This thread is hard to find from the catalog because you used the wrong field for the title :(

>>1894345

Learn to draw before paint ;)

>>1894385
>>1894476
put some nice hard edges in and they'd be awesome.

Pew pew, any crits are welcomed as allways!

>>1894345
still looks like jelly

>>1894345
>>1894404
yes, go back to the basics bro, anatomy and values.

use a lot of reference.

The paper was too big for the scanner

>>1894404
>>1894501
>>1894507

dammit

>>1894533
Have you even seen blood drip down? Try to find photos of boxers with an injury, or photos of a bloody nose or something.

Also, blood soaks into fabric - it's not this shiny gelatinous fluid that cleanly slides down the outside.

Second, what is the source of the blood? Where's the injury site? It is his blood or his enemies blood? If depending on the cause of the injury, the type of injury, and the source of the injury, you'd expect a lot of splatter - not icing applied to the top of a shield that slowly pours down.

Blood is thicker than water, but it isn't jello.

how to submerge subject into background??

Pretty new to portraits, any serious flaws?

>>1894533
>>1894533
the blood looks like ketchup and you need hard lines. its really good subject matter, but it looks like im near sighted.

i would suggest going in there and outlining with a very dark greyed complimentary colors in the shadows [[almost black]] and lighter in the highlights

as for the blood that just looks bad man, just take it out, and practice

>>1894564
the ears are uneven
the outer edge of the eye should meet the beginning of the ear as well

very good though

>>1894564
>>1894577
>flipping the image
remember kids

something feels off, but I cant pinpoint it

>>1894607
Flip the image.

>>1894607
i dont see anything

>>1894607
>>1894618
Hairs don't look good when each strain is drawn out individually.

drawthread shall never be page 2.

>>1894607
>>1894629
thanks

I think the eyes were bugging me the most, I also smoothed the skin and hair a bit

>>1894616
I do flip all the time, but I think it wasn't something that I could "see" by flipping

i have to put together a portfolio for intermediate drawing (foundation program) tomorrow, but even the "best" drawings in the bunch are still weak. i'm still working on bottom right, of all the little sheds.

also, even though i improved a little bit, my sense of value is really muddy and dark - i'm not sure which exercises are best (in addition to observation) in honing sensitivity and control in this area. any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

>>1894698
>I tried so hard and got so far
IN THE END IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTTERRR

>>1894577
>the outer edge of the eye should meet the beginning of the ear as well
it depends on the angle of the head.

>>1894744
faces are also not symmetrical

Can someone critique this figure plz? I'm having a lot of trouble with it, especially the boob.

thx

>>1894800
>>1894744

That being said there are plenty of people with uneven ears (even though the painting's ears are obvious to see), look at steven colbert's ears...

I just measured my ears and it's not completely even.

>>1894818
Long face, probably just the chin being too long. Think about how the head should be foreshortened with the slight downtilt.

For the breast, you're best bet is to draw the midline down the sternum. With that and the form of the ribcage indicated, it's much easier to place the breast correctly.

>>1894825
THX!

>>1894818
Update, still doesn't feel right, I don't quite know what it is, but I think I got it looking a lot better. Fixed the face etc..

Any glaring issues?

>>1894905
I know you went for a muscular/slim body type, but it just doesn't look quite feminine, I think the main reason is because her shoulders looks too large.
I think her head is a little off, maybe it could be bigger and placed little bit to her right side.

Also, you could put less elements in the scene, like that thing in red to the left, maybe if you bring it all closer, it would look better, more solid.

That's just my opinion though.

Thanks for the advice in that other thread.

>>1894905

oh hey anon this is gonna be juicy when it's done. you might want to look at some alma tadema i have a feeling you are trying to achieve a similar vibe to his work.

>>1894577
Better?

>>1894943
those eyes seem to big for the skull, makes it look anime-ish, did you ref that boob?

first time trying it, how do I gg?

>>1894962
In grayscale.

>>1894968
looks uncanny, love it!

>>1894967
>Beginner Thread
>>1891256

>>1894970
thanks m8

>>1894965
I think I mistakenly moved the eyes highlight layer before saving this version, so they look wider than what they actually are.

I fixed her boob after anon told me the past version was wrong, I will look for some references, I think it's about time.

Alright, I took a day or so off from working on this, but I think I finally got the placement and proportions of the arm sorted out. At least, I really hope so.

>>1895017
hand seems a little too wide, I'd look for a reference if you can

>>1895019
I've been using reference. Well, I'll go with this block in for now and keep refining it.

>>1894538
>>1894568
man now i see how bad the blood was
thanks for the feedback anons!
>now i can paint jelly and ketchup

>>1894607
i think the lips are a bit small
so is the nose
makes her look a bit pinched

>>1894959
Thanks and that's the exact vibe im trying to go for, along with a little dark horrorness

Mind giving me some critique or redlining, guys?

>>1895071

>>1895075
HHAhahahahahahhahahahahhaha
>>1895071
I like the play on contrast in it
!

>>1895075
Top kek
>>1895076
thanks, mate

>>1894497
was still hoping for a critique:)

>>1895079
Did you give any critiques to those without?

>>1895017
Make the palm thinner and/or longer.

>>1895017

>>1895120
Much better.

>>1895120
>>1895115
>>1895121
Already taken care of, thanks guys.

>>1894512
>>1894527
>>1894962
>>1895071

good art, keep it up!

>>1895048
blood looks a lot better. i would still advice going in there with hard lines though.

>>1894962
oh yeah i think i looks better

>>1894563
>>1894563
does anyone have any advice on this question?

>>1895144
the bottom half is disproportionally bigger then the bottom, and the increase starts directly under the right tit

>>1895168

define 'submerge'

Hi ic. Was wondering if anyone could give a generall advice on dramatic or more interesting lighting. Opintions are welcome aswell.

trying to find nice temperature contrasts before comitting to colors. also running into huge issues value wise.

thanks for the kind replies in the last thread forgive me for being too lazy to reply.

update

still not really satisfied

should I ditch and do other studies?

>>1895264
I would say now do a study of a girl face
Maybe find one in the same angle
And pay a lot of attention on how the features are placed and shaped
Everything you have done is bad but thats okay, take your time with the next study and, more importantly apply what you have learnt
Good luck

>>1895264
Do other studies, don't get stuck on this one, you can't save it (sorry)

>>1895275
Why haven't you been telling Firez this?

>>1895270
mind giving me some pointers on whats bad exactly?

Also should I stick with b/w or try color as well?

>>1895144
Yo bro, you used some book to learn values and shading? Cause I want to shade like this, but I have no idea of where start.

>>1895278
because firez is stubborn and will continue anyways

>>1895283
Post your reference.

>>1895291
Mainly from imagination (light, forms)

used this as a base though

>>1895296
you're trying to do a portrait that's at least semi-realistic and you're using a picture of some anime girl as your reference

this is why you're struggling

>>1895283
black and white
and dont use another animu face again until you know how to construct a head
otherwise it will end up like shit
if you wanna draw your waifu, first you gotta learn how to draw a real girl
scond practice a lot so you can draw from imagination
and third use all this knowledge and experience
to drawa portrait of your waifu
so read the sticky and come back in a few months

>>1895306
shit man I'm jealous of your VALUES

>>1895264
changed to the point where it might not be helpful, but think about form and planes of head a lot more. In general you just need to get more familiar with the face an its feature keep going anon

>>1895324
clap for a nigga
Tom Ford

>>1895313
Reminds me EXCLUSIVELY of Ito

>>1894943
Eyes aren't lined up with the rest of the head. The one on our right looks lower, deeper and further from the base of the nose than the one on our left.

>>1894497
For the two figures on the right, the rimlighting doesn't look great, and their faces are lackluster. They also look like their primary light source is in front of them, when the rest of the hanger implies that the lights from above are your primary light sources.

>>1895239
I liked it a lot better in grayscale. If this is supposed to be a night scene and you still want to do it in color, look up Gurney's blog post on how colors appear at night time - it will help you paint a more convincing scene.

Is that an earring on the figure? Is that supposed to be a man or a woman? What I thought was a male figure in a trenchcoat now looks like a middle-aged woman in granny clothes. There are also a lot of whites that are way too bright (hat, collar, and gun). Again, unless you have a strong light source you're not gonna get bright speculars on the gun - use other means to bring attention to it.

small watercolor i did today

>>1895337
good god, i really wish i could do that. fantastic.

>>1895337
really, really lovely.

this shit is killing me >,<

>>1894905
Looks pretty alright so far, but listen to this anon
>>1894923
He had some good points.

>>1895389
cool stuff bro

>>1895389
Damn, bro! Looks gudd! I can see why it's sucking your will to live away, but keep going!

>>1895398
>>1895404
Aye, thanks guys. ill keep at it.
Any critque tho?

>>1895389
very nice.

btw, the tall, thin tower on the left side between the top and middle of the picture kinda looks like a dick

Is it ok to post acrylic paintings on the draw thread?

>>1895424
yes

>>1895389
first time i ever admitted to be jealous on the net.

but im fucking jealous

>>1895427
how do i make this pic more realistic??
i know i need to substitute the outlines with shadows but i feel like it will need something else

pls help =(

Is this interesting as a rough layout?

how do i make this pic more realistic??
i know i need to substitute the outlines with shadows but i feel like it will need something else

pls help =(

>>1895432
push your contrast and vary in hues a little. also imo the shading is too soft but thats just my opinion

>>1895176
even though i have the values right in a portrait, the subject still looks separate to the background. like its 2 flat images

>>1895434
thank you, i think the shading is too soft as well, not that you point it out.

>>1895389
i would be exhausted if i drew that man, good job so far

>>1895344
>>1895381
thanks! heres another one, dont know about her symmetry

>>1895389
i would be exhausted after drawing that, nice work and patience

>>1895344
>>1895381
thanks guys, heres another one, been using tons of wc lately

>>1895333
>>1895333

good points, thanks for comment

Can I get a critique on this painting? I know it's shit but I don't understand how to render stuff like this.

>>1895538

>>1895538
You're currently at my level. Pro tip: give up

>>1895562
You're right. Kind of embarrassed I posted that. Shit.

Also did this one. I think it's slightly better. Thoughts?

dont use a pure white in anything you do, especially on the face. and neutral grays arent pleasing to see either, like on the neck.

other then that i like it.

>>1895389
That's pretty fucking impressive man. Got a place where you post your work?

>>1895538
Anyone else see 2 weird monsters having anal sex or is my mind going crazy?

>>1895616
Fuck now I can't unsee it.

Can I get some help with this? I'm trying to learn rendering.

>>1895691
people like you are beyond my help

>>1895698
I swear to god I'm trying.

>>1895326
Thanks for the heads up, I will fix it asap.

>>1895698
>>1895699
>>1895691
No bro, he literally means you're beyond his help. You just soooo good. Top notch stuff!

>>1895721
Oh, guess I'm a fucking retard.

Anyway, thanks! But still, I feel like the lighting could be more consistent, but I can't pinpoint the problem.

>>1895480
once again, brilliant.

>>1894577
>>1894604

THE HUMAN HEAD IS NOT PERFECTLY SYMMETRIC! EARS ARE NOT THE SAME HEIGHT! LOOK IN THE MIRROR, NOW!

>>1894577
It's ok for the ears to be uneven, the human head is not perfectly symmetric. Look in the mirror and put a ruler in front of your face, you'll see.

>>1895337
Define the arm muscles, especially the shoulder a little more next time, altough i think it is a stylistic choice, so i'm an idiot. Nice work.

Working on this. Got a few ideas on where to take it but holy shit i'm so slow

Batman themed silhouettes

>>1895765
Seriously, the elbows are way too high. His forearms shouldn't be that long, forearms are only about as long as your foot, that looks more like the length of the lower leg.

>>1895771

shit nigga, alright I'll fix it. Is it that distracting? I'm way more worried about other stuff

I'ma act like a bro and share my views on some of the work that hasn't been addressed

>>1895139
I like the character design but not quite sure what's going on in terms of action
>>1895192
I like the simplistic style you got going on
>>1895431
As a composition my eyes go to the ship first and then the big pipes above it that lead my eye to the end of the page. Maybe think more about the composition and what comes second and third in it.
>>1895582
Post ref

>>1895775
Honestly, my eyes go straight to it every time. The way it's composed leads your eye to look at him, and since they're practically in line with his face you notice right away. They need to be lined up below his pecs.

>>1895768
No.
You are wasting time doing that right now

>>1895765

>>1895806

What the fuck

>>1895815
hello ic im new here and i just wanted a hard critique on this image. im trying to fit the perspective outlined but im not sure if the pose/limb length looks right

>>1895820
image & replied to >>1895815 ona accident

>>1895823
what exactly are you looking for in terms of critique

it's not much to go on

>>1895820
>>1895823
>>1895830


i want to know if this looks right given the perspective

>>1895833
forgot image again .oh god

>>1895835
knees and chest look off

>>1895835
Dats way off bro.

>>1895843
thank you ill keep working

I did a thing

I did another thing
Help my face

Did some faces

>>1895395
Eh ya, don't hate on my newgrounds tho.http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1215490/25.. This is my only SciFi project BTW, I try to be very versatile..

>>1895843
does this look better? im going to move her right arm over a bit

>>1895944
jesus christ why do i keep doing this

>>1895949
shoulders appear to be even despite the isometric projection

>>1895949
the entire right (her left) side of her torso needs to be moved up

doing a sketch. darkish gangster interiors are so useful to practice a ton of principles simultaneously. also gotta learn to draw people.

>>1895952
>>1895949
>>1895958

i redid the pose with some reference

does this look acceptible now?

Puttin' On the Ritz - gesture drawings

I should use larger paper, because I always hit the border - that's why some of the Fred Astaires are so heavily cropped - then again the props still work, I guess

>>1896161

drop your tumblr real quick for me to follow you

>>1894694
if you flip too much you get used to both versions and then it won't help you.

>>1896162
heh thanks

http://slothyslothson.tumblr.com/

>>1896163

that is some really good advice

Good artists who use twitch?

painted this Jaime Jones's in oils as a study. Sorry for the poor photo quality and the glaze in the midle, couldnt get a better light angle.

For realsies, can I get some hot opinions on the rendering?

>>1896326
you have some hard edges where they should be soft, like on her right boob and her forearms. There are also no occlusion shadows at creases, and we should probably see a cast shadow under her left boob. Lower legs haven't been rendered, but I assume you just haven't gotten to them yet. The way they're drawn looks kinda off. Maybe brush up on knee anatomy.

>>1895873
I want to draw figures like yours, they really seem like a 3d being on a 2d surface. Where did you learn to make figures like that?

>>1895610
Eh ya, don't hate on my new grounds tho
http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1215490/25..
This is my only SciFi project BTW, I try to be very versatile..

>>1896367
Woah, thanks man.
I studied a lot of Legomans pictures and tried to break down the shapes that he uses and mold them.
But before that I used the anatomy from my books and Hamptons pdf file.

Anything too extremely broken so far before i continue?

I think I unconsciously drew human sadfrog

>>1896377
I could be wrong, but the figures seem a bit elongated to me. Like sort of stretched up and down. But I don't know if my perception is off.

>>1896382

my sides are in orbit

>>1896385
nice meme

>>1895389
everytime I say that i'll start learning and practicing my perspective stuff, never do it in the end. this makes me want to do it now, great job.

do not ask me what this is, I don't know.

>>1896387
This is like some silent hill stuff.
Im spooked

>>1896374
Thanks a ton! Do you have a DA or tumblr I could follow?

>>1896413
I don't actually.
Sorry.

Maybe this will give me a motive to make one

Left or Right?

>>1896444
I like the right

>>1896444
Right is more visually appealing. Left seems like it'd be the more practical pose to take in reality, if you were swinging a sword in the air.

>>1896446
>>1896452
Thanks!

>that feel when you kind of make up muscles but they look alright

>>1896418
I hope so!

Back one more time. I think I'm pretty much done with this? I don't know what to do with the background, I'm thinking about just making it white. I don't know, I always feel like I never know how to fully finish anything. But I think it's turned out nicely, thanks to everyone's help.

>>1896459

Tonight's training

>>1896513
I don't know if I get what you're trying to show, but your head size makes it look way more adult than what I wanted to.

The legs and hips stuff is highly appreciated, though.

Any crits on this before I take it further? If you can't tell, it's going to be a medieval warrior standing on a tall rock looking up at a sky full of clouds.

Pretty typical but I figured I'd go typical before I tried to get complex really.

Still wanted to go from imagination though, I'll use refs for the clouds and armor and anything I feel I need a ref for.

But any crits on composition or w/e would be great

>>1896527
I'm not great on this myself but isn't it generally considered boring or bad composition to have your subject in the center? I think I'd at least have it really close to him with like a worm's eye view or have him slightly to the side.

>>1896510

>>1896549
What the hell??

>>1896517
More training

Different refs used for teeth, air and lightning

>>1896510
>>1896549
>this is my fapping hand

Catchin up on my doge anatomy

>>1896510
Why did you draw it in the first place?

What is this for?

I get if it were some sort of character design or something but it's just some guy waving. Are you planning on making this an avatar for a site or something? Or was this just a 'fun' thing to do?

>>1895702

>>1896665
thats a coyote you tard

Pic sketchy I did based on the doge practice I just did.

>>1896737

Coyotes have much different body structures (also ref was clearly doge, some kind of collie mix).

>>1896675
i feel like the exposed breast make it look like an immature painting and a bit ridiculous. its totally a personal preference tough so ignore it if you want

of these thumbnails, which one is most attractive?

>>1896747
16 with the underboob shot

>>1896747
The first is nice.

Let me welcome errybody to the wile wile west.

I'm at a point where I don't know how to improve upon this. Does anything stand out as really bad?

>>1896769
>her neck

>>1896769
pose feels sorta stiff imo. Also It's pretty muddy, could use more rendering. But i'm a scrub so don't take this advice to seriously.

>>1896675

Firez does a good boob.

>>1896769
sorry this is really rough, but I made a gif with a few suggestions

(mainly colour pallet and character, didn't have time for bg besides I really like the rendering on the building friend)

>>1896769
her eyes looking at the camera like a selfie, her sloppy top looks like u had boobies, but then covered them up, just tried to spice it up a little for ya

>>1896804
on second thought I rushed the feet and may have made them worse lmao. but you kind of get the idea

>>1896805
i like the tiddie idea

sketch

>>1896816
outfit designed by crocs

>>1896818
yep haha :p

It was just meant to be a quick sketch, but oh well...

>>1896829
what's wrong with her face

>>1896805
lmao. nice.

>>1896804
wow, thanks for all that. Did you just adjust color balance to give it that sepia look?

>>1896778
Don't sell yourself short. That's good advice. The rendering was sharper, but I threw on an airbrush layer for atmospheric perspective that was too intense. I toned it down now.

>>1896741

I appreciate the input. I'm definitely not trying to make an overly sexualized/juvenile piece.

I thought the bare chest would accentuate her figure and the storyline I tell to myself as I paint. I also had never painted that part before so I thought it would be a nice practice.

>>1896786
Thanks!

I think I just improved the whole frontal area and finally fixed the far eye/long mouth but at this point I think I will post it again until it's done or make some more considerable changes.

>>1896741
Typical American. Oh shit a boob! Lets raise hell!
>everyone getting murdered horribly
AWESOME!

heres this so far. big panels for a hotel project. done in oils

>>1895918
damn I actually browsed your sketchbook on there earlier this year

>>1896747
no idea what's going on in any of these, do thumbnails with 3 values for background midground foreground, I should be able to read those thumbnails from the 4chan thumbnail

>>1896839
Okay, here's what I did. I changed the head position and neck, since a lot of people have now said it's messed up. I adjusted the breastplate to follow the contour of her chest a little better, and I color balanced a little.

Is it better? Anything else I should be aware of?

>>1896910
not even close to legendary looking

Lines/values.

>>1896910
she looks like an airhead. and she just murdered 4 men for what seems like no reason. she seems like a danger to society and to herself.

>>1896929
maybe my superior rendering skill will save me though?

hehehe...

:(

>>1896933
Unrelated personal project.

Crit on either welcome.

>>1896932
It takes a special kind of girl to go out to fight with nothing but a license plate strapped over her boobs.

And maybe the guys were thieves or something. IDK. But no one said the samurai had to be a good guy.

>>1896933
>>1896936
These are well drawn but the arrangement and values make it very difficult to read. Try taking a look at how someone like Howard Pyle organizes his values and compositions for the clearest simplest read.

>>1896546
I think it's alright in this instance, the comp is balanced well enough

>>1896910
there should be blood on the sword (assuming she stabbed them)

>>1896839
I used selective colour to make it warmer, it looks too bleak considering it's a sunset

>>1896939
>>1896910

You should consider actually studying your subject before drawing it, simply having a sword doesn't make someone a samurai, she just looks like a thug, not trying to bash your work, honestly just do some research first, even good artists need to collect references n shit.

Aside from that, there's no real sense of depth, you should experiment with atmospheric perspective, and I think you should have pushed the gesture of the road more.

Side note: god damn that brushwork looks makes even simple things seem amateur when they shouldn't, a hard round/square brush on the cherry blossoms would look much better, focusing on trying to get chunks of petals with volume rather than using a brush to try showing individual petals.

I maintain that it is a stupid place to put an axe, but I couldn't think of anything else

shes still naked idk

>>1896740
sweet!

>>1896997
roughly what the armor will look like

shameless fanart

>>1895765
don't listen to any critiques about this. this shit is dope. feels like a more indulgent Kyle Staver.

trying out the brushset from the guy/gal in the study thread. probably my first time painting with anything but the standard brush in 3 years. lots of fun!

Crits? First time actually painting with my tablet

Don't be afraid to waste "paint". You are painting digital now.
Big blobs of value first.

She doesn't look like a thug. Her cutesy expression after taking down all those men makes her seem a bit like the cliche psycho character.

Like why is she smiling? also there's no blood so they could be all "knocked out" like those old 80's cartoons.

Not really, just anatomy class, real model, HB pencil only, final destination.

>>1897215
I finnally found a nude model class in New Orleans.
I have been waiting a whole year to see another person naked

statues are fun to study

>>1895289
man, have you made a blog yet? i wish i had somewhere to follow your pieces.

where do your ideas stem from? they are always so unique and creative

>>1897246

you have proportion issues

.

I fucking give up, /ic/, I polished this turd for several hours and got nothing to show for it.

If anyone can tell me why and how i fucked up or a paintover some shit I'd be really grateful.

>>1897267
I fixed some problems, is it better?

>>1894345
Haven't painted in months because of work. So out of practice it's depressing.

>>1897279
You are not using the same values as your reference, don't be afraid of shadows, use the same background color of the photo.

Some people will disagree with me here I think that as long as you're willing to fix your issues and give your best, you're not turd polishing.

At this point If you want to give it another go, I would suggest to convert the reference to grayscale and use said palette to do the study, you will see the values much more clearly

did you forget to take your trip off?

>>1897166
Dude I didn't even make that.

If I were to make that I wouldn't chose the Final Fantasy-esque design with an oversized night blinder as a chest piece, while everyone else in the place has full armor on.

Also
>simply having a sword doesn't make someone a samurai


Yes... but having a sword and armor might raise the chances. Unless you're a weeb who likes to roleplay with friends in samurai armor chances are that they're wearing that because they're samurai.

Regardless I agree with the critique of his technical skill. the image does fall flat because of its lack of atmosphere and depth... and the branches are weird, but I'll chalk that up to it being incomplete.

>>1897279
i stole your reference, half hour in and i got bored ;_;
its like i know if i spent more time it will be a 1:1 copy but usually half hour or 1h in, i get bored..
as for your study
if you started with a drawing just take more time to measure distnaces and whatnot
if you started blocking in colors like i did, well its kinda the same, you just measure the shapes and refine and refine
and about color i cant really help since im still shit
but good luck !

>>1897340
this is so wrong, especially the angle of the head

>>1897281
mouth region below nose, nostrils, right eye bottom lid needs to be thicker from the right.
Above eye brows region has to be thicker from underneath. Render the forehead properly before i can pick anything else.

its close, gj. However, i wouldn't render to perfection since that's not how it should be. Rather than mercilessly rendering it to perfection, instead attempt to make sure you actually learn something from the process.

>>1897333
keep telling yourself that.

>>1897308
it's a wip

>>1897343
I'm just practicing my brushwork, and I still learned some stuff. But the next time I will try to focus less on details. Thanks for the answer

>>1896749
>>1896758
>>1897307

I see >>1896900 point, and think I'll add that to the process. So I'll start with a ideation phase, then move to value comps. I ended up going with 7/8. I'm favoring 8 right now, which value patterns look good to you?

>>1894698
it's a foundation program, most likely they just want to see you're at a teachable level, which seems to be the case.

looking for a certain type of texture, not sure if I have it right yet

trying to make it look like it's been painted on cloth

Tear it apart. What am I doing right?what am I doing wrong?

i lost the reference image bc it was from a library magazine :(

>>1897421
consider loomis

>>1897425
which? fun with a pencil was useless for me.

>>1897421
I actually really like the face
Body needs work, her arm looks like a child's
Moar values to add depth

>>1897425
>>1897426
Vilppu's Drawing Manual was more helpful than Loomis, more so if you actually draw along.

>>1894563
>>1894563
does anyone have an answer for this yet?

Guys it happened again. I can't fucking draw. I can't concentrate or think of anything. its almost a month
help me please holy shit

>>1897481
Draw and paint with reference, it can be relaxing and easy to follow along.

>>1896326
the mons pubis is waaaaay too pronounced

>>1896816
This is good by the way.

>>1897333
Don't worry m8 If he had something worthwhile to say he would had poked holes to my critique, instead of samefagging and retorting to trite comments.

Let's get back to getting gud

>>1897279
I noticed other issues after my comment so I decided to do a paintover, hope you don't mind. It's not perfect but I think it helps.

Besides what I said do a mirror flip of the image, be attentive of the negative spaces and measure your angles, see where they meet, what forms they create, etc... all this will help you to achieve likeness.

Finally try to have a sense of the head structure that way you get more out of these studies and can help you with areas that are hard to re-create with reference alone.

something I'm working on

>>1897524

are my proportions/anatomy right?

>>1897533
no. ugly. Increased contrast doesn't always work in a vacuum, there is WAYY too much cyan in that correction and you have completely changed the pallet. I guess i'm biased since I have synesthesia and cyan hurts me but still. here is another suggestion
(the original had quite a pleasing pallet, but too dark and desaturated. forgivable however since people usually fiddle with saturation in the finished piece and prefer to start with decreased values in fear of having the whites too bright)

>>1897542
try lightening your lineart, might look more inviting/hide chicken scratches. Try a brown

>>1897547

>>1897547
bit of a redline for ya mate
also, hand hide? tsk tsk

>>1897549

>>1897555
