From my head
Kequ ;3
Small fanart Illustration i did recently
WOAH SHES SO NICE
ty
A late midnight drawing of mommy pronia :D
I don't wanna draw the eyes lmao
well Aponia often closed her eyes to pray, so just do that
Just wanted to show some of my elysia cosplay So far! I started making all the accessories, I still having a lot of things to do
Do you often make your own cosplays?
making cosplays looks so fun but difficult
Some times, I started making my Honkai cosplays because it’s very hard to find an store who sells them
Yea it’s very hard to make those details, but is very fun do work on it, it’s pretty satisfying when you finish everything
What materials do you use to make your stuff? I wanna get into it cuz all the sellers I've tried to find for my senti cos ended up ghosting me 
To make the clothes I usually use Crepe fabrics, the quality is very good and it’s not too expensive, they have a lot of colors.
I made my entirety aponia costume w this fabric, it’s very confy to wear too and easy do sew in the machine
Is it a brand?
Omg it looks so good 🙏🙏
Also what do u use to make props?
Like, weapons ?
Yes
I write wrong haha, it’s crepe fabric
Ohh
Haha noted 👍👍 I'll see if I can find it
For leather stuff would u recommend using real leather or faux leather?
I’m not too god at it, but I can help you
For sentis umm
Middle part (??)
Do u think fabric or a different material would be better
Real leather doesn’t dosenr Rip of
Fake leather you will need do hydrate constantly to don’t ruin
Oh that's good to know
Ill probably go for real leather then 🦖 even if it's more expensive..
You can do the belt you can use gold leather, it’s have an specific name but idk in English
For the other accessories you can make w EVA and paint it
I like to use contact paper, but painting is more easy
Ok 👍👍👍 tysm 🙏 can i ping you if I'm ever confused?
Sure!! I will be happy to help you
I am good at crafts and I can sew pretty well but I can't be bothered with making them, so much hard work and i already paint I don't need more work for me to do.
ive never rly crafted but i use to handsew my cosplays
then i got a sewing machine and got intimitaded.. so i fell out of sewing
when i think abt it thats rly dumb 
I was like that in the begging, the sound scared me haha
But when you get the line, it’s pretty easy to sew everything
The hard part is the pattern of the clothes
well, you draw without guide line so his chin is too pointy in one place
and since the pointy part almost line up with the nose and mouth, it actually turn into a pointy chin
Left side cheeks angle is more right?
just draw a light circle with a + in the middle so you have a guide line
as long you didn't press the pen too hard, you can erase the line later
it don't have to be ultra thin light, if you have any normal round head pencil, you can just lightly press on the paper for it
Elysia shirt progress
that red mark on your hand kinda looks like a used command seal from Fate
It’s an cat, it’s an false tattoo
I am the master of the servant kitty class
Monster thingy i drew
⚡You should motivate yourself.. Now! ⚡
How aesthetic.
When i show my drawing I'm just like
Ywah look I finished now
With typos and everything most of the time
Strap a nuclear reactor to the herrscher of thunder, trust me it’s a good idea
Sure and I'll make sure to have you right next to her.
the nose is a bit off but the chin seem fine now
????
Sorry for ping
If it distributed u
could use better line for the hair
because it is so blurry yet the eyes and face has thick line, it can feel off
I dont get it tbh
just make the hair line a bit thicker
well i gonna go take my nap now so ask other to help out
Do you study anatomy? I'm asking because it usually involves creating rough guides so you know where to roughly place everything before drawing the characters.
jajajjajaja
Some progress on my elysia cosplay :>
i feel like the digital versions better tho 😔

Hmm
How?
I see
💀
very nice
so you are ripping off yourself, how could you

I remember you posting that too, you made slight changes? I don't see any huge difference what did you change?
Idk u guess it
A very talented friend of mine covered Regression after I requested him, and it's fucking amazing
auuaaa
Well sorry if i had lie about that coz idk what i got in my mind that time but I actually wanted to make something for u guys
There
Idk how it really is but whatever i did what I could for u guys
Hmm
dont mind the hand shadow
Awhh cute
Low ass self esteem makin me wanna q U i T art is hard
Made those like months ago
when add and overlay doesnt really work
Divide:
I AM DYINNN
touhou x uma musume 🤔
Seeing all these cosplays makes me want to do one so much
It would be if they had male characters and unless u are fem
Coz this whole game is solely dependent on female characters
the boyz
APHO and ER bring a few male chars for you to use anyway
specially Kalpa is quite popular to cosplay
Yes I'm a female
what a twist
U knew this shik! I thought u knew this?
i only knew Hanami is a female
Or did u not realised that I'm Hanami yet?
Whaat
You're hanami!??
another twist
Yeshh
Genderbend is always an option haha

Cross-dressing is another 
then why not both, gender swap the female character then cosplay that
I think only delay figured it out that I was Hanami xD
well i won't stalk your hoyolab if i can't tell who that is
Two options bring a third one haha
Idk if i would suit cosplaying a male character
mehh want to draw the cat girl from ZZZ but she didn't get to have poster like other 3 huh?
those 3 got like a few official arts already
but they never include the cat girl
even though she suppose to be part of they gang too
sad cat girl's noise

I didn't even know they had a cat girl
=3=
But she looks more like a fox than a car
Need to see the tail to see which but the ears are fox like

Welcome to New Eridu!
-----------------------------------...
well for the good few screentime she has
she did include "nya" whenever she speak
but ya, it just easier to see the detail of they outfit in 2D art than try to look at it in the 3D model
but sadly only those 3 get official art right now
It would be sad if they decided to not keep her at all and bin her
nah, probably just the "unlock later" type of chars
I love a little bit of nya every now and then
while those 3 got to show up first for tutorial
Sad... Just like ayaka then?
though, you rarely see char with a lot of moles like the pink hair girl
she has one near her left eye then boob then thigh
you usually only see char with one mole
well, i don't draw that kind of cheeky face character that often so may as well have some fun with that
She has moles?
Haven't looked at her closely yet
Didn't realised she has a mole at all
Its only 3 I see
well she just stole the mole from Himeko and Rita anyway
Himeko has mole on her boob while Rita on the side of her eye
i didnt know pardo had a mole until the therapy room
and that new genshin character with the two moles under their eyes
Damn gender bending and cross dressing are for bold people
not that much, it is quite common thing in cosplay
though it depend on the outfit i guess
since i just remember Shimakaze is also famous for that kind of cosplay...
sailor moon also weirdly popular for guy to cosplay for fun
I mean if u wanna do it u will need some will power and not me shy or not focusing on what people will say
Coz today’s society is like literally
Shit
If u also know
So it does take courage
well~ that about the same with any creative content
like that one time when i have a complain from "a father with 2 daughters" because my art is lewd
Made characters from naruto then JJK made kiana n HOF from MHA too done ghost rider
I need some
Good character to draw
N now also made SU and yae sakura of honkai
Hello!
I made my first honkai Fanart, even if it's mostly redraw of the characters' pose-
It took me around 2h i think, with a criterion only
They were so hard to draw-
Its cool even better then what i made of kiana of HOT
Not gonna lie but that is actually good then this
Just eden’s face is little more round from chin side

Don't compare your art like that, what you did is nice!
It still needs to be improved, sure, but I'm sure you can do it with time and practice
If I can ask, when did you start drawing?
Hmm it was like when i was 8-9yrs old
It was just some cartoon drawings ukk
Some shitty types
Then lost interest till last year I started it again
I aint comparing its just straight facts
If u know how to do shading then its all ur win
Coz shading makes it more attractive
If its all good and set
I remember this very wwll.
But dat dude really is a daring guy
Ooh right
Well, it's true that shading looks nice but line art alone, or sketch, is also pretty
To walk with cosplays costumes
I mean when you're near or at a convention its not really that bold
Idk if he was at a convention though xD
N dats how u kill chat
Something within limits bro
I did that on purpose
Knowing you'd say that
Hmm i see
Its good to practise colour when u can
oo i just realized this is azur-
U actually attempted the first one? I sent it purely as a joke because I knew it was really hard.
It takes someone who has a really good grasp on anatomy and perspective to draw the pose well.
Its really good that you tried though, how did you find it?
Wdym how did u find it
Its all messed up
Just like in surgery rather then cutting appendix u cut of kidney or pancreas
I sometimes push myself to try to dk soemthing harder than what I can do so I can analyse my weaknesses.
that questions is me asking how you felt about it.
I'm sorry... I didn't think that you'd try it that's why I sent the 2nd one
Pweasse no quits art
whatsup with the self-deprecating? are you trying to pull a reverse psychology on us so that we'll say the drawing was good? 🤔
do yall know why sometimes when i use this pen it should normally make a line but instead does this weird thing?
how its supposed to look
ya that's like- a driver issue i think
i've had that before i just restart driver and/or csp
*restart is an umbrella term for both actually restarting driver or just unplugging and replugging the tablet back in
i drew a skeleton:)
dont mind the hand tho idk what to do with it...
idk i think this is better lol
aww cute
I finished a thing also good morning from my side https://twitter.com/AzJames34/status/1530729561490870272
now i sudden imagine her cosplaying ace attorney
Phoeschl Wright Ace Attorney
Happened to me before also I just restarted my pc and it fixed itself.
Reminds me of this unique artists work thag I sent here in the past. They love drawing skeletons.
Well tbh idfc about praising my sketch
Something feels wrong. Any critiques?
Lmao I never told i quit making sketch
Dw
finally its done
Shes very angry what did they do?
the caption is hidden but basically shes scolding them and warning that if they keep on doing stuff, they'll end up in hell
Oh hell yeah 💀 got himself a girlfriend
the arm look deflated, you may want to make the sleeve bigger
Now better? I also feel like left arm looks weird
if you mean the shoulder of the left arm then the problem would be more on the back side
you have too much of the back so the left shoulder look rather dislocated
What do you use to draw this?
So I should make back seem less?
Phone
yes, cut down on the back
Gotcha, thank you
well try to draw a line from the back of the neck down
if the back is too far from it, then that person gonna have a really bad back pain

Is this in sketch phase or lineart phase?
Trying to get a lineart
Do you use ibis paint?
Yep
The back of the head is more like an oval shape. Are you drawing Shinobu?
Becausw of her hairstyle u can see more of the oval shape.
I don't think you're drawing Shinobu but thr hairstyle is similar.
The human head is very curved
You see more of the curve when thr hair is tied back.
I'm trying to 

Hmm could you draw roughly what you mean
Oh so you are? I thought the dot near her nose was a mole and i didnt remember Shinobu having a mole
Meant to nose xd
I'm at work rn not at my pc so I can't
I didn't study anatomy just looked at some references and mixed them with Shinobu's head so i didn't get how can i fix it
The cat ears also don't usually sit on the head like that from that angle.
So the left ear should look the other side
B e a n s
You should focus on the shape of the back of the head first though before u add the ears. Don't focus on trying to make it look neat straight off the bat when you work with wanting to fix anatomy. Its good to sketch before you do lineart so u can understand these things better. You can focus on lineart after these things are fixed.
There's usually at least 3 stages. The 1st step is usually the plotting the shapes down roughly and getting the pose u want, the 2nd stage is the proper sketch where you start to fix the anatomy and add the details and the last stage is the lineart.
Some people even do 4 stages
Okay, I will try these
hi bye
Actually i did sketch but when i felt like it's not bad for me skipped to lineart
I appreciate your help 
Its usually also recommended that when you sketch and even lineart you use a pen with pen pressure.
I asked whether you used a mouse or a phone for this purpose. Since u use a phone and use ibis there should be pens there that has pen pressure if i remember correctly if not u can also use a brush but Lower the opacity
I wanted to make thick lines for this but might try that next time
Like an emote or chibi art? I also thought you might have those intentions but even chibi art and emotes uses pens that have pen pressure.
Opinions? 
Hmm idk, it just seemed easier this way
I ussually do chibi art so yolo'ed with no refrence 
You can see some lines are thick mostly but some lines are also thinner. This usually gives more depth and personality.
ayo
Oh thin and thick lines looks great yeah
I will try that next time for sure
Yeah if you can combine them they make the lines look less blocky
They flow better in general
It can get a little bit confusing though. Since you usually put the darker lines in specific areas but i won't go there for u.
Information overload is not good.
I will just sprinkle them randomly, don't worry
once you know where to put thin and thick lines it just flows naturally to your muscle memory
Yeah just remember to do everything step by step, done rush it, have a routine. You'll be able to understand things better quicker when you do.

🤔 im never a fan of thick lines, i prefer using thin lines in my drawing but thats probably because its colored, if its a black and white illustration like this, thick n thin lines combo shines more coz you wont be distracted by colors
Yeah if you want to do more detailed art thin lines are better, but if you want less complicated colouring thicker lines are better.
Some done even limeart at all. They go straight to colouring after the sketch.
It gives the painty effect.
Like this. This person probably never did a lineart
This person probably used very thin lineart or even non at all.
Whereas this rely heavily on lineart.
Im not sure how im supposed to draw thick and thin lines on mobile without a stylus without looking like donkey shit but ill try.
Connected that is
I forgot how to use ibis. But even without pen pressure u can create good lines.
Usually the trick is to do quick lines
Awful example but its clear enough.
Is headshape better now? (also added her butterfly clasp cus why not
)
Looks better but the back is a little pointy where the clip is

Okay relaxed it a bit 
That's better

The title for this video is "what are the rules for drawing beautiful lines???"
I this might be better than the other video that talks mainly about thicker and thinner lines
All his videos have English subs
Saved
If anything doesnt look super off, i'll start lineart and fix little things
Hmm okay, I will try multiple mouths after finished lineart
Okay. I'm going back to work now
Thank you SO much for help 
oh and you probably don't want to have to put too many... wrinkle? on the hoodie
you use too many curve it it so it rather bloated
it is fine to just give it a more smooth surface and only add the wrinkle near the join
Okay gotcha
i dont get how ppl are having a problem doing the lineart, youre literally just tracing your sketch then adding thick or thin lines along the way if you fancy that
People forget to do the actual sketch.
Some people can fix things as they draw the lineart but that skill is developed in the intermediate to pro stages of art. Most people either just go straight to lineart or they go from
This to lineart immediately after they've done this.
There's nothing wrong with going from this immediately to lineart but you need a lot of experience to do it right.
But when you're still a beginner and go from this and immediately to lineart it makes lineart look very difficult. People start to overthink the process, and it becomes a tedious thing.
There are at least 2/3 stages before lineart but most just do 1 when they're starting art.
to me i just feel like the lineart is too plain so i've started to add some sketchy variation
There's different types of styles of lineart but it doesn't explain why a lot of peopel struggle with it.
When you're at a stage where you prefer a certain type of lineart over the other is when you're beginning to understand lineart better. I think delay meant those who completely have no clue what they want with their lineart and really find lineart hard to do.
also depend on how people do sketch i guess
she took me 3 hours omgggggggg 😭
Hmm yeah its worth it
Sigh sometimes it feels like I aint making sketches which are even worth it to do
I will just leave it like that
my current painting skills would make it a lot worse

is that ecclesia? 
i rarely draw gyaru type so this is somewhat nice
yepp
i'm a huuuge ecclesia fan c:
in the back ground is albaz. i chose the mirror jade form so i can have an excuse to add more colder/cool colors onto my canvas thuse balancing out the warm/cold colors
i love it dogmatika is my favorite archetype
i wanna draw ecclesia too at some point

pain
Hello, guess this is best here. Im looking for Elysia’s Pri-Arm Bow’s 3D Model, Whisper of Sonnet, if anybody has come across one. Mihoyo used to provide the Valks weapons models in with their character MMDs, but it doesnt seem like they have been of recent times.
yoimiya done 👍

I killed her
Why?
That's delay's speciality
The corpse
Hes always painting different kind of corpses
Smh you guys need to pay attention!
There needs no explanation, it's just delay. That's the explanation.
Where can I buy myself a person to wear? Runway fashion really is something special.
The art industry is in shambles
shes sleeping
idk if this counts as art but y'all know the "blank is gaming" edits where they put a character n give them an headset
anyone know if this exists for HoS or durandal
No i meant why borty killed her
Nvm I misunderstood
Doesn't look like a comfortable sleeping position.
😏
finished another one, jeez its just grass day today for me O.o"
no armpit
unfortunately 😢
that is still a rather normal side of pixiv
Artists have been fucking weirdos throughout history, it's expected xD
Our imagination is just... To wide
whenever my stuff got in popular ranking on pixiv, it always surrounded with the weirdest thing ever...
I'm an artist, we're always depressed
especially honkai got over 75% cursed stuff since the bunny scandal
only if you stay in the weird side, after all pixiv does have a lot of fun one
specially their theme one
Jokes aside I need a pixiv acc if I wanna get anywhere with my anime art
Just like I probably have to eventually make myself a twitard acc
but if you want to enjoy honkai ewds youre damned to be lost
like this thing
Some are real aesthetic with their art. They give a cool name to their piece and the description is always so sparkles. I could never imagine myself doing that.
how i said normal pics are fine but if you search ewds you cant get happy if you are vanilla
I'd just be like "yeah a fanart, enjoy"
i can't even come up with title much less write description
my titles for my art are just
"yea"
I don't have the time and energy for that sht xD
just be like me and write "here's my weekly tweet lmao enjoy ig"
"i'll go and die for another month cya"
some descriptions of those cursed art are really disgusting, godless and misanthropic, it really makes you doubt everything
"if I don't respond in a month, you know what happened"
"intense screech"
Tbh most of the time I don't even wright anything, just the title. Most of my writing is through trying to find loads of tags
just put a random emoji
i honestly like these captions more than aesthetic ones
it makes me laugh and it's good art too
Let's be honest, when people write these aesthetic descriptions, does anyone actually read them?
this is a title for one of my art pieces lol
a lot of my titles are "woo" "ye" "uh"
im one of those people who like to look at the comments so i do read the aesthetic descriptions i'm just not a fan of them
it's cool when it's part of the art though
Yeah they reslly pour their soul into it.
I feel bad when I do that but I just withe rget distracted easily or get bored easily.
I cant even be bothered to type or correct my own typos.
Ticked so many people off in the past on accident because of my bad typing.
im so weak at background, i should prioritized it better
lol
tbf when it's aesthetic like this i actually look at it
like the caption is part of the piece and i find that really cool
I used to do text art actually in my amino life as a young teen xD
I liked them too, they look good and require no writing
Haven't seen someone do that though with their art and text art, looks fun
It’s been 3+ months since I’ve even picked up a pen to draw
any critiques for this doodle
Your writing is beautiful

Thank you 
if you lookin for critiques post it elsewhere smhsmh
cuz this really good

thanks a lot jaijwsijiwje I’m kinda worried that I lost my skills after not drawing for so long
We actually as a whole probably critique more here than compliment. Well the older peeps of this channel.
I don't personally like to give critiques as much because I'm too lazy, unless I'm bored.
well, if you want critiques then her right eye is rather close to the nose in compare to her left
It’s a 3/4 face so it works that way kinda like what’s it your pfp actually
well mine lean more on the side while your still rather in the middle
I’ll look into it then thanks 
well the hair volume on one side also a way to show the face is more side way
and it mainly this spot right here just doesn't help with the side view i guess
Aponia wip
Yo bro. I hope im not too late but...
Light bounces here aswell
The right eye is also not at the same line as the left one
Probably in the rotation placement of the eye ...
The right eye is positioned a bit higher than the left one
i would say it depends on his intended light placement whether light will hit that spot. if he places it a bit to the front then that spot shud def hav light, but for now i see it as him placing it more towards the side
Should i scrap it
No
I only judged it from how light actually behaves on the face. Not on what they prefer
I judged it on where the light is coming from and how it will bounce
yeah even the way he painted it indicates it's more towards the side
If that is the case then only a quarter of the side should be hit
shud be something like this
Since it hits half of the face that part should be affected too
That head is in a different position
His is 3/4
even if i do it as 3/4, if the light adjust along with it
Depends on the light source
should still be the same, it's also not full 3/4
of course the light is not split evenly in half, but can see it slowly fades away, but for stylize lighting it's also an option to just not have the gradient
I guess it really is just where the source of light is coming from
yeah, though it's defintely better to see that triangle shape light in that spot
but im just saying it wont be always there
this one is the one you're probably refering to, kinda top front
In the art it does not really say where the source of light is
i assume it's more towards side because he didnt put light in the other top half of the hair
I based mine off the position of the head
Rather than how they made light behave
Oh wait.
Hold on
What's confusing me is the actual point of view and position of the head (kinda)
well, it's slight leaning towards 3/4 but not full 3/4
done with this comm
Here’s an explanation if you’re confused 😂
yeah, it is turning a bit and not full front view
see~ that line there would make her look more like side way
sup?
Fixed up the pose gonna start lineart now probably
that headband probably gonna tickle the heck out of her ears
Its yor I can't not put her signature rose on the side of her head
just stab it inside her ear
Shed stab it inside my ears before I could even blink if I tried
but. the right eye of the character is slightly higher than the left one
It’s…supposed to work like that
If it is. Then the eyes have a slightly different perspective than the rest of the head
The perspective of the eyes are tilted upwards where is the head is directed at us
I don’t even know anymore
I could make a sketch to show you...
If that can help
Sure please do
No I mean it literally works like that (not my art)
the eyes on this art is. That the right eye is fully opened where is the left on is a bit closed
Are you guys still arguing about the eyes?
the eyes on your art are both fully opened but tilted upwards
the right side is slightly tilted upwards
here is the skull
how could you suggest such a horror thing, Suzu
Is that my new nickname?
I already flipped the canvas several times it’s not that bad
bye bye
dince im on my pc already made it slightly bigger
so u can tell the difference
And it works both ways
the PV gave a good amount of scene for oni girl so guess i will give her a go
Why not
because the thing with the only reference source you can get from a PV is it may limit the amount of reference you can get
have 2D art also good too, since it show you better detail than the 3D model
sadly, only 3 chars with official art right now
Its so annoying when you think you're done with the sketch but you spot something off xD
even better, you only notice it after you done posted the thing
Yeah
but well, after you work on it for hours, it is quite easy to let your guard down after you thought you are done
Final attempt, even if i spot a mistake i'll just not do this again. xD will fix in the lineart
Will probably make a pixiv after this piece
Its very hot
The right arm is slightly bugging me tho
But its very very kewl

I forgot to put on eyebrows again
🤔
I couldn't be bothered much with the lineart
I forgot TK paint one side of her shoulder dammit
done... this time 100%
Hot 
trying
I thought it was griseo
I think its seele in one of her outfits
It clearly says “Seelie drawing”
well the art is side way after all, so naturally you would try to tilt your head to look at it first and not notice the white fond
Hi guys need help
During this stage is there any need for forshortening on the shoulders or they are the same length?
wip mei
This is my first time drawing something in this style and I'm nowhere near done yet (it's supposed to be miku)
ahh~ it always so hard to draw character when you barely have enough reference for the outfit yet
can always just copy fanarts
and that often lead to thing like Yelan's fanart
everyone just draw her raise her arm and show her armpits
even though there are more way to show armpit than that
so look at all that just give me no motivation to draw Yelan at all
well at least now that she is out, there are more variant with her, though most still just copy the way she goes in the trailer
but anyway, that is why i only depend on official art for reference
3 hours in, nowhere near done 😵💫
Lmao
Colouring
They dont have to be accurate.
but i want to~~
part of the reason i like the character is the clothe after all, so i just want to get a good grasp of it
Up to you. Personally sometimes I like it when people slightly change it to make it fit their style or to just make up a new outfit entirely bwcause of a special occasion like crhsitmss or Halloween or even just going to the beach.
Its not official art, its fanart so its allowed to be whatever you want it to be. As long as u can tell its that character it doesn't really matter.
some outfit just too fun to not draw properly after all
saved up my money and got a wacom 😈
I also don't like it when everyone copies each other and won't make anything different
Like it gives off the same vibes
stuff like that often turn me off from draw the character sometime
Like for aponia everyone does her freaking praying
Like her hands aren't super glued together
need more "lap pillow" Aponia
99% of people does aponia praying
And for yor the character I'm drawing, they always show her bloodied with the same outfit looking like she bout to murder
There's hardly any other versions of her
Shes not a cold bloodied character
People who never watch the anime and look at ehr fanart gonna think she's a physco who kills peppple for fun
That's why I tried to make my yor that I'm doing cute and innocent
well some people often jump in the character hype but before they release, there only so many reference you can use so most people just use the same thing over and over
or if there a scene with more "impact" like this
wacom one by wacom s
i think i finished it idk maybe ill render but since i havent bought csp theres not point in putting effort and cant save a high quality version of it
Yelan fanart pose creativity just jumped in the window while shouting they'll just buy milk
at least now that she actually out, there are more variant for Yelan
though there are still a good amount of people just draw her being fabulous like her trailer
The thing is that even if its just the splash art, there are other preferences and poses that you can do. People often just take references from other art of same character so they end up looking identical xD there are so many different types of references out there but people just take the easy route.
Like this, I can easily image griseo or liliya in this pose.
Rita or seele in this
well, it mainly the problem with the unique outfit
like the girl with the scythe there, you do need to know how that tattoo of her look to cosplay properly
The girl with the scythe is not a cosplay I think its a figurine
There are plenty of interesting poses where it just shows the front
People just choose the easy options by looking at what others have done and try to do something similar instesd if going out to look for something else that's more interesting.
That's why it all looks the same
I don't blame them though, it can be difficult to search for good references, and it's also quite difficult to take a real life reference and turn it into a cartoon or an anime.
Not only that but you have to think about the pose as if there was no clothes and then add the clothes on afterwards and if the reference you're using have a lot of fabric it can be hard to see the figure
too much fabric can be confusing to try figure out how it work
or those wearing jacket so you can't tell the inner clothe unless they have character sheet like this
Its not gonna be hard if you practise
well it is more like fantasy type outfit sometime have a rather "creative" design for you to tell which part is which
With the yor piece I did i didnt come up with the pose or the outfit what I did was I found a cosplayers and transformed her into anime xD obviously I never traced or anything I tried to pose out over and over until it resembles it.
Wanted to practise turning real life into anime
This was the reference
My yor
and that remind me of some cosplay use photoshop and cause their eyes to look super weird
The chance of you finding another yor like this is rare unless they decided to use the same cosplay selfie D
if you want to find hot one, then just simple search for 2B
her cosplay can get a lot of creative one too
I don't do lewd art
If you can master turning real life into anime then boom you can do original art that others haven't done
Of the character that you were drawing
Well the chances are lowered anyways
well when i use reference, i usually change so much that it barely look like the base pose anyway
I change if I feel it doesn't match the character
Like this if I wanted this to be griseo I would get rid of the Teddy and have her left arm come out with a paintbrush to make it look like she's painting
It would be a really nice perspective
And the floor can be full of paper or canvases
and if i use that reference for her
i probably just have her slowly pull the bunny ears to different side
Yeha that's another way. You can sue other anime art as reference for another different character
There are so many different things you can do
And different ways to find references
To make your art different and doesn't look like it suffers from looking the same syndrome
This image you could probably use for characters liek fu hua, HOV, HOF. For genshin character probably characters like Klee
The flames can be turned unto a dragon
So maybe even venti
well you just have to look at meme art for that
since people often just trace the funny scene then swap character out
You know what i mean
done with line art
Looks cool, I really like it
speaking of which
she mostly show the right side of the headphone in her official art so i thought it is the same on both side
but then the new official art pop up and show it is differen on the left side...
Ahaha twitter is going MAD about this fanart
ah ya, the cat girl's skin tone thing
I have lots of pics of it. Its hilarious
it almost like they think artist has to use the exact skin color of the character
any brighter is a no no
Yep
in a fun note, Carole also have official art with her skin tone lighter
Btw... aren't the eyes too close together?
Or is it just your artstyle
yes, they are close together
and it just a place holder kind of eyes
i messing around with the eye variant right now
Ah, I see I see ...
I made an update of my robot but... i dont hab a picture of it, its on my laptop and its super late already
i usually leave the face for last so i can mess around with it
I also dont rly have a skill for eyes
but anyway, when Carole's one come out, everyone just too busy have problem with the launcher itself to care
Or... they wanna stay away from drama
well it also have the benefit of people have the game to play
while ZZZ is still in prepare stage so all they have is the picture and trailer to latch on
and you know how people can overanalyze thing when they only have so little information
Yep. Cant rly blame them for the skin tone
like back when Genshin try to push the theory of Yae and Mei gonna be in Genshin
just because they found the name are similar
Well.. they were right
Man... sorry for the pings
well more like they want to be exactly the character from Honkai~ not just a look alike
some people just want to see they fav character from other series to be in there too i guess
Btw is it just me? Or does yelan look kinda like seele
I still see the seele tho...
Seele is too pure to have such mean look
aggree
and well, her hair are more round shape anyway
so beside the color, they barely have anything similar
ehem... as I was saying she looks like older seele
With altered personality
The colors are similar too
Maybe its just the hair that reminds me of her
hmm
OMG YEAH
Even when someone hurts bronya?
that is what other Seele for
This looks cool
Still her face, just the personlity is different
i finished the pyro yaksha i am so sadisfied about this
Ooooo
btw whats the relationship between them???
Youve never played honkai?
I'm genuinely surprised by the amount of people on the honkai discord server that's never even touched honkai xD
ive been playing honkai for like 5 months but i didnt pay attention to the lore
i fr didnt read any
i came there bc i am addicted to gambling
but i juts know the two of em has a speacial relationship, like gf's???
im not sure XD
well you know what yata always say
lol
ohhh
i see
i am very sorry for not reading the lore i will go reread all the lore so i wont anyone anymore
Its alright if you dont. Just have fun bro
That is the point of games
especially with some luxus clothes and fur
dw beside it'll be more fun discussing with you guys
Btw i dont rly suggest going to #📚honkai-lore (unless you have questions) cause it would only confuse you more
i should watch like a hour long video about some dude explaining the lore
Drawing Edelgard from Fire Emblem
æ
was inspired by the game soundtrack to make something myself :3
(this was made by me if that wasnt clear)
took a hiatus from this for a good week, but it's finished!
achilles
no I'm not gonna finish the hair
Holy based lmao
What wing? I don't see any wings
the armor on the left
Guys... I need help with choosing the base color ...
art is difficult 
what do you mean? isnt it just based on your taste or how you want it to be?
True but... mine feels bland
up the saturation, and shift it to a bit more redish, right now it's leaning towards greenish
I see i see

at least if you want it to be skin color
can also do something like this
do take note background also affects your perception of color
is fine, everyone starts at somewhere
Yeah...
good luck !!
i thought you drew it on paper 😮
Idk what but something about the legs is bothering me
i would say anything beside the legs are more weird
Sorry i dont get what u mean could u explain?
well the head is bigger than the body
the torso is rather short so she barely have any waist at all
Okay ill try to make her Torso bigger then thanks, i think the head looks a bit big is bc of the camera angle tho
This type of camera angle shouldnt be able make the head appear big
If you're wondering abt the legs, the upper leg is shorter than the lower leg. But all in all, the proportions of the various parts are kinda off.
too lazy to do da lineart
plz help
done with the values
lessen the lines on the hair.. it makes it easier to do the lineart and it makes it look cleaner
I found some old art I did
Just some lineart I did, ill ask for lighting critics soon
But I do wanna ask if there's something I should add/something wrong with the lineart or anything here before I start coloring
Personally I think you should do another sketch on top. You can not really see what's what and I think you can't really either because the eyes are a lot higher on the face in the digital version than the traditional, well tbh it's more like the face is a lot longer and it's squares.
If you're finding lineart hard, and a chore, then your sketch isn't clear enough for you to understand what's going on.
Really cute! You understand lineart well. There's nothing wrong with it to what I can see.

Opinions? 
Drawing on a phone has probbaly been the reason my life expectancy would decrease by 40 years 
Im drawing on phone too 🥴 its so annoying lol
Drawing for himekos bday and now I'm crying like a lil bitch
Mee too
I've been alright with drawing on phones and when I actually bought a tablet I couldn't draw for the hell out of me

I've been only using my tablet for tracing practice and I've still havent properly use my tablet
Here have some pattas


And thanks for himeko art
Why can i draw heads somehow
is she raising her legs?
like so?
I think so
I sorta need help on lighting (again) because I wanna practice and understand it more
Someone recommended that I put reflective light on her but I have no idea how it works 
the light source is on top of her head?
Yes on top of her head
then the highlight would just form a circle on the top of her head
could use stronger shade under her bang too
with that kind of light source then the shadow would down to her nose
the neck to collarbone would also need darker shade at those area would be covered by her head and hair
I see, anything else? 
So I should just straighten it? I think?
well just do it like her left hand
By any chance, does anyone here have any understanding on how reflective light works 
I dont know much about how to apply lighting but....
Since the fingers are exposed to the light source you need to apply more lighting on top of it
The sideskirts of her ?headdress? Needs ligting on the front cause its still exposed
Oh, youre right now that I see it
Thank you
The ulna of the wrist is not shaped correctly and the part of the wrist which are underneath the hands (flexor carpiradials I think?) Are too inflated
@fallow thicket ^
I believe these only apply on her right arm (the characters pov)
The ulna of the left hand is still positioned too high tho
I hope these helped my guy...
I have no idea how muscles/bones work or what these terms are but ill sesrch them up
Thank you anyways I always appreciate help

I suggest using real life body references
It really helps
dont do bounce light when you are new
if you're having trouble calculating normal lighting, adding bounce light will make it even more complicated
but if you really want to do bounce light, finish the top down lighting first, then you add bounce light
i cant believe this is how I draw hands lmao
Anyways fuck the hands
looks great so far
this should be a good top down lighting ref
@fallow thicket basically light bouncing happens because of the reflection of light from objects
objects with the color black do not bounce light
what do you mean by this
sorry. had to be specific with this one
hmm
