      [Hentai] Attempt at GooGirl

      I was browsing some hentai the other day, and stumbled upon something called Goo Girls. While these.. things, are kinda weird, they are really beautyfull (and to quote Quagmire "I find that strangely arrousing").


      These drawings also seems, sadly, very rare, but I attempted to make one anyway, by tracing some normal hentai with new outlines, transparency, a lot of new part (because of transparency), a silly background and some giant hooters.

      Here's what I got out of it;

      What I would like now, is maybe some pointers and thoughts. I suppose maybe Slayer can aid me?

      I can't access the hentai.

      Possible to spoiler it here?

      I'd love to see it and i might be able to give some pointers

      Aye, don't use ImageShack, 'tis evil. When the very hosting site takes an age and a half to load, you know the hosting it provides isn't going to be very reliable.

      So bump this thread when you upload it somewhere it'll open.
      Like xs.to perhaps. It's what I use.

      Did you use the Smudge Tool on her by any chance?

      Ah, well, now that it's loading...I'll speak frankly, if you don't mind.

      I don't like it. It may just be me of course. I don't like anything that doesn't look perfect. Perfected creative writing with flowing speech and a wide vocabulary...perfected drawing with fitting colours, good shading, well-made sketches...and so on.

      That's probably why I don't draw myself even though I can...it takes ages. To create an anime drawing that looks like anime characters from cartoons and professional art takes a long time. Sketching takes quite a while, the colouring and shading is a whole process of its own...

      But in the end, is there really a point in drawing something that doesn't look good? That doesn't look great? After all, art is for the eyes to enjoy, is it not?

      Just thoughts out loud though. I doubt my criticism can be held too highly considering that I'm too lazy to draw myself.

      It's quite plain, but i think it's pretty good.

      Seeing as you're doing..urm..."googirls", i'm guessing you'd be going for a more cartoony kawaii look, rather than a more realistic look.

      For this picture, i'd suggest redoing the body and making the back less "wobbly".

      The face is good though ^^, innocent, anxious and kawaii.

      'Looking perfect' and 'enjoyable to look at' are two totally different things. Anime is drawn so that there is a minimum of personal creative expression from the artist. Anime artists are illustrators. There will be a room full of thirty dudes all drawing the exact same thing in the exact same style. They are purposefully trying to draw, ink, and color the exact same way so that no one can tell the difference when they smash all their plates together into a comic/ film.

      Thats one of the reasons that anime plates or disney cells will never be considered fine art. (Collectible and appreciable, hell yes. Badass looking, hell yes.)

      Maybe thats not what you're referring to, but comparing a piece of fan art to a professionally drawn piece of anime just doesn't fly. Thats like comparing Dega's sketches to his photographs.

      All I was saying is that I don't see a point in doing something unless you do it with great quality.
      Thus, sketchy, vague and not perfectly finished pieces aren't as pleasant to look at as fully perfected pieces of work.

      Yea, I used it to creat the gooie look and the droplets from her hair. It's not the right way to do it though.

      I certainly see your point. It's not funny to draw, when all your drawings end out stupid ugly. This one isn't too ugly, though it can certainly be better, with better lines, better 'transparency perspectives', and a better background.
      Your comment is not of much help to me though

      I can only agree with all this. I did the tracing pretty close-up, so it often turned out a bit wobbly

      Care to explain what exactly kawaii is?


      By the way, here's what a 'real' goo girl should look like. Without the human of course.

      Well, I can't be of much help unless I were to post an entire tutorial within my thread.
      There are plenty of sites around that teach how to draw anime.

      Like this one.

      So if you do agree that it's best to aim directly at the best possible result, then that's where to start, I imagine.

      I can't say I'm going for perfection, Merlock. Just relatively good drawing

      Hmmm isn't Hentai pretty much cartoon porn? I think it's a really fine line between "art" and porn, I can't say I particularly agree with linking to this sort of thing. I'll get back to you on that...
