uhm hi, I’ve been drawing stuff like this since 2021, and I mainly focus on digital art i did on apps like ibis paint or ms paint. Most of my work is of 90s male cartoon furry characters that I want to fuck or my husbandos, but I draw them in a adorable toony bouncy chibi style that’s sort of my own spin on things. Lately, I’ve been feeling kind of stuck with a few aspects of my art, and I’d really appreciate some constructive feedback or tips from anyone willing to help.

One of the things I struggle with is the fucking shading and shadows. My drawings are usually in flat color, and whenever I try to add lighting or depth, it just looks too off. I’m not sure if I’m overthinking it or just missing something about how light works.

Also, I’ve noticed that my outlines sometimes look kind of deformed or wobbly not in a cool stylistic way, but more like they’re not structured enough. It’s frustrating because I can sort of see the style I want in my head, but I’m having trouble getting it down on the canvas.

Majority of my art is influenced by some other toony artists I’ve know online like minus8 for example, and that guy motivated me to post here and other rule 34 sites try to grow more seriously. If anyone has advice, resources, or just general thoughts, I’d love to hear it. arigatou

Advice number 1: don't draw porn, save yourself while you still can, it'll fry your brain and ruin your life. Resist the fap, it's just not worth it.

Advice number 2: on shading, it's not difficult, a basic way to do it is by establishing a light source from which light is supposed to hit your character, and from there it's easy to figure out what parts of the body should remain in shadow. Just create a new layer, put it at like 50% opacity, and draw in the shadows. Alternatively, make a duplicate of your character and fill it with a single color (I use black myself) and erase the parts that are being hit by the light source. Start simple like that, you'll get the hang of it, good luck, also you got a cute style, just for the love of God don't draw porn or fetish shit

Settle down sister, if you really wanna draw porn go ahead, no one's stopping you, but don't say I didn't warn you

>>7783254
I'm not the op, just think it's mad disrespectful to comment on without any invitation. It's none of your business. Focus on the art or get lost.

>>7783117

Ok so where did you find these things? we get you're trying to shit on some kid or teenager from deviantart/instagram/tumblr or whatever.

shut the fuck up close minded geezer. I have zero respect for people who try to limit or bring down others. Take your bullshit and shove it. Middle fingers to you good sir and go fuck yourself.
>>
>>7783317
The guy was even teaching you how to shade, you autist rat. At any rate, if this is your level after 4 years, just give up and fap to vomit porn full time instead.

>(I use black myself)
Unless you do a value study or solid blacks, don't. It looks muddy. Literally any other color would be better.

I voiced my opinion respectfully, you just can't take someone else's point of view. That's a you problem I'm afraid, don't expect me to silence myself just because you have such weakness of character, grow up child, I will continue voicing my opinion whenever and however I want and there's nothing you can do about it, the only thing you can do is mature and accept people will not always say things you're going to agree with

>>7783575
You're probably right but I'm just dogshit at shading, using black is the only way I can figure out how to even begin doing it. If I have to add color I could just use layer blend modes, hypothetically, right? Just put a new layer on top of the shading and set it to Color layer mode or whatever else works, I'm not terribly familiar with them, I just cycle through the modes and see which one works best. Overlay is great but has a tendency to oversaturate colors in my experience, when I use it I often lower the opacity as well
