Previous thread: >>>4426207

Stop drawing with that styel it doesn't look good and it's not impressive. Cope.

>>4449254
I will repost this since the thread died not too long before I posted it, >>4448056.

>>4449292
Each to their own :P

Still need to color it

Here is what I have been working on please tell me however you feel about it. Sorry for massive size I don't feel like compressing it

>>4449254
Looks like someone figured out how to use the lasso lul either way its a dogshit op

>>4449449
I really like it. I feel like I can understand a lot about the personality of the model just from your stylistic decisions.

>>4449466
Sorry my dude, it was from imagination, although I was trying to to make it from an older draeing also from imagination ahahah

>>4449462
Cool work man

>>4449484
thanks (:

>>4449562
;)

>>4449816
why do you keep drawing this

>>4449819
Just to fuck with (you) in particular.

>>4449819
Pyw armchair artist lmao

pls respond

Lil study.

>>4450292
Oh this ones cool, reminds me of Coll's work

I am a chronic time waster and I must get faster.

>>4449462
This really appeals to my linework-loving lizard brain. The eyeball is a nice touch, too.

>>4449816
The clothing is so overkill lol. It also looks silly. I dont know how you can draw the exact same pose with the exact same lighting and with the exact same ruan jia copy cat background. Im not saying you should study his stuff more closely because sadly thats too hard for a brainlet like you. Go watch ctrl paint videos to understand how digital painting works my little baby boy.

>>4450549
Wait, I'm confused. Are you saying you want me to study general fundamentals or that I should take inspiration from Matt Kohr instead of Ruan Jia?

Tryna study daily. This took 4hrs. From life, grayscale to color. I'm gonna try goin full color first next time

>>4450821
wtf is that

>>4450823
I'm trying to guess if you've never seen either a bowl, a spoon, or an orange before in your life, and I cant decide which is funnier.

>>4450821
Good study but quit the niggerspeak

>>4450113
looks p rad, though my only thing is the left eye wish it was more like the right in some way but it still looks p rad over all regardless imo.

Don't dox yourselves please, we have to make it

currently drawing everyone in a group discord as bears for fun. plan on making a collage of them and making it into a pick guard for a guitar or stickers.

art of the week i guess

>>4449816
I was just gonna say your knees look low.
>>4450549
Jeeze.

>>4451114
Very cute.

Quick doodle. Might try to make something out of it.

>>4451207
Very cute.

Quick doodle. Might try to make something out of it.

I pirated Clip Studio and the pressure wasn't working, so i draw anyways.

I havent done any digital work since december of last year, feels good to pick it up again after a while.

>>4451240
this actually looks good, tools don't make artists anon, ya did good.

Doing this as one of my first commissions so I wanna get it right. I feel like I might need to work on the position in the pic it kinda feels weird for me. Probably just looked way to long at it.

Still deciding what I should do for the background. Idk why but drawings like this take longer and are more tedious than portraits

just finished this one a lil bit ago

>>4451240
this is really damn cool. Saved. Good Job!

>>4451517
Wait, you made this? Fuckin' nice, man

>>4451393

>>4451549
Thanks, I used a frame from the movie though. But my version is like 5000x7000 pixels

>>4451586

>>4451612
I think you should cover the eyes with the veil

>>4451617

maybe man! Thanks for the suggestion.

>>4451612

>>4451513
I love it, really cute and has personality.
Is this someone's grandma? Because if so that's wholesome.

>>4451648

it still eats up the limits

>>4452248

What limits?

>>4452257
I dont know if it applies to ic, but some threads have bump limits and image limits.

>>4452260
Completely different server to Pol, which doesn't have bump limits either, just a technocratic dictatorship.

>>4452248
>>4452257
>>4452260

what I worked on this evening
any suggestions or perhaps ideas for the background?

Hey /ic/, here is something I did bored in quarantine. Turned out pretty cool I think.

>>4452207
It's not your thread, faggot.

and like the other guy said, Spongebob and patrick are a really charming touch lol

Looks more like he is a zoomer meme artist

I just finished this

Cmon man please

Do you think I should try rendering the skin?

>>4454190

I might try to animate this one later. I'm having a lot of fun with pixel art stuff

>>4449254
https://www.twitch.tv/nuewtie

this girl need some help to push some of her art to sale
care to help^?

my first drawing what do you guys think

This is the last thing I finished. It was for a Collab so they only need the character.

>>4454581
Are you trying to go for a Ruan Jia look, or are you just coincidentally doing your own thing?

drawed a falco

I can't get the green glow out of the center without starting over, so I may as well get a fresh quarter.

I drew this today, I'm trying to work on getting faster at coloring!

>>4454677
i'm just trying to improve my art skills

>>4455836
That goes without saying, friend. But that doesn't really answer my question.

If there's something about RJ that you're trying to capture in attempt to improve, I think I can give you some RJ specific tips. If you're just doing your own thing and it happens to look similar to RJ, those tips might not apply to you.

The basis of a critique is to give constructive criticism not towards what looks realistic or correct, but towards your personal vision.

>>4455880
not trying to be mean here, but nothing you do actually resembles anything of RJ, it just looks like ur trying too hard to be him.

>>4455888
>>Nothing you do even resembles RJ
>>Your art looks like it's trying to copy RJ
Pick one, or rephrase.

>>4450292
Looks cool but the value on her fore head should NOT be that dark

>>4454036
update, having trouble with the face, looks flat and boring

Last page of my sketchbook, I fucking hate how rough the paper is

>>4454834
neat

Underpainting

>>4456177

The white area on the right needs some color, and I think I need to change the color of the yellow, maybe just using it as an underpainting. Any suggestions? Want to clean/finish this one.

>>4456300
Use oranges, also instead of white put it grey, because if you put yellow near white it doesnt look like light, because white is for highlights

>>4456028
This looks like something that would sell for $30 million

>>4455438
I saw your quarter art in another thread, you are really good! I like your art a lot.
Even the tree looks good, it just looks like one in winter

>>4449816
No matter what the crabs say about this artwork, I like it. But yes, the knees do look a little short

>>4449254
I saw dis niga on facebook

Painted these two in one sitting earlier today

>>4456853
Evankhell and enryuu fanart from tower of god
seriously cant wait for it to release tomorrow

>>4455880
You are wasting your time.
I already told you in a previous thread that I don't want to talk about art anymore.

>>4456931
Have it your way, then. Makes no difference to me.

Its been....a while

>>4456854
The face is pretty weird here not sure if that was the purpose. It's like it's trying to be unreadable.

How would i go on about finishing the hair? I cac't seem to get the hairline right. I'm very new to art.

finished this one

>>4457060
He's meant to be unreadable as thats his character and he isnt fully shown

How do I stop chicken scratching?

drew tristana recently. any opinions?

long story

>>4454200
yes

>>4457282
I had my doubts when you said "anime girl" last thread, but this turned out pretty dope. I really dig the contrast between the more realistic painting and the gradient/cell shaded bits. Not easy to make those work together.

>>4457282
like it a lot, blog?

>>4457282
cool shit

I got nostalgic and ended up drawing a Sans

>>4457059

I love that

>>4457378
force yourself to draw from shoulder even if it looks shit

>>4456002
what? thats literally not what i said.

>>4456781
It doesn't look like Bonbi at all, RAD. Still a good effort.

>>4456462
Thanks, thats a very nice thing to say! :P

>>4457282
Very nice. The girl looks a bit too big in comparison to the tank, though.

>>4449254
Did this the other day, after work.

>>4457921
Followed up with this one.

revisions

>>4457645
But I draw lying down.

>>4457427
thanks anon. this is the first time I tried this and I think I will stick with it
>>4457465 no but I'm working on my portfolio website and I don't have insta or anything else
>>4457600
thanks anon
>>4457916
it's supposed to be like a unmanned tank (UGV) so its smaller. I think my mistake was making it based on a real manned tank design

>>4457397
she's cute! I dig it. I think some of her silhouette is getting lost around the neck area. Trist's neck to head ratio seems pretty important, so I feel you should see more of that shape. Also think we should be able to see all of the ears

Have been struggling with getting the perspective /angle of the sword right, its meant to be facing upwards. Any feedback?

>>4457282
Cool style, I really like that weird weapon

>>4458279
something like this maybe?

>>4458466
Oh that look sick. Cheers, i'll mess about with it a bit.

Underpainting on going

Little watercolor

>>4449254
Fuck ofF happybottomfuckboy you giant lipped cocksucker.

>>4458625
kek

>>4458466
make it a bit smaller, looks like the sword is bigger then the person holding it. but I would say you got the perspective right, looks sick

>>4457883
Scroll up for two more drawings

:-)

Am I overdoing it with the unnatural skin colours? Also any general advice is greatly appreciated

Doing this for a competition.

Don’t mind the white figure, it’s a place holder.

A still life done for a class

>>4458890
it has a classic illustration feel. i think it looks great. keep going!

2h30 daily photo study

>>4458977
Put some more hours in and finish it.

>>4455836
I like what you do a lot but I feel like it would benefit from some stronger aerial perspective, using slightly lighter and cooler colours the further back an object is. Looks a bit flat rn

>>4449254
My first ever soft pastel drawing, is it even possible to draw a face with pastels at this tiny dimension? I had to add sunglasses cause it was so bad.
Critique more pls

>>4458953
Here's the reference for it, it was supposed to be stylised for a typical Netherlands still life painting. I would truly appreciate your feedback if you notice anything that would need improvement

>>4459016
why fill the glass if you're not going to paint it like that? it also looks like you spent a lot more time on the skull and not so much on the other objects

Progress >>4458890

>>4459022
It took quite a bit of time to finish and the liquid was evaporating. We eventually gave up on refilling it and just cleaned it out.
I did spend the most time on it, it was the most pleasant to paint. Thanks for the pointer, I'll give the rest of the objects some more love to even it out

>>4458960
Not exactly what I was going for but hey, why not

>>4450549
Shut up crab.
>>4457282
Girl too big or tank to smoll. Feels likt the deers are clipping into the ground. Otherwise pretty decent.
>>4458813
Her right hand feels longer than the left.

>>4459048
>Not exactly what I was going for but hey, why not
yeah, it reminds me of the war bonds guy

>>4457282
>>4458813
good stuff

I was doing some sketching to practice drawing faces with more variety to them and this is one I've cropped from that selection. I know the neck is long and the breast too high up, I'll post more samples as replies to this.

>>4459241
Here's another.

>>4459257
Another one I did by hand.

>>4459241
And a Dragon. I was told he looks too "anime" and I'm big booty bothered about it.

>>4459274
'By hand'
Do you normally paint with your feet or something?

>>4459423
lmao i thought the same thing

>>4459073
>>4459048
Looks like a mix between War Bonds guy and Saint Tarrant

WIP

>>4449293
Ew

>>4453732
Stop using special effects to hide that the drawing is flawed and ugly.

>>4458625
I am laughing out loud.

Recent pet portrait commission

trying to find my own way in digital, I paint too soft and and my lineworks shit, so i'm trying to find a way to digital like i draw traditional. what do you think of this attempt.

Trying to understand how to make cell shading look decent and what to simplify using low/high contrast.

Thoughts?

>>4461398
I like the eerie mood and low contrast. Are the brighter dots supposed to be speculars? They dont really read as such. They might be a little too small.

WHY IS MINE SO SHIT? I wasn't trying to capture the likeness, only the pose/rendering, but it simply came out SHIT even tho the values are mostly the same (aside for the highlights, which I removed to see if looked better).

>>4461846
Construction, proportions, and blocking,
The values are not the same

made with willow charcoal and pastel pencil. Any criticism is welcome

>>4461962
I just fixed his jaw, I realized after I posted it

>>4453732
Do you know this artist? > https://www.deviantart.com/chasingartwork/gallery

they use shards in their work to but their drawings are easier to read. A lot of your work so far is hard to make out but I do get the intent and it has a lot of potential.

Your style is to overdone and the underlying drawing doesn't look interesting the best artists for you would probably be

Nesskain
Yoji Shinkawa
and ChasingArtwork

These artists work have a similar fragmented or shard-like look to their work but the subject is easy to read.

>>4461846
The values are not the same yours are too dark

>>4462204
You should be ashamed of yourself.

Just some quick volume practice. A friend said I should try to make my drawings feel a more 3D overall.

>>4461846
Your values aren't subtle and the changes are more abrupt, the face itself is also completely different and off in multiple places, she looks like she is frowning really hard.

I'd recommend just trying again and measuring more carefully.

from self portrait to this...

I love this because of how identifiable it is from the thumbnail. Very good use of shading and highlights.

>>4462204
nigga
good

fucked up the proportions but had MASSIVE gains for rendering. and painting.

>>4462744
Nice rendering of reflective materials. Looks like you've applied your lessons from Scott Robertson well. There is too much black overall. You could keep your darkest values for occluded areas. Maybe make the windows transparent as well. The image as a whole looks good anyway.

>>4462797
I haven't learned Scott Robertson yet lmao, if I had it wouldn't have had such clunky perspective. All I applied was lessons from Keys to Drawing. Still appreciate the crits, though.

Sketch for a oil painting of FF XIV Shiva

There is a really dramatic perspective distortion on the sword but not on the pillars/trees that are in the background. Try to stretch those as well so that it is consistent. If they are very far away then they should stretch as they get closer to us as well.

>>4466449
maybe the sword just has a weird shape

I'm afraid you can only pick two.

>>4468830
ok i'll pick good artist and no trolls nor porn
what do you have in stock, I'm starting to lose my battle against PMO here.

>>4468848
Didn't think you'd actually call me on it. Best I can do is:

ModerndayJames' discord. Active/no porn/trolls, but most artists are meh.
https://discord.gg/RdJ6ajF

/r/hungryartists discord. Way less active. Porn quarantined in NSFW boards but not outright banned. Most artists are at least pretty okay.

I drew Noodle. She got her hair fringe back like it was pre-2015 and I'm loving it, so nostalgic

I'm taking my time with this.

>>4469326
I like the sci-fi design, but I think the head is a little to big like the face pop up too much in the front I don't know how to explain this, I tried to make a modification, what do you think ?

Finished her yesterday. Cybergirls is tought theme for me

>>4461439
>>4464499
Hey, im that guy^
I tried drawing smth using ur palette

>>4469736
nice rendering but everything below her head needs to be redone

>>4469736
You should try to fix that anti-aliasing in your brush. I just had to fix this myself.

>>4469713
lol I think you got that one right.
Funny thing about it is that I forgot that what I was supposed to draw was a visor. So I basically slapped a face on a visor.

>>4469736
Fokken Cleen Maet.
But I agree with >>4469774
I'm curious of your work process. Mine's a mess

>>4469774
Thank you, but I wanted to ask what is rendering... Sorry, my english is not very good

>>4469793
Rendering basically means the shading, lighting and it's overall quality.
>>4469774
What he meant was that the anatomy can get some improvement. People around here are pretty vague on their advice most of the time.

>>4469789
Basicly I'm starting with sketch, then I'm doing lineart, after I'm filling it with colour. Then shades, lights, colour-correcting... And that's it.

>>4469754
It's very neat! I like your architecture. It's quite a lot more detailed than mine. Nice work anon!

>>2269821
sorry, I thought I can add few images in post... Here first two

>>4469799
>What he meant was that the anatomy can get some improvement
yeah that but also the pose and symmetry especially the torso
that anon is clearly better than me so i didn't think he wouldn't understand what i meant.

>>4468358
I like the colors and it's cool and all, just don't use a brush in a way that it's clear which brush you used.
>>4468360
Your shadings all over the place. if the suns up and behind, everything would be back-light with only an edge glow, if it's above then the leaves would cast shadow down on the truck, also make your back and foreground different tones.
>>4468362
Don't stop at the first step to get approval, finish the damn thing and then see what others think.
>>4468366
don't emphasize individual teeth. looks like she has gingivitis

Don't draw individual teeth, way to much detail in places that don't need it, either have giant eyes or move the side of the head closer to the eye, no line variation.

You are not thinking about why you are using the line weight that you are using. Heavy lines should be used to imply shadows or to show weight, light lines to show highlights and lightness.
>>4469157
focus on line drawing or rendering one at a time, you're doing both and neither are working.

Face is fine, you have to put more effort into the rest

Back of the hand and hip need the lines cleaned up, pant cuffs are symbol drawn. still cute
>>4469337
clean up your sketches
>>4469665
Nice, but over detailed and lines and perspective is fucked in some places. >>4469326
build up detail over the entire picture at the same time, don't just concentrait on the parts you like, hair is playdough
>>4469736
do thumbnails to get a pose before you start drawing, work out detail in sketches. you've got the "this is concept art" pose.

darker grey for the shadows.

Thanks man. Here's my work currently. I started yesterday. It is taking a really long time because my process is all over the place. I tend to discover a better solution to a problem when I already made the mistake. Hopefully, when I am finished rendering this pain in the arse, I get to remember the stuff I learned.

Thank you :)

Yo, dude who painted the winking girl here. Can you elaborate for me because your sentence didn't really say much. I did a line drawing, painted over it then added light and details. Will post it again when it's done.

compare the eyes to the nose. The eyes are made with solid lines, the nose is made from building up shading. The eyes and lips look like they are stapled onto a realistic face. you should try either making the skin more cartoonish, or make the features of the face and hair, more realistic. your in a weird no mans land right now.

>over detailed

If I reduced the detail any more it would look unfinished.
