/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Here's my WIP and reason I made this thread

>>3278410
This is cool. Also, is the OP picture yours too? I like it a lot.

>>3278410
Hiding eyes, that's a new one

I think I got the general color scheme down but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get that harsh lighting effect. Spent the past 3 hours trying to make it work but I'm gonna scrap it and retry. Any pointers?

>>3278476
Now that I think about it, I think I just chose the wrong lighting scheme. I wanted to illuminate most of the face but I realized it's better to have the hard light coming from askew. Gonna play around with it a bit more.

>>3278431
Thanks, and Nope, it's not mine. I just found it on the last thread and I liked it

>>3278406
don't know

>>3278406
>photoshop brushes
Am I retarded or something? Can't find brushes in any of these links.

>>3278476
Start with identifying where there's absolutely no light hitting. Like nearly black ass black. Once you've got some black in there, you'll quickly see how monotone everything is. That monotone-ness is what's stopping you from achieving the lighting you want.

Just did this tonight. It started as an end of the night doodle and turned into an all-nighter. Ah well, I actually feel up enough to do another? Maybe that black and white girl from the study thread? It might be easier than the crab study I'm trying for the other thread. Crit? I'd really appreciate it-

>>3278511
I like it
BR?

>>3279133
Actually just added the sun

drew this girl by the pool. a beacon of hope and perky boobs among a sea of elderly Americans

More than ‘outsider art’

>>3279508
why did you gave her the face of a white colar middle age man tho

>>3279511
It was very nice of your mom to model for you, Illastrat

>>3279512
that was her face idk what to tell you... she had a decent face and a great body. 8/10 would draw again.

>>3279511
Have you ever tried sculpture?

>>3279529
No

>>3279532
do you want to? I'm taking a sculpture class in 2 days. Not like pottery strictly, it's working with my hands from clay not on a wheel.

>>3279537
I’ve done ceramics. I suck.

>>3279538
I haven't done it yet so maybe I suck too

Reworked this with the critique i received it, tried to give it a tad more of a painterly feel hoping to tie it all together more. definitely gonna(need to) practice that more, thanks again for the critique!

>>3279140

>>3279790
Rendering on the clothing folds looks extremely funky and newbish, especially on the right hand side of the cloak and the throne looks like it has some perspective issues, but I like the colours. I also don't think that the crown is reflective enough and feel that the face could use more structure - right now it's soft and pliant like a pile of jelly with no real discernable planes. I don't like the use of white either, maybe try filtering that away.

Otherwise it looks good.

It's more of a little hobby for me, but it doesn't hurt to get good advice.

>>3279865
You are symbol drawing the eyes, learn the anatomy of the face and draw it piece by piece.

>>3279869
I'm not sure what symbol drawing is.

>>3279853
Would make an awesome Dark souls -esque shield.

>>3279853
>>3279856
Fucking cool. Blog?

WIP of this ugly bitch that won't stop moving and chatting

>>3279879
thx m8
containercore.tumblr.com

>>3278406
drew this for a friend

>>3279968
Hey. You were the guy who drew with the mouse right? That sketch looks cool, but I personally prefer when you draw with the 1 pixel paint brush

>>3279853
Looks pretty awesome. what is your process for creating these ones?

>>3279987
Bashing scientific drawings from the public domain. I've started recording my process so I'll put it up on my blog at some point.

>>3279790
Not bad but you've been spending way too much time on this, I saw it in like the last 2-3 draw threads. Your rendering's pretty funky, definitely need to work on edge control. On the plus side, I think the thumbnail is pretty nice, composition looks good to me.

>>3279780
>>3279881
Blog?

>>3280279
looks like naruto fanart, like the shinobi headband and stuff

>>3278406
What do y'all think? I'm trying to work on using strokes to bring out the forms a little better

>>3280279
>Blog?
https://klinckfoster.tumblr.com/

not realy a drawing, those are prints of my drawings I did at uni and adapted them as bookmarks and gave to my family as a xmass gift. Im curious about your opinnion, especially; would you buy something like that?

>>3280279

I'm the standing woman guy

I have posted this one in another thread and a bunch over here >>3280568.

I am new to /ic/ and would like to read your thoughts on my style. Thanks in advance.

Crit please, from previous thread. How do I fix the neck?

>>3280690
Would correct it, but I am not being able to delete the post from my phone.

>>3280701
Fix it with anatomy

>>3280690
I don't really have the right to say it since you're better than me, but none of those have obvious shading or shadows, I think you might be missing out on a lot of depth

>>3280701
first by adding a collar bone to see where the neck is at because there's nothing to show

>>3280429
Imo, really interesting products to sell. Probably a little niche, but giving it a try cannot be bad in any way.

>>3279865
For a hobby, it looks good. It feels as if the eyes were the last thing you drew. Lacking eyelashes, folded eyelids and the eyes look slightly different from each other. I guess you need to work with more references for those.

>>3279871
It's something along the lines of "your brain keeps symbols of what eyes, noses, mouths look like and you draw according to those, instead of learning how those can differ from people to people".

>>3280303
This kills the artist.

What is next? Is this a motherfucking JoJo reference?

>>3280279
If this is truly your work, keep it up.

>>3280751
Thanks. It's laziness. I really dislike shading, but I will push myself forward.

Characters are always quite hard for me. I guess I can get away with mistakes if I render loosely but I would like to improve my construction and perspective. Any pointers are welcome.

>>3280701
The texture is way better now. I think the clavicles need to show if you want to fix the neck. Still not entirely buying the softness of the face. You've got very sharp edges in the hair and chin but the eyes are still out of focus.

>>3280429
Yeah I would. it's very neat. The black one especially.

>>3279881
Nice values and drawing. Love the creepy face. It looks unbalanced as it is. Not enough going on on the bottom right. A ground plane and better feet would help IMO.

>>3279853
Love this. Nice work anon

Werewolf sketch on Procreate, kinda starting to get where I want to be with proportions and design and then I can start sculpting soon.

>>3280904
Super nice work anon, I always struggle with placing characters within environments but I think you’ve nailed it here, looking forward to seeing where you go with it

>>3280279

when shit artist give crits to someone above his/her level...

I cringed

>>3280701
Looking at this scares me. If somebody could articulate why, that would be great.

>>3281040
yeah mang... its embarrassing

i'm of the opinion that you could always use fresh eyes, however this shit reminds me of a girl in highschool that would bully tf out of my art so i get a bit retarded and angry over it. liike stop pretending u know what you're talking about lol

>>3280701
face is wayyy too soft. it's terrifying. like an infant with a grown persons body. i know its hard to do wrinkles bc it can make the subject look to old/ugly or w/e but in this case the softness especially in contrast w the rough ass hair is really not doing you any favors. good work on the shiny lipgloss tho

ill judge ya fags l8r

>>3281191

whats ur angle? i think its too tryhard at being weird XD !

>>3281161

because the subconcious pedophilic desires ring through because the artist is so actively supressing them

it results in that doll like realm between i wanna fuck that little girl and daww what a nice little girl i am not going to fuck

which results in

this is a girl i would fuck if i could, if you gave me the chance

which is pretty dark but hey im no feminist, i've seen this same darkness within myself luckily i felt ashamed enough to stomach what i am

let's hope this doesn't manifest in rape

feminism patriachy blegh word vomit

i feel better

>>3281194
yeah i do agree with you,it's a bit too...meh.
i was testing out some techniques and shit tho so i wouldn't take it seriously kek

>>3281191
it looks like a star trek
:)

>>3281220
:3

>>3281199
you're projecting way too hard. you fuckhead.

>>3281199
Jesus fucking christ dude, no. I would tell you to stop projecting, but you already said it yourself. Seek help.

>>3281199
>>3281232
>>3281233

AHAHAHAHAH WHAT THE FUCK

bro its just a person w poor rendering jfc
>accidentally makes portrait look childlike
>now part of supreme celebrity pedophile ring

>dw guys i'm not a femenis1!!!

>>3281239
>accidentally
Artist here, she's 15, so I guess I succeeded? Also, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU >>3281199

>>3281199
I love this.

>>3278406
I didn't finish this one because I ended up just talking to her. Showed her how much I'd done because it'd been a few minutes and then she had a lot of questions about art.

>>3281239
/ic/ in a nutshell...

>>3281249
read ur crits

>>3281199
mods?

>>3281371
aww thats cute. they all look like shit tho.

>>3280904

thanks guys, thats encouraging. Im slowly wraping my head around making some merch for sell

I haven't had much time, but I'm slowly making process. Long way to go though still...

Yea, that's me. I'm just testing out the other brushes.

Recent landscape painting with oils. Hope you guys like

>>3281392
hmm...
i prefer the edges and the values for the first

the 2nd one is too complicated and gets muddy, even though it's much more shinier and glowier

working on the this it's not done but i would lik to make it better if i can what do you think needs improvement

>>3281417
It's an attempt at anime so having edges and line art would help a lot. I'll add some in, thanks for input.

>>3280701
The form shadows (and values) seem a bit off, but it's hard to pinpoint.

Posting the ref you're using would help I think.

>>3281372
Why are you so toxic?
Fucking kill yourself you inbred knuckle dragging baboon

Doodling on paper tonight.

>>3281371
I think they are interesting. Good surfaces on some of those. Do more

>>3281430
her leg is bent too much. yoshis are disposable punching bags, so maybe instead of having her hand on her hip she could be burying her uncaring fist in the animal's eye.

>>3281498
thanks for the input ,but the yoshi thing waoh

>>3281511
if you want your art to be thematically consistent with the source material there needs to be some casual animal abuse in there. just saying. her arms aren't the same thickness, so you're going to have to redraw one of them anyway.

>>3281511
He's right about the Yoshi thing.

Gonna ink and add watercolor, how's it looking?

>>3279853
>>3279856
did you use the RTS Sins of a Solar Empire as a reference?

>>3282076
Not familiar with it but I guess it's a simple design to arrive at. I was reminded of Necron from FF IX after working on it a while.

>>3282003
Right leg and foot look a bit larger than left.
You might want to define the knees better.

Your kind of drawing is not really my thing, so feel free to not consider the following:

1. The curve of the tail feels hard for a creature derived from a fish;
2. Head has too little detail and it is annoying me.

Good luck.

i was commissioned to paint hitler

>>3282571
do neonazis pay well?

>>3282586
yes. they work.

This was a commission i did for a friend....

>>3282586
very

>>3281199
You need professional help dude. Please seek out a therapist.

Finished, I think.
Opinions?

Any tips for how I could push the appeal of these types of paintings? I need something to make it more interesting.

>>3282696
Try thinking about the composition. Look at Chinese and Japanese art.

Some dumb sketches to break from homework

>>3282632
This is awesome. Are you planning to do something with it?

Anyone know animal anatomy here?

how do I get smoother colour blends

>>3282765
You can use the smooth round brush. It's /ic/ acceptable, just don't overuse it or try to hide it a little on top

>>3282747
Thanks!
I'm going to print it on cloth and sew some clothes out of it, and then take photos of myself wearing the clothes in different situations.
It's for my portfolio to get into a illustration school.

And you've got a really cool style going on there.

>>3282757
Nope. But there should be some good books in the book thread.

>>3280429
just write "brave murder day" on the purple one and sell it to katatonia fans
I'd buy it

>>3279865
Well, if you have fun while drawing, I'd recommend putting some more effort into it. As in, practicing. Maybe it's just a hobby, but drawing really does get a lot more fun if you are improving. I'd recommend reading keys to drawing and following some of the advice in there. That will get you on the right track.

>>3281392
Those fat as fuck arms compared to the size of the chest. Looks kind of weird desu. Imo if a person has big arms he is going to have big chest as well. I mean, it's most likely a style choice but it triggers my autism. The other thing is, the painting feels too soft, I mean, they are called the "rowdyruffboys" maybe if they were painted more roughly they would look cooler.

>>3281397
Let me tell you something about making it. Every time you sit down, and put time and actual effort into drawing, you are making it. It's not about reaching the goal, it's about going towards the goal. You don't reach the goal, you never reach the goal, you will never sit down to draw and think "this is enough, I don't want to improve anymore". And it's not about selling your work, who cares if you sell it or not. The reward you get for actually putting effort into drawing is much greater than all the money in the world, don't you get it? We are ALL making it senpai <3. #truthbomb

>>3282941
That's the plan. Thank you. :)

>>3280802
Thank you for the tips.

>>3280811
Ah, makes sense. I'll try to work on that in the future.

>>3282999
study animal anatomy more, satan

>>3283067
why i am i satan

>>3281161
The artist imposed a white soul on the subject.

>>3283074
you must be new here
you have a 999 get

>>3283082
oh, i didnt even pay attention; i thought it was the image in some way

>>3282571

>>3283099
why

>>3281371
What a piece of pretensious bullshit

>>3282963
i know a clear skill level i want to achieve and i will stop there immediately once i reach it
swallow that redpill

>>3283129
>enviromental thumbnails
>pretentious
You are a fucking idiot

>>3283129
i dont get why people are pissed about this one

they look like decent shapes and environment bases to start with
the textures are weird but if you're just putting textures for placeholder/base then idgi the issue

>>3283142
I like the textures though admit it's for a bad reason. It gives me an oddly nostalgic feeling, textures like those remind me of a lot of PC games I played as a kid like Speedy Eggbert, Myst, Ricochet, etc. Very alien and colorful but still uncannily crisp, it's a niche aesthetic but I like it.

Can I get some tips on painting realistically with acrylics?
Here's my ref: https://imgur.com/a/AyoNL

>>3281371
Meh, these are kinda cool. ic is just full of whiny retards as usual.

>>3283308
You're on the right track. Your darks are a little dull. Don't forget the reflected colour in the glass, and on the fabric. Could do with stronger underdrawing next time.

>>3283308
>>3283320
Alsooooo, your painting is a little cool. It helps to paint with daylight bulb or natural light.

>>3279966
That's so cute, I love it (nice dubs btw)

>>3283320
>>3283322
Thanks!

drawing/painting like this is boring and dull. form studies and grayscale suck, what's the fucking point?

>>3283396
took 2.5 hours for this btw

>>3283407
Im not sure but maybe use very big strokes at the begining and then refine those at the end

foreshortening look alright? can't decide if I pushed the hand too far or not enough.

>>3283396
lacking some darker values. looks washed out.

>>3283453
front hand look aright, the back hand is a bit problematic and lacks gesture and wight

>>3283463
hmm, now that you mention weight the whole figure feels like it is lacking it. thanks anon

>>3280690
Finally finished this.
I have my own thoughts about it, but what do you think, anons?

>>3281371
>"""art"""
Just like that schizo guy who posts cryptic photoshoped images

Is there any good reason why my pencil tool doesn't scale properly? Pic related was done with 171px pencil tool on 3000 px canvas (resized for the screenshot). It's acting weird as fuck. Other brushes also act weird when I resize them sometimes if they're a texture brush.

need redline

>>3283140
u r wrong, the skill level will constantly get higher and higher as you get better, swallow that red pill :)

>>3280303
Never watched Naruto, but I get what you're saying.

>>3280815
Yeah it's really me. Thanks, man!

>>3281040
That's why I try to always post my art whenever I give criticism. So people can decide to ignore me.

>>3281183
Really wasn't trying to bully at all and I actually liked the painting. If I came off as unnecessarily harsh than I'm sorry my dude.

>>3283453

Looks sick!
What did you do to achive this high of a artistic level?
I can tell you studied basics and anatomy like crazy, but what kind of books and tutorials were you using?

>>3283336

Nice sketches
I think the near eye of the Bottom guy is a bit too low

Pic is a blade runner study, still working on it

o/

>>3284187
oh god, those colors!!?? I hope it's because it's in cmyk. I have to print this for class. I hope this looks better

Any crits would be great. I feel so fucking lost regarding values.

>>3284096
Ignoring valid criticism because you don't like someone's art is childish anyway. You don't have to explain yourself. Cute drawing by the way.

>>3284149
I like the drawing and you nailed the resemblance. The cropping is too narrow for my taste though.

>>3284191
I don't know about the cmyk thing but those colors look very nice. I think the overlay you used for the street lights is a bit too yellow. It makes the background greenish. The elements in the background don't feel grounded yet and the cloud shapes need some adjustments but otherwise it's a promising start.

>>3284191
Nice but there is no focal point. Everything competes for attention.

>>3284113
>what kind of books and tutorials were you using?
hampton's videos were a big help. vilppu's stuff clicked with me as well. aside from those, lots of copying from ref.

>>3283521

>>3279508
Were you hunting witches or it's just how you drew ?

>>3281199
Never post again please

>>3284219
I think this has potential
the shadows on his face of what I'm assuming are cell bars are way too narrow
his mouth is too big and ugly, and he's missing some cranium in the back
the neck is also pretty fucked but you're doing some weird stylizing so i dunno

Update

>>3284311
>his mouth is too big and ugly, and he's missing some cranium in the back
b-but m-muh style ;_;
No, I see what you mean. I'll try and fix it.

>>3284311
And it's meant to be a regular window. Not cell bars.

>>3284308
Nice pose bro. Did you do that from memory, or did you have a reference? Do you have other work?

>>3284407
everything is too wide. it looks like you drew the originally picture half decently and then stretched it.
left eye (our left, that is) is too small i think. the beard just looks like fucked up shadow, define some of the lines more instead of just blending it all. also the glasses and hair are completely differently shaped than the ref picture.

Acrylic Study (WIP).
The transition of the hair seems of, but I have tried everything. If I made it lighter it looks like she has Californian Wicks and if I make it darker it doesn't mach the strong lighting of the painting. The background is kind of Half Assed I will try to fix it.
So if anyone has any advice I would be very thanful (Sorry about the potato quality of the picture).

>>3284418
As soon as I uploaded the photo I saw how bad I had things warped. I even watched a video on how to measure but apparently I'm too retarded to understand.

I'm not sure I'll get this right, but thanks a bunch anon for pointing things out. I'll try to improve.

>>3284509
What reference did you use? Looks like you overestimated the shadow that the hat casts. It should be higher if not matching the shadow of her face, not the neck (since that's being casted by the chin).

Don't forget that hair is made up of "ribbons" of strands. They interact with each other in terms of lighting, so you won't be getting a sharp transition in most cases. Pic related.

It might be the camera messing up the colors, but the hair shadows look a bit too saturated. But I may be wrong.

>>3281199
Jesus

>>3284270
Well, fuck me.

>>3278406
please, let me go. give me my life. let me live.

>>3284613
I've wanted this for so long now. Every day I wish I would wake up with it all over. In my new body, in my new life. I pray every night that God will make the torture and suffering stop. That my mission would be over and I could have peace.

I want to be happy.
I want to be a pretty lady.
I want to be adored.

I want to go home.

Please.

any glaring mistakes before I continue? redlines would be appreciated.

Did you do this with an ipad and apple pencil?
Looks very nice.

>>3284658
it's jace he's never alright

>>3284191
As a general rule of thumb always work in RGB for digital art (with your color profile embedded in the image).

CMYK is only ever used in print, and it's for printers to be able to match the color on your screen with their ink.

Exporting images in cmky will fuck them up for viewing it on a monitor.

>>3284665

i mean i know his latest card isn't as good as mind sculptor but lighten up a little

>>3284637
You are missing one anatomically crucial component from your image.

>>3284686
thanks

>>3284522
Thanks anon, does this look any better?
Also by the hair shadow do you mean the one on the "shadow" part or the sadows on the "light" part?

>>3284848
Of course I forget the image.

>>3284662
Thanks and yes, I'm using procreate too

>>3284238
i will try to fix it, thanks!

>>3278406

Style study. Where am I going wrong and where I'm going right, eh? Is the likeness obvious?

>>3284407
draw the background

Had an idea for a mountain who's bottom half was made completely from geysers, this is the current wip.

>>3284848
>>3284855
Yup, looking better. Assuming the light is coming from the front, the shadow shouldn't be trailing downwards at that extreme of an angle as you go from the hair touching the face to the hair at the edge.

And when I said the shadow of the hair was too saturated, I meant the darkest part of the shadows, not the midtones. But it might not even be that necessary of a change now that I think about it, especially if it would mess with what you've already painted.

Gave that bitch a starship

Bitches love starships.

Testing a brush to find one I can use as a main. This was quick. However, tips on brush technique would be very appreciated.

I'm a traditionalfag because my tablet broke and I really wanted to draw flowers
how the fuck do you capture the flowiness in sakura petals? I've been trying for like two hours, the wobbly bullshit sketches look okay but the second I try to add any definition it goes to shit and I have to start over

>>3284862
on a technical level, the drawing is perfectly fine & the shape design itself is nice; it looks like the sort of thing that would be very popular on tumblr. with that said, i think you didn't capture the likeness very much at all. if it weren't for the costume this would just be handsome bearded cartoon dilf as opposed to bill murray. sans hat, you could've told me this was anyone from hemmingway to burt reynolds & i would've believed you.
>thinner eyebrows
>more rounded jawline w/ hint of a double chin
it's also worth thinking about the facial expression itself and what type of character you're trying to convey, this is more of a matter of taste but i think you could push it a little further in a stylized piece like this. i think the main problem in working with a popular character like this is that the iconography can be so much of a crutch that it solves the image before you learn to do all the necessary legwork. it is a good start though.

>>3284149
I like this.

Also, just so you guys know that the reason I talked so much during our movie time is because that entire film was a mind fucked designed specifically for me. Every scene, every character, literally everything was about me and/or my life. If I wasn't having an existential crisis the entire time I would have been much quieter.

I want to go home.

>>3281026
The perspective of the mouth is still slightly off. I realize the lip is being pulled back in a snarl, but you're letting it influence your judgement of the angle the teeth should be in. Also the whole face is slightly off perspective alignment with the skull as well. Instead of messing with the face though I think it'd be better to move the ear on the left side.
I still like it a lot though.

>>3281199
Almost more disturbing than the actual pedi crap that gets posted.
Almost.

>>3284862
To add to the other anon, you should try to bring out the color in his skin. It looks so lifeless, especially compared to his shirt and hat.

>>3283336

I posted the original sketch too, as you can see it's quite shit but I liked the gesture so I developed it a bit

>>3281191
I'd buy this. Got a blog?

>>3285719
Just wanted to say i liked you drawings and gave you a follow yesterday, but 4chan was being a shitlord.
Cool sketches especially.

>>3285139
Thanks

>>3282747
Added some stuff

>>3286009
That's quite good, anon.

why the long face? it looks strenched horizontally.
and even if it's a study i'm sure you can draw to of the head... is that too hard? is that too much to ask? you pathetic piece of shit.

>>3286009
why the long face? it looks stretched verically.
and even if it's a study i'm sure you can draw top of the head... is that too hard? is that too much to ask? you pathetic piece of shit.

How would you even go about finishing this?

Looking for tips on construction and proportions.

>>3278511
This is absolutely stunning!

crits?

I know roses are a meme but I enjoyed making this one

Doing a bit of environmental sketching.

>>3286075
make the background really dark.

Did this today

>>3286191
dadddy!!!
more works?
blog?

I'm learning how to draw hair
Any tips?
I really need some help

>>3280904
Nice perspective anon

>>3278511
Caraca que lindo. Você tem um deviant, ou Instagram? Quero ver mais

>>3282597
I like your style
It's a bit strange, but good

>>3283219
I fucking love it

>>3286308
But then everything would be dark?

Finished this yesterday. Feels kind of flat in my opinion, I'm guessing lighting could be better. Any ideas?

>>3284931
>>3285026
Awesome work. I love how you both distribute details to the focus points and leave the rest somewhat out of focus. Also, source on the brush?

>>3286009
Great! The expression is really solid and I think the rough textures are tastefully added. The chin could use a notch to the left, though.

>>3286462

Hey, I drew >>3285026

The brush I was using for that is "freeman" by Daarken, however in this one (pictured) I am using both Freeman and Gwen brushes.

I am struggling to find a good fast workflow with a good main brush right now.

>>3281371
Despite what some retards are saying, these are really decent landscape compositions, interesting colors too. Keep going, try to do more variation of color, some more saturated, some more muted. Maybe lay off relying so much on interesting textures, is what /ic/ means to say.

>>3281392
Yeah, I agree with what the first two guys said, I prefer the angles in the first one to the softness of the second, but it's YOUR style.

Same guy that drew this >>3279141, designs for a character for a sci-fi rpg I'm making, it's the character I play as, I usually draw her like top right, but I'm tring to learn how to draw more realistic, think like Moebius. Any pointers? Am I getting close with the middle row?

>>3286505
Thanks for the tip. I already like the results of your current brushset. It doesn't feel like they're lacking when it comes to the wolves.

Here's an artist that seems similar to your work, maybe there's something in there for you:

>>3286531
you mean top left?

>>3286041

I can smell your jealousy from miles away anon...

>>3286540
I don't understand, are you making fun of me? Here's how I usually draw the character, in a cartoony/actiony stytle, but I'm trying to learn how to draw from the imagination more realistically. My sci fi setting has the aspect of genetic engineering, so I'm trying to learn how to draw designs that look realistic, but will be some what caricatured and "stylized" like genetic engineering will basically dictate. So, yeah I'm kinda confused as to how I should approach that; relearn and draw from life/photos of realism and then take that knowledge back into my cartooning knowledge and draw interesting/caricatured character designs from there?

>>3286361

is most of my stuff.

I make space

I want to go home.

CLAIIIRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>3286534
Say, thanks anon! That artist's brush work looks a lot like the "gwen" brush. It is almost like using oils? Very good artist there.

>>3286709
stfu for fuck sakes
and tits dont work thay way.

>>3286719
post tits or gtfo

>>3286709
tits too low and saggy.make it more hotter.

>>3286719
>>3286731
lol what

>>3286724
>>3286854
they are attaching just below the armpit. thats really wrong.

>>3286856
what

Is there anything obviously wrong with this?

>>3286876
ZA HANDU...
... doesn't seem to align with her right shoulder.

>>3286860
what what what bitch? dont know fuckign anatomy W HAT WHAT WHAT your girls are ugly btw.

I made this to try out the style I had in mind for my comic. What does ic think? Also, does it look better when I smudge it or no?

new wip

>>3286709
nothing is more distasteful than poorly drawn "sexy" nudes.
Stop drawing with your dick

>>3286954

>>3286719
>>3286856

are you ok anon?

>>3286945
Yes right is definitely better, more contrast makes it looks more gloomy

>>3278406
I saw the OC post for this, noice.

>>3287364
? this proves my point. look at the drawing and compare it to this. in the drawing its connecting just right below the armpit, this one doesnt.

>>3287364
>>3287409
further more, look at how it sits on the ribcage. yours doesn't.

>>3287364
bro idk what the fuck those guys are on about. it looks fine.

>>3287414
no it doesnt.

Is this any good?

>boob "experts"
/ic never changed

>>3286709
Man, this person isn't going to be happy...oh well.. stupid and quick drawing i did over the holidays.

Posting mobile so no clue if it's gonna be huge or sideways or both, but here's a sketchbook page

>>3287465
These are cool, only thing I wish there was more of is line of action and things "lining up" more, just my personal preference but it could improve your design work a bit. Look into the work of Donald Hirschfeld. Here's an example.

>>3287425
Holy shit have you never actually seen enough boobs to realize that they are shaped differently??! GTFO

>>3287480
what does the shape have to do with anything? he is ignoring the ribcag, and any connection to the breast.

>>3287484
I have to assume you meant the shape of it because you OUTLINED THE FUCKING SHAPE NYUGGA

>>3287411
>>3287425
This is the worst thing about trying to give critique here. Someone will almost always undermine you, especially if the drawing has good rendering. I saw what you're saying immediately when I first looked at it but I decided against point it out because I knew what would happen. It happens every time with that guy's stuff. For what it's worth though, I just wanted to let you know at least one person agrees with you.

>>3287492
i was pointing out where the breast ended and where its touching the ribcage. which is nonexistant on op's
>>3287521
someone has to do it

>>3287528
Yeah, someone has to do it. Also he didn't take into account the girl in the photo is leaning forward which also allows the breasts to hang like that. Leaning back or standing up straight like she is in the painting they should, as you say, be propped up by the ribcage.

I've got myself to start using a brush.
From 1 to 10 how much should I kill myself?

>>3287568
0, don't kill yourself, keep trying senpai ;) Looks cool.

this is the first painting i've done that's not a photo study. could someone pls crit

>>3287345
>traditional redline
Lol. Next time print the image and draw on top of that. That would be funnier

>>3287439
That composition, those colors, all those lines all around, those faces, the fire isn't even on, that cringe dad, that ugly douchy car. Man, how can you work on something this big and not realising it's a bad mess? I'm not joking, I don't want to think on the time you have spend on that.
Well, maybe it's a comission, in that case I don't care about you if you got paid. I would be concerned about the dude that paid for this to get done.
Work on your fundies anon

>>3287613
Ok, I know it's your first painting and you got a lot to learn, so don't get overwelmed. You will get used to it.
Anyway here are som stuff I got to detect. I'm not the best artist and I didn't put a lot of efford but whatever
-The hairline, what is that? Was that on purpose?
-Diferentiate your values and highlight the main things. You did right with painting the light with white, but the arm has no business being white too. Also, It's always nice (specially on cute girls) to see clearly her face and not to mix it up with the hair. I'm talking about the value. Push the hair black or the skin white.
-I didn't do a great job on that, but the hand could have a better silhouette. Start with a solid drawing when painting dificult stuff like hands.
-The rendering of the hair is very flat and the candle doesn't seem to have an effect on it
-The candles bottom and the metalic handle should be in shadow partly since they dont get direct light
-And as a general advise: just because you got to some cute eyes doesn't mean it's good enough to finish. Plan better your drawings and always do thumbnail( even though this itself could be a thumbnail)
-Well, check the redline and try to figure what else I have changed.

Fuck I just realised I changed the design of her dress. Didn't meant to.

>>3287655
Dude this is the worst repaint I've seen on here...

>>3287657
fuck u right. I fukd up.
That was pretty shitty

>>3287521
>>3287528
you people are idiots

>>3286029
>>3286462
Thanks. As for the pic, I think it needs more volume on her buttocks

>>3286041
I uploaded it to my nlog with some of those changes. Thanks?

>>3286547
Some people here act like they came out of their mother womb knowing how to draw. It is quite sad

>>3287716
Yeah, I guess you have to be to try to help anyone here.

>>3286595
i think the nose should be smaller

>>3287771
i think you should be smaller

Any tips vids or guides into coloring

How do you make an original character look good? I have four characters in mind, three very clear but I have a hard time bringing them on paper. Do you just use a lot and a lot of references even though it might look much different to what you imagined? Is there a free 3D character creator online?

>>3287627
>fundies
fundies for lalka's, i don't need it. and thanks for your critique, nyash

>>3287720
Looks beautiful.
Maybe darken the sheets a tad, to make her stand out?
-
Anyway, posted this in the discord.
Some character portraits from a web comic i'm planning.
Was also training to get better at digital painting/values.

currently learning how to hands

Any insights would be appreciated!

How can I stop being so messy with my sketches?

>>3287842
look at the size of that cock!

>>3287830

Looks good!

>>3286709

Ignore the retard that are trying really hard to shit on your work. It looks great. Not everyone is made the same. I've seen some guys with pectoral higher than most people and some breast that is just weird looking.

>>3287847
its not too messy, just find an eraser and a soft pencil and clean that shit up

A request I did for someone on DA. I needed more practice drawing boys.

>>3287439
we already have stoners that draw trash.

>>3287890
ill become da Stoner King - this is my ninja way, believe it!

re-reading through gurney's color and light book, thought i'd do something with simple forms and colors, but it feels like im polishing a turd now.

wanted to desaturate the main pink color with a greyish blue to reflect the sky, but it just looks weird so I recolored it with the pink (remnants of said greyblue can be seen around the edges)

any thoughts, d/ic/kheads?

just come cute stuff

>>3287951
repainted it somewhat
off to sleep, to await critique

>>3288028
I like the values, sleep tight

>>3288028
His antennae could cast a drop shadow on his forehead, creating an interesting shape.

>>3287801
how do you mean look good? do you mean be well drawn, or well designed?

>>3287655
>>3287657
i'm confused, but thank you both for replying.

>>3287727
hows the aids?

I made a few adjustments thanks to the feedback I had. I kept the bible cause I like it. I'm going to call this done soon because I'm already kinda struggling with the details.

>>3288028
Looks pretty good to me. The skin is kinda pale. I believe the highlights and mid tones could be more saturated. It would help if you did the whole block in first so we can better judge the contrasts and overall color harmony. It's promising anyway.

>>3287920
>>3287811
Those two are more interesting than the first you posted regarding the composition and colors. But you won't be able to go much further if you don't try to apply basic perpective. And you tend to overuse gray.

>>3287875
I like the drawing. Although slightly unbalanced and I wish a hand was showing. Nice design though.

>>3287842
It's a decent start but you should work on the background tones first when working in traditionnal or you're going to have a harder time later on.

jesus you are such cancer

>>3288031
>>3288084
>>3288199
thanks for the feedback guys, added a dropshadow that doesnt look all that correct imo, and i'll probably end up redoing the sky-highlight to be more unsaturated and give the pink midtone more saturation or somethin idk, for now i sleep again

i'll try to be more courteous and have a more fleshed out piece next time i post, dunno how long these threads last in general and dont wanna reach image limit

>>3288199
also the vertical cross on the book is too skewed to the left, jesus' left eye is slightly higher then the right, the angel on the bottom-left closest to the viewer's fingers are kind awkward and I'd make them stick upwards more. the second angel on the right from top-to-down's face is kinda odd, almost like her face is twisting to the left, maybe reposition her eyes so they're more aligned/leveled with her gold headband and add a hint of color near the left eye so you can see the eyesocket?

like the palette and shadows on the faces, the halo is really pretty too. consider adding detail to the wings
