Wafu~

You bean, this isn't bad. But your skills are far too rough, just like your lines! Minimalize the number of strokes it takes you to draw something; from simple shapes such as squares to complex ones such as facial features or clothes. If you have trouble getting the proper shape and have to make several strokes just to see what seems best, make sure you make them soft so you can erase them later and finish it off with a minimal amount of strokes.

Take a look at, for example, fold on Kud's hat. I took you at least seven strokes to make that line or at least went over it several times, not to mention you did so quite roughly. You should be able to do it in two, or maybe even one if you can manage it. If it looks weird, instead of going over it repeatedly until it looks fine, erase it entirely and try again. Again, do so gently otherwise there'll be marks left. Also, scanners typically pick up smudges, even when you draw neatly. Why? Well, the part of your hand that rests on the paper as you draw (the hand holding the pencil) typically picks up graphite/lead as it drags itself across the paper. As it rubs itself on the paper, it creates smudges. Well damn.

On that note, I've seen Japanese artists prevent this (on YouTube) by placing a folded paper beneath their drawing hand, to reduce any possible smudging. Just a little tip out there :I

Stroke work aside you seem to be in a good path (though if you're anything like me you'll need to look at anatomy later on)

sorry for the long post LOL

It's alright, I've seen/created much longer/am doing it right now

Seems fine, though I wouldn't worry much about the BG. I think her palm is ing the wrong part of the face with that pose. Her hand should be ing the cheek, in other words the palm must be at around mouth/jaw level, not eye level. If that is the case, her palm should also be positioned horizontally, so as to properly counteract the vertical force of gravity acting on the head. The hand should be more like this: ---- and less like this \ . Not entirely horizontal though! Just turned a bit counterclockwise.

UNLESS she is just like brushing away her hair or something in which case ignore this '~'

They say that if we lived closer (like, real goddamn close) to the galactic center, the sky would look much like this, due to the massive amount of stars giving us light. We'd be in perpetual daylight.

Everyone here is so good!

Messy rough draft. Somebody tell me anything that's wrong with this picture (other than the lines looking messy :/) I want to improve.

The lines looks messy

Proportions, limbs (arms, legs) are composed of two main parts, ed by a knee or elbow. In any case these parts should be equal in length to each other. Typically half of an arm's length equals a head, though that only applies to grown men/women. In teenagers and children it's somewhat shorter, and in lolis/chibis it's dramatically shorter than that. Anyway in your pic Shizuru's (I think that's her, I haven't played either galge) forearm is too long. Since it's necessary that she keep her hand on that patch, just have her raised at a higher angle, while shortening the forearm.

Azusa is fine, although the top of her head is too... High.

Keep drawing pls

Thanks for the tips! I'll try to apply them for the line art.

So the head is high again. I always have that problem..

trying to change of style a bit.. i hate to draw animeish stuff. drawing these didn't make me improve in any way (that's what i feel at least). i tried to draw a girl a bit more more realistic. it's hard to do when you have been drawing cartoonish stuff all the time but i'm trying :> not bad for my first try tho. i think i'll try to learn how to paint with photoshop. i don't like paint tool sai as much as before..

Thanks, the hands you see there are actually mine, that is to say, I positioned my hand as I liked and then drew what I saw. It's not that hard, just annoying as you become limited to working with a single hand. The shadowing is the most annoying, since it can change dramatically, with a single wobble...

more importantly, non-anime

i dont know about u but if i could draw perfectly in an anime style i'd be pretty damn happy

have u even seen some of the art!??!?!

i dont understand why there is this stigma against anime art and i think u should grow up

yes im butthurt

Stop being so butthurt. He didn't say anime is not art nor is it not good.

Drawing in an non-anime style gives room for more realistic proportions and a better understanding of the human anatomy.

People who hastily tackle on drawing anime might overlook proper anatomy and will get used to drawing big eyes, same poses, unrealistic hair, etc.

no it's nothing to do with overlooking realistic styles and studies, it's because there's a ubiquitous circlejerk among people who think themselves to be above the practice of watching such animation, and this prejudice bleeds into the art-style as a whole and it gets on my tits

god damn it

this is all the more obvious if you look at the cartoon style he's trying to achieve... logically, it should suffer the same symptoms as you described for rushing into anime art, but still it's anime art specifically that he seems to be avoiding.

While that proves to be true most of the time, there are those like me who use an "anime"esque style as a way to improve our own concepts and notions.
It can prove rather helpfull to try different styles, not mattering our personal position towards the style.

OFF-TOPIC: Please relax and watch some anime ^^ it would do you good, as you seem to possibly have hypertension or high stress levels.

While I agree with you to some extent, he still has the right to decide the style he should use and/or like the most. As long as he doesn't criticise (not sure about the spelling) others for using an "anime"esque style, or tell them to try to demerit the anime art, he is, in no way, harming the work and effort of others.

On a side note:

I could simply not avoid laughing my ass off at such a seemingly "intimate" remark.

Quaraezha wrote: 412240

what

The container you use is completely irrelevant to anatomy and proportions. Every depiction of a human is based of real anatomy, and various styles shift and bend it, artists personalize their ways of drawing people so that they stand out. Manga and Anime work has not at all necessarily less anatomy and proportions involved, but

People frown upon manga and anime work because it's generic, it is an already existent "style", rather than developing your own. Rather than getting angry at people choosing not to draw and paint like everybody else, you should encourage it and have them build up their own style of work. Innovation is what makes a good artist, and standing out from the rest is what gets your name out. By all means, draw and paint in any category you like, but don't expect progress if you limit yourself to only practicing manga/anime.

Happy Birthday, boat.

certainly, i'm not saying he or anyone else has to work within the constraints of that style, and diversity is a good thing. the only thing that gets me is when people instantly write off the whole spectrum of art that you can find within that sphere. ive got no personal quarrel with anyone... more than anything just wanted to rant a bit

[ill bow out, this is pretty off topic]
