People have told me that my coloring is great, but my lineart sucks.
So I wanted to try to re-establish the relationship between my mouse and I with this.
I might color later.


Or fix those goddamn hands.

Originally I had her sitting in a spinning computer chair.
I guess the hightech chair made it look gay.
But yeah.
might fix it.

Fucking wish.
I lost the pen/it broke.

Well, to fix your lineart you need to know WHY it sucks.

Line width is crucial. Thicker lines can represent closer objects, lines farther away from the light source, or be used to accentuate shape (for example, making the bulge of a muscle on an arm thicker).

You're putting those texture lines in for no reason. I know what you're trying to do, but it just looks messy, dirty, and confusing.

You need a lot of work on your anatomy. Something's wrong with the number of joints in her pointer finger, her right arm is too short and has no shape or joints, her left arm is foreshortened poorly and is too thick, her left shoulder isn't even attached to the chest, it's sticking off from the body, the boobs are balls glued to the chest, her torso is too small, her shoulders are too thin, her stomach dips in too much, her hips are skewed, her right leg is misshapen- there's more, but I think I made my point.

Your perspective is horrible. Her, the chair, the background, and the console in the foreground are all at different angles. Drastically different ones, they're not even close.

Brush up on the basics. There's stuff in there that shows promise and some skill, but goddamn, you really need to study the very most basic skills. Linework, value, shape, perspective, and anatomy. Then get them to work together.

Now you know.

That didn't help at all, really, I already know whats wrong with the picture. The only problem I have if trying to get the initial sketch to look right to put the lineart over, and I can't get that with a mouse.

My tablet broke and I only started drawing with a mouse again only 2 monthes ago. I want to upload IRL pencil sketches first as the sketch to put the lineart over, but that's cheating the oekaki.


Tl;dr The whole purpose of this is trying to get my hands to work right when making the actual beginning sketch, and I can't seem to get that with a mouse.

I don't suppose you could post something you did with a tablet could you? For comparison sake? I'd really like to see.

I'll look around my files for one I did recently before it broke, right after I started actually studying anatomy.

If your hands worked right in the initial sketch, you'd have the angles and perspective right the first time around. Stop ignoring what they said and see it.

Remember, if the initial scribble is shit in perspective, the rest usually will be too.

Lineart was fine. Console perspective was fucked though.

I looked around my files for the new things I drew before my tablet crashed since I never uploaded them to DA, but I couldn't find one.

I only have this, the newest thing in my files I did with a tablet, and I was fucking horrible at anatomy.

This was drawn about 8 monthes ago, I'd not even started studying anatomy then, but I'll keep looking around my files and try to find where I saved the newer things.


I've grown to dislike this picture very much.

The only thing that keeps me posting is that I liked the hair.

It happened right after I put the buttons on it.

And the pic my MSN /i/ fag friends have been screaming at me for.

I fail at anatomy pretty bad, but I've only been actually trying to study and use the skelaton sketch method since about 4 days ago.

Oooh someone else was drawing while /i/ was down.
So was wondering to you sketch out your pieces before drawing it out with on oekaki or just start from scratch on a mouse?

Christ, OP, can't you just accept your flaws for what they are and stop making excuses all over the place? You need improvement, that's it.

You're not going to get any more skilled with a mouse or get any closer to getting a new tablet if you're CONSTANTLY COMPLAINING about how difficult your life is because you have to use a mouse to draw on the computer.

I guess I'm just a fail bitch then :3

>>169336

/i/ was down for you, too?
I thought it was just me.

And no, I start from scratch with a mouse when I draw.

-

Had to try out coloring this.

I colored it in the oekaki but I wouldn't let me upload because of an "embedded archive"?
The fuck is that.

And I can't fucking get fingers right on here for shit. When I finally get to my new address I'm going to pick up a new tablet on ebay for sure.

Ah, you're not too bad.
Well, let's put it this way, I've seen...so much worse.

With some anatomy practice you should be pretty good.

I actually enjoy your art, mousefag - both lineart and coloring.

I found a basic sketch down on paper then redoing it with a mouse was better than drawing it from scratch and finding that I have to erase it and trying it again because the pose/proportions was not good enough.
