Oh snap, this surely is embarassing D: heheh.... disregard me. (back to anatomy lessons)

>>1811696
It surely is from a ref, but a lot of issues.

On a second look maybe I made her head a bit too big but whatever.

Its not like im an expert when it comes to female anatomy or anatomy in general, but your painting seems to be wrong on quite a few levels, especially when it comes to anatomy and perspective. There are some major proportionbal issues as well, take a look at my paintover, and see if you can get something out of it. I love her face though and the edgework looks brilliant, could use some color and value work too.

>>1810459
It is a valid opinion and you are right in your own way, but as an artist this is just something I had to do, otherwise I wont learn. Thank you.

Looking really nice, very well thought out colors and shapes, values could use more tweaking, maybe give the horizon some lighter gray areas to make the midground pop up?

>>1810152
Looking much better man, but like >>1810245 said, that orange color was very delicious, see if you can bring it back, good luck!

My progress so far, im quite happy with the colors, but edges and values need a lot more work. Also needs more details and render.

This one looks promising, I am liking the colors and values, but your composition, pose, anatomy and sense of action is lacking. Refer to my drawover.

I couldve done that and raped the adjustment sliders like to no end. Ive been down that road and its not fun. I rather do it right from start and not resort to any of that. This way ill learn better.

>>1808837
No im not, that is how my work flow goes, I block in the colors that i want to use and just pick them up from the image as i go, and when i need to adjust values i do so.

So here is where im at, the colors are pretty much there, still working on values. Taking a more relaxed grip on it instead of rushing things like i usually do.

This. Also this washup gives me the opportunity to have a fresh eye at shapes and values while im at it. The previous version was done in one day which is nothing at all.

>>1808709
youre disregarding the fact that this is a quick washup,took me like 5 minutes to do, colors and values are nowhere near what i have in mind. Take a look at most of my work and youll see what im talking about, the same muddy dark greenish color in every single one of them.

>>1808540
made me think a lot, and whoever you were, youre right. I made a quick washover with color, I want a completely different mood and setting to this piece. I have come to the realization that most of my works have the same fucking color scheme all over, and it has to change, thank you.

Values and colors are not something you should be focusing on right now, basic anatomy is more important, study that, not values. Going too far too fast is not going to help you, baby steps.

Thank you all for the replies, heres my progression so far, last one for tonight. The flag is still a work in progress, something bugs me with it but dont want to think about it right now.

>>1808114
thanks man, much appreciated, this started out as a nightly sketch so I really didnt think any storytelling elements, Ill look into the lighting tips!

>>1808110
well, most of my finished stuff are ages old, but i guess you can go check out my dA page, kjkallio.deviantart.com

>>1808105
no not yet, maybe ill make a tumblr page later

Im back. Wip.

Why not also make the big guy more bulkier and dynamic while you are at it, he also looks disproportionate. You could also add more flow to the general composition.

>>1613609
Love it so far, although the axe is forming a nasty tangent with the pillar, could use some fixing with the composition as >>1613612 suggested
