On the road to becoming an artist |
Quote |
Hi everyone,
I've taken up an interest in drawing over the last couple of weeks, and I'm enjoying it so far.
I'm slowly getting better at drawing, and using photoshop, but I've got a long way to go until I'm up there at a level the pro's are on.
There are allot of techniques I need to learn for coloring and shading, but my main problem at the moment I think, is the fact that I don't have a drawing tablet for my pc
Most of the artwork I've done so far is not really lolicon, but is still focusing on lolier characters.
I'll be doing some more lolicon drawings soon.
In the mean time, I'll upload a couple of pictures I've done so far, and see what people think.

Uuuh, note to mods,
The thread page seems to be bugging up, and words are overlapping each other etc.
I wasn't able to find the edit button, to simply add this additional picture into my OP.
EDIT:
OK, so I'm able to see an edit button on my "reply" but not on my OP...
Whats up with that?

1. Edit button: A temporary issue, see http://lah.li/27273 for details
2. Text overlapping: First time I come across this issue, but well, such huge descriptions are usually best placed on the post text itself. Sorry but allowing those extremely long descriptions would stretch the attachments rows too much, what I can think of atm is either abbreviating the text or adding scroll bars, none of which seem like very good ideas.
I can experiment with allowing those boxes to expand naturally so that it doesn't look broken, but even then that's not really the place for walls of text.
Edit: don't feel like brainstorming for such a rare use case, and as scroll bars there would be overly ugly with terribly bad usability, now image attachment blocks' height will expand naturally even if > 250px. However, don't abuse it too much please. It is still much easier to read long blocks of text in the post text itself.
3. Nice work so far.

Experimenting with shading/coloring |
Quote |
Today I've been experimenting allot with color/shading techniques in Photoshop.
I drew a fairly simple loli pussy/penetration pic with the mouse in photoshop for the line art, then experimented with the color/shading.
It's pretty bold, and 'paint like', but that's kinda the look I was trying to get.
Here's the outcome...
P.s. The edit button on my previous posts have disappeared again

More Shading Practice |
Quote |
I decided to go back to one of the other pictures I drew, and go over it more with the shading techniques I learned recently.
There's a HUUUUGE difference.
The idea I wen't for was (again) to create a kinda Paint-like appearance, rather than a pencil drawn appearance.
See the shaded version attached here, and compare it to the original in op OP.
P.s. Aughh... having that 15 min editing period is really annoying, and makes me feel like I'm spamming my own thread -_-
Sorry if my thread appears spammish.

I really like this. I thought your original was pretty good as is and looked like acrylic paints, but I like the increase in the saturation and more defined highlights.

Thanks guys.
I'm honored to have such good feedback from artists as good as you!
I'd still like critique though if you have any to give, because I want to keep improving.

Colored in/shaded fan art |
Quote |
Hi guys,
I was looking over at Boxhead's "reworks" thread, and really liked the art there, so I decided to use one of the pictures there, as a base for my coloring/shading practice (hope no one minds).
Here's the colored version attached.
The original can be viewed here:

New addition to my artwork |
Quote |
Here's my first proper attempt at drawing a loli figure.
First time I didn't completely screw up the face! although the face was still pretty "MEH", it wasn't really the focus of the picture anyway.

Wonderful work, very nice. My only comment the excellent one above would be to narrow her neck on the right side to make her look more natural, otherwise it's awesome.

Loli Penetration |
Quote |
I figured, seeing as I haven't posted any actual "hardcore" images, and because I'm still not quite happy with my ability to draw faces/heads, I may as well make a start.
Pussies tend to be something I find much easier to draw, due to the numerous DE-censoring projects I've worked on in the past.
I decided to make this one look like a semi-painting as well.

Bonus Gif Animation |
Quote |
Hi guys,
I kinda felt like the image I made yesterday was a bit of a tease, with the guys cock sitting just outside the loli's pussy like that, so I decided to make a little penetration animation for it
Enjoy!

I think you have a pretty good sense of form but i would do some studies of light and how they fall on the surfaces.

Yeah you're right. I am still really new to shading, so I haven't been the most accurate with lighting, and casting of shadows etc.
I probably could have done a much better job, if I actually thought about the lighting/shading and where the light is coming from, BEFORE I start drawing.
I think that's my main problem. I don't tend to think about how I'm going to do it, I just do it :/
I would appreciate if you could be more specific about where I went wrong, and how it should be, as that would be allot more helpful.
The whole point of posting images here, is to get feedback on my images, so please be as specific as you can in your critiques.
Cheers!
