just the upward one is really awkward. idk how to draw them either though so I can't crit you. the others look fine

Well, youre here to get critiques right, so you got them in the right thread C:

The middle one is good. As for the one to the left, sometimes its easier to break things down into simply shapes, I know youre working from reference, but it helps to break them down to understand the core fundamentals of how shapes form the basic figure.

Red line

Keep it up dawg C:

Thanks for the redline. And for reminding me to break things down.

Testing to see if linking to the gallery works:


I've been doing a lot of reference stuff and realism recently, so I figured I should relax and draw anime again. So there's Siren, drawn on the Oekaki doodle board.

First Saimoe entry.

EDIT: Updated, removed terrible sand effects, added lines, fixed some little things.

Why isn't there any outline?

[Matt]

I locked the opacity on my line layer and colored the lines the darkest color of the area they covered. It looks a bit rough, but my lines were pretty bad to begin with.

[mimi_kiel]

Well covering the lines with another color isn't a very good Idea, At first I thought OC's Kyoshka doesn't have a black outline but I was wrong when I examined it.

It just have a very thin line about 1 or 0.8 pixels and the opacity of the line is about 50% or lower, that made it look like it have a different coloring effect.

still, you did a good job with it, I like your choice of scene

[Matt]

I'll add an outline and update it again, then.

[mimi_kiel]

err.. you didn't have to.. it's pretty hard to outline that now.

I'm just saying you should try out how OC do it the next time, or next next time you color something.
it doesn't have to be now.

Just remember when coloring a pic it's better to make it thin lines so the color stands out more.

I'm worried about you Sylux.
