Did you call me a saint well thats new

[elder veldt]

@upper kindle you just give a lot of advice to a lot of people

[upper kindle]

Thanks i just try to help when i can

[elder veldt]

Could i get some construcutive cridcisum on this one

[upper kindle]

I dont really know about insects but maybe you should render if you like it or try other angles idk

But overall its ok i dont see any big problem

[upper kindle]

This his really good maybe theres moment where i feel like its to slow but its ok honestly you could just
Post it in the my art chanel already

👍😁👍

[teal cairn]

thanks

[left basalt]

It needs more shading, if you were going for a anime drawing. Would advise you to use hash mark shading.

[olive aspen]

Drew this on the Discord whiteboard thing

Any tips?

[upper kindle]

Its cuz youre shadow has no sens to it

[elder veldt]

It feels like because of how bright the background is that there should be light emitting from everything and so the shading coming from a single point of reference doesn't make sense for the piece but otherwise it's a great drawing

[elder veldt]

. Figeater beetle ref +art

Constructive cridcicum plz + i know a bout the eye

[teal cairn]

🪼🪼🪼

[worldly magnet]

do u have some tips on how to draw musles or close

better

[elder veldt]

Plz wich one is better 1

2

[iron nebula]

I think they are both good and this will come down to preference. I like 2 as it shows more of the beetle but some may prefer 1 due to the symmetrical aspect of it.

[elder veldt]

@iron nebula ya i was thinking 2 now that i have sat with it

[long solstice]

does anyone here have experience with 2d blender. i need help plsss

[south locust]

i think i cooked a little and it came cold, any thoughts

[upper kindle]

Thats good idk if theres anything in this sketch that you could add but for the moment its ok

[shut hearth]

[low bay]

any idea on how to use filters to make it look better?

[compact bough]

idk about filters but increasing the contrast would probably help

photoshop has this thing where you can increase the darkness levels & boost the brighness levels separately so something like that would probably be more useful than full on deep frying it

[devout flax]

Help me. I don’t know how to draw. XD

[compact bough]

this looks good, what specifically are you struggling with?

[devout flax]

It just looks weird. I mean the saturation went up by like a million percent when I took the picture lol but besides that it just looks off

I think it’s the mouth 🥲

Or the eyes. He looks like a big when I draw him 😭

[compact bough]

hmm, i like the stylization of the teeth, is there a way you could show more 3d shape/maybe gums of mouth without polishing away the style of it? also, could it be that the shoulders look 2d when the rest has more form to it?

[devout flax]

Bug*

[compact bough]

the eyes look cool though, they look like an intentional style decision rather than accidentally too big

[devout flax]

Okay good 🥲

This is a character from a webtoon but I don’t think it even looks like the character. That’s why I’m struggling

[compact bough]

ohh, well i cant really help with likeness without opening photoshop & scribbling but, from a not knowing who the character is pov, i dont think its the face the more i look at it, the shoulders & the neck could look more connected if that makes sense?

[devout flax]

Yeah that does make sense

[compact bough]

idk if it helps but even when im drawing shoulders up, i still draw the basic shapes of the torso/shoulder area just to get an idea of whats happening (unless im doing traditionally, then i do a tiny thumbnail sketch to the side & use it like a lil map)

maybe look at some references?

would it help if i made some images?

[devout flax]

Sure! Thanks you’re super helpful :))

[compact bough]

ok, gimme a sec!

are we allowed to post art references that are safe for work on here?

[devout flax]

I’m pretty sure

That or you can just dm me

[compact bough]

yeah! ill do that instead, its faster

[low jolt]

Hi if anyone is gonna help me thanks anyway I’m on mobile and I suck at drawing on Gartic phone so if anyone has advice thanks

[compact bough]

anything you're struggling with specifically?

[low jolt]

Just the quality in general also if you know a way to connect anything like a pen to my phone that will help ALOT thanks

[compact bough]

sorry, technology isnt my forte either lol

as for general quality, i would recommend brushing up on drawing fundamentals, things like form & gesture help a lot when trying to draw things from imagination so for gartic i would start there, a good exercise would be looking at anything on your desk & breaking it down into basic shapes, (ex. jar becomes big cylinder with slightly smaller cylinder on top)

but if youre having a hard time figuring out what to look into, i would recommend trying to pay attention to what you get stuck on when drawing & look into why its an issue for you/what the gaps in ur knowledge are & start troubleshooting from there

[low jolt]

Thank you bro appreciate it a lot

[compact bough]

yeah! good luck on ur art journey!

[low jolt]

Oh damm sorry wrong place

[elder veldt]

Any tips °☆°

More form and round butt thinner inrdecint strip more faded purpel hood smaller eyes more deff to the hood shape

[elder veldt]

Ok took my "tips" a littel

[devout flax]

I think maybe the shading of the light could be a little smoother but other than that it’s looking pretty good n

🙂

[devout flax]

I tried making it look better… but heck naw it doesn’t look good. I want it to be recognizable as the character it’s supposed to be but it doesn’t even look like him. My style is all over the place and it just doesn’t look good. All of you are incredible artists and I would really value your feedback. Feel free to screenshot and draw over if that’s helpful. I just need help to become an ok artist 🥲

It’s supposed to be a character from an old webtoon but it doesn’t look at all like him 😭😭😭

[elder veldt]

@devout flax can i see what caricter its sapost to be

[rocky obsidian]

HAPPY NEW YEAR YALLS

[devout flax]

Nico from a webtoon called hooky

Bad quality picture lol

This was the reference I used

I pulled a lot of the colors from jt

[lusty falcon]

i need tips to make him more handsome

[grizzled cobalt]

any tips? this is a wip and my main goal here is to make the outline clean

[grizzled cobalt]

the only thing that bothers me a little here is the nose
maybe make it more simple?
but everything else looks reaaaalllyyyy good!

[devout flax]

Awwwww thank you so much!

[devout flax]

If it’s an option in the program you are using, I’d turn up the stability so your lines are smoother. And maybe change the line thickness based on where it is in the drawing?

Like thicker on the outside?

[grizzled cobalt]

tysm for the stability tip!! i realised that i've never used stabilizer before 💀 (what kind of artist am i lmao) again tysm!!
i had to redraw the whole thing, but it looks much cleaner and smoother

[misty basalt]

monki

[unborn saffron]

Jack Merridew from lord of the flies- I need advice, and I also need some help with the lips- and I just wanna know if the anatomy is sorta good. In the book he's supposed to be skinny- but he doesnt really look all that skinny so im just leaving him like that

[elder veldt]

Too far apart i think/small

[final maple]

How do I improve this? It's my first time trying this art style and I need some tips!

[low bay]

do a ctrl - to his face

[final maple]

I made it on mobile so idk what that does :/

but thanks

[devout flax]

Is the art style supposed to spill out of the lines? If not cleaning up the colors would be good

[final maple]

Ok tysm!

[random coyote]

Even more wrinkles

[devout flax]

Also @final maple the shadow is the wrong way. I just noticed that. If you look at the light source the shadow is wrong

Unless that was intentional

[elder veldt]

Any help on these 2

[balmy wasp]

my first thought was boykisser

[elder veldt]

That was gole

Any way make look more boy kisser

[zenith quartz]

more between frames

[grizzled cobalt]

use a reference image

[grizzled cobalt]

on the 2nd picture, i recommend for you to copy+paste 1 half of the beetle, mirror it and move it onto the other side. i think it will look better symetrical

[exotic flame]

any tips on shading?

[devout flax]

Determine light source and go from there

[final maple]

omg i just realized that

tysm

[devout flax]

Hahah you’re good 🙂

[grizzled cobalt]

any advice here? (my oc)

[teal cairn]

you should give the body more expression

if this makes sense

[mellow plank]

I think the mouse

*mouth

[mellow plank]

it could be more spherical

[alpine dirge]

the arms look too stiff

[rugged birch]

First time using oil pastels it’s really simple but any tips? I know it’s messy

[vestal crane]

Finally got around to introducing myself to a daily art practice, consisting of constructing basic shapes, modifying those shapes, and carving them out; are there any inconsistencies or things that can be improved on?

also idk what to do with the knight mask thing

[shy kraken]

have you tried a website called Draw A Box? (it's more than that, I promise 😄 ) It's focused on learning to draw shapes, perspective and combining them to a more complex stuff.

Some of these reminded me of some of their exercises. :)

[alpine dirge]

@olive aspen is that cone trooper drawing just the fortnite model, traced

[olive aspen]

not the Fortnite

And yes I did traced the helmet

Cuz I can’t draw the helmet I did it like for a hour

[alpine dirge]

the body looks traced too

[olive aspen]

Yea whatever you say

I spend like a few hours to finish the body

the colouring just spend like 20 minutes

[olive aspen]

is that against the rule or something?

Cuz idk I can’t trace in my drawing then post it on this server

[alpine dirge]

idk lmaoo

[olive aspen]

lol

I got a suites version of it tho

[alpine dirge]

i just pointed it out cuz it looks traced

[olive aspen]

suited

[olive aspen]

Should I post it?

@alpine dirge answer me

[alpine dirge]

idk lmaoo

[olive aspen]

Bruh

[alpine dirge]

jsing

[olive aspen]

Huh

[ocean ferry]

.

[vestal crane]

Imma check it tonight, thx

[exotic flame]

Trying to figure out how to draw her mouth

[upper kindle]

do you see anything i should redo

[merry snow]

left hand, the one holding the knee.

[upper kindle]

Yeah?

Its not on the knee but sure

[merry snow]

you could make it a bit smaller

[upper kindle]

O you meen the right one yes i see what you mean

[merry snow]

from the characters perspective it’s their left

[upper kindle]

Yeah i know im just not use to it

[full perch]

this perspective shot makes the hand look odd (lego ahh stick arm), how do i fix 😭

[elder veldt]

I'm trying to draw these two Pokémon or one of these two but I don't know which thumbnail sketch to go with any ideas

[elder veldt]

@full perch I I would say once you zoom out it doesn't look too bad but maybe adding more detail to the arm might make it look less like a Lego stick like veins or whatever

[teal cairn]

Okay, I'm not the most professional when it comes to Perspective, but I'll try and explain it based on my understanding, it seems you drew the arm like a cylinder. What you have to understand that the arm can be simplified into the shape of a cylinder, the arm itself isn't a perfect cylinder. It has certain parts where it protrudes, so to say, I highly recommend you look up references for perspectives like this, or use 3d models to substitute and give you an idea of what it should look like

for further reference, I'll use clip studio paint's default models, from the way you drew it, the arm would look like the sketch on the right if in the normal angle which isnt how it should look, because the arm has depth and isnt just a solid cylinder

i also provided an example of a correction from that perspective, so you can check it out, hope this was helpful!

[teal cairn]

the 2nd las one maybe

or the second one on the top row, but im not really sure whats going on there

[proper coral]

why is it so dark?

now its fixed

[floral rapids]

What should i fix

[grizzled cobalt]

hair looks too big for me. or is it supposed to be like that?

[floral rapids]

Yea its ssj3

[grizzled cobalt]

oh then okay

[woven cypress]

i want to start drawing
any tip of get start drawing?
im following 1 year drawing schedule from youtube (from Marc Brunet)

[teal cairn]

My tips for learning
-tutorials help a lot
-analyse other artworks
-use references to better understand things like anatomy
-understand your medium
-keep your old art as a way to look back on your progress
-draw with structures and simple shapes then add detail
-It's ok to have days that don't work out
(take this with a grain of salt, I'm still an intermediate)

[woven cypress]

thanks alot

[left fjord]

Like 2d hair

Draw towards the back

[left fjord]

btw, how do send pictures here?

[high sentinel]

What's this drawing missing?

I feel like it's a background but I need ideas for that

[left fjord]

what they do?

[high sentinel]

They playing volleyball

They're my characters

[high sentinel]

But I'm just a bit stuck honestly, idk how to continue it

[left fjord]

ıdk but, first draw a perspective according to the direction of the net

[left fjord]

because it seemed two-sided to me

[high sentinel]

That's a good idea, I was thinking I could draw behind the sea and it's like a sunset

[cedar lagoon]

I am kinda at a loss and really need help. I am super happy with this drawing but I just can't come up with a good background. I have tried gradients (which for some reason I have forgotten how to do without an airbrush) and wanted to like make a sort of magical mist but I don't know how to draw that with it looking any good. I don't know what to do.

[left fjord]

you can try to put a different sad drawing of the boy on the bottom left and the girl's angelic expression on the top right.

transparently

[left fjord]

like this

[floral rapids]

k thx

Looks less like pixel art

[gentle badge]

opposite color of characters make nice background

[sonic patrol]

I made someone named Robert and I love him a lot, but uh I need help shading him, idk where the light source should be for best look

[bitter bronze]

maybe a top down-ish light source

somewhat like what bodybuilders do to get better pictures

[bitter bronze]

really depends, you could go with a simple flat color that contrasts that of the characters, that but with some brush strokes added in for extra detail or even a blurry landscape with a color pallete similar to the contrasting color you would use for a flat background if you are willing to do that

[long drum]

i cant post images, how can one get art perm, nvm

i got bored i think i over inked

[zenith thicket]

how do I draw mouth >:c

my reference

[sonic patrol]

Alright, thanks man

[bitter bronze]

:>

[sonic patrol]

New shaded robert

[floral rapids]

I might have made the eyes a little low but the shape of the eyes and nose are what you need to improve a bit

[harsh pecan]

Can anyone help me make a face for this guy

This is an older drawing of him from a few years ago he’s one of my favorite ocs but I never have figured out how to do his facial features

[teal cairn]

whenever i draw facial features it looks like its from scooby doo-

[harsh pecan]

Mine usually don’t but I’ve tried drawing this guy over and over again but can never get his face right I have no idea where to put his mouth so he always ends up looking like he has a dislocated jaw

[teal cairn]

rip

[floral rapids]

E

[harsh pecan]

One good tutorial guy on YouTube is how to draw like a sir also start by being able to draw good shapes like straight lines round circles and stuff like that before you start drawing actual characters or backgrounds if you draw paper

[floral rapids]

I drew 3d shapes for mine

I watched a foreshortening video by marc

That drawing is the result of it after a day

Tho it only took 7 mins

[harsh pecan]

?

What drawing

[floral rapids]

This one

[harsh pecan]

Oh I was giving advice to someone else but I can give you some advice too

[floral rapids]

Sure

[harsh pecan]

Al lot of the proportions of the body are off

[floral rapids]

Where?

[harsh pecan]

Like the shoe size is a bit off

[floral rapids]

k

I noticed that but the eraser just smudges so i left it lol

[harsh pecan]

One question where is the head facing

[floral rapids]

Away

[harsh pecan]

The hair is a bit off

But don’t worry about the hair yet

[floral rapids]

Not surprising it took 20 seconds to draw

[harsh pecan]

But nice job

[floral rapids]

Do you want to see another one?

[harsh pecan]

Sure

[harsh pecan]

Nice hands

[floral rapids]

Thx i used my hands as a refrence

[floral rapids]

I'd be scared if kira yoshikage said that

[teal cairn]

Yall why can't I send images in the art channel😭

[vestal crane]

Maybe there’s a channel that talks about image perms idk

[runic wind]

#🎟│upload-guidelines

[teal cairn]

Oh damn I am slow

My bad

[runic wind]

np a lot of people have that issue

[teal cairn]

😭

[runic wind]

anyway, should i render this more and if so, how should I make it less streaky

[teal cairn]

I'm my opinion, that looks fine and stylized as is, but I'd just take whatever lighting you're using for this piece into consideration. To smoothen, low opacity smudge tool?

[left fjord]

Any mistake is there

[teal cairn]

damn everyone here so good at art!

[devout flax]

The pupils are really small and so is the mouth. The jaw is also really far back

[devout flax]

You also don’t have any eyebrows

[upper kindle]

Maybe this can help

Its some sketch i did on how to place the eyes on the skull

And yes the oustide lines are important to set the start of the jaw

[devout flax]

The shoulder are also pretty narrow and tilt down a lot. I can’t tell if that’s intentional or not

[upper kindle]

To do so he could divide first the shoulder to harm into volums so he can perfection the pose before liner

[devout flax]

Yes

[upper kindle]

The nose is also way to low see on this skull the nose starts about mid eye and finish beguining of the jaw when in youre drawing nose strarts beguining of the jaw i know anatomy his a pain to learn but you cant skip it man

Ps you can see that the curve actually starts way before in the side profile one

[harsh pecan]

Can anyone help me make the face for this guy it’s already a lost cause but I would like some advice

Can figure out how to draw a face for that weirdly shaped head

[left fjord]

@devout flax @upper kindle thx

That's what it looks like for now

His mouth is slightly to the right. I have to redraw it.

also this is the sketch

[upper kindle]

Yeah thats way better man keep it up

[left fjord]

yes

theres no neck

I think you should start by drawing a stick man (not a bad criticism)

hide the right arm behind the head, it looks like a broken arm

[left fjord]

İs this good

[left fjord]

This is better

[devout flax]

I like it 🙂 I would suggest less large water droplets and more smaller ones. And also don’t feel afraid to overlap droplets!

[left fjord]

I tried the hitman style in Hajime no ippo.

[devout flax]

The size of the head changes a lot

[left fjord]

yes :/

[devout flax]

Also don’t feel afraid to move the other arm more instead of having it so static. Also when punching there is a long windup and a short extension. The last punch was a decent example of that, but those first ones were all one fluid motion. If I were to type them they would go - - - -
Instead think more of - - .. /
With a little bounce back at the end. That didn’t make too much sense but it’s hard to explain without showing it

And don’t forget about center of mass. There at some point at the start when the character leans forward the foot placement doesn’t give it much room therefore, in real life, they might topple over.

Hopefully that was somewhat helpful @left fjord

Goodluck animating!

[left fjord]

thx

The arm thing is hitman style.

[devout flax]

[reef scaffold]

make the clothes feel more like clothes instead of just paintings on the body! especially the overalls since they r such a thick piece of clothing. there are HUNDREDS of tutorials on clothes folds/texturing, etc online

[teal cairn]

only loooking for advice if you think you can improve, right? tbh i think it's reallly great, i guess if you wannna enhance it you could add effects

[peak anvil]

Make a stick mann, then make C I R C L E S.
It helps give you an idea of the shape you want.

Also use arrows to guide the direction of a flexible limb.
(like a tail)

[turbid vapor]

how do i impove on my shading/coloring? also lmk if there's anything off abt it too pls

(ignore the arrows, they were there for comedic purposes and im too lazy to remove them lol)

[grim spruce]

(i dont really know how to color so im just gonna give advice on shading) shading, like most things depends om artstyle, im not sure if your intent is going for cell-shade but im gonna assume that based on your drawing. One thing i like to do is separate the elements of the body in simple shapes ex: the nose as a triangle and go on from there. Also having a set light source can help you better set a scene (i cant express this properly on text but i recomend in depth tutorials)

Also i love your stlye

[left fjord]

ı can't see if there is a lighting here

You need a place for lighting, if you make it prominent, the shading will match it.

[left fjord]

If you bring the color closer to white where it needs to be illuminated, the coloring will also improve.

[turbid vapor]

ohh okay, ty both !!

[craggy lagoon]

There we go

[drowsy sorrel]

Dont forget to flip your drawing to check for any proportional errors

[craggy lagoon]

what do you mean

[left fjord]

what is this

[craggy lagoon]

waterbending

[left fjord]

first you have to learn how to draw a character properly.

the simple way is this to beggining

but you're gonna have to put in more effort.

[cursive radish]

I made gear 5 Luffy but idk y I think there's something missing? Is there ?
And
Should I use a pencil or pen ?

[amber wolf]

Yo, guys, any tips how can I improve my volumes and movement or composition at work? It's look a bit static and flat to me

[amber wolf]

Try using pen, and drawing itself looks nice, the thing that you just randomly put it on paper, so because it looks unfinished, i think

[cursive radish]

Yep it is not finished yet bc I'm thinking of using a pen but I'm just not sure and btw thx man I'll try it

[amber wolf]

just look, if I do so, it looks finished right now

you may try to find better composition, i did it like in a 5 seconds

try to redraw or crop the paper, or make a frame

or fill it with something else, like with some ornament

oh

also your composition is overfilled at the bottom

try to add something at top or remove something at bottom, to give it more air

yo bruh open ur dms

i need help again 😭

[untold tapir]

Who wanna play roblox strict dad

[inland narwhal]

first time drawing on paper in nearly a decade, used a reference, any tips on what I could improve, thank you 🫡

[untold lodge]

not done but it looks so off 😭 help

[vestal vale]

How do I fix shitty lineart help

[keen kestrel]

there is nothing we can do

[untold lodge]

add line weight? And there are some extra lines that are out of place u could erase

[scenic warren]

The face looks a little flat to me

[untold lodge]

how do I fix that..

[scenic warren]

I'm not the best artist, but I would say to turn the face a little more and give the nose more shape

[left fjord]

idk,but maybe try perspective.

[gloomy dust]

Try shading (might not work but it’s worth it sometimes, also I would recommend a different layer for shading)

[untold lodge]

there is shading.. 😭

[gloomy dust]

Meant like you need more, sorry if I sounded rude tho

[untold lodge]

no no it’s fine I appreciate it thank u

[azure marlin]

is there any way i can improve this?

[untold lodge]

Then shoulders look a little stiff?

[azure marlin]

ooh yeah so make the body seem less stiff?

[hybrid orchid]

If you can, maybe add a little bit more contrast so that every piece of showing skin doesn’t look like its on the same layer, but other than that, the drawing is amazing

[untold lodge]

OHH OKAY TYSM

[left fjord]

the tv is looking to the right, but the eye is straight

[bright remnant]

i would stroke to this tbh

[wild parcel]

just drawmaxx until u do it right

[hybrid orchid]

I think cracked glass would make it look cool, and maybe make the eyelashes a little less evenly distributed

But i rlly like the art

And i think the glitchy eye is sick asf

[gloomy dust]

Add slight width to the head/screen

[abstract quail]

Do line art exercises, and weigh the lines heavier on the underside and where lines connect(line weight)- drawing exercises(look some up) help with stability and familiarity of shapes.

The ribcage looks fine- but the hip bones are non-existent. Even if you are depicting a gaunt character, that just means the hip bones will be more prominent. The thigh gap looks wrong because the flesh front the front wraps to the back and connects to the legs. It looks seprate here. Some more dynamic posing could be helpful in terms of overall composition; look into drawing with perspective.

The character looks flat because of the posing; try to use perspective boxes and character overlap to give them more depth.

Kirta is free, open source, and works pretty well.

Focus on developing basic skills; composition, line structure, color theory, perspective, value, contrast, shape, depth, etc. Once those skills are hammered down, then you can start to imitate your favorite artists by studying the art you like and attemping to replicate(not trace or select from) theres. I would also suggest studying from real life and painting.

Looks pretty good- the neck looks like its missing a muscle.(left side)- it could just be that the shoulder is sagging though, and it looks fine. I would adjust the right pupil a bit to the left so it looks like both eyes are staring in the same direction.

[abstract quail]

It looks good; I think the color scheme is meant to be dragon ball z esc, but it hurts my eyes; this is because the colors in the actual show get faded a bit by the TV. I tried to create a similar effect, but it wasn't working, so i just reworked the colors a bit to make them less sharp(this is a personal taste thing). I think yours matches the show really well.

I should've changed the orange bits to match the cloves or the chest plate, in retrospect.

I made some mayo, please tell me if I could have done anything better.

[upper kindle]

Love what you did and yeah i see what you mean ill maybe try to had this in anyway thanks for the help

[vestal vale]

Thanks

I don't know how rendering works

[tough ivy]

how do i make it more unsettling

[abstract quail]

No problem; I don't have the best grasp on color theory for the record. You have a very solid grasp of shapes/depth, which is important for dragon Ball z esq styles; the line art is also good.

[upper kindle]

O well thank you

[teal cairn]

Haven't finished this piece yet but idk why the rendering looks off although the Sub- surface scattering on the hand is alright I just can't get to make the rendering on the face work

[abstract quail]

For line art; I would work on line weight; but in order for the lineart to shine, the character does too; humans move their arms around a lot, and I know its hard, but every time you draw hands you'll get better at it; the spine is also stiff, which I changed by bringing the shoulder into perspective. I used a color for reference as the background, and then stayed in that general range on the color wheel (for blue, go into pink-grey if you're background color is red) I had the hair interact with the shoulder to frame the face more, and I tilted the eyes side ways so it would wrap around the head; think in 3d will balls. I used lighter 'blue' colors in the eyes and shirt to contrast the red. What I would suggest is to practice shape fundamentals(drawing shapes to look 3d, like spheres, cubes, etc) and drawing from real life reference. For the lineart, I have a pressure tablet, which leads to better quality lineart in general, because it makes line weight more natural. Notice how your lines are all the same size? (you can fix that by adding line weight to the parts you want by going over them again. The folds in your clothing appear throughout the sleeve- instead of originating from a pinch point in triangle shapes(reference irl). It reminds me of some of my own drawings; you are doing very well, have a great day!

[vestal vale]

Thxxxx

[teal cairn]

It wasn't even my piece yet I learned so much 🤯 bro is an art god thxxx

[vestal vale]

how's this Sketch?

Should i do lineart?

[fluid agate]

Never hurts to try

Anyone know why I can't send an image in this channel?

nvm got it

proportions feel kinda funky to me, could I get another opinion

[teal cairn]

The knees are a Lil too slant maybe try making them a bit higher

Here's the finished piece I can't figure out the background what can I do ?

[mint sandal]

Hmmm, the first thing that came to my head was a medieval stage, throne, cliff, or house? Like, maybe you walk into his house and catch him admiring the skulls of those he has killed? Something like that.

[royal sluice]

the legs don't connect to the torso correctly. You have to keep in mind how the pelvis and hip bones work. I'd suggest looking up some people sitting references

[royal sluice]

make more spooky parts visible. Cus right now I don't even know what it is supposed to be, it just looks like shapes in the void

[royal sluice]

It's not bad, but the hand is too small in relation to the face. The hair also doesn't seem to have a set part. Try lining one up and having the hair flow from there.

And unless it's the art style your going for, the head is too big. Remember, the torso is usually 2.5 to 3 heads long.

[tough ivy]

thanks!

[fluid agate]

yeah you're bang on thanks, hips are always my biggest hang ups

Hips and legs

[abstract quail]

Yeah, looks great! If it's not too presumptuous, I'm going to post some example images of cloth folds and shape practice, since those are art fundamentals that will make anyones art better. I would also suggest practicing with perspective grids; try to have an idea where your character is in space, and your composition will naturally improve, as you start to see your art in the 3d. One way to practice perspective is to take a grid(drawing your own can also help with understanding, but it's time consuming) and then draw a bunch of squares in perspective. I would look up some tutorials for practice and follow along for best outcomes.

I would post some tutorial links(I have a playlist on youtube), but I'm not sure if its allowed lol.

[vestal vale]

Y'all are a blessing from the lord

[abstract quail]

Thanks for the completement! (:

Heres a wip I just started;

[abstract quail]

If you'd like I can also post something about light/painting since that seems to be what you are practicing/learning right now.

[vestal vale]

Yesplease

[abstract quail]

Painting is a great way to learn how light/shading works because you art only working with the color and not the lines; start by picking a simple shape(like a mayonnaise jar) and then block out the colors. A good tip for painting beginners(when painting from memory) is to stay in a color range; Think anything in one section; for example, anything between orange and pink. When going darker; apply more saturated colors to bring out the darks. Painting from reference is extremely useful during this stage. I will be posting an apple painted from memory, and mayo painted from a photo. (this is the block out)

If you have a reference, from there you just have to try to copy as closely as possible; I started the apple specifically for this, so I can't post it as quickly, but I can show you the finished mayo. IMPORTANT: Your eyes rely on the colors around an object for context of what all the colors look like. When painting; block in all of the main colors of the scene, such as the background and foreground- this will help make sure the color context stays good. For bounce lighting I go into the grey-ish area on the color scale, to make it look blue.

Turns out I can't post links; look up "Light and Shadow - 10 Minutes To Better Painting - Episode 6" for a more detailed video into the topic- unfortunately discord is not the best format for information.

Summary: Find reference(try to use something with simple shapes, and apply your knowledge of 3d shapes from shape practice). Block out main colors- add shadow and light detailing(think about how the light interacts with 3d shapes- the more the light hits, the brighter/lighter in value and tone that area is). Then do this again and again until it becomes second nature, and you can pick the colors from memory. (it will be very frustrating at first, and there will be an ugly period that you will have to work through) I believe in you! You've got this!

(this isn't done, just finishing up for the day) might come back to it. Reflections are another thing, and they are annoying but very good looking.

I should've used a reference lol.

Note that the bottom 'blue' color, is actually grey. Also note that everything(including the 'blue') comes from the orange-pink area of the color wheel.(except the green) A general rule of thumb is saturated colors for shadows (and moving further down on the color wheel), while making a color less saturated and moving up the color wheel for light colors. You can also practice in black and white to get a better sense for saturation/values, which is another important art fundemental; it might be easier to start with that one, and then move on to color and color theory.

Cloth Practice examples(not mine);

Pinterest is a good site to find both references and art tips. If you look up art fundamentals on youtube you can find some great videos (I would give specific links, but this channel doesn't allow it) (:

Look up things like 'shape practice' on sites like pinterest to see how other artists are practicing the subject matter.

Thanks, wait till hes glossy lol (:

Having trouble making the Red arrow armour piece look correct, the green arrow piece is place how I want it, any advice for making it not look so wrong?

because the leg is turned at an odd angle for the outside of her thigh

[abstract quail]

It looks pretty good to me- making the red arrow dip curve around the leg like this could help;

[fluid agate]

oooh ofc, for some reason, even though the other two are covered at the top, I was still trying to force the way I imagine the top of them to look

But that's a lot better, Thanks

[abstract quail]

No problem dude; it looks really good, and your shape fundamentals are solid. Note; Overlap and combination of the shapes are not technically a part of the fundementals, but they are built off of them, and you do it very well. Have a great day (:

[abstract quail]

Wrote a very bare bones painting guide above. (just scroll up for a little bit)

[vestal vale]

Thxxx homieeee

Get this man a nobel prize

[abstract quail]

No problem; tell me if there are any issues so I can fix them.

[royal sluice]

I also think if its at the same placement of the other armor plate would'nt it be just a little bit further down the leg?

[abstract quail]

I don't think so; the other leg is tilted downward, so it makes sense that the one on the left is higher on the leg.

• to clarify, I meant higher than the other, not higher on the leg.

[royal sluice]

Ah oki

[soft sable]

so I made this drawing in my last year of elementary school and plan on recreating it on a different program(this is Paint 3d). I was wondering this question in my head, "how am I supposed to draw a picture of myself from a crappy sketch of me with horrible head radius?" i figured i would make a diffrent head shape, but I also suck at drawing heads so idk what to do now. i need to learn how to make good head plsss

[teal cairn]

Oooooooohhhhh that sounds like a great ideaaaaaa

[exotic flame]

any tips with potencial background and shadowing//lighting?

[vale kettle]

Oooooo. That looks cool

[teal cairn]

You could potenetially add light to dark grades as well as a tad more shading to really make the image pop

[abstract quail]

In my opinion, it's best to plan out backgrounds first because the colors look different depending on what's around them- I wrote a tutorial for it if you scroll up for a bit.

Essentially, since you used the grey color when you picked out the other colors for your image, it's only going to look right against that or similar colors. (I'm not an expert though, I could be wrong)

You could also just shift around all the colors a bit and give it a more firefly-nighttime vibe

[smoky sedge]

I think you should add extra different shades of colour into the character and maybe add extra lighting around the character and as for the background add harmonising colours that compliment ur character

what drawing pads do you guys use to do these drawings????

If anyone needs help with “female anatomy” if you get my drift then contact me DMs. I am really good at female anatomy

[pseudo flame]

in what way do you want to improve it? also really good vagabond drawing btw

[cursive radish]

Idk but I'm not sure if there is any way to improve the hair to look better maybe

@pseudo flame

But I think it's okay for now (I ignore the ears )

[compact stump]

Why is it so good? You got skills man. And it looks like you did it all in pen to.

[round pagoda]

just fill in the gap to avoid having white dot all over the place

[devout flax]

It looks bad

[left fjord]

I thought the Band-Aid was a mouth

[devout flax]

Whoops lol

[pseudo flame]

overall i'd say it really good to what your reference point is, if you want to improve your hairlines try to make your hairs more visible like they stick out

its hard to explain, but kinda like a plant stemming out from the ground as you can see from the original look of musashi
try to make those hairs at the edge stand out more than just blending them in with the other hairs

anyways does anyone here use aggie.io because i use it and i have no idea how to shade.

[lunar wind]

can someone tell me how to make this look related to the moon like a moon goddess ?

[exotic flame]

You could make her dress look like waves crashing since the moon does pull the tides

Maybe a more readable pose/ silhouette

2. Fix these damn shoes

[devout flax]

Wow! Thanks.

I mean my drawing

Dude just stop

STIP

litterally just stop

FREAKING STOP

what’s wrong with you

[devout flax]

I like the character design! I think to unify the character a little more you could choose a more similar color-pallet. Maybe a little less neon unless that’s the style you are looking for. For the shoes I think they just look a little silly because they are both facing inwards. I’d look up some feet anatomy :)) but it’s pretty good so far!

please stop. I have reported you

It’s not okay to steal other peoples art

And to tell people to sho0t themselves

What is wrong with you

Why are you being so rude

Do you need to talk to someone or something? You don’t seem like your doing okay if you are being so rude

If you’re going through a hard time we can chat.

Please stop being mean. Do you need someone to talk to?

[scenic warren]

Top ten advice of all time

[hallow fractal]

What yall think of when you heard the word"opposite"? And if you have to draw something base on that word, what will you draw for a final project?

[exotic flame]

Simplified color palette
Left New Right Old

[exotic flame]

Updated Version : Need to fix the feet but how's the Colors?

[ruby mountain]

no shading>

[exotic flame]

it's not done yet but I'm still kinda dooky with shading

[scenic warren]

Maybe for the shoes the same orange on the skirt and matching red straps

The pallet looks really cool

[exotic flame]

OK new version, change the shoes and the slightly changed the Position of her feet, I also changed her hair, I thought it didn't compliment her silhouette

[left fjord]

İs this okay?

[scenic warren]

I would define the shoulder muscles more but it's pretty good

[vast pagoda]

Yall fw mine?

[umbral temple]

how to draw

[cursive radish]

use pencil/pen (im a guy)

[runic wind]

dont forget to add both the trapezius muscle (the triangluar one that goes from your neck to your shoulder) as well as the clavical above the pecs. All the other stuff looks pretty anatomically correct tho

[umbral temple]

hi

[left fjord]

thx

[left fjord]

hi

[mossy solar]

how to make it better? erased guidelines without thinking about it but they were janky

[upper kindle]

Overall really cool but First i think the brush u use is a little to pixelised (maybe its wanted then its ok) and the muscle anatomie could be better do you want me to do a ref to show you a more accurate version (honestly would be down)

[upper kindle]

Actually was bored so i did it anyway (ps im maybe wrong at some places im still learning anatomie so

[upper kindle]

Honestly really think the biggest problem on youre drawing was the not existing deltoids but the rest was pretty good

[mossy solar]

Thank you so much, and yeah its not supposed to be pixel, i messed up the screenshot

[upper kindle]

Yeah sure

[left fjord]

in bed

[ruby mountain]

So when it comes to drawing you need to make it look good

[past badge]

Head way too big and the abs need to be bigger and muscle more defined, because you are just defining the outside lines which will not do good in the future
And fix the neck with the head if you do that
Other than that it’s good

Sorry if I’m too harsh it’s just what I noticed right away

[carmine stirrup]

why everyone drawing muscular man

[left fjord]

maybe it's to get to know the muscles better

[hollow summit]

muscle men are hot idk

Left old Right New Version

[left fjord]

Left leg kinda broken

[upper kindle]

Is it finall version or flat colored version yeah the second ones better but like it misses rendering and like she said i think the line you added on the boot makes it looks like her leg is broken maybe its a style choose im not really good with all of that stuff so

[exotic flame]

mmm i see whats wrong with her legs now

also i am very bad with shadowing and rendering...

[upper kindle]

Yeah i think it works a little better now but idk what ref you took to make it maybe the leg arent supposed to do that

[exotic flame]

i get the poses form orignal pokemon art and i go from there

[upper kindle]

O ok idk but i think maybe you messed up youre line work and it made it look like that (just guessin) cuz this leg cant go in that direction with this pose

Or no it can

But you will have to change some stuff to make it work

[exotic flame]

i erased the legs a couple times, i kept messing up and was indecisive with what kind of shoes i wanted

yeah, i was more focused on the type of boots then the pose of the legs--

Im guessin you understood the problem ill let you solve it on youre own for now

Don't get me wrong, but if you draw with your finger, you should at least try an animation, it's more enjoyable and you don't need to draw well.

Like foot stick man I gues

[left fjord]

so if you want to improve at drawing stick man, you can do things like animation.

[patent bobcat]

Ok ty

[lime shale]

best advice is copy others to learn how they render and use that info to get good

copying is fine as long as you arent going online and posting exact copies as your own

watching others go through the rendering process is also a good way to learn since they usually point out key things you should be thinking about as you color and render

tppo on youtube posts some great render analysis

what can i do to improve this

[scenic warren]

honestly not much, i would consider redrawing it a little bigger so the line show better or using something finer like a pen, and maby shift the left cannon a bit to the left so it stands out more

[exotic flame]

What color should the middle be?

[glossy bison]

Flesh

[sweet bluff]

Is there some gartic animator that made the transition into animation software here ? 🥹

ho do i draw a very realistic eye

Just look up pictures of eyes there mainly circle shapes/ almond or lemons

Just get use to how the roundness of different eyes are and then focus on how the coloring and lighting reflects off them

[remote stone]

Can anyone help me come up with design ideas for a cow OC that's in the style of a Sonic character?

[vestal vale]

Alright so first make a reference board with a bunch of cows and sonic characters and whatever else you might need for inspiration and take the defining features of a sonic character (usually thin limbs, large shoes and gloves, big head and eyes and F U R) and take the defining features of a cow (black and white, milkers ( ), cow ears and bells for earrings and cow's tail)

And start trying stuff out

[remote stone]

Yeah, how do u show udders on a clothed cow? Or, is that too risque to even show.

But, I totally would've forgot about the earrings! Thanks for that reminder!

[vestal vale]

The oc will be female right?

[remote stone]

Only idea I had is that she's one of those white cows with brown spots actually and has a gun she shoots chocolate milk out of! 😂🤣

[remote stone]

Yeah, a cow, not a bull.

I thought maybe make her body round like classic Sonic, ya know? Cuz' fat cows are fat.

[vestal vale]

Yeah that'd def make for an interesting design

[vestal vale]

You know how sonic characters have like

[remote stone]

White cow, brown spots, maybe not gold earrings but silver (cuz' I love silver alot more than gold) and a silver bell, too. As for clothes...no idea yet. Not even sure of a name.

[vestal vale]

A skin colored part at the stomach

[remote stone]

Right

[vestal vale]

You could make use of that for the spots

Or one large spot

[vestal vale]

How about a ranch-girl design

Cowboy boots and a hat maybe?

[remote stone]

Well, if she's clothed, u wouldn't see that unless...it's a crop top and skirt type of outfit.

[vestal vale]

Yeah a crop top would go hard with the cowgirl look

[remote stone]

Oohh, cowboy boots are sick.

OMG! Duh...cowgirl! I love that pun!

🤣

[vestal vale]

I'm cooking

[remote stone]

And, a freaking braided hairstyle?!

[vestal vale]

could be where the milk comes from?

Just thinking of possibilities

[remote stone]

But, what color hair? Probably not blonde cuz' Elsa vibes.

[vestal vale]

Brunette ofcccc🙄🙄🙄

Works well with the brown spots

[remote stone]

No, she makes her own milk. It's that myth about chocolate milk coming from brown cows except it's real, in this case.

[remote stone]

Ok, but, dark brown spots and light brown hair or dark brown hair and light brown spots?

And, I wanna incorporate pink into the design. Idk, lipstick, the outfit and hat, maybe?

[vestal vale]

Sooo:

Cowgirl aesthetic
Cow girl sonic the hedgehog
Braided brown hair
Crop top, colored spot on the stomach brown
Cowboy boots
Cowboy hat maybe
Cow's ears
Silver bell earrings

[remote stone]

Imma screenshot that.

[vestal vale]

Something like this maybe?

As like your color palette

Works well with the chocolate

[remote stone]

I see! Hell yeah!

Where does the black come in?

[vestal vale]

That's up to you tbh

Try out a couple of designs first

Braids or no braids, hat or no hat, skinny or chubby

[remote stone]

I appreciate all ur help. Thank u.

[vestal vale]

And then you'll see where the black can come in

Ofc the lineart will be black coz sonic art style

[vestal vale]

Npppp

You can send me the designs you come up with

[remote stone]

Nope, I got it...the skirt and top have line strip be black and pink.

[vestal vale]

[remote stone]

Like a pink top with a black strap and a black skirt with a pink strip at the top of it.

[vestal vale]

Yeah i can see that

Maybe you could try the straps to be brown or a different color that compliments both black and pink

Still, send me the designs tho i wanna seeeee

[remote stone]

I will.

[royal sluice]

I feel like the perspective is off but I don’t know what I need to fix

[normal belfry]

is there anything wrong other than the arms & shoulders?

[vestal vale]

The knee and the foot connect a little weirdly

[vestal vale]

The eyes are a tad big always make sure there's at least an eye's worth of space between the two eyes unless it's your style

I reccomend doing some proportions/anatomy practise to really nail the neck and shoulders and how they flow into the arms

I suck at the shoulders and neck too tho so i feel ya😭

And for the hands, use your own hands as reference and then start with the silhouette by drawing kind of an oven mitten, then add the details

How do you guys get so good at drawing stuff in gartic so quickly? I usually end up with shit like this when i try to make something look good

It usually ends up like this and then the timer runs out or someething

And how to just draw faster in general

[edgy ingot]

honestly just try to rush it, even if it comes at the cost of it actually looking good

though if you want to cook try joining some longer rounds

[vestal vale]

I be fkn shi up at the longer rounds

Like I played a couple rounds today and like half the drawings got ruined coz i couldn't finish it fast enough

[edgy ingot]

issue of skill

jokes aside with gartic you don't really have a choice but to rush things

try just drawing a general frame instead of going all out

idk im no artist by any means

unless you consider random models in a roblox game art

(Most people don't 🐟)

[bitter turret]

Why can’t I send my art

Brokie

[quiet ocean]

just dont overcomplicate it

[quiet ocean]

rely on brush strokes rather than drawing the hairs individually, draw them in chunks then shade later on

all of takehiko inou's art relies on brush strokes to define the character's hair

How do I fill the negative space?

[foggy valve]

You could try adding similar elements from the drawing to the background—or add Shapes if you choose to do so. I'm not really an expert, but that just what gets my drawings done.

Btw your art is very cool!! ^^

You should add darker shades to the background too—it gives good results if done correct.

Maybe try adding body parts? Since it seems your art is related to that.

Like the intestine, liver, lungs, and so on.
