ill bite, i really like how this came out, flaws and all.

>>2333660
I really really really really like this too, anon.

This isn't some anatomy, shading or painting master piece, but i love it, everything was made by my hands. My inspiration was those amazing Kingdom Hearts Stained Glass art.

Still feel like i havnt out done this, even though i never finished it

>>2333687
Is that Lana Del Rey? Very nice, btw.

I jumped back into digital and animu girls shortly afterward.
probably I should get rid of my tablet

>>2333687

she posted it on her instagram without crediting you anon
:O!

>>2333687
very nice paintover. what program do you use?

this is the best work i've done all year, here's to 2016

>>2333684
Yea that is your best looking piece imo too

I did around 75 paintings and over 200 drawings this year so i'll try to pick the one's I liked the most.

I'll start with this one from this month called "Thermidor"

>>2333982
is your dog a fan of mustard?

is mustard even healthy for dogs?

>>2334000
best observational drawing i did this year

>>2334008

>>2334008
Perhaps you should ask for some glasses.

>>2334011
best observational painting from this year also my favorite self portrait from this year

>>2334012

it is not my favorite but that one has no good photos so here, my next favorite piece

>the piece of art
you litterally just shat up this thread via hijacking it into a self shill thread.
OP was THE piece of art you liked the most created by yourself.
not "a bunch of art works i cant decide ayy lmao"

you do this shit every thread.

>>2334294
lol. you think i make money every time i post or something?

I didn't make anything interesting this year :(

>>2334299
No, but it's annoying. That guy is right, you shit up threads by spamming them with your art.

a series of these

>>2334308
i really like those

>>2334323
Interesting. Why is it overtop text like that? And what with the face and boobs within it? What are the others in the series?

i feel like i'm getting worse every year, but this is my favorite from earlier this year, because i absolutely LOVE toshino kyouko

Her Garden

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnB_Npv2PEw

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o48xSiUc7LI

Every element could have been better but being able to put it all together was priceless.

>>2334299
shilling is the ATTEMPT to further ones self image or sell something, you are doing pretty much both but are just shit at selling.

Never had time to draw this year except for this doodle. It was my first time using a pallet knife, I used a crappy dollar brush for the leaves and grass. I kinda like how it turned out, what do you guys think?
>TL;DR I wanted to feel like Bob Ross

I'm pretty fond of this one, even if I kinda fucked up on on the arm. Pretty pleased with my progress, just wish I could shed the animu a bit more.

>>2334346
-_- or maybe i just wanted to share the pieces i liked

>>2334374
everyone posts one but you HAVE TO BE A SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE DONT YOU FUCKER!?

>>2334380
maybe everyone only had one. im sure someone else will post a few. just wait. any second now.

>>2334392
Probably not after the shit they gave you.

>>2334346
It's no coincidence that he looks like an orthodox jew

Definitely not my best work this year but the one I had most fun with. First time doing isometric stuff and I just love it.

>>2334336

Bitch needs to exfoliate...

I drew it as a gift but I'm fond of how it all turned out

uh

nothing

I did some sketches and took some photographs... and failed to come up with illustrations for a high school contact because I suck...

Self portrait.

chalk on black paper.

Hair is a nightmare
happy near years everyone,

>>2334380
this

It's not even finished and since I improved a lot since this summer I can see a lot of mistakes but I guess it's this one. one day i'll paint it...one day.

>>2333684
Hey! I remember that image, nice to see you're still here, haha.

probably this one.


great thread!, hope you all achieve your goals in the new year !

i tried to learn to paint this year (mostly over the summer), i liked this one the most, i think.

>>2334323
this is really cool!! i'm curious too, what were the others in the series like?

>>2334336
can't believe chunbum is still here. keep on keeping on dude

>>2334473
i really liked the lines on this one!! was all the hatching and shit done traditionally and scanned in?

>>2334540
i like this!! very simple, even in its story, but it works. thumbnail is interesting.

>>2333684
i still like this one too!! your fun character stuff and your more developed painting stuff always feel very separate, but this one combines them both nicely.

>>2334556
>>2334473

It's actually done entirely digitally (as with most of my work) but I'm glad the traditional feel is being communicated

awful phone camera but probably this for traditional work. as for digital, ugh, making it this year's goal to improve that

>>2334531
>actually good drawings get no feedback
never change that attitude /ic/

dude rest assured that your thing is on another level than all these faggots.

It's all under NDA. I was too depressed to find motivation for personal work.

I think this one was probably one of my favorites I did this year. I don't really care too much for the picture it's self, but I learned a lot from working on it. I wan to make more pictures similar to this, but with better understanding of composition/story telling. Plus, it was amazingly fun just adding figures interacting with each other.

>>2334344

nice job dude I was here through it all, haha, the amount of times you changed things and adjusted stuff. Still good work in the end.

I enjoyed this one the most. My reasons are the following: The composition was simple and yet had a good hirachy of focals points. And with my predisposition for serene wildlife I was happy with how this came to be a serene wildlife. Also I really liked the use of low opacity brush to create intresing patterns in addition to that the figures are reduced to very simple elements, this gives the painings an abstract quality which also made this the most enyojable one.

>>2334556
>>2334329

here u go

>>2334669
hope you're getting paid by a hip magazine because those are shit.

not that good desu

I did a lot of experimentation with this one, mix of traditional and digital. For my location drawing class. I know it has its problems but I like where I'm headed with it.

>>2333683
Excellent job. I like your choice in colors. What programs do you use?

>>2334936
Great job. I like your drawing style, and the colors you picked. I think perspective is pretty good, only a little off. Drawing round rooms is hard for me.

Really like it.

Water color and gouache paint. The zodiac sign Scorpio. It isn't perfect, but I was proud of myself for utilizing reference photos for her pose.

Liking my huion h610pro even thou it bugs quite often.. Got it as my first, so i'm satisfied as for now

What a fucking retard are you

This one. Doesn't look so good to me but looking at the first picture of this year http://imgur.com/jipxwJk I feel like I advanced a lot,

>>2334561
This is pretty nice anon. Got a site?

has it not occured to you yet that Brian might actually be the OP, and that we're all posting on his shill thread?

about half years ago

it might just be me, but i find something about your style that's incredibly irritating. So please, just post one, or go back to posting on reddit, lol.

As pathetic as it may sound the illustration wasn't as difficult as the music. :s

Couldn't decide, any opinions? How can i improve

I do though i'd rather not share because one blog is all homestuck art past the second page and the other is pretty gay mgs stuff

I really haven't done any substantial art at all this year. I don't know what to do about my lack of motivation

this is the closest to a finished illustration i've done in 2015.

Bottom left. other ones look soulless

I use Photoshop to line my scanned drawings and paint them afterwards.

Damn this looks fucking good anon.
Only thing that frustrates me a tad is the huge vein on his hand.

The thickness seems almost correct, but the shape of it across his hand seems rather unnatural.

If I tense up my hand heavily I don't really see a vein at that angle.

my nigga, I wish more people would talk and play that game because it's god damn beautiful

>>2335163
Makes me think of some red sea slug that really wants to be a bird.
One day, by some miracle it is granted magical powers to control the water.
It uses the water to take on the form of a beautiful bird, rising high above the ocean in a burst of pure ecstasy.

Then an actual bird flies past and eats it.

Cue record rip sound effect. The music stops, and only the sound of the ocean and birds flying by can be heard.

Music playing faintly in the background of such a story would be this:

enjoyed it the most simply due to an experiment with organic shapes paying off better than i'd hoped.

it was also my first time using a softer pen nib.

>>2335268
>pencil portraits of actors from popular tv shows with a signature beside the face and art supplies scattered across the paper

kill yourself immediately.

>>2335812
I really like this, anon! Keep up the good work.

tHIS.

>>2335790
Well, that's about right, because the story behind that statue was, basically:
"well, I want to make a phoenix, but cobalt (blue) glass is just so much better. Ok then, since phoenix is a mythical creature anyway, who says it can't be formed from water?"

I haven't gotten around to a proper photo yet but this is the last painting of 2015 and the one I liked the most

I like this one a lot, I guess

>>2335724
Come on thats fucking harsh now.
>>2335747
Thanks
>>2335785
Thanks, and Yeah I also see that now. It was done this summer and I improved a lot since then so maybe I'll redo it

>>2335845
bretty gppd but the hair is really awful.

>>2334014
join ISIS and blow yourself up you annoying piece of shit

>>2334578
man havent you seen that anatomy its absolutely terrible he clearly didnt read loomis 4 times as suggested in the sticky blah blah

>>2335789
Yeah, everything about that game is beautiful, the aesthetics, the music, the story telling, even the UI is beautiful, which makes it, unfortunately, underrated.

>>2334344
Oh, i wish /ic/ wasn't just drawings and paintings, because i love music and unfortunately /mu/ is full of hippies and shitposting.

I guess this is technically the best thing I have on my computer from 2015. feels bad, this is only a half assed study and still the best I got. my tablet stopped working and I had to go traditional for 6 months, which was good for my anatomy and values, but completely ruined my sense of color and sketching digitally

Here's hands down my best study this year

but here's my favorite thing from this year

Sadly this.

>>2336047
I like this a lot. Then again it is a hot naked girl, I would like the photo the same. Great brush strokes tho

>>2333655

my personal fav of 2015

Probably this. I've also really enjoyed making my comic that this goes with. Sorry for mediocre picture quality, it's 18"x24".

none
I hate everything I draw

and I've been here for years

This only because it's the only thing I drew all year that was more than a sketch or just a random character standing there. It reminds me that I need to get back on the drawing wagon since I pretty much did all of 3 to 6 actual art pieces this whole year. Back to the drawing/study board.

It's k

>>2336159
>>2336160
>posts 2 works.
NO.

I dont even know where I'm going with this...

Shitty drawing I know. Wanting to become a graphic novelist but can't seem to sit down and actually attempt to draw anything that comes to mind most of the time. Critique as you wish, you cannot offend me.

this was actually my best of 15

>>2334866
My roommate woke up and asked me wtf I was laughing at after I read this

>>2336503
nice

>>2336021
Yes, me too.

Even so I like that /ic/ is focused to content creation. /mu/ is the opposite in that regard, there is only a single thread about music production at any given time.

>>2336498
You have at least 6 years of hard work ahead of you. At which point you may have the privledge of making $0 an hour making comics for a shitty indie publisher.

Not a single one. They're all shit. As long as I can see a flaw in my pictures they're shit.

>>2335184
ah i remember seeing this, i wanted to ask for a blog or something before but didnt..

so blog?

Astrip that required a LOT of research and designwork,but it paid off. The columns and staff ate up 4 pages of sketchbook,and cleanup of the strip was more involved,but I'm proud of it...

>>2336699
nah. i don't have any. sorry! maybe some day in future. but not now.

thanks for your kind words bruh
I was really just experimenting
basically I got full page photos out of some 1970s knitting magazines from the thrift store
then created a stencil of each guy and layered it over the top of each photo
then rolled acrylic paint over the pics
then fed each page through the printer and printer random JPGS over them
then removed the stencil and stuck them on pages of text and added faces

>>2335843
Thank you! Same to you.

>>2335848
That's pretty neat, it certainly looks beautiful in blue too.

I deleted everything actually, this is the only thing left
but >3 yearyloos

>>2338423
That's kinda cute, you just gotta work on proportions and anatomy, then go to stylized drawing. If you want to get even better, then you learn how to draw clothing, fold, ya know, perspective, and so on.

Fucking faggot.
The only true mistake you can make in art is running away from your past production. Either you learn to live with it or you'll be making the same mistake once and again.

I just started drawing 6 months ago and only did two acryllics, but I'm satisfied with this one

>>2334473
Is this trad or digital? Nice work regardless, your linework is stellar, sans whatever happened on the boxing glove.
>>2334476
Yes.
>>2334729
The perception of depth here is, IMO, actually pretty powerful. However, there are a lot of inconsistencies that I don't think would be too challenging to clean up - like the roof of the church, and how it doesn't really connect to the Bell tower whatsoever. Extending the height of the roof behind the tower would remedy this.
The pickets in the fence also seem to come from a different perspective than the observer, but fences can be rickity and I don't see it as too much of a problem if you don't.
>>2334890
I really like this, anon. Nothing negative to say.
>>2335055
What don't you like about this?
The only problem I see is that area of white under the left arm (from the observers POV) that diminishes the bicep. It's a pretty exceptional piece.

I disagree with the other anon, that hair is a definite success.

This is the kind of shit I tried to do all through school & failed miserably at.
Well done, sir.

Right, so now that I've ripped into you guys, I expect just the same.

Tear my shit up, please.

this one, cause I rarely ever draw what I want and I spend most of my time practicing like you guys told me.

Could you tear my shit up, Mr. President?

did this early in the year, its pretty small and i lost the physical piece which im mad about. i had to rip this from my Instagram

>>2335268

>>2336803
Good use of color and facial expression, this type of work is similar to what I do

Someones in the medical field

One wall from a mural I did over the summer. I think I could have done better on the art itself, but I'm proud of myself for completing such a (literally) big project. And I apologize for the blurry photo, but I won't spam the thread with close-ups.

Probably this one, way back at the beginning of the year too...

>>2341764
I remember when you posted that anon.

Really well done. Did you use charcoal?

Was the first time I managed to get likeness and expression down. Fond memory.

>>2341770
i like the roughness
>>2340671
enjoy the line quality anon
>>2336277
i like the crows beak and eye
>>2334936
color and lines are sweet, i also like the lady in reds figure

>>2341766
Hah, thanks! And yeah, it's just charcoal, my favorite medium after colored pencil.

this is the only painting I did last year that I could even call finished. what a shit year

>>2341779
Gorgeous, anon. Tumblr?

I haven't been drawing as much as I'd like to, but I really like how this pic turned out.

>>2341779
I contributed to your Patreon, but stopped because your words are fucking depressing.

I'm working on learning how to draw landscapes. Then i'm going to drop these monstrosities into the drawings. I've only got my new sketch book so my 2015 book is at home. I need to draw more

The fact that this is the nicest out of the 5 things I drew last year pisses me off.
