Hey, guys.

Just "finished" this one for a sketch request...

I've recently started to aim towards semi-realism (I hope that I can actually draw in the long run, as of now it's a lot of references and copying...)

And I'd like to know if you guys have any advice.

I'm open to being torn apart.

>>1712039
You could do with more variation in your line weight, use the thickness of the lines to show form or shadow or lead the eye where you want it to go. Check out Mel Milton for sweet lines like that, ignore the different style and learn what you can of the technique, pic related. I also second the anon complaining about the hands, and point out that even if those are just lay-ins for where the finished hand will go later, it's way way too small. Maybe you find itty bitty hands cute, whatever, but they shouldn't be freakishly small. There's some problems with other placements like the ear pushing too far forward, neck too long, far side of face too thick for this angle, but you will learn more by finding these yourself and then fixing them. Usually a good idea to look back at a drawing the next day and consciously measure and double-check things in your head to see what lines up and what is off. Keep at it anon.

Yeah, I've read it.

I've improved on hands a lot lately, but I really need to get them right. The proportions, construction and all. that's coming with practice.

The character had the hair over her eye originally, I'm pretty confident in my skeletons.
I had cleaned up most obvious guidelines, but you might be able to see some in the hair.

>>1712065
Yes! Even now, I notice things I could totally improve on.
I chickenscratch horribly, my confidence drawing lines on a tablet is very low.
Thanks for the reference. I can use anything like that these days, I'm afraid.

Thanks, the both of you.

If this is a sketch for an environment before moving onto a final piece then it looks fine to me.

If this is the actual piece I find it rather boring, especially the composition. But that's not exactly critique, just my opinion and for that, I'm sorry.

Let me try again:

Seems awfully bright for what light you are showing coming in. That opening seems to be very distant from the viewpoint and there aren't really other visible sources of bright light out side of the torches on the pillars and the chandelier, both of which seem like they wouldn't exactly flood the area with light. I mean your table basically vanishes into the distance it's so long...

oh and also the foot

if you are going to rely on styled inks and crosshatching you have little to no room to slip up because the eyes are drawn to imperfections when you use this technique.
the line work has some confidence to it but you are "joining" your long strokes and that shit pops out.

also reshearch "tangents"

Because it's translucent, has a different inner color than the outer one, is different thickess and texture depending on the bodypart or even section of a bodypart, is different depending on age and individual, varies depending on the person's health/lifestyle... But still we've looked at skin all our lives, we know exactly what looks like skin and what doesn't.

To be honest, not really good :/
The composition is really boring.
If you changed the viewing angle to be more from ground level you would have a better feeling of depth.
At this point in time you shouldn't use a brush with lowered opacity, it just makes your drawing look messy :/

eyes r cartoony. nose long as fuck. nose also symbol like, same with eyes. crazy contracted pupils which would only make sense if a flashlight was in her face, and since theres shading i assume there is not.

your shading in general makes no sense. is there one light source? 2? 3???

Face seems round on right side while other side seems a bit lop sided one side is bigger than the other, the nose is too narrow and straight. I do like the hair though. Avoid adding red like that on the nose unless the person is sick or in a cold environment.
Or odd sunburnt.

Really digging the style you are developing, painting itself looks good. the few thing distracting to me is the weird drop shadow from the hand. I'd get rid of it entirely - hard shadows don't seem to go well with the rest of the piece. Other than that, the overall mid-dark greys value range prevents the character from 'popping out'

It's an improvement over your first.

The composition still seems a bit off, though not as drastically.

I'd suggest finding all of the hard edges, and draw out a line along it and off the page for each edge. Then see what kind of shapes you've got left, and how that looks to you.

The main issue I'm seeing is a lot of diagonals from the bottom left towards the top in the clouds, the cliff, and the wall top. There's only one diagonal that leads out towards the upper left, and that's in the cliff edge which curves to follow the horizon.

I'd think if instead of having the wall rise up you had it drop down or stuck an opening in there somewhere it'd help draw the eye towards the upper left where you've got those clouds. Just an idea though, up to you if that actually works or not.

actually no. although you do have a point in that any practice is better than no practice, choosing bad references will only waste your time because you're not effectively learning anything from the "study".

It looks like he is standing on the ground reaching up at something horizontal rather than hanging from baloons.
I tilted the guy to get more of a hanging. rotated the hand so it looks more like he is holding the balloons.
made the canvas taller so that the balloons could get further away from him.
Scattered the balloons a bit so the aren't just a big blob.
And and put some clouds down at the bottom to cover that strange blue gradiant, and to create more of a foreground.

It's a cute idea and i like it a lot tho

well i think you captured the mood pretty well. but you can see you didn't push up into those whiter shades of pale. you should be able to see that sort of thing even without the reference. you subconsciously ask yourself 'does this pop enough?' remember that you are making your own image and you have to evaluate it on it's own merits too.

stop thinking/advising that "chicken scratching" is bad
using lots of lines helps you figure out your preferred proportions and gives you a sense of weight especially in digital media, you can always erase the unnecessary lines later
Sycra talks some sense about this, check him out

I'm sorry, but you'll have to ditch that and start again, maybe with something simpler
first, you shouldn't use black for shadow. Even if it's not 100% black, it's still too unsaturated for shadow. For starters , I'd advice more saturated shadows and less saturated highlight . you can try the opposite when you'r good.
and your brush work is very bad, please don't try to intimidate those swagger artist's chunky brush style, try simpler, use constructive form and simple planes.
and your edge controls, there are sharp lines and soft lines, together they can form a contrast composition.
and judging on your edge control for eyes, i'd say you have very bad knowledge on anatomy, please work on that first, even if you'r not planning to draw human, it'll help you alot.

i guess so, i'm really just drawing on intuition, heh.
After the rough draft is done, i don't really know what to do, and end up making it muddy by trying to render and improve the lighting.

I think the rim light makes it better though, why shouldn't i add that? If i wanted to make a "finished" painting one day, even though my current skill is as it is, shouldn't i do it as good as i am able?

I'm gonna find some tuts and refs then, and try again later, should have done that to begin with.

this.
it obviously looks a lot more careless because of the time taken, but it doesn't look as flat as before.
i think it gets the point across.
i also like the original better. but again, that's not the point.
the point being: the original does look a little flat. he tried to get color into the skin but neglected the values in some areas.

your design for the outfit is not really striking and that because, well, what is an outlaw peasant? because that doesn't strike me as a good arrangement, classically either you are a farmer and you don't need to be a criminal, or you're a criminal and you do cooler thing like stabbing old lady and what not.

or outlaw peasants are people that defy authority by farming, which immediately to interesting setting idea that could be reflected on the design. do they cultivate drug? do they secretly preserve the ancient forest from the mechanic empire? do they prepare tree to fight back against civilization?

Alright, beginner here finally getting around to fulfilling an old promise to myself to learn to draw some shit. After a couple of weeks with Loomis and others I'm making some progress, but I can't always tell where my issues lie. As soon as I fix a problem I immediately see the improvement, but I don't always see the problem, you know?

So would anyone be so kind as to point out glaring issues with these sketches (apart from the fucked up eye placement that I already noted on the one)? Just quick sketches from photo references. I'm mostly concerned with construction / anatomy right now, so there's really no shading and the hair is just scribbles.

The problem with Loomis is it oversimplifies the construction of the head. Loomis himself had intricate knowledge of all the anatomical features; for him a shere construction was an easy starting point.

Your problem is that you don't know the right proportions. Until you know them, you'll just be making educated guesses every time; your faces will be inconsistent and you'll never quite know what's wrong with your drawings.

I suggest doing studies from reference, but serious studies. Copy different views of the skull and head and PAY ATTENTION while you do so, noting the underlying structure. This is time well spent.

Alright, thanks for the input, I've just started reading some of Loomis' head book where he talks about the skeletal structure and proportions and things. I figured that was the direction I should be heading in, and I'll find some other resources in addition to Loomis.

I know I'm sounding a little butthurt, but this is just as much as an opinion, as I want a discussion . I like the value subtle, and grouped tightly together, say if you put value on a scale from 0 to 100, I generally never go pass 80 and below 20. why ? because I'd like traditional painting.
further more, value that span from 0 to 100 looks ridiculous. there is barely anything in real life, beside technology shit, got that black or white.
So no, I think adding any blacker value than I did, is a very common mistake for inexperienced people. especially for the iris.
That being said, hard contrast always ruin things. The more you observe and get jelly over better artists's works, the more you'll realize too many value is ridiculous.
at best you should have about 6 to 8 different main value in a painting

The ref is pretty interesting, still not as flat as you painted it though. And you missed out on some cool things like the way the highlights are very specular and greasy. I like the one by her eye that you missed. Anyways, I would just pay more attention to the subtleties in the ref, you missed a ton of things.

Also, just because the ref may be flat or lacking in areas, doesn't mean you need to copy those things into your painting.

yeah, like I said, it may have just been my horrible taste for highlights.

notice how the guy in ur painting is looking at you but the reference is looking offset to our left.

you are also using sharp edges when it should be gradational. skin diffuses light, unless it has oil on it, then it reflects.

also, your proportions are a lil off, and lips are fucked.

As I'm becoming more comfortable with anatomy, particularly musculature, I'm starting to draw stuff like this.

Read up on line weight and variety.
Just get a good solid black pen, some paper and practice setting long lines with your entire hand. Do concise and assertive swings. Then practice drawing ellipses, circles. Practice doing lines with equal spacings between them.

Bring these exercises to digital, then do opacity swings ( press hard and gradually lift the pen off the tablet as you do the swing, or do the opposite - ease into a hard stroke). There's tons of exercises you can for this kind of thing.

why the colors feels so dirty, i want a very clear and colorfull pallet,
are there any tutorials on how to aproach color and the aplication of it?

also, in general how are my values, proportions ...

>>	VC Fri Apr 25 14:18:49 2014 No.1713964 >>1713954 You're trying to blend with black, which generally is a bad idea. An option could be is to colorize the grey using hue/saturation adjustments, then paint on top of it. You can also use layer blending modes for brighter, more saturated results.

>>1713954

if you want good color generally don't try to colorize a greyscale painting, go right into it with color. But if you need to, paint heavily on top of it with opaque paint.

You dont have a clear light source in your drawing and the rimlights are wtf think about the materials.

here it is with some huehuehue/saturation
those are much better colors, but i think it looks unatural, is it just a matter of practice or something else?

i'd love to to jump into the colors, but i think is very hard for me, cause when i try to apply value to only color it became a mess.

Ease your way into color then. Instead of going grayscale>color filters or full blown color, try working with limited palettes. You need to start thinking about color relativity and color temperature. I suggest you paint a lot of still lifes in 'monochrome'. If you were doing it in oils, you'd want to make your palette from white, black, a cool red and a warm red (or blue or yellow). If you do this exercise digitally, make sure you actually vary the hue you decided to paint in.

Once you have a stronger grasp of warmer and cooler colors, expand your palette so that it's not quite as limited (gamut masking). Again, the focus is to learn to control and appreciate the subtleties of color. After you can paint decently with limited palettes, then you no longer need to limit your palette unless it's for a specific mood.

Gonna post up two drawings, mostly to see if there's anything I've missed from my own personal critique of my work.

My heads are pretty bad, so are my hands. My proportions are wonky. I don't understand shading very well.

Anything else or anything more specific? Doing a good figure drawing is still obviously out of reach for me but it was useful just to see how much farther I have to go and to see that I still need to work on a lot of stuff....

not too bad bruv. needed to use a bigger brush maybe..

you see no blending and no particular consideration of the brush strokes is what they call 'impressionistic'..impressionists painted that way because they were painting fast. so if you go that route you have to at least make it look like you painted your painting quickly.

yours doesn't look like that so it comes across a bit fiddly.

but still as i said, not too bad bruv.

i would suggest to study compositon of master art works etc... you want to have a focus on a certain subject(s) and should be the most detailed or finished. depending on how you approach it.

right now it''s best you play with ps or whatever and just get used to the medium. the refinement comes with time and practice.
