I like your sideviews and front the best.  Those are better learning angles IMO.

@IronCroc Thank ya! : D

Well my sideviews and fronts continue below in my face studies.

Here's a nice illustration of some TOTS characters I did, along with a.... uh guy.

Next up is a little slip of two fronts and a 3/4 of some characters
Lastly we have a hoge podge of characters, some familiar and others in some interesting face structures.
Finally not a face study more of a charcol rub draw.

Alright.

The shading on your  teapot needs a bit more definition. Right now as it stands, the pear looks shinier than the teapot, but even so, the shapes are decent but the background blends in too well with the objects.

For example,  a bit more contrast in the teapot's spout would be good; notice how the background is darker next to the spout; Perhaps if you used your eraser to take more of the charcoal away you could have gotten a bit more contrast.

Unless the handle of that teapot is black, try to get in as many of the features as you can when you do drawings like these. Since you don't have the luxury of color, all your shading and highlights comes from your charcoal and (if I'm not mistaken) eraser.

Moving onto the tablecloth (Or is that a barrel?)  It looks like it's part of the fruit, and even the teapot.   I'd say you need a bit more definition there too.

I almost didn't see the ball sitting next to that teapot. That should pop more. Stand out. :)

Now, all of that being said, this style of drawing isn't easy to do, but once you master a few techniques your skill will go far.


Keep practicing; keep it up!

It's very wobbly.  If you draw bigger and shrink down, it'll look a lot smoother.  Still, it shouldn't be that wobbly.  Check your brush settings, it looks like the spacing might be too high.  Also, try to do things in single, long strokes as much as possible.

The lines look better.  Are you using a mouse?  If so, you should learn to use a pen tool, it'll be a lot easier to get the edges nice and clean.  Getting a smooth stroke out of a mouse is just not what they're built for.

I am using a tablet, but the problem might be what tool I am using within the program. Right now I am using the chrome pencil which isnt the best for sharp turns, I'll experiment a bit with different tools to see what's better for me.

Huh.  What art program are you using?  Some are better at tablets than others.

Okay.  *checks out chrome pencil*  Oh wow, no wonder your edges are unsteady.  It's a really interesting tool, but it's terrible for making cel shaded character art.  Try the gpen instead and turn on weighted smoothing in your tool options.

Okay yeah I'll try out the gpen, but could you tell me where to find it. I cannot seem to locate it.

6th line down on the right in the brushes palette or in the brush menu under brush engines - pixel about half way in.  It looks like a rapidograph pen, though I seriously doubt you've heard of those since people have been using computers for drafting for a very long time now.

Edit:  There are two, the exact names are Ink_gpen_10 and Ink_gpen_25

Old drawing of the old designs of Dubay and Clarence, boy I was pretty sketchy then. Even more than now...

This ones ancient, it was an attempt back in the day to draw chibis of the old tots cast.

I'll be drawing something new eventually. I did say I would finish some bust portraits for two people, but I wasn't too happy with them at the time and  think I can do better.

How many parameters is 'too many'??
Yay, now back in action Happy Christmas time, coming back!






Back in action to develop the indie game that has been long overdue... Final Fallacy. A game that keeps on giving! The development never ends as the developer thinks to be the smart cookie by coming back and beginning by saying... "Oh bother, this indie game has been long overdue..." How could one resist such? No-one c
So I was playing with filters and this looked interesting...

Versus the normal look...

Kind of gives a very different feel. :LZSexcite:
To whom ever person or persons who re-did the DS/DS+ asset packs for MV (as in, they are all 48x48, and not just x2 the pixel scale) .... THANK-YOU!!!!!!!!! XwwwwX
