H…here I go…I guess???
jk. Name's Takumi. You probably don't know who I am, and that's cool. I usually post on Paheal, and word of net brought me here. So, here I am.
I'm just a R34 artist that's trying to get better is all. You can tell from my profile that well, I do have potential, but I don't seem to reach that "it." I'm hoping some of you guys could help me out. Comment, critique (much appreciated), and feel free to ask me anything. And with that said, I'll be happy to do some /r/. I won't be able to do everything requested as I'm working on a project at the moment, but I'll still lurk from time to time and answer/draw shit.
Pics related. They're my latest works.

So, I guess the obvious question is: how do I take my stuff…and get better?
I know how to work multiple layers and coloring, but I feel something's missing.

From the pics you have here I'd say you might want to consider more line variance
Most of your lines are all the same thickness, being able to mix up your line thickness might make your pics look better.
My weakness is colouring I find, and non human anatomy ;w;
Also 2lewd4mii '///'
a5547c No.375
>>369>That feel when you want to add depth to the pictures by adjusting different line thicknesses but feel like thicker lines may distract from the coloringI do see what you mean. I just feel that it might clash with the ascetics of the art and make certain parts stick out like a sore thumb. But I will take that into consideration for the next piece I'll do. Thanks for that tip.
>Weakness in coloringI've had trouble with that as well. I usually blend the flat colors with accents to use as shadows and highlights. Whatever mood I want to reflect the picture, I pick the appropriate colors for it.
>2lewd4mii '///'I've always been inspired by lewd artist because they convey a lot of emotions in their pictures using colors. Bah, who am I kidding? I'm a fucking pervert. :P
b105dc No.384
>>375Perverts 4 lyf! <3
Anyway dunno how helpful this is, but I love how I colored this one. (Ignoring that it's not blended). If I remember I used opposite colors. It was mostly done with a yellow base skintone and shading done in purple. Made the colors look a lot more interesting.
b2ea2d No.393
>>384*High fives* Yes!
And I must say, the purple shadowing really makes that picture come alive. I love how you did it. I guess my problem is that I always try to play it too safe when shading and highlighting. I usually stick to warmer/cooler variations of the base colors, but nothing that's too outlandish. I should try experiment more with color contrast to get the results I want.
Next question; what programs are you guys using? If it is Photoshop, what is your default brushes and layer layout you use. Thanks to a friend of mine, I've found working with multiple layers really helps when I'm coloring. I'm trying to learn how to tweak layer channels to give it a visual bloom as well.

Okay, first request… I'll try to be easy.
Two nude girls in a life raft that has just started to spring a leak, there's only one life vest and one of the girls is wearing it (she was the bashful one, and managed to find a vest before abandoning ship with her friend), so she gets the idea to blow up her friend's breasts. One is already quite big, and she's inflating the second one as fast she can. Meanwhile her friend with the inflatable boobs has inflated her non-inflatable friend's life vest by pulling a string on it.
The inflated life vest girl has short black hair and freckles, and the girl with inflatable boobs has long blonde twin tails.
a5547c No.401
>>397I will. I'm looking at my options right now, so feel free to suggest some more. I see it does get good results, but how easy it is to use? It took me awhile to learn some of Photoshop's intricate features and I'm still learning.

dae4cf No.700
>>618Look I finally came back to my own board!
Anyway, response.
I usually don't like the extreme fetishes because I'm really cringy about anatomy (Or my version of anatomy. It's not like I draw realistic bodies). I can't draw someone with an insanely big sex toy or inflating boobs because I know it's not possible and… I dunno, it just gets to me in a really odd way.
a5547c No.711
>>655>practice drawing 3d forms with volume and strong shapes. In the long run it'll help strengthen your drawing and colors.Thanks. By that, do you mean when it comes to shading/adding depth to my pictures, or when sketching, try to visualize it in three-dimensional space?
>>700I guess I have the opposite effect of that then. Very rarely do I draw my porn with reasonable realistic proportions. I know, usually r34 exist in fantasy, but I feel that drawing too much exaggerated lewd may affect my ability to draw realistic anatomy. It's a habit I'm trying to break out of. That, and drawing basic hands. I hate hands.

By that, do you mean when it comes to shading/adding depth to my pictures, or when sketching, try to visualize it in three-dimensional space?I think some of these industrial design artists can really illustrate what he means, although you might not be quite as rigorous drawing the human body because it might stiffen things up.

>Thanks. By that, do you mean when it comes to shading/adding depth to my pictures, or when sketching, try to visualize it in three-dimensional space? These sketches are kind of what I mean, a sense of shape that enhances the overall picture.
You definitely start visualizing it as a #D space during the initial sketch phase.
You can start with say a line of action or a stick figure and start adding depth, volume, and and shape as you go.
It will be the foundation you'll build the rest of your image on.
I hope I articulated that well.
>>713Indeed that's a lot more rigorous then my approach.
I learned through trial and error. So the video is considerably more advanced then myself.
That vid's is gonna be a godsend for me in regards to environment and prop design.
6f93d4 No.719
>>716Yeah, your example is more suitable for figures and things. It would be bad to approach a character drawing the same way ID artists approach an automobile drawing :P I think the skills will carry over though.
This guy also has video tutorials demonstrating a lot of draughtsmanship techniques, but they're paid content, with exceptions:

>>711Hands have always been fairly simple for me. I never had a stage in my life where I was like "Fuck, hands are hard I"ll just use circles or boxes". People envy me for that sometimes. Now, noses and mouths are a whole nother story. Fuck those things.
Right now my hand inspiration is from this webcomic
http://www.gogetaroomie.com/The hands in it just look really pretty and expressive somehow, even though they're super simple. Feet too.
I've kinda been going more into abstract lines it seems. I guess I'm getting more cartoony, as one would call it, but I think my drawings look a lot more fluid than they did before.

Though the way I sketch may have somehow become generically structured.
6f93d4 No.752
>>751I tend think of gesture as just sort of an extension to "line of action", being more about flow than structure.
I will say using THICK brushes seems to coerce that sort of thing, as in the pic. I bet you could do it better.

Update time! I…didn't make it to my deadline. BUT, as it turns out, my partner still needs to contact a literary agent, so it gives me an extension. Which is fine because I rushed my stuff and I wasn't very satisfied with finished work. I'm going to take some of the pictures back and I re-draw a few things. So in the end, I'm still busy, but this time I can finish it right.
I miss you guys and I have some really great pics to share with you all once I'm finally finished. It's gonna take longer, but I'll be back soon.

Made the deadline, nearly lost all of my work, editor dicked us and demanded more revisions, people kept asking for more commissions, and work got in the way as usual. But I'm back for now, and still doing more stuff. Thanks for keeping this thread alive.
>>369I took this advice at heart and went back to the drawing board when it came to my lineart. I feel like scaling back on the thick lines really emphasis the color and doesn't distract from the picture. I've gone and went to thinner lines and softer pen strokes. I hope they've made a difference compared to my previous work.
>>1246This is going to sound generic as all hell, but know the fundamentals and practice them. Perspective, anatomy, gesture. They help in the long run. Don't be afraid to look to other artist for examples and inspirations. Once you have them down, find a style that suits you. And draw what you love. Vanilla? /ss/?
Furry Nazi gore scatplay? What ever you love to do, go for it. Put some passion into your work, and a lot of people will enjoy it. Also, use lots of pink and practice adehago faces. Especially the latter.
Hope that helps.
