camera. Where is the eye of the beholder? The lines in your picture appear to be confused as to where it is.
If your camera is a surveillance camera in the opposite corner of the room from the one you've shown, and is near the roof, then the picture would be like: http://www.houseofsixten.com/stealth/cirno/illusion/classroom-topcorner-camera.jpg (http://www.houseofsixten.com/stealth/cirno/illusion/classroom-topcorner-camera.jpg) - note that the lines where the walls meet the ceiling are nearly horizontal. That's because the camera would be nearly level with those lines.
If your camera is the eye of a person sitting in the second tier of seats, the picture would be like: http://www.houseofsixten.com/stealth/cirno/illusion/classroom-secondtier-camera.jpg (http://www.houseofsixten.com/stealth/cirno/illusion/classroom-secondtier-camera.jpg)
The second unseen thing is the sides of objects that are blocked from view. The two tiers of tables form a small staircase on either side of the teacher's table. See the dotted lines where the stairsteps are - they will help you position the tables properly.
The third unseen thing is the continuation of shapes. The tables are pieces of a circle (or ellipse). Imagining the rest of the circle will help you draw the part of the table that exists.
That's it for now. Please note, even if perspective stuff is where my "gift" lies, remember that I'm still learning how to do this myself.
-
Dear god. I barely know what you mean. Like how the top lines of the buildings don't seem to connect with the vanishing point by Misty, and then the camera positioning part, it's all very hard to take in :(
I guess I can just practice and maybe get something right. Maybe.
-
Superb explanation. What are some times you've used more or fewer than 3 vanishing points?
-
@Charles: I'll use some examples from my first comic, Miao Diary, which was a twisted spite-driven self-insert story totally unlike my wholesome Toho works. The character art is horrible, being from 4 years ago, but at least it got the stamp of approval from Establish Nechoes...
One vanishing point: http://www.houseofsixten.com/stealth/cannonpost/page50.jpg (http://www.houseofsixten.com/stealth/cannonpost/page50.jpg)
The point is the black dot in the middle of the Return of the Jedi scene with cat ears. I generally use one point when looking straight down a street or corridor.
Two vanishing points: http://www.houseofsixten.com/stealth/cannonpost/page29.jpg (http://www.houseofsixten.com/stealth/cannonpost/page29.jpg)
The top frame has two vanishing points: one far left off the canvas, and the other right next to the bus. Two points is the default for scenes inside a room from the viewpoint of one character talking to another character at the same level, but it works for street-level outdoor architecture as well.
Three vanishing points: http://www.houseofsixten.com/stealth/cannonpost/page57.jpg (http://www.houseofsixten.com/stealth/cannonpost/page57.jpg)
The three points are all off the canvas, in a downward-pointing equilateral triangle with the top frame in the center. The third point is used when looking up or down at something.
In a picture that has several rectangular objects each tilted at a different angle from the viewing plane, you will need a separate set of vanishing points for each object. See: http://www.houseofsixten.com/stealth/cirno/gunsandroses/page000b_small.jpg (http://www.houseofsixten.com/stealth/cirno/gunsandroses/page000b_small.jpg). In this still life, the objects tend to align themselves with the pale green grid which is defined by two vanishing points, but some objects are rotated with respect to the grid and need their own set of points.
In general, you don't have an object governed by more than three vanishing points at a time (common objects are, after all, only three-dimensional at most). Even complex objects can be broken down into three-dimensional boxes. But when projecting through a spherical lens or a fisheye view, you may get curved perspective lines and many vanishing points, as anything will start to converge to an off-canvas point the more they move to the edge of your vision. But I say this theoretically of course. I haven't been able to pull off such a picture ever.
-
Interesting. Thanks for the insight.
-
I wonder though, where do humans come into this equation of perception and them vanishing points? Humans aren't remotely square or blocky, are there any guidelines or is it just guessing?
-
@NotaPirate: Perspective certainly applies to humans - just stand on a balcony and watch people walk on the sidewalk below, or lie in bed and look up at your parents when they come to wake you up. Or try to imagine a martial arts fight from the point of view of one of the participants, about to get a boot to the head. Perspective may be based on blocks, but the rules that govern objects appearing larger as they get closer to you are as applicable to humans as they are to cars or buildings. But if I knew how to draw humans well enough to give a demonstration of how perspective applies to them, I would be a successful comic book artist instead of someone who gripes on forums about his lack of skill.

Right, well, now that I've got my thoughts together...
The reason I'm having someone else do the colouring for me, aside from the fact that I'm still trying to get the hang of it myself, is because I kind of don't consider myself an artist, if that makes sense. I'm just trying to get out some character designs I have in my head into a tangable form so that I can picture them clearer. Thankfully I was able to find someone who could actually draw to collaborate with and to help fix up my rough designs, but I do suppose knowing that there's someone else to help me has helped my confidence grow, as seen by how much stuff I've gotten out lately compared to how much stuff I'd done in the past few years. I'll admit that I'm probably getting better, but... Really, the whole point was less an artistic thing and more simply something to aid me in other ventures. If that makes sense.
Anyways, um... Actually got that slouching pose to actually finally work, so... Here's something new (http://moerin-satsuki.deviantart.com/art/Queen-of-Cups-357086661). Really like how the hair turned out, even if it does make her look like she's stuck in the 80s. :yukkuri:

I know what you mean about not considering yourself an artist. Usually I feel more like a drawer than an artist, because my drawings aren't particularly colorful or meaningful. They're just kind of concepty.
That being said, I still think it would be worth your time to learn some basic coloring. Considering that your drawings are pretty decent at this point, I don't think it would be impossible for you to learn it.
As for the new character... I like her hair. It's crazy and cool. :V
Her face is pretty well-done, but I noticed that the width of her sleeves seem asymmetric. Also her right shoe is a bit narrow, and her left shoe is big.
-
I don't like that attitude of yours, but I'm not going to convince you otherwise.
By the way, that pose is anatomically impossible. Just try and get your shoulders to be perpendicular to your legs. Not happening.
As for the design itself (since that is probably the main thing you want to show), the shirt is utterly bland, and those three lines on it mean nothing to me. Rather it just makes the shirt look messy. Try some frilly buttons or something. Jacket could use some designs rather than just being flat out blue. Maybe some motif on the side of the shoulder or the chest area.

Also maybe you could use a brighter texture to the background that are closer of the viewer and a darker one to the part which is more far away.
Annndd does this profile side view pic looks correct?
(http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/7865/sideiku.jpg)
-
No.
-
On a more specific note, the most glaring problem is the shape of her face. The lower portion of her nose, where the nostrils would be, is too big. The area between the tip of your nose and the top of your lips is generally not much wider than two fingers, but Iku here could fit three or four.
Remember that noses point downward, not upward, unless you're going for a pig-like character. Which is, sadly, what Iku looks like with that nose.
I won't be able to point out all of the problems with this picture, but you should have been able to catch some mistakes simply by comparing it to a quick Google image search on "profile." Do you use references?
It may also help you to compare the heights of the features side-by-side with your own front-view drawings.
-
Well I tried to use some references and one fast tutorial about this because I am not used to draw this position yet. I changed the focus from rotated heads to the side profile view because I think that it will make me understand better the face, making it easier to draw the head when it is rotated or tilted. Thanks for the tips, I'll try to focus on these mistakes :P
-
@Kinoko: I tried talking to myself a few times and changed the dialogue. I also changed the font back to the one I used for Autumn Children.

There's nothing, absolutely nothing, wrong with hand-lettering. I would use it more if my handwriting wasn't total rubbish. You can even make your own handwritten font if you feel like it.

@kaze-senshi http://puu.sh/2dYnY
The Ikus at the bottom are a tiny trick I used a long time ago (no longer using it though I found it helpful) to help with side profiles: Draw a non side profile, can be 3/4 if that's what you're familiar with (that's what I am familiar with, anyway huehue) and then a side profile beside it. Line the features up (eyes, nose, forehead, mouth, chin etc) to keep to proportions

Oh cool, ruler master :O
One question, I think that the most objects that you drew have the vanishing points in the direction of the blue arrows which I drew on the train. If I want to draw something "rotated" like that green MSPaint house that I drew how should I proceed with the vanishing points? Can you do a redline of its vanishing points in this picture? Thank you :)

@KrackoCloud: This took about 12 hours - and if you count the original version (http://www.houseofsixten.com/stealth/cirno/illusion/station1.jpg) that I threw out because it had even more mistakes (the most glaring one being the train being way too small), it was about 20 hours of work between "I'm going to do a train station" and "I have a train station that's about 75% correct". Note: the project that I did this for did not succeed - at some point you have to know when to finish and move on, even if there are many mistakes remaining.
@Kaze_Senshi: The most important thing to remember is that your rotated object is a box whose top plane is parallel to the top plane of the box containing the train. Therefore, the vanishing points of the rotated object have to be on the same horizontal line as the vanishing points of the box containing the train. See here (http://www.houseofsixten.com/stealth/cirno/illusion/guides.jpg). Note that the left hand point is way too far to use a ruler on if you're drawing a physical picture - that's when you have to be good at guessing.
You can also see why the upper left of the original picture has so many mistakes: I messed up the convergence. I admit it's rather embarrassing for someone who claims to be good at perspective to make such an obvious mistake...

Holy balls, Maullar. You've improved.

@Maullar: Great job - this is much better than your classroom picture. As you can see from the convergence (http://www.houseofsixten.com/stealth/cirno/illusion/convergence2.jpg), you managed to guess well enough for it to be believable.
The most visible mistake is that the arm rests of the seats in the protagonist row don't line up with the arm rests of the seats in the behind row, but you have to search to find that error.
The second most visible mistake is the inconsistent spacing between the headrests of the chairs. The spacing appears to be wider in the protagonist row than in the row in front of them.
Another mistake is that the spacing between the rows of seats is too big. Remember that there are going to be tray tables that fold down from the backs of the seats, and the people behind those seats have to be able to reach those tray tables from where they are sitting. But that too is forgivable because of artistic license - if the seats were realistically spaced, they would cover up too much of the characters. In comics, realism is subordinate to storytelling, and I would probably have changed the spacing myself.
Keep up the good work.

I drew this on Colors 3D the other day. Used Hero Wan Wan as a reference.

Looked much better in 3D, in my opinion.

And it's been a while since I posted something here, in the next pic do Futo's eyes looks okay? Maybe I should rotated her head a bit to the left instead of just moving the eyes :P

This feeling is normal in anything that you are beginning, like starting to do some martial arts or starting to learning how to play an instrument, anyway you should try to transform this feeling in motivation to become better.
About your drawing I think that you should try to study the anatomy basics, take a look at this link (http://hippie.nu/~unicorn/tut/xhtml/#basics-humananatomy-legs). And draw more, practice leads to the perfection :V

We're not scared :U We're also not particularly sacred, if that's what you mean either! Not everyone here is one of the Four Queens.
We've all been at your point before, or are in the middle of it right now. Nobody is really going to laugh at you or judge you. Don't worry so much and just put something out here! Embarrassment is a given (not just for drawing, either!), and yes, criticism hurts, but it can only get better - And the more guidance you get from better artists, the faster you can get over it.

Improvement doesn't come without constant practice and feedback. It should hurt a bit - use that towards progression in your next creation.

Outlining and understanding basics on shapes, shading, perspective, etc. help. A good understanding will help things look more correct.
As for ideas, yeah, they often are spontaneous.

That's just life. If you don't want the public to judge you and your product, go be an anonymous paper-pusher somewhere. Which you won't do, because as an artist, you thrive on the affirmation and praise of others. You crave it. There might be artists who can draw solely for their own enjoyment. If there are, we don't know about them because they don't post their work around on the internet.
You're still young, younger than I was when I started. Give it time. You'll stop caring so much about things, and you'll learn not to let criticism--constructive or otherwise--get to you so much. The worst thing you can do is write off criticism you don't like as "abuse", like Dominic Deegan's Mookie does--and utterly fail to improve after drawing every day for 10 years. Mookie's mistake is drawing this artificial distinction between "criticism" and "abuse." All criticism is useful, whether it's phrased nicely or not. Take it from me. I faced down the worst Pooshlmer and SA had to offer. And while I still have much to learn, I'm stronger for the experience.

I honestly don't think you can be bad at taking criticism unless you start getting super defensive and talking back to people. If criticism hurts your self-esteem, that's not really much of an issue. If that were the case I'd argue almost everyone is bad at taking criticism, because basically that's what it's supposed to do :U
Just accept it as a humbling moment. Humility is good.

Nothing is more healthy for your art than a reality check. That is, if you have the willpower to not give up.

Well I am starting to play with MyPaint (I painted my avatar using it, but I painted the pic 150x150, so it looks more derp :V), to draw using mouse is hard and hurts my hurted hand, maybe when I finish my undergraduate course I became a rich guy that can buy a Wacom tablet to draw :P

@fondue:
xD It's just from a few angles. I've still a long way to go before I can be considered a true oppai artist.
@Kaze: oic. Looking forward to your digitals! And if you don't mind some feedback on that torso:
When it comes to realistic proportions, its width is rather lacking. But by anime standards, it's a standard build for thin characters. If your main goal in art is to make beautiful animu art (as opposed to throwing in extra anatomical correctness along with it), then the torsos you draw are just fine! As for the height, you can't really tell since it's not a full-body shot.
Feel free to take all that with a grain of salt :)
e: The hair in my pic has really been bothering me. I'd like to draw it all nice and voluminous, but I can't seem to pull it off. Anyone willing to give advice on that, please?
Also holy crap I forgot that Tenshi had a hat, and to draw it on her earlier. orz

...no, nevermind. Have you checked them boobies tuts yet? I'm sure a few have been posted. What problems do you have with em?
@honest espeon
In all honesty(hurhur), you need to learn facial anatomy. Badly. Her features are all over the place, her skull looks like...well, i have trouble even envisioning her skull there. You also seem to lack understanding as to how hair works at all.
In other news, we have overly burly shoulders (exceeding even Jojo standards, i might add). Legs that don't look like legs but are rather exaggerated curves, and boobs that are big but don't stick outwards for whatever reason.
...I really, can't envision her as tenshi. Really. I don't know how long you have spent in drawing faces, but i think you're going to have to go back and do more. You should try tracing(not drawing, mind) a skull and take note of all its features and how they affect the way a face looks. Learn from that, then decide which parts you want to ignore for your own style before drawing a face over. Please do that.

Arghhhh I messed up on many parts of cirno T_T
-
@arkeden
Funny how the sketch looked alright, yet the final product seems to have degraded a fair bit.
-okuu's boobs are too close together. Her right boob should be further away from the centre.
-the facial structureis drawn wrong. Take a reference from real life.
-whatever happened to the neck?
-lines meant to show body contours only make it wrong, because they simply shouldn't be there. In fact, i don't believe you can possibly show those with anything but shading. (The bit below the ribs, pecs, etc.)
-i can't see how her mecha arm can possibly bend that way
-her ass isn't defined well, and her hips aren't close to the width of her shoulders.
-I noticed the angle of her crotch is different than her shoulders, but i see no evidence of the torso twisting.
As for cirno...well, let's not talk about her, because i can only state that she looks incredibly wrong. Misplaced shoulders, small hand, short arm, no eyes, utterly deformed legs, and so on.
I'm afraid i can't let you off on this, because you seem to have been incredibly lazy with this work. Cirno's hair for example, looked like someone dabbling in mspaint; sharp, jagged lines and a fill colour. In fact, i can't see how you could mess her anatomy so much unless you've been skimping on it. Okuu's hair is a gradient, shading is sparse, lacking in many places. It's also spikey and jagged.
I can't truly tell what you're lacking because i don't know which problem of the drawing is attributed to your laziness or just lack of practice in some area. All i can say is, if you're having trouble keeping motivation, stick to one person per drawing, and study the contours of the body and how light shines on it.
@Fondue
Please learn anatomy. I'm no animal specialist, but even i can tell there is something horribly wrong with that face. Anthro artists require knowledge of both the structure of the human and animal body before applying a portion of each in accordance to their style. You need to check up on how to draw animal heads before trying this again. Examining how the skull works is about the first step you could do.
-
"pleasue learn anatomy" is one of the worst things you can 'critique'
if that worked so well your skills wouldnt be like what you have now huh
-
@Arkeden: Hm, I c. Sounds Zen. And eah, the boobs are a bit too close together. Unless they're being pushed together by something like clothing, they should be a little farther apart. In that pic's specific case, no cleavage should've been visible.
I'll be trying that, but how would I go about learning how the skull affects the outer flesh (extremely slow learner who learns best from specifics, here)? Also, for a head that's bowed down a little, how should the features be arranged as opposed to how I arranged them? I understand about the shoulders; in the base sketch I did in purple (http://puu.sh/2Idp5.png) the shoulders were actually proportionate. Figured out the solution.
Please be more specific on what makes the hair look off. If it helps any, I was trying to make the hair look voluminous, like you see in a lot of Tenshi fanart.
As for the boobs, I think its the lack of shading (also the frills; please give specifics on fixing those too) that made them seem to lack any forward projection (as I noted, I'm just almost at that point. After I draw in forgotten details :P).
(Please correct me if I'm wrong on anything I said, though, preferably with a demostrative picture and a specific explanation)
I also had a hard time seeing her as a Tenshi, though not because of the face ^^;
Thanks for the feedback! :)
@Vento: I guess that just reinforces the importance of giving specifics instead of referring people to vague theory? :P
-
@espeon
I can't explain. Just trace the skull, and from there, see where the features would go. Just think that skin wraps around the skull, ignoring muscles, and go from there.
If you want me to be specific about the features, they are too close, too low unaligned to the chin, one eye is smaller than the other...yeah.
I don't think there is a need to be specific about the hair, because every mistake is a result from not knowing what hair is. Always know that hair starts from a single root or a 'point'. Draw guidelines to show the direction where some strands of hair would go, instead of drawing curves.
@vento
You don't seem to understand the importance of anatomy. I improved from my shitty, worthless doodles when a few people told me to 'learn anatomy'. In those exact words. They did emphasise the importance, but how to do so was vague. But I took up a bunch of resources and started 'learning anatomy', as it were. that was the start of my improvement. It's not the worst critique. If someone is lacking in that department, that is what i will tell them. I might, however, tell them what to focus on if they're weak at a certain aspect, but it still remains a fact that they have to learn anatomy. Resources will teach much better than i can in a shorter span of time. They are there for a reason.

NotaPirate already addressed this.
I improved from my shitty, worthless doodles when a few people told me to 'learn anatomy'. In those exact words. They did emphasise the importance, but how to do so was vague.
The argument here is that saying just "learn anatomy" can suffice. It tells someone that there are too many problems with the anatomy in general, and that learning on your own would be more effective than just trying to fix whatever people list out.
Just listing out problems is only a temporary fix because the artist in question might think "Okay I can just adjust these things and I'm good," which is an issue because what if you don't point out a certain flaw in the drawing? It won't get fixed. More importantly, it only addresses the problems in that particular drawing, rather than the artist's abilities. This means it may be less helpful for them in the long run.
I think what NotaPirate's implying here makes sense.
That being said - NotaPirate, I think you took it well in your day, but not everyone can learn that way. At least mention a few things wrong so that they have at least a sense of where to start.
-

-
oh wow i post a derpy kemono drawing and i stir up an argument :( Sorry
-
@Pirate: All right, then. And I've known for a long time that hair starts from a single point and you draw it from there, but apparently I got it wrong anyways. And the head is bowed down in a quarter view, so isn't one eye supposed to look smaller than the other due to perspective?

Not all artists would think what was bolded, there. Some would just aim to piece out how something actually works through feedback on several drawings that portray the same thing from different angles or such. It's that whole "put the pieces of the puzzle together to get the big picture" mentality.
And as great as it would be to just look up resources (read: books) on general anatomy, the great majority (if not the entirety) of said resources would be just incomprehensible(or have no lasting helpfulness) to some aspiring students. Why is this? Well, it's not like there is only one or zero people in the world who can't understand jack shit from oft-reccomended resources, same way that a great many people can't have their psychological issues solved by any variety of visits to the shrink.
@fondue: It's not an argument, so don't feel bad. It's a discussion :)
-

And by 'some' you mean yourself, right? You have this recurring problem where you generalize your personal experience to 'some' or even 'a great many.' Not only do you have no way of knowing whether this is accurate, but it's not helpful to anyone, least of all you. That is to say, there's an important difference between A) "This source/advice is vague/unhelpful" and B) "I don't understand this."
A is what you are doing. It implies the problem is with the advice-giver; it's speculative and quite probably inaccurate; it can put the advice-giver on the defensive and derail the discussion.
B invites further explanation. It's the only option that's constructive, i.e. that focuses the conversation where it belongs: on figuring out what you're doing wrong and how to fix it.
-
I meant myself and whoever else shares the same problem. I don't think only of myself, you know. I may not have a perfectly solid source on its accuracy, but it's pretty common sense to think that the problem of "not being able to comprehend what a kind of book is teaching you" isn't restricted to one person, if you think about it. I mean, otherwise people couldn't claim that a person's psychological issues are not unique to them and not get called out on it. Though I guess you're right in that I did deliver my message the wrong way, that it's not helpful, and that I should've done it as you pointed out in B. So, allow me to rephrase:
What am I supposed to do to make myself comprehend what drawing books are trying to communicate to me? Merely rereading it seems to have no effect. Perhaps others who share my problem can make good use of the solution, as well.
-
oh wow i post a derpy kemono drawing and i stir up an argument :( Sorry
You didn't. :V
-
@Hawflakes
Yes that was the point i intended to convey. I do give a drection of where to start sometimes (start with the skull, etc.), but I don't think pointing out things they got wrong would tell them anything other than "fix x".
@Espeon
If you understood how hair worked, you aren't acting on it. Like i said, draw guides. Lines that go from the root of the hair to the direction you think that one clump of hair should go to.
And really, i think you should stop asking questions and get to hands on. If you can get yourself a skull reference of the same angle, you can see for yourself if one eyesocket is magically smaller than the other. I can't tell you everything. Hands on is there for a reason.
Anyway, let's stop this 'discussion' and just take it easy. If anyone wants me to elaborate on the critique I give, I don't mind doing so. I don't post to say "lolanatomy" and fly out in a flamboyant pink penguin cape all the while laughing to myself in a deep opera voice, I post to offer critique and advice that I think would be at least of some use to the artist, as well as my own opinion. If there are any problems with how I do things, take it up with me on pm.
-
the great majority (if not the entirety) of said resources would be just incomprehensible(or have no lasting helpfulness) to some aspiring students.
What?! A find minute google will find you a million of resources a 5-year old would understand. I'm not even an artist and I have 3 or 4 books on anatomy going from "so simple it's literally told in comic book form" to "medical-level detailed anatomy"
-
And as great as it would be to just look up resources (read: books) on general anatomy, the great majority (if not the entirety) of said resources would be just incomprehensible(or have no lasting helpfulness) to some aspiring students.
Then those aspiring students just aren't suited to this hobby. It's like telling a mathematician to write a treatise on kittens.

Well, Pirate decided to show me this thread for whatever reason and asked me to review some artists so I guess I'll oblige and look over the ones he looked over already.
Honest Espeon
A quick look at your Tenshi picture says that you don't have a solid grasp on the bones and outlying muscles that shape the human body. The signs are everywhere - the lack of knuckles or tendons in the hands, the lack of defined wrists, the lack of visible knees and tendons on the neck (skippable if your style prefers very slender necks), and the various features of the head, such as the nose and mouth not aligned with the way the skull should be shaping the head at its current angle (about 40-50 degrees to the right and 30 degrees down). The eyes are also a bit low on that skull.
Before fixing anything else, you need to get to work on being able to shape the more subtle parts of the human body. You have visible forearms, thighs and calves...and that's about it. A quick look at your own body (provided your build is similar to Tenko's) should reveal the parts of the body that need more definitive shape. The more (correct!) detail you have, the better.
I would also suggest not drawing clothes at the same time as drawing the body, which is what I assume happened because it looks like Tenko is sporting football gear around her shoulders. And those breasts are not shaped properly given that pose.
If you actually want some detailed critique, it would be wise to give examples of your preferred methods when you draw. What is the base you start out with? Do you use basic geometrical shapes? Do you just draw according to feel? The more information we have, the more advice we can provide, and the better the chances that something will come up to be of use to you.
☯The Embodiment of fondue☯
Animal anatomy isn't my specialty as I've not laid eyes on many animals in reality, but your picture does indeed give off a very western-cartoonish feeling to it. Giving it a more 'eastern style' feeling would depend on what you plan to achieve with this drawing. Do you want this to be more animal than humanoid, or the other way around? Do you want to emphasize that this creature is from the east, or just that your drawing style of this sketch looks like it was influenced by eastern art?
Specifics, please. When drawings become more about style and creativity than realism, it helps to have as much information as possible to guide your sketch to what you want it to be.
Arkeden
Pirate hit upon several valid points but I'm too lazy to sort them out so I'll just rewrite the ones I agreed with, along with a few of my own observations.
Okuu's right shoulder is much thicker than her left. That armpit should be higher, which should in turn affect the location of the breasts. When the shoulder is raised, the breasts should be farther apart and slightly higher. And this is after you fix the general angle of the upper and lower torso.
To be specific, it looks like you are having trouble striking a common angle for Okuu. The head is at a 90 degree angle from the center, the shoulders are about 30 degrees off center, the upper torso is about 50 degrees off center, and the lower torso is about 10 degrees off. The head aside, the torso needs a bit of work.
The angle from which Okuu's right arm protrudes from her shoulder does not at all match what seems to be an arm with absolutely no foreshortening.
Cirno's a much bigger problem since she's not very defined and what I see right now does not at all match up with a human body. I would ask for a redraw on that since fixing it would take more work.
To everyone involved in the argument about how2art, just keep in mind that not everyone learns how to draw using the same steps or tutorials and such. Everyone has their Achilles' Heel when it comes to drawing, and sometimes it takes special methods to overcome it. But regardless, what you absolutely must need is attention to detail and a patient mind and heart. Your drawing only gets as far as you do.

@HakureiSM: Apparently, there are exceptions to how supposedly easy it is to learn general concepts about drawing and applying them for well-paced improvement over time.
@Kinoko: That analogy implies that those far from a decent fit for art might as well give up. Way back when, something similar could've been said about those who can learn from those dry programming texts and those who couldn't. Nowadays, with new learning materials that are so accessible, clear, and non-dry to aspiring programmers, you can see a boom in the amount of people able to program. Of course, that's not counting those university graduates who turn out to suck at their jobs due to bad advisement... (http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2007/02/why-cant-programmers-program.html) But I digress.
The point is, that sure, some people may not be nearly apt for some things as others, but that wouldn't be so much of an issue if learning resources for drawing had progressed as far as those for programming. There are even IRC networks and channels dedicated to helping budding programmers blossom into splendid writers of tomorrow's software in a specific programming language. Nothing similar exists for art students.
@Saber Nero:
Yeah, you're right about my lack of knowledge about the underlying bone structures. My build's not the same as Tenko's, so I can't go that route. Best I can use it for is hands and arms, of which the shapes can be easily-enough altered due to what knowledge of the bone structures I do have. ...I thought I drew the breast shape decently ok, since the arms push against the sides of the torso, causing the breasts to be pushed together and seem taller(saggier?) compared to in a plain standing pose. Apparently not xD
And no, I don't draw clothes at the same time as the body; it's after that. Before I can describe my preferred methods, please explain what you mean by drawing according to feel.
Thanks for the input! :)

You're being a little too dismissive, don't you think? What do you think ConceptArt (http://forums.conceptart.org/) is there for? What do you make of all the tutorials and other resources (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,12285.0.html) linked here, and the literally thousands more that we haven't found yet? And if art instruction is stagnating like you say, then how is it that more artists are drawing than at any previous time in history? (NAMTA (http://www.namta.org/files/public/Mrkt_Stdy_ExecSum.pdf) estimates there are 4.4 million in the U.S. alone.) Do they have access to some wondrous magical source that you don't? Of course not. You're still incapable of getting outside your own perspective: if you're having trouble learning, then it's not your fault, it's the materials' fault. I'm not an art teacher and I still find that patronizing and offensive.
As to what Saber Nero said, I think what she wants to see is your basic drafts--that is, the stick figures and simple shapes that you're building your figures out of. You know, these (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v130/crapitalism/Artwork/posepractice.jpg) things (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v130/crapitalism/Artwork/madoka-shibarikini-draft.jpg)? The reason is that an error setting up the construction results in an error in the lineart, which results in an error in the shading, and so on. This is why artists will sometimes tell you to scrap a piece and start over from scratch. It's not because they're being mean, it's because erasing and redrawing a few lines isn't going to fix an error that goes to the fundamentals.
-
First off, I wasn't saying it was the materials' fault, or that art instruction is stagnating. That's not at all what I meant. If I were to pin the blame on anything, it's be whatever sort of brain issue(s) that makes it so hard for someone like me to comprehend these materials which are actually rather good (since everyone else seems to get them). And, you have a recurring problem of implying I'm looking for some wondrous magical thing that's make one a great artist right away, when I never really even asked for that. I find that patronizing and offensive. I work hard and long at many of my drawings, too, making it hurt somewhat more.
I have a hard time understanding the layout of ConceptArt, so please excuse me if I couldn't count that as such a great resource at the time. My bad : < Though you may be onto something about that specific closemindedness; it's something I've been working to fix, with all that's available to me, anyway.
Also, nobody told me to scrap a piece and start over from scratch, but maybe that woulda been for the best, huh? ^^; I'll do that for my Tenko, then. As for the drafts, I'll pull those up later; it's early in the morning and I need some rest.
Thank you for the wisdom!

I don't really understand the emphasizing and influence part though. :I
Basicially I want to know how to draw a beastman where he has humanoid features, but you can clearly see he has animal features (for instance a dog snout, ears, tail, furry skin) but he has a humanoid build, with human hands, human feet, human arms... etc.
I do kinda would like the creature to be from the east. Basicially: Ran Yakumo + fox ears + fox snout + furry skin = what I want.
I don't know how to be more specific :[
e: The art I would like to accomplish is something you'd see in an STG game. She my avatar for reference.

Holy crap, they really are

I used to tell myself that too. In fact, on one occasion 9 years ago, I said as such--in many of the same words, even--to someone who criticized one of my pictures (http://i.imgur.com/LSxdKeb.jpg) on the grounds that I "hadn't even been trying to improve." I resented that assertion because gee, I'd spent like two, three hours on that picture. I had no way of knowing that I would one day be spending 55 hours on a picture.* (http://maullart.tumblr.com/post/35502860588/i-may-have-missed-my-target-date-juuuuuust) Or that I would spend countless hours and pieces of paper more doing very basic drills, before moving up to figurines (http://i.imgur.com/mWya5qK.jpg) and then to live models. (http://i.imgur.com/LxUdEGL.jpg) It sucked, but that's what it takes. Now I realize how little of an idea I had back then what it means to work hard at art.
* Don't worry, I'm down to like 6-8 hours by now
Now do you understand why I'm being stern? It's because I made literally every newbie mistake you can make, and I don't like seeing other people walk into the same traps.
-
I find the best way to accept critique without feeling all down or offended is to simply have zero sense of ego and pride. Can't get offended when you don't have a reason to be. I still have some remnants of those left over though, might have to do something about that.
Alternatively, you can avoid the sting if you have the capability and eye to spot your own mistakes. An artist on DA once noted that he doesn't quite feel the point of being critiqued by others, preferring to do it himself. I'll tell you that his works are bordering on photorealism. Only better.
-
Cirno's a much bigger problem since she's not very defined and what I see right now does not at all match up with a human body. I would ask for a redraw on that since fixing it would take more work.
I tried adjusting the major problem, Cirno first.

I don't draw clothes at the same time as the body; it's after that. Before I can describe my preferred methods, please explain what you mean by drawing according to feel.
Drawing by feel just means you don't start with a base of any sort, but rather just sit down and draw an entire object or character without any prior reference or basic shape, only with the use of one's memory and experience. There are thousands of artists who can do this, and some of them even take it a step further and do speed drawing. Of course, it's not for everyone, and even the ones that do their art this way can end up with glaring issues as well.
What I meant was pretty much what Maullar described. I want to see the step-by-step processes you take when you create a sketch. If it happens that your base is wrong, then you've screwed up on square one and need to start over, otherwise you end up with the crazy amount of problems that I observed in that Tenko sketch.
Also - what exactly are you having problems with regarding reference materials and tutorials? I've been hearing you say that you can't understand them for the last 2 pages now but I've yet to see any examples. Like I said before, the more information we have, the better.
Basicially I want to know how to draw a beastman where he has humanoid features, but you can clearly see he has animal features (for instance a dog snout, ears, tail, furry skin) but he has a humanoid build, with human hands, human feet, human arms... etc.

The first and closest thing that comes to mind is this anime (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=5557). Obviously, it's not the only way to do it and it may not fit with your own drawing style, but you can at least use it for reference to look for the major differences in your drawing.
In your drawing specifically, I would suggest finer details with the hair, more blending rather than a solid line that marks the area where the dark colored hair meets the light colored hair. The snout also needs to protrude farther out from the skull. The skull itself is shaped like a cone or cylinder rather than a cone that sits on a sphere, which is what the head on your character looks like at the moment.

I don't know what to say to that, honestly. The foot continues to be a major issue because feet are supposed to be thicker than that. The shoulder should also be a small bit thicker given the tension on the arm. And the dress lazily covers the rest and I'm not going to try to bother following lines under it.
I'm not going to mention anything else on Okuu since you haven't worked on fixes yet but I will say it's a bad idea to put clothes on something that isn't fixed yet because it's most likely going to take longer to finish in the long run. The angles I mentioned beforehand for Okuu are affecting the clothes you are putting on her (ie. doesn't make much sense if you look at it).

I'm just surprised that this thread became similar to the art tip thread. OAO :getdown:
Calm down guys, It's up to the artist whether he/she wants to follow the tips or not. >.<;

(Also Shun's blending of hair when a dark part meets a white part is designed to be like that)

If you don't get what I'm talking about for the shape of the skull, click me. (https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1280&bih=759&q=skull+of+a+fox&oq=skull+of+a+fox&gs_l=img.3..0.2090.3517.0.3728.14.10.0.3.3.0.151.830.7j3.10.0...0.0...1ac.1.11.img.Yu8DKh_gd7g)
Like I always say, the more detail, the better. I don't mean deviate entirely from the border where the light fur meets the dark. But I would think it would be better if you didn't just make it one straight thick line to differentiate between the two colors. At least, I haven't really seen much of that in natural fur.

@MaullarMaullar: Yeah, I think I see, somewhat. Though, could you elaborate on what kind of newbie mistakes you were talking about? I got what you meant by "3 hours isnt such hard work for a whole drawing", but what other "traps"? I'm left kinda confused about that, is all. :/
@Saber Nero: Oh, I see. Well, then I do draw my feel sometimes, though never for the whole process. As for the basic stuff, here: I start with a stick figure skeleton (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/17/skeletons.png/), draw neck by feel, use an oval-ish shape for the torso, cylinders for the arms (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/10/basicshapesused.png/). I think the rest of the process doesnt need its pics be shown (but feel free to ask for them), but after that I draw the rest of the body and clothes based on figure refs I studied a while back, and other artists' ways of drawing clothes (especially the shoulders). I often pose in the mirror to get an idea on how to execute some part of the anatomy (though only for the top half of the body). Also, other artists' pics for the hip shape, arm shape, and breast details.
@kinoko: fat foreheads can be pretty charming :V
@Kaze: Yeah, since from that view, there are those temporal fossas at the sides of the head that make the eye placement slightly different. :P
@d13: It looks great! Ever gonna color it?

The earlier Manga Studio versions were incredibly horrible for colouring! Some friends had told me that the current version has fixed that, and guess what... it's true.

I'll have to experiment, then. I don't really like doing fills (tones or colors) in Manga Studio because the magic wand is so damn finicky. Or rather, the pen tool leaves lots of little gaps and so the magic wand ends up selecting the whole canvas.

I do see that you wanted to make the breast look like they were popping out of her top, but the way it looks right now is like bad breast binding.

What's amazing is that I had to practically ransack my own house just find one. e: wait nevermind.
Anyway, here's my foot. (http://tombas-sunder.deviantart.com/art/Untitled-374982861)
I don't know how to draw foot so it looks pretty good for me :P

Thanks for the feedback!
@kinoko: Hm, I've seen similar in other pics, though I understand what you meant about me misunderstanding the refs. If it's not too much to ask, could you provide a redline of it done more correctly?
@SuperParadox: I'll add those in my list of things to study.

I'm not talking about the drawing itself. The design is awful. Please give her a top that fits.
-
So it's the top? I'll take what you said into consideration, though I'd appreciate it if you'd avoid using words that are pretty harsh, like "awful" to describe something. ^^;

(S)he is Kinoko, deal with it.
(I'm confused about the gender now :/ )
-
Yeah, but less harshness wouldn't hurt :V
Also, I'd like to know what in my earlier drawing I did more-or-less correctly.
-
You're just gonna have to accept the fact that Kinoko is the Simon Cowell of AAA.
To be perfectly honest Espeon, although you are improving, I can't actually point at something in the drawing and say, "You did this correctly." On whole, the character looks kind of weird and stretched out from the sides.
Her face doesn't fit her head, her hair looks awkward, and her torso-hip anatomy just looks off. I can't give you specific corrections - I'm not sure I would know where to start. I can only suggest you study individual body parts more before going for a fuller picture like this.
One thing I can correct - her collarbone should not be slanted up towards the center. It should definitely be more level, and if slanted at all, slanted slightly down towards the center.
-
@HonestEspeon maybe it's a good idea to draw a nude woman and compare with some real nude model. This way you can see your flaws, when I got some time I'll try to do this too.
-
@Hawflakes: Fair enough, and I appreciate the feedback. I'll especially keep in mind that collarbone thing; I've an explanation as to why I thought the collarbone was to be slanted, but I guess that wouldn't really matter much ^^;
@Kaze_Senshi: good idea! I'll try that sometime :)

@Savory From what I can see from you, it seems like you've been putting out somewhat identical works. Given your style, which is pretty lacking in detail, simply drawing these over and over is going to hamper your improvement.
I suggest you should try experimenting, try out a different style that includes more detail, as well as more dynamic, interesting poses.
P.S You might want to...cut down on the fat. Just my opinion.

Shhhh it's his fetish, let the man do what he wants
-
I like Savory's style. He may not be learning how to draw other things and styles, but I don't think he's really concerned about drawing those anyway.
-
There's also no problem with a little meat on someone's bones :V
-

Whether his style is appreciated or not is irrelevant. I'm sure improvement is the biggest goal for any artist, and the fact that he's pigeonholing himself in his own style along with uninspired, static poses is going to hamper that goal.
-
He's improved, and I think it's cute.
Besides, you could say the same about any animu artist.

Orin with big boobs? What is this sorcery :O
-
...and the fact that he's pigeonholing himself in his own style along with uninspired, static poses is going to hamper that goal.
I'll keep my style, thank you very much. However, I am not above practicing different poses. I did so with Meiling.
And you are correct in saying that appreciation is a moot point. I will still keep trying to improve myself. Orin's pose only looks bland because I just felt the need to draw something, anything at all. However, I am proud at how her hands and the frills came out. I'm...not very good at that.
P.S You might want to...cut down on the fat. Just my opinion.
Hahahaha.
My old style made the characters rather skinny. Not going back to that again.

It looks pretty good, it reminds me a fighting stage. Someone should create a fighting game with your backgrounds.

I don't know which impresses me more---that you actually know what Magi-Nation is/was or that you got to work on the GBC game of it. :o

Where are her internal organs?
-
Where are her internal organs?
It could just be stylized. Not every style incorporates realistic anatomy.
-
Yeah, but there's a limit to how far you can go without looking silly.
-
It isn't that bad, though. It's plausible, at least.
-
That reasoning won't work here, because it's not even plausible. I can give a few examples myself.
-Yukari here looks anorexic, yet when she arches her back her ribcage is hardly seen.
-The stomach looks like it has an abundace of fat even when her arms look bony.
-Ass starts too early. You can see the bulge at the back just under where the navel is.
-boobs are angled wrong.
-wrong calf shape.
-uncomfortable position.
This looks more like anatomical fallacies than 'stylistic choice', whatever that means. It's a giant under consideration of what the human body is made up of.
-
-Yukari here looks anorexic
you really gonna use eating disorders as criticism buddy ≖‿≖
Regardless, it's not perfect. No shit. There's not really any reason to be so harsh, though.
You can give criticism without being a big 'ol jerk dingus.
-
My point is that you cannot simply wave away such errors as 'stylistic choice'.
I'm only pointing out the flaws. I have no problem with yukari looking excessively thin, but when other parts of the body simply don't fit with that, then that's a mistake that requires pointing out and correction.
If my being straight forward doesn't sit well with you...well, excuse me then.
-
To be honest, I find the picture to be pretty incoherent myself. The anatomy unfortunately creates a lot of dissonance with the otherwise good coloring and shading.
I found NotaPirate's critique to be perfectly fine. There are a lot of issues in the picture that are best addressed quickly and bluntly. And looking at Derpius' past works, I think he has enough experience to take this kind of criticism.
-
Not to mention the convenient hiding of both hands looks lazy. One? Okay, fine. Two? You're not even trying.
-
while being lazy is not a virtue judging ones piece on whether they hide hands or not is kind of unfair because everyone draws things at their own pace, thats like judging 90% of the artwork to be bad because they dont have backgrounds... backgrounds are hard yes? so are hands to lots of people
on the yukari my only comment is that her torso is looooooong but otherwise i dont really have any issues, not everyone knows how to shade a ribcage etc
-
>kinoko & pirate
>non-harsh criticism
pick one.
-
I think that Yukari looks good too.
@kinoko: but silly is fun :<
@Biohazurd: Their criticism can be reworded to be less harsh yet still keep the essence of importance in it. Besides, most of what kinoko and pirate said isn't harsh, but rather neutral. o_o I'd say all that feedback needs is some pointers on making the picture more anatomically-correct.

One question about anatomy based in this pic, is it possible to cross-legs like she is doing on the drawing? Her thighs are almost at the same height so it looks that her knee is dislocated.
-
It's not. That was what I meant by uncomfortable pose, but when i took a look at it again I realised that the only way to do this is if yukari had curved legs.
-
holy smokes
-
ITT: No one has ever crossed their legs over the knee.
You're not even trying.
Hi, I know it's kind of your schtick to drop these dismissive, super-short posts on people, but try and learn what "criticism" means.
This goes for anyone, really: it's fun and easy to be snarky, dismissive, and come up with colorful comparisons to eating disorders in describing someone's drawing style. Try instead to point out what's wrong, why, and what can be changed. The shittiness around here has made folks reluctant to share anything at all.
-
Well that escalated quickly. This is also the crappiest greeting I've ever gotten.
Guess I'll say few things too, I would feel bad if I said nothing.
I think he has enough experience to take this kind of criticism.
Art isn't a field full of weirdos who mercilessly shake eachother down, please don't buy into that stereotype, real life isn't a Gordon Ramsay tv show. There is still such a thing as good and bad critique. In a good critique, the person attempts to address the flaws in the drawing in ways that is both positive and persuasive. The goal is to pass on personal experience and hope it reaches the artist. Bad critique is what this page is full of. Blunt, mostly unhelpful, and needlessly abrasive. Out of respect for the person who spent effort to draw, it's proper etiquette to take the time to craft a proper response.
Also, I'm not trying to downplay anatomy, it's pretty important and I made crappy mistakes, but there is more to art than anatomy all day everyday. Anatomy is just something you improve at as you practice or put more time/effort into a painting, and quite frankly, anatomical mishaps happen all the time, being fully absorbed into that one tiny facet of art is insanity, there are many other components to art to concern yourselves over. I say this because everyone here seems to be really into anatomy.
Haven't had time to draw more yet, been busy at work, so here's an older Touhou related painting.

I do agree that bad/unhelpful critique exists, and I don't excuse it either. But I still wouldn't say blunt counts as bad. Being polite is certainly helpful to the artist, but if I draw a girl with a freakishly terrible arm, sometimes the best thing someone can say to me is simply, "That arm is completely off in every single aspect, especially because it's way too long. This picture can't be redeemed."
Even better when the person points out various flaws. It gets straight to the point and its boldness reflects just how demanding the need is for me to get it right.
Bad critique, to me at least, is generally when someone doesn't explain their dislike for a piece, or tells the artist to give up.
-

I suppose it's a different expectation from a different person, but from my perspective it would be more useful to the person if I were to first say it's all wrong, politely, point the person to some proper resources that is suitable for their level of experience and then give them some personal advice. For instance I know a general beginners tip is to draw using pencil and eschew digital altogether because using Undo is way too convenient and doesn't challenge the learner to do things correctly the first time.Then I'll cross my fingers and hope that that nudges the person in the right direction.
I would say all that because anatomy is fickle and I don't want someone to lose interest in art or become too frightened to seek advice simply because of anatomy. It's a highly technical aspect and I've seen commercial pieces where the anatomy was fudged and the piece was done by a well known artist. That is how hard anatomy is, it's something that requires practice and study, it's not something that improves leaps and bounds because some guy on the internet bluntly pointed it out to you. So I honestly don't feel it's bad for someone to make irredeemably jank art. and indeed if you're a beginner everything you do will be crappy, lets face it, that's the truth, and you will churn out crappy art for months and months and possibly years to come depending on how much effort you can afford to invest in the hobby. At that stage I would rather get encouraging advice than something kind of blunt and discouraging that plays with your mood.
And if you want me to be totally ruthless, if the only thing a person can do is call out on anatomical mistakes yet is unable to conjure up a piece of advice or point the artist in the right direction then not only is it really mediocre advice but I would say it also puts the person's own technical competence into question and what business they have giving art advice to someone. You don't have to be a master chef to know that food is bad, but the master chef wouldn't take cooking lessons from that guy either.
