Jenny PASWG artstyle

[vocal pasture]

So I’ve been having an issue with drawing this character but I wanted to draw on something different with the art style like Panty And Stocking. Any critiques and suggestions would be helpful.

[cobalt sphinx]

Is this the drawing of the character you did or the official art?

[vocal pasture]

Yea

[cobalt sphinx]

@vocal pasture id follow this

Gives a general break down of of the characters are drawn

[vocal pasture]

mhm ok

[vocal pasture]

I think I should change the pose of this drawing, bc I feel like this is traced, I'd better come up with some poses and try to draw the exact pose and make it look like the artstyle of the show

[vocal pasture]

Here’s the pose I drew today and I’d studied the pose, what do you think?

[vocal pasture]

Fixed pose and fixed the head angle, what do you think?

[cobalt sphinx]

Can you send me the original reference so I can compare it more accurately? @vocal pasture

[vocal pasture]

Uh yea sure here you go

[cobalt sphinx]

Thanks

The angle of the head is a little off

She’s looking up in the reference

The guideline you made makes it seem like it’s a 3/4 view

[cobalt sphinx]

This is kinda what your guidelines should look like for the head

When you draw upturned heads you draw a curved line for all the features

Same thing applies for downturned heads

The line of action is also off

You have it going through the left side of her chest when it needs to go in the middle to show the middle of the ribs

[cobalt sphinx]

Make sure you show the 3D form of the entire body

Separating it out in sections helps with breaking the figure down

[vocal pasture]

mhm… ahh I get it now okay I’ll certainly do that

[cobalt sphinx]

All of this applies generally for the entire body like the arms and legs

[vocal pasture]

Here’s what I’ve done so far is this good?

[cobalt sphinx]

It looks flat, you should add more dimension to it. If you go back to my draw over of the reference for the torso, you can see I didn’t just trace over the entire thing, I broke it up. This gives it the 3D effect

In your drawing I can’t see where you torso starts to turn, like the references does

Your shoulders are also level in your drawing, but they aren’t in the reference

That might be giving you a bit of trouble

[vocal pasture]

mhm... okay

[cobalt sphinx]

I recommend watching YT tutorials on how to properly draw the body

[vocal pasture]

Updated WIP pose

[cobalt sphinx]

That is much better

Not exactly the same as the reference but could work as another pose

One thing I do notice is that the chest looks a bit too high up

It looks a bit odd so I’d move it down just a smidge

[vocal pasture]

mhm how’s so?

[cobalt sphinx]

Like the chest itself looks too high

I might be wrong though

[vocal pasture]

I’d tried to fix the chest a bit, what do you think?

[cobalt sphinx]

There we go!!

Moy bien (very good)

That definitely fixed the issue

The cross contour line you have for the face is a bit off and if you were to use it your face wouldn’t be lined up correctly

Just move the vertical line to the middle of the chin and you should be good!!

The horizontal line could be tilted a little bit as well

Other than that it looks really good, you’ve improved so much

[vocal pasture]

ok

[vocal pasture]

I’d managed to fix the pose by making the torso lean a bit and used stick figures to make it look good, what do you think of it?

[cobalt sphinx]

That definitely makes it look more like the reference!

[vocal pasture]

And now I’m drawing the artstyle with that same pose and drawing the artstyle of the pose with panty and stocking style

[neon swallow]

tgat right arm is kidn of short, id recommend making it longer

[vocal pasture]

k

[vocal pasture]

Oh do you mean the left arm?

[neon swallow]

no the right arm

[vocal pasture]

Ohh right

My mistake

[vocal pasture]

Fixed the right arm... and here's the head style

[vocal pasture]

I’d somehow made it a bit more geometric to make it look accurate what do you think so far?

[cobalt sphinx]

The top of the head should be a tad bit higher

It looks like it got squished

[vocal pasture]

mhm okay

Anything else?

[vocal pasture]

What about this?

[cobalt sphinx]

Are you trying to be more realistic or follow the PASWG style?

The last one you did looks more like the PASWG style than the one you currently did

[vocal pasture]

mhm

Yea I did noticed that

[vocal pasture]

Here’s what I’ve done

[cobalt sphinx]

Yeah that looks more like the style

I would maybe extend the feet a tad bit

[vocal pasture]

which feet the one in the right or the left?

[cobalt sphinx]

Both of them

But only a little bit

I think the feet are a little longer than what you drew (iirc)

[old schooner]

You have a couple of tangents, which is something you should definitely avoid

[vocal pasture]

I’d redrew the pose and well here’s what I’ve done

[old schooner]

Nice

[cobalt sphinx]

There ya go!

That looks so much closer to the style

The style itself is really modern and geometric

Just remember that when you draw it

[vocal pasture]

Welp… Here’s the character I wanted to draw in this style, it’s basically a robot girl from a cartoon show in 2003

[cobalt sphinx]

Oh yeah, that looks really good so far!

Can’t wait to see the final product

[vocal pasture]

Here’s what I did actually

[cobalt sphinx]

Yeah that looks super good!

[vocal pasture]

Hold on… I’ve been cooking. How’s this?

[vocal pasture]

How’s this?

Anything I should fix or is this fine?

[cobalt sphinx]

Looks fine to me!

[vocal pasture]

K… someone said that “the facial structure doesn't sync to the head.”

[cobalt sphinx]

Well it’s supposed to be cartoony so I don’t see why it can’t break the normal proportions 🤷‍♀️

[vocal pasture]

I’d wanted to make it look like paswg artstyle of eyes

[cobalt sphinx]

Uhm I would study how the artist draws the eyes in the show
