Whenever I put stuff on tumblr the stuff I'm really proud of flops and my halfassed sketches get lots of notes.

An original? Start looking for an art auction house or gallery that specializes in 20th century fantasy and science fiction artwork. You may have to be patient.

Because that probably means he's focusing on tiny ass details and not the whole picture.

Perfectionism is the greatest foe of improvement. Learn to fail.

Just get photoshop. 10 bucks a month now.

Sai might have a working port. FireAlpaca looks like a popular Sai clone.There’s also Krita.

Shouldn't you be drawing instead of looking for ''threads like this everyday''?

I read that as "the breast untamed" at first
if you get an artist that's specialized in dotwork tattoos, its doable

It's a shitty design but it should be readable at that size

A pixel art thread already exists.

The main thing I see is the orange reflection cuts off too quickly. Makes it look like there's a pit in the water.

Also, think about adding a smoother transition in the sky itself. Such a small section being the only part lit up doesn't seem natural to me.

Finally, the left section seems lighter than the right section even though the light is in the middle. I know the dark parts is because of the clouds in the right side, but the sun would have more of an effect on those in that case.

Apart from those, good progress.

Long term, to draw the weird shit I think and dream about. I love Ancient Egyptian shit and ancient civilizations, I want to draw stuff related to that.
I used to write but more people are willing to look at a picture than read a whole book
I also program so maybe design an interactive graphic novel of sorts.

Currently going through pic related, though swapping out Erik Olson's course with Vandruff's one on perspective.

Ok thanks bud

interesting character shape, but other than that there is not much to talk about

Tremendous tremendous poet. He's earned every accolade he's received.

You can't read your way to good rendering

Do lots and lots of studies from references and apply what you learn

Rendering is very time consuming

>>3057194

There's not much rendering in that painting, it's mostly lumpy drawing with some color layers on top.

this is why I stopped listening to people on this board

>>3058655
I know you're gonna flip out on me but why not just learn to make oil paintings

>>3058659
You're right, but I don't have the drive for it. Maybe another day.

>>3058664

James Gurney's Color and Light is very good. Also read the sticky.

But for quick tips:
>plan your palette based on color schemes like complementaries, triads, etc
>pay attention to saturation too, not just hue and value
>for an overall warm image saturate your warm colors more and desaturate your cool colors (ie. use bright oranges and greyish blues), for an overall cool image do the inverse, or use all saturated colors for a more energetic mood or all desaturated colors for a more somber mood
>small areas of high saturation or very different hue from the rest of the image are good for establishing focal point
>never ever paint an object in consistent hue or saturation, vary these for far more realism and "life," especially in lit vs shaded areas
>basically play around and try to judge what looks good, don't just use the first colors that come to mind, experiment
