like knowing why the digestive system works or why muscles flex isn’t helpful for most artists but it’s helpful to know placement and proportions and how they work
knowing how they work is cool cuz you know what you draw and why
I don't wanna say I envy thoes masters cuz they didn't get born with it they put many hours into it, i just admire them and I'll work to be like them
frazetta is very inspiering for me
aka "god father" of fantasy art
can i draw her 
i feel like something is missing
i dont wanna start coloring yet bc of that someone help😭
😔
no i dont do lineart
this is what my art looks like i dont need lineart
the head was very big and boxy so i fixed it but it still feels bland
probably because there's no movement
with the hairband, you feel like there's some wind blowing or some sort of movement
but her hair doesn't follow up with that and neither do her clothes
ooooh
they just stay still and very stiff
yeah i see that
Joke draw
is this a little better? ignore the messy skirt i used a liquify pen to move it but i'll fix it once i start coloring lol
lowkey does
This is the finished one
im not that good myself especially not in trad art but i feel like the head should use a little more work
and placement of facial features
what deedoode said, the face is asymmetrical (mostly the eyes, try using a ruler)
The jawline (where the face starts sloping in to the chin) should line up with the middle of the mouth, not with the nose
I did mess up on the head a lot
in general when I do trad I take a photo of it while it’s wip then flip it to find mistakes
the frame of the head was recycled from an previous drawing on this paper
im constantly flipping my art even digitally because of that
same
painful process
gl
isn't there a shortcut button for flipping the img?


quick sketch
god
where's the final product that you were working on yesterday?
The other one? I scrapped it
Yep
'-')b nc
You can draw her as long as you don't claim her as yours.
I won't
I don't rly post anywhere anyways
Then that's fine then idm
going to try to finish this
yoo looks banger
indeed
on top of that he reminds me of metal gear moonson
I made something
https://twitter.com/GeeOctz97/status/1481584532155670528
Saiph is gonna finish something!?!?
Made this in my art class
Thank you and ayin too!
First time for everything although i doubt it’ll ever feel finished to me
artwork is only finished when you give up on it
Is there was something that weird or everything is weird?
Hands are too small, eyes are too close, arms are too short, neck could be thicker but thats stylistic so up to you
every part is off the marks, hands too small, no shoulders, neck too long for the body and hand, angle of the eyes suggest that her head is tilted slightly upwards yet the shape of the face suggests that it's not, not to mention, mirrored eyes
Um... Ok..
hands too small, no collerbone, arms too short, neck too small for the head
W.i.p fu hua
i know Fu Hua is flat too but that is just cruel~
bazongas..
they are bigger then her head
yooo looks coolio
AM I THE INLY ONE WHO FINDS THIS SUPER SATISFYING
the what exactly? 😕 ❓
Plsss I do it all the time lol
its so fun
Bruh don't be that harsh
did Delay kink shaming Aki again
High potential in that
I wanna see that finished
I like the style In that
Thank you
Like there's absolutely no flaws, looks great
Gonna draw HOF, my pose so far for her.
I'm pretty happy with what i acoplished at todays art class
I'm starting to learn drawing figure
Then when i get that down I'll go onto depth in anatomy
My art teacher sat next to me and started drawing the model
The man drew him in 30min and it looked like he took a oicture with his phone and printed it out in black and white
I'm truly inspired now
That's good that your art teacher can draw
lol
i heard stories of art teachers who can't draw
but it doesn't mean they are better teachers
some master i forgot the name said this about his teacher "he could teach it but he couldn't do it"
My teachers couldn't draw and they couldn't teach.
Decides to do the skin for HOF
U can tell a bit more with the rough colours
Is the sword a bit off?
I don't even know what the skin sword looks like
Haven't researched into it yet
So did it blank so far
No i meant the perspective
It looks off a little
Probably it is the first sketch still
Yeye just wondering
Its curvy when I flip it
But im not too bothered about it since I usually do a second sketch for the details and to make everything make sens exD
Neck is not wide
Idk if that's how it should be
I also think with that purple you made her belly go on for too long, the legs should start a bit sooner
I figured that cuz torso lasts for 4 heads
Girls have 6 and a half head to 7 heads total
But legs should make half
Yours is 4 to 3
This was the original its just the added clothes
Yea there it looks okay, you just made that purple go on for too long
Love the pose
Its dynamic
The thing coming off is crystals
Wait idk how to explain without u seeing the skin
I just didn't really draw the dress veey well so just did random plops of colour since I am trying to go into honkai
I have the skin cuz i whale skins
But its downloading the new update
So frustrating
I think the dress puffs out at the waist; the purple bow doesn’t cover it and without the puff her silhouette looks flat
that’s a nice hand tho 
For sure the dress sucks atm, I just freestyled it from the very blury references I found on Google
makes sense
also push the shoulder in front a bit back (to the right) since rn it looks tight like she’s shrugging her shoulder
Shes that op that shrugging at enemies became a common thing
she has a sharp boob o.o
i got muted cuz i said i would give her a yandere face cuz my ho...y is getting out
Kiana is definitely not a yandere
But she is mihoyo's daughter, how dare u offend her
Gonna put a black and white gradient map over it ans then gonna carry on tomorrow with a more defined sketch
I don't know if I should do lineart, I think ill just go straight to colouring after the 2nd sketch
I don't get the point of line art anymore tbh
thank you
technoblade reference?
I don't know what that is but its my oc
well I do have a pic of it
Since I cut it out for my photoshop art
basically 95% of critiques ye, they just like to point out stuff that can be improved but ultimately...cant make a better version of stuff theyre critiquing at which honestly pisses me the hell off but i can understand why. The critiques dont need to be the same skill lvl as the person who made the stuff they're critiquing because at the end of the day, humans see the same thing with the same eyes but has a different view of it subjectively.
also it seems your artstyle isnt the only thing that switched but also your brain, from dumb to dumber, maybe we can see an even worse version of it later down the line.
lmao
not doing lineart is fine, its not dumb
what i meant is that ofc his artstyle changed to more of a realistic approach, that goes without saying that you dont need lineart anymore but in the 2d artstyle its still necesarry
not necessary, mainly a stylistic choice
I do 2d style but no lineart 
I don't really get critiquing sketches unless like the head isn't even attached to the body or soemthing is really wrong.
Because isn't the whole point of sketches is to get the shape to mske it easier to either paint or to draw a neater and more accurate lines?
It's not meant to be perfect.
Its just there as guides
If a real professional artists disguised themselves for some random reason and started to send a sketch on this channel I bet you guys would still critique it.
a wise word to be said
also, is being realistically proportionate is needed? its their preferences, even a professional
artists/ illustrators do even like bigger busts or legs but its not a bad thing
clearly shik and silver trying to find someone to bully
its why you should only critique if someone asked for it
I'm more bothered by the fact that people here critique as if the person drawing don't already know that they need to fix that.
Its literally a sketch, what u want them to do? What's the whole point of a sketch if everything is 100%. It won't be called a sketch then
Do you have that little faith in one another that you think pointing out everything little thing that looks a bit off to someone is needed?
Its just the only problem is the thing called "perfection"
I think people here genuinely want to help but they end up going overboard.
Bruh im busy af to even follow a proper convo. You think Id rly give booling the time of the day?
Not me delay, I don't personally think you even go out of your way to do mkost of these things
It aki and shik who have critique fetish, im insanely busy as it is and the only time I can talk is when I'm taking my precious tiny breaks
Ik this is gonna become an argument but I reslly wanted to point out the insanity of this chat rn
Its not a comfortable place for artists to discuss and share art anymore
U can't send anything even if you're proud of it without someone trying to critique u
Its just mostly 1 person
i could only feel its aki who critique like gordon ramsay
But Gordon ramsay is a professional
lets just leave it, dont mind him its getting on my nerves
Okay...
I think aki is just in a phase where you finally got your feet wet with these things and you suddenly feel confident that you feel like you already know everything when in reality you know Jack shit about it, it'll subside. He'll mature...hopefully.
yeah agree on that
there is also the issue here that people give bad advice due to lack of knowledge like anatomy. People shouldn't be giving critiques when not asked and when they are at a lower skill level than the person they are critiquing
I don't wanna name names, I think people who do this and read through this would already know themselves
unfortunately most won't
and for the skill level people just aren't aware of theirs
he'll learn it hopefully
everyone here has a lot to learn
yeah we do, from art mindset and skills
'
anyways, lets go back to the usual art stuff
Even professionals say they have a lot to learn srill so it's obvious that we have even more to learn.
Shes cute.
I'm obsessed with characters with horns
yeah arknights do really give horned waifus
Everytime I try to make an oc its hard not to put horns on them xD
same man,
Also aki here's an example of something that doesn't follow the measurements. Those rules are easily broken with camera angles.
This arm is obviously too long but it works.
I forgot the name given to this type of perspective. I ain't good with the technical stuff
Do you know @shadow nebula the name of this?
its fisheye perspective
Art is something that's always breaking rules so don't feel you have to always follow them otherwise you'll end up coming face to face with many walls.
You're looking to become and artist after all not a surgeon.
the one thing with breaking anatomy is that you need to have a solid understanding of it to do that. Yes you don't need to know it, it won't look as good with limited knowledge or none at all, but if you're goal is to go professional then in that case you do. Art is really about your goals. Its why when i give a critique its only for what someone asked never about stylization (or anatomy if they don't care about it)
Yeah it's true with anatomy but what I mean is in general, artists breaks a lot of rules all the time not just within art but reality too.
i have been hanging out with lore's chat more than here though~ =3=
so i can spread the love for captain-verse
Lmao
am dying rEEEEE
I love Rita
since captainverse is an event thing, people just dismiss it since it is "non-canon" after all
and i have always been the type like the support cast than main cast
I've yet have to update my honkai
Got angry with it yesterday cuz all I wanted was to see my HOF skin as reference
Such bad timing update
Whyy
i want more Neon Shade type of outfit =3=
or even popping style like Delta
they are fun to draw
but anyway, did Aki done something weird to got banned again
also, the way you put the cursor on her chest there...
Did Aki get banned or muted?
also, anyone have references for a person pointing gun at you but at a top down view?
tried to be a critic
like, looking down at you and pointing the gun at you?
when he himself wasnt even nearly proficient as hanami
I swer i did it accidentally
sure you are
cute art

I think i got a bit carried away, but tbh I didn't say all that stuff just for myself l. I'm sure there are those that wanted to say soemthing but they're not brave enough to.
But he actually got banned though?
Now I do feel guilt for that
yeah but dont let peeps let your creative freedom go to waste
its really bad
seem like it just him being muted for long period of time as suual
oooo
🤔
:000 I love the way you draw clothing folds
Colouring so good... 
But here's a good one if u want a simple one.
But u don't like like to look at real women as reference there's still plenty if kurumi art for reference without the gun pointing up
Man date a live franchise changes studio as often as changing clothes 😐
Their pitch meeting be like...ok guys this season was quite the success, which studio are we gonna hire next to animate for the next season?
My beloved.. 
my first thought was "what the fuck are you watching"
Wip
shower
What might the question be
um i know pupils are supposed to be looking the same way but if someone's looking down at where they're biting, it'd make sense to make them a little cross-eyed right? and pupil near the bottom of the eyes?
pupils are generally in the center of the iris unless we’re looking from certain angles
a little cross eyed would make sense yea
it's just a straight on view
Eyy you watch FitMC too
the oldest anarchy server in Minecraft
also damn good art btw
Sick
the only thing id fix is the sword perspective but i think you already know that?
it looks amazing though :)
unless thats what you want
Tbh I also think it could be placed a lot better but I'm crying blood of the though of placing it in a place where its not as visible since it took half of my soul away from me with drawing that swords patterns.
I'll figure soemthing out tomorrow, gonna sleep now
I need some costume criticism
no aggressive criticism please im making a spider man oc and i want the costume to be this neon graffiti style but i seem to be struggling with the design any reference’s for an idea will be perfect i need the help with the design
the fall of minecrafts 2b2t
NO
with neon style, i'd definitely tone down the white a lot more
not sure if this is quite what youre looking for
but i immediately thought of akali from KDA
when you said neon/graffiti
definitely dont be afraid to push the colors more
i just
Dont know what to do with the blank spots as well
Like
What should i do with it
fill it up with cool designs!
like (again akali)
you can just put whatever vibes you're going for
or just make it a solid color
that's fine too
npnppp
Something like this? :0
Hmmm
putting too much color can make it look very very messy
as in like making shapes with black or white lineart
ohhh
That is kinda the point
there's a messy in a good way
and messy in a bad way
graffiti can be messy yet pretty as the same time
yes but it still requires some direction and color theory
what i will say is
if you're going to go in the akali uv light direction, stick with it
or if you want to go the brighter street graffiti, stick with that too
if you mish mash the two together, it just looks bad
this is going to take a while to think for the idea
haha yeah character design isn't an easy task
soo
Ill remove the web lines from the graffiti colors
And instand add them to the black color
Of the suit
And
Make them colourful
or just let them stay white
that'd be interesting but again, the graffitti colors should still have some sort of form to them using lineart but other than that i think it's great :)
although if you're going to do that
make sure your character is balanced
if everything is super colorful/busy with lines it makes the character an eyesore
you could always just leave white spaces or some sort of empty space to give more balance
go sleep 👍
Kk
Lmao
Water colors sure aren't as easy as my good old digital "painterly" pen I'm used to
im impressed just from the fact you drew hands
They are super simplefied hands but ty, i was looking for a reference on Pinterest yesterday and i searched"cute anime girl face". Then i came up to this reference and was like no it has hands but then something in my mind said, you're running from yours problems aren't you, so then I GONE BACK AND DREW THE REFERENCE
So that was yesterday, i sketched it and i said I'm gonna color it today BUT i forget to save the reference
So i just winged the colours
if you erased the sword hilt and blade, it looks like some interesting outfit pattern
Horse dudu wip

Done 😩
pog

another try at designing a schro battlesuit 
How do i make the lips more kissable?
those lips are... quite something
but you can slightly open the mouth for that
trying my hand again at designing a battlesuit for schrodinger 
it's all fun and games until I get to the coloring then it's
barf
lowkey don't wanna draw sweatpants like i actually planned and just leave it like this but mmmm idk
leave it like that 
It looks so pretty already
not yet, its a rough draft doe but its having a good progress so far
Do you know how to draw other body types? 🤔

some people just like it thicc
i noticed that they all have the same body size so i was wondering if he can do different variations of body type
i juat dont like petite drawings
im more of a busty ones ehe-
i just dont feel like it
but mostly average types i do but ptite would be a pass for me
All types are my types, no description for me.
I guess we do all have our own preferences
For me it's just the small details, for examples horns
I also love red eyes
Dif coloured eyes and i love white hair
For guys though dark hair and red eyes I love or white hair with any coloured eyes
I could feel you, AM LOVING WHITE HAIR
easily coloured and better
I think half half is cool too
ooooo
you gonna trigger Delay's asymmetry PTSD
yeah i thibk it suits everything
He has PTSD?
see, he is so shocked that he muted himself
good thing that girl only apperaed once in the anime so far 🤢
well, when it come to multi-color hair, i prefer Seele's style
different color inside
that girl's hair is just too weird coupled with her clothes also in a yin yang theme
🙅
or think like hair accessory or horn/ears to add another color up
just stock up over 90k reference pics in your PC you silly~
Its really hard to stock up when file is too full
I'm starting to think like thoes guys who make sculptures (forgot the name)
rather then thinking i gotta paint colors in specific places
sculptors...???
i think so
my husband enmu
Think i am happy with this, gonna make it neater now.
daaang thats so cool, pure talent

pog
I'm so happy that u can colour code the layers, saves reading. Just noticed u could do this xD
nice composition
Mobius!!!
Mobisus
is lineart good?
tyy
Moby's head piece looks like Mike wazowski smiling
mald
phone colouring
well since you used line to made the pole part of the weapon, it is way more "high-resolution" than the rest of the lineart there
you can just look at the different between the lineart of the pole and the hand holding it there
and i can't tell if the feet part is unfinished or not
like is that part of the heel for one of the foot or it actually the heel of the other foot?
:0 oh yeah i mustve forgotten to connect the line, its jsut the one foot though
so then i should go over the lines with a more weighted pen right?
actually im suffering
You wouldn't if you just draw in your pc instead of a tiny phone
Not a criticism on the art itself but the lineart could also use some improvement with the way the strokes are made
I’m gonna add a puddle and water drops on the umbrella later it’s supposed to be like after the rain
criticism is welcome
Are you gonna color him a bit more or is he done?
it’s a girl but I’m going for a limited color scheme
Kebin 
ikemen
making progress 
nice clothing folds
top tier!
Nice
Nice
Thanks y'all
kinda reminds me of that one gacha trend on tiktok lmao
Lmao
wow good job
Thank youu
Finally, a good navel...its been forever since I saw a good one in this ch
i would show mine but since it is Kongming and she is, well
let just say, not well dress at the moment
also a character really hard to figure out how her outfit work since they changed it... between the stigmata version, the poster version and in-game model...
and then her model also has a lot of thing blocking the view...
tys Mihoyo
even in her poster, the fan or the giant sleeve often block the view
you can clearly see the chest part here tho?
but i want the armpit~~ =3=
you can't tell how the green part of the shirt went up to the shoulder after all
ye nop not happening with clothes, she's covered in layers
Easiest way is to make her look beat up with tattered clothes and a ripped arm on her clothes
Probably put her in that ulti pose where she raises her arm to cast the tornado showing the goodies from a low camera angle
i just make the variant with the shirt and sleeve separated
well, i mainly put some effort on the upper clothe part so the bottom part feel more "expose" anyway
that wouldn't make sense coz its a yukata, they aren't detachable unless specifically designed to 🤔
the skirt alone should be detachable
with the way that green part pop right on top of the obi there
since they have the same color tone
the skirt should be hold up by the obi and could be remove alone
isn’t she a kid or something 
not Kongming at least
she is immortal and lived for quite long already
300 years or something, kinda forgot
I sure hope 😭
Ye, she's lived for so long that her universe is trying their best to kill her just to restore order
though, even in the main universe, she already an aunty
41 yup
didn’t her body stop aging at 12
idk man drawing stuff of a 12 year old body that’s mentally old is starting to push it 
u do u tho

well her legs certainly doesn't look like 12 year old
so i don't mind petite body along they has long legs
Its a freggin DRAWING in case you forgot what Theresa is

D.R.A.W.I.N.G.
getting defensive lmao
Far from it
and then there also the style
if a grown man wants to draw a 12 year old getting banged then what can u do about it just know eventually somewhere along the line somebody will bring it up
I said what I needed to
not trying to prove anything
as long the chars has long enough legs to make them look less like a kid then i'm good
since i know some artist draw rather small body type
well most artist didn't draw a certain body type because they also like that body type in RL
that kind of argument is like saying those people made Mortal Kombat must really into violent death scene
westerns and their logic be like...
hopefully
the role-player often the type more attract to the chars than artist actually
mhm
and of course, not like i only draw Kongming either
Rita too is one of my fav
so i'm more attract to the chars themself than they body type
any critiques?
well the char and the background using the same color can look really off
specially when the gray background also blurry
the eye also rather too big, if not because one of them is blocked by the hair, the size will get in conflict with each other
oh ive already drawn the other eye
i covered it after drawing it
heres a very badly done example its not supposed to look nice😭
what can i do to fix the bg problem?
what the...
what?
the centerline of the head is unclear
following the split of the hair at the top of the head the face would be at a different angle than following the angle of the face
wait that sounds unclear 
her hair is supposed to be completely covering her eyes its not supposed to be split in the middle its kinda like she was moving really fast and her hair got everywhere 😭
but yea i get what ur tryna say
I think the mouth angle is also too steep? like compared to the lines the eyes follow the mouth is either severely tilted downward on her left or severely tilted up on her right
i moved the nose and the mouth is this a little better?
yep better 
yay
Beth harmon?
I ended up doing a lineart anyways lol
hanami lineart god 

Thank you
The only thing I'd like to fix is the boobes area but I'll just do that tomorrow cuz bed time for me
I have no clue
But ik she's the main actor in quieens Gambit
are these your refs
(first by warrenlouw)
1st one yea
I'm copying it 1 for 1 cuz I CAN NOT BELIEVE
WHAT HAS THWT PERSON DREW, it truly boogles my mind
I think i did that
I'm trying to copy it 1 for 1 but man, that hair
I think I'm kind of starting to simplify how hair works in my head but it's still soooooo hard
Ty, we'll see how i do the refinding stage cuz it seems so tedious
Guys
You know thoes hair cosplayers use to cosplay, it always looks so off to me
It looks like, when your drawer that kind of hair, you do the whole hair details but forgot to add that shadow under in for the skin
That's what it looks like to me
wig?
Ye
i think a wig generally looks off especially when the wig color isnt normal like say, sky blue, red etc.
Its cuz I have work in the morning.
not really, its just its a pinup pose that i have to censor
sadge
just put the black bar on the eyes
hii shik
Gpen
seems gpen does tge trick
It mostly doss
unlike other pens which has a lower opacity
which does solve my problem regarding the coloring process
@dusky trail why do you never say hi back to me
i don't say hi to other humanoid
But why ;(
Also it's 2022 i can go on Twitter and say that I'm a furry now and then i cancel you for calling me human

dunno if im ever gonna finish this 
the gold parts on her chest are just way too complicated 
well you don't have to draw thing exactly how it looks in-game anyway
sometime you just have to "forgot" some part
honkai designs too complicated anyways
Keqing 💕
i wanna lick that skin
Who wouldn't
Perverts 


maybe I’ll clean this up and paint it (spoiler for 5.5 outfit)
Its very cute
nice clothing folds 
Sel me and u are always active at the same time
i always see you around lol

@lone wagon about our "argument" on knowing anatomy thing, here's an example of what i was talking about, how some ppl know anatomy to the point of him drawing what he knows more then drawing what he sees
Here’s an anatomical quicksketch drawing demo of the quads. You can find 5 more narrated drawing demos in the anatomy course at http://proko.com/anatomy

Drowning myself on chibis ig
So do any of youse think using 3D models to help with art is cheating?
no
how is that cheating, art is not a test
Oh sweet, I’ve been wanting to try it out
unless ur blatantly tracing
and post it as your own
thats cheating
tracing is fine too HAHAHA
Its not but I think that being very dependent on it hinders your own drawing skills to some extent that you can't produce the same quality without it
^ this
its a good start if u need proportions
but after u grasp it try to separate yourself from it
I still struggle with anatomy so i’m hoping 3d models will help me get better
Yup
i wont consider anything in art cheating
unless ur posting it online for your own benefit
imo, it is not cheating but like what delay said, it hinders your potential to improve further
Then you probably haven't experienced the pain of ppl stealing your art and tracing it then
whats worse, was claiming it its theirs
That's why always put signatures ppl
yeah, unless you are a famous illustrator like hews/asanagi etc.
I have very little confidence when it come to the way I do anatomy but would you say that’s fine?
Face shape needs adjusting
that hair style is not too uncommon but it still look like a pain to see
yeah kinda hassle to do tbh
Which one?
Having to scrrenshot the work and then posting it
i have to browse all the way to the files
Ye whyre you even taking a pic 😐
posting a progress
I meant why take a pic of the wips instead of smashing the printscreen button and pasting it?
was not yet used to pc
just recently got my pc since 3months
so im not familiar with key shortcuts yet
Ahh then now you know, just use printdcreen, snipping tool or windows key +shift+ S
thankies man
And my point is not to deny you, you seem to think that to be a professional you need to know all of this stuff but that's not true. You need to know anatomy obviously but not to the extreme details.
Im gonna say this coz this topic is already dragged out for too long and it pisses me off but I believe that the intensity of knowledge you have to pound in your brain when it comes to anatomy depends ENTIRELY in your artstyle. You love cartoon artstyle? You can get away with wiggly tiny limbs and giant heads, etc. Anime? You're free to modify the parts you find attractive for you. Realistic? Ye go ham with your anatomy knowledge. I dont care if you disect a human or scram through pages about muscles and skeletones or whatever, its what your artstyle demand from you. So not everyone is obligated to pound every tiny detail the human anatomy has to offer but only know the foundation of what this and that do and how it looks like depending on how much their artstyle demand from them.
holy moly, another argument again?
Ye its this boolshaet every week
you know, dont press your perspective on others mind you know who you are i am tired seeing this drama all day and we all have our preferences
its like trying to fit a square block on a circle
this is way getting out of hand
Just Aki being too high on this drug called anatomy
does anatomy matter? yes it is
but trying to be a perfectionist to be accurate in art? thats a big nono
youre way too focused on the anatomy that you tend to make them believe your perspective
amd try to be in a correct position
well you know Aki still don't have the "think outside the box" mindset yet
I've been watching this from the side for a while now actually, I mean my personal view is that you don't need to know every last bit of the human anatomy, art isn't biology yk?
we do have differences in the perspective regarding anatomy, but you dont have to ham your opinions on others
As long as you can get a grasp of how it looks in a general sense and how it works I think it'd be fine
i also don't think you need to know down to muscle fiber of the model to draw thing either
unless you want to draw a more muscular type of character
Ahh well, I'll go back to lurking now I was just sat at my bus stop and thought I'd share my opinion

man, we are tired of seeing this arguments all day, we just give tips and post art not trying to be a tryhard
I thought i was the one in trouble then, maybe for contributing to this this long argument im guilty but my opinions are still the same as u guys.
well, that is why realistic style artist and free style anime artist sometime just don't mess well
not even your fault, we just face this kind of challenges all day
maybe next time, send an email to nickelodeon and rant how these characters' anatomy are way off despite them being professional artists @lament stump
Feeling like a slight ahole cause akis not online to defend himself 
What started this anyway?
Idc and even if they're online id say the same thing.
@lone wagon bro dont blame yourself for being guilty, just dont pay attention on perfection, you draw well and always will be best
try doing your art on yourself, not for others
well this kind of complain is quite normal to see when some didn't put the idea of "it is just fiction" thing anyway
from anatomy to stuff like "it is unrealistic to fight in this kind of clothe" and so on
yeah, but someone is making it like its a big deal
even why her boob so big or why her boob so small thing
like its their own art like 
Yeah i dont get why people become such critiques when they see cartoons
Especially cartoons that look better than them
How dare these cartoon look hotter them me i dont like it, it'd sexist!
Just twitards people that are like that tbh
peeps trying to be a perfect being it seems
thinking they are doing such a righteous thing
but oh well its your everyday life especially in twitter
anyways dont mind em dude
feel confident and be proud of your art
I am not even on twitter, never had an account on there
I just hear all kinds of bs stories especially when ut comes to art
And anime
well, i mean there are no social media that has no karens out there
I avoid twitter like its the plauge tbh
they are everywhere and will be
i do only follow artist/illustrators as such so i avoid seeing those bad things
I sometimes get hero hei stuff pop up on my yt and since they're short videos I watch them
And think, omg such a chaotic platform
Why are they even allowing twitter to exist at this point?
its the managements fault tho, but thats the way it is
its their platform and not ours
I mean I've heard horror stories, people I know have said it's like, quote "they're always trying to get a foot over eachother in everything, nobody wins its just a group of oppressive people in one place"
we hold no power on em'
I feel like if I ever make a twitter acc and stay too long on it it'll drive me insane, so never made one.
just there are post selections on twitter, i only picked drawing/art related stuff
thank god i dont see any bad posts going on
mostly illustrator stuff and sorts
Ur lucky then, cuz i see a lot of NFTs problem rn and people attacking artists particularly in the genshin community
well twitter is still handy to some extend
my feed also just filled with pixiv artist i follow too
try make one but, its on your decision to do so,
mostly pick art stuffs and you wont ever see one incriminating post ever
or just pick foreign artist so you can't even tell what the heck they are saying
I csnt make art accounts right now, its for a reason but nothing to do with being scared to make one, I will make one eventually
I already distance myself from twitter because of those ppl. I just post my art on pixiv and so far I've been more successful there than Twitter.
me
mostly jp illust
i attempted to post art in pixiv, my image became blurry since it was 22.2mb size of the pic

Pixiv is the first place I wanna go too when I make an art account
I haven't made any art accounts, but college keeps telling me to make an insta art account 
In my opinion, I don't really think Instagram is that good for artists, I think its more for selfies and extra bonuses if you're already a popular artist
its good if you know how to work the algorithm. No site is designed for artists
its doesn't change too often so once you know the changes you can adjust
It's something I'll probably look into soon
Since my lecturer is so insistent on me having one
for my school its mandatory to have a website
Man I could never I'd be so confused, I've never even thought about any of that before
a website is for employers so not needed if you don't want to go professional
Well the whole point of taking the course I'm on is taking art to a professional level so I guess I'll just have to learn it
Not too sure yet, I have quite a bit to work on still
better to hold off then until you're at industry standard
Yee 
Lately everything i say here i get bullied for it
My college tried having me make my own websites also xD they thought using WordPress was good.
God I hated using WordPress
Ywah i studied a design course and they made me use WordPress as a portfolio, but did not enjoy that at all.
They never taught me actual art though they just taught me what programmes are available and how to use them most of them time.
They then gave me a theme and was like yeah do whatever u want, here's a deadline
Go
So I've just self studied art in my own time and I didnt choose to go to uni cuz I thought it would be the same thing. Wasting money and time for soemthing they're not even gonna teach me.
yeah its useless
thats why self study is the most effective thing to do
They have connections to actual work places, if you get the degree u r more likely to get a job working for a company but i dont wanna do it that way.
But i think in my place, art relared courses are very expensive
was contemplating back then to become an architect
The things they teach you and make you do is like preparing you to work in those kinds of places, you're expected to self teach most of the time. That's what they told me in college.
though i am bad at houses
And after they told me that I decided, yeah I'm not gonna waste time and money for university
Yeah, its rather bad for not to teach you directly their experiences
If they expect me to self teach myself art I'll do that without spending money, I'll just gain money by getting a job while studying myself.
its like giving you a materials in a house but not teaching you what to do
most effective way
Well tbh it's not art school that I went to, if it was art school it would be different but my parents wernt willing to pay to get me into art school
we have same feels but in my case, it was due to the expenses
So i just went fk u to life and decided to do what I wanna do when I can anyways without spending a single penny.
here in ph, art courses are the most expensive to choose
like, the end result of doing it would be the same
why bother attending art school
Yeah they're so expensive it's ridiculous
Luckily college for me was free but because I went to college and did a design course that I came to this conclusion for myself, it might not be the best choice but I'll just deal with it and carry on.
i mean some successful artist never do art school tho
Ik that, and because of knowing that is also part of the reason to why I didn't choose to go. Art is soemthing you don't particularly need a qualification for anyways, it's not like wanting to be a doctor
I can agree on that
i really cant go slack at developing something
I had so many annoying meetings with my teachers in college trying to push me to go to uni and I'm like
I said no so can u just leave me alone
In a nicer way obviously
i can relate, in some way
relatives wanted me to become an architect/engineer, complains why female is the only subject i do
but i said that i choose what i choose and i draw what i draw
I hate that they think art is all the same, just because you like to draw anime doesn't make you automatically qualify to become an architect u baffoon.
i mean, art applies in any type of art form
Obviously but there's a lot more to art, there's lots of different types of art forms
Music is art
Its a lot more complicated than that but their old mindsets don't understand that
Well, thats the current mindset peeps think
My mum the other day was like, why don't you try to actually draw realistic people, wouldn't that be better?
It peed me off so much
dang-
this is me
its been for a long time ever since i started
Who are u to say what I should and should not draw, go away mind your own business. I argued with her and she kept quiet.
wished i could have the confidence
This fruit salad is rubbish, who made this?

I never used to be this confident until I got so fed up I ran away from home for a day without telling her and she got so worried
And after that she started listening to me more
Still has the old mindset but at least she's listening now
Mom also was understanding and started being supportive
but other family members were not
My dad tried roasting me the other day for not going to uni
And i was like
U went to uni, didn't get the job u wanted, and now ur paying student debt for the rest of your life
At least I ain't going into any debt
this is pain but hey, you got freedom
That guy didn't even know what he wanted to do, he just went to uni for the fun
At least I have soemthing I want to achieve
glad you already reached freedom
i mean you have already an achievent
Freedom? Not just yet I still havs stuff I need to do before that.
could do commisions
There's a reason I haven't started art accounts yet.
well, nearly i guess
but glad you are having some freedom
I prefer earning money and doing art when I can than studying anyways. Never liked it.
same
but before i engage in commsions, i think i should do a lot of development first
mainly coloring
needed a god master coloring sensei oof
If that's what you want to do then go for it
I sometimes wish I would wake up the next day and automatically have all the knowledge of colouring also
Its soemthing I struggle with
this is what i face everyday
not knowing how will i develop
I'm always havign a tantrum about it xD
nor what ways could be done correctly
I'm kicking around like whyy why can't I automatically be good at colouring like rn
mines is having a mind struggle
but fr man you good at coloring already
But ik that the reason art is something I like its because I can see me progress
If i automatically become good without progress then there's no actual thrill in drawing anymore
yeah i mean i could feel the same
I would get tired and be lazy
aight man, good luck champ
that is your opinion. Not all art schools are bad and not all are good. If your goal is to go professional you either need a really good teacher or know how to properly study art and anatomy.
...or search them all up in the internet 
art schools are often more about forcing you to actually study and move out of your comfort zone
because its super hard to stay motivated/disciplined by yourself
they are also there to teach you a variety of techniques and mediums. Some of these things you can't fully grasp without having someone teach you as this is centuries of trial and error
I mean if you want to work at industry standards you prolly have to know how to draw more body types than busty anime girls anyways
ye its a huge advantage to have someone that knows what theyre doing answering your questions too
and a schrolover said, anatomy is mandatory for the art industry and many other things that require years of study
yeah, exactly. I don't understand why people scoff at art schools when they have never attended in the first place
Looks good tho
I was dissing University, not art school the only thing I said about art school is that it's expensive and my parents won't help me pay for it so I decided not to go do any further studies. I actually wanted to go to art school but nobody around was willing to help so went straight to work instead.
I wanted to go to FZD school of design in Singapore
If anybody has ever heard of it
It was established by Feng zhu the legend himself
But it was way out of my range
However I've seen people who self teach themselves as freelancers without studying much anatomy to such lengths but end up getting commissioned anyways by companies to do specific art. It depends on what u wanna do
If you're willing to work in the industry itself and be apart of a team within a company then you need different sets of qualities obviously and msot likely they're looking for people who have more knowledge in stuff like anatomy.
But if you just wanna do art for fun as a freelancer, it doesn't really matter if you study a lot or not because you're not working for anyone
The question is whether you want to work for someone else or work for yourself.
Personally I prefer to be a freelancer, it's a more risky path for someone who actually wanna make a living out of art but I prefer to draw something I like at my own pace than being forced to work as a machine in a games company somewhere. Sounds too stressful.
Nowadays being professional in something just means having a job. You work at McDonald's cleaning toilets? Well you're a professional cleaner! If you can make a living out of art it doesn't matter if you work for a company or not, you're still a professional.
But these are all my personal views
That particularly comment I wrote was meant for everyone tho, ppl who only treat it as a hobby, casual ppl, ppl who're moderately serious about improving and ppl who're obsessed with turning art as their job in the future.
I was talking about other who constantly have bad things to say while having never attended
Because 👆
And this is an individual problem
I should also mention most freelancers have a solid understanding of anatomy or the very basics of it. Unfortunately with freelancing its difficult to start and its basically working at a studio except with a less reliable source of income
That's why it's more risky, we were discussing extreme knowledge in anatomy to the point where you're basically michelangelo
Just because you can learn online doesn’t mean you learn the right things. There are plenty of amateur artists talking like professionals and spreading misinformation. You can have your own opinion delay but so do others. Not all art schools are great and not all are bad
Anatomy is important u need to know anatomy to draw bodies well but like i said its not something you particularly need to go into extreme details in learning to be able to achieve professional level
You don’t need doctor lvl anatomy knowledge unless you’re going to paint muscular individuals realistically with minimal references. Just seems like there have been people going back and fourth on needing any knowledge or none at all
Which as i have said its up to what your goals for art are
That's what we were trying to say, it's good to know anatomy, the more u know the better but depending on what u wanna do you don't need to have extreme knowledge in it.
Well that's what I want to say anyways idk about anyone else
Yeah, if going professional you’ll need it. Its a requirement for studios. If not then honestly who care what you do as long as you like it
What was the source of this argument in the first place? I kind of forgot I lost track of it.
Some people have been arguing about it for days now
This is all so dumb, ik it's dumb but I'm getting involved in it anyways.
Yeah, at this point i’ve become a broken record repeating the same stuff (that its all about your goals)
The human mind is so complicated just like this conversation. There's no point in arguing in soemthing that has many paths and many answers.
This argument is basically arguing about whether the egg or the chicken came first
No end...
technically there isnt really a point having an argument that drags on forever because each person will look at one side differently than other and we all like to think that we are right, so it would be harder to accept another point of view
and also your point of view differs from mine based on our own different experience
so how you view something doesn't always suit me
which is why every person can create their own style of art without having to copy someone elses if they are motivated to
thats just my take on art
are you guys still on anatomy thing..
@shadow nebula have you ever learned art from books?
Anatomy and colour theory
I'll soon buy one for the anatomy
beginners guide to anatomy, forgot the author but I'll resarch it
done..
the body and hand could've looked a lot better but i just rushed it cuz eh, it's not going on socials soo.. I get away with being a lil woosy
that looks sick

cute froggies
pog
Hii akii
poor aki 
just one word from Aki and now the art-discussion forever separated
Looks good so far
Aki breaths and a whole war starts happening in the art discussion atm xD
I was trying to look at art books the other day, but cannot find one for colouring in a more anime way.
They're all in Japanese
crying man
