Studying bridgeman
>>2578388
Nice studies,what makes his artform so special? His Lines are very loose and fit together,as everything is one! Just beautifull.

that's rough but funny OP

I honestly have no idea how to unfuck this up.

>>2578427
Is that rain?
First image done from imagination in a while. I'm not so satisfied with the rim light, especially around the hair, but I can't figure out how it should work...
Can anybody help with this? For me in particular any tips on how to make the shadows in his shorts look natural and not like he shat himself?
>>2578453
Holy crap that rim light is god awful. Rim light should be subtle and sticking to the planes of her face only slightly, not covering her entirety. Why is the light in the interior of her hair? It should be on the outside hairs. Tone it down. If there is such a ridiculous amount of rim light then it should be hitting her cheek on the left as well and her brow bone. Tsk.
>>2578461

I think it's un-un-fuckupable.

Increase the brightness and contrast a lot, it's hard to even see what's going on.
After turning up the brightness in photoshop: there's no clear horizon line, or your character and background are using completely different vanishing points, or something. Basically your perspective is funky.
There's nothing wrong with starting over.
>>2578412
It's hard to tell whether or not your foreground character's legs would be clipping through the ground or floating above them. At first glance it looks like she and the viewer would potentially be standing in a hole in the ground, but it's impossible to tell, because you don't really have a perspective to clarify that.
>>2578412
Like someone already said, your background is fucked. The door looks like it's built for midgets, the colours are too dark to see anything, and the girl is too big to fit with the scenery.
For the girl I'd make her forehead shorter, keeping in mind that the eyes are at the midway point of the head. Clean up the lines of her hair, and make the colour match the lighting of your background. Make the neck longer, fix the shoulders of the cloak/coat she's wearing since they're too stiff and wide, they should drape to fit hers. Her tits need to be more even, and farther away from the collar bone, and the shirt she's wearing is too form fitting, it shouldn't show her exact stomach muscles, just the shadows of it. And lastly, the arm hanging down is too short.
>>2578382
What do you guys think? I'm fairly new to digital art so newfag alert.
>>2578419
on the far left guy's face you can't tell where his features are, there is too much inking, and the guy on the right's nose is curving downward too much to match the nostrils.
Cool sunglasses dude at the bottom though.

>>2578609
Thanks, I'm guessing I should go read the loomis then?
help me pls..
>>2578453
i like your brushwork but agree that the rimlight is too sharp, study more before you apply it to imagination, also, her left eye is pushed out towards the jaw too much.
>>2578593
i love your brushwork as well, i think something funky is going on around the clavicle, you may want to revisit that area.

Fuck it shouldn't have been that small, how embarassing
found scrap paper at work. better than a worksheet
>>2578625
Sure. Personally I find his method of drawing heads essential, definitely study that. But aside from that you should just scower the net for photos of skeletons and bones and muscles and all sorts of references and just find a way to enjoy studying it. If you enjoy your study you'll get better faster.

hey guys,did a study of eyes today.Any tips ?
>>2578453
a light is not supposed to dark any areas. just do the rimlight in a "Ligthen" layer and it will look much better.
>>2579321
can we stop with people posting in 2-3 threads? post in fucking one.

get that face fixed ,armor looks very interesting. perspective of the creature that is on the left side should be kind of easy top fix.
>>2579321
just do entire busts yo
>>2579321
That eyebrow is drunk
>>2579404
wow, something great coming.
However it feels a bit flat for now, the girl also doesn't look like she's occupying a lot of space, pay attention to that.
To give it volume I would make the "background" curve around her (maybe with something getting out of the shadow to grab her?) so that it may give a better sense of space.
>>2579410
thanks! true,I tried to give a sense of dimension by adding some shit in the bg,bringing the figure a bit forward.
making the background curve around her is a good idea. The "empty" space is something I am experimenting with(added the dude to see what happened,looked too messy and chaotic so took him out.)
>maybe with something getting out of the shadow to grab her
I actually thought about this and wanted to add a male figure interacting with the girl.I'm just clueless on how to do that

Hi Guys, I'm working on an illustration with a hyena in it, but im not really that familiar with dog anatomy, let alone hyena anatomy. I'm having issues with the back/shoulder area, the form just looks weird and i can't seem to fix it. I hope you guys can help!

he literally only has hard edges.

This another album cover?
>>2579661
It looks like you could set up a mariachi band under there and still have room for the refreshments. He'd look less like a tent if his legs weren't spread out so rigidly and in a perfect rectangle.
The head and neck show promise in terms of anatomy, but I think you should rethink the pose. Look at some real dog pics.

Rendering attempt wip
>>2580220
model looks like a smug retard
aside from that the rendering on the face is pretty good, I think you should pay more attention to value placement, with areas like her nostrils and eyes being mat black for no reason. Also your line weight id pointlessly hard on some places, like the shirt and the uh, the thing on her head.
>>2580228
wowee another overwatch piece will u look at that
god bless you anon, you boring sack of shit.
>>2580231
That is not her shirt, its a black string necklace. She's a wearing a deep v.
>>2580231
Thank you for the crit! I will add some shine to her eyes, but how would you change the value inside of her nostril?
>>2580000
I think your value range is very good for a quick 30, but IMHO your hatching is slightly unseemly. Hatching looks best to me when it defines a form by its direction and rarely becomes perpendicular.

You think Bridgemans rendering is realistic? Crosshatching is always less realistic man. I love his aesthetic though.
>>2578830
I really like it, but I get a strange feeling when I look at the bottom of the nose, I feel like it should be maybe slightly darker??

I posted this in the beginner thread but didn't get any responses. Just wondering if this is an effective way to study.
I'm trying a new method of figure drawing, though I don't know if it will be effective or not. Basically, I copy the model to the best of my ability, and then afterwards I lay my copy over the master and using a lightbox I go over the master copy's lines and make notes of where my drawing was wrong and how I can fix them. Later in the day I will try to redraw those poses from memory, trying to incorporate the corrections I made for myself.
I have no idea how much this will help me learn, though. I'm pretty decent at drawing single body parts, like arms and legs, but full bodies usually end up too long or too wide and have proportional issues.
Posting cute art from pixiv.
>>2580785
Don't know, probably will to a certain extend, be sure to not copy but understand the subject, big difference, always a good idea to see what you did wrong, and the lightbox pretty much tells you what you want to know
I think if you're decent at drawing single body parts, you should be focusing on slowly putting them together and do gesture drawings as well
too bad about the face, the motorcycle looks sick (and probably a paintover of a 3d model)
>>2580808
I wanted to do detailed studies of individual body parts, but I haven't had luck finding an image pack of arms and legs and chests and junk. I could just study them from a full model, but.
This artist draws a lot of girls with cars and bikes. It's kinda his thing.
>>2580820
>I could just study them from a full model, but.
but? could also just make photos of yourself in poses
>>2580834
It'd be nice if I had photos of isolated body parts so I didn't have to look at the other stuff. I mean, it really doesn't matter. It's just me being a dumb.

i might look into that. though right now i cant take paint to work and have a good reason for it lol. so gel pens for now.
im getting ready to go neet for a year. it's nerve wracking.
>>2581339
Gel pen is fine, it gets the job done.
I don't recommend going neet (been there done that). It's good to have something to do besides drawing, have some balance in your life. Just because you have 8 more free hours for the day doesn't mean you'll actually use that to draw more. But that's just me. I've always focused better on drawing when I had a job or something else to do. I've also seen the same happen with other artists. They think they'll focus better because they're not tied down by a job, but then they just end up playing more videogames or slacking off. If you hate your job, either cut the hours or find something else that you can tolerate, then just manage your time better.
>>2581362
the 60 hours i work a week is mandatory usually. so theres no cutting back. going to quit and find a part time since ive saved money accordingly
in terms of composition, how shit is this?

opinions please
how do i make her look less alien
>>2581779
It stares into your soul.
I think is the dead stare + smugness. It must be the expression the expression. Try make her less happy or whatever is trying to convey and/or try with making her looking at other side with her eyes..
>>2581779
Giant mouth, eyes incredibly far apart, dead eyes, lacking a cranium...
>>2581779
>eyes incredibly far apart
Oh yeah, it must be mostly this. Eyes are usually 1 eye apart.
>>2581779
Eyes are too wide apart looking at different directions. The irises are misaligned, also too wide apart. She's staring into nothing, no particular direction it seems.
That mouth is too wide, stretching way past the lips. Lips are too thin, makes her look old. The jaw/space under her cheeks is too narrow. Her chin looks elongated as a result.
Her lips are too far down from her nose, that or her nose is not low enough. The bridge of her nose looks flat, it needs more shadow. Not sure where your primary light source is coming from.
>>2581972
Stick with it. I think you just need to adjust the position of certain features of the face to make it look fine.
If you're gonna restart, get a good line sketch of the face down first. so that it will already be correct when you paint over it.
aaaaAAAAAAAHHH I dont' know what to think of this anymore.
>>2582001
that's way way better than the retard dance version.
Just take proper care of the face in time, and to make the volumes fell rounder when you get into rendering.
>>2581972
To add to this, >>2581979 , do what I (>>2582001) do when painting delicate things such as faces: Get your line art down to perfection, and keep your lineart separate from everything and overtop of your other layers. Finely fill in color blocks on a layer beneath the lines, then LOCK that layer so you don't have to worry about ruining your edge and go crazy with big brushes further refining the colors. Then lower the opacity of the line art layer so that its just barely visible, then go about rendering on the color layer. Eventually you will be able to turn off the line layer all together and it will look good.

I don't like quitting

Thumbnail looks something out of HL2

>>2582066
It's not quitting to start a piece over.
You're on the right track, but in one point perspective, all of the lines should be pointing toward the focal point (including the minor details).
Any scene like this, you should extend out past your intended canvas to properly position your character. Even if you aren't going to include it the entire area in your final image just doodle in the rest of her body. This way you can be sure the character is actually where you want her (and the right size).
You should start over with better construction.
>>2582066
I just realized I didn't explicitly point this out, and it's definitely worth explicating: the horizon line is your eye level.
The horizon line is the VIEWER'S eye level.
It seems like we're supposed to be looking slightly down at the figure, but her eyes are above the viewer's eyes, which mean she's taller than the viewer.
This is why it seems like your character and the viewer must be standing in a hole, it doesn't make any sense for the viewer and foreground character to be about half as tall as a dumpster.

>>2582541
Nobody, I just get that every time I draw something.
>>2582549
For fun, mostly. I was only ever good at drawing cartoony humans and environments, realistic stuff is too complex for me. I've been trying to improve since I was kicked off of /v/'s drawthreads for shitty art, that's why I asked for a critique.
>>2582552
I like your style. Work on perspective and draw more realism to help inform and refine it, though.
>>2582066
You really should start over, you'll be happier you did. There's really too much to fix such as the character's height, the values, the perspective lines etc. And you'll run into more problems if say, you raise your character up a few feet so she's proper height, then you would essentially be looking up at her from waist height but you've drawn her from eye level so you'd have to re draw huge portions of her anyway. If you lower the background you'll have to go in and literally re paint everything to match the new perspective.
Just restart. Think about lighting and how you can silhouette your character because everything was dark in your original except for this blisteringly white hair which doesn't look natural, it looks like it's illuminated, and what the hell is going on with the purple stuff? I can't rationalize it.
I say this to a lot of people on here, you're biting off more than you can chew, you'd be much happier with a simple background (like a brick wall or something, and simple lighting so that you can better focus your attention on learning things in bite sized chunks. Right now you're spreading yourself too thin into territory you have no place being in. It'll lead to a bad image and you won't learn much from it.

>>2582588
update: better?
>>2582578
That's because you don't understand the underlying structure. Study that (bones first then muscles) and it will imensely help your figure study and drawing from memory.
Being able to draw something from memory isn't so much memorizing every single curve and dimple of a figure, it's understanding what is making those curves and dimples.

>>2582552
>I was only ever good at drawing cartoony
I don't mean this in a derogatory way, but you're not good yet.
Work toward a better understanding of all aspects of art and you'll produce better work. If you're only working on your "cartoony style" what you're really doing is building a symbol library in your mind that's only going to hinder your progress later on.
If you actually understand perspective, proportions, and color theory to a reasonable extent, you can mix things up and make cartoony shit that's actually decent looking.
Do studies of simple shapes and human figures. Read and do the practice work in Loomis' books.
>Some minor critique:
After getting past how distracting the faces are, the hands and feet are the most glaring mistake. The hands actually look decent for for a cartoon, but both the hands and feet in both your images aren't symmetrical (they're different sizes and shapes - the thumbs attach at different points on each hand), you could improve this by doing studies of 3d shapes.
For the love of Loomis, don't put eyes on top of hair. If you want eyes that big, make the hair fit properly around that, at least let the hair overlap the eyes, goddamn.
I like the concept in your second image. If she's supposed to be a robot/android thing disguised as a human chick, you may want to make that exceedingly visually obvious to the viewer. In general, the concept you're trying to convey should read from a distance (or in a thumbnail), especially in more cartoony content where you usually have greater leeway where suspension of disbelief is concerned. If it's supposed to be a secret that she's an android, then there's no point in showing the android aspects at all. Right now, the image on the right could go either way.

final sketch
>>2578382
Here's my drawing. Not finished obviously.
First time using sketchbook pro.
I know it's shit.
>>2578830
Holy fucking shit this is good.
tried painting with color instead of greyscale first
how do i stop being godawful?
>all these great artists
>I thought I was ok until I got here
Holy shit how depressing
>>2578830
Holy shit m8, this is amazing.
>>2581204
Shit, this is great too. How'd you blend the leg tattoos/texture so well? Asking 'cause I need it for my next drawing.
btw here's my art. Tons of Overwatch I see.
>>2582674
You're making too many colors and shapes out of nowhere
Squint, keep it simple
>>2582678
That's rad I feel the arrow should be a bit larger and the perspective tweaked a little on it.
>>2582689
Thanks man. Will fix the arrow, although I don't see much that could be done on perspective.
This is ofc mainly due to my limitations of being a scrub, so I'm genuinely asking for you guys to enlighten me if possible.
>>2582510
Do some studies of guys and shit.
If you prefer fully rendered pictures of girls, go for it. Your liking of a particular drawing subject isn't something wrong that should be corrected, although as previously mentioned, do studies of both genders just so you don't stagnate.
>>2582654
you know, if she's anatomically closse to a human, what's poking out of her buttcheeks would be her asshole, or I imagine her intestine. Its' not sexy, it's creepy.
Other than that, it's a rather lovely sketch; I find the face features a bit weird, overly cartoony. Eye and mouths are gigantic, and I don't know I find them disturbing.
The chunkier body type does not fell very tracer, but whatever.
I drew myself yo
>>2579999
Is no one going to mention these quads?
>>2582728
I guess I'll leave it to just butt cheeks..
I'm not 100% satisfied with the face either, but we'll see how the final lines turn out. Thank you so much for the feed back!
Did some Horse Nightmare thing. Just practicing my skills.
>>2582743
Man, I'm happy that you're fine with that feedback, it's blunt.
I'm not sure to recognize who you are but I sure want so see the final image, I like it a lot. When should you be done?
I'm working on an illustration of every season.
Picture is kind of big because it's meant to be viewed big.
>>2582674
>>2582681
thanks that helped. i believe I managed to improve it a bit
Started this last night. I feel like the back looks so broken, or the pose in general but I am not sure how to fix it. Pls help
>>2582860
Also I feel like the head/face is too big so I plan on fixing that.
working on this, absolutely hating the holes, any ideas?
>>2580586
Sadie and Lapis make a pretty cute fushion, and they're prbably decently good for each other too.
Seriously tho good pic. And your design IS unique in many ways.
>>2582872
This is experimental, so make a hard-copy save: But try increasing the contrast by a lot, really focus on the two really bright lines of light, and go for chromatic aberration on the sides.
Try picking very light shades of blue to accent eyes and cape, and try forcing forms more.
My two cents. Although I really like it as it is now.
>>2582849
we have a word for what im doing in german: "Verschlimmbessern" - making it worse while trying to make it better.
I suppose I should move on to the next piece and not dwell on this
>>2582887
Thanks man, bumping contrast worked quite well
Did some funky stuff with pipes or sewer tubes or something, gonna try and fix the light from the left tube now so it gets cut by the rock/bunnies
How do I get clean edges?
>>2582945
Oh yeah, worked pretty damn well.
Really sets the focus and tone of the picture. You done or are you planning on adding more details? 'Cause honestly I'd like to see more of it.
My update btw. Still unfinished af.
Most likely yea, if I don't start on something else tomorrow, somehow the lightning really worked out on the guy itself and I have no idea how I got it like that
wanted to try and create a working illustration with the toxic colors
>>2582960
MORE OVERWATCH STUFF NICCCCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I LOVE SEEING THIS EVERYWHERE
GRATS MAN NICE
NICEEEEEEEEEE

>>2582960
forgot to give you a (you)
Gonna go for alot of motion? Dragons right now look more like catfish then dragons though
>>2582976
Shit, you're right! I'll try to fix that shit asap.
Thanks for pointing it out!
currently working on this. i'm feeling pretty good about it, aside from maybe the shadows. does anyone have any good videos, tips, or pointers in terms of rendering?
>>2582946
Spend extra time to make them clean. There's no secret to it, just use a hard brush and make the edges sharp.
>>2582970
It's baffling isn't it? It's like along with the game being released people just spawned out of thin air with the soul purpose of jacking off to their art of the game's characters. The designs aren't anything special and it doesn't have the same comedic charm as say TF2 which gets a similar fan art treatment though I'd argue it's more justified.
>>2582739
nice 39

Feet and his left hand look a little small, push the peronus longus and the flexor group out a bit more and I think his left leg/arm will look a bit more proportional as well. I think you already seem to understand how your rending is going to work, but I see inconsistent lighting on the top plate of armour on the right leg. Maybe straighten your edges and add a bit of reflected light to the inside of the left arm?
>>2583026
Up your contrast. You can throw in some jet black in there, in the nooks and crannies of the armour, not too much though. Let's say, make 5% of your total value range be jet black. And then conversely add some brighter highlights. Using both of those you should be able to add a lot of detail without actually adding detail if that makes sense.
>>2583043
it just angers me dude
>>2583053
I just like the game and wanted to do some fanart. I don't really get what the big deal is.
To each their own, I guess...
what should she hit with the magic stick?
Finished this fucker finally.
>>2583094
Neat but looks a little flat senpai
>>2583119
Where at, in particular?

How do I move on from grayscale? This is my first digital and I have no idea what to do.
>>2583143
Use soft light, overlay, or multiply layers over it and fuck around.
>>2583094
nice
Buda and Yisus
>>2582224
What materials are you using for this? I really love it!!
>>2583094
That turned out well!
>>2583134
Its stomach looks great but the lighting on the torso and neck don't seem to quite follow the roundness of the shapes. Same with its right leg, seems like there should be a bit more definition in there, which you could easily add without it being distracting. Just add some lighting that's a few degrees above black.
>>2583159
Buddha isn't fat. You're thinking of Budai.
>>2582781
I really appreciate it, it's always nice to see how drawings are met by the public!
I'm happy to hear that! I haven't really been around for 6 moths, I hope to get the lines done by today, and some colors before the weekend is over.
>>2583094
there were a lot of problems in your grayscale drawing, but I didnt bother mentioning it. good job on wasting a lot of time though.
>>2583383
Always helpful anon. Yer gonna make it.
>>2583094
im so glad you stuck it out looks cool!
you could play with eye color but thats just goofing around at this point.
Didn't like where >>2582945
so I went back to the drawing board, what do you guys think? currently leaning towards 4
