slight edits. crit welcome. its called Adam's Apple

>>2184079
reposting from end of last thread. Looking for crits.

>>2184079

First digital, crits welcome.

>>2184095
profile of the face looks sort of wacky, study some references and fix it. i'd focus specifically on the nose, chin, and brow, and how far out those extend in relation to one another

did you use a reference for the pose? the head is also a bit small, and the arms are short and stumpy. a figure should be around ~7-8 heads tall, and the elbow should roughly hit the waist and the wrist at the crotch.

right arm seems a bit strange and out of perspective, and the left leg has a strange bend to it at the calf.

i would highly recommend looking through and studying this thread >>2179014

>>2184095
gay/10

>>2184105
be nice, asshole. we're all learning here

>>2184103
Not much to say since it is your first digital so you don't know how to use digital tools yet. I recommend doing some studies (photo or mastercopy) just to get used to how to paint digitally.

>>2184103
yeah and why are the hills burning?

>>2184095
you are putting alot in the way of one of the most fun features to look at. why?

>>2184118
she needs all those butt knives, man.

>>2184103
>>2184108
>>2184110

Ref here. I fucking love painting forest fire.

>>2184110
I sigh at the gorgeousness of this picture.

>>2184125
Ah, I thought you did it from your head. Right off the bat I can see your values are way off, you have things too light. But I think you should use a different type of photo to study from. Try to get something with some clear forms and shapes in it so you can practice different edges, transitions etc. The image you posted is a little advanced for you because it has a lot of abstract qualities to it as well as some complex edges and subtle shapes.

>>2184110
Could you tell me the artist of this please?

Trying acrylics

please critique me

>>2184104
Thanks for the crits, it's been deceptively difficult finding a reference for that arm motion, closest I could get was drawing a gun or a knife from a holster.

>>2184118
character's job, mang.

WIP as fuck

>>2184171
Haven't you been doing that same painting for months? Or was it another that looked similar? What's your finished work like?

actually considering if i might have autism

>>2184205
haha HOLY SHIT THATS TERRIBLE

>>2184179

>>2184219
what is terrible about it?

iunno..

>>2184246
second shit of the day..

caricature of a nerd

I like doing this kind of shit

Checked out a gesture drawing website today cause its been too long since I've done it. Used a site caled quick poses and I was somewhat happy with their collection of photos. I thought the photos had a lot of energy but you begin to see the same pose over and over after a few photos. Another thing I noticed was the poses were in general very simple. I would have liked more of a challenge but overall I'm not too displeased. If anyone knows of any better sites I'd like to check them out. I did this drawing in under a minute for those curious

>>2184205
next level beginner thread go read the sticky. go watch a tutorial. go shank your ma

>>2184205
Now thats what i call shit
fuck reading the sticky, go back to your 3rd grade art class.

something im working towards.

>>2184138
boring character design then man. why not have that belt put over the sholders and around the back, then the strap can also act as a boob seperator, for further viewing pleasure.

OP pic is a bait for beginers or what?

>>2184285
why would you put a penis on her

>>2184339
lol didn't even notice

Warming up for today. Don't even care about deformed ear.

>>2184382
Stop drawing bears

>>2184382
I thought you wanted to do something different, step out of your fucking comfort zone

>>2184429
>>2184432

Why would I stop it, if I finally need to use it? I've been working on it a year, finally getting it the way I like it.

But here's something that helps me with bears.

newbie here, how do i do the grass?

I posted this in the self-promotion thread, seeing as it's the most recent thing I've drawn. I wanted to make up a figure sitting in a chair with a flaming skull, so any critique is helpful.

Thanks anons

>>2184364
Things to consider next time:
- cut light (like that blue or orange outlines) should not be the same witdh nor that saturated, it has to be closer to local color
- you can put a wood fire that makes a secondary light source, it would be for sure the main light source, and it's not contrasted enough
blonde girl skin is yellow
sword emits light that affects nothing
too much detail on the background but it's till horrific
both girls have same mouths, and same 3/4 position, they're like big dolls
you almost don't play with line weights

scene poses is weird, its like you ripped off two different pinup girls together to fit that way

>>2184364
Girl A has one arm clipping through Girl B's neck, and another arm clipping through Girl B's butt and thigh.

Why are the orange lights as dark as your core shadows? Lights are additive, meaning the lit areas must be lighter than what a given lit plane would be if that light source weren't there. An added light source in the scene can never make something darker.

Your poses have no passion. Study body language more instead of relying on superimposing two separate pin-up poses and calling it a day.

>>2184478
I think it's a good start. Your problem now is too much gray everywhere, clean up values and go more heavier on whites. You might want to check that left leg again too.

More guys from this great era.

>>2184246

does this help at all?

gonna render rest like face, will focus details on face and hands only, everything else will be economiced, any suggestion?
pic is a detail of current wip

>>2184559
I really want crits on this, anything, still hadn't any :L

>>2184564
Yeah sorry to say that it's at that point where it's just sort of boring so doesn't get praise, but not bad enough to warrant a ton of criticism either.

I would get more reference and try to use that to bring in some more interesting lighting and colour as right now it is very monochromatic. Look at people who handled similar scenarios like Frazetta and various Orientalists.

>>2184559
Learn where the eyebrows start

>>2184519
yes, this helps a fair bit. thank you kind anon

>>2184079
How many drawings do you complete a week? Talking about ones you put effort in.

>>2184609
This question applies to everyone here

>>2184609
Wrong thread. And what do you mean complete? I can complete a sketch in 30 minutes or complete an illustration in a couple days. There's no real answer to this question.

DRINKIN AND DRAWIN!

>>2184619
You just answered the question.

On vacation no computer here, how can I make this design good? I don't like it and I don't know why, it's for that monthly character design challenge.

Testt

>>2184634
dark souls smough

>>2184079

guys it's over. i'm officially switching to casual games. this shit is so much more fun. even if it's just stupid pots.

>>2184655
Clean up the shapes man, the silhouettes are all choppy. Either get some smooth curves or simplify it into longer straight lines. And be careful of the perspective too, the ellipses are all off. Would be good also to get some reference on materials so you can convey if the pots are glazed or have any special properties to them.

>>2184285
Wow, pretty ni... Something wrong with her leg...

Fix it!

From last thread

Any advice on the woman's body? I
know the face is trash right now. I'm trying to make her riding/swiming along with the shark and I want her to look fluid and kind of effortless.

Also its on tracing paper so not the greatest photo

>>2184329
cool

Sharing my work for the day.

Trying to be a bit looser and more painterly, not sure I really achieved it.

>>2184079
well this didn't work at all. should i ignore digital for a while and get good at water color? will this help somehow?

>>2184829
Help with what aspect of your art? What are your goals?

>>2184859
Lay off things like colour dodge or hard light or whatever blending mode you are using. You are blowing out your lights, oversaturating things, and making strange colours. Also be careful of the rimlight being a line, think of it more as a plane that is lit and viewed at an angle.

How do you like this painting im doing? gonna add some clouds and detailing on the castle later

>>2184867
this is what it was like when i realized it was too lame/boring to render so i fucked with it a bunch
other version way better imo

>>2184883
wow, this is good work.

>>2184880
use less paint, learn perspective. it isn't very good.

>>2184883
This version looks way better. The other looks boring and generic as fuck. There's a lot more visual interest in this one because you haven't drowned it in a sea of black and dodge.

You're free to like the other one better, but you shouldn't.

>>2184883
Miles better, still kinda blown out like the first anon said, but nowhere near as terrible as the other. Nose could use less red, collar should be a little (not too much) more defined.

>>2184880
ay lemo

>>2184888
Less paint, like do you mean literally less amounts of paint or what do you mean? Because i didnt use that much, its not many layers. The perspective is pretty shite yeah, im still new and i have lots to learn

>>2184917
are you even trying to learn something with that (conciously)? serious question

>>2184883
Nah this version is better than the weird one. But yeah it's a bit boring like you say. Why not try to add interest to it through some other means than weird colours? Like maybe give him a crown with interesting designs and metals and jewels. Or some graphic pattern on his collar. Or maybe he is sick with some plague that gives him boils that ooze pus. I dunno, try to imagine him as a person with a standing in society and story to him, how can you then show this?

>>2184919
Man this place is always filled with assholes, im trying to learn, but i dont understand how you mean less paint. Do you mean a thinner layer on the canvas? Because there are limits to how much i can spread the paint, maybe because its bad acrylic paint, maybe because i dont use enough water i dont know, but i cant spread the paint much more than i've done. Im just looking for critiscm and i will gladly accept it and try to use it for bettering my paintings so please do enlighten me.

>>2184925
I was not the guy about the painting, and he didn't refer to the ammount of paint you were using, nobody is refering about how you use the procedure

you're drawing is so wrong in the first place, you're not thinking about any fundamental at all, colors are even raw from the tube

I don't want to discourage you at all
consider my question again, what were you trying to learn with that, if you don't have an answer yet it means it won't help you at all to become better

Does the hair look weird? I was just doing it quick to kinda experiment with a brush... I'm going to redo it again but take more time. In the reference, it is pretty much all black until it goes towards the roots. Should I stay true to the ref or make it a little lighter so it fits in with the face?

>>2184831
learn to render

>>2184957
It looks kinda weird to the right. Do you have the ref? Maybe we could see the differences more clearly

im thinking of doing an owl themed superhero type guy, and i was wondering what you guys would suggest in terms of colors, costume etc.

>>2184103
>azerty

are you french?

>>2184364
where is your light?

>>2184940
I've never really rendered before, because i've always just drawn on paper with pen, so im trying to make the colours more interesting and figure out how they work. I think i need many more different mixes of colours in ranges but i dont yet understand the mixing completely.

>>2184364
people can tear something apart the more effort it has into it lel, dont get discouraged, more negatives come wit more postitives

>>2184454
this is not art man

>>2184079
Idk. Neck's probably too long and idk how to draw hair... or anything for that matter. No reference used.

Is this done, or does the sketchiness feel lazy?

sorry for crap scan

>>2185062
It's done until you think it's done.

>>2185056
Personally I'd make the neck a little shorter and widen her shoulders somewhat. Maybe thin her neck out, too, but that could just look odd due to the thin shoulders.

It's not awful, mind, but there's certainly some issues concerning those proportions.

Posted an earlier version of this a few draw threads ago but didn't get any feedback. Any thoughts on it?

>>2185062
It feels lazy. Keep going. I think it will look nice if you render the whole thing and not just stop here.

>>2184921
I see what you mean. How is this one looking so far?

>>2185101
crit on this comp would be nice too before I end up wasting my time

>>2185079
Needs more greebles and minor details to push the scale. Look at Sparth's and Liberto's work on Halo 4, that should give you an idea. Lighting is also very important to make it look huge.

>>2185101
I'm not sure what leg is taking the weight in this one so she's standing a bit awkwardly. Also if these are going to be heads chopped off from bodies or something then might be better to position them lower, and have one on it's side to show the flesh sagging.

>>2185104
Odin? I like the comp, character at front left is a bit large or close to Odin though, maybe bring him closer to camera or further left to fix the scale. Keep it up anon.

>>2185107
I see what you mean about the feet she's suppose to be floating and her minions are beneath her. I think I might try the frazetta bone mound thing though.
I was thinking he was some sort of viking leader and the dude in front is shocked to see his dead friend or something. I see what you mean by the scale thing.
thanks for crits

>>2185107
does this make more sense?

>>2185131
Her legs are odd, like they just go into a triangle? And the thighs seem disproportionately large, then you change it to a triangle shape right at the knees so it is a bit hard to tell how it sits in space. The arm on the left isn't clear either.

I think the whole thing is a bit boring though, just a central figure with a vignette. If she's floating it would be cooler to see her up above and we look up at her (so she is foreshortened a bit). And maybe try to have a nice cool abstract value read rather than just making the edges dark, it's a lazy solution for composition.

>>2185139
just a thumb so I didn't add the feet yet. the thigh/waist ratio is more a fetish thing than anything tbh. Yea the arm needs a lot of work.
Initially the viewer was going to be looking up at her but it was too difficult. Gonna have to break down and look at ref I guess.

Painting

Been trying to get faces right but I'm still working on basics and I'm also looking for some help. Any critiques?

>>2185200
Sorry bout that lol

>>2184095
Update.

i dont know what this is or what its supposed to be

>>2185078
Idk. I was putting thin shoulders on purpose to give her a cuter style? I'm not going to adjust anything as I'm just drawing random stuff, but I'll be sure to improve on that in the future. I'm just starting out, so I'm sure I'll improve a lot.

>>2184079

>>2184226
neat

>>2184282
I like the angle and the style, pretty cool stuff

>>2185347

pretty good, I love isometric stuff. I'd keep an eye on the textures

just finished this one.

>>2185403
The perspective on the skull is a little off

I don't have a tablet, this shit took forever

>>2185403
Why does every little thing need its own highlight man
If I squeeze her hard enough it feels like she'd pop

>>2185431
she's an oily succubus that has the light source coming from beneath. also I can git gud at soft shading.

>>2185433
can't*
worst spelling mistake yet.

study that i got too lazy to finish
>>2185104
i mean you probably want to add a background and foreground. they're still really important to your comp. also i wouldnt end the landmass at the bottom left corner, it creates a tangent with the frame
>>2185131
this is looking nice though. try not to glaze gradients/ airbrush over the entire thing, it tend to make the whole thing way softer than you'd like it. for the background it's whatever but detail out and push more contrasts for the focal point so you don't look like some deviantart abomination from the '05. also one thing i think you may be doing is that you're adding pretty arbitrary colours without a clear system. a good way to introduce color variation is by adding different light sources, like maybe the bounced light could be cooler teal to contrast your warmer yellow key light, or even just doing research on how materials act according to light. just remember you can only draw what you know and what you see, and im assuming most of this is from imagination. some reading on lighting really helps!

meeeeh

>>2185288
all that wasted real estate.
you should have put the tool belt some where else.

>>2185483
"Ugh, stop drawing and painting only hot women, what is the problem with /ic/, the taste is gone"
And then someone hides an ass and it is a problem, has been said about that pic like 5 times. People IRL tend to hide their asses yes, and sometimes have stuff hanging infront of it, it happens, stop these shenanigans.

I get what you were going for, but regardless the thickness of the neck makes the shoulders look very disproportionate.

I take it you're going for something manga related, right? I'll try and do a quick redline of how I'd do it. New to my tablet, though, so it may end up looking bad >_>

>>2185056
There's probably stuff wrong with this, but it should give you an idea of what I mean.

Personally I think the shoulders just need raising and widening a smidge.

>>2185493
>how does she sit down anon
>how.
>it is not practical.
>at all.
>IRL
its just bad character design.

>>2185528
>how does she sit
im crying to this

>>2185528
Good point, didn't think of that, but the anon i replied to didn't say that, his "crit" was something different entirely.

Her arms are too big for a woman. I mean ive seen women with big arms, but those had fat on them. Plus, like another anon said, she can't sit. Design is a big part of character design...

I understand that sitting is a problem when the belt is equipped in this way, but have any of you ever worn a toolbelt that sits behind you?

You take it off when you're not working, and you can sit down just fine if there's a bench or some non-backed seating.

I do appreciate the comments though.

>>2184731
This is fantastic, anon.

More Harrison, I kinda like his profile.

going to be kinda funny

>>2186144
thank you ! although (I think i already said to someone here) i don't know if really is a style. i mean, its more like a trick, i draw somethings then copy them holding shift and dragging them aroud, then i fix some details.

>>2186202
This looks pretty dark, are you sure there are no higher values in there? I would expect at bare minimum some of the reflections on the glass would be a high key note, and probably a few other places in the painting depending on materials and local values.

any recommendations for perspective vids/classes/books? I've read the basic tutorials everyone knows I just can't seem to see these fucking errors until it's too late even on studies like this

>>2186346
How to draw by scott robertson is all you need, along with a lot of practice.

Also, use the question thread next time faggot

>>2186350
I was hoping for critique on the study while I was at it.

A quick landscape, testing out some more "painterly" brushes i made.
no ref

>>2172902

mmm, first time I walked into Anor Londo I wept

>>2186387
Nice colours and reflections on the water. Composition is a bit bland though and doesn't have a solid focal point, and the rock pillars don't make much sense and can't get away with "cool factor".

Did you sharpen your image? Might have overdone it. I think you could do with some softer edges.

i made this into a painting

>>2186387
What's with all the retarded rainbow colors where they don't belong?

Your ridiculous "underpainting" colors don't make it look more cool.

>>2186425
yea it does

It would be dreadfully boring without those colour shifts. And I think he handled it pretty well, it's not as heavy handed as you imply.

thats a jew belt, "extra options for your 3 different jew hammers" that will be 300 bucks please.
not one tradie actually wears that shit. chippies are the only guys on sights that actually wear a tool belt, everyone else just used a tool box or tray on their car.

and to take off the belt throughout the day is impractical. and in the end. BAD DESIGN.

just redraw the fucking picture you little bitch.

>>2186552

>>2186518
Only one thing, there is a foldline going from her own left boob to somewhere right in the middle of her right one. Would work if her left shoulder was higher than her right (and the boobs were not "horizontal") but since her shoulders are simply square it gives a weird impression, like one boob being much smaller, non-existent or lower. Just take that line up a little and you should be fine.

Can't point it for you because no tablet, sorry. Hope I made myself clear.

>>2185999
Like what you did on the coffee pot. I have the exact same one, so I might just go ahead and use my own for practice.

I like the buildings the best, but the perspective on the steeples is messed up. The marks on the bricks and shingles are cool but the cross hatching looks flat. The fly looks like ass but I think it has the most potential. (organic shapes + expressive pattern, basically find a nice balance and be expressive with your designs while keeping it coherent)

>>2186594
I think you are paying attention to line weight variation and it's showing, but in some places it looks too accidental to be deliberate (left bottom guy's chin, center hawk's tail). Worst case scenario it looks a little sloppy or like you were trying to cover up mistakes. Especially on places like the hawk's body, the line variation looks to random to be aesthetic. I think you have something great, just need to fine tune it.

>>2185079
i love the concept but i agree with >>2185107 it feels a bit empty. maybe try 'electrifying' the beams more and makings more clouds in the chamber?

>>2185347
this is cute. i like it

god damnit stop being so cute anon

Hi! Here's my original sketch:

>>2186805
and the final work

>>2186346
these are great stairs if youre trying to cause some one to be paralyzed. eye level should be just at middle or slightly above middle. that being said the form of the top stairs is completely off. redo those. also it seems like youre trying to have them 'curve' upwards but theyre fixed to a corner that has 90 degrees. either change the corner, extend the middle steps so they connect to the wall, or make the stairs go the same direction and make a 90 degree turn with the wall

>>2186540
the top half is more interesting than the bottom half. it seems ilke the characters at the bottom are supposed to be the main focus and you move up the painting but its the exact opposite and the final point your eyes stop at is dissappointing

finished I guess, cant economice time on it right now

>>2186805
>>2186807
please seek out the beginers thread.

70% done. what i should change?

>>2186862
Pretty nice. Get rid of those ugly white lines on the robot thingy

>>2186862
inb4 word order

>>2186862
It reads very poorly. Shapes are sloppy, lighting isn't consistent, there are random colours and you ruined it by slapping the smudge tool all over the place messing up your edges.

>>2186862
change photos
change red lighting on the robot, actually it's too saturated, that rock is not lava
edges does not exist, don't draw them with shitty white scratches
robot head reads weird, that thing in fron of him is not legible enough, is it floating? what is it?

how is th robot-rat holding there? his left hand is the only arm in contact, and it seems like he's not touching the rock
highlights should be like sky color, not that muddy cyan

I think you photobashed too much, and you got a bit mad with that vertical blurrs

head is not completed. otherwise very helpful as always. thanks!

An anon in the progress thread told me it's time I started pushing out of my comfort zone, so here we are, probably like 75% through this self portrait, was a little apprehensive to show it, since it's so shit.

Rip me apart fam.

how bad did i do?

>>2186895
It's not bad but your gesture looks 10 times as stiff as the original

>>2186900
thanks, ill work on my gestures.

derp

Fire forest anon here, second digital painting. I tried to follow your advice.

>>2186895
resize please
it's not bad, but you've added values where there were not any adn you've omited others, like in the chest

the boots are worse thing of it, dont ignore feet

add more edges to the smoke so it looks less air brushed, even with an eraser, add hues to it

light from the back is cyan, you did gray-blue, play with color adjustements related to values to nail color ranges, oh, and add the floor
your render is cleaner and more nitid than your reference
at least you constructed it, good study

turned out kinda lame and stylistically inconsistent.

>>2186931
I think you would benefit from seeing a video on how to render digitally because you've clearly got no clue about how to do that at the moment.

>>2186931

Hey man, put 'Steve huston boxers' into google. Might be just what you need (ontop of studying in general, as we all do)

>>2186409
edited it. also got a better picture of it.

>>2186969
Love that movie, love the drawing.

Portman looks a little too old/mature though. IMHO sizing down the face a smidge and putting a little more time into the curvature of the brow into the nose on the left side would go a long way towards capturing the youthful beauty she brought to that film.

Just my thoughts.

>>2186969
Her eyes seem a bit messed up, particularly the one on our left. Plant is sick though.

Getting used to digital

annunciation of mary wip

anyone else wants to color it go for it

>>2187003
You usually do a pretty good job with the colors

>>2187003
>>2187036

thanks :3 but this may change your mind lol

I already posted this one here, but it was at an earlier stage. I'm quite slow so i didn't did that much since.

Does it seems good ?

>>2184957
It's great.

>>2185586
Very fun

>>2185723
Nice work

>>2186887
Can you tell me about your brush settings? I have a tablet and never know how I should configure before I start drawing. Is it normal to set opacity to pressure?

>>2186887
draw from a mirror not from a photograph. you'll learn more

>>2187119
what the fuck are you doing with your time, just draw, move your arms, do it, you can't rely on rulers even for inking gosh

>>2186887
Better tell that hairline good bye, Baldie.
Stop copying and start to analyze, the mouth is off and the nose is too big, or the eyes too small. How old are you? Judging by that piece of shit hair probably 26-30.If that's correct you maybe want to look into something else, your skills are low and you will most likely not really gain a lot in the future, at least not enough to justify spending a lot of time with it.

>>2187134
I know why he uses a ruler, look at the things he didn't use it, guy can barely draw a curve without breaking the line.

>>2184079
my thing for the day to not feel bad about being a lazy piece of shit :^)

I'll probably drop the fire effect since I can't into it

just random drawing i made in school beeing bored about our society today

Did some icy cavern landscape thing.

wip, does this tell a story to anyone?

i guess it's an old man bent from his age walking down his every day road, with his grocerys in his bag, a young propably arabic lady walks in the past direction ..

a scribbeling, (needed about 60 1 minute for it, which turned out to be pretty good, or so i think. opinions on that?

(1 minute) and it looks better viewed from farther away.

>>2186977
any crit on this?

>>2187251
Honestly? It looks more like a rocky cavern. Ice would probably be more shard and chaotic with more reflected light.

>>2187267
that one looks quite good.

>>2187267
I guess I should've used some reference before hand to represent it more accurately.

Thanks for telling me anon, I will keep that in mind :)

>>2187272
Also, take a step back and take a look at amount of points of interest you have: light from cellar, white waterfall thing, and half of bright path. For me it creates an effect of 2 different painting side by side. You'll need to decide what exactly is that you want to show.

Ofc I don't draw myself, take my advice with grain of salt, or better, a small asteroid made of salt.

>>2187285
Yeah, I am pretty bad with composition. I just tend to stick stuff down without thinking. Mainly have been trying to get better at value.

But I understand what mean. Too many focal points can get distracting.

>>2186862
Foreshortening on the leg doesn't read correctly. She looks like a midget.

i need more yellows and greens in this but good start so far

>>2187252
yep

>>2187261
any opinions on this one ?

>>2187261

get some glasses

they told the impressionists the same thing

>>2187285
Tried to make it more icy with the above version. The below version is just a coldish cavern.

>>2187322
so many figures! i'd be daunted af. but then, I'm terrible.

>What's with all the retarded rainbow colors where they don't belong?

This is the stupidest thing I've heard.

>>2187340you really shouldn't view the image from a close distance. because its just scribbeled the effect is the best when you view it from some distance or if it's smaller, idk why 4chan makes it appear so big

>>2187340
Also this is not supposed to look lime a real person, i did not pay attention to proper detail or facial anatomy

>>2187201
Alright, so actually knit picking through the shitpost, I should analyse more, cheers.

Not balding btw, just just have a very pronounced hairline, I'm 20, but it's looked like that since I was a kid.

>>2187127
>Is it normal to set opacity to pressure
Yes, for most times.
I use manga studio for their blending settings tho, not photoshop.

>>2187201
>Projecting this much

Just because your a failure anon doesn't mean you need to project it onto others.

>>2187242
i think the background is a bit too airbrushy, and too many hues which makes it a bit muddy. Nice work on the character!
>>2187322
The perspective seem off but you got a nice mood going.

30min sketch. turned out a bit messy with the snow.

wip

>>2187496
The textures + dark values on the left of the image create an optical illusion, like if the background was wrapping around and over the house.

okay boys, asking for honest help here. I feel this picture is messed up, but I can't get my finger on it. so what I can improve on (beside construction), like value, edges, maybe add texture somewhere? pls show pls help

Veil of Veronica

>>2186977
>>2187265
I dunno if there's a reference to go off of but the first thing that sticks out to me is your mouth isnt aligned with the rest of the features. I don't like the background at all personally. May I ask what tools you used to make this?

>>2184634
cute smoughs

>>2187541
I should have prefaced with your painting is better than anything I can do right now so take my advice with a grain of salt

>>2187535
Large face tiny cranium. Strange hairline near the ears too.

Most of the head is drawn from below, but the hair is drawn level with the viewer,

just started this, the purple thing its obviously not rendered yet

>>2187558
I honestly dont want to see it be rendered

>>2187560
Any constructive critique tho?

>>2187561
yeah drop it and work on something els

>>2187561
Fuck the other guy, I'd say move the top figure a little to the right, and the bottom one to the left. The tits should be reacting to the momentum, and fix her gut.

>>2187575
Thank you :) Yes her tits and face look too foreign to the movement and situation. Will fix that, ty anon

>>2187562
doesn't know how to crit
>>2187558
the perspective suggests that she is floating or weightless, and not carrying momentum or moving. The camera needs angle in other words, and her motion should follow towards the camera while the background seems to get farther/closer, whichever way she is travelling

>>2187587
Yeah i understand. Problem is that i suck at foreshortening stuff yet so i should start over and pretend i know what im doing haha :c
Thank you for your critique tho. I will practice more foreshortening and perspective stuff before i start to draw an illustration

>>2187595
>>2187587
>>2187576
>>2187575
just start over and pick something of your caliber, or learn nothing at all.

I really don't understand lighting. Oh well, can I salvage anything from this?

Here's some stuff from the past few days.

>>2188196
You don't understand lighting because you don't understand form

so many things to study yet so little time
fundamentals,composition,values,colour...are we ever going to make it bruhs
