Ryonea's Digital and Pencil Artworks
I've been considering to open my own creations thread since I joined here, but I worry it'll be neglected instead.
Thanks to a push from a friend over here, well... here's the thread. Just like the thread's name, my creations will revolve mostly around forum signatures and also drawings. Hopefully I can keep bringing updates. Anyway, here are the works I did: Spoiler for Signatures:
Spoiler for Drawings:
Most of my drawings can be found in my deviantArt account Opinions are welcome, and thanks for visiting!

Quite a few good stuff here. You are improving steadily with each drawing, and I'd imagine when the latest Love-Live drawing gets colored it'd look great. My favorite is probably the wallpaper of your original character. Very cute. Also that rabbit.
On your drawing in general; first of all, I'm envious of how nice those hands look. Its the right size and everything. There are no problems with your anatomy and clothing either. The next stage in my opinion would be to make your drawings less "stiff" looking and more flowy and natural. So keep drawing and look at more professional illustrations. You know how to pick your colors well. It's a bit similar to how I color in that you prefer them vibrant rather than muted. Now, shadows. In cloth fabrics, I think you could try to use more solid brushes and less soft brushes to give the clothing more definition. In the Party drawing, a bit more shadows, wrinkles and creases on clothing can help in defining the girl's backbone and bottom or the pecs on the guy. Soft brushes can be used to define depth where hard shadows can't, but they sometimes have the effect of making things look "cloudy", which I noticed in the hair coloring of your original character. But this gradient-ed style you have going on their clothing is quite nice as well. Reminds me of chocolate bars and sport cars. Overall, you're doing great. Keep it up! (Oh, if you still want me to color a drawing for you, post a lineart and I'll get to it.) (Also, to answer your question in my thread, I use a 4 by 6 inches Bamboo Pen & Touch)

I see... will try to alter my lines then is it the pencil drawings or the digital ones that you find rather stiff? or both? Quote:
And to be honest though, I don't know what I'm doing with the colors hence why they look so random. Coloring has always been difficult for me, not only I still don't get the sense, I lack the tool (and consequently, time) as well. I don't have a tablet and I always need to borrow my friend's. That's why how it's been around 3 years since the first time I tried digital coloring, but I only colored 4 drawings. So whenever I can borrow a tablet, I have to cram on it :eh: This is also part of a reason why I need someone else to do the colors. Quote:
Yeah, I'm considering whether I want you to color that Alisa fanart or should I create a new drawing instead. I'll notify you when I can finally decide. I see, Bamboo pen & touch. All of my friends are intuos4 (medium sized) users, they told me that it has better pressure control over Bamboo. But since I'm still a newbie in digital drawings and still can't get used to tablets (hence why I always draw on paper, scan, and trace on SAI) I'm wondering if Bamboo should be more than enough since it's far more affordable. Too bad there are no shops which could provide the tablets for testing. I want to compare the feel on Bamboo and Intuos, if there's only slight difference between them, then I'd go for Bamboo.

The Bamboo series in my opinion is more than good enough for anime-style drawings. It takes a few months to get used to, but after that one should start to feel the creative liberty in their pen.

As for bolder poses, honestly it's one of my weaknesses. Quote:
Very true, I always feel that tablet pen is too slippery since I'm used to draw with pencils and papers

I also can't wait to see your Ayase's drawing in color
And it's true that tablet pen can feel uncomfortable at first but it's amazing how you can get used to it in a short time. It took me only a week of playing around to be able to draw like on paper. I also share your point about reference and execution. The result always seem completely different from what I had in mind.

Really? that's very quick IMO. I've been using it for... maybe around 2 weeks (total time that I was lent) and still can't get the hang of it. Feels very slippery to me, but maybe that's quite connected with how I draw (I tend to press the pencil/pen to have more grip). Haha, yeah. We simply need more practice Thanks for dropping by, btw.

That came out very clean and nice. Very impressed with how thin and concise your lines are.
Once again, I like the color scheme used here. It's like a strawberry shortcake, and the way the hair is colored makes it look like gingerbread. I also thought the mp3 player and that hair accessory looked great. I think you're coming along nicely. By looking at more drawings you'll start to remember things like to make sure the waistband of the skirt should look like its under the hoodie. Just wondering, are there any particular illustrators or anime/manga character designs you consider inspirations for your drawing?

That's really nice job you did there!
I like your color choice, very soft and nice to the eyes. It looks like you are also progressing well with shading. I also agree that the mp3 player looks good, you managed to make it feel like it has weight. Not to mention the string's shadow on her clothes, nice attention to details there. I also like that soft pink under her lip, it strengthens her cuteness. Overall, great job and looking forward to more from you ^^

but yeah, since the last drawing (new year) I was experimenting by adding more shading types: dark gradient, light gradient, and highlights. I'm sticking with them for a while since I think they solved my "empty area" problem quite well (at least for me). They're also the reason why I'm able to put more feel of depth to the hairpin and iPod. As for the skirt, I intended the hoodie to be worn a bit leaning forward (that's why there's a tiny shadow on around the back area on her skirt) but I can see why it might not seem that way Hmm.. I do have many favorite illustrators and series but I don't use any of them as a role model for my drawings. Surely, though, there are some new elements and tid bits in everything I've seen that I incorporated to my drawings. There are people who told me that my drawings look a bit similar to certain series, but that's expected. But maybe there's one for coloring. I want my coloring to be able to at least look like Tsunako's (Choujigen Game Neptune, Date A Live, Fairy Fencer F) Spoiler for example:
^ Don't really know the name of that kind of coloring style. Thanks for the comment, btw. Quote:
as for the lip shade, that's how it is from the anime, I'm just imitating it Spoiler for reference:
-------------------------- This morning I did a quick drawing for my ID in deviantArt Spoiler for for the lolz:

Pretty good for a quick drawing. Seeing as it's anime, I hope that it'd look somewhat similar to the real person, though
Btw, what a coincidence that I also aim to draw like Tsunako. I've been using her arts as the source of motivation and reference

That's a good example, then I discovered her works from the 1st Neptune game. I'm not really interested with the game, only the artworks the best charm of her artworks are being simple yet wonderful IMO.

It seems Tsunako's been working on several projects before Neptune game, but I think the Neptune series is the start of her rising popularity now it's like she's the main artist for Compile Heart games. ---- I'm thinking to do another drawing (but don't expect it to be soon ), anyone can suggest me on the pose? please don't suggest the really difficult ones

Your stuff is absolutely stunning. I'm not a digi-artist so I can't critique it at all, but the lineart is amazing and so is the coloring. It all honestly looks beautiful to me, especially the latest colored one with the blue-white colored hair...GORGEOUS. <3 I want to learn to do digital painting. Oh no. A tablet. Yet another thing I want to spend my money on. NOOOO. *runs far away*
*recovers* sorry. Anyawy, keep up the great work. I would agree with Assort Dis on the half naked part...just woke up is nice too.

It'll be difficult but I think I could do it if I can find a good reference. Still haven't decided who the character will be, though. Quote:
I'm glad that you like my works, although I still have much to learn for sure. You can do digital drawings with only a mouse, just like my first 2 digital drawings (Mirai and Demon Girl), but it'll be very time and energy consuming IMO... so having a tablet would definitely be a great help. About the half-naked thingy... well, let's just see whether I can make it or not
