iPad Pro.
Yeah, iPad.
Pro.
Look what it can do.
You can probably tell I have 16 anatomy apps.
Also got perspective zoom on so all my drawing show perspective.
Also into trad, hence the toga.

>>3697597
looks good. there are a few subtleties but all in all i'd say it looks ok.

>>3697600
Thanks man.
Rendering wasn’t too bad but the attempt to alla prima Trompe-l'œil using crossfade was a little glitchy.

Lineart for character design challenge prompt

Beginning of a cast drawing from life.
Already scared.
Already lost.
Hoping this is where I learn.

Drew a turtle

>>3697597
just go pro at this point man

>>3697637
I'd work on your lower back/hips, they seem to be missing. His legs just connect to his stomach

>>3697642
you need to put in a lot more work before you're ready to critique, this looks like the first 30 seconds of construction and I can't help you.
Just don't be afraid to make mistakes.

>>3697695
this is a nice turtle. I'd work on finer detail and backgrounds. This turtle pleases me.
>>3697524
I could really use help with perspective, and making sure my anatomy is up to snuff. Hoping the neck seems right but I've rescribbled it a few times now.

progress so far

i feel like i need help with values and shading.

but how do you think im doing?

do i need to spend more time blending things? i think i do..

i would appreciate if anyone has a good tutorial or video on doing studies like this, anything that could help me really!

Did a quick request for /tg/. I don’t like to spend more than an hour on these so not gonna work on it anymore but I think this took around 2 hours.

>>3697715
>do I need to blend
You don't have all of the values down yet. There's nothing to blend.

>>3697719
damn it i knew i had to spend alot more time with it before posting.. sry

>>3697715
>>3697729
Get rid of the white background and put a midtone there. Get your drawing right, your relationships, alignments and shapes are completely off. And I'd use /beg/ at your level.

Trying to learn how to draw digital and it's tough. Currently learning how to draw from colors instead of lineart then filling it in with colors; I think this is how the pros do it, but I'm not sure.

>>3697764
I think as long as you get good results your method doesn't matter. Looks like you're on the right track, keep improving and work on shading

>>3697772
Thank you. I think my problem is that I've been recreationally doodling on paper for years and transitioning to pixels is frustrating. Something about tablets take away my mojo, and I suspect it's because the work doesn't come out as nice as my paper-drawn images. They come off as... I think "rubbery" is the best way to put it. Less life-like than if I did it on paper.

That and I've been traditionally black and white. Colors are really spooky.

Bumpin this above the /pol/ spam drawthread

>>3697695
GOOD.

>FUCK NAZIS

>>3697698
30 seconds. Lol.
A couple of hours.
If I were afraid of making mistakes I would only draw from photos.

>>3698232
BAZIIIINNNNNGAAAAAAA!

>>3697715
Just to emphasize the last part of what the other guy said, the bigger problem is not your values. Rendering very rarely saves a poor drawing

>>3697524
I know that drawing undertale is the equivalent to breaking a deadly sin/anything that isnt anime, but how does this look? is it obvious theres perspective or does it look flat? Should I add anything?

>>3698269
you should stop rendering this piece of shit.

start over.

focus on what you need to strengthen first. its lacking structure. you need to define the shapes better before you go in and start blotching in lines of color.

make sure your line art is strong and you're are absolutely 100% confident about it before you render.

>>3698269
i will red line it for you.

>>3698272
ok... what do you think looks the worst about it? the thing I can distinctly point a problem out with is the skeletons hand

by defining shapes im wondering if you mean make limbs more noticeable.

>>3698276
thanks

also, this is just a general question. I never do digital art, or "projects" of any sort, but how long would you say is the proper time to spend on a sketch? I spent 15-20 minutes sketching this out and it felt like there was a clock counting me down because I was worried it was taking so long.

>>3697764
What kind of prefessionals are you talking about. Comics and cartoons are almost always draw first and color later.

>>3698283
>>3697764
Probably means tho concept art render farms. My advice to that poster is color is secondary, get gud at shapes and values.

does this look like an improvement?

do you guys think im a bad artist lol

>>3698309
I think you should fix the kids face. Rebecca Sugar’s art isn’t very appealing, look to other inspirations.

Something from my sketchbook. I also do digital art.

>>3698317
I hate steven universe

is it sad that I consider /ic/ the only social media I want to be popular on.

I repainted that still life onto a smaller canvas with thicker paint and a bigger palette

>>3697698
why did u red line a cock? lol

this is the last time im posting this, sorry guys. DOes it look like he just has a giant hand or does it look like its perspective?

>>3698318
start applying for shit RIGHT NOW, i want to see your work everywhere

>>3698349
I was working out the leg that wouldn't be visible in the final piece so that my proportions would be correct

>>3698420
This isn't the porn thread

The first self portrait I do that I actually like... and it's a gender bend. :|

>>3698355
Not sure which one you're asking about but guy on the left looks in perspective. Guy on the right looks giant hand/arm.

>>3697718
nother /tg/ quickie. managed to keep it under an hour but should've flipped image at least once.

I think its done. Its easy to get carried away and fuck shit up.

>>3698522

You look pretty. Pretty ugly.

>>3698522
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH GODDAMMIT IM SO LONELY AND HORNY BE MY GF BE MY GF BE MY GF

I mostly just draw traditionally so I suck at digital painting. Could I get some crits lads?
>>3698321
Nice gesture, reminds me of something out of the force dynamic anatomy books.
>>3698596
I like it, the texture on the coat is especially cool.

>>3698420
Check your values. Everything looks the same and there are no good shadows/lights. Your linework is also really bad because everything is same thickness. Your colours need work also because everything is brown and anatomy is fucked up.

>>3698596
Its bad. Mouth is all wonky and too low on the face, colours are too muddy on face and all the brush strokes are showing.

finally done with this shit.
I put some effort for the composition but I'm not sure it's working. any critique is welcomed.

>>3698770
looks dope

>>3698770
good stuff mate am impress
>>3698615
I think the eyebrow facing us is a bit off other than that I like it. Try to look into hair a bit, I have the same problems

>>3698770

Learning how to digitally paint without outlines, not sure if I'm on the right path or not. My artist friend said the clouds aren't very realistic, I guess I'm going for realistic/semi-realistic. How, and what, do I do from here? Keep refining? Critique welcome.

>>3698804
fuck off back to /beg/

>>3698770
Looks cool as fuck but the composition is kinda bad. There is no clear focal point: if you used the red less it could have made a good focal point, there is same amount of detail in the foreground as there is in the background so the characters in the foreground lose interest, there are a lot of elements that point away from the page (skeletons arm, dudes gun) and I can't tell what's going on from the thumbnail.

Again cool as fuck and normies would eat this shit up but read a book/watch a lecture on composition if good composition was your goal here. Better than 99.9% of /ic/

>>3698806
It's a WIP, you're a crab

>>3697718
>>3698541
holy fuck I never thought about /tg/ for requests. I thought draw threads were doomed to anime/"""cute""" garbage on /a/ and /v/. going there right now.

why was the last thread deleted?

Pew

>>3698923
i like the right more

critique please

>>3698232
Can't help you if you aren't gonna help yourself. Draw more lines.

>>3698703
is it bad?

i can agree with the brush strokes. i'll need to smooth it. thanks anon.

>>3698885
her pussy smells like frog i bet.

>>3698703

cropped the bottom. it was pointless space.

>>3699120
shoulder line doesn't make sense for that camera angle

>>3698856
It’s kind of fun but there are a small few that like to cause drama and bait requesters and artists. Also /ic/ kind of frowns upon providing free art which is why I try not to spend too much time on any request. There’s an info chart for contacts and some of the other artists do get commissions from /tg/.

>>3698929
2spooky4me

>>3697524
sometimes I try to make a manga mix with a bit of realism

>>3699241
good work.

but don't confuse realism with tedious rendering. there is nothing realistic or convincing about this image.

>>3699241
You really need to work on your fundamentals. I suggest you start with proportions and gesture, also try doing photo studies of models under dramatic lighting conditions to get a better sense for light and shadow. Where you are now the rendering is completely flat and your figure has no form.

>>3698597
Most likely why I've disliked all of my previous self-portraits. Stereotypical looking nerd, while this only gets a pass because it's a chick. One thing I feel I have going for me is my hair though, which can translat even better onto a girl.

>>3699301
no you actually look pretty.

>>3698522
you have a pretty well shaped body in my opinion. i would have no problem drawing you as a nude model.

>>3699390
Jesus Christ Brian you are so fucking thirsty it’s more embarrassing than the lonely and horny poster

not brian. its me. anon.

>>3699395
What do I have to do with this

>>3698522
would you be interested?

assuming you're over 18.

>>3698596
You are loosing the structure of the face and the sense of light direction because your values are all over the place with no clearly defined statements. Think about what planes are catching the most light, and which are facing away. Generally it's a good idea to map out your shadow shapes first to get a clearer idea of what's in dark and what is in light.

>>3699301
nerdy is okay for a girl, as long as you know how to keep your hygiene good.

yuh your hair is like a lioness, its going for you i agree.

>>3699026
kek you DUN FUCK'D IT UP.

Everyone just noticed his head is a dick, I was proud of my archer. As for the thin arm, it wasn't supposed to look human but seems like a giga nigga

>>3699434
Man, Ulduar brings me back.

>>3698615
What exactly are you trying to go for in terms of style? If it's semi realism you should push the values more and make the planes of the face clearer (not crazily dramatic since it's a women and usually value shifts are more subtle with women). Also look at painters like Sargent, Zorn, etc work. Look at how they do portraiture to learn color and zone of the face. You've made everything a bit too saturated pink, which could be cool but you need to add variations of color and it doesn't really give that much room to invite more color into it (neutrals allow a lot more color harmony and variation). Very rarely are things all one solid color- usually there are color shifts(again if you are aiming for realism). Like around the ears, cheeks, and sometimes nose the skin gets reddish for white people; and for men around the neck, chin, and basically facial hair areas it's usually a cooled down desaturated color. Also I think you might've taken the whole warm light cool shadow thing a bit too literally, and made the shadow areas this purplish blue. Cool shadow means cool relative to the light side- not always a cold color like purple and blue. I do like the drawing of the face though as a base.

>>3698770
This is sweet.

>>3699301

Id ask u out for coffee and see where it go.

>>3698885
Nicely done, but why?

>>3698522
Man hands. Man arms.

I should have known.

>>3699120
Feason? Is that you?

>>3698791
Yeah I need to work on my hair and I see what you mean about the eyebrow. I’ll be sure to work on that; thanks for the input anon.
>>3699453
You pretty much nailed everything I was attempting to do and where I went wrong. Super helpful crit, thank you for taking the time to help me out based anon.

Roast me

I was taking a dump while doodling the swole dude and suddenly the intense pain made me evolve as an artist and I sketched the above guy in 5 minutes. I will surpass Murata with my shitty zenkai boosts.

>>3698701
tried addressing some of the problems you pointed out such as the palette and lineweight variation. The Anatomy I tweaked but he's supposed to be a dwarf so it's not gonna be anatomically proportional. Any feedback?

>>3698770
What am I suppose to look at? It's too much shit going on. (Looks Cool) But my eyes are all over the place

It's actually one of the easiest to remember if you just consider the connections.
>sterno

for mastoid process of temporal bone.

I'm gonna hopefully use these designs in a comic, something with a simple plot.

>>3700110
I see a whole lot of plot in that image anon

>>3700034

Those designs are fun as fuck.

Watercolor. Based on one of Noah Bradley's Scotland photos.

>>3697524
Part of a daily sketchbook drawing exercise that i'm doing everyday. Kind of fucked up the hair

What should I do for the background?

>>3699396
what r u talking bout?

Value exercise. Might add more "design" elements to it, to make it a little less generic. Was going for very soft lighting.

>>3700294
oh look same face, same lighting same rendering, how do you live with yourself

>>3700295
Can you explain exactly why any of that's a bad thing, though?

>>3700117
Yeah, it'll have some ...adult content

>>3700313
you have no goals

>>3700354
My goals are traditional. I'm trying to learn light and form. This is a practice piece, not a portfolio piece.

Hollo, i come from the ass of /b/ drawthreads. I need your ass-istance in shading, composition, line cleanliness, and over all everything else.

I got lazy from during the coloring stage because i lost hope on these drawings. Don't bother with telling me what i did right but i need to know everything i'm doing wrong (Outside of using paintool.sai and a shitty screenless tablet from almost 13 years ago.)

It also would be nice if you guys could help direct me to good resources that help fix some of the problems? Thank you.

Another example.

>>3700426
>>3700428
It's not the problem of drawing the ideas it's more of finishing the drawings at a respectable quality. I'd really appreciate it if someone would help. Until them i'm going to go fap my sadness away.

>>3698770
maybe find a way to contrast the map with the central figure, it's giving me a headache

other than that it's fuckin rad m8

>>3698885
..blog?

>>3700428
I really like your approach but I think you could benefit from some good references.

>>3700426
Just did a quick paint over, I'm no bob ross though. Get rid of the white around him, it throws everything off a bit, the drawing seems pretty fine apart from the feet.

I feel like I accidentally jebaited a bunch of people with a rule 63 self-portrait.

The man-hands/arms looks kind of accurate. Always want to practice that anatomy even if it doesn't fit. That being said, feel like I put a lot of thought into it. Face is very similar to mine. Body type was meant to be similar to my sister. The hair is pushing it but I genuinely like my hair (kind of pull off the "wake up in morning and hair falls into place in a cute/attractive manner.") And believe I'd take a lot of care with it as a girl.

Though, does anyone else feel they might think too much about a drawing? As it you stagnate and stiffen it because you're too focused on reasonings instead of appealing design? Fucking hate that shit and it happens all the time.

>>3700755
Study?

>>3700771
Getting a compliment on IC is kinda rare these days, thank you!

>>3700799
Yeah, I'm getting used to the Ipad still

Study

is the perspective on this okay?

>>3700854
how about this

Am I better than you? Would I at least be a decent art sparring partner? I once again got heavy art gains and I am erect

Some of them are super wonky but didn't want to censor anything

some of them are a bit wonky

>>3700896
thanks for the crit, did some fiddling with it I think I got the perspective right now. Here's me annoyed blocking traffic

Need some help with this one, struggling a lot with the environment. Is the closest mountain working? Should I just keep refining it? Also how should I approach adding more movement in color and value in the snow on the light side and still keep it looking like snow and in the light?

>>3700996

Really nice work anon. I love your style. I think the shading on the closest mountain is a little bit inconsistent. Get some reference maybe? Those rocks don't really seem to be far away at all so maybe try pushing them more into the distance by putting in some atmospheric depth. The biggest reason why they seem to be close is because those two dudes in the BG don't really seem to get forshortened at all. They're not really all that far away from the rocks if you imagine a perspective grid on the image (maybe you should try using a perspective grid?).

It also kind of bothers me how her hair bun is in that tangent with those two mountains. Either have it break the shape or make the mountains lower or higher.

I don't think you need to refine the snow. Focus on the characters and the storytelling. I'm not completely sure what's supposed to be going on in this image. Is the guy in the foreground her friend or foe?

>>3701015

Sorry, I misspoke. It's not that the dudes don't seem to get foreshortened at all. It's just that the foreshortening is inconsistent if those are supposed to be big mountains...

>>3697524

work in progress

>>3701059
Needs people. Feels empty without them.

>>3700996
Maybe the closest mountain is too detailed. It looks close and small instead of far and big. IDK which one of those it's supposed to be.

I tried

>>3700980
needa finish the car interior but Im doing it all on one layer and im kind of dreading it

>>3701059
The streetlight sharing tangent with building corner

>>3701202
its on the island with the foliage, that devides the road. is it that hard to tell?

>>3701217
Shared tangents are bad design in general

>>3701015
Thanks for the crit dude. Yea, you're right the dudes in the back would be a lot smaller if we are to follow the scale of the mountain, which is probably why the mountain looks close and small as this >>3701073 anon said. And yea I'll probably add a filter layer to desaturate it and push it back. Good catch with the tangent I was a bit to focused I having the mountain tops as leading lines. The guy in the foreground is a foe. He is her bounty, the dudes in the back are his henchmen. As for reference I do have reference. It's supposed to be like Zion canyon, except I thought it'd be cool to top it with snow. I'll play around with it more. Thanks again guys.

>>3701095

>>3701227

fair enough, tbf i was copying a photo.

>>3700996
besides liking this image, and its pretty cool.

i'd say the background is flat, especially the second one, you could match it with the figures its might add some depth and help the atmosphere.

>>3701355
A lot of times artists will alter life to avoid things like this

Would it be a bad idea to cover this drawing in calligraphy? Or some small ink embellishments?

second "final" version of it.

>>3701426
Yea just leave it. Whats wrong with what u have now? Looks good.

>>3701443
Ok, no ink. I did try to fix a couple small values though

>>3701437
Looks fuckin rad Anon. Put some more light on that head so it's easier to see tho

>>3701355
Looks interesting so far. You have some problems with the perspective where the buildings go into the distance, also those plants are too green considering your environment as well as the sky bleeding too much blue into the image. You should also clean up some edges on the main building. Other than that you're on the right track

>>3701662
Thanks anon.

For some reason and im trying to fix it. Stuff looks over saturated on phones. The green and red espectially. Maybe my monitor is fudggy

>>3701845
Yeah it's not the phone, those greens are oversaturated, I think you could keep the saturation similar but make the greens whiter because of da sunlight

>>3698770
it seems you have made it anon. And about the composition I would have to agree it's all over the place; that said it is still amazing work

my current one. what do you think?

>>3702144
i think you have a pretty solid foundation there

I AM THE COSMIC QUEEN

I drew a jazz club

>>3702192
I like it, but I think the surplus of detail on her torso makes the face come off kinda weird. It's as if she's getting full-frontaled by light, but her torso is getting it's shadow from somewhere else. Otherwise it's excellent.
>>3702265
I like it, feels jazzy in general, though I'm kinda miffed at how the rightmost window has that thick line off on the right side. Maybe if it wasn't so prominent it'll be less offending.

>>3702331
I fucked up the bar too, the windows would have to be huge for the bar to be that tiny

Here's a drawing of me getting broken up with

>>3697718
>>3698541

did another painting today for my friend
kept this one really really loose

>>3702356
I think the windows are perfectly fine. Giant windows are okay, but perhaps a functional bar would be bigger?
Anyway, I like the band-shirt guy's expression. It is minimalistic, but it's excellent. I will say that the shirt wrinkles are making the arm look kinda fucky, though. The woman's jawline is also a little small for a mouth that wide open, but it matches your design.
>>3702357

Hory frick that is super.

>>3702457

I'm still quite bad on a tablet, let alone colors. I'm sure your friend really likes this.

>>3702381
nice but I really wanna punch your friend in the face

>>3698309
You’re not bad at all, there’s definite problems with it, especially the face, but there’s good stuff too. The colors are nice and the painting style is cool as well.

I know it's side ways but this art was a joke please share your opioion about it.

>>3702583
its a joke

Far from finished, just want an honest critique.

>>3702628

>>3702630
Lol, but seriously.

>>3702640
I like the comic style, I just think it needs more definition

>>3698797
ha i knew someone will point it out sooner or later. i can't argue with that.

>>3698807
>if you used the red less it could have made a good focal point
totally agree, as my first intention was to draw blood on center only and not else. but i derailed hard.

>same amount of detail in the foreground as there is in the background.
in my defense, i used finer lines on the background to compensate that issue. but i didn't differentiated enough as they all look the same.

>a lot of elements that point away from the page.
funny thing is that i did it intentionally thinking that may attract focal point to the center, considering those lines converge at the center. but i think it may produced exact opposite outcome. never thought about that.

good point anon.

>>3699872
yeah. i seldom draw large piece and I had overwhelmed by so much empty spaces on A2 paper. now i look back and think i should have drawn things bigger, thus fewer.

>>3700442
that's great idea. further contrasting every other elements with gas mask dude might be even better i think.

and thank you other anons for appreciating my works.

she's missing a large chunk of her skull

>>3703292
Jesus Christ study some hands.

>>3703303
Probably, it's very noticable now. Just adjust/redraw it.

>>3703292
Is this what life drawing in a synagogue looks like?

>>3703461
I like it a lot, but the tangent between the dude's upper arm, and the assassin-persons' calf is bothering me, and based on where I can see the knee poking out, the leg doesn't seem to be attached to her hips

>>3703490
Her legs are open like her right one is the highest one and the left is behind the dude thts y i assume u think it looks detatched

I can't figure out what is or isn't working in the original composition so all these repaints feel useless to me. I didn't see the errors others did on my thumbnails, so I'm just floundering around lost and frustrated.

what do you guys think? I'd love any help at this point, I just feel like I'm spinning my wheels because I can't figure out how to fix it without knowing what it was people didn't like in the first version.

This started as a doodle but I just went with it. Don't know if the pose makes sense, but WIP I guess?

update to my drawing earlier

tonight's project

>>3703580
eerie, i like it

>>3702735
saw this on insta earlier, nice values- thumbnail reads very nicely!

>>3701437
really nice rendering of the metal

>>3700822
those value relationships and transitions are real dope my man

>>3700294
really cool, i like it. initially thought the loose rendering was tattoos from the thumbnail though

>>3703538
bottom right is in the right direction, but you need to make the figure like 3 times larger and filling up a much larger space in the foreground. Dude looks 2 feet tall (assuming the characters are similar sizes based on the other 2 comps.)

In process

idk where i was going with this

>>3703778
i'm concerned of how large her hands are. WOW!

i´m working on this project right now

>>3697524
reddit won't crit me. Am I just to highlevelstyle?

>>3703837
I like this but the top part ruins the composition. Would look cooler (imo) if the horn things were going up, forming sort of a halo around his head.

>>3703837
its dope

>>3703837
what is reddit? is it like 4chan?

photo study, got lazy with the details, but I find a certain charm when I just leave it loose.

>>3703339
i like it, but the climbers expression is really hard to tell what hes feeling since its so small. i dont know what you can do about it im just giving my thought

Horse rolling in the sand
Except i'm not sure how to draw sand/mud

It's rare they I ever have the ambition to render something out this much.

be gentile but true with me /ic/. Loveya

From that Loomis book

>>3703968
I actually like it a lot.

I would recommend giving his lower right arm a more limp wrist. hes flexing for no reason.

limp would be creepier

Any advice on how to render white-ish hair better

>>3704276
not like that

>>3704278
don't be an asshole anon

>>3704276
currently your values are very close together. if you're trying to make the hair glow i would keep the values close in the hair and vary the lighting + increase contrast on the planes of the face. otherwise just increase contrast overall. right now it seems you have the right idea on how to show form but it feels like you're too scared of going too dark with the shadows in the hair

>>3703963
Some texture would help the dirt you can flick a brush to get some specks randomly

>>3704276
You could tone down the value of the hair to make it similar to the skin, other than that just treat it like you would render blonde hair.

>>3704276
I had a quick go, hope it helps

>>3703837
Go back.

>>3698541
World's longest sword!

>>3698770
That's very fucking cool and you have max talent.
BUT
like others have said, it's a bit schizophrenic due to a lack of clear focal point and easy readability. If that was the goal, then we'll done, however it's not pleasant to look at, and almost feels... Feverish?

>>3698770
>>3704422
Just figured out a way to kinda fix it.
Perhaps by giving the diamond in the centre a white border it may create a sort of isolated focal area from which your eyes can explore by following one of the many connecting cues.

Again, I wanna stress this.

That is really really really fucking cool though.
Like really cool.
I hope you are very proud of both your work, and yourself.

Also, where can I find more of your stuff?

>>3697524
Please help me improve my shabby cyberslav elf thing.
Please bear in mind though, I'm not trying to be the very best, and I only really draw as an outlet.
Just want some general tips and advice on how to make her more interesting and appealing (whilst still being one of the most generic fantasy creatures out)

>>3703812
What media is that? Straight digital?
If so, the flowers look almost inked. Might be my shitty phone though.
I can't really give any critique, it seems to achieve what it sets out to do.
I like it.

>>3704007
Nah, needs to be pulling a circle.

I can't paint so I stuck with ink, giving my drawings some Photoshop work. Wondering what you think of my latest piece.

painted this

how can I refine this?
I always get to this stage with my paintings unsure of how to refine and add details.
Any tips on how to add details?

>>3704971
rid of those outlines and focus on the details and shadows after in its place

Been only drawing with ink and graphite and i am slowly trying to get used to colours. I am going to work on my shitty habit of line dependence next so tips in that direction are very appreciated. Does the colour scheme work overall? what would you guys improve?

>>3704986
thats amazing dude

>>3704995
Thanks a lot man

>>3704980
is this a step in the right direction.
I am new to digital painting so any tips on features and brushes would be nice.
I also fixed the wonky eye

>>3704986
I love this, the colors work in that it gives a surreal feeling as if this is not our planet, i love how you left the pencil marks all around to give that raw feeling but that just a personal opinion, i also love how much detail you gave to the flowers. Do you have a blog or something? also are you aware of artist ARX LEE ? the surreal setting and chunky forms in detailed colorful landscape reminds me of him

>>3704986

I really like your style bro. Must have been a painstaking amount of work! How big are you working?

I think your perspective could use some work but Maybe that's just your stylistic choice? Normally I'd think this was a really weird color scheme but since I've seen the movie it makes a whole lot of sense.

Would love to see more of your work!

>>3705019

Never heard of this artist before! Thanks for the recommendation!

>>3704986
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH GODDAMMIT I AM SO LONELY AND HORNY

>>3705019
Thank you a lot, no i was not aware of Arx Lee but from what i see, he is really up my alley in terms of aesthetic i like, kind of similar to simon stalenhag, wich is one of my biggest imspiration and motivation in terms of where i want to be skill-wise.
I have an artstation but i have not uploaded since forever https://www.artstation.com/lukasre

Any advice on how to improve the anatomy of the legs?
They look weird...
Or advices in general, i need tons.

>>3705041
You are completely right about the perspectivebeing kinda fucked. I realized too late how the backpack is positioned wrong, I sometimes stick too closely to the reference and forget to keep the bigger picture in mind, but i am working on improvising more.

I usually work on A3 for complete characters like that.

I simplified the backgrounds on these two

>>3705194

I haven't drawn anything for about a year, felt motivated the other day, so this is my first painting I've done in quite a while, haven't regressed too much I suppose.

>>3703909
do you have an insta?

not that guy but i could tell he was a dwarf, this looks cool and that guy sounded like a /beg/ who didn't know what he was talking about. nice modern take on a fantasy classic

insta @buddykaroon
just made the blog minutes ago since I dont wanna reply to these msgs with "no blog soz". It's a bit barren now, but more to come, promise.

want to make an underground fist fighting comic, r8 my anatomy plz

>>3705644
like a weak 3/8 at the moment i'd say

>>3703968
Did a really quick op to to go along with the notes, some of it comes down to taste but things like inventing muscles that dont exist or giving the guy what i presume to be 4 rib cages doesnt fly in my book.
One major flaw in most of your work is that it all looks very flat, and not in terms of painting or rendering but how you draw things. Study some perspective, break down your uggos into basic shapes and make sure they enforce a sense of volume in everything you draw or paint. Most of your things feel really flat and 2D.
And greatest advice if you want to draw weird lookin creatures and stuff, study anatomy, im quite bad at it myself but it helps a ton to know some I've noticed.
GL boy

Hit me.

Hit me.

>>3706109
Overall the colors look rather muddy and it could use some better atmospheric perspective. Also the sky looks a bit too dark, and the shadow the tank is casting is too dark for how soft the edges of the shadow are. The rendering of and the effects around the tank look decent though.

>>3706375
Y-You too. Thanks, Senpai.

3 hour sketch, embarrassingly long.

Is it bad?

tonight's project

>>3703909
i really like how soft this is, reminds me a little of GTA style art

>>3704724
sick

>>3706760
Not to be a douche but you need more Loomis. Look at the facial features section of Drawing the Head and Hands to learn how to simplify. The eyes aren't bad but could be better, the nostrils need work. and she should either be showing some details in the teeth with the size of her smile or you made the smile too big. It also looks like you spent too much time noodling with the hair. The proportions generally look good though, so nice job there.

I'm sure you also spend a lot of time cleaning up your lines, since they look 'hairy'. Try to make an effort to make more confident, larger lines. I know that takes time but you should definitely make it one of your goals.

>>3706939
>Not to be a douche

Not at all. In fact I didn't expect a critique this constructive. God knows I would probably have started rendering that shit. But oh well, back to Loomis.

Thank you for the crit, anon!
