i find his lack of tricep disturbing

>>1619642
>muh anatomy

shut the fuck up

>>1619637
tricep tuck is indeed horrifically inaccurate

>>1619654
>>1619642

I'm guessing it's a undead thing, and it's limbs are supposed to appear twisted..

>>1619664
its not a twisted limb ignoranus. incorrect muscle insertion/improper delt overlap.

>>1619637

It's body is coming towards the viewer until you get to the butt... I see pectorals, clavicle, abdomen with front of ribs. Otherwise really cool lookin though.

>>1619652
the arm is badly drawn, deal w it.

>>1619682
Well, it's your word against mine until we hear the artist's explanation. I thought it reminded me of this, where the limbs are twisted.

>>1619704
>implying that picture isn't also anatomically shit

>>1619707
All I'm saying is that I'm sure you could get the human body to look like that if you twisted and bent enough.

>>1619730
>hes still not posting his shit on the study thread

why you haf to bi mad guys, its jus a draw

yes tricep is poop, feel free to red line anything

>>1619731
>study thread

The study thread is fucking redundant. This board doesn't have enough traffic to warrant a thread specifically for studies. 90% of this board is studies for fucks sake. Quit forcing yourself onto /ic/.

stop forcing it mate, hes free to post here

critique pls.

Nice gallery, r u profesh??

>>1619749
i work as a freelance artist for almost 10 years now and earn more than you will in a lifetime, so yes, you could call me profesh

Wow, so profesh

>>1619768
no
I went to google, I know your tricks.

had fun playing around with a brush i was editing

>>1619733
In all seriousness though, diggin your painting style, got a gallery?

OP, i think your style is pretty sweet man.
Got a silent hill nurse vibe

>>1619875
eye placement seems funky bro. Middle one is cross eyed- and the left one's eyes are off too.

The left one is a guy, right?

anyone wanna help with this?

Bored

>>1619917
Isnt it better to do lights to dark first? And background to foreground?

I did this painting of some food

Does it make you hungry?

Any feedback is appriciated.

>>1619933
I'm not sure if appetized or terrified. I'm stuck between perceiving it as strawberry sauce, or blood. Maybe use less brown and more light reds, to keep it from looking gory?

>>1619930
i'm honestly not sure..

>>1619944
Its just how i was taught. Im guessing you're on photoshop or something, buuutt i was taught on oils and acrylics and shit. And doing background and lighter colors first was how its done. Its easier to darken a color than it is to brighten it

>>1619947
well, i really haven't looked much up on how to do a background yet im just going to go all for it right now and see what happens

>>1619949
You never had a teacher huh

>>1619953
/ic/ will be my teacher.

>>1619956
Hell yeah fucking right. I think /ic/ will be more honest than an old lady in high school that forces you to do shitty crafts she found on Pinterest, babies you through the entire thing, and no matter how shitty your pile of shit smells, she will always call it "fabulous" or some other bull shit adjective

>>1619959
>no matter how shitty your pile of shit smells, she will always call it "fabulous" or some other bull shit adjective
you just described deviant 'art'

>>1619874
don't have one mate

crit my shitty vehicle that was designed without any specific purpose in mind.

also shame the ID thread didn't catch on as an /ic/ "thing". you guys are all obsessed with characters be it manga or realist.

Last illustration I'm doing this year, what do you guys think?

>>1620160
The ID thread?

Anyhow, if you really want to get gud a drawing vehicles in perspective you might wanna check out Scott Robertson's book if you have the cash.

>>1620181
>body of water is smooth
>if you try not to use one green over everything, even in sketch stage try to introduce color variety
>whats the purpose of the ducky? it'd fit there id it was a baby cthulhu, or clhuhul in the bath tub

>>1620183
did some more stuff, removed the fog in attempt to show water surface as a plane in which the monster is imbedded

>>1620160
in a vehicle design, readablity is very important, try not to make it look furry and fuzy and use soft grading with sharp defining lines.

its too early for textures

see you next year /ic/

>>1619637
>>1619733
inspiring stuff

>>1620192
Paintings that show the water surface usually have a horizon lower than the line where the water cuts across the camera, Try looking at scuba divers POVs, you'll see.

Right now it gives off a fish tank feel since we're so far away from the action

>>1620201

>dude designs vehicle with soft edges
>draw hard edges over it

w-why?

>>1620206
readability, its a design, not a "feels" illustration

>>1620213

make it read the way the anon wants it to read. soft edges. i agree about readability, sure, but don't change someones inherents design to make your argument easymode.

if you wanna help, do it right. make the soft edges read. the edges that the anon wanted the design to have.

i dont know if i'll ever finish this one. i haven't worked on it in a quite and i need to start drawing more in general. i think i'll might try to see how piracetam works on me and if it can give me encouragement and focus to continue drawing for extended periods of time. hopefully i'll be able to make improvements using nootropics.

>>1620215
>to make your argument easymode

And how did you help him? I offered him my point of view, he may take what I give him or ignore it completely.

>>1620216
shit i posted the wrong one.

>>1620216
>piracetam
you dont need drugs to help you draw, if you need though, drawing is not for you.

At one point I though i need adderal or ritalin to get better because couldn't focus. But I was just sleep deprived then and didn't eat healthy, fixed that and fixed my brain problems.

>>1620224
im not using it exclusively for drawing. i've drawn quite a bit in the past and i've never even have a nootropic before. i just want to experiment and see how it works on me. if i find that it helps improve my performance with things then there is no reason why i wouldn't use it.

>>1619733
Which brush you use in photoshop?

>>1620231
Psstt...looks like there's a person who's not in the secret brushes club among us. Lets laugh at this miserable faggot!

>>1620231
simple round brush, just turn off the flow in transfer settings

>>1620235
So funny. Why you don't quit art and become a professional comedian?

>>1620235

i think it's not serious enough. should be more serious so all the newbies fall for it.

>>1620235
Needs to be approved by Mark Crilley

>>1619827
This anon has a brilliant idea that I want to turn into reality. Problem is I can't find photos or self-potraits of Hampton and Bridgeman. Can anyone guide me to them?

Also, tried to make it movie-poster like.

>>1620278
no bullying pls

>>1620235
I sincerely doubt this picture is by you, I saw it on facebook the other day.

>>1619933
makes me want to have a period on some whipped cream

>>1620289
i'd eat that

>>1620181

yeah i'm definitely ordering that sometime next year. i also watched his dvd's, they are very technical (which i think is great) and this is kind of an attempt to apply what i learned from them.

>>1620201

thanks! but i kinda agree that i kinda wanted that curvy smooth apple-ish look. throwing in some highlights might help a lot thuogh.

>>1620282
>>1620282
Never claimed it was. Just another pasta image.

Hey /ic/

Was wondering if you can give this sketch of mine a critique. I was trying to go for a demon-like creature, but it came out too human.

Does it look too anime?
how do I better improve the nose and lips?
How should I start off shading (and shaping) the whole face?
should my outlines be more slimmer?
and last, what kind of brushes should I use?

>drawing
>2014

So I posted a warrior axe swinging guy some time ago, and an anon advised that I train moar and use hatching to get muh values. Just did this, first attempt, I know its shite, but am I generally thinking along the correct lines?

>>1620362
values aren't bad, but i think your problem is more about proportions and correct orientation. see the proko video on visual measuring.

>>1619928
That owl has eyes that make it reaction image material, make her more expressive and caption it "O'rly?", you'll be famous on Reddit.

>>1620364
Shit, to be honest, I can't even see where I've gone wrong with the proportions. I'm not even sure if I know what do you mean by orientation. Proko it is. I'm reading and practicing Fun With a Pencil as well, and I've torrented Villpu's lectures, shit's fun.

Btw, what would you say about this as 3 weeks progress from not drawing at all? Here's the axe negger. >>1617811

>>1620362
Comparing it to the size of the shadow cast by the wire, that drawing is very small. Its also because of this that your values look grainy.
Draw so that it takes up no less than 4/5 of an A4 page. Gestures are important and one way to have them flowing naturally is to use the whole length of the arm, which having a larger canvas would provide
This would also put your line stability to the test, it would allow for more detailed shadow shapes and less grainier values and in general, more control so you could fully develop your idea on the page.
There is nothing to lose (apart from paper) and it is good practice to work large.

>>1620382
It takes up almost half of an A3 page, mang. I think the grainy quality is caused by using a B3 pencil, and the paper coming from a pound shop. Not to mention me being a shitter.

That being said, from now on I will put the board vertically and try to take up the whole of it. I was kinda afraid of doing that, for whatever reason, but your argument makes sense.

trying to study, but the pose was a bit too hard.

>>1619917

>>1620407

It's the struggle of minorities in modern society

this is one of my best abstract paintings. pls rate

You're a bad troll, and you should feel bad.

>>1620407
>>1620408

just force it, take a first step, its not like someone is going to behead you if you do something wrong.

>>1620412
isn't that what /ic/ is for?

>>1620411
Why would you say that? I could start a painting on the 1st one easily, and its a good practice

>>1620398

>>1620434
could introduce some other colours, or just vary saturation

What do you think?

Whoop! Happy I was able to finish something right before the new year.

>>1620289
>>1619941

>2013
>not worshiping the blood

Guys, what's a good series of exercises to get used to digital painting? I just can't seem to even do a line with a tablet.

I've got a fair share of practice with pen and paper.

>>1620462
> I just can't seem to even do a line with a tablet
Well, for starters, you could try drawing a bunch of lines. That's a good warm-up for any medium of drawing anyways.

But I'm sure some other anon has some huge list or diagram of exercises coming up.

>>1620455
have a tumblr/da?
very nice colours FYI

>>1620368
>I can't even see where I've gone wrong with the proportions. I'm not even sure if I know what do you mean by orientation.

Well, the head on the girl his hueg. her feet and the axe guy's head are teensy. What I mean by orientation should probably have been angles. Like, I don't have the reference, but I seriously doubt her hips were at that extreme of an angle. Probably legs and arms are off too. take the photos, (or better yet, scan them) and put them into photoshop at 50% opacity over the ref image and you'll see where you went wrong.

For 3 weeks in, you look like you've done this some before, because you're not drawing the flat, contour-type drawings most newfags (incl me) started out with and you're trying to copy the areas of light and shadow. Work on your accuracy now . I actually subscribed to the proko figure drawing course. There's some premium content, like the latest video on the lay in that is really helpful, but the free videos cover most of it.

reached the point where I can't stand to look at it any more... will force myself to continue after a short break.

>>1620479
looking good so far anon, make sure to take a longer break, i know its tempting to jump right in, but longer break is always better if you get sick of the piece

Semi-related question, how do I take care of my wacom intuos pen so that the tip doesn't wear off to quickly?

>>1620471
How do you not feel it's finished?

Very quick Falkor design for my school thesis.
I'm having a bit of trouble trying to balance a lion head design and giving it that dragon aura at the same time.


C & C very much appreciated!

Could somebody post that /ic/ list of things to draw?

is this shit perspectively accurate???

i'm the dude that designed the shitty snowmobile thing

>>1620500

also how would one go about constructing the X-wings??

>>1620494
Also, Falkor from the Neverending story book. If anyone was unaware.

>>1620503
i was very unaware

>>1620500
i see you did perceptive, but didnt carry though to the bitter end.

>>1620483
don't press too hard. adjust the tablet sensitivity instead.

>>1620510

ofourse! the wings are really just inside a box ... god i'm stoopid. thanks anon!

still feels kinda wonky when i disable the perspective layer but that's probably an angle or fov issue more than a perspective issue...

My last drawing somehow got deleted, so I made a new one.

I tried to make the eyebrows thick like a demon, but couldn't figure out what to do on the left, and I'm not sure if the right is even good enough. How can I improve the nose, should I remove the outlines? And last, can someone shape the head for me? like what part of the face should be darker or lighter. I wanted the light to come from the top right, in front of the face.

>>1620537

reminded me of this, maybe it can help you somehow

>>1619614

It's my first dick/porn boobs, please be gentle..

>>1620629
but constructive criticism is very welcome!

>>1620629
I think /d/ would lust for you, drawing that sort of shit is dangerous Anon. Beware the /d/ick girl.

I need to go back in time, it's tutorial time /ic/

>>1620631
Ok, brb, posting in /d/

>>1620635
Hehe...hehehe.

Not finished yet, don't really know what to do with the legs, its supposed to be some sort of skirt type thing wrapping around, also unsure of what to be doing with the hand not on the spear

>>1620636
... /d/ has a funny way of expressing their love.. well, well, guess I'll just have to keep trying:) (Or maybe not..)

Not quite finished right now, probably have to look at clothing/lighting references.

>>1620640
Furries was too perverted for /d/...

>>1620646
Wow to be honest I was totally oblivious it was a furry it just didn't occur to me. Sorry

>>1620631
Haha, really nice anon.

>>1620648
No worries, I learnt something new:)

>>1620650
I didn't draw that, it was relevant to the discussion.

I repost it here because i did my own thread and didn't saw this one, and I thougt i would get more responses here..
Here's a basic summary:
This is my first attempt at digital painting, usually, I draw cartoons and comics and work hard to become an animator (good books about animation anyone ? (I know the animation section exists but I feel better here) but I wanted to get out of my comfort zone, challenge is fun!
This is my first attempt, not finished, i'm waiting for tips and objective critics

I forgot to upload the picture. hehe

>>1620365
Really? Huh come to think of it, it does. Heres my progress so far

>>1620689
Well, I was a bit cheeky with the Reddit bit, but yeah, the owl has potential, keep working on it and post the result pls. There can never be enough reaction images.

wip

>>1620714
The cheek's contour protrudes too much - looks unnatural. The cranium is also a bit on the small size compared to the size of the face.

>>1620712
1st try

>>1620715
Sorry I deleted it because I fucked.up the resolution and orientation, I will take into consideration your advice. Thanks

>>1620716
I think the problem with the cranium is that I've not defined the hair mass yet.

Kinda looks like a cross between Alanis Morissette and that girl from TGoT

>>1620735
Now you've gone and made it a man,

>>1620689
hey that's pretty good, think you can make a tutorial?

How's my composition

>>1620735
Btw, is this looking any better?

>>1620735
It isn't just the cranium, but that's all you can properly address at this stage given the medium used.

I didn't account for the perspective distortion from the camera, but I tried to adjust the proportion issues mostly by shifting the nose, resizing the mouth and jaw, and touching up the ear.

>>1620755
Thanks a lot!

The paper is rather rough and the eraser isn't half bad, so I will try to fix it.

sketching today

>>1620739
Tutorial? Like what?

>>1620767
>t-they didn't get my joke...

>>1620744
Back to the basics with you. Sorry bud, but I can't even tell what it is to be honest.You use a god awful amount of black and your blending is extremely muddy, it looks like you use the smudge tool for all your blending and it makes everything look terrible. Do some studies and come back to this.

>>1620770

Is that hard to read?

Last time I was told that I was using way too much white, so I tried to balance it out.

I haven't used any blending tool, I did use the eraser on the background to create the respective out of focus effect, that lower muddy part on the background is going to be a crowd.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback.

>>1620739
just draw the fucking owl

>>1620760
Love those sketches. Casual line quality is sexy as hell.

Is this even worth finishing? I'm pretty sure I fucked up on the anatomy but I'm not quite sure how to fix it.

I wish I could draw him better

>>1620845
not worth finishing

>>1620845

Yeah finish or you don't get better. Sorry if this doesn't help. I'm learning too. I just noticed your values are waaaaay off.

>>1620876
I think this clocks in as the worst redpaint of 2013

nice last minute strike, anon!

>>1620845
Thanks for pointing that out. I guess I'll do some value studies then come back to it.

>>1620888
what 3rd world country do you live in? we still got another 24 hours here

Something I finished a couple of weeks back.
Any crits?

>>1620892
Meant for
>>1620876

I started learning to draw via the sticky but I feel like my pencil control is too poor to jump into loomis and what not first - should I just practice drawing shapes and lines until I get comfortable? And is there anything about correct ways to hold the pencil, proper technique, etc? It seems like when I draw anything other then a horizontal line (pic related) my lines go straight to shit.

>>1620893
Let's see if anyone can top that shit for the next 24 hours then.

>>1620742
better or worse

Thoughts on the pose? Any other general feedback is also appreciated. Thanks.

>>1620760
Nice.

I'm trying Loomis and it's miles worse than when I don't use a system. please help ;_; I just don't get it.

>>1620934
I think you need just keep going, mayon. It's fine, 10000 heads and you're fine.

>>1620936
Okay ;_;

>>1620934
Keep trying, Anon we have all been there. The more you work with it the more you will understand and see a connection with Geometry. Consider reading the quote from the OP in this thread:

>>1619532

>>1620939
"and don't get discouraged, he is a tough bird". You'll be there someday, anon. Happy New Year

>>1620934
Loomis method is built upon learning and applying fundamentals, so if you grind it out and get gud, you'll be able to draw the head from any angle, rather than being able to draw five stock symbol faces

>>1620942
>>1620940
Thanks.
Slow and steady wins the race, they say.

>>1620898
What the fuck are you doing.
Just draw shit from life and learn to draw what you see before doing loomis. Who the fuck practices drawing shapes and lines.

d-does this work ?

>>1621069
no there isn't
and no it doesn't

>>1621027
this looks better than taht snow mobile, its good you put highlight on its hull to show the form, could do the same on other parts too, like wings, show their thichness

not sure what I'm gonna do with this one...perhaps a dude leaping off that peak to give a sense of scale.

Just really trying to get back into drawing for myself, really.

Aware of my lack of photoshop skills, I earnestly request guidance from the anon of /ic/

Hobby artist.
Just started doing digital art recently.
In fact this is my first digital artwork.
Still want to intensify shadows some more.
Stilll need to do eye reflections and other highlights.
Maybe redo hair paint and clean up those strands.

I would up the contrast. If you're standing right in front of the moon you'd think it would create a much darker silhouette.

>>1619614
WIP, i'm currently painting the shadows.
Current Work and light draft.

>>1621092
please contain yourself to one light source at your level

>>1621096
Nah, If this anon wants to take on a challenge, let him:)

I think this is a good time to drop this and move on. There are some mistakes but I didn't take any color from the ref so I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

>>1621100
Indeed, and this work is what i'll give for my Bitmap illustration exam. After that, i'll have to make a videogame charachter asset out of it.

And the backlight is a really simple light source, as it produes almost no diffuse and mostly specular. I need it to detail the hand.

>>1620477
not bad.
reminds me of the alien hominid

>>1620760
oh wow this is great.that's what i wanna be able to do

>>1620769

i got it anon i got it :)

>>1620760
you have your art up somewhere on the internet?

>>1620451
I wish I could into photo realism...

>>1620546
The face is really flat so it's hard to give the head a shape. Try protruding some of the characteristics. Also I would make his face angular and jagged, but that's just me.

>>1619637
just an idea...

>>1621062
Aye. That it is. Thanks.

trying new design tactic, constructing with calm values, opposed to my usual instant contrasting. This is much calmer way to work and ultimately better results to be achieved imo

>>1620219
- Good effort, obvious that time and thought was put into this
- Well done for not hiding hands
- Starting to consider values, although it's a bit timid
- Work on forms and the associated shading. The dress is flat as fuck. Even a brilliant white dress will have shade to it, and the way it interacts with the ground will define its shape. At the moment it's not even a cone, it's a paper cut-out of a dress.
- Don't worry about drawing every last flower, draw the ones in the foreground and abstract the further ones.
- Careful with that perspective, that road really bulges before disappearing behind the rock.

>>1621144
i presume there are 3 light sources, moon being dominant one, will also give cold light to the ares not illuminated by the other 2 sources

i would honestly encourage you to spend alot more time doing studies and less time creating. at the stage you are at anything you attempt will be turd polishing because there is no way you are going to create something other than a turd.

now i know tehmeh and his groupies would go "nonono you should ALWAYS be creative!" and i guess in a way they are right since it challenges your brain and gives you an idea of where you stand and where you are lacking, BUT if you care about fast progress, efficient learning and reaching a competitive level quickly i think you are wasting your time.

>>1621208
I wish I had time to do multiple studies a day, but I also need to learn 3D modeling, 3D sculpting, Assets creation pipelines, animation fundamentals, basically every fundamentals needed in videogames assets creation.
So yeah, i'm currently working on an illustration but I'm already late for all the rest.

My objective is to reach a correct level in drawing, getting something presentable and improve it when i've got time. (pic related, that was 2 months ago.)

>>1621228
that concludes it, game schools are cancer

>>1621228

damn... how are you supposed to get decent at anything if you need to "learn" everything? i don't envy you man. progress is there though, i hope you know what you are doing.

>>1621231
Well, if you want to become an illustrator, it is. But where I study, we only have 1 and a half year of school, which is not enought at all. Most of the things you'll learn are basics, and if you want to improve, you shall do it yourself.

Aside from that, don't forget that the videogame industry has very bad artists too, simply because a majority of players don't know anything about art fundamentals. (pic related, official art from a game that is making millions)

>>1621237
BUT LOOK AT THE COLORS< HOW VIBRANT THEY AR

happy new year guys

>>1621139
le so far

Wanted to try drawing pokemon fusions. Critique on design/anatomy is much appreciated.

>>1621207

can you maybe go abit into detail?

>>1621294
happy new year to you too and to every anon here.

>>1621313
>>1621294
<3 happy new years ano-no shut shut the fuck up and get back to your studies. i still have to wait 6hrs for 2014

>>1621304
As far as design goes, you didn't even follow the fusion design. The face is completely different and he has 3 horns instead of 1.

Can't comment on art. I dislike when people make major changes to anatomy/design/whatever to make it more "realistic", but that's just me.

>>1621304
you changed so much...

This is probably the first time I've drawn a subject in an environment?
So much is wrong with this, ugh

some figure from today

an old sketch i just started coloring in and drawing over

wip wop

>>1621316
design and art are not separate you slog.

>>1620911
The pose is too boring, it looks like she is all like "wat" at the moment, not enough power in it. Also i suggest fixing some of the composition. Also get your brushwork more consistent, and her face should be of lighter value so it pops out more, especially in that kind of lighting

>>1621572
Thank you.
Will get back to it and try your suggestions.
Can you elaborate more on the composition?

New year sketch

It's still 31 in my country, Faggot.
Till America isn't 1st. It doesn't count as New Year.
Fucking idiot.

Creature/character sketch

>>1621685
You do pretty quick sketches.

Stream them.

>>1621684
Sup Leroy

hey i've got a request (no preference of style, or technique, etc. quick sketches are fine). im looking for picture of "a Ghost-Knight", wearing full-armor maybe a weapon. he's a good-guy btw. extra things to include include: a small hand-crafted trinket, a girl he loves (in background), and a mountain village ablaze...

hmm,,, i have more info if you need for ref/inspiration

>>1621699
hi!!

>>1621707
it's frowned upon to post drawing requests here unless you're going to pay. someone might still pick up your request, but it's not very likely. you're better off asking a draw community more open/dedicated to doing requests.

>>1621715
thank you. can you suggest such a place? im looking for someone to do some quick character sketches for fun (or practice). i knew the odds were slim

>>1621693
I'm not they guy you're thinking of.

Just got inspired and tried doing something in the same vein myself.
This took about an hour and a half for reference.

>>1621707
>>1621721
Your request sounds like it would fit better in a /tg/ drawthread.

I'm not sure if /tg/ still has drawthreads though.

>>1621652
love this! happy new years!

Playing around. Don't know why it's shitty, especially the colors.

>>1621782
i like it. maybe add more contrast in the skin

and more definition

>>1621782
Use light pink or orange instead of yellow in the skin's highlights.

See if that makes a difference.

>>1621782

gorgeous expression, totally love this.

last drawing of 2013. need to improve in 2014!

>>1621804

testing for bump limit so i can make the first draw thread of 2014

BIATCHES

Last 2013 artwork... here's to the upcoming craziest life of my year... most likely. Fuuu--

was planning on it being a 15 minute speed drawing, but the gf came "distracted" me, and I haven't gotten back to it yet, it's been 2 days.
Still need to finish the outside obviously, all shadows and hues of gray, and think up some sort of background

>>1621782
The super long neck was bugging me, also I made the chin a bit softer.

>>1621822
You need to think the shape of her head and face over again, now it looks very flat. Also push up the color range some, those tasty blues in the background should reflect on her skin. Make the shadows less saturated to pus up the vibrance of the skin, or maybe the other way around. Hair needs more flow to it, it doesnt work like curtains do.

>LUPINEbrother has an xbone account
>dog boots
Nice shoes

Sketching yet another generic ass scifi girl. I need more variety to these.

>>1621843

>invent new designs

>>1621840
>Hair needs more flow to it, it doesnt work like curtains do
I'm not the artist, but some hair is that straight and flat. It is a curse.

Nice paintover, by the way. I like that you gave her blue eyes. Her shoulder looks a little bit bigger/odd in some way, but it looks more defined than it did before so eh.

a-am i jamie jones tier yet?

no? f-fuck...

>>1621840

not to be a contrarian hater faggot, i wish more people would have the confidence to do paintovers with feedback. but i feel like you changed the essence of the figure too much

>>1621849
>>1621843
wow, so many nice artists posting these days!

>>1621856
yeah youre right, I just kinda went with it.

>>1621849
got a gallery?

>>1621867
no, I'm super underground

>>1621868
You're not catbib?

>>1621869
no

I think you're that dude that always takes random requests from people as practice.

I'm leukemia.

>>1621856
You need to ground his brushes into a powder and inhale the powder

Just sharing stuff, inspired by bluefley. Pucking hands, tomorrow will be day of hands for me, no exceptions. Also, just noticed I made a bush in her armpit, oh well.

something older, would appreciate feedback, spent too much time on it

>>1621840

Do you have an art blog I could follow you by?

>>1621994
>>1621995
don't have anything

currently doing academy stuff, no time for da's and tumblrs

>>1622003
well feel free to join /ic/ chat in skype. Add me (Nomusss) i will add you to the group

>>1622003
How do you go on about your process when you start a sketch?

First time posting here. Hope you like

>>1622017
Abandoned this cause bought a nice pen

>>1622018
Still finishing this, gonna cover the hole page.

>>1622019
>>1622018
>>1622017

Nice linework and shit, but is there actually anything going on?

>>1622022
To add to this, I also find that when a drawing has negative spaces, it makes it much more appealing than just an overload of shapes and angles. So the second and last one I like better than the first one, though I still can't see wtf is going on there.

>>1622022
Nope, just doodling

>>1622037

omg i want to bury my face in those glutes

I'm trying to get started on drawing this. Yes, it's the final image of 'Fun with a Pencil' Loomis wants you to draw.

But I"m not sure how to get started on laying out the eye-line and the V.P.

A help would be appreciated. Thanks.

>>1622050
Here's the image.

I drew zimbabwe by that sculptor guy in the sticky

hit me hard
>tell me why this is bad

>>1622078
I think it looks ok until you start adding color. Neither color nor shading is particularly bad, but I believe it could get better. the color choice is a bit boring, I would try to find more harmonized shades, and maybe break off with some contrast, but then again it could be personal style. With the rendering it's looks ok, but the mayor problem is that the light doesn't seem to have defined light sources, you kinda just see splashes of yellow light all over..

I'm no pro at rendering or color myself, but those are just a few thing that stood out to me.

>>1621840
i really liked how you did this, so i did a study of it.

I have a really hard time working with values and color at the same time. Also do you use a soft brush ? i really like your style

thanks

>>1622078
>>1622099
kond of my own thoughts
better?

>>1622121
You shoud always ALWAYS aim to do stuff very rough.
Also make it dark and edgy.
It's the cool thing to do these days.

>>1622175
Even more edgy.

>>1622175
>>1622176
kek

>>1622175
i know he's sarcastic, but what is he aiming at?
>>1622121
is alright imo

>>1622102
Thanks! No, I rarely use a soft brush unless I want to do really small adjustments. As for color and blending, try to figure out the color palette in your mind and block in all the colors into the painting when you start. Then you can just pick the color straight from the canvas. My technique is about using only two tools, color picker and the brush. Just play around with the colors I guess, also studies and color theories can bring you a long way

>>1622238
Teach me how to be awesome like you.


pls respond...

pls..
