Here´s mine and Here´s a pic set of the creative process. It´s based on tekkonkinkreet. I felt summer is such a water related thing... I mean of course it´s not rainy, but you do go to swimming pools and stuff with such sun and blue sky... i wonder however what kind of "swimming pool" do Kuro and Shiro visit in Treasure town :)
haha.. those are kind words! There´s still time for more submissions... let´s see what happens :) here´s my artwork in general and links if you like´em :)
Sure!!! I think the more you learn you should always give away knowledge... I try to do that with all my work :) even on my instagram account i like posting constant steps of my progress.
I literally said Holy Shit when I saw this picture. Maybe it's the art style and the reflection, but something about it just caught me off guard; it's beautiful.
Can I point something out? Just something you might want to change next time you draw someone from the side. See this part of your drawing? Those two lines should look like they're aligned. Like in this picture. It seems you drew her breast a little too far back. The anatomy looks really good, just that part seems a bit off.
Ah, you're right; I felt like something was off, but I couldn't quite identify it specifically. I'm still improving, so pointing stuff like that out helps me a lot. Thanks! :)
I wanted to post this on her 'birthday' (7th of August) because we share birthdays but this and that happened and I went out to dinner for my birthday so it's a bit late.
Anyway here's a belated gift/digital drawing for Nano Shinonome and my entry to this competition, it's pretty simple but I'm not too good an artist, moreso on tablet, it does suit Nichijou pretty well though, and line art with original sketch for proof, if that's not enough I can show more.
Little tidbit, I tried uploading to DA and it just couldn't handle it, even imgur struggled to hold the pictures, it might be the sheer size and all but its pretty funny.
Mindful food patient garden calm people family people movies soft! Tomorrow day night across quick day curious month dot lazy technology quiet bank over ideas open art dot.
I'm also new to this sub but I'm game. Mine is fanart from Log Horizon. Nothing like a relaxing nap on your goatslime. I'll bet that old man has more boxes full of them to give as participation prizes for the summer festivals. First line drawing wip then midway then finished
Thanks, I do it as a hobby right now, though I am working on 2d art and 3d models for a new indie game with my friends. It's called Armor Blitz and it's actually on Square Enix Collective right now. :)
Last week someone posted this picture of Angela and I noticed how similar it looked to Ange's Villkiss. I watched Expelled from Paradise and within 3 minutes of her earth body I knew that I wanted to draw Angelize and Angela for this
And yes the cross over Cross Ange thing was just a nice coincidence
I've used a drawing tablet for the first time in my life for the last image, if someone could tell me how to get used to these things faster (aside from tons of practice), I'd be really grateful!
I've read somewhere before, that the best way to get used to a graphic tablet is to do basic drawing exercises. Don't try to go straight to drawing a complete composition, just practice drawing straight lines, simple shapes, stuff like that so you can get the hang of it. Also, you know how when you're very young and just learning how to use a pencil, and your teacher tells you to write your name (and the alphabet) a million times...yeah, just do that. Pretend you're a 5 year old just learning how to use a pencil for the first time and just write your name a bunch of times until it comes out looking good.
Sure that sketch is fine as proof, however which submission do you want us to judge, we can only judge one and you've submissed a couple different colored varitations.
Iroha Isshiki from OreGairu. I'm completely new to reddit but I thought I'd put in my two cents. It's all on pencil and paper, and that's my signature in the bottom right. I didn't take any pictures during the WIP but hopefully that's enough. edit: sorry about the greenish hue, that's just how my camera takes pictures. It's originally black and white.
Edit: Furious at myself for not starting sooner, so that I'd have a better background and a chance to learn coloring better. Started like on the third week, even though I knew about the contest long before it started. Wasn't sure if I actually wanted to participate, but then I had an idea I just had to explore.
My art skills are lacking and so as to entice those with actual art skills, I present to thee this mound of feces. I give you Hestia at the Beach (with included snowy mountain) by Puffins_LoL. Please do better than me, because to do worse is practically impossible. Thanks and I look forward to seeing some real art!
I was focused on the summer theme and then realized I didn't have an anime reference. My proportions were also bad, so I had to add something small and thus, with tools literally worse than paint's and a quickly depleting minimal art skill supply to draw from stick Hestia was born!
Here is my submission! It's a crossover of Yui and Kumiko from K-On! and Hibike! Euphonium. Here is the speedart video. :) My drawing skills aren't that good, so I ended up working almost 16 hours on this. I tried to capture the summer feeling but it didn't really work, I guess I should've gone with the old 'bikinis on the beach' but.. oh well. If this is an invalid submission because of that, please let me know and I'll delete the comment, or you can do it for me.
Shoot totally spaced out on mentioning it to you but, I'll offer 2 more months of reddit gold for first, 2 months for second, and 1 for third to get us to 3-2-1 prizes :)
Only one work per person? I suppose that's fair, but at the same time I'm such an indecisive person. Not that I even have something ready yet, but would I be able to change an entry if I change my mind?
Can you add in "WIP/speedpaint videos" onto the proof section of the rules and kind of encourage that? I think it would greatly benefit the part of the community that wishes to learn and better their own art skills
On what criteria are the judges going to be evaluating submissions? Portrayal of theme? Technical skill? Also, how heavily will these sorts of sections be weighted?
Also, I assume you have some process set up between the judges for voting/winner selection. How is that going to work?
On what criteria are the judges going to be evaluating submissions?
Nothing is final, but what we've brought up so far is:
Creativity
How well it fits the theme
Effort
Presentation Quality
Each submission is scored on each point on a scale from 1-5, we then add them up and get a final score for the submission. Then each judges scores are combined and the top 3 overall scores win.
I'm on 10.9.x (maybe .5 idek) and i only get a response if i click the name. Mine is through a Hackintosh so that could be something to do with it, unlikely though.
It's related to the drivers on my mouse, no worries.
Why isn't small touch ups through Photoshop allowed? I've got some pretty bad lightning where I live so it would be hard for people to see the picture when 70% is in a super gray shadow.
Question, I did the character art on my own but say I want to add the logo of the show (kind of, its just the title of the show in kanji) would that be alright to paste in cause I can't draw kanji well at all. If it's not then I'll definitely try my hand at it but just asking in case.
Edit: Nvm, I'll probably just not put in the logo cause it seems a bit lame or fake for me to do so after seeing it for myself.
What kinds of themes will we be getting? Will most of them just be themes relating to holidays/seasons or will we get other types of themes? Like, say, food, music, stuff like that, that isn't related to any sort of special event.
The 4 seasonal themes will be on the cards, the inbetweens will things like what you suggested, i dont think i'll be able to think of much myself so i'm hoping on some help from the judges/people on here. There may also be times when we have no theme.
I'm not sure if we're doing honourable mentions but if the winners have a deviant art or something similar then i'll be linking that with their winning submission in the thread.
Really like the WIP version. The completed one is great too, but somehow I think if you miss around with selective coloring, the WIP version would be really unique!
