Well the only planes you really demarkated were the nose and the bottom of the chin. The lineart makes the nose looks like it's facing to (his) left (or that you did a single line down the middle or something) and the chin looks pretty odd as well.
That said, what I suggest is just try and block in values. Pick a light direction (try and keep it simple and maybe find a reference) and decide where the light is hitting. I'd suggest keeping it as simple as you can and just picking one light tone, one midtone and one shadow tone. People saying you can't fix a bad drawing in the painting stage must have never painted because it's pretty quick to do once you start painting over your lineart as long as you don't do too many details.

Also remember - fuck the soft round brush to start. Find one with a hard edge or your stuff will look muddy and bad.

You've got a pretty bad eye, anon. Far less muddy, generally better color selection, in general just better done. Obviously he's not become some golden god of art in the span of a year, but nobody has and his stuff is nice.
To >>2327233 I think I saw your knight reading the newspaper in the other thread, if that was you. I like the way you do armor.

blog?

>>2327121

does it trigger you?

>>2327126
can you post your work while we wait for his because hes going to ask you to post your work before even thinking of posting his.

>>2327102
that last one wasnt us :(

>>2326404
blog? (im not that one faggot i promise)

>>2327098
>How do I improve my application of it then?
Keep doing some... Work on lines so we know where your mistakes are and they arent hidden.

this falls within the category of things that are hard to critique for long to explain reasons, it isnt bad enough or good enough to be critiqued generally or precisely. So nobody will want to do it.

I'll give you a critique if you try really hard on a single face.

TLDR; any critique you can recieve for this would be near useless.because you understand the concept but have uni formally bad application.

>>2327032
I dont believe the general idea of blocking and refining is wrong to show.

its just as easy to argue that showing him something bad(flawed) would potentially hurt him. did you want me to link this one?

>>2326609
are you reffing or using models or something> theres a deep contrast between understanding depending on elements.

>>2327012
im glad to see this is causing you stress.

>>2326848
look at your negative space, the arm clearly overlaps with the body making that white space isolated

>>2327001
im one step ahead of you buddy.
>>2326997
Same process as seen here.

>>2326997
youre just eyetracing theres no point in criticizing, overlay the image and the hand, I could name the way in which singular hands could be improved ( left hand 2 middle fingers shorts, palm small) but honestly just keep track of relative position and negative space. Or start drawing through the form by drawing it in simplified blocks/cylinders

>>2326979

I guess you're right. I am a gay.

>>2326975
might as well draw something for a friend at that point. No reason to limit yourself to RNG

>>2326970
oh, im saying that because it one critique he insulted me and in the other he's nice. Was just bringing it to attention that its the same person hes had polar reactions to.
But yes praise me.

>>2326967
WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU GETTING THESE MAGICAL INSIGHTS FROM DUDE. Obviously assume its a guy, this place is so hostile, especially so to girls.

>>2326961
if you dont want to have fights dont defend yourself with "Style" and dont call people idiots when they give you advice. If the advice is genuinely bad another anon will swoop in to correct them.

>>2326956
>>2326959
how did you detect hes mexican?
>>2326581
since i reffed you.

>>2326940
you may not have noticed but i was also the original person to sugges the resizing but you refused to accept that. In total ive critiqued you 3 times and you took 2 critiques away from others.

>>2326942
try gestures and build people out of cubes and spheres. I recommend you look at prokos gesture tutorial or vilpu ( he applies building figure with blocks on a more bodily level)
>>2326939
Can you post your work or an equivalent redline to validate your opinion then? You're basically spreading missinformation by supporting a style based ego. And I'd hate to let you go without arguing further.
