I do not want to invest several more hours drawing buildings and detailed skyscrapers especially knowing that people will only view it for a couple seconds and move onto the next shitter. What's a good method to at least give the impression of a city so it'll help make the figure look more solid surrounded by scenery. All the guides so far has been "draw the rest of the owl" tier.
>Just leave her in the white void bro
No.

Unironically any pro these days would just grab a photo and trace it or apply a filter

Stop saying white void. Don't you have any original thoughts or words of your own? Why do you have to constantly signal that you're part of some in-group?

"Artists" are ironically some of the least creative people online.

i dont get when anime niggers complain about things like this, just fuck around with the light and do the first few floors only

make it so there is like a fucking eclipse and only one side of the image is getting lit because you know its getting eclipsed, she is a vampire so moonshit is thematically fitting

like??? these are not real illustrations, people only care about the little girl (btw zoom in), why worry about things like that?

thry leave building scenes to starving korean contractors with a technical drawing degree

>>7961367
wholeheartedly agreed.

>wahhhh i only care if people will pay attention to me

This isn't what art is and you aren't an artist.

Photobash a background, or just use a normal photo. If you really want to draw something, maybe try being impressionistic rather than clearly drawing everything. In your picrel, you/they probably could have gotten away with just drawing the windows and road, or just solid coloured cubes for the background.
Though, if you're doing this, you'll need to adjust who you draw your main character as well, to better suit the background.

>>7961367
Right, we should be constantly coming up with wild new slang every time we utter anything. Ooooh, you're so contrarian and counter-culture, anon-kun.
But I noticed that you're typing in english, the most spoken language in the world, are you a follower sheep or something? You should be speaking in Lemerig, not this mainstream common-man shit.

I was the one who came up with the term white voids you retards. It's my term I used to spite others like you who obnoxiously left a 1girlinthewhitevoid background to blind others with.

I wouldn't go that far. The girl is cute and it's a dynamic scene that you want to appreciate. He just needs to finish it.

You know..I kinda see your argument but at the end of the day theres no simple shortcut, there are of course derivative paths to the desired results but that may involve skills/senses/observation skills outside of strict line drawing and measurements. More specifically, simplification and a strong understanding of values, like what painters do (specifically those that do like urban or city landscapes or somehow just add those elements into their work) to suggest shapes and light reflection on glassy surfaces or other materials. You could go even further than that and say if your setting is sci-fi'ish or cyberpunk, you could add elements that feel complementary to the setting even if they're not structurally sound at first glance. Who said your buildings HAVE to be positive y axis set ALL the time?

As other anons have suggested, I dont think its wrong to use a photo as a basis to your composition as long as by the end of the process, its not a carbon copy of the original photo. IMO it is justified as a tool to save time and prioritize on the 'thing' that you specialize in or that you feel is worth spending most time on, the patty of your burger so to speak heh
I know pic is not the same perspective but the concept is still applicable.

proportions are giga fucked fix those or just drop this turd

Make some generic buildings and streets in Blender, find a nice angle for them, trace them, and then save them for reuse in future pieces.
>>
>>7961830
Yeah it takes 5 minutes to set up some rectangles in Blender and there you go, instant street view in perspective from any angle to want. No reason not to learn how to do it
>>
>>7961365
buildings should be much smaller in the first place or if she's falling parallel the walls the angle should be different
>>
Yeah I think this piece would have easily sold better if you just did the mockup in Blender.
>>
>>7962024
And like, have a whole ass bustling city beneath her, night sky, neon lights from the buildings and all that.

I think you should learn how to actually draw figures in dynamic poses before worrying about... whatever the fuck is going on in that background.

It's crazy that Mikufag has been drawing longer than posters here have been born and he's still /beg/.
Like I genuinely don't understand how that's possible, so many other artists have made leaps in their progress with a quarter of time spent drawing.
This isn't even me insulting him, he needs to really reflect on what went wrong and how to fix it.
>>
>>7962248
Miku is a woman. I'm not sure why you guys are so oblivious to this. Apologize and then I'll respond to the rest of what you said.

>>7962253
*SIGH* I've been saying this for so long for so many years I'm not gonna repeat myself. It's fine, call them whatever gender you deem fit.

Now for the rest of your post...

>>7962256
No. It's fine if you don't want criticism, but there's no point in marking myself so some schizoid eternally seeths at every post I make.
>>
>>7962258
That's fair. I probably would do that for insulting my dearest Mikusamasu.

You fags keep comparing yourselves to others which is why you're always in a miserable state, truth is talent does exist and you either have it or you don't. Once you come to terms of not having it you'll stop minding how others are doing and if you're continuing to compare yourself to others now you're in a sad state of affairs.
>>
>>7962265
My talent is not ever giving up. I will defeat all my enemies.
>>
>>7962267
Holy based
>>
>>7962265
Obviously you have to keep comparing yourself to others regardless of how much talent you or they have, because artists are competing for a finite amount of money/status/attention and you have to know how you measure up against the competition.
>>
>>7962280
>Treating attention and view counts as a form of currency
There will always be someone better than you, and you will never be happy. What you've just described right now is Indian behavior it's like you're constantly trying to rob others of their izzat kek.
>>
>>7962287
>There will always be someone better than you
