Didn't see one, so here it is.
Post your work.
It's unfinished, but I just wanted to know if I was headed in the right direction.
>>2425866
>sticky
the right direction
>>2425884
Are you saying my work is crap?
>>2425904
yes, go study
Lay off the soft brush/airbrush and stop tracing.
Airbrushing is so fucking ugly, sorry dude.

Appreciate the critiques, I just don't know what I would use to shade, maybe hatching?
>>2426088
dont do that. hatching wont fix what you have going on. learn to actually render, and it looks like your images are drawn 1:1 from photos, try not to do that, it's painfully obvious.
>>2426088
No, just block your values in with a hard brush, then soften areas where you need softer edges and gradations with a soft brush. Again, stop tracing, you are wasting your time and you're not impressing anyone.
learn to draw, then learn to render

I'm using my phone to look at the picture I'm drawing.
I'll take all the tracing comments as compliments
>>2426125
You are only fooling yourself.
Didn't see anything about rendering in sticky
>>2426130
Yea whatever say buddy.
>>2426125
They're not saying you're tracing mate, just copying from refrence.
Which makes the work boring, you don't add anything.
Even when working from ref you can make it more interesting by exaggerating certain things in the picture(value, colors, feauture, ect)
If they're just studies, try to focus more on edge control.(just google it, I belive ctrl+paint covers it)
I'll be completely honest. Your art sucks ass.
Let me guess. You went your whole life being told by parents, friends, and teachers that your art is amazing so you never felt the need to improve. And now here you are on /ic/ fishing for compliments.

>I'll take all the tracing comments as compliments
You shouldn't.
I drew myself last weekend. thoughts?

NO RULES JUST TOOLS
A beginner can do whatever they fucking please, they should have fun and explore. Art is not a technical skill.

Pls stop semantics bulshit. Everyone in /ic/ thinks about art in terms of draftsmanship.

Stop drawing contours and actually learn and understand the forms your putting down.
If you're going to continue doing it the way you are consider pushing your values; Use your darkest darks to your lightest lights.
>>2427073
and with no technical skill, you got no tools, no way to explore, little way to have fun.
Just inevitable circlejerk of selfimportant art/style to prove oneself.
>>2425866
>General critique thread
you mean the draw thread.
delete this meaningless thread.
>>2425866
Pretty good artwork, the only thing I'd suggest is a few hard dark lines to mix with the soft greys features- other than that, it's damn fine.
>>2427062
I like this a lot! You should release a coloring book.
heres a link to my shitty artworks
