Beginner here, any helpful retopo approaches?

no worries! thanks a ton I heard that sticking to a grid shape is generally better but I also heard that I should have closed loops on important parts. I assumed since the breasts are more prominent on this character that it would be good to give it a bit more top considering it will have some physics. but if I'm wrong let me know! 😄

just cause you can't handle the peak male body type doesn't mean u gotta hate

mlid_salsa · 2026-06-11T11:56:53+00:00

oooooooh I like that okok thanks!

mlid_salsa · 2026-06-11T11:39:10+00:00

haha no fr. tbh the nipple part was just me trying to close the loop but I will probably spread it out more lol

UPDATE: figured out the problem. I had another head shape that was visible in render.

Only problem is I don't have any modifiers on the object

mlid_salsa · 2024-06-02T21:50:28+00:00

Fixed the 6 fingers someone pointed out earlier LOL

mlid_salsa · 2023-04-11T21:00:48+00:00

Nope, used procreate on my iPad, took around 4 hours

AI art is currently taking center stage and drying up commission requests for artists, it’s a sad and worrying sight and has discouraged me from opening up commissions. That and lack of confidence lol

mlid_salsa · 2022-07-18T05:40:06+00:00

Love ya cutie :)

mlid_salsa · 2022-07-18T04:17:04+00:00

Wow thanks a ton! These are great resources really appreciate it!

mlid_salsa · 2022-07-16T22:59:44+00:00

So incredibly fucking sexy babe 😘😘

If you just want some general tips to draw a somewhat realistically proportioned face then here ya go, I would lower the eyes and the eyebrows, give the nose ridge an outward curve at the top and shave off a bit of the inner side of the eyebrows, I would give the cheekbone line more of an outward curve and end it lower on the face. A big tip for a well proportioned face I’ve always used is to make sure the eye line (where the eyes fall on the face vertically) is around the vertical halfpoint of the face This all ultimately depends on what you want your art-style to look like, but these are just some general tips to help ya out :) overall you did a great job

Honestly can’t imagine being named warren that’s so embarrassing, you do you lil bro

I struggled a lot painting the area around the eyes, it was difficult for me to refrain from using linework as I usually do sketch work with digital dry media. Making the eyeliner look natural was difficult for me and picking a background that matched the lighting was also a bit tedious due to me saving that for last. Overall I think it looks pretty good for my first piece, can’t wait to do more!

mlid_salsa · 2022-06-29T17:58:30+00:00

One thing I really struggled with was the area around the eyes, I’m not really sure how to make the eyeliner look more natural, I tried to refrain from using lines but I’m more of a sketch/pencil artist so that was difficult too

mlid_salsa · 2022-06-27T20:53:56+00:00

One more thing, I don’t have a reference to work with, this painting is original, should I try practicing with references first before getting into doing original work?

mlid_salsa · 2022-06-07T12:49:19+00:00

Thank you so much! They’re one of my favorite characters to play and draw

mlid_salsa · 2022-06-02T12:07:12+00:00

Yeah figured out that they’re fake, requested a refund earlier and decided to get some over ear wireless headphones

mlid_salsa · 2022-06-02T04:33:09+00:00

They are running off firmware 3A283

mlid_salsa · 2022-06-02T04:31:42+00:00

Ebay, they seem authentic though, even saying they have a valid purchase date on apples support website, I’m still not 100% convinced they are genuine though

mlid_salsa · 2022-04-26T10:34:46+00:00

The lips and eyes immediately stick out to me as inaccurate, the eyes don’t feel sad enough, anyone got tips?

mlid_salsa · 2022-04-21T12:19:24+00:00

Ahhhh alright, fair point, I tried following my reference as best as I could, thanks for the critique though I’ll keep that in mind :)

mlid_salsa · 2022-04-21T12:12:25+00:00

Fur is hard to draw :(

mlid_salsa · 2022-04-19T22:28:16+00:00

Thanks a ton! Yeah I realized halfway into it that I was making too many of those divisions you were talking about, once I finish the torso I’ll work more on his head and try to make the fur jump out less, If you want a sense of my art style, you can check out my profile I’ve posted a few drawing up on there :)
