how do you get such clean lines?

Chupabara responds:

I sometimes use stabilized brushes. Also drawing the the lines faster and cleaning them up with eraser can help. Also just trial and error

[Self Portrait]

Cool.

This is really artistic, and looks really interesting. Really catches attention.

Captain responds:

thank you

[Zora link]

Roughly nice.

It's fairly pretty. The shading is well done, and she has a clean, good expression regardless of her strange position. But everything seems so...Sketchy. You could improve this image a whole lot. Add more detail, more complexity. Make her greaves look like the skin they are made of and all that.

[Bazaar]

I really like this drawing.

I love how well-detailed and seemingly realistic this is. The dark shades give it an idea that it's somewhere hidden, possibly illegal...Lol India. You overall captured the idea of Indian Merchants very well.

[Metal Killer]

Holy shit.

This is fucking awesome. Would have been better if he was jumping out of the water, the background is too strange; It would also make the effect you drew underneath him a lot more real.

[Cloud vs Sephiroth]

Quite pretty.

But, it's very hard to understand what's going on at first glance, and the background catches too much attention.

[Wolfwings Commission]

It doesn't look like an actual woman...

The girl has almost no recognizable female features. Her breasts, aside from being completely disproportionated, have absolutely no depth and those two lines to simulate stretching you made don't help, her face is distorted and looks like a male's, the lines you drew on her shirt are in places without any actual movement to wring them like that.

And use photoshop to make lighting for her hair and shading, goddamn.

[apple v2.0]

Not as good as v.01.

The first one had less defined lines and was much better filled. It emanated a warm, pretty feeling because of it's pallete of light colors and it's puffed lines.

This one lacks all of the above.

[Pronounced Dead]

As Bibbly said...

...There should be a gradient change of colorization to better imitate depth. Still very good though, but his facial bones are slightly disfigured and so are his knees.

[Popsicle Gal]

I loved it!

It's incredible how you manage to turn simple, sketchy bodily features so recognizable. Good jawb mang.

READ THE RESPONSE TO THE COMMENT BELOW DaMANGIE'S.

I try to work line over volume. That way their irrealistic bodies look more natural and the illustration can work.
Thanks a lot for commenting.
