>>11354
So you'll do them?

>>11355
Of course.

>>11357
Thank you my dude

If he sees this, update us on how's it going. You're also doing the two I asked for right? Just clearing that up.

>>11417

You're acting really pushy m8. Bit disrespectful.

>>11418
Sorry, I try not to be. I was just really anxious and bored when I posted it. I'll let him take his time.

>>11418
I was just wondering how it was going so far. Not trying to be pushy.

Don't worry, nobody's being disrespectful. I'm just a slow ass is all, and well-deserving of a kick in the behind.
Plus I've been devoting most of my spare time to other things recently. But I'm going to put these requests on the top of my priority list starting now.

>>11421
If it's alright with you.

Coming up on a year since this thread was made. Damn, time flies.

>>11343
Hopefully this is seductive enough.

>>11115
And to you, EMT, I'm sorry. I kind of had something but I only began to notice the major issues partway through doing the lineart and by then I just couldn't bring myself to go back and fix everything. And that's part of the reason why I have this to say:

Lately I've felt like my art hasn't been improving at all, and I don't just mean in the past year but for a few years now. I've been meaning to clear my schedule and devote myself to improving but I either get distracted or end up procrastinating and pushing my study days into the next week.
That's why, after I finish whatever requests are left, I'm going to take a hiatus. I'll still be here on Helma and whatever witch threads that pop up on /a/ (especially when Brave Witches gets going) but unless someone else takes up the mantle of resident drawfag here (no application necessary! Please join!) there will probably be a lot less deliveries in the coming months (not that there was many to begin with).
Requests can still be made--I find drawing the witches as strangely cathartic so I doubt I'll be able to keep myself away from them for too long--but my hope is that the more I focus on improving the sooner I can return, and with hopefully better artwork.
So as gloomy as all that pseudo-professional bullshit sounds, I'll still be here, I'll still be drawing, I just want to get better is all.

And then maybe I'll be able to make that Keiko daki I've always wanted.

>>11476
Thank you my dude. I can't wait to see the other one where I ask her the question. Have any ideas or you're going to keep it a surprise?

>>11476
There's nothing wrong with your line art, it's great!

>>11477
>>11478
I'll keep it a surprise for the time being.
And it's not so much the line art that's the issue, it's the underlying sketch. A lot of mistakes that I make I don't notice until it's too late: screwed up proportions, misaligned eyes, poses in which spines bend in ways spines were not meant to bend, etc. Most of the time I catch these before publishing the work but it would be nice to never make those mistakes in the first place.
And really, it's just my art's general quality that I'm aiming to improve. I'm far from Humikane's or em's level, among many others.

>>11479
Ohhhh, I see what you mean.

>>11479
Can you atleast tell me if you think she'd do it though?

>>11479
Like, letting me tie her up if we were in a relationship, yknow, bedroom fun.

>>11480
>>11481
>>11482
All in due time.
And I don't mean to sound like an ass but there's no need for three posts when one will suffice. Take time to think about what you want to say before posting.
Considering how slow Helma is I only ever check for new posts every couple of hours anyways.

>>11476
Nice picture drawfriend!

And hey if you feel your art ain't up to snuff and you want to get better that's all fine and dandy man. I've loved every single one of the pics you've drawn so far but if you want to get on humi or em's level then by all means more power to you.

>>11483
It's cool, no offense taken. I wish you the best on your art.

>>11476
Lovely picture drawfriend.

Please, do whatever you feel is right for yourself. You owe us nothing.

I can kind of relate to your emotions, as I feel the same towards the model kits I build.

>>11476

Don't worry about my request, drawfriend, I was kind of just thinking out loud when I posted it anyways. I said I wouldn't ask for anything else this year, remember? I appreciate the effort though!

I wish you luck in your efforts, but I hope you'll still come around to discuss the witches fairly often. I think there are a few drawfriends that have seemingly stopped showing up and I can't help but feel like we kind of annoyed them too much, me included, and that makes me feel terrible. The last thing any of us want to see is Helma & Co. bleeding users.

We're all mighty appreciative of what you do, even if we can get too 'eager' sometimes.

>>11489
Absolutely!

I'm the Minnafag by the way, so if you haven't started the confession one yet, I wouldn't mind at all if you drop it completely.

>>11476
You are your own worst enemy as they say. No one but you are the one to feel your art needs improving when everyone is content enough with it.
It's pretty much autism what you're describing there and as someone with two devout artfags as friends and myself as a former one I can relate to you. But you do what you feel is best.
Saying about levels is a bit silly when you're to form your own style that will become your very own and something you feel content with. Em doesn't strike as someone who will change drastically his style at this point, is he at Fumi's level? No and yes, he has distinct style to his that is very nice and Fumi has unique to his that fits him the best. Both are great and different and will be. Yours is great.
That's just some of my thoughts.

>>11491
Exactly! Drawfriend has his own style as well, and I gotta say it's one of my favorites.

>>11168
>>11490
It's done.
Had fun in the stream today as well. Looking forward to the rest!

>>11557
Absolutely amazing, anon!

I love the different stages, the first one still is the best in my opinion.

Scandalous!

Great work drawfriend!

>>11557
Love it. Great work! Minna looks cute.

>>11557
That's veri naisu.

>>11345

And that's it. Starting now I'm going on hiatus to practice and get better.
Like I said, I'll still be here, and I'll still most likely be drawing witches every now and again, but starting now I'm going to try and place all my focus on improving. Hopefully at some point I'll find a good balance of studying and drawing weeb stuff.
Wish me luck, Helmanons.

>>11696
Goddamn drawfriend very nice.
My friend is going to be salty since he wanted heidi lewds but didnt want to be the first to request them

Enjoy your break! Come back soon!

>>11696
That's leeewd, but nice as always!
I'm going to be sad during your hiatus here. You're good already, but I guess the whole improving thing is knocking the back of your head. I really oughta pick up the pen again and learn to draw properly instead of painting but instead I started my Nihon studies week ago..
But yes, I'll wish the best of luck to you in your studies and improving.

>>11696
Love it. Great work! Good luck on your hiatus with practicing your art. I wish you the best of luck.

How to draw Eila.
Kinakomoti style.

Sometimes I wonder how our former resident drawfag does these days and where he might be, I really miss that feller a lot and his cute art.
Got this little Miyafuji drawn for my birthday today so I thought sharing it here.

>>14363
Happy belated birthday mate, that's a cute Yoshika.
I'm still here, not so much a drawfag recently but still very much a resident of little ol' Helma. Hard to believe it's been over two friggin' years since I last delivered in this thread.
Unfortunately I haven't drawn for a long while. Had life come up and bite me in the ass and I've been in a funk the past year. Slowly getting out of it though and I should be back soon once I get my shit together.
Can't say I made good on my promise to get better though, so don't expect much of an improvement.

>>14365
Thanks mang.
Am I glad to hear you're still around and kicking though even if not drawing, and yeah it's like couple of years have flown by despite still thinking it was like yesterday when you last posted.
As much I'm happy to hear someone's getting back on rails even if slowly, to me each good step feels like negated by a bigger one always lately.
Nah, like plenty of times said in the past your style was fine as it were even if you like to be self-critical about it which is fine for improving over time.
The only thing I'm expecting is a drawing of any kind from you at some point.

I'm going to keep any fanfare and pomp to a minimum. Bring me your requests, fellow Helmanons. I'm back.

>>14444
I would love to see Marian as a sexy cowgirl
Something like this

>>14444
Very cute Nipa! Welcome back.

>>14444
I would love to see Sadako in a lewd kunoichi outfit kind of like pic related.

>>14444
Okaerinasai senpai. And with a cute Nipa no less. Thank you for your continued efforts.
You're already bombarded, but that's for a good reason. I'll just ask seeing summer's coming and all something with Miyafuji in her frilly bikini look.
And for reference there was this fanart made by Couch eons ago >>11206 where Lynne got a leg cramp. I like the idea of somewhat dynamic compositions always so maybe Miyafuji trying to split a watermelon with blindfold or doing warm-up stretching.

>>14444
Welcome back. My birthday is coming up really soon, so I'd love to see Sanya wrapped up in ribbons. It's up to you if want to do clothed or clotheless, I'd like it either way.

So glad to have you back!
I'll try to hold back my requests for a while, I'm sure you must be very busy with what there is now.

>>14450
Here's a WIP to prove I'm still around. Hopefully I didn't miss your b-day by too much, I'll try and have it finished soon!
I'm going a little out of order on these requests, but I'll make sure to get them all delivered.

>>14459

I would love a Minna dressed in a baby doll, sitting on a simple bed, implying it belongs to an enlisted soldier.
She could be saying something along the lines of "I've been waiting~".

Also, if you find the time, why not make it a a two frame comic strip with both of them being in her office, the soldier as her scribe and Minna saying she'll go to bed, as he is still finishing work on some papers.

Please, take all the time you need for this! I appreciate how much effort and time you put in for us.
I would be super happy if you decided to draw my request and would understand if something prevents you from doing so.

>>14445
Here's another WIP. I feel like something's off with her face... maybe I'll figure it out tomorrow. If there's anything you want changed, let me know.

>>14461
Don't worry, nothing really prevents me from drawing, I'm just agonizingly slow.

>>14462
The current face simply lacks the oomph to look like Shirley's, is how I'd put it at least.
As in it seems a bit too generic, or something, still nothing too bad.

>>14462
The only thing I can think of with her face is that its a little too small compared to the rest of her, like how her hair seems to go too far off to the side, and it looks not tall enough to fit with her hair and body (like her cheek is really long and flat), but maybe that’s just me
Other than that, I love it, I dont think you need to change anything else
I’m really looking forward to it
