/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Working on this atm, probably should of finished the line art before rendering it, its a bad habit of mine.

Redrew an older drawing

>>3643440
Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.

>>3643491
>three fingers
are you living bait

I’m probably not going to touch this anymore since I kind of hate the lighting, composition, and pose (it was supposed to be an homage to a scene in Drive but the lighting in that scene was mostly that film ambient). I appreciate any critique though that could hopefully help me improve in future works. Also if anyone wants to know the least efficient way to render armor, I’m pretty sure I found it doing this.

>>3643568
Well, I like the lighting anon, it's not epic but feels rather natural surprisingly! The pose is really bland and the proportions feel more like it's a kid. The armor, is it bone? It looks like bone, if it's metal then yeah, it's not working. But I think if you work on your gesture and anatomy, you could do really nice.

doing this thing for my school class. its supposed to have a messege about protecting nature or something.

any tips?

>>3643615
I'm not sure that makes me feel protective, more like fight or flight lol.
I guess you can work on your contrast, although your main figures read, but good darks always give good kicks and drama. I get you put the skull down there to balance the heavy placement of elements on the left side but, it's kind of going towards the outside of the piece, you might want to make it point towards the center instead, or the top "gull".

>>3643614
>>3643568
Thanks!
This was the reference, yeah after rendering it for 4 hours I realized the pose isn’t very dramatic without the context and awesome soundtrack of Drive. From my understanding of the character, the armor is hardened leather.

>>3643619
Tried to remove te skull, sadly i think i cant erase this black or white pencil i've been using. so that kinda sucks.

however I am adding more contrast and it looks pretty nice imo, so tnx :)

gonna do a painting of this

>>3643971
i like your forms! however the arms and shoulders are really stiff. i would loosen that up before painting it.

>>3643971
I thought you already painted it last thread or does all your stuff just look the same?

>>3643600
Good art but very punchable face

>>3643568
It's pretty cool. Though I would try to simplify the darker parts of the armour/ underarmour give it less clarity and make it darker. Also the waist seems a bit narrow. Nothing the liquify tool doesn't fix. Lastly I'd up your rock game. The top part of the cave is really good but the middle sides aren't rendered with a strong indication of form. Feels like you're creating depth of the tunnel by having the next closest layer of rock overlap. But it makes it look like the tunnel is getting narrower as it gets closer. Try using texture to show depth. Like the texture becomes more bunched up the farther it gets. The rock looks really organic but in my rock studies I've noticed they have quite a bit of straight vertical and horizontal lines. Try coordinating that with perspective to get more depth.

>>3643568
Another tip is to remove the torches closest to the foreground. Or dim them a bit. Or fudge the perspective so they are behind the camera. I feel like they draw too much attention away from the focal point of the character.

>>3644038
Lol thought the same

gonna do the rest in a second

>>3644132

>a second

shit tier

>>3644132
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHA

>>3644132
jesus fucking christ

>>3643494
Awesome memes. Great banter. Look witty. Humorous. Amusing. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new meme pics or stale pasta. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' ridiculous, amusing, hilarious and wicked you can get. Thanks for the motivation.

>>3644132
Now, I'm no expert, but I'm gonna go ahead and say you should probably study your anatomy a bit more.

Do gestures - it helps a lot with that.

>>3644132
Now this, Brian, is one of your worst. And that's saying something.

>>3644132

this is actually impressive considering you wiped your ass with canvas.

Well, this is something I did, first attempt at using a Huion GT-221 PRO.
My third attempt at digital art, and first at using an Interactive display.

I am thinking about what kind of clothes to put on him and colour, but I'm not good at colouring at all.

Feel free to tell me if it is trash, I'll still be happy enough with it.

>>3644183

(you)

>>3643971
What's going on Brian? Your pencil work is usually really good, those hands you used to do were quite nice.

>>3643427
Mysterio WIP to ride that Far From Home hype train boii
Spent some time on this, gonna finish tomorrow
Tear it apart please, i hate feeling like i did good for once

>>3644186
Eh?

finished it

>>3644272
Lazy

>>3644076
>>3644086
thanks! I think I got too stuck in the mentality to match >>3643630

>>3644272
I don't understand your thought process behind this style. Why are you choosing to paint this way? I realize it's a conscious decision on your part. I'm not saying it's the wrong choice, just interested to know why.

>>3643600
colored

>>3644542
I haven't painted in ages and I'm not a really good painter but I was getting an odd vibe from the eyes you had, I thought of giving it a go and try a paint over. Basically the highlight there was a tad odd so bright, since you seem to have back lighting but also top lighting as secondary it did make sense a bit to have a highlight there. Still I would not give such a big highlight to the eyes, you can get away with much softer reflections.
Also I softened edges and changed some values because they were making her look old, but maybe that was your intention? Sorry if it was, my mistake.

>>3644469
it's a combination of a bunch of interests of mine, most notably Gauguin's symbolic atmosphere and interest in darker skin tones, the dry painting style of Picasso's neo-classical art, the warped perspectives of Cezanne's still lifes and the texture of clay.

>>3644575
thanks for the paint over (and no it wasnt my intention)

So... I need your help guys. I'm not a beginner when it comes to drawing, but I am new to digital drawing. How the fuck do I make her face not look retarded? I just can't seem to draw anything that looks remotely decent.

gonna do a painting of this

>>3644717
face isn't the worst part. the dress over her thigh is kind of the best part so far lol. my recommendation is to work a bit on another part of the piece and then go back to it. some people render by part moving on to another area after one part is piece by piece, but as you progress in a piece the things you add will alter your perception of what you've done previously. there are a lot of factors at play in a piece so making sure everything works together is important. for now the face looks flat, but there are also problems in the rendering of her arms, and drawing problems in her hand. you might want to establish values in the chair, background and thighs before dialing back in on the face.

>>3644132
yes, this looks like shit, but I think it's good that you post works early in the process and not just finished stuff. I know you can make good stuff so it's interesting to see the process.

>>3644749
heres what I came up with

>>3644855

awful work m8

Im trying hard to get critique on my stuff but everyone is avoiding to be straight forward so I'm asking here.

now then I made this bowsette (like the degenerate I am) and since I only did colourless sketches during my entire time I've been drawing (about 1,5 years) I obviously suck at it.
also what do you recommend to improve faster here or in general

Drew this guy

>>3644855
So you've found big foot? What's the beast like in person?

>>3644920
This style looks so easy and effortless, but when I try it just comes out shit. Any advice besides just practising more?

>>3644916
What I feel makes me improve faster with imagination drawing characters is perspective exercises, anatomy studies (geometric construction from zero or when drawing someone in a pose you try and add the anatomy bits that you see, pic related, not the greatest one, but something I try to do sometimes with the aid of anatomy books) and gesture drawing. In that order.

I would say your pic shows too much symbol drawing, also hiding the hands, the shot framing is a bit boring, among other things. But I couldn't do much better during my first years without studying so just keep it up! Go learn about those things.

>>3644183
>him

Any advice on how I can improve this before calling it done?

>>3644272
I really like the vase and flowers. It is however a bit strange that the main subject seems a bit washed out compared to the background. Your initial sketch had more structure in the face, but you lost it when you started painting. Try to add more of a definite light source and it will help things read better. Even if its heavily stylized, I think the piece could gain a lot from a little more range of values and tones.

>>3645078
Her left side face appears to be in shadow but her left eye is brighter than her right. If you’re not going to render her body as complete as her face for focal reasons, try to use a larger brush size and still push the forms and values a bit. It’s flattening out with crisp edges that make it kind of jarring.

progress!

>>3645108
Are you the same dude that did the merman slaying a dragon a couple of drawthreads ago? Love your shit bruh

>>3645116
I'm a girl actually haha! And no, I don't believe so unless you mean this one?

thanks for the compliments anon : )

>>3645078
really good rendering. but don't bother giving brian advice, he's basically retarded but still functional. just let him do his thing.

>>3645119
BE MY GF! AAAAAAAHHHHH BE MY ART GF!!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH AAAAAAAAAHHH GODDAMNIT IM SO HORNY AND LONELY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

>>3645155

out of pure curiosity what would happen if i said yes

>>3645171

hold hands and plein air together like James Gurney and his wife

>>3645178
is this on the segway that he stuck an easel on or off it

Pretty confused about the lighting, but yeah, it looks like something.

>>3645108
Do you have a blog, you're art is awesome

>>3645188
ah, thanks for your interest! i have an instagram at http://instagram.com/evynfong or artstation at http://artstation.com/evynfong : )

A study I did. took around 15 min. trying to loosen up with the way I paint. any critique would be appreciated

>>3644855
LOL

>>3645119
how u got gud at colors??

>>3645374
I actually think color is one of my weakest points, haha. I only started painting about 2 years ago, but I've been drawing for a lot longer.

What i've learned is that good color is based off of good values- once you get your values looking good and accurate, the hues are just the frosting on the cake and you can manipulate them pretty easily.

Related; did the piece on the bottom, got crit from one of my art heroes to turn it back to b/w and fix my hues, ended up with the one on the top which looks WAY better with no change in value.

I highly recommend the schoolism with dice tsutsumi/robert kondo for learning color!

>>3645414
nice photobashing skills

>>3645244
o hi evyn, i did't know u browsed /ic/, i havent watched ur streams in a while

Haven't drawn in a good while but I started sketching this out earlier, but something about it isn't rubbing me the right way.
Thoughts?

>>3645414
i like the bottom more :( sorry maybe i'm cheesy

>>3644542
Anon I love your work do you post it anywhere??? also i just love how it looks, I even like it more than the paint over some other anon did, I'm not trying to discredit the other anon though.

Currently knocking doors to get a guy I like elected to the US Senate in New Mexico. Gary Johnson. I know, weird pot smoking third party candidate (who is actually in second place), he's an odd one, but I'm into Libertarianism.

And yes, I used a photo and traced the outline of his facial structure (INB4 H8RS), but the eyes, hair, ears, and warts are all my doing.

Anyhow, I wanted to draw something I could throw up on a poster or shirt I could wear while door knocking.

>>3645429

Thanks! But actually the only photo here is the rope- the building, foreground object and pedestal are all 3d models I made and textured. : )

ok got it, thanks!

>>3644932
thanks a lot for the tips! and ups accidentally made a reply without tagging you sorry about that

>>3645244
>>3645171
Are you my gf now?

>>3645244
your mewtwo's lighting and shading is so goood

cheeky study

>>3645548
I guess so! Nice to meet you.

>>3645576
Yessssss

Wanne work with ink again, anyone got any tips, this was my last ink work

>>3645119
this looks sick , u post ur work anywhere anon?

A sort of figure drawing-ish thing from imagination.

>>3645621
nice, is this ink?the muscles above the collarbone and her index finger are a bit weird tho.

>>3645631
Thanks!

No, it's just digital.

I agree that the muscles in general look kinda weird. I still have a lot to learn. Need to study more and draw more.

>>3645621
I don't see anything majorly wrong with it, except the thumb, feels like it's doing a rotation it can't do but with just lines it might just be reading poorly. The style is a bit creepy to my eyes, maybe because of subject's boney looks, but that's something personal to me. So yeah, check out hands a bit more. Oh, the arms feel long but at least both seem to be following that length so maybe it's a style choice.

>>3645636
>creepy
At least it made you feel something real!

I think it's still quite amateur and uninformed. But it's better than what I could do from imagination yesterday, so I'm happy for now.

>>3644132
THIS is what never seeing tits looks like.

>>3644931
shut the fuck up brian.

>>3644855
TETSUO! KANEDA!

>>3645598
>ah, thanks for your interest! i have an instagram at http://instagram.com/evynfong or artstation at http://artstation.com/evynfong : )

not yet satisfied with the shading but hell I'm getting there

>>3646048
Looking good anon! Love those. I feel the vertebrae lack some ridges or spacing? Hmm, it's probably the ridges, pick related.

>>3646048
This makes me want to bust out charcoal again.

Rough character concept. I'm working on a re-imagining of Alice in Wonderland, so this is an attempt at a redesign of Alice. I strayed way too far from the original here, so i'll be pulling it back towards a more pink-bow-in-hair-and-girly-dress aesthetic in future concepts. I still want to maintain a more rugged rock-chick vibe though, so that'll be challenge. Advice would be appreciated!

Worth noting that it's supposed to be pretty far away from the original, but recognizable here and there.

>>3646089

Sorry, I couldn't reply earlier. I live in a country where 4chan is blocked except for in a few cafes and if I use VPNs 4chan itself doesn't seem to let me post.

I get my references mainly from following photographers and models directly on instagram. rara_pinkman was the source of that one in particular (unfortunately his account seems to be gone) though the model (syul___) has it on her page too. bin.cloud is another good one for girl references. Here's the ref by the way.

Study anatomy and form

Was the first post in this thread, ended up finishing the piece, though I kind of want to add a proper background, but I also don't want to wash out the entire picture with too much detail. Should I bother? Maybe just do an out of focus almost 'blurry' background with very light line work?

>>3646272
Study anatomy and form

>>3646272

>>3646301
study some paintings. ur clearly using more energy on random jacket patterns than her face.

>>3646287
Hah, It used to be alot more subtle, more like a small graphitti tag, is it really that gawdy?

>>3646286
Oh, care to point out where the anatomy is wrong in this picture? I'm genuinely curious.

>>3646306
>>3646304
>>3646301
>>3646300
was it intentional to make their facial features look drawn on with sharpie? its pretty ominous dude. I like it

i made a comic

Just finished this painting yesterday. I’m a beginner only been drawing and painting for 9 months now.

>>3646378
There’s a thread for beginners where you will probably get better feedback and guidance.

>>3645078
I'd smooth out some of the planes on the left side of her face with a softer brush. as well as add like 30 percent more rendering to the eyes and face area. right now the whole painting has the same level of detail across it, so adding extra detail in one area should draw focus to the eyes. right now my eyes are drawn the the left hand since it has such bright values. Also try to stylize the hair a bit more. Break it up into locks of hair of different values.

>>3646188
this is some advanced level tumblr nose

>>3646188
Saw this guy one Night on Bald Mountain

And now onto the painting. I really don't paint enough so we'll see if I can get the rust off enough to actually complete this.

This is the last piece I was working with. Any thoughts?

>>3646369
I dont understand what is happening, but I like it.

Top down art is fun stuff

>>3646917
I went to art school with a girl who looked exactly identical. Makes me kinda wonder.

>>3646921
Forget it, anon. It's Art school.

Where do I go from here?

>>3646917
clean, but that nose is biggg goyim

Ok so
Last night I started sketching this Marisa for an Art Nouveau poster (Homework)
It's my first time in years working with lineart again and I was pretty happy with the "result" (I say result, even tho It's not finished).
Started thinking that looks beautiful and showed up to my gf who didn't said anything about it. I got really insecure and felt like those first years of painting where you think your art looks awesome until you left it alone for some weeks, come back and notice it was crap all along. Am I doing that again? Is it crap and I'm not noticing?

>>3647139
her left foot is fucked bruh

>>3647139
>Where do I go from here?
to /beg/
>>3646918
that's isometric not top down lmao brainlet

>>3646921
I went to a country with 1.3 billion people who looked like her too. really makes you chink.

Looks interesting. I get an Alice in Wonderland caterpillar vibe from it.
>>3647380
Looks fine to me, but she might not had been interested in it. It happens anon.

>>3647610>>3647619
Love those, specially the last one. Did you got dancing classes to sketch people or are from the top of your head?

I guess I'll leave this here that I tried my hand at today in case someone wants to comment about it. It probably belongs more inside of /ALT/. I don't like much how the top ones turned out, I like more the bottom ones.

>>3647610
great gestures and lines
>>3647687
i like your style and how you exaggerate faces

this is my first time coloring digitally. how did i do?

Hi gf :x

>>3643427
Wish people would post their finished WIPs especially when we give them some advice here. Looking for that makoto and mega man from a while back

Is this working?

did another self portrait

hey guys, ive been going a bit more simplistic and impressionistic with my work recently. does this make you feel like its a desolate and smoggy world? i wanted it to be the feeling of horrible wage slave shit.

>>3648123
not trying to discourage you or anything but in all seriousness this looks like a heavily filtered picture of someone’s nutsack.

>>3647608
I like it!

Second time painting with acrylic, from imagination.

Went a lot better than I though it would.

Any tips?

Don’t listen to >>3648580

Keep posting, looks promising. My critique would be that the colors are muddy at times (because too many are mixed together) and in some places it is not well defined because of this and overall structural issues (such as the ear and some parts of the left side of the face) What kind of surface did you paint on?

>tfw I literally only work on this piece on the weekends
No hurry.

I need some fresh eyes here. Left or right? I really can't decide.
Also, I really want to go for a traditional painting look, but I feel like I might be missing something in order to hit that sweet spot. Any tips? maybe there's something I can do with the colors?

>>3644542
I like it. Are you going for a Ramon Nuñez vibe? if so, you're on the right path (minus the crazy dynamic gestures but that wouldn't fit that pic anyways)

I looked at your insta and I'm not good enough to be your friend, in time I'll be there anon..

Is this the appropriate thread for webcomic pages?
I think /alt/ might be appropriate as well, but I don't want to post it in two threads.

Anyway, this page had IRL issues, plaguing it. I'm going to post the previous page, in another post, and ask for feedback regarding that one, if that would be acceptable.

>>3648873
Actually, I've found a more appropriate thread to post it.
In response to >>3634932
Regardless, I said I'd post the previous page, so I will.

Things I've been addressing since this page:
>the flatness of the perspective
>any "jank" in anatomical structure, beyond what the art style permits
>the imbalanced linework, leading to messier compositions and distinguishing "grounds" (foreground, etc)

Any critique is welcome. As is any resources you'd recommend I take a look at.

>>3647687
>>3647380
There, any critiques before I go on?

I'm a complete noob, drew this tonight in my notebook when studying. I was looking at a reference image on my laptop. How terrible am I? What should I do if I want to start improving?

if you can look pass what the pic is (inb4 mods)
But instead the style I did it in..
I was going for A old 1800's gothic lolita vib
I'm A degrenerate I give 0 fuck andno I wont have A sit over therer.

>>3649087
Invest in a sketchbook and not lined paper, 200% will get u flamed on here lowkey

Also some nice pens and a pencil that you like, personally I love Microns and I use either woodless or mechanical pencils.

Most people are probably just gonna be like "U SUX GG RETARD"

As someone thats trying to get better at drawing in general I can throw you some tips! The lines are wonky, the eyes are pretty uneven, you did good job at his Sage Mode expression though, the hardass face. The light pen shading looks decent enough, you got potential in this style!

As for tips like, get a sketchbook, I use a Strathmore 9x12, get some nice pencils / pens, invest more time into developing your own style.
Literally just fucking draw, you wont improve at all if you don't draw.

Also heres this really shitty example of some shit I drew a while back.

>>3649113
Thanks anon

>>3645472
Heya, could I ask what program you use to build models in?

>>3648763
Even if things are in shadows, they are not void of details. You should try define those muscles a little bit in abdominal Also try rimlight

drew while poop

current wip

got a bit experimental with tayasui sketches

wanted to experiment with a different style and words too

>>3648743
I painted on paper.

Had kinda trouble with the muddyness, tried only using mid yellow, mid red, ultramarine blue and dark umber.

also it changed colors a bit, is that normal?

>>3649370
perspective seems off

>>3649346
Got it, thanks. I'm a bit afraid of rimlight, I feel like it'll take away from the traditional look and make it a bit more digital.Plus I've abused of it so much in my other pieces that I feel like it's a meme, a shortcut for making something look pretty. Are there any rules for making objectively good rimlight?

>>3648763>>3649475
I disagree a bit with >>3649346 in the sense that yeah, there's still details in the shadows but I feel you are going for chiaroscuro techniques so, you just don't want to work the shadows that much and only maybe those that are near the focal point i.e. since it's a portrait, maybe the ones from the hair or as you already did the side of the face in shadow, being subtle. The abdominals not sure they would bring much to the piece, you can see the character is buff enough from the silhouette.
If anything I disagree with the cape shape you are going for. It kind of pulls away from the image, trying to hide it or bring it in and out of shadow to keep the focus in the face might be smarter.
Pretty cool painting anyways.

>>3649493
Hey thanks for the tips, man. I forgot that's what it was called, but chiarosuro is definitely what I'm going for. The cape is something I'm struggling with and constantly changing now, I'm not sure what shape would best benefit the composition. This is the last thing I tried, but note that the lighting on the lower part of the cape (in front of the foreqrm) probably doesn't make sense with the rest. Maybe I should erase that?

>>3649537
Hmm, well making elements to aid in composition is very subjective, and it's also a subject I've barely touched but the sense I from yours is pic related. I also tried to change the cape but I don't have a good idea either on how to make it work. I just kind of tried to follow your main triangular shape or assist to point towards it. If you want it to show up below, it would do it very faintly or with value decay, as you say having it so bright doesn't makes much sense. I painted it with my mouse so sorry if the shapes are boring lol.

>>3646089
Sick

drew my friend

finally put some finishing touches on this to post

>>3649717
You should update the selection screen if possible. The Defense Heroes category is no longer a thing.

>>3649731
Ah yeah, it was painted as a gift and she didn't mention it so I just left it as it was. I just grabbed a random video to screencap so I didn't realize there were multiple versions of the select screen. oops..

Oh, got it. It's a pretty recent change anyways, but there's also a couple new heroes so there's that too.
The pic is looking great btw, really excellent work.

>>3649767
yea I showed it to some OW-playing friends to ask specifically about this sort of thing but no one told me!! haha

i'll go find the new screen to put on it, thanks for the compliments anon : )

>>3649575
Your crit made me realize some stuff and inspired me to experiment with some bigger changes. I wonder if this is going on a better direction or if I pushed the wrong buttons. The cape can be such a strong, useful compositional tool and it's frustrating when I don't know what to do with it, same with the background.

my sealant fucked the page up when I rubbed it out. it tore the paper

>>3649977

I just started to paint digitally on phosothop and it feels all so clumsy.
My intuos came a month ago with what someone here called 'grandma's software' (corel painter), but, at least I felt 'comfortable' with it and could draw some fun stuff. Yes, it felt 'lacking', but it felt a lot more 'dynamic' than what I'm doing with photoshop. Photoshop just feels so stiff...
Any tips on how to feel comfortable with it? Which brushes should I use?

In process

STILL A WIP

>>3649981
Corel is great imo, who told you that? for PS, just stick to a basic hard round brush for a while and maybe play with its opacity or flow. Even better: find a square brush to download and try it, it might feel comfier than the round brush.

Also, try to make a finished piece, the challenges along the way will help you familiarize with the software and make you more comfortable with it. Hopefully. Worked for me.

>>3649999
Some grumpy anon about two days ago told me it was a meme software. Guess I should have taken that with grain of salt.
All right, I'll follow your advice. I actually never tried simple brushes and started with custom ones. Thank you.

>>3650064
There's a ton wrong with this one, man. The angle of the photo is almost a profile shot, but yours is 3/4, with some almost being front facing.
The angle of the bend of the torso is also radically off. The difference between yours and the original is almost like comparing a flat line to a right angle.

>>3650080
Could you redline it please?

my wrist hurts

Fucking nice. Links?

Feels stiff. Can't bring myself to finish anything lately. Cant get past this phase.

Find the shadows and separate the values next. Then you’ll be in a place where you can actually ink. You’ve got a good foundation to work from for the most part.

>ygmi
wew... seriously amazing, you are the same anon from the previous violin thingy?

Could someone help me in correctly placing the railing and the railing bars for the stairs in this image? I managed to do 2 of the bars but i don't even know if they're correct or how exactly it should work for the rest of them. Not asking someone to do them for me, just some guidance if possible, thank you

>>3650212
Thank you, that's encouraging. I really appreciate the advice.

heres a dumb thing i drew at 2am

>>3650238
I believe in you anon

>>3650219
the perspective is so distorted in this image your railing will be curved. Idk if you are going for that distorted perspective, but if you are, then just freehand it from here, you have enough to go off of and it's already not in 'perspective'

>>3650193
its good but the composition is top heavy and the way the background is done looks flat, obviously still a good painting though

Still wip, but pretty happy with how the pose turned out

>>3643600
Is that Kate Micucci?

>>3650463
nope just a random drawing

>>3650269
yes, it's odd because i free handed it, added the grid afterwards and its mostly in line, its supposed to be in fish eye perspective with vps on all sides, i asked for help because its honestly the first time i try it, thank you

>>3650453
I actually hate the pose. The stabbing is done with only his arm, there's no twisting or body weight put into it. The chest is facing us and his right arm cuts across his chest in a thrusting motion. Try it out for yourself and feel how off it is

>>3647619
Can you draw her sitting on my face please?

>>3650637 >>3650453
Not OP but I thought of it as more of a defensive stab, kinda like when in movies something lunges at a character and gets impaled. But your comment makes sense for someone doing the action.

>>3650669
wew

>>3650193
>>3648792
Bruh why y’all gotta do me like that lmao

>>3650146
Mirin your workflow. How’s Dragon Prince season 2, comin?

I'm proud of the outfit and colors, but I feel like I messed up the entire lower half and proportion of the head.

>>3650790 I was part of the design and bg painting team which finishes first so we've been done season 2 for months now. We're working on something else.

>>3650916
Nice Im enjoying season 1 so far.

>>3650637
>>3650675
Op here, yeah its supposed to be defensive, like the snake was being manhandled, and tries to strike but ends up striking right into a sword. I get what first reply means tho, I reckon I should flesh out the snakes movement to make it read clearly

>>3650453
Your arm anatomy is pretty off for both sides

anything stand out or not make sense here? like the pose or perspective?

Jon Hamm

There was very blue daylight when I took photo and had to mess with curves and color balance.. Lost some detail and subtlety, but it's done with blue ballpoint pen

What do you think? Wanted to see my improvement, but gave a away my original picture which is why I had to paint on top a shitty low res cellphone picture

>>3651505
Here's the old one from 2 or 3 years ago. Kind of unfair to compare since it's traditional but yeah..

>>3651508
>>3651505
for three years there has not been too much improvement. There is obviously some improvement, but not that much. You are still lacking some structural skills and achieving likeness.

Check out some Steve Huston head drawing lectures, one is free at youtube.

Also, your digital painting has only soft edges, there is nothing crisp in there. Try to find some balance between soft and hard edges.

>>3650813 Hmm doesn't look too bad to me, since you are stylizing I feel, I'm not sure how you would like the face to be, but does seem to have personality. Usually short people have shorter legs (limbs in general) compared to the torso than tall people (torso tries to stay more or less the same proportion for organs and stuff), but you might just want to just make it look short and keep a natural limb to torso ratio for appeal reasons.
>>3651103 Makes me want to chew gum. Blame the color scheme and line weight.
>>3651129 I need to do a ton of those. They look spot on.
>>3651161>>3651162>>3651164 I always like the watercolor texture and finish you get. I guess with freehand sketching can't do much but perspective is a bit off in some places.
>>3651411 Reads well for being so simple. Going to render it fully?
>>3651460 It does have his likeness but had to think for a while who he was.
>>3651508>>3651505 Better values but still looks like you need better shapes and measurements. I fuck up the same things so much myself it's saddening. I guess time and practice.

So, I'm kind of working on this sketch, but the gesture is a bit off. The area I feel I'm disliking the most is the faraway arm pulling. Can someone redline me or suggest something to fix it. I probably should be looking around for a reference. Also any other comments or suggestions I'll appreciate.

>>3651528
I feel that her pulling arm should rotate more inwards, so we'd see little bit more of the knuckles. If I try to put my arm that way, it feels it has too much external rotation.

just a fun lil thing i did for a friend

didn't use any references so the proportions are wack, but then again its a monster

Thoughts?

value study

how do you guys approach specular highlights? feels like i never get them quite right, even when working from reference.

>>3651526
>>3651528
Ty for your critique! I always struggle with keeping my edges sharp as soon as I jump to color. Black and white works quite well for me, but whenever I paint in color and try to sharpen out my edges, I end up messing it up and lose my structure. Guess I should stick to black and white and color it afterwards?

>>3651604
>>3651588
prime example of retards who think B&W means its gotta be a value study... use your brains for once idiots

>>3651569

Other than the pose being slightly off, did I fuck up any anatomy?

1,5h

>>3651814
Gouache?

>>3651824
sepia, black ink, white tempera

>>3651813
Yes. A lot. You're clearly using predefined symbols, instead of recreating the figure herself. The face looks absolutely nothing like the original, the arms in the original have a very clear spread to them in perspective, making a sort of V to the angle. Yours are parallel.
>anatomy
You don't even know what that word means. "Anatomy" is more than just memorizing all the muscles and bones. It's the composition of the figure itself, and is worthless without any sense of weight, volume, or form.

But I'm honestly expecting you to dismiss what I'm saying completely, given everybody else obsessed with "anatomy" has, when someone talks to them like this.

>>3651508
>>3651430
>>3651411
>>3650086
you guys don't try hard enough, you're lazy.

>>3651837
>tempera
Oh gross

>>3651846
>The face looks absolutely nothing like the original
I did that on purpose because I didn't find the model attractive. I also drew it 3/4 on purpose because I wanted to practice rotating shit.
>the arms in the original have a very clear spread to them in perspective, making a sort of V to the angle. Yours are parallel.
You're right, I need to work on foreshortening and gesture I think.

>>3651846
Also post your work.

>>3651889
>I did that on purpose
Well it looks wrong, and bad. If you're intending to imitate a subject from life, then actually fucking imitate them. Don't just deliberately change something because you don't like how it looks.

>I need to work on foreshortening and gesture I think.
Here's a better exercise. Look at what you're doing, think about what's lacking in it, and try to explain where you need to go from here, WITHOUT using the typical terms. So things like
>Anatomy
>Perspective
>Form
>Gesture
>Foreshortening
Are all words you can't rely on, to explain it.

>>3651901
Thanks, but post your work.

>>3651889
>i made it bad on purpose
If you’re not gonna accept crit why even post

>>3651921
>>i made it bad on purpose
But I didn't say that.

>>3651889
your anatomy is still fucked up.

>>3651947
and even if you didn't like the face, you should probably focus on being able to draw and arm or a leg first.

>>3651918

>>3651954
wat

>>3651889
Concerning the head: when doing observational studies, I would recommend avoiding invention. After all, the foremost goal is to draw what you see.
As for the 3/4's rotation: I would say, unfortunately, you've executed it poorly. In your effort to detail the anatomy, you failed to capture the gesture and establish the form first. For instance, you missed the forest for the trees on the arms; You rotated the hands some to fit the desired 3/4s view, but the negative space between the arms has actually shrunk where it explicitly should have grown.

>>3651954
Lmao your work is bad bro what makes you think you could crit that other anon

>>3649924
another one that turned out way better than the first

>>3652009
fucking fuck, wrong one

>>3652012
Lmao that background dude is she supposed to be falling or jumping and no background is unironically better than slapping some half assed photo manip

>>3652014
honestly i know it looks like shit but i had something in my head i needed to get out
felt better to slap somethin on there and being satisfied until i can get off my ass and do a real background

>>3651164

>>3652029

>>3652017
>had to get it out of my head
Why is it only ngmis that say cringe shit like this?

>>3652082
never said it was done man
i got memory issues and id rather have a shitty background as a reminder rather than forgetting the entire idea

Lmao chew gum? what does mean?

>>3645108
>>3645119
how did you get to this level of good? purely by the sticky or with some additional studies? i love your style, it's literally the style i focused to have one day

>>3645366
don't use linework, guide yourself with the colors not the form (if that study was for color)

>>3652177
Don’t (You) my gf
