>>7874058Wip
does anybody know of a book about painting? and I mean specifically painting, the process of painting, how it's done, etc, I draw but I can't paint for shit, I literally paint like a toddler
Drew this today.
>>7874896Also drew this
>>7874361>>7874896>>7875107With these I finally have all the dudes for my faction lineup done.
How does this look so far?

>>7876154>>7876089>>7876087Neat stuff>>7875697Looks good
Guys, please I seriously need some critique and advice.I know I'm still /beg/ tier trash but I genuinely am not sure how to move forward.I just use a kind of soft textured pencil type of brush to make my sketch, I'm really just focusing on boundaries, which is a struggle for me around the face because the only actual distinct edges worthy of a hard line are the nostrils, eye folds, and lips, but I like to add lines were there tends to be a sort of steepness so bridge of the nose, the brow, lips, cheeks.But I'm trying to elevate my sketch, my orginal sketch was in the middle. I redrew and resized some parts I didn't like, and then I tried two methods.On the left I used a charcoal crush and just blended it with a generic blending stump brush, but I didn't press very hard so I never got any blacks.The second one I used a hard brush at black and lowered the opacity so that it would naturally get darker from overlap. But this was so tedious and time consuming I gave up.
>>7876294Paint the entire body grey and add shadows and highlights as needed.Right now your sketch makes little sense thus looks odd, the entire chest is as light as the brightest part of the drawing. Would it make sense that your chest was as bright as the sparkle in your eye (white)? That would only happen under very extreme conditions of light
>>7876498Wait so you advice to me is just make it grey?That's the problem you see in my drawing?
>>7876498wait holy fuck, you're actually right, it's like 50% better.What now?
Some muscles >>7876182Thanks anon. Very nice trees
>>7876509Add the highlights, (some lighter grey or white) and be amazed. Where do you put it ? You can either take a reference similar to your image or use one of those 3d dummies and try to imitate the light you are going forThere's a reason why people draw on brown or grey paper, a few touches of black and white complete the sketch quite easily
>>7876525Ok I followed your advice and just from your advice alone I went from that >>7876294to this (pic rel)
>>7876154GET BEHIND ME DOKTOR
current WIP
Some Alienz I made with acrylic markers
>>7877843Cute.How do you get them to blend like that? I started using some I don't remember buying but it's hard to get soft edges like that. Though I think the new ones I bought will help a bit with that when they get here.
>>7877843Seconding this anon's question >>7877877 about blending because the gouache-like effect you got going on there is quite nice. I tried the medium-tip POSCA markers a while ago and felt like I was throwing shit at a wall.
>>7877877There's no blending you just need the proper colors. In fact you can literally see there which colors he used for ever part.
>>7880439Some of the edges look pretty soft. Acrylic markers do blend somewhat, but not easily.
WIP
i am never going to finish this
started chipping away at this sophie thatcher painting fuckin sequins on the dress are going to kill me
>>7880890wait a minute. Is this trad? Didn't realize that before. Looks killer. I too love Sophie Thatcher.
>>7880890The eyes are too big my nigga
>>7880890Nah, that isn't trad. I am curious as to what program that is though.
>>7881299>>7881320I'm using krita w/ the memileo impasto brush sethttps://krita-artists.org/t/memileo-impasto-brushes/92952>>7881307fuck. u right

[DONE] Frieren+Chest
>>7881392Why is it so bland
>>7874058why does my render look like eyeshadow
>>7881500what render, those look like prebeg doodles
>>7881504shut up dumb bitch
Mado It was an attempt to use 3D objects without looking so bad I will do more experiments later
>>7881445Color?
An experiment in ink and aquarelle.I picked an easy subject so I could focus on the medium. No the actors don't quite look like themselves, that wasn't the focus here. Waah normie can't recognize celebrity. I don't care. You get manga face Crockett.So what did I learn, what are the takeaways?>Ink and water color indeed work nicely together. I think I'm starting to prefer this over using pencil or ink hatching for the lighter tones.>Working in a bigger size always makes things exponentially easier in trad. Like, I know this, but I still keep making tiny drawings and they end up looking shit. I should go bold and big more often. Maybe even this (A3) is still on the small side. My previous attempt, which you will never see, was a disaster area because my composition was too ambitious and I made it way too tiny. Simplify compositions, go bigger. Lesson learned.>Dry brush can create interesting effects. I'll have to experiment with that more.>Guns are hard to draw... better refs might help. Should also pay more attention to hands I think. Doesn't matter that much if you look from far away, but, you know>Mirroring gives me a weird feeling, like I've fucked up even worse than I thought. But it goes away as I stare at it longer. Well it's not like I can do much about proportions at this point. You might call it a downside of trad, but I kind of like the fact I'm forced to just do the thing, commit to it, call it done and move on. These constraints are good for weaning one off turd-polishing habits. If anything I've been too easy on myself babying myself with acrylics. They're too forgiving. My digital-moded brain still keeps fighting me. I just gotta remind myself the name of that feeling is COWARDICE.
when you color, how do you decide where to stop the coloring in relation to the lineart?picrel. should I color up to the lines? not touch the lines? slightly touch them? stay coherent (always more or less the same length inside of the lineart)?
>>7882495It doesn't matter the line layer goes on top anyway
>>7882499yes but if the lineart has anything less than 100% opacity, then it's semi transparent like in my picture, and so you can see where the coloring ends through it
>>7882501>Low opacity Lineart For what reason
>>7882513did you open the fucking image, anon? does it look low opacity to you? it's just not 100% ventablack. 90% is not 100% and you can see through it.
>>7882516why would you do lineart that isnt 100% opaque I can't think of any reason to do that ,it defeats the entire purpose of lineart
>>7882495You never want to leave empty space so you are going to colour it all anyway, it depends on what you want to have priority. For example, a blue shirt over skin. The blue shirt goes over the skin so you paint the blue all the way and over the line while the skin is only up to the line. Does that make sense?
>>7882619
>>7875107Hohoho. Verry nice my dude i will download and study this.This, this is Going straight to the Spank bank >post sponsored by the Bank of >S.P. ecial A. rt of N. otable K. wality
>>7882622I like all the eggs. I think a mommy dinosaur laying a big green egg would be a nice touch if you ever consider making another peice like this
>>7883278Thanks anon, but it really isn’t my idea, it’s just from a Jurassic era for kids kinda thing I got off google haha. I’m studying these environments for a bigger piece that I’m making for my cousin’s preschool so I think your idea would be perfect for it
>>7876572I luv me some scrappy drawings
I plan on painting this with watercolor, but for now all I've got is the lineart pass>>7877877>>7880422Thanks! To be honest this spread was the first time I started using acrylic markers so I'm not super experienced in them but I can explain what I did. I use a paint brush to blend colors together and mixed them on a palette if I couldn't find a marker with the color I wanted. I clean off my brush in a cup of water to keep colors from getting muddy. My sketchbook is pretty small, so it'd be hard for me to get such thin lines without the brush
Alrighty here is mine. I would say with confidence that all of us have been on the internet long enough to know where this is going, >Writing next part just in case:>Critique, repaint, photoshop, insult, trace whatever you want to do with this.if you want to.>>7882294 gives me vibes of miami vice
>>7884866Crap. Here it is
>>7883346very good. However the belly and face are fighting each other for visual dominance. Maybe make the belly stand out less?
>>7884867great angle
>>7885047Thank you.I seem to favour frog perspective/ low angles. Don't know why. ill try and expand beyond them eventually. Might be because i sent a long time grounding characters and trying to do a whole body at all times.
Yare yare
>>7885446Cool haha
>>7885077I was going to say, I think it was you who did an OC redraw fill for me, and it was also a low angle, and I really liked it. Don't fix what I aint broke.
>>7886226Oh. Could be. Havent done many of those. But could be...May i see it?Its also not about fixing: what i noticed is when i try new things related to art, it improves everything.Example If i try and learn to draw a horse, my human figures improve, somehowIf i try and challange myself by drawing a car..even when i fail, other things improove. Ecc .

A work in progress. It's nearly ready for a visit from the Black gel ink pen.
Gonna polish this off soon. Anyone see any glaring issues? I don’t wanna overlook something before I send it to print (just for me and some of my friends)Any help would be greatly appreciated
I think it's black gel ink pen time.I did mostly detail focusing drawing, getting black contrasts with a lot of repeated texturing with this cheap Bic ballpoint. The gel ink will let me define these Grey blobs into actual details. But here is the Before snapshot you will compare to the gel ink extravaganza.
>>7894798
Group Portrait, Colored Pencil on Paper.Was considering doing a painting, but this might be enough for this concept.Tag Yourself!

Vampire who likes to draw lewd stuff
>>7895978Very nice
half assed slime girl, might finish it later
Something I did few days ago as a random project. Never been good at faces so I just cope its my style of drawing them.
>>7896096Nice. Very graphic design movie cover-esque, do you usually do stuff like this
>>7896130Thanks anon.>do you usually do stuff like thisNo, I do variety of things but like 50-60% of stuff I do are character/hard surface/enviroment concept art for my own sci fi universe when I feel like drawing.
might work more on this at a later date, this guy is from a ttrpg im playing in. any suggestions?
need to work on more dynamic posing and angles.
>>7895208Aaaaww:3 Maybe~
Drew a catgirl
>>7891632
>>7897092You seem to have made progress my dude.Keep drillin and you'll find gold. :D
did a style study then drew this trying to take things i learnt>>7891632thank you!>>7887114 is me btw
>>7897408Thanks. Drawing fur is something I am still trying to get the hang of.
>>7891850I wasnt terribly happy with trenbologne shaggy. So i went for a H̵o̵m̵o̵e̵r̵o̵t̵i̵c̵ fabulous crusader look. Still got work left . Been hangin with frens lately so im moving at a glacial pace.
>>7897092Drew her again. Her face is a bit difficult for me to figure out at angles due to the way she is supposed to have a slightly cat like snout.
>>7898232I think im closong in on whats this supposed to look like
>>7898839The lighting looks really cool in this.
>>7898842Thank you. I have worked hard to get a good lighting and values on this. Im glad its paying off. Now just some time and polish
>>7896325Lord farquad if he were tall.WhatchjaplayinAS?
study
>>7899151Tried making it a bit more animu, also am I going crazy or does my shit look like ai? This is so fucking weird
>>7899163It was fine before, this is super unnecessary
>>7899163High resolution + visible strokes mostly dispells notions of it being a direct AI gen, but any referenced work is still going to arouse suspicions.
had to crop for filesize
>>7899237You can just increase compression if file size is an issue. You're already using jpg so it's not like you're worrying about loss.There's also downscaling.
After the black gel ink pen...(Will it appear right side up?)
>>7898839And im satisfyed .
A preview of current. Still composing it an hour or so at a time, deciding where the land meets the water and how far away the hills become mountains. I might try black ballpoint to ink it followed by black gel ink.
>>7899237This looks fucking awesome man>>7900433It's satisfying to see it finished. Good job anon.
>>7900819Thank you (overly muscular crusader)>>7900770Heey. Thats preatty good.What did you use to learn to draw like that (whats your first..how to draw x channel/book. What inspired you ecc.>>7899146I never tought about how an afro would work on a siren . >>7895856I like your forhead ??tattoo?? design element. Keep up your studyes and best of funs to you.
>>7898573More of her, this time from an angle that showcases her snout a bit more.

Did this yesterday, I don’t really like it
>>7901396The helmet looks really nice.
>>7901418ty :)
>>7900825I have a fictional world, and I feel obligated to add to it. Thinking up What Happened Next is to be the First Audience to the story unfolding. I drew a demon head in a new sketchbook and gave it existence in my world,and that started a storyline that lasted 180 strips, and only two thirds told. I recommend getting a story on paper just to see where it goes, and refining that story can be done later. See where it goes. https://youtu.be/s8d8CmhEe-A?si=pw81ojH7p6hj4hwphttps://youtu.be/UoTBkDRWCSw?si=1-QAQzRWY5vWaTzR

Tried another slight perspective from the side with the light source above. The CRT's are purely for the ambience, not light. I love the old school anime look so much it's unreal.
>>7901104Been drawing her in a bunch of weird poses during the past week.
Thoughts?
>>7905470this might convince me to never come back here
>>7905470Genuinely kill yourself tranny
>>7874058Is this good?
>>7905470one of the skills i find hardest to learn is consistently being able to compose real-feeling, emotive, and often intimate character interactions. this is really, really well done, and it feels like you set it down it naturally, like when someone is so good at something they make it look easy. great stuff.
>>7905470ruined my day
>>7906080Cool fellas, what are they?
>>7906159Zuckers, mosquitoes that got turned into biomechanical Synsects. Got others and been workin on lore for everythin.
Just finished this today.
>>7874058what im currently working on
>>7905470Congrats on making the vilest thing in the history of /ic/
>>7906606Hell yeaa brother.Keep on struglin BROTHEER.Win or loose, You are going to FINISH, in STIIILEEE.BROTHEEER.
>>7874058current drawing. i'll turn the background into something with more contrast later.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but could you help me choose a design for a character? I've come up with a few ideas for her head and chest, but I'm not sure which combination would work best. Also, I just realized that I should have written "shoulders" instead of "shoulder.">>7906363That's a really nice comic. Crash's body looks a bit off in the sixth panel, butI love how the characters express themselves through both her facial expressions and body language. Also, the last three panels look really cool and funny.>>7906606That's quite a cool Maleficent chick. I really like her face, and I like the way you colored the image. It's refreshing to see brushstrokes in a digital drawing.>>7906811The contrast between his face and body is interesting. He has an attractive and approachable face with a masculine appearance, while his body is that of a dedicated warrior. On the other hand, I can’t help but feel that his forearm and hand look a bit odd. His sword also seems small, though I must admit that I don't know much about weapons. Perhaps it's a type of sword I'm not familiar with.
>>7906788is this a reference to something im not getting or just genuine funny praise? either way thanks>>7906847>>7906847>That's quite a cool Maleficent chick. I really like her face, and I like the way you colored the image. It's refreshing to see brushstrokes in a digital drawing.thanks so much, glad you like it ^^ the colours are picked from this little palette i found

How I need a flatbed scanner. This was the best I could do with my phone camera, and pencil is notoriously glare prone.
Wanna to draw normalfag memes with waifus. Any suggestion?
>>7906847Thanks. I’m still trying to get used to drawing him. The toughest part is getting his upper body to look right since he has no neck and his shoulders are pretty much at eye level.
Consider a character from street fighter like Juri or chun li maybe.
>>7907645>>7907341
>>7907699what level of "loner" did yall achieve to amount to artwork like this. its insane. I reached like level 104 loner to achieve mid art, or at least basic understanding of shapes and line control
I need to come up with a better background
>>7907712lel thanks anon, its a study before i start working on her portrait using the good ole grayscale to color method
>>7906606finished it today :)
Work in progress. My ip range of my home wifi is banned all of a sudden so for now I'm a dirty phone poster.
Playing with markers
>>7908175And this. Think of me what you will
Do I have potential? I used to draw a lot as a kid but gave up due to self esteem issues. It’s been a long time, I haven’t really drawn smut since I was a young teen… This was fun. On iPhone. >>7907699I like the way you paint color. It might help sell the effect to have the coloring on the hands be slightly affected by the white light outside of the frame to help sell the illusion?>>7907731Another beautiful use of color but your textures lack a sense of purpose. You kept the life of the eyes in tact which is the most important imo>>7908145I love the lighting in the background, and the sense of motion in the overall piece but something about the texture of the hair and clot thing feels off. Is this for a larger project?>>7908149Gorgeous colors but something about the values seems a little skewed/washed out. Like the hues are amazing but the tones are strangely dark or light in places which flattens the overall subject>>7908175>>7908178What are you trying to convey? I like your shapes and lines but the subject matter feels non compelling imo. Good practice though.
>>7908149Wonderful
>>7908214>What are you trying to convey?Just practicing what I can do that's comfortable and improvised, and seeing what anyone has to say about tone or whatever as I figure out what I can use it for
>>7908229Seems like you have good control over the tone and line weight, I’d just keep going, do as much as you can, look for what really inspires you and makes you feel something. That could be emotion or a sense of thrill.
>>7908234I've got some cool ideas. Thanks
And another one.You can thank Nocturne (good vidya) and hellsing for zis one
>>7908214Yea you have potential in fact your drawing is pretty awesome
>>7908214>something about the texture of the hair and clot thing feels offthe clothes are supposed to be magical hence the particles around the dress on the bottom character. it was supposed to look kind of reminiscent of a tornado. and for the hair i guess i just struggle with it but no its not really part of a larger project but maybe it could some day idk.
>>7874058Can someone tell my why my drawing sucks?I would like to stop being a worthless beg one day
>>7908568
>>7907646Nice, love this kind of line art. How do you usually draw faces?
>>7908569Pussy from that angle would show asscheeks and perhaps hole, consult porn for reference.Foreshortening/perspective between the hips and chest isnt quite right, you’ve gotta make it look like the midsection leads up into that smaller perspective further away headOtherwise your face is quite emotive, the pose is nice, and your coloration/medium tone shading is actually so good i would say you are worth it as an artist
>>7908720Really I thought my shading was a pile of shit. But thanks I'll work on my perspective
>>7908610I also drew the image above
Aaaaand this is probably gonna be the last one I do for a while.
Can I get some critique on this, Im not too sure where to go from this, does it more saturation?
Finally overcame my avoidant behavior and finished this. Over a year from sketch to final piece. Embarrassing. Gouache and Watercolor Pencil.
>>7909107Forms aren't well defined
>>7905470you can create so much stuff with art, bring imagination to life, why choose ugliness? is your fantasy really this?
>>7908214>Do I have potential? I used to draw a lot as a kid but gave up due to self esteem issuesyeah, it was clear that you understand shapes and anatomy in that drawing also composition wise its good. and some advice if you dont mind: if you want to draw smut and you have no idea where to get ref, you can get your stuff from /s/ or other gooner board in this site; nudity is the fastest way to learn anatomy and fundamental in smut drawing, something like gravure collection helps you with compositioning and pinning the focal point in your subject anatomy>It might help sell the effect to have the coloring on the hands be slightly affected by the white light outside of the frame to help sell the illusion?thanks, youre right, definitely going to use that advice in my future project if there's a similar composition in therecheers
Bonnibel is showing off.Would like to if someone of you will upload it on rule34
>>7909134Looks nice
does anyone have the problem where they just naturally barely ever draw men because women are just more pleasing to draw and look at
I'm not very happy with this one
>>7909107I like the unnerving smile>>7909134love the motion
First time doing a render study after not having done so in a while. I neglected to use blend/blur brushes and mostly stuck to using opaque brushes and custom smear and soft-edge brushes.
