Description
Pose practice of Rikka Takanashi from Love, Chunibyou, and Other Delusions.I went a bit faster than usual, and the result is a bit messy, but I'm decently happy with how it turned out. The pose was tricky, the proportions are very stylized, but in the end result, it at least looks like the character.
I have a big folder full of characters that I want to draw, but I've been scared to attempt most of them. But I wanted to just try this one and get it out in the wild so I wouldn't have the threat of "What if it brings great dishonor to my family?" Sitting in the back of the head. It isn't perfect, it's probably not even good, but it's better than I could do a year ago and that's what counts.

i say this work had loads of hard work put in it and it took lots of time but ass seen from the stars I think that the vision is descent originality is your own but some look almost like yours. the technique was ok and not bad but could be improved (more detail in certain places and finally impact, in my point of view this sketch didn't give that POW or WOW to it, it just looks like any old sketch that any person could do so this piece of work could be slightly improved e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="

From my point of view the lineart looks great.In some places the lines are kinda messy however even for a sketch this was a hard work and from my point of view it looks great and amazing.I like the style and your creative idea.It don't seem traced,I see that you had study much anatomy before drawing it after the reference.I think you drawed it by simply looking at the pose and drawing almost exactly,is not a bad thing,I do that sometimes.What I can say next ? Umm... Keep it up e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="

I really like the details of the gun are and the overall body proportions are pretty good (OAO The girl is so carefree yet she looks like she's ready to shoot someone!):
Here is a list that you need to improve on:
- The hair doesn't look round enough since the lines are too straight. But I like how the hair is detailed.
- The part of the leg near the shoe is a bit too thin and the knee cap of the leg that is bending is a bit too flat.
- The shoulders look uneven. One side is round while the other side is sharper.
Hope this helps ya!

*Makes note to practice carefree firearms handling poses*
I definitely see where you are coming from with the straight lines in the hair.
Will keep working on the proportions of the legs. This style of anime has some very exaggerated tapering and sometimes I can go overboard.
The shoulders were tricky since the one was bent while the other was nott. Will try harder next time!
I hope you can continue watching me grow as an artist!

This is a great image. The idea is great and your thought behind this is well thought out. The design on the skirt is well thought and the execution of that thought was done quite well. The pistol is ok, yet the hand holding it is off proportion. the eye patch is a goo thought yet the execution was poor. it is not only a little off set but the string is being shown through the hair witch I think it is a little unsettling. same can be said for the eyebrow above the eyepatch. as I look at it more carefully, I see that there are some dark patches that don't look to be needed. overall the picture is great. Good luck in your art career. ^\/^

Hmmm. After an over view of the entire piece.I must say this is decent. Of coarse there is quite a few places where the lines are messy and overlap .And other places where the lines are faint and indefinite . I think when your outlining the drawing in ink,Try making sure they are dark and visible. Also , the hands and face don't seem to have the same detail put in to them as the hair and clothes.The wrist seem a little uneven and well... it throws me slight off.Please try to fix this for your next piece and i hope to see more of your work.

Thanks for checking it out and giving feedback. A lot of the feedback I'm getting on this post is making me want to try harder on my lining. Yeah, looking at that wrist now...it's definitely something I'd like to improve.

Even though, it is a Sketch, I can tell how hard working it is right at the start! First, even it is work on progress, it do fit the post on the reference picture. The Technique look great and simple, draw outline and paste it! It great in ether way. There some flaw however. Now, looking at it and the picture, doe fit, but it tiny bit off. Unless it you want to make it that, which it fine, but if you want to look that way, it bit off, but anyway, it look great and amazing. Yes, it is Sketch, but it look perfect as alway!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I think the wrist of her left arm and her left leg are pain points and I will work on them in the future. I hope you will continue to watch me improve!

Oh! Lovely line art! I like how you draw her using the study pose!

Thanks! It can be tricky since the proportions of the characters can be so different from life, but it definitely adds a lot of fun to the process!

I am commenting based on this appearing in projectcomment.deviantart.com
The Good:Β
The figure seems well proportioned (for anime proportions that is), and your lines are quite clean for the most part. The outfit seems pretty creative, from what I can tell from the line art. I like the attempted depth of the ruffles along the bottom of the skirt. The "broom-handle" Mauser seems spot on for detail and correctly proportioned to the figure.Β
Could Improve:
The image feels traced. Β Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that you traced it, it just seems like so much focus was placed on getting the lines in the perfect places that all consideration for line weight or energy was forgotten. I think some focus on varying your line weight would really help you on projects such as this one. I really think that a focus on energy would help you a lot also. Β For instance, look at your reference image: Look how extreme the pose is, compared to how you translated it. Your figure is quite a bit straighter and stiffer than the reference pose. This a tough thing to learn, but don't get discouraged. Couple other things to point out are, things like the hands feel like afterthoughts and the tie around her neck could be made more dimensional.Β
In Closing:
I definitely see more things that are working, than not working in your image. I think the piece shows a strong grasp of proportion (stylized of course.) I also see some advanced thinking about the form ie: the tights compressing her thighs slightly and the plaid pattern warping to the folds of the skirt. I think you are on the right track, and with some more practice could turn out some really amazing anime style stuff! Β
I hope that you found this feedback constructive and usable. Β Keep going!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to give very detailed feedback. The main takeaway I'm having from reading your critique is that I'm realizing I've got a bit of an issue with "tunnel-vision" in my art at the moment. I have been working hard on anatomy and gesture, but I've not done much any work as far as technique. The fact that you compliment my (stylized) anatomy multiple times makes me feel like I'm going in the right direction in that front at least.
Your tracing comment is very astute. It feels traced because it really is (at least the ink). I've been doing most of my drawing with pencil, but I'm super rough and sketchy, so I went over this one with pen, but because I gave no thought to line weight etc... it really does deaden the impact of the image.
I will definitely work on exaggerating the pose more. I should be pushing the boundaries, and yet in this, the torso bend isn't even as extreme as the photograph. I had multiple comments about the hands being afterthoughts, so I should probably focus on practicing those as well.
Again, thanks for a thoughtful, but cutting response. You've definitely given me some good praise while encouraging me to do better and giving me some ideas for exercises. I hope you can continue watching me grow as an artist!
