>>7172720thank you. I did have a scanner once but it was no good. maybe I should get a dedicated one and try my luck.
>>7172731I use adobe scan app + automatic enhancement on photo app for my pencil works >>7172687I don't have time to wait for a scanner and send it to my computer kek. Best of luck, anon!!!
>>7172733photoscan app pic vs unaltered photo. I erased a line for the right one doe. is pretty neat
>>7173073Very nice, though I recommend improving the hand that's grabbing the string and to add some fun line weight.
>>7173979Yeah I can try fixing the hand when I get home for sure. As for the lineweight do you mean the rope specifically or the entire picture overall?
WIP c:
>>7174010The picture overall, I feel like if the lines on the legs were more dramatic (following the weight you already have) it'd really pop.
>>7174131Yeah I'll give it a once over when I get back home. Thanks anon!

>>7189174I really like your work. What do you study from?
>>7189183catgirl
>>7189224thanks anon. i found my own way of doing things, but I can try explain my method if you're interested
>>7189257If you'd be so kind as to do that, I'd appreciate it
>>7189272i'll try write some stuff, in the meanwhile i recommend reading this post. >>7172866
>>7189293Thanks, I appreciate it. You don't have to write anything more unless you have anything else to add
>>7189302I'll explain the philosophy first, and then the method, because if your thinking doesn't change you'll never use it.You have to think its good to avoid failure. I'm well aware this is the opposite of what people usually tell you. usually people say its okay to fail, that you should fail faster even, because its good to fail, as you learn from your mistakes. More mistakes? more learning, so fail faster! Well if you think about it for just 2 seconds, its very stupid advice.Mistakes... aren't... good? Like at all. There no redeeming qualities found in them, mistakes only "provide value" when you finally learn to stop making them. No really, think about it, you only learn from your mistakes when you don't make the mistake anymore. That's what that saying means. Simply put, if you aren't avoiding making mistakes, then you don't actually learn from your mistakes, because you're going to keep doing them. It's actually good to avoid making mistakes. Please know I'm saying something very literal here like math not emotion, I'm not asking you to be afraid of failure or become a perfectionist or something, just to admit basic logic. I'm actually a very easy going person personally, like the opposite of a perfectionist, but I don't cope, I think failure is just a bad thing with no redeeming qualities."More mistakes you avoid = more gooder."You shouldn't think that this means oh I just hate innovation, or something something about a comfort zone. You should think "well duh, no shit". (1/2)
Now that you are thinking with clarity, I can show the method, which is how to avoid failure. As you can imagine... if you didn't think it was good to avoid failure, you'd never use this method. Your thinking had to change first. In a nutshell: actually notice what doesn't work from now on, and don't do it anymore.the method is based on 3 things:1: Constant, conscious awareness while drawing. You need to notice what and where you tend to mess up. You should be able to notice what tends to put you on the path towards frustration. Also, what tends to work usually. I recommend looking back at your previous works to help with this too. You need to notice it every time where you mess up if you want to avoid failure in the future!2: develop associations based on patterns you notice. ie "every time I draw eyes like this, I subtly dislike the drawing, even though I thought it was an interesting way of doing it." or "Every time I do the hair this way, it always comes out super cute and I love it." or "I learn nothing after spamming these ref copies, every time i do them." or "even though I think huge boobs is lewd, my moderate ones come out lewder in practice." or "this literally never works."3: Once you've developed the associations, learn to act on those associations in practice. If you realize you're about to draw something you recall usually doesn't work, CATCH YOURSELF. stop, reorient, do it different. Maybe try something with a higher success rate? You'll know what that is, because you've been paying attention to what works for you! About to do something and get frustrated over it? STOP! reorient, find a way off that path.Notice what works: act on the associationsIts actually fairly easy to do, no hard work required, just mindfulness. its a human operated neural network algorithm, it sorts out bad methods that tend to fail, and makes you do more good things that work in practice. kinda like osha guidelines for artists, where failures are the hazards. (2/2)
tl;dr I think avoiding failure is a good thing, so I actively consciously notice what doesn't work and try to do less of it, and actively notice what does work and try to do more of it, and I'm always noticing it.
WIP. Updating a ref of one of my OCs. Posting it here so I'm more motivated to finished.Planning on reworking the whole pose and possibly the face. Tried to sprinkle some of the magic that my favorite artist puts into his faces, but, for some reason, my attempts to replicate his style don't come that close (I will simply study more).Hopefully, something good will come out of this once I rework this... here's hoping!!!>>7189257>>7189249>>7189177>>7189176>>7189174>>7189173>>7189170SOVL>>7187884STYLISH>>7187817Based tradmaxxer.

>>7190137Good luck on your OC, anon. Thank you for your kind words, I'm rooting for you to finish!
>>7190037>>7190038>>7190043Thanks for the advice, sorry for not responding sooner. I really like your artstyle, and your perspective is really interesting. Saved this as a .txt file, I'll think about it more as I'm drawing

>>7191428very cute, i like how you painted the eyelashes.
>>7190137Finished!!! Very happy with this ref >:{}>>7191158Thanks anon!!! I love your style!!! Feels like it's pulled straight from the 90s!!!>>7191772Sick armor!!! Love the colors!!!
>>7192138Thanks a lot, the shadows made that piece a lot better, and you can't go wrong with purple and yellow, she looks cool.I should also finish shading mine, maybe later, I wanna design more outfits first. >>7191772
Doodled a casual outfit for Ferfou c:
>>7192588Holy shit forgot pic
>>7191404thanks, its a bit of a wall so that's as much as I can hope for haha.try doing the conscious awareness thing as an exercise. You should only need to do it once, after that you should find you are always aware naturally after that. Thats what happened to me anyways.What I did was this: I'd start drawing normally, but paying close attention. The moment I notice i start having trouble on a part or something, I stop, and go do a study on that thing to find a way of making it easier, fix it so it no longer gives trouble, y'know to try trouble shoot it. Again ya only need to do this once for it to affect you. Good luck!

>>7180030better?
>>7169584I still think i am messing up girl faces. Theyre not that cute.The damn spot under the lips always looks wrong to me. and i still dont have it defined what is a "masculine" or "femenine" chin. Pls help :c
>>7198801What I would do to make her cuter is, and some of these are preferences, shorten the chin a bit, decrease the gap between the mouth and chin, move the nose just a little bit down, make the eyes slightly bigger. Now for some other tihngs ive learned, the shadow under the lower lips look wrong to you because that black line stands out and it doesnt sell the idea of a little shadow but a very noticeable fold in the skin or something like that, but you can actually apply Impressionist ideas to animay, instead of doing such a graphic representation of what it is, just make it a very simple version of that shadow without the lines to sell the idea even if its not 100% accurate, this is what is stylization is about, capture the essence, step back from the canvas to see what it looks like from a distance.Now the eyebrows dont get thicker as they reach the side of the face, its thicker on the inwards, unless you wanna make an old man with bushy eyebrow i would avoid this, makes her look less cute, and i would also add some basic shading to the eyes, and some highlights, which i will take this opportunity to tell you about how highlights and the whites of the eyes arent actually pure white.Hope it helps.cute drawing otherwise, anon, keep it up
>>7198801>>7198862im a dumbass and i forgot the damn pic
>>7198863>>7198862thanks anon ill have these in mind <3
>>7172780that's not cute
>>7189170/fag/got
>>7198898No problem, keep on experimenting and playing around with ideas, check out the work of other artists that you like and that you want for your own style, analyze it, try to copy what works, etc.
