Show me your bb's~
Short Story:
Discuss them/tell me about them. I'll randomly come back here to draw them because I need practice before I attempt a shop. :3

ONCE I CREATE 10 PIECES, I will open up a voltra shop. (Counting Hachi's I did as one piece, so 9 to go.)
My style is...not established yet...I'm not trying to go hardcore anime in what I do but not realism either. We'll see how this goes.
Sorry if I ruin your babes.




Currently Drawing:

3/10: Bioshock's Geko (Sketching).

Slots:
4/10: Apollo's Siren, Jordan.
5/10: Priestess's Master of Disguise, Cecilia
6/10: Vintage's bois Jay and Kane (couple pose first try wish me luck when I get here.
7/10: Hopefully enough practice above until then lol sorry if I ruin them
8/10: QT's Bunny girl (Saw a request thread, thought it was cute.)
9/10: Empty
10/10: Empty

FINISHED



What I feel like I'm doing okay at:

Don't hate doing hands, tbh. Not saying mine look great, but I'm not inclined to burry the hand behind the person.
With more practice I think I'll have good hand mechanics- I'm grasping it. (Ba dum tss)

I think I'm okay at digital symmetrical faces transform tool is friend

Almost prefer to do poses that aren't just standing there, crouching, kneeling, stretching,
leg up, kick those sorts of things I feel good about.

Don't mind doing men or women both in art and in romance heh ignore me


What I find myself struggling with most

Clothing wrinkles- I can get a gander as to 'where' they'd be- but actually drawing them, shading the area- confuses me.

Facial expressions for me are limited to eye brow positioning. I'm not very well at drawing mouths or shading lips.
I tried to shade the lips in Hachi's piece on the female and you can't even tell. It's such a small but important feature orz

HAIR is really hard for me. How many lines to draw? how much is too much? How to convey the texture well?
Where to add shine?? Why does it look so flat.

I literally cannot figure out for shit how to use the blending tool in a pretty way.

Coloring techniques are also weak. I need to find what I'm comfortable with. I've seen so many tutorials and..I just physically
cannot grasp it. orz


Currently using the free trial of Clip Studio. Honestly it's amazing, someday I'd really want ClipStudio it is so user friendly.
When it expires, will most likely go back to using KRITA.


Most Helpful Tips given to me so far.

Draw them Naked first Oh

Think of boobs as wonder balloons how they sit. wow that actually helped a lot lmao

Always use your own body as a reference- use joints as a spacial reference. duh why didn't I think of that

Fixing little things does go a long way, don't deem it not worth it to fix small stuff. im lazy but you're right

If you have a dark colored character, you should have a dark colored background otherwise the brightness
will distract the eye from seeing the fine details. Ah!



Honesty Note: Will frequently look up reference pictures if I am confused. But promise I am by no means tracing.
My biggest reference I use (like constantly) is this app: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/artpose-pro/id1322105540?mt=8
(But on android, I don't have an iphone)
If this app fails to help me (which it usually doesn't tbh its thorough I can't believe it has bad reviews) then I will google ref pics
"Picture of girl grabbing apple" "Angry Faces" sorts of deal.
