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.

i mean does that look like an ellipse to you ? should be easy to answer yourself m8

Yeah you're right.
I looked at it and realized I drew a fucked up rectangular oval.

Guess I gotta go practice ellipses.

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

So don't render everything. You'd need to make it fit with some of the armor and other scenery, but you could leave that face as-is and it would be totally fine.

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.

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.

>>2394288
>that's what her nose looked like

>>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

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.

pretty much. pick a blue, a red, a yellow (for example) and mix from there. in traditional painting you would also use a black/white to adjust value but you can do that easily in photoshop without changing the hue. neutrals can be created by mixing complementary colors. the goal is a harmonious palette.

Since it's sometimes difficult to tell how well you are in certain areas I was thinking of a away users could reply showing them how well they think their particular image scores in each area
Sometimes people comment things like "Your perspective is fucked" or "your sense of colour is great" and the artist hadn't realized

What do you think? How can I determine the scale of the graph?

>>2395476
I like the idea but there are two main problems I foresee. You couldn't make the scale in numbers because that's virtually as meaningless as saying it's shit. You'd probably have to make it something like beginner, amateur, intermediate, etc. The second problem is there are people here who'll call anything less than Mullins amateur or lower and other skewed perspectives so anyone getting a grid critique might still end up no greater informed of where they stand than before. It would be cool if there was some kind of standardized critiquing process though, it might cut down on some of the shitposting.

Yeah, I was told the same thing today at a university Open House, I'm going to go back in and make it a pretty strong blue instead of black. It's brown, but it still looks like garbage to me. Thanks for the feedback, always looking for it.

He looks like Detective Stabler. Also why is his face all the way pressed up against the edge of the canvas? If you haven't been, you should give yourself more room to work because running up against edges like that makes you distort things, and right now it looks like that half of his head is being pulled into a vacuum or something.
