Mee'sa likey those hips and thighs. The hand is a bit scuffed, the thumb and pinky wouldn't meet dead center, the thumb bends bellow its base. Do that w/ your own hand rn and you'll see. The feet looks a bit scuffed too, but not too enough to be an issue imo(I don't care about feet). Can we see how you're doing on faces more? You're doing good man, don't stress over it.

You're missing the subtlety of the human body's form, making your bodies look lumpy. Show us your references so we can point out how your art differs from them.

I am a broke incel who has failed at everything he has ever attempted. I have a poor and shameless character but even I have suffered enough dishonor to warrant death like the nips do. My only hope was to become a cloutmaxxed artist icon or something so I could live like a Rockstar or at least be posthumously famous, but it'll never happen. My dreams are oger
>>7428717
Like ~30 minutes for the painted ones each, and like 15-20 for the line drawings combined

I only do anime faces now because I challenged someone on another thread that I could do it as a westerner

Your drawing reminds me of one of my friends, but he's already made it.
Keep at it, bruh.

You're good enough, instead of doing figure studies of uggos start doing studies of art and artists you like

What are you talking about ? Just keep practicing art is fucking hard... this is good but just do few more studies and you will got it.

Look, I've been at it for a 10 years and got no results to show for it, if I haven't given up neither should you

What did you mean by this anon?
>I could do it as a westerner
Being a westerner isn't a problem, ignoring anime methods and not having a taste for anime aesthetics is the issue. Westerners tend to have this unwarranted pride when it comes to anime that they think they don't have to learn any new ways of doing things and will just make up their own "style" that will somehow be anime or even better than anime.

I rushed through this scribble of the slut from Vinland Saga in like 4 or 5 minutes to show something. I guess it's not "pure" anime but I kind of like being able to show additional subtle nuances of more realistic faces that anime doesn't always have, but I'm committed to the path and will see it through nevertheless.

I don't know yo, there was a guy on here that was talking about how he lost his v card at 14 and had a kino youth and he posted his work and it was better than mine. Some people have all the blessings in the world while others rot. I should've killed myself 8 years ago at 16, I don't wanna wake up at 32 and think I should've done it now, or half a lifetime ago

sounds like he came from a trashy neighborhood/ family

You just settle for the easier thing because actual anime is too hard or even worse you can't tell the difference between faux-anime and true anime.

Anime has unlimited potential for subtle nuances of faces and it has plenty of more realistic styles. Your pic's 'style' isn't some great artistic choice to highlight something, it's ad hoc and born from a lack of skill/taste like with literally everything western these days. It's the difference between style (only skilled people have it) and peculiarity (everyone has it). Modern cartoons and faux anime only focus on being quirky and not on a coherent style that is found in anime. Fauxanime is inherently capped in terms of possibilities and freedom and anyone drawing it is lost while anime beginners are merely missing the mark of what they already know to be good.

It's still all I ever wanted which doesn't make it any less painful. Better trashy and happy than sophisticated and miserable. Philosophy is just cope for virgins desu
>>7430166
Kek, who doesn't love chicken though? I associate sex with biting, I just wanna sink my teeth into the plump, juicy flesh of a woman. Hopefully I don't get a aggravated assault/manslaughter charge if I ever lose my virginity
>>7430213
Hmm, this may be true. I thought vinland Saga was drawn by a nip though so how can it not be classified as anime? The anon I responded to wanted to see both faces and my attempts at anime so I went for both. Also because that character is a slut. If you're the same guy that was trolling me in the "westerners can't draw anime" thread then I already said in the post you replied to that I'm committed to the path. We shall see
>>
>>7430280
My comparison wasn't intended as a joke; I was trying to get you to realize how your forms are more engorged than those of your reference. You're exaggerating as part of the reference stage, which you shouldn't do. This should only be done after you know the foundations.

You didn't draw vinland saga. or you can't see how your pic is not even close to being anime?
>committed to the path
to what path? can you post something you consider as a stepping stone on that path?

why are you obsessed with sex, fuck off and draw

Hmm, some interesting insights here. It doesn't help that I put no special effort towards accuracy, I just eyeball things and go from there. I've tried to subvert that tendency by messing with the transform tool when my proportions are off. But I don't really like to draw the way other people tell me to, I'll just keep trying it the way I have.

To the second anon, I don't really have a goal, im not even sure I want to be an artist. What i want most of all is power, the only thing that could fill the hole in my soul, which I daydream about everyday, all day long. I tried drawing various anime faces that I like but regrettably i lost all capacity to focus on the bottom half. I guess I want to achieve a mixture of lewd and also formal standard anime style, so a mix of doujinshi and some mainstream anime stuff. I drew my favorite anime villains who I want to be like and emulate, but I couldn't do them justice. You seem a little pressed though, so I suspect nothing I say or do would get you to lower the knife you're holding to my throat, so I'll leave it at that. I think I'll focus on getting anime proportions first, then the lineweight and stylistic nuance will follow in turn.

I feel less like killing myself now because I see a path forward, but I might still do it down the line depending on how everything goes and if I can recover from the past

anime villains know their goals and always have strong ideals. they won't settle for mediocrity and make excuses about how it's actually their choice to be do lower tier art. they get the power because their ideals demand them to be powerful.
>>
>>7428689
you again, you whiny fucking retard. how about you stop shitting up threads with your pathetic self-pity and actually sit down and think about what you want to achieve with your art for once? you're not improving because all you do is cry about how shitty you are. and you're right. stating the obvious doesn't change anything though. try fucking drawing for at least a portion of the time you spend whining, pussy. i promise you you'll see the most improvement you've seen in years then. lazy ass faggot.

I don't really care about all that. You sound overly concerned with yourself
>>

Until you change this mindset, you will never, EVER make it, you absolute faggot. So stop making whiny self-pitying threads, and either quit right fucking now, or go and try to find some semblance of a passion for drawing, because improvement will forever elude you if you don't.
