Reposting from end of last thread

Trying to do something different than normal. I rarely place figures in an actual space. Im trying to give weight to the character through interaction with the environment in this, I didnt bother detailing the environment too much since it really was only meant to be a practice drawing, I just took it to completion (mostly)
It wasn't until later i realised the arms are totally different thickness

I think overall the piece looks pretty good - it's clear you have the fundamentals of painting down. There are just a few elements that drag it down into uncanny valley.

For starters, there should be a shadow on the collar below the chin, otherwise it looks flat. Then, the golden buttons have noticeably less detail (no speculars!) than the headpiece, which also makes them look strange in comparison. Finally, there's SOMEthing about the eyes and eye area that looks off-putting - I think there's too much smudging which makes it look like the skin is strangely crumpled up, and the eyes themselves are too flat and lacking in plane variation around the eyelids. Look up references of close-up faces to amend that.

Overall you're on a good track imo, keep practicing!

look at the neck, shoulders and head perspective they are viewed from below but when you look at her tits they are almost as if they were in front view they should be higher and the underboob should be more visible, waist has the same problem.

neck and right arm are too thick, neck is almost half of her torso length.

>>5164815
I can’t say I get the point about the shoulders and head perspective. Is it not entirely possible to move your head upwards without your breasts moving that much?

Neck and right arm I agree with, but I think maybe the neck is that thick for characterization

[Anonymous No.5164959]

>>5164823
its mainly the shoulders and collarbone point if view, sure you can move your head upwards but moving it close to the point where they form a straight line is only possible if is it viewed from below or if you arch your back really hard, in that pic that angle is reinforced by the barely visible are of the traps that happens when the ribcage is pointing up or is viewed from below but in this pic is not the former

Thanks friend. I did choose the ref because of her expressive eyes and smile.

>>5165342
Thanks. It is a matter of stylization. I do admit that a thinner lighter line would've looked more natural.

[Anonymous No.5165387]

>>5164480
Good effort here! Seems like you're getting the hang of painting. I think the thing you might want to work on is the structure-- figure out the drawing completely before going into painting. If the foundation underneath a painting is off, any errors will be magnified.

What's jumping out to me the most are the shapes of the eyes being a bit too much of that 'cartoony' almond/football shape. They're also a tad large and are lacking eyelid definition. Also, try to get more nuanced shapes out of areas like the lips-- don't be afraid to look at reference!

The clothes also seem a little too 'form-fitting' and need some dimensionality, so it doesn't just look like a 'skin' if that makes sense. Clothing's got a thickness to it.

Hope this helps!

could have more deliberate architecture design
colors and shapes (like cock towers) are fun to drive composition but are generic in design and arrangement. having a story here would be good. check the scale of the black witch in middle ground compared to the height of 1 storey + roof and window.

maybe introduce atmospheric perspective. objects in middle ground should not be going to black, the foreground character should have more value/color range in relation.

You have some really unfortunate tangents there, esp. the flower arch and the guys head, the tree and the cake.
The monsters head is completely drowned out by the background, it doesn't read at all.
Perspective the stairs is a bit iffy, they seem very uneven.
But most importantly, you're missing a well-defined light source. The monsters suit has a completely different lighting than the stairs, the rest is only pillow-shaded. Is it sunny? If so, where are the hard shadows on the ground?

that's pretty good. If you are going for the painterly feeling, why not erase most of the lines?

I'll try. You are right the hand lines are really dark, maybe will look better without them.

[Anonymous No.5184367]

>>5184280
I think the composition you have and the idea for the lighting is really great, the thumbnail looks stellar. You just need to work on the face a bit more. Specifically I would adjust the jaw line, as well as adjust the hair strands so that you can show off the eyes more. In general I feel that covering the eye’s highlights is something best to avoid, so you can adjust the highlight position to fit the pose you’re going for. The eyebrows look a bit thick, so putting a bit more space between them and the eyelids will help. I felt like the mouth’s expression could be a bit more interesting too, and if you want to add more oomph you can add some sweat like I did here. Using some overlay to make the skin color pop here and there would also be a good idea.

Oh forgot to mention, like with the shoulder area it's best to avoid outlining the part. You can see that I changed the shadow to show the form instead of a line showing the form of it.

Not that I'm here to tell you to stop doing that. But the best tracers are those who know how to make it look otherwise.

[Anonymous No.5184445]

>>5184367
Wow, that's insane thank you.

I'm gonna take the shoulder tip at heart, and I'm going to change the jawline as much as I can.

The face is what I don´t know what to do with, I like the hair on the face and the expression I was going for was sort of like a determined eyebrows pointed down kind of look, but Ill look into making the mouth more expressive. Also I don't think I can add any sweat since she's supposed to be a goddess, idk how that plays out.

You are really talented, thanks for the help.

Execution is all that matters, if you start thinking about anything but execution you're ngmi. The ideal artist should just render what he is asked in the approved style, be it a cartoon dragon's dick or a concept art landscape. This is how you become a successful artist and this thread reflects just that.

clip studio is the best painting software there is, the main advantage that photoshop has is that it isn't a painting software so you can use all sorts of stuff to help yourself out in it (hell it even as 3d functionality)
but as far as pure drawing and painting, clip studio is best

[Anonymous No.5187459]

/ic/ is so weird, people here with what seems to be no actual art skills gulp down so much theory that they don't really understand in practice so when people upload their art here they get the most bizarre feedback. sometimes it's perfectly fine art that gets really weird and specific complaints that aren't even visible and it seems the replyguy has deluded himself into seeing that and sometimes it's art with actual big flaws that gets other irrelevant aspects of it critiqued.

On a positive note, I think this (for example) >>5181156
is solid feedback at least regarding some aspects of that picture and art in general, which are not necessarily the most important to making a picture look good but at least it's something that's actually there.

I feel like that pictures biggest flaw is bad rendering so like, boring colors and muddy blending. But everything said in that post is true and good observation/analysis skills so that's something, at least

pic unrelated and obviously not by me.

I think you shouldn’t invest your time into this smooth gradient-esque shading before you’re more confident with your forms. For now if I were you I’d try a simple cel-shaded style - it will look better and can actually teach you a thing or two about the way forms work.

He often uses pictures or scans of watercolors or oil paintings of his to jumpstart his paintings, and then using some sort of mixer brush on top perserving that traditional texture.

You definitely need to work on your edge control - the blending isn't half bad and the colors are serviceable (even tho the skin is a bit too monotone and waxy), but everything seems too mushy and blurred, especially in the hand area. Don't be afraid of the opaque brush, carve those fingers in harder with the color of the shadow so that there's a clear boundary there.

Also if you're going to paint in such a realistic style, you need to brush up on your anatomy, otherwise you will fall deep into the uncanny valley. Right off the bat I see no collarbones, wrong armpit/arm-to-chest connection, and there's something wrong with the area where her right leg connects to the pelvis but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Oh, and her left arm is waaaay too long, but that's more of a proportion error than an anatomy one.
