[Anonymous No.1989557]

>>1989513
Well the image is really washed out feeling with your current values. The suit is a dirty grey and there are no dark values anywhere. Personally I like black suits--they seem to be just more intimidating and have more of a presence.

Also you don't need to worry about rendering it all out, a simple indication of things is enough most of the time, especially when the local value is dark. You can keep the suit almost one value then knock in a few subtle highlights.

Do some Van Gogh studies if this is the way you want to go, this is a wreck. I'd recommend you work on your ability to depict form, as well- the direction of your brushstrokes aren't working with the subject.
At least clean your brushes more thoroughly when you switch colors.

a place in ct that does it 3 times a week. fridays is a 5 hour session, mondays and wednesdays are 3 hours and short poses.

It's good to have variety. If you only do short poses or only long poses you will be stunted in your growth. Each teaches different lessons about drawing (and complement each other).

When I used to ink with brushes and shitty ink some of the lines had sort of a fading look to them, but when I scanned my images in black and white only at 300-600 dpi that wasn't a problem anymore. And you can always clean up some of the lines in photoshop. I'm not saying you shouldn't wait for better tools, but you can always work your way around that kinda stuff.

If you really want your inks to look nice, get a good sable brush.

I'd recommend a windsor newton series 7. They're pricey, but very worth it, as long as you maintain them. Get the master's brush soap: http://www.amazon.com/General-Pencil-Company-Masters-Preserver/dp/B0009RRT9Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1424486709&sr=8-1&keywords=master+brush+cleaner

This shit is like magic. it can even bring brushes back from the dead. anyway hope this helps. If you want to see the best inkers in action, look up artists like sean murphy on youtube and you can see them draw in real time

Is she supposed to look sickly and grey? Aim for smoother transitions especially on rounded surfaces like her cheeks.

You're jumping from shadows to highlight too rapidly. There's not enough midtone. As a result,
her hair looks like it has chunks of white/grey instead of dark green.

I use more saturated colors as shadows and gradually add highlights using slightly desaturated colors. I didn't use layer modes for this, but its worth experimenting for more color variation.

Pure white and pure black is saved for lighting situations like in attached. Harsh, one source.
Skin tones are tricky, since it can have so many different hues at once. You'll know how to handle skin better by doing more studies and observation.

you're using the same texture to describe everything. the horns, feathers, skin... it's all the same thing.

experiment with using different shapes as your textures. short parallel lines, long parellel lines, dots, criss crossing lines, circles. really sit down and learn what you're preferences for every kind of texture look like ( everyone draws parellel lines differently), rather than just jumping into studies.

FWIW I only had an hour to finish it but yeah I suppose I could have done something else, I'm still slow as fuck.

As for >>1990759, the first thing I notice is that they seem to be in very different planes (dog appears to be in a 100% frontal plane while the girl is more affected by the perspective since both are very near, it seems a bit odd).

I would draw the dog's back body in a way that match the relative vanishing points of the girl.

Her skirt seem to be a bit hairy and plain in its upper area, I think it would look better with less folds and more value variation to add volume.

Everything else seems fine, I especially like the dog expression.

okay but aside from "get better" is this a good direction to go in / technique to try to master? underpainting in loose patches of color and then over top of it doing thick brushstrokes. is that something people want to see more of? i mean getting good at that is better than spending my time painting abstract shapes right?

Yeah, more or less.
But three levels of thread would be neat. The first for beginners, focused on tips and how to's.

what is your main focus here? to show 2 dudes in cool suits?
where does the left dude looking? the other guy is looking at him or they both see something behind their back. if so there is nothing on the background to draw attention and you makes us see only 2 dudes with no purpose
would be interesting if you make a clue of something emerging from that cave/hole the front guy is looking at it while the other stays as he is now. that will draw some curiosity from the viewer on what will happen with that guy... like will he get eaten or some shit

The redline is complete shit but i tried to mark things to help you understand what I'm saying

- The sand isn't interesting at all since it has basically no texture and it takes most of the painting therefore most of the painting is not interesting
- You have three contesting Focal Points the building in the back, the dude and the stone tablets
- You might make get away with the three FPs but the composition is bad, The sand on the sides leads off the painting with nothing to stop the eye bleeding off the painting
and most of it actually leads to the small dune in the middle making it the place where the focal point should be, yet there is nothing there making the viewer confused now

Never done this airbrush/marker tool shading style before. Usually I just go for the cartoony 1 shade deeper style. Don't know if I'm doing it decently or not or how I can improve the piece.


I've done all I'm going to with the outline and anatomy now its about the shading and extra's

I think about that more In next one. I had one of the most stupidest realization in the end of the painting related to that.

Thanks, I figured me out that by pushing myself to the edge as much as I can is what I end up learning the most from. The critique I get then is what I need to work on. I think someone else said it here on /ic/ and I tried it out.

it does really looks like the guy in the front is looking at the other gut, his face seems to be in more of a side view
also where is the light coming from? i would put a light in the helmet so they are illumionated from below.
also if that on top of his backpack is a light it should be kinds glowing depending on how strong it is
And maybe some details? but its just a wip i guess

I like that kind of rendering! Got a tumblr?

IMO the initial sketch had a better composition and overall dynamic going on than your rendered stuff. It looks kinda boring now

Absolute gold. Really something people need to take to heart more instead of mindlessly doing studies over and over.
