Akacatgirl's Art Thread

To also known as, you are drawing the face always in the same angle and direction. From now on until you get used to it, draw each character's head in a different direction.

Yes, sir! 8-D

I love your work, Akacatgirl. Good job!

Thank you! It's really heart-warming to get comment like this every once in while :)

To everybody who comments/looks here:
Keep on with the critiques, though. I can't get better without them. ;)
Thanks!

Your work is nice. c:

You mentioned in the sketch though that you feel her knees are too low? No, I don't think that's the problem. It seems as though her legs are actually a tad too short. Or her arms are too long. I've noticed you have some trouble concerning proportions most of all. Which is fine; proportions are a hard thing to get right.

Either way, keep at it. I'll try to help when a sketch is still in the sketch stage, because I realize how useless this information is when the image is already complete. : P

Ah, I see now. That would be very helpful if you just see anything wrong with my sketches. :) I do appreciate critique at any stage, but it's easier to correct when at the sketch phase. (Obviously. :P)
Thank you so much! It's an honor to get help from a great artist like you.

I would have critiqued you earlier but I've been busy and I only got caught up in your art thread now. I'll try to be more prompt in the future. Don't hesitate to send me a message or anything if you need some help, either! : D

It's okay if you're busy, but whenever you're free it's very helpful. ^_^ I'll be sure to message you if I have any pressing issues!

On another note, I'm sorry I've never commented on your art thread, I've been too shy to until now. I'm not very good at critiquing art, but if I ever see or really like something you're doing in your art I'll be sure to comment from now on!

Sorry this is so pixely. When I scanned it it was gigantic, so I had to resize it. Sorry. I saved the sketch, so I may do a digital version if you think this is funny enough.

Haha, awesome! I like making people laugh. You know, my parents look at me weird whenever I draw when they're around...:/

I hope it's not weird to not like drawing in front of other people. I mean, I can do it on stream and stuff, but with people I know personally it just feels embarrassing.

Yeah, that happens to me too! It's like I just lose all ability to draw, and I can't even draw right. I hate it when it happens. :( I have to sneak off into another room so that I can draw in peace.

Thanks! I've found that the more time I put into my sketch, the easier it is to do the lineart. I can't believer it took me so long to figure that out. :smirk:
I did that little comic in about a minute. I'm glad you like it, though! :D

Are you going to colour this, too? If so I look forward to that. c:

But you asked for a bit of critique so I'll try my best to help. I like how the sleeping form is drawn, but the pose of the dreamstate looks very stiff and mechanical. Her arms are too locked, and her one leg follows more or less the same line as her arms, which makes for a very linear line of action. All in all while she certainly looks happy, her pose doesn't really look too comfortable.

I'm not sure if I linked this before, and considering my swiss cheese memory that's not out of the ordinary, but this site is awesome for pose reference: Posemaniacs.com

I suggest adding a bit more bend to the outstretched arm so it isn't so ramrod straight and maybe changing the position of the legs so they're a little less awkward. As for the anatomy, while her torso is drawn alright, there's some iffiness happening with her legs and I am very confused. Her outstretched leg looks like it's a little longer than her other leg, and the knee is at a strange spot. And there's an extra line going on that's sort of adding to the confusion.

Other than that, you have a good base image planned. If you'd like I could do a quick redline to show you the problem areas, but I don't have time tonight. I could give it a shot tomorrow, but only if you allow me to.

I am going to color it too! That website looks absolutely perfect, that will be so helpful! I think I understand what you're saying about the mistakes, but I would love a red line. I'm not going to be able to draw all day today, so I can wait. Thank you so much! :love:
  • #738
  • 21 April 2012 - 12:38 PM
Okai well here's what I have. I hope it's helpful.

This first one here demonstrates what I meant when I pointed out the the legs and the arms are on the same lines and are so very, very straight: http://i46.photobuck...nedreaming1.jpg You want to try and avoid things like that in the future, they only help to make the pose seem super stiff, you see. Here's what you could do to try and fix that: http://i46.photobuck...nedreaming2.jpg simply bending the supporting arm in a little already helps break up the stiffness just that little bit, and changing the position of the legs also really helps.

As for the knees, it was this part here that confused me the most: http://i46.photobuck...nedreaming3.jpg It also makes it seem as though her legs are both different legs. Here's a quick fix to make it look more natural: http://i46.photobuck...nedreaming4.jpg Though since this is still a sketch it probably wouldn't hurt to play around with different posing ideas for the legs.

That's all I have for now, but if you have any more questions I won't hesitate to try my best and answer them. c:

I've been working on this one for a while. I wanted to make sure I colored it nicely and stuff, so I hope you guys like it. Also, I haven't used Copics in a while, so that'll be a nice change, right?
This one is also huge because I think it's just nicer that way. I dunno. If you guys feel it's too big, I can size it down.
