Are you honestly being butthurt just to be butthurt?

I doubt you're Kyma or Adam.

Stop being an idiot. You don't need to be an artist to know how something should look, and he didn't say he wasn't, anyway. You strike me as a whiner if you think he's being a douche for presenting legitimate critique.

tl;dr stop being dumb

I'm surprised to see this thread still around. Although, I suppose /crit/ doesn't get too many submissions compared to the other boards :<

Don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely shit at drawing. I'm trying to get better, but fuck it's hard (heh. heh....). Still, pointing out stylistic elements that don't work well doesn't require a good artist. It just takes someone who's willing to look, and speak.

In related news, I've been watching a live streamer recently who does a really amazing job with faces, all the time. Her FA is Jailbird ( http://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/jailbird ). You guys should all go give her some love.

All right then, concrit (and also my first post on Fchan, woo). In my opinion this image is boring. Drawing is a visual language and your image always needs to tell some sort of story, even if it's just supposed to be spank fodder. Who is this character and why is she in this situation? Is she enjoying it or not? I can't figure out whether she's supposed to be cheerfully showing herself off to the viewer or struggling and squirming in humiliation, and that's a pretty important distinction.

I'd suggest thinking about the situation you want to convey and starting over with a new pose that is designed to show that story. Pic related is two possible approaches. #1 (unwilling) has the character struggling - note that with a 3/4 view you would be able to see some of the spreader bar and I've pulled the tail up over it to highlight its existence and add a bit more flavor. #2 (willing) is more like your still pose, but with body language to show that she's quite happy where she is and enjoying the looks she's getting.

Tl;dr: give your character a personality, the work will be a lot better.

I assure you that posting was not mine. In the case of posting it in other threads, however, it's evident that people are simply skipping over said information and thus it needs to be brought down into their threads.

I can see what you mean and I can already see the way in which your sketch conveys a lot more about the scene. Thanks very much for the advice and I'll give it a go.

>>1513

Yes some people suck and need to have that told to them, but for the most part it just gets posted in every single thread here regardless of art quality.

What's there to finish about it?

>>1533

well, when I started it, I had the idea that there was going to be a ton of characters in that scene, twilight and DJ-pon in the foreground, big mac in the background protecting applebloom who's on the ground hurt. Rarity being turned to stone by a cockatrice. with the entirety of ponyville in chaos. The idea was that whatever was in everfree forest invades ponyville. There was also going to be an Ursa Major wrapped around the town hall while swatting at rainbow dash. Basically a very intricuit scene with a lot of elements. I started thinking that maybe that's a bit too busy for one picture. But as I stated above, I got sidetracked by another project and never came back to this.

The man was amazing at piecing together references from photos and using them in a fresh, lively fashion that made the imagery accurate and appealing. He knew how to bend the rules and adjust a reference correctly.

Instead of getting defensive about your "style," reevaluate where you actually intend on going with it. Oh and read this:

Thank you, this is - constructive criticism and useful! Got a lot of information for reflection, it will try to come-in the following works.

Thank you very much for the constructive criticism and a great article (although having trouble with English). but now I finally abide in an impasse with respect to anthropomorphic characters. anthropomorphic - because of people like, means the boundary of a vague as ever ...

-

some cute cat? painted in the style of realism. with bloody claws, corpses, and the other by appropriate attributes? I want to somehow combine the faces of the people and the essence of the animal.

-

I wish I knew someone who spoke your language as well as English well enough to get the point across. I feel that is our barrier right now and unfortunately there isn't much else I can do.
I'm sorry.

looks like basic proportion is fine, for a next step you may want to try to work on making hands or feet in the front, looks cool tho

>basic proportion is fine

No, it's really not.

-

I did this literally out of boredom, and I know I didn't cover everything. But hopefully it helps

-

Its awfully hard getting help around here it seems.

-

Yes it is.

Any worthwhile posters that still come around are not here 98% of the time.

-

Well ill keep hoping someday ill get a good second opinion on this.

Artists, read before posting!

Before you post your art to ask for critique, please read these tutorials. They explain the basic principles of drawing and figure drawing. Most posts where these basics are missing will never get a response, as people are quite frankly sick and bored of explaining over and over that you would have to pretty much learn how to draw first, before you could improve.
