Shapes and forms are solid, proceed. Maybe a bit more core shadows between your mids and your reflected lights on the right side.

I don't even know anymore. I guess I've stared at it for too long but I have no idea where I'm going with this anymore. Trying to figure out the environment killed my will to continue with this. It became stale and overly complicated and the environment is so complex it actually takes away from the focal point and defeats the purpose of the image. Fuck it, into the bin it goes.

Takes legit 5 min to come up with something more interesting and less clusterfucky. This is what i get for not thumb nailing.

[Anonymous No.4985022]

>>4984955
Clean your edges and group your values a bit more before thinking about soft-edges and gradients. for example try to group your drapery shadows into a few unified shapes.
Right no everything look a bit fuzzy/muddy.

>>4984967
The subject is positioned awkwardly where he just touches the big shadow shape in the background.

I'd say a quick fix you can try is to bring the shadow block a bit down and cast a light on the top of your subject so they differentiate from the BG.

hmmm... It's from an old folktale. The wolf carries the boy back to civilization from the mountains, so having it go slightly down hill makes sense. Can't figure out how to do it otherwise. I'm all for ideas tho.

I think suspension of disbelief is fine for the kid riding. Some of the textures you used to blend in the snow with tall dead grass/twigs look nice btw. I think maybe adding a similar motion blur to the end of the back hind leg to just give it a litte OOPMH in the motion. Maybe try making the intersection of the two most middle in frame legs into more of a lost edge to the leg it is crossing over. Only cause it looks like the wolf is adding a twist to his pathing sprint

This looks nice, your line work and hatching are very expressive, especially on the face and hair. The perspective is grounded well too, he really feels like he's leaning against the wall. I think the foot looks a little strange, and having only one foot visible makes the way he's standing feel off as well. Generally, the outside edge of a foot is pretty straight, it's the inside edge (toward the big toe) that curves inward to form the arch. With only one foot visible, the base of the foot makes me think it's his left foot, and then the arrangement of the toes makes me think it's the right foot, if that makes sense.

Any critiques here. I'm trying to get some weight but it feels floaty at this stage. Also my perspective feels off but I can't pin it. I think its the guys legs look too small and too big at the same time.

[Anonymous No.4988519]

>>4988505
>too small and too big at the same time.
Foreshortening is a function of distance from the camera, not only the distance between to similar objects. Try with your hands, one close your eye, one at arm's length. Note that size difference in your hands will not be the same difference you see in someone across the room from you doing the same thing. Your far hand is 200-300% as far as the near one, other person's might be 10% further in distance.

If you're gonna put any foreshortening on dude's near vs. far legs/knees, it probably should be very slight, unless his knee is in the camera's lens.

Tried this wireframe exercise

Any ways to enhance my understanding of form? Not memorising certain forms like anatomy, rather getting better at >feelingtheform and visualising 3D space on the canvas

[Anonymous No.4989159]

>>4989095
Pretty good man, really well observed. Did you trace over top of it? Tracing here can definitely be a good way to understand the forms, but I would do some freehand sketches as well. Maybe with a less complicated subject, though.
Also, I would for sure include the ground plane as part of your wireframe, especially with a reference like that. Being able to include a 3D form with its surroundings is super important, dropping down a grid should help you get a feel for it.

[Anonymous No.4989257]

>>4989159
Yes I traced the contours directly over it, trying to perceive a simplified mesh on complex forms. Thank you brah, will take all that onboard and do better!

[Anonymous No.4989433]

>>4988581
I wouldn't really have been able to tell what this is if you hadn't explained. Not trying to be mean here, I think the biggest issue is actually a mismatch of painting style and reference. Something like >>4988584 only looks good if you paint it photorealistically, because aside from the details of the water there isn't really anything interesting going on. If you want to paint looser, choose references that lend themselves to it with interesting shapes and colors and more of a sense of depth. On the other hand, if you want to paint more detailed pieces, actually put in the time and refine it.
Also, the blurry foreground element doesn't really work. In a more detailed piece you could achieve a similar effect by leaving it less detailed, but in a simple painting you gotta commit and either put it in or leave it out.

[Anonymous No.4989464]

[Anonymous No.4989622]

>>4989433
Fair critique, but i don't agree that a painting like this is impossible (for a good artist at least). Look at Gurneys painting of a similar scene, its probably not much bigger than my paint and i don't think he took much longer too. He's just better.
At the moment im just trying to get a bit of painting pratice and put some paints out. Maybe I'll come back to this and try to do a neater piece.

I had some good advice from /ic/ when I started this a year ago. I worked on it some more recently.

So far what I'm planning for each portrait:
1:The backlight under the zygomatic arch doesn't look right. Lighter background so that it matches with 2 better.
2:The colors clash too much. The color banding is too apparent. Make the palm a little smaller on the pinkie side. The tangents with 3 bother me
3:Darker accents. Does it look like he has pink hair coloring? I might change that. Maybe lower the horizon.
4:ctrl+m to make the whole thing lighter. Lighter sunglasses. Ctrl+u to differentiate the hues from 6 a little more.
5:Reduce contrast. Make surfaces less reflective. Mouth a little lower. The background is a screen, Do I dare add chromatic aberration on it?
6:More atmospheric pers. There's something weird with the eyes

I think I'm gonna do these finishing touches in a day or two with a fresh perspective. So if you guys have any ideas I'll consider them as well. I also put a black and white version for values.

welcome to /ic/, your art looks great for a newbie! i would say reading any book on art theory is probably worthwhile, and bear in mind that having a physical copy in your home is very different to using an online pdf (at least to me). all the best in your art journey!
>>4988505
the foreshortening looks a little exaggerrated, although that could be a stylistic choice. try drawing in some background, that could help ground your characters. also try starting to add light and shadow, by showing their form you should be able to give some sense of weight. good job though anon!

one step at a time, anon! Rome wasn't built in a day! this is important to remember even when considering an individual painting. given enough time, you and i both know you could have painted that creek photorealistically- and i doubt even sargent couldve painted that in a single sitting! keep working on it and you'll be sure to succeed!

[Anonymous No.5000577]

>>5000530
I'd say color is allright, maybe look at more reference, there is more color under water than people think. Make the setting more specific. And also, your guy could use more space to swim in, he is tightly cropped, especially the way his back fin is cut by the picture border is distracting. Also too much forground and too black, not specific. In general you're good but be more specific.

Put some sharp edges in there to create focus. Also the high contrast is costing you legibility, the forms of your subject are hard to read. Think 3D, like a sculpture, there's never so much black in nature, even in shadows.

I like the eye and the bottom part of the beard, there's some nice shapes there. Feel like you need to work on the nose and mouth more, but like less contours.
