Managed to fix the problem with the white lines. |

I still don't understand the "No noses" thing. Seems like something that's more of an excuse not to figure out how to draw them than a "Style". Unlike Maishida whose lack of mouths could be remedied with a single black line given his style. :)
I guess if Siansaar and Maishida had a kid we'd be seeing a lot of MLP/Protoss crossovers. |

Reminds me of the Oblongs.
Also, I agree with Skipta that no noses = lazy. |

I gotchur nose >w> |
| Skipta #190191 1 year ago |
Not that I'm unsympathetic, of course. Noses are a real pain in the plot. They so easily end up freakish. :< |
| Nyerpy #190223 1 year ago |
I agree, Skipta.
I used to not draw noses, myself. Looking back at my old stuff - I'm glad I got past it. To each his own, though! |

my reasoning for not drawing noses is that i keep thinking of smily faces. they've got universal appeal through their simplicity. would a nose really improve them? similar with this.
you're welcome to try and add noses in a way that doesn't seem out of place though. |

Despite the lack of noses, I still find this style fairly cute. |

To use a pinup artist example, Arthur De Pins seems to manage just fine switching between lack of nose and use of nose on drawings that are similarly proportioned to each other, with the primary difference between the two being complexity of the drawing and shading. In is work, the figures (especially detail work like clothing and hair) with no noses are much more simplified than those with. So, if this were a much simpler drawing, I could understand the lack of nose, but considering the effort put into the hair and clothing, lack of nose makes the figures look even more unbalanced.
I hope that made as much sense as it did in my head. |

Well, it's all just opinion - I don't mean to challenge your choice. Also, not sure whether you were speaking to Skipta or I - but I'd feel weird drawing over somepony else's art and then posting it. Like I'd be trying to one-up them. |

Meh, dunno about the art style, but the scene itself is adorable. |

@anon215: i just totally facepalmed because i myself have been trying to recall what other style/artist this reminds me so strongly of. it's like "duhhhhhhhhh of course! arthur depins!"
but i cannot agree with you on complexity vs lack of nose. take f.ex. this one: http://www.arthurdepins.com/pict/maxsexy14.jpg i would say that's pretty detailed right there. maybe it's the proportions that make the difference. |

@133: You could be right about the proportions. I was mostly comparing the likes of, say, this:
http://www.arthurdepins.com/Clara2008.gif vs this: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_X3FmHvudm8w/SXfoTfpVVjI/AAAAAAAAAl4/VeEUYlnRb18/s400/pin-up_musardineprev.jpg Figure-wise, they're almost identical, but the second would look ridiculous without a nose. |
| Anonymous #193067 1 year ago |
mm, sure would. i'm trying to keep my figures more like the first example, pretty simple, but not too much. (would they be easy to re-draw if they were animated, f.ex.) it's a tough line to balance, i'll admit, but i want to keep them like this. |
| MyLittleJosieph #193077 1 year ago |
For me, the lack of a nose makes their faces look really flat. |
