@_! Pochi's Sketchies! _@ 5/23

[P o c h i]

Hi! I need help on a lot of things, so I'm going to post my attempts at lineart in here and WIPs! [I hope]

Things I need to work on, most definitely ;_;

1.Anatomy in general
2.HANDS HANDS HANDS
3.Lineart/cleanliness
4.Composition
5.Bare feet

And other stuff ;_;

I have this one major problem with lineart, I use photoshop and whenever I draw hands it's REALLY FRUSTRATING, because photoshop's pressure sensitivity is crappy and I always end up with really icky hands, grrrr. That's one of my major problems. >_>; And my anatomy sucks like there is no tomorrow.

Just to give you an example of what you're in for. ;[

HELP ME WITH ANATOMY ;_;

One of my WIPs. *_*



The anatomical errors are killing me. >_>

I must say... I couldn't draw like that when I was 15... You seem to have a good sense of tone so shading and coloring are good in my book. The only thing that slightly irks me is her right hand is a little short. Elbows should bend at your waist and fingers reach about the end of your.... behind. XD So.. maybe you can make the picture a bit longer to accommodate the length or have her bend it in a way that it will fit. Other than that, I'd say you are VERY promising. 3nodding

Hi Pochi biggrin
I'm just going to comment on the cropping. Right now it's really tight around all sides. Make your canvas taller on the top, by a significant amount. And don't fill the space up. Give it a fair amount of negative space, just make sure it's consistent with your background. You'll find your characters popping out more and it will be more intriguing to the eye.
And I second the statement, I wish I could draw like that when I was 15. You're getting a good start, I applaud you. ^_^

New WIP. can someone help me with the anatomy? I have a REALLY hard time drawing sitting positions and if someone could do a draw over for me that would help a lot. ^^

Hey Pochi *3*

I'm sorry the reply is slow T__T;; I'm sure you already finished it or something, anyhow I don't really see that much wrong with her anatomically...

Her left (our right) arm is a bit short, and the other arm is placed akwardly because it looks like it should be resting on her knee but doesn't meet up with it. :3

I really love her expression and of course your style is awesome as always <3  

[P o c h i]

Hi Tirael! Nah it's okay. Yeah, I tend to draw really short arms, either that or they're too long. I don't like arms!

Thank you. <3

*_* Anatomy is killing me!



Can someone help me make her legs/hips look more natural? And yeah she's supposed to be that skinny [ANOREXIA IS BAD D;]

I have a REALLY hard time making the legs flow naturally, they look so flat and lack the "curves."  

[smoothie2951]

oh! i remember you from DA, i thought your gallery was really colorful 8D~ would you mind telling me what program you use? ^^
anyhoo, i can't really help you with anatomy, since i suck at it too Dx
maybe make the legs longer? it seems squished(?) in place..i think. o_o;; like.. the upper half is longer than the lower half

Oh! Sorry for the late reply.

I use photoshop cs2 + tablet.

Hey, how do you get that water-paint look? I have an older version adobe system, though... I'm also very un-talented with my tablet.
