working on removing contrast
fuckin god damn this is going to take forevvvvvvvver
Any crits on this? Took around an hour
>>2391174
Removing contrast?
Why would you do that exactly?
Is this close to how a cup of coffee would look at this angle in real life?
Can somebody red line it?
>>2391192
Seeing if I can trick my eye to turn form with only minor gradients with color + core shadows
and I like how it looks
>>2391195
Do you seriously want red line for this?
Circle is not even a circle.
Even 8 years old kid can see what's wrong with your drawing.
>>2391195
i mean does that look like an ellipse to you ? should be easy to answer yourself m8
>>2391223
Yeah you're right.
I looked at it and realized I drew a fucked up rectangular oval.
Guess I gotta go practice ellipses.
>>2391234
Good luck.
a study thing from reference. i tried i guess...
>>2391255
You obviously didn't finish it.
craig mullins study
its really helpful because you learn how to paint like painting on a real canvas instead of trying to sculpt
>>2391255
>didn't bother to finish the face
>putting down signature
Learn to paint mouth faggot.
>>2391266
you know what else teaches you how to paint like painting on a real canvas?
>>2391280

Only drew this so people have something to crit. Please crit, need crit
>>2391308
find new subject matter. if you stop drawing that same dog and those same birds over and over again maybe it'll push you out of this style. or at least expand on it.
>>2391308
it's nice, but that static composition is doing you no favors. and the shading is kind of weird. is the light source directly behind them or coming from the right?
>>2391308
That's pretty comfy senpai desu
and done
>>2391311
>>2391311
>find new subject matter. if you stop drawing that same dog and those same birds over and over again
What? I've never drawn this dingo/gulls.
Only thing you could be referring to is the comic i'm illustrating for someone. But that's got more animals than just dog and birbs.
>>2391317
Supposed to be from the back. Tips on composition/better lightning?
>>2391325
are you sure? i could've sworn there's a guy that draws nothing but dogs and it's in that exact style. someone back me up on this am i crazy?
>>2391325
tips on lighting: nothing that everyone hasn't already heard before. break the forms down into cubes/spheres/cylinders.
and this dude is a good read in general but has a lot to say on composition:
http://www.floobynooby.com/comp1.html
>>2391332
I draw animals but certainly not just dogs (outside of commissions in which people only ask for dogs). My tumblr is http://www.flyingratt.tumblr.com if you want to check.
Though now i'm wondering who this dog-drawing person running around with my style is.
>>2391335
Shit, thanks for the doc. I prefer collecting books instead of PDF's so if you have any recommendations on paper, let me know. I'll read this though.
>>2391107
You fugg your model yet, OP?
>>2391324
Could be pushed a lot further if consideration was put into the piece. Stop doing quick "speedpaints" and start doing finished pieces. It'll help you out more, and more quickly. Do yourself a favor and either don't call this one done, or plan the next one infinitely more. I'm talkin' reference, thumbnails, studies, the whole process. See how far you can take something, then address your flaws.
>>2391308
Looks pretty good. There's just a few issues.
It might just be me, but the fries read poorly. Maybe you could make them longer and thinner or try crinkle-cut?
The dog's face is also a bit messed up. The attachment of the ear should be more forward, and the ear is not in the right perspective.
Crit my TLC?
>>2391346
no she never showed up! she was all excited and then she never showed up. i guess she was nervous she was pretty young i honestly would've been surprised if she actually modelled for me.
>>2391347
>pushed a lot further
I honestly don't think I know what that means
>>2391350
Thanks. My ears are usually better when I draw a dog, not sure what happened. Dingo ears fuck me around.
Chips aren't fries, they're just hot chips. The chunky ones. Not sure what they're called in America, probably steak chips.
>>2391324
I really dislike these digital brushwork pierces
Just paint on a canvas, then.
Can I get some feedback/suggestions my what I am working on now?
>>2391370

>>2391354
>22 year old man propositioned a high school aged girl he doesn't know via the internet to come "model" for him
Can't imagine why she would be nervous, seems legit.
>>2391356
There's no degree of finish to anything here. No consideration to placement of different elements, etc. You sketched out a landscape from imagination and said "oh, maybe some eggs would look cool there and maybe add narrative or something". That's not storytelling in an illustration. Note that finishing this or any piece doesn't mean render the shit out of it.
Taking from the troll post that's floating around, you can look at Mullins's piece here >>2390343 and it has an air of being planned/headed toward a finish. Values are planned well, composition is good, he's shape welding intelligently.. etc.
>>2391374
Boring comp and feels more like an exercise in perspective than a piece. Colors are very filter-y right now.
Current study, are there any flaws in my construction? I don't know where to go from here how do I add detail and ink?
>>2391375
hey man she was the one telling me she'd be "honored"
>>2391417
I suggest acting as if nothing happened
>>2391377
alright i'll just paint like mullins next time. no, i get what you mean and you are right, but i paint mainly for fun rly
>>2391424
why are you posting in a thread meant for critique if you don't want it?
>>2391429
Are you kidding? There are so many people who do that, it's more reasonable to ask why anyone who does want critique would post here.
>>2391389
>>2391392

>visible brushstrokes
>99% ugly in real life

>>2391429
i do want it. 'paint like mullins' is just not too applicable.
>>2391385
Can you elaborate? Is the sky too saturated?
Thoughts?
>>2391443
No one replies in those.
pretty easy tbqh, though I probably have a better understanding of form than anyone else itt.
>>2391494
do you hav devian art?
>>2391420
yeah the whole thing seemed a little too good to be true from the start
>>2391466
Not saying paint like Mullins. It was just an example. He learned from looking @ the best. Wyeth, Rockwell, any of the golden age guys. They all did the same fundamentals that I spoke of.
Welp, I'm new here. This was kind of a last resort, honestly, since I can't rely on anyone I know to honestly critique my work. Not sure if I should post here or in the beginner thread, but whatever. Basically I need lineart tips, anatomy, whatever. Also, please excuse my crappy attempt at paw-hands-whatever. Also excuse the crappy picture quality since I took it with my phone. Not entirely sure how fast this thread goes, but I'd like some critique soon.

Regardless of the issues you have to sort out, saved.

Well even if she's real and just had second thoughts, not contacting her and being yourself doesn't come off as creepy as "Why didn't you show up???" does.
It's up to you, but sending a quick, courteous, professional message to illustrate that you're not reading too much into it and still appreciate the offer is probably good too.

>>2391827
The strokes really work with the form on the apples, yet the bananas are flattened and it feels like you didnt achieve the same level of polish on the tomatoes as you did with the rest of the fruit.
>>2391836
i wish i painted them bigger. seemed okay when i sketched it out, but they turned out kinda tiny. and it was hard to get the forms to pop cause they were so small. looks pretty good from a distance doesn't really hold up up close.

>>2391468
As far as feeling more like a perspective project -- everything is very constructed and there's not much content there to latch onto. There's no narrative, concept, etc. The sky isn't really the problem as much as the local colors don't feel correct. I super duper half-assed the landscape, but here's a quick paintover to demonstrate what I'm talking about. I also tweaked the bot's values a bit to really hit home that sense of scale.
>>2391909
In fact, I'd probably kick up the blue/values of the bot a little bit more looking at it again, but not too much.
>>2391450
Lmao. Glad I got to see the crazyness myself. That shit was top-tier kek.

>>2391909
wow this is awesome
doing some coloring practice over quick sketch.
I'm not considering realistic shading, but color composition and overall 'gud' feeling.
Skin color is way exaggerated I suppose.
I was recently brainstorming ideas for a story and I wanted to write and today, I drew furries from stick figures apparently. I have been doing this an awful-lot lately to practice drawing crowds, but never furries until today.
>>2391988
these are fantastic man
>>2391988
did you just call putting solid colors on top of lineart "coloring practice" ?
what?
>>2391374
That middle finger is distracting.
>>2391324

dude, there's not knowing about guns and then there's holding a model of stairs with a decapitated cone tit glued to the side of it. come on, man. just....come on. a single rectangle would have done a better job. two rectangles ideally, but even just the one.
>>2391174
is this all one layer? why not the usual lines>flats>render process that always works?
Even doing what you're doing there should be a process to this madness, like separating figure from background on different layers.

>>2392439
sounds fine. just don't blend the red and green together unintentionally or you'll muddy it up, since complimentaries neutralize each other.
>>2392040
I guess it was not appropriate word for that. I'm not familiar with English.
What i meant was that I don't have interest in realistic coloring techniques, rather color composition and style. like typical cartoon style. But I'm struggling with it.
Drawing epic muh style art just for testing color schema is not efficient I think so I'm currently doing this.
>>2392439
it probably is too late, but the horn placement does not align with other features, if you want I can make a redline tomorrow.
>>2391389
You need more basic shapes. Don't draw hips, draw circles. Don't draw legs, draw cylinders. Break that shit down into its most basic form when you are starting out.
>>2392482
I cant wait that long, if you can explain it in words (and preferably post some of your own work so I know you know what you're talking about) go ahead
This is one of many pages I have from high school doodling
I'm pretty shit with colors, /ic/. Any advice on what I can do to improve?
>>2392549
limit your color palette to three colors (+mixing) and make do.
>>2392579

Dear God I fucking hate when people do this. It's make DUE.

>>2392549
idk I think the blues in the windows turned out okay, but it's strange that they would be so different. The ground level window color is weird though, and the height of the windows is weird/too high for basement windows, and first floor windows don't usually run all the way to the pavement. Also the perspective on the bigger round window is making it look bad.
>>2392549
You should read James Gurney's "Color and Light," it's a great book and sounds like exactly what you need.
>>2392601
I can't seem to find any good images of the pages I think you'd be most interested in. I'll see if I can find my copy.
>>2392596
I can't believe it. Now it is I who am sry.
>>2392609
I found my copy, but if there's any particular points you'd recommend, I'd appreciate it. Or should I just dive right in and read from the start?
>>2392614
all is forgiven, bro. now you can finally let the hate go.
>>2392346
Not the painting guy, but that process never works for me D:
Already know the rendered version is going to look like an overworked laboured piece of crap. Underpainting looks so cool though.
I have to make myself practice with color so here goes.
How's this block in? I have a feeling it's oversaturated. Anything else?
>>2392747

>>2392756
That'll happen later. This is just a fragment of full canvas to work the knight to finish. The background is just copymerged in place so I can properly judge values and stuff. Then I move the whole guy over to the actual psd file and blend him into the scene.
>>2392769
Another thing to keep in mind is that horses dont have very big ears. It sort of looks like the great knight of the grassland water stream is riding a donkey. I think it would benefit you to move the ears more to the side and make them smaller.
painted a self portrait. wanted to try linen canvas so i bought a small pre-stretched one.

>>2392753
Hey. If you want to get better with color, learn from life first and use real paint. The process of mixing colors will teach you a lot. Beyond that, warm vs cool applies to almost every painting, and you should read Color and Light by James Gurney, also check out ctrlpaint.com for digital painting tips. When you are painting digitally, build a palette before you start - either select colors from a master painting or scan swatches that you made with real paint, then you can mix colors on screen from your palette while you paint digitally. When you pick colors from scratch in photoshop you will often end up with unnatural color choices because the whole spectrum is laid out in front of you with many colors that you wouldn't get if you were using real paint or working from life, it's even harder when you are a beginner.

This is actually starting to look really good. The edges are sloppy and vulgar but that's an easy fix later on. Crazy how you can actually get shit done when you buckle down and draw.

I knew it. That post was total bullshit. Supposedly you're painting something from reference but you "casually" mention it's a snapchat, and oh it just happens to be boobs, cropped just enough not to show the "good bits". You think it's impressive to say you're painting it from memory but it's stupid because you're still using reference, you're just not using it right which would be using it to make corrections. You say you want critique but this is all supposed to be a tease to make all the d/ic/ks jealous so you didn't and obviously aren't going to post the reference because you don't actually want anyone to tell you what you did wrong you just wanted reactions. Only you didn't count on a femanon being the one to call you out, so your plan to discredit me by calling me jealous won't work. I have my own boobs I can reference if I want, I couldn't care less some camho sent you her pasty nubs. Check and mate faggot, go draw.

>>2394255
learn how color works. work in lab spectrum (protects your saturation when you have a tendency to blend lots of brushstrokes ontop of eachother with low opacity). work without any pen-pressure-opacity. try to systematize your saturation, just to get a better feel for how to control it. similar to how simplifying values, and edges helps develop a feel for controlling it's variations. you know? like say pick 6 values, 3 in the shadows and 3 in the illuminated areas. now pick 6 levels of saturation, towards both warm and cold. now pick 4 type of edges (lost, soft, normal, sharp), and now you paint. and stick to those rules.

>that's what her nose looked like
Doubtful. It's what you thought it looked like, not what was there. You'll never learn to draw what you see and not what you think you see.
>>2394289
not op but thank you
>>2394307
You can't see how terribly flawed and warped your own works are because of your inability to look at anything objectively, and thanks to your ego you will never get past that.
>>2394277
You mean Jews.
>>2394335
i can't tell jews, italians, and greeks apart. i was thinking of asking her but it seemed rude cause i really wanted to say "where does your nose come from"
can't decide on which composition looks better. Drawings are shit but get the point across.
>>2394245
haha wow.
>Only you didn't count on a femanon being the one to call you out
>femanon
sure. sure
>>2394360
The top one makes more sense visually, and looks less clustered
>>2394270
Well.
Could you give me some crits instead of shitposting like a total fucknugget?
>>2394377
Shitposters deserve shitposts. Didn't you read what I said? How is anyone supposed to critique it without seeing the reference image you wanted everyone to beg you for. And since you have a reference image, why aren't you referring to it on your own to see how it could be better? That's the whole point of it being reference. You could be working on it independently, you could have posted the picture and painting together without the snapchat bit because it's not like uncovered boob photos are hard to come by so nobody cares where you got it and people could actually critique it, but you came here fishing cuz lel boobs.
>>2394376
yeah I like the the top more. top has a better flow imo, but wanted to see what other people thought.
>>2394289
>lab spectrum
?
>>2394400
LAB instead of RGB / CMYK
>>2393912
Are you that anon who drew the girl & wolf in the last thread? Anyway, love your stuff
>>2394387
> How is anyone supposed to critique it without seeing the reference image
I don't have the snapchat. I didn't screencap it.
>why aren't you referring to it on your own to see how it could be better?
The whole point of this thread is to post for other people to crit.
>so nobody cares where you got it
Clearly you care where I got it.
And to end this.
My friend sent me a snapchat showing a necklace she had bought.
What you see in the painting is what you saw i n the snapchat.
Nothing sexual about it, I just thought It would look good painted.
>>2392579
how dose it work ? like put three main colors and mix them and then eyedrop the results and use those new colors ?
>>2394450
The fact that you went straight to "wow so jealous" instead of just saying "wait what I just want an honest critique" when I called you out tipped your hand but sure.
I don't know why you wouldn't save the picture if you were going to try to paint it, there isn't much anyone could say is right or wrong with it without knowing what it was supposed to look like. I will say it needs some texture or something to sharpen the edges because it looks like you airbrushed it all with a soft edge brush and it just looks blurry instead of blended. The necklace string doesn't look like it's being affected by gravity or laying on the forms of the chest and the pendant is slightly out of perspective and if it's metal, should have sharper edges. I don't know what the lighting was like, but I would desaturate some of the top planes and add some kind of purple or blue to the lower planes to make the shadows more interesting. Use a similar reference if you have to. Next time come correct.

please help me to be less shitty at figure drawinf
>>2394488
These are wonderful. The shading on the woman is great your proportions are iffy though, she kinda looks wonky. I suggest, really looking at what you see and drawing that, not just thinking what you see, but besides that she's great. The man is a great start I see no issues with the proportions.
study of a picture I found in the reference thread
>>2394449
yes, that was one of mine. And thanks anon, it means a lot.
My attempt at making Starfire with no ref. I know face is a bit strange. Drew on paper first and then went over with tablet.
>>2394577
This image is giving me BoR flash backs.
>>2394595
Whats BoR?
absent-mindedly posted this in its own thread, waiting for that to disappear
reiterating from that thread; is there anything that strikes you as off with this image right off the bat? aside from the drapery issues and general wonkiness with the anatomy
>>2394677
legs are a bit short but I like it
>>2394751
that was intentional, was going for a chibi-ish look for lack of a better word, does look a bit wank now that you mention it though.
thanks for the feedback man!
>>2394677
Why not learn how to draw a human, then a lizard, then combine the two and make your chibi character?
Took a half hour, I still hate the eyes I did
