The first 2 pictures are Gaiaonline Avatars, the other 3 are original ideas. I'm not exactly good at lineart, coloring or any of that, but i'm sure with a few more months of focus and what not, i can improve. Like maybe i just shouldn't try to blend my colors. They just seemed to look better solid. I'll just learn to use the blur and water a different time.

Soy bb pls.
Damn these are good. When did you improve?

SOY A BEANZZ A
These are pretty flippin' good man.

I think 2 days ago when i was trying to figure out how to actually use pain tool sai. Now i just need to figure out my color theories, lineart techniques and the physics of pressure upon surfaces. I dont think my anatomy is bad enough to care about, although i need to wxplore different poses to prove that. For that i want to dtaw more kawaii desu girls because i like it. I think i might need to draw landscapes too. Pictures look so bland with out a background.

Thank you veir4 and kieran x3. I love you guys!

Holy shit Sonoya long time no see, I didn't know you drew and these aren't that bad, but they're not without problems. Sometimes limb seem stuck into place and the neck seems non existent.

I can see what you mean by the limb. Some of them do look like theyve been dragged and dropped like an object in flash but that might be because of my flaws of clothing fitting and folds. The neck part, thats y attempt at reducing features to ake it cuter. The less there is the cuter you know? Lol
Well thank you so much for the analysis. I can always cont on you guys.

Nice pics bro. You just need to work on your coloring skills. You should watch Sycra's video on color theory on youtube. Also I didnt know you were still active on here. I saw the WIP of the 3rd pic on Facebook. It's Tijan btw xD

Teach me you sexy fucking fucker.

Lol hey tijan. His subject matter deters me from looking for that video.
@ElkiousAnims, i still have much to learn before i teach you young padawan.

This is okay, but not at all as good as everyone seems to allude to.

As an example, The first one is perhaps the most glaring one. The body is just bad. Neither article of clothing looks convincing, the cleavage is done badly, navel looks like a miniature hole, and the whole body overall looks more like like a tube than an actual human body. the perspective is completely wrong as well, seeing as how the clavicle and head imply that we're looking at her straight on, yet we can see much of the top of the legs. Said legs are also spread weirdly. and it's glaringly obvious that you are bad with feet.

Likewise in the fourth your perspective is all wrong. Foreshortening is badly done and unconvincing, the left arm is broken, and the entire pose is incredibly stiff; as if I was looking at a stickman without joints in either limb. Did I mention he's doing the splits? He shouldn't be doing the splits.

The last looks fine torso wise as far as I can see through the sketch llnes, but it looks as though someone had compressed or shattered her pelvic bone. Her legs seemed to have merged with each other, and it's impossible to tell what you are trying to do.

tl;dr yes your anatomy is noticeably bad and you should return to gestures and foreshortening practice (not necessarily with figures). Color theory is fine, but there is no point in learning line pressure when your line art doesn't work quite well in the first place.

Try not to skip on detail. It's experience lost.

The navel is not quite an excuse when you've utterly misplaced it, unfortunately.

When dealing with perspective, understand that any two objects of the same orientation should roughly have the same horizontal lines, if that makes sense. It's at least a rough guide, and the rest will be for your eyes to judge.

If you know you're bad at hands do studies. Find references, draw more.

Colour theory is pretty much how to colour and shade.

By tubes I meant that the body lacked any distinct features that makes it look three dimensional and well, body looking. When I look at the girl, all I see for the body is a curved rectangle. I could not, with certainty tell you where the ribs are, or the hips, or any other landmark. It's just a flat hourglass.

Trying to follow along, I could hardly comprehend any of what you were saying, mostly because I'm not as experienced. But I do have to say that your second critique paragraph made a whole lot more sense in regards to the tube body thing. I didn't even notice until you pointed it out the second time.

I understood the part about the feet and the one leg being weird, but not really the part about them being in the wrong perspective. I also didn't understand the thing about the belly button.

The underwear being missed place I noticed right off the bat, but the chest and bra thing I still don't understand what's wrong with it.

I guess it's more important that the artist who drew it understands what you're talking about, but I just wanted to let you know what I understood of your critique. I also wanted to say thanks for this critique because it'll probably help me with my art as well.
