because this board is only good for anime, begs, trad name fags, and shitposting anymore

Recently got a skull from Amazon and attempted to do some studying from life.

>>3572338
Anime drawing should have a containment board.

>>3573196
Noice anon. Good stuff, you should try doing some in color next.
>>3573198
This board is slow enough lad, you take out the weebs and it'll be /i/ tier where you have year old threads on the catalog.

Nobody draws here anyway.

some face studies i did

trying to get better at simplifying forms/using better lineweight

>>3572330
I think the OG guy just stopped making them for whatever reason. There was no new one for a couple days and then I made the last one. After that one died no one made a new one again. I guess someone else will have to take up the duty of making draw threads since the old guy is gone. Also if you're reading this old draw thread guy, thanks for making all those threads lad.

I posted an earlier version in another thread. Anyway, a portrait study I took some artistic liberties with.

>>3573289
i think the perspective on the hat is slightly whack, doesn't feel like it's sitting on her head straight.

i like it though, with her expression it kinda looks like she's trying to stay stoic with people snickering in her periphery.

>yes the hat is part of my skull m'lord, i can't take it off.
>i'm actually renowned for my beautiful bonehat in my lands

>>3573294
Man, I know what you mean but I just couldn't quite put my finger on it. I need to look at it again with fresh eyes at some point.

Somebody tell me what to do with this...

>>3573301

Oh crap, I forgot I had photoshoped that monster in as a joke...

>>3573302
Needs more children, plush animals and demons above the ceiling.

>>3573301
>>3573302
definitely more monsters. and spacemen being forced to battle to the death in the rainbow deathpit

>>3573306
>>3573307

So basically ya'll want an updated version of this then?

>>3573339
yes

>>3573339

Rather not, that is terrible.

is working on one painting for 4-5 hours instead of doing multiple quick and more rough studies limiting my growth? I'm a incredibly slow worker

>>3573362
>I'm a incredibly slow worker
it's gonna be inktober in a bit of time, do it this year and I guarantee you're gonna be much faster

>>3573359

Of course it's terrible. It's ancient. But I do enjoy the horrified reactions I get when I show it to people.

>>3573357

Well... maybe. I'll never be able to make it as disturbing as the original though...

>>3573362

Are you trying to improve your drawings, or learn how to paint? It's all about your goals, dude.

>>3573301
>>3573302
the monster is definality a keeper, the amount of high detail on a far object in contrast with the very sterile room give a surrealistic to the scenery

Posted in the traditional thread and nobody answered me. Any crits? I’m waiting for the paint to dry fora few days before going colours

>>3573369

Well I'll think about it. It's gonna be a while before I can return to this piece anyway.

Here's some other WIP stuff.

lel, definitely keep the monster

>>3573301
background mural is very nice, very 60s
what colour are the characters who'll go in it? they might fight for dominance with the purple/teal

>>3573912
too much detail on the clouds i m o, makes them look weird

>>3573371
her ass is fucking weird as hell. double check proportions

>>3573922

Color? They were just going to be white-ish...

I guess I could put them in lighter colors to pop them out from the intense BG colors...

>>3573925

I think you're right. I donwloaded some more cloud brushes. I'll probably go over the sky and see if I can make them look a bit smoother.

>>3573371

your rendering sucks ass and is totally inefficient. use less strokes to achieve the same effect. remember to block your values and blend the transitions. stop going over section repeatedly with excessive brush strokes it looks awful like chicken scratch handwriting not art. the shadow core and reflected light on the ass cheek is so flat i can't even tell im looking at a 3d object it just looks like strips of paint, which by the way is the biggest problem most beginners have; everything they draw and paint looks like pencil marks and paint on paper rather than the thing they are trying to depict. remember you are trying to fool me into thinking im looking at an ass cheek. if im not fooled you have failed.

You seem like a cunt.

>>3573371

here is a helpful tutorial i just made for you that might help you with your next painting. print this out and keep it next to you when you are painting so you don't forget!!!

>>3573289

good stroke economy and lighting. some of the highlights are a little off. i would prefer if the shadow was softer below the neck and if you tapered the strokes on the upper left horn a little more/cleaned up the overlap. lower left horn is really nice, really pops out of the image. the eyes are flat and the eyebrows look pasted on. the middle of the crown looks like you spent ~30s on it. I'd like to see a crisper and darker crease line between the crown and her scalp. would be nice if you beveled the lower right smaller horn like you did the rest of them. ill post a paintover in an hour or so to show you what i mean more specifically since this was kind of a hand-wavy critique.

>>3573938

awww did i huwt yuh wittle feewings??? im so sowwwyyy

p.s. when the fuck did 4chan become tumblr? did i miss something? i used to post shit like this all the time back in the day and no one would fucking complain. now people cry if you say anything other than "looks good and i want to felate you."

>>3573944
he's not wrong, you do sound like a cunt. but your critique isnt bad.

>>3573944

Nevermind. You sound like little bitch instead.

>>3573949

did you get your masters in psychology from full sail or devry?

>>3573945

okay thanks. ill have the paint over in a few hours. im seeing more inconsistencies now that i've zoomed in. the face is almost entirely rendered by means of chicken scratch for example.

>>3573951

how long did you spend on those bricks anon?

This one wasn't as fun to draw I just saw a drawing my ex gf uploaded to her profile and decided to use it as a reference to feel in control again. Yep there it is.

I also found out (after finishing it) that Murata himself had already done the same pose so I could see how I fucked up the face in hindsight.

>>3573243
Nice Adolf, you're gonna make it.

What did I do wrong, when I was drawing hair?

>>3574091
look up pictures of hair that you want to portray and note the differences. not that nuns usually have hair hanging out when they wear habits like that

>>3574042

Thanks!

>how long did you spend on those bricks anon?

Oh... I don't know. A couple of days. The buildings outside are what's actually being tedious to me.

>>3572330
cuz no one cares to reply on this threads and make their own threads with their shitty art

>>3573289

Alright here are my revisions. I'm sorry it took so long but I think it was worth it because many of the things I fixed in your paintings are what I see as a general problem among beginner and average artists that paint digitally; not going the extra mile to finish the piece, leaving it in an intermediary stage because they know most people won't be able to tell the difference. If for example this took 3 hours to make, you should spend at least another 3 hours doing finishing work. My revisions took about 4 hours, for example. Don't be afraid of spending 20+ hours on a piece if it means the difference between a sketch and something admirable. It is more important that it looks excellent than that you spend less time on it.

>>3574268
Nice

here's a new one i made

>>3574319
Thank you so much for the compliment. Feels good.

Keep at it. I dont know how old you are but I am 29 and I couldnt draw as well as I can now until a year or two ago. And I still suck ass compared to the artists I follow. Before then I spent years making digital art which gave me some stylistic background but I couldnt draw anything on my own very well.

I dont have shit for technical knowledge and I am probably a shitty artist by most accounts, but what I am good at is pouring work into my aesthetic and trying to draw inspiration from a wide range of sources - and doing meta cognitive criticism as I draw.

Commission WIP. Sorry about the shitty lighting.

>>3574334

please be joking

>>3573196
the skull feels too narrow, and is it a metallic material ? If not I would tone down the value range.

>>3573289
clarify pit of the neck area. Top of her forehead bulges out a little to much. Ear is too far back on the skull, its also catching to much light in this occluded area. shoulders to wide. One of her traps is concave, the other one is convex. Dont make rim light same width all around the form, it flattens it out. Use the speculars more sparingly notably on the lips, its a little overdone. Overall nice work !
>>3574042
make a mucha study/copy first. Feels like you are quite far from his aesthetics.

>>3574305
cool but its getting a bit messy. Needs better shapes. I want to see a path leading to the buildings yet I cannot find it. Left area is really confusing etc

BIG potential anon. ily

>>3573934
Thank you for your input, I’ll try to make less brush strokes next time, even if I kind of like the brushy/painterly feels of the visible strokes.

Just a dumb thing. Had these characters in mind for a while and wanted to put them on paper while I concept the world they’re from.

>>3574493
one thing i learned on /ic/

you need to overrender before doing loose stuff. sometimes its true, sometimes its as bullshit as it sounds.

>>3574627
is she supposed to have a backwards hand?

Thanks for pointing that out, Anon

Update. Please tell me if I'm fucking it up or any advice for going forward. I barely started the foliage, just some shading and lines to get something down. I just noticed yesterday that the perspective seems off on the right portion of the building...any advice to fix it up or maybe hide it better since I've come this far? I just need this to be done and look as good as possible by the 29th.

Idk. Just tear it apart if you can, senpai.

>>3575015

The tree is growing from the building?

>>3575039

Nice isoparms. Makes the drawings more convincingly three-dimensional. Pay more attention to the line weight, it is not as consistent on the horse drawings as it is with your human models.

Check the perspective on all the objects and their cast shadows in your color form studies.

>>3573339
do you have anywhere you post your art its real eerie and sureal i need more

What do you mean?

I painted it 14 years ago when I was trying to learn digital art. It was supposed to be creepy, but I missed the mark and made it creepy for all the wrong reasons.

Nowadays I just keep it in my gallery to horrify people.

your construction feels solid

>>3574701
>>3574899

It's a few short word to say that you self examine and make adjustments according to anything mental that goes into your work. This happens naturally if you practice and improve over time.

From your psychological connection to the subject matter i.e. personal history including your aesthetic/cultural background - to anticipation of your tendencies proficiencies/shortcomings in technical knowledge and execution. To preempt both mistakes and breakthroughs by being mentally proactive for one piece with knowledge of how it relates to everything else you've done.

This is all an important part of making art. Look at the definition:

"More precisely, it refers to the processes used to plan, monitor, and assess one's understanding and performance"

If this is word salad to you I do apologize for not being clearer.

>>3574268

I feel like there may be something wrong with the anatomy here (or something different), can someone help out?

thank u, will work on nose/lip thing!!

Nice work anon. Maybe make the green of that ramp thing a bit brighter to balance the orange.

>>3576341
Her left leg is too big. It isn't part of the extreme perspective so it should be in normal, flat proportion to the body. In fact if you look at your grid lines it is sitting above her right leg which is perspectively impossible. Also I think her right leg needs to be selected at the top of the knee and dragged a bit towards the center.

>>3576408
thank you very much for the fast reply! i agree with the stuff you say. Her left leg is supposed to be raised a bit since she is tiptoeing higher than the right but i failed and made it too big rip. Is the torso and length of neck ok?

>>3575665

I'm pretty sure you know how to put things in perspective you've just been here so long that no one keeps you in check anymore. ;)

>>3576138

Remember, cute means looks like an infant- large forehead, large eyes, button nose, small jaw. Also your shadows are muddy as usual.

>>3576333

You are not Jaime Jones. It doesn't look good when you leave your strokes unrendered, it just looks unfinished. Clean up your painting.

>>3575656

Why do furries always have such dark and twisted imaginations?

>>3576482
>Why do furries always have such dark and twisted imaginations?

You would prefer sparkledogs?

>>3576482
>You are not Jaime Jones. It doesn't look good when you leave your strokes unrendered, it just looks unfinished. Clean up your painting.

I never claimed to be nor do I have an interest to look like him. I know how to clean up stuff, it wasn't just necessary here. This a concept sketch, atmosphere was the important thing I wanted to convey

Some sketch I was working on. No longer have much time for personal work :/

>>3573302
Don't think the bloom works with the style. Also in 9/10 cases cast shadows look better with hard edges. Rule of thumb is soft and lost edges for form change and hard edges for form shadows (though obviosly only on round forms).

>>3575716
Focus on lineweight or everything starts blending into eachother. The scale of the hatching (distance between strokes) is at odds with the the dispersion of detail. This makes it read as detail rather than tone which I know isn't the intent.

>>3576333
Nice colors

I like this sketch, but need another perspective

>>3576671
Like this sketch

>>3572330
draw this in your style

>>3575039
Glad you're still doing stuff dude.

>>3576615
Well, this is only a rough render with the wall texture projected onto it. I haven't actually started rendering or painting it yet. I probably won't have the shadows so fuzzy in the final version.

So many unfinished paintings...

>>3574627
A wee update

>>3577085
learn perspective... this is so fucked. the person in the violin is supposed to be the smallest not the biggest.

>>3577085
so is it a giant, a human, and a hobbit, and the giant is playing a cave-troll's violin?

>>3577138
How do you not know what a cello is?

>>3577158
Not him. But arent cellos played while its on the ground and the mucisian holds it from behind and plays

>>3577165
Yes but the character is a giant...

>>3576757
<3

>>3574639

not him but i know what he means. IMO "overrender" isn't really a thing, because if you take rendering to it's limit, i.e. you "overrender" something, you are essentially mastering that thing. There are other ways of interpreting the word, but that is how I interpret it.

anyway, what he meant was that you need to master a skill (rendering) before you can be loose about it, i.e. you need to know the rules before you can break them. You still are in a stage where you are learning how to render, you are, no offense, not even close to having mastered rendering, so what looks like "painterly" strokes to you looks like unfinished brush work to everyone who knows who has mastered rendering. One of the things about art is that most people have terrible taste, no aesthetic since, no value for skill in art, so you can get away with being unskilled without anyone telling you otherwise. They will use terms like "overrender" to devalue mastery and the achievement of high skill in art. This is a trap, don't fall for it. After a certain point, you need to stop listening to feedback that is anything less than critical. Praise doesn't improve your work, and you can never truly master the making of art. There is always a skill that you can improve on, and you are never going to realize your fullest potential which is why you need to put as much effort in so as to overcome that limitation as much as possible.

A 20th cent. art hist. example would be de Kooning. If you look at his earlier work, it's very tight, very conservative renderings of still lifes. It was this level of skill that he needed to make the kind of loose work he later went on to make and become famous for. When you have no skill and try to make loose work you end up with mediocre dilettante trash like Manet (different than the more familiar Monet- who was a genius) who was never able to accomplish anything in his career because he was never able to master fundamental skills of painting and drawing.

>>3576564

And you failed, because your lack of mastery in rendering simple forms efficiently distracted from your stated goal of creating an "atmospheric" piece. None of the decisions you made in your lighting design and edgework says "atmospheric" to me, it just says "rushed" with some lazy scaled up textured brushes.

If you did try to make an "atmospheric" piece in earnest, and all these design choices were simply mistakes, I advise you try to look up the word you are going to center your illustration around, and think logically about what it would look like before starting to draw. Maybe atmospheric calls for softer less defined edges, less defined brushwork, and more haze? It is important to think before you paint or at the very least try to correct mistakes you make while painting so as to keep your work in line with the concept.

>>3577894
i like manet. but thanks, good stuff.

Tell me what u think

Another one. Acrylic

>>3577138
>>3577165

Slowly trying to relearn anatomy - still haven't studied the basic forms for hands and feet, if that wasn't obvious.
Any sort of pointers are appreciated, I'm sure I'm still getting a lot of stuff wrong.

>>3577912

sorry to hear about that. manet is the embodiment of everything i think your shouldn't do when painting. we only know he exists because he came from a wealthy family and was well connected in the paris art scene. he is a symbol of corruption and nepotism to me, which is the antithesis to mastery and skill in art. i detest everything about him and the influence he has had on following generations of artists.

>>3578300

your line work is decent, but you need to start constructing your anatomy from basic shapes rather than copying contours. you are getting away with it because your line work is decent like i said. you might be surprised but once you learn how to construct feet and hands they become much more enjoyable to draw (as will everything else). constructing forms makes putting a model in perspective at any angle much easier and will give you a somewhat permanent intuition for making form POP off the page in ways you couldn't do before.

check out russian classical work. russian school is heavily construction based and less focused on rendering. hatching/stroke economy plays a more central role to the technique.

another to look at it burne hogarth although his work isn't as consistent as the russians.

we should have some links to russian academic drawing folders you can download in the sticky. IIRC the quality of some of the pictures isn't great and you will need to prune the folder because some of the student work isn't very good either, but the best work is world class so it is worth it to do a little weeding.

>>3578334
Thanks for the recommendations, that sounds very interesting and I'll make sure to check it out tomorrow!

see how her feet are at the same line? that means her knees should be at the same line. SO, unless you want a very extreme angle, try backing the camera up a bit

trying to move into a more painterly style with less use of lines, feedback greatly appreciated

>>3578429
painterly is just an aesthetic, you still need to put in more work on this.

>>3578429
"more work" is what youre clearly capable of if you can render that nicely. look at that thumbnail

>>3579110
>it's piper from fallout 4, she's regular sized
But how tall is she?

>>3579079
As you move the camera above, towards a top-down perspective, you start seeing the top plane of your forms, which means the front plane compresses. Your faces are too long considering that perspective, and additionally, they seem to extend into the side planes as well for whatever reason (they're just too big).

Sorry for late reply, anon. I agree, and I think it would be better if I changed it so that they're all latched onto the building, but I'm already so far along at this point, ai don't think I could correct it without erasing so much and it looking even shittier. But thank you.

Dear /ic/, today I made my first drawfag request from /a/ after only practicing my basics for a month. I feel like it isn't anything impressive and I may have been able to just eyeball it a year ago and do it even faster than I did today with my newbie construction skills even if it'd have a few more mistakes, but I'm still happy to know my drawing has some kind of solidness to it and I feel like I can make it.

You really gotta control your lines, if you look at the drawings of professional artists, even the strongest, darkest primary lines will take the form of a single line with clear properties, not that shit that's been drawn 12 times over across half an inch by someone with hands so shaky you'd think they were doped up on amphetamines.

weird as fuck but i actually really love the lighting and how it alters the composition in such a nice but subtle way.

>>3575015
windows are titled not sure if its intended or not. the tree thingy(nier automata) is to thick.

and make the roots more violent

>>3575015
similar problems with windows on the right as opposed to left. they are to width. should be more narrow I think

>>3577902

>None of the decisions you made in your lighting design and edgework says "atmospheric" to me

You should actually read my post, nowhere did I say "atmospheric". I said atmosphere which doesn't necessarily mean there needs to be a hazy look to the image. Atmosphere also means mood, or the emotional setting of an artwork. I don't really think I failed in what I wanted to work on in this concept, it prove really helpful to me.

Also you keep calling this thing illustration, is said multiple times that this is a concept artwork. These two things are not the same.

>It is important to think before you paint
So is thinking before you post.

>>3580887
are they supposed to be children or just smaller adults?

>>3581244
The middle one is supposed to be normal the others are supposed to be too big and too small respectively. I dont think the right girl shows this very well unfortunately

food goes in. poop comes out. Easy peasy.

>>3581962
why are her back and neck stiff as boards and why is she turning like that?
you need to work on gesture, unless she's wearing a back brace that's making her sit unnaturally or something. just looking at this makes me uncomfortable.

Putting this right here so u can see how much shit y’all are. I actually finish work.

>>3582030
Reminds me of the wabi sabi guy.

>>3582902
These wouldn't be so bad if the coloring wasn't so lazy and sloppy. If you're going to use flat colors & values, why not use a totally opaque round brush with a sharp edge, instead of this loose, sloppy mark making?

>>3583043
Because I think this looks better? It's on you to convince me otherwise I guess. You took the time to do the crit, tell me why you think your idea is better.

I bet she twisted her ankle

Is this hard to read? I guess I'll find out myself when I post it. Also, does this "rumor gauntlet" work, or is it just too much text/information?

God damn, i did not expect the text boxes to be this frustrating to figure out.

Just did this drawing. Gonna try and paint it soon.

>>3581379
Added color

Should I leave it as it is with the lines or remove them and finish it without them?

>>3583453
practice tones and line weight

>>3583778
lines because it does a tiny bit to hide ur inability to handle edges/values

>>3583891
oh boy...

I had a couple of free minutes at work

>>3583985

>>3583990
it was a naked guinea pig and I had like 10 minutes. I never intended to make a masterpiece

put her in a desert

>>3583453
the font and size are too hard to read. there's a reason comics typically use all caps and sans serif fonts. the rumor gauntlet isn't working for me. if you're having that much dialogue in a panel, it should either add to the story or have some sort of payoff. it doesn't seem to serve a purpose here. what information is this supposed to convey to the reader?

>>3584039
They're all the first tastes of several plot lines, but they also give more context to the next characters to be introduced. None of them are idle chat. Does that exonerate them or not, you think?

Here's the next page, with a different approach to text. Better? Worse? Right direction?

painted someone who liked my art on Instagram, turns out she lives super close to me

>>3584480
I think it could be made clearer that the previous page was from his POV, maybe soldiers opening the door for him in first panel, crowd giving room rather than just being lined up in front of him. Maybe I just need more context.

>>3584484
Lmao I matched this girl on tinder too

>>3579728
ig?

>>3584484
the blue hair highlights thing you're doing is neat

>>3583419

I'm experimenting with a new style I've not tried before, a line drawing with the rendering done through an underpainting, as if the line drawing wasn't there. What do you guys think?

Update

>>3581969
>>3582202

I tried to make some changes to improve the gesture but I'm afraid I will have to wait to make major ones

Thanks anons

>>3582545
I think it is cute


>>3584635
Try to not threat the hair as individual strands, make clumps of it and detail as necessary, I also don't think the knee can get that high, try to lower it a bit
But overall I like the sum of its parts

>>3584676
try sitting like this and holding your arm straight down + bending your wrist up

>>3584676
a few more things - the purple in the shadows is meaningless. it doesn't make sense with the lighting environment and its not harmonious with the palette so why do it? the colors on the legs is way too bright and saturated to be reflected/bounce light too

>>3584676
i love your art but why did you fuck the hand up?? it was fine the way it was before

>>3584736
no, no it wasn't. but its also not fine now

>>3584676
>Try to not threat the hair as individual strands
i thought it adds to her ominous aura

>I also don't think the knee can get that high, try to lower it a bit
i can't see my mistakes anymore, i probably need to take a rest. thanks for the feedback

>>3584725
I love how you have a grid and still almost went off the page with the letters. S-Tier compositional skills

>>3584744
I mean that was done left handed.

Lets see your non-dominant hand art memes.

w-where would 5’8” be on this scale?

...Asking for a friend

>>3584676
If I remember I’ll do a redline of this tomorrow

>>3584728
It’s doable..not really comfortable though for some reason the client loved it

>>3584731
I thought that hue was closer to blue than purple. I will try to check the legs. Thanks

>>3584736
I thought it would help to "ease" the pose. Sorry to disappoint you :/

>>3584781
Next to the 5’10” girl, you just can’t see her at this resolution

>>3584843
i think the pose looks stiff, exaggerate it a little bit. i don't know if he's getting off or pushing the boat, i'm pretty shit though so take it with a grain of salt

>>3583761

Started a rough wash on this drawing. Trying to figure out if I can be a bit more efficient in my painting methods.

i dig this

>>3585008
this is so comfy, i can't wait to see it when it's finished

>>3584659
That’s typically how I found I paint best, digitally. I do a line drawing, render a bit underneath, and then overpaint to remove lines.
>>3584843
I think the navel should be a bit more to her left
>>3585008
Nice. I hope you incorporate some interesting light streaming through the clouds and trees. Is this from ref?
>>3585169
Hands are pretty smol
>>3585401
Jaw/neck look a bit off
>>3585404
A bit too low value

>>3584843
if you keep using your clients as shields your art will stagnate.
this too looks stiff and like your mannequinized it poorly making the body look like separate pieces instead of working together, i'm not quite sure what this pose is meant to indicate. the hand at the front doesn't seem to adhere to the surface its grabbing either

>>3585466
you did not successfully evoke that nip artist who does this thing with red
why the red works in his art is because its usually accompanied by gray
that's enough to boost the red chroma in comparison and will make the nearby gray appear green or blue green by default

>>3585419
>this is so comfy, i can't wait to see it when it's finished

Thanks. I love Japanese gardens and courtyards. They're so cozy.

>>3585432
>Nice. I hope you incorporate some interesting light streaming through the clouds and trees.

Thanks I'm still figuring out the lighting at this stage. I want it to be overcast and softly lit, but I'm not sure how much direct light I want. Will figure out once I have the underpainting done.

>Is this from ref?

Not really. I collected a bunch of images of Japanese gardens and courtyards, but the specific design is original.

>>3585468
I just like glowing nostrils. Also zeen uses not omly red

>>3585491
why any high chroma or higher chroma color works in his art is because of where theyre placed next to desaturated neutralized colors

last

>>3585468
Which artist is that?

Somehow, drawing Terry Crews selling axe from memory just became the biggest milestone of my artistic life. I'm finally the artist people in highschool thought I was, now to go even further beyond

Id like to see other scenery you’ve done

Friend asked me to do some dnd shit, dont draw a lot, just need to know if its cringy.

>>3585588

I posted some WIP stuff earlier in the thread.

You can see some of my other stuff here:

https://www.artstation.com/justinsadur

Alays wanted to do a little Megaman fan art painting so I started one today! Whaddoya guise think? I don't normally do line art but I had a ton of fun doing this shit so I'll definitely practice it in the future because, as you might see, I don't have a fucking clue of what I'm supposed to be doing here. Anyways. This is going to be a painting so I don't really care about line quality in the end product. I mean, I care. But it's not like I care. Like teenagers. I'm drunk...

>>3585668

Forgot the file. Almos had it.. Shit happens.

>>3585663


Hha! I've seen you here before! As an over-arching tip, you should learn some color theory! Stop blending into black. Learn how ambient light/occlusion works and your pieces will be so much more powerful and dynamic. Still love what you're doing but I just think you need a little bit of practice. I was actually watching this channel today and I thought you might benefit from watching this shit as well...

I'd also say that you shouldn't use any human characters in your scenes before you really know how to draw human beigns. The ones where you have a human(oid) in focus are pretty good but the ones where they're just in the BG just feel like they're lazily done and detract from your nice landscape (pic related)...

>>3584480

>>3585432
>>3585442
Thanks. Not really using anything as an excuse just making a comment of other feedback I've received

>>3585669
Nice. You should consider moving the mouth a few pixels down

>>3585663
>>3585685
they're alright, remind me of 16 bit game backgrounds. I guess it's your style but I think you use hard edges and small brushes too often.

>>3585655
Not cringe, but relatively generic. Thrake looks far less expressive than diego. Whoever names them is possibly cringe.

Looks cool otherwise. I like it.
