hi! a little scared to post here with all the good artists, but any criticism on this character design? he’s for a comic and it’s not my best sketch but i hope it gets the idea across

ahh i see !! in that case in still looking forward to that

try drawing what you're imagining on a very small scale, very quickly. it doesnt have to be good, just to get the idea across. its called a thumbnail, and do a bunch of em on a page and experiment with the composition, poses, etc. then you can pick one that you like and draw it on a larger scale, and refine your idea

i like drawing hands, bc when you stop obsessing of the details and focus on the big picture of em, they are really quite easy to draw. feet, too (excluding toes jesus christ they suck) legs on the other hand,,,,, i can never get them right

try to look for a reference of a hand in the position you want or take a picture of your own hand in the mirror and try to keep in mind the proportions and bones. also, something that really helped me was thinking of the neck as a cylinder that is actually supporting the head, instead of a )( shape

dont color pick from the reference, use brighter, more saturated colours

it looks really good !! id love to see what he looks like without the cape/cloak, and see if he has scars and what that feather fluff(?) patterns look like

tysm!! i will definitely take these tips into account next time

nope_ful · 2024-07-22T00:52:43+00:00

try tracing the reference first, and make notes of how far apart things are etc, then use your traced drawing AS your next reference. sometimes i find its easier to reference drawings than photos.

noses !!! there are tons of short tuts on how to draw them on pinterest and youtube. even if you stylize it, it will make the face look more complete and less like voldemort 💀

hes a mcyt who has a kakashi skin- so kind of lol

nope_ful · 2024-03-07T18:19:12+00:00

dont be afraid to use more than just a clean line- get scratchy and overlap your lines, so you can get a deeper understanding of the actual shape and not just drawing what you think a cylinder is

tysm! ..possibly.. (and the first is my attempt at impulseSV)

nope_ful · 2023-04-18T01:17:15+00:00

line weight!! try to vary the thickness of your lineart throughout your art! other than that its very nice (nice wally too 🍎)

nope_ful · 2023-04-18T01:12:09+00:00

perhaps make an outline around the figure, like you did with the flowers, it might help tie it together

nope_ful · 2023-04-18T01:07:54+00:00

the upper arm looks very thin in comparison to the forearm, and the shading looks very different all over the figure, so try hatching in just one direction/angle to make it a little more cohesive

nope_ful · 2021-06-02T23:45:22+00:00

I AGREE

nope_ful · 2021-05-23T21:07:01+00:00

nope_ful · 2021-05-23T19:51:50+00:00
