Description EDITDECISION I'm enjoying reading these funny comments XD;; I decided I can't draw nipples. It's too much pressure on me. I'm embarrass as hell! But I tallied the votes, and nipples does win...but its too much for me to handle for this piece. So maybe next time I'll do that for something else (like a BL pic or something). And why are people fav-ing this pic and even a print request? It's not even a complete artwork........XD

EDITAGAIN Okay I already made quite a few changes esp on A..which I'm not showing haha..
But thanks to everyone's critique!! It helped a lot. I'm still contemplating the nipple idea haha.

OLD Should I add nipple? I never really drew them...not even in my figure drawing classes. *so shy*

Oh man abs are hard.........no wonder i don't do it often T_T;; This summer I'm just going to practice drawing lots of nude haha.

Good job~! Buuuuut~, the only thing is, is it just me or is guy A's body a little thick? Like in the top left corner, it seems to go on endlessly...

I know, I could never draw the N. word, just hearing or saying that made me blush like crazy and sweat like hell, I don't draw them either, if someone even caught me drawing a guy w/out a shirt I'd die of embarresment, TT
*favs*
This'll help me draw a man's abs, I never drew them before or tried to!

.... chocolate sauce worthy.
I really like the way you shade in skin. I might go check if you have a skin tutorial.

DO I SEE A SORA CROWN!NECKLACE?

... Mmm. Abs.

I mean. lolwhut?

(Don't feel bad about the whole nipple thing. I get all flustered if I have to draw them, too. -cough-)

The lighting is awesome. If I could make a suggestion, though, why don't you play with some skin tones? It'd be nifty.

The anatomy is really good here. The shading on A is not as detailed as B or C, but you said you made changes to it (which you are not showing), so it's probably okay. Even without nipples, they don't look bad. But after some more practice, I bet you'll be able to do it with no problems.

I don't see anything wrong with them except the pointy shadow on the left for A. He might not be that muscular, but I think the pointy shadow makes it look more like he's malnourished Maybe curve the shadow a little?

I get utterly embarrassed trying to draw nipples as well xD And utterly embarrassed when I see them ////

Shintenzu [2007-05-19 21:31:20 +0000 UTC]

What you need to do is draw super insane CONAN pecs with the vein poppinn out and throbbing like hes having hemroids.

XD jus playin, your abs are fine for that theme. All of them in fact, but if I had to personally choose, I would say...... B cuz their ,ore defined and realistic

MayYeo [2007-05-18 23:51:23 +0000 UTC]

I dunno what's going on in here but if I were to choose I'd go for C. And maybe the chain shading on A
xD
And I understand you about nipples. They're nasty X_x

Why not draw one with nipples and the other without and post it here. Let all see and decide for you.

Btw, really nice abs you draw. I'm still practicing forever on them.

babygomamon [2007-05-17 23:07:23 +0000 UTC]

Also, I think you might be having a little trouble with abs because the torsos look a little long. I had that trouble with figure drawing where I drew really long torsos, but I know that's your style, but it might interfere with the construction of the ab...muscles...

gem2niki In reply to babygomamon [2007-05-18 01:10:21 +0000 UTC]

Well since this is art, and we are free to manipulate it in anyway as long as they wrap on the form nicely + human bodies are all different. ANd this is not realistic abs now is it ^^ So I don't think that's the issue here ;;

babygomamon [2007-05-17 23:05:39 +0000 UTC]

What's so bad about the nipple? If you don't draw them, then the character looks like a ken doll. > Also, in figure drawing, the nipples are also used in measuring the pectorals and the chest with the lower body (especially in women, from what I was told).

Plot-Theorist [2007-05-17 21:52:50 +0000 UTC]

I know the opinion of a newbie isn't generally taken seriously, but I think you should put nipples in. As for some responses about them being distracting-then why draw them on female characters?

Oh, by the way, love the anatomy.
