Been in such a huge art rut because I know my stuff never comes out right... that I actually want opinions... tired of friends just blowing me off when I'm asking for honesty.

If you have a program capable of doing it, try to give your image a horizontal (mirror) flip every so often as you do delicate areas such as eyes and muzzles and correct centers of balance. Doing the flip can show you where you might have created an off angle.

You have great ideas, but some things (such as the questionable symmetry with Daxter's eyes) could make your ideas even better if they were taken one or two more steps.

I'm not much of an artist but I decided to check out what this part of fchan had, I love your first drawing! There is something about it, I want to see more of it! This character is just...strangly amazing to me. Thanks! Your other are it rather nice too!

-

Anybody want to help?

-

Yes, as long as you're actually baracudaboy.

-

Don't blow my coner D:
I'm like the shittiest artist on the planet and this drawing almost seems like a joke.
WHYYY would I want people to know who I was.

lol, oh, the file name. last time I post on lulz stoned -_-

-

Lol, lulz is over there.

It is okay, though.

I will see what I can do.

> I was told it shouldn't be a big deal posting non furry work here

It isn't.

Lots of detail in there. That's the good i can say about it.

The bad: Utterly terrible lighting. For me this breaks the whole image. I cannot get any sense of real perspective from this. Especially bad are the spikes at the ceiling which are lighted from left and right, while the ones no the floor are only lighted from the right.

Then there's also a problem with the water: The "detail lines" are just random white lines for one, with no real intent behind them. For the other, the ones in the distance are of the same thickness and fidelity as the ones in front, again destroying any possible sense of perspective.

Aren't you supposed to be in the other thread, busy waxing poetic about poorly replicated weaboo penguin with not-so-well-thought-out penis attachment?

Shoo. :)

This is damn good.

Thanks, but that's not really a critique is it? :P

First, the good: you did a nice job on the composition, setting the mood, and on the lighting. The light work on the bedsheets is particularly attractive. Composition is balanced, and the entire piece has a very "lazy Sunday morning" look to it, to me.

The problem, really, is the figure - not his anatomy, but his posing combined with how the light falls on him. Honestly, I wouldn't had been able to tell it was porn if you hadn't mentioned it! Because he's made out of black and gray brushstrokes with none of that nice lighting hitting him like the rest of the room, he ends up looking undefined. It really doesn't "read" as anything other than a dude leaning up against his bedframe on its own. You can get away with compact poses with lineart, but when you're working with what is essentially a silhouette, you need to pose things differently, possibly a bit more exaggerated, so it is immediately clear what is going on to the viewer.

I do, however, like the silhouette look, it makes the piece much more dramatic - the problem is making sure the silhouette is obvious without explanation. Your art should speak for itself, after all!

-

>>712
Thank you!
You're actually not the first one to point out that I should work on my poses. I need to do more life drawing, too bad I can't get on any classes right now :/
Anyway, I took some notes based on your critique:

-think of the viewers, they won't see it like you do.
-The picture must speak for itself
-exaggerate the form when needed

-

>>713

You're welcome! That's just about what I was rambling about, yeah.

Thing is, though, you really don't need classes to work on posing and anatomy. I personally like to people-watch and use posemaniacs (listed above) since I'm studying in a medical field and really don't have time for extra math classes. The issue isn't where you study, just that you do, in general. As long as you're constantly turning a critical eye towards your artwork, you will eventually learn and understand anatomy on its own. However, it does take more discipline to do this on your own.

For an example of good silhouetting, you may want to look at old Warner Brothers animation - just look up some old Bugs Bunny cartoons on Youtube or something, and pause through the more expressive actions. These old cartoons are really, really good at clear poses, albeit very, very exaggerated ones. Obviously you wouldn't make such exaggerated, cartoony poses with what looks to be your semi-realistic style, but I do find that drawing very loose, fast, silly sketches before hitting the "real" drawing helps keep my work from looking stiff.

Then again, in a masturbation pic, maybe that's the point. :V

Ha-ha, you should draw porn or penises to get criticized here fast. ;)

On a serious note, you could use a good anatomy book to learn how legs and pelvis interact in different positions. Plus, I see you've hidden her fingers in the mittens. I suppose it's cold in the picture, but don't avoid drawing fingers, this way you'll learn it faster.

Regarding cloth, the only way is to watch how it folds in real life. Just go outside and watch it on people noticing how light is arranged, i's not so easy, but its worth it.

Everything else seems to be okay, except minor errors: her head looks too wide, or too low, I dunno, her hair doesn't look good enough. And there's no shading on the picture. :(

Hope, it helps.

-

>Ha-ha, you should draw porn or penises to get criticized here fast. ;)

Haha! No.

We'd only tell him/her off faster.

And I just haven't bothered here much recently.

Still looking for help on this?

And if you're feeling extra nice, would you mind telling me how my watercolors are?
I realize the anatomy/perspective is pretty wonky, but I'll just say THAT'S MY STYLE HURRHURR.

LAST THING.
Cat in the picture is the same as http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3232298/
I was trying to keep that same slender build but make it look a little more correct. :S

Digitigrade doesn't mean that he stand simply on his tip toes.
Watch some dog legs structure to understand this.
Also keep the draw simple at first.
