A couple of abandoned projects. I was making use of a "comic diary",something normies can sketch aspects of their lives in preparation rendered panels. I doodled a story that was criticized for bad lettering,a fair accusation. I have a small tablet that runs Android apps,so I did these two pages with the intention of adding the dialog afterwards. Then I tried cleaning it up, then rudimentary coloring to get a feel for the tool set.
And the other. This was ballpoint followed by gel ink. I was still more interested in doing just enough art to convey the situation, and only for an audience of me and any completest that may stumble across the original art looting my corpse. This diary wasn't made for the abuse I lay into the paper trying to get the right amount of black chiseling the image. And the book is small,only slightly bigger than my hand,so I was stuffing details into tiny spaces. Once I realized what other things can be achieved by using the tablet,I decided to devote my time to a better project that would teach me the tools more profitably.
And...I just finished this.I like the idea enough to redo it larger and better.
>>7340560thx. here's another scratchfest i'm working on
>>7339392>>7339580>>7339673>>7339622SoulAlso, posting my latest work. Still grinding anatomy, so I have not really started to practice rendering in digital yet

I started sketching this last night. I'm trying to concept out some weird jrpg class generics like you'd see in disgaea.Task 1 is figuring out what I want to do with the wing / shawl things though cause current shapes are just placeholders (a bad habit of mine)>>7341666I like where this is going. Weird goblin dudes fused mouth thing is cool. Bald guys hand isn't in the right spot / too small or something. >>7341501Sick>>7337288I like what you're going for. Maybe try framing her a bit differently if you're still working on this? I'm just cropping it down on my phone a bit so some stuff like her foot goes out of frame and found that felt better but may just be me.
how does lighting work does anyone have any good tutorials my brain just cannot think in 3d
>>7341685>Looks like it all was done on one layer?>Needs a sketch/lines layer to set up the elements I guessTwo layers - lines and colors.
It's one of those days where i just feel like giving up and nothing I do matters and everything I make is shit. I wont give up but damn this feels like shit :(

How well do you think these designs work? How would you improve them? Do they seem like they belong in the same group?My intent is to make more refined paintings of them later on with better posing and rendering, after I've adjusted the designs based on feedback. The designs are meant to be quite realistic.The idea here is for them to be a group of 5 people from the same household, who are part of a alien god cult thing, hence the masks.
critique more than welcome
>Too lewd for main>Not explicit enough for lewdAnybody else run into this problem?
is it visible he is made of wood?
I'm autistic about keeping my layers clean and separate. There's about 19 layers here. Not shown are the body, head, hair, hands, and shadow layers for those parts. Oh, and the canvases are 8000x10000 and my average psd file 1.4gigs.
What a waste of time this was. Don't like the design and the lighting is all over the place. Moving on to the next piece.I've thought about doing just doing fan art and OC redraws for a while to maybe get better at concept design from imagination.
>>7337213Just finished this little practice portrait
>>7347655Pretty good but i think the ear needs work. You paid less attention while rendering it compared to everything else which makes it stick out.
>>7347004God damn you really are autistic. Looks good though
Repost from DTIYS thread
>>7347663thank you I don't know how I completely neglected the ear, I knew a few things were bugging me. Smoothed out a bunch of hard edges as well, definitely a needed improvement.
>>7345019yes
Could I get some critique before I move on to rendering? Thank you.

>>7351885This one is better, looks fucking sick my man. What is this guy's name?
>>7351900Good callThanks, it's him but i take creative liberties everytime i draw him.Sounds weird but i treat him like he's my OC.
Thoughts so far? What do I need to do before I call it finished?>>7351904Interesting. He definitely looks right at home with your other fellas, the way you draw him.
>>7351965Remove freckles
>>7351965I feel like the light on the top of her head (above the bangs) ends too abruptly and cleanly with too many sharp edges whe. It should be more defuse
>>7351969I will make them more pronounced.>>7351973Good thinking, thanks.
>>7348236
>>7352040Why did you give her baki jaw muscles
>>7351965She's kinda doing the Nicholson stare. It looks fine if that's intentional, background is a bit plain.
>>7352087Yeah, I'm really bad at drawing environments. Any tips? That looks amazing!
>>7352099Get really good at those still lifes with the wood blocks, it's legitimately really helpful. You can carve pretty much anything out of a block. Architecture is just really big blocks. There's very simple things you can use to add lots of 'detail' very easily. Trims, panels, boards, fancy patterns, whatever. Stuff that exists almost entirely in the ambient occlusion space, so you barely have to pay attention to the lighting.Also I did a simple blockout in blender and painted over it. You still need to know how to do it from scratch unless you want to turn learning to draw into learning to 3D model, but it saves a lot of time fucking around with the lighting and composition.If nothing else, find a reference for your lighting setup. Doesn't need to be the exact scene, but it's good to have a reference for what colors and values look right in a particular scene.
>>7351885that single red dot on his helmet holds so much compositional power.good stuff
touched it up since last time. added texture to the headpiece. i think i'm ready to call this finished.sorry for spam.
not sure whats they're supposed to be but i kinda like it
>>7353031Magnificent. Love these dudes.
Testing to figure out some stuff for a comic book. I was initially leaning towards working digital, but there's something I just love about physically inking drawings.
>>7353523Pretty generic but well executed.
>>7346604
>>7353523really fuckin good. I saved it
>>7346604>>7353819These are fun
>>7353523Good work, keep going and don't stop.
>>7351885Beautiful and inspiring
First time trying some more complex; mainly the metal next to organic lighting. I realized later I missed inking the thigh, so I still have to fix that

just did some rogue trader fanart
Something always looks off to me. With this and it (to me) looks better when i flip it. But straight, something always bugs me about it , i tryed making a "skeleton" over it to check and i can make it make sense but "something is off" feeling remains . I cant figure it out. I would be apreciative of any help with this
Wip.
I feel I'll never be able to draw anything as good as this again or am i just thinking this is good when it's actually garbage
>>7347655Damn this is fucking sick. Are you a traditional artist turned digital? The skin tones and softness is fuckijg beautiful. Great stuff.
>>7358003Nah Aslong as try to understand what you did right/wrong. You can repeat it in different/better ways. You need to work on hair though, repeating patterns on the left side+hair stiffness
>>7358003 Oh and Love the expression very nice :D
>>7358087>>7358088thanks for giving me some hope. the hair pattern is bit of a intentional crutch right now, because I can vision it from different angles and draw it consistently-ish, but I'd like to make it look better, but without it turning visually confusing. also I like trying to express emotions with the hair spikes
>>7352087I like this. Nice story, excellent mood, the shark & fish on left are goody cute as is the puddung rag knot thingie on the main char’s head.Nice sketchy style, too.
anybody have advice for animation? any good videos you recommend or projects to try to help pave the way forward? I have no formal training in the field(if it wasn't already painfully obvious)this was just expression work. I apologize to your eyes in advance
>>7358204Do you have the Animator's Survival Kit? Kind of a cliche to recommend at this point, but it has all the information you need.
>>7358108Word, I think i get you, it does make her look more desperate and scared. I could help you, some stuff here is a relatively simple fix. Would point you in the right direction.
>>7358262Sure. What kind of things you have in mind?
>>7358265Actually i can just show it visually, mind if i draw over you pic?
>>7358272Go for it. If it makes it easier to explain
>>7358240no, was not even aware of this, will check it out, thank you
>>7357997Showed this to the client commissioning it asking if he likes where it's going.He told me to make it more on model.Guess I'm not allowed any flexibility when it comes to stylization, won't be sharing my progress on this one anymore because it just won't be me.
>>7358279 Example 1# I I added lines to show the direction your hair was going, your hair is a bit random, i can see the curves you were going for, but they have no base to attach to. hair strands bend across the form depending on the parting line of your head" the parting line can be changed by combing aswell. Some people it tends to be in the center like Example #2 which most likely you where going for. Parting lines are just naturally there though, you can screw around with hair alot, rubber bands hair gel etcAt Example #2 i decided not to mess with the emotion strands you made, although i think you can make them alot better, ill leave that up to you.Marc brunet has a video on hair "The easy way to draw HAIR (beginner tutorial) which explains practically everything about drawing hair in a very short vid.If you find the video crazy hard, then it would help to practice shapes a bit more first. Enjoy<3
>>7358338thanks for your effort to improve my design. I'll have to focus some more on the base and parting of the hair it seems
>>7358332>Get payed to draw something>Give them some sketchy impressionist bullshit because 'muh style'>Get butthurt when they don't like it
>>7358426They saw what they signed up for?I don't think you get it at all.It's not the sketchiness that bothers him, he's probably seeking it that's why he sought me out to begin with.it's the liberties i took with the design. Like changing the shape of the teeth on his chest and the angle of the horns.Alls well that ends well anyway. He's happy with it now.
>>7358880I want to see the final piece/original design, to compare it to your version.
>>7358426>sketchy impressionistic bullshitBrother have you ever drawn before? You draw a sketchy impression of a piece before you start polishing. Whether or not you're trolling you're a retarded faggot either way
WIP, blood smears could use some work
>>7360370nice
SFW'er my old work now.>>7360848That's a solid skull anon. I would sharpen that cup of milk or whatever that is in the background though. Everything else is so sharp and it just looks like you forgot to finish that part. Everything else is aces though.
>>7358003I tried designing and drawing a new character. How does she look? How could I improve her?
>>7355876cute!
>>7361078For a stylized face like that I would consolidate the freckles into fewer, slightly larger dots.
>>7360848Fellow animal skull chad. This looks great, but I think the item behind him to the right is a bit ambiguous and that the wood should look more wooden, as opposed to the brushy look it has now. Like I said though it’s nice work. What animal is it, though? It looks so familiar but I just can’t recall it
>>7361108Very nice redraw man, thanks for the insane effort :D

Something from the oc thread. Might work on it a bit more though.
Got told by some pros that need to improve the details of my anatomy and the readibilty of my 3d structures. Any good source that would tackle this? Something in between proko and bridgman would seem ideal to me.
>>7363400Blog? And also artists you look up to/studied? I want to learn this power.
>>7363847I'm @magebasin basically everywhere, but I upload infrequently.The only person I could mention in terms of influence is Alessandro Barbucci, but I feel like this is a disappointing answer because my art doesn't really look much like this anymore, but he was the guy I worshipped growing up.

>>7362397look great. nice moomin mugs!
>>7365838Anon, less is more. Why she has so many details in so unnecessary parts?
>>7365902which parts specifically?
>>7366035nta, but your shading is very muddy, it give the impression she's made of wrinkled tissue. Either sharpen it up, or blend it, but it doesn't look great as-is. Might be a good idea to step back from the textured brush for a bit.Also, those toggles don't make sense. They're only spread so wide on her original design because the cords are super thick. With cords this thin, it doesn't work.

I wonder how I should fix the (our) left arm
How is this looking, and what do I need to fix?>>7368331>>7368348Thank you! She's a character from my webcomic, which has been on hiatus for... Jesus, almost two years now.
>>7368070Thanks. She's a character for a graphic novel I'm working on based on the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. I have a lot of good references for most of the characters EXCEPT her, so I've been having trouble reaching a design that I'm happy with and can consistently draw. I feel like I'm getting closer though.
>>7368465
>>7368499got a link to your webcomic? been looking for something new to read, character is cute
>>7366411cute underboob
>>7370057Honestly, it's hard to recommend. No aspect of it is particularly compelling or well-executed, hence the long hiatus while I work on my art skills and try to figure out how to make it into something worthwhile. But here you go: https://farstarss.the-comic.org/ A much better use of your time would be Paranatural, which is an incredible comic on every front and I will shill for it until the day I die: https://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-1
>>7368379Some motherfuckers study so much they never learn to draw from imagination so you've got that going for you.In terms of studying>Life studies>Artist studies>Memory studies (stare at a ref, put it away, copy what you remember, compare to reference when done, repeat - very difficult)>Imagination drawingcovers all bases. Mix up characters, environments, and props for a well-balanced diet. Also Bridgeman's a meme for a reason, helps immensely with gesture and the landmarks of anatomy.
>>7350756I think the eyes are the least of your problems, though the iris on the left may be a bit large? and the lips are a bit wobbly. The face is probably the strongest part of the entire figure though. I wouldn't worry about it as much. The stiff pose, and shoulders/lower legs especially could use some work.Cool lineup of characters though. Good job
>>7368465>>7369794Ken penders.

I haven't done lineart in a long time
>>7371842Looks awesome except for the shape of her rib cage. What do the letters on her fingers spell?
>>7371603How can I attain such skill?
>>7371867MERCY but it doesn't really mean anything.
Did this thing, unfortunately the "center piece", in the ditch, has the awkwardest poses.I find drawing with binary tools very liberating, no schizoing over line quality.>>7341666>>7343877My advice to both of your is to be careful with adding detail.If you do it without a clear purpose (like the clothing folds in both, that is just scattered randomly in small lines/blobs), it will flatten the form and not provide much in return.For second anon, also pay attention to line thickness. Having more general shapes thicker than internal detail could do wonders for your piece.

Me and the wife in Akihabara.Any criticism is more than welcome.>>7374266Do you have a video process for any work in this style?Looks very nice, the color/compression artifacts and pixels make me wonder when resizing happens in this pipeline.
humm
>>7374514The resizing happens just at the end. It's a pretty standard painting process, just not caring too much about details because it's going to get bitcrushed later anyway.PP stack looks something like:- Noise texture on overlay- Sharpen- Gradient map full of random colors- Blur color only- Save it as a shitty jpgResolution is reduced a lot for size, but this is about what it looks like pre-jpg
Updated an old design
>>7374653So the "pixels" weren't from an upscaled pixel art, these are just JPG algorithm blocks, I see. Same with the artifacts around the 1px black wires, just crunchy JPG.Thanks for sharing, anon.
