Okay, have one more drawing. Could not help but become distracted while writing some lab reports. The mixture of cold espresso, a can of red bull, and two cubes of sugar is able to put even a dead man on the overdrive mode. Any critique, opinion is welcome.

Waitwhat? I didn't realize other MotK goers were heading to AN! I'll be there too, if you find any interest in finding me. I'll be the guy with kinda long brown hair and apathetic aura. Descriptive, eh?

But seriously, Herring, you are freakin' kickass, and you should make a thread. RIGHT NOW. Do it! You've already made me incredibly jealous of your skills!

Oh look, I got an image in my signature. Finally.

Nice to meet you, this is my first post here.
Sketched a Sanae. I was having too much fun with the airbrush tools and opacity settings. >_>

There's also something wrong with her arms. And her face. And it seems like Yukari somehow managed to border her legs away. Heh...
Also, is the Yuyuko last name thing for every time you post?

First of all, welcome! Glad to see another artist on the board.

I do not know what kind of program you used, but the outline seem to be blurry. So, give some discretion when playing with opacity/density option. Now, let's talk about some points you have made about your work. I am certainly not the most qualified person to talk about it, but yes, I do see some points where it could use some touch-ups.  Firstly, the distance between her eyes is too great. Since you have not drawn her nose, it is hard to put down the point of reference, but I think her right eye should be shifted towards to left by .2 - .3 cm. Secondly, the jaw line and neck seems to be awkward. Drawing proper jaw line is a pain up the ass if you do not get it right. Just look at me and how I suffer from the problem. Now about the neck, it does not connect the head and the rest of the body right. I am feeling her whole body is twisted in some unnatural ways. I think because of this problem, you were feeling uneasy about her arms. Lastly, drawing legs is hard but, you should give sense of their position through shadows and I am seeing possibly three possible combination for legs' position. Give more depth/contrast to her skirt would fix it right.

Hope you are not offended by my comments and happy drawing.

Actually, the way you fiddled with the opacity settings gave the picture a sort of soft look to it. I really like the colors.
But yeah, I would color the skirt with more shading to emphasize the position of the legs.

it has literally been almost two years now since I seriously tried to draw characters. Going through this art section and seeing people improve, seeing people's first posts be such wonderful works of art, I am BURNING for it, the creative voice that has so long been dead is SCREAMING, I got the feeling that I had to draw RIGHT NOW and a pen and sketchbook were immediately in my hand, a sketchbook I have not touched since high school....!

I feel like if I can get back into art, I will rekindle something beautiful that I have lost. In this sketchbook are some of the best drawings I have ever made in my llife. Everything else I've had laying around were things from my college class that were made when I was super depressed and doubtful of my skill. This sketchbook is full of my dreams!

I must practice practice practice. Animu faces and the human figure, gird thy loins! THIS HAND OF MINE IS BURNING RED

This picture ought to be required viewing for budding artists who feel like there's no way their work will ever improve enough to be worthwhile.

it's got a kind of soft and dreamy structure I don't usually see

Do you have a deviantart, or some place with finished work?

@pineyappled
Herring already gave you some beautiful feedback on the Sanae, so I'm not going to tarnish that with my own attempt, but I would like to say that I like your stuff. Keep posting it. Also, I like how each consecutive picture feels a little better (though, keep drawing bodies, they're good).

@Red_Herring
Niiiiice. Drawing backgrounds is something I've never been a bad enough dude to do, so whenever I see someone who does it really well (especially when it involves hatching) I find myself staring at the screen grinning.
The only thing I would point out that maybe you could work on is the anatomy--Yukari's left leg and Reisen's right arm in particular are a little bit long, and have a bit of a thing going where they feel just a little too flat against the page (as in, they're parallel with the page, instead of being angled slightly in or slightly out??if that makes any sense at all).


And, because I always feel a little bit strange posting here if I haven't drawn anything myself, here is the result of half an hour waiting for Wine to build prefixes last night.

@ S. Nazerine

Ah, many thanks. However, please do not hesitate to voice your opinion because having more comments on the subject opens up opportunity for better criticism. On that principle, I would like to make some comments on your work.

Firstly, you should think about the texture. I know it might sound unnecessary, but it certainly adds another dimension to any work, especially the monochrome ones. Personally, I think hatching for shading skin area is not that great. If you are working with traditional media, give thin layer with 4B pencil then rub the area with Q-tips. Then, use eraser to highlight some area. It takes long time to get it right, but is very satisfactory. Also, when you are hatching, start from light area to dark because hatching adds new shaded area constantly. If you are dead-set about that rough feel, give some consideration to HB or higher grade pencils, ball-point pens, or just use effect sets in Photoshop after scanning the work.

Secondly, give some touch-ups for neck-shoulder area and left wrist. Judging from the angle of her head, I am assuming you took 'slightly from bottom' view. That said, her neck should be shorter, and therefore shifting shoulder and torso upward. Also, the apex of her breast should be higher unless she has sagging racks. The wrist-to-hand for her left could use shaving off that thick outline and turn it more outward.

I think that is it for now, and keep those drawings coming!
