When I draw monsters I always imitate the sounds they would make as I draw.
Sounds like bullshit but it's a real game changer, it gives them expressions that I would never be able to draw otherwise.

when i draw something expressive or like a monster growl i contort my face a little without thinking about it

>>7187275
>sounds bullshit
nah that's a technique professional animators and comic artists use to shape human mouths, makes sense it'd help form animal expressions too. so good call!
also neat monster, kinda giving "wrongly reanimated fossil"

>unconsciously doing the expression while drawing it
does anyone also do this?

>>7187164
"Feeling" something tells me nothing about how to draw it. Neither does looking at it or sculpting it. I can't figure out any way to make a subject suggest to me how it might be depicted using lines on a page.

>>7187071
This.

>>7187071
>>7187076

Yes, yes, I wanted it to be as trashy as the Folsom Street fair.

>>7187082

It's called an artstyle and I'm sorry you don't have taste. Go enjoy your generic anime drawings and hyperrealism.

>>7187093
>turns out it's a dunning kruger schizo
And nothing of value was lost kek.

>>7187174

Post your artwork, show me why I'm so terrible.

>>7187025
focus on the areas of clothes which are pressed against the skin, this is just the same as seeing her form.
so I mean her breasts, waist, ribs/back, hips/pelvis, ass, and very upper thigh.
if these aren't enough to guide you then I suggest you study the skeleton more!
you cannot see her legs, but you can infer their position by understanding proportion and her center of gravity

>>7187267
looks like fucking shit though. just cause it is slapped on some semi-popular manga side project doesn't make it good. damn it gets more ugly the longer I look at it. so fucking bad.

This thread is really bringing out the dunning-krugers

>>7186997
Maybe the loomis was inside you all along.

>>7187119
Start now and find out in 20 years and ten thousand drawings. They draw a lot, anon.

>>7186962
Have you tried engraving copperplates?
If you haven't; you're a fag

>>7187097
You win only this time, I'm a fag.
But I can paint, sculpt and knit.

>>7187097
are you really an artist if you can't blow glass though?

>>7186962
You're not a real artist unless you draw by engraving shit in caves at pitch darkness

>>7186962
Have you made your own charcoal and drawn with it? Analouge photography??

>>7187117
Sculpting? Don't tell me it's just clay

>>7186954
John Constable, Flatford Mill

>>7186967
Yup figured it out as well

How do I remove the frame? Should I take it to someone or just remove the nails from the side and pull it out?

>>7186954
Looks like AI slop.

>>7186974
Better take it to someone who knows how to do it, so you don't fuck it up by accident. Where I live that would be a shop that sells panting and frames, idk if it's the same for you.

>>7186983
Yeah that seems like a better option. The frame is already busted so messing with it probably isn't a smart idea.

>>7186981
You're out of your mind.

>>7187288
I dunno, I couldn't get his tats right. Should prolly redraw it someday.

>>7186949
shading is utilizing light sources and 3d shapes. have a decent understanding of those then you can shade.

>>7187340
I always use references when I can, it helps my arts look less weird

>>7187148
>>7186949
attention all zoomers
stop putting squiggly lines on the cheeks of your characters
your collectively shared artstyle doesn't even look like anime
quit it

>>7187628
It wasn't meant to resemble anime, I personally think it looks cool

>>7187142
not him but if i make an acc on there, this is what i plan to do

>>7187454
An anti-AI policy. An in-browser glazing of your art to protect your art.

What is the best place to find long-term art job projects?

I made a cara account. another account to collect dust to tend to.

Posting exclusive to some new thing is kinda retarded, but you can always just, post to this AND still post to instagram? Like, at the same time? People seem to forget this when discussing "whats le best site?"

>>7186867
That one

easy

this weird creepy shit. Rockwell got some deep problems

>>7186867
That shirt looks real...

>>7187330
"A lively modern romance"? The menorah? The horned goat? The reversed words?
Can (((they))) be any more obvious?

>>7187235
improve visual library, meditate, and smoke cigarettes or drink a lot of coffee

>>7186810
they are lying.

Samefag, pathetic.

>>7187348
Site wide rulez

Also I really thing the quality of these threads is generally higher when less people are trying to post straight up coom.

>>7187802

Retard.

>>7187613
I haven't a clue what is it about but it's pretty good. I'm more impressed how many characters there are and that it's traditional.

Anyway, what do you anons dislike the most about this ref sheet? What's the most jarring or uncanny part?

>>7187892
>I'm more impressed how many characters there are and that it's traditional.

It was a nightmare getting all those characters to interact. I had to draw the scene three times to figure everything out.

In answer to your question, there's nothing really terrible about this character sheet, I think you just need stronger understanding of anatomy and musculature, because he seems rather flat and stuff at the moment.

>>7186719
Big Eyes, realistic body = tranime slop
Big eyes, big head, feet, hands = stylized sovl

>>7187058
why did digimon have to be so much better than pokemon on tv but never make a single good game :')

>>7187070
>so much better
ehhhh....i like that the character designs where made by the dragon ball guy

>>7187121
*were

>>7186719
if i can draw it it's good design. If i can't it's shit design

>>7186700
I cleaned my room yesterday
Or was it the day before...

>>7186700
A bit like OP, but with a computer, and more fecal matter on the wall.

unfinished paintjob on the walls
plastic chair
unused high school note books for sketches
alibaba laptop
chinese tablet with broken drivers for digital art
druid smell of semen everywhere
pirated photoshop cs5 that crashers every 2 hours
loomis pdfs

>>7186700
Handmade standing desk
Way too fucking big drawing table
Big lamp
Old laptop
Variety of inks and nibs
Mess
And some ambient music

>>7186694
This is why i got a sit/stand desk

>>7186688
JUST DON'T DRAW

you guys are all retarded
this is like working out, you need to abuse and beat your muscle up to build resistance
so what OP needs to do is get booty busted by a few big dudes and he will eventually be gucci to sit down all day

>>7186688
My neck hurts when I draw for too long. I have a screenless tablet and a laptop. The only way I'm comfortable drawing is when I'm hunched over to get in closer to my laptop screen, but because I need space to fit my tablet in front of the laptop, I have to hunch in more just so it's not so far away. I have to remember to take breaks once my neck starts hurting. Probably not going my back any favors either, but I've never had back pain from drawing, just my neck

>>7187594
I wanna fuck him first

>>7186621
This isn't real, I don't believe it

Getting really close to rotating the head of my OC in 3 point perspective correctly.

Is using a Rubik's cube a good tool for comparing my drawing's forms in perspective?

>>7187922
Good point, Didn't look right otherwise either.

>>7187924
Thanks for the tips! Never heard of magic poser and its exactly what I was looking for
Also, I was going more for a soft light. I guess it's back to the drawing board.

>>7187926
Judging by the way I move my Rubik's cube, the 3rd vanishing point at the top of the canvas can be moved wherever I want it.

> just draw a dot
if you need a dot, then a dot will not be enough. :<

>>7187921
Ignore the unhelpful retards ,they can't paint for shit probably. Here's my yassified version of your girl

Color exists in relation to other colors, so relatively dull colors can look vibrant when contrasting with opposite colors or against darker values. The black in this image is doing a lot of heavy lifting, if it were against a white background, it would look more dull.

>>7186453
just learning how to draw helps

>>7186453
Avoid the "superhero pose" western style animation uses. And that western fucking smug expression as well.
Anime uses that tired pose, hunched down shoulders, you know like waiting in line pose, unready for action, like people in real life. That's what anime does. Well at least since the 2000's onward it does.

>>7186451
kek

>>7186449
fuck man, i dont even know... i forgot what i was thinking but im pretty sure it wasnt supposed to be fleas lol

people used to go outside, surprised? you should try it yourself once in a while.

The internet didn't invent looking at people. Or photos. Or reference packs.

>>7186351
movies and pic related were already a thing

This particular artist evidently Copied so much Video Girl Ai or Iori's and Ichitaka's manga books when it was popular in japan
