would this list ever be updated?

i draw on the train

>>1748439
dam, looks good

>>1748439
NJ Transit?

>>1748437
Somebody changed the CGHub link in the last thread, which I've forgotten had shut down.

It's been this way for almost 3 years. I'm open for changes. Drop some suggestions and I'll change the OP for the next thread if it is good.

What do you feel is important to have in the OP? What is necessary, and what should be left out? I'm open for suggestions, for a better OP.

>>1748439
Ausfag?

Trying to look at a photo for a few minutes then close and do from memory.

>>1748448
It's a bit too blurry. Try to make the edges of the boat more defined.

might as well post this, thinking about actualy painting this, similar colours, posted it ages ago but got no feedback.
>crit me on composition mostly as i have given little to no lighting.

>>1748447
yea, you know your public transport pretty good fello anon
>>1748443
dont know what that is
>>1748440
thanks

>>1748436
>black lines surrounding figure.
i see none in the photo anon.
>also
pay attention to your negative spaces.
>tones
sholder could be dropped back and darker tone, same with neck but only for tone.

>angle of the eye and nose

its coming along, i think you should keep pushing anon

First time doing this.

what do you think /ic/?

>>1748487
tried to draw an imaginary cube in the same perspective and under the same lighting conditions as the coaster

Tell me what you guys think. Unless its something negative, my little heart cant take it.

>>1748493
I don't think that the lower left leg should be entirely black, but other than that I have no complaints.

>>1748490
Dirty and extremely big. Do some research and start over. good luck tho.

>>1748491
paper from imagination

>>1748490
The placement of the features and shape of the head are a fair bit off, and the hair doesn't work. With hair try and drape it over the forms of the head as if it's fabric, pic related.

>>1748493
I second the other anon that it seems too dark, and I'd say the contrast is off. When underwater, light tends to soften values a bit, think of it like it's lighting up the water all around you, almost like mist or something. Unless you're deep down, in which case light struggles to reach that far. Basically check out some diving footage reference and figure out what depth you want for this.

Other than that it's looking good, the composition could be tweaked though. Making the shark bigger would make it more threatening, because right now he looks a little kawaii to me, and I'm not sure about having her covering him and taking up so much of the screen. Keep at it anon.

>>1748531
These are improving anon, I'd suggest doing some with 100% opacity/hard brushes though, these are very soft and blurry in places. You can always do it with hard shapes and then soften whatever edges you want, I do that most've the time since it gives more control over edge design.

>>1748535
While hes an amazing artist that is the worst drawing tut I have seen

>>1748540
Don't think it's really a tut, more just some tips and trying to get them to think about hair differently.

meh

>>1748542
welll... still. Couldn't think of a proper form for it but the examples are so scratchy its just not a good tut/tip/example

For funsies.

>>1748477
That's some bad fucking ref m8 she looks like an amputee

>>1748436
Gesture is way off. You've made her more upright, which throws off a lot of 2D landmarks that you could be using to make sure things are placed correctly.

>>1748551

add a warm light source, even if very subtle. will make it feel alot less flat

from my now second time of working through drawing on the right side of the brain. Crit?

>>1748545
I don't see anything wrong with it, he presents a concept and shows it visually.

>>1748591
Thnks for the advice anon.

Oil on panel, first time here what do you think?

Sorry annons stone thread

Trying to learn how to draw people at least decently before the next Uni year. What do I need to focus on to improve?

>>1748671

value

>>1748671
>>1748684

I'd say good construction first. Look at the Reilly method, or watch atelier drawing vids to get an idea of the workflow and then practice it constantly to pick it up.

>>1748684
Do you mean I should work in values rather than lines?

>>1748687
Will do. Thanks! :)

>>1748645
there is no light

>>1748645
>>1748695
There's light, but it's located strongly on the throat and nowhere else. Based on the lighting on the throat, there'd be shadows caster off of the nose, side-swept bangs, and to a lesser extent, mouth and eye socket.

>>1748645
>>1748707
Kudos, though, I can't stand oils so I commend anyone that has the patience for them.

>>1748671
I see a lot of anime influence you're trying to grow out of. I'm seconding the "structure" suggestion (study planes of the face), *then* move onto values.
>dat Buddha earlobe

>>1748707
no i mean it lacks the sense of light
should be obv that if color exists light exists

>>1748710
Ha, he has got quite the buddha ear going on there.
Studying Reilly's method as the other anon said so I can iron out that anime-ish-ness.
Thanks for the input!

>>1748435
it's like a combination between ed edd n eddy x cramp twins x ren and stimpy i like it
>>1748439 your shadows are cool, bit too technical, was it dark outside?

>>1748430
I like the OP.

Hello darkness my old friend

>>1748631
I think I will stop and go back to studying.

>>1748734
You use lasso tools entirely for the hair?
I like that crisped shapes look. I might need to try it next time.

>>1748749
nah, just keep posting every time you move a few fucking pixels around. Sounds like a better idea! :)))

don't know what the fuck I'm doing, trying brushes on sai

>>1748734
whats wrong with your faaaaces

>>1748787
brushes dont matter if you dont use it like a brush.

hurr

>>1748734
I just have no idea how you do these. I'm reasonably good at figures and all, it's just that they don't look like paint to me, it's like a 3D model or photobashed or something.

And I mean that in the best possible way, as a compliment. I dig your work, it's just I can't imagine how you go about doing it.

>>1748794
yeah well I mean the overall tools of sai, yes, I call tools brushes even though it's wrong. It"s pretty limited though.

and I used the canvas texture for the leds of the eyes
>rekt come at me

durr

>>1748798
>>1748755
reverse engineering it makes it look simpler. The difference here is in how well you can paint and render the body. There is really no other barrier if your fundies are there.

super thin oil paint.

>>1748829
this level of autism...

>>1748852
Not sure if it is intentional or not, but there is a mighty tangent between the top of her shoulder and the V shape of the crotches of the two people behind.

>>1748852
they seem to have small rib cages with the space made up with those long bellies.

>>1748787
you are working section by section.
remember that it is a whole drawing/painting, work on all of it at once, large brushes are your friends.

finished this ms paint drawing tonight

Digging all the traditional stuff I've been seeing on /ic/ lately. I need a better camera.

Cloth study, oil on canvas.

any suggestions?

>>1748906
It took me a really long time to figure out what the fuck that was.

>>1748896
I'm erect.

>>1748912
i dont know why ipads do that when you take pictures. well was there anything wrong after younsaw it correctly?

>>1748898
from the thumbnail it looks great,

>>1748912
now im really curious, is that glasses of some kind?

>>1748943
theyre snowboarding goggles

I wanted a mountain to reflect on the puddle of blood, symbolically piercing his eyes but it looked stupid so now there's this

wip asaro and skull study

thanks to any feedback

I'm really trying to find a lineart style of my own. I really love using different colors for the lineart instead of black, like on the left. But at the same time I feel that's sort of missing something in the line variety? But then on the right, I tried changing the colors and it just really defeated the purpose of using line variety to not have the lines a good noticeable color. I'm really indecisive here so my next piece is going to be a lineless because I find those easier to pull off. I guess part of my insecurity from always having inking be a bitch has rubbed off on me and I feel like my lines will never be good enough. Sorry, this wasn't supposed to be a feels thread...

>>1748970
>muh style

You're 10.000 years to early to be thinking about that.

an unfinished doodle from imagination...

how am I doing? i've never asked for a serious critique before, so speak up about anything

>>1748970
You're having trouble inking because what you're trying to ink isnt good.
Think about it. You could be the best inker in the world but not make a 7 year old's doodle of a dinosaur look right. That's why whatever you're doing isnt coming out right.

>>1748983
There's so little you've drawn here there's literally nothing to critique. It's like you set up all your cooking ingredients and mixed half the batter in, and are asking people to critique it. At least bake the base of the cake you intend to ice y'know?

>>1748970
everyone is talking to you in a language you might not understand, just ignore their cryptic riddles and start studying the following topics:
>Gesture
>Form/structure
>Perspective
>Proportions
>Anatomy
You can find very good resources here, just ask for them and start getting better!

>>1748430

>>1748881
thx for the advice, In my head I always have that way of doing, but I just don't do it, I will actually do that now.

though, after I got the "big blocks" in place, it looks so confusing, would you have a "process" pic to show an example of detailing little by little ?

Just fucked up the colour of my Cola still life, guess I should move on.

>>1749001
Using the mirror tool screwed up your light in places.

>>1748953
this is horrible you are horrible

>this is perfect and I want to see more.
Blog/website please?

>>1749017
Nail the colour for the rest of it so hard that it'll be noticeably different and interesting anon.

>>1749001
your perspective is kind of fucked up, considering the man is behind her and is xtimes bigger than her

>>1748919
Wow, thank you anon. Incidentally thanks to the anon who uploaded scans of Alla Prima the other week, damn great read, been helping me a lot.

>>1749001
i hate this new feminist bullshit, you can make interesting characters without them being naked sluts you know? so lazy

>>1749060
>i hate this new feminist bullshit

Uh what? You realize that you hold the feminist opinion here, right? Feminists hate female sexualized slut characters.

>>1749061
where do you think you are

>>1748749
Photos I'm sure

>>1748852

I really like the lights in this! It is odd though that the torsos have a definite hourglass outline, but the rib cage is missing, though it appears to begin at about the right place.

>>1748829
>muh theory
thanks for the tip miku

>>1748852
Pretty cool

>>1749028
Will keep that in mind, thanks for your advice anon!

>>1749064
love those tits makes me want to blow a load!

>>1749017

>>1749064

That is fucking sick

>>1749149
Top kek, thanks for the laugh anon. :)

>>1748873
It was intentional however I didn't realize it would be hard on the eyes. The pathways and composition thing I don't really have down.

>>1749001
Her tits looks like it is in pain.


>MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

>>1749157
Blame google for using captchas to make people decode the house numbers they get from streetview for free.

>>1749157
as someone who once bit someone's titty's raw I can agree.

And before anyone says anything.
College.

>>1748791
I see you say this a lot but never really offer any real critique. Or do you have nothing better to do than try to troll someone who is better than you will ever be at art than you will ever be your whole life?

>>1749157
had a good laugh, saved

>>1749163
I skip all of those ones or write nig or nog in them.

>>1748983
Looks like the incredibles style

:)

moar?

>>1748918
No, I just thought it was a videogame controller of some kind because of the air vents and then like 20 seconds later I realized you were shaun white.

>>1749274
this looked like some weird fantasy map at first glance

>>1749179
lol you're pretty stuck up and hes right. the eye on the left is popping out and her facial structure is that of a doll

wip in peace

i need to get better at backgrounds I never practice them

This is for a t-shirt illustration.

My biggest concern is whether or not young link should be there or not. On one hand, it sort of feels more 'complete', but without him, I feel like it's more centrally balanced (which is good for a shirt).

What do you guys think?

>>1749272

poster here, that is quite funny, I had noticed that the proportions seemed similar to Elastigirl too haha

spontaneously

>>1749314
not to be a dick but your foreground isn't exactly blowing me away either, man. before you paint you need to work on your composition a bit, the volumes of your shit is all over the board and I can't make heads or tails of it.

>>1749293
The artist obviously stylized it. Are you fucking retarded?

>>1749333
>Things looking retarded is all part of my style!

>>1749335

Are sketches ok here?

"fanart" (i guess) of this nice norwegian indie pop rock band.

This is already finished, but I'm curious what you guys think. I've already picked up some nitpicky shit I would change/adjust on my own, but I probably won't

>>1749001
BIG WET TITS

>>1748734
Are you the guy that drew the grey haired chick with the perfect bod in the last thread? Please tell me you have a blog or smth

>>1749338
No one called you bad or attack you except for the fact that you're delusional. You perceive criticism
and descent as "trolling" because you see your self as perfect. Art or design is no place for you, you
only hurt yourself by blocking others out, this is a board for artistic critique not your personal blog.
go back to tumblr.
>>1749333
i hope this is /ic/ satire

kek

>>1749298

having some fun with the clouds. probably tool around with the ground a bit more, clean up some of the lines, and call it done.

>>1749389
i wouldnt use a leaf brush for those leafs, we can tell you used a brush cus they all look exactly the same

>>1749389
The horizon would actually be somewhere between his hands and the eye of the creature. You could just break up the super straight line you have a bit, then put in really distant mountains you can't see any detail on. Would look more like maybe a mountain hill or something.

>>1749348
that tiny hand though.

>>1749326
without definitely.

>>1749393
Thanks, I'll go in and break them up. It's easy to go in and rough it in with a leaf brush to get the idea of it, but you're right, I should go back and work on it.

>>1749394
I'll try that out! Thanks, I appreciate the help a lot!

Daemon!

>>1749373
no blogs anymore

>>1749377

First attempt at trying to redesign Jak. Planning on doing around 5 of them

Please be honest about it I really need constructive critiques.

>>1749405
>projecting

>>1749411
You don't have a grasp of a sense of form. You have wrong proportions and wrong scales everywhere. It looks flat. practice construction and form. Back to foundations. Read the sticky.

want some critique.

>>1749394
Thanks a lot (about the shirt illustration). I decided to take him out as well.

>>1749414
hehe thank you and I agree.

>>1749415
i felt like the lighting was off when I drew it. Does anyone see it too? Any tips about consistency in lighting?

>>1749414
this actually wasnt drawn by me but I was allowed to post it and I removed for his sake the credits...he keeps insisting he is a professional?!? I'll definitely advice him to read the sticky.

>>1749419
it's like he wanted an erect position of the person and then suddenly decided to put the hand there

>>1749414
oops I forgot to ask if you could point out the wrong proportions and wrong scales?

>>1749410
not bad, son not bad

>>1749418

sketch

>>1749485
It's a nice rendering, but the colors and values are very drab. I think it'd look better with some areas of higher value, but that's just me!

>>1749403
Why? Your goal is to show your art, right?

>>1749491
ty, i agree, my eyes failed me then but i see it now

i'm trying to learn the basics, any advice? critic?

can't pinpoint what's wrong

>>1749326
I prefer the one with Link, only because the windmill guy's posture is leaning so far forward that having young Link stand there balances it out.
So like, you know, you could rotate the one on the right counter-clockwise a bit, and it'd look better.

I just saw the new mgsv trailer and oh my god im so fucking hype, heres a little sketch, can I get some c&c before continue?

>>1749574
From under the nose you should see a little of the bottom of the jaw, that's why her neck looks flat. Also her right eue seems a little too far away from her nose.

I just saw the new mgsv trailer and oh my god im so fucking hype, heres a little sketch, can I get some c&c before continue?

>>1749578
>>1749582

So why the need to post this twice with a really tiny downsizing?

>>1749594

I made a little mistake on the previous upload sorry about that, and I usually try to post a web friendly res

it's your favourite uncanny valleyist coming through.

Seriously though im in need of some tough critique, so i can stop with these pitfalls

>>1749613
I'm going to skimp on technical details since you've got that stuff down pat.

The face looks too old for a girl her age. Too defined of features makes it look like an older woman. Primarily talking about the nasolabial folds.

Forehead looks a little too widely spaced. It almost works for the style, but just a smidge too wide.

other than that, I dunno man, looks pretty solid to me. I guess the definition of the features around the elbows is a little too lumpy if I had to use any word for it.

>inb4 signing your work

>>1749616
signing your work is fine.
just make sure its worth signing.
>hint: its not

I'm practicing legs but I feel so lost. Any tips?

>>1749398
Pretty awesome man, saw this on fb already. Anyways, I think you are going overboard on some of the halftones and the forms are getting muddied. Check out some like marble sculptures maybe (since they have a single local value like yours) and see how clean the forms are.

My paintover is a bit shit, but maybe shows some stuff? I dunno. I think you also are over exaggerating some of the outer contours.

>>1749632
Looks pretty good, keep going

>>1749616
Signing it implies that you are finished with the product. Was this a finished piece? Because that untouched ear is irritatingly distracting (to me, at least).

I did thing. How is it for my first digital art? P-Please be gentle, Anon-kun. I managed this without a tablet.

>>1749640
no depth

>>1749640
Andrew? You don't pull off that abstract brushwork stuff, and it's a pretty weak design I think.

>>1749632
for practicing legs you managed to hide most of the legs.

trying to get into backgrounds. Kinda of stuck at the moment.
Any help would be appreciated

>>1748596
Watch those hairy lines

>>1748801

Hello horsebro.

>>1749671
Hm, yeah I started the bg as being completely flat since I was just doing a character design and not an illustration, then I started hinting at an environment. I agree that the bg is very flat still...Or do you mean the character itself is flat? In which case I need to show the forms better.

>>1749680
Yup it's me. It's still a WIP which is why the brushwork is shit. Why do you feel it is a weak design? Is it just generic? I had some lamellar metal plate things on the chest before, but my gf said to remove them since it looked a bit tacky and busy. Should I continue working on the painting? What are the issues specifically?

Painting I'm working on. It's oils. Have a long way to go, but looking for any criticism and pointers so far .
On another note, I've tried photoshop painting, but I can never get the same effects. I have a nice tablet and everything, but the paint strokes are just different, and every single one of my paintings on PS are so off I can't finish them.
there's this really weird feeling I get from painting on photoshop, maybe I'm just not used to it compared to traditional techniques. Any advice? Sorry for being vague

>>1749890
oops forgot pic sorry for shit quality

>>1749890
It takes a very long time to get used to using a tablet in general. You've got some very nice colours in your painting, but the perspective is off, most noticeably the bridge that is supposed to lead to the door/castle

>>1749613
the thing that bothers me the most is that the left eye (her right one) doesn't work like that

>>1749958
thanks, yea I eyeballed it completely. I personally think its too late to turn back now, but live and learn.
I draw traditionally for hours upon hours every day, but maybe I should split the time and draw with a tablet for half, and traditionally for half. the brushes bother me the most because they just can't simulate the way I use a pencil properly, so I get frustrated and just go back to using my lead holder.
Is there a certain brush that you guys use for your drawings like in >>1749064
Awesome work by the way, loving those lines.

>>1749640
Tiny head

>>1749729
Welp

about half done but i need some help guys

>>1749986
fuck up those tiles more

>>1749986
now do something with that, add robbers/special force units or something with motion

is there any way i can finish this without fucking it up?

>>1750009
it's digital, you can't fuck up, only limited by your understanding of things.

ruan jia study

>>1750068

ur getting better! godspeed bro!

when i'm a rich and famous millionaire i will throw a party in my penthouse appartment and have every fellow d/ic/k i studied alongside flown in with an escort of 4 fitness model grils.

>>1750009
you have wayyyyyy too many lightsources. I mean, it's possible to pull off but It's going to be very very hard at your level.

You need to do a picture with each light source isolated. Figure out the values first then do some color studies.

I started a paint over but 5 minutes in it was just hard to tell what anything was from the original drawing.

In short: Do 4 value studies in grayscale for each individual light source. Then do a color study for each and lastly do value studies trying to mix them all.

>>1749796
Yes I'd say its generic, I'm not that into fantasy stuff but I'm sure I've seen outfits that look 90% the same as that in skyrim. I don't know what your going for but the design bores the socks of me personally. I think it would probably benefit from some more interesting articles that are outside the norm, I attached a pic of what I think is cool but whatever.

I think this is the proper place to post this.

Started it a few hours ago, how's it looking? What should I change?

>>1748430

>>1750133
Character pose is super boring. Look @ pic, its not a very good one or anything but its more dynamic and interesting.

Also, your value structure sucks, worm is gigantic and should be in background, less contrast, atmospheric perspective etc.

>>1750133
>dune worm
looks like any old depiction of shai-hulud

>>1748430

>>1750109
Alright thanks for the feedback. I've never actually played skyrim (not even a gamer). I'll try to change the design to have some fresher elements. Goddamn design is so hard, I always feel so lost with it...things are just generic or derivative when I paint them.

>>1750159
current wip

>>1750154

Okay, thanks for the advice, changing a few things now

>>1750072
not him although i dreamed a similar thing a month or so ago.
I was ultrarich and had a huge mansion where i invited everyone from ic to come live without worries and study together . At the end of every week of study id buy everyone a top escort for the weekend.

dreams man..

>>1749645
Thank you! Yeah i was really focusing on the surface treatment and you really helped me step back and get the forms to stand out better

>>1750174

oh lawd i have a feeling we would get along very well irl

one day brah, one day

>>1749377
The fuck? There weren't even any critiques. Just "LOL THOSE FACES" "LOL FIX YOUR FACE KNOWLEDGE IT LOOKS LIKE A DOLL"

I'm not even the artist of those. You don't know what a critique is or even understand how stylization works.

It's like looking at a sketch of goofy and bitching thats not how dogs look.

I just finished this today.
I just started taking drawing seriously and not only doing some shitty stuff for school. This is the first drawing in my scribbling block.
This was made with a photograph as model. How do I get better at drawing from imagination other then just drawing some more?

>>1750072
thanks man ! sounds great to me !

we should also have an ic workshop.

Just wanted to share this. It's just a gifset showing Thomas Scholes' process:

http://www.artofscholes.com/making-of/

Sorry, I don't have an scanner so I tried drawing this with a mouse, can somebody draw something like this? thanks

Oil pastel

>>1750238

Well it completely depends on a few things

1. What do you want to get better at?
-Narrow it down, faces, anatomy, atmospheres, landscape, composition etc.

2. Refer to the STICKY on this board, I know it looks like a massive blast of information but that's because it is. Find your specific interest and pursue it, you may be inspired to pick up other interests.

3. Time. Literally, nothing is over night, it takes a lot of practice and memory conditioning for muscle memory and imagination to be able to draw instinctively and confidently and correctly. You need to invest time, if you don't have the time then quit while you're ahead.

tootay frootay at a roobay toosday

>>1750262
thanks, shouldn't I first try to atleast be able to draw everything by some kind of standard and then decide?

Selfie lol

>>1749523
>Any advice?
Keep going. These are good man and I see a bunch of potential. Studies and experiments are great, but don't forget to apply them. Do sketches and drawings of your own things constantly.

>>1749582
Focus on your shape design. The head of the guy on the far left and far right are nice, make sure everything reads well as you work on it.

He either has a tiny head, huuuuge ass hands, or both. Keep at it or start a new one, it's our choice, but I think you should stick at it man. The lighting on the head is nice, maybe try do something more like that with the rest of the piece. Basically keep in mind that if it's an illustration then you don't need to show everything, unlike concept design. Give us some cool shadows, leave things to the imagination, draw us into the piece and most of all give it some kind of story.

So glad you're still working on this, been a'lurkin it in other threads. Keep it up.

>>1749523
>Any advice?
Keep going. These are good man and I see a bunch of potential. Studies and experiments are great, but don't forget to apply them. Do sketches and drawings of your own things constantly.

Can confirm, I stumble upon her post last time. I remember her thread received a lot of upvotes.

I'm currently lining this piece. Not too crazy about the right leg at the moment.

>>1750272

here is a show of progress, what is this called that i'm doing where im going one shade next to the other gradually i dont even know lol

A free man fights a slave
What a fool
He does not know
How a caged animal fights

>>1750077
thanks based anon! god bless you

>>1748965
very very nice

the forehead is a little off respect the perspective, but the good execution covers it

alright that's it for this study time for bed...

>>1750410
Looking good so far

>>1748965
Thumbnail looks good, you've got the big read down nicely. Full res... hard to say, might just be a messy photo. Skull in the back looks smugasfug

"both men are free, one just believes he is a slave"

started drawing this year

trying to get more fluid and just draw with out a goal, this is the result

a gay robot / iron giant thing

>>1749574
Reminds me of Clarissa
Please tell me its not Clarissa

Something I've been working on. I'm going to add the lights for the smaller figure(aswell as what he stands on) soon, but I'd like some feedback on this thing.

I also did skip ahead with the colors to get a sense on how things may turn out, I just used the bucket tool and then set the layer adjustment to "color". Felt kinda weird, will post if needed.

Think I'm just gonna abandon this one

>>1750530
May wanna get some reference and some studies.

Finished it yesterday. Nose is the next.
Then, someday I'll assemble th whole David.

keep it up.
don't stop.
or
your a fagget

>>1750525
Everything is blurry and there isn't much gesture or emotion in the piece. Hard to tell if there's any sense of scale once you push the values, so far there isn't much of any

>>1750525
Some suggestions for compositions involving giants

>>1750498
huh, free persons would periodically enter in gladiator fights, the majority of gladiators were slaves.

>>1750356
why would a slave have a shiny armor and weapons? he is a slave, he shouldnt have that armor as slaves usually dont have any possessions

hi - trying to work on creases and folds in material. Any comments gratefully received.

>>1750618
aaaaaaaagggggain

Gladiators rarely killed or fought to the death in the arena. Gladiators were entertainers, a slave master would put a lot of money and investment into his fighters, (training, living space, food, equipment). Doesn't make sense for them to just kill each other? Fights to the death did happen but those were heavily advertised and usually involved prisoners of war or convicts.

>>1750621
i thought they were normal knights. it makes sense for a slave/gladiator to have the armor.
excuse my confusion

Cleaning up the lineart for my end assignment. Deadline is Friday.
Some small c&c? Maybe on the house.
Assignment is to design some sort of flying delivery service. So the whole thing is floating in the air

>>1750620
does not make any sense because the folds do not follow the form

the lines just look like scratches on the shirt instead of the form being manipulated

>>1750682
Love the concept but your lineart is, uh.. pretty bad. Try to maximize the use of photoshop tools such as lines and ellipses and so on.

>>1750620
limit your values and make lines consistent with form.
>>1750682
there's no consistency in the shape language & silhouette is clunky as fuck; if you have to tell me it's in the air, that's a bad sign. the biggest problem is there doesn't appear to be any actual design here.

>>1750688
Thanks, it's really more of a sketch than a lineart, I know. But I hope I can clean it a bit more up when I'm coloring it tomorrow.
>>1750692
Thanks for the critique,
I kinda get your points about the silhouette. I had an engine but you can't see it in my current drawing, which I know is a bad sign. But again, I don't really have time to spare, which is again my own fault.
Maybe give you the mood I'm kinda wishing to go for. It's supposed to be an old industrial asian kind of house where an old couple have been living for a while and they deliver some kind of gross fake orange juice which is stored in the tank. The teacher also asked for a kind of "cozy" mood, and that's why I went with the terrace and the potted plants.

Got any small suggestions maybe, nothing too big offc?

>>1750692
>>1750685
thanks. will work on it.

>>1749064
brush settings?

Wipitty wip

Thoughts?

>>1750766
Nice painting, sublime

>>1750766

wow I'm gay

>second post of shame

WIP
Some help? I think the arms are weird.

Could anyone give me a hint on the placement of the breasts? Anything else would also be highly appreciated.
Working on this for some anon in a draw thread, but I'm terribly slow.
Also, I just realised the arms are too short.

>>1750767

holy shit man you only gave me 21 seconds

>>1750769

That guy hugboxing you about your noses on tumblr was wrong, your noses are retarded. Like, they're not even Nezumi noses anymore

>>1750776
>Nezumi
They weren't Nezumi to begin with.
>your noses are retarded
let's have a civilized discussion, give me an example of what would look good.

>>1750769
>>1750776
I have to agree. Ever since that first guy pointed the noses out your pictures look weird to me.

>>1750778
not that guy, but i'd put it like this: your noses don't look like noses, they look like a giant bulb in the middle of the face. you probably think of it that way as well, judging from the way you draw profile view.

other people think of a stylization that makes people remember a nose, in one way or another.
yours doesn't resemble a nose in any way. there is no skeletal structure that would create this kind of "nose"

>>1748493

>>1750769
The face is kind of weird, man. Her left ear is sticking out way too much, the nose looks more like a fin and causes the mouth to look tiny and receded.

>>1750801
>Her left ear is sticking out way too much
I think that's done on purpose.

>>1750801
>>1750807
>ear
Yeah, that's kind of on purpose.
>mouth look tiny and recede
Okay, thanks

I took about 3 days on this

30 min spitpaint

coloars

>>1750835
find yourself a new fetish, this is getting boring real fast

>>1750837
Yup, I mentioned that to the guy before that he is stuck in his comfort zone and he basically was full of excuses.

>>1750778
>They weren't Nezumi to begin with.

Maaate

>>1750768
Looks like something you'd see on an album cover.

>>1750345
I feel like you only focused on getting the breasts right since the quality seems to drop everywhere else

>>1750845
I didn't know nezumi. But looks awfully like what I was doing. Don't know what to say. I wanted to draw like juder.

>>1750848
Work on your construction more. The nose should project out from the head more, the mouth and jaw are not working with the upper part of the face/head etc.

I would also say to be more careful with your shadows, there are lots of big value jumps within it. Try simplifying and flattening the shadow more, don't make the reflected light so strong.

Probably a good idea to grab some reference too and see where you can fix things.

>>1750853

Well if you legit weren't mindful of this I'll believe you. Who the dick is juder though

>>1750770
Slight update. No comment at all?

>>1750844
to bad cause im sure he could be great at other stuff

>>1750854
Thanks for the critique

>I already repainted the mouth four times
I'll get out some pencils and practice construction first, seems the most important issue to me...

Scrap it. Those hands man. She doesn't feel like she's grounded. She's standing awkwardly.

Rhythm and Balance ~

>>1750870
notice the profile view.

>>1750870

Eh, I prefer Nezumi's work. Well, minus the anal prolapses and such. Her clean work at least.

>>1750873
Thanks for that keyword, I felt like that too, just couldn't pinpoint my error. Looking at balance now.

I was planning on spending an hour or so just on the hands to get them right, hence the red colour.

>>1750875
Yeah, I'll be studying from it (and actual studies, I know ic policies)

>>1750890

Yeah, you need to make sure it looks good a whole before working on details. Otherwise it's polishing a turd lol.

>>1750837
>>1750844
you guys must really hate mucha, vargas, domergue, ect...

or are the same person that has a dick in your butt

Finished this a couple days ago

First time using charcoal, so i'd love some tips

>>1750911
Looks muddy as hell brotha

>>1750891
>I know ic policies
don't "I know ic policies" me you cheeky cunt.
your faces look like that because you don't understand the structure of the face, so actual studies would do you good.
because right now, you are basing your style off someone elses style. that's why you have trouble with difficult angles, because you don't actually understand the features you are stylizing as well as how to stylize them.

>>1750911
>>1750914

I would disagree with this. Pretty damn good, especially if it's your first time with the medium.

>>1749632
draw a vagina

>>1750898
you are extremely deluded

>>1750769
how do I save this from becoming a pile of shet

>>1750941
says the person who has no argument and tries to troll every picture with

>delusional
>projecting

drop it guy. you're an idiot with really obvious insecurities.

added some value

>>1750947
Says the guy who got upset over criticism on a board dedicated to it.
You obviously are so oblivious that anything even slightly negative to you is hatred and a personal attack.

>>1750967
again, what critques have been given. there hasnt been a single one

>>1750356
Is the one dude tripping? I can't really makes heads or tails of the poses.

>>1750979
>>1750967

i dont like how you stylize faces isnt a crit

>>1750992
>>1750835
im the person who has commented on his faces recently(i haven't posted in the thread yet), just because they look strange in quarter view, but one of the problems persists with the front view. His necks are always so disconnected, it's really distracting, maybe others don't pay attention.

as for this particular piece, i hope people will agree when i point out thats not a well done form for the body. unnecessarily stiff shoulder neck area and really strange chest form.

>>1750914
How about some constructive criticism

>>1750993
why don't you give feedback to the many shitty pictures in this thread instead of targeting his work with your vague inane bs crits that serve nothing more than stroke your own ego? this place would be so much better without fucks like you.

>>1750993
(i haven't posted in tiis thread yet) is code for "I am samefag"

>>1750860
Can I save this one?

Oh my god someone please teach me how to draw
I know the hand is retarded its supposed to be

>>1751057
Forgot pic

the other one I did

>>1750835
I bet you get a kick out of the beginners who criticize you work here. I would.

kay or gay

>>1751167
eh only one guy is a douchebag about it but he replies to literally everything I post. I think he just really loves me.

I get a kick out of doing paintovers and helping people out though

>>1749670
Looks like something out of a glitchy n64 game, get a cheap tablet

>>1750077
If that's the pyro from tf2 then there's only one light source (the thing at the end of the stick doesn't emit light, it's the freedom staff)

>>1751024
Yes but you'll have to kill so much it would be easier to start anew

>>1748543

the mantle cover? nice

i think it's a bit ragged, if you look at it as a thumbnail it works but if you open the whole picture there is a lack of detail

plus, you would need a background of some sorts, nature or landscape
