Does anyone have any good resources on eyes (conveying emotion, simplifying, stylizing, etc.)? The manga furries book has a basic overview of human and animal eyes (picrel), but I'm having trouble connecting the dots. I feel like I've hit a wall just copying eyes from artists I like.

Greetings /fag/s. You guys probably don’t remember me, but last year, I left to grind figures and said I would be reporting back in from time to time. Due to uni, I wasn’t able to draw at all for the last 6 months, but good news. After summer class on July 3rd, I immediately sat down to grind. Since that day, I’ve managed to grind anatomy from the toes all the way up until the neck, I’m still missing the face and some parts of the neck to memorize, but I think I’m pleased with the results. I logged my hours with the forest app, and I’ve studied a total of 82 hours and 14 minutes this month alone. I don’t know how I’m alive.

anon discords are generally a bad idea because it ends up separating threads into those who are in the server and those who aren't. Then you get drama leaking out from the server into the threads and often times the general turns into a shitfling or it becomes completely incomprehensible to anyone not "in the know"

There's a reason the OP states

Thoughts? Do I need to work on my fundies?
How can I improve the artwork from here? What layers, what am I missing
>>
>>7670401
You're in the beginning. The first thing you do is decide what you want to improve, decide your fundies. This might be figures or perspective or anatomy or colors etc, anything you like, just don't study more than things 2 at once. Then you just grind like >>7669353, simple as.
>>
>>7670570
>just don't study more than things 2 at once
seconding that advice, one of the biggest mistakes I made when starting out was doing an anatomy study but using a difficult pose or perspective, or studying lighting and colour but doing it on a figure drawing instead of simple objects. Each one of these things is difficult on their own and trying to attempt both when unfamiliar with either was a fruitless effort. Always try to boil something down into its simplest form, learn that, then when you are somewhat comfortable with each you can practice combining the two

Follow the advice from these guys, but perspective is key. Without a rudimentary understanding, even if you learn anatomy, itll look like shit.

Focus on figure drawing and get the steave huston figure drawing course. I believe they have it in the /ic/ study torrent. Thats how I got so good at figures.

against the rules of the thread I made a discord server adjacent to the thread because its just too annoying not being able to post porn here. We're very chill about the rules. Whining about posting something in the wrong channel won't happen. No power tripping bs. I promise.

>>7670180
That's usually a problem with big servers and many lgbt pronoun idiots and kids who don't have any use for their free time. Drama can happen in the thread as well, since many post with watermark and distinctive style.

It didn't happen here (to my knowlege) yet because we are (mostly >>7673678) adults here with a constructive hobby.

Anon, Ive seen you here for years and honestly, you've got potential. But you are clearly misguided. Heed my fucking words. Take the steve huston figure course, you can get it from the /ic/ study. You have to complete level 1 and you can find it on the /ic/ torrent. Thats it. If you do that, Im promise your art will actually fucking sky rocket. Stop drawing your bullshit for just one second and grind that singular course. Then you are free to learn anatomy.

Yeah, they can be really weird. It always helped me to remember that the horse leg, despite being shaped slightly differently, has exactly the same parts as the human leg. Or all mammalian legs, really. A lot of it is obfuscated by muscle at the rump, but the leg itself is somewhat easily simplified, as shown by the pic I attached.
That said, it's obviously very hard to put into practice. I was going to try drawing a couple as examples, but I'm so out of practice with horses that it didn't turn out too well. There are some guides on YouTube that do a good job of simplifying the anatomy too.

At the same time, if you just want a good butt shot for horny reasons, then just draw the butt. Horses are just a long tube if you crop out the limbs; the hardest part then is making sure the neck is thick enough, because horses have THICK necks.
>>
>>7675762
Thanks for the handy guide, and I'll check Youtube for simplication guides.

and yesh, I do want to draw the butt at some point for horny purposes :3
But the legs are also important to show the comparative scale of the ass! ill keep grinding

Your art is really good. Very aruurara-adjecent. Don't be discouraged by social media. Social media is, on the whole, a luck-based game that rewards quantity over quality, and will latch onto the stupidest shit to push you to the algorithm. Just keep doing what you're doing, and eventually it will pick you up.

these are so nice! what did you use to learn anatomy?
>>
>>7676681
Thank you anon, these kind words help me more than you could ever believe. Its been rough to learn all this stuff, and I still have so much more to go. Now I have to learn how to draw environments for my figures.

>>7676879

>How did you anatomy
I learned it from proko and from Rey Bustos. Rey is like a crash course in anatomy, but proko is very detailed. I would recommend that combo, but to be honest, its pretty useless without gesture and figure drawing. For that, I took the constructive anatomy course by steve Huston.

All of these courses are up on the /ic/ torrent and anyone can do it. The only issue is time. I've studied 120+ hours in total this month. I had to since I wont have time when uni starts in a few days.

pointless. it doesn't matter if you're search banned on twitter, that's not how people find your posts anyway.
retweets are everything. if they search banned you before they'll do it again. I'm search banned on twitter and my last post from three days ago has almost 100k views, it doesn't matter.

it looks very finished and clean. as far as critique, I'd say you should focus on strengthening your forms and thinking in 3D better. right now it's looking a bit 'flat'. you've got a very solid foundation here so if you just grind that a bit it'll go very far.

The eyes are very far apart and individually look oddly shaped. I would suggest moving the one on the left closer until they are an eye’s width apart. I think the visible hand looks very good. The foot that is planted coming toward the viewer feels too skewed to the right but I can’t elaborate why more than that so maybe I am wrong. Hope this helps

really trying to nail down consistent guidelines myself for 'generic dogface' and I can't help but feel i'm making some blaring error that i won't notice until days later. Anything stick out as retarded? other than the nose/eyes/ears are basically placeholders I haven't studied those. I'm trying to use like, face = 3 eye-gap widths, muzzle tip distance from face = distance from eye gap to back of cheekboke/jaw start

Why do 90% of furfags in the west have a dogshit understanding of color theory? Question goes out to people in this thread as well, do you just roll the dice on what R/G/B values you are going to use?

Sometimes it takes more time than we're comfortable with before the skills set in. A lot of artists I've spoken with deal with that in some way or another. I certainly do too. For what it's worth I like your drawing(s). Nice, dynamic poses with a good focus on clothing. There's potential there.
>>
>>7699549
> do you just roll the dice on what R/G/B values you are going to use?
Not really, I do try to to think about the color wheel and how colors play off of each other, as well as trying to ensure I'm not making things muddy or garish. But the thing is, my understanding of color theory IS dogshit so even if I try to do these things, the attempts fall short.
If I could properly explain why that happened that would mean I properly understood my shortcomings, but as it stands my knowledge beyond the basics remains elusive, and even those I occasionally fuck up, It's a matter or needing to know more before you can begin to know what you don't know.
I am painting traditionally to hopefully get a better grasp at it.

Procreate users, I am joining your ranks, and I am finding the experience not bad, but a little difficult to get used to. What kind of settings do you use to make your experience better? Any tips I should know about?

I'm finding the sensitivity of the Apple pencil a bit difficult to adjust to after coming from my Surface pen. (for comparison's sake, the Ivy I did above is from my Surface, this is from my iPad).

I suppose this is more of a broad art question in general but I always don't know how to design appealing clothes so my drawings are always just featureless and naked. What exactly should I be looking at to make an appealing character?
I actually draw a lot of clothes from reference but whenever I put it on someone it looks terrible.
>>
my art is ugly
it's not like I can't draw. I just can't draw anything appealing
no matter what I draw it looks gross. not because of the subject matter but because I've got so many bad thoughts my art is ugly too
my attempts at cutesy things always fail miserably
maybe I should just quit.

You simply need to look at your values. Look how it's all the same grey except Pomni's skin. Separate characters from background.

You are already there. Quitting would be a shame.

What is the point. I am not satisfied of the things I draw. It's not even a skill issue, I can improve all I want, in the end I'd just draw Geof Darrow shit that is technically great but still ugly.
Should've learned to fucking draw anime.
>>
It's like I am hitting an inbuilt obstacle. There are people who barely learned to scribble but you can tell they have an understanding of cute or appealing proportions. It's something you just cannot learn. Even if I learned it would be by measuring every little thing like an autist because I cannot do it. When I posted art I'd always get compliments on something technical but I could tell nobody really liked it because it's just ugly art.
I've seen experienced artists who draw ugly shit like me and when they tried to demonstrate what's cute and appealing their art looked like shit. I don't wanna fall into the genes shit but it really feels like it's just some wiring I am lacking. You can learn to draw but you can't learn good aesthetics.
>>
>>7703933
that's just cope senpai. You have to learn it by conscious effort, just like everything else.

People who draw cute now began to draw cute over time through trial and error or studying, because they wanted to draw more cute. If you make no effort to draw more cute it will never happen. You have habits that you no longer like. So you need to deviate from them to create anything new.

If you know what you don't like, that must also mean that you will recognize when you get closer to what you like.

Thanks anon, I cant believe i didn't see that. Clearly, I have much to learn.

Ill keep grinding how to draw by scott robertson and then ill go and read how to render supplemented by framed ink. Maybe that will help me with my values. I'm pretty sure I'm a failure at composition too, for now. Its one of those things I haven't practiced or studied.

Scott Robertson is great but take a look at Framed Ink. In Clip Studio you can make a correction layer with Hue/Saturation/Luminosity and set saturation to zero. Turn on/off that layer to check values. It's not 100% accurate but helps a lot.

Don't get me wrong. I'm one of those "if your females look like pointy, spooky monsters, I will now buy your game" kind of guys.
If anything, I appreciate how you made her somehow pretty and monstrous at the same time. Valve's redesign is a bit cuter still (but I still really like it, which is why I've been drawing her all week).

Honestly not a big fan of blue alien women, but the art is still good.
>>
>>7705015
>the art is still good
it's technically passable the problem is that I can't draw something anyone likes (me included)
like I don't think I ever got a (you) for any of the shit I've drawn and twitter felt like a desert when I was on it
I just wish I had more straightforward appeal. fucking generic AI is more interesting to people than anything I'll draw. I can try to get things right, clean up the tangents, clean up line weight, render, whatever it is, but in the end it's just ugly. Years ago I could cope that I was just /beg/ but nothing has changed and I doubt it would change if I got better.

The saturation slider method is too much inaccurate.

If you don't have Photoshop to use the color proof, the best alternative is to fill an entire layer with black, and change the layer mode to "color".
Not perfect accuracy, but good enough.
>>
>>7705021
>The saturation slider method is too much inaccurate.
oh right I use that actually
I made a button in clip studio that creates the overlay. I checked and it's a black fill layer set to color

>>
>>7705027
feels like sunken costs fallacy to me
I already don't feel that motivated to draw. I pretty much keep going because I enjoy the drawing part, but I get nothing from it in the end
I just keep thinking that if I had intentionally tried to copy a popular style and learned to draw vags and dicks and drew more fanart I'd be a lot happier. I just feel like a failed concept art wannabe guy
I know it sounds NPC as fuck but I do this a lot in life and in hindsight I feel like I choose to be miserable and do everything uphill for no reason at all, like I'm being a dumb contrarian
anyway I'll stop blogposting.

I remember when I started the fanart trend-hopping porn artists were awful but right now they're legit professionals on average. cause they've been constantly rewarded for years for drawing popular fanart and porn in a style that's popular. I can't even brag that I'm better than those guys today cause I chose to handicap myself and draw in a complete joyless void and I improved at a snail's pace. why the hell did I even learn to draw in the first place. It feels so dumb that I expected anything but this from muh style. The people who said drawing OC is preteen cringe were right all along, it was just childish of me. Muh OC muh style.
all right that's it

in today's landscape of art that tries too hard to be appealing, I personally love seeing art that isn't afraid to be a little grimy, raw or "ugly".
But I also understand the frustration because I too am trapped drawing the things I've become good at but not the things that I want to

Alright, I can't argue with your rule taken from project management or something.

If you wish, you can post more later; but it's enough, I think I know the problem.

This one is good too by itself, but I think the "problem" is that you are making the deliberate choice of *not* drawing something cute, whether you do so consciously or not.

Are you still the artist that drew the Ivy and alien girl above? Because if so, your statement is just patently false. I'd take an infinite number of your Ivy's over any one AI image. They're not appealing, and the work and effort you've put into your skills is apparent. I'm sad that you can't see that, but it's something I and a lot of artists I've spoken to have struggled with, so I do empathize.

In fact, in a few ways, I suffer from the opposite problem than you. I have people say they think my art is appealing, but it's not really technically impressive. I get attention sometimes, but not usually. Point being, we all hate something about our own art, but it will always bring joy to somebody. I think you will eventually learn to appreciate your work. You're skilled enough that simplifying things to make a 'cute' piece shouldn't be too hard, if you shut your brain off a little. Maybe pivot to something pokemon or just a cute baby animal or something.

Anyways, don't let your brainworms deter you. Art isn't about producing a commodity, it's about expressing yourself. Humans NEED that, whether it's through art or something else.
