sorry, for making so many art threads! i promise this is the last one. so anyway,
WOO!
my dad surprised me with a wacom for hanukkah!! fuck line tool shit =D
so here is a screenshot from a flash that i've been working on since rtil helped me crack CS4
i originally drew the outline with my touchpad, but with the wacom i was able to redraw, color, and refine it. I wish i could have done a better job shading, but i honestly have no idea how to do proper cel-shading in flash. im still pretty unfamiliar with it =/
the reason why the background is plain, is because im currently trying to make a nice background in photoshop
so yeah, that's pretty much it. i know it isn't much, but criticism and advice would be much appreciated =]

the cel shading looks fine to me. good choice of colors
look forward to seeing a backdrop
do the characters have faces? i've noticed all your full bodied characters never have one. while it could be on purpose, i think it's important characters at least have eyes they're the windows to our soulssssss
yeah its very good but like rtil said the lack of eyes is kinda weird
the colors are great =]
the rest has already been said
i hate drawing faces DX
i might just make her hair longer so i can just cover up her face =/
actually...
there is a part of the flash where you do get to see her face. i'll color it and put that up here
anime
You seem to be very familiarized with anatomy,( wich I know its basic for an animator and Im working on it too).
I dont really mind the eyes and such, I guess that is part of your style.
i saw someone mention "fisheye" in another thread, so i thought i would give it a shot.
this is a girl playing soccer. why she has no pants, i do not know. i just omitted them for some reason. whatever, people play soccer in their underwear, right? in japan??
so here's my first attempt at fisheye, drawn in flash. i didn't use the "fisheye filter and trace" technique because my photoshop doesn't have a fisheye filter, so i drew this freehand. but i did use another picture as a reference. i had A LOT of trouble with this. =P
i don't feel great about this piece, but i think it came out alright for my first time =/
(https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi381.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Foo257%2FSkimiatek%2Ffisheye-1.jpg&hash=6e9eddc1b58698c92362d0f5265b373e87cb95c5)
it's good for a first time
only things i see wrong is her left arm seems too thin, and the right leg kinda confuses me but yea first time
a fisheye filter wouldn't work so well because it requires depth to know what to distort more. so it would probably look strange on art that wasn't meant to be viewed in a fisheye lens to begin with. this is a pretty good shot at it , i think there are a few lines that are causing problems but it's not really worth mentioning. a lot of issues can be cleverly solved with coloring & tone
OKAY. so i know i never draw faces. facial anatomy is difficult for me, especially noses. so i've been practicing a lot.
question about coloring: i tried to color this by using cel-shading on it, and it came out terrible. is there any sort of shading method i can use that will allow me to blend colors more and make them softer? i know photoshop has soft-shading methods, but i have no idea how to do that =/
also, i prefer drawing in flash to photoshop, because flash has the line-correction thing.
can anyone offer help?
oh yeah, and here's the pic. sorry it looks like she has down syndrome D:

oh whatever she has a nice bum

Did you tried to adjust the "smoothing" on the brush? Because lowering it down gives you more control with the brush.
what if you did the line art in flash and colored it in photoshop
i'm not too sure what you're asking actually

yeah, copy-pasting isn't going to work
you need to export it as a PNG, so when you've got your lineart down, go to FILE>EXPORT>EXPORT IMAGE... save it as a PNG, match the screen dimensions when the window pops up (select 'match screen' and include 'full document size', etc). then just uh, open it up in photoshop
and that should do it
ta-dah

i know how to do that, but the problem is that whenever i save it as a .png and open it up in photoshop, the lines that i drew are part of the background and not on a separate layer. so it's a hassle when i cel-shade because it means that all the lines are going to appear underneath the color, which is not what i want =[

ah, i think i forgot a part: try saving it with the 'colors' option as '24 bit with alpha channel' when the export PNG window pops up. that should save only the line art and not any of the background

thank you! =)
okay, here's another thing i did in flash
the violin was a bitch to draw. so were the hands. i had to use my own violin as a model so i could get it right. it looks kinda messed up tho i don't know what i should do to fix it =/
i hope this drawing doesn't look as stiff as all the others!
i took jeinu's advice and exported it as a .png with no background. i might spruce this up in photoshop.
whoa. 500th post =o

wow sasha that last one is nice
could you use some shading tho
i think the right hand might be a teeeeny bit longer than the other but its ok
did you trace the violin or what
Quote from: NoneZopwow sasha that last one is nice
did you trace the violin or what
no i didn't, which is why it came kinda shitty imo. notice how the right side of the violin is way wider than the left =/
i really need to fix that part. but im happy with how the guy came out =)
its nic

Of course. I just refuse to do what everyone here wants me too. Nobody here ever seemed to like me in the first place so I just do whatever I feel like with little regard for what comes of it.
I think the Violinist looks fine, but it looks like there's a bit of his nose missing. The shading thing too...
new pic: rapist
i finally learned how to use the pen sensitivity on my tablet. i like how this came out. it looks much different than my previous stuff. i tried something slightly different with this pic. i'm still trying to settle on a definite style :/
this is definitely unfinished. im not sure if i want to add hair or a hat. suggestions?

Pretty good!
Aside from ears and a nose, I'd probably put a hat over some ruffled hair or something I dunno
id say short scruffy hair and maybe scar him, looks good so far!
blue hair and a schoolgirl outfit

Love the lineart but the lines you've used for the neck are a bit thick.
I think a trilby would look pretty bitchin if it's a guy you're drawing
For some reason i think flat/rudimentary colours (ie no shading) would suit your stuff HOWEVER if you're gonna do that then be careful what colours you pick, otherwise it'll look garish and not very smart at all yo.
keep it up!! and borrow me your tablet sometime
i think you should erase the head and the neck outlines and start with some hair to come up with a more fitting head shape
I said i would do a picture of Redm, and here it is!
it's unfinished. i HAD a colored version, but flash quit unexpectedly so i lost it all. You can see i colored the eye and that's about it. so im in the process of recoloring. im just putting up what i have right now. i do plan on finishing it. advice? criticism? I hope you like it red. I was afraid that it would come out looking to pointy/anime/indiana jones.

Pretty alright but the right eye seems like its not there.
At all.
Put like, some more hair in the way so it seems like the eye is being covered up.
Or just draw a part of the eye so it shows that its there.

oh and btw, flash crashed AGAIN. i think i have too many programs open at once. w/e im too pissed off to finish it now.
You should really torrent something like photoshop or try to get Art Rage for your mac or something.
Flash crashes alot, especially CS4.
sasha that looks awesome thank you
dont give up! make the hat red and leave the rest it will look super cool
now i wanna do a drawing of red

hmm the mouth and nose are kinda bugging me. He has a manly chin but a very feminine nose, and his mouth seems a bit small.
really nice lines though.
mmyeah im really not liking how this one is coming out. i really hate drawing faces. i like to practice faces, but i think im much better with bodies. :/
ugh OKAY. flash is giving me problems so fuck it. im getting too pissed with flash at the moment >:C

Looking very good now that everything has been put together.
ears are a bit big, they should roughly go from the top of the eye to the bottom of the nose and they go well past that
great pic otherwise. color it
He still looks a little too feminine for a rapist but nice work all the same, now colour this bitch!
Quote from: AshingtonHe still looks a little too feminine for a rapist but nice work all the same, now colour this bitch!
hmmm maybe some five o' clock shadow would help?
The hair in the middle looks slightly strange, but that's probably just me.
Great pic though, good job
i wouldn't bother outlining his adam's apple or whatever
very well done! the first ones were very nice. i think you got the, how do you say that, the proportions uhh under control (my english sucks)...
but when i looked further i seemed that your style is very influenced by anime, i can tell by the eyes.
try drawing the eyes a different way, and study real pictures of eyes of something.
but then again what do i know im just a noob, i mean just look at my postcount
Quote from: SashuraQuote from: AshingtonHe still looks a little too feminine for a rapist but nice work all the same, now colour this bitch!

prehaps, i personally don't think anime looking characters make good sinister people, something about how they're done just doesn't make them look intimidating in my eyes.
lmao Sasha that is a beautiful drawing of red. He looks so happy.
I think there should be more sasha/salutations hentai happening fo sho

Hhhm, some neat stuff. Last weekend I wiped out my hard drive and now my tablet works, pretty fun, neat, awesome, still not used to it yet, and last night I drew something incredibly mind fucking amazing and flash crashed. I was fucking livid.

god you have no idea how hard i laughed at that

missing a nose an ears
Something about the hair is iffy, but you could probably fix all this up when you color it
Also shes a bit stiff in the shoulders
also: rape
taking everyone's advice in the irc, here is the 2nd version of the picture

the weird lines are outlines for shadows. i'm gonna redo them and color them in, don't worry, but for now, i just need advice on her basic form and outline.
idk what to do about her clothing

I think it came out well
Although the nose still looks sorta weird for me, the coloring is nice ya
Add a background or shadow.
add beads of sweat and bruises
And despairing look on her face and a dead look in her eyes and cuts and
i would pick a lighter tone for the shading of the clothes, and i'd use something with a hint of blue in it. i'd also only use a single tone for the shading, and if you want variation use a gradient. when you use more than two as you have here it gets very complicated because of the nature of vectors. in reality, the darkest tone of anything that has roundness to it is closer to where the shadow meets the light as opposed to the edge of the object.
below is a poor example of what i am talking about
(https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.toxiclab.org%2Fimg%2F2005121210_Img6.gif&hash=605286c369d580f965d80e5fb69544884dda5430)
in either case, i think a gradient would be better suited. gradients can express dimensionality a lot easier than what are essentially shapes of color
ok! i've never thought of using gradients for shading before, i've always just used cel-shading, but that sounds pretty cool ima try it
well it's still technically cel shading
bondage anime rape, cool
nah, i like the way the picture came out, its nicely colored too
hot
i was about to say something,but then rtil said what he said and i think i couldnt add anything to that so take his advice.
Other than that: really nice drawing!! keep it up

i know it isn't much, but i tried
i wanted to give the girl a lot of 'movement'. i know her bouncing hair and boobies may be a tad exaggerated, i had so much fun drawing them
some advice would be great. i made a few other movement cycles, but they're too choppy.
er, so yeah that's about it. any advice for making it look less shitty?
thanks
it's really good, but i wouldn't make the breasts flippity flop like that
but it's exaggerated well so w/e
the boobs would be less distracting if the shoulders were going up and down with each step, that's what they would be doing to counteract the motion of her hips
i did another drawing. i was gonna draw more battered women/rape victims, but i guess i creeped people out, so here's a picture of the opposite. a girl that will fuck bitches up >:C
(https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi381.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Foo257%2FSkimiatek%2FUntitled-e21-1.png&hash=1355c45bbb22b8dcf04e3b2d469b2fd6b2b96953)
i'll do cell-shading and add more textures later
draw an old fat man
Quote from: mr. sweaty assdraw an old fat man
haha why? you need me to prove that i can draw other things besides young women? :p
well, i can draw fat people, and i can draw guys, but i've actually never attempted to draw old people. their skin is so saggy and wrinkly. i think it would be really difficult, but i can try!
I'm the opposite really
As for the walk cycle aside from what rtil said I guess, lighting effects would probably take some attention to whatever flaws one may find.
I'm assuming that she's walkning on a red carpet, and usually there are tons of people taking pictures and whatnot, so the flashes of light reflecting off her face and blah blah blah would distract the viewers
well that was an impressive 4 pages
on the walk cycle make her boobies bounce less

the beck is too long
the body is too far down and a bit long
the hips aren't wide enough
*neck
her torso isnt curvy enough it looks like a guy
her head is too centered and should be more to the left
why is it all of your pieces on your first page are good and show a sense of anatomy and this drawing completely throws all of that away
actually i think if she just moved the head down it would solve nearly all of those problem
Yeah I figured either she should move her head down or her body up
i dont really like the fact that shes wearing clothes you knowww
Quote from: Beliefi dont really like the fact that shes wearing clothes you knowww

The body structure on this one annoys me, it's short with a long neck. But that's an exception, I love your drawing style. It's delicious turtles love bingo long time.

so i used to draw models from magazines and i would only focus on proportions of the body. i never drew faces. sometimes i didn't even draw heads. which is why a lot of my full-bodied characters usually don't have them. it's also why my style is very stiff, plain, and boring. i tried finding a style that suited me in the past, but the closest thing to what i was doing was anime. i drew anime for awhile, but i hated how androgynous and simple the characters looked so i tried to break away from that too. i guess i just need to keep drawing shit. i don't know what to do.
oh btw, more motion cycles are in the works. i'll try and finish them up this week and post them, but i have 2 midterms this week so idk. and the next motion cycle will have an old fat man
Argh! Fuck Wacom! Goddamn mainstream tablets! People keep talking about it like it was the only kind of tablet on the entire market! Wacom's grossly overpriced shit! Not much more comfortable than a normal one, ten times as expensive (and not even half as big if you don't want to spend 500 bucks on it...) that shit only sells because it has a popular and common name...
I really like your style, tho...
Well drawing more is basically the best thing to do in your situation.
I can imagine that being a fashion designer wouldn't try to design clothes using disproportioned dummies.
I guess faces wouldn't really matter either considering that it's not what you were working on then.
But uh yeah just keep practicing
adding shading to that picture was like adding sprinkles to ice cream - 10000 times better

behold, the male anatomy. like usual, im gonna do the shading and coloring later on. i was gonna put like a gun or something in his left hand, but i don't know how to draw guns freehand, so i need to practice that first. i know the hair and face look really bad. i'll fix these. im working on an animal and a fat lady right now. i can do the nerdy kid, but i really cannot draw old people :/

that male guy is pretty good, i think the proportions are good, but its hard to tell cus i cant see his knees. but its good! his muscles are also right, its nice to see you trying something else!!
oh and i might give you tips on how to draw old people but you should try yourself first. it might seem hard but its really fun to draw all those wrinkels and details and aaaaaaa im gonna draw one right now
