Ges, PM meh
Kept forgetting to post it. My newest piece of work. This oc is how I got my online alias
Also I was trying a different art style
Cool
That's actually legitimately awesome. Can I get a triumphant grin?
ah yes
ill fix it rn
better??
Maybe angle down the eyebrows slightly and it will look fantastic
I was browsing my art page and I found that I contributed to a meme
2011 looks better
Well!
In terms of coloring, you certainly have improved, although I suspect you might have shaded with some black on the digital piece and shading with black is not a good idea??
However, the anatomy is what strikes me the most of having started out fine but then seemingly getting worse? in 2018, your OC's torso is too long, and so are the legs. The general angle the body is turned toward doesn't really make any sense??
this is something i did in..... 2013??
and heres a working sketch!! in the now.
Ah no. That's my art style now. I draw the "Long limbed Bratz Doll head" art style.
There's only so far the art style excuse can go, Trini.
Oh shit
Shots fired shots fired
Critical hit
._. So tell me.. how come with me, the art style is horrible but yet, Animators and artists like tim burton are praised for their art? He makes characters skinny too. Butch Hartman: He has skinny characters as well? Naoko Takeuchi? She makes her characters skinny beyond belief? How come with me my art is bad for being too skinny or too long but when other popular artists do it they are praised?
Give characters an ass like Baeyonetta then they would be fine
Alright, I think you might also be assuming I look up to those artists (I don't), so thanks for that.
More over to the point, I'm speaking as someone who has a different road on development on art, and I explained what I thought was off in your 2018. If you really want to bring up popular artists, then yeah, some people love their art styles, some don't. I'm not trying to be like them so I won't comment further on it.
Even if they are too long, I still try to match the body portions. If the legs are too long, then I match the torso and the arms. Head too big but not the hands? Then I try to match the hands. Imo "Too skinny" or "Too Long" is not good enough criticism. Every time I hear that it's by people who think an art style in a girls cartoon sets bad examples for young girls. "Ew Winx club? The art style is horrible and a bad example because little girls look up to that and will starve themselves to look like them" Basically nobody can enjoy anything because apparently it's bad. It's a trivial argument and it's getting annoying. I draw slender girls and guys. That's my art style. Plenty of people have similar art styles, that doesn't make it bad or wrong.
yes I'm triggered. The whole criticism of a person's signature art style is trivial and I usually see that by SJW artists who bash on another artist for drawing characters too skinny. That's the reason I left tumblr, because I felt like my art style wouldn't be accepted. Everyone draws differently.
Trini, I honestly couldn't care less about about cartoons setting bad examples for children and making girls starve themselves. That is a whole another argument I'm not getting into. What I'm saying is that I am coming from a _technical_ perspective.
I saw your art, and I thought it looked off. Like I said, the angle the body is at looks weird and misaligned. The torso goes to a sharp curve toward the hip, making her barely have a waist. You should be able to see some of the other shoulder even if the hair is covering it up. The other shoulder should face more forward, like more to the side. Her breasts should also face more to the side. Besides from what I perceive as too long, the arm also seems floppy, like it doesn't have a bone.
There.
You can take it or leave it, Trini, I can't tell how you draw. I'm only giving you some advice based on my perspective on art, that is all.
