[fast spindle]

Here?

Same as brushes

[lone wagon]

I don't like using tools that are too technical

Prefer ones that are simple to understand xD

[prime spoke]

#honkai-art-gallery hasn't been touched since the 90s

And #honkai-meme-gallery aswell

[blazing anchor]

I got some good stuff for my senti ! So I’m drawing her haha, any criticism is welcomed!

[lime kraken]

Anyone got FR references?

[dusky trail]

the thing with her legs seem to be various though

in that official launcher art, it looks like it just on top of the legs

while in the model and event's CGI, it looks like a tattoo

[lime kraken]

Thanks

[craggy smelt]

Ayo short hair senti is hot

[lone wagon]

I think I've stopped playing honkai now, been months since I've touched it.

Too busy simping manwha characters. A lot of spiciness goes on. I'm having a new phase. God help me.

Has that painter loli come out yet? Keep seeing her on youtube

[dusty lotus]

She has, there's an event rn and she's in SP supply I believe

[grave nymph]

slowly but surely progressing

hands are bad yes.

[lone wagon]

The one holding the handle isn't too bad

[dusty lotus]

Oooo it looks pretty good :>

[grave nymph]

yeah the fingers are just

urk

dies

[lone wagon]

I think the eyes are a little bit too high on her face though, by about 4cm

[grave nymph]

yeah

if you zoom in a bit

you can see that I lasso'd and moved it w

guess it's not low enough huh w

[lone wagon]

I don't need to zoom, u can tell that because u out liens on her cheeks but they're moved

[grave nymph]

:"D

[dusty lotus]

Agreed

[grave nymph]

too bad I drew this all in a single layer

[dusty lotus]

But you're doing a great job tho, keep it up

[grave nymph]

:"D

[lone wagon]

You've improved for sure. I need to draw, but I've been holed up reading.

[grave nymph]

SAME

[lone wagon]

Haven't done one in weeks

[grave nymph]

I've been rereading a novel series

for the past few days

[lone wagon]

I'm scared I'm gonna lose my touch but I csnt help it

[grave nymph]

right?

[lone wagon]

I've been reading the dark romance, villainess types manwhas lately

[grave nymph]

is this enough?

[dusty lotus]

I think maybe even a bit lower

[lone wagon]

If you can tell from my pfp. Up to date on your throne within a day.

[dusty lotus]

I need more of this in my life tbh i've been working all the time lmao

[lone wagon]

I'm working too

Reading them on my days off where I should be doing art

[dusty lotus]

:""

Don't worry about losing your touch with art tho, I find that sometimes when you come back after a break you actually perform way better

You as in anyone obv

[lone wagon]

Wdym?

[dusty lotus]

Like, sometimes when you take a long break from drawing because of other things happening in your life, when you start drawing at it you have way better results

It might just be cause you're letting your brain rest for a while

[grave nymph]

Ah yes

[lone wagon]

Oh I've had that happen before.

[grave nymph]

passive exp

[dusty lotus]

Sorry for my grammar, i'm still half asleep 💀

[lone wagon]

I think i did some practise last week and I suddenly wasn't struggling as much but tbh I'm still awful at colouring, just I've gotten quicker with sketches

I gave up on my yor fanart since I wasn't liking it

[dusty lotus]

Ohhh well getting quick with sketches is still a really good skill to have

I'm slow asf for some reason and it really bothers me

[bronze dagger]

Maybe you can try again in the future when you think you are more capable

[lone wagon]

I'm still slow, just improved a littlr on my speed. Atm colouring Is of huge concern.

[dusty lotus]

Do you need any coloring tips?

I got nothing to do rn

[lone wagon]

It looked good to me when it was liensrt

[dusty lotus]

Oh that actually does look really good, did you mirror the eyes tho?

[lone wagon]

But i hates the colouring

I thought it looked good but then i hated it the next day

[dusty lotus]

Hmmm

What don't you like about it?

I think the colors are pretty nice tbh, the only thing I think needs a little work is lineart since it doesn't really blend in a lot near the folds of the clothes

[lone wagon]

I don't think my style of colouring match my neat lineart. I am used to roughly colouring so it takes a lot of tries for it to be neat

And i end up messing up my liensrt in the end anyways so I feel it is useless to even do a liensrt

But im not confident enough to colour after a sketch either

And my colours are always never as saturated as I want, it just missing a lot of things like it's too mild. There's no glow

I tried to add glow with the yor but it just wasn't right for me so I gave up

Maybe I'm trying too hard

Also I hate the eyes.

I want it to be simple like this but it for some reason looks dull when I try

[dusty lotus]

I see what you're talking about, I think that honestly this is an issue for a lot of artists and it may not sound like it but changing the color of the lineart (maybe even putting different colors in different areas) really helps a lot with that

Let me take a closer look so I can give you some actual advice maybe

The main reason it might not look as "simple" as those comics is because those actually use mostly cell shading, which creates a more minimalistic vibe and makes details in the lineart of the eyes more noticeable. Also, they fill in the eyelashes with lineart instead of coloring them in

Your colors blend a lot which is really good when painting but maybe not as much when you're trying to achieve that specific result you're looking for

[lone wagon]

Yeah i have a very much painter style. I don't use much tools xD like 3 tools at most

[dusty lotus]

Mhm, same here

Although you are better than me at picking unsaturated colors haha, when I started painting I really liked saturated styles and so I never really learned how to do anything else

Right now I'm working to fix that xd

[lone wagon]

This is mroe painter but they've somehow managed to do simple at the same time

I cant simple

[dusty lotus]

Either way I know you may not like their style but if you wanna find out how to do cell shadinf properly take a look at par0llel's art, she uses a lot of tricks with gradiants and stuff

And her art uses mostly cell shading

[dusty lotus]

That looks epic ngl

Fuck I realize how limited I am because of saturated colors when I look at things like these xd

[lone wagon]

I love this

Thr eyes are so simple they didn't do much with it

Their colouring is over all simple but it looks complex because of the grains

And the lineart/sketch

I overdo my colouring, I can't simple.

I try and try until it looks simple enough but it's a lot of tries until I can make it look simple

[dusty lotus]

I understand what you mean, I have the opposite problem instead haha

[lone wagon]

I'm heading to work now. Talk to u later

[dusty lotus]

Np have a good day

[hardy yew]

I'm really excited about this

[grave nymph]

very

[dusty lotus]

That looks like it's gonna be great :D

[plucky bobcat]

oh helluuu nyamhk

[thick light]

Vibing to music while drawing really does something

Reference:

[dusky trail]

Kameha-ception

[lone wagon]

I play classical music or just relaxing sounds in the bg on low volume when I'm drawing cuz i cant stand loudness when I'm concentrating.

Call me old I dare you

I get mad easily when someone or something disturbs my concentration. Unless they're cute adorable little fluffy beings that goes meoww

[dusky trail]

and also decided to take a nap on your tablet

[lone wagon]

Too cute I can't get mad at them when I should

[thick light]

I get the feeling, old music puts me in a trance and I just find myself humming to it subconsciously, while drawing better than before

[thick light]

I can get my concentration back pretty easily, it all depends on how motivated I am to finish what I'm doing, if it's 100 percent I don't mind taking a quick break which I rarely do

[dusky trail]

meanwhile i just listen to some bond story in some games

you can basically treat it like typical anime drama CD after all

[grave nymph]

Is it really OK to bother with coloring when your laptop's screen is so trashy?

[bronze dagger]

Can always do black and white

Never goes wrong

[grave nymph]

but what if you want to practice coloring? :"D

I was soooo motivated earlier

when I was going to color

[bronze dagger]

Hmmm

[grave nymph]

and my motivation plummeted the moment I try to do so

because I can't distinguish skin colors :"D

[bronze dagger]

Just steal the colour from mihoyo official arts O w O

Or search online for the colours, there should be plenty

[grave nymph]

shading's gonna be tough huh

mannnn

I wanna learn but my device is stopping me to do so

waow

[bronze dagger]

I have trouble with this as well Q Q

[bronze dagger]

What about trying on a different medium like paper?

To get a feel where to put lighting and shadows

[grave nymph]

🤔

will try with my mechanical pencil w

[bronze dagger]

[bronze dagger]

Just a note that it will be harder to shade and stuff due to its nature

And blunt wooden pencil may work better

[grave nymph]

I'll try to look for wood pencils then w

but mannn

I wanna try practicing coloring too qq

[bronze dagger]

What about using your phone to colour?

[grave nymph]

no.

just no.

I refuse to draw in such a small screen

[bronze dagger]

O

[grave nymph]

it makes my mind feel cramped :"D

[bronze dagger]

O

Colouring in black and white can help in the meantime though

[grave nymph]

I guess :"D

[bronze dagger]

Until you get a better device

That’s the only solution I can think of now

[grave nymph]

will work on values and anatomy practice on copy paper I suppose w

[bronze dagger]

Good luck > v <

[mystic lintel]

Does anything look super off?

(except that creepy left hand)

[dusky trail]

i would say the right hand also equally creepy

it also way shorter compare to the left arm

her neck barely exist while her ankle make it look like the socks are too tight

[mystic lintel]

I just draw that lines for nothing

Let me draw neck longer

[dusky trail]

though you seem to also have problem connect the line

[mystic lintel]

Yeah sadly

[dusky trail]

well you can either draw in long stroke by just get your fingers ready on the ctrl Z

that way you hand will "eventually" draw the right curve

or draw in short repeated line then just erase the part that poke out

like here when i use like 3-4 strokes without care

then just slim it down after

but well, it take time to get your hand into habit so just keep practicing

[mystic lintel]

I'm on phone and keep my finger on undo button but my hands go shaky

[dusky trail]

=3=

[mystic lintel]

Yep I don't draw a lot, gotta practice

Better?

[dusky trail]

neck could still be longer

[mystic lintel]

Longer or shorter one?

unless i need to make it longer

[dusky trail]

try not to stretch her neck to collarbone that much

you can see it in this Seele, it is just straight down then to the side

since you turn it more of a triangle shape, it cause her neck to seem chunky

[mystic lintel]

Like that?

[dusky trail]

try a more curve outward kind of line

[mystic lintel]

Okay did that, do i need to fix anything else?

[dusky trail]

well the right arm is still shorter than the left

the ankle could be thicker too

[mystic lintel]

Fixed now

Thanks so much, i'll be back when I finish lineart

[lone wagon]

Why are game bikinis so much prettier than real life?

[plucky bobcat]

bcuz we use them to swimm and less friction in the water means more swimming efficiency... so thats why they looks so smooth n boring. the valks use them as good looking skin. I bet with you that they would just drown because there is always so much fabric and frills on it

[dusky trail]

because it actually fit, ohhhhhh

[bronze dagger]

Also it is because they are designed to keep some parts of our body protected while swimming.

I wish there is a way to mix these two qualities Q Q

[lone wagon]

I don't even go swimming, just sit in the water for 20mins and im like yeah gonna get out

[dusky trail]

same as well, i'm not a beach person

heck, i can't even get along with seafood

[lone wagon]

Yeah im skinny a lot of bikinis are too big on me.

[bronze dagger]

I don’t stay need the beach or swimming pools

[lone wagon]

I prefer sitting in hot springs

[bronze dagger]

And cook soft boiled eggs to eat

[lone wagon]

I'm going to Thailand to visit family next month for 3 weeks

I'm excited to sit in the hot springs again there

[bronze dagger]

O

Is the place huge?

[dusky trail]

also, those twins need more love

[bronze dagger]

The one in SG is small with no surprise

[bronze dagger]

They only appeared in the events once…and it was really nice seeing them interact

[lone wagon]

They're cute for sure

[dusky trail]

well they get to pop up in Mobius web event too

[bronze dagger]

Too little screen time for their appearances Q Q

[lone wagon]

Because they're not as popular

[lone wagon]

Thrills are very possible

[plucky bobcat]

i rarely go swimming but if i go then i dive for hours and collect some seashells or other cool stuff like stones, i can even dive in the ocean without swimming goggles xD

[lone wagon]

I don't like to sea that much xD

But you can gwt all kinds now

So its not impossible to make anime swimwear to rewality

You just have to know where to look

I'm very much into fashion so ik where to find relsly nice stuff

[prisma vector]

https://tenor.com/view/metal-gear-rising-hmm-thinking-smile-gif-12571277

[lone wagon]

SO WHWRE ARW RHEY HOW COMR NOBODU THOUGH OF IT YET

[lone wagon]

I'd totally wear this

[plucky bobcat]

hmm but i'm a man i just wear a simple short with boring palms on it or so

[dusky trail]

well anime get to have better texture after all

[lone wagon]

https://tenor.com/view/neko-anime-cry-crying-girl-gif-23289193

Whaaaaaaa

[lone wagon]

That's a shame. Why not wear bikinis anyways I'm sure you'd get a lot of attention.

[plucky bobcat]

bruh cross dresser like?

[lone wagon]

Why not????

This is such a good pose, you could probably do some really cool illustrations with it

[dusky trail]

plenty of male cosplayer

just look at all those Shimakaze's cosplay... it is so infamous as trap cosplay now

[prisma vector]

Do it

[plucky bobcat]

[outer ember]

late but there are pretty bikinis irl too theyre just usually not made for swimming
honkai likes to add things like blouses and shorts to its beach skins too

[livid storm]

void queen base colours

[hardy yew]

[livid storm]

[mossy flume]

New sticker design

[latent pecan]

I don't know if this counts as art, but...

[dusky trail]

have text covered her thigh? you monster

[hallow marsh]

I'm thinking of making a quick art of Kiana, Mei and Bronya as classic rpg roles. I know I want to make Bronya a mage.

Though what class would Kiana be?

[dusky trail]

well gunner type is still one of the class rpg roles

[hallow marsh]

Ah yeah, could give her a canon lol

[inner talon]

i feel like the sketch is too simple but her design is originally simple

do i have any major mistakes in the anatomy

[livid storm]

Kiana is leader and ranged lol

[dusky trail]

well are you try to make her body twist to the side? because the legs lean more on the left while her torso is facing right

[dusky trail]

https://cdn.donmai.us/sample/71/a0/__yuna_final_fantasy_and_2_more_drawn_by_kikuwata__sample-71a00c90943e26d0f5e07b62b204a8c2.jpg

or just turn her into Yuna from FFX-2

[hallow marsh]

Some good civ there

[inner talon]

i was trying to make it kinda like this

[dusky trail]

then just swap the legs

[inner talon]

ok thanks

[dusky trail]

that way, she would look more like she put the other leg behind

[dusky trail]

so just check one of those reference~

[livid storm]

hey look stigmata art

[inner talon]

tyty

[inner talon]

is this better?

[dusky trail]

[thin oxide]

Try making the front legs thigh a bit bigger from the behind

[dusky trail]

try to lean her left leg a bit like this

[thin oxide]

Like barely a bit just like the smallest big possible and lean the back leg

[inner talon]

hmm ill try

[thin oxide]

And the part where the skirt curves at the front leg, make a fold going down by the front thigh to show it

[dusky trail]

make the left leg a bit longer too, the knees are way too different in height

[inner talon]

thanks

[thin oxide]

Like that but make it look better

[dusky trail]

oh ya~ swap the skirt curve can be use to show the left is the front leg too

[thin oxide]

And the front legs knee line is toooooo curved

Alr well can someone help me with this

I’m trynna draw miko and there’s something off about the skin coloring

What do I fix/remove?

I cant wrap my head around what’s wrong but it just looks off

Should I remove the lip light

[dusky trail]

i'm lighter skin color's faction so...

[thin oxide]

?

[hallow marsh]

Looks like you might need to add little more colour/ saturation if that's the right word?

[thin oxide]

Oh it looks grey bc discord makes it like that just tap the photo for it to be more pink

[dusky trail]

also, the light on the lip should be in the middle of it

[thin oxide]

Idk why discord is doin that

[dusky trail]

instead of just below the lip

[thin oxide]

Alr

[thin oxide]

But wdym by this

[dusky trail]

as in i already draw in lighter color so your skin's color is off to me

[thin oxide]

Is it just me or is discord making it look grey??

[thin oxide]

Oh I usually draw with colors that compliment the main color, pink in this case

[bronze dagger]

I feel like something is wrong with this pose, but I can’t tell. Can someone give suggestions to improve it? ( not sure if the body looks okay with the head…)

[inner talon]

is this skirt better?

im sorry i usually dont draw legs so im struggling

[thin oxide]

Yea it’s perfect now

Nice job

[inner talon]

ty both for the advice

[dusky trail]

i would add a M shape curve on the skirt instead of just S shape

[inner talon]

so a slight curve for the back leg too?

[dusky trail]

but that is optional

[thin oxide]

No

[dusky trail]

it more like the front leg's skirt curve is too strong

[thin oxide]

Yea

[thin oxide]

Why teri

[dusky trail]

so it made the back one look flat in compare

[hallow marsh]

Ah yeah, probably add a lighter colour to the skin I reckon. A bit peach. I'd show what I mean but stuck in work

[dusky trail]

because Kongming best girl

[thin oxide]

Hey I said this already but click the photo for it to be more saturated because discord makes it look grey

[hallow marsh]

Don't worry I had a look

[dusky trail]

i always like the alter version of Teri rather than Teri herself

[thin oxide]

Them two

[dusky trail]

both Kongming and Kindred are just~~~

[thin oxide]

I can’t make it any pinker or it’ll ruin the contrast

[dusky trail]

you may want to lift the back of the skirt up too

[thin oxide]

So many teris

[hallow marsh]

What about a little orange?

[thin oxide]

Uhh

Orange to pink??

No

[bronze dagger]

Purple?

[dusky trail]

then time to go red

[thin oxide]

Yea

[inner talon]

alr tysm

[thin oxide]

I’ll go purple

Where do I put the purple

[bronze dagger]

In the darker areas perhaps

Like shadow

[thin oxide]

I already did

[bronze dagger]

O

[thin oxide]

Should I just scrap the whole thing since no one can find out what’s wrong with it even tho it’s still off

[bronze dagger]

Maybe a mix of purple and red

[dusky trail]

also, the lip's gloss thing

[thin oxide]

Yea I’ll change it

Charging my iPad rn

[bronze dagger]

Um, can I have suggestions on how to improve the pose?

[thin oxide]

The arm that’s closer to the head is longer than the other

[thin oxide]

Legs are too short and skinny

[dusky trail]

oh then, the head is too big yes

[thin oxide]

Show the hip curved a bit so it looks like she’s sitting on her ass not her tail bone

[dusky trail]

her left leg also too high for that angle

[thin oxide]

A little arch

[dusky trail]

with that view point, you should be able to see both legs clearly

[bronze dagger]

Ok

[thin oxide]

@dusky trail

[dusky trail]

her right arm also seem longer than her left

i would go for higher

that would just make me see her as she poking her tongue out

[dusky trail]

well i also tend to go for more shorter lower lip like this too

ya that looks better

[thin oxide]

Oh nah small lips don’t sit well with my artstyle

But I could make it less darker

More pink

[dusky trail]

ty to some "anime" that cause me to hate obvious thick lips

[thin oxide]

Well this isn’t an anime artstyle

What animes?

Also where should I add more pink

[dusky trail]

you know, "that" kind

[thin oxide]

Oh hanime

[dusky trail]

back then, there are many using the "horse face" style and that cause me to hate thick lips

[thin oxide]

So where should I add more pink?

[dusky trail]

middle of the lip and the cheek?

[thin oxide]

How’s this

Cus lips usually get darker near the center and lighter outside

[dusky trail]

i usually use stronger color but seem fine to me

[thin oxide]

Alright thanks

[prisma vector]

Nice

[hardy yew]

I normally draw eyes but i got alittle lazy this time. Im still learning art so ya

[hardy yew]

bootiful

[hardy yew]

i draw the girl that mi ||crush|| crush on

she’s beautiful ngl

more beautiful than my essay

[lone wagon]

my roxana sketch

Originally was just gonna do this but in my own style but ended up changing some bits anyways to make it more like an illustration

For practise purposes

[hardy yew]

details

[lone wagon]

Colouring now. Didn't bother with linear this time to see how I handle it.

[undone hawk]

The eye looks out of place…

[bleak grotto]

they didnt ask for criticism, no need to point it out

[lone wagon]

Probably will attempt to paint the hair and then go for another one

[lone wagon]

attempt 3. Tried to fix the proportions of the eyes since they were massive before. Think they're a little better now. 🙂

[thin oxide]

Wow it’s insanely good

Like literally wow

[thin oxide]

Should I color her ear the same as the other hair? I mean, it’s still fur but it’s her ear so

[noble wasp]

are you still having trouble with the skin tone?

[thin oxide]

No

It’s the ear

The darker part of the hair is the ear

[thin oxide]

Why, does the skin look bad?

[noble wasp]

i wouldnt say it's bad

if you feel something is wrong with it then i'll try to see what i can do, otherwise then no problem

[thin oxide]

I don’t feel anything wrong with it but people are saying it’s horrible

So plz help

[noble wasp]

i tried painting over,

so tried adding blush/makeup and removing some of the specular (highlights)

[thin oxide]

I’m not actually going for such dark eyes

[noble wasp]

can just ignore the eyes

[thin oxide]

Alright

She has makeup already tho

She already has all the stuff u added

[noble wasp]

could use more saturation i guess

might be a discord thing

[thin oxide]

It is yea

When u click the photo it gets pinky

Pinker

[noble wasp]

ill just say dont randomly put highlights

[thin oxide]

The two highlights on the cheeks are for her cheek highlights

[noble wasp]

yeah but the location a bit off

[thin oxide]

Alr where do I put them

[noble wasp]

wait, give me a minute

can kinda imagine the cheeks as a bit rounder, so the specular should be more on the right

[thin oxide]

Alr

[noble wasp]

something like this

you place the specular on the part where the light hits the objects and it reflects directly on to our eyes

[hardy yew]

Yelan wip

[noble wasp]

whether you use hard edge specular or soft depends on the material/ reflectivity of the object

if you want it to be more glossy, can use hard edge like the one on the lips

[thin oxide]

Well the reason it’s glossy on the lips is because it’s lip gloss

But you think gloss is a good idea? I’ll do it

[noble wasp]

i mean, there's also matte lipstick

it's really up to you

[thin oxide]

The nose is fine tho?

[noble wasp]

should also be on the right side more since the structure of the nose is ball shape with wings

if you are going for a more realistic render

[thin oxide]

I put it at the point of the nose

Wait brb

Alr back

[noble wasp]

hmm..is there any reason why you place it at the point of the nose

[thin oxide]

To show contour and highlight ig

[noble wasp]

ok, cause the specular/highlight will change depending on how you imagine the form of the object

i wouldnt say it's wrong if you put it on the tip if that's how you imagine the form

[thin oxide]

I made some spots darker

How does it look now? Anything else need fixing?

[noble wasp]

i think a lot better, but personally i feel could use a bit more contrast

[thin oxide]

Contrast? I’d need an example

[noble wasp]

dont be afraid to make the shadows darker

[thin oxide]

Alright I’m onto it

[noble wasp]

weird discord...it's flagging the lips of yae

[bleak grotto]

lol

[noble wasp]

check the lips, i made the line a bit darker so it would pop out more

is it just discord or you added some blue shade for shadow

[thin oxide]

I added the blue shade for color

[noble wasp]

value might be a bit off, shadows generally does look a bit cooler or "blue" cause of the ambient light

are you following a reference that does that?

[thin oxide]

No

Value? Whats value

Example?

[noble wasp]

value refers to how bright or dark

[thin oxide]

Darker or brighter?

[noble wasp]

i was thinking that it might be a stylistic choice as to why it's that bright

[thin oxide]

Oh darker

[noble wasp]

if it's not your intention then you might want to darken it a bit

[thin oxide]

Yea it’s stylistic

So does it look good now?

[noble wasp]

if you dont find anything wrong with it then just ignore what i said abt the blue shadow

[thin oxide]

Okay

It’s not a shadow it’s for the colors to boom

[noble wasp]

so your intention of adding it was to make the colors pop out more is it?

[thin oxide]

Ye

The pink color

[noble wasp]

hmm...do you feel it's working?

[thin oxide]

Is it not

Not to make the colors boom out that much but to not make the colors look boring because it’s too much pink

[noble wasp]

if you think it is then i wont really say much abt it, but personally it looks more like face makeup / paint or something

[thin oxide]

Oh

[noble wasp]

i think you shud paint the eyes

if you look at yae face right, eveyrthing is pink, but the eyes isnt, and it kinda grabs your attention towards the eyes

[thin oxide]

Yea I usually do it in end

But uhh

Idk how to color eyes

[noble wasp]

i mean, that's a separate issue lol, but what im saying is that, the reason you find it boring cause everything is pink is because you havent added the eyes

[thin oxide]

Ok

I’m onto it

[noble wasp]

by having that diff color dot in the middle, it gives a focal point for the piece

of course, what you did is also valid by adding some diff color, this is just another way to solve the problem

[thin oxide]

@noble wasp

Wait I changed it a bit

[noble wasp]

I personally feel could use a bit more saturation for the eyes

Saturation refers to how blue/green/yellow the color is

Like the conentration

If you are satisfied with it then prolly just ignore my opinion cause it might be a stylisitc choice

And when it comes to style it all just boils down to our individual preferences

But one thing is it def looks a lot better. Cause last time the eyelashes are kinda off in terms of values

[thin oxide]

My sister just said that I needed to fix the hair to head value bc the head is too big

I’ma do that

Also

[noble wasp]

Value doesnt refer to the size though

[thin oxide]

She said value idk

[noble wasp]

You meant proportion maybe

[thin oxide]

Does the pic I sent look good

[noble wasp]

Yea, can try making the specular on the eyes whiter to make it look more reflective

[thin oxide]

Alr also is the head rlly that big

[noble wasp]

The face is fine.. prolly the hair giving the illusion.

[thin oxide]

Alright

[noble wasp]

What rendering style are you aiming for? Semi realistic? Anime style?

[thin oxide]

Anime

The hair is smaller how is it now

[noble wasp]

Give me a sec. Will finish something first

Also, just saying this but you're current render is leaning more towards semi reliastic not anime

[thin oxide]

Oh alright I like that more anyways

Wyd?

[noble wasp]

Lunch. So i cant open up csp to do stuff

You can try drawing the head shape first if you want

That shud help you get the hair down properly

[thin oxide]

My sister said make the ears smaller and more down

[noble wasp]

yeah, if you look at yae's ears

[livid storm]

Fischl's new outfit looks like Rita

[livid storm]

The issue I see currently is the face in proportion to the rest of her hair is too "squashed". Make it a little wider as my suggestion

[noble wasp]

you pinged wrongly, not my work

[livid storm]

oh woops

[livid storm]

@thin oxide

[noble wasp]

im just drawing the head shape so the person can see it better and adjust accordingly

[livid storm]

yeah good

[dawn rapids]

Can anyone help me buy graphic tablet 😔 🧛

[dusky trail]

i'm too poor to buy you one

[dawn rapids]

But thanks

[edgy cairn]

why does the face shape throw me off so much?? it looks ok flipped.

[hardy yew]

it looks cute

[edgy cairn]

tysm

[thin oxide]

U outlined it completely different from what I drew

[livid storm]

?

[thin oxide]

Didn’t mean to ping u

[livid storm]

Oh

[noble wasp]

I dunno how you draw it so cant help you with that. This is just how i think it is

[thin oxide]

Hey so I almost finished it

But the one u seen is the old one

Here

@noble wasp

Soo??

[noble wasp]

if you think it's ok then yeah, this is already part of aesthetics for me so it really varies from person to person depending on their taste

it's looking good

[thin oxide]

When you say “if you think it’s okay” that’s pretty back handed

Is it good or not?

[noble wasp]

yeah good for me, that particular line can indeed be misunderstood

what i meant was there's really no glaring issue for me, and if i have any nitpicks it would most prolly be just my taste which i dont want to kinda impose on you

[thin oxide]

Ooh

Okay

So it’s good from a viewers pov?

[noble wasp]

thats why if you are satisfied with it then it's good to go

It's looking good, just need to do clean ups and stuff

[thin oxide]

Oh yea it’s not done yet

[noble wasp]

yeah, but the base is kinda solid, so i think it shud turn out great

[thin oxide]

Thanks for all the help dude!

I really appreciate it

Loads

[noble wasp]

one last thing, can add specular on corner of lips to make it popout more

[bronze dagger]

Perhaps it’s the position of the eye? Not sure though, looks awesome

[noble wasp]

does this look better to you?

[serene shore]

Made a Herrscher of Reason Gfx

[dusky trail]

project bunny's finger look like Bronya just try to lift her skirt to show off her legs there

[edgy cairn]

yeah, a bit better ngl

my layers are horribly organized tho

any way to liquify multiple layers at once on CSP?

[noble wasp]

Not sure how liquify works in csp..i think it's a relatively new feature so im not sure how it works. Is it implemented alr? Worst case is just copy merge everything

[dire ruin]

no ;o you can only do one at a time

but ya. merge all visible to new layer, work there ;o

plus if you haven't changed it hold d to be able to select individual layers ;o

I'm having a hard time on where to put the light source for this 😆

if it not important then you can always throw the light source directly at her face

[noble wasp]

look for reference

[steep helm]

its going😌

[prisma vector]

It's creepy but great art

[bleak grotto]

spookie

[worthy junco]

Did I do the torsos too long or thin? I have a long torso so I often do it by mistake

[dusky trail]

hard to tell without see the full body but it is thin yes

specially with how big her crotch and thighs are

it almost like she wearing a super tight corset

[worthy junco]

Is this any better

[dusky trail]

now the head is too big

and the distant between her breast to collarbone is too wide

you can use this as reference

[worthy junco]

Thanks

Do her eyes look wonky

[dusky trail]

her left eye is a bit too tilt

because you already draw her head in tilt position, it cause the eye off compare to the face

[dusky trail]

if you put the guide line there, you can see her left cheek also rather drag out too

[worthy junco]

Thanks

[worthy junco]

Is there anything else you see that's wrong

[dusky trail]

there is the way you draw her collar as more drag upward instead of just straight down

it may cause it to look like her collarbone is curve too hard

it is more balance like this

and her should is rather short in compare to the head too

[visual cargo]

WHAT

[steep helm]

what

[visual cargo]

what happen to aponia?

[worthy junco]

Does this look better and ill fix the turtle neck soon

[dusky trail]

hmm may want to wider the arms too

[worthy junco]

Is this better

[dusky trail]

seem fine, beside the left cheek still off compare to her right cheek, nothing else too noticeable

you do want to fix the eye still though

[worthy junco]

Thanks

[dusky trail]

just draw a quick line on the face

you can see the left eye is too tilted there

[worthy junco]

Is the left side of her hair lacking volume

[dusky trail]

i thought you are going for a side hair style but if not then yes, it lack in volume

[worthy junco]

Oh I am I was just wondering

[dusky trail]

well, it just need a bit more, enough to outline the ear should do

[worthy junco]

Thanks again you were really helpful because I always thought smth was wrong with her eyes but couldn't quite pinpoint it

[dusky trail]

well stuff like that is why guide line is helpful

[worthy junco]

Yeah and I should probably flip my drawings more

[dusky trail]

how detail it is depend on the person but have those point lay out just make it easier to see it

[worthy junco]

I'll call it a night for drawing today and fix stuff tomorrow

[drifting flare]

hey there chat :D

i asked a question at honkaichat but peeps are kinda busy so i wanna try asking here

i'm looking for transparent pictures of the FC sims thingy that you see in ER, i need it for an artwork... i think this channel is pretty fitting to ask-?

i want the leg closer to us to be kinda forshortened

that already seem to be one knee down position anyway so why not just go with that?

[dusky trail]

i would say it is the angle of the knee

[silent hound]

Repost

Which knee

[dusky trail]

the right knee

it is too close the ground, cause the thigh to look massive and putting pressure on the feet

[near rampart]

Omg I have that outfit for her and it’s so good

[lunar sonnet]

This feels like it's getting overcomplicated...

[marsh path]

I think you’ve gotta reevaluate those hands

Try segmenting them, it’ll help :3

[lunar sonnet]

already did, still wasn't much help

then again, I guess trying to pose your hands for the gesture isn't the best idea since you're already contorting your arm to do so.

I'll come back to it some other time once the rest of the stuff is finished

[marsh path]

Do these notes help any? @lunar sonnet

[lunar sonnet]

The legs do, ye

[marsh path]

Yea try messing around w that

If you use a big brush for effects it’ll make things easier to see as well

Like put it on its own layer, turn it off and on

[lunar sonnet]

Better?

[marsh path]

Yea! The hand looks a lot more legible now as well

The top is still a little wide, but that can be improvements for next time if you don’t feel like fixing it

[thick light]

Aponia

My iPad sucks

[teal seal]

Ugh this is taking forever idek how I spend 20 hours on this it didn’t even feel like it

[thick light]

Idk if coloring it ruined it or not

I might just leave it as a sketch

[plucky bobcat]

in black n white it really looks like himeko in aponias skin

[timid flicker]

Cus of the bangs

[plucky bobcat]

even the sharp eyes looks full of fire and motivation like himeko, aponias eyes looked more numb and depressed

[brittle rivet]

wip

[dusky trail]

with how Arlecchico and Columbina pretty much everywhere nowaday

stuff like that is why i can't bother draw for Genshin anymore

[thick light]

I tried to make it look numb and depressed but it didn't fit my art style ;-;

[plucky bobcat]

but i think it looks very good still

[lunar sonnet]

We lack quality Pierro and Capitano stuff

[thick light]

I tried adding a little bit of shading

I think I should’ve made her lips a bit bigger tbh

[dusky trail]

give her more love instead

[plucky bobcat]

maybe just a little not so much bigger than before

[timid flicker]

Try making the top flatter instead of curved then, make them look less pointy on the edges

Also im pretty sure her bangs dont look that way, maybe that'll help too

Smth like this maybe? Just a suggestion tho

[thick light]

Alright, thanks

How’s this?

[timid flicker]

Yep yep, just soften the curve a little to make it look natural

The left curve

You could also do the eye like this to make it more dead looking

You can give her light eyebags

[thick light]

Alright

[timid flicker]

I hope that helps :D

[thick light]

Yup! ^^

I tried but it makes her look like she’s gonna cry @timid flicker

Should I add tears just to make it go with her persona?

[timid flicker]

Isnt that her character? Pent up pain

She wants to cry but she cant

[thick light]

So I’ll just either leave it as is

Or add lil tears

[timid flicker]

Thats up to u

Both look nice in my opinion

Just have one eye trickling a tear down her face

[thick light]

Alright, so these are the alts

[timid flicker]

I like this better

The left eye is still a tad too sharp in the inner end

[thick light]

That’s probably the issue

[timid flicker]

Ye

When u do color it, dont highlight her eyes

You can highlight her lashes a little bit, but keep the pupils dark

[woeful hinge]

I know I haven’t said anything yet but here are somethings you could change if you wanted to

[plucky bobcat]

joo it looks amazing

[thick light]

Fixed it

[timid flicker]

Also another tip, try to make your clothes flow more naturally around the shape of the body, try to use the body as a guideline on how you'll draw the clothes on

For example the bobas

The arms are a cylinder, so sleeves should curve around them

You can draw the pieces of clothes in segmets to help you understand it better

After you have your basic shapes you can sketch in the extra details

You can also score the darker areas of the clothes to help you find your way around a bit better. Like behind the arms, underboob, and usually under the neck

[timid flicker]

If you're doing it digitally, then draw the details a layer on top of the basic clothing shapes ^-^

[thick light]

Alrighty

Thank you so much for the advice lately

[near rampart]

What should I draw her wearing next????

[thick light]

Minecraft creeper hoodie 😄

[thick light]

Made some small changes, that aside I like it so far

[plucky bobcat]

i like it too

[near rampart]

:00 okay!

[timid flicker]

Looks great

[thick light]

Thanks

[timid flicker]

Not honkai but W.i.p nonetheless

[woeful hinge]

Ayo it’s starting to look really pretty

[dire ruin]

oh!! crits please for my random completely unexpected perspective sketches i did ;o
i wanna know how i can improve
buttt they're also pretty messy :') so apologies

[dusky trail]

so one of them is standing while the other sitting?

[dire ruin]

yeyeye

[dusky trail]

then i would suggest not to go for completely top down view for the standing girl

and it easier to see the problem when you flip them around

but if you still want to go for that then, the sitting girl could be bigger

her head can still be on the same size as the other girl

she just sitting, not a floor down

her hip could be wider and her knee should be parallel with her left boob

[dire ruin]

oooo ty shik ;o

[dusky trail]

well if you still want to keep it that way, then they should look something like this

when you look up, your head will lean backward so the collabone and some of the neck should be visible

no need for the hair to show that much in the back either

unless you want to be fancy and have the wind blowing their hairs

[dire ruin]

ty for the advice !! ;o

[marsh path]

Suggestion, break them down into forms first before you draw them. If you’ve ever heard of geoforms, make sure to make your drawing in perspective in accordance to those

Additionally, the one sitting down would be smaller

Add a plane too so you can actually see where characters are standing

[dire ruin]

? i have no idea what a geoform is

[marsh path]

I’ll do a redline

Basically you’re drawing the object like it’s in a 3d space

Uhhh ignore big white space lol

I just copy pasted ur drawing into a file and didn’t use the whole thing

But basically what I’m trying to say is that when you’re drawing your characters, it’s helpful to draw them out of three dimensional shapes like cubes and cylinders. This way, you can tell the curvature of the character’s anatomy and better adjust it. Using referencing will also be really helpful for you!

For this particular drawing, it might help to add an object for scale that we’re all familiar with, for example a fire hydrant.

[dire ruin]

oohhhh i understand now ;o

[blissful niche]

I dont know where I should ask about it, but I suppose it's the closest channel to it, does anyone know where I can get MMD models for honkai characters?

[marsh path]

Character wip

[timid flicker]

Have u tried a simple google search?

[blissful niche]

surprisingly, yes, and all I can find are chinese sites that I cannot navigate through because I am not chinese, nor does google translate works, because text is applied on images, I tried using a certain site but it requires a phone number, and I cannot get verification code to download the models

[timid flicker]

I dunno, i dont work with mmd

[weak raft]

I spend 19 hour for this drawing and im happyyy

[edgy cairn]

ref for a hand like this?

[lunar sonnet]

Anybody mind giving me a second opinion on these sleeves

[timid flicker]

Looks good

[dusky trail]

the cuff part of the right sleeve maybe a bit too small

[lunar sonnet]

This is on the right hand from the point of view of the character right

[dusky trail]

yes, her right

[lunar sonnet]

ayt just making sure

Adjusted it slightly

[dusky trail]

since her puff sleeve rather pointy there, it also seem to make her shoulder feel rather stiff and small

like the sleeve hanging on the tip of the shoulder, not around it

you can see the left sleeve hang around the collar part too

[lunar sonnet]

I see

This better?

[dusky trail]

may want to push the frill part deeper to match the left sleeve

[woeful hinge]

Woah that’s really coming together my guy

[lunar sonnet]

Which frill part

The one on the sleeve or the one on the shoulder coif?

[lunar sonnet]

Oh, that's gonna get erased

Since it's covered

[dusky trail]

=3=

[lunar sonnet]

Oh wait now I think I see what you mean

[dusky trail]

well just adjust so the left and the right side match

[lunar sonnet]

You mean to add these little bits sticking out?

[dusky trail]

from that angle, it can stick out more than just little bit

i do it a bit too much there but you get the point

[lunar sonnet]

I see, alright then

[dusky trail]

[lunar sonnet]

Thanks, but it's going to be a long way before it all comes together

[dusky trail]

you can use that as reference i guess

[lunar sonnet]

A very long way

[lunar sonnet]

Like this?

[dusky trail]

here something for the puff sleeve

and there the frill

so no need to put the puff sleeve that high

[dusky trail]

so just draw a ball shape like this

then draw the sleeve around it

you will have a bit more natural shape that way

[lunar sonnet]

These things are always harder once it's down to lineart...

[dusky trail]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/783078378872897608/998539236594692096/unknown.png

it is fine to make the frill flat like this

you are using high angle after all so those frill should be more visible

[woeful hinge]

Sorry but is this a specific character or original character?

[lunar sonnet]

specific

[dusky trail]

i would go for flatter but that is fine i guess

[woeful hinge]

Which character is it? (Sorry I’m just blind)

[lunar sonnet]

It's from an rpg

mmo

a commish for a person's character

[lunar sonnet]

I should probably stop for now, feeling sleepy and not quite in the right mind to figure out how to adjust these frills on the dress

Nvm looks like I need to adjust the size

[opal walrus]

Hello
