/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

i have no idea what clothes these two should wear...
maybe just a pair of jeans for the zombie guy, but the vampire gal, no idea.

>>4016273
Thank you for using my artwork as the title card ^-^ very warming. ngl I need crits tho.
>>4016417
Nice composition and consistent perspective. Face is a bit overworked.
>>4016393
Work in black and use your nice orange pen for an accent. Girl looks good.

>>4016420
Agree. Make a drawing that is black, white and orange. Use a pen for the lines and then orange for details.

I wanted to draw a kind-of manga inspired composition, I had a lot of fun with this

>>4016444
great work on the hoodie but the face and hair is pretty bad. Try to simplify and don't overpolish

I followed a Dave Greco tutorial on this one. Please critique.

>>4016447
I'll take that into consideration, thank you

>>4016422
>>4016420
will keep that in mind next time. started as a warm up page. I grabbed w/e color and went at it.
here's another sketch from today

>>4016449
Flip horizontally.

>>4014618
Thanks a bunch :D
another one

>>4016417
Not sure if intended, but the lady's head looks a bit too big to me
>>4016444
Neat lines
>>4016485
I love your visual universe. Very inspiring.

Not very proud of pic but it's my first finished piece in like 1,000,000 years so that's something

>>4016539
Pretty comfy pic. Have you considered doing those little webcomics? I mean the ones that have like three or so panels. Your drawings look very well suited for them, like they go well with talking about contemporary stuff.

>>4016539
SHAPE MASTER how are u so good
did you get inspiration from other artists
how did you end up with this style?
marry me

>>4016585
That would be lovely, thank you for the idea!!

>>4016539
comfy mid century stippled style and absolute appeal.
based

>>4016539
gib some insight on your workflow. I have tried to go for this style be4 but failed miserably

>>4016597
I don't think I'm THAT good but here is my influence board. I worship these artists religiously, especially Rune Fisker as of lately. I work in design and commercial illustration so I mainly take inspiration from that area
>>4016604
It's so freaking convoluted I don't know how to explain. I usually start off by doing 5-10 sketches of characters, I pick out some that I like and draw stuff around them. But I could never put out a neat process video, I always add and remove elements back and forth, recolor, start over and over until it looks okay. My current goal is to make this process a little less chaotic because it takes too much time.

Portrait of my gran, I have a decent amount of experience in traditional painting, very new to digital

>>4016635
ty, senpai, those are some really cool artists <3 much love
Also, random question, but have you done shrooms/lsd?

>>4016661
Nope, love is my only drug

>>4016665
u r a goddess

>>4016673
Ahhh I love this!!! You're so good with texture it's insane.

>>4016673
put some atmospheric perspective on the floating castle and soften it's edges. Hard edges stick out and make it look close.
Anyways looks great

>>4016764
Firez your talent is wasted on porn. You could be a very successful mainstream artist drawing concept, characters etc. That is unless you genuinely enjoy drawing lewd things, in which case good for you.

>>4016785
How is he going to be a concept/character artist if all he draws is one face?

Attempting to explore an anime aesthetic for some short animation ideas I've been thinking about for a while. For characters, I want to highlight naturalistic features. Still working out a balance of realism and stylization. It's been a back and forth thing as I'm used to getting carried away with rendering minute detail so it's a challenge exercising more restraint, but I'm really enjoying myself after a long period of not creating anything.

90's era Production IG and Madhouse are some primary inspirations.

>>4016794

Based on joe mad reference, but did construction shapes and measured proportions/angles for pose and tried to do as much from memory with odd look at image for details.

>>4016794
>>4016797
I like these. If you're looking to push more towards anime I'd suggest abstracting out things like the nose bridge, under-eye folds, and lip details. As they are currently they're very nice illustrations but they don't really feel Eastern to me.

>>4016805
Thank you. I agree working on more absrtation is key, It's admitingly challenging readjusting my perception to see more abstraction in reality. Attempting to implement and refine has been enjoyable.

I don't nesciarally want them to look eastern as not imitate those styles directly. It would be too redundant imo, as I'm not eastern lol, know what I mean? Designs practical for animation is the goal. A balance of realism and abstraction; being mindful of naturalistic lighting, weight, and more naturalistic phyical features.

>>4016802
Ink it out, anon! That block in looks pretty good. What are you using to practice form and anatomy?

sup

>>4017232
Reallu nice moody lighting. I love the use of hot pink for the (magma?)

From the other thread

Some edgy power pose.

>>4016449
The reddening of her nose is getting into tmblr nose territory. And she only outlined her upper lip?

Gonna collaborate this with someone using cinema 4d for a 3D retro "MGS" kind of type face somewhere along the sides.

>>4017429
Nice thumbnail, piece lacks variation in edges. Good color choice.
>>4017226
Nice anatomy
>>4017224
Good work on the face but eyes are too saturated.

>>4016529
Faces need some work, esp. Timmy’s. I feel like Vicky’s arm (the one on Timmy’s shoulder) is too high and looks somewhat broken. Also idk if it’s just me but her head seems a tad small. Other than that I love the bit of rendering you did on her chest and the lighting is great. Really nice mood overall. Noice work.

did more to this

Hello all.
How can I add more color to my works without turning them into a mishmash of rainbows and rendering headaches?

>>4017807
Messing around with gradient maps on soft light and different adjustment layers can help you set up a decent base of colors to work with or give you an idea of where you may want to take the colors.

>>4017251
What were your goals for this piece?

>>4017783
You have the mystical ability to make oil painting look like a crayon doodle.

All jabs aside, you should focus on draftsmanship and save some money on paint for a while. Drawing is a critical prerequisite to painting.

>>4016449
I think you should focus on shape design a bit more. I have no idea who Dave Greco is, or what aesthetic you were going for. But if you focus on shape design, and a good underdrawing, you can practically get away with murder.

Not an overpaint so much as a repaint. But here you go. Hope it's helpful in some way.

>>4017429
that you, Trase?

>>4016797
>>4017232
>>4017429

love these

>>4016539
THanks your stuff is great too!

>>4016485
blog?

>>4017890
Id argue I can already draw but it’s beside the point. If I want to make it I need to impress normies like you. It’s not particularly fair that I have to put in so much more effort than everyone else to succeed but whatever.

>>4018267
calling this "done enough"

>>4018267
You sound kind of whiny, anon

>>4018365
If one more fucking person tells me I can’t draw I’m gonna kill myself

>>4018216
resize your shit

>>4018347
I'd argue that even if you can draw, you lack the ability to apply it when you paint.

And just for the small off-chance that you're being sincere: Everyone in this thread, including me has a ton of work left to do to patch up all of our weaknesses. You're no exception. However, I do recognize your work, and you haven't improved in any meaningful way. You're still hanging out in your comfort zone, you're still bad at shape design, your figures are still mushy and lack any kind of bold confidence, and you still think a fancy painting is going to make up for your inexperience in drawing.

If you have to try harder than everyone else to succeed, it's just because you're a little further behind the curve than your ego is willing to accept. Them's the breaks.

>>4017834
Thanks! I'll start messing around with these and see what comes up.
I really appreciate the advice, anon!

>>4018402
You’re delusional, and coping for me being better. You’ve been given the opportunity to converse with me and instead of ask me questions you’re giving me answers. If you treat people better than you as your equals you’ll never make it, just be bitter forever

>>4018381
your painting sucks ass, now kys

>>4018434
I mean, if the outline I traced over your painting doesn't make it abundantly clear that you need to practice much harder, then I don't know what else to tell you.

Thanks for the advice; I'll be sure to remember that only when it's applicable in the future.

>>4018347
Do you exhibit your work? Just curious.

>>4018451
Draw something better than this and I’ll take you seriously

>>4018451
Come on you can do it

>>4018439
Does it make you angry to know that painting I posted is like .01% done? And it’s better than anything you’ve ever done?

>>4018474
Not that anon but I've put together a few sketches of mine just to tell you PLEASE go back to the drawing board. It's good that you draw and paint from reference, at this stage this is the way to go. But in my opinion you would progress faster if you sketched more, instead of spend hours creating paintings that no one likes anyway. I spent a couple of years doing traditional painting in art school too. The course just wouldn't be complete without drawing classes.

>>4018474
>Ooga Booga

>>4018458

Of course not, other than perhaps at his local library that had some spare room, alongside the work of hobbyist elderly ladies that paint flowers and cats, and are actually more appealing than whatever Brian Comforti shits out.

Bri bri you should drop the 'tude if you ever want to go anywhere and like the other anon said, actually learn how to draw

>>4018584
Maximum kek

>>4018619
I don’t need to go anywhere, I’m already here. Cope and LARP harder please

>>4018645
What's so funny?

>>4018661
Bro stop

Thoughts so far? I'm trying to make it look like the part 5 araki style but I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to inking.

>>4018664
Or what?

>>4018696
Nice meme lines fuckboy XD

>>4018696
Lol!?!?

>>4018696
You have the line confidence of an Alzheimer’s patient and the aesthetic sensibilities of a retired daycare teacher

>>4018699
Yours are no better desu

>>4018710
you have the eye of a blindman

>>4018714
Copenhagen harder please

>>4018719
Ok
Look you're not terrible at drawing but you're just not ready for painting, at least not in oil. Try acrilics instead.

>>4018724
Can you explain your reasoning for totally fucking up 45% of that drawing? I’m just curious

>>4018724
I like how this is like completely unconfident and terrible and a bad photocopy with photography effects. Really shows that you don’t know what you’re doing, and especially shines through in your previous drawings you showed me. The amount of not knowing what the fuck you’re doing and just winging it in the most normie way possible is almost admirable. Almost.

>>4018726
I don't remember, it was like 5 years ago and I'm not even primarily a traditional artist. Just own up to your shit >>4018645 and stop painting like this, it looks horrible. I need to go back to drawing so bye.

>>4018732
You can quit any time you want anon!

can you idiots just kiss already

>>4018738
They should take it to the bedroom and stop shitting up the thread

This thread is flooding with crabs.

>>4018182
Got a Twitter? Need to see more

Take this some where else you drama queens.

>>4017966
Website, blog, artstation, etc?

Holy fuck that’s amazing

her legs are coming up too short. right now it looks like she's either lacking hips entirely, or has really short thighs

>>4018827
You are a /beg/.
If you wish to improve, this is my advice.
1.keys to drawing
2.famous artists course part 1 and 2
3.Don't spend more than 20-40 min on anything.

>>4018837
huh i cant really see it ,guess im used to seein short wemon, tenks regardless
>>4018841
lel spotted,thenks ill look into em tomorrow(i dont have that match time to draw)

i usually do tthat but i wanted something finished for once ouo

You are 12yrs old MAX

ouo frennn

>>4018761
I'd give you my Artstation, but I have a stalker and I'm not posting to it anymore.

Sorry guy.

This thread just made me realize why i stopped coming here.
Thank you, I might have actually wasted more of my time here.

>>4018883
Another crab bites the dust

>>4018890

is that my fault ;-; ouo

>>4018882
I am sorry to hear to that. Best of luck then.

I think this is the only full body piece that I did traditionally, I’m not happy with the composition now though because I did this a while ago

>>4018994
You shouldn't be happy with Alice's face either.

>>4019047
Yeh the face isn’t that appealing, I’ll redraw this one day

cute or cringe?
pls (you) me

>>4019073
... actually pretty cute

>>4017885
Dunno. Paint an armored dude on a dark bg

>>4019073
How about make some more and make everybody happy :^)

>>4019100
Okay, well you did that.

So what exactly do you want critiqued? Is there a narrative? Shapes? Edges? Lighting? Comp?

Anything about it that didn't turn out the way you envisioned it?

>>4019073
What the fuck is that anatomy

>>4019138
Not the anon that you’re responding to but it looks decent, can you elaborate?

>>4019147
One T. rex arm one giant long muscular arm

>>4018474
The fuck is going on with her legs?

>>4019073
Looks good all you have to do is make her left arm a little shorter,it looks significantly longer than he right

>>4019161
I actually think the long arm is the correct one, that other arm is way too tiny. I’d redline it but I’m at a bar

>>4018719
you are so delusional it hurts. theres a reason youve been on this board all this time, theres a reason you have a page on the wiki.

>>4019169
Maybe. I just know that those arms have a distinct difference.

>>4019177
Brian has a page on the wiki? Oh, hey. I'm on the page too. Whaddaya know.

Is the perspective fucked on this? A redline would be appreciated

>>4019201
Think I figured it out. Crits would still be nice

I'm trying to learn values and shadows, do you know how I can become better? What mistakes am I making? I'd like to know how to make the pants better especially, besides keeping in mind that it's a matte surface
I don't know if it's better to post this here or /alt/ for critiques, I'll post there too for now

>>4018719
Brian stop, you fucking suck harder than he does.

>>4019282
Thanks could you crit me on this?

>>4018932
last time I went to /aco/ draw thread, all I saw was a bunch of request fags trying to get free commissions from hard working artfags

>>4019127
anything you feel is off. Feel free to destroy my feelings I come looking for honesty, friend.
Thanks

>>4019304
No, because you are too retarded to actually improve and just ignore the critique you get, its useless and waste of time trying to help you improve.

Closest thing i have to a blog/twitter

>>4017966
Lol. This is way worse

>>4019248
Wasn't entirely sure what you had in mind for the pants nor what their shape was, your highlights are all over the place. In general, keep it simple and be mindful of the form. Don't go from black to white, reserve those for the most occluded or specular areas. That said im a fucking shit teacher, so the image attached has basically everything you need to know, spend ~5-10hours on a study of that with the intent of understanding why areas are the value they are and where the light is coming from. Also notice the range the values are contained in for the most part.

>>4019304
Besides the obvious fingertips and hand inside the bottle... The main issue you had with creating a fisheye lens was not paying attention to camera placement/direction.

Everything in the foreground is 'camera pointed down and to the right,' but the background camera is pointed straight at the wall over and right of standing guy's shoulder. Because it's just off his shoulder, barkeep should not be able to reach up over his head to reach bottles that we can also see the top of.

If you actually want the camera at near ceiling height, the far wall-to-ceiling edge won't fisheye much, and everything below that will progressively fisheye more. Camera equidistant from floor to ceiling will bend the floor and ceiling lines outward symmetrically.

I'll assume the warping in the bottles is either a mistake or 'stylization,' but if the shelf we're looking down at is parallel to the back wall, it will bend away from the camera at precisely the same center line the back wall does.

Think: a globe. Place a cube between you and the globe. Plaster the back wall of the cube onto the globe such that everything inside splays out.

I'm gonna get shit for even responding, but I figured someone else could use the info too.

>>4019681
>I'm gonna get shit for even responding
It's actually a breath of fresh air to see somebody on here that has a clue, y'know?

Everyone else around here is just egotistical and insecure.

>>4016785
Thanks for the kind words. I don't see my stuff as porn tho :(

You're Firez? I thought you left this hellhole some time ago.

you can do better anon

"finished" up this one i think.

Here's a time-lapse in case anyone cares:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkrgbNigc6E

>>4018584
I hate Brian and he's delusional but dude, your sketches are crude and nothing to write home about. The fact you draw like this after few years of art school makes you even less qualified to give advice

>>4019853
Thanks for the pointers.
How about now?

>>4019508
This^^^
>>4019867
Of course they are, I took like 10 minutes to draw each of them. I'm not primarily a traditional artist and I don't draw realism anymore. I just posted something circa Brian's level so I wouldn't look like I'm some low tier /beg/ crab
>>4019783
Well it's more like erotica, right? Anyway, love your stuff

>>4019905
you gave her the lower body of a mature woman. she's meant to be young and slender. right arm still doesnt look right. i think its too high and thick. i still like it doe

this is just a practice drawing of an oc but it ended up looking like foot fetish art because of the perspective.
not planning to finish it but pointers are welcome!

>>4019681
It’s not a fisheye perspective, it’s a receding curvature, and a very simple one at that. There’s three levels, the bar we are looking down at, the people straight across, and the back wall that we are looking up at. It’s a fine arts perspective, I can’t expect you guys to get it when you work from photos all the time because photos don’t capture the curvature of the earth the same way life drawing does

>>4017966
Thank you. Appreciate the time spent on this just to help me out!

>>4016485
I could use some help for this one.
Ive already cropped it to make Things more clear, but things still seem to small?

i dont know how to paint, or draw

>>4020090
You can't read any levels at first impression because you used the exact same pencil, line thickness and pressure to draw all of them.
>photos don’t capture the curvature of the earth the same way life drawing does
The perspective you're trying to draw clearly reflects the way a fish-eye lense camera works. Unless your setting is based on a planet the size of an office building, you can't see any curvature from the ground level.

>>4016785
ahh, remember the days when /ic/ actually hated firez lmaooo

>>4020155
update

>>4020357
lovely! Do you use photobashing/3D to an extend, or are you painting all those buildings and statues from scratch?

>>4020261
>unless your planet is based on a planet the size of an office building

Hey you’re getting it

>>4020366
Yeah, A lottt. Especially with toon shaders its very quick to get some complex line art. that in combination with a nicely organized kitbash library can save you a lot of time!

>>4019835

I've been drawing for around about 270 days now. I follow mostly Deviantart and Mikeymegamega tutorials when learning and tend to stick to the subject-materia presented there (cute grills). I've just recently started doing actual linework and colors instead of just sketches, so I would really appreciate any tips specifically to that please!

>>4020385
Drew a robot

>>4020438
You must be either very stupid or lazy. And lazy would be the worse case.
I don't think that I'm asking too much if I would expect something better than your pic after 270 days of drawing.

Looking up "face proportions" on google and spending 20 minutes to memorize them would make you improve more in one day than in 270 days.

>>4020357
just checked your newgrounds, really inspiring stuff. im an animator so i suck at bg, but i could learn a lot from these illustrations.

what artists inspire you to do the things you draw today?

>>4020449
HOLY SHIT DUDE, U ARE A LITERAL LEVEL 6
any tips on how to draw like that??

>>4020428
Fuck that show used to creep me out

>>4020401
Thanks a lot, very insightful. This has to be one of the most pleasing to look at and stylisticly fitting/consistent use of 3d ive seen in a while. Do you also build your own assets? And which software do you use?

>>4020401
the absolute state

>>4018719
oh hey Brian still posts to /ic/, nice.
thanks for following me back on twitter btw, I didn't think you'd do that after i wrote all that stuff about you

>>4019649
I really appreciate your help. I'll remember not to use pure black or white. Also never thought to limit myself to a number of predetermined values. I still don't really push my values, even the pic you replied to was tonally adjusted.
Ambient light is still something I can't wrap my head around, I know how it works but it seems like it bounces all around everywhere, even in places where I think the surfaces are close enough to one another to be occluded. I'll keep practicing

>>4020650

Thanks!
I used to make alot of my own assets yeah but unless youre doing product design its not time efficient. i can spend hours fiddling away in 3d. for concepts modifying or kitbashing is the way to go imo.can allways draw over.

I use bender for modelling,daz for character posing. and keyshot for lightning and rendering.

The main thing i like about 3d though is being able to plan out scenes very carefully. I tend to put a lot of shit in there so i try to focus on a strong read. here is the render for >>4016485

>>4016529
I don't really know what you're going for in terms of style but I messed with it a bit for fun

>>4020856
god damnit you people are the worst

>>4020856
what was the point of this?

>>4020090
>that filename

why ask for critique if you sperg out when you get it. you will forever be the worst on this board, brian comforti

>>4020785

>>4020461 here,

So you create models and plug them in to the scene then draw over? Like a blend between 2D and 3D processes. I really like that.

I'm kind of a OCD myself, maybe it will help if I learn 3D programs?

Would you prefer any artists or are you purely inspired by culture and traveling?

Thanks for posting your works, really cool

>>4020774
There's actually nothing wrong with using pure black or pure white.

The important thing is to make sure you don't overuse them. You don't want to have a full stroke of black. Just little specks of pure black, and only in the darkest shadows.

Contrast is determined less by your range and more by the ratio of your three core values.

>>4020873

a render for >>4018182
Yeah go for it! 3d is awesome at making repetitive shapes.

especially with programs like akvis and fotosketcher you can make your renders look like they are painted. Use that as a base then draw/paint ontop of that.

Traveling is good yeah, and some quentin tarantino.

>>4020920
damn thats hot.
you ever tried Z-Brush or are they not applicable (cant export, different file types)?

I heard a lot of hype around my parts but not sure if you can give an input.

Anyway I'm gonna start spending more time on learning 3D. You got me into it, thanks

>>4019835
Idk... I have no one to go for feedback and desu the draw threads were less toxic than the stylization ones

>>4019930
Thanks again buddy

>>4018661
Stop posting your work.

>>4021069
I can give you feedback. I'm approximately at your visible level, and I post here often.

Thoughts?

>>4021112
Feel free to do so. Even in SM if you want

I also gave a lot of feedback here (separately from my image posts due to the crabs) but even so I decided to stop and do my best nonetheless.

>>4021214
SM?

Okay, so like, what're your art goals? Who do you want to paint like? What do you most specifically want to improve on?

I should really make a new Artstation so I can follow you.

my last drawing, i would appreciate any advice and give so

>>4021235
Basically you can contact me on any of my social media..

I honestly don’t care about style, I don’t have a visual influence either, i just try to do the best I can.

ideologically I approach art like Robert Henri describes on The Art Spirit

As goals, I would like to reach my Patreon goal to stop worrying about basic necessities. I would like to improve the most in regards to speed, sometimes drawing and painting feel like a chess game. I have been trying to use things like the engross app and the pommodoro technique to focus more and force myself to make decisions faster.

I think I can manipulate form better ever since I stopped being a wage cuck but I still feel there is way too much to do

>>4021292
Nice, is it a phyrexian?

>>4020856
ouch

I drew muh sister as a gift for her birthday, what can I improve on for next time? I usually draw animus so I purposefully made the eyes large

>>4021468
>what can I improve on for next time?
1. Pose. Sketch people from life more. 2. Color. Do you ever draw with colors, at all? Draw still life focusing on colors, make master studies. 3. Rendering. Improve your drawing first, it will improve your painting too, then improve your rendering technique, block in areas of light and shadow first, pay attention to edges and shapes. Study materials, your eyes look like they're made of stone.

I will never finish this. I just.. hit a wall. don't know how to proceed. Fuck this shit heyy :'(
jus want to draw kot

Can anyone help with this bitch's face? I've been staring at her for hours now and cant figure how to make her look less uncanny. I want her to be unconventionally attractive with a long nose and some masculine features but I'm lost as to how to proceed

Fucking... let me just try this again:

Can anyone help with this bitch's face? I've been staring at her for hours now and cant figure how to make her look less uncanny. I want her to be unconventionally attractive with a long nose and some masculine features but I'm lost as to how to proceed

Composition is good but it looks like the left eye's causing the face to be off.

my 0.5 €

>>4021582
you turned her into a jew

>>4021555
Feeling a bit better about her face. Though she looks so normal now :/

Anyway this has been some good practice

>>4021687
I think she looks gorgeous and sophisticated anon, good job!

>>4021557
Yeah I really hate the fact that I didn’t notice the left eye in the sketch phase, thanks though

>>4021687
Great stuff. Just a few issues I see with the shading and focal length.

Keep in mind the distance between the ear and the corner of the eye. It seems the distortion in the front of the face is similar to a 80mm lens while the right side of the jaw (image left) is more of a 120mm. Then you have the ear which seems to be more of a 40 - 50mm (Wide-Angle). Nothing too serious. Quick fix would be to just make the ear a bit bigger.

Best way to train your eye to see these relations is just grab a camera (phone also works) and find someone who's willing to be your guinea pig.

You can just look at focal length comparison images online too but playing around with it irl somehow wires it into your brain and it's easier to produce from memory afterwards.

In terms of shading you're pretty much spot on aside from the cast shadow on her neck and the way the shadow wraps around her face. Again those aren't very noticeable things.

I really like the hair and the subtle shading on the clothes

Here's a rough overprint of what I mean. It's a bit dirty but you get the overall idea.

the backgrounds really boring but I added meme strokes to it thinking it would liven it up so I can't change it any more for a few hours

>>4021800
not him but doesn't higher mm compress z axis?
nice overpaint btw

>>4021687
not great, not terrible

>>4021800
Dang dude thanks! That looks like a photo, did you just paint over it or did you use some other trickery? Either way I've spent the last hour trying to implement the improvements. I'll post an update later

>>4016449
I don't know why, but this reminds me of Alita battle angel. In a good way. I think it is the shape of the eyes. Could use texture, but I don't know how'd anyone make that happen on a CGI. Even video games have trouble with texture.

>>4021687
Damn you're good at rendering hair.

>>4021811
I'm gonna use this as a concept for a goblin queen in my game. She's a mutated human, she was born with huge arms and hands, 6 fingers on her right hand, and other deformities. She was abandoned by her parents, but some goblins found her and raised her. She's slow and awkward in her movements, her speech is also slow and not very intelligible, but she actually posesses keen intellect, and some magical powers, as well as abnormal physical strength.

>>4021983
Addition: she lives with goblins and has become their queen, but she tries to act like she thinks human nobles act, and collects human things. The goblins brought her this armchair, and she decided that it would be her throne. And those clothes, taken from mine workers, are her royal attire.

>>4021989
Putting that creative writing minor to good use

>>4019304
This would have been funnier if those were bottles of listerine.

>>4021998
Why?

>>4021550
There's a big field of depth feel for this one. I think it's the emphasis on the cats face with all the contrasting black and whites where as the colors melting into each other in the background sort of cause a white space.

>>4017783
If this is a digital painting color me impressed. You managed to add texture. Something you won't find as we move further into the digital age.

Hey guys, pls tell me how to improve gesture

This is the second day of drawing gesture, I did about the same number yesterday, all of these were under 1 minute (anywhere from 30 sec- 50 sec)

The only resource I used for these was Proko's article and Hyper Angle poses for reference.

>>4022052
looks pretty good so far, but you really need to vary your line weight more. Use a larger brush if you have to, the forms need more definition in terms of separating large from small, interior vs exterior etc. All of your lines are very similar and anemic looking

>>4018685
It feels like the hips are a bit out of perspective, I think her navel is giving it away.

Also the girl's pose looks a bit stiff, it could use some more dynamic gesture imo. (If you traced an image directly, this might be the reason as images are very stiff)

You should probably look at one of Araki's drawings and just analyse where and how he hatches.

I also looked it up, he doesn't seem to cross hatch and you do, so you would probably want to change that.

I like the lion thing, but would recommend adjusting the perspective on it's mane as it shouldn't have the same volume on both sides if the head is tilted.

>>4022065
Thank you, I suck at brushes so I'll need to mess around with it in CSP settings for a while

>>4022065
Here, just did some more, these took longer as I had to pause at times and think of the line weight in advance, hopefully something got better.

>>4022318
Oh, and the numbers are in no particular order, I was just hoping someone would post the numbers of the best ones out of the lot...

>>4021687
>>4021800

Here's how it looks now. I don't know what she's doing with her hands...

>>4022561
>I don't know what she's doing with her hands...
Throwing two blue pastel chalks up?

>>4022561
That's amazing anon. Will you still work on her or start anew?

tfw i wont be as good as you cuz i cant paint for the life of me

>>4022561
The weave of the sweater looks to be very loose(because the shoulder). Perhaps it should easily stretch, spanning across between the breasts instead of almost tight to her body form. I would expect the weave itself to get slightly wider where it stretches. Without the weave pattern widening, the garment appears to be cut that shape.

Btw, the sharper the folds in her sleeves, the more starched it looks.

Also I can see the deepest part of the fabric, even while it's turning away from the camera, making the edges flat. You could just show the outermost edge of the surface as it turns away.

Her hand positions look to me like she has fabric draped between her arms, awaiting inspection by a client.

Lookin' real good overall.

>>4022561
It looks very good, I feel like the nose (her right nostril) should be a bit higher than it is currently.

Otherwise it's a great WIP, you will make it unless you already have!

>>4022646
Actually, nvm the nose is perfect

Steampunk robot design!

Very cute, post more.

Really enjoy your colouring and subject matter.

>>4022983
You should just stop painting instead

>>4022983
i like it. not the biggest fan of the colors but i think the shapes are really great.

>>4022997
This was my first attempt at doing steampunk art with any level of machinery, I think my visual library wasn’t strong enough to create a concept both interesting visually and story-wise so I just placed some steampunk themed symbols on the character because that’s all I knew. I’ll try to think more in depth from now on

added titanium white mixed highlights to this. My guess is this painting would sell for about $52,000 if I found the right buyer

>>4022983
wtf are you doing on /ic/? This looks like it should be in a museum. Stop posting your art here, and go make the millions you were meant to make, bro

I'm retarded and can't find a brush like the one used for the cloud textures here anywhere, somebody save me from myself

>>4021069
Is this one of your more recent works or is this some troll

>>4020943
Zbrush is very good for organic stuff, the best really. but kinda hard to use for some hardsurace.

>>4023782
hahahahahaaaaa

>>4023726
Lol dude what the fuck, not even talking about your painting skills, or judging skills, if you think that's how pricing of art works, you're absolutely retarded.

>>4023982
You’re right I should charge more

drew this character for a webcomic i wanna make when i get good at art

>>4022983
I like her face. But I don't like the background.

>>4024093
I don't like way more parts about it, I bumped up against the wall of time I had the model, energy, and how much of the canvas was wet paint super quickly with this one. What I get for doing a painting at 7:30 at night

I only do pencil drawings.
is a digital pencil tool worth buying?
my goal is to draw shipping drawings

>>4024184

>>4024199
I Defend my post as not being a bait.
Maybe im a newbie drawer or maybe im just a kid.

>>4024235
Resize your images, as the OP advises you to
Post in the beginner thread, /beg/, if you want beginner advice - since there's already a thread dedicated to beginners people generally don't bother replying to beginners in this thread.
Global rule #2.
I suggest not going digital as a complete beginner. A stylus on a tablet is harder to control than a pencil on paper, which will make your drawings turn out worse. It'll also hinder progress since you can't focus on stuff beyond drawing a curved line.

>>4023894
It’s me. It is still not done sorry

>>4024361
Nice shadowing. The face is good too, but the breasts looks a little weird and lumpy. The navel is a little high IMO.
I like the golden band on her thigh, it defines her muscles

>>4023894
This is the last thing I finished

>>4024370
Noted. Thanks a lot for the input

>>4018714
no idea who drew this in the end but looks fucking terrible

>>4024361
How do you not see all the anatomical flaws in this? It's unironically like some /beg/'s attempt at a figure from imagination. Do you not flip horizontally? Do you not know how the skeleton works? Show me where you think the iliac crest, femur and bottom of the rib cage belong. These are supposed to exist inside your figure, *anatomically correctly.*
I don't expect you to fall for the "start construction with a skeletor mannequin" meme, but the idea is that you still have an undrawn one in mind man.

>>4024380
You're using the tail to hide that fact that you have no clue how to connect the right thigh to her pelvis - naturally so, since you misplaced the entire leg. Same thing as above. And the left breast, like, involutes upon itself, I don't know how to describe it, it's like you rotated it towards the floor if that makes sense.
Lastly, raise your hand. Do the finger gun gesture. Do it. Look at your index finger and tell me whether your index finger has notches at its creases or just some dark lines without depth. Also, look at where your fingers end when doing the finger gun versus where her fingers end, fucking hell man, you've got a reference right on your hand, how did you miss this. (You don't have notches, so don't emphasize them like her finger is actually three mini sausages stitched together)

Firez you're stressing me the fuck out, it would take so little for you to improve, just literally draw a literal army of skeletons and you'd no longer need to plant wonky tits on guesswork ribcages

>>4024435
Upon deeper analysis of my own finger gun I have come to the conclusion that having the finger ends rest where hers rest wouldn't be particularly uncomfortable, so I'll add this on: In this pose then the fingers don't all line up that nicely at each joint, you'd have to noticeably unalign them. (Meaning the hand is still fucked in a way you should have noticed)

>>4016273

Not trying to be off topic nor derail, but i am looking to commission something for my partner and i thought i would try here first.

Looking for a new take on the Ace of Cups from tarot. Willing to spend 50.00$

If anyone here is interested, anchor a picture of something you have done that shows your art style.

>>4024361
hips look wonky, also head placement is off

>>4024361
this

>>4024483
K I can see the neck is way off, but why do the shoulders go there?

>>4024642
I think anon misunderstood the hair on the right with shoulders.
>>4023894
the left shoulder is way out of attachedment
And why is the arm on the right smaller than the left. It should have more foreshortening since its facing forward
This picture/pose is confusing me. Try to do this in the mirror.

>>4024653
Yea I saw the hair strands, I figured the left wasn't the shoulder line at all from looking at the elbow(Maybe it's going to be part of the cloak or something?). I thought the upper arm disappears behind her breast, like she has tiny tiny shoulderbreadth.

>>4024483
Your shoulder is way off anon

>>4024642
The strands kinda looked like a shoulder mb!

>>4024642
I also think the piece would look better if u flipped the head. might just be personal preference tho.

>>4024674
Not mine, I was just trying to learn. I thought this might've been what caused the neck issue in the first place, when OP flipped the head for composition or something.

>>4024676
ah i c

>>4024361
Amazing to come back after all this time to see you are still making the same basic mistakes

>>4025444

>>4021386
>phyrexian
wow, im very new to the mtg world but that archetype is awesome, lots of inspo, thanks anon

>>4025449
what do you mean? is it good? bad?

Are effeminate boys frowned upon here? Also my bad if the face looks off, I’m still trying to familiarise myself with figures facing the right

>>4026238
I promise I’m not a fujoshi

>>4022561
Still plugging away at this. It's nothing fancy but is fun none the less

>>4026252
Saved, I actually really like this now

Almost done with this, just have to fix the clouds and some minor details here and there, any critique is welcome before I call it on this one

>>4026410
Ohh I love this so much, good job

>>4024435
I was so dazzled by the painting and general aesthetic that it overwrote even the simplest things being out of place. This is some grade A shit to read, makes me feel better about starting out.

The basics fucking matter, this post proves that by a mile.

>>4026440
He is actually got several points wrong. Not all but most

>>4024435
>You're using the tail to hide that fact that you have no clue how to connect the right thigh to her pelvis
Like This is a fair comment but I feel like the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Most people would think this is beautiful and move on and will only even look at it for 30 sec and if they are looking longer then they won't be looking at where the leg joins the pelvis haha.

Even a small thing like this would help.

>>4026460
Actually that is the part anon got wrong. Kind of reminds me to that guy who redlined Firez studies. Human body can do some funny stuff but I guess /ic/ is too full of loomis drones to accept that
