Also: OP fucked up the thread Edition.
Some fanart.
on first glance i thought she was holding a dick. cleaner lines would be nice and her dick holding hand needs a bit of love (looks kinda off).
put "draw thread" in your op title next time so people can ctrl+f it, op

okay drawing except for the hand, the flat ponytail, her ear, the floating feathers, the forearm pretruding too far into the bicep for that position, her mouth, and her tits
thinking of the black thing being some kind of monster
can i ask for critique in this thread? maybe a redlining?
recently finished this base for a treehouse

im back drawing my hands. its slow going right now but i should pick up the pace this week with them.
>>2293735
keep it up man
>>2293734
ugly
>>2293757
the painting on the girls face, you are on to something very good. work more on it.
plz halp me. how do i make this better
>>2293756
I like the way you drew the hands there..it's like you have a really great "grasp" (ohohoho) on how to draw hands. And your crosshatching/hatching is really beautiful, you seem to hit all ranges of light and dark, and it seems like you aren't afraid to do so. Your linear ones are great too.
>>2293787
Please don't feed the monster.
>>2293781
Forgive me, if her jaw is actually like that (because the "correction" might be biased, but here is what i think would help.
Left is edit, right is original
>>2293792
Without even having seen the reference, I can say this is wrong. Real people don't have animu jawlines, and I say this as a total weeb. The only thing I can figure is there may be some alignment issues with the eyes, and it's possible the jaw could be a little smaller on the right but all in all I think the picture is fine and anything else would just be nitpicking. Better to just finish it up and move on at this point.
>>2293792
>not understanding how a head is constructed
Back to symbols for you.
>>2293797
man....my eyes must be so skewed then...heheh, thanks for telling me this and HIM that, in case he is still here. you are right, it does look finished, he might end up ruining it with xtras added around.
>>2293798
yeah no kidding..it's funny looking at my "correction" now though.
>>2293799
Yeah I thought about separating that part by linking back to his original post but I figured it was still only one degree of separation, he'll probably see it.
>>2293767
thanks, that's what i was going for
>>2293734
Damn, this is neat. I feel like if it were me, i would turn all those random roots and shapes into human figures. I think that's what I like about this picture though, it looks like they SHOULD be human figures, but they're not. I'm sure you could make them humans if you wanted. I don't know, that's just what I think would be cool.
This is super super early. There's going to be another figure in the background doing something, and there's going to be some waves sloshing up and maybe snow. Just curious what you guys think of her pose/the general colors
>>2293867
I swear to fucking christ images are darker on 4chan than they should be. I lightened this thing twice.
>>2293860
These are mostly good. But if we're to number them top left to bottom right:
1: This looks all sorts of messed up, from this angle the nose should be higher. Generally that little line that denotes the start of the bridge of the nose should start near the top of the eye lid, so viewing it at this angle, It should be higher. And thus the nose 'triangle' should be higher up as well. If you look up at people's faces the visible length of the nose is almost always shorter than you'd expect (if this makes sense. Sooo in this picture the top line of the nose triangle should at least be level with just above the bottom of the eye ball....
Fuck this I'm just going to do a paint over brb
>>2293860
Kapow
>>2293792
It looks like she has a strong jaw, that is to say it looks correct. That edit looks horrifying. If anything You could shrink it down a few degrees without changing its shape and it might look better.
>>2293867
This is solid bruh, but it depends on what the second figure is doing.Everything in it so far leads to that focal point on the left. Love the mood already
>>2293888
Most useful redline I've ever gotten on /ic/, thanks anon! I'll redo them in a few days with reference to yours and asaro head photodumps I have.

Would appreciate any critque on this one.
>>2293690
I like it so far. Thumbnail looks interesting.
>>2293753
Dang, looks awesome.
>>2293954
>may be panty-house
this is more valuable than your drawing
>>2293986
There's no focal point really. What is the point of your painting?
>>2293978
That's nice
>>2293993
I was thinking of putting something in there but idk what changed my mind.
current wipwop
>>2293993
>>2293995
yeah, i think this is usually the reason concept art tends to have that tiny silhouetted figure somewhere on it, to give the piece a focal point and some kind of narrative.
I'm working on a comic for school. Thoughts?
>>2294058
>>2294059
put mohammed in it
>>2294083
Thats haram you infidel
>>2293808
you sure, because it has the consistency of a huge veiny dick than a tree.
>>2293792
Thanks anon, had a good laugh
>>2293735
Cool planar qualities. Couldn't read it from the thumbnail though because of how the light values of the hair blends in with her skin.
>>2293757
This has a nice vibe to it even at this early stage. Do you have a refined drawing that you're working off of? If not- I really suggest you to. When I'm working with traditional mediums I realized what a big difference having a good drawing makes. It really takes a lot of guesswork out of it, and makes the process less painful. It's something that's super easy to ignore with digital, where you can always revisit and revisit and revisit, but I think that flexibility can be a disadvantage as much as an advantage.
>>2293781
It looks pretty good to me. Good craftmanship. Very obviously from a photo, of course, which is kinda awkward. But overall good job. Some more lost edges would be nice, working more wet. Now apply your knowledge to an illustration :)
>>2293867
This is great! Reminds me of Tomer Hanuka in the best way possible. Colors are nice and tasteful. Maybe some rimlighting on the figure could give it a wee bit more impact- just a suggestion.
**
I finished this.
Any suggestion before I start coloring.
>>2294200
Yes, don't.
You've spent more time on this than you already should have - you're polishing a turd.
>>2294216
what makes this a turd ?
>>2294097
yeah i'm cool with that
>>2293839
thanks, yeah that would work quite well.
>>2294200
i think maybe just fix up the hand a bit, give the fingers a little bit more volume and variate their pose a bit more.
>>2294221
It's just kindof lifeless. There's no pizzaz to his pose
>>2294284
Personally I could forgive the lifeless pose if at least the perspective and construction were right.
>>2294200
What the fuck's going on with his head, it's flat as a pancake.
What the fuck's going on with his arms, even accounting for perspective, the one in the back looks way too long in the forearm
what the fuck's going on with the vinyl needle, it looks like spaghetti. His scratching hand looks broken.
For a piece where the character is the main focus, you don't seem to have given much thought to his anatomical construction.
>>2294252
>>2294284
>>2294300
>>2294308
Thank you for your input I will try my best to the problems.
>>2293405
r8 pls and recommend some cool colors for background... or any kind of pattern...
>>2294316
>>2294326
yeah, yeah... I get what ya saying...
Coloring is one of the things I need to fix in future illustrations.
tried to do that maid outfit, but I cant find proper refs of tiny details, moreover, I dont even know their names
>>2294314
*fix the problems.
>>2294316
boring pose 2.5/10
bonus points for ass
>>2294316
I like the position of her right arm and head, back is ok too. Left arm is hyper stiff like oh my god I feel if it were any more ridged her tendons would snap her arm backward. Her legs seem too straight too. I'd give her a wider stance.
>>2293867
Is the guy's pose too samey or does it work?
Also is the small lamp thing too distracting? I'm thinking it's a really cold environment (I know I could better portray that with her posture but oh well..) so i thought she might have a little fire thing to keep her hands warm. What if I put it somewhere else?
>>2294179
great job! it looks really good
>>2294463
I like it. Imo, it's small enough to not distract the eyes and still add some subtle "light" to the piece.
>>2294463
I think the lamp works. It's another extension of the triangular composition you've got.
You're probably gonna fix the pebbles but just in case, the ones approaching the viewer dont gradually grow in size enough, making the two on the lower left look a bit jarring.
I really like this, though. Especially the tilted profile of the woman.
I want to try something that's probably going to fail horribly. Someone name an animal and an element (water, air, etc)
>>2294483

>>2294486
Nice, thanks.
Been awhile since I've drawn some fanart
>>2294490

>>2294490
awesome!
>>2294490
heh - I JUST pinned this on pinterest, and I was about to draw it. I guess you beat me to it...
I like what you did with the shoes
Sketch before going into linework and paiting. Values are off, but i wont use them anyway, just wanted to see it roughly before commiting.There will be third one in series also.
>>2294179
see the potential. Nice movement and composition, but i dont like the rendering of skill. "grainy" rendering dosnt really work on pretty-girls bodies.
>>2294051
LOVE the colors and mood. Keep it up.
>>2293757
very nice
>>2293690
interesting usage of red, i really like it from miniature.
>>2294555
rendering on skin*
>>2294555
this is a good drawing... and yet... I can't really tell what it is of??
>>2294562
fucking stay in the beginner thread seriously fuck off.
>>2294051
continued! i guess i'll start tying it down more from here.
>>2294555
thanks! your piece has got some really nice line work going on, and the designs are pretty neat. i have to agree with the anon above in regards to the second drawing-- i'm can't really tell what it is yet!
I dunno how well it's turning out but I'm having fun painting it.
Hey this is the dry bowser guy from last draw thread, I got pictures of the other contestants' works but there was only like 4 other entries and 2 were by the same person. Not sure if it's worth making a thread out of it if I should post them here or what, anyone interested in a small thread to judge this?
>>2294717
I wanna see em but with there being so few it probably isn't worth a new thread but it's not like we've had an abundance of great threads lately. I say you just make one anyway so we can look at em all and talk about em. Even if it doesn't take up that much, I'd rather not take up that many from the draw thread, and I didn't see any other threads where it looked like it'd fit.
>>2294467
>>2294555
Thanks! Yeah the skin didn't get as smooth as I wanted. It's part faulty technique, part the grain of the Burnt Umber pigment, and also part .jpg artifacts.

Here's a quick and rough Fallout sketch, done digitally for once. It's a nice break from watercolors, but most of the time the slickness of digital just puts me off and reminds me why I switched to watercolors.
>>2294605
alright
>>2294721
Aright man just a warning they're all pretty lack luster.
>>2294463
try flipping the green guys pose so he is crouching facing the girls pose, so it creates a tighter composition, right now the work has a strong left wise narative, as if something important is to the left. if the green guy was facing more towards the female this would set a scene within the framing that adds importance to the set.
right now my eyes are lost to the left.
>>2294605
calm down
>>2294757
I wish I could articulate why this is a bad suggestion. Intuitively I know it's wrong but I can't think of how to say why. It might be that I'm falling asleep right now. There were actually a shit ton of typos in this very post that I've had to go back and correct and even this sentence too, damn. Anyway I just want op to know at least one person votes against this.
>>2294760
so..
>its wrong, i can't explain why but it is.
>im also tired and can't think straight.
You are not making your point very strong.
I on the other hand am very rested, have perfect motor skills and given detailed reasons behind my opinion.
But it was merely a suggestion, i might flip the character myself to see the effect right now.
Its totally up to OP seeing as it is his image, it just feels very weighted to the left even though a majority of the drawing is on the right.

seriously though I'm really liking where this is going because I just love goats
>>2294463
Dunno about guys ducking on their toes, we usually avoid that imo, as only very skinny guys can do it efficiently, their legs nicely pack together and they can even set their heels down in that pose, providing more support. I'd rather kneel or something if it was for a longer period than 20 seconds as it gets hard on the calves.
>>2294334
you again! I see you've improved on tiddies. congradulatron

beginners shouldn't really be critiquing about things they really have no solid understanding of.

you need to do figure studies of actual women, i recommend doing 500 2 min studies, this will take you about 3 days with breaks if you apply yourself. after that you will have a sound understanding to the beginning of hard work.
after that you might want to read any book by loomis or glen vilppu.
if you cant achieve doing 500 figure studies i seriously recommend visiting the beginners thread, as that is the designated paddle pool for shits who can't apply themselves.
>>2294789
>you need to do figure studies of actual women, i recommend doing 500 2 min studies
Not him, but is there a place where you can get the material needed (ie references with lots of different perspectives and poses) you'd recommend?

gods speed anon.
>>2294769
much better, definitely think this works best
>>2294724
That mouth bro
>>2294769
Hmmm. I'm definitely not against this composition, it does work better I think. I'm just not sure how to spin it in such a way that still captures what I was going for.
I've done a few pictures with these characters and I wanted to show with this one how non-plussed he is toward her. He almost acts like she isn't there and so gutting some fish in the water she's using just doesn't phase him.
It was going to take place on a rocky beach with the ocean to the left and he was supposed to be looking off into nothingness but maybe if I put a little stream or something running between them.
AH decisions decisions
Wip, anything looking like complete garbage and need fixing?
did i do it right?
>>2294822
tower thing looks like penis w cum but that's not always a mistake
>>2294778
b-begginner? I've been doing digital art for 6 years bruv. I didn't draw the pic btw, just fixed the colours :/
>>2294846
not that anything would be wrong with this, but you seem to be a little bit fixated on phalic shaped objects. the tower looks nothing like a penis with cum.
>>2294822
dat sci-fi sphere :3
>>2294859
Add a floating sphere to any landscape and it instantly becomes 10 times better
>mfw /ic/ says dont work with outlines
Still need to fix the ellipses.
>>2294459
>>2294460
Thanks for the tips anons.
I'm still going to check this thread for more suggestions.
Regarding the boring pose I agree with you both. But that wasn't my main focus with that drawing. I made that just to have something to paint. I'm kinda trying to evolve my painting skills.
That character is actually an original character that I created.
I just felt like doing a more detailed paint job.
>>2294883
much better anon 7.5/10
tho i'd recommend to either let the eyes follow the blade or the blade follow the eyes but thats up to you. also minus points for no ass.
>>2294890
wait i should've read your post first
copy of bed on the loft by anders zorn
I almost never do full color because I'm not comfortable with colors. I don't know how far I should be pushing things.
>>2294932
Start using colors.
The best way to learn how to color is to actually try coloring.
You aren't going to evolve or learn if you keep avoiding it.
>>2294817
hey im the 2 cents guy, you could have him facing "away diagonal right" if you know what i mean, like he is letting her exist next to him but is not totally ignoring her, but at the same time wanting his space.
i just think that this composition better explains that there is a connection between the characters other than her stumbling upon his fishing grounds.
>>2294774
Hey thanks for the crit anon. I like what you did with the colors! It's a bit lighter than I want to go for, with what I have in mind for the background though, and I just really want that greenish tint to it. About the brush I dunno what to say really, I'm using a hard round on 100% opacity, only 50% flow, but I'm not too worried about the spacing, it usually gets smoothed out as I build on it. Sorry the pic was too big as well, I did shrink it but not enough I guess, hopefully this one is better. Lastly, I hope you're not disappointed but I'm not painting this for the love of goats, it's just because some anon suggested a goat, heh. But they are pretty great. Anyway thanks again, I may still use something from yours, probably something in the way you did the spot around the eye.
>>2294786

I don't draw animals often so yeah I know the block-in wasn't great but I don't think it's all that serious. Thanks anyway, though.

>>2294771
beginner thread, probly 3.5/10 maybe 4. Try learning to draw things without using symbol drawing and try making your faces more cubic. All in all, go read a sticky or use a reference and then try it at a different angle.
>>2294843
no, of course not, you lost all flow most likely, as well as the link between her neck and breasts is wrong, just superpose your image and the original and youll see where you fucked up. I dont have you ref so i can only guess at the mistakes from what I see, so next time link your ref as well.
>>2294882
stop using grids and blindly copying lines and go learn some form read sticky.
>>2294883
broken neck,attachment on her right leg is a little off, other than that its mostly neat proportion wise, id suggest a study to learn the details of anatomy as opposed to the gist because you got it down.
>>2295153
His pose feels a bit off. Try holding some things in your hands that are equivalent to what he is holding (broom, hamper lid, whatever is lying around) and walk around feeling how you move your arms and legs and torso. Look in a mirror as you walk. You will find lots of things about the pose this way.
Also the rimlight is very boring at the moment, it is too much an outline. Think about the planes it hits. Will it be narrower in some places? broader in other? brighter on a part? darker in another?
Why is he in his boxers? If he were heading to battle he likely would have at the very least some sort of heavy wool clothing for protection. Maybe a helmet or some mail. The shield would be placed more over his forearm too. And he should have some hair probably too. You've removed everything from him and now there is nothing to your image.
>>2295162
Thanks for the tips anon
>>2293986
How did I do this time?
>>2295256
forgot to resize
>>2295261
foreground is too dark.
>>2294463
In the original image you posted, I had thought she was going to be looking at something in the distance approaching or signalling etc. That would have been my preference.
But then, I have a thing for wide spaces and minimal clutter.
>>2295285
Really? I thought it was alright. Welp, gonna keep that in mind for my next painting.
>>2295261
Looking good the color harmonies work well together.
It might feel like a more accomplished piece with a more interesting focal point though.
>>2295313
Kinda hard to put anything in there now but thanks nonetheless!
>>2293753
How do i lighting like this? Extra hard light layer or just simply local values?
>>2295291
That was my original idea. THe guy was going to be strolling toward her out of the water carrying a huge sack of fish. but to be honest I just really wanted to paint him up close so I could show what he looks like.
I also love wide open spaces, but not at the expense of having the character be tiny and undefiled.
>>2295363
The overall picture and composition is more important that a single part. Don't sacrifice the whole image for the sake of painting more detail on a character you like.
>>2294334
>>2295414

You just gotta learn reflectivity.
There is all that green but nothing reflected on the armor.
Although it should probably have some rust if its been there that long
>>2295424
yeyeyeye
I know just waiting till I get the base down to do all that fancy doo dah shit
for science purposes
i started the bargue plates. I only have them on cheap computer paper, i think i need to spend the $60 and get the actual book. It's hard sight-sizing them when they are so small, and it wants you to hatch.
it came out alright. it's a start.
>>2295094
I think this is coming together fairly well for being a random exercise. At least I got as far as blocking in some kind of background this time. I don't think I'll spend too much more time trying to polish this one, I would rather save that effort for redoing it with a more interesting pose and composition. Still, I'd be interested to hear what I could improve if I were to do it over.
>>2295354
Thanks :)
its just a solid in linear dodge mode
>>2295450
got a blog?
Daily study
Still working on this Undyne, though I'm frustrated with it and I don't know why.
>>2295516
probably because someone just broke her nose
>>2295516
You're pissing yourself off with those pockets of details in the nose.
Don't even know why you drew her with one desu. She's a fish monster anon.
>>2295494
Neat. Thanks!
>>2295497
No, not yet. Maybe when I got better.
>>2295516
Oh man I was hoping you would post again. Someone requested Undyne wearing Ma Chao or whatever from Dynasty Warriors helmet/headress thing and after I drew the rough outline it occurred to me I might have accidentally copied you. I hoped you'd post again so I could compare em and yeah I think it might be too close. Sorry about that dude, I hope you don't mind, it was totally subconscious. Anyway I really like the way you did the abs on yours but yeah, you should get rid of the nose, I don't think she normally has one in her sprite art.
>>2295455
Are you using charcoal?? Use a pencil.
>>2295615
the book suggests charcoal. and i need charcoal practice anyways
>>2295612
It looks sick man, you got a blog?
Honestly, It's a generic powerful pose for polearm users, so I don't really connect the two in my head. I'd love to see this colored if you decide to keep it.
I was debating between keeping it smooth, giving her just the two nostrils or giving her a really sharp and upturned nose. Right now keeping it smooth seems to be looking good
>>2295618
It specifically states "...you should not use it [charcoal] as a beginner without instruction; the use of charcoal presents too many difficulties to solve by yourself."
If you insist on using charcoal then I would suggest you work at a much larger size. Also the book's reproductions are not that much larger actually. The book even suggests scanning the plates and printing them larger at a print shop.
>>2295644
Thanks dude, I'm glad you're not just pissed lol. When I realized it I was like oh fuck but like you said, it's just such a go-to sort of stance for someone holding a spear, even in the reference of the Dynasty Warriors guy he was standing similarly. I'm glad this came up anyway though because I hadn't considered what to do with that part of her face either. I like the idea of like some nostril slits, I might try it, now that I won't have to throw this out. It's just for a drawthread request anyway. I do like it thus far though so I was planning on rendering it but I suck so much with color, so we'll see how that goes. As for a blog well... I do have one but it's just full of really goofy fanart and cartoony shit right now. I'm thinking I might start another page for more artistic, I guess, things. Anyway, I'm glad you're still working on yours because I liked your initial sketch a lot and I like where it's going. I'll continue this one, and we'll meet back up here & share.

that sounds expensive... but i really want charcoal practice so maybe that's the way to go
>>2295709
If you just want practice with charcoal just go to some life drawing with it and some 18x24 newsprint.
Henry Yan's book also covers a little bit on different types of charcoal and different ways to use it.
Was working of a reference photo of a model and lost the file. Shadow side of the face is mainly guesswork - is there anything particularly off?
I was thinking Yoshitaka Amano all the way when I came up with this. I just need to figure out a name, preferably something Arabic/Persian and with a violent meaning. Thoughts on the jewelry? I was trying to go for something like Xerxes, so I'm sure there could be a better way to accessorize him.
>>2293735
I like how even though this is abstracted, there's still a clear focal point based on how clear the contours and edges making up her face. That cool color for the neck also feels like just enough to balance all of those subdued warm colors around it. I wish I was more articulate, because I'm sure there's something else I'm missing for why I like this.
you guys like huey luis and the news?

Just a wee update
>>2295878
I'm liking it so far but I'd suggest looking at her toes. They differ in size.
>>2295884
Are you talking about one foot vs the other? I'm aware of that, it's on my to-do list
>>2294612
actually, i think i'm gonna leave it here so i don't overwork it or nothin
crits are v. appreciated!! i've been messing around with this style of painting for a little while now, but i'm not sure if it's working. i like it, and i like painting this way, but i'm sure it's not for everyone.
More progress, getting tired of this already, so might call it done ofter I finish detailing the fun bits (armour).
something im working on
>>2295158
well i just check it. theres a few minor flaws, nothing to do with the neck though oh well.
>>2293639
Digging the Orwellian vibe. Cool stuff.
>>2294179
Its a dead mans party, who could ask for more.
>>2295878
beginner lurking for inspiration here, so take this with a grain of salt:
the dude with the fish is facing away from the sea, which doesn't make much sense. i'd suggest making the shoreline more parallel to the horizon.
really good work though
>>2296157
Wat. He's dragging the fish in to cook at the fire. Makes perfect sense.
>>2296168
ah, didn't realize that was a fire. excuse my shitposting
>>2295261
No story
>>2295935
Great composition, really really good. But your rendering is leaving something to be desired. Aside from that you have got to fix that knight dude's right arm It looks either too short or it's twisting in an unnatrual way
more bargue plates. brushes seem like a nice tool for getting the gradients in these drawings
A few problems.
I want to make the city stand out more in the midground. Perhaps there's a different colour - i.e. not blue - that I could use for the buildings, that still works with the existing colour palette?
I would also like to add some kind of foreground presence, like a human figure to make a narrative. Perhaps a runner? I really like the way that Simon Stalenhag juxtaposes simple human characters to contrast to he futuristic quality of his paintings.
Also are the values are okay?
thanks
must render even harderrrrrrrrrr
im not even an ass man
>>2295940
I swear ive seen this somewhere
>>2296297
you must concentrate anon
focus your mind perfect these plates on the first go
for science
>>2296310
In terms of values theyre all really samey making so the image has no depth
pop on a multiply layer with a gradient for a mock fix
>>2296310
Next time resize.
I think you could totally add a human like to the closer grass area. Values seem ok I guess, but the color maybe should be more saturated closer to the camera.
>>2296320
O youve gotta be kidding me
god damn mother fuckin' turkeys
Crits?
>>2295940
Dropped

Send it my way if you ever find what it reminded you of, im curious
skele bro looking good so far
>>2296335
The vibrant, saturated ball clashes with the washed out colors on the bot. Maybe use a holographic blue like this...
>>2296335
>>2296339
Or blue mixed with green, like this.
>>2296339
>>2296341
Yeah you're right, i was going for something like this, also from Halo, but my inexperience showed through
>>2296343
I'd say the difference between the two is that those figures exist in a vacuum, unaffected by elements around them, like Cortana, while the bot seems to be generating the orb, meaning that (I feel) a coherent aesthetic choice towards industrial, utilitarian colors would work better.
>>2295828
he has a far more bitter cynical sense of humor.
>>2295878
i like the design of that zombie guy!
beep boop
>>2296310
Contrast is our lord and savior. Use that shadow from the big tower thingy to lead your eye
Plz help what can I do to make it look like reference?
>>2296323
y'all fuckers
>>2296512
b8 / 8
>>2296516
Not b8 I'm being serious. I like the reference, not the person
>>2296513
boredom sets in...
.
>>2296577
nice one
>>2296577
control edges and values.
>>2296512
Eyes are too big, also looks very stylized with the sharp edges you have, unless thats what you were going for
How to continue?
They should be sitting in somekind of a pond.
Did this after a while. That hand got swollen, so left it out from the focus. Ballpoint is not my usual thing, but it was fun.
Crits please. I'm unhappy with my current level of copic/line work skills. Any criticism would be great (or even recommended readings/tutorials).
>>2296846
The one fucking time I post a mobile pic where I actually expected itself to flip itself, and it didn't flip.
>>2296157
yea...because fishers like to keep their catch facing the sea........no chance it could...flop right back in..nope.
fish come out dead.
>>2296504
You absolute legend
>>2296514
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa copy
laughed harder than I should have
>>2297016
good thing you didnt fucking listen to anyone who gave crits on that piece.
shitlord.
>>2286537
Fuck it, I repainted the whole thing trying to learn from my mistakes. It's a commission btw so I had to follow guidelines regarding the design.
>>2297042
I mean it's okay but ultimately really boring. What was the brief? What were the design restraints?
I feel like the design of the dragon is dull, the pose is awkward (what is he even doing? think more about the action and intent behind the pose), the colours are a brown mess, the composition is basic, the vignette and the bg feel lazy etc. It kind of feels like you took the safest most boring solution for every single choice in the painting.
>>2297042
Looks better, I still hate the design and pose though. The shadows look a little washed out by the light to me, I think you should go in with some blue or purple to make them stronger.
>>2297038
that is a very square body
How's this?
>>2297059
It looks alright but some minor issues with it include: the nose (especially how it transitions to the mouth), the ear iisn't as simplified at the rest of the head, and the bangs look bad. Hand is slightly manly and lacks the confidence of the other areas. The volume of her rib cage looks odd. The left foot (her right) can have the toe area redrawn. On the right boot (her left) the ellipse of the top is showing way too much of the inside. It is close to the horizon line and should be a lot flatter.
>>2297064
Cool, let me see if I can fix some of that.
Drawing something xmas related.
>>2297042
Looks good, nice work!
>>2297064
Okay I changed what I could. I really don't think I should've changed the front part of the boot but I guess I'm stuck with it now. Also I didn't know what you meant by her ribcage looking "odd" so I messed with a little but in the end didn't change it really since I didn't know what was off. Other than that, I hope this looks better.
Sketching stuff... i dont usually sketch.
Pretty obvious who she is.
