This is only loosely related, and certainly not pertaining to any of you, but something I notice with a lot of artists is that their art gets worse over time - they start out with a unique and charming artstyle but as they learn common techniques to "draw better" it ends up making the art loose its charm and look refined and generic. What do you all think are things that lead to this?
>>332792 It's because they receive a lot of satisfaction and validity from the increase in popularity, and there's much less of a market for stylized art It's also why they start drawing touhou then move to each popular gacha
>>39209 The majority of western 2d artists dabble in that to some level, eastern artists might dabble in it but because they have actual talent they're more inclined towards professional work
>>332805 Nemuno is supposed to be old, she's a hag! >>332806 You should draw okuu vaporizing gensokyo in an evil fashion >>332807 We need more men. Draw Dragon Ball niggas
>>332818 >neebs bore boomis just have fun with it. try drawing different things outside your comfort zone, and do life studies. here's an entirely unrelated cowboy frog i drew a couple years ago.
>>332832 thank you i hate arms i hate attaching them to the shoulder i hate not making them not look silly i also don't like hair or midsections thanks for reading
I have no clue what I'm even drawing. This isnt touhou related or really even from anything I just started sketching and seeing what my mind could conjure, kind of like a dream
I posted this originally in /jp/ but I drew Biten a while ago, I remember saying that my mother liked it so much that she hung it on the wall, and yeah, she is still there. It is a parody of Gabriel von Max's "Schlafen gehenǃ" painting but with Biten instead for those who don't get the reference.
>>333013 Nah, it's cute, keep drawing and you will eventually become the artist you want to be, then you will look a your old drawing and you will see how far you have come.
>>333023 I love how the blush blends with the skin. Good job >>333005 Self expression through art reached a totally new level, that's why it's good. but... do never do this with my precious Reimu, please :concern:
>>332993 This looks really nice. Only thing is I think the eyes are too high up on the head, but since it's very stylized, it is reduced to a stylistic choice
>>76503 Text is often poor at conveying emotional intention and my counter reply reduced possible emotional damages while also having a cute gyate to smooth things over
I don't remember entirely why I stopped, I think it was related to WANTING to draw 2hus but sucking majorly at character drawings
Also because I wanted to move to drawing digitally but it was substantially harder and more time-consuming and I didn't want to buy a drawing tablet to alleviate that because that would make me gay
>>333139 Those drawings remind me of medieval artwork or something you would find in an old print. >>333139 Drawing digitally is pretty difficult, what honestly speeds up workflow the most digitally is shortcut keys. It's like comparing how someone plays RTS without it and someone who does.
>>333141 >Those drawings remind me of medieval artwork or something you would find in an old print. That's cause of Darkest Dungeon inspiration - Darkest Dungeon derives heavily from medieval to 19th century artwork. Back in 2018 when I was 14 I was big into Darkest Dungeon, having just played it for the first time.
>>333183 drink enough anerican mtn dew and your piss will be neon too source: i used to drink it a lot in my teenage youth with dortios while playing cod zombies for 8 hours straight
>>333219 dont have sex with tei because she's evil and will definitely do something awful. best case scenario she's fingering your ass. worst case scenario she beats you over the head with a mallet.
Finished the little test run, it was supposed to be Koishi but it looks like Takane. I think it would have looked better if I planned out the anatomical features more. Btw apparently linsneed oil can catch fire as it oxidizes so hopefully this painting won't just erupt into flames >>333279 It would be white because I drank milk
>>333304 It was a video of a babushka getting angry with her husband or son and stabbing him and then it cuts to him naked and bleeding and calling her a blyat
could you archive this fucking thread and create a new one already so my computer doesnt half-near crash every time i want to see my mate's new drawings
>>333417 >eosd gamers "remembering" the names of characters like stage 4 midboss >eosd gamers attempting to remember a proper stage boss name from a game thats only a few years old
>>333410 Yukari has the biggest boobs of all at approx. 105cm bust. Patchouli, Alice, Ran, Reisen, Byakuren, Junko and the cowgirl are all also very large (90-95cm). Everyone else is smaller.
>>333425 Smallest bust obviously belongs to Wriggle Nightbug cause that fucker is a prepubescent male and if you like Wriggle you are a faggot LOL!
Other extras: Reimu and Marisa are both small to medium size but Reimu has slightly bigger boobs and Marisa has a slightly bigger ass Sanae is large and I forgot to mention her earlier Sakuya is average sized in spite of all the pads memes from 2009 Youmu is tiny as if that wasn't obvious
Turns out I don't have any good pink or purple watercolor colours so you'll have to wait for some time until the next OC art. The ink bottle is a part of the art piece.
>>333487 iirc they were a /jp/ colony in /qa/ . then they moved to /bant/. I remember them because they had a couple aritsts with 'em, I wonder where they went
But you made COLOUR FILLING MISTAKES???? (On nue's blue arrow wings, very embarrassing) Also where the kog's arms go? The sketch doesn't tell me. Overall, you did a good job, congratulations! even though I suspect you put in a little bit less effort than you should've had. :aquaPOV:
i made characters ashley is a blond air headed girl kelly is a heckin serious goth chick christina is a hip hop skater girl they take place in the early 2000s
>>333124 I'm not sure if you're still here but your art is really cute, there's something about the girls having their close friends drawn on their underware that drives me nuts.
didn't draw yesterday, thought I'd get more done, chugged coffee, installed Void Linux on my shitbook just to feel like I didn't waste a day, haven't drawn today
Not a drawing but right now I'm working on a lego figure of wife before anyone points out the obvious yes i'm autistic. >>333556 Awesome! I love the brutal and hot colors, they pair well with Okuu's abilities.
Lego... Cotton! Ironically I've decided that this is too big and I won't be building it for now since getting all the parts is too much for my poorfag ass.
>>333601 Here's some AI generated compliments for your hard work! Oh, my stars, what a delightful piece of artwork! The character is absolutely charming, with a lovely smile and such exquisite detail in the wings! The colors are simply divine, and the overall composition is genuinely captivating!
That little touch of "202年" adds a whimsical air to it that is just top-notch! Your AI-assisted creation skills are clearly showing, and I am thoroughly impressed. Keep up the magnificent work!
>Let's go to the place I like... and you don't! ... Wanna jump on the snowdrift. >Kitty why bite?! No bite! >That midget bitch pierced my foot with her niddle! Yell at her, Reimu! >At least eat a cow instead you fucking fuck!! Weeeeeeeeeeeh.
>>333625 Im stuck on wagecucking for the next few days so im not at my computer and i cant draw it with paper and pencil unless i want to deal with the HR lady
Since Utsuho dared to insult my work by saying it "has potential" instead of saying it "is good", I got all insecure and wanted to take on the challenge of drawing a woman posed at an unusual perspective She's not nearly as pretty as the young witch but not all women are made equal Q_Q
It's the same thing as the thing that gets me REALLY mad which was back when people would say "this is the map ever" of my maps in order to avoid saying "this is the WORST map ever" Just fucking say it you coward In short, passive-aggressiveness makes my blood boil
So I basically realised my soul has high potential to imagine things which are cutesy and I tried to realise that potential but before I know it it turned into something very stylistically different so I guess I have a lot to learn
>>333726 yes! it is miserable to learn! it has a god awful price of entry, you need decent quality paints and paper or else its complete dogshit to use now i actually kinda enjoy it a little
>>388083 woudl you let me and watch me having sex with your father if you were in a mask and he didnt know it was you but i would still ruin oyur relationship to him but also probsbly yhe ohtehr family
