well i disagree. when i look at that sculpture, renamed by me, 'slut slutting it up. redux.' and compare it to the dignity (with no loss of sexiness) of actual greek depictions of venus it's like idk, looking at a flashlight compared to the sun or something. where's the divine proportion and the skin-light finish, the careful consideration of skin and muscle. no no, it's a sexy woman i'll grant you, and a good ornament, but definitely falls about a million miles short of what it could be.

now just to be clear, i'm not saying it's like deviantart sonics or something, it's a very good work of craftsmanship, just a terrible work of art. ... like a transformers movie.

[Anonymous No.1977618]

>>1977613
I see what you're saying. Do you have any recommendations for sculptors to study from?

[Anonymous No.1977644]

>>1977618
i know after my diatribe it might seem a bit hypocritical, but if you're just studying for drawing. trying to get the 3dness and stuff any sculpture will do. if you want soft transitions go someone soft, maybe idk bernini or someone like that, if you want harder stuff, but still want it to be people then rodin is i think the best hands down.

a good motif to study is the three graces, i think. unfortunately newer ones tend to turn it into laughinggirls.jpg instead of the classic pose, which is most useful.

if you want to study sculpture to understand the aesthetic principles and stuff, that's a whole other massive kettle of fish.

if, when you're drawing you also want to be thinking about anatomy and all this, not just the chiaroscuro and such then you should really look through the works of the masters and try to find ones where you think to yourself 'i can really picture how that skin is stretched over a rib' like where the illusion is so complete that you can't really wrap your head around there not being a rib under there. male statues are best for that.

sorry for another long post, when i should be working i suddenly become long winded, funny that.

Painting from life and master studies will teach you a ton. The biggest tip I have is to pay attention to color temperature shifts, and to utilize grays where ever possible.

[Anonymous No.1978613]

Could you elaborate more on the master studies and utilizing grays?

[Anonymous No.1978631]

Looking good guys. Keep up the work!

[Anonymous No.1978638]

>>1978613
>Master studies
Basically go out and find master paintings and study their use of color. Artrenewal.org is a great place to start, as they even have a list of the 100 or so most popular artists in their database. Focus on big, general color shapes and relationships first, then go in further to analyze the smaller color shapes and relationships.

>Utilizing grays
If you have a cool color (blue) and you want to make it warmer, instead of trying to shift the hue, try shifting mostly the saturation. The reverse is true as well: if you gray a warm color (red) it will become cooler. Using grays is a way to shift for example an orange to a blue without going through the adjacent colors on the color wheel. In short, making a color more or less gray is an easy and often useful way to relay temperature shifts in color.

Using grays smartly will allow your richer colors to pop without having to make them garishly saturated. The contrast in saturation makes things pop, and many times you don't need many different saturated colors.

[Anonymous No.1978644]

>>1978638
Thank you very much

[Anonymous No.1978645]

>>1978613
>>1978638
And to further clarify:
In most cases when you shift the temperature you will end up adjusting the hue a bit, the saturation a bit, and the value a bit. Some times you can accomplish the temperature shift you want mostly through saturation control, but there are also other times where predominantly a hue shift will work better. It's something that takes some experience and deliberate choices to get used to, but master studies and painting from life will help you internalize both realistic and aesthetic color relationships.

[Anonymous No.1978862]

>>1978851
Spend only a fraction of your time doing paintings for fun, but keep your studies and practice exclusively drawing.

If you have issues with polishing turds, then don't allow yourself the liberty of bringing any of these paintings for fun to completion. Stay zoomed out - far more zoomed out than what you might be used to. Get it to a stage where it's as good as you can get it without zooming in, and call it done. That way you get to still have the fun of painting while minimizing the potential time-wasting aspects of it.

[Anonymous No.1978863]

[Anonymous No.1978903]

>>1978863
Well a lot of the principals of painting remain the same whether you're using traditional paints or if you're digitally painting. I assumed that "polished turds" implied working digitally, as you don't really have the freedom to constantly refine a traditional painting without having to scrape off what you laid down before. It's a lot more like starting over rather than refining and tweaking indefinitely.

For the 'zoomed out' suggestion, an analog with traditional paints would be to use exclusively larger brushes and possibly a smaller canvas.

>>1978638
Thank you for this information, could you tell me/show me a picture where this technique is being sucessfully applied?, i'd like to get a better idea of the end result of using grays.

[Anonymous No.1979042]

>>1979018
This is one of the prototypical examples that come to mind. Take this picture and open it up in photoshop. Eyedrop every color you see. You'll find that every color shown has nearly the exact same hue. The variance in saturation, pulling colors closer to gray, has a cooling effect. The eyes seem blue, even though they're not. If you were to try to paint those eyes with a literal blue pigment, they might appear garish or inconsistent with the overall lighting.

[Anonymous No.1979047]

>>1979018
>>1979042
You also see it a lot in figure paintings, usually when cool lights are involved, or if there's a clear distinction between light and shadow color temperature as you often have outdoors on a sunny day.

This one has some true blue pigments, but a lot of the cooler shades you see here are still reds in hue - just subdued towards gray. Use the eyedropper to confirm.

One of the key ideas is when you want to cool a warm color (orange for example), graying it out will often suffice. If that new cool shade of desaturated orange needs to be further cooled, then you can now incorporate a sudden and strong hue shift. You might have something like a medium saturation orange cooled to a low saturation orange, then that low saturation orange cooled to a low saturation blue/purple.

Basically, using grays allows you finer control over color temperature while keeping your palette relatively consistent. Once you're in the grays you can now make a sharp hue jump, but it won't appear that way to the viewer because you're going from a grayed orange to a grayed blue.

Here's another example of grays used well in the skin. Notice how rich her ear seems in color. Now eyedrop that and see how close to gray it actually is. It appears vibrant because the surrounding skin is even further into the grays. The background is rich and warm, and this saturation contrast makes the head pop even without a lot of value contrast.

In fact, the skin overall is largely neutral towards the light side of the value scale - there aren't any real bright brights, but it still works very well because of how strong the control is over subtle color and value changes.

If you eyedrop parts of the skin, you'll find grayed hues that are even green and purple! Not what you'd typically think of as believable skin color. If the rest of the environment is handled correctly to give an illusion of a certain temperature for the primary and ambient light sources, then it will read correctly and believably. Color is all about getting the relationships correct, and not necessary the absolute color used. Using grays to their full advantage helps a lot.

I guess the main point is to not think of gray as one end of a spectrum from dull to rich color. Instead, think of it as an intermediate between two separate color scales. Your rich blue gets progressively desaturated until you reach the grayed blues, those grayed blues transition to grayed oranges (or any other color you want), and from there become increasingly saturated until you reach a rich orange.

[Anonymous No.1979065]

>>1979018
And another tip:

When dealing grays, you often have to incorporate much more drastic hue shifts than you might be accustomed to. This is why you have purples, greens, reds, etc all in the grays of this portrait >>1979059 , but in the end it all looks harmonious and close together. When you're painting something high in saturation, you don't have the same liberty in terms of adjusting hue without it looking like a change in local color or a change in light source.

[Anonymous No.1980421]

>>1980160
Dunno. Try to consider the value range of your media. If you can't get a strong black like in the reference you need to move the 'value scale' of your drawing back. I.e. the darkest you can go with your pencil should be applied to the darkest area of the photo.

Try to keep a strong light/shadow separation. Reflected light in the shadows should not be confused with halftones of the light side; (i.e. the reflected light in the shadow should not be lighter than the halftone of the light side. )

It is a good idea to consider reflected light as a part of the shadow. This helps form read better as well.

For lines I would say practice with various ball-point pens and pigment pens. You will eventually get the skill to achieve better lines, when you want them. You could also focus especially on line and forget about value, or vice versa for practicing value. This will make practice more efficient and the results of your studies will reflect the focus of thinking.

Lastly, for traditional its easy to make mistakes and not be able to fix them, especially with ink. So don't be afraid to start another drawing because you see a big mistake you made, your process was incorrect/lazy, or there's something you think you can do better. When doing digital it's as simple as starting another layer when you want to correct something, but this is not the case for traditional, so keep that in mind.

Here you can see me with a poor first attempt, a better second attempt, and a side-attempt that failed miserably.

one of the reasons it looks so drab in comparison is that the effect you are applying give a hint of saturation between the midtones making the shade variation more appealing.
Also saturate a bit between shade.
Not sure how realistic it is but it tends to make the eye happy

thanks for the advice, i get what you're trying to say, I'll make sure I harmonize my brushstrokes completely.

[Anonymous No.1981682]

I like how the thumb looks... but up close it's all meh.

How can I make the brushstrokes work with me and not against me?

[@Benjamin_Seng No.1981905]

Try capturing the form with the brush, paint like your adding color to a mold of the image not a plane surface.
try layering different stroke directions within the same stroke line.
Just a couple ideas, good luck Anon.

Not that anon but whats the difference between copying and study? How do you know you're doing one from the other?

[Anonymous No.1985813]

>>1985801
generally copying is when you just look at where the tones are and try to put them in the same place with the same shape in your copy.

studying is where you interpret the subject and work out why that tone is there and what the underlying structure and design is.

in the olden days when copying paintings was actually an industry in itself copying included the definition of studying above. after-all if you're trying to copy paintings as quickly as possible it's better just to work out how the artist does things and do 'em that way yourself instead of trying to make everything exactly the same.

[Anonymous No.1985815]

>>1985801
I suppose copying is about treating the flat image as a texture instead of a photograph of a three dimensional shape in a lit environment.

[Anonymous No.1985819]

>>1985813
So copying is just putting down what you see, not really knowing why it looks like that but put it down anyway cause it looks pretty while studying is trying to figure out why it looks that way (ie: figure out the simple shapes, blocking in and then to more complex details as per perspective/proportion/form/etc) using learned knowledge and not just eye-balling it?

[Anonymous No.1985828]
