desperately needs advice

[Alexei Nacht]

hello. I have some art pieces here that i've drawn in tthe past months. (my tablet broke so I couldn't draw any further :c) I could use some criticism and advice on how to get better, if that's okay?

Your art is really colorful and you have a nice grasp at anatomy. There are still a few anatomy issues you should look out for, such as the ankles and feet shape look off, and the shoulder on the red girl is too far out. The shading of the blue girl's skin looks pale in contrast with the shading of her clothes, and I'm not sure where the light source is coming from. I'd also recommend practicing brush strokes so you can have smoother and more flow-y line art.

Thank you! Anatomy's the only thing I've been studying these past years and I still can't seem to quite perfect it. I'll take note of what you've said, and I'm quite curious as to what and how you practice these brush strokes? Do you mind explaining more about it?

It's been months since I've last drawn and this is most recent drawing I've done, it seems that the rust has gotten to me :c

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels as in you do these pictures in one go? Your anatomy suggests that you draw the clothes right as you hit the clothing spot. You can try sketching out the entire body with no clothes before hand, it will help a lot with a few awkward spots. For example, on the shoulders, instead of sleeve right away, draw the entire shoulder going out to arm THEN put the cloth on after.

For tips on anatomy, always study it. Look for reference pictures (Though obviously not copy entirely) to see how others may draw certain poses, or look at pictures of real people in the poses you with to draw!

I always sketch out the base of the body entirely before I add anything like clothing/hair/ect.

If you arent sure about the anatomy, flip the canvas 90 degrees and see how it looks.

If you can't do that, leave the drawing for even as little as fifteen minutes and come back to it and see how it looks to you. It's hard to pick out flaws if you do it all in one go!

You are worlds ahead of me. Great work, keep it up.

I love how you color them. Very vibrant and eye-popping.

As for anatomy, you should grab a sketch book and practice that freehand. Beauty magazines, porn, racey images in google search, other anime artists. Definitely don't copy if you're going to publish a work for people to see.

People don't tell you to trace, but it does help. Tracing anatomy helps you get a "natural" feel to how anatomy is supposed to be, opposed to drawing out the skeletal shapes. I would take pictures of myself and use that for drawing references, or use a friend's facebook pictures.

You have proportions down fairly well, just work a lot on those minor details and you'll see a big difference in your works in just a few short months.
