#

Hi from Russia

onyx breach
#

Hello there

lament stump
#

@onyx breach does your hand get sweaty from artist glove?

lone wagon
#

deleted it before cuz didn't like the eyes. Gonna go eat now and come paint again.

#

I still don't use those gloves

onyx breach
#

With or without the gloves the hand naturally generates sweat because its working

lone wagon
#

Mine don't sweat

lament stump
#

but mine gets so sweaty that i want to take off the glove

onyx breach
#

It does, you just barely sweat is all

lone wagon
#

The weather rn is too cold to sweat but even in summer it doesn't sweat.

onyx breach
#

Thats the point of the glove, to catch your sweat instead of it smudging your screen. If you remove it, it loses its one and only use

#

Just wash your glove regularly

hardy yew
#

at least its not like me

lone wagon
#

I went into a sauna for like 20mins and i only had a tiny bit of sweat on my forehead though so I think i just don't really sweat.

hardy yew
#

buys expensive tablet
hasnt used

#

idk i think it depends on the person tho for sweat

lone wagon
#

I don't sweat on my feet also. Even in 40degrees heat it doesn't get sweaty or smell

#

Same as armpits I don't smell under my pits

onyx breach
#

Your body is doing a poor job at cooling itself

lone wagon
#

Its never smells

#

Yeah it does do a bad job I overheat easily snd get dizzy

#

XD

onyx breach
#

Sweat is like the fan of a laptop

lone wagon
#

But at the same time I get so cold easily too my body just does a bsd job at regulating my temperature

onyx breach
#

Ye thats terribad in its own way

lone wagon
#

But the benefits is that I don't have smelly feet and I don't have smelly pits

lament stump
lone wagon
#

Geezsus how sweaty does it get?

#

I never saw the point in those gloves I didn't know what it was for, now ik

#

But i dont need it Xd

#

Its useless and gets in the way for me

lament stump
#

try the glove i bet your gonna see the difference of sliding across the screen

#

it feels smooth af

onyx breach
#

Ye your hand glides in the glass

lament stump
#

i haven't washed my glove even once since i got this huion

#

idk if that's bad

onyx breach
#

Lol wash it regularly , it dries quick anyway

onyx breach
#

Ah great, another case of commission where client only provides manga pages of the character reference entirely in black n white VelionaDerp

lone wagon
#

Already threw away my gloves, I used them for like 2 hours

#

And i threw them away cuz they were annoying

onyx breach
#

Lel

#

probably the most times i had to do mirroring in a single piece

#

Also had the chance to use my chair as the reference haha

lone wagon
#

Your artstyle looks different in this. Are you trying new things?

onyx breach
#

No, its one of the CGs from a game im working on and they asked me to copy a specific artstyle for these CGs

lone wagon
#

Oh makes sense

molten flume
#

Really tried doin' somethin different

dusky trail
#

then how about draw they back sometime

molten flume
#

i dont have any confidence to draw backs yet

onyx breach
#

how is this diff from the usual piece you do? 🤔

molten flume
#

im too attached to the booba yet

dusky trail
#

then you can always try side boob

molten flume
#

i think that im satisfied but i need some refining

onyx breach
#

try diff angle next time then '-')b

#

its always front view with more or less the same pose

molten flume
#

yeah i guess so

When you finish lineart and then realize you have to color and add details

shadow nebula
#

it looks like a korean hanbok just modernized and stylized

lone wagon
#

I think personally it resembles the shitagi and hakama because of the fact that these were worn but samurai which are warriors with swords. And the painting has like trousers on and hakama old basically a skort which is trouser and skirt.

#

The samurai would usually wear armour over the top though but that one don't have armour

shadow nebula
#

that is too different from a shitagi and hakama. Art style looks korean and has what looks very similar to traditional korean clothing.

lone wagon
#

But the hanbok looks even more different

#

It doesn't look anything like the hanbok

shadow nebula
#

it does, its a modernized version of it. Fairly common in korean comics

lone wagon
#

Ik cuz i modeled for a korean fashion show In hanbok and the hanbok for the males doesn't look anything like that

shadow nebula
lone wagon
#

The pic is not loading im on the bus

#

Wait

#

U could also argue its the Chinese hanfu modernized

#

From that image

#

I was talking about historically on what it looks most like

dusky trail
#

well it is layered clothes either way

lone wagon
#

Yeah

hardy yew
#

Bit hard to discern but cool

fiery lantern
#

why does every long pigatils girl look like miku 🙁

hardy yew
#

i mean

#

you’re not wrong

dusky trail
#

you just have to add more drill

onyx breach
# fiery lantern

Because you haven't seen enough memorable twintailed characters

fiery lantern
#

yes bcmiku is the most memorable

#

wait there’s osana Najimi

#

but her hair doesn’t have loopyloops

fiery lantern
nova juniper
#

i think its most often the bangs doing the miku effect

onyx breach
#

Miku never pops in my head when I see twintails

lone wagon
#

Me too

#

The only thing that screams miku to me is the blue hair and pigtails

#

But it has to be blue hair as well along with the pigtails

dusky trail
#

there are plenty of twintails nowaday anyway

lone wagon
#

That one is pretty I like the artstyle

dusky trail
#

from one with more volume on they hair to those with random horns/cat ears like on they head

lone wagon
#

Even before miku there are many memorable twin rails

#

Like sailor moon

dusky trail
#

why one of her thigh seem flat

lone wagon
#

And inori

dusky trail
#

Inori is more pigtail though

lone wagon
#

The difference between them is that they just have less hair

#

Personally I count them as the same thing xD

#

Same style just thinner hair

#

Plenty of pigtails/twintails characters that look nothing like miku

dusky trail
#

but ya, we have plenty of twintails

#

it just depend on which one leave a more impression on you so you instantly think of that char whenever you see someone similar

#

just like how you see a char wearing black jacket and using two swords will make you think about "is that Kirito?

guys what is the black thing he's wearing called?

lament stump
#

messy sketch but except clothing and clothing folds everything is done

#

i wonder if theres to much emty space on the floor

#

I'm leaving it emty cuz i want to push the eye to the hand cuz the hand will have light and the head, se thoes two will be the main focus

#

bg gonna be blured cuz fuck dealing with perspective, but because I'm going for the dark theme I'll leave light on that window behind him so his head pops out

onyx breach
lament stump
#

no

#

the outfit

onyx breach
#

That's just Japanese standard male uniform for high school

fiery lantern
#

IM SORRY FOR LAUGHING

lament stump
#

didn't rly think japanese male uniform would work

lament stump
#

I'm so glad they are airing s3

dusky trail
#

not my taste

lament stump
#

I'm into teasing so it's a dear anime to me

dusky trail
#

then just go watch all-boys anime

#

since the main guy usually the shy quiet one

lament stump
#

i have it a rought idea of how it should look like

#

i won't do whole grey scale I'll just use this as a ref, but it seems i have to do line art :(, otherwise I'll have to refine it too much

#

silver I'm sorry now i understand line art purpouse

lament stump
#

okay I'm not doing line art that's hell

onyx breach
#

I wonder if they'll ever animate the takagi-san spinoff as well where they're already husband and wife with a daughter

#

That spin off is very wholesome when it comes to the tease jokes compared to this one where it's more on the childish side

dusky trail
#

there just way too many "teasing heroine, shy protagonist" for my taste

#

i don't hate playful teasing heroine on they own

#

but when combine with push over main just not as fun to watch

onyx breach
#

I can stomach the takagi-san anime but not for nagatoro

#

The way her expressions are drawn just gets on my nerves not to mention she gets possessive of him when other girls treat the Mc better than her like bruh

dusky trail
#

ya her face certainly annoying to look at...

#

specially that one normal eye and one wide eye

onyx breach
#

Yup

lament stump
#

hm

lament stump
#

nagatoro is one of my fav

dusky trail
#

i rather the "kuudere" type

#

fun to see and fun to draw

onyx breach
#

I've read the manga but dropped it

#

I almost did the same thing to quintessential quintuplets as well coz Nino's attitude prior to dere phase was insufferable

dusky trail
lament stump
onyx breach
#

Because they're chaotic neutral characters

dusky trail
onyx breach
dusky trail
#

it just so hard~ to tell the different between a boy-cut hair and long hair

#

and in the early stage of the manga, it seem they all have more similar shade of hair

#

so it could be either the publisher or the author just changed it later to make the girls more pop

onyx breach
#

What I hate the most was Nino, she's been treating the Mc like human garbage the whole time and just flipped 180 and just turned dere dere all of a sudden. You can't just excuse that attitude and forget about it the next day just because she's treating you better all of a sudden.

#

Just makes my blood boil

dusky trail
#

normal people may don't care about the hair color thing but as someone who draw stuff, it just really bug me when chars with that much color yet no one able to tell who is who

onyx breach
#

Coz like I said, they're only different in the reader's pov so we can tell who is who but for the characters inside the story they're all pink

dusky trail
#

the same way you know how a RPG work but then when you read isekai series, author keep pulling nonsense like they never play game before

#

like you know, a witch who beat slime for 300 years and get maxed lv

#

even though anyone play game would know the exp you need to lv up will increase each time

#

but anyway, we just gonna go deep in off-topic at this rate

onyx breach
#

Ye lol evrryone knows your exp bar gets bigger everytime you lvlup in an rpg

#

Also, rpg games normally have ranking system for highest lvls, dmg, hp, etc so that players can feel good about themselves yet for some reason ppl don't know her

onyx breach
#

If the Mc was a masochist if be fine coz then her attitude towards Jim would turn into comic relief

lament stump
#

playing tsundere is very effective in real world, except when she bullys you to the point of saying die you human trash

#

ppl always talk about how you come to want someone more if they don't want you back or in tsundere case pretend not to

onyx breach
#

Ye I don't mind tsundere troupes, what I hate is when it gets overboard to the point they just treat someone as garbage but then acts all jealous when a potential girl treats mc better

#

Just makes me 🤢

hardy yew
#

mfs when they realize telling someone to die isnt going to make them like you

hardy yew
#

is this correct? also where should i draw the arm because idk where to go from here

hardy yew
#

nothing wrong with messy sketch, its just a wip after all

lament stump
hardy yew
#

as long as artist can understand it should be fine

lament stump
shadow nebula
#

Its a good start. I'd recommend using a reference for the hand if you didn't. The hand and fingers are missing joints and you're missing the thumb.

hardy yew
#

i dunno where to slap the arm without it looking wrong

lament stump
#

Put your hand in that pose

#

Look at your arm

#

And there it should be

shadow nebula
#

take a photo of your hand in the same position and you'll know where to put the arm. I'd recommend always using a reference if you're not sure

lament stump
#

The amount of time you said use reference is countless lol, but some ppl still say drawing from reference is this and that

hardy yew
#

casually trying to find a way to prop my phone up to take a picture and struggling

#

is it fine if i dont include the thumb as a style choice since it looks out of place

lament stump
#

No

#

Well everything in art is fine

#

But would leaving the thumb really make saiph happy?

hardy yew
lament stump
#

Now take a almost naked ref photo oh your self and send

shadow nebula
#

Leaving the thumb out isn't s style choice and will make the hand look very weird

how does this look? HigoThink

dusky trail
hardy yew
#

they shouldnt stick out if theyre behind the middle finger, no?

dusky trail
#

they will from that angle

hardy yew
#

how would i angle them to be behind the middle? sorry cant really think well right now

dusky trail
#

the way you draw the fingers, the hand should be low enough for the thumb to be there

#

just simple draw the tip of it near the index finger

#

from the way you set up, it should be like this

hardy yew
#

could you redline where it should be to make it behind? ill probably forget by tomorrow if i dont have something saved

#

since im going to bed welpp

dusky trail
#

but i just did~ =3=

#

also if you want to thumb to be hidden then you can straight out the palm more

#

the way you draw the palm look round and more visible under the finger there will create a more "high up angle"

#

@hardy yew just gonna throw you both style like this

#

add some knuckle like the left one also help flatten the hand out

#

If you guys are up for it you can also open commissions there

lament stump
#

I'm still yet to open that fanbox you talked about

dusky trail
#

imagine pay for Aki's fanbox

dusky trail
#

so unless you prepare to put out something worth people money every month then it may too soon for you

onyx breach
#

I got in trouble thrice already in fanbox coz I forgot to put mosaics

dusky trail
#

good thing i back Blade Galaxis back when he just opened his fanbox so manage to get some uncensored one ufuufuf

#

i like Blade's art but boi he love to put his stuff in really low resolution

onyx breach
#

There's plenty of uncensored things in Google

dusky trail
#

but you want more of your fav artist uncensored version so you can steal some technique for certain part

#

like i backed Takanashi Rei since he has some interesting sketch

#

while Rei also an artist really put detail on the ribs

onyx breach
#

Amatsukaze

dusky trail
#

Blade and M-da T-rou also put PSD file as their reward so you can also see how they do they thing there

#

though M-da's file is... quite big

onyx breach
#

Its still not above 250 mb yjo

dusky trail
#

it is the amount of layers he used since M-da draw a lot of variant along with background

#

like with this one

#

quite a lot of layers go in to it, the high light, the sweat, the foggy effect and the color layer

#

so it is quite fun to dig in they PSD file and see how it work

onyx breach
#

Yay for navel

i don't get cosplay

#

mabye i do if it's for fun, anything that is fun is okay to do except braking the law but y'know

#

but i don't get professional cosplay

#

yes you look cool if you do it right

#

but compared to the caracter you're cosplaying you are never gonna look even close as good to it's art form

#

so you can do it for fun but how do you make that professional, do ppl pay money to see you in cosplay?

#

ig if you cosplay someone and you're aslo hot and you do nsfw content that can earn you money

#

then again doing nsfw content when you are hot doesn't requier cosplay so then it comes back to it being fun and you wanting to do it

but i don't want to further discuss about it here tbh since im afraid i might get muted or so <: (

lament stump
#

And promotions done better with art, my point is compared to art cosplay doesn't make sense if it's not for fun and if you want to be cool/cute

#

Okay

lost wagon
#

all kind of promotion has it's meaning.

#

i believe

#

art is a good way and so is cosplay

#

it's just they're focusing on different people.

#

you might be more attracted towards art related promotion because it's more relatable for you. for someone else who maybe doesn't appreciate are as much as you might get the attention from a cosplay.

Guys do you have socials anxiety?

#

social anxiety or anxiety about posting on social media

lament stump
#

I don't have that one, cuz if ppl on socials Media/Internet not like your stuff it doesn't seem like it brothers me, oh they don't like my stuff 10 commented it's shit but i got 5 likes so I'm happy with my likes and I'll go for more likes, if it results in more bad comments then oh well idc

#

Bot that anyone really comments on your art that it's bad, ppl respect you for putting in the work so even if it's the worst thing ever none or very few are gonna say it

#

I have a social anxiety irl, I can't seem to start conversation with strangers aka make friends, i just can't get my self to go and say hi I'm aki

Not that i would say aki irl cuz it's a nickname but you get what i mean

# lament stump Okay

I think its more on just having fun and wearing your fav character's clothes and im pretty sure they dony rly consider it as a job but rather a hobby

#

But if you get money and enjoy your hobby its killing 2 birds with one stone

#

Nothings better than doing what you love the most and earn money off of it.

You only burn out if you keep doing the same everyday you need to give yourself a break. Its just like a game, you play so hard you'll eventually feel burned out no matter how much you already spent on it. Give yourself a breather and do something diff from time to time so when you get back to what you were doing, you'll have a fresh mind and new motivation.

I tried to test putting on my artwork as a pfp the other day but it was way too blury as a pfp

#

How do u fix that? XD

#

I have no idea still on why my paintings goes blury after I make it into a jpeg

shadow nebula
#

don't export as jpeg, always export as a png

#

you also typically want a lower res for an icon

molten flume
#

well, i handpicked it to be a kriss vector

#

intentionally swapped

#

also im in pain for not getting wakamo

dusky trail
#

didn't get her either but got Karin and new year Serika

#

who i decided to skipped her banner but then so up in this one anyway...

molten flume
#

I should have been skip the yukata aru dang

#

i regretted it

#

90 but a eimi and a heckin aru dupe

dusky trail
#

well i just gonna start save up and wait for summer rerun, probably show up in 2 months

molten flume
#

still wakamo is my fave alongside hina and aru

#

i wasted some pyro on some meta LiliDead

dusky trail

The eyes can't be flat like that

#

They curve with the face cuz the head is some what a box it has 4 sides and eyes fall/ curve to other to sides

#

Seems like you got it right on the mouth tho

whole cloak
#

did they ask for critique

lament stump
#

Idc, I'm always glad if someone takes out their time of the day to help me improve and understand more about the thing i love, art

lusty hazel
lament stump
#

There's 2 types of art, 1 is where you follow the basics understanding of form and make beliveble stuff with thoes set rulesz then you can create a style where you break thoes rules but to break them you gotta know them 1st

#

And the 2nd type is you do what ever you wantz if it's fun to you to put two dots and a line and call it a face sure do it but don't expect it to be good in other ools eyes

lusty hazel
#

pls tell me why you need to know anatomy when you wanna go for the opposite god aki

#

i thought it was just an optional thing to study

lament stump
#

F you, I'm not trying to sound smart it's just how things are

lusty hazel
#

?

#

i was asking a question

lament stump
#

What question

lament stump
#

What is "opposite"

lusty hazel
#

stylized

lament stump
#

To break the rules you must know them to understand how to break them

#

And style is you breaking the rules

lusty hazel
#

nonono, i just thought it would be pointless to do that

lament stump
#

No need to know every bone and muscle if you draw lolis but fundamentals are needed

glass glade
#

just did a roblox commission i think its kinda cute

lusty hazel
#

nice color choice

glass glade
glass glade
#

well it depends

#

it depends on the style you wanna go for

#

but for the most part there arent rules

lusty hazel
#

rules of anatomy lol

glass glade
#

my anatomy is sht lmao i take tips from people to improve it

lusty hazel
#

youre doing great 👍

glass glade
#

thank u

lament stump
glass glade

i think everyone is good they just have their own style

lament stump
lusty hazel

#

That's the rule you followed

#

If you didn't follow the rule the face would look weird that's all

glass glade
#

yeah i mean im not saying i dont follow rules but i am saying that even if someone doesnt that doesnt make their art bad

lament stump
#

If you like the wired then you don't follow the rules

glass glade
#

ok i like it picasso

lament stump
#

But if you know how to break the rules like Picasso then you become Picasso the all mighty great artist

glass glade
#

that would be great but i wanna be around to see my art flourish

lusty hazel
#

didnt u hate abstract art awhile ago

glass glade
#

who

lusty hazel
#

aki

glass glade
#

oh

lament stump
#

Now why did he get so popular for it i do not know nor i wish to

lusty hazel
#

thought most artist got popular cuz they died

hardy yew
#

nobody asked

lament stump
#

I don't care, I'll give it if I want to

hardy yew
#

you’re just making someone feel worse about themselves if they don’t specifically ask

lament stump
#

I said it in nicest way possible

#

How do i make them feel bad

hardy yew
#

it makes no difference to you if you said nothing at all

#

not everyone is you

lusty hazel
#

even if you say it nicely they still didnt ask for it LOL

lament stump
#

I don't say shit to finished art cuz i now if you oost a finished product you sre not here for crits but if they send a sketch

#

To art discussion channel

#

There's no point in doing so if not to get feedback

lusty hazel
#

art discussion AND WIP... there are people that draw for fun and are not looking for crit...

lament stump
#

Sure

hardy yew
#

there’s a reason why you’re literally the clown in this channel

lusty hazel
#

i thought after you got smacked by tems friend you learned your lesson

lament stump
#

That lesson was about putting things to harsly

#

And it's stupid to force me out of trying to help, the ppl i say stuff to have no obligation to listen to me it's a message on the internet you can ignore it but I'm just giving advices

whole cloak
#

simple critique can be too harsh in itself if someone doesn’t want it

#

not everyone feels comfortable even posting so the point is that critique isn’t helping that (potential lack of) self confidence
or some ppl just aren’t interested in getting critiqued and want to move at their own pace

but they at least gave her a cool mask

molten flume

yeah badass mask doe

#

still 100 pulls didnt even give me wakamo

liek whyy my luck suck

dusky trail

that is why i only ever do 3 pulls on every banner, only do 5 if it is the banner i want

molten flume

i go ham on this full time

now i ran out of luck

dusky trail

and i probably just gonna do captain-verse gang for valentine

I'm here spending weeks to finish 1 piece and hr here finishing 2 in a day. How speedy are u? I can imagine your hands going at the speed of sound

Maybe because you have low mental focus

Get easily distracted

lusty hazel
#

holy shit thank you

lone wagon
onyx breach
#

:v

lone wagon
#

But i also don't do art everyday

#

Cuz work tires me out I'm not mentally ready for art

#

Even when i have the energy I still can't make art fast enough cuz I lose focus easily xD

#

Its awful

#

I got called out

onyx breach
#

When I play my Playlist I can go draw for several hrs straight only stopping to eat etc

lone wagon
#

Me too though that's the thing I draw for hours without eating hut within those hours I'd get randomly distracted

#

With like the music that's playing in the background I'd randomly dance around

#

Or I'd go to discord to check stuff and be like it'll only be for a bit but I end up being for hours

#

Or I'll have a convo in vc with someone while doing art and then I'd get distracted tlaking instead

#

I always have music in thr bg but half of the time I end up doing karaoke by myself and have a dance off by myself

#

And forget about the art that I was doing

#

Its like this when I play games too I'd be doing an important mission and it'll only take like 20 seconds for me to get distracted by grass

dusky trail
#

i usually just listen to music or drama CD while drawing

grave nymph
#

listening to podcasts or to music is great for concentrating in my case

dusky trail
#

and good thing cygame love to voiced all they dialogue so i can just let it autoplay while draw

onyx breach
#

But you're literally just listening to a language you don't understand. 😐

#

lone wagon
#

I tried playing BOTW and I totally forgot the main purpose of the game, I spent the entire time collecting horses

#

While the world was in chaos

dusky trail
#

though i'm the type can sing along while also drawing

lone wagon
#

I cant do both xD

#

My multitasking skills is like 3/10

#

The other day when I was drawing I was trying to build the pyramids with my sweets that I got to keep me going while drawing

#

I totally forgot about drawing for a bit

#

Ans another time I was just staring at my ceiling for ages and though to myself, wouldn't it be cool if I painted the ceiling with all my favourite characters so when i wake up it's the first thing I see

#

But then i was like nah that's too cringe

#

That's my kind of distracted, it's so random.

#

I also have a habit of getting out of my seat and just wandering around my room and then sitting back in the seat.

#

Especially when I'm in a good mood.

dusky trail
#

then i guess the only way for you to focus is to make you constantly suffer always in bad mood

lone wagon
#

Does anyone else do this or is it just me?

#

I hope its not just me cuz I'd feel like a weirdo that needs to be checked up.

lusty breach
lone wagon
#

For some reason I feel like i just got a giant needle thrown at me, idk if that was meant to help or not xD

lusty breach
#

I didnt mean it in q bad way SakuraDerp

#

I also get distracted a lot

lone wagon
#

Ik ik I was just joking, found it hilarious actually.

lusty breach
#

Especially when doing something alone

lone wagon
#

Yeah i need someone to tell me to get back into reality cuz I just doze off doing weird sht

lusty breach
#

Same XD

lone wagon
#

I purposely bought a pen with loads of bits I can fiddle around with cuz it helps me concentrate more at work.

#

I taught myself how to spin a pen around my hand in high school from my pure randomness of being distracted by weird sht

#

I csnt do proper pen flicking tricks though, it's not like that.

#

Like this but without the throwing of the pen and it's not this fast

#

All you need to do is get better at using fast strokes and your lineart time should also improve along with it

drowsy onyx
onyx breach
#

Practice fast strokes everytime you're holding a pen

dusky trail
#

well as long you have clear vision of what you want to do, it is not that slow

#

but of course, unless you are the type go through your draw again just to fix the tiny part sticking out even if no one else notice...

drowsy onyx

yeah ik still its painful

#

im a relatively fast artist

ig no more arguments

about anatomy and shit

jaunty python
#

honestly

#

it always ticked me off when they went on and on about how someone got anatomy wrong

#

but then they themselves don’t have the best understanding of anatomy either

#

aki did definitely improve over time but

#

they aren’t some master

#

they aren’t some god people should listen to even if they never asked for advice

#

but it’s in the past now

#

no use on dwelling on it

whole cloak
#

I agree but imo even the most masterful artist probably shouldn’t give critique if the artist didn’t ask for it

jaunty python
#

exactly

#

if they’re just drawing for fun then let em have fun

#

i like seeing people grow too, and i still have plenty to work on
i used to critique people even when they didn’t ask, but i stopped doing that a very long time ago

#

i know from experience how it feels to be receiving unwanted critique and giving unwanted to critique
it’s not pretty and feels so damn rude

#

my bad, not feels, it is rude

its the main reason as to why i dont really post a lot of art here eifjsbd

# grave nymph I just hope the minor adjustment isn’t the head

the adjustments would be to the body and eye. Draw a line following the tilt of the head and you'll see that the eyes are not aligned. You should also size down the left eye (our right). For the body use a reference because currently each part of the torso looks like it comes from various body types and sizes
