Whaddo ya guise think of the composition? The design details are still totally open.

[Anonymous No.2701078]

>>2701075
The values look really nice right now but if I'm going to be picky I'd say that the left side is heavier than the right side. This makes sense because you have darker values on the left side and the creature on the right side is flying so it naturally looks lighter.

What's stick guy at the bottom left meant to do? Is he the handler of that dragon? He and his platform kinda get lost in the shape of the dragon.

Aye, thanks. I referenced a cock fight image for the monster thingy on the right side so he's definitely much lighter and more dynamic than the other thingy (mostly from shittiy imagination).

>>2701079

I don't really know yet. Maybe It's gonna be a handler or a wizard or a queen or something. I need to give them a glowing staff or lantern or some shit so they stand out from the background tho. You're right.

I think the scene needs some people for scale. Obviously my stick figures are fucking hideous at this stage but I think I might be able to make them into fleshed out characters somehow...

My first drawing in 5 years how'd I do

[Anonymous No.2701184]

>>2701162
Its pretty easy desu. For the nebula kind of thing I use soft sandpaper to get a thin powder of pastel and smudge it like fingerpainting. Then for the solid bits i did the same but then instead of smudging it I use a piece plastic (stuff you get when you unwrap a dvd) place it on top and push it into the paper so it keeps its shape. You just have to remember with pastel, as soon as you do something you like, seal it with something so you dont smudge it off, I use hairspray.

seriously though, besides your obvious skill, your very textural brushes work pretty well -- even if sometimes you lay more towards messiness/laziness (though it may only be for studies where you may think you had already studied /achieved what you wanted, I'm not in your head)

I'd have two questions, if you're kind enough to answer them.
1. Did you start painting from traditional? Or simply from an understanding/liking of traditional medium?
2. Did you do your brush yourself, adapt your style to the brush, looked for a texture like this, something else?

[Anonymous No.2701459]

>>2701440
I started out traditional(wet on wet acrylics). I became familiar with how paint is applied and how to manipulate it. Simply just cohering traditional with digital eventually.

Style is something I can't help. It'll expose itself doesn't matter what tools you use. The brush adapts to the style of the artist.

[Anonymous No.2701462]

>>2701459
hmm, that sounds like traditional artist/politician answer, like you're just regurgitating preprocessed sound bites.
Is it because you don't want to answer, or rather because you're not able to articulate your mental process?
Given the general weakness of artists on the technical/scientific front I would assume it's the second?

I wasnt criticizing just wondering if there was a reason.

[Anonymous No.2701672]

painted this. was going for a light surrealism effect. decided to make the "painting" a slightly abstracted version rather than just doing two still lifes. i might do another one where both images in the painting are the same a la picasso's bulls where the canvas in the painting is just slightly different. The difference would come from me just being bad at copying. that might look cool.

You're blowing out your highlight everywhere, and using a big soft brush. Try to paint with a harder brush to keep your shapes proper, and then keep in mind the values of the object you paint. Not every highlight is pure white.

[Anonymous No.2701822]

>>2701802
The drawbacks of sight size are betraying you at the moment. You messed up the structure of the head pretty bad because you are just copying 2d shapes instead of analyzing the forms themselves, and many areas like the hair are not reading correctly and the highlights are not descriptive in the same way as the original. I also feel you're so focused on blending everything perfectly that you are bulldozing over genuine structure and subtleties in it.

I think it's good that you are taking your time on this and observing the values closely, but I think it's dangerous to your long term development to continue to use sight size in the future.

You're painting everything the exact same way. Like if you look at the clouds and compare it to the tree on the left, the shapes used and brushstrokes are identical, the only difference in the colour. Try to think how to play up the difference between them...how can you paint a cloud so it feels like a giant floating mountain in the distance? What type of cloud is it--will it be soft and fluffy or more of a wispy look? How about the tree--how do the leaves tend to group together in that species? Ask yourself questions about each aspect in the image. You need to paint the grass to look like grass and be painted differently than the bush next to it. The grass in the foreground will be painted with a different size brush and with a different amount of detail than the grass 300 meters away. You will see less texture in the distant mountains than in the ground by your feet. Try to get as much variety in the way you paint things as you can or else it will look very flat and monotonous and boring.

It's really hard to write crits for any of these. Only thing I can say without shitposting is: STUDY.

You don't seem to have a basic grasp on composition, anatomy, shading or medium. I can see that you have passion and some great ideas that you want to get on paper but they're so poorly executed that I (the viewer) can't get a grasp of what you're going for at all.

Look at the people whom you admire and try to study their style and also study from life. Don't just copy things. Try to understand them. Do a couple of studies about something and try to draw them from different angles. Basic stuff... I really can't say much more.

Keep on rocking...

>>2702380
I think you're the same guy I did a paintover for the other day as well where I talked about contrasts, and I think you have the same issues here. Hope you don't mind another paintover.

I find the background really distracting with the crazy colours and strong contrasts there, and it takes away from the impact of the head. I would be extra careful with those intense reds as they make the shadows on the face look very cold and dead/muddy because of colour relativity. If you quiet down the background you then have a chance to work with the contrasts within the face, and can correct things like the colour temperature and the upper lip being too dark and too sharp.

Otherwise I just changed the size of the face compared to the skull and did some noodling on top of the face to blend out some edges, remove some highlights, define some other edges, added some shoulders so the head feels solid and in context instead of floating in empty space, etc

The wolf anatomy is weird, as though he has no neck at all. I also find it strange that the man is wearing plate armour yet the wolf could eat right through his breast plate like that. It would make more sense if he wore different armour or maybe the wolf was eating an area like the neck which may have been more vulnerable (you would still need to change the armour a bit for that but it's plausible).

It might look cool if you could see the wolf's breath too in the cold air.

All that said, you should work on your fundies hard core. I suggest studying the bone structure first. Just spend a few days drawing simplistic renditions of a full skeleton to get proportion down. Before you start working with muscles make sure you know the underlying structure they are attached to!

[Anonymous No.2702424]

>>2702410
I was worried that I changed the model to be more like the "correct" proportions and may have lost some of the personality and specifics of what she actually looked like, so it is a relief to hear the likeness is improved somehow.

As for getting to my "level", well I've been painting digitally for years and years now, so it's just mileage I suppose. I've studied to a greater or lesser degree most methods of head construction, and have done many studies of photos, many master copies, and a decent amount of life drawing. I've also got an Asaro head on my desk at all times and a mirror to check my face in, and have done tons and tons of self portraits.

You're actually much better at traditional painting than I am, I have very little experience with oils and acrylics and struggle to control it, but when I work digital I have control so can do quick edits easily like this. I think I have a reasonable understanding of the head, which as I mentioned is mostly from mileage, sorry if that feels like a cop-out answer. One thing I did do though is I really tried to think of the forms and not ever "hide" things, like notice in the paintover I defined the bottom plane of the nose with bounce like, I put in the nostril, I made sure the case shadow was a separate colour and placed there with a hard edge...I'm thinking of the form in detail instead of just grouping it into a single solid shape that doesn't describe it. Thinking fully of the form there helps a lot, and I'm talking about applying this idea everywhere, not just in small areas like that.

The contrasts thing I mention is an idea that I became really aware of after watching Craig Mullins' Gnomon video and reading his Sijun notes, and then studying looking carefully at his art to see how he applied those ideas.

color, lines, basically everything look very pro.
what's a bit more lagging behind is your drafting skill, since the whole thing look a bit too flat, like it hasn't been constructed in 3D.
In your case I would thus say to work on meme-loomis is really what you need.

And as you said, It was supposed to be illustration. i drew that because of small local art competition. after submission, text was added. but it really obstructed general composition so I just faded it. ;(

I think you gotta break out of your perspective a bit. It's way too easy to see the building boxes that make up your composition. There's nothing that sticks out of these buildings, anything like extensions, broken off pieces, clutter (crates, junk, etc.) I think it's particularly obvious on the blue-ish buildings visible in the mid-ground; they're basically tetris blocks with windows painted on top.

There's a lot of other things you gotta work on (colors, rendering, shadows) but I think what I mentioned above might not be as obvious but equally important for painting environments.

Funny image man! I think the "glow" from the light there extends too far. You can get away with doing a very small amount of glow around light sources and have them read well if your values are accurate and if you show the influence of the light on the rest of the scene. I also think you can push the contrast a bit more, I did a quick overpaint showing some of this, hopefully it helps.

Don't worry, setup is fine.
To the useful stuff... Colors are pretty okay. It's good that you didn't rely on the photo's fucked up colors. However you don't really use the lightning information, which is really a bad idea. Study more carefully the values of the picture, make things shine and light reflect.

Construction is really wonky. The opening of the bottle is not centered, the ellipse of the glass is completely fucked up, etc, so the whole doesn't stand up. Try actually building the thing correctly, place a VP and use ellipse tool to guide you (in real life there are ellipse guides too)

is worth noting that robertson's rule of thumb for finding the minor axis only works at the very center of view, everywhere else it becomes somehow incorrect.

if you plan drawing architecture or complex machinery, a 3d model works much better, and is way easier to do than using those archaic ellipse templates

I guess just get more variety in them. Painting from life will help with that as it will reveal a lot more information about the materials, textures, and colour variations. When working from photos you have to exaggerate some things based on your knowledge or else it won't look all that great. At the moment all your materials sort of look the same for example, and the brushwork you are doing is rather monotonous too.

[Anonymous No.2704670]

I mean that the value pattern is not good. It's all muddy and middle tones. Try to get a nice pattern of lights and darks that flow through the image. It should read clearly and be interesting from thumbnail, but yours is messy and unreadable at a small size. Considering that it's a sunny day and you have a lot of white objects (clouds, foam, the sail) you are missing a lot of the high key values. Take a look at people like Dean Cornwell, NC Wyeth, or maybe for a contemporary person someone like Jon Foster and see how they set up flow in their images through value grouping.

The reason you're not getting a whole lot of advice is because you are at point where there is no easy way to pinpoint your "problem" there are simply too many things you don't know and have to learn before we can sum up in a few sentences how to fix this or that or improve this or that aspect. You just need to work on your fundamentals. That means, dont' spend time trying to make masterpieces. You'll simply get frustrated and hate what you make. Start broad and narrow things down as you go. Study certain cornerstones of illustration: human anatomy, values etc. Those really are two of the most important things you can ever learn.

You have the potential to be good, don't waste it by trying the easy way. Seriously learn to draw.

[Anonymous No.2705591]

>>2705585
Hmm, thanks. I did add the neck and background as more of an afterthought just to 'complete' the picture, I suppose it is quite a big gap compared to the face.

[Anonymous No.2705613]

>>2705572
Adding to what >>2705585 said, in this particular picture, it takes a decent amount of focusing to actually discern what's going on. The girl's skirt almost looks a part of the monster's leg, her hair blends into its upper arm and the broom's position doesn't make sense in relation to the legs.

Her left leg is severed at the hip as her thigh has separated from the body and is warped facing inwards.

This is my first time sitting down and sketching/drawing in general in over a year.
Its all awful but the belly buttons are pissing me off.
Want to get back into this shit, but this is really discouraging.

[Anonymous No.2705701]

Tried tracing over some faces since last time, and tried to compare them to the ones I had made (lowered keystone and made the brow and eyes smaller).

You're using a strange construction. I think the eye socket area is weird looking and the skull, especially zygomatic area and the temporal line, are not well represented. Maybe try to model it closer after the Asaro head.

>>2705385
You're values are still off. The whites in the ref are whiter and the blacks are blacker. What I usually do when studying a photo is I try to remember that things look darker or lighter in the context of their surroundings. So in your grey background which is lighter than the background in the ref you're more likely to make things brighter, which is what you did.

Aside from that it looks like you still need to learn to see colors correctly, Her skin isn't orange. It's more of a crimson color moving toward greyish pink.

whats with those fucked brushstrokes man? the colors arent even bad and the brushtstrokes just mess it up
also why is there a dark area around the sun? that should be the brighest point

[Anonymous No.2705893]

>>2705879
i usually do pretty eratic brushstrokes to get an uneven texture so i can paint a layer on top of it that is less expressive and more textural.

[Anonymous No.2705898]

>>2705879
on second thought maybe for this one ill try a wash of the colors i want on top of these colors, then do the texture on top of that layer.

Care to elaborate on your process and on how you study? Do you use a lot of reference or can you wing it by now? I'm sorry if it it's too much to ask but I'm just curious.

[Anonymous No.2705975]

Frumpy, thank you again for the tip about the background. As soon as I darkened it I could see I'd been correcting the values based on the background's value.

Colors are still tough, unfortunately, but I'm adding in those darker reds and pink hues to try and fix my mistakes.

I like the added ship (if that's the right term) in the far background, ads some perspective and depth. Not to sure about the guy in the midground... Perhaps move him a tiny bit further back (or ditch him) Incredible designs and rendering, tho!

[Anonymous No.2706033]

can someone explain me what´s "chromatic aberration" ? i mean, the drawing is in greytones and to me tries to emulate a cheesy old picture, i understand the effort of the artist on this one i guess, and i respect him after the critiques of some "chromatic aberration". Hope someone gets my point and explain that to me.

It means that the color channels aren't lined up properly. It's actually a thing in photography that happens when the lens is misaligned I think, in any case it's usually very undesired but for some reason has become a trend in digital art.

THis does look a lot better, rendering wise too. But >>2705855 is right. It's usually best to apply what you've learned from the ground up in a new picture than trying to gerry rig fixes into a picture you started previously. This picture is good enough Time to move on!

>>2705866
This all looks pretty nice but the intensity of the brush strokes in the sky is distracting. The repetition is neat however there is just too much contrast between strokes so much so that you don't get a tangible transition from ground to air. They feel as though they're one and the same which is conflicting with what our eyes are trained to want to see. I dont' really know what your'e going for though so do what you want aah

Thanks!
process : nothing unusual. rough sketch, and sketch, and line art... coloring... etc. not much to say about process.

study : frankly i seldom "study". I just mindlessly draw and draw. female anatomy, military, and so on. brute force a lot of images. just croquis. endless croquis. I download every image I see when I'm surfing internet and draw them.

reference : I do use reference. because i can't remember how scuba diving gears and guns, bags looks. I have poor memory. same thing goes to anatomy. but I avoid just copying one ref image into drawing. I gather many refs categorized by arm, leg, body... and combine them into one pose.
