Posted this just as the old thread was abandoned, so i hope it's ok that i make a new one here.

Making a short comicbook story about a joker victim, i don't know exactly where to take it yet, but i have an idea. Just trying to experiment with the style and look of it for now though.

Pointers and general advice about what you'd want from a story like this would be fantastic, and would you read it based on this one panel?

>>2452450
And the joker im going with is supposed to be a tribute to Mckeans joker, who will be listed as an inspiration and influence when it's done.

made this, im probably going to make this into a painting when i can afford to

>>2452448
>>2452449
very nice

>>2452450
joker based stories are really overdone, even in official batman comics. i understand that its a cool idea to work off of, but due to everybody making something relating to the joker is getting old. id recommend an original story

art wise this is good, the composition is wonky. also there is a lot of negative space. seems kind of lazy, id recommend centering the image or making more visible.

one more thing, showing only one eye is intimidating, but again a generic idea.

Shitty photo.
Beginner thread ref from a while back, and some torso studies. Slowly filling this book.

warming up

>>2452419
Op, are you the painter of your attached image? If so, what's your tumblr or gallery, please? If not, could you let me know its source? It's very nice.

>>2452439

Scrap it, study a fuckload of anatomy, then try again at a much later point in time.

>>2452453

The composition is really bad. A good example is the tree on the right; either have it overlap the gnome or place it much more to the right. Before you waste money on paint, leave this. make thumbnails, change things around, pick a comp that is clear and leads the eye around in a beneficial way. If you found one l, use that to redraw this and then break out the paints.

>>2452458
Thanks dude, i actually think i'll follow everything you said. It all makes sense, and that's the first time that has happened to me here.

But negative space is kind of crucial for that panel i think, i have to make the reader feel how alone the person is in the nightmare, that there's only him and the psycho in an empty space. I'll play around with the composition.

I have to pull the face down, and maybe centering him a bit would be better, but i think pulling him even further back into the shadows and making him a bit smaller will strengthen the feel it needs.

Coming up with an original character is going to be a blast, thanks for the advice man.

>>2452470

Nice but I think you could ease on the dark of your darkest dark juuuust a tad. Reserve the pure black as an oomph for details.

>>2452467
just so that you know, you are not learning anatomy, but how to do a photo copy

>>2450436
I really want to hear your critic.

>>2452419
Who is the artist in the thumbail please?

>>2452473
OP here, it's not my image. Just picked it from last draw thread. Try to find out more there or try a reverse image search.

>>2452470
why are you still here

>>2452470
Nice, but I think the lower half of his head looks too "healthy" in comparison to the rest. The fleshy-ness seems a bit misplaced here.

>>2452530

Tried to reverse search but no dice?.

>>2452536
Yeah, I tried too. Also saw that in the last thread the artist stated that he has no blog.
Would've loved to follow him somewhere.

>>2452450
>>2452458
Did i take the character too far here? I tend to make crazy characters a bit too crazy, making them alittle too alien.

Any thoughts on this?

>>2452485
>>2452535
Thanks for the advice. It rings true.

>>2452531
Where else would I go?

>>2452635
Blog please? This is very pleasant.

The grey behind the character is a bit odd, however, I'd tone it down a little.

>>2452656
ok, no blog yet...

>>2452635
washes out, doesn't read

>>2452635
very tekkonkinkreet
anyways, not bad

havent painted in a while. not working on this one anymore-- but what do i need to change for my next study?

>>2452706
welp the image might help. whats good, whats wrong ?

>>2452635
The motorcycle doesn't read so well, maybe a little line weight or contrast would solve that. But i dig it.

Ball point pen. Took me forever

>>2452498
yeah i know what I'm about

Im new to /ic/ any suggestions?

>>2452708
I like you subtle color shifts in the skin. Some occuluded shadow in nooks that are strategically placed to bring fourth important features would be nice to bring foutth the form. .

Attempting chalk pastels in class
Other than the over-sized eyes and the work that needs to be done on the hair/eyebrows, everything look alright? Advice and critique appreciated.

>>2452771
You should really attempt to define the change in plane between the front of the fact and the side after the cheek.

>>2452776
*front of the face

>>2452707
softening edges.

>>2452707

spaceships i think ill color later
is anyone trying to give crits/thoughts on stuff from the end of the last thread
>>2451269
>>2451265

>>2452830
i liked how it looked with all hard edges but thats just my tastes. I still think youre softening it up too much tho.

judge mine

>>2452899
Very wonky anatomy. Most of the issues I see are with proportions. Her shoulders are too narrow, arm is too short but there are too many off proportions for me to list them all. I'd recommend doing some 5-10 minute gesture drawings from reference with a strong focus on comparing scales of body parts to one another as well as capturing the weight bearing points of all the limbs and joints.

>>2452909
that wasnt actually my drawing its from a pro i wanted to see if drawfags would actually judge

>>2452928
doesn't look very pro to me

Rednecks for breakfast

>>2452928
>its from a pro
>>2452932

>>2452928
I still stand by everything I said. I mean look at that ear. Whoever drew this has serious issues with proportion and perspective too. Pro doesn't mean a whole lot, really. I could call myself pro based on some of my freelance gigs. Pro doesn't mean perfect, it just means you get paid to draw and the threshold for that isn't so high that you expect to never see a working artist who's got flaws in their work. Rob Liefeld, for example.

>>2452899
Eyes are a tiny bit too high on the face.

Nice line weight, however.

>>2452473
Thanks!

>>2452713

Interesting, but it shouldn't take you that longgg

I need some help picking which one is the most appropriate, which one says scruffy Irish Satyr to you to most.. Whole prompt it here: http://comments.deviantart.com/1/594180843/4072624865

>>2452998
forever = a whole night

>It's a bit like this

I know as a general rule /ic doesn't really like art which makes explaining the symbolism pointless. Once the the sweet spot is found it really, it really lifts off.

It was a slightly hampered piece, and there was a limit to what I could do with it. I would put my name to it though.

>>2452419

>>2453013
The brushwork is too tight on the face, most evident in the eyes.

Loosen it up more and use a bigger brush to match the texture of the rest of the body.

nah, you'd be there forever when the problem is actually the backing that you can't see.

fuck you. fuck you. fuck you.

>>2453013
>>2453016
Hope you don't mind a redline/paintover thingy. Proportion-wise your copy's head, hands (esp. her right hand), and both feet are too small. Torso is also a little too squat. Don't use so many brush strokes, it makes the copy too messy, try for simpler, bigger shapes (I'm not really much of painter though, so I am not sure how helpful the left two pictures of mine help...). Colours in your copy also seem a little desaturated.

>>247529957
That's not in Spain, right? Do you have the reference perhaps?

Sorry if pic related is too big, I don't think it's possible to fix that from my phone and sadly I don't have my laptop with me.
I'll delete the post if you want

>>2452498
I know he was probably just copying pictures, but still. University's anatomy books artists are actually well paid, but it's difficult to get a job and it's required to draw actual human organs. I mean you have to copy a real fucking lung and shit like that, the smell is often terrible and it's actually difficult because you have to stylize the organs to fit their role as medical illustrations.
My old professor did that for some time

WIP
working on an underground scene, and am not sure how to handle the light in the scene.

forgot image

>>2453402
it's sure dark

>>2452419
Finished drawing from yesterdays thread. (I rushed the tattoo, gonna redo that for sure. And I don't usually put an outline around my realistic drawings, I just liked the way it went with this one) Advice/thoughts?

>>2452473
>>2452517
>>2452538
I don't post finished stuff anywhere, but I've joined LAS and made a blog for doodles, so... here you go
http://abc123daily.tumblr.com/

>>2453407
>>2450441 still applies.

>>2453454
Yeah, read that a bit too late. Will definitely pay attention to that for next drawing, I tend to do that a lot. Thanks :)

>>2452572
A couple suggestions

I really think you should push him back into the darkness. With the way you have it, he feels like he's in a "conversation zone" though from the description I feel he should be at a "stalker distance" if you catch my drift.

Symmetric composition is meh, if you want to keep the straight on feel, i would maybe have something asymmetric about the character. Maybe you don't see his eyes, but you see his smile? Or maybe it's an interesting light pattern where you're not getting the entire form of the character itself.

You have the skill, it's just trying to push the concept further than what you're showing us.
We should be able to read what the image is conveying with or without the text. Push it further from the cliche and it will definitely make for a MUCH stronger image.

>>2453450
Yes! Added it to my favorites. Thank you so much!

another painting. i feel somethings wonky with this one. feedback appreciated

>>2452771
make sure you really examine what your face looks like, it looks like you may have a symbol drawing issue. ie) drawing what you think is there rather than what is actually observed.
i think there are some exercises that deter from symbol drawing in the wiki, google probably has a bunch as well.

>>2453547
Her left eye (on our right) looks too small and the nose is set too far back, messing up the centerline of her face. Also the dip below her nose is like, really huge.

Started messing around with Krita. This is a pretty cool program, but the brush I decided to use was really hard to use. I've never actually done alla prima but I'm guessing it felt something like that, since the stuff always behaved as if it was wet.

Update as I've finished shading in everything in the foreground. Any advice/fixes/shit talk before I move into working on the background?

I'm conflicted on whether or not I should add some shading to the top half of the jellyfish's mouth. Opinions, please?

MSE's are done so now I have free time. This is from yesterday.

>>2453674
And this from today. I'm three month's out of practise but I'll gain that ground back.

>>2453084
because when your focus gets to a certain point that graduation of blue will totally leap out and travel across the work of art.

I couldn't do much more as the surface was bumpy from previous attempts so it sort of was a problem with breaking the viewers trance. Also, it's been a real struggle with actual depiction vs. visionary message, and I know you guys don't dig that thang. So.

>>2452935
did he lose 200 lbs recently?

>>2453407
nipples dont face up naturally

>>2452635
You need to more clearly define your foreground and background, through something like value change, colour, line weight, amount of detail, anything.
It's extremely hard to read because it's so flat. Which is a shame cause I get some cool vibes from this otherwise.

>>2453692
What makes you say that?

>>2452635
>>2453696
its called atmospheric perspective
and this picture surely could use some

>>2452995
looks great. only thing that bugs me is that hatching on the side walk in the lower left. makes that area look unfinished.

>>2453750
looks like he has a lot of extra skin

Hi, anon, my second try to paint an orange in PS. A friend of mine says that it lacks volume and looks plastic. Any ideas how to improve it? Any tuts or books would be nice (if they exist)

>>2452419

Drew this for a friend just now, quick 10 to 20 minute sketch start to finish in sketchbook pro

is the head too forward?
something is off but I can't figure it out

>>2453871
it's not good, start drawing from life

>>2453793
??? Why did you paint it over a picture of an orange sitting on your laptop??¿

>>2452419
am i doing this right?

>>2453633
it would benefit from better line control, not something you can fix in this piece per say but move towards it in the future.
you have a very simplistic thing going on with your values in this piece, if you do shade the mouth just make sure its the same black you have as the rest. i think a mid tone would be funky.

hope i managed to not make the file fuckhuge

>>2452776
Yer right, definitely have to work on flatness. Working with a limited palette is pretty challenging, but I'll hash it out. Thanks!
>>2453557
Yeah I definitely saw it in the eyes, I sat there for an hour trying to drop their size and give them form. Didn't work all that well, may move on to practicing what you mentioned.

>>2452771
>>2454156
Also, early wip of a Manet study.

>>2452635
Like everyone else has pointed out: It needs more variation in both hues and values, it's a bit hard to read as it is now. Really has potential, tho!

Self portrait. Is this presentable?

any advice/critique would help

>>2454257
not sure if I'm qualified to critique but I'll try

the shading for the abs make her look chubby(unless that's what you were going for in the first place) which make it look like there's fat hanging around her belly
composition wise I don't know what you're trying to portray so it's a bit confusing since the eyes easily catch my attention but then there's a lower half which also catches my attention so my view is easily divided rather than looking at one whole picture maybe move the focus/framing a little higher since I prefer looking into her eyes and focusing on the contrast with her head and the robe

aside from the I really like it anon can't wait to see it finished

>>2454257
The cast shadow of the cape on her belly is kind of flat. That bugs me.

>>2454257
the colors are fantastic. Not pulling your leg or being facetious, please if you have a blog share

>>2454257
make your belly shadows stronger and sharper
and use less variations in shade for it and the cloak

I like it a lot
post the finished one when your done

>>2454257
Everyone else already commented on theshadows, I think the composition needs a little more breakup between the cape and the background unless you wanted it to blend together that muhc. It's almost getting hard to tell it's a cape though, just push it a LITTLE farther.

>>2454271
that was very helpful. the chubby tummy suppose represent her softness and vulnerability, that with the torn robes turning into wolf fangs supposed to emphasize that but i guess that doesn't work. i make those changes
>>2454279
>>2454286
>>2454289
thanks i'll fixed this up

>>2454281
i don't have a blog yet

>>2454031
I think the head might be a tad too far forward, yeah. I also think I'd slim down the ribcage on the left, it doesn't look like it's receding in perspective right now. Well it does, but not at the same angle as her shoulders and waist.

did anatomy
made super hero

>>2454126
Fair enough, I'll do some exercises for line control, as I've always had borderline parkinsons when drawing

>>2454298
keep the chub

>>2454257
>>2454271
I'll second this point about there being two focal points. Especially in the thumbnail, I'm not sure where my eyes are supposed to go. I dig it otherwise, though.

>>2452419
this is painful

>>2454370
stop using browns and start using yellows and reds

>>2454370
You completely changed the direction of her face, bro.

What do you fags think?

Don't outline the whole figure break you lines up, will give drawing more realist look

painted my friend

I love drawing myself, am I a narcissist?

obviously i don't like it, cause im not a child anymore

>>2454069
>>2454370
learn to draw before you paint. these are very off, even if your goal is to draw without copying ref

>>2454424
great but please do better work capturing the likeness of this fallen hero.

>>2454058
yeah, the reflection gave it away. it would be a pretty good practice to draw objects in a photo that weren't there in the first place.

>>2454481
probably

>>2454494
I love your art style
draw more non cp more often

>>2454510
i hate you as a person

>>2454457
This portrait is refreshing, the distorted hands adds a peculiar feeling and alot of depth to an otherwise straight forward portrait.Godspeed anon.

>>2454511
wow rude

>>2454510
stop being a dictator fag

>>2454494
I occasionally check up on your art, and you've got both the style and skill to be successful. Is there a particular reason you post so little art, or do you simply not draw very much?

an old work

>>2453185
Thanks anon

so the problem with the fingers was that the outline around them wasn't tight enough to the fingers, and they looked longer and the hand looked wider as a result. the underpainting is yellow so it was blending into the fingers and making it look like that was a part of the painting.

small things like that make all the difference cause you guys are right it looked strange before

>>2453514
thanks dude, i'll try out some stuff

>>2454547
Is this supposed to be fixed? Why? Why?? Why bother having a model if you're not going to use it to make corrections? Just look. Just look closely that's all anyone is trying to say to you. You don't want to go for photo realism that's fine, but if you bother having a model to use for reference you must care about accuracy or correctness to some degree so just follow through on it ffs.

>>2454507
This is what I am working from, I know it is off, having a hard time telling where. Thanks

>>2454564
What do you mean the painting was fine it just had too much underpainting showing through around the hands. It wasn't an issue with how I used the model just a stylistic consistency problem

done I think.

Pixelovely studies, like 15 mins each, markers. Been grinding fucking heads for months now and I feel kinda stuck, any advice? Inb4 grind more, will do anyway

>>2454626

>>2454626
only thing I can say is don't skip the construction phase. once you have a solid base then it will be easier to add the forms.

>>2454629
I used the lightest markers for construction (almost invisible, especially in black dude's face), but maybe I'm just sloppy as fuck. Any advice on levelling up in face construction? Been studying Loomis, Hampton and Steve Huston's vids on heads.

>>2454641
Get comfortable with proportions and the planes of the face. Study the Asaro head, and give Proko's facial features videos a try.

people kept saying to color things so

>>2454565
hes older than that and his expression is more dour. you should more accentuate the features that lend to that look. Basically I think you held back and flattened the image a bit too much.

Someone please critique this. I've looked at it for so long I honestly cant tell if it's total shit.

>>2454684
oops

>>2454708
Consider a different shade for your shadows - the current one doesn't really fit in with the orangeish/yellowish lighting and skin tone, and looks more like well-lit mud on the face than any actual shadow.

On the bright side (no pun intended) I like the definition of the cheek plane with that light, and the highlights that emphasize the shininess/oiliness of the nose.

>>2454646
Thank you, Anon, will do.

>>2454031
Doing some redlines for warmup I guess. And I have a tonne of energy right now. If you're still working on this:
-I think your main problem is that your head seems small
-The head seems too far forward if you want it to be straight up. I'm not sure what the story is so I don't know what the pose should be.
-Her left hand is like super wonky (digits bending wrong ways)
-Practice making cleaner lines

>>2454627
why markers?
You'll get a better bang per buck with most other mediums and have way more control of your marks.

>>2454069
>>2454370
Pay more attention to shapes, like, look at their shapes. Keep your shapes simple and separate your light/dark shapes before adding detail.
>>2454257
I like the colors. I assume you want more attention drawn up to the face (yeah?), so you could make an obvious gradient from dark at the bottom to light at the top to draw attention up. Just an idea.
>>2454481
Of course. What artist isn't? Work on structure and form.
>>2454492
Work on structure and form.
>>2454626
>>2454627
I would try working slower, and focus more on structure and form. Try thinking about the features fitting into and onto the skull more. Up your contrast too, bring in some darker darks. Definitely work slower though, you don't need to actually finish a whole head at a time.
>>2454708
Start a new portrait study. Your current drawing doesn't really have much to build off of. Next time around spend more time thinking about the skull and it's construction.

Hope this helps someone. I'm fasting today and for some reason I have a lot of extra energy, and time, apparently.

>>2454719
Thank you thank you thank you!

>Drawing gun hammers in 3D
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>2454812
your perspective on the rear sight, hammer, and grip is kinda fucked up, cant put my finger on it

>>2454819
>>2454812
I agree, it looks like there's several horizons at play

working on it, need to find good balance with contrasts first. Water looks bit wonky and dull.
1/2

>>2454829
I've made a dozen different ideas around this, maybe post more if needed.

>>2454819
>>2454827
Yep, you guys are right the grip isn't thick enough, the sight is supposed to tilted back a bit but the perspective on both the sight and mount isn't right, and the construction I used for the hammer (aka none) is fucked.

>>2454186
wow i wouldn't have guessed that they were done by the same person (not in a bad way), looks like a good study

Getting to grips with the tablet, not really doing this for any good reason, but I'd appreciate any criticism you can give.

>>2454849
actually now that i see your reference it looks like it the barrel and the hilt of the the gun that our off perspective :) good job though bro its really minor. Keep up the good work

>>2454881
I forgot that perspective can often warp 3D shapes making them even more complex, this is why I need to make sure my basic construction is solid before I go into detail. Keep up the critiques my nigga, lord knows we d/ic/ks need them

>>2454873
>>2454869
resize these fucken images for pete's sake DAM

>>2454902
>open in new tab
>image automatically resized to fit screen

It's annoying, but it's not that bad.

But yes, please resize images so that they aren't over 1500 px in any direction.

Drew this in like 3 mins because was bored in school. Roast me.

Any way i can better this drawing?

>>2454906
What's the point of this? What did you even want out of posting this?

Zero critique can be given. Draw something in more than 3 minutes and actually try so that we can critique you.

>>2454912
Roasted

>>2452453
>make it into a painting.

jokes aside, i like it.

Anyone have a reference for mouths? I've never had a bigger cancer and am really close to just deleting this fucking project. Its really pissing me off.

>>2454931
Looks like something out of Dead Space 3

>>2454896
glad i can help

>>2454907
no, you can draw another one better though. I think you need to better your grasp on anatomy a bit, and then go slower with your shading so you can get a better result.

Looks like you're beginning to get the basics down. Your moving up the learning curve. Just keep drawing horses again and again and each time try to just improve one aspect of it and you'll get there.

>>2452928
Pro only means that's he is just earning money out his work. but does he have some qualities that make him greatly desired by industry and admired by his fellow artist?

>>2454942
Thanks brother, I'll make more.

>>2454949
how long have you been drawing?

>>2454626
Those quick studies aren't meant to teach you how to accurately capture faces in a vacuum, they're mostly for training your speed and adding to your visual library. The human face is to complex to be able to learn to draw it well from just doing it fast a lot.
Do sone slower studies and don't call them sine until they look right. Figure out why they look right. Study construction and how faces and heads are made up sui you can understand how all the little pieces fit together. If you can't draw an eye, how can you expect to draw a face with two of them?

>>2454935
we dont talk about that anymore

Did I make good fishes?

need help with pointing out whats wrong with the pose/colors before going on.

>>2454242
get to the beginner thread mate

>>2455119
Face and neck look both too long.

>>2455119
Colors just use white for highlights, try temperature changes rather than just mixing in flat white; colors reflect light differently and the light that bounces off will be tinted with the surface color. The pose is awkward but I understand where you're going with it and think the bigger problem is the anatomy. This looks done from imagination, but there isn't enough understanding if the human body behind it. Neck is too long, arms are bent and stretched to fit the imagined pose, weight is not distributed along elbows, cup not sitting with weight in hands, fingers incorrect, hair flat rather than drawn as locks on a rounded object, face profile inaccurate (eyes are sunken too far or the bridge if the nose is too thick) ear is incomplete neck is connected to the head incorrectly, clavicle on far side incorrectly placed...use reference and these problems will be greatly reduced.

>>2455119
um... it's a bit stiff. neck a bit long, her right shoulder a bit far forward. her left arm, the shadow is giving it an odd look on the shoulder. pointy fingers and thumb. right arm forward is a very uncomfortable pose.

take a photo of the look yourself and try again.

or , when you actually sit like that, it hurts...

I've just fucked it up real bad look. ah shit. rip it off try again.

>>2454457

I like it. Call your work "Mr. Rapehands" and you can hang it in a museum

>>2455036
Well, horses for about 3 months.
I've just started people a couple of weeks ago. Here is a sketch I've been working on.

>>2454834

>>2454829
I like those

>>2455153
not so sure about the face exactly but for sure I agree with the neck.


Hair was done differently than I intended and eyes are farther back. Ear was in progress. Either way better to scrap this now.

Here's a warmup sesh I just finished. Haven't painted in weeks. I only took an hour. If i spent more time on it i could make it look more accurate.

>>2454946
obviysly he IS desired bt industry otherways he wouldnt earn money out of his work, he already made it and his anatomy aint too well
>why even live

>>2455340

another quick one

>>2455340
Check your negative spaces

>>2454707
Thanks I will try and apply what you suggested. Once again Thanks.

would learning how to sculpt in 3d )zbrush) help me also with drawing ?

>>2455391
another

>>2455392
Yep. if i took it further i would warp and rescale areas and paint on top of it with more accuracy

>>2454802
>>2455063
Thanks Anons, slowing down might be the most useful advice in a long time, I've spent my practice time drawing a fuckton of gestures and 5min-heads since I wanted to avoid polishing turds. Time to go accurate contruction-wise I guess.

>>2455436
I usually take 2 to 3 hours to finish a whole body, details and everything.

Was reading through Loomis. Drew some "Blooks"

>>2455391
You should outline your figures like this. It looks great.

>>2452482
Nah man, I like it, it still works.

>>2455566
>he made up a few of his own
>he actually applied the concept in the book to something that doesn't appear in the book (the rabbit)

Keep going, you're going to make it.

>>2455340
i can tell youre not drawing what your eye sees just from the way you highlighted the hair, maybe something to work on

Weak as fuck; find it really, really difficult to show movement. My drawings are also so static!

>>2454931
really good man

>>2455098
no, looks like if a kid had done it (if you arent actually one)

I can't seem to get this bioluminescent tree thing to look good. Fucking hell, any help?

>>2455743
art isn't for you

>>2455747
It's okay, I don't care about art, I just wanna make pretty pictures and things I think are cool.

Got a long ass way to go

>>2455809
Shit why is it upside down

>>2455566

ditch loomis and just draw

trust homebrew

>>2455814
Add some shading, then repost.

>>2455843
Still worth a read through, especially if I pick up a few new tips.

>>2455606
more Blooks I guess.

really fell out of the rhythm lately

>>2455954
art isn't for you

>>2455954
Aside from the size of the ear, which I'm assuming is supposed to be that large because you're drawing an orc or something, the angle that the ear is drawn at seems to suggest that we're looking at it directly. However, in this picture, it should be tilted backwards, flush with the head.

If your intention was to draw an ear that protrudes from the head, then you should have kept the base of the ear flush against the head as normal and instead extended the pinna with a distinct curvature and hollow, rather than the flat human version we see here.

It looks like you used a reference for the ear, but you got a reference taken from a profile shot rather than a 3/4 shot.

Drawing from photo, critique away, always welcome. How can I take this to the next level, our what should I do next time around? Thanks.

>>2456007

>>2455982
i'm better than you
>>2455989
nah I didn't use reference, that's probably why. thanks

>>2456016
>i'm better than you
you're not ready for art yet

>>2456025
care to back your shitposting up

>>2456028
I looked at your art you could even call it "art". It's simply shows you're untalented and you will utterly defend yourself by saying you're better than me when in fact. You've never seen my art (which receives around 6-9 positive replies every time I post) yet you will say you're better than me. It's quite simply to draw and some are better than others, if you want to make a career out of art you're not cut out for it.

>>2456032
I already have a career in art
the reason I know I'm better than you is because you're shitposting on /ic/ and also refuse to post your own art, I dunno what would possess anyone to post like you are

>>2456042
That's fucking terrible

why do the more talented posters always get flamed here?

trying to do my own hand from life, finding it hard to wrap my head around the forms though, any tips?

>>2452935
Dude, check those proportions. The lower part of his face is melting, his nose is gigantic due to his deformity, his head doesn't fit on his head, his ear is too small and looks like it's cut in half.

Then we have the askewed features, as the top half of the face is more or less 3/4, and the nose and the mouth should be 3/4 but are more like a profile, and to try to fix this you drew the left nostril more protuberant, and also the left part of the lips, when you should have brought them back more to the middle of the face, and shown more of his cheek.
Also, you drew the right eye like it was a front view. Everything together makes this a bizarre flat drawing of a deformed man.

You will get there, though, you make some beginner mistakes, but your lines are pretty clean for example. Study more from real life and don't try to skip the measuring of the features you lazy fuck. Good luck

>>2452995
Looks more sad than spooky

>>2456042
Teach me to handle color like you senpai

>>2456255
Purdy gud. Push your value more, though.

what do you think guys

did a still life

>>2456308
Your only values are from 0 to about 40% grey

Go darker. Way darker.

Left shoulder blade appears to be warped slightly leftwards. Similarly, the two dimples on the back are placed in a way that suggests slight scoliosis, compared to the overall curve the the back.

Lastly, the curves on the outsides of the back don't really match the curve of the spine you've set up, which suggests that the center of the spine has been twisted towards the left, while the ends have been twisted towards the right. I'm assuming this wasn't what you were going for.

Take this really bad paint drawing I did that highlights why they don't match up.

>>2455743
Okay, I think this looks way better. I gotta figure out how to apply it to the tree and look right, though.

>>2456328
good

Amateur here, hello all.

>>2456328

this is freaking great man.

Sargent study I did earlier, noticed I made her smiling and left it that way

>>2456383
What I was studying

>>2456396

>>2456411
thanks.

Alright I'm done.

How did this end up from a point of view that's not my own, skewed impression of it?

>>2455908
Are you Loomis in person?

This would really benefit from dramatic changes of line weight
His pose really isn't indicative that the crossbow has any weight, either

I'm just nitpicking, nice job (but really force yourself to make dramatic changes in lineweight)

>>2456638
what are you using to get the white highlights?

>>2456185
Thanks alot for the critique! usually i am so below average no one bothers commenting on my stuff, this was realy helpful.

>>2452419
How do you properly construct hands, I have always had trouble with this.

>>2452439
hands & fingers are too standardized. when you hold something, your fingers dont all line up, looking exactly the same and decreasing in length incrementally.
each finger will bend to wrap around the object in a slightly different way. heres a couple stock pics i smashed together to try and demonstrate, and remember to look at your own hands
in general, just don't standardize parts of the body. try and imagine the really complex ways things are angled and remember that there are very few poses where the right and left arms or legs can be drawn the same way, ya know?

>>2456596

>>2456007
Doing a lot well here, but the thing that stands out the most are that the eyes are off, both in shape and positioning. I wouldn't bother trying to fix it this time, but next time pay closer attention to your construction.

>>2455123
where is that?

>>2456901
quality shitpost

Necks for days

>>2456722
for an idea of what i use.
copic fine liner. 0.1
pentel brush pen
for the white outlines i used a Uniball Signo white gel pen.
last are copics c1, c3,c5, and c7.

Still learning the female anatomy, could someone give me some red lines? I am trying to get her arms behind her back holding her hands and can't seem to get the breast right. Would greatly appreciate it.

>>2456952
you are beyond hope

>>2456955
Bruh, please. I just started last week.

>>2456952
Go to beginner thread and start resizing your stuff.
Also, look at reference. Sorry, can't give you
redlines right now.

>>2456959
I swear have been searching for "beginner" in the catalog and couldn't find it and now I see it... Thanks.

>>2456952
The arm and body are disproportionately long compared to the head, the head is too large, and the breast is saggy and deflated.
Watch some anatomy tutorials and try some basic poses for exercise. Just keep drawing and don't get discouraged.

>>2456964
huh! now i find it too. Im >>2456836

>>2452449
I like the left one a lot, for some reason.

>>2457034
thanks, those two are really different and I agree with you.

>>2456829
Thank for your input, I agree.

>>2456328

noice
oils or acrylic?

>>2457166
oils. im fiending for anything other than student grade but i still haven't sold any paintings :( i just can't get things as chromatic, light, or dark as i want. I know it's good to work with materials with limitations and I shouldn't complain but it would be nice to have higher quality paints. I think I could utilize them well.

>>2455659
I like this drawing, i like your line work, I look forward to seeing this one finished.

Finished this last week. I'm starting to ink my drawings

>>2456328
Yep, this looks good. Are you that guy who does figures with weird proportions? Maybe you should do less figures because this is great.

>>2452419
Still learning on Digital art, did a sketch of Lupin the 3rd's face.

Should I keep going and add color?

>>2457267
>>2457267
add legs pls

>>2453185
Why not just trace the entire thing if you are going to do that?

>>2457273
How is this?

>>2453057
Right one's horns with middle one's beard.

did a drawing

>>2457453
Is this what you draw when you don't feel like applying yourself

>>2457474
yup. everyone liked that still life so i was lazy today.

>>2457291
values not bad, her anatomy is fucked up, completly, cast shadow is strange, where do you live btw?

WIP
Critiques are welcome

>>2455954
Push your values a bit my dude

>>2457796
I'm from spain

Eh, some glaring fuck ups but overall I dig how it came out.

>>2458175
Other recent one, much different mood.

Im new in drawing. I drew/sketched this one but i appreciate if anyone can help me draw a better one of this so I can redraw it as a reference

i did the same pose again but a bit more abstracted... i need to learn a new face

>>2458387

You are so fucking creepy

>>2458088
thanks man
