/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

this is kind of /beg/ but i won't get proper critique on /beg/. how the hell do i make this figure look less flat?

he's a 10 foot tall warlock and he looks more like a storefront mannequin.

>>4057069
I'm pretty /beg/ tier too, but the first thing I notice is there isn't a lot of contrast and the metallic textures need work. Try finding references for Renaissance Fair armors. Armor also has a tendency to be very reflective. The sword seems to be a major light source but it's not effecting the armor in any way. Think about how bright that is. Also try to look for references on how light passes through objects like grates because that might help with the helmet.

>>4057082
the armor is supposed to be kind of dull. ill look into that though, thanks!

>>4057064
I am the bandwagon

>>4057093
A quick google search shows that it still has a shine to it; just not as reflective and with more imperfections.

>>4057103

im all lost in the supermarket

>>4057069
inconsistent perspective + values are too crunched together.
work on constructing your forms better, use a grid if you need to

pic related is how yoh handled a similar design.
see how much more he pushed the values?

>>4057120
fuck that song might be the anthem for /ic/

>>4057113
should i start over then? i learned some from painting this but it is really muddy and awkward looking.

would it get acceptable results to just eyeball some gesture, add some form by boxing it, then re-refining it? I'm no good with grids and aligning things with horizon lines, that usually hampers my abilities more than it helps.

>>4057126
ngmi, give up now

>>4057113
is this from yoh's twitter? has anyone compiled all that stuff in a gallery somewhere? browing twitter for art is a fucking pain

>>4057126
take a break for a while. the worst thing to do is try and force a drawing when you're frustrated and overwhelmed. i've wasted way more time than i'd like to admit doing that.
>eyeballing
that's what i do but it's helpful to build your knowledge with a grid and they're also really good for troubleshooting when something just feels wrong. most drawing programs have built- in perspective tools these days.
do you want a redline?

Im not really frustrated, i actually feel quite eager to improve.

how is this?

>>4057192
Can this be the new scifi merc?

dont really like how it turned out and im not sure why.

>>4057246
The horse looks retarded and he looks like an autistic knight distracted by a butterfly in the midst of combat

Finishing touches are done. Now to move on to the next pieces.

>>4057380
generic and unremarkable
>>4057170
you're joking right? it's decent, but really nothing special

>>4057380
I like the style and color. Do you take commissions?

>>4057397

drew this for a stream last night, it's kinda too lewd for my tastes to post on social media I think

>>4057397
Commissions will reopen Monday. Reach out to me at thewhiteboxstudio@protonmail.com if you want to secure a slot early.

First time posting here. Finally got a lil wacom. Basically traced a photo of my pup. Problems?

Can post the source photo if requested but i’d like it to stand on its own

>>4057246
his right elbow is facing the viewer too much, needs to point more toward page’s left

his left shoulder is squeezed in too much, pull it further right and give his torso a better V, stronger shoulders too maybe

the sky is a bit flat; you have it darkening as it recedes but only a little; dial that up for drama. same with the cliffs perhaps. the cliffs are dark and the sky is light, but dark things want to recede backward and light things pull forward. so there’s a depth perception fight happening there; up to you how/if you want to address it

the horse should just be bigger. those lads are massive, especially one that could carry a knight in plate mail. you could give the horse’s face a second pass for a more elegant/strong appearance, it looks kinda clumsy and timid as is; kinda donkey ish. definitely go to reference material for that.

>>4057480
Sent an e-mail, hit me back.

>>4057064
Not done with the hands yet. Don’t know if I’d rather finish this version

>>4057541
or this one

>>4057541
I like the first version more, though they could both work. However, I think the bangs should be cleaned up a little if you go with the second one. Right now it doesn't appear as if the hair is flowing correctly from her scalp.

>>4057543
>>4057541
wtf man rezise your fucking image please, also i prefer the without bangs

India ink painting i'm working on. What ya think?

>>4057658
I feel that the hair could've used some more work, but the face is bretty gud, I like how you rendered the skin.

>>4057661
Thanks man, yea the bottom of the hair is cut off also cause my scanner is smaller than the painting. What would you suggest for the hair? sorry for fucked rotation idk why its sideways

>>4057541
>>4057543
Heavy right hand bias my dude. Flip image or something to try and fix this.

>>4057495
reworked it a bit, i think it looks better but there is still something wrong with it.. maybe ill come back to it again in a day or two

>>4057947
right elbow is better but all of my other comments still stand. Horse needs to be YUGE, that knight weighs at least 275 lbs with all that shit on. Also adjust the bottom edge of the right forearm cuff so the curvature matches the elbow direction

>>4057481
made some snout adjustments

>>4057404
>>4057480
Lmao what a cheap fucking attempt at advertising. Why are you doing this here of all places? Go somewhere with less artists.

what book for drawing figure in perspective? what book for drawing figure in perspective? what book for drawing figure in perspective?

>>4058050
Cutie pie. Congrats on your first wacom! Tracing is good for learning, anon, but know that it is nearly always apparent that you traced. Trace the pupper a few times, paying attention to shapes, then try freehand drawing him while looking at the picture. This is a great way to learn. Good luck!

>>4058083
don't patronize him
>>4058050
>>4057481
>>>/beg/

>>4057676
I flipped the image and see that it needs to be adjusted as the shape is way off. Thanks. But what do you mean by right hand bias? Google isnt helping much.

Man. Everyone is a cunt today.

Here's a small drawing I'm making, just finished the lines
Something funny is that, i wanted to use a black pencil to give it some dark shades, but I'm out of black pencils, and the store where i usually buy them is closed until 18. So i will have to get creative and use something else.

>>4058688

>>4057069
there's an unspoken, unwritten rule to 4chan that the first post in a thread will dictate the rest of the threads lifespan. the first poster posted complete garbage, and thus every post hence has been garbage. this is why /beg/ exists you stupid ngmi's

I often feel bad because sometimes drawing feels pointless, but I pushed myself to draw anything no matter what and ended up enjoying it (even though I see some flaws...)
Concstructive critique please.

>>4058672
Don't worry anon, they're just autistic crabs with bottled up frustration. They need to release it somewhere eventually, and they chose this thread. Your drawing is cool.

sorry, fucked up last post here it is in small

Bro pyw or stfu. Lmfao

Fuckin around

Messing around with something abstract

I fuck up, and I don't know how to fix the face, I haven't draw in over year. any helpful tips?

Going to let this one sit overnight.

Just starting to get into rendering and I've come to the realisation that putting a huge amount of effort into your linework is more or less a trap because it's not the focal point of the drawing once color comes into play. Why spend hours inking a piece when the only ones who will even see your effort as making a difference are other artists?

>>4058896
Shit drafting can lead to turd polishing

>>4058907
this.
basically everything i paint

>>4058907
I'm referring to clean inked lines, not sketching or construction or anything like that. Unless ones actual lineart counts as a part of draftsmanship. I figured it was just the planning phase of the drawing.
Anyway looking at artists who mainly paint or render (but still bother to have some linework for aesthetic/stylistic purposes), their lines are more of a supplement to everything else. So I suppose I just need to get into the mindset of using lines as a supporting element instead of a sacred thing that needs to be perfect to make a good piece.

>>4057069
The main reason he looks flat is because your total value variation is somewhere in the realm of 20 %. Which is too little. If I set up my tablet tomorrorw I'll do a paintover... right now I'm too effing DRUNK

>>4057069
I don't have much to add onto the other comments but here is a quick paintover to give you some ideas of how you could handle lighting.

The key to making a glow effect work is highly saturated light with a very short falloff. A short falloff means that the glowing sword will not evenly illuminate the whole knight. In the original image the light source feels more like a cloudy day or something. Another issue is that the knight has no shadow, this makes him feel like he's floating on the page instead of existing in space.

How do I draw hair?

Posted this in the last thread but I think the thread was already dying by then. So here it is again.

>>4059062
Holy fucking shit. I love this anon

>>4059063

Thank you very much. I knew digging up my old markers was a good idea.

>>4058109
do they talk about actually drawing humans in perspective

i want humans in perspective

>>4059062
It looks nice. After looking at it for a while, all those wood swirls start to look like dirty whipped cream, though. I think the contours of the wood beams should be more even, with less pronounced wood "creases" and swirls for lasting viewing pleasure.

warmup doodle. faces are hard.

>>4059009
>>4058924
This is very nice and helpful, thank-you!

>>4059371

I'd probably go lighter with the woodgrain texture if I could do it again.

...

some frogs

>>4059058
I'm really liking this. Is it from a reference?

Also blog?

This is the first proper drawing I made using a semi-strong bottom perspective! :0 I'm sure it's riddled with anatomical flaws and perspective errors, but I had fun. I'll learn more with my next one

>>4057064
God the op pic looks ugly as fuck

Haven't drawn these days, trying to get back into it. I've stagnated for years.

Update

>>4059871
pyw

>>4052346
I'm not sure how to make such a big animal fit the perspective without the body distorting loads and going really small, how do i do it lads?

what do anons think of my linework

also, applying to art university in leftwing city, should i include this in portfolio? its some of my best work but don't want to give wrong message in interview

>>4060224
i could photoshop out swastika and hitler's tache

>>4060224
I think it looks great.
I'd maybe add a little line or a funny title to indicate you're mucking around. Or if you're really worried you could leave a post it note on it to clarify I suppose?
The work is really great so I would want to show it.

>>4060224
no dont put a picture of hitler in your art portfolio you fucking retard

>>4060243
>>4060224
"Deutschbags" as a title hehe

>>4060224
If you don’t include it how will they know how much of an edgelord nazi larping faggot you are?

>>4060243
Haha good idea, it does strengthen my work a lot
>>4060251
very nice
>>4060244
but i am lazy fag with not enough work so need all i can get

>>4060263
wowowow calm down little man, i never said i liked hitler

>>4060264
In honesty it will only hurt your chances. They're not gonna accept some far right hitler worshipper in this age of school shooting. You can claim all you want that you're normal, but why take the chance?

>>4060268
Hmm, true. I'm not remotely into the far right or stormfront, but since my portfolio is already filled with marble statue studies and zero Queer Trans Folx Of Colour i don't want them making assumptions.

Shame because this is literally the only piece I have showcasing tight linework and hatching, made it on a whim after watching some WW2 documentary.

Yuro btw, not many school shootings here

>>4060272
putting that in your portfolio will show that you're too much a fucking retard for the uni to even consider taking your tuition

>>4060279
I thought about adding this disclaimer printed alongside it:
>To clarify: I think the Nazis were an evil movement and
this piece does not glorify them,
>This was a commission for an American historical reenactment group’s newsletter ahout the Winter War. I’ve included it with hesitation
as I’m proud of the linework but hope that it will not be interpreted in the wrong way.
And I'm considering removing the swastika and even his moustache.
Irredeemable?

>>4060282
Oops, fucked up greentext
>To clarify: I think the Nazis were an evil movement and this piece does not glorify them,

>>4060282
no dude thats crazy retarded do not put it in.

>>4060287
okay, it's 6am and i've been working on my portfolio all night, I know when to listen to /ic/. I won't include it (maybe a crop of the passenger dude lol)

>>4060287
What do you think of this?

>>4060285
Thats great. Should be just fine with that disclaimer I reckon. But if you feel better cropping it then no one can stop you.
>>4060287
What makes you think it's so bad with a clear disclaimer like that?

>>4059782
wow, that's the first time someone asks me for blog. I don't have one but thanks. It really means a lot.
This is the reference. More or less the same except I changed the gun to a camera.

>hatching
Thank you!

>>4060575
You megachad, this is awesome.
Still gonna get critiqued though
- some hands are dodgy and wonky or palm area out of whack
- thighs are a little unconvincing
- her pose, though supposed to be languid, comes across as a little boring and the perspective on her is unambiguous and /beg/ tier
- shading is a little flat and uninteresting. Maybe try being more painterly, break out a set of gouache and watch a Jeff Watts tutorial to add some interest to the way you render
- watch some tangential lines eg next to her head
- expression and outfit is just a little boring and generic

Don’t get me wrong, I love it and you have so much potential and a great eye. Never give up!!!

>>4060629
Unambitious not unambiguous*

The first time I posted this one anon told me she looked like an alien and I couldn’t understand why. Now I completely understand what he was talking about.
At the moment I can’t find any mistakes, could you help me pointing them out? Thank you.

Getting back into small oil studies would love feedback

>>4060808
far from being a perfect paint over but hopefully it helps you

>>4060507
>I changed the gun to a camera.
So this is why the pose looked awkward.

>>4061143
Oh my god, your paint over is beautiful. I agree with everything you said. Thank you so much.

>>4057064
I've been drawing for sometime now, but I'm beginning to have doubts that I've got any real talent due to autism.

What do you guys think?
Should I keep drawing, or should I quit?

I don't believe it gets any better than this picture for me.

>>4060292
>>4060224
Honestly, do what those game developers/australians do and turn it from Hitler to "Dictator"

>>4061188
And that's speaking in terms of shape and line.
That's pretty much the best I can do.

Any anatomy I learn will be ran through this filter.

>>4057947
ok fuck it, im done with this

>>4061240
Your values aren't well defined.
Try darkening your darks and lightening your lights.

>>4061240
>>4061242
You can try and stick it through the contrast filter, and you'll see that it looks better.

>>4061201
Good job with the clothes, used any reference? If not, nice

>>4061240
not great, not terrible

>>4061334
>>4061240
well, shit.

I finished this painting today

I don't have any questions Just wanted to post anyway
I'm trying to render everything to as photorealistic as I can

>>4061334
how do you even get to that level. seeing this just makes me want to quit goddamnit

>>4061376
Good one anon. Are you working in concept art?

>>4060910
i like the guy on the left, hands and facial features need work tho. would push the values on shadows as well

>>4061432
Do you think he started painting like that? no, he practiced, just as you are doing now, continue

>>4061509
yeah of course, i'm not actually gonna quit.
but i feel like im really inconsistent and even at my best im not close. i should probably just be more specific in my practice. sometimes seeing works like this makes me feel like shit but im not actually gonna quit.

i should clarify that its still a WIP

>>4061607
it's much better, definitely do change the background if you're planning on having it that dark though

i would like to learn how to paint nature

>>4061615
wdym?

I was thinking of adding some broken pillars or bones littering the ground, or perhaps some distant and dim lights in the background

>>4058710
head got too wide that fucked up the angle.
The far foot is to big and wide. But good work.
Keep those studies coming.

>>4061143
what brush did you use on that paint over? miring the texture!!

>>4061600
i know, i dont see how thats relevant

How to make this more appealing? Is the head too tall? Thinking adding something from background coming in front of the head but not sure if it's enough

Progress

>>4059481
Well you don't seem to be having hard time. I really like your tones.

>>4062291
this actually has decent appeal in terms of aesthetics and color, but your lack of fundementals holds it back from being anything worthwhile.

Too many poster are more interested in getting (You)'s. Try to engage more with others instead of posing your work and fucking off.
Give a critique or two, or say what you like about someone's work. More engagement does wonders for threads like these. Not that any of you HAVE to obviously, just something to consider.

>>4061600
no shit it's Ruan's, Sherlock.

>>4062459
I gave critique but my work is usually followed by crabs that I have to separate both in order to minimize the shitpost. Sorry

Drew an acquaintance

>>4062459
With the endless crab posting and the vague critiques, artists rightly fuck off to Discord servers to get critiques. Not only is it much faster to give and recieve crits, but generally more comprehensive and discussion-based.

>>4062645

Every time. I don't even know why the transition from physical to digital makes things look more shit. I think I have a perspective problem that moving around the sketchbook helps mask, which goes away once it's on a monitor.

Oh yeah, fuck it. CC welcome on this. I want to give it to my cousin at some point, but I want to fix it up first. I know the head is too big, for beginners. I've got a nasty case of sameface, but that matters less in a solo picture with nothing for relative comparison.

>>4063429
I know that feel anon, i considered myself intermediate until I started drawing on the tablet, all my mistakes were highlighted in digital. btw I liked the look of your oc, you have potential anon. the only thing that bothers me is the face, has something uncanny, like it doesnt fit with the drawing.

>>4063732
I appreciate the kind words. I've always been bad at faces; I learned from weeb friends before I had any proper instruction. I can do some Loomis exercises, but that means my two extremes of faces are anime spades and faces that are too angular for a 16 year old female character.

A clean up sketch for a cyborg. Left ankle is being pushed to its limit, and it'll prob get fixed later. Any suggestions, anons?

>>4064016
I really like this, absolutely fantastic. My one beef with it is the right robot-hand thing.

It's being viewed slightly from below, and i'm assuming it's supposed to be the same layout as the other one (four evenly spaced fingers/tendrils). So why are they visible behind and above the two front ones? They should be visible below like the other hand.

>>4064016

Holy hell, I'm dumb for missing that error on the right hand. On the ankle edit, it looks much more appropriate, especially with how the patella was placed. Genuinely, grateful your edits, anon!

This is so good, but the quality of their hands don't match the rest of the drawing. Work on your hands.

you draw like shit

>>4065103
I think the major weakness here are the colors. It just makes the piece dull and unattractive. The drawing is alright though. Maybe a bit more anatomy study would help.

>>4064983
His right thigh got a bit thin there. The pose is stiff as well.

>>4065120
You're right, their hands are fucked. It's something I'll work on, thanks anon <3

idk

No refs no lines. Loved making this.

Perspective is fucked though.

I haven't started it recently but I'm trying to improve it now. Can somebody land me some crits?

>>4065129
Yeah I haven’t committed to that yet. Probably going to change most of the legs, I raised the belt it was giving him a long torso,

Poopadidoo. Drew a 1994 Mysterio after seeing the new movie.

Fuckin sick man

>>4065807
try making more confident lines

>>4057541
her head is slightly tilted but her eyes are still straight on

>>4061376
god the subtle details on her face are mesmerising anon
good job

>>4065103
Nice contrast between the light background and the foreground. For more visual interest you could add dappled light in the shadow area.
The acting can be improved. The sandwich isn't being raised to her mouth yet she's opening her mouth for a bite. Usually people open their mouths when the food is closer.
Other than that try doing studies of metal reflections. Metal has a lot of value contrast in it (light lights, dark darks). Keep going!

didnt know u cant spoiler in this board ;_;

>>4066622
Are you asian?

>>4066791
No? Lol.

>All brushes feel wrong for linework
I'm new to digital and using SAI and this install came with no brush presets, what settings regarding sliders should i go for when making my own brush? I have been trying a shotgun approach but nothing seems to feel proper.

Repositioned the face based on some feedback here and elsewhere. Cleaned up some of the upturned arm. The only thing I'm really upset with now about it is the background leg. The perspective isn't right and I haven't been able to get it to fade into the back properly. Redlines welcome.

>>4066622
Oh man. I really like this.

there are a looot of things wrong, can someone please help me i know his hand is fucked

>>4066920
Something about the lips makes them seem like they're protruding as close to the viewer as the tip of the nose.

>>4066121
Nother stream

Sumi-e

>>4064016
Made a new concept on my break. Any thoughts?

>>4067158
This looks fucking cool anon, good job

havn't been inspired much. im kind of losing all interest in art. but i did this a couple weeks ago. idk wht i was going for, it was an entire accident.

>>4066121
>>4066991
your work is really really muddy, try to limit pallete?. I like your compositions.

>>4063611
cool concept. shit brush work tho desu

>>4060224
lol awesome.keep the swastika, ignore butt hurt kikes.

>>4057380
expression is of a constipated person or someone chewing mountains of food. why?

Second in a series of Kamen Rider pixel art I'm doing.

>>4067649
I usually work from neutrals and saturate outwards, but my monitor tablet seems way more bright and vibrant than other screens. In oils I usually use a Zorn palette or a 4 color palette.

>>4057064
current WIP

Still working on this. I'll post this to the next draw thread whenever I do a little bit more.

>>4067975
Ear is too far back

>>4066920
Attempted a paint over. Tried to fix the wandering and hyper detailed far eye that I found unnerving. Added overall more structure, contained the spread of the mouth that adds to the uncanny valley effect. Tried to fix up the ear. I initially got rid of the hand to focus on the face but I figured I'd add it back in and flesh it out some, not majorly. Loose hair shine blocked in to give it more of a natural look. Hopefully this is useful.

something.

>>4067936
good.

>>4067975
the rendering is good. brush work is too consistent though. i personally don't find it appealing when the background or lesser focal points are rendered par to the focal point.it can become distracting.

good night /ic

>>4061188
>>4061188
keep going anon.
If you are frustrated from lack of improvement, focus more on improving, theres an ocean of resources, you can learn things just like everyone else.

>>4067975
you need more practice

4-5 years

Messing about and stuff.

>>4067975
study old master paintings of medieval knights. study the cloth and metal. you seem to have some skill here with rendering. your colors are really flat.

I finally realized whats wrong with your work. It doesn't have anything environmental light or shadow. which is causing the image to look flat and artificial. The sword especially. Study the masters. Do not work from memory you're only embedding your errors. Buy some props. A sword,helmet, etc. You have potential.

>>4068597
No I don't think so. They could get to where they need to be in a year. If they study and focus.

>>4068973
>If they study and focus
Yes, 4-5 years

>>4068969
Thanks for the critique. I'd just like you to elaborate on a couple things, since as long as I understand what it is, I can change it on the fly.

>your colors are really flat
I don't know what that means. Do you mean that the hues don't have enough variation within the form shifts, and that they aren't influenced by the environment enough?

>It doesn't have anything environmental light or shadow
I apologize, I also don't know what you mean by this. But I'm really interested in learning more about whatever it is that you have to teach.

Thank you for your time.

>>4069130
I'm glad you're interested. I'll share this picture to show you what I mean. You're colors are flat becasue there is no constancy. Color constacy refers to our automatic habit of interpreting local colors as stable and unchanging, regardless of the effects of colored illusion, the distraction of cast shadows, and the variations of form modeling.

>>4067975
The character is getting lost in the background because there is not a clear separation of light/dark as you can see in the black and white version. Also the whole image feels muddy because of low contrast between lights/darks. Your colors feel flat because you mostly have a uniform temperature for each color, as well as low contrast and saturation. Generally you want warmer highlights and cooler shadows. Instead of just adjusting brightness when you pick highlight/shadow colors, move the hue and saturation around too.

I can say a lot more about this piece but the main thing I want to impart is the importance of contrast in painting, contrast of soft vs hard edges, light vs dark values, warm vs cool colors, saturate vs desaturate colors, high local contrast vs low local contrast. Higher contrast creates focal points.

check out the psd file, I organized it into layers so you can see the effect of each change I made.

>>4069361
Just saw this after I posted my crit. Most of what I said still applies but it's going in a nice direction and is overall more pleasing/interesting. At this point I think you would benefit most from separating the character from the background by adjusting the values. Also I would dial back the saturation of the yellow/green in some areas, particularly the skin tone.

>>4069391
not op.

>>4069361
this post was my edit.

>>4069345
i also posted this.

>>4069381
this is basically what i was trying to get at.good job.

>>4069397
oh lol

>>4068530
I'm digging the overall feel of this piece. I was thinking a cool change could be adding like a "spotlight" effect on parts of the building

>>4069367
the face felt a little weird to me

>>4063358
This is a BEG thread you asshole don't get butt hurt because your art is shit. NGMI if you can't take level headed critique

>>4060575
You lost some intensity in the face between this and the pencil version.

>>4067936
I really like the design of this piece! Your contrast is pretty low (check your values in black and white) and your highlights are pretty desaturated, both of which lend to a washed out look. You need specular highlights as well, which help make the material read properly. Also water should be a little darker than the surrounding. It would be really cool to see this as part of a scene, like on a wizard's desk or something
