Thread: I drew a cat...

You have no imagination. You will not be an artist until you get one.

I know its harsh, but its the truth and its too late to care about sugar coating.

I like it Slay.

I think his problem is that it seems to be just another regurgitated concept. No real originality, or inspiration, as a piece of art.

Basically the way its a complete copy of the thousands of other peoples drawings of catgirls or the like and with really no distinguishing features would suggest a lack of imagination.

However that said, if it was your intention just to draw a catgirl and not a piece of art, then you were successful.
Well done.

Dude, he's just starting to get a handle of the basics. You must first build the tools to build the masterpiece.

The only flaw I see is that this cutie isn't colored. And that the forward leg sort of bends funny.

i agree with every word of that.

I'm such a goddamn pimp.

I can't figure out her eyes. She looks flailing insane or blind like a bat.

Her eyes do seem weird...when I first drew them, they were alright, but coloring them was really awkward...

why don't you post a worthless drawing like this with the rest of you're worthless drawings on one thread instead of being a cock tease with this drawing with no merit that you wave in front of us like a little child?

Wow, was this really necessary?

DAMN IT! All these catgirls!










The picture's alright...

Explain the eyes to me, why is there a line coming out of them? Why are they the same colour as the rest of the eye? And you need to make the head/ears smaller.

By the way, stop making a thread for each picture you draw, just make a portfolio thread or something, and keep it all in there.

Thanks, and yeah, I'll try and come up with my own design of some sort...

Here's an updated picture:

What's wrong with her eyes?

I'm trying different tutorials to make the eyes...

I haven't found a good one yet

Depending on the type of eyes you're going for, there are several things you can do.

0: Pupil is the top half of a narrow oval, and the iris is the top half of a wider oval enclosing it.
1a: Pupil is an oval, iris is two marks to either side of it,. This won;t work with your drawing's eyes, not wide enough for the height.
1b: pupil is a circle, iris is like a C (serifed) with the bottom and sometimes the lower part of the side covered by the eyelid and socket.
2a: two circles. Iris is centered in the eye, pupil indicates direction character is looking.
2b: two circles. Pupil is in center of iris (smaller iris than 2a) and you just have to play around with the placement to see what looks right.
3: either 1b or 2b, sometimes 2a, but with a small shine on the upper right edge of the iris (viewer's right). shaped as though it's on the surface of a sphere.

And the right leg (character's, not viewer's perspective) doesn't look right, though it does seem proper for this drawing style, probably because the left leg is off. Not only does itr seem to be using weird perspective along with the ankle being cut in at the shoe, it looks like there's a knee in the middle of the shin. Maybe pull the angle of the shoe up, face it a bit more toward the viewer, and make the lower left (character) leg less bulgy.

I hope this is helpful. I would suggest a tutorial dsote for eyes, but I don;t actually recall where any are.

art too me isn't about rules though. In fact my favorite thing about art is the mistakes that you make, it adds much more than just a "human dimension to it".

You're ranting.

slayer: Dug this up out of my bookmarks. Hope it helps.

Hehe, Nice, slayer.

I think I did a really good job on the eyes. What do you guys think?



I also redid the hair and the legs.

Edit: Also added the right hand...it felt "gone"
