oh... I'll be honest it wasn't at all my intention. I tried to mimic a artificial, doll like expression. The anime version of metropolis was the inspiration but now I see what you are saying.

Going to minimize the "cartoony" look. I too find the eyes kinda strange but couldn't quite get why.

I worked in publishing and was trained professionally in color correction. You won't get near accuracy in scans without dropping some serious coin on monitor/scanner/printer calibration software and hardware, and understanding how to use it. It's a lot better and cheaper these days, it cost us about $50k to get there in the late 90s. We could match a painting to the monitor to the print, and it accurately predicted what would happen on the press. Bare minimum you'll need a good desktop scanner, a good monitor calibration device, an IT8 target, and software that can create an ICC target file for your scanner. Or, scan in an image with whatever you have, and adjust the image on a corrected monitor - if you know how. As you've found, it's harder than it looks.

Thanks guys. No I don't have a blog I'm too retarded for that.

>>3268676

I can do color correction alright with some fidgeting and masking, but the problem I have is the scanner picking up smooth blends and really light colors. In the scans they come out as harder transitions and light greys. It's really frustrating, I have a marker that is totally useless because it gets blown out by the scanner.

I'm working on the design for the protagonist of a game I'm working on, but can't decide on what to make for the torso. Most of the settings will be in temperate to cold areas so I want something that is covering, but still sexy. I was thinking maybe some sort of half-tunic that ends just below the bust with a close-fitting shirt underneath it that covers the midriff, and then duplicating the puffed clothing and wrapping combo on the legs for the shoulders and arms.

I'd appreciate a redline with any ideas you all may have. If this belongs in the beginners thread let me know and I'll move there.

I'm impressed by the bottle and glass, and I like the random illustration. What did you use for that?

Haven't got much to critique, except that the text on the charcoal ("chow" or something) goes straight, and shouldn't it wrap around the bottle?

For the illustration, I just used graphite and pen & ink. The ink I used in some spots as a wash.

I see what you mean about the bottle's text. I just added it because the professor suggested it right at the end of class, so it's just tacked on.

I did record my process before and there are older videos up on my YT channel but they're not very representative of this style. And never did a tutorial of some sort, I always feel like my process isn't refined enough so I'm kinda insecure about it.

If you can't draw a proper background, don't draw any. You could make the pic 10x better by adding a white border around everything. The composition of the background is also ruining everything. You have used the objects in the bg as a mean to fill space, that's wrong. You don't do that. You should put a lot of crap in the bg, then make the foreground stand out. The way it is now, anyone can tell you first drew the foreground characters, then you put something at the right, something at the left, and something in the middle. It's not really "behind" so it's distracting. And there's so few objects in the bg that they have more focus than they should. If you want to draw a proper bg, fill the whole thing with random objects. Does it sound like a pain in the ass and a lot of effort? Yes. It is. That's why: draw a proper background, or don't bother.

It's a tough balance but some subtle warmer bounce light would really sell the cool direct light. The blue shadows on his clothing don't make a lot of sense. Instead of changing your colors all together it would be a very good idea to remove the color from your shadows on his shirt. Instead: make the shadows darker with just the slightest tinge of red or orange bounce light.

I recently started drawing again by following YouTube tutorials.

I'm personally not really happy with the hair and how the ear turned out.

Any tips?

Turn off all correction made by your scanner software. What you want is just a dump of the sensor into a file. You'll find your blown out values that way, but you'll have to correct the file by hand, which is a challenge if you don't know what you're doing. Scanner software on most desktop scanners is pure shit, that does color cast correction for photos, not art, and applies blur and sharpening and fucks the values up, to look pleasing as a photo.

Also, depends on your scanner, too. Most of the built in ones in scanner/printer combos are shit. A $25 Epson Perfection V600 is entry level to me, it's a semi-decent scanner that can also be used with some of the 3rd party scan software, and also can create a sensor dump that' worth working with.

The problem I have is I work on big paper. It's hard to find a dedicated scanner that will take 11x17. Right now I'm using a Brother wideformat All-In-One. I've gotten the best results scanning with Windows Fax and Scan, but it's still a bitch.

I have no problem buying an additional scanner solely for color it's just hard to find the right one. I'm probably better off photographing my shit.

ive definitely walked out of figure drawing sessions early because the model was bad, or I was bored drawing them

if you can't tell the difference from a live model and a photograph you haven't done it enough, and your drawings aren't advanced enough to notice the difference anyways.

thank you for your comment.
I had a similar feeling with the background, especially nagging as it doesn't really feel like a living atelier.
with that I wanted to approach the drawing from scratch, no photo plate or anything, so it means putting everything in perspective. but then drawing a bunch of random crap on many planes is really a pain, and I don't have the skills to make it work by just winging it. thus what I ended with.

>The way it is now, anyone can tell you first drew the foreground characters, then you put something at the right
also, I'm not sure if it was you who commented last time, but it seems that every time there's some assumption about my process. It's not what I did. I tried many setups, moving things on my sketch and testing different frames before deciding on that arrangement.
I don't mean the end result is not bad, or that I don't make shitty decisions, just that it's not what I did, and I find weird that you would make such assumptions.

im not sure if your going for an oversized sweater, the shape of it i dont find appealing, i toned it down and added larg folds where the elbow bents to make it look oversized i guess. highlights in the blood makes it look like slime so i removed those i always add more shadows to the blood and use highlights sparingly. light hitting from above added dropshadows, made values stronger also added sparkly things and highlights to hair. hands could use work, the bandage doesn't look like its wrapping around it. i like the face especially the eyes its nice! oh i also removed the ear it looks out of place to me. haven't criticized anything here in a while hope this helps!

Maybe add a night stand with a few objects that communicate the character of the room itself. Somethings that describe the purpose of the room. Is a hotel? Is it he character's living quarters? Use the details of the room as an opportunity to answer those questions. Even something as simple as a design on the carpet can help.

Needs a bit more value contrast/variance. Also, be more careful and design the shadow shapes to extenuate the form. And if you want to keep a white background, I would limit how much of the white of the paper is actually visible in the figure. Establish a tonal range (1 to 10 value scale) and render accordingly.

I've been figure drawing and drawing from photos for about 7 years and I can assert that the difference isn't huge. Both have their pros and cons.

The level of detail is much higher with a live model, which is useful for long, detailed studies, but means nothing if doing gestures, which is what most people do.

You sort of get a better sense of the 3D form in space, which is good in general, but the effect is minor.

I haven't gone to live figure drawing in a while, especially not in the winter

Photos
-Model doesn't move.
-Take breaks when you want to.
-Pose can last however long you want.
-If you take your own photos you can mix ref, get the most perfect shot, etc.
- I don't have to go somewhere or pay money.

Live model
- More of a sense of 3D form.
- More detail.
- No weird camera distortions.
- Forced time constraint can be useful.
- Interaction with other people can be good.

Yeah that's the part that makes her neck look snapped. I'm dogshit at explaining why her neck looks broken, so I'll just say that yes you need to fix the hair on her right. It's swooping down in such a way that implies her neck is severely miss placed. Just show more of her neck on her right and have her hair swoop over her shoulder a little higher up. I'd do a redline but I don't have a tablet.

If I remember, and if you can wait till tomorrow night I can go to work do a quick paint over and then upload it after work (can't post on 4chan from work)

What you do in 3 minutes I do in 1, anon. It's good but keep going at it and try to pick up speed and specifics from the model.

>>3273142
One of the great points of figure drawing is that it forces you to pick up speed and the details that make a model identifiable. When you look at what OP does in 15-20, sure the rendering is good but there's nothing that can identify the model as what she actually looks like, it's a "generic attractive female form" model.

I didn't mind getting the old dudes, soyboys and fat tumblrites in live modelling class. I always groan a bit but in the end it has proven useful to expand the catalogue of bodies I'm able to draw.

Also it looks like they're going into the animals instead of coming out of them because you didn't change the size of them. It looks like she's dipping her feet in the wolves mouth rather than dramatically crawling out of it. A lot of that has to do with the lack of drama in their poses too. The atmosphere of the piece is pretty bland, and the characters don't seem like they have any emotions about what's going on.

Digital is digital. It's not a "crutch". That implies people are using it to trick people into thinking it's something it's not, or that the artist secretly wants to do traditional but is hiding it. Some digital artists just like doing digital art... they aren't ashamed of it. Most artists do a little bit of everything anyways. I'm sure there were artists who thought painting was a crutch, and sculpture was the only true art form, but turns out both are fine.

I think digital is still too new to declare it anything. Maybe in ten years it'll be considered a drawing medium like pencils or a painting medium like oils or maybe someone will find something you can do in digital that sets it apart from other visual mediums.

Personally I think digital art needs to be gamified. There needs to be some way to "play" digital art. I think innovation in the medium is more reliant on the software available than the artists making it. The tools themselves are more the art than the artist. Kind of the same with video games. The game is the artwork, and the player is more a participant, like a person in a museum viewing a painting. You didn't make the painting, but you are a vital part of the artistic process just by looking at it. Kind of the same with digital artwork. What you make in the program is almost secondary to the program itself.

Digital doesn't belong on this board, much less to be considered 'art'. The mere fact that you can undo any of it or save it etc means the programs ARE A FUCKING CRUTCH.
For my portrait, I had to painstakingly draw sketches, prepare a final drawing, smooth and level a LITHO STONE, and recreate the drawing, chemically etch it over DAYS, and print it. Digital is just for limp wrist fags who can't handle what it takes to actually experiment and failed repeatedly before creating something truly amazing.

What drawing software are you using?

There are some good custom brush packs for Sai and Sai 2. I can't remember where I got mine, but there's a particularly good brush that mimics a pencil. I just use it for inking, but I don't see why you couldn't do shading with it as well.

Yeah, a lot of my work is pretty derivative, not gonna lie. It's hard because the reason I got so into his art in the first place was because I loved drawing that kind of subject matter to begin with. I need to come up with my own story/comic thing to work on and get creative with.

Anyway, I'm calling this one done, I think. In the future I definitely need to work on creating more interesting interiors.

By derivative, I meant to shamelessly copy something without bringing anything of your own passion into the work. If the artist is heavily influenced by JG (Jean Giraud) and writes stories about the same things that JG did, then what's the point? I'd rather just read JG, and many others will view your work the same, with apathy. That's why I said that the thing that this guy could bring that is new could be in regard to the subject matter. If you're a fan of say, the Ghost In The Shell manga, I'd advise against copying both the "style" and subject of the manga. Because at that point you're just trying to fix something that isn't broken. You can do what you want, but if you want people to take you seriously then you should try to do these two things. A) Have a wide array of influences. This is so that, once brought together into one "style" there is no obvious B-line from your work to a particular singular artist (i.e ripping someone's work off). This also helps making your work both interesting and familiar at the same time. And B) try not to retread the same topics as the most recognized of your influences. This way you are forced to solve problems that your influences may have never made solutions for. This way, again, your work becomes interesting and at the end of the day a more fulfilling enterprise for both the artist and the audience.

And the difference doesn't even have to be massive. Just a slight deviation can do what I've said. But you have to remember that it's not the fact that you, a unique individual, created a thing that makes the thing unique just by the act of creating it. There is a certain level of effort that has to go into creating that makes something worth while. If, that's what you want to do.

The thing is, and I've had to learn this too, is that you don't necessarily have to craft a grand narrative to give "character" to your work. And if you haven't made a habit of making comics already, and instead are more inclined to single illustrations, then I'd hold back on doing a comic just yet. Because you can, and probably will overwhelm yourself with it. I would say to just start thinking more about the purpose of what you're drawing. An image by itself can tell a story. It can illicit an emotional response without one as well. But the guiding light should always be what the purpose is for the picture itself. This thinking also helps in comics too, because how else can you manage the flow from panel to panel? Or chapter to chapter? Just start being more conscious of the purpose and character of one image first, and how details implies those things.

It's been a while since I scanned on a windows box, but iirc, I got good results using open source scanning software when I did. Likely even better now. I liked that it was a little faster to scan and I could tweak the options much more. Also I could stop the scan mid run, change some settings and go again. I want to say it was SANE I was using, but you might just want to look for what's out there now. Most scanning software is really dumbed down, you can get much closer to what you want from your hardware when your software lets you ask for it.

What is she sitting on? what part of her body is flattened by her own body weight? Is she reclining on a bed, sitting on a couch with her legs on the surface as well? Try to start with even simply a horizon line and a cube before you draw your figures, otherwise you run into those issues. You look like you don't know where to put the leg that's further from the viewer but since I don't understand what she's sitting on it's hard to help.

I just painted the background with a textured flat brush (had a default grey background and started painting with white and grey back and forth a little bit), but sometimes I also literally have a canvas texture in Overlay mode that I actually didn't use this time.
The brush is from Ahmed Aldoori's brushset, it's called Brush Tool Hard Eliptical 193 (apparently). The set is for free on his gumroad.

It has a collage feel to it because of the difference in rendering between the face and hair. The face is slightly blurry and has a narrower value range. I think you could take a brush with a bit of texture and work on both areas to make the picture more homogeneous. The drawing is neat though.

i draw plein air as well. the whole point of that, even in sketches, is to sink into the drawing and feel the material you are hinting at. sorry, but i don't get anything out of your drawing. where did you draw that? are you spanish, portugese, french? i'd advise you to use different hatchings and try to support the shape of the thing you are giving shades with hatching (the waves, the cliffs etc) instead of just "making it a bit darker".
i like the contour of the clouds, but what you did in the left part and above the horizon is just a bit worthless to the whole thing. try working with charcoal, it's way more painterly and gives you the option to create flat generalized spots as well as sharp, thick gestural lines for details.

I can give serious crit... You should have used a mirror to check the symmetry of the face as you drew it. The thumb sticking out at the bottom is annoying compositionally. The markmaking in the fabric is often really random and unconsidered, and I'd say you're overdoing the wrinkles.

I see what you mean and generally agree with that crit - straight-forward, if a bit harsh, but that's what I like about the anonymity. I didn't get what I was intending to go for out of this print. eventually, i would have liked to give a strong emphasis on the face, which was brighter in the reference and somewhat very geometric in nature. the wrinkles came out way too dark. i was working directly on the stone without pre-sketching and from a small reference. our workshop instructor had prepared a wash for the ink and we couldn't know how much to use, as it was mixed with some solvent by accident. not trying to weasel out of it now, but it was kind of not ideal to work in there.

lol, oookaaay.
i do a lot of drawings outside, so much that i put my focus this year on doing landscapes. maybe you see or memorize more out of your sketch than others can see in it. afterall, you made it and your memory of the scenery is more vivid in your mind. btw, i have no problem with landscapes being "romantic". you make it sound like it's a bad thing. or do you want to become an artist in the tradition of formalism?

I think it's good for a study, and it will be pretty useful. Only bad part is the mechanical hatching on the little cliffs, it doesn;t convey useful info like the hatching on the waves does, for instance. Compositionally, perhaps you could show a bit more of the hill on the right, placing the peak closer to 2/3 position.

I didn't trace it though, I used Pureref to constantly look at the reference picture and extremely autistic amounts of measuring back and forth. I do agree on the fact that it looks like shit, and I would greatly appreciate it if your criticism, even if destructive, would at least address the reasons why it looks like shit. But this is /ic/ so excuse me if I'm asking too much.
