very pretty! what materials did you use & what was your process?
>>7442348it's my fav>>7442365colored pencil, liners, watercolor. ripped the tape trying to remove but I liked the aesthetic so worked with it
>>7442341>>7442347>>7442397these are lovelyi'd buy them if I saw them and wasn't broke, especially the one with the knees
New year, new power level?post, rate
>>7441816your lines are really fucking awful. it's too bad because the rest is adequately competent. Improve your line quality (lineweight!) and it will instantly be a much better piece.
The arms might be an issue, I'm not confident in more elaborate perspectives.

whats the difference between good character design and bad character design.
>>7442077>Hair>moon themewhat hairstyle would work here without damaging the moon look?
>>7441933>>7442049>Looks like shitsa simpsonmakes sense it's the extended mouth thing - but I'd argue the Simpsons have iconic designs - so maybe this is a compliment in a way?>>7442077>Give it hairI've added stars - not quite hair, but not sure what hair would work here>>7442106>The design is very simple, maybe incorporate a more digital aesthetic, like a futuristic Mac TonightI assume that's reference to the keyboard emoji I ended up ignoring?but making the design more futuristic could add to the design - what elements do you suggest?Any more ideas? this is a fun challengeIf anyone else wants to have a tryhttps://perchance.org/emoji
>>7440162Good char design looks goodBad char design looks badIt's that simple, don't overthink it and just make something that looks cool
>>7442411Doesn't have to be super complex, maybe an outfit made of holographic material with blocky shades or a belt with studs that resemble keys in a keyboard.

Take this with a grain of salt as I came up with this sort of plan today while showering.basically, steps:> Draw a picture from imagination> Isolate the worst areas> Do studies of such areas> Do the picture again> Repeat until the picture looks decentHow can it be improved?
>>7442219start with the placement of features on the face. I can see you've tried to construct under it, but your construction was rushed and useless. find a better method. slow down.
>>7442429Yep, I completely failed the feather crest. Which means I will copy a Torchic next, but not in the sense of copying it line by line, but moreso identifying the pieces that make a Torchic a Torchic. Memory requires attention, so I will memorize things such as the number of toes or how the feather crest is attached, then there's no more guessing it wrong.
My own creativity grind:https://youtu.be/1OSWR7xiQLk?si=kP0q41X8Y-14YwlI
>>7442463So here's some lousy copies and..
>>7442506... then I covered the copies and drew one from fresh memory, now more sure about e.g. the number of toes. Yes, I should have moved the legs further back. Turns out, I don't yet know what shape the crest is supposed to have in 3D, so the next logical step would be to look at 3D models of Torchic to find the official answer. I'd suspect it's the shape of three sunflower seeds, neither flat nor a cone. But I'm just some /beg/ way past my bedtime, and I suppose I've helped OP feel more certain about the approach as-is.

>>7441798anyone can link to those? i know one QuickDraw but it refuses to work for me for some reason.
>>7441997if youve got pureref you can use the slideshow function
>>7442096That's true yeah but don't you have to load images on by one? It's not the worst thing in the world but maybe one of these weekends I'll sit down and see if I can get a tool working that will let me separate my refs into categories (clothed male, nude female, perspective etc) and set up timed stay sessions.
>>7442185no you can drag and drop multiple images

Sorry for the huwie tier question but how do i start studying perspective in depth?
>>7432558>>7438244Can I get a link to it as well?
>>7438211oh I see
>>7438323https://www.nma.art/courses/a-complete-guide-to-perspective-for-artists-with-erik-olson/It’s a paid course, not it specifically but it’s hosted on New Master’s Academy which requires a monthly subscription. If you’re dedicated to this to the degree that you want to draw for a living, it’s worth the money if you can finish 150-200 hrs of effortful studying & practice in 2 months (thereby only paying the monthly fee twice). Obviously you can go longer but it’s paying more to go slower and retain less, so I wouldn’t recommend it. If you can sink at least 20 hrs a week into this you’ll come out of it with better perspective skills than 99.9% of twitter artists.
Post some more stuff please
You can't download more skills, no matter how much you collect. No matter who tells you, the rules and principles will always be the same.
Has anyone actually gotten good at drawing by using those? >Obviously assuming you have decent fundies too.
>>7440691You can't tell the difference between anime and other artstyles?
>>7439527It's because /ic/ equates master study with copying. Even though you should actually study what the master does and emulate their art style in a new artwork. You should read interviews, books, ask people, experiment, and so on to do a real master study. Even the copying done by /ic/ residents is not really a copy, more like half-ass sketches.

How detailed do you reckon should concept art be? Especially for character specific conceptual art.
Dude, none of these are ANYTHING. Whats your problem?

I want to draw but everything about it, including all the guidebooks I've looked at, looks too complicated for me. I get filtered by Loomis, and the IC drawing guide. When it gets to the body, my mind completely blanks out and I just give up.
>>7439615As someone who also struggles with wordy guides, I try not to think too hard about it. It's a major discouragement realizing how out of your depth you are, so I just do what I can instead.
>>7440965Cheap tablet + easypose + ibispaint
>>7440675???You don't work up your courage you do it and do it every day.
Start by 5minutes a day, u can take a weekday break. Can you handle that?
>>7439615damn if you're this weak then you'll never be good at drawing. all this /ic/ crap is just beginner tier material to help you develop a passion for the craft and learn some fundamentals. You haven't even gotten to the real grinding stages yet.
I finished this painting of ice spice whilst listening to Portishead.
Prime your canvas for gods sake
>>7442440Prime my canvas? It's already pre-primed.

>>7442449Wha? What are you talking about
I'm told by people i know that practicing with wet toiletpaper and bloodscrawls is just as useful and productive as paying for half-decent paper/charcoal/whatever Is there any merit to this mindset or are they dead wrong ?
>>7439892Richard Corben used to do the same thing you're doing for his works btw
>>7442094picking brush hairs out of the painting is part of my process
It is super important. That is a main reason why there is so much art/painting research done at most universities- lightfastness, longevity of materials is pivotal and a lot of money is poured into finding out what pigments, application, and surfaces help the work last. The BIC pen you are using is not lightfast/archival- your precious work will fade eventually. I recommend paying the premium for proper materials to make sure it will last your lifetime, if not longer.
>>7442370And yet a Bic ballpoint pen is fine for practice.
>>7442370>lightfastness, longevity of materials is pivotalto art traders 100 years from now, not to op
