Horse legs are weird on a biped creature. The neck looks very long and thin compared to the rest of the body. Combined with the large skull and eyes it is very alien anatomy. Also to me the subdued smile combined with slightly closed eyes can be interpreted as being sinister in some ways. It makes me think of one of those horror movie dolls that comes to life and stabs the crap out of you.

Okay that's radical. She was based off of a china doll I used to have as a kid, actually.

I can see it, if it helps it reminds me of Margaret Keane (Tim Burton Big Eyes). It's only a tiny bit creepy for me  . By all means I personally don't think it's a bad thing, and I think this one is the best of the bunch that you posted imo.

Oh no worries, friends! Art is subjective, and I like hearing everyone's opinions on things. Thank y'all so much for the compliments, though, I have been trying really hard to get better.

To me the black background immediately made me think of creepy instead of cute. The doll itself is pretty cute, and very well drawn! I think I'd have an harder time seeing the creepiness if the background was brighter/colourful. But I'm not an artist so I don't know if that makes sense to someone focusing on drawing the character itself.

This is what I do at work since it's a quick way to get results. For this one, I'm not using photos at all, and painting everything from scratch.

Photo bashing is this basically: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqv0HcEJKl8 Putting a bunch of pics together so you have a lot of information quickly. It also helps with getting proportions and perspective right (it can also backfire if you're not careful). You then paint over the photos until you get a nice finished piece. For my last illustration, i only went with a sketch, and then render. I had photos for reference, but I didn't paint over them if that makes sense.

I get what you're saying. I sometimes do a (very crude) form of that for my initial sketch. I've been trying to make an effort to only use pics as references but trying to get the right proportions on some stuff is infuriating without a base for it. Proper anatomy continues to elude me.

I'm not good at working carefully from reference without accidentally making it look like a really stiff copy so I have made it a priority to try to get better at some basic anatomy stuff so I only need to look up how specific muscles wrap around limbs in specific poses/etc. I have been surprised how hard it is to make the muscles that make up the armpit mesh together well, especially on more muscular people

I'm trying to get into digital art. I used to love drawing when I was a kid but my style didn't really advance at all and at around 10 I dropped it all together. I always had a passion for drawing mixed with shame over how lovely my drawing was. Now 20+ years later I want to learn. I managed to get my hands on a Wacom tablet through a friend. I got photoshop. Went through a bunch of tutorials to get some understanding of the program. Then came the time to draw something and I just really suck at it so bad. I can't even make a circle or a straight line. If I imagine a shape in my head it comes out like 70% of what I imagined. Where do I even start here? I mean it's not even stick figures. It's less than stick figures. It's crooked stick figures. I'm thinking maybe it's partially the complete unfamiliarity with the tablet and pens/drawing in general I started downloading Simpson characters and put them on a background layer at 50% opacity and then just practised filling in the lines I took this character and just tried filling in the lines and colour it.  And the result was.  Like the lines don't even go where I want them when all I'm doing is following the background lines. I have no problem hell sperging something for a hundred hours when it comes to practise from the ground but where do I start? Katt fucked around with this message at 19:42 on Mar 17, 2018 |

I wouldn't worry. First of all getting use to your tool can be a battle in of itself. I see a lot of people who use photoshop "control/apple z" their lines to get the right "feel". The thing that helped me the most is finding out there are many different ways to draw, many different techniques to achieve the same goal. Tracing is one technique but not the only. Half the battle of drawing is understanding how your mind works. For me https://drawabox.com/ was helpful. One suggestion on that site is to just draw circles, and lines, over and over to get use to the feel. But that doesn't mean you should feel bad if that site isn't helpful for you. It just means you have to move on to another tutorial/YouTube channel and figure out what helps for you. Posting your artwork, and asking for advice is also a great first step by the way  . I liked that you decided to make Homer barefoot.

Posting your artwork, and asking for advice is also a great first step by the way Aw thanks that's good advice, Photoshop from scratch was really daunting. It has to many features that to me is just so far out there. Like hold a button and draw a line and all of a sudden half the screen explodes in a mix of coloured stripes. The barefoot part was an accident. After drawing it I started colouring it. I then realised that I wasn't really learning anything by manually colouring this thing for 20 minutes so I started looking for shortcuts. I started looking for some form of filler tool like the paint  thing. I couldn't find one and while zooming in I realised how "soft" the brush strokes were and maybe a filler tool wouldn't even be practical if I found one. Also the lines were on another layer all together.I started selecting areas and filling in the selections but when I did the arm I still had the shoes selected so the shoes become yellow too. It looked alright so I went with it.

Katt posted:Aw thanks that's good advice, I am not super familiar with photoshop (because I never liked working with it), but I couldn't find the filler brush either, what I do is select the area that you want to colour, then go to Edit, then choose Fill and pick the colour. If your brush strokes are very soft and leave a visible edge when you fill them, you can pick layer content from your lineart layer by ctrl-clicking on the pic thumbnail, then going to Select - Modify - Contract and contract your chosen area by a pixel or two, copying THAT smaller selection, and pasting it onto a new layer under your normal lineart layer, then colouring that. On the other hand, you can pick your lineart layer content, go to Select - Modify - Expand, and expand by a few pixels, and then filling that in with black on a new layer that you place on top of the lineart layer you want to colour. This way, in both cases, the thicker lineart on the top layer will hide the incompletely filled edges that happen on the lower layer. Handling the "wobble" when painting digital is a big part of the learning curve. It comes out most when you're taking your time with a line. Pull your lines quick and confident, or zoom in so much that after you're done making the line and pull back, the wobble will be invisible. It also helps to hide the wobble if you keep the pic far bigger than the end result will be when you're working on it, then shrink it to where you want it when you're done. Other option is getting Paint Tool Sai, which has a function that reduces line wobble. It also lets you treat each line as a separate entity if you wish, where you can push and pull and smooth it out to your hearts content. I think Corel Illustrator does that too? Either way you're currently not getting any line width variation and I'm not sure if that's because of the paint brush you've chosen or because your pressure sensitivity isn't working right. You'll need that if you want to repeat that lil homer!

Look up some tutorials on masking that will help you a lot. One thing you can do is select an area with the magic wand tool, apply the selection as a mask to a layer then you can fill it and that'll work. If you want to separate say a character from the background, you can use the magic wand to select the area around the character, expand it by 3-5 pixels are so if you got rough lines then invert it and that works too. Masks are nice cause you can always alter them by selecting and painting them in with either black (to block out the layer) or white (to let it show). So definitely take the time to familiarize yourself with masks if you are gonna use photoshop.

Also a lot of it just comes with practice. At the end of the day the physical act of drawing is a motor skill and practice will improve your accuracy and muscle memory. Just because your hands can't draw what you imagine yet doesn't mean they never will. People seem to think drawing is an innate ability rather than a learned skill. You wouldn't expect someone to be able to play an instrument having not touched one for ten plus years. So don't beat yourself up that you can't do it yet. Practice practice practice and I'm sure you will succeed!

Oh sorry! I got caught up in some editing some nazi klurf guy comics in the political comic thread but I'm back to drawing practise. Original  New  Australia version  I know I know. Editing other artists work is Anathema but I felt a spark of inspiration. I started going through the exercises from drawabox and they have been really helpful.
