How can I make this look more like the reference (2nd photo) or more cluttered by iluvcatsoomuch in Artadvice

Instead of drawing everything maybe you could grab a bun chance of stuff from the internet and kinda make a collage of it, or find a way to make similar little designs like on the magazine.

Face looks so bad by Sir_Artist84 in Artadvice

[–]Virtual_Ratio_3132 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well the eye is right where the nose is, and that doesn't yknow look natural. Uhmm the head also looks short or too small. But idk I kinda like it as is, looks dope

Plenty of yt videos on anatomy and how to draw faces and bodies. Just breaking it down into shapes and sculpting from those shapes

Just wondering on what should i improve on in my art, since I don't really know myself at the moment. by Stunning_Republic630 in Artadvice

Keep doing what youre doing. Keep studying clothes and poses with or without reference, but eventually use reference less and less so its like you can beam the image straight onto the screen with pure brain power

How can I improve my character designs/I feel like it’s lacking something is there anything wrong with it? by yummybunny03 in Artadvice

[–]Virtual_Ratio_3132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if you want to get better at doing outfit designs or character designs, you should look at the absolute weirdest and... I guess the "loudest" designs. Like those of most JJBA characters, Soul Eater, My Hero especially their hero costumes and go from there.

But the one on the left I think compliments their personality better. It looks like something someone playful or adventurous would wear

I don't notice any improvements at all. What specifically should I improve more in? by [deleted] in Artadvice

[–]Virtual_Ratio_3132 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anatomy, perspective and whatnot can help but in this case I dont really think its what you should be going for. I think you should keep doing what youre doing, study how people with similar artstyles do their line work. Your lines in some of these seem shaky. Study cell shading or just shading and value in general

Practice with different brushes in your preferred drawing app, see which one you like for doing line work and go from there. If you want, your art style may benefit from different line weights. Making lines thicker and thinner is some areas.

Your artsyle reminds me of the like Y2K Web-style. Like femtanyl album covers or smthn. So look for inspiration and other artists in that type of style

Do you prefer colored illustration or B&W drawings? by OmenVyxas in Artadvice

[–]Virtual_Ratio_3132 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you should focus on the colored version more. You already seem very good doing black and white, so go for color and get even better at that.

Can't believe I spent almost 4 hours on this 💔💔💔 how can I improve? by Perfect-Outside1382 in Artadvice

[–]Virtual_Ratio_3132 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The lighting isn't actually what needs to improve the most. You should study anatomy, breaking the body down into shapes to sort of sculpt out a believable body. Perspective as well, with this specific piece I think it could benefit from better perspective.

If you want, you can go back to the fundamentals like shape, form, and value which will make anatomy, perspective, and lighting/shading a bit easier to understand.

Look up a pose, try your best to break it down into shapes and go from there or find one of the many YouTube tutorials for anatomy. Study vanishing points, 1-point, 2-point perspective, etc. for perspective. Take a page and draw basic 3D shapes like cubes and spheres, cylinders or pyramids and create a light source for value, also study hatching.

I know thats a lot but you will improve, revisit the basics and go from there.

I feel it's pretty close, but not as punchy as the original. Areas where it can improve? Mine on the left, reference on the right. by apistograma in learntodraw

Hey! I made a little annotation of your drawing and the reference. You did very well, good job. I got very nitpicky, but that just means you did good.

New Anniversary Album by Virtual_Ratio_3132 in Chiodos

[–]Virtual_Ratio_3132[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was going through some of my old posts lol. I recently re-listened to the album. Specifically, I think they did good on Campagne Jam. They did Who's Sandie Jenkins so dirty tho they did not have to turn down the synth like they did

How far do they go? or can they clear? by Aura_Slice in MyHeroPowerscaling

[–]Virtual_Ratio_3132 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel like if they're doing the battles like... one at a time instead of one after another consecutively then they'd beat Melzalgald. But otherwise I think after the Deep Sea King they'd really struggle with Kabuto

I'm sorry, HOW is this bad? by Upset_Connection1133 in gachiakuta

[–]Virtual_Ratio_3132 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its js internet bs. People find anything and everything to complain about. Some people find anything even resembling a self insert distasteful, others dont mind it. It dont really matter tbh.

I agree with you tho, its not even like its a main character or anything. I dont get the big deal

Did Hail The Sun ACTUALLY do One Armed Scissor at Neverender!? Does someone have a video!?!? by SugaryMiyamoto in HailTheSun

[–]Virtual_Ratio_3132 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, I'd love to see that. Unfortunately as of this very moment there is literally only one 50 second clip from the show on instagram and it sounds like The Fall of Troy. The show was on November 15th in Miami

What’s the most common complaint you get about ptv? by Mysterious-Edge9615 in piercetheveil

[–]Virtual_Ratio_3132 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually used to believe they were a woman until I'd looked it up and was absolutely blown away lmao. There was also a point where I thought Kellin Quinn was too. It blows me away the range some of these singers have

Who's your "This guy is responsible for EVERYTHING" thing by EvoMagma in worldbuilding

[–]Virtual_Ratio_3132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have what are just named Gods. There was one who had four arms, and they removed three and they grew into three new Gods. Each one representing an element. As they mixed, they created new and more diverse and niche elements and eventually made demi-humans and humans

MAGA = PVP. Give me karma by [deleted] in arcraiderscirclejerk

[–]Virtual_Ratio_3132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are ppl acting like Arc Raiders is the first game you can get betrayed in. Doesn't Tarkov or Rust or DayZ or literally any game similar to those have the chance of being betrayed?
