/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

done in sai1 using a hard brush + blend brush
im still beg but i thought i'd do something different
instead of doodling and procrastinating

*sip*

wip

first actual pencil drawing in a long fuckin time.
not done yet.

>>4321457
nice, reminds me of Brian froud

Requesting someone to draw Corona-Chan! She was last seen wearing a Qipao, holding a Chinese flag, and drinking Corona beer. She is very cute. Anyone who draws her, gets automatic immunization.

She needs a mascot badly.

What it do

>>4322005
stop spamming faggot nobody cares about your retarded weebshit

>>4321219
I haven't painted in so long I feel like I've regressed a lot

>>4322130
Practice more, It'll come back with time.Your values are muddy,bthere isn't much contrast to speak of. Poor brush work, no edge variation. The perspective of the giants arm is off. So lots to work on. I'd focus first on getting your values better and increasing the contrast. Try some black and white studies.

>>4321334
that's fucking great

>>4321334
Gotta save this when it's done.

>>4321334
>the fucking kangaroo
God dammit it gets me every time

I like to draw on my paintings a lot with sharpie, I generally do abstract but I'm challenging myself to draw and paint more realistically(I don't have any I feel confident in showing in that category right now), this is an abstract donut inspired painting that was drawn on with sharpie. I'm new to /ic/ too but yall seem at least somewhat chiller then some of the other boards on this site. I hope when I do start doing more realistic pieces and stuff I'll get effective feedback.

>>4322542

>>4322542
>but yall seem at least somewhat chiller then some of the other boards on this site

LOL is that why you stoner art retards keep coming here? i was wondering. for the record, not being able to draw well is not a style you just make blobs of colored muck because thats all you can do

>>4322542
They’re not chiller. They’re the mean girls. They hate abstract. They hate anything but structured line drawings and Waifus. Leave, find somewhere better. Art lounge on reddit, forums, discord, etc. You’ll only find crabs here, scrambling to pull you into their bucket.

>>4322384
right back atcha dude, blog?

>>4322393
lol save it now, I'm not taking it any further

>>4322529
Wish I could draw from imagination as well as proko

>>4322568
CRAB MEME HAHA A MEEEEM THATS OURMEME WE HAVE A MEEM CRAB CRABBY CRABBING HAHA MEEEEM pyw faggot

>>4322592
>shitposts a post forwarded as an viewpoint on a legitimate problem that /ic/ has with its misplaced elitism and anime bias
>doesnt post work
>says pyw

Im seeing a problem here and it aint them. Also.

Pyw

>>4322618
you expect me to have just posted my work there for no reason? also lmao at your /beg/ shit

>>4322626
>tells people to post work
>never post work
>when confronted, shout /beg/

Yep. Problem identified

Right now I only have this shitty screen because I don't have my computer with me. This is the first time I make something like this tho

>>4322618
Dude downscale your images. 2.44 MB is too much for third worlders like myself

>>4322707
this need some serious edge control, bud

>>4322663
This is legendary!!!!!

finito

Sketched something for today

roughed in a bit

>>4322987
good stuff

>>4322960
more good stuff

>>4322373
even more good stuff.

>>4323245
Super neat anon!

>>4321323
nice!

>>4323245
I like the colors and values. Now you just need to work on cleaning up the edges, and detailing.

>>4322960
no it is not-o
dont be lazy

would appreciate critique on this

shitty oc incoming
looking to improve on 3/4 headshots, ik my shadings shit... also the neck chest area i know what i wanna do but i dont know how to execute it, critique would be greatly appreciated

I needed an easy character to study animation and I think Thotobussy (An octopus that is a typical thot) might be the right one as it's easy to draw and modify.

>>4323649
thats alota limbs to move around, but if your focused on animation i think your on the right track, might wanna thicken out the bases of the tentacles though, looks great though ^_^

Here’s a robotic slash bio mechanical rat, with a glory thing in his mouth holding a giant were charged, any criticism is more than appreciated

>>4323659
Glowy not glory oops

>>4323659
Too dark below, cast more light on the right edges. Bottom teeth look like a different style, give them a patina or better mountings
Good colouring

>>4323658
I'd rather draw a lot of simple things than a few complex ones. But yeah he could have thicc tentacles.

>>4323607
Feels very flat. It doesnt read 5he way I think you want it.

>>4323607
Your perspective isn't working. Note the top of her skirt: it's a straight line when it should be an ellipse. Try drawing ellipses up and down her body at the correct angle.

probably going to scrap this and try again tomorrow

>>4321949
>>4322960
>>4323245
>>4323703
i really like these

>>4323607
your perspective stops working above the thigh and your sleeves are really overdone

>>4323639
pencil + paper + mileage, youll get there.

>>4323659
its really cool but you're losing a lot of detail in the torso thats being washed out, pop that detail back out

Tried to draw some drow
How's my progress, bros?

Daily Sketch

>>4323245
Good lord, das is gud

>>4324107
Nice lines anon

Photo study

>>4321219
holy fuck that bitch has a big forehead

>>4324282
VERY nice

>>4323607
you start losing that perspective feel above the skirt, I think you have really baggy sleeves, that really bulk up the arms... It also feels like the head is a bit to big, specially in that position. Try to use vanishing points...
Really love the rendering, pro-tier for that style, also kudos for attempting that pose!!!

>>4321219
first time digitally painting, i feel like the resolution is too low when i get down to the details though. What resolution works best for a traditional style of painting in sai?

>>4324250
this isnt my area of expertise but holy cow that method looks like a lot of effort. can't you do it in a less strictly sectioned way of working, if you take my meaning?

>>4324107
Looks good to me.
Is there a legitimate reason this sketch isn't worth extra time investment or are you just the eternal sketcher who never takes things very far?
The girl looks pretty cute, I bet she'd like to be colored.

>>4324282
Dope brushwork.
The soft/hard contrast between her jacket and her braids doesn't make sense - lens blur is created when there's a lot of space between two objects, the way you used it makes it look like her braid is hovering 20-30 cm above the jacket instead of resting on it.

>>4324600
3-4k is good enough for the purposes of a study, 6k+ would be recommended for client work.

>>4324282

niceee clean shapes

Need critique for this

>>4324107

Trying to be like Krenz? Nice lines, but you should study more perspective and do anime short gesture studies pausing an action scene or something

>>4322373
Good shit man, you got a blog?

>>4324835
Scale is a bit hard to read, if you excuse the pun

>>4324838
it actually evolved out of a Kyoung Hwan Kim study, but you're right, gesture is something I need to work on heavily (and krenz is definitely a heavy influence)

thanks for the crit!

>>4324835
Don't you have a personality of your own? You're trying to be a blatant ruan jia copycat here and it's kinda sad.

>>4324859
that looks nothing like ruan jia's art you troglodyte

>>4324835
Mike Jordana?

>>4323019

slight update
im tired

>>4324915

thanks everyone. i'm not good at anatomy but i tried to push myself with this one. your critiques are all very helpful.

Done with dis

>>4325350

Beautiful work. Saved into my inspiration folder <3.

I think the protruding nipples kind of cheapen it a bit. She doesn't have a cameltoe either so I think you should lose dem nipples. Definitely just personal reference here and I don't know what your audience likes, so there you go.

Do you have a blog or something?

Nice shapes, i love thr energy in it

>>4325768
Seriously cool, how did you practice These? Any books?

>>4325814
thanks and I draw a lot.. for guestures I do life drawing and I copied every one of grace liu's gesture drawings on instagram and applied her style to gesture photo studies and imagination . I did this for a while and I remember it really improving my gestures

>>4325833
Thanks anon, I hope you Come back and keep posting your art

>>4325768

really love the movement in these

a direct "kinda" figure drawing from the imagination, im trying to break
the bad habit of chicken scratching

>>4325718
dont google that name. its not her. he just wnat you to coom over her fugly juden face

My current work

and a zoom the part i'm on currently.
Do you have tips on how to render trees and grass?

>>4326117
I like it. Though I think the torso looks a bit masculine. Maybe you are going for an androgynous look.

Perhaps slimming the waist will make it look less boxy, and a bit more feminine?

Can I get some feedback. Just pick it apart. Anything obviously wrong with it? Can I do something to improve it.
It's from a reference.
Obviously still a work in progress.

>>4326772
are you using the paint tool?

>>4326772
>that artifacting
If you're too lazy to color inside the lines, try using wand select, growing selection by one pixel, and then filling selection on a background layer. Results aren't guaranteed, but usually better than straight up filling.

>>4326817
Thanks for the tip.

Getting used to Ibis.After I work a few more pieces, I'll redo the flats, then import everything into CSP when my new tower arrives.

>>4326750
Nose looks flat, but I'm not really sure how to fix it.

>>4326823
It needs a cast shadow

>>4326823
You need to study depth planes of the face

Really trying to flesh this out before I continue with the values and adjustments. Feels flat, but I'll make up for that in the next drawing I do; I just want to complete something before the month's over.

>>4326772
Isolate your lines with a mask and clean up those gaps in the color, they're really jarring. Her left arm feels a little off too. Probably just the foreshortening. I love the perspective though, it's making me want to revisit something I tried before. Banging body.

>>4326750
Not sure what you're trying to accomplish here, but I'll chime in. Your values are severely lacking in contrast and looks really dull overall. Instead of using the brush you're using, you should probably focus on a large one with hard edges and worry about texture after the fact. Are you using a reference?

>>4325473
This isn't Instagram, friend. Can't really say anything about your work if there's blur filters layered atop it.

I think I'm competent enough in grayscale, but juggling hue gradation, values, saturation and color temp is too much for me.

This is one of those instances where I have to wonder if there's some simple trick to it, because every twitter coomer and their mother can do it and make it look nice

>>4321219
Having fun

>>4321219

>>4326901
Not really filters, but the camera in action. Of course, you still are correct, as such an artsy photo demands Instagram posting.

Here's today's work without bs

>>4327144
Gorgeous style, gorgeous color work, gmi. That said, your faces truly need more work to make them appealing.

I made some sketches! What do you think?

>>4327144
Your style looks interesting. But you still seem to have good problems with anatomy. have you tried painting digitally before? It's easier and very good for learning and experimenting.

>>4327112
i am fairly confident in my drawing abilities at this point. this is entirely from imagination. and i have ideas about how to do the walls and the floor, but i really don't know anything about rendering. i render like ... honestly if you saw it i think youd think a child under 10 years old did it. i just dont get it. i could do flat color and stay inside the lines i guess. but i just have zero ability to understand value. i dont understand light sources, shadows, contour. it does not compute. how do i stop being retarded?

>>4327252
You don't have to be good at rendering to make good art. There are also many artists who concentrate more on line art. They don't need to render much to make great works.

>>4327227
Middle one is top tier soul.

>>4327227
The fuck. I was drawing next to you in flockmod. Waddup.

>>4327334
Awesome work
great idea for a color study

>>4323575
I like those edges, makes it feel foggy

>>4326381
you are right, i mostly draw males with the box method, thanks for the advice

>>4327130
really nice! pls finish it

>>4324915

you're right. it looks like a ruan jia copycat.

>>4327256
i just dont like accepting that its ok to have a weakness and working around it.i want to be more well rounded.

>>4327402
It's not really a weakness if it fits to your style. Many linearts just don't work well for big rendering. They look better with rather simple/subtle coloring

>>4327252
start practicing anyways if you want to do it

start as easy as possible, 3-5 tones, hard round brush, no blending, and do B+Ws of stuff like Statues or even just Primitives from reference. take it really really slow and try to actively learn how to represent these forms rather than just copying.

when you have some confidence keep working your way up in complexity

>>4324835
was this done in corel painter?

>>4322558
seconded

>>4326952
You posted these already last year. The girl looks still like an alien

practicing skin tones

>>4327647
nice and simple, that movement effect is hard to pull off without looking like shitty drawing

based rare non pepe frog painter

>>4327266

>>4325692
they look fine

Finished this yesterday, crit?

>>4327727
ngmi

So?

>>4325699
>>4326168

Too late.
But who is the girl? Seeing someone I recognize but not remembering from where triggers my autism.

>>4323600
you persuaded me

>>4327680
hentai.co iirc. Only got to see you drawing the fairy kid

>>4327472
you're right. ok thats good advice/ thanks anon. ill do my best

Hi, i'm doin a value-study atm... but something seems off.. can someone tell me how i can turn her feminine just by some little steps and by not painting the face all over again - btw. i dind't wanted it to be 1:1 - don't want to spend too much time on measurement. Thanks!

>>4328161
i guess the most obvious thing is to narrow the jaw. the eyes on yours are too big and the nose seems very narrow and long without a ref idk if that matters. just an observation. in general i think women have smaller foreheads too. i could be wrong about that but it might help. mouth seems a little narrow probably because the eyes are too big.

shoulders and entire torso are way to big for the head too.

>>4328013
its young mary elizabeth winstead with shooped joker face

>>4328237

>>4328229
Thanks bro, the eyes and nose fixed it :)

Studying hands

how accurate is it to say, local colors share the same value when they're lit at the same level, they only differ in hue and saturation

>>4327472
How is this?

>>4328319
Not at all. Try painting the red and white of the Pepsi logo with a shadow halfway

>>4327144
is this markers or watercolor?

>>4328344
i thought i figured out some mad knowledge... i was color picking from a few pieces that i liked and (maybe it was coincidence) but all the colors that were at the same lighting level were also uncannily close in value on the hsv square which is why i asked

i'm never gonna get this shit lol

>>4328352
Watercolors! 0

>>4321219
People told me to try shading the head as a sphere. I think im getting it. This was from imagination. I think im getting it. Thoughts?

recently watched Lovely Conplex, tried to draw the MCs. Sadly didn't have the remaining colored copics to complete their outfits o o f

pointers very much appreciated my guys

>>4328483
Go to beg

>>4328511
oh fudge i thought this was beg. my bad.

>>4328507
Looks very nice. Good job on the clothes folds.
Maybe you should revise the shape of the eyes for your style, I get it's anime but they look too big and tacked on, particularly on the boy. They don't really fit on his head.
One thing I disklike about the piece is that moonspeak, it just looks lazy. Use a ruler or something.
Very cute overall, I like it.

>>4328639
ayy thanks my dude. Yea, I wasn't really trying with the writing, definitely lowers the quality of the work a bit. I'll be sure to think about that next time. And I see what you mean with the eyes, now, too. I think I've gotten lazy with eyes since I used to draw them so often. I'll have to work on that again. Thanks again :^)

>>4327940
fym ngmi? Post a portrait.

Can someone point me in the right direction?
I really want to be able to paint like a lot of those Chinese artists but I can't think of how I can change my work to better reflect that style other than using a different brush. I'll post an example of what I wish to achieve. But like. I don't understand how they do it. Any brush suggestions or other tips would be really appreciated.

>>4329249

>>4324845
Yes :) I post to beholdnika on Instagram and Twitter

>>4324107
trying to find a gesture for the redraw

>>4329572
most of the gesture should come from the spine

>>4329488
Once you get the hang of it.. its fun

Be brutal. Been drawing a month and need to know what I should be focusing on the most right now.

Thanks

back to digital

>>4327727
You can't hide everything under a layer of texture and noise, and no brush is ever going to draw for you. You have to do that part yourself.

I tried my hand at digital coloring on a super-old drawing, so please ignore the terrible line art. How is the coloring?

Help please. I think I botched this one completely.

>>4324606
Well I guess I just don't know other way...

>>4330124

The light on his jacket doesn't look like light. It's the same value as his skin. Make it much brighter overall.

supposed to be an arrogant aristocrat, something doesn't quite feel right though, would greatly appreciate some crits

Critiques, please.

>>4330582
Ffs it's always sideways when I post here

>>4330587

crop the height a little

>>4330711
I really really like this, do you have an instagram?

>>4329969

the original drawing is more interesting than yours. there's some problem with the face and colors but the forms and texture is what's good about it.

the fact that you change the face and talk about

>You can't hide everything under a layer of texture and noise

means you don't know shit yourself

>>4330731
Sure do!

ive just wanted to post this somewhere god damn

Sketches I’m doing for my friends on stream

>>4331242

Got bored of drawing pinups and tried something different. Sketched this out in about 20 minutes. Thoughts?

>>4330469

Also shoulders

>>4329360
my blogs full of shit cus I never finish anything.

It feels good already. What’s it for?
>>4329344
Very interesting. Great work.
>>4331621
Love the right.
>>4331596
Gotta push through. Your stuff looks nice man. Show off!
>>4331208
Here or alt is fine. What were you going for?

Drawing spotted zebra.

>>4331638
Nothing much just working on animals. I’m really liking zebra. This is a foal.

how does it look?

bird

>>4323245
Lovely sense of adventure here, with great values and colors. It only needs some clear, hard edges where appropriate to really come together.

hmm

almost done

I consider it done at this point because I could keep adding stuff or editing details for hours and sometimes you either call it done or re do it, I am pretty much happy with the way it turned out, I only posted it to instagram since I don't have something more professional, any recommendations to start a portfolio?

>>4321219

could i get a crit on this? i'm feeling really stuck on how to improve

>>4331755
just buy a camera

>>4331761
this is cool

>>4331755
This is good, but what exactaly are you even trying to do? This looks like you're just replicating a photo. Why not use that skill to make something on your own?

>>4331752
i like that but i wish it was easier to tell the gloves from the skin color unless ur a girl then i withdraw my compliment

>>4331755
i can at least appreciate the patience it took to make that

>>4331798
>>4331804
Its for a mural

>>4331811
Thanks

>>4322366

>>4328524
dat fucking burn.

>>4324859
Seething with jealousy lmfao

>>4331811
what does that artist being a girl or not make him/her less worthy of a compliment?

>>4331540
Second update.

>>4321219
Work in progress

dunno what this is

>>4331540
>>4332054
Really nice, I like the shading technique

>>4331676
It's fine but don't cut off the legs like that

>>4331774
Okay, so you're rendering this, you've colored it, it's got texture, but you've got bug eyes. The eye socket isn't defined at all. I think that considering the eye socket as much as the eye would enhance the look of this face. I'm not sure how realistic or cartoony you want this, because the facial details are cartoony, but the rendering seems to want to have more realism.

>>4323607

like everyone else said the perspective and foreshortening seems off due to how the body is position. the legs are one way whereas the torso is another way and throws the whole thing off.

>>4332136
Added more elements, is it too busy?

>>4322664
These posters are government agents, sent here to bring the morale down on paint and drawfags.

>>4323607
If you want your figures to appear like we're looking up at them study figures in that persoective. The key to drawing things loke that is to keep parts that are closer to us overlapping the parts further than us. Go to the book thread and look through the pastebin links in every op. There's a link that has a bunch of Jap pixiv tutorials and there are a few good ones on extremely dynamic angles and lenses.

>>4332436
everything is more or less is in the same z space as the character so it looks a bit flat, maybe move one of the planets a lot closer to the camera so that it can be the subordinate shape. Some gold stars are clearly more farther back then others so that is good, but the ribbons aren't consistent with that in terms of size. The ribbons in front of everything should be thicker than the ones that look like they are pulled back.

i can't draw neither shadows and patterns in clothes without getting it too crowded, how do i git gud at it?

>>4331690
Really cool so far.
>>4331755
God damn. Too good.
>>4332608
I like your shading.

>>4332154
Doing good, I would suggest adding more light to the eyes, like their own 3d object

>>4331811
>unless ur a girl then i withdraw my compliment

Um, wat

>>4332548
I think moto moto likes you anon

>>4330970
Hey I really like this girl, the shapes and anatomy and all, you are going to make it, I don't know how you color though, show a finished one

>>4330582
these look fantastic

This stupid late night thing

>>4332870
What brushes do you use to get that chalky like texture on your shadows? I really love the rendering of this piece, very pop art.

>>4332889
I only used the regular hard round brush with some textures. I did it long ago and i forgot where I got it from, but its not much.
I also used the pen tool to get the maximum hard edges.

And thanks for the compliment, but the rendering here is pertty simple, I just try to keep the shapes clean

>>4332870
The harsh lines make his teeth look flat and his left sleeve doesn’t look connected to the shirt.

>>4332436
Her pose looks stiff. Consider rotating the legs counterclockwise if she’s supposed to be floating.

>>4331755
There’s no focal point. The value of the two men in the foreground should be higher than the two on top of the tank. It’s really hard to make out and separate the details because they all kind of blend together.

>>4332912
>>4332054
>>4330970
Inching along with these four pieces. Hoping that I will find a coloring/rendering style that fits with my style/linework.

>>4332849
>>4332155
Thank you.

absolutely no design philosophy applied here i just wanted to have fun

>>4326949
dumbas.., use the grayscale one and multiply color over it, then flatten both the grays and colors layer together. then start coloring over that new base, you can use color curves filter to correct the saturation and light.

>>4331596
Alright, then finish som stuff

>>4332898
It doesnt need a focal point, its just a mural. I appreciate the feedback regardless

>>4333156
yes it does? its messy, and it will look messy on a wall or a computer screen.
what do you even mean by “its a mural”? its clearly a digital painting...

>>4331755
Being in those sucked to ride in as an 11c.

>>4333165

Yep cant wait to dispatch these every week after we convert sometime this year. Goin from inf to Stryker

>>4332922
like the concepts anon, they do look flat though

>>4333177
so you only post your art here for attention. kill yourself, its shit.

>>4333180
Uh oh someone is cranky

>>4333180
Also pyw for shits n gigs

>>4333189
not that guy but you shouldn't be bragging about a 100% referenced picture, it doesn't show your skill level at all.

>>4333206
Quote my post where i bragged

>>4333223
You are trying to act like your artwork is going to be better than the other anon's, that's bragging.

>>4333262
No I'm just calling him out, but thanks for your concern

why doesnt this board have janitors

Little portrait without reference. Trying to achieve more subtlety in my values. Went lazy with the hair but I know I shouldn't, it's something I need to improve

>>4332828
Really like the saturated blue in the shadows. Would have liked to see the same kind of strong shapes that the face has in the hair.

>>4333179
Not sure what style you're going for so my advice is very generalized: you'll have an easier time making portraits by giving yourself a clear light source. Shift your focus away from smaller details -- you should instead be strengthening your larger shapes, like the planes of the face.

>>4333179
Overall it's not bad. I would work on the symmetry of the face. Establish a better light source and it should fix the issue with the washed out values. I like that you're staying monochrome. Keep doing this and you'll learn values faster...try not to use too much color for now. Bumped the overall values a bit too.

>>4332898
>It’s really hard to make out and separate the details because they all kind of blend together.

thats the biggest bunch of bullshit ive read here yet.

GTA vice city style

>>4321219
It looks weird, but I can’t pin point what’s wrong.

>>4333376
everything

>>4333384
I can’t argue with that.

>>4333384
I can’t argue with that

Currently working on this. The space around her is empty, because I've yet to paint her drones.

>>4333449
She doesn’t have a cranium. You’ve created a literal brainlet.

>>4329251
This is really pretty.

>>4333453
fixed, thanks for the pointer.

tried sketching out some figures from imagination

>>4332259

awesome thanks for the feedback, yeah i get what you mean, i've been having lots of trouble finding a good balance of realism and stylised characters, i think you're right about not defining enough of the forms.

>>4332828
i'd love to see this with some stronger areas of detail, looks like a good base for a quality portrait

>>4332259
>>4333716

aight, done another face painting with a bit more defined lighting (also from imagination), would love some feedback

your rendering is fine, your anatomy is terrible

>>4328377
it's tough. I have trouble too. I just think about if a color naturally is darker in value. yellow being one of the lightest and purple being one of the darkest

>>4327727
Eyes highlights look a bit too white

The eyes also look kinda animeish... idk if its just me tho

>>4333888
I like the ambient light you got on her nose. Good start on the forms of the face + shadow shapes. Here is my paintover. I tried to preserve the intent as best I could, but admittedly it's not my strength. Some pointers:
- The harsh, hard edges make it look like a collage of cut-out shapes. Soften up more edges, especially in the hair.
- You're on your way to painting form well, but some areas still show a reliance on lines and "symbol shapes". The eye to our left is particularly a problem in this regard.
- Don't be afraid to expand your value range outside of the eyes and hair. Studying some greyscale portraits will help you achieve this.
- Whack head/neck attachment and remarkably stiff shoulders. Expand your studies beyond the face if you want to draw those areas.
- Get used to painting with a hard round brush. Your reliance on a textured brush is holding you back.

Sketchin

Part of a "4 seasons" thing I'm working on. This would be "summer"

From reference, going for more simplicity with crisp, solid forms. Also trying not to hide weaknesses with ambiguity. Inspired by jidaart on twitter.

>>4334558
Seems aight.

>>4329256
Thanks! Love that pen drawing look.

workin on designing an egirl...

>>4334558
This is great. I always hide my edges with endless amounts of strokes.

>>4329682
reminds me of this

i like sketching and putting in the base colors but i always struggle to do more than some basic shading. when i do that anime render style it just looks off

>>4331628
More. The guys I follow on insta are inspiring me.

Tried to quickly throw down some colour.

>>4334988
i like it

wip

>>4327606
oh shit youre right. i've been so caught up with uni i barely fit in time for sketches

>>4335195
what a downgrade

>>4335130
what gender is it

trying to do something that's not completely stiff and expressionless

can i get some critique, theres something wrong with this painting but im too fucking blind to see it.
thanks

>>4335325
Left eye is too big and comes forward, actually the left part of his face, around the eye, it's too big, so it flattens the image

>little study
>just a sketch
>doodle
>wip
>got bored with this
>inspo
>just for fun
>only spent 10min
>didn't have time to finish

>>4335337
thanks

>>4333449
I think it would look better if her eyes faced the viewer (looking down) instead of gazing the horizon

>>4335341
get some real problems petty loser

>>4327227
>Your style looks interesting. But you still seem to have good problems with anatomy. have you tried painting digitally before? It's easier and very good for learning and experimenting.

Never really practiced digital, I really dont have time nor patience to use a computer, next month i'm going to buy an ipad pro and really grind on those fundies...

>>4331833
>mural
its celarly digital

no /trad/ thread up, so posting here. Some of the colors have been sinking in.

>>4327252
paint from life. Direct observation will help build up a mental vocabulary of how light should be landing on stuff.

>>4327144
this is killer man. I think the faces are fine.

Could I get some crits or opinions on this please?

>>4335720
Astute observation my friend

>>4321219

what you guys think about using lasso/liquify to fix your shit? is it bad habit?

>>4336200
I use it to do a slight rotation or size change. Basically, it's fine for a quick-fixes but don't rely on it too much.

How's the values?

Any critique on the rendering? Anything I'm doing poorly, etc.

>>4337043
Magnifique.
