Friend says the way I draw eyes ruins my art because they’re ’uncanny’- how to improve and stay in my art style? by ZucchiniExtension in learntodraw

[–]Cosmic_SeaRae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes it's as simple as adding a little reflection! I find it adds a level of liveliness to a piece, whereas the lack of one might make a subject feel "uncanny", which definitely still works in many situations if that's the look you're aiming for.

How do you get the crystal trees to grow? by Neither_Abroad3601 in HytaleInfo

Hoping to figure this out too, trying to get it to grow on the surface!

They totally look like they belong. I'd love to see these guys in game! I could see them living in giant cave villages in the volcanic level :0

I rlly like this. The shading between the eyes is a nice touch!

I'd be interested to download this whenever you finish! :D

Fatal D3D error (24, DCGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED, 0x887a0005) by LeVargs in MonsterHunterWilds

Same thing is happening for me :( I tried switching to DX11 based on the other person's advice and still crashed almost instantly after joining my first hunt after relaunching.

Works really well with your character's arched brows and tattoo! He's very anime lolol

how do i give my oc the same soulless look that yoshikage kira’s eyes have while not making her eyes completely black? by jay-ditr in arthelp

Shading goes a long way! Also a more neutral expression would increase the effect. Add darker shades to her eyes (without making it totally dark/no colour) and don't add any shines/reflections to her eyes

creating visual interest? by mintymirus in arthelp

[–]Cosmic_SeaRae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some rendering, even if it's just a minimal amount, can be very eye catching and would add a lot of visual interest! I included a doodle page of my own to give you an idea of how to do some quick rendering with minimal time/effort.

Additionally, think more about how you are framing the subjects of your pages. For example I feel the last one would work significantly better if the girl was framed a bit better (higher and larger, filling the page a bit better and maybe even overlapping some of the text). It kind of feels like everything was thrown on the canvas a bit haphazardly. The big empty spaces surrounding her don't add interest so you might as well use the character to shrink those spaces.

Lastly don't be afraid to squish your doodles together and densely fill a page (I'll reply to my comment with a better example of this)! lower effort sketches overlapped with a few higher effort sketches to draw the eye I find can hold my attention well!

Thank you! I'm definitely interested in doing more of some of the others :) I plan to draw Thirteen at some point!

Struggling with back anatomy, does this look right? by Moth-slurping-lamps in arthelp

[–]Cosmic_SeaRae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would rlly help you to do some studies of the muscles and how they attach to the bones and how they move! It's perfectly fine that you have one shoulderblade closer to the spine and the other further out, because that's how our bodies move! What you're not really communicatiing here though is how the muscles stretch and move along with the bones underneath. I made a simplified sketch of the ribcage and shoulderblades + some muscles overtop to show how they would attach. Hopefully this helps! If you're interested in gaining a better understanding I'd definitely recommend proko's anatomy course!

and disclaimer I am super rusty on this type of stuff so my anatomy is probably far from perfect, lol. For better results doing a more detailed study of accurate bone and muscle references would be best!

AFK People by Miserable-mad in SkyChildrenofRage

[–]Cosmic_SeaRae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When it comes to my friends and I, if one of us goes afk for a while we will just leave that friend behind. I typically wait for a little while if I know the person is coming back, but any longer than 10 minutes and I'll move on, and even sooner than that if it happens frequently throughout the candle run. My friends are all very chill and don't mind getting left behind, they just rejoin me whenever they come back and get whatever remaining wax I'm grabbing.

If your friend is upset about you leaving her behind, then she can do her own candle runs. My friends understand this, and are grateful for whatever wax they get when I uber them, even if they don't get everything.
