This composition is lacking. Look up the Rule of Thirds, and The Golden Ratio. Composition is an important fundamental.

about to continue on these

>>2651531
my stuff is always lacking. Post ur latest work bro

>>2651536
looking good bra

>>2651536
Love your stuff on tumblr. Keep being awesome. cant wait to see the others!

took a break for a month, gonna get back in it in a week or so (this is from a month ago i think)

>>2651540
>>2651539
thanks guys lol. any ideas for the next ones? I might do a more extreme perspectives on the next ones

havent worked for while, gonna get into it again in a week or so

>>2651537

>>2651550
you could have the subject centered. like a tree on a hill er some thing.

>>2651553
dat air brush.

I call it

"getting punished for painting before drawing/designing so things don't take a billion hours" might as well be separate compositions at this point

>>2651558
these are beautiful.

>>2651552
close up on the elfs

>>2651558
good shit man

>>2651558

are you ok?

>>2651573
YES c: Feel I'm learning a decent amount. excited to finish up and start on a new one though

werd. anyone just crushing out little 25 min paintings?

>>2651565
got anymore? these are sick man

>>2651578

Well, its looking pretty good so far, Im sure the next one will be even better. Cheer up and be well!

>>2651558
got anymore shterf? these are sick man

>>2651584
most everything else is thumbnailing/speedpaints/much worse, but knock yourself out:

>>2651587
I'd say that is pretty above average archive. very nice figures.

>>2651553
Is that a giant bee, holy shit.

>>2651599
It's going to be a machinegun turret. One is facing the viewer head on, and the other off at an angle.

Working on a comic for fun.

>>2651524
Been working on this for a friend of mine. Here's the head.

by Chum

werd.cool stuff guys. I'm making a card game, been smashing little speed paintings out all day,since art is not really the main focus, they're no more than 2 hours each, plus there's going to be around 200 cards.

>>2651843
looks interesting.

>>2651882
majestic as fuck.

I'm starting to hate this

>>2651524
looks really cool!

posting some sketches to my biggest fan

>>2652027
fucking gay ass faggot hands he's got right there

>>2652176
I am laughing so hard about how utterly gutting this comment is. This is the kind of comment that makes people think they aren't going to make it.

>>2652027
Bruh. Look at this dude. Look at his hands. Look a his SHOES! Oh no no no no no.

>>2652027
The crystal is on the same tangent as the cave opening. Move the stick so the crystal is in the dark area in the top left. Next make that part of the cave wall the darkest area of the image.

Check your light source, where would the shadows really be. Don't be afraid of them. They'll probably make your character more interesting and believable.

You can let that crystal be a secondary light source, either reflecting/refracting the outside light, or with its own glow, to give a neat side light giving your character more depth.

The arms and hands have odd proportions, kinda miniaturized, but that will come with practice.

some more robots.

>>2651531
man this site gives the worst advice sometimes. its a basic fucking character design exersize. theres literally no composition to be had

>>2652027
give this man a paint over!

I suck.

I suck

>>2652324

Naw. You don't suck. Interesting concept. I can see you're still putting in values. finish that puppy.

Another. 45 min whip it.

>>2652364
And I want to be a concept artist. Fuck I've got a long way to go.

Thanks, I guess.

Drawing water for the first time ever.

>>2652365
Keep going though. I'm a completely new guy and whatever but you'll one day look back and be so happy you continued honing your skill. And don't fucking dare disagree with me or I'll punch you in the dick.

>>2652381
Well this is the first time I've tried something perspective heavy.

This work I've done is okay but perspective wise its all over the place.

>>2652365
>>2652364
Read some Robertson for the basis and watch Ctrl+Paint for technique
I think you will improve immediately.

>>2651524

my existance is pain

>>2652418
Why does she have two daggers?
Isn't an assassin supposed to wear inconspicuous clothes?

>>2652431

I was basing this off of the Towergirls character.

Technically it's "finished" but I want to work more on the face here and a bit the shadows on his right leg, its kinda off. Can't get myself to start again :D

i haven't digitally painted in just short of a year so i'm trying to get back into it, it's not supposed to be any special piece. just a portrait of how i think diana prince would look in the 1920s glamour scene. i'm going to draw a top (so her bust will definitely be fixed), i'm just not sure if it should be her breast plate or a slinky dress.

>>2652731
That mimic and some thumbnails for a character design. Just been switching back and froth between the two. This will probably be my last traditional drawing for awhile, since I recently got a tablet and wanna move into digital art.

I want to kill myself, but I will finish this.

Feel free to give some feedback, it's desperately needed.

>>2652753
Forgot pic

colour-sketch for a bigger painting i plan on doing

>>2652375
its a nice stylized water, i would suggest googling ocean waves and just water in general. find a couple images you like and paint the fuck outa them!

>>2652385
i like it, i saw you post this earlier in a "are you ever gonna be as good as your idol" thread.

honestly i think you have a nice style and i like looking at your artwork, keep up the good work fambalambapai!

>>2652443
transgender wonder women, i think her name is kaitloon/bruce gener, AKA Ruse Gender!

>>2652736
I also recently started painting/drawing digital, i think its actually alot esier man. you got ctr+z and blend tools and lassos, layers, lighting, color palettes, millions of brush's (if you want'em), shift = straight line!, etc... its really crazy how many tools you have at your disposal, i'm kinda overwhelmed!

>>2652881
Same here I normally don't color much so I've got a whole new world of shit to learn. I've only did some studies and doodles so far, I've tried 3 full drawings so far but they turned up meh. You got anything I can see? (ya can just link it.)

>>2652873
Thanks, I've still got a long way to go but its nice to see some praise despite my medicore work.

Good luck to you to anon.

just a stupid doodle based on a retrospectively hilarious nightmare i had

Character for my current superhero game, issue is the tip on my note 3 stylus broke so have to wait til replacements can come in the post.

>>2652962
resized sry

>>2652966
Looks interesting, I'm liking the sword design.

>>2652987
Thanks, I kind of wanted it to be a big force field that holds matter compressed into a plasma state. So basically a big club with alot of mass.

>>2652765
Needs something to break up their figures. Otherwise they look like siamese twins.

>>2652388
Honestly I don't think I can improve anymore lol. I've read so much about color and lighting bla bla bla. now all i can do is enjoy process as much as possible.

the thing i am working on rn
the "im drawing another person standing around" meme is real

>>2652443
why do people want to draw like sakimichan
anon its not too late to change your ways

>>2653002
Thank you anon, will do! the guy raising the gun is doing so with a silver arm, so that will look more reflective and use lighter values after I paint it, which should break their silhouettes up.

>>2653074
Still better than 90% of ic though.

>>2653094
not even gonna disagree
but most people are better than /ic/ so that doesnt say too much

in all seriousness. How do you fucking know if your work is good? Is this just an on going never ending struggle for every artist? I'm sure every artist hates his artwork,most of it anyway.

>>2653137
pretty much fäm

>>2652388
all you need is a james gurney book and your set. fuck all these entrepreneur faggots just graduating from school and with their gay ass v neck t shirts selling these bull shit lessons online, ripping people off.

>>2652418
there is a certain portion of quality to this illustration. the anatomy needs more style and flow. This has a very vintage anime style. colors are good. The line work is good,it's a bit scratchy replicating traditional media. meh not man. Keep it up.

>>2653213
>meh not man

meh not bad*

>>2653074
so anyone who draws with a semirealistic style vaguely animoo style is sakimichan now

>>2652940
is that a whale with cybernetic legs?

>>2652385
Last two remind me of Tal Rasha's chamber, looks cool.

>>2653294
Druid. Good times.

>>2652031
thanks!

>>2653070
you can do better.

>>2651775
you have to post more man. Wtf haha that looks pro.

>>2653168
>all these entrepreneur faggots just graduating from school
Ctrl+Paint is a good start in learning how to make best use of digital media.

>>2652027
Are the arms and hands ok? Also somebody said that his shoes were wrong or something but I don't know what

first time trying to put a character in an environment to end my lifelong streak of being lazy.

taking all the critiques.

>>2653744
his gesture suggests that he should be in a boat somewhere in Venice.

>>2653781
your perspective is absolutely fucked man lol. where is your vanishing point? where is our center of vision supposed to be.

>>2653804

i honestly figured that it might be, lol. i did a quick grid to help with figuring that stuff out, but despite learning about perspective at one point, i have never quite figured out how to apply it...

No.

>>2652324
i really like it and kinda can see it finished, don't give up on that

>>2653839
I haven't given up yet.

>>2653843
Looking neat, keep it up

just tweak the pole in the bottom right, it seems a little off

the rest is really okay

sorry for bad english, im just italian

>>2653814
then you didn't really learn then anon. i advise determining if you want you picture in one point, 2 point or 3 point perspective. so you can better setup your perspective.

my example is in 1 point for simplicity. Anything above the center of vision you see the bottom of. anything below you see the top. Simple.

I circled the 2 squares at the top, compared to the top of her chair you should not be able to see the tops of those like they currently are.

applying perspective to the human body is simple enough. Break the body down into shapes and put them in perspective like you would a cube

>>2653860
>Break the body down into shapes and put them in perspective like you would a cube.

Not him, but how do you go on this? Loomis' method is overly complicated and doesn't really allows dynamic posing.

>>2653865
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiRFoqX9_Fk
this KJG might be of some interest. he shows building in shapes then goes over with detail.
picture is from Krenz, showing the general shapes and where they point in perspective.

>>2653870
so based on what sides of the cube you see you can get a general idea of where the center of vision/horizon line is at.
If you can, pick up a copy of perspective made easy. it lays things out very nicely before you get into more complicated perspective.

>>2653860
thanks a lot for the direction! i really appreciate it. the center of vision tip is gonna save my life.

>>2653881
Not that anon but remember that everything is situation is 3-dimensionals space and the simplest form of the space is a box.

Everything exists within a box.

>>2653328
Thanks. Just finished the pencil roughs. Getting ready for final pencils now.

>>2653865
Nice thanks for this

anyone have any idea where i can get a reference for this pose? i just want the guy pulling his sword out and his arm to obstruct the hat/face and be more in the foreground. i tried using a mirror but either im a fat fuck with retard scoliosis or its just not a practical way for pulling out a sword

>>2654933
That is impractical. Why would your elbow ever go into your face when drawing a blade? It looks cool though, so keep at it anyways.

>>2654936
i dunno i just wanted that effect real bad but not at the cost of it looking too awkward. thinking maybe he could be drawing his blade up instead of out? for the drawings sake

>>2654933
check out movies like starwars, the last samurai, lord of the rings. you're better off watching movies if you want a specific pose. search of the fight scenes.

>>2654933
samurai jack might have some good shots too.

>>2653744
his toes are pointed in the same direction. tilt his background foot upwards some

>>2654933
looks like fun. The sketch alone looks good enough with out reference. In fact I would have thought you had used reference to create that.

some robot whip its.

>>2652324
You dont suck. All that is between you and the greatness you seek is the patience to love your details.

I couldn't find any good reference for you, but I did make this quick concept based off your sketch.

How's it going so far?

>>2651524
RIGHT NOW its 2 in the morning and Im thinking of handing him the reins

>>2652731
Duuuude. Love the inking. What kinda pen are u using?

by Chum

>>2652858
I really like it! What's it made with ?

>>2655045
Looks dope af

Just adding some last minute color dabs.

>>2655041
this would look good painted.With a Zelda Wind Waker sorta style to it.

I've been working on this, but I'm out of town this weekend, so I can't work on it until Monday.

>>2656079

Oh my god, I'm so tired I forgot to link it...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UqxgrCcA9s

>>2656083
nice!

I feel like the timing of his reaction is too quick. Unless he was quickly awoken with shock, it would make sense, but his gesture suggests he just finished a 12 hour shift.

That's really cool!

>>2651587
Damn this perspective is noiiiiceeeeee
>>2651558
Yess, I'm feeling inspired to actually use perspective more.

>>2656086

Thank you. I'm trying to remember all the little tricks I knew in After Effects. Actual animation's done in photoshop.

Do you think he should hold the "head down" pose a bit longer after the light hits his face?

>>2656110
Yea that's what I mean.

>>2656119
Well I can do that by moving a slider half an inch to the right, so that'd be no trouble to fix.

Oil on canvas, first try using oil.

>>2655044
Oh thanks man, its always nice to get a compliment on my inking. Faber-Castell 4 PITT is the name, I normally use the .7mm and .5mm for the inking and the .3mm for the tiny details. Wish I was better with the brush pen that comes with it though.

>>2656409
>first try using oil.
it needs to be your last

current wip. might add an abandoned house or somethng.

>>2651524

>>2653070

will spend more time planning color and lightning next time.

good stuff

>>2651524

>>2651524
Grinding with this shit

done with this for now. moving on to something else.

>>2660785
So you decided to take out the house eh. Nice job anon. Turned out alright. Time to move on the next one. Good luck.

Just finished. Just need to add some color dabs.

>>2660737
I need to see this completed

>>2651524

Been lazy with this but eh.

OP your comfort zone is showing

>>2660933
It's about damn time, anon.

>>2660815
thanks man. I'd say you should work with the lasso tool/locked layers and clipping groups to sharpen your edges.

also wip

>>2661126
true true. that shits gonna be shrunken down x4 so edges don't really give a damn. I hear ya bra. Lasso tool I only use if I really fucked something up and it has to be moved because I merged a layer too soon. I'd say you're probably right, because I know nothing about art and suck.

>>2652375
This is pretty awesome actually. Don't care for the water though

>>2663508

>blurs the interface anyway

>>2663537
really bad. You know most soldiers who wied a mace and swing it step into the swing. they don't just stand still.

>>2663537
unless he's fighting off fruit flies.

>>2663508
The way you took a screenshot of the program only as an excuse to blur your brush parameters screams
>I got secret brush sauce but won't show

>>2663830
hahaha
it could be C:

>>2663511

It doesn't even save time if you're going to go back and blur all your shit. It's the equivalent of taking a pretentious angled photo with your tools, only worse because the tools are blurry.

>>2664769
Is that you, OP?

yes. it's me. again.

>>2664773
It's really quite impressive and it even maintains aspects of your style. Keep at it and try not to get too comfortable!

Thank you anon. Have a nice day. I will stay away from comfort things.

how about you draw a second archer rather than copy-pasting the first one.

My shitty and messy sketch.
Is the composition decent?

Kinda not liking it.

>>2671840
He's off balance (falling backwards). The weight of the hammer too is not well supported, he should probably be resting it on his shoulder in that pose. I'm not a fan of the proportions you chose, like I get that it's stylized but I don't find the way you did it very appealing...the proportions almost seem chosen at random.

>>2661262
Blog?

>>2671845

> I'm not a fan of the proportions you chose, like I get that it's stylized but I don't find the way you did it very appealing...the proportions almost seem chosen at random.

Yeah, i agree with you about this. Its just a bad sketch that i didnt kenw when to stop to polish it.

Now if I can only make this lineless style look good in practice, and not just stock poses.

>>2671783
Sketch looks alright. The composition is a little hard to see with that resolution. The arm seems like it's out of the shot too much.Her tits look good and the face is cool.

I'm painting another knight. studying reflection colors.

>>2671791
damn, really nice work anon!

blog?

Okay. Need thoughts. I don't even care anon. Lets be honest.

Is art style consistent?

>>2674598
Some are kind of under-detailed, but yeah, consistent

>>2674598
Clown looks out of place since the lights are all just overexposed and there's a white background. None of the others are like that. Grunt's face looks cartoonier than the rest too. Otherwise they look stylistically similar enough.

>>2674602
Okay. I can agree. Some of my reference pics had bad res.

One of the biggest hurdles attempting realism is finding reference.

>>2674610

Damn. It's like your exposing my inner sub conscience. Anon right again. Gonna scrap those ones.

Is painting realism but a state of mind?

>>2674598
I know that the details are painted out on the second archer but they are still so similar to me they read as copypaste (maybe change the silhouette identifiably somehow). other than that I like your paintings

>>2674623
Can be a delicate subject. Requires a lot of focus and discipline. Drifting can easily occur because you stayed in your comfort zone too long. It will clash with your study if you don't focus hard enough. There s nothing wrong with being a pony. I hate that cartoon. I was referring to the catch phrase. One trick pony.

>>2674630
hahahaha. Jezzzuss.

>>2674628
They were copy and pasted. Good eye anon. Digital media has it's pro's, however you just exposed it's overly abused con. Thanks bra

>>2674639
I know digital painters will do this to avoid bashing a photo extensively . they use a fraction of a image and manipulate it to their own knowledge in Photoshop.

>>2674642
They don't usually just copy and paste though because it's too obvious and looks like shit. They'll do things like use the clone stamp tool with various settings on it.

>>2671791

It's so tempting to give up.Working full time to contribute back to society, making the world go round is almost more tempting.

Graffiti will ruin your life. Stop. You're just destroying your potential style development.

>>2664769
>>2664796

Oh I wish I could paint like you, anon

>>2674724
hahaha. No you don't.But you could probably do better than that if you put the time in, I bet.

It's just pain and suffering, honing a craft. It's a journey that never ends and it's overwhelmed with unsatisfactory results. It just goes round and round and round. Never ends.

Why does an artist have the need to paint?

Ye ye I know its a cliché subject but I wanted to draw it so fuck you.

Thoughts?

are those trees? or are they towers? It's not very clear. I can see there's a moon and that it might be raining. Seems a bit rushed.

Next time you paint snow, try not to use desaturated whites or grey. Snow is not white or grey. It can be a variety of color depending on time of day, snow color is sorta parallel to the sky color. Try to work with blue or violet color palette with snow generally.

Working on some posture and color study.

I've always been prone to using way too vibrant of colors, so I went in after the fact and desaturated that image a lot (though I did work in pure greyscale on the snow, so that doesn't really have too much to do with your point I guess.)

If I can ask, what's wrong with the posture? I am fully aware the scale/perspective is off, since I drew the girl and foreground separately and their not particularly at the same angle.

You just answered your own question my friend.

The character is honestly alright. It works with the style. I would only suggest you give her a scarf, it will add more motion to the character and it will compliment the snow flakes falling, that suggest there is wind.
