/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Alright how's this?

>>4352918
Jesus fuck someone on /ic/ drew OP?

I have a long way to go

I drew this under extreme arthritis pain. Look at the shaky line lmao

Worthless thread /ic/ doesn't draw.

the more i pull this away from being a sketch the less i like it

Am I ready to dive in into learning stylization or I need to draw another 200 realistic heads?

Been working in this for a while now, almost done. Just gotta do the carpet

>>4353191

great rendering my guy

>>4352918
I'm trying to FEEL it. Do you FEEL it?

>>4353295
Lookin good. how long have you been working on that and what did you study?

>>4353160
not everything needs to be finished-finished. sometimes an aesthetic or shapes work best when they're unrefined

>>4353295
Wow, it's been a while since you started
I was doubtful at first, but now I see that the compisition is actually good
Nice job man

weird dude

>>4353295
it's really good anon but there's a few anatomy issues with the figure that hold it back.

>>4353352
a few months on and off. usually an hour or two after work every other day. I didn't really study anything in particular.... though I guess some chinese decorative designs and I used some references to help with the figure and such

>>4353428
I know there's a few tweaks I need to make but what do you mean exactly?

>>4352918
Wow thanks anon. Here it is the finished.

Trying to improve my rendering. Watching courses is one thing but making something look good is a bit harder.
I'd appreciate any advice you can give.

something i posted in another thread a week ago

>>4354770
It looks pretty good to me already, what is it specifically you feel you lack? (or artists you admire?)
some of the shadows like the ones on the thigh feel odd in how they wrap around the form
also, what courses are you watching?

>>4353436
not that anon but the back and arm up to the elbow looks oddly flat and square, i dig it though

>>4353000
Love it

First foray into environments is scary... trying to get comfortable with rule of thirds

I recently got my first tablet. Today I did a few studies.

This one: D'Arcy W. Doyle

>>4357866
James Gurney.

Any advice?

>>4357867
I'm not so keen on the edges in the first one, but the colors are pretty good. The james gurney one is comfy

>>4357836
The characters are kind of stiff, and the groud is a perfectly level, both of which doesn't help the focus of the composition imo, unlike the mountains which direct the eye to the focus

To me it looks like my pic is kind of dead as in there's something with my colors or values that makes it boring.
I have a lot of inspirations so I don't really know which artist I was trying to emulate, but here's an artist who's been on my mind for a while
https://files.catbox.moe/3evl2f.png
Here's one I found after I had already finished my pic, and it feels like this is pretty much what I was going for. might be gross to look at if you're not a flaming furfag, but I like the colors a lot
https://files.catbox.moe/iaxuy7.jpg

The courses I've been looking at recently are Painting with Light and Color with Dice Tsutsumi and Robert Kondo (Schoolism)
and
The art of colour and light with Marco Bucci (CGMA)
I'd recommend both of these, though who knows if my reco means anything since I'm still a beginner with this stuff. Both on cgp

>>4358922
>tacobell mural painter telling anyone what they need to work on

Wup wup. Not too happy with some of the hues going on here, but throwing two of the layers to 'glow' blend mode made it pop a lot more.

>>4360625
I would love this if it were way more rendered. I appreciate what you're going for but at least right now the lack of rendering just puts me off as soon as i click on it. Also I think if you added more space around the frame to really show that this is a painting of a painting rather than just a painting, you'd add a bit more visual interest as well.

>>4360254
I didn't trace or heavily reference. I usually paint from imagination then look at similar but not matching references so that I have to use my brain to figure it out rather than just copy.

>>4354770
Your art reminds me of GenesisKeys'.

>>4353160
The colours look really promising you just need to be more confident with your edges. Are you going to make this a painting or put refined lineart on top?

>>4361660

Any advice before I color it bros I know my perspective could be better.

my best advice for you right now is to stop painting for a while, you need to draw simpler things. Draw still lifes and focus on getting your objects and shapes in perspective.

>>4354078
>>4352918
This is fucking amazing, damn near looks like a 3d render

Not really a critique, just something that came to me after looking at your drawing.

>>4363100
it is my dude, but dont let that get to you, painting is a massive MASSIVE step forward, just focus on drawing for now and do your best to get good study material. One step at a time and you will get there

>>4363615
I'm glad, and thank you.

finally got a piece going

>>4363611

ok

From a series of 30 drawings I did today, this one turned out the best

I've been at a plateau for a while now and I'm not sure what the next steps are.
Some of my older rendering attempts look better than my new ones, so I'm probably not making any progress by just doing passes over and over.
It should be a simple process so there has to be something I'm doing wrong that I'm too inexperienced to see

There are people who've spent half the time I have studying color theory and they can make shit look great. I might just not be wired for using color. From base colors right up until the highlights I always struggle to pick good ones, it's not intuitive at all, the patterns are all over the place

Noice linework

>>4365003
watch Marco Buccis stuff if you havent already

also sometimes this stuff just takes time and comes in short bursts between plateaus, keep at it

Someday I will draw a background instead of a vague color-gradient shape, but not today.

>>4365163
I legitimately thought that was a picture of an actual mask for a good second. Great stuff, my guy. Always love seeing traditional art in here.

>>4365003
Take this with a grain of salt because I majorly struggle with color myself, but first thought is that yellow light in general tends to look sickly to me, particularly on green objects. The orange dragon looks way more vibrant just by default.

https://tfiddlerart.artstation.com/
Give this guy a look if you haven't seen him already. You remind me of him in style, and he's got process vids on IG that are fantastic.

>>4365272
So would you describe the light of the sun/any incandescent light source as closer to white than yellow when it's hitting a surface? That's what I was trying to emulate but if it looks sickly then that's kind of the opposite effect.

Thanks for the link, this is almost exactly what I'm going for. From the videos I found it looks like he works from grayscale into color, but its still useful.

>>4363611
a cute

>>4365003
I’ve seen your stuff before on various threads and it’s always looked very nice, mind if I ask you what resources you learned from and how to apply them?

>>4365298
Yes but with exceptions. Like I said, grain of salt, but personally I tend to think of yellow/orange as only coming up in situations of high contrast light. Meaning when your ambient light is high, keep your main light source leaning whiter so you don't overwhelm your other colors (unless you want to, in which case go all out!). But when your ambient light is low and you've got high contrast with deep/saturated shadows to counterbalance the harshness of yellow light, you can let those yellows/oranges pop.

For instance, if you cranked up the contrast on your stuff, pushed the highlights/rim lights, I think the yellow would probably work fine.

Another link since he came to mind. Videos tend to ramble and he's definitely not your style, but the dude knows his lighting/colors.

name of this thread is constructive criticism. comment is neither constructive nor criticism. lrn2crit

>>4365003
Color should be the last fundamental you worry about. You should be comfortable drawing the things you want to paint before you try to paint them.

Things like shape design and perspective are much more important to you as an artist at this stage.

And in painting, you should only be using color to try to train your eye to see in value. Values >>>>> color.

When you do move on to color, think about temperature. I think temperature harmony is the key to colors that work. After that, color is the fundamental where you truly get to go crazy and be yourself.

Hope this helps.

>>4354770
I liked your drawing so much, I drew a four-armed woman inspired by your pose. Not gonna post it but y'know, your drawings good.

Almost done I think watch ya think?

>>4366508

you can push the bg, right now it feels like a piece of paper behind her.

all your forms are really mushy and lacking hard edges for the most part. there's not clear light source and the colors are super underwhelming. i think you're hiding a lot of anatomical misunderstandings with your rendering.

>>4365094

like what?

I can draw pretty well, but I've put off learning to paint for a while and I'm just starting to get to it. Obviously I still have a ways to go, but am I on the right track in terms of technique?

Bros how can I take my digital sketches to a more finished state? What am I not doing?

>>4367101
Like the hair texture. The harsh jagged core shadow on the nose seems to suggest she has a broken nose.

>>4368613
Work on the smaller forms

>>4366209

>>4363090
Only good one ITT.

>>4365116
The perspective is wonky but i like it

>>4362685
I was thinking more his tendency to draw characters with massive child-birthing hips and big juicy anime eyes.

>>4363090
What does everyone like about this? Why is it so popular? The picture quality is pretty bad, and the design isn't anything special. I've seen drawings with better fundamentals posted here before. So what's so successful about this in particular?

I drew this for a massive collab/call and my stupid ass decided to make one of the hardest shirts to draw in my whole life. Fuck you Gaultier

All those smooth curves without any corners or straight lines, completely flattens outs your drawing, especially in the bird's feet and the skull helmets.

>>4374829
I dont get what you mean

>>4374894
It's not the curves. It's the fact that your perspective is unclear/inconsistent. It's easier to maintain consistency when you draw with straight lines.

But curves are important for carrying gesture and for rhythm. Don't get rid of them, but realize the additional strengths of straight lines and try to harmonize the contrast of curves and straights.

Sorry if that's a bit cryptic.

>>4374925
Yes i get what you mean. Thank you

>>4374894
Lets take the feet, the toes and claws blends into one smooth line, it needs some kind of corner, to indicate where the toe ends and claw begins.
You can use curves if you prefer, but you must never lose the indication of form.

going through dynamic sketching

Saw this interesting picture of Jack Nicholson last night. Just had to draw it and reinterpret it.

>>4362310
Tracing can look awful if you don't know what you're doing.

So the artist would need to render well to and hide sloppy paint strokes, and ensure perspective is accurate after using multiple references, and ensure clothing wraps around the body properly.

If it's stolen work, image search it, maybe you'll find similar references cus of the colours.

Whether I decide to draw or not, nobody actually gives a fuck.

I wish I had something going for me, but it's probably way too late for me.

Any tips on better colors? How do I take this further?

There's a lot you need to work on but in terms of colours lay some glazes on it, also up the saturation on the focal points. Add a new layer, fill with black and set blending to colour then sort out your values this needs contrast.

Not that you care for crit or opinions, I wouldn't have cut her face in two big planes like that; would have had a soft reflected light coming from the wall back onto her face and done a gentle silhouette of her jawline and mouth and played around with the terminator around her cheekbone, esp. because it's a young girl and soft features in this context aren't a bad thing.

Again, just a random anon's 2c.

I really like your posts. If you have any tips to share on how to go down this road of traditional-digital-painting, I would love to hear.

Way too messy and way too loose without a single semblance of structure. You are not good enough to be starting your paintings like this. Use a more refined, thoughtful sketch

Struggling with drawing a realistic character, can I please get some crits or redlines? Not confident on the pose

I appreciate that, anon.

I love the palette here, but I agree with the other anon, the excessive lack of definition takes a away from it. I like the comp, nice contrast between the character and the back drop as well.

I'd also say your values are also a bit flat.

This is so cool.Although imo the edges and strokes are so defined that they instead sort looked plastered onto the wall, rather than painted on like mural.

Maybe make use of a mix brush, or one with a more gouache feel

This is so cool, very evocative design work Although imo the edges and strokes are so defined that they instead sort looked plastered onto the wall, rather than painted on like mural.

Maybe make use of a mix brush, or one with a more gouache feel. Maybe working in some of that weathering or cracks and textures of the surface into the mural itself could help it feel more tangible in that sense.

awesome

How do I make the head feel more connected to the body? I feel I should lower it a little bit but I lack the exact knowledge of why I fucked up. Any other mistakes you can point are also welcome.

the thing that's really killing you here is the dissonance between how realistic you want the design to be and the lack of realism in the actual minute details. The jacket is the biggest offender here and it's ruining an otherwise nice illustration. Love the face. The pose is as good as it might get right now without some reference.

There are no mistakes, only happy accidents

Someone mind redlining this? I'vd been told the leg is 'off', but can't seem to figure out what is off about it.

the thighs are very long compared to the calves. i would make the lower part of the legs extend out further

wip, gonna post finished version probably in the next thread since this one is almost dead

>>4386618
Very noice.

Here's a monstrosity i made, not sure what wall i banged my head against to come up with it but whatever

I'm not over with this dogshit.
I feel like Mike and Joe look too much alike in terms of shape language and it's bothering me.
They are suposed to be father and son, thats why they have some common facial stuff, but I dont want them to be mixed.
Do you see it too or am I just overthinking?

>>4387221
This is amazing tho

>>4387313
Thanks!

>>4386850
would shortening the thighs be a better idea?
