Oh, on second thought. I just looked at where the guy was in relation to the girl. The way the rocks are near the guy is probably not correct. They might be too small and abundant where he's stepping. Make the transition from large and broken up, to small and abundant much broader.

>>2297844
A little boring and generic, but still not that bad. The lightsaber looks a bit thin in the thumbnail and I think the eyes would reflect the red of it. Keep working on this image and try to get the value read a bit clearer--can you get some darker accents or areas? Group values better?

>>2297971
His hand (the lower one) looks all kinds of fucked up. Just redo it entirely.

Otherwise it's not bad. I would add more atmospheric perspective to really push the depth and also get a bit more separation between him and the background.

>>2297980
Resize your image next time to something less than 1k pixels on the long side. The gestures are okay but would be better if you simplified more effectively. Look for longer lines of action that run through the whole pose and figure out if you can emphasize the entire action better.

>>2297809
The other anon is right--the storytelling here is bad and the image is boring. You should have done more thumbnails initially. It's painted well, just not well conceived. Honestly it would probably be a stronger image if you removed the girl entirely, and then had the creepy dude just on his own and have him looking down at the fish and have the fire in front of him. Or instead maybe put that creepy fish dude much farther in the distance. Right now the relationship between them and the composition just doesn't feel quite right.

Ah yes, I remember seeing this in previous draw threads, looks real good! I like the kind of flat look everything has. My only concern is that the entire image is too dark, if you look at the thumbnail, nothing is clear. You could add a curves layer over top of everything to make it a little better.

You don't seem to struggle with perspective too much, but I'll point this out anyway: The horizon is always gonna be at the "horizon line". Their poses are more or less identical, so in this case her knees are "eye level" (on the horizon line) and so should his bee if they are the same height.

That actually wasn't me but I AM ME! I was all exited to show you guys how wrong you were about him being 10 feet tall. But I did some perspective tests and you were right.

>>2298708
So if that's coal. Apart from the fact that you painted it with a soft brush which betrays the roughness of coal, it's not awful. And the reason it's not awful is because coal is black, therefore when you shade coal or highlight it, the highlights are still going to be very dark. A lot of new artists think in order to shade something it must always go from 1 to 10 on the value scale. Not the case. So in this simple drawing of a piece of coal you have shown restraint which is respectable. Now: Ditch that shit soft brush and use a harder one. Don't rely too much on airbrushing. It's amateur. And remember to have fun!

Your drawings don't have a back side to them, they look like engravings. Try drawing transparently and imagine how the object would look while turning. Include lots of lost and found lines and overlapping lines. As soon as the eye sees a T shape it instantly reads it as an overlap.

Difference is the tits in the photo actually have mass and are affected by gravity, not some spherical giant orbs attached to her chest.
People who draw giant tits for the sake of giant tits always seem to draw them like they got implants. The fact that the guy seems to be too busy getting butthurt and defensive over some abrasiveness than actually considering it as critique doesn't help.

The drawing wasn't that good, I'm sorry, and calling people who said someone's (I'm presuming your) shit is shit doesn't magically make them angry at you or angry at all.
The anatomy is bad, she has no sign of ribs (besides that awful shape you inserted between her tits indicated with a LIGHTER value for god knows what reason), the painting is some of the worst I've seen on this board outside the beginner thread and looks like he slapped it on in literally sections with zero consideration. The linework is pretty shoddy. The lighting is unevenly applied. The values are shit. The size of the boobs, while feasible, just make it look like really bad smut because there was zero consideration to the actual weight of them and the failings of the actual painting and values gives it a lack of any real form and makes them look worse.

I'm going to stop arguing with you because you're either really dedicated to sucking this guy's dick or you're really dedicated to defending your own work and you're not going to listen to anybody, in which case it's a wonder why you bothered posting on a critique board. I don't fucking care if you think I'm being "too mean", I'm not shitposting, I'm not angry. I'm telling you/him what looks bad because it looks bad. If it looks good to you/him, that's cool, he can draw whatever he wants, but he shouldn't put it out there for opinions if he doesn't want someone's fucking opinion.

You don't need to trace, you need to learn anatomy.
Look at how proportionally big this woman is to her breasts. You kept the size of the breasts and roughly the size of the head/neck, and you gave her awfully thin and short arms, you broke her rib cage to the point it is as thick as her legs. You kinda kept the size of the hips, but you stretched her torso so much it's bizarrely long

Also, look at the model, look at how her breasts sag. Their lines almost conect in the middle, way higher than the bottom of the breasts, and than look at your drawing, and how you tried to make the breasts stiff, conecting them to the stomach.

Stop crying and go learn how to draw.

I'm pretty mediocre with my art right now, so take this observation with a grain of salt. You seem to be losing the volume of the face. I'm not sure if I was using the right term there, but the face is looking very flat. Besides that mouth and nose (which I think look pretty good) the rest of the face looks like its flat on a sheet or something. If it's not a stylistic choice I think a more pronounced core shadow could help maybe? Like a ball or something.

sorry to say this, but that picture really is boring.

Nothing detailed or exciting enough to draw or lead the eye, I feel like the eyes should be the focal point, but they're just flat and ugly (not sure if you rendered them yet or not). The bright light across the right side of her cheekbone screams for attention but is very plain to look at and leaves me wanting more.

Lighting is poorly executed as well, make sure to control your edges and don't be afraid to use a hard brush. This piece seems like it wants to be a portrait but the concrete ceiling or whatever that is doesnt really serve any purpose other than to further unbalance the image.
How is she holding that lightsaber? Based on the angle of the "blade" she's holding it close to her waist, but pointed upward which seems stiff and unnatural.

Sharpen and render the eyes, change the angle of the blade, remove the concrete, harden up some of your edges where the shadow falls on her face, soften that harsh highlight (unless you want her cheek to be the focus of the piece...) finish rendering her hood

I wanted to practice painting shiny things in this picture and I'm not good at implying detail with painterly strokes so I kindof have to paint everything with the same quality. So yeah. Hard round brush. Patience is a virtue.

THe sand was super simple. Because the sand is wet, that means it's shiny, and since it's all flat that means it's going to evenly reflect the sky color. THUS no matter what color I paint the sand, its' the reflection of the zombie guy that sells the reflective quality. Since reflections are always darker than what they're reflecting, I simply copied the zombie guy layer, flipped it, darkened it and then made it a clipping mask over the sand layer which I had previously blocked in. THen I just made another layer over the zombie guy's reflection and manually painted in the varying distortions.

I hate to say it but I think you should have put a bit more thought into this before going all out on the line art.

I just spent 10 minutes typing out all the things you should fix but that was long and convoluted. I'm going to set up my tablet and do a quick redline instead. brb

I wholely agree with >>2299433

I spend 90% of my time just copying pictures. To me it's a lot like cooking, I copy recipes that I like to make and develop a repertoire of dishes I can prepare. Sure they're not original, but who cares? Plus in the process of copying I learn skill sets that allow me to mix and match techniques with the things that I like, at which point I'm making things that are both original and high quality.

The need to be 'original' is sooo fucking overblown in the art world. I wouldn't even worry about that until one has damn near mastered fundamentals

The uni-dimensional nose really bothers me.
I think the face should follow the rest of the body. It would make the pose look way more natural. In any case the way he's looking now is not menacing at all, it seems awkward. Also the eyes seem to be of different sizes. Sorry for the english.

I'm not that op but holy shit, studies are a thing you're allowed to post here.Provide help or move along like literally everybody else.
I do agree that certain proportions are off-- the largest being the width of the shoulders and size of the ribcage. Something that could help is by paying more attention to angles and how they relate to each other. That's what I've been doing and it has been successful. Sorta in the same way you can use angles in math to find the approximate length of a triangle's sides. Break her down into angles and it should make studies more palatable.

Lads, I am really fucking salty right now. There was this digital art competition in my country for 14-18 y/o and these are the results. There were really good prizes (tablets, loudspeakers etc), which is why I also entered. I was pretty sure that I would at least get highlighted (I got highlighted last year and received third place two years ago).

I can understand the 1st and the 2nd place, they were pretty clever and original. The third one, the first image in the second row and the first image in the third row are a mystery to me, how are they better than any of the submitted pictures that didn't get any awards?
What was considered in the judging process was: the idea and originality, artistic standards, how well a picture correlated with the theme, using digital techniques well.

Am I delusional? Am I just angry that my painting didn't get an award? Please respond.

To be honest they're all pretty bad. Looks like they value the idea and how closely it fits the theme more than the technical skill used, but as I said before they all are fairly poorly conceived in my opinion and so there's not that large a gap between some of the ones that didn't get mention and those that did.

Also you should learn to not give too many shits about competitions. Maybe the prizes are nice, but in terms of actual value or recognition most are very meaningless.

From a distance the values look great, but when I look closer it looks there are many problems with the structure of the face. The shape of the nose seems overly simplified, and there's no midtones to communicate the shape of the nostrils. The eye looks wonky, if this is real media it's probably too late to revisit the line work, but if this is digital then I say do it. Also the chin looks too far forward, I'd have to see the source to say so confidently.

This is >>2300439

I think what you need to do to improve is work on micro adjustments to your line work in the earlier stages. Compare the angles and positions of your shapes against multiple reference points all over the picture; beyond that trust your eyes, take a step back and get a feel for what looks off and try to ask yourself what it is you're missing. Take pictures of your work, hold it up to the mirror to see it from different perspectives. With better line work the overall composition would go from average to outstanding

heh, maybe. I just used a basic brush with that last one. This one I used one with less flow I think.

>>2300401
>you don't even have blended yet

last thread I had someone freak out on me because I used a brush with opacity. So I did for fun try to not use anything. I sort of liked the retro effect.

But no matter what I do I'll get people who for some reason want to feel big by shitposting. So if people can't do a proper critique I see no other option than to dismiss them as properly being autistic retarded with an art aspect.

It's still barely halfway done - and then the background needs to be drawn. I feel like I need to fill in every spot with detail to make it not look "boring", but as for the composition, I was hoping that all the eyes staring you down would lead up to the top. Thanks for the critique m8

you want me to "mold" the shape? I'll keep it in mind.

If I had to give a reason to why I didn't it could had been because the brushes I've been using are pressure sensitive linked to their brush size. So if I just drew normally I would had ended up drawing outside the lines as the brush started growing. Guess I was lazy and just adapted. I really just wanted to practice picking the right contrasts.

That is of course assuming that was what you meant.

Look at this example. This is someone using a simple execution and flat values, no soft edges, just like you... But do you see that his convey the shape of a nose, an eye, a mouth etc... You barely understand what's beneath the skin. That's okay, none of us did starting out, but that's where you begin, see?
You also seem to be struggling with photoshop or whatever software you're using. If you're letting the lack of functionality (or rather the comprehension of it in this case) hamper you and dictate your workflow, then maybe you need to focus on getting that straightened out before hoping for any substantial help here.
Have you read the sticky? It's really useful actually.
I highly recommend that you go to ctrlpaint.com/library and start with with digital painting 101, and you'll have Matt Kohr, a real competent digital artist and teacher, going through the basics and how to use the tools.

Forgot to mention in the reply above. Guess you weren't talking about brush strokes. I see what you mean. I think it partly has to do with that I'm too reluctant to use big variations in the shade values that leads me to simplify it too much. I have compared some of my previous (speedpainting?) stuff to the sources after putting on a grey scale filter and the result was usually that my entire drawing was too white/didn't use anywhere the same ranges in values.
