/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

1/2 things I did yesterday. The closest wing is in fact shorter, because the perspective distortion is too strong. Is it bad to cheat this way? What should I do in principle?

2/2 Started with more realistic colors, then pushed them to make it more interesting. Any crits on colors/composition...? (the lineart will be fixed)

>>2563346
>i just wanted to go on a nice fly

and again...

bleeh. I think her face looks a little weird.

Also she's not doing a retard dance, she's going to be plucking feathers from her wings n stuff

I feel like i learnt alot with this.

Dont think im gonna finish this, but Any notes would be great.

>>2563407

>>2563361
Why do I never see your stuff finished on the social media? I subbed to you but are always missing out on notifications man

>>2563357
some parts of this remind me of aeon flux

>>2563575
3/3

Started a illustration project and managed to render it pretty well, but then learned here that I really suck at composition, so I watched a bunch of videos, read some articles and tried doing a few thumbnails.
Here's my first attempt at a scene using the principles I learned. Will make the branching tunnels look less repetitive when I render it, but does the general structure work?

>>2563573
Cool style and nice colors, but would prefer to see more contrast in the values / saturation.

>>2563519
I've been doing a lot of commissions for the last year, most of which I can only post when they say so. Especially the last 4 months. I've done like 6 pictures and only been able to post 2.

Trying a new technique that involves creating brushes on the fly to quickly build texture/volume, thoughts?

>>2563347
I love this! The only thing is your shadows are inconsistent - shadows on the frogbot are much darker than shadows on the tank and sand, even though their bases seems to be roughly the same value.

>>2563910
B-blog?
>>2563357
I like your desing

Excatriate on deviantart.

I don't really socialize so all I got is a dA with 6 watchers to post my crap on.

>>2563916

>>2563910
Thanks! I'll keep it in mind, in fact I just checked the values after posting it (and saw that they need a bit of work).

I like your things, but I feel like you should try to finish them more.
Everything is so loose, like This should be a thumb for a real painting.

The textures are pretty cool, but you should use them where they make sense. For example those square shapes for sand seem out of place.

love these 80's style.
Right one is photo study.

Still looking for some of you family who draw with oils. first try.

>>2563990
second try, completely from imagination.

>>2563992
shit

>>2563910
You may have realized this already but like the other anon said, your values are holding you back. If you were to lighten the sky quite a lot you'd give yourself much more value range to work with on the structure and sand. In general, the sky should always be a few shades lighter than anything else in the picture. Right now your sand is brighter than most of the sky and it creates this weird artificial look to everything.

>>2563346
push the motion on those bears, they would look so much more dynamic if you pushed their line of action.
>>2563361
the individual parts look good, but as a whole the piece is awkward. work on harmony, spend more time focusing on your composition and movement before you put details in.
>>2563407
i actually really enjoy your rendering, your strokes fit the form really well. i like the nose especially. something is off with his cranium though.
>>2563576
not sure how to feel about this, you don't really get any information about the character from her clothes. i mean i think she's an old lady.. ? she looks really old lady in the face but her body is untouched by gravity.
>>2563987
love these, the hatching is so neatt! make sure you don't rush too much though, because laziness really shows through hatching. i want to say the right one is really strong but there's a few spots that carelessness really brings it down. ie) the hands, the thing they're balanced on, and some general scratchiness in your outlines. keep on keepin on dude !!

>>2563585
Bit too messy to critique I guess. I'll make clearer thumbnails in photoshop when I get home to my cintiq.

>>2564014
Nope, I didn't notice! That's a good tip, thanks.

did another 3 studies today.
happy with top left, the other 2 went to shit.

>>2564230

By far the best one

Entry for Runescape drawing competition

>>2564249
Really fucked up proportions
It looks like you were darwing this with a very flat angle to the paper

>>2564259
Do you not have a scanner?
It'd be a shame to have such a good drawing be wasted on this bad quality photo
I love the hatching

>>2564259
Makes me nostalgic for Asheron's Call.

>>2563903
I like how this looked before.
For the other side i wanna paint like this

idontknowwhattosayaboutthis
some thing i drew

>>2564451
Nice colors, nice illustration in general, but shit anatomy that reeks of symbol drawing.
You should also improve the rendering of the wings; either in a stylized or realistic way, doesn't matter, but now it looks amateurish/lazy.
If you improve the two points (anatomy...) it could be a really good illustration. Don't be discouraged if it sounds harsh.

Here a work in progress
still needs polish shadows, lightnings, background, etc
How i am on my progress?

>>2564451

I very like the concept and you trying to use visuals to add to narrative and composition.

That being said, there's few things I don't understand. Why one hand is in skin tone not close at all to the white of the torso? With black it works because you can descent into it from any color, but that skin tone on other hand is major clash. Also edges of color with background are too sharp. I'd redo the hand with something close to white-blue maybe, like on the wing.

Pink crosses/swords are nice trick to guide the eye, but they don't meet in one point and viewer is confused about perspective and arrangement of them. I'd rework angles at which those swords are placed for quick fix.

There's also something about legs that I can't pinpoint. Maybe how they are placed in regards to pelvis. Idk, maybe if they'd be raised an bend a bit there would be more 3D and dynamics to gesture, but I'm not sure.

Overall I like it much, but there are issues that are major clash to the eye. Also would like to see it polished for few hours more, like face and those legs.

>>2563739
Ah alright, then I'll wait

>>2564456
>>2564464
thank you! id rather have honest critique than just empty praise, haha
I'll see how i can work the advice into my drawing! its always good to get another set of eyes for this stuff

>>2563360
this has the potential to be the next merc wip.

>>2564029
Thank you anon. This is the first time I've tried to paint """"realistic"""". Could you elaborate on the cranium?

>>2563361
>Also she's not doing a retard dance, she's going to be plucking feathers from her wings n stuff
Even knowing what she (doesn't look like a she btw) is doing, I don't see it. I would have her holding a feather in her right hand like she just plucked it from her left wing, with some more feathers floating around. If she's pulling off a lot, have a frayed section on her wing.

Trying to remember how to paint (on a commission no less) + I don't know how to do animals.

>>2564501
The guy wants basically want this, except his dog (also shit reference).

Some advice would help, especially since I have less than a week left

>>2564501
Snout is too short and round. Shibas are deceptively long and pointy.

I'm very shit, but I'm bored. Ask me to draw something and i'll do my best lol

>>2564508
what do you hate doing

>>2564501
snout is too high, it makes it look like a cat

>>2564508
draw a confused boner

>>2564501
Blockout the basic forms of the skull in the desired perspective. No details, no colors just focus on the forms looking right.
Work on this the hardest.
Next you think of the skin around the mouth. Where do the muscles tug on it, how does it wrap around the skull, where are the wrinkles.

>>2564509

>>2564647
It looks pretty goofy to have such a big suit over a small guy like that. Also, have you drawn the man underneath? The way you set this up makes his shoulders look ridiculously wide.

It's really great. You are very creative and open minded. I would leave it as it is. The body is beautiful. Don't listen to people who aren't creative like you. Listen to yourself.

trying to work on my values and my first time using a color layer

>>2564836
Is it bait or are you that retarded?
He's happy to get advice to get better, why do you have say shit like that?

dunno what the fuck im doing tbqh

sketches for the community challange on lavaflake.

>creature lifecycle
>will be updated

crits&suggestions appriciated!

>>2564933
Cool colors, you seem to be hesitant with the somewhat pointillist approach and your shapes. What do you want to do with this?

Where can we see more of your work?

>>2564945
nicely drawn! The design however is stupid af. That 1 big tooth looks retarded.

>>2564946
thanks, yeah i see what you mean. Im just trying to get better at this sort of landscape which I struggle with
more work at
http://kalisdevals.com

>>2564950
thanks, i'll keep that in mind. maybe two front teeth ha?

>>2564945
what's the functional reasoning behind the one big tooth? you know that you gotta think of these things. also aside from more defined skull structure/bigger mouth there isn't much difference between child/adult.

>>2564954
Oh it's you again ^^
I didn't recognize your style...
Man, every time I love your art.

What do you want to do with it? You should bring it to a more finished stage, it's a cool piece.

>>2564966
thank man i appreciate it
and yeah i dunno, i sort of hit a brick wall with it where i thought "what do I do next"
this is one of my first attempts at this kind of scene so maybe i'll get better with more tries, I guess

>>2564967

Still don't know what you really want to achieve so I can't really give you any crit. I like this kind of scenes with a slower read, there's no real POI so it lets the eye wander around in a more contemplative way. The mood goes well with this feel.

Well I'll be waiting to see your next scenes then.

>>2564965
its my first attempt on drawing creatures and truly i didn't think anything about purpose of the one big front tooth. but as i draw i imagine that this big tooth can grab things, move like arm or something..

i'll keep theese in mind, thanks.
sorry for my poor english

>>2564980
thanks famiglia

trying out limited palettes in digital painting

>>2564992
Interesting, keep working on it

Need some Advice on the hair coloring
Originally it was all purple since that is what it was when I first drew the character but now I'm not so sure.

Any thoughts?

Pay no mind to the body It is just there to illustrate the other colors on her body.

Almost done outlining one of my sketches

>>2563361
>a retard dance
lol
the hands are beautiful though
>>2563573
super weird question but have you ever played magical starsign an ancient DS game? bc your designs remind me of the clothes from it
favorite for the first outfit is third pic, favorite for second outfit is second pic, and favorite for third outfit is first pic
>>2563990
buttcheek shoulders are gone :D lookin much better
>>2564249
love your shadows/hair/face
>>2564803
first of all i really like this but there are some things that i think can be improved on
-i love the abstract background but it is very messy strokewise and that kind of distracts from it. but if that's what you're going for that's fine
-the anatomy on her her pelvis is mighty fucked
-the position/physics of the breast on the right is fucked up
were you trying to emulate a certain artist?
>>2565066

>>2565108
>buttcheek shoulders are gone :D lookin much better
Haha, ya

>>2565108
Thank you so much for your wonderful critique! I must agree with all you said. I was aiming for a modern Gauguin. I likr Erik Jones' abstract figurative paintings

>>2564982
No worry. Just thinking about the functionality of things makes your whole concept a lot easier to understand and is most of the time fun.

cant hatch

>>2564992

Painting of the day, still going with a sci-fi theme

>>2565139
you're welcome, dude! i just checked out erik jones' stuff and damn, i really like them :D did you do other stuff like this?

>>2565216
excatriate.deviantart.com, I already linked it earlier in the thread lol

These don't take a lot of time to make, it's mostly using custom-made brushes to build textures and then a bit of cleanup.

It works great for sci-fi but I wanna experiment and put it in more organic settings next.

>>2565219
lmao, if you think that's bad, check out this bitches tiny gimp leg and bizarrely huge hand.

people are so diversely shaped lol.

>>2565231
fucking christ you think i didn't understand you were trying to use foreshortening? news flash: your foreshortening in that piece i replied to isn't successful. your guy's right arm and leg just look deformed. i think it's due to the placement/shape of the foot but i'm not sure how to tackle the arm.

>>2565239
>undermeme poster
>relevant opinion

Pick one

>>2565251
Okay you just continue having shitty art f a m

>>2564647
my question is why is the file name "astronaut in sandwich"

>>2565257
he's clearly holding a hoagie

>>2565239
>>2565213
i agree with this anon, the foreshortening and pose needs to be improved. like you have a lot of good stuff going on in the torso, but the pose has no movement and the foreshortening just looks like stumpy limbs. its really awkward that his torso is facing straight, but with one leg swung significantly back, in the photo you posted of the girl with her limbs foreshortened, she is leaning forward to counter balance the leg that is behind her. my advice would be to re evaluate the pose, and continue to practice foreshortening.

>>2565239
Yeah, I thought you didn't understand because you're posting like a retard.

but yeah i'll work on the foreshortening, thanks for the critique.

arm was reffed but could have been done more accurately.

>>2565255
>>2565251
not me

either way, learn to post better constructive criticism rather than weird snarky comments.

Wondering what I could do to make this comp better. It's just a fat cthulhu thing crawling out of the swamp or something.

>>2565258
but anon.. the astronaut is not in the sandwich
>astronauta_en_bocadillo.jpg
it should be astronauta y bocadillo

since im nitpicking this hard on the file name i guess im obligated to crit lol. i would reccomend using less black to show darker calues. even metal has varied hues from blue to green to red, and especially in the face try to avoid black, because it makes figures look very corpse like. i do like your use of the yellow to red to brown in the skin tone however. just continue to work on pushing your values. the best rendered part of this piece are the pipes on the helmet of the suit imo, the worst would be the shoulders and neck.
keep up the good work, its a cute piece.

>>2565273
me wen i get out of bed in the morning
>>2565264
fuck sorry dude i thought you were the other poster and i was like "aight this person can't take crit so theres no point". sorry i'm a dick. aside from the foreshortening shit the torso and head look really good

>>2565282
ja feel, no problem.

might just change the legs entirely, was going for a kind of floaty angelic post before, but might be better to have it more grounded.

still not sure how to correct the arm because i feel like it matched the reference ok?

>>2565273
The composition looks solid, I don't think there's much you can do without completely changing your camera angle or something similar that'd involve redrawing the whole thing.

Putting in a background and some foreground elements will help it look more dynamic once you get around to it.

Critique on composition? Anything stylized incorrectly? Issues overall?

>>2565309
Yeah, that's pretty much what I figured. Thanks.

>>2565290
Id say that is perfect

>>2565273
You have great spacial awareness

>>2564598

>>2563585
This is actually really cool.I get weird with a pencil the same way you do.

>>2565290
I hope you don't mind the redline. I tried to work out why the foreshortening doesn't feel right. I think it's because a foreshortened object needs to be accompanied by a relative increase in scale. I increased the scale of the hand and the spear head and I altered the direction of the spear to be the same perspective as your reference to make the foreshortening more apparent.

>>2565168
It's pleasant. Are you going to crosshatch the feeder?

>>2565273
Started detailing the face and body.

>>2565412
Thanks, hope I can carry that through the whole piece.

>>2565419
very helpful, thanks m8

I'm working on planes of the head

>tfw I'm not gonna make it ;-;

>>2565433
Is it pissing itself

Haven't drawn anything in a month. The shading looks like ass right now, but that's probably due to it being unfinished. Also I went full retard and positioned the bass in such a way that there's probably no way for her to hold it without her right arm looking broken (at least not at my ablility level).

Should I just start this one over?

>>2565212
Yes, I also did this in abstract style.

>>2565446
Lol I'm guessing you're looking at that blank space at the bottom? I moved his leg over and didn't fill in the water.

>>2565448
You could maybe save it by having the guitar strapped to her back, then do whatever you feel with the other arm. But yeah I don't think you could her holding that guitar to look natural.

>>2565387
The pose could be more interesting by making use of that idle arm, otherwise its pretty alright.

I never post in this thread

>>2565459
Needs to go on a diet as well

>>2565442
Nice

>>2565471
Well done especially on the nose eyes and lips

>>2565468
Left it alone for a while and came back to it. Some of the proportions are off. Idle arm doesn't attach properly either. ty

How do i finish this?

>>2565580

Here is another painting. That was Frank Auerbach style. This is Shin Kwangho style.

>>2565387
Looks great.

>>2565851
not even close, what the fuck. You failed everything that makes his work. Throwing random colors on a outlined face isn't Kwangho's thing.

>>2565877
In what way? You don't know much about his works it seems. He made many different kinds of paintings. Tell me what I did wrong. Plus, it's my unique take on Shin Kwangho. The last thing I want to do is copy another artist.

Be careful what you say. I am Shin's friend.

>>2565710
MAKE HIM LOOK SLIMY

>>2565884
>That was Frank Auerbach style. This is Shin Kwangho style.
>The last thing I want to do is copy another artist.

>>2565900
Style inspired by but not copied?

I have no interest in copying another artist's work. I believe it's better to be inspired and to offer one's unique take on their style or vision. In other words, I will not try to steal another artist's trademark style. Sorry for the confusion.

>>2565904
Cool another retard.

>>2565907
You throw out a bunch of retarded claims and insults then walk away like pathetic loser. Better to keep mum next time, buddy.

>>2565919
I'm not him, but to spell things a bit more clearly for you: "taking a style" is copying a style. What you do is not "inspiration", it's something an algorithm can do (check the neural network that do that, it's cool). Which is, in itself, not bad at all, it's just a master study with one more layer of difficulty.

The other thing that might be bothering him is that you're copying it at a superficial level without really understanding it. Which is, again, fine, if you don't start pretending "i am grate artisit rispect plz".

And last thing is that style looks a lot like a way to hide lacking fundamentals, which shows. It's ok, we are all learning, but stop with the retarded attitude.

Pencil drawing I did. I flipped and mirrored it.

>>2565950
Don't insist on something I never did or intended. I was inspired by their styles. I did not copy.

It's neither superficial nor a copy.

And I do have the fundamentals down, plus I did not try not to hide nothin.
Again, tell me what I did wrong rather than leaving insults and baseless claims on superficial level. Oh wait you can't.

>>2565993
I'm going to do like the other guy and give up, since you don't reply to the argument.
But with that attitude, you're not gonna make it.

>>2565985
>flipped and mirrored it.
we know.

>>2566006
Yes keep mum rather than claiming to know what I intended to do and basing all your insults on that. You still did not share with me what kind of brilliant understanding you have of Shin Kwangho that I am lacking. Whatever, fly away and mind your own business

>>2565993
yo neither of the others, but can you post something representational to show your mastery of fundamentals? Would be appreciated.

side view of the leg is your favorite shape, huh?

Im pretty unconfident at anatomy so I would appreciate a redline on this.

>>2565593
Aaaaah you're still at this... i think you posted this well over a month ago and it didn't look terribly different. There's still a problem with scale.
I did some tweaks. I forgot to do it but you'll have to raise up all the other horsemen or make them much smaller if you want to keep the illusion they are racing toward this giant thing that's pretty far away.

i think i posted a sketch of this the other day, added some other poses, don't think im gonna paint it, maybe some shadows idk.

>>2566436
You're not far off, you just need to work on your joints. That should be a focus. Really learn how the arms/legs/shoulders etc bend and how the muscles operate around those areas. You can have all the knowlege in the world about how the muscles of a torso or a forearm work but if you don't know how to draw a joint that looks like it's not going to break at the slightest touch you've wasted your time.

You lucky son of a bitch

Character from an animation I'm working on for class.

Interesting, how you did it kind of removes the substantial feel of a real object but if that's what you're going for it's certainly enjoyable to look at.

Keep the one tooth. Looks more distinctive

>>2566702
I really, really like this image, Anon. I recommend a(n) blue/indigo/orange border

>>2565108
nope but i might have to pick up a copy now it looks right up my alley

>>2566666
nice quints

>>2564014
I don't know, I think the sky just makes it look higher elevation, less atmosphere

did some traditionals for a few people

>>2566301
it's traditional color pencil

>>2566620

help me out with this composition senpai. poses can change, but id like to keep the general vision/idea the same. ignore helmet on the right.

dunno desu

in my feelings doodle

Been playing around with color harmony.

>>2567092
Why are you posting at this hour? Weekend?
Where is your next scene desu?

>>2567094
You mean color conflict.

>>2566259
neat

If anyone could help with a redline for this i'd be grateful. Any outright anatomy issues or problems with the clothing folds. It's a commission , so the style has to be mostly true to reference, mind. I really don't like the left hand but have no ideas what else to do with it.

>>2567298
If I read well, you're asking somebody to work for free for something you're paid to do?

>>2567308
It's not a paid commission, I never stated that. I'm not asking for a complete rehaul, I'm just asking for some pointers.

WIP

>>2567125
W-what?

>>2567317
you mean a request you retard? Stop drawing for free you gain nothing from it.

>>2567363
Sorry, 1st time posting. In the past I've had people trying to correct stylistic choices, which was not what I was after. I was unsure of how to word my post.

It's a gift for a friend, if they weren't, of course I would charge.

Here's a troll I'm working on, wondering if I should add watercolor to it but I'm so afraid ill fuck it up.

>>2567452
left leg looks clumsily done. Especially the foot. Also, dont be afraid to be bold! This is good, and you did it once, you can do it again. Probably even better, since you learned from doing it the first time.

>>2567456
Thanks, ill work on it.

>>2567344
These kinds of plays with colors and textures look good, but you're not challenging yourself are you? It looks like something you'd do to relieve stress.
Also I feel it's hesitating between a more 'fine art' look and a more concept-ish feel. Maybe the source of your 'dunno'?

is this a good sketch?

futuristic Greco-Roman Super Sports : Basketball

>>2567509
yeah it was more a technique experiment than anything. thanks senpai

>>2567551
please post more

>>2567551
This is really nice, would love to see a more detailed piece in this style.
Also resize next time.

>>2567544

any crit welcome

>>2567556
I did this, >>2566702 yesterday. Same hatching style but much bigger with some watercolor and gold paint tossed in.
No idea why my phone made the Lovecraft pic so big.

>>2567551
I know that face...

>>2567729
Bingo.

Somebody kill me

>>2567731
You have any more lovecraftian themed stuff? Something in line with your first pic but with tentacles and shit would go pretty well together...

>>2567735
If you took some of the neck on the yellow shirt guy and put it on the goggles guy...

>>2567735
muddy palette

>>2567735
Overall not bad, but your colors are pretty shit. Focus more on values, paint in b&w and cover a wide range, from black to white.

I've recently started to widen the scope of thought in my creative process.

I used to just think about the shapes
>(draw the nose, the hand goes there, five fingers, etc.)

now I'm trying to think in terms of the scene.
>(sleepy guy at table, dude on couch, dark interior, etc.)

It's a lot more mentally taxing but i think i'm onto something..

My theory is that if i can get used to drawing with a wider scope of thought, then i can crank out elaborate scenes much faster, with the end result being able to crank out something elaborate without straining myself.

>(A 78-year old man looking at the cityscape of Chicago through his hospital window at 6PM in the Fall,)
>(A man outside sculpting a statue of a Gorgon that's facing north, with the cast shadows pointing at such an angle that you could easily figure out the time of day if you felt like it)
>(hyperbolic, autistic, third example)

I've probably gone insane..

>>2567758
Thats alot of talk for some shitty colouring

Crab boy.

>>2567822
dude... please add more detail to your drawings, you always leave me wanting more

She's using the feathers from her wings to make weirdo magic circles that swirl around her and behind her a big "war beast" is barging through a giant castle door.

I don't know, don't really have any questions. Validate my existence.

Made this yesterday, I'm just starting to shade my drawings. Thoughts?

Rate?
>lined paper
That's the only thing I have at the moment, sorry.

>>2567889
Please tell me you're under 15

>>2567822
Is it cool to render other people's line-art here?
P sweet work

>>2567089
probably have to do 2 more passes after i finish the this one.

>>2565710
i'm really loving this, you have a blog with more work?

wip

>>2567998
Needs more needs more contrast cause it's looking pretty flat
More dynamic lighting too

>>2568007
did some layer adjustments for now, will work from it

>>2567833
Being lazy sucks. I was thinking of putting more detail, but didn't :c

>>2567908
You want to render my artwork? You can, I don't mind. Just give credit to me on tumblr or whatever.

>>2568018
Idk if you have astigmatism or my glasses for astigmatism are over correcting.

Anyway, She looks very wide here

>>2564451
legs

just fuck me up
im leaving the chest as big as it is though

Monkey man.

>>2568187
do you ever draw lewds?

There is going to be a fireball above her hand

>>2568195
Nope.

>>2568077
u tryna foreshorten his arm or is he just that swole

>>2567635

Proportions of upper body are fucked in regards to legs.

Perspective is bigger problem though - you even wanted to desperately fix it and this is why your hands look really bad.

Work out on perspective and see anatomy of a joint between shoulders and arms because they simply don't connect in your drawing.

So generally - draw a lot of arms but in perspective. Try those exercises where you draw flipped view or rotated one.

How is it?
My previous drawing was wrong and the paper shredded whenever I tried to fix it so it pissed me a bit. So I 'm doing something different

>>2568244
A little bit of both. His arm's supposed to almost go down to his hooves.
also hes swole as fuck

Morning lizard.

>>2568290

Nice textures and stuff. The wires and components bit looks oddly flat though.

>>2568408
I tried to give them volume, maybe I should add more shading on it

>>2568254
Thanks a lot.

>>2568443
I disagree. I don't think the wires and components need more emphasis. In my opinion, it would look look too much.

WIP.
I'm having troubles with his right arm, because I want it to show but It always looks weird

Please don't be too harsh on me.

I know I completely fucked up the lighting since it should be coming from below with the book as the light source, so no need to point that out anymore.

>>2568242
:(

>>2568564
The lighting is not disturbing, the neck however looks broken.

>>2568564
Her neck looks snapped... I hope she lives.

>>2568598
How should I fix this? As far as I know, heads are able to turn that far; I often fail at making the neck work along with it, however.

>>2568550
So what's should I do or have done?

Ok, I'm done with this

A quicker one, fucked up composition again

>>2567545

>>2568741
Hmm, checked your blog, I've rarely seen somebody put out things that look stellar and things that look really shit.

I really loved the girl above the lotus thing you did. It's fantastic.

This thing on the other hand look incredibly amateurish. Like nothing is right. You should probably filter out the bad things, it dramatically lowers how good you seem to be.

>>2568236
Lineart

>>2564903
dat butt

>>2565387
I love the face.

It feels kinda dull but i sort of like it , idk.

>>2569231
Is this supposed to be kiki?

>>2568786
Yeah, that's what I feel like right now. Probably got to do something with a personal hiatus I'm in and I can't invest a lot of thought into my artwork because I'm kinda distracted.
Thanks for the reality check, I guess I just needed to hear that.

>>2569550
You're not making progress very fast.
But worse, I feel that v3 looked better than v5, it seemed to have more potential because your rendering is quite weak.

But before all that you should start over the buildings and things in proper perspective. Like the car in the front, it looks horrible. But all buildings look incorrect.

That said, I like the comp, even if it feels a bit cramped, it could be a great piece.

>>2569431
Don't forget that your portfolio is only as good as the worst piece it contains. This is fine if you post something like this on /ic/, just don't post it on your blog/watermark it. Or have a second one for practice.
It wasn't really meant to be harsh, I love many of your pieces.

>>2569231
Love it, but you should fix the drawing a bit. Small head giant man hands, what the fuck happened to her neck.

>>2569660
Well, I just logged into dA again and the artwork was received better than the majority my other stuff. I'm really confused now about where that came from. Doesn't change the problem, though and no, you weren't too harsh. I really took it seriously as an advice and I think you're right.
I'm in a very troubled state these days and it made me think that I maybe have to make a change how I approach my art. And who I am doing this for.

I don't think you know but you red-pilled me today and it is good you did.
Thanks anon

>>2568903
ochen mertso, sukublyadok

>>2569775
Disgusting

>>2569596
thanks anon ill make changes to the perspective/ work on my rendering! Unfortunately i only get to work on it like once a week

Feel like this piece has potential but its still real rough and I've hit a roadblock.

What do I do /ic/?

>>2570015
wat to you want to do wit it?

>>2569596
>>2569550
better?

>>2564503
I hope he's paying you at least 400 dollars

>>2564803
at first glanse i thought she was jerking off

>>2570104

Ideally have it be a portfolio piece.

>>2570198
Try to give some space to the buildings. Push things a bit farther and pay close attention to atmospheric perspective.
Be careful with for example the size of the tree on the turtle, bigger than an entire castle.

You can also push the colors and values a bit.

>>2570335
I'll be nice this once.
When you say this, you say nothing. Portfolio for what?
Anyway, the question was about the image. It is supposed to be an illustration, concept, storyboard? Is it supposed to be painted, stylized?
