It's October! And that means HALLOWEEN HOLY SHIT
[spoiler=I drew stuff today guys. stuff that isn't lame]I was really feeling one of those moods where I draw Marx and Ryouma if they were in high school and it never fails to be enjoyable.
Dumb headcanons involving Marx needing glasses and Ryouma getting shit for having SUPER LONG HAIR and as a result needing to tie it back which i feel like he'd really dislike for whatever reason.
I literally haven't drawn Ryouma in forever so like idk what i was doing tbh
And then I started drawing Kesta and Harien, aka my precious Kamuis
Remember when I said it was October and that meant Halloween? I remembered that I was going to do this Drawlloween thingy so here's today's entry:
If anyone cares to see them, I also have a fuckload of my concept sketches for my next art project, so holler if you want me to post 'em? -
I apologize for hardly ever replying to this topic; I didn't realize you were open for feedback, Melodic ^^; I'll check in more often to see what I have to offer.
So, for the stuff in this post...
The anime club promo pic looks pretty good to me, overall! I like how you managed to structure her facial features realistically while still keeping her clearly feminine; some other artists (me included) end up making anime women look more like men when we try to structure their faces realistically.
Especially impressed at the accuracy of that ear, too. : >
As far as technical issues go...
- The shoulders should be a bit slopier, so they look more feminine.
- Related to the above point, the muscles between the neck and shoulder should be more visible.
- The part of the top that goes from the neck to the top of the breasts (dunno the right term) seems unevenly placed relative to the neck; the part on the viewer's right seems directly touching the neck, whereas the one on the viewer's left seems more distant from the neck.
This post has gotten a bit long, so I'll end it here for now. If you want more feedback, feel free to message me and/or check out this dA group all about helping people like us improve. I got a good about of quality feedback from there, so I'd say it's worth a look! :)
Thank you so much for your words of critique! I'll definitely take it all into consideration as I continue on ouo
I've really wanted to become a good artist for a while now. It wasn't until about a week ago I realized that I have to really want it in order to achieve. Seeing these pictures encourages me to carry that wish out. I don't know why, but seeing this shows me it's not out of reach. Keep up the beautiful work. Melly you are so great, and I love talking to you. Best wishes.
So...
Where do I start?
I swear to god Mysti, you made me tear up with this ;u;
Where do you start with art? Well, you really do begin with a paper and pencil and envision that which you desire in your mind before attempting to put it onto paper. At first it's not going to look anything like what you imagine it to look like, but as you begin to practice more and more it will become closer and closer to what you desire. I hope that helps?
Also hey!!! I have the final product of my fabric drawing, so here you guys are:
[spoiler=HELL YEAH] Here it is guys~!
Also, thank you all for the really great comments that you guys have been leaving me lately! Your words make me really want to update my thread more often! ouo
-
me jealousy is strong
your talent and skill are stronger
didn't even notice this thread and i am not regretting clicking into it
I'm screaming so hard right now i'm getting so many really sweet comments on my thread and it makes me really happy!!! ouo
-
Why are you so fucking talented I never know what to say because i feel like my words won't compare to your quality of work
Every day I go outside, squinting against the morning sun, when the massive dragon made out of paper descends from the sky to capture me so we may do battle with each other so it may bestow my artistic abilities upon me for the day. I am carried to a mountaintop high above sea level where a massive pencil awaits me, for it is my weapon. A fierce battle ensues, but each morning I emerge victorious and my artistic abilities are once again renewed. That is how I became talented.
Okay in all honesty, thank you so much for your kind words omg I have to say that art is really hard sometimes but it is totally worth all the practice i have put in to become as skilled as I am today. SO yeah thank you so much ouo
-
[spoiler=Ugh I haven't drawn like anything this weekend]Here, have this charcoal drawing of fabric I've been working on

FUCK YEAH I MADE SOME ART YEAH yeah... yeahhhhhh...
[spoiler=Both of these are wips]I wanted a new background for my blog so I'm working on this
And now: Proof i can't draw guys who don't look like fluff balls
There's actually further progression of this drawing but I want to ask about the arm with his helmet in it and how that's supposed to look so yeah.
EDIT: Holy fucking christ i just realized that I've had this thread up for 5 months! Wowza!
-
This one is pretty cool. I really like how the hat looks like it contains the galaxy.
Tons of metaphors assosiated with that too, 'stories/drawings are your own world', etc.
Thank you! I like to think of the hat as being where all the ideas hide when there's not enough space to keep them inside, if that makes sense.
-
i already saved that picture days ago <u<
Aaaaaaaaaaaaa yeah I wanted to update and put it in the thread anyways though ouo
-

Just a few things to show off today, most of which being school projects lol.
[spoiler=I apologize in advance for the sheer size of the images]There is to be no assumption that I, the shark loving trashbaby that I am, would ever perpetuate shark fear and stereotypes.

We're drawing foldy shit for this next project so uh

Zero would totally be the kind of guy to jokingly stick his tongue out at someone when they told him to pose for a picture omg
I have to say, the way you colored his little cape-y thing looks really good on him, so props to you!!
-
Oh my god that Joker pixel is perfect

I feel like i should post a selfie, considering just how shameless I tend to be about them
[spoiler=Lol I take so many selfies]I couldn't decide which one to so i just ended up with all three
omg these are huge
I'm such shameless tRASH about selfies it's great ouo -
w/e the thing is promoting i can say the art has this pleasant vibe to it
i'd check it out
It was a little activity fair to get the incoming freshman more involved in school activities, and I had the task of promoting the Anime club
-
Aaaaand another update before school starts with some school-related stuff.
[spoiler=It hurts my heart when no one replies to this topic]First things first, I have a little something I whipped up for a promotional thingy for the Anime Club i run at school.
And then there's this thing, which is part of my summer homework for AP Studio
To those of you wondering what this is, it's me putting on socks.
Please, I'd really like some feedback on these.
-
I swear, every time I check your thread there's always something magnificent to see!
Your art style is so distinct and I absolutely love it ouo -
Three days later, I've actually drawn things worth posting because the art block has been hitting me hard and so has last week of summer break feeling.
I might post some more of the drawings involved with the whole pokemon silliness but really only if you guys say I should because i can't really decide on my own.[spoiler=Legitimately none of what I draw can be considered serious anymore]
I laugh because all of these images are massive and I'm too damn lazy to resize
Obligatory Lobster Lord art
I'm going to color this in the near-future because I love drawing Marth okay
If any of you remember when I said I'd draw Dancer Marth, here he is in all his heroic glory.
Please, do tell me what you think! I'm always open to comments, critiques, and criticism!

So I've been doing some marker stuff today with these neat-o markers.
[spoiler=MARKERS OH SHIT]I'm still working on blending without murdering the printer paper I've been drawing on.
Harien's skin is too heavily blended, I hurt the paper with it.
Kesta's eyes in the top doodle looked bad so i just sort of crossed them out
My Kamui posting may never stop lol
I also wanted to put art stuff in it's own spoiler so
[spoiler=ART STUFF LOL]This next art project is called 'Rhythm in Motion' sooooo here we have me, twirling a wooden pole as though I were still in marching band
And, for good measure I went to the trouble of making a gif of the full move five times through so you can get a better feel for what's happening in this picture
[spoiler=WARNING SMALL ARTIST WITH WOODEN POLE]
Aaaand that's it for the update! Tell me what you all think!
