Play around with hues with corresponding value changes. In terms of values your painting is alright, but the lack of hue variation makes it very lifeless.

Have altered the saturation and size of the birds. Any critique would be good. Though I'm mostly done here. Only thing is I'd rather not make it any more saturated as I think it's already becoming more cute than sombre/foreboding

>>3304924
The background is looking very flat and plain in comparison to the foreground. You removed a lot of the icebergs that helped create depth, and the clouds don't have much depth to them either. Sort of looks like a textured brush of a lighter color swiped once across a flat dark background color. It'd be nice if you spent a little time at least giving the clouds a bit of form too. One more thing I think could help add tension and a sense of foreboding would be adding a splash of red or orange or some bright color like that in the middle of the darkening clouds.

>>3304935
Thanks for that, i'll see what I can do. Deleted my post because I think I've posted it here too much already, but that info helps a lot; I was just thinking I liked a previous iteration with the icebergs better than the current.

>>3304937
why does every beginner on /ic/ copy this image? the crabs have to stop convincing newbies that ruan jia is good. he's a meme, guys.

>>3304939
You're welcome and don't worry, I understand that feel. I was curious though, if you feel like sharing. I had liked your old work a lot and I like this new style too but I'm wondering how you transitioned from a more graphic style of illustration towards a more painterly and realistic style. Any particular books or methods you studied to do so?

Just some doodles. Trying to learn to draw aesthetic, simple characters. Not going for a specific style, just drawing what comes naturally.

>>3304959
Also drew this today. Not much of a character but it was fun to draw.

Someone please just tell me how to animeshade. I'm feel like I'm going in circles here.

>disclaimer: not my art

>>3304958
Well it was more like a slow decision. I like how my old style looks but it didn't give me much room to improve my skills. Plus it wasn't very efficient or adaptable as it mostly had to be done on one layer in SAI. When I switched over to Photoshop I wanted to learn how to paint better in general, and about 90% of my motivation and inspiration came from other artists I discovered like Therese Larsson, Terryl Whitlatch, Aaron Blaise, James Gurney, etc. I wanted to pick up my favourite bits of knowledge from their art and add it to my own.
Literally spent all last year going through Terryl's books and being re-inspired every time.

Currently I'm using that Scurry comic and a sort-of inspiration (mostly the best methods of painting and layer structure for a painterly comic). Would recommend checking out that comic.

>>3305006
Forgot to post pic. This is by Therese Larsson, love her stuff. Learned a bit about stylized lighting and texturing by looking at her art.

>>3305001

is her forehead too big ?

>>3305031
A resounding "yes" from me

>>3305006
>>3305007
Nice, thanks for the info. I should definitely look into some of that stuff, I'm already reading Gurney's book. I hope some of it'll help me as much as it seems to have helped you because right now I feel like my color theory and painting ability are hopeless. Anyway your stuff is looking great, good luck finishing up that piece.

>>3305046
I recommend looking at schoolism and Bobby Chiu's interviews on youtube when you're feeling that way. When I feel down about art it's best to learn something.
I'm also working on my composition and colour/light, doing a Nathan Fowkes course on it right now.

>>3305031
yes lol

Something about the way the fat folds around her mouth made me want to do a study. Reminded me of the two headed monster from Willow. Feel like I shouldn't be rendering yet, need more construction

More studies

>>3305031
also add some expression to her upper brow, kinda looks like her eyebrow is floating off

>>3305131
damn she looks like a monster fuck

Wanted to try something with colors after my studies but doesn't look quite right.

>>3305588
what's wrong with drawing from a photo reference you cunt

>>3305588
I post an unfinished portrait of usually an Asian person once in awhile here, using only a 2px brush, having it look like shit, lack value, no hair, etc. So I'm trying to get completely away from that "style" and trying to actually finish pieces. So with this, I feel that I:
a) Managed to complete an image (in terms of a portrait, sweater needs work)
b) Managed to paint hair that looks somewhat convincing
c) Achieved an overall painterly feel which is what I wanted/soft/hard edges and what not

All things that I want to get better at... So hence a study.

Anyways... I changed the size of the irises a bit.

>>3305764
this is extremely good.

>>3305764
This looks really good! I have one suggestion though:

I feel like the hair is a missed opportunity in terms of adding some much needed texture & detail to drawing that doesn't really have a lot of it. I don't know how dark the reference is, but just because hair is dark doesn't mean it can't have some detail, as more detailed hair can do a lot for a portrait composition. Maybe the reference doesn't show a lot going on in the hair, but that doesn't mean it has to stay that way. I've attached a very quick example of one way you could show some more movement and direction in the hair without totally messing up the dark values. Really subtle, large strokes can do a lot for hair. You don't have to draw each individual hair strand, but rather to try and capture the forms and direction of different bits of hair.

You've got a great grasp of values but I wonder if you're hesitant to go in and really render out different materials and textures, as this portrait has that very perfectly smooth 'digital' look. Great work regardless!

>>3305374
I think it lacks a focal point, or an area of focus.

Onion study, learning color and how to render.

>>3305850
Few things:

+ You're trying to draw an onion that is sitting in a bright white space, but you're trying to use some muddy, greyish background. This will needlessly throw you off - for the sake of what you're trying to study, just use the white background.

+ Use a larger brush and make larger strokes. It looks like you're going in with a much smaller brush and just scribbling around, while not capturing the overall important details & textures. When rendering, it's more important to capture the overall feel & gesture of the details than it is the exact, pixel-for-pixel details. Think about the bigger, cohesive picture. Zoom out a bit and just block things in in a more simplified manner.

+ Use a brush with a harder edge (like the default round brush). Whatever you're using now looks terribly out of focus, and makes the form suffer.

+ The onion is much more saturated than it looks - especially towards the top where you get that deep redish/magenta.. Consider using more saturated colors.

Just some thoughts - hope this helps!

>>3305850
Dude I'm not usually one of these "draw from life" parrots at all and I think there's definitely value in doing photostudies, but come the fuck on. It's an onion, do you really not have a fucking onion or something similar lying around at your place that you could draw from life instead?

>>3305890
Whew lad. Do you really think everyone has a red onion readily available? If the OP was a college student in a small dorm room, would you expect them to have a basket of red onions handy?

Nothing wrong with studying from a photo.

>>3305888
>>3305890
My fault for not using one from life, I don't have one at home so maybe I should've chose something else.

current

i dont have any advice i just wanted to draw the onion too

don't know what this thing is I doodled this morning but I feel he is a friend

>>3305902
>Whew lad. Do you really think everyone has a red onion readily available?
How difficult is it to go down to the store and buy an onion?

If the OP was a student in a school, they would have friends to borrow objects from, an art department with objects to borrow, and a dorm cafeteria to ask for an onion from.

Nothing wrong with getting out into the real world, either.

I mean, seriously, you're working this hard to avoid getting an onion. How deep down the NEET rabbit hole are you?

>>3306076
It's so cute. I want one.

working on my lineart...

>>3306076
Adorable.

Hey guys I worked some more on the clouds. If the bro from the last thread happens to see, I think the changes fix what you noticed

>>3306348
hands and clothes look great, the butt leg area looks a little off though. thighs don't go smoothly to a butt, there's a bit of a crease/bulge.

>>3306360
not the guy from last time but it looks way better, last time the sky was super overwhelming but this looks much better

>>3306360
Really awesome, and where are u gonna put Noah's ark at?

>>3306362

thanks for your observations.

Why people i ask don't like this work? I thought if i'd make something dizzying illusional and hypnotic but subtle it would be fun. Like if you move toward the picture it would move. If you unfocus your vision it should dance. If you focus your vision on the eyes of the cat the corners should kinda move too. But it doesn't roll.. Eeh.

idk if you boys will do coloring, but this image would look better in color(and all of scud to be fair)

i really like this

another wee update for the curious. Added some bushes and ground detail, gave the girl a shirt (should I remove it?) and detailed the clothes on the ground.

>>3306529

really excellent values and sense of light, and I love the skintones and the trees. really lovely work.

>>3306529
damn that's badass. is it based on any particular skinwalker legend? also I'm 99% sure it's going to end up on vore sites

>>3306529

>>3306145
Why do you want this guy to have an onion so badly? Fucking autistic bro.

whittling away on this

>>3305833
this is a fucking horrible idea.
it kills the velvet black deepness the original has and instead replaces it with trendy tumblr squiggles.

>>3306529
when I look at the thumbnail, the figures blend into this awkward mass of stuff on the ground. there's no contrast.
placement of the bottom leftmost figure is bad, and brings unnecessary attention to the frame, as her body leads away from the image (doesn't help that you chose to do a tight render for each figure). that turd of a rabbit also breaks up the s-shaped flow of the composition - get rid of it

the next time you post this should be when you finish it. keep some of your artistic integrity and problem solve by yourself

>>3306347
wouldn't that be slower than walking in every case?

>>3305031
Yea, but blog pls?

edges

>>3306529
I think you could make the skin a bit more white and glowy so the people stand out a bit. The lighting wont be completely consistent but i think it looks nice.

>>3306769
>The lighting wont be completely consistent
BAD.
and making the background in the trees much lighter takes away from the darkish mood.

>>3304577
Opinion?

>>3306738

That has a russian academy feel to it. Just tighting up some edges so it's not all blurry, I like the chunky paint application.

Made this today. Her left arm became kinda weird unfortunately

>>3306774
what's wrong with your face

>>3306632
>artistic integrity

I've solved just about every "problem" in this by myself, it's just fun to post and get feedback. This is a draw thread after all soooo

>>3305890
Red onions are awful. No one should have them around

critiques welcome

>>3306774
That's some bad anatomy. I'd say redo the face at LEAST but you've already done it in ink so I doubt you're going to. IF this is a poster for a show or something I'd redo it though. I'd do a redline if I had a tablet. But for starters, go to sketchfab . com where they have 3d scans of faces and stuff and you can get a good sense of what a head looks like when you look up at it.

'Sup

>>3306773
I like the changes. Sure it looks more like a photo in the first one but second one is more interesting maybe a middle ground would be good

>>3306883
eyes too far apart, eyebrows aren't symmetrically shaped. Looks a little cross eyed on the left eye. Nose isn't quite centered and maybe should be a little bit bigger? Cheekbones also aren't even. Not super familiar with The Thing but you should try to do something about the left half of the head. Looks like you tried to do a 3 4ths angle almost, while the other side of the head at the jaw and eyebrow points straight.

>>3304577
how can i improve?

>>3306889
progress

>>3306991
I mean to just add the other guy, sorry bout that. Yeah, I need to be more confident in using large brush strokes and needed to make it more saturated. I'll just make sure to avoid these mistakes in the next piece. the brush strokes are going to be the hardest for me.

This is another one I did earlier.

Go to the beginner thread and start by reading the OP

>>3306773
You're trying to make art, not photos. A bit of freedom is permissible with the lighting scheme if it results in a better piece. I agree with the rest of what you said.

Why is AM wearing a basket?

Also i want to draw something nice but my head is empty. What is a good place to find inspiration? What would you guys recommend drawing?

>>3305840
my lad you're totally right

i want to add a little whimsical character to this scene so i was thinking this fox
and a hole where he caught the big fish
is it ok

I know y'all hate seeing me for the billionth time but I feel like I'm finally heading into a good direction with the shading style after redoing it for the billionth and I wanted to share.
Turns out simpler cell-shading looked best all along (>>3305001).

>>3307454
I think it would work. The colors of the fox would be a great contrast. I honestly don't think you need the hole to be honest.

>>3307302
What photos did you use for refs? The left bird could use some work as most of its lower area looks like just a blob. The right one is fantastic, almost like a photo.

>>3307280
Great colors. Looks like a photo from the thumbnail.

>>3307276
What's the story/idea behind this? Great hatching.The only error that sticks out is the fact that his right leg is floating above his knee.

>>3307253
Cute.

>>3306889
>>3307012
Nice.

>>3307454
I'm digging the right tree, the bottom left one is my least favorite, I think you need to add more distinction between the trees and the terrain/lake, for instance try to add some rocks peaking from the snow in the ground,

Moreover I think the composition is looking to symmetrical, especially when I look at both sides, try to make it more organic by elevating or taking down one of the sides.

< Something i finished the other day

>>3307484
blog?

>>3307462
thank's friend, now i think about it the crack in the ice will probably be distracting.

i love the shade of her hair, are you using typical animu software to shade? cause they have some good blenders- disregard if you're sticking with the cell shading but i vaguely remember you asking how to anime shade

may be a bit muddy as i didn't have access to to each layer and ran into the black/green

>>3307495
Yeah, that's me. I was considering trying something like that tomorrow. Did you just blend it or did you add something more to it? Got any tips for blending? Because this looks fantastic desu

>are you using typical animu software to shade?
I'm using CSP with the default brushes.

>>3307502
i just used csp default blender tool. I'm not too experienced but i think a good stylistic choice is to not blend all of the edges just like, the middle bit? if that makes sense (see how i've left a kind of hard edge on the shadow of her shoulder)

>>3307454
Fox should tie things together nicely. My only other criticism would be that the roots of the tree on the right; it does not posses a very pleasing negative space and is therefore a bit distracting. If you could change the shape of it, have it be a bit more dynamic then I think it might look better.

>>3307484
thank firez will do, also probably add cast shadows and stuff to further define the light source

>>3307517
Yeah, I'll definitely give it a try because I really like the example you provided. Thanks.

Love the color palette, I think this one could be really cool if you put him in an environment, up the contrast a bit and add some subsurface scattering

>>3308024
Yeah, the first one definintely has more flow and everything points to the fruit nicely. I also think the pose in number two looks kinda unnatural.
Number 1 needs bellybutton immediatly

Slowly working this out, I will color this via gradient maps later

>>3308287
Damn, I'm liking it! Any blog?

Also do you have any tips on approaching gradient map on grayscale paintings, especially environments like this? Do you have elements with different local colors separated out into folders, then clipping a new gradient map adjustment layer into each one? Or do you just manually mask it on the go?

>>3308306
Thanks mate, most of my stuff is here:
https://exitmothership.deviantart.com/

I usually don't work this way so I don't have a workflow for that.
I plan to go about it like this: I create a folder for all the gradient maps, work out the most dominant and re-orcurring colors first and then painterly mask certain areas out of the raw layers until something nice comes together. All the smaller stuff gets it's own gradient map then and from there I render the whole thing. First gradient map should layout the overall mood of the image.

>>3308456

>>3308445
Not a fan of anthro but this looks pretty solid. What's the concept behind it?

>>3308431
Big canvas, thin pencil brush. If you're having trouble with making long, smooth lines just turn the stabilizer up. I'd honestly also recommend trying out CSP. It's better than SAI imo.

>>3308322
Looks neat. Could you tell us more about the game?

The default ones should work well enough.

>How?
There's a stabilization setting for each individual brush. You can't really miss it.

>Chartered Society of Physiotherapy or Clip Studio Paint?

So, I'm just being commissioned for the artwork and haven't played the game, but basically each player gets an identical deck with numbered cards of a dagger suit (rather than a 3 of clubs it's a 3 of daggers, etc) and face cards which all count for 1 except the king. the different face cards have different modifiers and the goal is to have the highest score at the end of each round. I guess it's kinda like poker but with tarot-inspired artwork and fewer numbered cards.

I mean, this might just be personal preference as I just have a general dislike for "fantasy" fonts in general. I have zero design experience so take everything I say with a grain of salt.

I'd personally shift towards a more condensed, blockier font with more consistent lettering and also spell everything in capitals. I think it would look more uniform that way.

>>3309279
/alt/ is an anime containment thread, the overlap is because it doesn't work very well and people doing other cartoony things accidentally post in there because there was some bickering about the title when it was first devised so it ended up not being called the anime thread like it probably should have been

Draw in pen only or mechanical pencil but think of each stroke you make. Do this for a long time. Im still very amateur so my advice may not be great but it has helped me alot.

I just can't do oil painting, it's complicated for me.

>>3310208
it's kinda cool.
it's a bit like "what if Giorgio Morandi painted Alexa?"

>>3309787
>i feel like illastrat lol
c'mon, you're not THAT bad! don't be too harsh on yourself.

>>3306529
wow. saw your very first drafts a few weeks ago.
really surprised and impressed where this went!
awesome. and i'm usually not into digital at all.

>>3308221
This is really great. Any other examples of your work?

>>3309006
I feel like the silhouette could be more interesting. The armor pads kinda clash with the bulky thighs and since both are a similar size, shapes from both fade out. If I were doing it I'd make the armor pads at the side of the hips smaller and keep the bulky thighs, or the other way around and make the cloth between the legs bigger.

Finished up week 6 of Dynamic Sketching. I tried to follow the crit got in the last thread and not go so crazy with details and color. I also tried to choose some more adventures plants to be more exploritive with what I draw. Any and all feedback would be very appreciated.

>>3306625
basically done with this

Had some free time in class and scrap newspaper

>>3307773
Famn I thought it had a gun in its mouth and I got hyped. Imo the scene doesn't read well as a 3d space. I think its because the background clashes with the foreground too much making it look like one plane.

>>3310441
cool

>>3310418
No you're not.

>>3310272
yeah I just finished this painting, I incorporated a similar drawing to that one onto the canvas in the background

>>3310488
oh, my bad

Sorry if its not the place to ask, but does loomis really work?, im starting to doubt it, and if anyone here did something different to start drawing please tell me

>>3310500
came out alright

Did some sketches with red and blue colored pencils, I like the way it turned out.

I used to make nude edits back in 2013 and I've decided to start once again. This is a recent one.

Can I get any critique? I don't know how to draw pubic hair, I honestly haven't drawn since 2013, I've been to busy with college

>>3310675
this is the original

First time trying to paint full digital (only colored traditional drawings before). I'ts a work in progress obviously, but why is it coming out so grossly smooth?

>>3310280
My autism flared up when I realized, that I only did 5 pages, instead of my usual 6 pages,so here is the sixth page for week 6

They look a bit "technical", the way some of those drawings by old masters studying actual plants do. Don't know if that's what you were going for but I'd say it wasn't.
Also that red thingy doesn't make much sense if you ask me. Way too many individual strands.

I started this yesterday but I don't really know what direction it's going in. I'm sure it'll look lovely once it's properly rendered/has a background drawn in, but right now I keep faffing around redoing lines and proportions.

>>3311597
Opinions on this colour scheme?
I like garishness, but idk if it's very appealing to anybody that's not me.

>>3305031
i do love your style! the only thing that bugs me is the left (her right) eyebrow. its unnaturally high up and arched in the wrong direction.

>>3305764
i think you did a great job with this study. fuck that other faggot. i love the face and hair. although i love that the hair is so soft, a tiny bit more texture would have made it pop more. but i don't know what the reference looked like at the same time. keep up the good work!

>>3307484
as much as i love the way you shade, the texture on her forearms make it look like arm hair, which i don't think you intended. also the hands are a little ugly here. but everything else is beautiful as always

>>3307878
i like it

>>3308024
First one is indeed superior. Just manually select her upper body and bring it lower, then paint in the gaps in accordance with the new perspective. Problem solved.

Also, gimme your textures plx.

Well, I did this. Looking for more refs right now.

Sketchin' around

Well Super Intended Anon, I hope you are ready for an unforgettable luncheon.

>>3310500
Blog?

Is this vore?

I think I won't take this further anymore.

Here's a fucking wojak I don't know anymore and please don't save it, I did it personally just for me and I hope I never find it walking around /b/ or reddit

>>3311817
Btw, I wanted to reply to you too. I'm the guy who drew the wojak This is extremely good and I hope you get a lot of (you)'s because you deserve them

Comment

Some Bridgeman studies.

Did this silly underdrawing today. First time trying to draw something proper in my new iPad Pro. Just done a couple of studies till now but I gotta say I fucking love this thing! The brush engine is amazing.

Going to paint/render this in Photoshop. I'm trying to go for a pretty traditional look.

>>3304577
yoooo original pic w/o the text pls???? and whos the artist

>>3312058
Great composition. Please upload it at least 2560x on the longer end when you're done. I'd love to have it as a wallpaper.

Unhappy with the anatomy and pose, particularly with the resting arm and legs. But I'm not exactly sure what could've been done to improve them.

Can't believe I'm actually almost done with this but I basically just gotta finish the eyes and mouth and slap on a background.

How do you feel about these eyes? I feel like there's something off but I can't put my finger on it (besides the lack of eyebrows, I'll get to that). Also, anyone got suggestions for a smug mouth expression at this angle?

>me being slow

>>3312243
The way you've shaded it makes it look like, at a glance, that her right thigh is significantly thicker than her left. I feel like the left foot should be more in front and therefore the left leg should take up more space than the right. Her right shoulder looks like it goes way too low and her left arm looks much thicker than her left (i.e, her right arm has that whole Popeye shape going on whereas the left one looks bigger in the upper half).

>>3312238
Looks great. Blog?

>>3312058
I feel like it would look better if Bondrewd wasn't turning his head towards the viewer but was looking at Idofront instead. I also feel like his head is disproportionately small. I love the composition though.

That's some nice clean vector-looking shit ya got there!

Don't have a blog yet. I need to make an instagram account though. I just made a YouTube channel like 20 minutes ago. where I'm going to post some timelapse stuff and possibly tutorials in the future when I "git good". Here's a timelapse of the orc drawing so far:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NkVlcx1LVs

I'm 10min. into my underpainting now...

>>3312317
you basing it off the rapoza tutorial?

>>3311529
‘S cute. Good job. Looks technical because it’s detailed, not gestural. That’s okay. Do what you want. Keep experimenting with color, value, and figure ground relationships. Nice jon

>>3311626
I like the color scheme for what it’s worth. Not hard to look at :) reminds me of 101 Dalmatians, the old animated version.

>>3311817
This is great. You could be drawing concept art for horror films. Reminds me of The Thing concepts

>>3311540
Thank you for the feedback anon, you da man. I think I might know where the technical look came from. I been reading a book about plants and while I do really like the illustrations on the book, but they are really technical. It`s not really an art book but more of a informative book on plants. I most likely started to take ques from it without realizing. I did not really have a sort of look in mind for these, outside of making them not look like garbage.

>>3312257
Thank you dude, sorry no blog yet, still working on getting my fundies up to snuff.I am not very good with stylized stuff yet(pic), but I think the lack of eye browns is what makes the eyes look a bit weird. Maybe have her do one of those annoying smirks or perhaps have her mouth open a bit, like she is taunting/mocking someone?

>>3311794
I didn't even know what vore was before I started this

>>3312349

Not really. Don't know if you've seen the orc tutorial but he doesn't work quite like this. I bought it when it came out and Dave has definitely influenced my style. I fucking love the guy!

I'm basically trying to emulate what I learned at a traditional art (charcoal/oil) course I took a couple of months ago as strictly as possible. Most recently I've been looking at tutorials from Maxim Verehin and you can definitely see some of his infcluences in my workflow as well...

Most of my digital work tends to come off looking "extremely digital" and I'm trying to get away from that.

>>3312358
Thank you too, anon. Does technical also translate to stiff in this case? Just wondering because you mentioned gestural here.I try to do a pretty loose gestural drawing under with a marker, but It kinda does get lost under everything when I am done. Somebody told me to cool it with the details and I did try, but it seems I was not able to escape my detail lusting mind.

wip. currently no idea what to do with background

>>3312487
wrong img

>>3312488
For a moment I thought you painted a photorealistic hand and called it a WIP lmao

>>3311111

WIP. dont know if i want to fill in the eyes

Limited myself to doing this in 30 minutes to avoid getting lost in details...

Can someone please give me advice I could carry onto the next one? I'm particularly struggling with hair, I know I'm supposed to visualise it as clumps/ribbons but I'm finding it difficult to get into the right mindset for it.

>>3312536
bruh...

Time to hit the bars again! If somebody could give me some feedback while I'm gon I'd be pretty fucking happy <3.

Made a quick placeholder beard for him. Not sure if I like it...

>>3312692
Im really loving the progress on this, the details are pretty sick.
>>3312536
Its true your hair is not looking the best but in relation the rest of the comp is still looks alright. Your eye is keen and the line work is extremely good and id love to see more of your work.
>>3312525
Id fill it in, I dig the angry duck.
>>3312488
This is really neat!
>>3312363
These are cute but theres a lack of emotion in the eyes, i feel thats something to work on.
>>3312257
Somethings off about her eyes, also wheres her eyebrows?
>>3312243
I like the idea but overall balance in the image is off.
>>3312145
That eye knows what up.
>>3312058
I like it, keep going.
>>3311796
Evil elf, cant go wrong with that.
>>3311742
If this was painted in oil id hang this up.
>>3311626
Colors feel a little flat. Adding shadows in the hair and clothes would help alot.

I got a small sketchbook dump if anyone interested in critiquing. If not heres my Yakuza cat.

>>3312714
Heres another WIP, not sure what to do with the background.

I do comic, what think?

>>3312822
The letters bother me a bit, but I'm digging your rendering.

I've started about a month ago. And just finished this one. I also like to draw on paper.

>>3312714

Thanks for the kind words! Just did another practice sketch, this time for hour - spent more time on the hair but still feel like I'm lacking understanding on how to approach it..

>>3307062
Drawing a gay position. Pic isnt twerking ass out.
Maybe thats your interpretation. your style.
Nigga you gay?

here's a praying man I sculpted

>>3312875
oops wrong picture, here's a praying man I sculpted

>>3312842
Looks better but it just looks like the time you put into the rest of the face is miles ahead of the hair. Even compare his ear to his hair in the back. The detail in the ear is crips and well done but then theres like a lazy scribble for the highlight in the hair behind it. In short you dont like drawing hair so you dont put in the effort. The block only exists because you put it there.

IMO

long way to what exactly?

>>3312901
Making something that dosent take 15 minutes

Well. I'm working on my final grade project. I just have to look for an excuse to draw basically. My idea is this hypothetical phone game about a brother and a sister driving a car trough a skyscraper's floors looking for his father during a zombie apocalipse. I know the idea is not very well thought, and I'm still not sure how the game would be played, but here are some sketches for the concept, the characters and an illustration

>>3312908
Btw, the name is just a placeholder. I still have to thing about a funny name

>>3312714
Thank you for the feedback anon! Yeah the eye (supposed to be a cyclops, not sure if I communicated that very well with the drawing) is emotionless, you are right anon. The character is supposed to be a sort of too cool for school type, but I should still not make it emotionless. I made a lot of stupid mistakes with this page, like using wrong type of paper for markers and the character does not really seem to keep on model, but I tried making it more expressive n shit.

>>3304698
Looks like an octagenarian 9 year old

>>3312917
I think pupil placement has a huge play in how a character is made to feel. With these the attitude and general outlook of the character is easer to understand. Keep at it with the cyclops and adjust not only pupil location but remember that hair moves as well even if its only slightly.

>>3306769
Disagree. This lighting would kill the aweso,e storytelling.

>>3306529

Hey where did you vanish to? Your deviantart is deleted and stuff. Are you ok?

Live near you and just want to make sure you’re ok... love your work.

Why'd you shade her upper lip? Dundodat...

>>3312923
Thanks dude, I will keep working on it and pay attention on what you mentioned.
>>3313006
Thank you anon, I like the weard face on left. The pilot(?) also looks cool.

>>3312879

Thanks, that helps! I don't like drawing hair because I'm terrible at it, I'll try to put in more effort and look at how other artists approach it.

>>3313029
>>3311796

Made quick overpaintings on both of these. In the BW one I just deleted the herpes from her upper lip (like I said you should) and I moved her lips and chin up just a tiny boit. I also faided some of the outlining you had around her irises. I think you should learn to lose some edges especially on smooth skin. Otherwise this looks pretty good and I like how you put that poetic shit in your post. Classy as fuck.

For the red chick I tried to softer her skin up a bit and tried to make her nose more "beautiful". I know it was just a sketch and I loved all those hard strokes on your original thing but (might be personal preference) I like to see some smooth skin on my demon bitchez! I also tried to give her some nice highlights on parts that make her look more effeminate. Upper cheek. Top of lip. Side of nose. Corner of eye. Corner of forehead.

Also implied that she might be looking at the camera. Her looking to the side of the image kind of lead me off the page and I think it'd work better this way...

Anyways I fucking love this one.You should apply for Blizzard or some shit whigga!

>>3313121

Fuck. Forgot my image.

>>3313121

Sorry for the typos dudes/dudettes. I think I'm more drunk than I thought I was. Hope I won't regret doing this in the morning. Just take it with a bucket of salt.

>>3313122

Fuck. I sent the wrong version of the BW chick. This is the one where I moved her mouth and chin up a bit. Daymn...

>>3313135
I agree with the upper lip and the composition change (though, not that drastic) but the facial features were fine the way they were. Especially because it's a portrait (and even then...)

Thanks!

>>3304577
this was drawn from scratch, tips on improvement?

>>3312970
Finished it

>>3312257
How about now?

Flipped because >duplicate file

finished this a couple days ago

>>3313603
Like the lighting

goof

Here is my latest one, I know I am far from perfect but I am really happy that still evole everytime I draw by just having fun with it!

I need more practice than ever but I am still happy with the result so far.
