Who posts in these threads other than humblebraggers

>>4189659
people who know that /draw/ is a complete Mess

>>4189659
I don't think that's their intention. Because of how hard it is to really gauge how good you are after not being beg anymore, this is the perfect middle ground with little pretense and as expected has produced very productive threads. Enough gay meta discussion post drawings

painting this from reference

>>4189659
Honestly I feel like a good third of posts is somewhat the opposite and consists of people who really are average in /beg/

>>4189707
The proportions look really off with regards to the head vs the shoulders. Your technique of applying colours is good, but the hair blends into the background far too much, making her head look askew and oddly shaped.

If you still have the reference, please post as it'll be easier to figure out exactly what's off.

How the fuck is this intermediate? You're all pro-tier gmi

>>4189965

>on the surface no obvious problems
>once you look closer, far from pro, maybe really good at some things but with large weak areas

that's what /int/ is for

>>4189965
Int is for people who are good, but not good enough to fully start making s living from art, none of these posts are pro level, you need to get on artstation and see what real pro art looks like because it's going to blow your fucking mind

>>4189965
>>4190111
Basicly this. This is also why you see so many /beg/ level posts here because they feel they aren't in the beginner tier after a few weeks/months. When in reality you're already in hundreds if not a few thousand hours before your in /int/ tier and you'll need thousands more to get out of it.

>>4189965
if you think those are pro, you are truly /beg/

Not quite finished, coming along though.
Thoughts?

Cool dude. Eyes are going off in different directions (compare the eye whites if you can't tell) and on the small side, could use darker darks for more contrast. Resize your image to around 1000x1000 jpg for ease of loading

This is nice. Maybe sharper edges or darker colours to define things a bit more? It looks slightly muddy,

idk

xddd 20-30 minutes guy I PROMISE i'm better then this, i'm just warming up!

>>4190823
You fucked it up.
Also anons work looks trash for the supposed 30 minute sketch crap.

>>4190828

My point is it's obnoxious and working artists rarely post how long they worked on a piece unless they're just doing it to show off or get kudos.

It's a weird thing in the online sketch culture where people are scared of being critiqued but at the same time as they get better they know they can brag to the less talented ones about how quickly they can sketch up a face.

In the real world no one cares how long it took you to do something. Sketches are sketches, don't people know that their primary purpose is to prepare an artist to do a painting whether in oils or photoshop. People online treat sketches as it's their bread and butter though.

>>4191084
rendering is good on the armor, but the skin is to cold and doesn't read as well as the reference. You fucked the face up but I'm sure you already know that. why pick such a low-resolution image as well? its so pixely. can you post the full image of your work so it can be critiqued properly. Are you hiding something?

>>4191120

i'll just refrain from posting and let this thread pile up with text posts instead of drawings if i have to let nosebro assess whether i have the right to post on a 4chan thread or not, big fucking cringe

whats about this un?

Fucking idiots.

My friend sat for some sketches today

>>4191694

>>4191694
Sounds like you need to create a ngmi general for yourself.

went to figure drawing today, this was a 1h30m pose

I should draw from imagination more often, really highlights areas I have problems with.
Really need to work on my hands.

Trying to get likeness down. I used triangulation for this then just painted and experimented with textures till I got tired. Any methods you anons use to get accurate portraits ?

>>4191840
just noodle. you can't get high levels of attractive detail without gritting your teeth and noodling in. and the harder you go now, the faster your renders will be in the future

>>4191792
90 mins in that pose? Model is a fucking champ.

grindin heads and starting hampton

So... hey, from /beg/.
Got assigned as Baseline /int/ tier from >>4190204
So, what exercise should I do to improve?
or should I grind more in /beg/?

>>4191901
>So, what exercise should I do to improve?
>or should I grind more in /beg/?
What the fuck do you even want to draw? What do you want your art to look like? Think about it first. People can tell you do this or do that but only you know what your next step should be

>>4191901
What are you bad at and what kind of work is your goal? I saw your stuff before and haven't seen color or much lighting/shade, got works with those? Tried environments before? Drawing with no refs? Extreme angles? Try to do difficult shit and you'll feel the pain in places where you need to improve. Trust me I know, I'm sore everywhere

>>4191907
I'll think of something, thnx!
>>4191914
Now that I think of it, I should draw backgrounds, angles, coloring, etc. Thanks for the advice!!

>>4191914
Oh yeah, and this is one without reference and coloring...

How’s this. I’d appreciate some pointers as I am new to procreate and don’t know how to paint

>>4192527
Go back to beg retard

>>4192510
It just looks too detailed for you to handle. Everything has a weird, flimsy texture and looks very inconsistent. In some places you attempt to go all in with realism, in other places you use abstractions, which leads to all kinds of problems. Example: The hair is literally drawn hair-by-hair. In the mouth region on the other hand, you use hatches for shading. The resulting effect is that I would assume she just has a very hairy mouth. There are other just weird looking places in the image, like the parting of the hair looks like somebody tried to cut off her scalp. Also the colors overall look wrong and lazy. Definitely work on the colors, especially the shadows. It's what ties the parts together, and right now it looks like it's patched together from different sources.

>>4192549
Sorry

>>4192510
don't paint individual hairs, instead suggest ribbons of hair with some suggestion of hair strands in areas of prominence. Individually rendered hairs will always look shitty at worst, and tacky at best.

>>4192527
I like the subject matter (historical figures), if you work your way up to competence it will stand out

>>4192549
Don't be mean
>>4192527
The idea and composition is good but you need to make less scratchy lines

Painted the Mona lisa

did a skin render study

>>4192537
for your friend

Another Study of clothing folds and cyberpunkesque fashion

It’s in a similar vein as another study I posted last week, I tried to push the contrast and detail, though I think I lost a certain abstraction from the previous one

>>4192915
There's nothing more drab than a digital figure study on a plain grey background. Why not take a few moments to add some color?

>>4192931
Jeez you sound like my mom

>>4189707
Illastrat improved!

So I never draw animals because they're hard.
You guys said I should start challenging myself more, so here I go..
drew a horse..

>>4193011
some good stuff happening in its head and back legs, but the front legs are very flat and not dynamic.

>>4192915
nice as always, but i do have to admit your drawings are very dark. is it a monitor issue? anyway i love the rendering on his jacket. head seems out of place tho, too much contrast compared to the rest of the figure, especially on his lips.

>>4192510
looks very traced. also never paint individual hair. plus what is happening on the top of her head? is it some kind of a scar?..

>>4192523
very scratchy, work on line confidence and loosening up. its also mostly very flat, too much thinking about the outline of shapes instead of thinking in 3d forms. i command your patience and willingness to draw multiple figures tho, keep it up.

>>4191840
absolute lack of reflected light and core shadow. get rid of pure black and start building that 3d form. also what is that asscrack below his neck?

>>4191834
very stiff. the perspective is not bad though, i really like how you drew the weapons. both feet should be larger, the front one especially.

>>4191737
>>4191731
i really dont understand how someone can uronically devote their life to drawing tits from reference. its not like you even try to implement the boob fetish into some character design. its just endless studies of tits. learn to construct hands for gods sake.

>>4191674
like someone else said, nice color notes. the main problem here is you didnt put enough stress on showing where the light source is. i like it though, has a lot of character. her right eye (so our left) looks very flat and out of place compared to her left one.

I honestly don’t even know if I wanna pursue drawing anymore, seems pointless

>>4193053
is it your own work or a study of someone else's drawing? if its your own then i dig the light/shadow pattern, i can see you've been studying. why does it seem pointless to you? i'd say the drawing is pretty solid. do you draw anything from imagination? if you do studies only it can drain the fun and satisfaction from drawing.

>>4190511
love these, really esp the subtle angularness to some of the lines
blog?

>>4192931
You edit looks great I have to say. But personally I’m a fan of muted colour schemes with accented colour rather than intense colour like this. I definitely need to work more interesting colour into my work in the future but I don’t think this is the way for me though.

>>4193029
Thanks, I think I just tend to start working at a low value and then get sort of acclimated to it and the work ends up looking very dark, definitely an issue for me and you’re not the only one to point it out.

I gave it a little colour adjustment, nothing drastic and it’s not brighter per se, but I think it looks at least a little more vibrant and not so drab, what do you think?

>>4193105
couldnt tell from the thumbnail but i placed the two versions next to each other and the new one looks definitely a lot better to me. its a slight change but does a lot of good to your work. maybe save it as an action you can apply quickly to your work in the future.

>>4193029
>The perspective is not bad though, i really like how you drew the weapons. both feet should be larger, the front one especially.
Thanks, yeah the feet are too small, didn't notice it while drawing but it's become apparant after sleeping on it a day.
>very stiff.
Hmm, I've tried to communicate solidity and immovability, I think stiffness is sort of inherent to that.
I'm happy to be proven wrong though.

Studying arm's in Hampton figure book. Going to do some torso studies tomorrow

>>4193117
these sketches are more dynamic and loose, i feel it in the drawing on the far right especially. they have less character but its because they're just studies. the issue with the drawing i called stiff is that it was a complicated pose/perspective in general and any errors you make will be much more visible in a pose like that. its very very good that you attempted something like that, just keep in mind that it will not look very good at first, but do continue doing complicated stuff. doing things slightly above your current level is one of the best things a student can do to improve faster.

>>4193119
some of the hatching/shading is out of place and inconsistent with the rest of the work and the perspective, i can see it on the heads for example. i know you didnt focus on these and just did it quickly but do try to always hatch/shade according to the form. it makes a great difference.

>>4193135
Thanks, I'll make sure of that tomorrow. I was mostly just trying to get the forms right, I wasn't thinking too hard on my shading. Sometimes my brain just goes automatic and shades something even though it's not correct. I need to work on that.

>>4192074
>Hard Round
So... how do I use this brush?

>>4193139
Paint with opacity and blend by sampling your low opacity mixed colours until you have the transition you want. But make sure you pay attention to edge control, that’s extremely important, and painting with hard round will force you to get better at it

>>4193139
Your drawing is excelling by the way I really envy your line work once you gestart better at paining technique you will be high /int/ for sure

>>4193141
>wot.gif
I'll... I'll try that
>>4193142
Thanks!!

>>4193125
Gotcha, yeah the barbarian was definately above my skill-level, I spent most of the time just trying to settle the pose and redoing things that looked way to awkward.
I really appreciate the feedback my man.

>>4193145
I like your style but I think you should avoid black for shadows, it’s kills the subtlety and mood I’m the rest of the lighting

>>4192510
Thumbnail is very deceiving

>>4193418
There's no black in this painting. Just dark color.

>>4193455
It’s so close it reads as black. This would be fine if used sparingly, this kind of value should generally be reserved for intensely dark shadow but here it is used interpreted with a mid tone with no transition or subtlety. the result is more or less the same as having used black.

>>4193145

Drew my favorite villain.

>>4194768
think about the folds as an element of the figure; now they look like random small elements scattered over him. they should change the outline of your form more drastically.

if you like this type of hatching, go crazier with it, dont make it so tiny. if you're good at something let people see it.

>>4194200
No, that's not me. It's super disconcerting that somebody's claiming the art I post to 4chan is their own, actually.

I didn't even have an instagram until I just made one to view their whole profile. Should I be flattered?

>>4194780
Thanks bro. Greatly appreciate the feedback.

Some Hampton torso studies, need to work on proportions more

I like to paint but designing irritates me, any suggestions?

>>4194829
blog???

>>4194812
damn that sucks

>>4194907
Don't have one unfortunately.

Sorry for barging in, there is no /beg/ on the front page.

>>4194892

What's wrong with it? I rather like your character, anon.

>>4194933
Nah, I made an Instagram, so I might as well post my art from 4chan to it.

>>4194987
It's repulsive and they don't look like they're enjoying it at all but I command you for finishing a piece

>>4195111
Why does it seem repulsive to you?

Made this for someone at /v/, will probably ink it tomorrow

I did a rather hasty value study of my OC. I probably should've spent more time fleshing it out but I really just wanted to pinpoint my biggest flaws when it comes to working with values in order to address them. I wanted to try to work with very little value variety and it turned out fine I guess. Next time I would probably try to have a bit more contrast though, if someone has any good value study resources, especially something really indebt I'd appreciate it.

>>4194812
wow, you're a famous person

>>4195156
Not by a long shot. Most of this art has only been posted to ic, which means the guy who's stealing my art is also from ic.

>>4195112
Do you want the long answer or the short one?

Short: I'm not your audience. I don't find dickgirls attractive
Long: I think appealing porn pictures start with characters' expressions and then their bodies. Bodies must be soft, inviting. Expressions need to be of pleasure. Your drawing just seems dead to me. Their faces say nothing, they're bored. Close their eyes, even partly -- maybe make them stare at each other's face, make it fucking intimate in a way. Where's the top girl's other hand? Why isn't she arching from pleasure? Where's the catgirl other hand? They're dolls, they have no weight or meaning to them; they just sit there

What I "see" that you just wanted to draw dick getting sucked, abs, and tits. I don't think it's bad, others WILL find it attractive/arousing. I just think there should be more to it then random body parts. If they're enjoying themselves they should register each other (and their own enjoyment) in a way, at the very least.

>>4195150
go to /beg/ and watch some bucci

https://youtu.be/BTYGWfiZnMA

Am I approaching constructing forms in the right way? I feel I understand it to an extent, but not really how each shape fits together or intersects. Am I lacking the anatomy knowledge to make it work?

>>4195186
I already watch bucci. He’s great and the vieos are fantastic but they are still short. There’s a reason I asked for very indebt resources about value work but all people ever shove down your troat is youtube videos. I mean why not books? Does anyone here read?

refs used

>>4194200
https://www.instagram.com/akirelll/ Now you've got the right person.

>>4195360
Yeah my dude. I'm at about your same stage so I'll reiterate what others have said to me:

Keep practicing and learning anatomy. Because you don't know enough anatomy you're only drawing what you're seeing and not "feeling" what's underneath, and practice wilp help you get better at translating what you know and see, to paper.

>>4194987
you put the penis on backwards

>>4195428
chapter five from steve hustons book and chapter about values from how to render (not the autistic cast shadow construction parts, just the elements of light and shadow). do studies of sphere, cube and cone in black and white first, create your own diagram of light/shade pattern on these so you can refer to them easily. then try to
implement your new knowledge to human figure, huston will help you. always stick to the light source direction and start thinking in core shadow/reflected light instead of shadow/light, it will change your art immediately

>>4195701
Random people won't be able to find your art at all if you don't put tags on them.

>>4195728
That's a vein.

>>4195802
I don't really care either way though, and going through 100+ posts and bloating them up with 16 different synonymous tags for "art", "girl" and "portrait" is entirely too much work.

This is a tidy collection I can give the occasional anon who inquires for a blog here and there. Otherwise I want nothing to do with Instagram.

painting from imagination is bad?

>>4195828
It is bad, go back to beg

>>4194968

When painting, do you guys turn shape/pressure off and just keep opacity/pressure on?

I find that if I'm too busy trying to control the size of my strokes at the same time i'm trying to paint I have a really hard time.

>>4195701
Thank you

Studying comparative anatomy might give you better impression of the muscle masses fitting together.

Finished for someone on /v/
First time using Clip Studio

>>4195845
in general yes, but opacity and flow on size makes a good brush for specific things, it also leaves a good stroke behind rather than just a round stroke, so there variation there.

Drew my friend

I'm not that good with backgrounds, any advice or idea?

>>4198530
If you can't expound on your ideas or opinions, then your ideas and opinions are just vacuous in the first place whether it's in regards to my art or anyone else's.

Why would I be crying about that? It's your problem, not mine. I told you to think a little.

>>4198608
If it looks off to me, you either go by your business and ignore the post or you try to take a step back and actually look at the drawing. And you are crying about it because its a measly opinion that you are throwing a tantrum over. That's the problem here, It's not even about the drawing anymore. You are making a big scene of an opinion and you still cant get over it, lets see how far this goes.

>>4198661
>taking issue
Yes you're stirring up a tantrum which = crying over a comment/opinion. Glad you know 1+1 = 2.

>>4198770
I don't think you know what a tantrum actually is. It's super obvious that you think attempting to reduce simple scrutiny and critical inquiry to a "tantrum" somehow undermines the fact that you're contributing exactly zero to a community that's intended for constructive criticism.

Checkmate. Just stop replying. That's about the only meaningful thing left for you to do here.

>>4198770

>>4198829
>>4198831
Again you are being a massive baby about an opinion and keep passing it off as a crit. You are just the most defensive person to infest this board.

>>4199257
And once more im not changing my opinion about the hatching that really just ruins the drawing. You clearly need to spend some praticing what looks good and what looks awful because you are doing a terrible job at it.

Not really, if you go to /beg/ and look at the quality of studies there it is much lower. /beg/ is fun with a pencil chicken scratching and flat anime.

Also the diagonal nature of the background is very intentional, when read from left to right in the western style it would invoke rising/overcoming, not falling.
I understand the scarf’s values, I thought about touching it up but wanted to move on to a new painting. The rest I’m having trouble understanding, not being defensive but I like the values on his face and can read them fine squinting.

i dont understand what these mentals are sperging about. /draw/ is a mix of everything, lots of confused begs. theres no way someone thinks all posts there are pro. so its not like theres a strict hub structure to begin with. why cant this thread just exist in peace, why cant all of you just shut up and post art or just shut up and leave. last thread was so nice, now this one is infected with trolls

>>4199388>>4199388
i gave you logical and essential crit. its your decision to apply it or keep doing it wrong. whether you’re in denial doesnt interest me so no need to answer me.

>not being defensive
you are being very defensive

you cant see any value structure in the painting period, you cant see where the light is coming from, theres no reflected light, theres pillow shading on the scarf. either work on it or gtfo

back to beg with you

protip when beg artists finally make a decent drawing you'll think it's the best thing in the world. its not. now return to beg and improve. this thread is fucken hilarious

>>4199696
Fuck off crab, everyone was fine with the thread until you gatekeeping retards showed up. You all type like idiots too.

>>4199573
>I understand some of your crit, but not all of it and will try to apply what I can
>being defensive
Ok faggot.
This board is so full of angry pricks I swear, there’s no way people with this much bitterness could have artistic ability.

>>4199776
This.
This INT thread was the only one even alive to post drawings in, if it’s a containment thread then fuck off to wherever you post your flawless masterworks and leave us to work on getting better.

Huh, the previous threads were very productive. How come now there's a bunch of fags showing up to shit on it?

>>4199696
>when beg artists finally make a decent drawing
Motherfucker I bought my own car at 16 using only money from selling paintings.
I know there’s plenty of room to improve, but beg? Who hurt you?

>>4199799
I mean admittedly he's correct on half of them.
I'd vote for more tiered threads but it would just become a diluted mess.

>>4199799

>>4199793
because these drawings are not 'intermediate'

>>4199892
oh god she reminds me so much of someone i know irl but i dont know who, im gonna have a stroke over it for the next 3 hours.

anyway great drawing, blog? i like how you switch between the kind of shading on her neck and soft rendering like on her face

I feel like I need to polish up the leaves, but I'm ok with it for right now (crit would still be appreciated esp with the colors). also I've been trying to branch out into more environmental design/storytelling but I'm not sure what resourced to use. If anyone could suggest tutorials and videos that'd be appreciated

>>4199949
If you ask me, I think the yellow doesn't feel like part of the whole composition, too saturated
Just a comment

>>4199892
this is the best looking pic on /ic/ in a long time and you post it in /INT/.

You guys ever get tired of the taste of your own dicks?
Are we supposed to be impressed by posts that serve no purpose apart from self-gratification?

Theres a lot of people that belong more to /beg/ than to /int/ cause it's relatively new and people are trying to figure out if they belong here or not. It's gonna even out.
I've been posting in /beg/ for about half a year with nothing to show for it, except for comments telling me to get out of /beg/
However when I posted anywhere else they also told me to get the fuck out.
I can't help but think that /int/ exists in part because of gate-keeping retards like you.

>>4199892
fiora is french not asian

>>4199980
yeah when I repainted it a second time the yellows were a lot more muted. pic related was the first time I painted over.

>>4200148
for some reason i really love the way you painted the leaves. very cute drawing

new drawing, tell me what ya think /ic/. i screwed the perspective on the vehicle big time lol. also do you think its too dark? my monitor is crap and i never see anything correctly

I can see you're trying and have all the right ideas, good job.
But you either forgot about the oblique shapes(the side abs muscules) or underpronounced them.
She has some kind of empty void in between her rectus abdominis and the pelvic bones where in reality some sides would be.

just finished this. i only like how i shaded it from the chest up :/

Posting a trio of pet commissions I worked on this week, don't really like them that much because I don't like doing pet portraits but I did the best I could with the source material and budget

this is nice but absolutely horrifying

>>4201696
Haha shit. Horrifying in what sense?

>>4201702
its not, theyre cute, i love them.
third dog's nose looks a little flat, like its a black "hole" without any highlights, but apart from that all look great. cat > black dog > brown dog for me

>>4201702
it's more apparent with the dogs
i think it's the dark ligthting and focus on the face (blurred body) it makes them feel very up-close - and those dogs have those deep-set dark eyes
first one especially looks like some monster

i dunno maybe it's just me

>>4201709
Thanks, you're right about the brown dogs nose, might go and give it a second pass before I send it over.

It's funny the brown dog is my favourite and black dog is my least, but that's probably due to what a heard time I had with him, the refs were really hard to work with but I tried to adjust it to have have more appeal in the end. So I'm glad you like it even if I don't haha.

>>4201710
Agreed tbf, but when working with grainy phone refs this is the best I could pull off. First one especially looks like a sort of yeti monster haha, but I find it cute in a way.

He sort of reminds me of the dog creature from The Black Cauldron actually

>>4201720
also one more thing about the first one
i think you made his fur around the nose too shiny, almost looks like tentacles

>>4201725
Maybe the highlights are too tight, thanks for pointing it out, I'll have another look at it

>>4201695
this one looks fantastic
Too good for /INT/ in my opinion.

>>4201730
It's my favourite too, definitely not too good for Int but I'm flattered you would say so

>>4192510
dont trace retard

>>4199282
I don't think "int" as a level really exists. You're either good enough for people to go "hey that guy can draw" or you're not. It's pretty binary. And once you've passed that threshold you don't need to post all your studies on /ic/ and have people give you advice, because you'll just already be doing the original work you want to do.
People want multiple levels because they want to be able to announce that they're making progress, but the painful truth is that being a /beg/ last years, and there's not really much between "beg" and "gud".

>>4202015
the only painful thing here is your anus. i have multiple people irl tell me they love my art but thats just because they're non artists and i know i still have a lot of progress to do. just leave this thread alone already

>>4202015
This is really not true, the difference is painfully obvious. Beg art is riddled with obvious flaws that seriously take away from the quality of the work and makemit difficult to even take seriously, but it's okay because it's just practice. Int is basically the level where your work isn't dramatically flawed, you have established some basic level of personal stype, but your work is simply not finessed enough to sell or really create high quality pieces of art.

That being said I don't advocate for shitting on beginners from posting here, they're shooting themselves in the foot because they are much more likely to get feedback on their work in /beg/ since their work doesn't stand out like a sore thumb as terrible.

And the benefit of /Int / is that higher level posters can share their art and advice without being overlooked by beginners.

>>4189658
Thanks for making that the thread image. Here's another one. Took way too long to finish.

>>4202117
You should have taken longer.

>>4190511
Looks really good, but avoid using soft brush on the exterior lines of your characters, it gives drawings an ethereal, wiggly, "unfinished" look

>>4200702
Very nice

>>4200702

>>4201684
>You can't make hips wider than the pre-defined limit that I've set for you! Exaggerating anatomy is illegal!
???????

what do you think

>>4200702
Where are her organs?

I posted this in draw thread and nobody replied, is it bad? I am in a phase of simpler brushwork and simpler features, I like it but if it's bad, let me know

>>4203019
I don't think it's that bad, it's a little plain though. You should learn to render hair, never show single strokes like that, it looks dirty and doesn't give information on the form, look for the big masses of value first and do finer rendering later.

From photo

>>4203043
s-source?

painting is awesome though, good job

(I'm serious about that source, amigo)

>>4203019
It looks great, ditto on rendering hair (think of hair as a uniform mass rather than a bunch of strands) And then break it up later. I'm personally a fan of this very soft and subtle painting style that you have but you might want to consider pushing your values a little more, at least have some more dark ambient occlusion and highlights just to push the dynamic range a little.

>>4203059

fucking based, thank you anon.

>>4203306
Poison from Street Fighter?

>>4203421
No, my own character, but far out, there are some similarities for sure! I wasn't aware of her, they even both have pink hair (though my PC's hair is a much paler shade), I think my OC might not be quite so thicc though, Poison thicker than refrigerated peanut butter.

>>4203113

Thanks anon. A nigga wood like a tree in dat bitch.

Nice study btw. I think you should pay extra attention to the rims on her face though. Some of the lights on the inner parts feel a little too hot and make her look a tiny bit 2-dimensional.

>>4203442
Wow, haha, the pink hair even, funny coincidence. Yeah, I noticed even the shoulder strap hanging over the arm. Anyways, she looks good dude, keep it up!

>>4203019
yes its bad, stop trying to look for validation and use your own damn eyes.

>>4203466
Thanks anon, got a fair bit to go with the pick, theres going to be another character in the frame, and a BG as well, and I'll probably ink it too.

Any tips for getting likeness other than grinding portraits and bargue plates? I think I know enough about anatomy/form that its believable but all my measurements are just slightly off.

>>4203793
Your observation is a slightly off and your value range is too narrow. Your thirds of the head are measured accurately enough, all that is left is to get the shapes correct.

Had a hard time with this one, i don't even know if anything makes sense in it so far. If anyone can point out something or give some advice id like to hear it.

I didn't draw this, but I commissioned it. Is it as amazing as I think it is, anons?
I'll be honest, I have nobody to show it off too except for /ic/.

Phoenix fucking Wright

Could push your values a bit more. He's a miner right? Get some shadows in there to make him pop out a bit more.

>>4203043
It looks great, render looks nice. I'm wondering how much you can push it by make the shadows even more darker? Make it pop out a bit more.

Some animal drawings from Quickposes

>>4203916
You're not beg. The nose is off though.Wrong perspective.

>>4203043
check your facial planes, we shouldn't be able to see that much of the right eye. ear could also use some work, it's attachment looks unnatural and conflicts with the positioning of the rest of the features

How can I soften the edges easily? For example on top of the cranium using photoshop.

>>4199282
I'm just curious but if these are all /beg to you then what do you consider to be /int? I would say some of these are indeed more beg than int but that's definitely not all of them. I think it's rather unfair to judge a lot of the art here anyway, because most of them are either studies, wips or just mere doodles and none of those are usually meant to be artistic masterpieces. Especially in studies where the whole point is to learn to draw things you're bad at.

>>4202117
hair could use more work, feels too disjointed in the brushwork, especially her right side. Love the face thou

Finished dis, I guess I've got a little bit tired in the end so hands and legs are somewhat half-assed.

>>4206069
The eye placed that way in reference too. I agree that it looks kinda weird but I've even overlayed photo on study and the eye in the same place as on photo

photo study

>>4206334
mixer brush or smudge or airbrush

>>4206357
thats just the point, i think the whole idea of an /int/ thread is stupid.

>>4199688
blessed post

>>4202924
are you retarded?

>>4206766
fuck off then you don't have to look at the thread.

>>4206678
interesting take on light.

>>4200702
blog?

What is the point coming here from /beg/ if you're only going to post drawings from references? They are far easier and you can look like you know what you are doing, while not being better than /beg/. Pic related, it is better than /beg/, but it is a reference, so it hardly belongs anywhere else other than in my own files.

>>4206793
no

Looks good so far anon, liking the simple shapes for the hands.

Maybe you can shift her right arm, a little to the right and add a bit more foreshortening to it, especially if she's pulling on her right butt cheek.

>>4191084
fuck off this is both the offical art for io from paladins youre not the one that drew these splash arts

>>4191219
the top one is a paint over a 3d model anyways
and yes theyre hiding something this is offical paladins art :/

another from photo. still trying to get painting

>>4189658
I can portray stuff as I see it, do badly some basic construction for characters or simple objects, understand the basic idea of pigment on paper, warm cold, bright dark, detail or no detail.

How do I learn the techniques that people from art schools use? I'm in eastern europe so the meme about Russian art schools is true here. They do everything mechanically, from memory, render everything in a very similar way, and very quickly sometimes at expense of looking at the subject.

/beg/ doesn't know anything.

Did some sketches for a dnd game of some PCs

>>4212681

>>4212682
Also doodled around while I was writing in my notebook

>>4212690

WIP, very much stuck on the shirt's shading. Feels off, and can decide how to fix it. The same problem with the horns. Any critiques are welcome. Also, i'm very new to this board, idk if this belongs here.

>>4212728
Light it from the bottom because that's where the light source is, and shade from the top

>>4212728
Don't be afraid to push your values, especially in the horns. I can see you start out that way (legs, arm0 but when you break get further in with shading, I think you lose the contrast. I would push the colors too and cool down the shadows.

I'm not sure what kind of clothes she's wearing. Is it a one shoulder dress, or one of the straps just fell down her arm? If it's the latter, add more volume to the folds. Figuring out the clothing style will really help when defining the shadows. All those folds you rendered aren't helping much either. I would tone them down, at first at least.

How do I improve?

>>4213584
Immediately noticed fucked up chin, fixed now.

>>4195444
Love the shapes, it thumbnails very nicely. I think the inside of her right eye is a little off? But outside of that I like it.

>>4213582
Thank you for the advice! Tried to apply it, will definitely rework this over the next few days, though. I do tend to lose contrast while rendering, something I need to work on. Also, her shirt is off her shoulder, it's not "supposed" to be like that, but it's not reading correctly. I'll try and fix that going forward.

>>4203813
Retard here, but what does thirds mean?

Day 3 of my portrait challenge

I'm gonna have to finally learn how to draw hands if I wanna finish this but other than that please tear it apart.

>>4214223
Overall it's not bad. I'm not a huge fan of the face but if that's your style, then keep going with it. Figure out how to make it more appealing. You have all those flowing curves in the legs, but it looks like you're tensing up in the arms and body a bit. Could be just focusing too much on getting the details right. I would try keeping it loose.
