I'm starting to have some serious obstacles with this other one, I decided to make another version in order to fix the body (L), but there is something about the right one that I find more appealing and even more correct.

I would like to know which I should resume, or if I need to make a frankenstein with pieces from both.

Still trying. I feel more confident with pencils, but I'm not sure if it's up to par.

>>2378065
you're problem is you aren't looking for variations in the contours of what you are drawing well enough. so you're left with these extremely simple shapes to render, even if they are measured accurately. Look at the cuffs on the pants, or the boots, or the apple he's biting. They are such simple shapes they are almost basic spheres, cones, and cylinders. So even though you are rendering everything properly there just isn't that much challenge in what you are rendering, and the resulting drawings look waaaaaay over rendered for what they actually depict.

take these hands i drew as an example >>2375020
they aren't rendered as fully as yours, but the shapes of what I am drawing are much looser, and would open up possibilities for more interesting rendering. I hate to say "draw it wrong and it'll look better" but just try and loosen up a bit. Find those weird curves and angles that'll make for more interesting pieces. maybe try not constructing everything so much and just eyeball the measurements. you're bound to get something wrong but you'll learn to roll with mistakes in the process and i think you'd be better for it.

one thing I've noticed in your work firez is that your skin tone is always too uniform, it makes them look very plastic. try for some sub surface scattering, blushing, veins or something. One of the 'rules' that I follow is making the chins hue blue, the nose and cheeks red and the forehead yellow. Basically, it gets warmer where the blood is closer to the surface.

>>2378087
His works are really nice, btw his lines are way better than mine.

Anyway what do you think? harsh crit welcomed.

>>2378070
I get what you're saying, and I appreciate your advice. To be frank, I was trying to get the basics down as well as I could, so it was a conscious decision to simplify the forms.

I'll do my best to make the shapes more complex as I move along. Thank-you once again.

I've never used water color so I can't give any tool specific crit, but what I can say as that I do like what you're going for.

I would probably make her upper lip solid since the way it's currently shaded makes it look really flat. You'd also see her nostrils from that angle too I think.

The guy look ok, though it look like hi chipped the bottom part of his lip.

that's all I got. Keep it up!

I also like right figure better. Hand has better placement and character seems to be closer to the viewer. Also head/rest of the body proportions seem to be better, left suffers from too big head.

heads don t look like squares IRL. You need to smooth some shit while keeping hard edges on others.

Even then you would need more than 2-3 gradient of gray.

It's mainly lighting practice/character design.

>>2378222
hello meer. and I'd try putting a background in which would help show you're trying to do a lighting study instead of just a white background. I'd also try to change colors on the line art (like on the jacket for example) from purple to something that goes with the green. It clashes a lot.

you usually do upper arms too short
your facial structures are drawn on a box, all the volumes comes from a plane, face is not a plane, use some liquify or transform>deform tool to fix that keeping the same drawing

you would benefit a lot from liquify tool, to fix anatomy, just play with it , head volume due to hair on the back is missing, tits were to up, belly buttom is too close to the torso, torso is short, left arm is werid as right arm

I didn't do perfect but I guess you can take some inputs from this, keep the good work fampai

>>2378140
Too fat, too old, too ugly.

>>2378243

It's not awful, I like your piece. Personally I'd say what the other anon said, arm is fucked up, too thin and like it has no muscles/volume. I also have problem with hair and the back of the head, looks like she had alien skull. And those decorations in hair are half-assed but it is detail for later.

Arm and back of the skull/hair. Also take into consideration that I critique, but I'm beginner worse than you.

>>2378250
Not that anon, but this is an objectively shitty critique.

>>2378140
Something about her eyes is off-putting to me. Maybe they are too flat? They seem painted onto a flat surface rather than a part of her head. Also, your reds feel awfully muddy. Try to avoid using just darker shades of red, if you get my meaning. Maybe try to shift it toward blue or something. Finally, clean up your edges, senpai.

Copy another fur artists, see how they do it. They make your fox again from memory.

>>2378444
A lot of the details I'm referring to sound worse on paper. From my understanding based on what others posted here she's an entertainer - a video game streamer and former camgirl(?). I assume you've never met in person, nor developed any substantial 1 on 1 communication. When you combine that with the shear volume of drawings and paintings you've made of her, from the outside you look like an obsessed fan or someone with an IRL waifu.

We've seen a ton of drawings of her on ic alone, and I assume there are more that we haven't seen. It wouldn't be hard to imagine that you have a shrine wall of her, or that you could be an e-stalker in the making.

Granted the situation could be a lot less weird than what I'm reading into judging by your last reply. If everyone's in the know and nobody is bothered by it, then don't let me stop you.

I'd wager she's unphased because she's a camwhore so she's used to getting guys creeping on her. Judging by how he's always running to /ic/ for validation I'd also wager his parents don't pay much attention to what he does or what he tells them. He's said he aims to have her model nude for him in person, so we'll just have to watch how that all plays out.

the most i did to drawing a nude photo was pic related, and she said she didn't mind the boobage. but no pretty much 100% of her nude pictures are taken in a dungeon lit with matches and would be terrible to draw. or it's like a close-up of a nipple which is good for literally nothing lol. i'd like to do a portrait of her though, i would like to draw her in person but that's not really controversial.

They do? I don't post since long, but from what I see is that quite a few people give him useful critiques and comment regularly on his art. Also he is mentioned as one of the better drawing d/ic/ks.

He surely seems to be better tripfag/namefag than say, Nosebro, illastart or other fucks.

>>2378606
Are you just trying to deflect attention away from Brian's creepy obsession?

Cause they cant even draw a straight line so they get so frustrated when they see someone better than them that they feel they need to harass him.

IC is nice but full of stupid people.

>>2378638
i think the firez hate comes from the overwhelming amount of help he gets and the minimal results he has, between iterations of the same drawing and about anatomy ( faces particularly) in general.

But i love him so what do i know.

>>2378658
Yea, he got some problems with faces specially, but not like if those problems could be solved in one day, everyone has a different learning time, Firez is not the best on IC but he's definetly going to improve a lot if he practise harder.

Who is Brian and who is he obsessed with?

>>2378713

You've got a whole lot of nothing going with no clear focal point. If i were you I'd bring the camera closer to the characters, don't be afraid to crop them. Get a tiangle going between them or sonething else that leads the eye. Think about what you want to convey, are they fighting? Is the woman a benevolent goddess? Currently there's nothing to clue me in on who's who and what's going on, there's no atmopshere. Good luck.

>>2378713

Also as it is right now the female figure would tower over the male. Not sure if that's intended but if not it's something you will want to fix

Is there a premade perspective grid you can pop in as a layer?

>>2378658
>overwhelming amount of help he gets and the minimal results
This is what annoys me. For the years I've been here and seen his work he still keeps making the exact same structural mistakes every single time, especially on faces. He never learns to properly construct a face or body because he just relies on moving things around with the lasso so even when the rendering looks nice the underlying picture looks like a collage of pieces of pseudo anatomy. I don't like him because every time someone suggests that he at least try learning construction he tells them if they're not going to help to shove off. So I just don't bother with him if I can help it.

dude. choose one of the following:

a) spend the next 6 months drawing from life 1-2 hours per day every day, then you can draw badass fox head from imagination with relative ease (and anything else).

b) noodle around with this fox head for 50 hours. give up as it still looks like shit. rinse repeat for the next 12 months, after which you can draw fox heads that look maybe 20% better than what you started out with.

I know this post is old now but I'll reply anyway.
Do you mean the paintings or drawings in particular? At this point I'm just trying to work on understanding the planes of the face a bit more, I'm not really going to go into rendering until I can paint w/ a good brush economy and my values make sense.
Idk what you mean by 'square' though, I'm guessing you mean how I shaded the sides of the head to be really flat? I'm really just trying to show some better 3d form w/ it desu.

Do value thubmails first. Make a dozen trying out very different scenarios, camera placement, and lighting, etc. Iterate on the best one. Make some color thumbnails based of the winning value thumbnail. Make preparatory sketches and then studies based off that thumbnail to flesh it out. You now have the blueprints for your finished illustration, with 90% of the composition solved.

Point being that you're currently showing us a WIP but your plans as far as values, lighting, cropping etc are unclear. A value thumbnail is a means to ignore most of everything else, and focus on nailing the composition first and foremost.

>>2378713
>>2378952
Forgot to add:
When judging what composition works best, it depends on the story you're trying to tell, and how you want the audience to feel about it. I'd read Framed Ink if you haven't already. It's mostly concerned with comics/graphic novels and cinematography, but most of the same rules for narrative and design apply to illustration.

I was scared as fuck of doing something with colors from imagination in Photoshop, I did try a bit the first few days I got my tablet and that wasn't nice. So this is my first try after like 3 weeks, and I'm quite pleased desu senpai, but I don't improve by being pleased. What do you people think?

I might do something with it tomorrow, might not. I just want an opinion on what for better or worse reflects my current skill.

>>2379332
Boring colors/palette only based on one color, would b the same result if you just drew with values

>>2379332
Looks great! I think it would be beneficial to work with more contrast, its easy to mute colours when painting in photoshop

>>2379338

Yeah, you got me there. Kind of expeced since it all started as the guys nose and I just colorpicked everything else from that, haha. How do people bring more colors to a face or skin in general? do they just do a bigger palette and colorpick from that, or is it something that comes after the fact?

Wolf head is too small and why does it have eyes

>>2379350
Well, skin isn't one color in real life. There will be redder parts, yellowish parts, purplish parts under the eyes most of the time, on some places these colors will be more saturated depending on what you're going for; don't forget that color variation is not only "different colors" it is also different chroma... Then the shadows will be different colors too... Aside from generally reading up on color theory you can look at portraits with great colors and think about how it was done. Look at photography under different lightning, etc.

Forgot to say that your portraits are way too red for realistic skin. Skin has a fair shair of yellow blended in with the red. It also depends on people, tan, etc. Pic related : more orangeish than red. You could look at photographs and try to figure out exactly what the colors are - red skin is only an assumption, it's like symbol drawing. You have to think.

it looks like you put a lot of time in constructing the form for the body (which looks pretty good) and then you just shit a head on there.

Think of those facial features as 3d forms like you did the body. Non of the facial features look like objects with depth. The hair is the same.

This probably isn't the proper thread, but which of these works better? The full monochrome, or the bits of colour?

>>2379596
I actually really like the bits of color

>>2379596
I agree with >>2379599 The bits of color look really good actually, esp. compared to the monochrome one.

>>2379585
well. you fixed the arm, but that hand is still fucked.

>>2379596
Definitely color. I couldn't tell what was going on right off the bat from the greyscale version, compared to the bits of red. Also, goddamn, your lines, comfy as always.

>>2379594
You've got some volume in the cranium but that's completely lost by the time you get to the chin, even in that upper left clump of sketches (which show the best sense of volume). You should do some chin constructions or studies. Also remember the lower plane connecting the jaw to the chin. Some people have problems avoiding giving a double chin look, but once they get that down, it really adds a sense of realism.

>>2379565
Your smoothness is always so good. But there's also something really enticing about the hard edges here.

>>2379565
kr0npr1nz? that u?

>>2379602
also phew. one down. I usually don't tweak on hands so this is wierd. if i had to guess what was fucked I'd say its either the finger length or overal hand size. maybe the pinky, but it doesnt look that unnatural imo

>>2379604

Oh, weird. Before even reading your post, I looked at your picture and to me, it read as a 2 panel comic. "Before" he started painting the man, and the after result.

>>2379559
so you only leave chromatic aberration on the black blocks like dress/hair? is there any knowledge to it or you go by intuition?

>>2379674
I use it very sparing and very subtle. And only on spots that have high contrast, like the black on white.

it makes me sad it's such a terribly used filter because if used correctly it does add a bit of accent colors. Like the way kr0n uses it is just god awful. Just a flat setting over the entire image.

So just use it like you would see in real life (there is chromatic aberration in the eye) on harsh bright lights.

>>2379421

Almost everything here is a half-assed shitpost of nothing worth saying. All this incomplete shit babble and shitty complaining serve no purpose whatsoever.

Why the fuck don't you people complete some thoughts or try to develop some sort of coherent communication skills.

This is a sincere critique

So if you get butt-hurt. Fuck you and leave already.

At least firez is nice as fuck.

Most you are cunts with a chip on your shoulder.

Lurk more. He's had plenty of bitchy moments. Maybe if you weren't blinded by his semen you'd notice.

It'd take a fucking saint not to lose his patience now and then with the way this board behaves the second he posts.

>>2380859
Oh! Thanks!

>>2380860
I suggest learning from his mistakes.

>>2380840

give me your blog nerd, or else

>>2380859
Why bothering sending people there now? Half the stuff that's been posted here is highly stylized.

hoo wee

relatively new to digital painting

>>2380937
Why would you assume your critics don't draw?

>>2378511
> i dont like the way that lil bitch is looking at me

>>2380942
I'm not assuming, he literally told me he doesn't draw

>>2380952
Okay, but how is that even relevant? Do you actually think there's only one? Do you cling to this one person admitting they don't draw so that the others will be more easily dismissed? Come on, senpai.

this is that one guy probably

too busy being a faggot to draw

>>2380964
Or, you know, it's not. But deluding yourself is easier than considering that much more likely possibility.

The curving of the chair legs looks like she's 10 feet off the ground. Reducing the curvilinear exaggeration will probably make it look more natural. Nice planes on the feet though.

>>2380975
Not him but do you have to drag this out? Every time someone brings up that guy it gives him a chance to do that 'oh who could ever hate loveable old me <3' crap and I can't stand it. Just know you're not alone in your opinion and accept there's no point beating this horse. All it's gonna do is kick up flies and dust and it's all going to settle right back where it was again.

I'm only trying to dismiss the shit posters. I have nothing against a non artist criticizing my stuff.

These sketches are really messy. I'm still working on the ability to completely establish a good form and volume. I think I still have problems with facial anatomy, not to mention figures. The whole "draw not what you think, but what you see" idea is something that I really need to wrap my brain around when working with reference.

>>2381011
You have a really interesting way of blocking in! You should check your values though (in black an white), try to really push the character as your focal point.

>>2381019
Welp. I literally just posted but it's really not a big deal, I guess. Better luck tomorrow? :/
