/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Ayyy! You finished this! Nice job! The original photo is really nice and I'll probably do a study of it some time. You managed to make it more interesting than the original so it's definitely a huge success. I'm trying to find things to crit but the things you've changed seem like stylistic choices so GJ.

If you want some interesting traditional-looking brushes try some of Greg Rutkowski's. He has some free ones on his Gumroad and the other ones seem pretty cheap...

You're right on all points but I think it's kind of neat too. The perspective is definitely fucked.

- The castle is really fucked. If it's reaching the sky, those doors and stairs should be ~kilometers away. Actually, from this angle, you wouldn't even be able to see the top of the castle if it's reaching the sky. It would just go out of the image... You could move the castle 5km. further from us and then have it reach the sky but now it's just... Yeah.

- You shouldn't be able to see any individual blades of grass in the BG.

- Be more subtle on your atmospheric perspective so it gets bluer gradually as we go further. Now it's way too abrupt. All the rocks are just plain white and I have absolutely no idea how far away they are.

- Either change the color of the main character or the color of the sky. Having blue on blue doesn't really make any sense here.

Random bro-tip for your anatomy (before you've retained everything by studying):

I'm doing a muscular character sculpt right now and when I need some reference from weird angles and I can't find them in Google, I'll just look at some models that other people have done. You can spin them around and check all your shit from different angles.

For example, I found this one that's kinda-sorta similar to your guy... Anyways. Your guy has all kinds of problems. Extra muscles that don't exist among other issues. Use reference bro! Ain't nothing wrong with using reference. I'd love to be able to do everything from imagination but it's not like I'm going to accidentally stumble upon correct anatomy.

I didn't do the paintover. Might do one now though since you guys are this fucking autistic. I even said the overpainting was "pretty bad". I didn't do it. Are you fucking illiterate/retarded or what?

>>4288277

Kidding about what? What are you even talking about?

Hey, thanks a lot for taking the time to write such thorough advice. I need to dive deeper into this whole Graphicburger-site.

Also need to start paying closer attention to this stuff. I already utilize similar techniques for coloring grayscale images. Building up gradient maps, overlay, and color layers etc. Somehow I still tend to get lazy during the final steps and just blast way too many textures on my everything.

Tl;dr: Cheers. I'mma use this on my Shriek fan art thing that I'm doing...

I really wish I had some art friends but I don't. I have lots of friends but none of them really understand why I'm drawing orcs and superheroes in my underpants 24/7 instead of working in retail or some shit. My GF has been in the advertisement industry for 5 years and she "gets it" but I wish I had more friends who are more into the type of stuff I'm doing.

I really hate what this shit is doing to me. Oh, and I fucking hate Ben Shapiro. What a huge piece of shit, fake intellectual fuckboy...

Agreed. I'll admit that I'm also >>4021839 and my first painting from 2005 was done when I was 16 years old. I'll absolutely admit that I wouldn't have had the mental capacity or patience to study anything seriously back then. I couldn't even really take any critique for fuck's sake! In my defense, there wasn't much educational content floating around back then. YouTube wasn't even a thing. I'm so fucking old...

I've only been taking this shit semi-seriously for ~4 years now (also doing 3D and sculpting on the side and shitty jobs) and I feel like I'm just now starting to figure out how to study things efficiently.

I think that being "gifted" in art mostly means that you have the patience to sit down and do the work and also have the disposition to look at your work for what it is instead of what you want it to be. 2 years of focused work can be worth more than 7 years of doing the same shit and expecting different results.

I'm still fucking shit for how long I've been studying but at least I got some shitty freelance work to support my bald, graying, fat existence. Meh.

>>3941280

Yeah man, I'm sorry if I sound like an edgy teen (gonna be 30 this summer) you're probably right. I know it's fucking weak and lame. It just feels like I have this pressure to have my shit look like "professional concept art" or "professional mobile game bullshit" because that's the stuff that's been getting me jobs every now and then.

>>3827905

Proof of what? I don't even know what you're talking about. Those artists started at those ages and they "made it" by any definition of the phrase. What, you want me to ask them for birth certificates?

>>3827908
>After you're redpilled on the path.

I don't know what this means. Maybe I'm too old.

Dude, please just read the sticky. This is like me going to a math board and posting:

"Hey guys!

2+2=5

Any thoughts on my math skills? I made the calculation in my head and would love some feedback."

Then the people on the board say that my calculation is wrong and I should go read the sticky for basic math tips or post in the beginner thread.

I hope this helped...

Why do you think that girls are judging guys with different standards than you are? It's almost like you don't think of them as human beings. Is the only thing that makes people attractive to you their physical appearance?

Have any of you guys taking an art class in a non-art college? I’m doing the STEM meme but I signed up for a drawing class next semester because I figured it’d be fun. I just looked up the Professor though and her art is extremely shitty collages. Idk if she even knows how to draw. Her student reviews are also pretty shitty... You guys have any experienced with similar stuff? What do?

>>3675974

Thanks man! This shit is really interesting.

>>3664284 (OP)

What if my "vision of things" is some dude hanging in a bar talking to his friend and spilling his drink while he's laughing and I want to make a realistic illustration about this situation?

I'd have to know how to paint the room and everything in it in perspective, preferably from a good angle. I'd have to know how to paint a bunch of guys from that angle doing what they're doing in the clothes they're wearing and I'd have to know what people wear to an occasion in which they are. What if it's set in the 1800's? I'd have to figure out how the water from his glass deforms/refracts. How to paint anatomy and the reflections on the bar table etc...

I could go on for ever. This doesn't even have to do with the shit I'm doing but I still hope you're drunk or something because that's a stupid fucking question!

I like to do fantasy illustration shit and I can't do any of it properly without knowing a bunch about human/animal anatomy, fabric deformation, historical armor, perspective, color/value-bullshit, and on and on. I also like to do sci-fi stuff and I'll need to know a bunch about how manufactured parts fit in together and world building and shit. I also like to do traditional painting where I need to look at my subject and understand how the light is getting from the subject to my fucking eye and how I should illustrate it on my canvas so it can be as a e s t h e t i c as dik.

What can you do with your vision? You don't have any vision if you haven't studied anything. I know you're probably trolling but I'm drunk and tired so I just wanted to write something... Everybody likes talking.

>>3634538

Yes. Well spotted. I've been up for 24h. now.

>>3608639

Well argumented mate! Thanks for your input.

I'm not any of those guys you critted but boy oh boy... You don't seem to know anything about anything. We'll be waiting for you here when you turn 18...

After reading this thread...now I know why so many of you are eternally /beg/

Why do people waste their skills on degenerate trash like this?

I just wish I was a fucking neet who could draw all day or a student at one of those rigorous schools that make you draw for 12 hours a day. Maybe in another life.

>>3381983

Well I wish you good luck then. You're probably going to be working digitally if you're into character design stuff. I could point you to some tutorials if you have an idea of the type of stuff you'd like to be doing in the future.

>>3337462

WTF is this supposed to be? Looks like a Jazza trying to do a Sinix study...

>>3319883

I dunno. Why do you think he's not inclined? I think you're reading into it a little too much. I'm not disagreeing though but I don't think we can determine any of that by just watching these videos...

I can't decide if I'm jealous of kids like this or not. I was put into music school relatively young as well and people thought I was super talented and stuff but none of that was interesting to me. I sometimes regret it when I see all my friends from childhood playing in some of the most popular bands in my country and I'm just sitting here drawing orcs in my sweatpants at night and talking to people who draw Disney characters with penises.

That's not the kind of magic I was expecting
