/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

for the anon who painted this, how did you learn to paint? Did you use Loomis? Did you copy photo references until you could do it from your head?

Line drawing makes sense to me, but I can't get into light and shadow

>>6798944
how do my colors look

Does it suck

No references btw

1H

>>6799470
Fatter

>>6799498
Yer

Let me know what you guys think, and if I should post more...

Dirty /beg/ reporting in, first time posting in /draw/
I kinda want to place this dude as if he was walking in a giant forest with very tall trees but I lack the references and skill.

Oh well.
Also it will be like my 2nd attempt at digital painting. Any glaring mistake I should fix before I get started with the painting?

Congratulations on the baby btw. I'm glad all those doctor trips and baggy underwear ended up paying off!

You too huh? Life only took me for a year and a half but yeah. Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes.

>>6746282
Tell me about it. Feels especially strange that /beg/ had been folded in with /int/ but maybe that's helped assuage some bruised ego's?

>>6800538
Love the silhouette of this guy

I was feeling prettt good about this, but got shot down by the rating thread.
Apparently the structure and anatomy is completely busted, but I can't see it. Any kind anon help out with that?

This is my enemy

I want to finish this one. Any suggestion before coloring it (again)?

>>6799009
i only used to do line drawing for a long time too, i used to find painting really difficult and i still struggle but its easier now. I think what made me improve the most was doing value studies and working from greyscale to color, once you got the values down you can get away with almost any colors. Another tip is to find some artists that you like and observe how they paint and try to apply it to ur own art, even just a small thing like: ”oh this nose looks relly flat, how can i make it pop?” look at how ur fave artists paint noses. A fun challenge is to try to paint a whole piece with another artist’s style, you will learn alot.

I watched this video yesterday, maybe it could be some use to you aswell:
https://youtu.be/5Xjcxw-WkPo

Picrel was the final outcome of the face, pretty rough but im proud of it

got inspired one night and I'm quite happy with how it came out. any advice to improve the skin texture?

From today.

>>6804251
Maybe make it glossy with some hard highlights?
Moist.

>>6804251
reflected light in the shadows to show he’s slippery methinks

I remember when begs used to get bullied out of /draw/

>>6804239
Thank you so much, anon <3

You and I were meant to be.

Wanted a guy based on Prussia/Germany, so I modeled him after an eagle and kept him angular. Ain't sure what to call him except his last name's Stahl. Kasper? Felix? Oswald?

>>6806475
Oswald is perfect for his face. good job on this, he looks very memorable

>>6806475
silly design i like it a lot

>>6805848
no problem

>>6801555
Well, personally I don't think the anatomy is "completely" busted, but there are some parts that feel off. For example the mouth seems to be in the wrong angle, like it's facing more forward when it should be 3/4, on the right side of her neck the muscle that connects from the collarbone goes under her chin when it should go towards the ear, the ear is very undefined, eyes seem very flat and don't have form. Small things that tell you don't quite have a solid grasp of anatomy. Did you use a reference? Also you should work on your values and rendering. Keep it up!

everybody's waiting

1H

posting in every thread for more exposure

This, but finished.

>>6808245
And today. 1H

I made a boy who was once a dragon. Travels the lands to find a way to gain his original form again with a wandering princess looking to reclaim her throne.

>>6810404
Very korean

>>6810450
>>6810404
I'll post more concept of the boy

>>6810459
let me know what i can do to push the pose or concept

original form design

>>6800719
stay on /i/ u dog

This is the cacoslayer, your new worst enemy
also trying to pay less attention to doing a "perfect" work, if that makes sense lmao.

>>6811623

>>6811624

1H. Had someone on dc tell me what to draw.

25min, figuring out how to do core shadows better. Slowly slowly.

>>6809374
what a pointless drawing

Had the idea, did the idea. 1H. Now I rest before evening work.

20 min

>>6812785
the ear is a bit too high. Put it on the same height as the nose for more realism

Comments? Opinions? Show is Camp Lazlo.

>>6813184
I can't tell if this is supposed to be a man or a woman.
Legs/feet look off, ass looks weird, and the angle of the head is off. Kind of looks like they're head is in an upright position.
Pretty good overall tho

Idk what to do with the background or if the anatomy/posing is correct

Did a request for a /tg/ drawthread.

>>6810012
how do you see a pretty girl and draw her face like that jeez..
all that coomer brain effort went to rendering the butt

>>6800538
comfort zone redrawing the same character for fun under the pretense of "exploration"

>>6813302

Here's a face. 1H

>>6813276
I'd advice getting some ref for this kind of spotlight. As in pic related it tends to be the case that whatever is in the back won't be as light or be completely dark, unless the light is pointing at thick smoke/fog or directly against a wall. The ground surface and its environment that is seen behind remains visible with mostly clear readable shapes, only with darker values, having very soft transitions at the edges of the cone of light as it fades into shadow, with the only exception being a smoke/fog of scenario, which makes sense as these don't have solid edges and they are almost transparent, but anything behind them should be implied as a solid object, just with the logic of something semi transparent being in front of it, study pic related's top right image if you want to have a better idea of what that looks like, especially in the area of shadow where the ground meets the wall and as it transitions into the smoke, for this learning to understanding what firm, soft and lost edges look like will allow you to recreate it in your pieces, though you may want to get a higher quality photo if you want to dig deeper.

Imo for this scene with your character I'd personally go for something like bottom left with a clear separation of light and shadow pushing the contrast between the 2 value groups, taking advantage of form and cast shadows, but you can try any of those refs (or your own) on grayscale, painting small thumbnails or just do a copy of the original while using multiply for a value check, in Photoshop you can turn the refs into B&W if you don't want to be distracted by the colors in them: just make a new layer, pick the bucket tool and fill it with black then set it into "color" blending mode, you can do this with your own painting to check your values as well.

Ideation. 45min total.

>>6813263
Thanks, I'll work on it.

>>6813302
I'm pretty sure if the subject wanted to focus on their face they would have oiled that too.

I say Do Not Draw.

I say instead,take a Pen or Pencil to a blank piece of paper and See What Happens.

The distinction? The former intimidates, and cripples creativity through the pursuit of unrealistic ideals. The latter IS different, free of expectation, of conformity, of censure, since the objective is just getting marks on that white expanse.

Just this can be an unscaleable mountain, a devouring gulf. The inadequacy of skill,the pseudo unworthiness of not having a whole statue after knocking off a few chips of stone. It's a fear reasonably unreasonable for the effects on fledgling artists. Every line a lesson, every breath a parable. I only ever have the vaguist idea of what I intend to draw and am surprised by what happens ,both in art and the story.
This is what I have been doing over the past few weeks:hyperlapse videos of me drawing stuff for a few hours .Sometimes I will expand on a work,and make rhe sequels justifiable. Each one a mystery unraveling. So...

See what happens.

>>6806475
Your kraut inspired me to draw my own. Hans Uberman and his girlfriend Lili Angel.

>>6814507
I guess. I only threw the darkness and light around the character in after I was done drawing it, just to have something there.
Should've propably just thrown in some background hues.

>>6814964

>>6814507
>>6815052
To re-iterate, I appreciate the well thought out post, and you give some actually good advice.
Unfortunately the stuff in my drawing was just thrown in as an afterthought.

>>6814964
I like the style. Pretty sure you can make a lot of money selling T-shirts with this print.

>>6815064
Now draw him winking.

Still a WIP. A lot more cleanup and lighting adjustments left.

You turned him into DeSantis. LOL.

Half kidding. Nice line quality and digging the zigzagging shape language.

>>6818606
Damn, that sucks. I personally liked this lil guy but any actual tips would be great

>>6810465
I don't understand

>>6813890
Looking good, maybe I'd go easier with the folds on the suit, it's looking a bit too bussy on the elbow area. My other nitpick may be the hair on the back of her head, it could be designed a touch so it reads more clearly.

>>6800538

The sense of dynamism and movement in the clothing here looks so nice

>>6817769
I am in love with your work, I come to these drawthreads sometimes just to see if you've posted anything

I hope you're doing inktober this year so I can enjoy your work on the daily

Rough sketch. Is the pose too stiff?

>>6820888

>>6820790
That really means mountains to me mann, I don't know what else to say other than thank you so much, I'm so happy you like it and there'll be more coming soon :)
And I've never done Inktober but I plan on it this year!

nose in the wrong place/ right eye too far to the right, no highlights in the hair or anywhere, terrible skin coloring bad random shadows, clumpy hair, one long jaw with no end in sight, unsettling lips with no teeth, no real expression, no light direction, meaningless cheek and nose blush

>>6806431
weird disruptive shingles of hair in the back for no discernible reason, shadow along jawline make head look like a Bob head you put on your dashboard, weird shoulder, why does the right collarbone have subsurface scattering? its bone, whole thing is just annoyingly smooth, where is the texture? hair doesnt cast shadow, hair is clumpy, hair barely has variation, lighting on hair on the lower end tells you nothing about the light source, just scattered highlights, body is so unnaturally tanned in comparison to face, face melts into ear like there is no skull

>>6817214
>>6817467
these are technically correct and visually interesting but the B/W to color layer tuning "thing" and photo bashing is really off putting and kills any life in the piece.

Finished this for now.

(how did it taste?)

contribooting

actually finished something for once. i usually draw on paper so never color anything and when i do draw digital i always end up abandoning when i get to rendering. this is also my first background so any feedback would be appreciated

It looks fine. Generic and souless, but mechanically I dont see anything wrong with it.

Maybe the head is a little round?

>>6821504
i thought about that and i agree these look weird considering its not really attached to anything but i think they work better in this version.

Did a lil thumbnail. Trying to make some solid drawings before going to painting, how do these look anons? Struggling with posing the static relax pose and the action one

>>6831227
awesome then.

>>6798944
Thoughts on my oc ? Ye olde fred

>>6830928
nope. WIP

>>6814299
youre on the right track but you need to pay slightly more attention to accuracy
>>6805110
same here, the pan seems to be parallel instead of converging in perspective, colors much colder than the ref, some inappropriate/inaccurate shapes

but def good work just pay slightly more attention to the ref and youll get more understanding of the planes/forms, values, color range out of the practice

First time working with textured brushes for effect, usually just try cell shading type. Any suggestions for improvement would be great.

Here is a process shot of a painting I did awhile ago.
>>6838232
I was waiting for this reply.

I call him chuddie buddy, what do you guys think?

>>6798944
Composition sketch, might redo top part. And probably will try to channel Murata's spirit for the colors, if I ever get to them.

>>6837864
Underappreciated.

>>6838323
Not inc31 enough imho

>>6838307
I would go either easier on the lineart (smaller brush size) or flat out remove it. Other option is not using black but other hues that don't compete with your painting.
Still, try the only painting method just to make sure your subject reads without lineart, it's good practice for value and edge control

>>6798944
Yes.

>>6798944
What do you think?

>>6839029
Still didn't finish it tho

>>6839026
thanks anon, that helps a lot. I had a similar feeling when I was about a third of the way through I noticed that the line art looked WAY too cluttered and overwhelming. I'll try doing my next piece with much simpler lines, or maybe just sketch it out and finish it with no lining at all.

>>6838968
thanks bby <3

That's a white guys skull.

>>6838996

>>6839045
Huh. you're right as in every skull does protrude a bit more at the occipital, I guess I should correct that, even though your advice comes from a retarded ass place lmao.

I’m 47. If anyone was ever going to care about me, anyone I’ve ever had in my life would have done it already. All thats left now is a few more decades of laboring, watching my body fall apart, and death. And thats just how life goes for a lot of us.

Working on this but the perspective looks fucked up
Also I don't feel like the colors are pleasant to look at, if anyone has advice I'd be glad

SOULLESS.

Hows she looking, anons?

>>6844636
really nice rendering and idea. I'd maybe introduce a cooler color for the bg to bring the character forward. Darken the building to make the silhouette pop. I probably went overboard with the giant moon though, just thought it looked cool. Hope it helps! Cool stuff, wanna see it finished.

He could have a reflection in the water. But overall I think you nailed it. Thumbnail looks good. So does the full image. The spear metal is a bit odd, but that’s a nitpick.

>>6845565
It looks so much better :o thank you so much, you're amazing!!

>>6847640
happy to help, let's see it finished!

Quick sketch.

Funny enough I was trying to do something like this. It was more just for practice, since I'm terrible with color, and was just trying out multiple light sources. I dont think I did it right though

I started drawing again and I'm trying to learn to draw people, how is it? Can you recognize what celebrity it's supposed to be?
Sorry if it's sideways, I'm phoneposting.

Frylock I drew in the Drawpile thread. :-)

Where am i supposed to post my drawings on ic? Seems like the threads are so hyper specific now there is no where to just draw.

I guess im back here with the drawers

>>6849001

I was wondering that myself. It seems like all the threads are bitching about some specific thing or asking stupid questions and nobody just posts art.

Oh well, here's a really loose sketch.

>>6849001
Are you serious? Hyper specific threads are troll threads. And you have enough clout to revive any thread you want. You should do it with /alt/. Instead you choose to moan.

dont be mean.

>>6849893
Im just sayin, that horse takes up more than 60% of the drawing. It's a drawing of a horse

>>6849869
Real red red shifts, yellow is a bastard in the color spectrum, hence why elmo and big bird must die.

I thought this cool, glad to see you're still working on it.
But nah I couldn't imagine ever nuking everything, maybe just the occasional aged cringe lol

>>6849899
Ah, I see what you mean I didn’t notice at first. It was actually photobashed so I had to fill in the empty area…

>>6849877
It's the best thing in this thread. Post a better res image

>>6848602
A lot of terrible drawing today. Here's a sample.

>>6849001
Some comic phone thing for discord

>>6849113
Man atleast if we had the sketchbook threads those were pretty chill place to drop some sketches

>>6849126
I might make alt when i get back next week, but october is coming so probably going to just do inktober. It’s kind of funny. There are so many garbage threads that spawn, and i spend months debating if i should make one thread and then decide to just make no thread and complain instead.

>>6849472
What is goatse?

what's the opposite of missing someone? That's what i feel whenever i see your gross fetish art. dont you have shit and snotplay with your wife or something, go do that

What do I do to make my traditional drawings better? I feel like its way easier to draw digitally because I can zoom in and I have a thicker tip.
But I really want my traditional drawings to be good, but they just end up horrible.

>>6851221
Learn draw with a method like Loomis, Afterwards you will gain confidence and be able to draw freely but only after you have studied and drawn for hours, one day will simply pass.

How does this look so far?

Something self-indulgent. Next I'll try to draw some fat beefy monster guy and check out how gradient maps work.

Your colours are pretty dead. Work some saturation into your midtones and shadows.

>>6851914
I was going for a kind of a pale and ethereal look, does it communicate, or should there still be more?
I guess I could've used some purples or even blues there, though I'm not quite confident going into such things.

I'm especially entranced by the rimlighting, the sky, skin and wings colors-- everything, really! do you have a blog?

I have a feeling this may be the wrong angle for docking, please tell me what else I’ve done wrong

>>6806475
Good job except the hairstyle should be more militarist for a classic Prussian

>>6851109
Nice

>>6858899
Thanks very much friend! I had a pretty good idea of what colors I wanted to use for the sky so I found a ref for the background and shifted the hue to get it where I wanted it and colored the rest based on what I thought looked good with the bg lol. You can find me as wocelot on deviantart or tumblr

Youre such a fucking faggot dude.

>>6859358
your mom

>>6858486
Very cool, I definitely see the Amano influence

>>6860006
thank you.
here's an alternate one. Couldn't decide which one i like more

>>6858486

The purple/blue hue really makes it pop out more than simple black

Is this finished or are you still going to work on it?

>>6859358
I think it's just wasted talent.

>>6854289
Made me audibly snort. I love it anon, keep up the grind
>>6853717
I get that it's "style" but the size of your lines really hide any sense of detail. Maybe just keep the thick lines for shading and fills?
>>6858506
The loli is getting much more light from the lava(?) than the monster girl, whom is closer. Other than that call it quits on this one. Good job

>>6860342
haha thanks for the edit lmfaoo. based yugioh bro.
yeah it is finished, i can clean it up some more but i like to maintain some degree of roughness in my work.

>>6860349
please show us all what you consider worthy art.

>>6860415
>can clean it up some more but i like to maintain some degree of roughness in my work.
it works if you keep it like that since the face is the focal point of the image
you got any more like this or got more ygo?

>>6860446

>>6860466

Great lighting/shadong man

Drew this in honor of Gojo. rest in piece to my glorious blue eyed baby boy

The value of the rug should be much lighter, it'll really make it read much better.

>>6860432
>worthy art
That isn't even close to my point.
Take a look at this >>6849501
It if infinitely more interesting than
>>6859294
>>6856095
>>6851068
and it takes a fraction of the skill.

You are obviously very talented, but the work is just so listless and boring. It honestly feels bad, like wasted potential.

Experimenting with some new techniques made possible by recent technological developments.

There are almost no photographic elements in this piece.

>>6860675
lol what

>>6849501
blog pls

>>6860949
Surgery in the sky

>>6861055

>>6861077
I didn't mean to quote. So, yeah.

Certainly seems like more people are asking about this penciled in cartoon

>>6862409
how do I become as good as you? Please give me a practice schedule + reading list for the next year. Assume I'm a high /beg/ who can only do lineart

Current WIP. Not sure how to make the gun of the conquistador pop mor.

>>6862553
ok first of all thank you I'm flattered, this is the first time i get a reply like this.
Second of all i really don't think I'm qualified to give art advice, because i never actually sat down and properly studied something or grinded fundies i just kinda draw whatever i feel like at the moment. this isn't me bragging this is something i regret, i feel like I could be better if i actually read a book about art or something but i just kind of have zoomer attention spam preventing me. following what i do may slow down your progress.

At any rate, i can't give you a practice schedule but I'll give you some pointers that helped me.

i like to stay very inspired and influenced by other Artists. i try to copy them.
i started off trying to emulate yoshitaka amano and ayami kojima, and some manga artists i love like tite kubo.

An artist that had a profound impact on me is Gen Jun Miya/Jun Suemi. his artbook has been posted in the artbooks thread you can find it if you dig through the archives.

i also discovered alot if artists i love on twitter, check out @Q6Q6TIKIN @phorigami @T5Fwtf and of course Yumin_Li. (these are the artists you want to aim to be like, not me)

As for practical pointers about my process, i don't do lineart, i fucking hate it. i also don't like sketching with a pencil tool, i only draw a few guidelines and sometimes i skip them entirely. i like using big blobs of paint instead and then sculpting an interesting shape out of them, i use alot of square brushes, i like the shape it gives more than round brushes. i mess around with opacity on layers alot and use lots of layers (more than i should desu). i recommend marco buccis videos on coloring and light and value (he has a cool playlist).

here's a speedpaint.
you can see me struggle alot. I'm not pro or anything.

>>6862720
thank you for the detailed answer, anon. I've asked a few other really skilled anons here and they all gave the same answer as you. It seems like all the best artists on this board, the ones who can really paint circles around established industry professionals, all just learned by master copies.

Do you paint from photos too? Or is it all copying and doing it yourself from imagination?

>>6862738
i do portraits too yeah, i forgot to mention that. they're really helpful. and they feel good to draw. it's a nice ego boost when someone close to you asks "oh you draw ? can you draw me?" and you can just answer "yeah" with no ifs or buts. good motivation.

>>6862740
You are so amazing anon, I envy everything about you

>>6862742
aw shucks, i don't know how to respond to that, I'm really flattered, and i get it, i would kill to be able to paint like @Q6Q6TIKIN for example. there alot of "negative" emotions that can be great motivation. Envy, Spite, Anger can all drive you to draw more and better. i don't think i make is all that unachievable, you already know the steps, the most important thing imo is to stay inspired

>>6862748
Thank you for the encouragement, sensei. I wont disappoint you

>>6861521
mmmm, whats her number?
if its an online ref, give sauce plz
she activates my hard round brush, anon ;)

>>6862624
Lighten the color up, add a white outline?
