repost from the alt style thread

I decided to start drawing pornos for practice in value and rendering. Here's one I did today. I can post the reference and one more if anyone's interested.

I'm about to redo this, please tear it apart so I'm fully aware of everything I should fix/avoid.

I’ve just decided to get into art a month ago, and shit how long does it take to understand basic anatomy when you’ve been practicing every day?

You gotta size down those damn hands down and make them simpler.

ah fuck why didnt anyone tell me sooner. guess ill be more careful next time.

>>3468991
i actually like them, dont listen to that brainlet

>>3468989
Blog? Really like this. Especially the way you painted the bucket.

>>3469038
I'll make a blog when I get a better work ethic

>>3469017
but he's right tho. I had a bit of trouble with the pinky and fugged the whole hand up.

some progress

>>3469110
i like everything except the little girl. it's just so stiff, and she has short arms

>>3469117
maybe I could give her a different pose changing her legs because i'm to lazy to repaint her completely

Can anyone help me out with her lower half? She's not showing anything lewd, but for some reason I'm just struggling with her legs. Redline it if you want. Thanks guys

>>3469174
pretty sick design, how fast do you think it goes? maybe 90kts?

>>3468991
I thought it was your style! Animaniacs!

>>3469233
i have no idea what youre doing

>>3468989
this looks and feels like a horror piece somehow.
that poor poor girl.

>>3469291
Yeah sorry about that. I was just trying to quickly define a thumbnail a little more. What I showed was the edge of the canvas, so there wasn't really more beyond what was left.
Thanks friend, it makes more sense now!
>smooch

>>3469285
Youre joking...right?

>>3469295
ur welcom

painted a lighthouse

>>3468805
will you
Give me what I need

>>3469294
the girls gets "50% off"

Anyone here follow Tgweaver? Have done some fan art/fan comics of his work. Simple style,but very expressive

>>3469320
Part 2

>>3469301
you will never be a girl

>>3469323
>>3469320
Why do you like to shill yourself?
Your art is shit. Please be critical or you'll never improve

>>3469301
really nice

Critique plz

Shoot wrong picture

>>3469280

Thanks! I was inspired by the Gee Bee Z, but I wanted it to be incredibly cheap and easy to fabricate.

With a very high pitch prop it might reach 90 knots going straight down. The control surfaces would lock up and part of the rudder would rip off.

Fire away.

It's also a sort of balancing act. With a $2000 kart engine the wings would have to be unsheeted to save weight, so the covering could detach at high speeds like in The Wind Rises. With an $8000 paraglider motor you could have solid material under the covering and the exposed cockpit might become the limiting factor.

>>3469389
i forgot that modern aircraft are stupid fast compared to old stuff. even still some of our single prop stuff flies at 90kts with landing gear down.

First time drawing hair, any tips or advice? General critiques welcome too.

>>3469396
Too tight and neat. Add loose and stray hairs to make it feel more natural.

>>3469405
thanks anon will do

did another one

>>3469338
but anon, I was born with a vagina, ovaries, and uterus.

>>3469538
hi im >>3469537
want to have babies?

>>3469174

can someone help me fix this loli's arm anatomy?
she's supposed to be like, making a snow angel in leaves

>>3469385
oo das nice
Nice line work, great use of tapered lines.
Hand uner the tray coudl use a little work, the burger and onion rings could use some work to better match the linework in the rest of the piece
but if I were you I'd just go into coloring, those errors arn't glaring

>>3470142
her arms are just wait too short man

>>3470146
goddamnit I ran out of paper space
I will have to redraw the whole stupid thing

but thank you for your help anon

>>3470142
>>3470146
Okay I'm back
Does this fix that stupid shit?
I realized that I could just print out my photoshop fixed sketch and trace it on a light table instead of having to redraw it all

>>3468832
Samefag here. Would appreciate critique. Trying to get better at digitalI'm a traditional artist, usually.

>>3470290
Yuck, take it to the porn thread or beg.
Definite problems with that facial construction. You're getting the idea that it needs to be foreshortened and the face is further down on the head when its pointed down, but its too extreme or just doesn't look like its attached to the head. It may look unnattached because there aren't strong lines to define the actual headshape as opposed to the face.

wip

I think you belong over there, anon

Is he supposed to be a manlet?

>>3470537
Is it fixed or not anon? ;-;

feedback on this drawing I made of my brother?

phone doodle

I went with a more cerebral approach to this piece

Also this version but I felt like it's too 'lively' for macabre creature

>>3470264
shorten forearns a lil
but i'd say the main problem is it looks kind of like she's ODing instead of making a leaf angel. whats the face for

A wip of some oc fanart for an artist I like, already logged 2 hours into it. Planning on harsh rimlighting coming from behind and to the left. Mostly dissatisfied w/ the lower torso, any advice before I continue rendering this out?

>>3470638
Cute! Silhouette a little hard to read however, try making the pose a bit clearer.

>>3470704
I actually prefer this one, I think the greens might be pumped up a little too high on the first??

>>3470714
navel goes higher

>>3469110
I feel like this needs stronger lighting on the girl to make her stand out more clearly against the background.

>>3468805

>>3470860
Edge control please. Harsher edges, especially on the outline of the form. Be sure to have a strong balance between soft and hard edges. A little more range in your values wouldn’t hurt either, add some lighter areas of color to break up the monotony.

TL;DR, shit’s too fuzzy and shit’s too dark

>>3470884
Lol I meant lighter areas of value on the figure but whatever you get what I mean dude

>>3470707
ok tanks
she's supposed to look "lost in though"

WIP, gonna add more red stripes, need hrlp with shading. I feel like there's not enough contrast, but it's already more contrasty than the reference

>>3470630
The glasses look really out of place, either put the harsh black outline on those as well or don't use the outline at all. I like the neck tho

>>3469396
It's too perfect, also you may want to consider adding some brighter highlights depending on what kind of lighting you're imagining her in. Also the ear looks unfinished

>>3469405
>>3470947

This is what i've come up with so far.. Working on ear + hair highlights now. I still think the hair could look more natural, but i'm not sure how to achieve that.

ok

Here's some trash lol

>>3470400

The legs are too damn short, midget legs

>>3471027
>those feet
Delicious construction, saying that as a non-feetfag.
Also I can't tell if that's a pussy mound or balls, but if it's the former, it's reading way too far down the pelvis and too close to the anus. But I have a feeling you're some who generally draws the latter, and I'm not sure about that placement.

>>3470714
Those are some wonky lookin boobs you got there

How do you paint faces?? Like... I feel confident painting everything else, but faces always look absolutely disgusting. Tips?
I'm not sure how I'm supposed to go about defining the facial features without it looking like flat garbage

>image unrelated
>it's a warm-up thing I never finished from a month or two ago
>which doesn't really have a good example of my struggling sorry I've painted only a handful of times digitally

The arm is little bit fucked I still need practice it's my first digital drawing

If you have thoughts or advices to improve I'll be happy to hear them

how is >>3469233 /beg/? Seems way better than the other guys you mentioned

>>3471528

Jesus Chris I really need improvement

I tried drawing a bird
I think I might have a drawing disability

It's turning out to be hard to read and the colors are too strong. I want to simplify this but I'm not sure where to start.

>>3471417
You could try posting a page of studies and faces you've drawn from imagination so we can tell you what the recurring mistakes are.

>>3470704
The drawing is awesome but it's kinda monochrome right now. The skin would look even more macabre with a more natural lighting. Great concept though.

>>3471792
This looks nice! I’d suggest upping the light coming from the buildings to illuminate the character’s silhouettes a bit more. Either that or make the bg darker and the characters brighter.

>>3471792
The background is all spaghetti

Maybe have the shapes break outside the cloud forms, or reduce the city to simple dots, like you would imagine when seeing a city at night from afar


Atm it looks kind of akira inspired with that massive glow

>>3470698
Either or for these, but you could experiment with darkening the figure a bit so the rim lifting is a stronger contrast

>>3470609
imo it’s kind of hard to make soft edges look good with more graphical work like this. Have you tried painting flats and then hatching for softer gradiation- or just leaving flat and designing the shapes.

Jonny hall might be some inspo for that

>>3469537
>>3469540
You’re not good enough to be shitposting anon

>>3470348
Thanks for your insights. How should I proceed? I was working from a photo, just painting what I see.
Also, I'd like pointers on better rendering if anyone can lend advice.

>>3471528
>>3471673
if you want a quick tip, just leave your drawing to sit there for a while until you have a better judgement, then mirror it and try fixing it with some distortion or warping tool and paint over it.

Is what I do anyway.

>>3470787
>>3470787
you are right, I'm going to work on that thanks anon

>>3469993
I fucking love stuff like this.

man painting is hard.

>>3471873


Hey don't worry dude just keep practicing and you'll eventually improve. Also nice digital painting it's always good to use references for when you paint as practice.

>>3471846

Thank you so much

>>3471281
its not really anything at the moment. Think of it as more a pelvic centerline instead of any kind of genitalia. Makes it easier to eyeball other stuff since the entire region is just a trapezoidal prism.

>>3471863
Thanks dude!

>>3469110
finished

>>3470698
I prefer the darker one (first one)
the second one looks like that pink guy from dragon balls

>>3471685
Her shirt or whatever ends in a way so it indicates a box-shaped torso, which gives it form. This might have given you the illusion that it is better than the other crap, since noone in this board has the IQ to comprehend form and those who do are worshiped as gods even if they suck.

What I'm saying is: everything sucks, the chicken scratch lines, the anatomy, the face, the fact that it's unfinished (which is the worst offender)
I wouldn't even call it unfinished, no, it is rather "started", as in "started to draw for three minutes, stopped and decided to upload the sketch on 4chan".

yes i do fap to my own creations

>>3472187
damn you polished it well, especially the robot.

Decided to go full autistic and draw something with the Scott Robertson techniques.
Can anyone see any issues in my perspective?
I want to make sure its absolutely perfect before i start cleaning it up and rendering.

>>3472268
the whole right side is off as fuck

>>3471666
There you have it Satan
https://www.instagram.com/jordi_milian/

>>3471829
Honestly you might be right. Also, I got a bit lazy and used a shading layer, so the shadows looked kinds greyish and boring
I like Joony and I somehow tried his approach even though my drawing is a bit different than his style.
Now the problem that i see is the the pallette has gone all over the place. I will have to make some adjustments later
Thanks for the crit anon

>>3469396
All the soft brush looks like this was a 3d model, get some texture in there

>>3471667

nobody ever comments on my work, i think because its either boring, not very good or both, but i like painting thicc so im conflicted over whether i give a fuck

you should always paint wht you like to paint over what others like to see but still. having 40 followers doesnt feel good by any stretch

>>3472318
is pic related? its because it looks like shitty photobashed faces pasted on bodies with bad anatomy

and the highlights triggered the shit out of me

How do you sharpen Conté a Paris charcoal pencils? I thought this was hilarious and it reminds me of the people in my town.

>>3472345
ye pic related, but thanks for commenting anyway i dont often even get told whats wrong. dont photobash btw, and i understand my anatomy is wack

been updating paintings tonight instead of starting new stuff

>>3472248
thanks man

>>3472318
>>3472407
>>3472345
It’s not photobashed they’re just heavily reliant on reference and don’t understand brush economy or shapes yet.

Look at the content you put out. What audience are you appealing to? What storytelling and design elements are you incorporating?

>>3472318
In my opinion to improve your work you need to mantanin your values clear (and clean)
try to limit to 3 values lik this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcCJ2CU-bFw&t=497s

also I follow you in IG and understand you, have few people viewing your work sucks but its part of the journey I suppose. dont give up and keep pushing forward m8.

Any problems before I move on?

Anything I should change before I move on?

>>3472425
what will you do with your1000 selfportraits?

>>3472577
The hand seems small or just flat. I can't find a similarly posed image other than pic related but note how there are three planes of the hand shown. Maybe try keeping it a similar size but changing the orientation of the gauntlet so you can see the pinky side more would help it look less flat. Rendering would help but I think that it could still be worth a touch up.

Didn't realize the image wouldn't allow hotlinking.

>>3472220
Someone has had too much crab.

You're also an idiot, simple as that. That piece is FAR better than the others and it LOOKS like the artist just started it probably because they DID. You can still see the basic gesture sketch underneath, which by the fuzzy-ness of it, makes me think it was probably a thumbnail they resized?

How I draw personally, I go thumbnail, sketch, refined sketch, line work, then flats and rendering. Based off that for me, it'd probably be like 10 minutes of work probably. Not much.
Sure, anon still isn't amazing based JUST on that image, but they're LEAGUES above the other anons you (you)'d.
Go crab somewhere else.

>>3472750
hahaha you are probably just as bad

>>3472774
bad crab bait

Critique, tips, anything is welcome.

Specifically looking for tips on how to use SAI better overall, rendering linework blending linework in, etc. aswell as what looks off

I ve been drawing for 3 days and this is like my 5th drawing, is it okay so far? Can I make it? I m a 21 y o romanian boi

>>3469385
Really nice anon, can you give me some tips about linework? What program do you use and what your process looks like?

>>3472820
That's really good if its really only after 3 days.
You can feel the form nicely and the values are broad.

How do I draw like Disney animators?

I was trying to draw Alice in Wonderland today but I'm finding it really really hard.

>>3472885
Thank you for responding !

>>3469409
Cursed image

Wondering what others think about this style. Doesn't take too much effort, took around an hour, probably.

>>3473058
is good. could probably use black outlines or linework tho

>>3473092
Huh, I usually leave the lines black, but I thought it might look more polished if I colored it somewhat. Thanks for your comment!

>>3472817
You ignored the very saturated blue midtones. Seriously, colour pick from right where the brighter skin starts to meet shadow and compare it to the same location on yours.
Use a softer smaller brush also. A lot of the edges are too hard (around lips, eyes, ear, hair. hell, pretty much everywhere.) and its clear you went into rendering details before you should have. Work in larger areas of generalized shades/color before you get into the smaller ones.

>>3469993
dude nice. looks like he's waiting to pop a cap injun style
>>3470704
reminds me of the chick in MGSR with more emphasis on the body horror. I like the tiddy press, very nice. She also looks m o i s t

try lowering the eye on the far side... or raise the other. They're a bit uneven. like me some anime side tidd
>>3471792
I'd point out to separate the blue sweater lady's arm from the rest of her body because it looks like her arm is coming out of her stomach. I really like the geometric shapes you're pulling off, it's nothing I can do but I like it when artists do this(have you seen Rafal Wojtunik's stuff?)
>>3471873

that's obviously a woman. Jk lol

>>3473116
will keep in mind, I tried to bump the contrast which may have been a bad idea. Also I try not to colour pick straight from the image because I assumed that was something I should try to learn? Seeing the colour for what it is I mean. Thanks for the reply <3

>>3470704

the head is very strange. it looks like it's two heads tall

>>3468901
cute

4 days since i started drawing, how is it?

>>3473185
>Rafal Wojtunik
I didn't know the guy but I like his stuff. Thanks for all the critiques by the way.

I like the design you've made. The face is kinda hard to read, you can probably refine your volumes with a darker pencil, maybe even do it digitally.

>>3472817
Not the same person, trace the proportions and you will see what I mean.
Also, it needs some mid tones

>>3473466
I usually stick to lighter pencils because I have commitment issues, and I have no clue how to do stuff digitally. I have the tutorial website from the sticky, but I'm stuck in my comfort zone right now.

>>3473185
>looks like a chick I dated in san antonio...oh man I'm having flashbacks

lol best comment I've ever received on something I drew

>>3472820
Why does every single beginner feel the need to almost boast about how long they've been drawing? I see this shit everywhere.

>>3473459
Perspective looks a bit off. The inset for the door and windows is hella THICC too, looks like they're 2-3 feet wide. Unless you're trying to make that building a blast proof bunker, you might want to move those windows farther out. Other than that, it's a pretty generic 2 point perspective drawing. It kind of looks like you did the "public high school art class" perspective thing where you draw a horizon line, pick vanishing points, and then draw your objects. If you're doing that, you're putting the cart before the horse. You'll want to start off with a rough composition, freehand the basic shapes and perspective, then find your vanishing points based on that and use them to make sure your perspective is consistent. Try Drawabox and learn how to free hand boxes, and also read Ernest Norling's Perspective Made Easy, it's a pretty simple beginner's guide to perspective.

I need help.
My bamboo is having a very odd issue where it's working only when I tilt it.
Even the eraser isn't detected, so I must draw with my pen at an odd angle, and it started today.
I'm going back home soon and have my cintiq there but I really hope my bamboo doesn't just die, I love that little board.

>>3473716
Damn this looks like a valuable tip my man, thank you

wip
hips look weird or is it just me?

>>3473804
what's wrong with her face? in general it's not a great pose and hard to tell with how unfinished it is

>>3473804
Kinda hard to tell. Refine the sketch more and we'll see.

>>3472187
This is better but I was thinking of her with a stronger rimlight. It doesn't need to be brighter necessarily but thicker, bolder, and pretty much up and down the entire sides of her form. Looks nice anyway.

>>3472236
Super cool.
>>3472577
Her cranium is missing, her breasts are much too close together, specifically the one on the left.
>>3472750
All rating posts are bait anon, you must know this.
>>3473547
Very Moebius, I like it and your others a lot.

>>3473726

I have no idea, my dude. That's a really specific problem that I've never heard of before. The only thing I can suggest is to uninstall and reinstall the driver, beyond that I got nothing.

Good stuff in this thread, keep up the good work.

first time doing a digital piece besides some photo studies

>>3474008
also this. I’ve posted it before but didn’t get any crits

>>3471889
thanku anon. i'll try

>>3474010
I like this. I think the inside of the ear is weird and distracting and the shadows are too grey and need some colour but other than that it's nice

one of the worst draw threads I've seen in years. Holy fuck, you're all terrible. You can "post work" all you want. That still doesn't make my statement any less true. you al belong in the beginners thread.

Fuck me, this is just really frustrating to see.

>>3468805
I love heather

>>3474607
Yeah, I had a feeling you'd say that. It's difficult when you're building up your knowledge of working with value and shapes of value. Many people have a tendency to go too subtle, and harsher contrast looks too jarring at first. I would encourage you to keep pushing value in your images as you continue because it can be a powerful asset if one learns how to balance it. The picture is pretty nice though, good luck on your future works.

>>3473251
Post work

Extremely late to this, but try moving her ear up towards her eye-level, and her thigh/butt shouldn't extend as far down as it does, so I'd pull it closer to the front part of her leg.

Still in early stages, but anything to critique?

>>3474465
Y-you too anon

>>3475357
should start with a midtone gray background. your values are too light, low contrast, washed out. midtone gray background would help direct those values to be more balanced and rich.

>>3475364
Thanks m8, I'll keep those in mind.

>>3475357
The silhouettes and gestures are very unclear, you could definitely exaggerate them more. Spread their bodies out some. Dragons are supposed to be big, let them dominate the composition instead of cramping them in the bottom left corner. You could also bump up the depth by making one closer to the foreground.

>>3475273
the girl on her backside doesn't seem to be in perspective with the table, the hand is a a bit lazy and the colors are just sucky in general

>>3475617
Where are those hips? They look huge in contrast with the rest of her body. DRAW OUT THE LEGS to figure out the cloth's gravitiy points. Also I can't see one of the arms and its bothering me.
Good linework

>>3469993
reminds me of stalenhag, pretty cool

>>3476942
Thank you! I actually wasn't thinking of those Stalenhag robots but I see the resemblance now that your bring it up. Either way I appreciate the compliment :)

Just did this

Curious if y’all can tell what’s going on

>>3477583
theyre being sucked into that thing? or are they testing some bigger robot with smaller limbs?

>>3477583
look like the girl is using tool (glove) to control giant hand which is grabbing or creating something

>>3477583
dunno what the two back girls are doing

>>3477583

Designed a new character for a story that's main visual thing is clouds and the weather, so I wanted to make an outfit with that in mind. The hat and puffy neck wrap demand a lot of attention so I'm not sure I should add anything else, don't want it to be overdesigned.

WIP. So far, I can tell that the perspective needs some tweaking, the edges need some tweaking and there're some awkward spots in the form in the legs. Not sure if this palette registers as muddy or just muted.

Anything I missed?

>>3479300
Palette looks okay on my phone screen but I would either adjust the weird green hue or bring it into the rest of the parts also why are you painting on a black background? Use a mid tone gray

>>3479309
I painted everything in one layer, so the model is pretty well embedded in the background, unfortunately.

But that's okay, it's not meant to have a background or anything. It's just a repaint of an older painting as a fun little fundamentals exercise. It was originally a concept art piece rather than an illustration or anything actually artistic.

Have you been drawing bald people or something? The face is pretty solid for someone who just painted hair for the first time ever, even taking into account the fact that it's copied from a photo.

Keys to drawing "pepper from imagination" vs pepper from reality, am i disabled?

>>3479399
Now do the same with a kangaroo

>>3479290
the colour scheme is interesting choice. do you want her to blend in to the clouds and sky or stand out from them?

>>3479719
I put orange in there to really make her pop because I want to have her bound and glide through cloudscapes that the story would have that people can stand on. Blue and orange is so common, it not as much as on characters, and even less so when you invert the usual scheme where the blue is dominant.

>>3479399

This is why you need to build a visual library through rigorous studying

>>3479290
Dude, this is legit.
It kind of has a classic anime/Osamu Tezuka-esque aesthetic, especially in the face. I love it.

>tfw realistic portraiture takes too long, so you do your first anime but it still takes one and a half days

made this during class today, trying to draw my clasmates again.

how did I do?

>>3480201
looks good to me

>>3480056
awesome!

>>3480201
a lot better than the last time.

>>3480056
looks intricate for sure... can't tell for the life of me wtf is going on

>>3480272
her hand looks like its resting on the edge of a surface instead of a flat surface which im assuming was your goal unless shes laying next to a cliff

her shoulder looks fuckie. it might look strange cus her head looks too slow/the perspective has failed. covering her head the torso looks much more successful. (unironically did you trace then plop a stylized head there lol ?) the perspective of the face isn't pushed enough, I think.
your hatching also makes me cringe but im gonna ignore it cus im hoping its not actually meant to denote volume and is there for some other aesthetic purpose and will go away when you complete the picture

>>3479290
Lovely! You got a blog?

>>3480272
are you a discount firez?

>>3480303
I think that's actual firez

>>3480324
that must hurt, being called a discount version of yourself

>>3480286
Thanks for the critique, I will try to tackle those points, the image isn’t traced I’m using some references for it though. Maybe I will let it rest to see things more clearly.

I think that trying to mix values with lines was a mistake

Pic related is another wip

>>3479990
If it takes too long do your studies just with lines , minimal hatching and some well placed occlusion points.

>>3473804
fuck man I flipped it and it was beyond fucked, can't believe I forgot to do that
tried to fix it best I could, anything else funky?

Didn't expect a positive response. I'm flattered. Ain't got a blog, I just post stuff on 4chan. I don't wanna flood this thread with other characters I have in the works, maybe I oughta make a thread.

>>3480395
I see the values you're goin for are soft, but even around skeletal landmarks the value shifts seem pretty even and smooth. Not sure if you used a ref or not, but if you didn't, I'd look for some and see how values change around the bones that are more prominent.

>>3479344
Well it's my first time drawing a portrait. I would normally bullshit the hair in sketches

>>3471873
Keep mirroring the image. If it's supposed to be a 100% copy, then there's a bit of symbol drawing. For example, the dog, the artists right arm (negative space), the face. Keep going and you'll soon improve!

Would love to get some critique. It's supposed to be a "superman type characer". Can't get the facial features right.

Is this firez? Because if it is that’s really disappointing. If you can’t do something there’s no harm in using a reference. The head and shoulder placement looks really bad and makes her look like a hunch back also the feet look terrible like a trolls feet. The ass and pussy also just look awful.

Here's some tips, it's not perfect but hopefully it helps :)

I'm pretty confident about this one but just double checking to see if my perspective is off. Let me know if my shit is fucked dudes.

I'm 3469374 and I tried going into the beginner thread but it doesn't seem to exist anymore

>>3481431
the the perspective of the horns and the way they're attached looks kind of weird and inconsistent

her left thigh looks like a balloon

spend a bit more time on her left ear, doesn't look quite right from that perspective and also pretty symbol-y

Allright everybody I just need you to answear this real quick, ok?
Does this look like a believable mobile game menu screen?

I came back to this drawing I had left on hold because of time, I'll move into the coloring/choosing the colors I'll use/painting stage.

And nothing will go wrong in that phase. Nope, nothing at all. It will be soooo quick and easy, so satisfactory and absolutely stress-free, oh boy...

>>3481431
>>>/beg/

Hey guys. I'm starting up something that I hope I will be able to refine into a portfolio piece. I was just wondering if there was anything off about it or that needs to be adjusted

>>3481685
your palette isn't saturated enough that or I think you need to adjust the colors of the menu

>>3471016
I think it looks natural and you've got good stray hairs and highlights, but the hair looks very soft, like unnaturally soft. I'm not a digital painter so I don't really know how to do this, but if you could make a rougher texture that would most likely help

>>3481702

>>3480301

>>3481843
Ooh thanks dude! This looks really cool and makes me notice things I could've done better

>>3480056
The intricacy is nice, though I think too much detail has been put into every section. Some areas of less detail may allow for more clarity.

>>3480056
I see your Kim Jung Gi fanatism there, anon. I actually like it, but the problem with adopting such a specific style is that you will be compared to him a lot and considering how insane that man is, you'll likely be called "poor man's Kim Jung Gi". If you use these for the development of your own personal style, then something else just as interesting might surge from it, there's potential so keep at it (but don't box yourself too much).

The helmet is nice, guards on the hip are alright, so why lose the motif after the helmet? no hermes boots (or hermes kneecaps), no crest on the breastplate, nothing. it gets boring and loses you because the motif is gone. its minimal but maybe too much so.

i saw the post where you said its a repaint but keep this in mind methinks

>>3482069
What are Hermes boots(kneecaps)? Not being a smartass, I actually want to know.

I can definitely do something to make the design more interesting than the original. But just for comparison-sake, here's what I'm working from.

>>3481692
Hey, I guess it's not going so bad after all. At least until I look at it next morning and want to redo everything and/or kms :D
What I'd like to do next is make it feel like a colder environment, and add vegetation without fucking it all up
Any critiques so far? (on color and composition, not rendering for obvious reasons)

>>3482074
he means with the little wings on the boots like Hermes/Mercury is usually depicted with

>tfw your work sits right in the valley of being good enough to be not mocked but bad enough to not draw any attention and get help

>>3480056
like kim jung gi without the readability and charm

>>3482029
Here you go anime kid, you can draw the rest.

>>3480490
Thanks, I worked more on giving the body some sharp edges I will try to work some moreover on it before posting it again

>>3482133
this.

It's my first time trying this. how's my accuracy? I think if I do this enough I could honestly start seeing this in my mind when I look at a normal person #goals

help me

>>3482400
Your style is very cute and has great proportions! I would recommend working on face angles because the full eye is a bit wonky considering the face is at sort of a profile angle, also changing the placement of the bang roots would give the hair more definition and volume. Really great piece however!

i fucked up the abs

>>3482515
do yourself a favor and use bigger paper

>>3482533
yeah, its hard to add details in a small paper, idk why i did this in my sketchbook lol

>>3480478
Done with this and moving on, anything to reflect on?
>>3481367

your edges are too soft. Area on the right could be negative space but there is nothing there,no guide
>>3483134
too dark,but nice comp
>>3483130
great comp,but the re flexion is too dark.You could differentiate sky from water
>>3482121
colors are muddy,like you are making them darker by just adding black.No bueno. We read from left to right.That applies to art too.

He's actually a mediocre illustrator.

>>3483169
>like you are making them darker by just adding black
I literally did not. But still, I guess I know what to do know, because the colors now look muddy to me as well.
> We read from left to right.That applies to art too.
You mean I should flip it?

>>3483460
you lie, he is the only one masterpiecer

Can i get a critique on the right figure? I know the hands and feet need work. And if anyone can recommend resources for drawing renaissance-style draped figures I would really appreciate it.

>>3480056
one thing that will help with readability other than losing some details is line weight, while you have different lines sure but they are all random. decide the direction of light for your drawings and use thinner lines in the light area and thicker in the shadow area. Im sure you are aware of that subject but just a friendly reminder.

Close to finishing this one, any advice?

>>3483787
I'm not a great painter but is there a reason the water in the fountain is outside the color scheme? Also the mask seems almost too bright a value to me. When I squint to see the values, that mask is crazy bright.

Otherwise I like the geometric rendering of the dragon creature.

>>3483801

Yeah I noticed the mask before as well, have to call it done and sent it to the printers already. Still have things that bother me but have to move on to the next piece.

If some one has any other general feedback for me to keep in mind for next work feel free to share.

doing some movie frames for practice

>>3479823
it looks modern. like a jumpsuit with carabiner.

Am I beg anon? Any criticism?

>>3470704
I think maybe coloring the other hands a different shade or color would look cool, maybe gray or blue.

>>3474010
you seem like you draw a lot of floating heads please stop butchering the female body with that anatomy. also try drawing some different face combos instead of big eyes/ tiny nose/ tiny chin etc.

>>3485313
thanks for crit. I don’t draw floating heads, but what makes it seem so?

Tried to draw a friend for a his b-day.

Kinda hate how it looks.

Gonna print and give it to him now, but feedback is still welcome cuz I’m gonna try and fix it later

wip. glaring mistakes before I continue?
