@LURKER00 it's cool that you're enthused about sharing your art but do you really have to make 7 posts in a row in the span of 2 hours?! Gives off some spammy vibes. Maybe wait and post all of them at once.
 
I just want there to be more KF emojis. I did the muttlove one a while back, right now I've got the optimistic rainbow on my mind. I made six variants.
Optimistic: When someone's being optimistic (full for shared optimism)
RainbowEmoji.pngRainbowEmoji2.png
Pessimistic: When someone's being needlessly pessimistic (full for shared doomer shit)
SadRainbowEmoji.pngSadRainbowEmoji2.png
Kiwi Pride: When someone's being proud of the Farms (full for shared pride)

What I do if there's no new posts is edit the prior one to include it. It's weird seeing a gradual slide out of people using the edit button honestly.

i love these
 
Meandering statement for anyone that actually was curious:
wasn't happy with how my stuff was turning out, I love users here but a big problem is people aren't super honest if your art is good or not, so I knuckled down by myself to try and actually make an effort in making a proper style+practice.

Most of my shit over the last 2 months is anatomy, I'll spoiler it but I mostly only included "barbie" bodies,
plus I have a bad habit of drawing super realistic dicks on stick figures because my brain is broken and I think it's funny

Some will just be texture examples as well, because one or 2 I'm super proud of.

Monsters
Face and body practice

This one is more texture practice, I was less worried about hands.
Leg.
Not sure if you are still interested in feedback...
I would be curious how you are trying to study. But I would recommend you to try and consider the form of what you are drawing and not just what you are drawing. I am not sure if you look at reference images when drawing, but I would highly recommend it.

For example in this piece:
critique1.png
The head is turned too far to the right and the neck is quite short. I tried to illustrate that by breaking down the body into similar forms, it might make it easier to conceptualize the pose.
I would also recommend trying to pose in the position that your character is in, how easy is it? Since for your drawing with how the back is turned it would imply the full body pose on the right. However that would be really difficult for the left arm to accomplish with how far it sticks out, this would then imply a pose more similar to the full body pose on the left. However it's much harder for the head to turn as far right as you want since the upper body is more turned away from the camera.
If you tried to pose like your character you would have a difficult time and it wouldn't be very comfortable.

In this piece the main critique I have is with the chest and the collar bones.
critique2.png
critique2.1.png
The collar bones dip down much too low in your drawing. The collar bones are actually quite flat, they really don't dip down that much relative to the tops of the shoulders. Additionally in your drawing the biceps were disproportionate to the shoulder caps. I would recommend making your shoulder caps bigger or making the biceps smaller. Since it would be difficult to have biceps that big while also having smaller shoulder caps. In my paint over I chose to make the biceps smaller.
Additionally the breasts are not shaped very naturally, which doesn't seem to be an intentional style choice. Neither does the clothing indicate breast support. Not that the character has to wear a bra, but the roundness looks unrealistic to me, which feels at odds with the face which is not very cartoon-y. Breasts are more tear dropped shaped. Then I also rendered the pecs quite defined as well since this character looks muscular to me. In general if a woman is not fat and also really muscular, the pecs actually change the shape of the breast quite a bit.
Also the intent of the clothing is not very clear. It had practically 0 form which then makes your character look quite a bit flatter. I tried to show that even with lines and no shading, you could indicate more form. Sorry this is a bit harder to explain.

Finally again I just highly emphasis looking at reference photos or art. Your anatomy doesn't have to be perfect for your art to look good or convincing. For example in this piece:
critique3.png
It's confusing what the characters are trying to do. I would assume the man is dipping the woman. However the pose doesn't look like a dip. I wasn't really able to find any poses where the man is putting his hand on the woman's neck. Additionally I couldn't find any poses where the dip was that upright. But maybe they weren't doing the dip. It's just not that clear to me. I tried to show with my drawing that you don't have to perfectly follow the pose you find and reference. It will just help make it more believable as well as help with trickier parts of a pose like hands(though I didn't bother rendering them here).

Additionally the woman's clothing is really weird to me. The section around the breasts imply something that is really tight and sinking into her breasts. However at the hips the clothing bunches which implies it's loose like a toga. Not that you can't have both be true, however it would be difficult to show that in a way which is believable.
Below your drawing I tried to indicate what the clothing could look like if it were more consistent. On the left you have if it were as loose as the hip portion would imply, it would be impossible for it to stick and compress the breasts. On the right I tried to show if it were tight enough for it to sink into the breasts and also provide support for cleavage to form. It would basically be a corset.
If you were just going for skin tight, I kinda tried to show that in the pose. Skin tight isn't really going to be tight enough to compress the breasts in the way your drawing does.
Frankly it feels weird to unnecessarily emphasis the softness of breasts when the intent of the art is not erotic in nature.


I would recommend a mix of art which breaks the body into simpler forms as well as continuing to study and reference real anatomy. Even if your intent is to draw less realistic, understanding form can help you render and sell believably. As well as understand other artists interpretation of reality and why they make choices that they do (which matters if you want to study an artist who you like, which I would also recommend).

Once again Since it's based on an unfinished drawing by @NaggotFigger some things may be off but I think i got the basic details right. Maybe the controller bits should have been bigger but it's FIIIIIINE. For now.

You know what's not fine?

Had to adjust/edit shit several times to get the orange to show up in the eyes. And even then the teeth kept defaulting to normal or weird nubby things.

The solution? BITE SOME FUCKING ROCKS TILL THEY GO GOOD AGAIN.

And by that I mean Go over the thing frame by frame and manually redraw the teeth for several hours.

It's smooth to the point you wouldn't even know at a glance they're drawn in frame by frame. I'm kinda impressed with my work here.
So yeah, vtuberitis has gone terminal. Horrible I know.
