If by finished, you mean "I don't want to keep working on it", then maybe.

But it looks far from finished, at least to everyone else. Leaving everything blurry and undefined does not come across as painterly and expressive but rather incomplete and lazy.

I recommend rendering out parts of his hair, his face (including beard) and the fur around his face.

Very rough but heres how I'd approach the idea, your canvas has a lot of empty space on the right.

You could try push the perspective, bring the viewer closer to the soldier, and throw in maybe a prop or something in the foreground to add more story. Centre the angel for impact+symbolism and try carry the viewer from the foreground to it. Keep the horizon low on the canvas to make the viewer feel smaller.

love the colors and brushstrokes, it starts great.

[Anonymous No.2682299]

>>2682252
Much better. Remember that contrast creates a focal point, not just in contrast of values but in detail as well. If everything is blurry, then there is no real focus. By giving the face more detail you've created a order of priority in the drawing, where the face in now clearly the most important feature.

From here on out though, I'd really recommend toning down the blur filters. Implied detail is harder to do than simply making everything very soft.

I'd recommend even rendering it a little bit further, especially in the snow & fur around his face. Learning to render something to competition is an important skill - if all your work is simply implied detail and blurry shapes, then there's never any focus.

Hope this all makes sense. Good luck!

All the lighting effects have awful values, imo. You have fire in the midtones, that foggy/overcast sky which is really dark but has an intense red color (which doesn't impact the environment significantly), and a ton of sss/translucency on the dragon's wings which are brighter than any possible lightsource in the environment (this shouldn't happen). Lastly, the smoke is brighter than the fire itself, which shouldn't happen.

The base colors used to paint the environment and figures on their own are quite palatable imo (besides the sky), it's really just a matter of what's been painted on top looking unrealistic.

Lots of proportion errors to be honest. I did a quick draw over to fix things, they may be a bit off still but it's closer at least.

I didn't bother changing the pose, but if he was walking his shoulders and hips should be twisted a bit so the his right hip is forward a bit as his right leg steps forward, and then his left shoulder would be coming forward as his left arm swings forward.

I actually drew the ground plane at the very end, and I included it just to make him feel a bit more solid like he is standing in perspective instead of floating in ambiguity.

1st, what program are you in.
2nd, apply some perspective, and work in greyscale so you can get a sense of values in a landscape piece before you move to color.

The composition is also lacking anything interesting to look at the is sitting off to both sides and not really drawing the eye around/through the image. so i'd look at some of your favorite landscapes and try to see what they do to guide you through the image.

You should look at some of the techniques they teach in force dynamic life drawing. Could make your figures look more intresting. In addition i think your figures would look better if you focused less on the superficial muscle protrusions and focused more on showcasing the volumes of the hips, torso, legs and arms interlocking, Bridgeman is a good source to learn about that i found.

Pretty neat, but I can see this further improved with the use of a darker background. Though your hunter looks very cooler, he looks pretty flat right now. Even a square would do well to divide up the planes (if a little cliche), hell, you could get a little playful with it and perhaps add a colored rectangle. Also very much what >>2683536 said.


>>2683505
It's looking a bit more solid from last time, though you got a little less ambitious with the face it would appear. The left plane of her face is a little bit flat, but that's neither here nor there. I kind of want to see you attempt the smile!

Also, keep in mind that too much saturation in both foreground and background elements can flatten out an image. I'd pull pack the fish in the background a smidgen. Maybe add a few desaturated colors as an overlay, making it a slightly darker value.

>>2683526
I have nothing to say about this. It's far too cool.

>>2683529
Hmmmm... interesting. Weird proportions aside, I see what you're trying to do. You've taken liberty in using a darker background, and used lighter values to define your center of focus, but be very careful. Establish your value key first before jumping into something like this.

Yeah, im not very subtle with my key value distribution. Mainly because it strongly frames the figure.I think it could be better done with more key values now when you say it.

I used to work this way quite a bit when I followed and tried to emulate Anthony Jones. But we all know that can of worms on the deck years ago.

I'd also recommend softening up some of those edges. What do you think would be softest? How does the overall darkness effect your figure? What do edges do you think would be soft receding back into the shadow, and what would be hard emerging from the shadow?

>>2683561
It's a decent pencil drawing but it seems to lack the structure of shadow in the face and neck areas. It suffers from a very ambiguous set of values.as a result making the hair decent, but the face more or less flat by comparison. The structure of the face could use some work, but hey, that could be said for all of us!

All in all, keep at it. Really try to map out the planes and contours of the face next time and keep in mind the structure of shadow.

It's not particularly often that people post in traditional, I think that's pretty cool. There's this guy on Deviantart called Funkymonkey or something or other... he has some pretty awesome tutorials on traditional that I think you might like.

This is really smudgy and ambiguous structure-wise, and the features are not in the correct perspective. I find that simplifying the way I think about the head also helps in drawing it correctly. Usually this means treating it in simple planes. It will be easier to light it and easier to draw in the correct placement of things. The easiest way is to envision the head as an egg, and then use that as a base to put the features on and to light it. Hope that helps a bit!

There's a clash of a lot of things going on here. Aside from the obvious, everything from the lineweight, to the color choices, to the change abrupt change in style from right to left, It's almost as if you had a lot of things in mind but couldn't decide on any one thing.

I think that's the most important change that needs to happen here in order to make this at the very least a cohesive image.

That's very helpful. Yeah I can see now that the different techniques I used don't match and look like a weird collage. I thought the color was somewhat coherent though.

Working on this one at the same time, I can see that your critique would apply to this one as well. I can't make a decision about linework, drawing is the hardest for me.

Alright, yeah that's fine. I was a little thrown off. I just thought it was kind of flat, but you seem to work with analogous colors and at this stage is kind of flattens out.

Seeing a complete piece shows that you have a set style. Kind of a strange amalgam of vector, cel-shading, and collage. I kind of dig it.

Now, if there's one thing in the previous piece that stands out to me, it's the linework. You colored the lines on the people blue to differentiate them from the environment, this was a conscious decision... What's going on with the rest of the piece? It's interesting no doubt.

I'd recomend coloring your lines to better represent materials. Like that glass window is the perfect opportunity to play with some dull hues to make it seem as if we're looking through a window.

THhe lineweight is another issue entirely, but I think you can get away with it.

I can see how my techniques don't blend though. I can fix this and I'll try to color my linework as you recomended, if I don't decide to remove it entirely.

>Edge basics 101:
There is a scale of edges, just as there is a scale of values. It goes from hard>firm>soft>lost. Just as with value, you can use the whole scale in one picture or just a piece of it. The careful manipulation of edges is one of the most overlooked, but most important, tools an artist can use to create form, atmosphere, and believability.

In general, edges are:
Harder in the light, softer in the shadow
Harder in bright light, softer in dim light
Harder in focused light, softer in diffused light
Harder in the foreground, softer in the background
Harder on smooth forms, softer on textured forms
Harder on hard forms, softer on soft forms (Duh, but really)
Harder on flat forms, softer on rounded forms
Harder on thin forms, softer on thick forms
Harder on still forms, softer on forms in motion (on moving forms they are harder on the leading edge and softer on the trailing edge)
Harder at the center of interest, softer as you move away

The above are additive. So a kitten, far away, in the dark, would be really soft.

Of course, any of these guidelines can be ignored/modified for pictorial effect.

Another wip of this, I don't really know how to finish it, I feel like her vest ends too abruptly but I can't think of anything to cover it with.

I have some ideas for the bg but I don't feel like it's polished enough to throw them in yet.

Work in progress. I should have tilted the angle of the guy sohe's not directly in front of the viewer.

The fish are nice and colorful, but the face is so badly constructed, it just looks weird and unappealing... Find your self some references to look at, cause you're seriously polishing a turd at the moment!

This is unrelated, but does anyone know what it means when you try to exaggerate the human body but you don't do it 'well' so it just looks incorrect and nothing but?

Hey Anon,

Don't get discouraged.

I think your rendering and colors are actually not bad at all.

The idea and composition isn't too bad.

I think you are struggling with your piece because your initial construction.

I find that the most common cause for bad construction is because of a perspective or anatomy (anatomy related proportion) issue.

Try re-drawing this again from scratch,
BUT make sure you draw a HORIZON line first and also establish a vanishing point on the page for the far left one and make the right perspective point about 2-3 inches off the page to the right.

I drew up a kind of my take on yours.
It's rushed, and I also threw in the idea of a reflection.

Feel free to use this for whatever you want, and hope it helps a bit.

It's a neat image, there's not a whole lot wrong with it, all it NEEDS imo is some more variation in saturation and value.

[Anonymous No.2686792]

On the straight viewed body and torso you made it too wide, and the heads too small. On the heads you make the cranium too large. There's some other smaller errors in thins too, I just did a quick draw over to show some of it, not sure how clear I made myself though.

Can I get a style critique on this?

new thred pls

add more wrinkles

>>2686729
that arm doesn't look so foreshortened

>>2686807
Are you attempting to ref a movie or somethng?
Also what kind of style are you trying to achieve?
Looks like a western comic book;
but the artists there tend to keep contrast to a minimum, favoring soft brushes more then the hard edged ones along with more minimal amount of planes of the face. If you don't want to achieve that style, then at least explain what "style" you're trying to do.

[Anonymous No.2686854]

>>2686833
Something like this, but using the colors of the actual shot.

[le maester trolle xd No.2686876]

>>2686854
Broader planes of the the face (thuse using a more smaller, more simpler pallete) and instead of round brush lines, they use intricate specs to indicate pores

Also your lighting is fucking everywhere man. Looks like the main light source is at the back from the left, but shouldn't the arm pointing the gun cast a shadow on his thigh?

[Anonymous No.2686893]

>>2686876
Well, with the lighting, I was following my ref. It's a hot desert, with an overcast sky. So while the light source is behind them, there seems to be a lot of reflected light, just from looking at how the shadows form.

Anyway, I don't wanna oversimplify the palette, as when I did that,it looked too much like a comic book. I liked the wide array in colors and values. I didn't actually much like the look of it in until I started to add more and more varied colors.

Do you recon I should perhaps go I to it and further define the different shapes and forms with a smaller brush? Just from looking at it, it feels a bit incomplete

>when I did that,it looked too much like a comic book
Then avoid pure blacks and instead color it as a very dark shade of blue/purple.

Stavanger is a nice place, I visited there last summer. The text works for what it is. The facebook link at the bottom looks kind of bad as its half on half off the light yellow background fill. You could also use the fb logo so people will recognize it easier at a glance.

Using "@" admittedly looks sloppy.

the people are complaining about the face are just spouting the memes without knowing what they're talking about. anyone with a brain could see its intentional, I think it feels feel a little flat though. do with this what you will

[Getting back into drawing No.2689182]

>>2688933
to answer your question : more portrait studies, photostudies of faces, and most importantly, 1) learn how face muscles work from a book 2) draw young people from life to get a good feel of how a face naturally wrinkles and the various expressions it can adopt.
remember, there are always slight wrinkles, lines and creases on a face when there is an expression, even on a young and pretty one! even a blank face will have slight (or not so slight) circles under eyes. it is a very elaborate form where a lot comes into play and you can't just color it as you would color a sphere unless you aim for stylisation. from your piece i can see that you lack knowledge of planes and muscles of the face which always makes for uncanny valley type results
