question, do you think it's easier to color in grayscale first or just color the normal way (base, shading, etc.)
Grayscale is faster but it's not easier
You need to know how certain colors work in black and white to achieve your desired results
Grayscale also isn't very effective on most art programs
Since usually it's a process involving just how good the software is at color manipulation like Photoshop
You can also just do it manually but it's very tedious
i find grayscale is better for checking values rather than to do colour in grayscale first

Sharing my wip here, what do you all think?

Do these proportions look correct?
what do u think
pixel icon commission
HB Skrunkly
I think it looks beautiful
Thanks
back doesnt appear to be curving to accomodate the shifted weight is all. other than that looks good
Wdym?
well
when you sit like that and shift weight to one side with ur arm
you bend over slightly
yet back you drew there is still sitting straight
So hunch his back a bit?
yea
I need Vermillion knight references
I started experimenting with color gradients
For a while ive only had that reddish tinting one
Does anyone have Tips on how to make the composition more intresting
Or this i dunni
Composition should be something you plan before you even sketch the piece
Although if you're gonna use the Golden Ratio, there's a lot of problems with that in your current sketch
heres what I would've personally done
rule of 3 grid for just placing the focal point, in this case, the face and the thighs
doesnt have to be perfectly aligned , just close to the intersections of the grid
Kinda like this?
i mean, that kinda works I guess
following my example, I used the golden ratio for the cloud placement
following the spiral
it also helps focus on the face
this works but it would be nice if her body sorta follows the spiral for dynamics, but you dont need to do this as its pretty confusing to make it like that
thats why I said using the golden ratio is gonna have some complications
Tbh the grid is kinda confusing to me thats why i used the golden ratio
Ill keep this in mind thanks a lot
One use for the rule of 3rds grid is placing focal points using the intersections
Another use is this
This image is composed of 2/3 sky and 1/3 land
And notice how the person/character is placed on the intersection of the grid
Here's another 2/3 sky composition
How Do i decide where to place focal points
Just choose between the intersections
The intersection are the points where the lines touch each other
You don't need to use all of them
The red circles are the intersections
Oh okay, im starting to understand it
Here's another composition but this time is 1/3 sky and 2/3 land
Rule of 3rds is basically choosing what part will take up space by 3rds
I tried to apply the grid
Idk if it follows the rule of the 3rds tho
Too high
Can you elaborate
Assuming the face is the focal point, it's too high up the intersection
Move it down a bit
I wanted the chin to be on the intersection
Why
If you want to add something interesting there then by all means
A focal point is basically where you Want the audience to look at mainly
Composition is just figuring out how to make the audience look at that area
New wip
idk how to draw armpits so... i'll leave it this way
Idk where light source to put help

hmmmmm what if you tried changing her eye shape a bit because her eye shape kinda makes her seem like she has a different personality compared to what she is actually like in game-
I love ur art sm

Improvement?
i think the nose can adjust to the right a bit, you put a grid there but you have to remember that the nose isnt flat so naturally the bridge wont follow the center line unless it's front facing

if you open up her trial stage you can screenshot her in any angle even if you don’t have her
Eyebrow expressions also help a lot!! You might not even have to change the eye that much with them :>

some painting practice
I need phoenix references, last character to add to this drawing
Then after I color her I can finally do shading and effects
did he just do a backflip with all that armour 
Side flip, and you'd be surprised to hear that medieval armour wasn't that heavy, it's weight distribution was quite good

AMAZING
FINALLY, I CAN SAY IM DONE WITH THE LINEART AND COLORING
No because there’s a reason to only have those 4
usually it does thats when you zoom in or your canvas is too small/ you're drawing on a canvas created by an imported picture

Woah that’s looking amazing!

Does anyone know how to add textures to your drawing just like in this video? Like I have the texture brushes but idk what layer mode to set it on to make the textures blend into the colors
I tried following along with Mogoon/ Modare (モ誰)’s workflow in order to learn his secret techniques. I did that by taking his course on Coloso and then did a copy study of his Raiden Shogun illustration. This video was the process of the study.
Copy Study PSD File:

M...
That looks so epic and sad

Layer type also matters, artist usually use screen, color dodge, color burn, etc
yea in that video it suddenly went from random black splotches to actual textures and Im confused on what layer type he used to make it like that
Digital art is so hard to do 🥲 I prefer traditional
Thank you!
Heres an easier way to go about thinking about texture. Think about how its made, texture is created by color variations within an object. The more color variations, the more texture there likely is. If something has a rough texture, use a lighter color and a stipple brush. If the surface is smooth like skin, pick out areas the light will hit more of. If youre working with metal, the higher contrast the better
This is the way art schools usually break it down for you. It takes some practice, but learning it like this should be more helpful
ah that makes a lot of sense
thank you sm

Yw!
Linear Burn for shadows
Screen for strong lights
Overlay for glow
I guess I still prefer Multiply for shading skin
hi, does anyone know of a wallpaper of kiana and elysia holding mei's skirt in the middle? i remember it's like a beach day picture but i can't find it in google
Half regretting attempting backgrounds. Why do I always push myself too hard?

I feel like I might know what you’re talking about, have you checked Honkais instagram/Twitter?
I wanna draw but am having the biggest art block rn 
And the drawing I’m make I’m on the most difficult part of it rn 
Or I was in the hardest part
Been delaying on it for months…
I’m really pushing myself too hard
Im doing it right now but i still can’t seem to find it
Damn 😭 good luck with your search tho
No literally I have like no inspiration and every time I start something it turns out like shit so I immediately give up
I did find this picture on reddit but still can’t seem to find the full picture
Back search it on google! I’ll do that rn :>
I think this is it!!!
Better quality one with the blue bg
Thank u!
You’re welcome!! Also I just noticed how amazing your pfp is lmao
Lol i likt it too

Bald rin
I headcanon all of the kaslanas as Sanrio girlies and now I need to go draw something for it
Pixel art
Uhm??
@timber rock do this
I could do better but I like it better to convert the images in some ways to pixel art and improve them in other ways.
Why she suddenly got like a mask with eye holes

This is pretty cool actually
Looks like some game character design
The playable ones
I can't stop looking at it

If this is done using an ai program then I'll probably consider using one to get ideas on and use some references on
it is done using ai program
I consider using AI to make character design now
up to you, i guess, i wouldnt cause there's a lot more thought into designing characters rather than just choosing which one looks interesting
You use it as a reference
Just the general idea of what the character should look or feel like
It's basically the vague image of what you want but with mor information to work with
i just dont see it as any different from just using google search
You can get more specific with this, looking through reference through Pinterest is also good but usually you're gonna have a hard time looking for good references
If you want to work with an AI totally free, I recommend stable diffusion
Imo this is one of the functions of AI in art should be treated as
As a tool to help you with your art and not replace it
I use stable diffusion to generate this kind of images:
There are only 2 requirements: Train specifically for what you want have a good grapher
i guess yeah, can get specific, but the question that has to be asked is, does it even answer the brief/specs. part of designing also is problem solving, looking at a ready made stuff alr counts as looking at the answers other people come up with (im not saying you shouldnt look at them when doing concept design)
just has to be aware about it
The ai image should be treated as another reference image and not replace any other reference itself
You can still look at images from interests or Google for images but againts, often its hard to get what you want, basically with AI you can be more specific
You can take elements from the ai generated image and use that on your character
Like this, I like the way her mask fells but I'm not gonna exactly copy what it looks like
You can be guided by an image already created or be direct and separate the ideas you have for the character by commas.
I uploaded the female version because I think it's fun
.
did you even ask permission from those people who posted if it's ok to feed it to ai program
Altho this grey serpent generated image looks like it has a pretty decent design already cuz tis based on something with a pretty good design already
if you feel it's useful as ref sure, i just think that since most of the stuff it generates comes from existing artist alr, i dont see why you cant get the same result with just google search
if any, it's probably the lack of visual library that's making it hard to look for that specific reference / feel
It is not necessary, it is fun and it gives ideas on how to improve your drawings in many aspects, simplifying that anyone realizes that it is improved by ina ai, they simply thank you for the new ideas.
Ai is just for convenience its not any different but it's easier to get specific reference
Ye
i personally believe that the person who can answer if need permission or not is those who posted the art themselves in this channel. you dont go around saying it's not necessary just because it is fun
and you dont lose anything by asking permission from them
Calm down kid, you're the only one who fights and wants to cause problems for images converted to pixel art.
i'm calm. im just saying
#art-discussion-and-wip message The last thing I am going to answer you is with this very thing to your hypocrisy:
i give up, no point talking with you, even just ask simple permission cant even do
No one is against it, you are the only one who causes problems in this channel. 
If I may, permission is actually really important when it comes to AI art
Infact it's a big problem thay it affected an artist in social media to basically delete their whole gallery from the internet cuz it was used to feed ai programs which severely affected their sort of like businessflow
I would like to hear from that person, but now they are only based on models.
What's more, I was even working lately on a lol character called kindred, it's a very cute sheep. And I redo her to the best of my ability and she's based on my favorite character.
What's more we can create our own models with bones, I hope you understand the word bones. And I'm not talking about human bones, in terms of programming it's another matter
Personally would ask the artist of the art you're feeding the ai with specially the artists that has a big influence already cuz it can affect them in one way or another
Nothing wrong with using images from the internet but if its made by someone, permission should be asked
Unless you feed the ai another ai generated images
My ai does not feed on these images. She just converts by stuff I wrote for her in code and she learns from code.
You should learn a bit more about the ai, about the type of bones in the modeling. On the code of these same intelligences.
I’d like to argue against you using my art for AI without my permission 😚💕🫶
I'm glad I just converted it to pixel art for you. 
Grow a pair and use your own “talent” for your “cool pixel art” 
We don’t want your stupid sh t filling this channel with crap 
I don't think I'm going on, they were some images in my spare time 
sometimes really have to be like this when asking politely doesnt work
You could instead use your spare time to start a new hobby or learn new skills!! My art isn’t yours to use 😘
I agree!! Some people unfortunately are idiots and can’t recognize when they should apologize and own up to their mistakes 🫶
It would sound hypocritical if I repeated it again. But I don't steal your art or use it, and if you think I care about your image, be happy that no one else sees the things you do the same way.
What's more, I could cite to the text many things that others do and secretly keep and without knowing they are modified and are called fan art. Or something improved without consent but that without a doubt when calling it by
An ai that pixelates the colors and sounds more pathetic than saying it when no one else paid attention to your drawing and I lovingly showed you a cute version in my opinion. I don't think even art is subject
So sit back while you watch a pixel art of your art disappear. 
You fed my art through ai then reposted it in this channel as if you had done gods work!! 🫶 and clearly you don’t see how that’s wrong as you continue to talk about how amazing you are and how you where actually complimenting me! 😙
I didn’t know identity theft was a compliment 💕
I don’t post my art here for compliments or for people to tell me I’m better than someone else. I want to spread my art as inspiration like the artists I have seen across social media 🫶🫶 even if my art is “bad” in the eyes of someone else, I want them to use it as motivation to post/spread their own art that they might not have confidence in 🥰🫶
you're doing good work, i dont normally chat here, usually just check from time to time, but seeing people improve over time also gives me motivation to do the same

Thank you!! I don’t think I’ve seen your art here but you were definitely the reason I started talking about the ai thing 
yeah, i dont really post here, just provide feedback from time to time if someone ask. but i just brought up the permission/consent thing cause it's always better to err in side of caution if the other person dont like it
esp with ai art as a highly controversial topic
even if not ai art, when you paint over or try to copy exact composition subject matter, still need to ask permission
unless it's personal where you dont share
Totally agree!!
And unless the 🪷🪷 guy has something else to say about being the anti anti christ gifted to us by angels I hope they have learned and agree too!! 🫶🫶💕💕
To 🪷🪷, I know you’re probably reading these, and just in case are, I accept your apology and I also thank you for removing the ai pixeled version of my art 🫶
Anyways I drew a picture of my friends cat and I don’t think it turned out half bad
Como chillas jajsjas, le daba escozor en ese qlo. Ta bien pinche qlo feo por algo te lo mejoro tío jajjs
For me my pixel art is cute on a drawing that the original author considers cute. I don't consider it cute, so it's polished with intelligence that makes it pixel
😂
Chi wode jiba 🫶🫶
Dedicate me another bible that I will never read. I barely read the first two lines and saw how angry you got hahaha
Jajsjas
I can also make cats in pixel art. I even think that without needing intelligence using my tablet I can make one with more sterile and fluffy graphics.
I'm not saying that you draw badly, it's just crap that only you care about and if someone else is interested in your art, someone else should improve it.
If you yourself do not improve as a painter or artist, nobody else is going to do it for you.

Cry
Two years
Tippyng
Believe me I'm going to make a code for that too. And I will leave writing or running the writing function in mention of your beautiful art.
wether people take interest in what I do or not, I don’t care 😙 I do, however, care when you distort my image and repost it 🥰
It's interesting, you should know it very well... when someone claims not to care about a topic... and writes it to the public so that everyone can see it but he doesn't comply
Nide mao ye hui chi wode jiba <3
He's still here, he doesn't do what he says. And he's even more stupidly funny and hypocritical
You understand?
A tenia q ser veneko el awebado
I care about ai art, not what people think of me 💕
Nobody is going to help you in your art, I don't think so. After they redo your drawings and it's kind of honey when you take offense and talk and talk so much that it equals 0

You aren’t doing anybody a favor by distorting images and feeding it through pixel ai, just so we’re clear on that?
The distortion of an image in my opinion is art, whether you like it or not and I don't care about your stupid pinion. Just as you yourself assured me a few years ago
;3
You have not been sent to earth by an angel no matter how many times you appoint yourself as equal to a god 🫶
We are not talking about years but about minutes, but since you talk so much shit it seems like years
Your definition of art is shit 💕 I think it might reflect how you see yourself- you think you don’t have enough talent to create something original so you instead feed off of others
Creativity and originality can be learned, you might need to take a class on it 😘
My own work of art, I'm not even an artist. I am a programmer, however I like what I do so that others like you say that they do not care when you still see them glued to the topic of conversation
Even after assuring that they are not interested. And it's pure hypocrisy
Can I ask what about it is hypocrisy?
In a few words you say that my art is shit.
there is your hypocrisy
you stab yourself child
lmfao
I know I could do more, maybe do less. Or program something new and do better things than yours even without drawing knowledge and only distorting the pixels so that people like you
cry more and more
I admit to being hypocritical but I stand by my opinions- what you have shown in this channel has so far been shit and you have proven yourself an asshole. I don’t care what you think about me or my art, although I do care when you put my art into ai and repost it then act as if you’ve done everyone here a favor.
Nobody cares about your opinion, I barely read the first line and I don't follow anymore because I know the same bibles that you write only because they distort the pixels of your horrendous drawings, child
Nothing you have said has been close to persuading me I’m wrong and you’re only further proving my point 💕
<@&421210366132092929> someone who takes people's art in this channel without consent and feeds it into an ai then posts it saying they improved upon it shouldn't have access to this channel
I do not pretend to be the future of the topic that you believe, it is only the truth. And if you pay attention to saying that, it's because you don't know what else to say
Yes, this:
Que bueno que leí este post

Me when I dont understand what people are saying
you shouldn't be using people's art without permission, its unethical
I feel like you keep elongating every time you post it? Is that on purpose because it’s not helping you at all?
I can not lie rn I’m not entirely sure what this means? I’m guessing English isn’t your first language?
Ok so
I'm just gonna take that as a troll, do report anyone using artwork without permission that's pretty serious
thank you mod ❤️
Would absolutely kiss you right now if I could 🫶 (that was a joke(unless it wasn’t))
I didnt know could ping mod...shud have done earlier
You can ping mod, especially if serious like the last one but #contact-mod is the preferred method


beautiful
I’ve probably said this before but you draw curls like perfectly
They're not too hard to draw if you got references but they are irritating
Especially when you have to draw a full head of hair cough cough mobius cough cough
Nah that's actually easier
Sirin's curls are harder to draw than mobisus' hair
Then we have braids
Like fuck them overall
I will admit I have never drawn sirin but I will not admit to wanting to eat your art
Braids are a royal pain
And my favorite character is Kallen 😩
Eat this
Oh god
I take that back
On the topic of cursed imagery here’s something I did for art fight a while back
The event tools were very limited
Not to mention the thinest brush they had was still fat af
Throw pressure sensitivity away
Agh

WTH oh nah nah, do NOT use my art for your AI nonsense
I spend years of time and skill creating art and I do not share it on here for ppl like you to take it and feed it into an AI and change it for some stupid incentive
I would find it cool if you did it YOURSELF and with MY PERMISSION but you’ve done neither of those things and you’ve taken my art and changed it without my knowledge
And from what I’ve seen you’re doing it to plenty of others
Seele wip
bruh AI art users are just posers
angy
Man
Her hair a bit too pink, that's probably my laptop's graphics card
Or the screen is just wack
Bit top pink compared to this
thats a it better
I should probably just take colors from the reference
Yeah thats better

Finally got somewhat decent back references, had to turn to the animated short
Finally I just need to add color
New wip
So, I'm trying to make a layered outfit reference for newton.
I'm trying to decide what the fushia area is on the original. I can't tell if it's the inside of the corset thing, or if it's like, she has her skirt's waste so high that the split hangs over the top of the corset/vest.
Anyone have any professional opinions?
not at all professional, but it looks to me like the inner lining of the corset
the pattern is different from the skirt
I know, but it's the inside of the material
So it could be either one.
I found the references for that particular part inconsistent.
The easy answer is it's the skirt, and NOT a two toned vest
But, if it's more of a vest than a corset, being two toned is like, every vest
looks to me like its part of corset
This is my reference sheet, they don't all give the same impression
Especially Newton T and the Chibi
I understand it's slight variations, but I can't decide.
I guess I could always just do both though...
still looks same to me
I asked somewhere else and they said it looks like just a piece of material added on for the accent.
😩
Anyways, as far as I'm concerned it's just going to be all three at the same time. I guess I shall proceed with that assumption after some sleep.
Looks like inside of the corset/other side tbh,
Not my best line work but I’ve been stuck on this for a while so I’m moving on
you should also draw a garfield herrcher of truth with garfield project bunny as well
GARFIELD TRIO
My last braincell beging for mercy

Hey the design is cool
thank you
Omfg yes I’m adding that to my list
💪

Satisfied with the bg now, finally I can colour the character! Then I'm done.
omg that looks so scrumptious
Okay I think it’s finished now, I’m tempted to nitpick at it more but I usually ruin my drawings like that so
You can tell I’m not good at drawing necklaces or headbands💀

What’s your favorite Rita scene? Could be from an event or the story idc I just need a screenshot
Gorgeous
thanks!!
THAT LOOKS AWESOME

THANK YOU
Anytime 
Amazing job boss

WHY IS MY ART SO HORRIBLE RECENTLY MEI LOOKS GOOFY NOW
the dorm chibi starts to grow up
This looks horrible and I have like 12 hours left to finish this + I consider this quite a big piece
My normal illustrations usually take like 15 hours
at this point I'm half dead

Anatomy and perspective
this is my first time drawing multiple characters so any critiques would be very much appreciated bc this is also for an assignment and I need them grades
wtf you can draw anime for grades
I mean its for a talent show thing and they allowed digital art
lmao the last time i took an art class was back in hs and the teacher kinda hated any cartoony or anime art style
traditional art purist

I'll have to see what my teacher thinks of anime art tbh
I have no idea if she hates it or not
If she does then that goodbye to my grades
art teachers are a different breed tbh they're always a mixed bag so i hope yours is aight with it
mine was uhh a kinda refined middle aged white lady who looks like she runs a pintrest account and gardens
most teachers don't hate anime or cartoon art but they are there to teach you the fundamentals so they will never accept anything that isn't realism. If you take art classes for animation, stylization, concept art, etc they love all styles.
that's the optimistic view
no, thats just how it is. Of course some teachers like certain styles above others as everyone is entitled to their opinion. If you're in a class thats not for exploration but for fundamentals like colour theory, anatomy, and such they don't want you to stylize because thats not learning
then i should probably add more context lol
cartoony was for a freestyle sketchbook assignment
and it's a hs art class so they never really teach fundementals
just let you do whatever
so in my case im slightly more inclined to think the teacher harbored some dislike rather than it being a criticism valid to the teaching
im sure you'd be 100% correct if it was a serious art class tho
as an art university student I've had classes with no requirement besides drawing but my teachers would encourage me to exit my comfort zone of realism/semi realism, it could be what your teacher is looking for. I also do sympathize with teachers in which you always get kids who only draw anime and nothing else and they aren't willing to exit their comfort zone. If you have a teacher willing to teach exiting your comfort zone is a great way to broaden your art perspective and push your art in new directions under guidance that you normally wouldn't have
i think the girls hand on the right looks really unnatural, her the thigh in the back looks too short and the legs seem to be in an awkward position ^^
Personally for me, stylizing properly actually shows a good grasp of fundamentals.
Hard to actually consciously distort/omit stuff and have it still look good. Key is whether you are doing it intentionally and not just by chance
Composition
Rule of 3rds
If really pressed for time, you can re areange them and have them more compact/zoomed in so you dont have to fill up a lot of the background
how
Could use some feedback as to how it looks so far
Hard to tell
Run a tic-tac-toe grid through your picture. Focal points (i.e. your characters) need to fall either on the lines or on the points.
The lines are for background compositions
the what
Basically proportion guides for landscapes
The intersections aka cross points are where the focal points should go
now what
Here are examples
The subjects or the focal point of these images
On the first one it's the guy
On the second one it's the sun
idk what the focal points of my image are
ik the can is one of them
but the others idk
I'd say:
- Bring that girl in the distance closer, let her take up the left line.
- Add an additional figure or move the girl on the right closer to the center to fill up the right line.
Focal points are the subject(s) of your piece
Basically the thing you want the audience to focus on
Typically it's characters in most cases
It also looks like the focus is on the girl in the middle
tbh I overlooked the can first time around
Might want to move it to the right, along the right line, to avoid making a tangential focus with the girl in the distance
You could also put a tree along the right line
Then make it planted by a bench that runs along the bottom line
It's not supposed to be tho so im probably doing something wrong
Don't put her in the center then
where do i put her tho
That or use leading lines to lead your focus where you want the viewer to look
Putting here on the center is fine, but adjust the other character's positions
You can put her off to the side, along the left line
If you don't want her to be the focus
oh makes sense
I think it would help if you actually explained what is happening in the scene
Honestly the hand's out of place
Without any knowledge of why it's there, it feels more like an extra thing and honestly something that won't work without some significant changes to the scene
We all love Elysia. Are you looking for feedback/
?
its supposed to be the hand of the person thats taking the pic
idk its just them sitting around and a person is taking a pic of them while holding the can
?
Feels weird to have a can there
Unless the narrative is you handing one of them a can
ill just change one of the characters poses then
so it kinda fits
honestly it looked better at first with only the main girl on the right
but I changed it since from what I've learned more crowded = higher grades for some reason
also i forgot but ty to everyone that gave advice

this is some weird grading system

what if someone jsut drew a meme and everyone wanted to look at handsome squidward 😔
update I removed everything instead
you can still place the girl sitting on the center though, just need to reposition and such

In art less = more
Overcrowding your piece would have a lot of conflict on where the focal point should be
Basically too many subjects and they end up fighting over attention
I dont mean just crowded people
This applies to anything mainly details
Hands SOS
Ofc sometimes crowding works
Genshin has a lot of their Update CG's as groups consisting of the relevant characters of that patch.
Notice however that the arrangement leads nicely towards the focal point which is Traveler confronting Furina
alright
- Lyney, Lynnette, Freminet and Navia are smaller and distant, creating a counterbalance to the up-and-front singular figure of Furina
- Freminet, Navia have a natural color scheme that blend into the background, while Neuvilette is affected by reflected light and atmospheric fading in order to make him recede into the background
- The faces of Lynette, Lyney, Paimon, Aether and Furina create a line that guides the viewer across the background
This only really have 1 focal point
The rest are just extras
It emphasizes more on Furina and Aether's face off rather than highlighting every characters
Even Hydro Zhongli is dimmed at the background
Also notice how there's a Yellow Glow/Fog that overlays the Fontaine characters
It seperates the subject, Furina and Traveler from the rest
The focal point is Furina and Aether face off, basically the space between them
Notice how it's near the 3x3 grid intersections
Focal points doesn't have to be directly on the intersections, just has to he near it
It's not a perfect composition but it's nice
Another one
1/3 of the piece is occupied by supporting characters
Another part occupied by mostly the traveler
Last part occupied by Furina
If I were to change something here, I'd move Furina and the traveler a bit to the left so that Furina's head would be included in 1/3 of the piece, same applies to the traveler
But also this would allow the focal point to be a but closer to the 3x3 intersection
Again, it's not a perfect composition but it's good enough
The best use for the lines in the rule of 3rd grid is landscape composition
Like this that I showed earlier
1/3 of this is the ground/landmass and 2/3 of it is the sky
Could also go the other way
And even sideways if you got an ocean
Like this
1/3 of this image is land, even tho it overlaps, it's fine cuz barely any land goes over the line
2/3 of this is the ocean
You might be thinking "Thats not 2/3", remove the land and it will be 2/3 ocean and 1/3 Sky
Same logic with removing the sky and it'll be 2/3 ocean 1/3 land
Same applies to the sky
The lines can be used for Dividing the elements in the Image/drawing
The intersections/crosses/points where the line touch each other can be used for focal point placement
There's also this, so most people put their focal point on the top left intersection
It holds true to all the images I sent prior to this with the grid on
Like for example, the picture of the ocean, the sky is put near/at the top left
The guy with a red checkered shirt is also put at the top left
Furina and the traveller's face off is near the top left but is more into the middle
I have the biggest love/hate relationship with drawing
I also did this to a piece I never actually finished
for whatever reason I decided to draw 4 characters in one frame despite how I can barely draw one
and my next idea will have fucking around 7
You can draw whatever you want however you want
Composition is optional
Unless you're entering a formal event/contest
I’m already struggling on the second character
because I also decided to draw complex designs without knowing how to actually draw their textures or from different perspectives
why do I do this 
Take baby steps
This is exactly what I said tho
I ended up going w this instead
Its not perfect but its acceptable
I dont have time to change it anyway since I have to start coloring
But still if anyone wants to give advice on the composition I'm open
For future references ig

oh that's much better
lmao for some reason i keep thinking they're in a back of a truck getting kidnapped
i mean
having a good time
Oc doodle
Tysm 
Maybe

THANK YOU DOGGO
Veliona in the background 🔛🔝

Sirin in progress
anatomy practice (asked my ex-teacher if I could use one of his pics as reference)
Hey y’all, I’m trying to draw my blood borne character (in this she’s laying down and this is unshaded and undetailed ofc.) and wanted to come here to ask, what do I need to fix with this? I know the hand is fucked but don’t know how to fix it.
oh and the arms are uncolored and nothing but ignore that
Check the hand position, i dont think thumb would be outside if the hand is facing up
oh idk how I missed that 
thanks

wow thats some long arms there 
torso too 
HOLY SMOKES
IS THAT GARFIELD

Wait do I have a fan base
Time to create a fanclub
Lmao
IT BEGINS
I'm excited for the day when stupid discord screen shots become part of documentaries about people who do something interesting
I only hope I can make them worse with my stupid ostrich centric memes
😭😭
May I… see them?
That’s a good one
I assure you, they are all good ones
Rick Ostley is kind of a high point
each of them communicates something I want made clear
but as an ostrich
Beautiful
I didn't make any of them, people I know on discord made them after I made joke of some kind, all started with
but I'll stop there because I know people will be not appreciate this form of art
I appreciate them 😔
I see you are a man (or woman or other) of culture
Finished this piece now. Time to move on! :3
I forgot about Odie
If Bronya and that project bunny elf thing are Garfield would Seele be Odie
Or would Garfield Seele be dressing up Odie as project bunny
sir, you have gone too far and must be stopped
Dammit man, think of the consequences!
Was humanity truly meant to look so far into the ABYSS!
Gonna detangle this rlly old Sirin wig
