Now, for the critique:
I like it, I like it. You really captured a personality in the design and the posture.

The figure on the left, the right hand looks too small or too...circular? And on the right the shoulders are, well, nonexistent even though you clearly defined them on the right one.

Are poeple meant to see through those helmets? It looks opaque as hell. Kinda like a hard piece of plastic. It's needs more reflections, or needs to look more glossy, or just make it glass-like or transparent.
All in all, when I look past your messy line work, I think it's pretty cool looking.

The eyes are too white, look a little unnatural. Construction is solid,palette needs work imo. Everything is pretty saturated, I would let some areas desaturate and save the saturation for the areas that need it most. Especially the beard area and beneath the eyes, cheeks nose eyelids etc should be more saturated than surrounding areas, generally speaking.

Digthe first but not the second. Second is too dirty and noisy, lacks the simplicity that makes the first image work.

[Anonymous No.1478795]

>>1478781
Too brown. No seriously, if there was any 1 reason as to why it's not visually interesting, to me anyway, it would be that there's too much brown (a very neutral color).
But I do think it's nice. The hair is fabulous, the nose is nice, the lips are nice and the look of the face is nice. It's just really brown.

Something else is that I think a lot of the image looks pretty flat. You might want to consider making the neck look round/cylindrical. The eyes need less flatness too. Think of the eye as a ball and render it that way (follow the light of course). The cheeks have no roundness, but that's fine I guess if that's what you're going for.

I still like it though. It's just so brown, I feel like I'm back in public school.

As for tips, any medium where you can complete a likeness in a minute or so is preferable. Customers are impatient and VERY sensitive about their appearance (especially of their kid's appearance). As for exaggeration, remember you proportions, think of the head as a water balloon. The volume is fluid, but the mass never changes. If you exaggerate the chin the crainium gets smaller and vice versa.

Also, loomis.

[Anonymous No.1478858]

Yeah I got Tom Richmond's Mad Art of Caricaturing and he says pretty much the same, although I don't think he ever mentioned the head as a water balloon - that makes a lot of sense to me now.

Most of the images I sold were head on, because they'll look at you looking at them. To help with symmetry, draw the whole head shape at once instead of trying to match this cheek to that cheek. Other than that, draw a lot of heads on your own time to the point where you can see the underlying structure in everyone's head. Helps speed, accuracy, and make design choices easier.

>>1478898
You seem to know some stuff already.
Might I suggest setting up a keyboard shortcut for flipping the image horizontally? Flipping the image, similar to kinda rotating the image while you're drawing on paper, gives you a proverbial new set of eyes for looking at your image and correcting the "mistakes."
I use Ctrl+F(lip), which in Photoshop was originally set to repeat filter, but no one uses that.

Anyway,
Right now your brush work, blending, and pushing values need work, but you're off to a good start. Try reading the post at the top of this thread to get some good brushes AND good tips and tricks for painting.

Thank you for the critique, I'll definitely check out the info on how brushes work in Photoshop in this thread and on Youtube.

Posemaniacs is good. I think you can turn off the combat and acrobatic poses and just do "normal" ones, but tbh it's valuable to practice all kinds of poses, not just polish up your ability to do standing or walking figures.

There's not enough value. Right now it looks like you purely got the local color down. Establish a lighting scheme (day/night/dawn/dusk) and then match your lights and darks accordingly. What you need is to add some darker darks and some lighter lights. Usually your lights would look mostly warm, as warm colors pop towards you, and your cooler colors will be your shadows, as cooler colors recede. Practice on a Chiaroscuro ball for best results.

It's ok if you have the hands and stuff blurred, but right now you have two points of focus; the face and the tip of the gun are both sharp.
Blur the tip of the gun to match the blurriness of the arms. The image will flow better that way.
Your values are a bit muddy, try to avoid shading with pure black. Other than that it looks pretty ok, though obviously I don't have the reference at hand to compare them directly. Keep working on it.

Pick a direction for the light and stick to it!
The anatomy is off in some places as well, I understand you're not going for 100% realistic but you could benefit from looking a bit deeper into facial muscles and such.
Your range of value is very good though, there are light brights and dark darks, good job.

When you draw, try to imagine unfolding your figure so that their limbs are straight - are they the appropriate length? Does the height of the person reflect the size of the arms/legs/head? Try more dynamic perspectives, really push it and see how it effects the figure and the proportions.

In the meantime, watch those legs - they're outta whack.

Paint is about the push-pull of the medium against itself - that creates the line, form, color, all that. It helps to draw it out first; there is no ctrl+z with a real canvas!

I might be wrong but it looks like you're slapping the paint on in really thick layers. Try a gentler approach, when you're working traditionally you don't have as much freedom as working digitally. Make a detailed sketch, plan out your colors, work slowly and have the layers of paint dry before each new layer.
I can't make out what kind of paints you're using now but if it's oils or acrylics I can give you a few pointers if you want. If it's guache or tempera then you'd be better off asking someone else, because I don't have much experience with those.

Looks a lot better. To avoid catastrophes like your first attempt pay closer attention to the centre line, always be aware of it and always refer to it to align the features. Right now you need to fix that chin, you've got way to much contrast going on and its ruining your picture. Try to understand the eyes as well, they have depth and form to them, dont just draw these weird fishes like most people do, draw the eyelids as they wrap around the eye, try to understand how the flesh wraps around the ball and how the eyes are sunk into the eye socket.

Atmospheric perspective. Learn what it is and use it. Looks very flat because you've spent more time on the background than on the foreground, things closer to you should have a higher contrast (values, sharpness and detail) than wherever is in the distance. This will help bring focus towards the front of the picture and establish depth.

biggest problem seems to be that you aren't getting the value ranges right. Your lights on the mountains are too blown out, not the same value and hue as the ref. Second biggest problem is that you aren't analyzing the ref but just paint what you think should be there. You add blue hues to areas that receive warm bounced light from the ground.

The guideline "warm lights - cool shadows" does not mean you have to add blue into every shadow plane when there is warm light. If the shadow plane faces the ground, it doesn't receive any cool light from the sky.

Use water to thin out the paint. Acrylic paints are very versatile and fun, and they dry fast so there are no long waiting times involved.
Start out with thinner paint, sketch out your image, then start blocking in the colors.
If you work on canvas(like you should) you can also wash off a lot of the paint with water and rags and stuff. On paper it's obviously gonna damage the paper though.
Try out stuff like sponges for spreading thin paint on large surfaces.
Don't pile on 747594568 layers of think paint or it'll eventually chip/peel off like dry glue.
Arcylics are kinda dull and a tad lifeless on their own(ie. they don't have a natural sheen to them), but you can work with oils directly on top of the acrylics (but not the other way around) or you can look into different varnishes for a shinier, richer finish.

You should work more with the plains and structure of the face. At the moment your making everything very muddy and round, while he has a very clear structure to his face. The beard also has a lot of character that your just not catching at all.

A bit better, yes! You should soften some of your shadows though, the one on the nose between the eyes, and the ones under the eyebags.

Unless you want him to look like a neantherdal of course.

Looking good mate. You might want to add texture to the face too though, it looks a bit plastic-y compared to the rest of the image now. Other than that there are a lot of just tiny little things you could still tweak if you're a perfectionist like me. The bridge of the nose is missing the bulge on the right side, the shadows around his eyes aren't warm enough, his nostril shape doesn't match the ref, the lines on his face need to be sharper, the hue of his shirt is completely different, the shadow between his eyebrows is too dark. Lots of small things. Overall it's pretty good though, I really like the hair especially.

Your shading is very flat and lifeless. It seems like you pick one color that is a bit darker than the base color and only use that for shading. Technique like that only really works for cell-shading.
Pick out several colors for your shadows. I personally have anything from 3 to 10 different hues I use, plus I blend and mix them to create entirely new colors.
Read up on color theory and on light and shadows, and apply the information to your work.

Are you using a reference? If not, you should be.

Your lighting direction doesn't make sense due to various inconsistencies.The top of the cheek and bottom eyelid imply a source from below. The brow ridge and top of the eye socket imply a source from above. The sides of the nose each imply a source from the opposite side. Etc.

Your color choice for the skin is unusual, and not very believable. The cold lights give a cadaver-like impression. That coupled with the dead expression in the eyes produce an undesirable result. The browns in the skin feel too uniform and fake. Skin has a lot of subtle hue variation present. Link related:
http://pastebin.com/Xej070xx
Mind that this doesn't explain everything related to skin and color. You should be painting more from photos and life.

Your vanishing points are too close together, causing some visible distortion.

In your line drawing you didn't find the centerline of the vehicle correctly. If you have a rectangle in perspective, you can connect the corners to form an X, then draw a line from the center of that X to a vanishing point. This bisects the rectangle. Assuming you are mindful of what plane is represented by a rectangle, you can draw a vehicle that is symmetrical in perspective, instead of trying to eyeball it.

That's a fairly alien-looking hand there. Fingers are way too long compared to the palm.

You have a few unnecessary lines that flatten the piece in areas (folds of the stomach, knuckles, knee). Describe forms with value, not line.

Face is too big for the head. Head is too big for the body, but that might mostly be the legs being stumpy.

Where's your reference?

[Anonymous No.1480537]

>>1480367
Use a proper value range. I should be able to easily make out the piece from the thumbnail alone.

[Anonymous No.1480540]

>>1480346
Work on edge control. Some elements have much harder brush strokes than they need (clouds, cloth).

There's a lot of uniform visual noise that makes the piece hard to discern, and in fact was impossible to discern from the thumbnail. Simplify your values where possible, and use some sort of value massing. The big shapes in the painting should be readable from afar.

I'm currently learning how to draw digitally. I got my tablet roughly a month ago. I'm using corel painter 12.

Those colors are an eyesore. Do some master copies to learn how to use color with more restraint and proper variety.

You also need to work on your values, so I'd do a few black and white still lifes before the master copies.

Do you have a steady hand when working with traditional media?

This gets posted around a lot, but you should do the Peter Han exercises. They're not essential to make smooth strokes, but they'll get you to that point faster.

Why is the Tau wearing Ork armour?

Cute, though. I almost thought they were minis based on the thumbnail, although the bases are too thin.

[Anonymous No.1480609]

>>1480457
Yeah, what this anon said. Also vary line thickness. The cheek would have benefited from a lost-and-found kind of line, it'd have assisted with the highlight too.

Pretty much finished. Gonna add the final touch tomorrow.

It's a fairly nice likeness (though I'm sure his nose is bigger than that), although it's pretty much line art at the moment. If you're going to shade, don't be half-assed.

I really like the little cartoons, the main character on the left is way to muddied (use harder brush to block in then work in gradients) Also try not to use pure blacks but varying grays for different values.

But those cartoons made me lol, I love them keep up the good work!

This is, theoretically speaking, my first time drawing in perspective (which I should've gotten around to a long time ago). Anyways, do the guide the lines have to be congruent? Does the boat have any errors?

[Anonymous No.1480723]

>>1480711
The vanishing points are too close together, and should be much further apart.

Right now you'd have some extreme distortion at the front of the boat, but you didn't follow the guidelines for that part anyway.

If you haven't already, read Perspective Made Easy. It takes an afternoon to complete, but will teach you most of everything you need for 1 and 2 point perspective.

I'll keep that in mind, Thanks for the tips. I usually work in an assortment of desaturated purples when "painting", to be sure never to have pure black or white. I happened to get lazy and just started sketching with the airbrush tool at about 20-40% opacity, at about 3.5 brush size. I originally just sketched the outline, but then tried to add some detail/value later on. However that is no excuse for my folly, and I"ll get to value studying.

>>1480699
Thank you for the kind words. It was my first time trying to draw cute/cartoon characters, so knowing they came out alright is a big moral boost.

Give the folds on clothing more variety
It looks like the same crease is being repeated, especially in the legs
Look more at how clothes fold in relation to body posture

not him

both. shoulders are looking crazy bowed back. no idea where his butt is. legs are too long. back is too long. neck is wonky.

on top of that you put the rippled clothing lines on everything. if you're using a reference draw what you see, don't draw what you think should be there because of cool clothing ripples. less is more with clothing volume too, imply shit instead of making it stark with a bunch of lines

I think the biggest problem is that it looks really flat. The perspective isnt really clear either and things are all over the place.

The waterfall also looks strange because its out of perspective with everything else

I can see you are using some atmospheric perspective, but maybe desaturate some of your colors to push back some parts, especially the trees and the building. also everything looks way overtextured, I'd simplify some of your values,

Right now since everything is so overworked there isn't a clear focal point.

I like the colors a lot, but right now it just looks like a photo collage of a million different things.

[Anonymous No.1480798]

The far left foreground is too hazy
I get that this is meant to be out of focus but its done too sudden and looks like a filter
