Drawn from imagination. Just having some fun.

Slowly but surely.

>>1666557
>>1666558
You remind me of Joel Jurion

>>1666529
It's fucking great

>>1666562
Thank you for introducing me to a new artist. I just Googled him. Never heard of him before.

I may post some studies momentarily, I'm alternating drawing and stoichiometry.

>>1666559
Do you work out the gestures from memory-imagination/reference or do you pose yourself?

>>1666562
wtf. Joel Jurion is a god amongst gods. This guy is fucking awful.

>>1666555
>>1666557
>>1666558
>>1666559


>smurf porn

fun fun .3.

>>1666569
I suppose memory/imagination would be the more accurate description of how I put down the gesture for imaginative drawings. But gesture is a crucial part of everything I do, from painting to still life with charcoal, so it's not some kind of inherent talent.

>>1666579
I was hanging out with my best friend, getting ready to watch Thor 2, but everyone's shitty little rugrats wanted to watch Smurfs 2 (We didn't know they were at the house until we got there, his son wanted to watch Thor 2). This started out as a way for us to entertain ourselves.

>>1666529
the lighting on the latisimus d. or whatever it's called on the white guy is too distracting. black guy could use some better foreshortening on his arms, collar bone area and head, if he's supposed to be leaning. if not it looks like he's missing a huge part of his trunk. don't crop at the knees. creates a nasty tangent.

a better sense of weight, power and movement is needed in this. the shorts look like pieces of cardboard and the facial expressions of the characters should better represent what a boxer is thinking.

comments please

>>1666585
The thumbnail looked like a dude with a helmet flipping somebody off

I don't know why

today photo study, 2 hrs

>>1666585
feels like gw2

>>1666585
Perspective on that boat is borked. It looks like I'm viewing it from multiple vantage points at the same time. It doesn't make sense as a whole, and I don't think that ambiguity is adding anything of value.

You also have some bad tangents and poor contrast with that rock (?) on the boat. I keep feeling it's supposed to belong to the giant.

>>1666365
>>1666366

yoooo
not sure where to go with this rn

>>1666585
>>1666590
it looked like a dinosaur to me, looking at the raven in proximity.

>>1666585

as a recently graduated value connoisseur, i can tell you that you are using too much darkest dark.

see pic related

you generally want sort of a bell curve, never a big spike in either extreme (ending of the levels-histogram)

the composition (dark as fuck ship aside) is beautiful and i'm almost tempted to steal the idea and do something with it because i find it really inspiring

>>1666512
master study

master study

About 2 hours in at the moment. I hope I'll make it look somewhat acceptable.

>>1666559

>>1666640

>>1666585
That's what it looks to me.

Joke aside, way too many tangents and while you have some descent value knowledge(not sure why you used blues in foreground) Ship is unrecognisable structure and it looks just like random shapes.I'd say just scrap the idea and go with mine.Im giving it for free.

>2014
>drawing hands

How I give this fantastic "desatured" effect to my pictures?

>>1666651

ctrl+U -50 saturation

>>1666651
you put a photoshop gradient on it
It's not perfect and I obviously didn't draw this

>>1666659
What colors in gradient? What layer effect? Multiply?

>>1666651
paint with low saturation in the first place.

>>1666589
worked on it a bit more, added legs, redid black guys torso, don't know a thing about lightning/painting so idk about that.

What im working on right now
Painfully boring pose but ehhh In the end it's all whatevs

>>1666697
Looks promising but it looks very muddy... Whatever, keep it up!

>>1666699

yea... there's alot of inconsistent values Im doing it more or less to push some design within design nonsense forcing simplicity out - which is stupid.

>>1666669
It depends on your image but this should get you the same effect

>>1666722
Oh and click that auto button when you use the black/white thing

>>1666697
Your style is similar to mine a little?
You keep it up.

Expression practice for fun.

shoutout to all my SamShodown niggas.

can kind of render shape but when something overlaps, like the arm over the torso I don't know wtf to do to make them both stick out.

and i can't paint fire for shit, let alone molten rocks

>>1666783
Your lighting is off

>>1666783
What a cute painting :)

wip, any suggestions before I move on?

>>1666820

>>1666642
Does no one like this?

>>1666767
A bit more of this.

>>1666823
ummm..

>>1666773
That expression, somehow off to me, the eye seems relaxed.

>>1666773
Did he just punch someone's head off?

>>1666823

It's smurfs having anal sex.

What do you think.

>>1666853
I thought it looked like mario getting fucked.

>>1666858

Cannot unsee

>>1666697
I would do more but I don't want to finish it for you.

>>1666853
>anal sex.
What?

>>1666866

looks pretty anal to me anyways

>>1666872
Have you never seen a clit before?

>>1666872
But that's her clit, isn't it?

>>1666872
looks like a clitoricus to me

>>1666879
>>1666881
>>1666882

Pretty big for a clit IMO. Also pretty far from the pubes.

Regardless, it's still fucking smurf porn.

>>1666884
clitz become inflammed and englarged during the sex act, daddio.

>>1666891

>>1666884
>Pretty big for a clit IMO
Clits come in different sizes friendo, and some chicks trim their pubic hair higher up than surrounding their clit and lips.

>>1666891
>>1666888

>implying I don't know this shit

Jesus christ I make one simple statement and everyone explodes.

>pic related

>>1666894
>implying I don't know this shit
Nigger, no one implied anything. You very explicitly demonstrated that you didn't.

>>1666899

>>1666512

>>1666901
that reminds me of Hokusai

>>1666903
>Hurr that thing is a vagina!
>Dude, that's a clitoris.
>It looks like a whole vagina though!
>Multiple anons demonstrate that it doesn't.
>Just kidding, I knew that!

>>1666905
so you mean it looks flat a pancake

>>1666907
flat like*

>IRC : Server :

>Channel: #/ic/

Why do we still advertise this? The channel isn't related to art help and the ops don't even browse 4chan anymore, let alone /ic/. It's misleading more than anything.

>>1666906

>that looks like a vagina
>No it's the clit
>no it's the clit
>Isn't it a clit
>ok, he probably drew it as a clit but it could still look like a vag

>LET'S TURN FUCKING EVERYTHING INTO AN ARGUMENT

Why do I even come to this board anymore, holy fuck.

>>1666910
what are you talking about? it's literally nothing but art talk there.

>>1666914
No one here is arguing except you.

>>1666916
lol u tk him 2da bar | ?

>>1666914
you really don't like gettin proved wrong, don't you? it sparks your inner autism.

>>1664798
>>1664803

finished ish. im done with it anyway i think. the cockpit will probably change as the blue color was a placeholder. i think ive learned what i can from this and will go on to the next.

>>1666901

>>1666924
Since everyone is busy arguing about clits, I can be useless and say,
this is just awesome.

>>1666902

>>1666954

does anyone know of a place with erasers that come to a pencil point?

also, Critique pls!!

Just finished the Villpu driving manual videos as well as the anatomy videos. Moving on to Hampton.
How often should they be revisited?

I think i'm startin to feel it, /ic/

>>1667001

please rip it to shreds, i want know everything wrong with it

sorry phone camera quality

Opinions?
It's gettin' there.

>>1667007

Close up

>>1667007
these kinds of work give me autism

but it looks nice

>>1667007
>>1667012
Your ink work is beautiful.

something im doodly oodly oodlin, having fun.

>>1667029
learn 2 draw

>>1667039

isn't that why we're all here anon?

post of the year award right there

did better than i thought i would.

>>1667039
Aw, I thought it was looking okay too.

>>1666975
the eyes need work. The most glaring problem. I think her right one is too big.

>>1666914
>Why do I even come to this board anymore, holy fuck.

same thought bro

>>1667050
are the fingers of ruse

>>1667005
From a composition stand point, To make the shrine/crystal stand out more, I think you should make the mountains further back and smaller so the top of the crystal is taller that the mountains. you might have to play around a bit with perspective. Move the people alittle up and right.

Oh and and some nice ass looking atmospheric perspective (is that the word? colors less saturated the farther it is)
Then again, it's paint so you can't really change it.

>>1667005
Up and left* >>1667065

>>1667062
what

>>1667070
* are the fingers bad on purpose?
other than that everything looks great.
Its just the fingers that look pants on head retarded

Pulled a sketch through, although it doesnt quite look like the original idea >>1666442
hihi :^)

>>1667088
Yeah, you kinda lost the original expression.
Still lookin' nice, though.

>>1667073
the fingers on both hands or just one?
Idk, I had trouble with the one doing the west side sign but I thought it looked okay, how can I fix them?

>>1667103
Obviously the hand the fingers are crossed, doesn't look right.

Art I made for a friend who just lost some relatives.

>>1667111
Excellent

>>1667111
My condolen- Oh wait anon, I really dont give a shit. Why didnt you just die with them?

>>1667122
You're a piece of shit..

>>1667122
Check your priviledge

Working on a composition similar to movie posters from the 60's and 70's.

Charcoal on watercolor paper. Critiques/comments welcome.

>>1667127

Detail.

>>1667128
>>1667111
S-sorry master, t-those trips look n-nice today...

>>1667048

>>1667124
>You're a piece of shit.
Welcome to humanity when social consequences are removed.

>>1667122

I don't give a shit either, I just made it to make him feel better. You'll have to try harder, newfriend.

Wipity wip

I'm slowly getting my edgework in order, still not looking forward to painting branches on the blue trees

>>1667127
>>1667132
Looks cool, do you have a small thumbnail for what you want it to look like when it's done? Would be easier to crit that then what you've got so far

>>1666697
You don't have to go pure black to show something is in shadow

>>1667142
Looking awesome ^^

>>1667142
Are you acidenema?
Looking great!

>>1667142
feels like a bad craig mullins knock off.

>>1667142
cute it really has a good feeling of place, especially in the foreground well...only in the foreground. the background looks a bit like a bad matte painting in a star trek episode or something.

i reallt like the anime type drawings but lots of peeps say my eyes are to big. but i rather like lage eyes. but lets here /ic/'s opion!

>>1667214
here we go

Added some textures and other stuff to my owl from the last thread

I need help, I'm a complete plebian and don't know where to ask.
This board is pretty slow and this thread looks like people are using it, I will post here even though my question is not really related.

How do I "draw" simple forms on a PC without them looking like total shit? I'm not trying to paint a portrait.
If I was to make something that sort of looked like the nike swoosh or the addiddas logo or any simple forms comparable to that, how would I go about it?

I downloaded gimp, but that only does straight lines, if I do anything rounded it looks all wiggely and shitty.
Also all the lines are very pixelated, is there any way to make them "smoother"?

please respond

Gif, does anyone have crits/tips? any anatomical errors?

>>1667276
I forgot to mention that I am able to draw by hand on paper, I'm not retarded. I never looked into drawing digitally though, I don't own a tablet.

>>1667277
2muchrice

>>1667290

>>1667108
oh, i see, i'll look at my hand and fix it later

>>1667276
paint tool sai?

>>1667297
the clouds look a bit weird.

>>1667214

>>1667214
How poor are you?
Don't draw on fucking lined paper.

>>1667306
thanks, very useful critique

>>1667304
I looked up tutorials for paint tool sai and the first thing I found was a painting of pewdiepi.
Did I get rused?

>>1667297
utter shit

>>1667277
are you that faggot that posts in every wallpaper thread with a gif?

Re-painted her head. During her absence, she also took a basic shooting class.

>>1667316
okay, they look lazily executed and just like squiggly lines and are not convincing as cloulds.

some character sketches for cghubs character design thing the theme was "prince of hell"

2 hours wip

I don't draw many portraits, so I'm not good at this stuff...I'm trying to recreate the color and light of the painting above with the sketch below.

Looks mushy and bland so far. My values suck ass.

Does anybody know how I could improove it?

>>1667226
I like it. Looks dynamic.

>>1667326
jeez that is so good
how long have you been studying art for?
also do you have a blog?

Drew some classmates during lecture

heres 2/2

>>1667336
>>1667338
>oh my gosh ! that creepy guy drew us again !
>creepy....
>I know !!!

>>1667330
thank you for elaborating

>>1667320
can you tell me why?

>>1667342
>Ew creep, could you please. like, just stop drawing me all the time.

>>1667343
you have snow in a scene that feels very warm and only in one spot. other than that it looks like some of those cheap prints with bible quotes on them that hang in my aunts restroom.

>>1667336
i wouldn't mind if someone drew me but if it was someone doing this hipster tier drawings of me i might.

I'm afraid to start drawing people from life, but i don't know how else to improve my portrait skills, i think do it from photos is too easy. pls any feedback would be appreciated.

>>1667349
btw I'm a girl ;)

>>1667266
Fixed the hair.

>>1667297

>>1667351
continua con i self portraits

>>1667351
>>1667361

Concordo. Prendi uno specchio e disegnati ogni giorno

>>1667351
Honestly at this level drawing from life and drawing from photos are both basically equally beneficial.

When your observational skills are better drawing from life will become pretty superior, as you'll be able to observe more subtle tones and better understand the subject as a 3D object.

>>1667122
cut myself on that edge

sunset, saw it irl, tried to capture

>>1667326
you need folds between her boobs; also, your folds are not very convincing /plain.

>>1667361
>>1667366
>>1667368

>quel momento in cui mi ricordo di non essere l'unico italiano su internet.

BTW thanks, that's what i thought too, also is a problem that i put 2+ hours in each one these.

>>1666629
Update, since no one commented.

>>1667122

hahahaha holy fuck you are 12

>>1667333
Update

>>1667326
I see you noticed my post in the other thread

>>1667336
>do you have a blog
Funny how things have changed around here ey h?

experimenting with colours, 1,5 hrs

>>1667408

is this a uni assingment or something? looks neato

I tried using come cooler colors for shading like the guy in the last thread suggested

I think it came out alright

>>1667469
>do you have a tumblr

fix'd that for ye

>>1667487
nice man great study, one thing i learned this year though is putting something on a solid white background is extremley harsh for the viewer and should be avoided. I have seen it work but it's something really hard to do.

Something more toward graphic design? Might finish this up just to push my comfort zones.

(or is chicks my comfort zone?)

>>1667143
>>1667154
Thank you, and yeah I am.

>>1667164
I don't know how to react to this. 6 months ago people compared me a lot to jaime jones, now people compare me to Mullins. Step up? A bad thing? I'll just keep making pictures I want to see, I guess.

Next up I'll be called a min yum knock off and then I'll come full circle through all my digital art heroes from when I started out

>>1667209
The foreground is almost done so I'm glad you say it like that. Do you mean the last part of the background where I experimented with purples?

I can't really find bad star trek matte paintings on google so I can't confirm what you mean (please elaborate). I'll post the finished result sometime this week. But I always really appreciate candid feedback

>>1667500
That depends though. If the subject itself is low key (ie dark - to midtone) it can actually really accentuate silhouette.

If you're working digital there's no reason to try and slide the background to different values and see how it affects the overall image

>>1667526
that just means your main problem is you are too concerned with copying or mimicking artist work instead of making a good image and doing what it takes to do that. You are the guy who did the drawings inspired by catbib as well aren't you? seems like a tend you continue to do over and over.

>>1667530
*trend

Done!

Would have finished it earlier but I have an awkward semi-retarded work flow.

>>1667326
should've twisted the head more to the veiwer

>>1667142
The background looks fine, I like it.

>>16675432

This looks really cool man mind doing a close up on some of the detial?

>>1667480
It is indeed!
Thanks, I hope the teachers will like it too.

>>1667547
was asking this guy >>1667543

>>1667276
You downloaded gimp? What kind of tablet do you have if you have one?
Draw from life, you don't learn to draw by free handing from your imagination, there is no other way. Your french curves will come to you with practice my young padawan.

>>1667554

There's a close up of the bell further up in the thread, here's the hex and tail(?)

>>1667561
wholly shit anon did you really hatch all those marks? damn son...

>>1667276
Oh you don't own a tablet, I didn't see that.
That will explain your choppy lines, buy a tablet for 100 bucks on ebay or amazon and just doodle get the feel for it, there is a learning curve one thing you'll notice right away is that you don't slide the cursor it will jump to where your pen tip touches the tablet.

>>1667563

Yeah, my hand is sore as hell, that's why it took so long. I'd put in value some other way but I just fucking love the way it looks.

>>1667543
No its not lol. Needs color, needs gloss, needs enamel, not even finished.

man if i were going to have that for a client he'd be pissed

...

>>1667595

>implying every design needs color

I wanted to keep it black ink on wood.

Had I been commissioned, I would have talked to a client and colored it if they wanted it that way. Also, I was referring to the ink design being completed, I have yet to enamel it because I live in MI and it's fucking 10 degrees outside.

>>1667530
>>1667531

Haha, yeah you're right

I hope to hatch into my own direction soon, so I can really start maturing as an artist.

The keyword the anon gave was 'feels like' that can mean a lot of things. Most of them positive, given where I am in my development

Of course you could say that I'm finding excuses and you'd be right.

Also here's a feely feel sketch

woob woob

>>1667600
needs colour.

looks boring.

>>1667608

If I decide to add color to it before I seal it, you'll be the first to know, Anon.

>>1667608

Just curious, how would you color it? Color scheme, location, etc.

I was considering doing some work with Prismacolors on it but I didn't get any feedback in the last thread, and now I like just the ink so damn much.

i really can't decide if i would be able to survive in the art world,

>>1667351
me again, I think that's not bad being my first attempt to add values.

>>1667671
You think wrong.

>>1667671

Not bad, but not good either.

Keep the location of your light source in mind, There are lots of inconsistencies with your values.

>>1667671
What books are you studying?

>>1667674
mh yeah i realize i fucked it up badly.
But i like how the shading tries covers the really bad proportions.

>>1667677
I used for a while Keys to Drawing until i reached the shading chapter, then i got bored and passed at figure drawing with Vilppu, then i realized i only can only draw some porn girl with alien faces.

>>1667684
I am you, I'm still trying to understand form, I'm practicing a lot but I don't know, i think this is a thing that will pop up to my mind with time... Or not, but I will keep trying

Ray Stevenson.
Did I get him? Ref not to hand

>>1667686
Glad to know i'm not alone

>>1667690
Me again
What can I say, the man is friggin awesome. Especially in Dexter.
Plz rate

>>1667684
maybe you should try harder. do things you're uncomfortable with until you git gud.

>>1667696
>do things you're uncomfortable with until you git gud

What if everything you do is uncomfortable to do?

>>1667701
if you did that i think you are just foolng us

>>1667701
kill yourself or live with the fact that everyone has that feeling either at one point of perpetually. then get back to drawing.

>>1667701
then keep doinng it

im making this thing, it's supposed to be a man turning into some crow thing, dunno.
I realized i was doing it greyscale too late so now im gonna keep painting it roughly in greyscale and then over with colours i guess ?

Do you think i should make him wear plate or naked with feathers over some parts? I like the idea of him being some crow knight ,maybe with feathers popping out of the openings inbetween its armour etc

>>1667671
ma sei di milano? hai una faccia già vista boh

my portraits kind of all look the same and look pretty bland and boring. I think it has something to do with my choice of colors but i am not sure.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks !

revamped it.

Not sure where it's going anymore, but I like it more than before, other than the shadows look too dramatic in thumbnail view.

>>1667788

do you do anything other than portraits? make the leap into landscapes and enrionments, it will teach you SO much about everything that makes a good image.

>>1667807
well i started making still lives today. im planning to make a lot more of those. I am hoping they might help !

>>1667810

yeah they sure as fuck will! good for you.

>>1666512
Please rate, it's watercolor.

Here be a quick spitpaint..

>>1667796
Far too many hard lines, try blending it a bit!

>>1667810
This is pretty cool. Try adding a bit of shine/texture to the objects!

>>1667893
This is fucking cool. I say keep working on it.

>>1667737
Feathers. That expression is great, hope to see more.

>>1667605
I really love the brushes you use here. Wish i could get this natural feel in my paintings. But i won't budge from SAI

>>1667543
I suggest pink or blue. Really fucking cool, thought about doing this with my skateboard.

>>1667487
I fucking love you. People who draw tanks are A+ in my books

Got a deviantart??

>>1667351
Draw people on the bus! Take a little sketchbook with you. It helps immensely, i promise!

>>1667336
I like that you do these without shading. When i try to do this, i chickenscratch. Really interesting.

>>1667227
Very nice! It's a little boring though :(
Why not a lighter color background or some contrast from the yellows/reds/browns??

>>1667005
Theres no focus, its a really bad composition.
What the fuck is going on with dem mountains anon?

>>1666924
VERY nice blending, however- i think this might've been better on a white background so it could stand out more. How about more details? Make the character for interesting. He looks like a mcdonalds toy from the 80's.

>>1666820
I see where you're going with this and i like it. The only thing i can suggest is move the scene a little more left to the center. Try to have creative flow and not paint a generic sci-fi bullshit bike.

>>1666642
wtf

>>1666619
KEEP GOING!!

>>1667939

seeing people comment on many people makes me happy :) i'm not one of the commented on but still, i wish this kind of post was more common.

The guy is falling backwards. He should have a rock to lean on or a better posture.
And a horizon line would probably add some depth to your painting.

>>1667737
Ahah no, e a dir la verità lì non mi assomiglio molto

These eyes are out look off to me.
But I don't know what it is

>>1667122
When he was typing this I bet he was thinking "oh boy I got him good, am I right guys?!!?!1!1"

>>1667127
Asian Countries still make movie posters like this.
Google some, they're pretty neat

Back to fundamentals

>>1668075
I am learning the fundamentals.
That's not helpful

>>1668079
Sorry.
I don't know if this gonna help you, but learn perspective.
Marshall told in his videos that everything is perspective, if you dominate perspective it will become easier to do construction and whatever you want to create.
One fundamental leads you to another one, it's just like an puzzle.

>>1668084
Are you saying my background is what's messing everything up?
I made it up real quick so I could figure out the lighting. If that's all it is, that's great. If its much more than that, then i need you to explain it to me please. Like should I just toss this and go back mind my studies?

any feedback would be appreciated

>>1668145
oh i remember doing that tutorial, use the technique he uses with eraser and brush, youll get proper hard tight edges. If not eraser just work with soft and hard brushes cutting at eachother if it makes sense

I'm kinda thinking about making it influenced by RTS or third person shooter games by adding some UI after this, since I'm not sure what I could add on to a plain character painting.

>>1667335
Thank you.
I've been drawing as long as I can remember, but I started studying a bit seriously around 2011, I think. There's a lot of guys here that improves faster though.

I sometimes post in the dA group in the OP, so keep a look out.

>>1667378
I'm okay with the boobs, but I can see that the folds on the pants is not convincing enough. I tried looking at some reference, but it ends up looking less ...'fun', for a lack of a better word.

>>1667469
>changed
?
Eh, other than more discussions and dumps, it's pretty much the same /ic/.

>>1667544
Thank you for the suggestion, but I'm happy enough with the current head.

>>1668145
Hey Hbz!

>>1668176
>>1668145
Never mind, someone I know just did the same tutorial

Am I Rilying this right ? It seems like Im fucking something up but I can't tell what it is...

>>1668219
Your construction is off. the angles of her face, features tangent one another and are making her face appear flat.

Take another look, try to think more geometrically.

>>1668220

tangent as in how? Like, mouth connects with face cheek line ?

>>1668219
You made eyes and mouth as if they were looking up while her head is tilted down, so that's why it's fucked. This should fix it.

>>1668222

Not him but the line around her mouth on the left side should be more centered, closer to her left nostril. The way it currently is, it's almost tangential to the nose and it also goes straight down to her cheek.

>>1668226
Cheers!
>>1668227
thanks, I'll get on fixing it.

Tried drawing on top of line art, something I never do to this level. Might push it a bit further.


>>1668169
Maybe crop her at the torso and put her into a portrait for a combat unit? Could be cool

Also start posting in the post wops group again please, I'm the only one keeping it going

>>1667939
I paint very opaquely, I'm sure you could do something similar to me in sai using the water tools, isn't there this guy who only paints in sai doing some pretty cool stuff (forgot his name)

He has a brush pack I never tried because you have to pay

>>1668230
My advice is: the colours are not interesting. The head has the same colours of the torso. In the thumbnail it looked like a pair of boobs attached to something like a wooden stick.

...

>>1668232
Cool, thanks

I was more worried about form but I see what you mean

>>1668234
You're improving dude. Have you done any matte things since last time?

>>1668219
Look your model closer. You're drawing a face, not her face!

>>1667380

>tfw italians memes suck balls

Time is pointless, doesn't matter if you made it in 3 hours or 5 min. As long as you're learning something, you gotta keep doing it

>>1668246
Quanti anni avete, am/ic/i italiani?

>>1668243
please stop right here.You're telling him super vague shit that's even higher ambiguity than Vilppu's "Feel the pull". Anons already pointed him in the right direction ,and now you'll throw him off with your bullshit.

>>1668251
There should be in the sticky somewhere that you should take critique with a grain of salt.

Newcomers can be very easily misled by other dudes who really have no idea what they're talking about (not talking about the critique that guy talked about btw, just in general)

>>1668169
from a design stanpoint, she is bland.
bland in every way. she lacks character and personality,
none of her clothes, hair, pose and expression have personality.

even her height and build in general seems boring.

>>1668257
to add to this annon's statement as an example

>>1668248
24. Ma non posso definirmi più che mediocre...

>>1668260
h-he doesn't necessarily need to go that far.
anyway, you get's the point.

coming up with quality ideas is also part of our work.

I give up

painting is 2 hard for me

>>1668280
You're not doing that bad. You're biggest issues seem to be with the gesture and anatomy, not so much the painting. Keep going, I think you'll come out with something pretty decent.

>>1668280

that's great, now i'm gonna take your future jorb

>>1668230
Alright. I'll post again. Fell out of the loop because I've been travelling and doing something else last couple of weeks.

>>1668257
>>1668264
Don't worry, I've always got these at the back of my head. This painting is actually for me to unwind after grinding through a couple of illustrations with some unfamiliar lighting and some amount of costume design. Doing something plain allows me to study or experiment without getting too worked up about accuracy, design etc. For this one, I'm experimenting with finish (painterly vs. tight rendering) and colors.

But I am focusing on design more this year, so I hope more of my works will show it in the future. Thanks.

>>1668282
>>1668283
I'm just gonna learn 3d instead

looks a hell of a lot easier than this fucking bullshit

>>1668280
Looks like a nice start, Anon.Just keep working on it.Also use 50% Gray as a background when doing this stuff since it'll otherwise throw off your values and it'll create more headaches later when you decide to color it.
________________________

Thanks ,anons.I feel like my proportions are still off but Im still focusing more on edges rather than accurate representation.Still better than just tracing the face like ctrl+paint lol.

Ill help some people in hard times

>>1668169
she looks like a character from code name kids next door

>>1668324

strong likeness.

>>1668321

it is. enjoy making less $$$ while building the stuff we imagine, conceptualize and design faggot.

I've been working an hour and a half on this, any obivous things I should change before I go any further?

>>1668324
that missing highlight (and too small shadow) on the right side of her lower lip makes the perspective of her mouth look off. (also, lower lip doesnt go out enough) other than that, pretty nice. i really like those values.

also, since im such a lazy would you mind posting your reference please?

i'm so glad you decided to post such a large image! otherwise all that detail would have gone unnoticed.

>>1668345

paint some landscapes from reference. there's too much wrong to adress anything specific

>>1668373

Will do, even though I hate copying

>>1668375
go outside

>>1666512
wanted to do a color movie screenshot study, but I turned it into bw preety fast. cannot do color for shit.

im calling it a night. anything I should look out for when i come back to it tomorrow.

>>1668490
on side of that one I was also working on this. so critique maybe?

Rendering them rocks is fucking me. My first full enviroment study with no reference at all

Any advices?

^-^

mullins study

>>1668611
a study on what exactly ?
Composition ? Color ? Brushwork ? Cuz those are so badly executed it doesn't seem to concentrate on either...Nobody likes sloppy seconds, anon.

>>1668358
I'm sorry but 1.88 MB is large for something so shit.

>>1668627
it's for colors. How do you properly study exactly?

help me pls, never painted an armor before, dont know how the lighting should behave , made some assumptions coz im clueless
>>1667939
sorry I went the plate way coz I always draw naked bodies so wanted to try something different, thank you for the comment tho
>>1668248
21 tu?

>>1668640
by picking an aspect and focusing on it till you get it exactly right,while analizing why he did what he did the way he did it.

...

>>1668237
Not yet no still getting used to transfer being turned off figure I'll break myself in with knights and things

>>1668644
It already looks like you're getting to where you want. It looks pretty damn competent already, just put more feathers and make them stand out a little, his face and the feathers is the focus, no? I don't quite know, though, just my two cents.

As for me and my stuff, I think I got the basic thing down. Looks a bit boring-- any of you know some way I can add some interesting things to the guy?
I should put some more effort into it tomorrow.

Also, anyone know any tips to deal with sore wrists? keeps happening once in a blue moon, and it's really annoying.

Still lives.
These bad art days make my cry evry tiem,,,

>>1668650
>http://ctrlpaint.com/videos/the-tiny-study
I've been following this, I do understand what you meant by badly executed though.

this was a 3 hour disaster, i am never painting again

>>1668715

Don't do shit like this, and don't say it took you 3 hours cause it just hurts my soul knowing you could have used that time learning how body parts work but you instead were wasting your time polishing this turd for who knows what reason.

3 hours? Fucking A dude!

>>1668561
finished, what do you guys think?

>>1667487
the highlight on the barrel is directly in the center, which would only happen if the light source was on the horizon. also the planes/structure of the whole top bit (what the fuck is it called? the swively part with the gun and hatch) is all mucked up

cool rendering and drawing for the most part tho

>>1667796
you need to just start a new piece man this thing is not going anywhere at all and you arent learning at all

>>1668324
look at the thumbnail, the biggest issue is the pose and mass of hair is wrong. your picture looks really static and shitty compared to the flowing, energetic shapes in the photo. work on that before working on rendering.

>>1668345
everything is the same value and it looks like a sponge/finger painting done by an 8 year old

was messing around a bit with blocking in then refining and the thing on the right was made. opinions so far? i cant continue cause photoshop stopped working on me

>>1669361
Looks cool to me.

>>1667608

God fucking dammit Anon. This looks like shit and I hate it. Fuck.

Advice? I'm probably just going to sand it off (prismacolors) and go over the ink again.

>>1670731
You know you don't have to do something just because some guy on /ic/ told you too.

Shouldn't have done it if you didn't want to, which you didn't.

Guess you just gotta sand it off and restart that part.

>>1670758

I know I didn't have to, that's the worst part.

>>1670759

Lesson learned though, that's the last time I'll take a d/ick/'s opinion over my own.

>>1670731
make the coulor shift to orange at the bottom or fix it another way
