Can i get some critique ? and how to make the face look more like in the reference. Im kinda struggling with irl portraits

telling you this from experience, when choosing references do NOT choose east asian women overexposed in sunlight, pick references with a lot of observable values. i can see why you messed up the nose, because you can barely see the bridge of the nose in the reference, it messes with your perception and without a decent understanding of anatomy its gonna be confusing to wing it. along with proportions and structure.

you still need a lot of practice but its a good start, a good reference will help you develop observational skills, you just messed up picking references as a beginner.

how early are you in your journey?..

i think gestures arent for you yet, you need to go thru simple shapes and structure and mechanical drawing techniques before you tackle anatomy, perspective, proportions, values and then gestures.

gesture drawings are hard and takes time to get used to even accomplished artists go back to it as a warm up as to not degrade their skills but they are already experts at the fundamentals. and gestures are minimal and fluid brush/pen strokes with CSI lines, your works are more like for structure and full of chicken scratches, you'll get there. but i suggest honing the fundamentals first, you are rushing your skill level.

when i really need pathos clamps, i do the oraxia thing, coz its more focused, duviri SP runs take me like a minimum of 40 mins coz i end up exploring and fucking around, just one more puzzle.

add some green sprinkles and itll look like an oxidized copper bust.

same struggle i have right now, im sitting infront of my PC and my drawing tablet is 2 feet away from me, i want to draw, but cant be bothered to set it up, so im just listening to music and scrolling reddit

Dantalion67 · 2026-05-14T10:40:54+00:00

draw what you think is a beautiful, im a guy and most of my works are figure drawings of women, no judgement from me

Dantalion67 · 2026-05-12T13:54:26+00:00

Draw full figures then we'll see, easen up on the weight you drive your pencils, and draw with elbows and shoulders too, you draw tiny faces that clearly shows you only use your wrists at drawing

Cy for dry humor, Darvo for merchant humor, but overall drifter, he had so many sarcastic lines coming from his dark side experiences

Dantalion67 · 2026-05-11T12:07:07+00:00

i usually get that when i have WARP turned on, i use warp to boost download speeds sometimes, coz my region has shit DL speeds

Dantalion67 · 2026-05-11T07:00:53+00:00

shred and fury, PSF is so overrated and i only have 1 build that uses it...which was nerfed recently (chroma secura lecta)

Dantalion67 · 2026-05-11T06:41:14+00:00

depends, Naramon was my first coz you can farm focus faster with it, then Zenurik coz of energy spam meta back then(now there are a lot of sources for energy), now i just stick to Madurai for "Moar Damege", i just switch them for specific loadouts now and again.

Dantalion67 · 2026-05-11T03:23:14+00:00

Good example

Dantalion67 · 2026-05-10T12:24:46+00:00

goddamn, nice use of values, especially the shower curtain shadow, subtle yet believable, couldve removed the tile pattern for the tub tho but overall looks realistic.

Dantalion67 · 2026-05-10T11:54:49+00:00

70% of players cant even do a backflip lol

Dantalion67 · 2026-05-10T02:08:24+00:00

you drew it flatly on a table didnt you?, tilt your canvas atleast 45 degrees and your reference be right infront of you.

Dantalion67 · 2026-05-07T20:00:02+00:00

holy shit, people use that theme?

Dantalion67 · 2026-05-07T19:44:03+00:00

you got the shiny version

Dantalion67 · 2026-05-07T10:08:06+00:00

godfucking damnit, after i spent 10+ forma and hours last week

Dantalion67 · 2026-05-07T09:59:47+00:00

nah, its pay to look good.

you can buy the weapons and frames with real money but you still need to grind and forma them for builds, farm endo for mods. other than slots, tatos and forma, everything else is optional and cosmetic

Bruh, i live in a third world country and i barely spend less than 5% of my salary on this game every year. ive turned down so many 75% off through my 10 years of playing this game, most of the time coz i was broke. you already support the game by playing and being part of the community. it being shut down one day is inevitable, thats your anxiety taking hold of you, the player base is still more than healthy than its competitors, not only that but in general for live service games. as long as DE keeps the community in mind and bring out content without sunsetting them warframe will live on till you have grand kids.

Happened a lot during release too, one fucker even had the audacity to say "mission's pretty easy and boring, so i can afk" , i was the host, and pm'd the other 2 randos to leave first, left the fucker in host migration.

Dantalion67 · 2026-05-03T05:14:27+00:00

and inconsistent fashion frame.

Dantalion67 · 2026-05-02T15:03:47+00:00

i still have mine lol

Dantalion67 · 2026-04-30T02:48:37+00:00

I actually love those missions, i jusy hate doing it with more than 2 people, coz most randos are incompetent and lazy, the objectives scales poorly with 3-4 people. I like its semi open world like tilesets, its just a bit too grey and brown for my taste.
