Idk if the driver part is true, though. I'm not going to read any Gaim supplementary material!

In my efforts to continue to draw, I have come upon a major conundrum. For most of these drawings, I've tried to be as well-proportioned as possible. I start with shapes, I make lines with my ruler, and I go over any obvious mistakes. But as you can see, I have a problem that I don't know how to crack. Symmetry. You can see it in different ways across my examples. The bird shape on Ankh has its right wing more extruded than the left; the mandible on the Jolly Roger has different spike shapes; the gill slits and fins aren't aligned and well-proportioned; one of my antelope's eyes is drooping slightly. The left pillar is thinner than the right.

So what can I do? Are there any exercises to practice my symmetry? Is it just one of those things that come from drawing a lot, and I'll eventually get to it?

I feel this is a major obstacle to my biggest goals on my journey. The ability to draw a subject 100 times in 100 different ways and still be consistent. If I can't get a front-facing stationary object to look even, what chance do I have of getting one in motion or in a complex pose?

I guess that at this state, rogue core doesn't have any hyperspecific achievements other than the ramrod one. The only other game I got full achievements in was South Scrimshaw, a visual novel with only two achievements.

Sorry for the weird inking. With the lack of corestones in rogue core, I decided to make a miniboss so they can have something to do. Executors appear at levels with the "Executor presence" Risk vector, which replaces the swarm. Swarms caused by exponite events or sentinels don't summon an executioner. The stone itself has three attacks. The first is where it spins its blades around itself and charges into dwarves, causing massive damage and ricocheting off cave walls. The second fires a shotgun-like blast of shrapnel towards the nearest dwarf. The last one is a ball-like projectile that, if it hits a dwarf, slows them down, and if it hits a wall, it makes a small rift where creepers spawn and join the fight. Upon defeat, the Executioner will explode, and Omega will congratulate you.

If you’re wondering about the shading. I accidentally did the age old blunder of using wet mediums on thin paper.

So if you’ve seen my previous posts on here, you’ve probably seen my attempts at using India ink. Normally I use it a way to fill in my drawings quickly and painlessly. But over the past few days, I decided to try using my ink to shade and create shapes. Now obviously this is a bit rough, especially in the first one, but I think I know what to work on.

Ps Mods, what’s the difference between “just sharing” and “no critique, just sharing”?

I checked the comments and said that this was concord level character design and that the devs dug too deep. I say “This is rogue core! Our ladies have beards lift weights, and shoot cosmic horrors in the face!”

For those who haven't seen a 2010 tokusatsu show that only aired in Japan, the Greeed are a group of evil homunculi (Artificial beings, not Drukhari scientists) who feed off of desire by creating monsters called yummies formed from human desire.

Being a kid's show, OOO probably didn't have the leeway to portray the sex, drugs, and rock and roll commonly associated with the prince of pleasure, but they did come up with more than enough obvious substitutes

In no particular order, the Greeed made yummies out of people's desire to

Become a world famous travel blogger

Beat the shit out of their ex-partner for turning them in

Pay back a family of one's former teacher

Heal their arm

Blow shit up

Become a hero

And many, many more.

So with that in mind, instead of limiting yourself by making Slaanesh the evil ass rape god, try making them a dealing devil who gifts people power to fuel a desire.

Slaanesh could gift a disgruntled factory worker fire powers to burn down his shitty job. Or a wannabe hero "strength" to quest and stuff. The sky's the limit!

So you guys gave me a lot of good advice for my honesty, terrible one piece drawing, so now I want to show all the pieces I have done so far to see if my art has any common threads that need addressing
If you are confused about what each piece is
Day 1: Autumn
Day 2: Truck
Day 3: Vampire Diaries ( I haven’t seen the show, so I improvised)
Day 4: Godzilla
Day 5: King Kong
Day 6: Winter snow
Day 7: Peace
Day 8 Luffy, Nami, and Zorro (Hopefully this won’t set off the repost rule)
Day 9: Nazca lines

I also want to tell you how my drawing process goes, first I pull up a reference image on my phone (for instance for the peace one I looked up an image of a dove with an olive branch) then I sketch out the shape to the best of my abilities, some better than others, once my pencil work is done, I first draw out the outline using a uniball pen, next I draw in the finer details with a variety of Micron pens, ranging from .20mm to .50mm. Then, for contrast, I use India ink, Uniball if I feel that’s better

I already got the main pieces of advice from last time (Start with shapes, then move to form, study anatomy, make my lines more confident, keep practicing), but if you notice any other bad habits from my drawings, point them out so I can fix them next time.

So for the longest time, I was never a good artist. I like drawing and art, but my skills never really progressed past kindergarten level. This summer, I want to improve my skills, at least to the level of your average Twitter artist. Preamble aside, this was a request from my sister to draw Luff, Nami, and Zorro from One Piece, and boy, did I not do them justice. The most standout critiques I can tell are that A. Their faces looked messed up (Luffy looks like a goblin, Zorro looks like Demoman, and Nami looks like she came straight out of an analog horror). I messed up on their limbs and hands (especially Zorro's shoulder), and I also messed up on the depth of everything. If there are any other things wrong with my image, like any subtle details I missed or anything, let me know

In one corner, we have Lucius the eternal! This vile space marine is in the service of the god of pleasure and is a master swordsman. If you were to somehow kill a spacemarine blessed by the powers of chaos, even having a shred of pride in such an accomplishment will turn you into him. Making him immortal. In the other, we have Kuroto Dan, AKA Kamen Rider Genm, CEO of gaming company Genm Corp. Kuroto is a guy with a superiority complex and so spiteful that he sent the equivalent of an anthrax letter to a kid just because the kid had a better game idea than he did. Somewhere along the line, he turned himself into a computer virus, which granted him immortality, and upon death, he'll emerge from a pipe as if nothing had happened. He can also turn into a Kamen Rider, so there's that.
