I miss /alt/ bros.

I hate this fucking sketchbook. It doesnt fit in the god damn scanner. Why the fuck do people draw in these things. The paper is shit and can’t take a wash. It bleeds for marker like a mother fucker. The spiral bound is so fucking high off the table, i ahve to put another sketchbook next to it to level my palm to draw. The perforation looks like it’s about to tear at the slightest breeze. The paper isnt even white. It’s this cum colored cream shit. I can’t even look at the drawing for reference when I am finished because i flip it to the backside.

Fuck this sketchbook trash and anyone who uses a sketchbook for finished work. This makes watercolor on actual watercolor paper look more feasible. I might actually break down and paint on some arches tomorrow I’m so fucking over this spiral fuck stack of shit paper.

My wash didnt really work either. I did markers for everything but the wings and pink fart clouds. I blew way past the super light colored ink when i hit it with markers. I forgot how intense markers are. I guess i learned a lot. Fuck.

the surface might be gret, but the light of that shadow isn't grey. It's usually cold or warm. Black is neither.
basically black will make your shadows dull and muted. Read james gurney book on light, it's great for stuff like that

feel like I've been stagnating for a while.
i can i identify my flaws:
i don't know how to apply color theory.
i don't know where to use soft edges and where to use hard edges.
my values are ass.
i watched videos and heard people explain these subjects.
i still don't know how to/can't improve.

[Anonymous No.6737143]

>>6737126
I think your colors are a bit muddy and your edges aren't great in some areas. The texture I'd goof. There's soo much color going on in some spots like either the cape where there's blue highlights on the purple, then purple shadows, a cape hanging would not be so lumpy. Using colors to define shapes would go a long way for this. The texture brush is working well

[Anonymous No.6737158]

>>6737143
what's a good resssource to learn how/when/where to use hard edges ?

That's my issue with coloring.
You have to put your brain into overdrive 100% of the time just to make the colors make sense. Lighting? Shadows? How the color interacts with the background? Which color to pair with another? And all the other bullshit one has to keep in mind when in the process of coloring. There is no time for breaks. There has to be a way to get around this.

I love your work, but all of your art is just pictures of a character standing there. I know you have a lot of back story for them, so given how skilled you are at character art it would be really cool to see you start applying them in some scenes.

I use soft round brushes and a lot of layer masks. I'll make a new layer, blend out the area I want and then mask out the sections to create hard edges. If I like what I did I'll merge that layer and start the process over.

Like, I will have done made a couple hundred layers/masks over the course of a painting.

This is from jujutsu kaisen, right? Most of the inspiration for my guy was from chainsaw man devils and their eye-less, teethy faces. I did watch this show a few years back, so this character could have been lingering in the back of my mind subconsciously.

something i noticed
the left eye (our view) is higher than the right, the nose is too long/there should be more space above the mouth and the mouth itself just doesn't look like it's on perspective with the rest of the face. and i'd also recommend not outlining the whole of the lips

as for the whole pose, it does look a bit awkward though i'd say it's anatomically possible. biggest thing that jumps out is that the left leg should be "higher" so it looks as if it's further away from the camera

Don't think i can provide that much in the design area. The whole thing jsut seems rather bland to me, like i will forget it the moment i look away. Maybe you could try pushing the shapes more, jsut playing with the overall silhouette because the amount of detail you put in doesn't really save it. The message i get from t is 'generic warrior in a desert' so if that's what you were going for all good then

look at your values. because right now i look at the sword first because its' the lightest point which then has that hand on with high contrast on it thanks to the thick black lines and it takes attention away from the head and torso of the character. and composition wise i wouldn't have the sword be so in the middle either. unless you wanted it to be the main focus and the character to just be a holster

You can do bright colors it’s fine. What you’re seeing that’s makes it look wrong is that your foreground colors are too similar to your background colors. It looks like they intersect at points because there is no contrast. Like >>6727939 said, the lighter tones make the picture atmospheric, but you could achieve this by changing the colors in the background, they can still be bright.

Perhaps if you gave a brief description on how she is the villian then that could help generate ideas. I can clearly see that she is based on her name and design that she has to do with femininity and sexuality, perhaps even, because of the name, an overbearing, tyranical presence. but if i did not know her name, i would have that she was akin to a disgruntled hooker, tired from her job.

[Anonymous No.6775247]

I believe it is a bit busy and she sort of falls into the background. If that is your intent, then so be it. Otherwise, might i suggest a slightly bolder outline, or a bit more shading on the man in the back to make her pop a bit more

I'm not going to go deep into this, buuut, this is all features without foundation. Where does something start? Where does it end? What are any of the individual forms? The Lines tell me it's round but the form says its flat. Things are overlapping but not interacting.

Tldr break this down into simplified forms and make a directional light source for those forms as well as how those forms are interacting with each other.

very cute design and nice colours+rendering but the limbs are beyond goofy. Arms too short and the legs are strange (thighs too thick compared to rest, looks like turkey drumsticks). You need to grind some anatomy studies hard because you have potential and it'd be a shame to see it wasted.
