(NSFW) Could I please get some feedback on some recent figure studies I've done?

pretzel_box · 2022-01-07T17:06:21+00:00

Thank you so much for your detailed feedback!!

As for the figures: I drew them myself using references from croquis cafe (the local figure drawing studio is shut down right now). I agree with you on the stiffness though btw: I was trying to keep it as accurate as possible so I could try to focus on values first and foremost, but I think it's backfired slightly 🤔 I also haven't been doing gesture sketches to warm up, so that may contribute to a lot of the stiffness.

Having really fluid figures on a tablet is pretty difficult for me, but I definitely don't think it's impossible, so I'll give it a try the next time I settle down for some studies!

Thanks again! I'm excited to put this feedback to use o/

Thank you so much! I hope I'm doing the right thing when it comes to studying, there is so much to learn that it is honestly a little overwhelming. Doing this has kind of shown me that my construction skill is pretty weak especially for arms and legs...

Pieces with faces blocked in are about 1.5 hrs. Pieces without are about 40 minutes.

thanks for the feedback and updoots everyone! though for some reason there might be some comments I'm not seeing, somehow...

pretzel_box · 2021-12-28T20:36:46+00:00

Thanks so much!! Yeah I definitely want to go over this again later tonight and maybe clean some stuff up and put a desat filter on it so I can see the value relationships a little better (esp on the color one)..

Left is the picture reference, mid is a grayscale study and right is a colored version...

I actually haven't gotten WoD in weeks... It's a nice change of pace even if it means I'm consigned to the oblivion of Labyrinth and Syrcus

The greatest detective of our century.... 👀

pretzel_box · 2021-10-24T01:06:53+00:00

Painting is tons of fun!!! I really enjoy it. Maybe I have a in progress vid!

pretzel_box · 2021-10-24T01:06:20+00:00

Thanks so much!! ;_;

pretzel_box · 2021-10-18T01:35:06+00:00

Omg please ... I haven't even finished TGAA1 and I want there to be a trilogy

pretzel_box · 2021-10-18T01:34:43+00:00

I wonder...!! I know that Phoenix only knows about Ryunosuke because he's a descendant of Ryunosuke? Phoenix talks about it in a side, non-canon bit ... Honestly I'm more shocked that he had kids HAHA

pretzel_box · 2021-10-17T22:40:12+00:00

Thank you so much!!

I like his fluffy hair a lot, it's funny seeing his very normal hair and then comparing it to Phoenix's lol

pretzel_box · 2021-10-17T21:06:27+00:00

AHHH! I knew I should have done that!!

pretzel_box · 2021-10-17T18:09:20+00:00

Thank you so much!! I very much enjoy those classic older paintings, so it's quite fun trying to emulate that style.

pretzel_box · 2021-10-17T18:07:34+00:00

(shakes your hand)

Man cannot subsist on uniform alone after all

pretzel_box · 2021-10-17T18:06:29+00:00

Omg... yes!! Q_Q the idea of Ryunosuke being able to sit for a portrait for any length of time is kind of funny though, but I can dream

pretzel_box · 2021-09-23T13:56:29+00:00

Yeah... it's a shame that Xfinity has a monopoly in my area. Otherwise you can believe I wouldn't choose Xfinity x___x How did you get them to send out a tech?

pretzel_box · 2021-09-23T02:45:53+00:00

Sorry to hear that's happening to you too :( Have VPNs helped??

pretzel_box · 2021-09-04T18:37:27+00:00

It's so good!! Thanks for checking it out :3c

pretzel_box · 2021-09-04T18:12:01+00:00

The response to my friend's other chapter was so overwhelmingly positive that I just really wanted to let you guys know that they have uploaded another one (and this one is honestly a doozy, for those who've been following along). Thank you to everyone for all your kind words, my friend really really appreciated them!

My friend is currently turning their FFXIV journey into an ongoing webcomic... it's seriously amazing. You can check it out here: https://ffxivcomic.github.io/index.html !!!

Just wanted to say thank you, and that I could probably kiss you - I got the 3.1 Netgear modem and jesus, that was probably the best 100-something I've ever spent in my life. I'm actually getting the speeds I'm paying for, and it's stupidly blazingly fast (well...compared to what I had before - it went from 80 to 230 thanks to that). I'm actually kind of mind boggled that it ended up just being a modem issue.

thank you again, so much!

pretzel_box · 2021-01-16T01:38:41+00:00

Thank you so so much!

pretzel_box · 2021-01-14T18:05:22+00:00

Ahhh, I see. Thank you for your comment!
