Place is worse than ever, every thread is polluted by pointless drivel about pedo, coom art, who to take advice from, very little art and little critique. But hey, Mike said hi in the alt thread so it's not all bad.

Your drawing look competent in terms of rendering etc, but it's hard to tell what's going on, and it's hard to tell if the minimalistic approach was taken to hide flaws.
Maybe post something else?

Ah, so nothing changed, nice to know. I draw in a small format now because after reaching my peak and proving to myself that I could get good, I immediately lost all interest in huge projects that take tons of planning and effort. Now I just spew the ideas I have in my head as quickly as possible.
I'm not saying that I reached any proper level of mastery or something. Just a level that I was satisfied with.

But of course there are already retards sperging and crabs crabbing so it's hard to make a case.

I also like your 20 tank. Of course the 15 one is way more impressive, but I think both exist in different spheres.
It's not obvious to go from planning everything to being able to freehand such complex structures so good job.

There's no context or meaning to the drawing, I just scribbled some random shapes with my eyes closed and developed the idea from there. I'm a huge Half-Life 2 fanatic so that may have played a role.

[Anonymous No.4493409]

Neat. I think your drawing could benefit from adding some slight sunrays that could lead the viewer's eyes to the centipedes. It took me a while to see them to be honest.

>>4493372
Oh and this one is really good, keep it up! The contrast and balance of white/dark/gray areas are superb.
Any of you guys revisited your old drawings/ideas? I doodled the "smoke monster" from LOST at school before anybody knew what it actually was and how it looked, and some time before the train pic I suddenly found my textbook again and decided to draw the idea again. Sadly, I never finished the drawing because I lost it during moving, this is the only pic that's left. The penis is to make it unsettling and disgusting, not because I like robot dick

[Anonymous No.4493459]

It did make me thing of some Cthulhu thing, but since the top is very geometric it looks like it's man-made, so the mix is a bit weird.

>>4493466
It's flat because you don't have any occlusion shadow/lineweight? Also the weird shape of the body doesn't help.
Still, there's great lineart, nice shape design, with lots of personality so it would work great in a concept painting.

Learn how to blend with a hard round then you can graduate to soft round. Also learn when you need a hard edge and when you need a soft edge.

[Anonymous No.4495564]

>>4495536
Bro first off, your piece needs to progress as a whole. Why the fuck is the hair still not even blocked in while you're rendering other parts? Stop it that's bad habit.

Also, just erase the shit that's sticking out, like that crap coming out of the chin/neck. If you're painting all on one layer, then paint over that shit with the color next to it.

You could also just use masks and then you can never paint outside the lines.

simplify your thinking a bit and measure different shapes and their angles and compare them in your drawing. Youre at the stage where you need to abstract your studies a lot and decompose them to more simpler shapes.

Repeat the same process with values, add the same shade of gray to the background and try to match it to your drawing. if your reference has a shade of gray as a background and you work in a white background its going to be so much harder to match the values.

[Anonymous No.4501207]

>>4496113
anon I really recommend that you try to find those proportions in a real person (a photo will do). And don't confuse that circle with the size of the cranium, which would be from the top of the head (without the hair) to the base of the nose. If you look at the original drawing this last measure fits with the width of the head.

And try to make the lines more neat, they don't have to be perfect, but clear enough so you don't get confused about which is the "right" one. If you have a hard time doing it from the beginning, erase a little and re-mark the most correct one

[Anonymous No.4501413]

>>4499923
You are wasting your time. Learn how to sketch before learning to paint. It's not going to look good no matter what you do if you don't change the face. Learn anatomy of the body and then face. After that learn shading. If you want your stuff to look good as fast as possible do this. Obviously you don't have to just to drills. You can take days off and see how you improve, but focus on improving in one area until you become good at it. Drawing is more like math than people care to think.

[Anonymous No.4501537]

>>4501413
By mathematics I assume you mean "doing computations", like mental arithmetic or differential calculus.
Mathematics is the opposite of that, you grasp higher orders concept by rebuilding them from scratch, second-order analogies (natural transformations), etc. And it's fairly rare that any amount of "drills" will get you closer to any deep knowledge, although that helps.
If drawing/painting was like math it would be much easier.

All of my life, started studying seriously around 2012 (picrelated top just before that, best I could do) and stopped in 2013. I guess I probably figured out most of the stuff naturally as I doodled for years and years and tied it up together with a bit of formal stuff like how to construct your scene in 3D, shadow & light, composition. I was always interested more in drawing the object I imagined rather than how the drawing worked as a piece of art.

If you're going tapping fingers that's not how it's done . The wrist should move less and most of the lifting should be done with the fingers. Here you have the fingers mostly static and the wrist doing all the work, which makes the movement appear very stiff and forceful/deliberate.

its not relevant to art. i know people have done it, but its not practical what so ever. It's origins are from 3D maps seeing as its used for performance instead of rendering the entire scene's lights. So The soft shadows are baked into a map. Even that one guy that does use it, it goes overlayed with other lights, cast shadows and ambient light ect. but eitherway yours looks like shit, so dont bother with it, because its needlessly complex especially when you dont know shit about it.

[Anonymous No.4503449]

>>4502559
Your image needs a more clear distinction between the lit and shadow area, right now it looks like it is almost evenly lit from all around the figure, flattening it.
You can let different objects merge together in the shadow, no need to clearly separate them. This can be used to great effect in the inner parts of the cloak, where everything should disappear together like the exposed arm.

It's pretty amazing that you can come up with so many monster species that look diverse, but retain a quality that makes them look like they belong to the same world. I think there is a bit of stiff awkwardness (and the hint of minor anatomical issues) in some of the drawings, particularly ones with more human proportions. But other than that I am legitimately impressed.

I am not that used to drawing humans or humanlike beings thus the end results tend to be a bit awkward.

I like it a lot! The people holding hands are a nice touch. Colours are also very nice, but you can go a lot darker in the cave. The contrast between light and dark at a cave entrance is so high that most of our cameras don't really capture it.
The cave's mouth itself isn't doing much for me, its shape is boring and it just blocks that lovely sky. I also got rid of the stalagtites, dripstone usually needs very specific and undisturbed places to develop, so it just seems unlikely they would grow in a place like this.
Check your light sources and perspective (imo the horizon line should be a bit further up), render the castle and the people a bit more and you'll have a great piece in no time. Good job!

I feel like there should be some twist to the abs as the legs are facing the camera and the torso isn't and the transition is abrupt around the belt line, whereas I think the abs should twist around and it would look somewhat less rigid

Blonde hair isn't really yellow. It's more brownish and desaturated. Try to show some darker tones in the shadows. Her hair also looks unnatural because the hairline is hidden and the hair part doesn't show the scalp.

Torso looking great. Legs too short like another anon pointed out.

I would say the right foot looks way tense than it should be when looking at the soleus tendon. In addition I would add that it should point more in the direction of the kneecap normal. Upper left arm shown looks like its either too short, or its is broken at the elbow. Right now the right deltoid looks off as it does not stretch itself onto the upper right arm.

Keep going!

I think you should add more shadows and darker colors to the area I highlighted, it currently looks flat in terms of lighting, as if the sun is 90 degrees above it casting zero shadows.
I also think that the lake and mountains in the horizon don't read properly. I had to expand the image before I even noticed that they're there. Maybe try to increase their saturation a little bit and see if that helps.
Either way this is looking great.

Right arm looks better now as it is clearer that the deltoid is attached to it. Left arm looks abit clearer now with the hand introduced, but iit still feels somewhat off to me.

The hands are very small, her left one rests on her leg in an unnatural and stiff way.
Her right arm lacks perspective (I think). The elbow is in a weird position or it might be the upper arm's problem, but they dont convince me that they are extending in front of the chest and mouth very well.
The flesh lumps on her chest where the boobs spill outside the shirt close to the armpits are... odd and unflattering, something not very good on a pinup piece.
Her neck is too thick for a cute girl when compared to the face, but making the face bigger will only make the hands even smaller. And while the face looks small, the head as a whole is large due to the volume of the hair. In general, proportions are a bit off. It's usually less noticeable with sketches or lineart but becomes very clear when you put colors and shading.
The biggest offender of them all, unfortunately, is the face. The more you render, the more uncanny it looks. you cant stylize something to that extreme in lineart and then slap "realistic" lights on it. The expression is also too cartoony to match the painting style you are going for.
I have advised you in the past to ditch the rendering, but it feels like it is the part you enjoy the most, so I will suggest something different. Avoid the faux anime lineart and paint loosely on top of a sketch instead, focusing on nice textures and colors. Working on one layer also works very well with this and is the method I use for my own works
