[dusky trail]

the base usually longer than the middle and the tip

[plain bane]

Hands are literally the spawn of Satan.

[dusky trail]

i think you end up shrink it... well just length up the base of them

try to look at the pic i put up there for the length

[plain bane]

Now it just looks like she's broken them

[dusky trail]

should be fine but now you still need to increase the finger size

since they look way smaller than the rest of her fingers now

[shadow nebula]

ah, yeah. I was thinking her but my brain just didn't function

[safe falcon]

I’m gonna try my hardest to my my HoF batter then my HoV but idk if I can since my HoV is probably the best one I’ve done

Better*

[dusky trail]

@plain bane should be fine now

[shadow nebula]

i feel that, my very first digital piece is still my best

[plain bane]

I lost my first

Corrupted file

[dusky trail]

meanwhile i got kicked out of Deviant Art so i lost most of my stuff, hoohoh

then try to move to tumblr but then... well you know what happen to tumblr

at least pixiv will always be there for me~

[shadow nebula]

this was my first, colours are trash but i remember how hard i worked on it and overall it looks better than anything i do now which is really disappointing

[dusky trail]

while mine is just this

back when i still try out what style of color i want to use

[plain bane]

My first was an attempt at hyperrealism on digital

It got to the point where I had so many layers with an already large canvas that is crashed

And wouldn't open ever again

[shadow nebula]

every time i do realism i just do it all on one layer

[plain bane]

I struggle doing that

Even when I draw kn paper I treat it like its layered

[shadow nebula]

back when i did stuff like this i didn't even do a sketch i just blocked everything in on one layer

[grave nymph]

oo

[safe falcon]

Also background isn’t mine

[dusky trail]

it from Nekopara isn't it

[prime kelp]

any advices?

[grave nymph]

I..

can't draw males

yet

so can't really help there sorry <-<;;

oh wow, my first digital drawing's wayyyyy back during 2019 lul

[potent mason]

if you cant help just dont say anything 😛

either bring the palm higher to balance level of finger length or bring down the crevices of the fingers to make them longer

[grave nymph]

But then if I just post another thing or something here it might look that I'm ignoring people

[ocean flower]

Right shoulder is non existent

[potent mason]

doesnt rly help if what you say is still useless for the one needing help

[prime kelp]

hmm, thanks

[potent mason]

its like running to an accident victim and saying i dont have a phone to call 911, sorry then just stares at them dying

[grave nymph]

🏃

[ocean flower]

Also

[prime kelp]

i kinda made it like that on purpose cause of the perspective, but ill see if i can make like theres a shoulder there

[ocean flower]

The collar bone is too high

Or shoulders are too low

[prime kelp]

its probably about the shoulder

thanks

[grave nymph]

collarbones are usually like this, I think, so yeah, might be a shoulder problem or a collarbone placement problem or something

[jolly galleon]

it looks fine to me tho...

[potent mason]

considering shoulder and collarbone arent where they should be, it is

[grave nymph]

also, don't Male character usually have more muscles on the arms or something?

especially a character that murders people or something?

[jolly galleon]

yae collarbone isn't alined with the sholders but idk anotemy isn't my thing

[ocean flower]

Depends on the body of the model

You can be skinny, muscular or fat

[jolly galleon]

Kalpas looks maskular tho

[grave nymph]

yeah

[ocean flower]

[prime kelp]

i didnt really wanted to add that much and its honestly first time of me drawing a male

but ill add some

[ocean flower]

Never watched kalpas without shirt

So I can't say anything

[grave nymph]

I don't think we even have better references for him

[jolly galleon]

once i read Fat i for some reason didn't just imagon a rounf kalpas but a chic phoenix kalpas

[prime kelp]

yeah took me a lot to find out how his hair work

[grave nymph]

we don't even have a 3d model

[jolly galleon]

3D Kalpas when?

[prime kelp]

but theres an official chibi wallpaper of him so i looked at that to find out how his clothes work

[ocean flower]

Kalpas playable when?

[jolly galleon]

Su body pillow when?

[prime kelp]

he does but

kinda fucked up

[jolly galleon]

lol wtf

[potent mason]

it look so gay wtf

[ocean flower]

Bruh

[grave nymph]

we do?

[prime kelp]

ye

[ocean flower]

Why squatting

Lmao

[grave nymph]

Aren't those in the files or something?

[potent mason]

hes prolly doing the good ol take-a-shit squat

[prime kelp]

LMFAO

[grave nymph]

Can't you try to uh, fiddle with the files using a software that can view 3d models?

[ocean flower]

Tell me a reason why they made a squatting position

Lmao

[grave nymph]

yakuza

perhaps

[ocean flower]

They are the same picture

[grave nymph]

[potent mason]

is he gonna do the vodka dance as well?

[safe falcon]

Alright line art is done, I think

I probably missed something

I’ll cross that bridge when I get there

[jolly galleon]

how?????

[safe falcon]

The sketch is nightmare material

I merged all sketch layer since the sketch itself usually has about 15-20 layers

[fiery lantern]

Any feedback?

[jolly galleon]

the rinkel on the uhhh wat r thy called....the fabrik on the arms.....it looks kinda wird

[fiery lantern]

yea

the clothing folds

I rushed that

I’m gonna change it

[jolly galleon]

try looking up references this is a rather comen outfit

[fiery lantern]

thanks

yea

[jolly galleon]

and the hands

[dusky trail]

the arms also rather bendy in that angle

[fiery lantern]

the hands aren’t even effort

yea the bendy arms are a habit 😞

[jolly galleon]

try to not have the right arm completly stiff i mean the one going over the body

[fiery lantern]

I can fix it with lasso

[dusky trail]

well you can fix it by change up the hem of the shirt

it is too center with cause the arms to look weird

like she about to swing her bag into your face

[fiery lantern]

wait

[jolly galleon]

wow and i thot i had a messy work flow lol

[safe falcon]

It’s about 20 layers merged together because I have a layer cap of 72

[jolly galleon]

I mean this is how my sketches look like

UMM

[whole cloak]

Did someone @ me?

[jolly galleon]

ok i think i just realised something the problem is't realy bad anotemy ok maybe it is but the pose looks very stiff as it is

[fiery lantern]

I DONT KNOW WHAT UR SAYING

[fiery lantern]

Yea

I’m very bad at anatomy

I’ve only been drawings for a couple of months

like in this style

IS TAKING 2 SHOts OF THAT GOOD OR BAD

SHOTS***

[whole cloak]

The shoulders are uneven and her back is awkwardly tilted backwards. Since I’m assuming the skirt is short, her waist is also a smidge high and her arms are too short

[fiery lantern]

thanks 😻😻

[whole cloak]

sorry for sounding blunt! the eyes are really well done and I love the hair shape

[fiery lantern]

oh

I’m

like

way under

age

[safe falcon]

Ok

[fiery lantern]

😹😹

WHAT

I DONT KNOW

IS IT HONKAI

I DONT PLAY HONKAI THAT MUCH ANYMORE BUT THIS WA D HTE ONLY ACTIVE SERVER

I have hov and hor

I don’t know

I DONT LNOW

[whole cloak]

The black bg makes half of his body virtually invisible and sort of confusing, is this purposeful?

[safe falcon]

Yes trying to go for a shadow look

Like he’s part of darkness

Do any of youse know what series he’s from?

[whole cloak]

The proportions are good and the one thing is the hair isn’t shaded to the right direction as everything else (light from front)

[whole cloak]

Ah ok that makes sense.
no I don’t recognize him sorry

[fiery lantern]

how did u misspell both 😭

I have no idea

what

Series

ur talking ab

[whole cloak]

Oh that’s really impressive

the art I mean lol

[fiery lantern]

ikr

[safe falcon]

Thanks

By honestly I still think the HoV I did is better

alright imma call it a night, don’t want to go overboard and be Hangover in school

[fiery lantern]

I can fix the hands later

[fiery lantern]

good night 😴

ignore the emoji

I tried to make it less stiff ig?

retried again

why do the arms look so short still

[safe falcon]

Fate series, this is alter Saber male

[fiery lantern]

oh

Fate was too long for me

[potent mason]

make this longer

[jolly galleon]

this is killing me

[whole cloak]

The shoulder closest to us is too close to the neck, the make it less stiff try moving it more to our right

Move the hands and bags down

[jolly galleon]

i tryed to redraw it to se wat i would have done and i think i only made it worst

[safe falcon]

I’ve made another layer with a longer Sword handle so it’s more accurate, it a bit rough but tell me if you think the loner sword handle is better or the shorter one

[dusky trail]

pls color or hide her eyes so she doesn't look like she about to die~~

[safe falcon]

In general the sword is a lot skinnier and not as bulky

[safe falcon]

I will when I get around to it

Might actually redo the sword so it’s deeper in the ground and left hand is in the herrscher cords and her right hand is just at the pommel

[lusty hazel]

any crits

[tacit raven]

original by kenji_893 on twitter

[plain bane]

What sorta shading style should I do for her?

[lament stump]

why are his 2 fingers merged together

[tacit raven]

they are sticking to each other

[dusky trail]

you could just have one arm shielding her face like someone splashing water at her

[dusky trail]

why is her bow on top of the hair?

[plain bane]

Wdym?

Oh

Ah

[dusky trail]

the collar bow one ya

the hair should be on top of it

[plain bane]

I'll fix that and consider not drawing at 1am anymore

[dusky trail]

not under

[plain bane]

[potent mason]

need to lengthen waist and make her face less circle

[dusky trail]

as for shading style, just try thing out and see how it go

[potent mason]

the easiest shade you can do is cell shading

[lusty hazel]

better? idk what you mean by "lengthen waist", can you give an example?

[dusky trail]

well as she is right now, she would have no ribs

just her chest connect to her waist

[hardy yew]

Is it looking good so far?

[dusky trail]

so your draw just look like she missing the part between her boobs and her bulley button there

[lusty hazel]

looks scuffed because i drew everything on the same layer and just had to rely on selection tool

[dusky trail]

@lusty hazel something like this

[lusty hazel]

oke wait

[dusky trail]

s for the arms, how about something like this

[potent mason]

and make the head smaller

[dusky trail]

why you so slow~ =3=

[potent mason]

coz im binging netflix and glancing at my discord is not my top priority rn

[lusty hazel]

was planning to do smth like this

not sure if thats okay or no

[potent mason]

its okay as long we patch the anatomy correctly

[hardy yew]

Can i help too? (If thats ok)

[lusty hazel]

sure

harsh comments are fine

[hardy yew]

Nah im not like that

Im constructive

[dusky trail]

ya the arm would be too long with the old body

feel like it may reach the knee

[lusty hazel]

it looks the same.
extreme art discussion

[shadow nebula]

elbow is in line with belly button and forearm is as long as the upper arm. Keeping that in mind should help with the arm length. If your style is short bodies go for it but if you're trying to anatomically correct either make the head much smaller and lengthen the torso slightly or lengthen the torso by quite a bit

to make arm length a little easier because i forgot to add this, the wrist is in line with the groin

[potent mason]

and the elbow is in line with the ribs

[dusky trail]

the right arm as it is now the hand would dig right in her hip

[lusty hazel]

do i make the right hand float on her skirt then

[dusky trail]

you just have to raise the arm higher

that will increase the distance to the hip

[whole cloak]

Her dress goes out pretty high but that’s not where her waist is in the screenshot

[hardy yew]

Idk i felt like she had too much thigh and it didnt match up with her head to hand

Wait

[lusty hazel]

what is anatomy

[dusky trail]

you gonna need to shrink her head

[potent mason]

yes

[lusty hazel]

again 🪦

let me fix her neck real quick

[shadow nebula]

head size for anime art is preference

so if you like it big keep it big

[whole cloak]

Give her ribs

[dusky trail]

ya but if he going for normal body size then it would be really odd...

[shadow nebula]

just remember to make the anatomy of the face proper as well as the body itself

[potent mason]

yup very odd

[whole cloak]

Try to not draw in the bust and just make a torso without bust and add the bust later to get the perspective right

[shadow nebula]

not really, a lot of artists draw head much larger and it looks great

[lusty hazel]

was trying to make her dress realllyyy wavy + puffy if that gives you an idea

[whole cloak]

The puffy dress does not make her waist higher?

The dress is separate from her body

The dress can go out high but the hips don’t need to be moved

Idk if this makes sense sorry

[hardy yew]

Inthink this is slightly better, perphaps actually lengthen her waist and correct her head

[dusky trail]

there still need a decent distance for her rib

though her leg shouldn't be merge to her hip like that too

[shadow nebula]

hos, what are you going for? Do you want the drawing to be heavily stylized or realistic?

[lusty hazel]

heavily stylized

idk wtf i'm supposed to do with her head

i shrinked it like 4 times already

[shadow nebula]

if you like it big keep it big. Since its stylized then its your style and preference

[whole cloak]

I was thinking this

the head size the way it is is good

[lusty hazel]

thanks for the reference

i feel theres something off about her legs but i cant put my finger on it

[whole cloak]

If you want more expression then like this sort of
Red is the puffy dress

[shadow nebula]

the legs are slightly off because the biggest curve of the hip is where the femur connects to the pelvis

[whole cloak]

I think it’s just her thigh on our right bulging too much

[hardy yew]

Ok pepehands

Idk

I need to correct chest part

But i dont have a clear idea

so

Im confused

[lusty hazel]

rushed

ok ill continue my amazing journey of art tmr

tired

[plain bane]

Would it look better with her hair behind her?

Or should I leave it as is?

[dusky trail]

i don't think it would be much different so it is your choice

[plain bane]

So i should leave it?

[twin knot]

Leave it as it is, it looks better that way.

[dusky trail]

just go for it, if it off, you can always erase it after

[plain bane]

Alright! Thankyou

[dusky trail]

the wonderful thing about digital is you can just throw it in different layer

if it look bad to you, you can just erase it

[plain bane]

Yeah

When I draw traditionally i feel weird now

I have to pay attention alot

[frank sundial]

This look good so far

It more challenging when only working with single layer

[dusky trail]

meanwhile https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpaHcpuXPU0

this is the thing always amaze me about painting style

you just watch him transform a blob into that

ah~ if only they bring back Black Rock Shooter and give it a game like Honkai

[frank sundial]

Yeah i never say it impossible, but it is a challenge

Because I used to draw traditional before

[plain bane]

How does this shading style look?

I haven't done the shading that's supposed to be at the centre of the character yet

[dusky trail]

hard to say with only the hair

[plain bane]

I'm considering something more basic

[lament stump]

so adding base colors took me 2h

i wonder how much will the shading take then

[dusky trail]

how did you color it to even make it took 2 hours lol

[lament stump]

well

[prime kelp]

it took you that long?

[lament stump]

i tried using multiply

on my line art layer

i mean i didn't try i used it

and FOR SOME REASON

my lines took some ew colors and sometimes the line art took a hair color instead of skind color

it was all just one big mess...

[dusky trail]

did you separated the hair and skin layer from the start then?

or just simple make new layer, clip it to lineart layer

then you can do whatever you want without it damage the base lineart

[lament stump]

yea

[lament stump]

her right side of the chin took a dark color cuz of the hair

and i didn't want that

it looked wierd

so i hade to be super fucking cerful about not going over the line

[lament stump]

i could've dione this but well... i didn't

[dusky trail]

wait... how did you color then?

why not just use magic tool and dump bucket on it

the just filled what is missing

[lament stump]

idk man.. i did use bucket but lines had a weird color

but now i know

to never ever use multiply on my line art layer

[dusky trail]

can you show me the layer set up then

it is hard to imagine how you color

[lament stump]

okay

i have hair and thigs color layer cuz for some reason thigs didn't want to be colored on the skin layer

[supple sorrel]

magic wand/bucket usually leaves a small pocket of white stuff under the color and lineart

[lament stump]

of white stuff

got it

[supple sorrel]

yeah it leaves that part transparent

[dusky trail]

then you probably should adjust the detective mode

[supple sorrel]

cause it cant select inside the lineart to make it look ok

[dusky trail]

it also easier if you put a dark color in the background to make it easier to see

[lament stump]

yea it was so hard to see the skin color now that i think about it

[supple sorrel]

or dont and set your program to light mode too 😠

[dusky trail]

also, using huge canvas make it quite easy for bucket to fill properly too ufufufuf

[lament stump]

and I imagine that white stuff would be seen easier with a darker bc

[supple sorrel]

yeah but you can also fill the gaps easier

[dusky trail]

i usually just do this, it just right amount of dark to not mess up my eyes

[supple sorrel]

you do the lineart on that bg too?

[lament stump]

you did 2 poses in the same drawing damn you are so not lazy

[dusky trail]

of course not

[supple sorrel]

also damn these muscles seccs

[dusky trail]

i like rib~

[supple sorrel]

nono I get it 😔

[dusky trail]

i usually just use black for lineart then put layer on top of it if i want to change color

[supple sorrel]

ic

I do that too, lately I've made played around with making the lineart layer multiply too

[dusky trail]

like so

[supple sorrel]

oo sai

that brings back some memories

[dusky trail]

i have Clip too but the pen just doesn't feel the same

so i mostly use Clip for backgroudn stuff

[supple sorrel]

yeah sai stabilizer is smth else

it's almost hard to move to other programs after drawing in it

[dusky trail]

ya

[supple sorrel]

but I can't get used to it again cause it doesnt have scrubby zoom

[frank sundial]

Your oc is so cute

I really like the simple design on her

[dusky trail]

turn from this to that

[safe falcon]

Alright I’ve Redone the sword so it’s a lot bigger

[lament stump]

Even besides all those details i can't help but to notice that the chin or the face looks a little misplaced

Idk if it's just me who sees it tho

[safe falcon]

I shouldn’t leave my phone unlocked in school with discord open

[hardy yew]

what should be fixed? also where should i put the shadows on the right side of the clothes

[whole cloak]

The face seems uneven and the chin is asymmetrical, is the head on an angle?
Also it looks like you squashed the right side of her head (her right, our left) so maybe move the gold thingy a bit closer to the corner
Otherwise it looks good! The shadows are in the right place on the clothes, maybe make the shadow a bit bigger

[hardy yew]

its supposed to be at an angle, though i have no clue what im doing wrong

oh shit i just realized i shouldve probably added a shadow under the head

[whole cloak]

Try adding a centerline maybe? to sort of make it clearer while drawing

[lusty breach]

U guys use a lot of layers
@-@

[whole cloak]

for the life of me this always looks a little off pls help
I haven’t tried this angle in a long time

[hardy yew]

wish i could help you but i suck at angles

[grave nymph]

yup

[dawn pelican]

I’m almost done with the lineart oh my god

[grave nymph]

one animation I made took up like

800 layers or so

perhaps

[dawn pelican]

800?/?/?//?/

[grave nymph]

but it’s definitely in the hundreds

yeah

a 12 frame 1 second animation

having no onion skin is pain you know? :”D

[dawn pelican]

How many seconds was it

[grave nymph]

1

:”D

[dawn pelican]

In total?

[grave nymph]

yeah

it’s a 1 second animation

[dawn pelican]

Woah

[grave nymph]

CSP can only allow up to 2 seconds of animation if you only have PRO

[dawn pelican]

Animation is hard 😭

[grave nymph]

especially if you have no onion skin lul

[dawn pelican]

Rip

[hardy yew]

how to draw/color eyes

[dusky trail]

like so~~?

but eye usually the part where artist can be more "creative" so just try out various thing you want until you settle on one

[hardy yew]

anything i should change? something still looks a little off

eyes supposed to be closed (realized this after i tried to draw an eye for a few minutes )

[dusky trail]

hard to say with just that but if you aim for chibi anyway, you don't have to think too much

just go nut

otherwise, it mainly the chin that bother me

but it only because the line rather clunky

[hardy yew]

yeah the stabilizer wasnt working right

my dumb ass just realizing she has no eyebrows

[hardy yew]

any better?

my hands are dying because the weather is so hot

[dusky trail]

her left cheek still feel like it drag down too much

you could just extend the hair bun...? or what ever it call a bit longer

[hardy yew]

[strong pond]

maybe make the eyes bigger and a little closer hahah

[dusky trail]

chibi style can be use more freely anyway

[strong pond]

yup

its cuteee

[potent mason]

i suggest you make your lines thicker, thick lines goes well with chibi artstyle

[grave nymph]

yeah

makes the lineart more visible or something

if you plan on making it an emote then you have to have thick lines so it’ll be visible when it’s smaller

[dusky trail]

thicc

[obtuse night]

[grim heart]

not yet final lol

[dusky trail]

the crotch part makes it look like "something" is there

it is too lean on one side

[potent mason]

not sure why japan likes drawing them with thigh gap, in reality those look ugly and can be rarely seen in a woman unless theyre very skinny

coz the thighs' fat usually fill up that gap

[dusky trail]

because it is where hope and dream go

[grave nymph]

[potent mason]

either thigh fat fill the gap or the shorts/skirts cover it up

[dusky trail]

and well, art is always there to draw something you don't normally see anyway

https://cdn.donmai.us/original/0d/94/__bronya_zaychik_seele_vollerei_bronya_zaychik_and_seele_vollerei_honkai_and_1_more_drawn_by_niko_tama__0d94a4ecc7a17333d2972c43b4c20685.jpg

like Niko Tama

who always draw nip so hard they always look like it can piece through clothe

https://cdn.donmai.us/sample/09/14/__hoshino_ruri_kidou_senkan_nadesico_drawn_by_niko_tama__sample-0914c934ba98aff12e72c97d97c0474c.jpg

even more fun if you check his old stuff, they all have normal nip but then they keep increasing in size over the year

[fiery lantern]

wait why r the nipples so

🔺

[dusky trail]

the artist probably want to set it as his trademark

[potent mason]

Guess that's one way to slap "hey I draw uniquely " to the viewers

[fiery lantern]

oh

[dusky trail]

and then we have One Piece's author

always draw the female char with extreme thin waist

there also kawakami masaki or Houtengeki that love draw girl with wide hip and thick butt

so ya, while some draw more closer to how real body work, there are plenty draw them in "unique" way because that is what look good for them

[grim heart]

yeah im planning to fix that when i render it, thanks for pointing it out

[dusky trail]

well another fix would be to make the crotch wrinkle on the right left head down instead of up

[grim heart]

oh okay got it, thank you

[dusky trail]

because you draw those part so high up, it created a kind of illusion of something really saggy in there

[grim heart]

oh yeah it does lol no wonder it looks kinda off in that part

[dusky trail]

or at least put it in the center like so

[safe falcon]

I noticed a big mistake but if no one notices then it’s A ok

[grave nymph]

hmmmm

[safe falcon]

See no one notices it so it’s A ok and I’ll fix it when grade 12 isn’t squeezing the life out of me with 6 assessments due this week alone

[grave nymph]

currently editing a guide, I'll try to view it on phone when I'm finish lul

[safe falcon]

You know the way I’ve positioned her and the sword either way I’ll be a awkward, I just tried to fix it and yah Another problem came up when I did

[lusty breach]

:□

[shadow nebula]

I hated high chool so much

[lusty breach]

I'm in 11th grade

Class just started last week for me

[shadow nebula]

at least you guys are almost done with it. It gets better

[robust tapir]

Its been a long time since i draw

[shadow nebula]

that sounds like fun

[robust tapir]

The eyes are too closed too each other?

[safe falcon]

Hahahaha, I don’t need energy drinks to get my heart rate up anymore, school is doing a better job at it

[supple sorrel]

you're saying that meanwhile other ppl I know are saying that after hs is when the real pain begins

[safe falcon]

No

[robust tapir]

The nose are too high?

[safe falcon]

I already tried fixing the mistake but it leads to another mistake similar to the first

[shadow nebula]

True, i remember having to get constant extensions on assignments in hs

[shadow nebula]

its gets better because you have more freedom and can leave class without having the teacher up your ass

honestly kind of bs since you can get extensions on everything in the real world and uni

thats why hs is so stupid

they pretend this is the way the real world works when it doesn

t

yeah its pretty dumb

[safe falcon]

Mind an ATAR is valid for a year, if you don’t get anywhere within that year you just wasted a lot of time

[shadow nebula]

gr 12 I missed half of the school days and had to completely change what i was going to go into which was dance but a car crash in gr 11 fucked my back up so i had to take gr 10 and gr 11 art courses in gr12

thats terrible

one year my hs had a fire over christmas break took over a month for us to go back so we ended really awkwardly

[safe falcon]

Oh btw the mistake was the sword hand guard, if id flipped it id have to redo the arm but because I really don’t want to do that I’ll just say her arm is in the little Gap between the hand guard and handle, it’s a bit awkward but it saves me the trouble of another redesign

[grave nymph]

Ah

[safe falcon]

This is me duplicating it onto another file trying to find a solution

[grave nymph]

o

[minor grove]

fumo

[safe falcon]

The only way I see on solving the mistake and that’s making the sword thinner and just in general a bit smaller

[grave nymph]

but then you'd be fiddling around the sword's size and it won't be the same like the original

[safe falcon]

Actually I think I may have found a way I’ll try it later on and see if it works

[grave nymph]

can't wait to see your solution then

[plain sorrel]

seele modeling progress

[grave nymph]

ooooh

That's looking quite good so far

[plain sorrel]

hair is always the most difficult and time consuming but at least my drawing works fine I guess..

[plain sorrel]

thank u~

[obtuse night]

Fremy!

Rokka no Yuusha was great

I remember whatching all of it staight after seeing the first episode

[hallow marsh]

My current WIP for the contest, wanted to show a possible future where Kiana also became a teacher after the main story

Might make the room messier since I imagine Kiana wouldn't be able to keep it clean 🤣

[jaunty python]

just kevin things

[safe falcon]

Alright I’m done, solution is done it’s a bit rough but I’ll fix that later

[grave nymph]

oooo

[safe falcon]

It’s less detailed but at least it makes sense with the sword design

[grave nymph]

yeah, it does

[plain bane]

Which should I go with?

[dusky trail]

at least move the "no steal" out of her face first

it is hard to compare when one of them have something block off

[plain bane]

Yeah gimme a sec

[dusky trail]

but i would say, go with half half

[shadow nebula]

first one fits more with the way you coloured the background but darkening and giving the hair a rim light would make it fit the lighting

[dusky trail]

if the sunset is behind her then ya, as Saiph said, it would be like the first one

but that would also cause a more similar dark hair on her left side

as her head and arm would block off the light

[dusky trail]

thoughg the second one is a bit too dark

[plain bane]

Wait why is the no steal still there

I moved it

[dusky trail]

because even your draw doesn't want you to steal it

it is gaining sentience, time to delete it

[plain bane]

It might be breaking

Also, does the crown look better like that?

[dusky trail]

crown? where?

also, what is with that honkai ads there

[plain bane]

The Crown of her hair

I'm still getting honkai ads from the haxxor bunny event

[dusky trail]

oh you mean bald spot

fine enough

anyway, just shade the rest of her too then ask us again

it is easier to see the whole thing than just one spot

[safe falcon]

I love seeing honkai impact ads, those practically ever show up for me

[plain bane]

I either get honkai ads or ads trying to sell me houses

[dusky trail]

then time to buy a house in honkai ver

[minor grove]

it's a shame it won't be finished

[supple sorrel]

cool concept

[obtuse night]

The manga is not finished either?

[minor grove]

as far as i know the next LN wasn't released (even after 10th anniversary)

十二獣Zodiac (@zodiac_ws)

I've been painting Rika a few days ago and I want to share her new design. it's just a small teaser of it.
I'm really looking forward to chapter 22(+) when she will finally reappear in the manga!! I miss her so much <3

[lament stump]

guys why do my lines almost look like they are made out of pixels when i zoom in a little bit, ppl on yt have nice and smooth lines\

[grave nymph]

probably canvas size

[grave patrol]

Are you using paint tool sai?

Cause its Normal there

[grave patrol]

I thought it was resolution

[strong pond]

you need a bigger canvas size lol

bigger canvas = higher qualityy

[grave nymph]

mm

I usually have mine at 300dpi A4

[hallow marsh]

Usually canvas size

I use A4 for anything important

I then go 350+ dpi for anything merch wise

[strong pond]

what do you use?

[hallow marsh]

Clip Studio paint

[shadow nebula]

the smaller your canvas the less you can zoom in without quality loss

[strong pond]

ohh

[lament stump]

oh thanks

[dusky trail]

3k x 3k or 4k x 4k pretty much my base canvas size

[lament stump]

i have a rly small tablet so big canvas are hard to draw on

[strong pond]

thats a lot wow

[dusky trail]

small table is not really matter

you only have to increase your pen size

i usually use size 8-9

[shadow nebula]

if you use ipad than they have a limit

its why i stopped using mine

[strong pond]

the size is technically the same as smaller sizes just has higher res

[shadow nebula]

I can't go to 10k by 10k like i do on pc

[lament stump]

but like if i draw on a big canvas and yous moste of it I'll have some very big lines that are very hard to draw just from your wrist

[hallow marsh]

Damn never had to go that big before

[dusky trail]

you can just zoom out you know

it is the nice thing about digital

[strong pond]

on ibispaint your ipad dies after going over 100 at 2000x2000

[lament stump]

then it becomes hard to cennect the lines

[shadow nebula]

its something you will get the hang of as you practice

[lament stump]

idk mabye it's a me problem

[dusky trail]

what pen size you usually use then

[lament stump]

I'll start using bigger ones soon as possible

[lament stump]

i rly don't know cuz I switch em a lot

[hallow marsh]

Might be good to learn to draw without zooming in for a bit on a larger canvas

[dusky trail]

=3=

also you don't have to zoom that far out

[strong pond]

its p hard to do that

[shadow nebula]

you don't have to use big ones. My sketch pen for my 10k by 10k canvas is only size 17

[hallow marsh]

Not saying never zoom in when drawing, just a little bit of practice on it lmao

[lament stump]

i did 7 for body and 4 for the face

[dusky trail]

17 is pretty big too =3=

[strong pond]

oooh thats so cute

[shadow nebula]

its very small for this canvas size

[lament stump]

it was a g pen so it had pen pressure

[dusky trail]

and that is why i say to put some dark background

because my eyes i burning staring at that right now

[lament stump]

1 second

[strong pond]

lmaoo

[lament stump]

well UMMMMM

[hallow marsh]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that draws on a gray surface XD

[dusky trail]

lol

[lament stump]

IT SEEMS LIKE I BUCKETED

on some layer

[dusky trail]

you can just make a new layer, set it in the bottom and throw the bucket at it

[strong pond]

I SWEAR THE FACE LOOKS GREAT

[lament stump]

WELL NOW SHE HAS NO HAIR

[lament stump]

ohh

[strong pond]

try gray-ish purple

[dusky trail]

you can use something different than the color you use lol

[strong pond]

and airbrush the bottom sides with black

[dusky trail]

purple, dark red or pink

also, what is going on with her cheek over there

[lament stump]

well fuck this

[grave nymph]

One of Us

Grayish backgrounds are /;w;/

[dusky trail]

a bit too bright, it not gonna feel good if you look at it when you draw

it will mess your eyes up

[strong pond]

too vibrant id say haha

[lament stump]

i bucketed color white on hair layer

now i turned it bac to pink

but um

now the lines are fucked cuz of multiply layer on my line art

[raw ridge]

CTRL+Z

[dusky trail]

ya just ctrl z it

[lament stump]

oh no way that exists?

[dusky trail]

the wonder of digital art

use it

[lament stump]

I CAN'TTTT

[raw ridge]

Megapensive

[lament stump]

i buceted it white a long time ago

i can only erase it now

[hallow marsh]

Okay what you can do is, select all the pink and delete it.

Then you can colour layer 8 to a different colour which will give the hair it's freedom

[raw ridge]

Pain

[dusky trail]

redraw time

[shadow nebula]

a good neutral background for colours is a mid tone grey

[lament stump]

nooooooooooo

[grave nymph]

eh

you didn't know about Crtl Z???

That's a digital artist's savior

[dusky trail]

i think he only just notice he bucket the wrong later today

[strong pond]

are you telling me that you have never CTRL+Z ed anything?

[dusky trail]

and he did that sometime ago

[strong pond]

HOLY

[grave nymph]

Ikr?

[dusky trail]

now it is easier to see all the odd spot there

[lament stump]

GUYS CHILL

I use ctrl z

ofc I do

[hallow marsh]

Okay nice job, you'll be able to fill in the spots that have been left out on the hair 👍

[strong pond]

thank god

[lament stump]

after every line I use ctrl z

[strong pond]

you do have pretty nice liness

[lament stump]

thanks

I would say I'm good or something but that drawing took me like 20h total and it's not even done

I just redo untill I'm setisfied

just like my discord status says :)

[strong pond]

thats a lot of determination omg

[dusky trail]

meanwhile i just stuck on what size of boobs i want my OC to have

[lament stump]

and also shikniful helped me soooo much with this drawing

[strong pond]

LMAOOO

[dusky trail]

[dusky trail]

[strong pond]

[lament stump]

too real for my taste

[lament stump]

this on the other hand doesn't look that real and is somehow so good

[strong pond]

ALSO LOOK AT THIS ONE

[lament stump]

that one looks like it hase some kind of texture on it, loooks very nice

[strong pond]

yess

[hallow marsh]

I love the lighting so much on that

[strong pond]

the composition , and the rendering is just amazing

[lament stump]

before I started art i never noticed the bg that much and now I appriciate it cuz i know how hard that bg must have been

thoes clouds look so good damn good

[dusky trail]

Piromizu also did a lot of amazing one

[strong pond]

thats really niceee

[lament stump]

how do they make it looks so real like, it's almost as it's a figure sitting at my desk, thoes colors are something else

especially that eye color

[grave nymph]

Yup

[strong pond]

OK THIS what do yall think of this

[grave nymph]

They're also one of the top artists I admire

[dusky trail]

and then there is Kantoku

[strong pond]

YESS

[hallow marsh]

One thing I always want to improve on is lighting and backgrounds atm

[strong pond]

backgrounds are pretty hard

[grave nymph]

yep

[dusky trail]

just be cheap and draw background like this

[hallow marsh]

Backgrounds can be hard but my word are they satisfying

[grave nymph]

[hallow marsh]

I love that
Always looked up to the Azur Lane artists

[dusky trail]

i can't say i like the game but ya Azur Lane has a lot of good art

[grave nymph]

yup

[hallow marsh]

Yeah people use Blender or premade 3D resources for backgrounds which is really helpful

[grave nymph]

they splurge money into their art

[grave nymph]

https://twitter.com/abara/status/1428751079756296197?s=20 Abara-sensei also have a very unique style, be it digital or traditional

?

[dusky trail]

you sure like a lot of shoujo style huh?

[grave nymph]

I like that kind of shading

[strong pond]

i really like the anime style

just

[lament stump]

how do you even fing your own style?

[strong pond]

the shading is pure anime

[grave nymph]

https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/88070709 I also found this earlier

and gosh the colors man

[strong pond]

it just comes out by itself ig

[grave nymph]

yeah

[dusky trail]

shoujo style always have some amazing hair style

[grave nymph]

yup

I wanna draw hair like that

[dusky trail]

the detail always so overkill

[grave nymph]

those shadings too

[strong pond]

NO WAY THATS SO COOL

[grave nymph]

Isn't it?!?!

[lament stump]

oh nice

[grave nymph]

it has like

50k bookmarks lul

I wonder how do they make lineart like that

[grave nymph]

so much to learn

[strong pond]

aA

[dusky trail]

her body looks rather square-ish

[strong pond]

hmmm i see

like stiff?

[grave nymph]

yeah

can't redline since have to go to sleep

her shoulders look weird imo

neck feels quite short, maybe just me

[dusky trail]

like from a glare, she just look like this

[grave nymph]

mm

[strong pond]

ah

[grave nymph]

might be because of shoulders

[strong pond]

oohhh

[lament stump]

guys what's better this

or

this

[grave nymph]

2

[lament stump]

idk if you can see the difference

[strong pond]

2

[hallow marsh]

2

[grave nymph]

slight color difference

[lament stump]

DAMN IT

I LIKED 1

[strong pond]

LMAO

[grave nymph]

[strong pond]

2 just amkes the eyes pop

[lament stump]

let me zoom out maybe you'll like it more

still 2?

[grave nymph]

2 for me

[lament stump]

I meant 2 ye

[hallow marsh]

Sticking with 2

[lament stump]

dang it

okayy

[dusky trail]

well go for 1 if that what you like

[lament stump]

i was like

1 cuz i want to make her in like dark

[strong pond]

oh yea critique pleasee

[lament stump]

so her eyes are less visible cuz it's like dark or something

[dusky trail]

the fingers feel a bit stiff

specially her pinky

[lament stump]

but idk if I can make her seem like it's dark outside so...

[hallow marsh]

Perhaps relax the pinky slightly

[strong pond]

alr thank youu

[dusky trail]

just stuff all layers into one folder

put a multiply layer on top of that layer

then try out various color to make it look darker

see which one you like

[hallow marsh]

Also on the top shirt on Mumei's left side, I would recommend sliding it back towards her arm to more to give a more rounded shape

[lament stump]

alr I'll do that when I finish shading the hair

[strong pond]

ohhh thank youu

[dusky trail]

the dagger also too center

like if she stand up, it would be in front of her crotch

[strong pond]

and last one

[lament stump]

these 2 are good and know how to point out your mistakes but imo it looks very nice :)

[dusky trail]

so if you try to pull the dagger out, her hand gonna smash her boobs

[strong pond]

ohh i didnt think of that ty

LMAO

[dusky trail]

first glare, the gun has no trigger

[hallow marsh]

I'll respond, in a bit, just in a meeting

[full solstice]

I feel like the eyes don’t match up with the face

[strong pond]

oh yea lmaoo

[strong pond]

too slanted or the eues just dont match?

[lament stump]

it shoots based on emotions

[dusky trail]

likely because her face looks like it is melt to one side

[full solstice]

Yep

[strong pond]

ohhh

thank you all

[strong pond]

ohh yea i see it now

[dusky trail]

just cut it in half like this and you can see her right eye is drift away there

the left cheek and right cheek also rather different

[strong pond]

ah

okayy thank youuu

[strong pond]

oh and

[dusky trail]

just look at the ear between the left and right

[strong pond]

aside from that

is the shading ok?

[hallow marsh]

Okay I would raise the stock of the gun a little and personal preference would be to make the large a bit larger

Shading is fine 👍

[strong pond]

okayy thank good

[dusky trail]

i think this here should be darker?

as the cape would create more shadow there

[strong pond]

ohhh right

HOLY I FOUND UR TWITTER ACC

[grave nymph]

hands look very small compared to her body and face imo

also, I suggest flipping the canvas often

can see where your mistakes are at

[ocean flower]

The rifle looks like a piece of cardboard

And also there is no trigger

[topaz zealot]

It kinda looks like her eyes are falling off her face

[lament stump]

eyes are done

not very happy about them

but Idk how to do it better for now

[dusky trail]

you could
