Momoa's Art.

Yay, I made an art thread! I'm hoping that I'll be able to update it frequently.
Please tell me how to improve my art, that's the reason I made this thread. And if you don't like my art, tell me why. In detail, preferably. But I'd like you to enjoy it.

I used a tablet for this~

I used some arty pens for this.

My art will be sketchy like the above, I'll make them nicer-looking if I have time~

Aw! Very cute! I like the first one a lot, she has such an innocent expression. Aren't pentablet's glorious? I love my little graphire!

As you're looking to improve, I'll try to give a little bit of direction. Try to block out your drawings first, that way they stay balanced and it helps keep the anatomy on track. Speaking of anatomy, don't be afraid of hands! You don't have to always hide them! My final thought for the moment would be to be confidant in your linework. It looks like you got a little wiggly on the hand drawn one in particular. If you make a mistake, you can fix it! Or, like a true artist, you can make it look like it was on purpose.

Okay, thanks for the advice, A Modus Operandi! I shall work on some more drawings soon~
Thanks for the compliment as well, Klaus!

The lines seem a tad wobbly and in the tablet drawn piece, jagged. Which program are you using for drawing? I would assume there's a 'smooth' brush in it, too. Something like that would make the lineart look better in my opinion.

Sorry for no updates, i totally broke my promise ;_;

I take aageeees with my work (usually because I'm slow and nosy parents)
Apologies for the lame excuse
Oh and esalaka, I use paintNET because I don't have photoshop or anything. But I don't usually draw on my tablet because it takes even more time.
Ahh more wiggly work. I try to make my drawings less wiggly, it will be a slow process...
I used my arty pens again for this
and ignore the knuckles and hands they look bad

That's not nearly as wiggly :3

I tend to use MyPaint for drawing with my tablet. It's a nice piece of software.

Yes the hands do look bad (no offense) but the most glaring problem I see is the feet; their just weird and are drawing my attention. The body work, and proportions are nice and solid, the legs kinda look like that one optical illusion with the trident, and the facial expressions are amazing. Keep up the nice art, and work on those hands! Practice!

Hee hee, thank you for the compliments, ILB and esalaka. I've downloaded Mypaint and I'm practicing hands on it. I prefer it to paintNET~
I'll practice more hands, feet, arms and legs so they don't look as terrible. :smirk:

I must say I admire your skill of drawing female characters :love:

But you could practice a bit more on lines, try making them little more smoother.

Personally, I use GIMP. Don't know much about this here Mypaint, butI know from vast experience that GIMP's abilities rival (and in some areas, surpasse) those of Photoshop.

I used to use GIMP before someone pointed me to MyPaint.

Now I use GIMP for general image manipulation and Mypaint for drawing.

Thanks, Klaus. I'm learning a vast amount of infomation. I'm not sure how to change the size of the canvas on Mypaint. GIMP seems useful but it's a little too complicated for my simplistic mind. I don't know how to change to colour of the brush yet, but I'll get used to it

You can't change the size of the canvas. It's practically infinite (as far as there's enough RAM) and is always saved as the smallest possible rectangle that contains your work.

So if you realize you need more vertical space, you don't have to resize - the space is there. Mouse3 moves the canvas and scroll zooms.
Changing the colour of the brush? It's done via the color selector which you can access via Color → Color sampler or by just pressing T. Then you can choose the colour you want from the HS - or alternatively from the color history (also accessible using mouse2!).

(In addition to that, the color selector can, for example, show you color harmonies, which is just awesome.)

Other than that, it looks good.

Edit: Also, it's not all that wriggly.

It seems like the Patisserie Fancomic got the most votes!
There are some characters I had already made up that will be and are in the fancomic but they won't interact with the BCB characters. I don't think they count as fan characters, they are supposed to be from another universe.

I drew the first page, but it looks really messy and terrible so I'm going to have to re-draw and re-post it.
But I thought it might be mean if I didn't let you see it so if you want to see it so here it is.

Spoiler

But i'll take my notebook and pencils so I can draw more pages abroad. I'll post them after the 24th of April.

Have a Happy Easter!

I'm like, um back. Back since too long ago.
Updating this has been on my to do list for hell knows how long. And it's been a month I've been back from abroad.
...So, I'm sorry ._.

Anyways, updates!
So to be blunt, the fancomic is coming along TERRIBLY. My goodness I can't do the facial expressions and the arms and legs so it's hasn't gone far.

However, my own drawings are actually coming along nicely. I found this piece of software which came with my cheap tablet, which is nice enough and easy enough for me to use.

So here are a few snippets of what I've been up to!

I'm... not to keen on her dress... to be honest

I didn't do too well on her hands... as you can see. But I still wuv Augustus, even if he looks girlish and wobbly in my picture

I'm actually fround of this piece. Execpt her feeet and haaands.

Yes, she is supposed crying ILB. I'm sorry if it was hard to recognise!

Oh, and Dr. Klaus it's okay 'cause I actually quite like Augustus x Amaya myself. I just drew it for my own fun and delight. Ehehehe.

I'm back!
I posted some of this stuff on Candybooru, by the way!
So, first off Hair Lucy! >:(

The person on Candybooru said to make the lines more defined, or somehere along the lines of that.

Next! Augustus!

I just noticed that line down his face. Ignore that!

Next! Maid-outfit Jasmine!

This is one of the few drawings I can't find a fatal flaw in.

Next! This has been on the Candybooru!

This was purely for entertainment, not for artistic purposes.

I did some insaane sketches today, but they're scary so I'll not post them.

The knee positioning on that Augustus is a bit weird. It should be a bit lower.
Other than that, I like them. Your pencil skills are quite nice

Aw, thank you all for the positive comments! @ esalaka I'll practice my legs, now you mention it, it does kind of look funny....
And RickAstley, I've now uploaded some form of terrible insanity to the Candybooru. I'll not upload many pencil drawings to the Candybooru because they're dull.

Thank you all again for the positive feedback!

Whoa! Time to update!

I used some charcoals for the following pictures! Guess who they are!

And also:

I did that a while ago and it's messy and quick. But I thought I'd upload it anyways.

Those charcoal ones are nice. May I suggest that you use strokes going in only one direction to avoid messiness; that way, you get a smooth, clean feel.

I find the Sue drawing to be best, if only because Michael's right arm is a bit shoddy - the sleeve and side beneath look slightly odd.

Still, very nice work. ^_^ Who is, ahum, the second one?
