I finally got around to this.
So let's get going shall we?
Note: Most of the colouring I do isn't done with my lineart. Generally I find them on some place like DA or something.
Some pencil art.
[attachimg=1 align=left width=400]
[attachimg=2 align=left width=400]
And some colouring (not my lineart).
[attachimg=3 align=left width=400]
[attachimg=4 align=left width=400]
P.S:Sorry if the pics are too big.
-
I would really like some feedback you know....
-
Don't fret; and I mean this in the kindest way possible! (I don't want to sound rude, that's all...)
I am not good at giving feedback, but I will try to do my best.
For the Kaguya drawing, for some odd reason, it looks like her head and neck is resting on her right shoulder. I would suggest moving it over to the left a bit to make it more centered. (Also, DAT HANDWRITING.)
Marisa doesn't really look like she's sitting on top of the broom, since the broom is shown in front of her butt, not under it. I think if you added a little more curvature to her bottom so that a little less of the broom is showing, it'll be fine.
I really like the way you color! Do you mind telling me how you make the clothes look silky like the way it is in the Reimu and Yukari picture? It looks really nice.
-
I'm fine with that feedback, especially since it's one of the first feedback comments I've ever had on MotK.
I think wht happened with the silky dress is that I used to make the lighting on dresses really wide but my sister said it looked a bit weird and she told me instead to do a much thinner line. So I decided to try that I that ended up happening. I think I had the normal colour of the dress and then I put lots of shades into it and blended them up so it made more of a thin line along where the light hits the dress. I was really surprised that it turned out like that. But as you can see, I didn't have much luck with Yukari.
About Kaguya: I think I tried to do it as if she is leaning back a bit while the rest of her body is a bit more head-on. But now that you mention it, it does look a bit weird.
Marisa: I had a bit of an ass crack for her but it looked kinda funny so I took it out (now she can't shit).
And the hand writing is so fun to do. Copperplate especially.
Also if you're wondering why Kaggy doesn't have any eyes. It's because generally when I draw eyes on faces, it ruins the whole pic. I can do eyes and faces but not together.
-
Interesting; I'll have to try that next time I get to coloring something.
Actually, I think the lack of eyes for Kaguya sort of fits the mood for the picture. Makes her look serious, like she means business or something. :V
Do you draw the face first and then the eyes? If so, you should try drawing the eyes first, then the face and see how that works out for you.
-
It's not neccesarily tha tthe eyes don't fit with the face, it's more that they don't look the same. They're generally different sizes and have different shapes (even when they're head-on). But they don't seem too bad when there is no face to go with it. But I do generally draw the face first.
Also are there any characters that anyone wants me to draw?
-
I'd like to see you draw Komachi. I don't see too many people draw her here too often. (Or maybe I'm not looking hard enough.)
But seriously, you should try drawing faces with eyes, or you're never going to get better at drawing them. Since you're having trouble making the eyes look the same, I would suggest practicing by drawing just a pair of eyes. You can also look at pictures for reference (from say, a favorite artist) or, - I don't know if this works - try copying them? (Not trace them.)
Once you get better at that, you can add the face to it. Or in your case, face then eyes.
-
Because Aoshi is the best ~
[attach=1]
She looks a bit skinny. Her arms look weird. Her hand sucks. And she has no legs.
Plus her scythe got redesigned.
Also Aoshi, that idea sounds interesting. I might try it sometime.
-
Wow, that was fast. Thank you!
I think the arms are weird because they are a little thin, and the shoulder doesn't look properly connected to the body. (I think if her right shoulder was "overlapping" the body just a tiny bit, and the left shoulder was a little hidden behind the body, it should be perfect. In a 1/2 turn, the shoulder farthest from the viewer shouldn't be completely visible, otherwise it'll look like the body is front facing the viewer.)
Also, hands are....difficult to draw, as a nice way of saying it, so you shouldn't feel bad about that. :V
-
Yay Aoshi~
Got anymore suggestions?
And yes hands are difficult to draw.
-
If no one pops in the thread for a suggestion or two, I have a few ideas that'll keep you a little busy:
Reimu trying to complete her broom sweeping duties but is interrupted/annoyed by Marisa.
One of the new Ten Desires characters. (Preferibly Yoshika, 'cause she's cute. :3 )
Touhou crossover of your favorite TV show or book or anime, etc, etc...
And since I'm about to go to bed here in a minute, a sleepy PC - 98 Yuuka in Pj's.
Ack, this almost looks like too much to draw. :ohdear:
In that case, take as long as you want or just choose from these ideas.
-
I'll start ASAP!
EDIT: Pretty much done Yuuka now. the way she is sleeping looks really funny, but I still sleep like that sometimes.
EDIT2: Finishing Yoshika now. There are two huge jokes in there. I'll post it soon.
-
Here are the pics.
[attach=1][attach=2]
Sorry if Yuuka is a bit hard to see.
-
:teaspit:
Wow, that was fast. Yuuka is adorable~
You might wanna shift Yoshika's right arm up a few mm because it doesn't look like its connected straight into the shoulder. Otherwise, both are looking good!
-
Did you get the joke?
Also the speed of the drawings was because I had nothing else to do.
I really wish I had the Resident Artist title. My profile's a bit bare.
Hey Aoshi, I probably won't get round to doing the other suggestions yet. I want to focus on one person in a pic at a time.
So do you have any other suggestions?
-
Somebody asked me to draw a pic of their new Siberian Husky for about $50-$60. Wow this is my first time.
I'll post the results if good enough.
-
Finished drawing the 4th and 6th boss of TD. Beware of spoilers.
[attach=2][attach=1]
EDIT: Done a much better version of the stage 6 boss. Will upload tomorrow.
-
:toot::toot::toot::toot:
Resident Artist ++++++ get!!!!!!
Now that I'm a resident artist, I should really keep more updated on my thread.
Also you guys should look at my thread more often. I could really do with more suggestions.
-
Aoshi suggested I draw a picture to commemorate the event.
So I did.
[attach=1]
-
Once again, congrats on getting the tag!
And don't thank me. :< I haven't done anything that important other than just suggest things for you to draw.
-
That's one of the reasons why I thanked you.
You're basically the only person who has really suggested things for me to draw.
You're also basically the only person who has given me feedback on my drawings.
And you're also a really nice person.
You are one of the most awesome poeple on this forum as far as I'm concerned.
-
:colbert:
I don't know what to draw.
Somebody help!
-
Rika & Evil Eye Sigma! :derp:
No really; do it. :3
-
:o :o :o :o :o :o
Wow somebody other than Aoshi has finally posted in my thread.
:D
I'll get on it right away!
-
Yukarin is requesting for Yukari
Preferably megane.
GO
-
:D :D :D
Yay another request!!!
And perfect timing as I just finished Rika and EES. Uploading after I've done Yukari.
PCB or Post-PCB dress?
EDIT: Nevermind you went offline. So I'll just do her PCB dress.
EDIT2: Okay, I finished Yukari, so now I'll just upload them.
-
DURR PCB DRESS
OH WAIT YOU DID PCB DRESS I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
-
Here they are:
[attach=1][attach=2]
-
/me is terrified that Yukari was beheaded.
/me is amused in seeing her head on the lower side.
/me is happy.
-
/me is happy.
/me is happy.
Oh fuck I forgot megane!
Oh, well.
-
/me is happy.
Oh fuck I forgot megane!
Oh, well.
Megane can wait. You already amused me enough on the beheaded Yukari and stuff. I yelled "Goddamit Yukari!", actually.
Great job!
-
:D
Any more suggestions?
-
None. I'll think of more soon.
For now, practice, ne~?
-
Okay, I can wait :3
-
Victorique from Gosick
Do eeetttttt
EDIT: be back tomorrow because I be sleeping wooooooo
-
I've never heard of them before.
But I'll give it a go anyway. Just have to look them up first.
Although I might have to do it tomorrow (11:30PM here).
EDIT: Just looked at it. Holy fuck that dress is so fucking awesome!!!
-
Oh wow; good job on Sigma. Satori's eye has nothing on a GIANT EYEBALL TANK!
And I could have killed you when I saw Yukari like that... until I spotted her gap in the corner, to which GOD-DAMNIT YUKARI!
Pretty good on both actually.
Let's see you do one without a smile though... hmm... how about an angry Mima looming over Soga? Yes, I'm going there with this; but why not. :derp:
-
Here they are:
[attach=1][attach=2]
They have...eyes! HELL YEAH JOB!
Also, I would like to request a Yuyuko. Giant fan optional.
And I forget to mention if you ever got around to drawing the character design I mentioned in your other thread? Just wondering. :)
-
Oh yeah, I forgot.
Sorry Aoshi :ohdear:
I'll try and post it soon.
Also I'll get on the other request either now or a little later.
I'm so glad I'm finally getting more customers too :D
-
I've done Victorique and I've scanned Aoshi's request so I'll get on the other two a bit later.
@Aoshi:[attachimg=1 width=200]
@Yukarin:[attachimg=2 width=400]
-
Nice Victorique. I might actually change my name to Victorique when the time comes. I like her personality.
Also agree with the dress. It's so fluffy~!
-
Did you like the writing?
-
Sorry for being a bit late.
[attachimg=1 width=400]
[attachimg=2 width=400]
-
I need something to draw.
Why does nobody suggest much?
-
Kogasa.
GO
-
Yay! Suggestions!
I'll start it in a hour or so.
EDIT: I actually started earlier and have already finished.
I'll upload it in about 10 minutes.
-
'Ere it is!
[attachimg=1 width=400]
I decided to try and crop my pics from now on. Just to save some space.
Also I raised the contrast a bit so it might look weird.
-
I have a suggestion. Why don't you upload it on a photo sharing website and link from there? Or maybe it's a limitation? Wanna know why? The image I see stays blurry forever because thumbnails don't load as well for me.
So yeah. The Kogasa is good. One thing I like about your art is that you can just pur it out so effin' fast!
-
The thing with uploading on some website is that it takes too much time.
I'd rather just go straight from my scanner.
I'll try something quickly. See if that makes it better.
Also my drawings are fast because I have nothing else to do :3
EDIT: That better?
-
Way better.
-
:D
-
PC - 98 Reimu + Ying Yang Orbs Shenanigans!
Also, everything looks much cuter with eyes. Especially that Kogasa. So cute.
I would also like to mention that the contrast looks fine to me, with the lines being more visible and stuff. Although, have you considered opening your pictures up in paint and reduce the size down to about 70-80%? It'll save even more space, plus I'm not really comfortable with scrolling up and down and side to side to enjoy the whole picture. (Or maybe that's just me being difficult. Sorry! :ohdear: :ohdear:)
-
Aren't the new thumbnails good enough? Because wouldn't resizing make it look weird. I could try it but I might not guarantee it.
Also I'll do the PC-98 Reimu after I finish this Minoriko I started earlier.
EDIT: I finished both pics and I will upload them tomorrow.
-
Yeah, they're much better; but it's just that I think they're a little too big. (I don't know how everyone else feels on the matter. Maybe it's just me?)
But if you're just fine with the thumbnails, then I'll just drop the matter entirely.
Also, how does resizing it make it look weird? It shouldn't be so small you can't the details and stuff on it.
-
I could maybe try adjusting the number of pixels in the thumbnail then. That should make a difference.
Also pics will come soon. I forgot to upload them.
-
Here are the pics:
[attachimg=1 width=350]
[attachimg=2 width=350]
No legs for Minoriko because I still can't do them well yet and I didn't want to ruin the pic.
-
Hey, practice makes perfect! You've improved in the past few months.
-
You've improved in the past few months.
And to keep the pace going, I request....
SUWANEKO!!
And then, Cirno meeeeeeltiiing...when you're not busy~
-
Hey, practice makes perfect! You've improved in the past few months.
:o
Someone else has posted in this thread. Yay!
As for Aoshi I'll get on it sometime today hopefully.
-
So I've been looking at some video tutorials on how to draw stuff....
[attachimg=1 width=400]
This'll give you something to talk about.
And don't worry Aoshi, I haven't forgotten about you.
-
Job, you know of this artist named "Mark Crilley"?
He has awesome tutorials for these types of things. Check him out on youtube, maybe it can help you improve your drawing!
-
That was exactly the artist who I saw.
Although I don't really like the way he does anime hair.
-
You can use the principles he uses and make your own variant. It's your art style, do what is most comfortable to you.
-
I got a DeviantArt(finally).
Only three pictures are in there though.
http://omofthenom.deviantart.com/
@Aoshi: I've been on a bit of a drawing hiatus and I think I've temporarily lost skills. I'd rather wait till I can draw again before doing it.
-
I haven't been drawing much lately, I'm trying to get back into it.
Have a heart while you're waiting.
[attachimg=1 width=400]

It's been so long since I last uploaded a pic.
Here, have a slightly more gothic version of Miko's dress.
