>>482 This is suffice enough. Thanks anon.
>>481 Right, sorry about that. >>480 What? Is it because I am a dumbass for asking requests? If so, then yeah sorry about that. I thought that this thread would take requests, and one just did so actually.
>>482 Draw this fag character getting killed by a good character, hell make Link or Cloud kill this character. That is if you want to. I'm just suggesting some new ideas to get the fan of Undertale/Deltarune to leave this place.
>>485 Not gonna lie I liked Undertale despite its extremely hit or miss sense of humor and gay/furry overtones. I guess as someone who'd played a lot of scrolling shooters in my day the gameplay mechanics were fairly satisfying.
>>488 Then by chancy, could you at least just draw the character? If not, that's fine. I'm not asking anything that is high art or whatever, just if anyone here wouldn't have mind drawing him. But again, it's clear that m asking should be on v. >>485 I understood I was a fool for asking on loomis since now I know this isn't a request thread.
Or were you the one who drew it before of that other drawing?
>>490 >>489 It's a principle thing, sorry. No harm in asking but thank you for your understanding. I'd encourage you to try your luck on /v/ or-even better-let's start you learning to draw this charming goatfella yourself. Do you have a pencil and paper handy?
>>493 I actually have been drawing for some time here an dthere. Just that I tend to either get lazy because I feel like my drawings aren't quite what I envision or I sometimes let doubt get to me where I pretty much say that other artists are better than what I can do. Of course, the latter is being a fucking retard, so forget that point. But sure, I'll later provide some drawings I did before, so i'll say I did improve since for 4 years I have drawn, but I am still not there yet.
>>494 Awesome, looking forward to seeing them.
What's the difference between Draw thread and practice thread? I may be posting in wrong one.
>>566 Practice thread is a dumping ground for fundamentals studies (anatomy studies, figure drawings, still lives, thumbnails), draw thread is for completed works you want to show off or receive comments for. There's a lot of overlap between the two so don't worry too much about it but that's just the general idea.
>>567 Also you can definitely be forgiven for any confusion given the complete dearth of activity-we're still recovering from the migration from 8kun so there isn't a lot of content in any of the generals yet.

The rough and the final (I adjusted contrast in GIMP) for comparison. I took a gamble with the hair and used charcoal. I botched it lol I wanted dark hair for this one but I don't have the proper graphite pencils yet. I also failed in the composition as I should have included the full hair style and full arm for context. Also this took me too long to finish because various reasons lol :)
>>682 You did a good job with the emblem on her necklace thing, as well as the pattern on her glove. The face is good as usual and I think you did a better job on the hair than you're giving yourself credit for. I feel like her chest area appears a little bare and some subtle impression of the sternum may have been warranted, however I know it's not always that easy to see. Same with the little triangular furrow that typically appears between the insertion of the anterior deltoid and the pectoralis which admittedly I'm not certain if it's typically visible when the arm is in that position.

The curse of the devil trips is reversed. Only cute wholesome shit from now on.
So, a quick question, a certain artist I follow stated in a blog that if one were to write or draw something down before 15 mins were up, that would prevent something from the brain that has a problem with creativity. Is that true?
>>802 I'm not an artist in any way but can confirm that this works insofar as writing goes. I spend a lot of time writing both creatively and professionally and if I don't have anything workable on the screen in fifteen minutes or less it just wasn't ready to happen yet. I can't guarantee this'll work for anyone else. In school I was the type that "tested well", meaning that I perform best when under pressure of a time constraint, which would explain why this method helps me get the framework of something good to build on.
>>803 Ah, sorry. I didn't mean it in that aspect. the artist was referring to how before 15 mins were up after one woke up, they would be able to do things like draw or write something that they would usually scoff at or would hate. It's something I heard that can improve one's own way of drawing from what I heard. But thank you for your shared advice. That to can be useful in certain situations.

Found these old drawings from when the board was first created (what was it, seven years ago?), back in the days before Hotwheels was twisted by the dissonant whispering Chaos. I had an idea for a series of drawings that (as usual), barely managed to materialize. "40K Kripple Kart" Apart from a few now-obvious perspective errors I still think they're kind of cute.
Edited last time by loomis on 11/18/2020 (Wed) 05:28:26.
>>862 Man this takes me back when anons used to praise hotwheels and /int/ was the boogeyman of the day. Oh how have the midget have fallen, and how our boogeyman was right all along.
So, I did this back on September when there was the 5th annivsary of the game. To note, I hope anons here don't judge me because of the shit fandom, as I agree some parts are shit. But, I hope this suffices for now. I'm gonna try to draw once I build a desk since I heard that was the best method.
I can show some other drawings I did back in the day. Although, Idk if there are those here who hate artists who use refs, as I used to back then and still do now.
>>874 >Idk if there are those here who hate artists who use refs, as I used to back then and still do now. Dafuq?! Everyone uses references. That's how humans learn. You can't draw things you haven't seen. Everything created by humans is just the product of their experiences.
>>875 Forget /ic/, deviantart are the ultimate crabs.
>>875 Well where I am from, some tend to think it's on some level of bad stuff. Somehow, just trying to use a model or art of a character isn't enough and you should only use your own head for drawing instead.
>>876 What now?
>>878 Are you unfamiliar with the concept of “crab” artists, who drag others down with bad ideas, bad art beliefs, bad advice, and constantly shit on other artists? Hating on artists for using refs is a great example of that.
>>879 Oh, not really that much. I did hear Devinart having some type of mob that does shit to artists who don't follow their own rules and agenda really. But for using refs? What the heck?
Off-topic here, but NSFW is not allowed in loomis correct? Also, what do anons think of those who draw fictional porn? Stuff like furry, loli, cub, rape, nechro, vore, etc? I'm just a lurker here, but I would like to know the rules here on this take.
>>881 NSFW is allowed, I don't know why the hell this is marked as a SFW board but I can't change it, I'll ask Mark about it at some point. I would appreciate if any hardcore pornographic images are spoilered is all.
>>880 Sorry, I meant to add that I am unfamiliar with what you described. Mind going into more detail about it?
>>882 Alright, thanks for answering. I just thought you might have had problems with it, espically those who do drawings of things like loli, cub, rape, gore, nechro, etc.
>>883 The term crab comes from the phrase “crabs in a bucket”. Fishers don’t need a lid on a bucket full a crabs because the crabs will all drag the other crabs down as they try to escape. Deviantart autists are obsessed with their own made up rules about stealing and “cheating” in art. There is constant drama about who’s original character is stealing from someone else’s over dumb shit like similar color schemes, poses, backstories. Likewise, using a reference is often called both stealing and “cheating”. Because these dorks can’t tell the difference between tracing and using a reference.
So, there's this shit I found in case anyone here might actually give a critique in a sense of sorts. Some anon went crazy in /v/ over it. NSFW. Not hardcore porn and not really porn per say, but it is explicit.
>>882 As an addendum, this is largely a board about art improvement, it's not a board about porn for porn's sake and anything other than relatively vanilla stuff tends to attract autistic porn freak lunatics who have no interest in creating art but who can nonetheless be hard to shrug off. There's a lot of stuff that, even if it's "technically legal", I don't really want it to be a feature here either. Professional nudity is NSFW and expected and I don't think that seeing two girls sucking eachother's tits or a cock going into a vagina is going to hurt anybody but there's a point where "porn" basically becomes /b/-worthy shock imagery and not something we want or need on here.
>>887 I decided to fucking take a look, and... it's not really porn action, but more or less casual nudity. It does include some things that I think most would agree is in a weird take. Not sure if one can say it's NSFW in the sense of porn, but it is explicit. Really through, this poster should have just posted it somewhere else. I don't know if you would agree.
>>886 What good would a critique "of a sense of sorts" of someone else's work you "found" do for you? Have you just come here to post images you like?
>>889 Is the image that bad that I am imagining it to be? Given the recent anon's statement, I would suppose they might be asking for a critique seriously, but still, does that really need to be on here?
>>889 I just thought some artists on here wouldn't mind giving a judge of fairness about what they thought of this particular artwork is all. I'm sorry if it caused a disturbance, as while it is a bit on the "weird" side, it is not blatant hentai and nudity has been a subject of critique to even today of paintings and using adult models to paint after.
>>891 At least it isn't hardcore porn, but please do remember that there are other boards here that can suit your taste in whatever you enjoy. This board is mainly for SFW art after all. >>885 Ah, okay. Thanks for the definition and on Devinart's crazy fans. From the original character stuff to similar details of art, and really, somehow using a drawing just for ref is like tracing over it? What have they been doing to think that way?
>>885 Is there any other site that is like devinart btw?
>>888 > It does include some things that I think most would agree is in a weird take. Yeah, I agree. That (>>886) shit's kinda weird.
>>893 >Is there any other site that is like devinart btw? conceptart.org artstation.com
These sites don't have the infantile and degenerate community of Deviantart though.
>>894 How so? They aren't in any postion of hardcore porn smut, and there is nudity of fictional characters that have been stated to be art. What makes this piece so different? Nudity doesn't always equal sexual stuff, and this strikes me as just your typical would be exhibit art since it's casual.
>>895 interesting. >>896 By infantile and degenerate, I would assume you mean fetish fans and people who basically cry if anyone has a different opinion? But that's nice to hear. Devinart is shit.
One of these lead to a different site instead: https://thecoldestwater.com/ = conceptart
>>899 >One of these lead to a different site instead: Then I'm sorry. I haven't used that site ever since I've learned that JavaScript is evil. Forums are a waste of time anyway. Image boards are the ultimate form of communication.
>>900 That I can agree on. It's the best. But thanks for that other site. I'm finding artwork that I haven't even seen of some of my favorite characters. Also, did you rate my drawing by any chance?
Is it worth making an account on here? What are the benefits?
>>873 What do anons think of this drawing? Anon here asked, and everyone forget because some idiot thought his nsfw image needed judging when he should be fapping it to himself on some other board. Sure, it's fine here and it's spoiled, but come on, this is a art improvement thread. Aside from that, I don't really know how to critique, but I would say it's a start. It needs improvement most likely.
>>910 Looking at the picture for one second was already plenty enough for me. I don't want to look at it, but that's necessary for a critique. So that's that.

>>1154 A calarts cutie-pie. Nicely done anon; I like her jester hat
Took the advice to study real eyes and cross referenced a lot of photos. It was very helpful. Should have been a more obvious course of action to me, really. I want so badly to get down to the nitty-gritty of hair, but I should probably just stay on course and grind angles and expressions for a while.
>>1157 It's interesting how a few strategic shapes of tone (whether solid or in this case a gradation) can add more depth and form to a stylized line drawing that the perspective relationships between the features alone cannot. Looks good, in lieu of having anything else to criticize about it I wonder if that ear should be a smidge bigger.

(337.72 KB 1320x825 gilda-gondola-desaturated.png)

>>1190 Wholesome piece. A little note: I'll just assume you did the following thing not out of laziness, but some other circumstance. The most distant Gondola, affected the most by aerial perspective, is either too light, or the grassy hill behind him is too dark (If we were shooting for realism.). I say that because if I take the closest Gondola as a reference point while looking at his local value in comparison to the grass below his feet (not looking at the grass in shadow but the actual grass in light), I notice that his local value is darker than the one of the grass, which makes sense because browns are usually rather dark and the grass color you've chosen is rather bright. So if we assume the very distant Gondola is in front of the hill and therefore affected less by aerial perspective than the hill. That would naturally mean, he should have a darker value than the very distant hill. You're relating object of the same time to each other, but you also need to look at the relationships between the objects. *autism off*
>>1197 You're relating object of the same type to each other
>>1190 Now that I take a closer look at your painting, the grass color is actually pretty dark. The sky conveys a bright day. The grass is very dark for such a scene. This makes the Gondola have almost the same local value as the grass.
>>1190 Here's what I would've changed. (I also increased the contrast a bit and toned down the oranges, because to me the image felt overly orange.) You can decide for yourself weather you find it more successful or not.
I should've made the grass brighter... forgot

Doing a webcomic so I drew out the three main characters and I'm experimenting with proportions and shading techniques so quality is kind of all over the place, but I definitely think I'm making progress. Just have to refine it and nail down how I want to express it. With all that being said, anyone got any tips on lettering? My handwriting is dogshit and the only font tool lettering in Krita that gives off comic vibes is comic sans and I feel dirty for using it.
>>1501 A little late but honestly they don't look all that bad, they ARE a little small but no one cares except fo*t f*gs anyway. The real challenge I suppose is getting them to look like they're firmly planted on the ground and then arranging the figure around them as such. >>1591 >tfw no Kaylie gf or mysterious always-shirtless musclebro You've got a ways to go in the draftsmanship department but you'll get there; keep practicing.
>>1591 Wild Words is pretty standard among scanlation teams. Fonts aren't normally a part of the software unless they're tied to it by license (so not in the case of Krita), they're installed on your computer. You'll have to download one from somewhere, none of the defaults mesh very well with comics, although I think I've read some people use Calibri. The text tool in Krita sometimes causes crashes though, be sure to save before using it. You might be better off using a different program altogether for typesetting, but I have no idea what that would be.
>>1591 Blambot has comic fonts that are free use for indie/webcomic stuff. Or any of those 1001fonts dot com type of places where license free fonts are uploaded.
>>1596 would you able to define more specifically what you mean by the 'draftsmanship' part? I do appreciate the feedback.
>>1601 Your lines and shapes are stinky and weird. Your hatching doesn't come across as tone and looks more like a bunch of individual, inconsistent and very fine eye-catching surface details that are completely distinct from everything else and draw the eye away from the bigger picture, rather than describing the way the forms turn in space. The lines in the little doodles with constant line weight, like the MRE scene, feel more cohesive and less distracting and, as such, are not stinky and less weird.
Not >>1630 but they summed up some of your issues, albeit in a rude way. I can't find the specific video I remember, but there is actually a ton of brief but very good videos on refining line art that are well worth watching that explain the process, it's kind of a "youtube search + take your pic" kind of thing. If you come across any work by "Art Chad" on this board take a close look at how he does it for example. >pic related Note the varying line widths, the compressed "hidden" lines and so on. Hatching is a bit different a beast but the idea is to convey the three dimensional form of the subject with it.

>>1650 Thanks fam. I tend to not use the words realist, impressionist or anything like that because they're really poorly defined. I was just using it for the meme, lol. There's an idea of impressionism where you recognize that vision is light hitting your retina and you as a painter can recreate that effect by painting what you "see" on your canvas. So like, not painting the "thing" but instead painting the impression of it. If you just keep working on this, you'll end up at what most people would call "realism". But there's also the impressionist movement which is usually what people think about when they hear the word. It's in the movement where it becomes more of a "style" and can even drift away from the original impressionist idea. I'd consider my painting very strongly oh the "impressionist idea" whereas >>1647 is more impressionist in the sense of style (less so on the fourth one). Sorry for the 'tism text but it's one of those things I feel compelled to talk about whenever it's brought up. >>1651 To be honest, a lot of normies do like it when they're given the opportunity to see it. It's just that they're not ever exposed to it or when they are, they're often not exposed to the really good stuff.

Your shoes could be a little better, particularly those on the Big Guy®. Consider doing a few studies of shoes using sketchfab-or even using them as a reference for your own designs. https://sketchfab.com/search?q=shoe&sort_by=-relevance&type=models Another thing, I think you did a disservice to yourself by drawing all of the beers manually because a lot of them are a bit inconsistent. Don't be afraid to ctrl+v something like that. To break up the monotony you could draw the beer he's holding at a stronger angle, and give the labels themselves some variation in which portion of the label is displayed and which portion is obscured by the curvature of the bottle.

>>2288 Oh by the way, I think you did a pretty good job with the directional lighting, man. The colors fit nicely. One more thing: it might not hurt to add a bit of implied dimension to the bed. Instead of having it completely dead on straight you could add a subtle front plane and maybe make a little bit of the headboard/pillows more visible.
>>2278 Is your native language read right to left? If not I don't know why you structured your characters like you did. This has a mild "punchline" to it where one character rambles and the other isn't paying attention. The viewer's attention should first be brought to the speech bubble to read the rant and then slide over to the other bubble when they "get bored" leading to the zinger that the dude bro is asleep and isn't listening. As is I suppose the toad image is so centered and colorful it draws your attention to it immediately anyway, but for future reference if you're writing in English you should set it up so the panels flow in a similar manner to reading a book.

>>2292 Wew, completely forgot about checking back on the thread so apologies for a late response. Yeah, a lot of those mistakes I've noticed that after a certain period of drawing I start to go on autopilot and I just start doing things without really thinking about them. Like for instance, I actually copy-pasted all those bottles for the sketch, but for the line work I just started inking them one by one and didn't really realize what I had done until I was painting the reflections on them. I think the solution going forward is that I really need to break my drawing sessions into pieces rather than drawing for 8-10 hours straight. Also the shoes being lumpy and shitty can be attributed to have drawing his legs at a dozen different angles and admittedly forgetting to fix their shape after finding the correct angle. Although that sketch fab site is actually really nice and I found a model of shoes that are pretty much the shape I was going for, so at least I won't have an excuse to not draw them on model every time.from now on, so thank you for that. As for >>2292 part of the joke was that the speech bubble gets cut off by the page's border right before he calls them 'glowniggers' and the idea was that the viewer would see the large colorful thought bubble first while the the rambling is meant to be noise in the background.

A friend spontaneously asked me to do a "study" of a picture of a mutual friend of ours awkwardly cutting cheese with a weird hand position. As I thought the picture was amusing as well I agreed. I'm not a painter and unfortunately I don't understand much about color and stuff like that but I gave it a go. I do not like Philip Guston at all and his simplistic, smelly, greasy work was the first thing that came to mind as I finished this. I could have spent more time refining the shapes themselves but color, value and all of that sort of thing are completely outside of my paygrade. Was fun to try though! I need to do this sort of thing a lot more often as there is a lot of stuff that works much better/faster as a painting.
>>2914 People act like color is some mysterious wizardry, but really, if it doesn't immediately make you go "ugh" or burn your eyes, it's probably fine.
>>2919 For what it's worth, I failed in a lot of ways in the drawing aspect as well lol. I understand where you're coming from but I was really kind of taken aback by how difficult it was to get the "right" color, accounting for hue, saturation etc. It was a learning experience that's for sure but admittedly I was lazier than I should have been, too. Just have to move on to the next one I suppose.

>>2955 You've got some neat ideas, but you could do more to help the viewer make sense of what the details are structurally. For example with these heads, I can't really tell if the stuff on them is clothing or some kind of carapace. Maybe try to either separate them more clearly, or make a point of demonstrating how they blend in with the skin. As details get denser they begin to read as texture. That's cool, but unless you specifically want it to look uniform the next step would be to assign local values to things to make them stand out. Depending on how you arrange them it completely changes the impression, so that can be fun to play around with. I defiled one of your drawings to illustrate, sorry.

(1.89 MB 927x923 ClipboardImage.png)

My latest thing I did
>>3327 Neat. Textures like grain, particularly in combination with the sort of Drop Shadow like occlusion you've used in places tend to make surfaces look flat, i feel it gives drawings a paper cutout look. I'm getting a bit of that impression. I'm not complaining about any of this in itself, it doesn't necessarily make a drawing worse, but it also doesn't necessarily make it better. You are at a level of skill where you really should make very conscious choices about what goes into a picture and what doesn't. Between the aforementioned and the chromatic aberration you are going quite heavy on what is fundamentally rather cheap effects, and I think you should ask yourself what role they play in the picture compositionally. Do these things actually complement the rest of the content, or do they distract from it? If you must have them, how can the picture be composed to use them?
>>3327 Very cute, it kind of reminds me of "a Hat in Time". I don't find the "noise" texture particularly offensive even in its uniformity unlike the other anon, it just kind of looks like a stylistic choice in this instance (the character is a cartoon witch, so looking like a paper cutout isn't necessarily out of place if that's the intention)-I'm also not sure what he means by "chromatic aberration", as far as effects goes all I see is a photoshop noise filter. Maybe he means the rim light? At any rate, if you think that poster does have a point perhaps check out this video by Mohrbacher (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cz387Vy0Ps0) in which he talks about applying texture more selectively and tastefully (though he is working on a more realist piece). Things I would pick out: Some of the areas you haven't used a gradient stand out a bit too much. The tongues of flame reflected on her hat and the shaded area in the center mass of that hat and the ribbon around it for example. I think it would be best if we couldn't see those individual brush strokes as easily and instead they were more seamlessly integrated with the areas they're embedded in somehow. Something about the hard angle in the light spot of the chin irks me a bit, I think for me that contrast from an area of mostly curves almost creates a focal point. As small and subtle as it is, I still think it might be worth giving it a more rounded appearance if not perhaps omitting it entirely. The sparks coming from her sword, something about them I don't care for much. I think there's a uniformity to their positioning, orientation and length that ought to be broken up a bit. You could also try experimenting with a little more gaussian blur and the like, here. In the case of that long one you have emerging from the contour where her sword and dress overlap I think you could do without that entirely. I'd say it's technically a tangent as well even if I'm being a little anal in referring to it as such (https://schweizercomics.tumblr.com/post/11966164633/the-schweizer-guide-to-spotting-tangents). Some of the sparks are also creating tangents. Try and shuffle them around a bit and see if you end up liking the result. There's also the matter of her eyebrows. Cartoons aside, the eyebrow on the viewer's right ought to be a little smaller in volume in relation to the one to the viewer's left as it's further away, it'll aid in the implied perspective. Overall, good shit anon. I'm looking forward to seeing more work from you.

>>3329 >>3330 Thanks!
>>3330 Chromatic aberration is an optical phenomenon often visible in photography. In that context it is generally considered an undesirable error, but it's recently become popular to simulate in art. If you look closely at the lines there's a bit of colour fringing around it; that's what I'm referring to. To expand a little on what I meant just to clarify, I don't particularly dislike it, although a lot of artists who are probably also photographers are very butthurt about the trend. I do think however that like anything else it should be used thoughtfully to bring attention to a focal point, or strengthen an impression. For example, in photography it's commonly visible around overexposed highlights, so it could be appropriate to use around a strong light to tell the viewer that it's really glaring. But regardless of how you might apply it you are introducing colours that might not harmonise with the rest of your palette. If it serves no purpose in the composition it's just a gimmick, and unless there's some other reason to put it there you ought to reconsider its presence, again, as with anything. But "I think it looks cool" is a valid motivation, by all means do it, I just wanted to raise the point in case it's something you hadn't thought about.

>>3500 Haha nice, you just reminded me how often I see faces in stuff and think out characters and cartoons for them.
>>3500 That's really cute anon. One thing that both Kim Jung Gi and Glenn Vilppu stated that sort of resonated with me recently is the idea that you should always be drawing as much as possible (that's a given)-and not necessarily in the physical sense (this part was new to me). Vilppu rightly says that we draw with our brain moreso than with our hand (I'm paraphrasing a bit because he says we "don't" draw with our hand but I don't think he means that literally) so you should always be taking in things as much as possible from your environment. Then in KJG's more recent interview on Proko's youtube channel he talks about his time in the military and how, though he wasn't able to draw anything because of being in the middle of intensive military training, he would observe things in a manner similar to if he was, basically reiterating what Vilppu said. >he also mentions something about drawing on his hand a lot, the guy is a fanatic Anyway, coming up with characters based on everyday objects would be a good example of this, it wouldn't be a bad idea to scrounge around a bit and see if there's any other things at your work that inspire you in a similar way.

>>3121 No, not a secret - but, months later, it's still a bit of a mystery to me. But if I had to teach someone how to emulate my style in general, including my paint style, I think I'd still have a lot to say. I like to use shades of grey to apply and blend values. I like uneven hue and saturation so I'll often throw in and experiment with random colors. I find it easiest to get the feel of lighting right if I first apply shading as "strips," almost very thick outlines, along the contour of forms. I'd describe my approach as generally being edge-based, and that seems to lend itself nicely to emulating the look of flash photography, which I'm kind of a a fan of, even though I don't do it particularly often. The principle of subtle taper and gradients is applied in basically every main element of coloring (hue, value, etc).

>>3798 I like what you're doing with your midriffs. The big hands on that character are cool too, I honestly really like her design. That said, the gesture of the tail is a little weird. It turns very sharply and doesn't seem to really follow the overall gesture of the body. It also seems to attach quite far up, basically at the small of her back. Assuming she has a mostly human pelvis the tailbone is a lot further down even if we account for the possibility that it's differently shaped than on a regular human (Say, curving outward rather than inward, and the sacrum being shorter). Also, watch it with the length of the legs in poses like that. Her left is quite a bit longer than the right. I dunno how your process looks, but it helps quite a bit with this to focus on the foot placement when you're drawing the pose.
>>3799 I see, thanks m8
>>3692 That's really petty anon.
>>3799 I agree with some of this except if the tail were any lower it'd be straight up her butt, it's fine. You're right about the leg though certainly.

>>3798 >>3799 >>3803 Where the tail begins is fine, it's in the right general area, what's causing the confusion is how sharp the tail curves upwards immediately. There should be a very small downward curve following the spine for the first inch, then a sharp raise. The tail is just an extension of the spine where you give it one more curve to compensate for the drop of the sacrum, then you get free range with it to do whatever you want, but you have to follow the curve of the sacrum when it first exits. I have drawn a diagram to help explain better. Both of your tails turn up a bit too fast to be convincing. The base of the tail basically has to do a full semi-circle before it can stretch anywhere above the point of origin.
>>3806 Why would you assume the tail followed the sacral curvature of a human?

>>3807 Because the tail follows the sacrum in actual monkeys? You could argue that the tail wouldn't necessarily start at the end of the sacrum as opposed to slightly higher, but at the end of the day, if a mammal or even a reptile for that matter has a tail, it's attached to the sacrum.
(107.12 KB 250x184 ClipboardImage.png)

>>3808 >>3807 Ah, sorry, I forgot the sacrum and the cocyx are considered two separate bones. Because the tail that humans used to have would be attached to the cocyx, which does in fact follow the sacral curve. Of course this all depends on how "cartoony"/realistic you want to be with your human monkey tail. Goku has it coming out at a 90 degree angle from the sacrum, which looks fine in that artstyle.
>>3808 This might sound odd, but I feel like a lot of monkeys look more like humans than apes do. I suppose it's because many of them have less of a protruding mouth than apes do.

Right now I've got the underpainting done so I'm just working on top and when that's finished I'll render it out and detail it a little.
>>3815 I'm sorry, I was just busting your chops, it's pretty good lad. I think you should soften those ribs a bit, keep in mind it's more the obliques/serratus muscles we see in that area which smooths the harsh shape of the ribcage out.
>>3815 Anon's chops busting aside, would you hold it against me if I admitted, at first, I kinda had the subtle impression? The body shape reads to me as having a certain delicate undertone (but that's not the intention, yeah?). Might be the round belly/abdomen shape, and the prominent naval and nipples, idk (Not a suggestion to change anything by the way; looks fine mang)

>>3816 I figured you were bustin' my balls - it can get hard to tell on the Internet when everyone relates everything to sexuality nowadays.

Harada's design of Laharl is kind of "cute" and he gets jokes as his expense based on his young age, height, that sort of thing. I do find that cute about him, Etna was designed to be loli fanservice material and Flone is also a cute/innocent character.

Tried painting different types of surfaces like metal and glass. I used many references but It didn't come out very good. Any advice?
>>4190 lol, that's pretty good, man. I think you did a decent job on the glass, I'm pretty bad at rendering so I don't have any advice myself other than generic stuff like "push your values" more. I think Scott Robertson has some videos from his "How to Render" book on Youtube that might be useful.
>>4190 I don't have any advice right now. I would like to say I didn't need this image in my life, but thank you now that it's here and I can't get rid of it.
>>4190 This might help. You should understand how light interacts with objects of different kinds. I mean the physics model. Material absorbs, reflects and refracts light (and probably does other things to light). Really understand what it means to be 100% reflective or 100% transparent (refraction changes the direction/angle of light rays/photons, which can also vary in strength). So 100% reflection is a mirror, which is made of a very thin, very smooth layer of metal protected by glass on top. To draw mirrors, understand the principle how every particle - when reflected - is reflected at the same angle relative to the reflection surface as it had right before it hit the surface. If the surface is rough, the reflection is blurred. If the surface is convex it starts to reflect more off the surrounding, while the viewer sees it as distorted from his vantage point. Transparency is easy. Just lower the opacity of the wash or mix the paint for the spot with the color that's behind. For glass in front of a brown bear, you would mix the brow n of the bear with the color of the light that is reflected off of the colorless glass. Less brown in the mixture as the reflection increases in strength. If the surface absorbs part of the light, the surface becomes darker and the complementary color to the absorbed wave length becomes visible. Refraction is the distortion of light which becomes very obvious in water or other mediums with a different density as air at room temperature. Hot air --> fata morgana, because of the distortion of the light send out from the distant object (be it a diect light source or an indirect light source through reflection). Water --> things seem offset by a certain angle when looking through a flat water surface. Round off the surface using a glass jar or waves, you'll get all kinds of fascinating distortion. Play around with the composition of those main three properties: - reflection (- roughness and texture, which is part of reflection) - transparency - refraction You can study those properties a life time if you want to understand them more and more, and how they interact with each other. Then you can start to also play around with the color or the light and the color of the object. Maybe a hourglass shaped glass container, which is semi transparently green in front of a yellow cube lit by a point light source a few feet away to the top right, which has a slightly blue color, while the surrounding has an overall purple atmosphere, while parts of the glass are rough and have scratches. There is a lot of fun to be had. When working from imagination, most people put down blobs of color which are informed by these principles until it looks right. But it's important that you could go in and actually make it photo realistic if you wanted to. But usually it's not worth the effort. There comes the question of why you are doing art and what kind of goal you're trying to achieve. - t. got bitten by a viper man who wrote this with one hand

She looked a little lonely. I don't really like how the lad looks here, something about his eyes is wrong to me, but I can't quite put my finger on what.
>>4430 Middle gent's left eye should be slightly smaller than his right due to the rules of perspective. Furthermore I think the entire face is slanted a bit to much relative to the position of his chin and crown of his head, making all of his facial features feel "off", but this is most noticeable in the eyes where the eye line is the most important cue for symmetry. Last you can almost never actually see the curvature of the human eye unless they're bulging, his left one looks like it's about to pop out of it's socket in it's current state with how curved you made it. It should probably look a touch better if you reduce the curve and size ever so slightly. It's only off a little bit, but enough to notice. Taking one last look, you have the upper eyelid so receded it looks like he doesn't have one on his left eye at all. That's also a bit distracting.

Ok, this was the last illustration of the old me. I'm no longer "Artchad the Gray", but "Artchad the White". You will from this day on notice a difference in the work I will share. I have quite a few connections to people who would pay me for the things I do, so I need to be presentable. It's not that I've changed just to appeal to others. But I changed, which now allows me to appeal to others. I'm not saying that I will no longer draw sexually explixit things, but they will have a different emotion within them. You might call them wholesome in some sense. I do no longer want to sin. I will start illustrating more biblical stories and high fantasy. I've just finished a chapter of my development as an artist. The old Artchad is no more.

Atlas, Carrying his Burger

(325.75 KB 807x1280 atlas.jpg)

>>5797 Well done achieving such clear and consistent values shading like that with pressure sensitivity. Solid work on the figure. That said, I think you could have shaded the burger better, you seem to have switched into detailing mode on that. Which is a shame, because that kind of inconsistency detracts from a piece. You have similarly cylindrical objects in the picture in mostly the same orientation, so the light should probably affect the borgar approximately the same way it does them (unless the light was very close but that's a different scenario) Also, an ellipse is symmetrical across both axes so you should be able to tell more or less where the far side of the bottom bread should go since you have a good ellipse on the lid of the burger, even if they should become more squished closer to the horizon line, that looks rather a lot too flat to me. Although I guess it does help silhouette his head when they don't overlap. Strictly speaking you also wouldn't see the outer edges of the bread bulging in like that if he's holding it up closer to to its center. The bottom plane is turned towards the viewer, so unless you meant to describe the edge as sagging down it could not realistically overlap his hands, if that's what you were trying to avoid. My redline is probably not super accurate though, do your own measurements.
>>5801 Looking again I'm beginning to think I may have been slightly retarded in my observation of your drawing. I haven't slept. Take it with a grain of salt, I guess.

>>5862 I think it came out pretty well, man. >now that you mentioned your torsos are long I literally can't not-see it and I'm not even sure if it's an objectively correct criticism or not, now.
>>5862 >>5864 The torso appears long because he's severely reduced the width of the body. Shoulders are only a little more than 1 head wide, and the torso is two heads instead of three. Thus the character has been made half as wide but two thirds as tall proportion wise. Because of the juxtaposition this makes the torso appear "long" by contrast. It's obviously a stylistic choice, so I can't call it "wrong" as much as "preference". Personally the rest of the anatomy is solid enough it works quite well. Not the best thing I've ever seen, but pretty good.

>>5925 If anything, I would say there are a few spots where there is a harsh blotch of pigment that looks a bit "conspicuous" and makes things look somewhat less even. A few of those occur in the chest area where it interrupts the kind of smooth, seamless rendering you exhibit towards the bottommost portion of the garment.

I spent about 10 hours making a flower. Source has purple spots, but I don't know, it's really fucking hard to get Photoshop brushes to do what I want. I think the dots may flatten it, but I also like them for the contrast they provide, they really make the petals *pop*. Regardless, I've been up for 18 hours at this point and I am exhausted. Wasn't going for 100% accuracy, just wanted to try painting in photoshop. Weird fucking posting issues.
>>5960 Rather than painting it looks like you're using vector graphics, gradients etc. It's a pretty decent reproduction from a lineart perspective. The bottommost petal is a little longer and thinner than that of the reference, the leftmost petal is a little more narrow, the negative space between the unbloomed flower and the petals on the right over and underlapping it is a bit larger, and some of the flower's stamen aren't exact-but it's pretty well done for what it is all-in-all. Keep practicing.
>>5964 >Rather than painting it looks like you're using vector graphics, gradients etc. Hrmmm, I see what you mean, but then, how do you avoid that? I was using a brush with very low opacity and very soft edges, is it something else I'm supposed to do? >aren't exact-but it's pretty well done for what it is all-in-all. Keep practicing. I'm aware, it wasn't lineart practice as much as painting practice, and while it certainly wasn't easy I wasn't exactly "tryharding" the line art as much as possible.
>>5966 >how to avoid Good question, I'm not much of a painter myself, but what I perceive as having been done in this piece is you used a soft round brush for the whole thing which kind of gave it an appearance similar to if you'd just used the gradient tool and made a "selection" in the areas you wanted to paint. To that end you've actually done a pretty skillful job, making it look as if it were done with a tool rather than a brush, however if you want a more "painterly" look it's good to use harder brushes with texture. I recommend watching some of Daarken's tutorials on his personal website, a lot of stuff about the nuances of digital painting from process to software. http://enliighten.com/blog/category/tutorials/page/9/

Here's a bunch of my OCs. I'm working on these for various game projects I'm doing. One thing I'm working on is a team of magical superheroines who work at a mall food court together and each have powers based on their individual store cuisines. I have these two done but I need to work on Desiree's profile art similar to Anna's - her weapon is a pair of flame gauntlets that shoot bullets that she calls her grill mitts. Then after her I still need to work on the remaining three team members. I have a lot of characters I need to draw and I'm mainly looking for inspiration on their warrior costumes. The fat snake girl is unrelated to them but it's my latest piece. She's a minor antagonist for something else.

dead board unless... is there a /loomis/ discord server?
>>6510 I think there isn't. Discuck is cucked.
>>6510 Yeah, the artfags mostly moved from /loomis/ over to artga.in/egaku/ quite some time ago. Then I found the site dead and I have no clue where they went to.
>>6510 Never go to discord, regardless of how popular it is, use element, it doesn't mine your data.
>>6570 The reason I'm here is that I despise shit like discord and twitter, but all these alt sites have slowly bled off over the years. A matrix room was actually made a few years ago but never took off, probably should have shilled it more aggressively.
>>6492 so the art gain imageboard is dead? The domain for it doesn't work anymore. what is that about?
>>6614 Apparently, yeah. I'm still not sure what occurred with it beyond most of /loomis/ leaving for artgain (and drawpile?), the activity dying over there and then none of them coming back. Someone else probably has a better understanding of what happened than I do but as far as I know that's the jist of it.
I stepped away for a while, our board was handed over to somebody (for the record, I don't believe I ever failed to log in within the limit to where the board would be made available under normal circumstances per 8chan ruless) who deleted the Drawpile thread instantly which represented 80+% of the activity over the past few years. I was a little upset about it. We've had a great guy lurking for the longest time who'd archived as much as he could on "ourobooru" but I don't think it was complete which I considered a tragedy and a serious personal failure on my part.
>>6620 That does rightfully suck but on the other hand the nature of art as a craft sort of ensures you can't keep every drawing and sketch out there. It is in a way part of the process of creating. And I'm a hypocrite for saying that since I still haven't tossed out shitty sketchbooks I haven't looked at for years.
>>6622 In reference to losing the art, I mean. It just plain sucks that a lot of users were lost as a result of it all.
>>6623 Good points on both counts, fella. Rather than the art itself though (although its safety was something I did consider important), I guess it was just the idea that the guy had tricked the staff here into giving it away without their attempting to reach out to me first. I know it was a regrettable and unexpected thing that the "new admin" did (and the people here did right by giving the board back in the end), but still. Anyway, time to move on one way or another.

>>6758 > Do you have any advice for exercises I could do or copy that would help me with that? For me "Scott Robertsons How to Draw" helped me tons with that. I think practicing simpler designs with a lot of focus on keeping the three-dimensionality of the details helps a lot. Also, just using thin lines and maybe very selectively making a line thicker or fade into a shadow shape.
>>6758 Focusing on keeping the structure and perspective of details intact is what I would focus on during practice for some time.
