really cool fusion actually. and solid adaptation on your part.

i can see improvement in your anatomy and line quality.

however keep in mind that the apex of the hip in general is lower on the thigh... for her left side from this angle the apex should be more down the thigh. her right sides apex is correct only because from this angle her butt would be contributing to the shape.

hope that makes sense... its really hard to critique without a marker XD.

great start to the year!

there is a pretty odd discrepancy between your cartoon art and your Life studies. (btw you are doing life studies!! Holy cow you have no idea how stubborn people can be about that... you are already leaps and bounds ahead of most artists on here. keep at it!)

your life studies seem to capture "form" decently well..,. but your cartoon works completely lack it. i assume this might be because you are relatively new to art being as young as you are.

i would recommend doing some planar studies to help you understand the forms of the human body... after you have done a decent amount of them try to do one from your imagination....

past that doing some figure studies and gesture drawings to help your anatomy and posing will work wonders.
a good site for this is "line of action"

keep up the good work!
i look forward to seeing how you improve.

Thank you so much! Yeah, I'm kinda new to really dig into art. And I actually was going to study anatomy and gestures because I know my lack of understanding on how things come together. I also started a huge sketchbook where I only sketch bodys with a different random poses website lately.. And the idea to start doing planar studies is great, thank you! :)

really nice!

if i had to say anything it would be that i really feel the skull should probably be more visible.
maybe lighting the front of the face a bit more.
idk.

looks great either way.

in General your Art is pretty good and you have had quite a bit of improvement since your first post back in may... but you really need to work on some better posing. and some anatomy.

it seems like the bulk of your anatomical knowledge comes from copying anatomy in anime... which is passable but it pigeon holes yourself into this style... not to mention you dont really know what what forms you are trying to emulate.
you should really do some realistic anatomy studies. it will translate well into anime.
you dont have to show anyone your realistic studies. i typically dont. but then again im more of a cg artist. and my drawing is more a tool to explore forms for sculpting 3d objects.

we have herd it time and time again. "im doing cartons/ anime so i dont need to study Realism".... trust me it helps alot.
we were all like that as young artists and we all eventually come crawling back to realism once we hit that wall and dont know why we aren't improving...
just save yourself some time and head ach.

i recommend this website if you want to study better poses.

and for anatomy i recomend the book "The attlas of human anatomy for the artist."
its available here for 4$ in ebook form only for the next 32hours.

hope that helps.
Best of luck!

Really Cute <3

Generally speaking all the images in this set have the same problem.
you really need to work on your lighting. typically a 3 point set up consisting of a key light, fill light and back light with only your key light casting shadows is good... but above all find reference images of the lighting you want to achieve and try to replicate it.

there doesn't seem to be alot of contrast between the character and the environment. if thats what your going for then thats fine but i think you want the pin up subject to pop more then it does.

also some post processing wouldn't hurt. lens distortion, Depth of field maybe motion blur if its needed.

keep at it!

AcetheSuperVillain responds:

Well, all my 3D skills are a work in progress, and lighting and post processing are definitely not my cup of tea yet, BUT, I didn't use 3-point lighting because I want it to look like a dungeon, not a studio. I'm also trying to do a bit of story-telling with the lighting, the full pin-up set is 14 images, which I'll upload here after they are available on Patreon, the artistic choice will hopefully be more obvious as the scene progresses.

The scene is lit mainly by the torches, they are prop-lights and they have orange-tinted point lights. The dungeon cell has a blue-purple light to differentiate it from the outside. There's a spotlight that changes position from image to image, mostly using it to achieve a make-shift vignette effect, or direct focus or break up flat color areas. I did realize a little too late that the orange colored wallaby in an orange lit scenes is not the best idea. What I should have also done is added in that fur-edging effect that Kicky the Roo has. I actually removed it because this model is destined for use as pre-rendered game sprites for RPG Maker and the edge effect doesn't look good in sprite size. The theory is that I can achieve a model that looks good as both a small gameplay sprite, and as a larger model for status portraits and cutscene artwork and so on.

I don't really understand fake camera post processing techniques. I mean sure, if it's meant to match live action footage, that makes sense, but for pure CG scenes, if you have the ability to make something more clear and realistic than a camera, then go for it. But then, this isn't supposed to look realistic, it's supposed to look cartoony, so if I was going to post-process it, I would be looking into stuff like edge lining and paper textures or screentones. Depth of field might work, but I worry that a realistic looking effect like that combined with such a cartoony character and background would look odd.

Not bad at all man. Keep at it.

Really nice!
