Posted December 16, 2016 I personally like images since I don't like clicking on things, but that's probably just my personal quirk. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 22, 2016 I can't seem to find out how you resize images in windows photo viewer and the scanner always scans my pics really big, so I guess I'll just keep linking them. I don't trust the online image resizers. D:< Anyways, I tried experimenting with different drawing techniques because I figured it was time I actually started drawing the "proper" way. Dunno if the difference is noticeable, but it was a lot easier to get the anatomy to look good when I used guidelines (admittedly inconsistent ones) instead of just eyeballing it like I usually do. yes I know the crown thing and the back leg are slightly off but I'm too lazy to fix it here is a similar person drawn without guidelines for comparison Now if only I could actually shade things and draw faces...

Posted December 22, 2016 You're using imgur, which has an automatic resizing function: add a lowercase L to the end of the image code (eg. xxxxxl.jpg) to get the "large thumbnail" version of the image, which fits neatly on most webpages and is still large enough to be legible.

Posted December 23, 2016 your art is so cute !! <33 definite improvement over time, keep drawing O: & as far as resizing goes, you also have the option of cropping the picture since there seems to be some white space around your art. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 28, 2016 IT'S TABLET TIME lol shading hahaha at least I tried Thank you for the tips! I definitely need to write myself a note about the imgur resizing, that could have saved me a lot of trouble if I had known about it earlier. In case anyone's wondering why I seem to be continuously drawing the same outfit, it's cause I'm trying to practice and I just so happened to be drawing that outfit at first. I figured I'd keep drawing the same-ish thing so I could see the effects of different techniques better. Once I figure something out, I'll go back to drawing random things and probably try to finish some of the suggestions in this thread. Share this post Link to post
Posted January 19, 2017 The results of my latest efforts: Bonus chibi: So many messy erased lines ;-; I feel like it's still an overall improvement though. Share this post Link to post
Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) (Semi) WIP colored chibi! Please tell me how I can improve my shading! Edit: I know the shoulders of the cape have weird shading in relation to her hair, but I haven't gotten around to fixing that yet.

Posted January 22, 2017 Ello amigo~ Mind if I request a fullbody sketch of my OC Oskar? Doesn't have to be anything special, but I can't draw fullbodies myself |D Share this post Link to post
Posted January 23, 2017 Sure, I can do that, especially since I'm still looking to practice humans. Do you have any other details on his appearance? Photo references with written descriptions usually work well, although I can still scrape together something from pure text descriptions. Pure text descriptions just tend to get a little hard to keep track of, so I may or may not accidentally miss some things if you go that way. Share this post Link to post
Posted January 25, 2017 Well, uh, he's maybe about 5'8", with broad shoulders and a toned body due to his career as a professional figure skater. If we're talking colors, he's blonde and fair-skinned, with blue eyes. He's lanky. He'd probably wear a hunter green zippered sweatshirt with a black T-Shirt underneath, and blue jeans with some sort of sneaker (maybe converses?) Share this post Link to post
Posted February 10, 2017 lazily drawn birds Those birds are so adorable omg ^o^ I love your style! Share this post Link to post

Posted February 13, 2017 Aww, Oskar looks so cute! And yes thank-you birbs Share this post Link to post
Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) Here's what I've been up to the past few days (imgur seems to have messed up the first one, which is supposed to be on a transparent background): Hopefully, I'll get a tablet that I can have access to all the time in March. I'll probably draw more pics like the above few then (shading practice here I come)! Edited February 20, 2017 by Silverphoenixx Share this post Link to post
Posted February 21, 2017 those thank you birds are the best Also the detailing on that jacket/coat is fantastic! I'd totally wear that. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 25, 2017 Thanks! I actually based that picture on the Summoner in Fire Emblem Heroes, but I'm glad you like it! Anyways, here's more art: haha I'm Fire Emblem trash Share this post Link to post
Posted March 3, 2017 I made a tumblr thing for better organization: https://spectrolithium.tumblr.com/ I'm not great at tumblr though, so I dunno what I'm really gonna do with it. I have two followers but they're both inappropriate accounts so I don't know how I should feel. Can you get rid of followers on tumblr? Also, I realize I haven't really done many of the suggestions in this thread, so I'll try to fix that Sometime™. I haven't drawn animals in a while though so I might be rusty. ;-; Share this post Link to post
Posted March 3, 2017 Huh, ok. I was wondering when I clicked through a new follower of my squid blog and saw your art. =P Yeah, NSFW spambots are everywhere lately. If you block them, it automatically makes them unfollow you. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 4, 2017 Okay, thanks for the tip. Now I feel obligated to put art here but I don't really know what to put because I don't have nice art lined up. Have some banners I made for an RP I guess? They're not really that exciting, but I guess I should put them here anyway. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 4, 2017 My rp people love them! they are up on the first page of the rp to be used (and credited to you of course!) Share this post Link to post
Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) That's good to hear! Thanks for crediting me~ I have more pixel stuff for this thread: It's in the critique thread as well, but putting it here for consistency. Edited March 5, 2017 by Silverphoenixx Share this post Link to post
Posted March 5, 2017 That's good to hear! Thanks for crediting me~ I have more pixel stuff for this thread: It's in the critique thread as well, but putting it here for consistency. That crown is beautiful <3 So blingy Your pixel work is awesome Share this post Link to post
Posted March 18, 2017 Thanks! I still haven't gotten around to fixing it (thanks, procrastination,) but I have some art for my RPs lined up. This is an unacceptably late update but I forgot to put it up earlier ;^; my tumblr is more updated eyes eyes wonk wonk Share this post Link to post
Posted March 19, 2017 Your art is so cute, I especially love your role-play stuff (always humbling to find another role-player who draws!). Keep up the amazing work <3 Share this post Link to post
Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) Thanks, but I don't want to overload you guys with RP art, so I've been somewhat limiting myself, but here's a silly gif in celebration of April Fools silliness. It was originally a video and I had to convert it to a gif, so some parts might be a little jerky. Edited April 4, 2017 by Silverphoenixx Share this post Link to post
