I really like this, with a different palette I suppose I could look like an impressionist piece, the floor of the hut seems odd, like >>1918170 said consider revising the perspective, I wouldn't raise it that much but that's just my gut feeling.


>>1918172
The human figure could use some more work, the mismatching eyes of the one who is holding the ax bother me a bit, otherwise, it looks neat.

>>1918190
>4 anos

En 1er lugar andas horriblemente mal, solo llevo 2 años, (los acabo de cumplir), 2do lugar es solo un wip (lo comence hora y media antes de hacer este hilo)

Por cierto que es naturaleza muerta, yo creo que vos ni con la foto podrías hacer algo así con el tiempo que le he invertido.

Que pases buenas noches...

>>1918195
Firez I thought you'd be Italian because your name reminds me of Firenze. Also you always seem to be doing these renaissance-esque paintings.

>>1918190

que te pasa huevon. calmate. no todos somos iguales, estamos en una situacion different todos nostros. aglunas patas tienen que trabajar, otros se la pasan neeteando (como yo)... etc. no es justo comparar solo los años.

Well, here's the next bit of progress on this.

>>1918242
Too saturated.

>>1918244
Okay, I'll see what I can do, then. Thanks.

>>1918242
This piece shows that you need to read how light and color work, so try studying these things. Also you should use reference for everything, you'll see that trees, rocks, and clothes don't look like that.

>>1918250
Well, this is just a block in, to make sure I get the pose, anatomy, and the gist of the clothes and armor in the places they need to go before I really start working on rendering and color. Pretty much the same with the background. Now that I've decided on which direction the light's gonna come from, more or less, and what time of day it is and all, now I can start making the colors look better and start defining things. I think I still need to make the raised arm a little bigger too, though...
In any case, I appreciate you taking time out to give me feedback.

WIP, wanted to study drapery and use this element with character design

>>1918265

image suffers alot from the specularity of the skin being almost the same as that of the clothing, and both of those being almost the same exact specularity as the armor. it's like the whole figure is a zbrush sculpt rendered in the same material and with the same smooth polished surface.

just like ruanjia overstates edges, sometimes using lasso tool to get the absolute crispest possible edge, you need to overstate material/surface differences in order to achieve an appealing image.

>>1918158
It's not bad, just a tad boring. You could benefit by adding some key lighting.

>>1918158
Just a suggestion bro, I kept the mood and kept it a landscape pic. Texture and comp are awesome, it's just very very muddy.

Thanks, I really didn't think about it. I just didn't want any part of clothes to stand out of the rest and I wanted the character to be distinct from background.

Also it's the 1st time I get that comment about my work, I try to aim to baroque chiaroscuro-heavy ambience. So thanks for letting me know.

>>1918222
No te preocupes, se nota que el tipo ese ni pasa por aquí o es muy malo para contar algo tan sencillo como lo son los años.

>>1918368
The Anon was clearly joking, dude.

s-something like this ...

i'm a new drawer so be gentle..

what do you guys think?

what should i do to improve?
my imagination sucks

>>1918415
>what should i do to improve?
body proportions, anatomy, construction, gesture, perspective, light and shadow principles, then some materials like metal etc.

wot is dis stil3 of ar7

>>1918190
Vete a la verga hijo de puta.

A little sketch from the reference thread.

Anon from previous thread advised to try stronger rim light. It does add to it, so thank you anon.

Updated from the last thread.

Tried to turn down the saturation a tiny bit and lighten up the dark areas. I ditched the trees too. Looking better?

how does color work
how do brushes work
how to rendered study

>>1918454
You could push that rim light a bit more if you add more contrast, I added contrast using levels. You could also add some more specularity as the storm troopers are supposed to be a sort of shiny plastic texture right? and I added some blue in the background to contextualise the rim light a bit.

>>1918461

your shadows not warm enough as the key light seems to be cool. makes it look muddy.

Im working on a piece im wanting to give to my mother for xmas, a kind of family tree type piece with her, my two sisters and I incorporated into the bark some how, however, I'm at a loss on how I could achieve this, any suggestions on how I could place three other faces into this?

Thank you,.

>>1918463
Are you talking about saturation or hue?

>>1918462
and now I know how to add specularity! Thanks a bunch, anon. I'll try it out.

>>1918466
its colour theory. Warm light should produce cool colours and vice versa. The colour would also normally be the light's complimentary colour.

>>1918454

yeah rim light definitely doing gods work there. however the mud oozing out of the narrow crevices and occluded areas is unable to be measured even in cubic kilotons. do you know how the phenomenon of glowing ears when light shines through them works? i forgot it's name (sorry) but i'm sure you know what i mean.

well what causes it is photons bouncing around inside the object, but still making it out and onto your retina. the painting-relevant result is that you get an increase in value, and more importantly, a dramatic increase in saturation.

so when you get surfaces that are very narrowly facing eachother, such as crevices in armor or in your case where the shoulder part connects to the torso, and torso armor faces the bottom of the helmet, a similar effect occurs due to light bouncing back and forth. what does this all mean? you need to saturate those parts. especially when they are of the same muddiness as the dark strip of shadow describing the form of the helmet down the (almost) middle. because this part would NOT get this saturation increase, due to not having a nearby opposing plane from which light could bounce onto.

i bet i'm sounding so incredibly full of myself. thank god for anonimity hahaha

>>1918466

neither... hes talking about temperature

>>1918467
fucking around with the levels really helps if it's starting to feel flat or you feel like the specular highlights aren't giving enough of a bang. You can make the whole thing a bit darker using the levels and then add the highlights after.

>>1918464
reminds me of this.

this sad warrior(war man), remembers the war, and how his comrade died in battle ;_;

>>1918473
BTW(by the way xD), the memory is depicted on the left of the picture, not right

>>1918469
Subsurface-scattering is what you mean i think.

I sorta get what you're trying to say aswell. I'll try it out when i get the chance, so thanks to you aswell anon. The things i've picked up from here, dayumn.

>>1918468
Is it bad that I have no idea about anything that you've just said? Warm as in... warm colors like red, yellow, orange etc? Where can I learn more about this?

>>1918470
Temperature? Do you mean like when you divide the color wheel with a diagonal and form warm-ish and cold-ish colors?

>>1918474
>>1918473
anon your posting style irks me, but that actually looks good and the stick figure in contrast made me chuckle.

Finish it, faggot.

>>1918473
Why is he smiling then?

>>1918480
he also remembers all the good times too, life is beautiful and you should see not only the bad things, but the brighter side too (yolo xD).

>>1918477
Read colour A workshop for artists and designers, it's a very good barebones book on colour theory.

This is the fragment of my current work, what do you think about contrast?

>>1918484
Got a pdf of it?

how is my character design?

>>1918477

>>1918489
nice!, continue!

>>1918489
looks like a dark souls undead

>>1918487
bretty nice

>>1918487

The face should be lighter to draw attention to it

>>1918492
Ok.. looking with the color picker now, think I got the idea.

>>1918498
I would argue the body should be darker for the same reason, but leave the face.
>>1918487
It's very very nice, the rendering is really fantastic and subtle, and the values are great. I feel like darkening the body a bit would add to the composition.

>>1918498
>>1918487
thanks it worked XD!

>>1918502

>>1918493

>>1918484
well?

>>1918512
no sorry, I bought the book, I'd recommend actually collecting a few books, it's much better to have books at hand than PDFs.

>>1918464
just going on with this so far. would love a crit, and for someone who can help with my initial comment. thanks

>>1918265
Damn this is pretty nice. Once you add some particle effects, and listen to what anon-sama said, it's going to be great. Can't wait to see how you handle color on this grayscale image.

i forced myself to continue with this even though i'm busy with exams by cutting up the fruit and by that motivating me to not have a room smelling like rotting fruit.

i'd like to try and force myself to only use one or two brushes on this to get a fairly consistent render style, but i get sick of a brush and then i change. i just need two or three great all purpose brushes

>>1918456
You didn't listen to what I said in any case. The grass is too bright!

>>1918550
I actually did tone down the grass from the other one.

Does this look better? Thanks for the input!

>>1918492

to learn more about color temperature and painting in general, read Alla Prima by richard schmid. One of the best books on painting out there.

>>1918569
How about brushwork?

>>1918579

do studies of artists you admire. Met museum site has a bunch of high res paintings. Heritage auctions is a good resource too.

>>1918492
That looks completely wrong. The original image seems to have a neutral, white light source. Which makes sense because that's what's being used in these model photoshoots all the time.

trying to get back into drawing after an unrelated masters degree, but i find i have to force myself to do it :|

>>1918503
I actually prefer the original to be honest - seems a lot more natural. Either way - nice work!

Worked on these a bit more. Wish I didn't pussy out on going straight to colour - tried to add some with different adjustment layers after the fact but it just looks shit. Next time!

>>1918564
Try exaggerating the change more, make the chest light shine in the darkness.

I didn't get feedback in the sketchbook thread so I thought I'd post it again here. This is definitely not all I got, but I haven't scanned more of my shit and feeling a little lazy about it.
Constructive crit would be super welcome. Or any thoughts at all.

what's your resolution?

d-damn anon i didn't even know that was possible.

>>1918694
How do they look muddy? The shapes and depth are clear even looking at the thumbnails.

>>1918688
Hugely overrated.

>>1918669
I rike the perspective.

especially number 2, top right

>>1918694
agree with >>1918694
They don't look muddy at all. Obviously anon doesn't know what he's talking about.

>>1918700

What? No anon. Stop being such a hipster. I bet your favourite director is Ivgruzkyn van Hyulcjzcivickz. Who nobody has ever fucking heard of and never will.

>>1918699
>>1918704

I don't think so. The values are super logically inconsistant, they barely even read. When did /ic/ become this faggy and soft...

Master study after fojtek wuss

>>1918716

this time i've tried to "feel" it a bit more

>>1918716
>>1918720

my wojtek study is way better than yours

>>1918720

learning a lot

>>1918149

Is this of any worth?

>>1918722

well done man

i'm not on photobash lvl jet

>>1918710
>>1918711
He's right, the only one I can identify by the thumbnail is the first one, only because its super simple, the rest I get no sense of depth or form from the thumbnail (the unexpanded thumbnail, I should be able to get some impression of the image from a thumbnail even that small)

The values seem arbitrary and aren't effected by distance, only lighting so they look flat. This is okay if you have colour, because as I believe it, saturation and colour temperature do a better job of illustrating depth. But as thumbnails they kind f fail becuase the values are too blockly and arbitrary.

It's okay to be negative if you're not being an asshole about it, he wasn't. I'm all for praising people, I think morale is important for learning but I hate when people accuse posters of being negative nancies just for giving critique.

>>1918727

photobash? ima sue you you cunt. i'm a real artist. i even sell prints of this. who the hell are you?

>>1918737

i'm just fujtek fan

sometimes i try to combine two masters. This time fujtek and picasso

>>1918738

i'll try to sell this one to fojtek

>>1918738
>>1918744
idk if you are trolling or something, but these are super quick drawings and you're pushing the image limit, why don't wait until you have like 10 and compile them.

>>1918747

yeah just having some fun :) won't post this shit anymore

take care guys

>>1918736
thumbguy again, so what do I do about it? I'm not entirely sure why they're arbitrary either, I'm not arguing, just want to know.

>>1918736
I still completely disagree, I could tell what every single one of them were from the thumbnail and I feel a very vivid sense of lighting and depth from all of them. I just don't understand a nebulous criticism of the values like saying they "seem arbitrary", everything is arbitrary when you throw a line down on the canvas, and when they're coming together to form an image I can clearly make out, everything works together to me, nothing looks "arbitrary". They certainly don't look muddy, there's a wide range of values in all of them. But at least you explained your critique, the other guy said something nonsensical and backed it up with vagueries like 'logically inconsistent" and a subjective "they barely read", nothing using objective, provable points, and remember he didn't even give THAT much info at first, just said "they're muddy" which is like saying "this sucks". It lacks info and therefore isn't an actual critique. He was just talking to talk.

>>1918752
>just said "they're muddy" which is like saying "this sucks". It lacks info and therefore isn't an actual critique. He was just talking to talk.
idk man, if someone told me my painting was muddy, I'd kind of know where to look to fix it and ask for more information if I needed it. Anyway obviously you like it, but they're not appealing to me at all.
>>1918751
I'm kind of tired because it's late so I can't really explain myself, but I used lighting and value to try and describe depth and space. I didn't tough the second one becuase, I mean guess for what it was it's okay but I wasn't sure what I could do with it.

I added a directional light in the first one becuase it really should be there anyway, but it also adds depth to the windows, they don't just look like black squares in perspective.

In the third one I made it lighter in the distance, you will notices that this adds a much greater sense of depth than just having the lines recede.

In teh fourth one I used the same login in making the background lighter and the shelves out of focus, because they are unimportant to the composition and only distract in the thumbnail. it';s great that they are there but they shouldn't be so prominent. and I darkened the two girls to show that they are in the foreground. yes foreground objects can be light but this is a good way of establishing easily readable depth in the thumbnail phase.

>>1918760
Excuse the incessant typos, I'm tired.

>>1918736
Yeah but what you're describing is not "muddy" Muddiness happens when many unclear tones or colors are used that become unclear and dirty/muddy looking. Again I'll repeat, you don't know what you're talking about.
It needs a lot of work and I'm not being soft I was just calling you out on your wrong terminology.

>>1918764
fine but I'm not even the guy who called it muddy. In a way I would say it's muddy in the sense that it uses values that un-unify the whole thing, I'm kind of reaching just to justify the other guy, I'd never use the word muddy personally but I can see where he's coming from.

>>1918760
Saying something is muddy doesn't give much to go on. It could be that the colors are too grayed out or desaturated or too similar across the piece, it could be the values are too close all around, it could even mean the gestures aren't clear. In this case though the guy said the values were muddy, which I think most would take to mean they were too similar all around, which is easy enough to see is not the case, so it's kind of moot. I just want to make it clear I wasn't try to hugbox but I don't see any validity to that guy's criticsm. Anyway the changes you made seem to work too, although it looks like you lit it for day, and admittedly I was picture most of these as night or evening so they seemed to work to me. I'm not saying you shouldn't crit the thumbs, I think it's great that you're giving actual info, but you accused me of dismissing the other comment for no reason, I just wanted to explain my reasons.

>>1918760
fair enough, thank you.

>>1918726
Keep going. Looks decent so far.

too much ?

>>1918785
I like where it is around him, but there's too much in the viewer's way.

>>1918785

right. i think those petals (or whatever it is) detract from the image.

>>1918785
The rendering and color choice in this is so nice, but his pose and expression are killing me. I wish I could explain what it is about them but I can't seem to articulate it. That's probably pretty useless to you, but I at least wanted to comment on the rendering.

>>1918726
Distal limbs are lookin a bit thick but I'm liking it

the quality got fucked but maybe you could make him a bit more slender. he looks pretty fat.

just my take on it, but his torso is going upwards so his rib cage should be more marked, he looks like a body bulder with giant abdominos here.

I want to make some quality punpun fanart someday.

Ok,I really want to dig into realistic painting just as Ricardo Federecci and Scott Wadell .
But I find it hard to mix colors and to create the shadows (both core and cast shadows).
Are shadows more saturated than the middle tones?
Any tips with the colors or about this kind of process?

>>1918823
>Are shadows more saturated than the middle tones?

not necessarily. there is no applicable general rules when it comes to how light works, it's very complex sadly.

>Any tips with the colors or about this kind of process?

paint a fuckton, and fail a lot. in order to build this experience and mileage it helps to have a workflow that doesn't tie you down. paint very opaquely, be economical with your brushstrokes, don't noodle around and most importantly always simplify. build the form efficiently, and accurately. don't overcomplexify and render the crap out of stuff if you aren't getting paid for it, because learning wise you will be wasting your time.

I smell sarcassim

I want to improve upon this lizard. How do you think I should go about it?

>>1918149

i know this is gonna get me crucified but i'm so incredibly proud of this one... and at the same time so scared of overworking it.

from imagination. Mistakes? Advice?

>>1918957

maybe start adding variation in the edges? i think the forms do sort of read but you are probably doing yourself a disservice by trying to describe even smaller plane-changes instead of sticking to the landmark-planes. since you are working opaquely (with the added difficulty of color ontop) i think it would be better to start very simple, with a very primitive shape looking head, and then gradually add forms.

i can see that you were already thinking of planes and their angle to the lightsource, it definitely shows, but a more controlled systematic process would benefit you. i think. i suck at anatomy though, just my two cents.

Just a study. It's been awhile since I've drawn or painted anything. I know the jaw and teeth are off, among other things, but was mostly practicing shading and lighting.

>>1918963
I see what you mean. I really need to improve my edge work among other things.

>>1918948
All of your contours are too uniformly crisp. Get some edge variety in there. It goes a long way towards believably integrated an object into an environment.

studyy

I always get to this stage a where I just block in basic shadows super lightly and then completely fuck the rest of the shading. Do you guys have any tips on bringing out the form from here?

>>1919040
I hope you're doing non-timed studies as well if you can't draw the feet/hands in your 2min studies. Definitely shouldn't avoid those.

Especially if you're going to bother drawing the fucking breasts, which is a superficial detail for these studies. Set better priorities.

I don't have much criticism but I definitely like them. I think they look pretty loose and pretty. Makes me wanna grab some colored pencils.

Are these from photos? I feel like that first one would be uncomfortable for the neck for too long.

How long did you spend on them?

I'd love to see a website btw.

I took a break from working on that Impa painting to do some cartoony stuff and practice digital sketching. Hopefully I can start making my paintings more dynamic by getting the hang of just generally drawing digitally.

Top right's great

this is boatman, still working on him.

>>1919108
Well, the thumbnail looks great at least...

You might not want to use that brush for rounded, smooth surfaces. Use a soft/hard circle/oval brush instead, and go large>small

>>1918785
>>1918790
I agree, and it's because it's not dynamic. There's no movement, no direction. How did he get to be in that position? What is he doing, where is he going? It doesan't read in the picture at all

>>1919092
Thanks! I used erasable blue and red "checking" pencils btw.
They're all from photos. Sometimes I use photo refs just to avoid sameface by picking out elements of the face and running with them. So it doesn't necessarily end up being a study of the photographed face. First one was pretty faithful to the real person's face, though.

I think I spent about 15 minutes tops on each. I was planning on making a Tumblr page once I scan some more drawings.

I'm going crazy, today is a bad day I've ruined a drawing with wrong inking and now I have this drawing that not convice me at all, there is a mistake or something that doesn't work but I don't find that. Help!

skin is very muddy. and be careful of overrendering. it has a lot of potential though.

biggest issue however i think is the fact that not 1 hand is visible. so the pose is completely boring and wonky. what is she doing? why is she standing so oddly? you always want to show atleast 1 hand to indicate some sort of action that allows the viewer to understand and feel the pose.

>>1919393
She's going to be a vampire eventually, so that's kind of the point.

>>1919397
Thanks mate, i'll do something about the hands and muddiness

Thanks.

Taking it to finish, any critique?

>>1919409
The skulls turn me off completely. I would prefer them being a bit more realistic.

Other than that it looks pretty good, anon. No more crit from my filthy ass on this one.

>>1919412
Whaaaa? The skulls are the best part!
No crits.

what do yo think?

>>1919412
thanks, i made them look like that deliberately as a style to propose for mobile game art directors, for portfolio.

>>1919421
It's just a matter of taste really, they're not bad at all, they just dont speak to me in any way. If you like them, more power to you, mate.

studying part of some of dat dere... i think its brangwyn.

my plan is to blow the image up when i have a solid block-in, and try to render the absolute crap out of every surface. inspired by those jaime boog hands.

>>1919409

i think the skulls are awesome in their funny simplicity. but they could use a slightly cleaner rendering, just to kinda have a little beacon of tightness in every character. hope you get what i mean. love the simple strokes btw, you make it look so easy.

trying to do subtle steampunk without being generic is practically impossible.

More cogs and blast googles

reality!

>>1919233
Yup, it already adds to it.

>>1919420
Looks great, just that left hand is an abomination though. Is it a study?

I enjoy doing studies but i don't feel like I'm learning much. Is there anything specific I should study?

>>1919440
my my, look at how unbalanced that pose is, it seems as if he.s going to teeter over. & don.t even get me started on the terrible brushwork and the clothing, the coat resembles a stiff square and the buttons are on a different plane.

steampunk is vile to begin with, and needs to be wiped out of existence. you have created a generic pile of shit, congratulations

>>1919511

this scene. try to be hyper economical. 1 plane, 1 stroke.

>>1919522
Alright I'll give it a shot. Thanks.

I feel like I don't get time to do productive work, despite me having hours of free time on my hands everyday.
I feel like I'm lacking in something, be it skill or time, anyone feel the same?

>>1919521
calm down, it's a clothing study.

>>1919440
just bring that right leg facing us outward to fix his center of gravity. As for design, try to reflect his personality with his clothes. Right now I'm getting nothing from him.

His right shoulder looks fucked, his left hand makes no sense, and if that's Travis, he looks too much like a woman. Cool style though.

>>1919753
Thanks. I really have to learn to draw hands and get on anatomy. The woman thing was me trying to make it a bit JoJo-styled.

>>1919750
am I really that ugly?

The light from the window wouldn't hit the side of his face and the candle light would be that strong or hit the underside of his sleeve. The cigarette smoke is too large, and i don't know what light is hitting the top of the breif case/ash tray.

damn thats real good then man. badass

it looks like her skin is made of scales and/or diamond... I don't know if it is supposed tobe that way. the eyebrows are a little high.

>>1919852
everything to the left looks good.

>>1919042
>drawing the fucking breasts
dont you like boobs anon?

but yea i have become really slow
gotta get back on track

still working on this, trying to make her clothing a little bit more fantasy than generic elf clothing. Might change the santa hat to match a little better later

>>1919042
Breasts are actually a way for the artist to help find the proportions of the torso more easily, they are definitely not superficial detail. Not sure if you are just a noob or what, but hands and feet are almost always only indicated in gesture drawing or even quick figure drawings, because that IS superficial detail at that point and they do not influence the gesture in any way.

I really hope you stop trying to give "advice" to other beginners like yourself when you know so little about the topic you are trying to talk about.

>>1919946
>>1919954
Damn it, I need to get back into life drawing.

I don't want to make any drastic changes in this painting , since my teacher said it was ok (and i need this done by the afternoon)
But she said i needed to lower the whites on the crystal glass , the problem is that the light is the same as in my reference picture , how do i do that ?

>>1919958
darken the whites but also darken the surrounding colours

rate, hate and elaborate

>>1919958
it helps if you post your reference

>>1919958
It may just be the glare from the photograph you have taken but I would like to say this:
In general all of your whites are very blown out, I took the image into photoshop and using the colour picker the tablecloth and the book paper are both reading 240+ on the brightness, that's almost pure white.
darken your whites all over for the most part, your lightsource is on the right of the image, and yet the tablecloth in the shadow of the rose is actually brigher than the table cloth to the right of it, where your lightsource is coming from.

Secondly, mass your values. That is to say, the greatest contrast should be in the area of your focal point, so decide where that is and apply it.

That said, the image is by no means bad, it is pretty good! It could just be better if you controlled your light areas a bit more :)

First post here, I draw in my spare time when I'm not busting my 50 hour a week job. Started learning a lot more about how I draw over the last year, but it would be nice to get some feedback. It's done with Micron pens on A3 paper (In progress) No art in school or anything, just picked always liked drawing I guess. Also sorry for phone quality

>>1920026
practice drawing before you jump right into paint.

>>1919511
based on that drawing, how about occlusion shadows.

>>1919786
i've complimented your work on a few different occasions, but man...
i want you to know how brilliant you are, and how enamored i am with your work. i wish that i could follow it somewhere, instead of resorting to saving them all like an obsessive compulsive stalker.

>mfw no one will ever save my drawings

>>1919958
Looking great since the last time. You gon add the red specularity to the book?

>>1919946
gestures look decent, but that's pretty little for 20 mins. You should at least do the shadows.

>>1919950
The pose is really boring though, anon.

>>1920102
Is this some progressive art shit I don't get?

Not really, but drawing makes me feel better. It also makes me feel better that I don't have to be a cunt to other people with no reason lol

>>1920198
that was a bit touchy. I know it's repetitive but dude, it's what I like to draw.

How do I improve my still life

Did a couple of weeks ago but didn't bother fixing shit to make it look recognisable at all. Should I just redo?

What is it supposed to be? I can't understand this at all

>>1920316

Here's the ref

HELP I dont understand values (and a lot of other things)

>>1920322
You aren't learning anything from this. Get a useful subject and reference next time.

Is there anything outstandingly wrong with this? I'm satisfied with how it came out but I've learned never to be completely satisfied. Help me improve, /ic/. I want to make comics in the future.

>>1920346
DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO! YOU'RE NOT MY MOM!!!

working on something kinda surrealist, i admire surreal paintings and artists, however ive never actually attempted one myself, how is it going thus far?

>>1920357
i actually painted scenes from video games too as a side project. heres banjo tooie. so scenic!

i got bored of drawing faces and butchering them so i butchered some other things

http://i.imgur.com/n5QkMg3.jpg

>>1920084
Did you do ARCHITECTS patternwork? Looks like the same style.

Also that is really autistic, in the good way. I like it.

>>1920356
Having a soft fill light would add to it. The rim light looks a little too angled compared to the light source as well.

Comic artistry is hard shit bro. That's a lot you gotta know, from panelling, to composition and even story, regardless if you're writing it or not.

>>1920457
Her right eye is too high, her left arm looks weirdly twisted. Your muscles are wrong there. Your left leg looks a tad too short.

Nice to see how it's progressed though.

>>1919765
oh gosh i would let you put your pee pee in my no-no area

>>1920358
Just keep in mind surrealism has an underlying message, while not relying on physical constraints to depict it.

I see you have something you're trying to show, but, it's not really all that interesting yet. Perhaps you could benefit from better composition.

>>1920483
thank you for your input. I think the initial sketch i have here is not showing all the details i will ut into it eventually, Ill mess around with the composition a bit more on your recommendation.

Alkthough Im a bit far from it at the moment, what would /ic/ suggest for a color pallet?

Tfw you just wanted to draw a simple pantyshot but you tried to work out anatomy using 'knowledge' and not refs for once, and instead get a mass of cubist squiggles.

Posted wrong pic before!
Trying to use less refs and more construction lines to figure stuff out but I think I'm missing huge chunks of person.

First time drawing a male character.
Any advice would be very appreciated!

>>1920445
Man, holy fuck, I was sitting here looking at this painting and thinking "what fucked up shit is this scenario?"
"low poly ps1 graphics?"
"no... more like ps2? Definitely more like ps1 but not quite..."
"hmmm n64, I could settle for n64".

Then I scrolled up, saw the guy you were replying to, and finally I was brought back to your post and read the description of the painting: Banjo tooie scenario. Never played this shit, but the style forced by the graphics were still pretty recognizable.
I still hate it. Good job.

>>1920501
Sorry for the giant size btw

This really reminds me of a tumblrfamous artist that draws lots of guys, so very male there!

>>1920511
That is a good start then! Thanks!

>>1920510
I hope that this would do, my fetish friend!

>>1920516
That 'll do Dereri

Well firstly that pose wpuldnt make sense, unless she's also being hung by the neck at the same time. The perspective on the vagina is off, and the thighs just look wrong.

I'd redline it for you but I'm on mobile.

>>1920300
>Do more of them

>>1920474
A soft fill light? It's shameful to ask, but could you explain what you mean and how I add it in? I agree that the rim light is not angled correctly compared to the light source.

I've actually made plenty of my own personal comics in the past, paneling and story honestly aren't very big issues for me. But I do feel the need to work on composition and my art in general. Obviously, or else I wouldn't be posting here. Anything to assist me with either of those two would be greatly appreciated.

My Transformers donut steel Just finished the lines for his robot mode. What Im actually having the most trouble with is a name - Im completely stumped. If any of you guys have good ideas, one syllable would be preferable but at this point I'd consider any good option.

how the fuck do people get clean values with opacity on pen pressure? i'm going to fucking commit sudoku god dammit i suck so much

>>1920697
its really kiddy looking though.

>>1920599
There is really no shame in asking. It's a good attitude to ask. Better than staying in ignorance.

Well not considering the context of your shot, a fill light would just basically light up the darker parts. It's like the opposite of the rim light, and usually placed as such. A rim light would accentuate the form and figure, and the fill light would show the details.

It doesn't have to be too bright even, but just so it looks less like a silhouette. Unless that's really what you're going for. Which of course goes down to context.

>>1920712
Practice of course. Getting to know how to control and work with your tools and finding the tight settings.

I could do it a little before, until i lost my brush setups and can't seem to get it to feel right since.

>>1919768
Get rid of the penor you faggot. Would be a real hot short hair chick piece and I love short haired chicks.
