  1. Haha I didn't believe it myself but when I went to comic con and watch some of the marvel artist draw they start drawing from some really hilarious places (nose, super detailed arm). It blew my mind stupid until I realized they must have drew this like 100000 times lol. Still I agree, most of my most fav comic artist will start off with a rough figure too.

    For eye width I found it useful personally. I find it hard for me to tell anime artist how to use it though because their eyes are so strange and varied lol. So I think for artist who think of the real eye when they draw anime the eye measurement is useful.

    5 eyes across the head, 5 eyes from the nose to the dip in the clavicle, the 5 eyes down to the end of the sternum. Of course this is just a general proportion, everyone is different.

  2. How I draw with structure vs Draw freehand.

    This is just something I noticed when I draw with friends who don't draw much. They have a tendency to start with the eyes. There isn't anything wrong with that, however it makes thing harder for yourself. That is unless you're a experience artist in drawing a style, then you pretty much do everything in your head. I know artist that can draw Wolverine perfectly starting from like..the ear xD. The important thing is proportion and being used to them.

    Drawing from the eye:

    Let's say I want to draw Conan today. Because Conan's eyes are fantabbyabulous I start there.

    The problem is what I do after. Let's draw the next eye.

    Hmm maybe it's a bit too close. Since that eye I drew is so pretty I don't want to erase it...let's erase the other one instead. Thank goodness I didn't detail it yet. After a while of trial and error and staring at reference I get the rest of the features down.

    But hmm how far apart is the face? Where should the line go. I'll just make a rough guess.

    drawingstucture3.jpg

    Hmm it's a bit wide I think, but I'm not sure how to fix it exactly. People should be able to tell that it's Conan though. So maybe I should just continue down. But how wide is the shoulder...? The head is finished so I don't want to move it!

    And then I get kinda stuck and just leave it lol. /eh it's good enough quit

    Drawing stucturally

    I'm much better drawing stucturally since I'm not comfortable with Gosho proportions (it's strangeee lol). I still don't really use Gosho's proportions, for Conan I make up my own:

    I want to draw Conan checking something out at the crime scene. I draw the circle and a CENTER LINE to show which way Conan is facing, then I drop down to draw the chin. I add the rib cage, the neck and the arms. <DRAW LIGHTLY>

    drawingstucture5.jpg

    I very simply put the features down. CIRCLES for the eyesockets, a line for where the hair begine. Simple so it's easy to erase and change. Notice that I don't just focus on the head. The hand and the prop is also important. <DRAW LIGHTLY STILL>

    drawingstucture6.jpg

    I don't like the hand so I change it, I also add eyelid, some expression to the face and hmm I don't like the other arm at all...let me think <Draw slightly darker>

    drawingstucture7.jpg

    drawingstucture8.jpg

    I decide that Conan is holding a test tube and a swab. I roughly block in what the eyes will look like though I'm open to change it anytime. I make sure to measure the length of the arm against each other so it's more or less the same keeping in mind foreshortening. Notice that I don't care about detail of the hand too much yet.

    drawingstucture9.jpg

    The head is too small and makes him look too mature. Starting to use MULTIPLE REFERENCES here to fix the eyes the hands the hair etc... Try NOT to copy your reference! Keep to your original idea. <use pencil to draw slightly darker with more precision>

    drawingstucture10.jpg

    Built the hand from self reference (hence why it kinda sucks lol, I don't have a camera atm) add slight detail to suit, use reference for hair. Sign. Clean up drawing if needed. I'm not since this is just a rough sketch.

    drawingstucture11a.jpg

    If I decide to build the rest of the body. Adding the pelvis and using cylinders for the legs, it's easy to quickly rough in the idea~

    drawingstucture12b.jpg

    That's my process for sketching. I hope this gave you something to think about~

  3. For me I have my tutorials in one thread and my drawings in another thread. What I''m saying is that I don't make 3 new threads for my 3 new sketches that I drew today and another 3 new threads for my 3 pages of tutorial (for example). I keep them in my 2 threads.

    As for posting only DC/MK work, this forum has no rules against that so people can post whatever they drew. I personally try to only post DC stuff on here but that's simply a personal choice.

    As for posting fan art that doesn't belong to you, on a forum that I frequent that is a banable offence. In DCTP forum on the other hand sharing of fan art is encouraged. However Artist that strictly say they do NOT want their pics shares online will have those pics protected and if people try to steal art people will call them out on it. People who are sharing should post on specific threads that are for fan art sharing purpose, website and artist should be stated.

  4. If you don't want people to see your old drawings you can just remove them. Just edit or delete the post where the old picture is. My thread over at dctp for example, I would delete the old sketch everytime I update it. I stopped doing that when people asked me not to, but you can still continue to do so.

  5. I'm sure most people are already aware or already do this. Just being redundant and putting it in text :>.

    Whenever I come here and I want to check out drawings, I find it kinda hard to do so for a few reasons:

    1. Images are surprise!huge. Y u no spoiler box and y u no resize ;n;? My computer sucks you know.

    2. I'm not even sure what I looked at or didn't look at anymore xD

    It would be nice if people with large images put their images in a spoiler box (so we don't have to load it if we saw it already) and for people who post multiple drawings at a time to please put it all in one thread instead of making a new thread for every picture (and double posting).

    For repeated posters they could make a thread for their pics. I notice some people doing that here already :>. It's just so much...neater? Also you can track your progress that way, seeing how you used to draw like 2 years ago and seeing how you draw now.

    For advance!level:

    If it's a picture you traced or used a single reference for you should say so, just sayin :ugeek:.

  6. Dear anonymous,

    You're a bully who likes to pick on people weaker then you with words. I don't know why you do this, but you won't be the boss forever.

    PS: The girl you just hit on at the bar is my beautiful Dominatrix friend. I'm just going to sit here and wave happily at you two instead of warning you : ). Have fun~

  7. Visuall novelsss <3

    Fate stuff of course, amazing <3

    Higurashi, so much love <3

    Umineko, finished before school went crazy. All I can say it HHNNNNGGGG

    Played some Hentai 18+ stuff too. Mostly for the lulz (some of them are so hilarious).

    Well there is stuff like Nassisu and Kana Little Sister that made me bawww but then I played the non H versions.

    And of course I played yaoi stuff (more lulz ftw). It has a tendency to induce facepalms though (why are fangirls so sadistic LOL).

    Played Ef~fairy tale of two and the rest of the stuff. I blame Makoto Shinkai.

    Played some Otome stuff like Heart no Kuni no Alice mainly because of the demand. Though I have to admit Heart no Kuni is amazingly hilarious. (Guy: Come back to me! Marry me! Girl: What? FCK YOU! I'M GOING HOME! Guy: YOU'RE COMING BACK TO MARRY ME EVEN IF I HAVE TO TIE YOU UP AND FORCE YOUR MOUTH OPEN TO SAY "I DO". Girl: WHAT'S THE POING IN ASKING ME THEN YOU VIOLENT PRICK!?). So. much. lulz.

    There was this one novel I was about to play. There was a character in it that has a gag version of Conan called "Zero" instead of "shinICHI" xDD. I need to play that.

  8. School days so count. NICE BOATTTTTT.

    Madoka, those stupid dandelion fluffs with mustaches haunted my nightmares for WEEKS.

    Do manga count or do you only want anime? Umizaki is a classic horror read (SPIRALSSS). Do manhwa? Lots of good korean horror stuff.

  9. Kirite peeks up from below the floor boards at the activity above. It seems more and more DCW members are approaching THAT SPOT.

    It's perfect, the device is changed up, the trap is set. The world would soon belong to us mole people!

    ....maybe later. Kirite and the rest of the mole people is actually too lazy to implement any of this. It IS fun digging tunnels so she can spy on people though.

    /creep creep creep creep creep creep

  10. Hmm I think it's hard talk about depression, it seems to have a bad reputation. Sometimes you can pull yourself out of it, and sometimes it's more serious then that. Either way it takes understanding and having people who just listens. Good luck to everyone who is feeling a bit down since it's the end of term.

  11. And how exactly did Akai turn into Amuro's look anyway ?

    The same way that Vermouth look like Araid probably. I didn't realise after the Shiragami-sama case where someone plastic surgery their face to look like Shinichi that it's still considered impossible to change your face/body/whatever to whatever the hell you want it to be in this manga.

    With that said I don't think Amuro's Akai, I'm just saying you shouldn't judge by appearance much.

  12. I have too many to list but here are some current ones:

    Konako (from Warau Kanoko-sama): Doesn't believe in purely good or bad people. She doesn't mind if you act like an immature brat, because everyone goes through that stage sometimes. Are you a delusional girl who believes you are special then everyone else? What's wrong with that if that gives you strength to do things that other people don't have courage to do? If you're jealous of someone you should just admit it and learn from your experience. She doesn't see herself as a good person or anything. She does whatever is interesting. She'll be the first to admit that she's lonely and is scared of people. She's grateful for her friends and would do anything for her best girl friend. I love this girl so much!

    Rai (Noblesse): Probably the most powerful being, ever. He's pretty much "the God that protected humanity so they can grow". He's the very definition of elegance. Girls (and guys, and probably animals too) blush at his godly presence. He doesn't need to fight much, all he needs to say is "kneel" and your body will follow his command. On the other hand he has no idea how to open an automatic door. He has a tendency to get lost and go the wrong way (elegantly of course). He totally sucks at video games and has a tendency to get murdered brutally in Counter Strike. He loves soggy ramen, and cookies. He doesn't like tea that's too bitter. He would probably like bananas, but then he doesn't know how to peel them and would carry them into the battlefield.

  13. I think they're okay. Great way for some girls to get into simple programing. I know a few very good ones with lovely design and interesting premise. I sometimes use it as a tool to teach kids FLASH. However 99% seem to be terrible. Also they get old in around 10 min.
