OMG YESSSSSSSSSS

SO COOL

thank ye coyote!
 
Are you using a tablet? From the examples you posted, I think you want your pen pressure to include opacity in you're brush strokes. Alternatively you could use a texture brush for a grainy look.

Idk what method or practice would be best for you.
 
I'm not using a tablet. Which is probably the problem, and we have one, but I have no idea where it is. I've tried using it before and ugh. I might find it again. Though I hope the pen is with it.
 
wew i've been productive artisticallty today!

so here's some of my good friends drawn as monkeys

And here is a Mira, I loved Coyote's modifications to her outfit so much that it'll probably become her new canon outfit.
 
Don't take fashion advice from me. I probably committed some fashion crime. That top? With that dress?
I don't have any sense for women's clothing. Or any clothing. I'm not even good with armor.

I was only trying something different because a lot of your characters wear the same baggy sleeves and sash thing. I felt like there were more things to try. Expand my visual vocabulary or whatever you call it.

It doesn't matter, I personally love the design, and it's a break from the typical 'Fyori-esque dress and undershirt with sash combo'.

Case in point. :0

Here's a goofy drawing I did of Koko, Lumi and Lilac.

Gimp has a Smooth Stroke option. I tend to use it if I'm inking a long continuous line in one slow stroke.
Also, when you draw really big, imperfections become negligible. They'll disappear when you scale it down to regular viewing size.

Omg. I almost had a heart attack. I had scaled the whole thing down to MV's battler size for comparison to take a screenshot. But then the UNDO history disappeared! Luckly I saved just before I did that.

I learned I can't draw turtlenecks for shit.

Okay, an actually good piece now.

It's Lumi Fuzz, the Lunar Hare, sleeping her face off like a rabbit, because she silly.
 
Been dancing around this all week. Not completely satisfied with the pose. Just...a bunch of little stuff that's all off. Feels awkward.
I suppose it's because I originally imagined him reaching for a sword over his shoulder. IDK why I'm resisting redrawing the arms.

Did a sloppy color/lighting test.

Idk what I'm doing.

i think its mostly because he has no direction in his action, like... what is he doing?

looking up casually while reaching up for tonfa stick and also stepping a little prance?

my friend Kate (incredible artist who is in the BIG LEAGUES) linked me this and it has been INCREDIBLY helpful for giving my arts a less 'pin-up' feel.

and some NSFW lewdies

i'm told im getting much better at drawing tits
 
looking a fair bit better, where are his eyes looking though?

if you're having trouble i recommend doing some illustrated comics, this helps not only with forcing you to draw characters doing actions, but helps you understand them better, too

doesn't have to be anything flashy, it just helps tremendously in caricaturing... erm, characters!

drawing busts aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
 

Jason

Awesome Bro

Seems like she's in the middle of doing something while pulling faces... I don't know, just seems a bit weird to me, since if I were drawing a bust it'd just be stood stil, lol.

Either way I do like the choice colours and the linework is an improvement over some of your other stuff... the hair seems a little... unnatural if that even makes sense, not sure how but it just doesn't seem to sit right. Also the eyes really stand out since they don't match the rest of it, although that seems intentional, so y'know, can't really complain there, lol.

Truthfully I hate it as well, everything feels off.

The eyes are indeed meant to look abnormal, but I agree, the rest looks bad. I was trying to find a style which I could draw quickly, but alas-- 'twas not to be!
Also it's 3/14, so feel free to go check out the big dealie over hereio: http://crazychimpcollective.blogspot.com.au/

I'll make a new thread for that big announcement. Until then, here some rough doodleeos.
