Also doing some line practice.

>>2853639
Head feels huge. Proportions are a bit large in specific areas. Could be fixed. Rendering effort could be greater. Needs more contrast. Also learn what is appealing to the eye. Also line variation instead of just thick lines would help your piece greatly.

>>2853641
Proportions are off so perspective seems super weird. Shoulders for example are too large.

How did you learn to draw the thigh so thicc?

study the form/muscles and then try to exaggerate them.
helps to look at girls with nice thick thighs.

People need to be more specific about what they want feedback on. Posting something with no context or vague, general requests for feedback is simply impossible to critique in any meaningful way.

At least you downsized it on your own
i quite like it, although i feel like the outline could vary more (like be much thinner on the cheek)
also, your crosshatching is messy- i like it on the left eye only. It would be better if you left the lower part of the face with only one layer of lines. It is a total mess under his chin

Thanks mate, hope he will! First kinda-comission (the payment will barely cover materials, but i gave him a nice discount)

is there any software that mimics real life pencil paintings? I just tried to make a realistic shaded pencil portrait on photoshop but it feels awful.

I hate that you have to lift the pen if you want to go over the same area and produce any changes instead of building up as in traditional techniques. This makes blending a total pain.

the eye is a lil more open, but still- much too far, adjust it and you'll get smaller jaw as well. Lips are a little bigger on ref, depends on how faithful you wanna be to it also the upper.. em lid? of the right eye, i think it should be smaller angle

Pose is unbalanced unless she's perched on something. One of her legs is shorter than the other, similar issue with her arms. There's a bit of a tangent where the hilt of the knife meets the jacket zipper-whatever-thing. About the line weight - well, you're just gonna have to simplify the rendering style if you want to put some colors on it. Would look more interesting if the details were drawn with a smaller brush, but overall it's nice. I really like her smile. Keep up the good work.

wasn't me saying that but the texture of the hair on the ass is unsettling and reminds me of a hairy man's ass which I'm sure wasn't your intention. You're on the way to somewhere but I think blanketing on the hair texture all over looks weird. I don't know much about how furry art people normally do it but I don't think the rendering is done in that fashion often. I guess you should just look at some other artist for ideas.

>>2854053
Crushing the blacks and blowing out the highlights is going to make it look flat if you don't know what you're doing. There are ways to do this well but unless you have a specific reason to it's better to avoid doing both. You're also using black to render shadows which makes things look dirty.

>>2855057
I honestly respect your work a lot, I love it, only by understanding the methods of previous greats can we truly discover our style. The one issue I have with your work is your still lives are quite boring. I think you should work with a figure, this style of painting you're in right now would look great along with figure. I have seen figure ones in this style (or similar to) by you and enjoyed them quite a bit.

I think the best route for you to go is into fine arts, conceptualizing ideas and executing them. I don't know how much you fuck with this notion of Atelier artists being the pinnacle of art, but it's all bullshit, and a waste of your time if this Atelier-esque dream is your goal. Your art lends itself to more than that.

I might have gone on a pretty big tangent, but I just just wanted to say that, I also don't comment very often. I respect you quite a bit as an artist, you push past all the negativity that is on this board, and keep going forward. /ic/ needs fewer negative people, and more people giving real critique. More than half on here will burn out because they follow ridiculous mantras that are just ridiculous. We make art because we enjoy it, and people on this board ooze that they just want some 1 step program to success, and from what I see that you post I don't get that vibe.

Good on you, Brian, keep on going.

>>2855045
You need better work ethic for either of those, simply copying their styles is not going to get you there

>>2854708
An important part of painting fur or hair is knowing what detail to omit, overuse of texture brushes is not going to ever look as elegant as thoughtful, simple painting.
Keep in mind that more detail is usually seen in lighter areas as opposed to shadow.

>>2855057

>>2855189
shut up brian and work on your shit. YOURE NOT GOOD

>>2854708
The issue is that the styles clash. You made photoreal fur but the eyes and facial features still look cartoony. Also, I don't think furry stuff can work when you make it look too real cause then they look too much like actual animals instead of anthro characters. Plus the character you're drawing has heavily stylized proportions that are suited for a more simple style, they don't transition well into this type of rendering. Try to keep the fur simpler next time and avoid bringing things to that level of detail, it doesn't work with most furry art imo.

I wasn't terrible. I knew how to draw anime, lulz. I guess you could say that I was a beginner because I didn't practice my fundamentals but that all changed when going to art school. It really kicked me into gear and I'd say I improved by 70% in 4 years.

My only bits of advice would be, if you can't afford it and have to take out loans, DON'T... There's plenty of helpful critique, mentors, communities, info, etc. online for FREE. You just have to take it upon yourself to work and grind everyday single fucking day, even if you're in art school you have to grind everyday and I'm not even that good. Luckily, I was able to get a full-ride scholarship.

Oh, one last thing about art school, I was fortunate enough to find work while in school but I know MANY fellow classmates and graduates working as dishwashers and cashiers. I don't want to dissuade you but honestly, ask yourself if you think you have the chops to validate going to art school and finding work.

Again, don't want to dissuade because it can be so helpful and fulfilling, post your work?

I've done a few a few digital plein airs recently, this is my first one in oil. I am trying to slowly get decent at landscapes so I can do a few from life when warmer weather starts.
I would want to know what I can try doing better on the next one, so any advice/critique is more than welcome. I am trying to do these in one session ( I did do a quick underpainting/sketch in raw umber on this one but that's it ), because when I will be doing them from life I plan to do them in one session.

I am still practicing oil painting and will most likely not finish this, but it would be nice to hear some criticism.

>>2855804
Ehmm not sure if you are going to like what I have to say. I do not want to insult you or be mean, okay?
As first, Don't draw/sketch with black, it always looks kinda ugly, especially if you try painting between the lines, it also makes your painting look flat. Black lines can be used! But it's mostly at the end for stylistic choices.

Second, There is no proper value difference in your painting, so it looks even more flat, I would study how value works, casts, still-lifes with a lamp, anything. In your painting it's visible that you don't have a good understanding of values.

Drawing, The hands look pretty cool, but the face has symbol drawing going on, areas are fine, but let's say the eyes look strange, there are just a lot of drawing mistakes.

Colors can be stylized, but you should definitely try getting more understanding with them, observe a lot, paint from imagination but using reference to figure things out, photostudies, studies from life.

In general, this is not bad, but not good either, you can do it though anon! Use some refs, fix it up! And just study a lot : D

summer is coming. i cant wait.
>>2856060
yeah its dumb hard to get anything more than a sketch down especially when its cold outside. hopefully this summer I can try returning to the same spot more than once on a bigger canvas.

>>2855704
bring a viewfinder with you to get perspective right when you work plein air. other than that, expect to do most of the work on the painting in your studio because it's hard to get more than the colors and general shape in one session.

whenever I work plein air I always think I've been working forever on something and i check my phone and it's been an hour. it's incredibly draining working outside.

>>2856055
wow this is a real piece of shit. incredible actually if you think about how this amount of no skill can be composed on canvas.

very bad shit painting my dude.

Interesting brushes you got there

>>2856324

>>2856322
i really like your colors here but i think the anatomy needs work. her pose is unbalanced and her stance looks weak. i think especially the legs need work here.
the problem with the hands is that they look a bit week, like "anime hands", basically they dont really look like they are holding anything or leaning on something, they look a bit light and child-like
good luck with the rest of your drawing, if you look at more refs im sure itll work out.

>>2856176
I think you're really good at rendering but the design of this character just isn't appealing imo. I get that maybe you want an unappealing design or whatever this is just my personal preference talking.

Search for hand/feet poses on google images/pinterest/deviantart any place really they're not hard to find, or use your own real life ones as reference. Sketch them all, don't spend longer than say 5 minutes on each. Mileage is more important than making pretty pictures, you trying to LEARN here so make that your priority. Look up some tutorials on constructing them too.
It's might be a pain but if you commit to drawing them all in a set time and don't give up you'll come out the other end knowing a hell of a lot more about hands and feet.

>>2856466
How do you sketch a hand though? There's all these wrinkles and stuff like the palm and the knuckles.

>>2856468
That's the reason you need to do this, you'll learn as you go. Maybe your first 20 attempts will be trash but youll get 1% better with each one. If you're worried about drawing too many wrinkles and details set your self a 5 minute or 2 minute timer and stick to that, then you won't have time to get caught up in details.

i can only recommend you focus on learning the things you find most difficult. just hiding hands, ears etc wont work forever. i know its a bit of a meme at this point but i really recommend taking a loot at fundamentals, try drawing real people, even if its just a hobby it will help you make your cartoon drawings look better when you really understand where to approach things from. good luck anon

Does anyone else have any cheat codes like this?

It's incredibly helpful for drawing from imagination when I don't have to sit there and think "how do I move this vanishing point to get to here?"

>>2856578
>cheat code
It's not really a cheat code if you have to train it and make the image clearer
When I do it, I see multiple perspectives, so I can't draw what I visualize, it's too vague still.
Maybe one day I will harness the control to be able to do it, but today is not that day.

>>2856578
Also, I'm always sure to pop a ground plane as a point of reference so I can mentally run which lines are parallel and which aren't.

A ground plane.

It's still better than actively thinking as to what does what. If it ever looks off, then you can sit there and screw around with it until it's correct.

before i read i was gonna say you have a sameface problem, and it's not the cheekbones. all your eyes are soulless almond outlines with black cirrcles that all look the same. your noses are all have no thought put into them at all, and you need to stop doing that black top lip shit. Go do some separate feature studies of eyes, noses, and lips and pay attention to details.

Really good start.

Next time start on a grey background, compress your value range and only have a few areas of complete black for your darkest dark and complete white for the highlights. This will help it sit in space and not be so flat. That being said really good so far.

Next work on your edges, its harder to do softer edges but you're alright, just add a few hard edges where the form turns more suddenly rather than gradually. Cool brushwork tho.

However, before all that look at your proportions and anatomy, the head is too small and for a girl the shoulders are usually the same width as the hips. Be careful of over rounding all the forms, allow the lower abs to flatten, and lets the breasts show more weight, etc.

And draw the fucking hands and face next time you pussy. They're super important.

Good work on the faces, but the legs and torsos aren't proportionately foreshortened; the legs are too small, or the torsos are too big. It also looks like the dude is jumping, while the girl is standing idle, and cut and pasted sideways.
The guy's legs are totally off, too, unless he's meant to have a massive gut and a pelvis that sits a good foot and a half below it.

Lucky you, I personally barely get any crit and I don't even know why

Please don't be like that, actually take the criticism to heart instead of seeing it as a personal affront (though, to be fair, it was phrased like an insult).
Anon is right: that's not quite what a hand looks like and the light makes your drawing like something out of a Thomas Kinkade concept drawing for a Pixar movie dream sequence.

That fur is way too much. Like everyone has already said, you need to scale that detail back for a character like that heavily. Honestly in general that level of detail is absurd and takes away from the focus, and you should use it subtlety on focal areas/areas of light. The butt can be that ragged, but using it excessively in dark areas looks bad. It's honestly better to be controlled and subdued with a texture brush in general than go insane.

tl;dr you over rendered, and not in the right places. There's quite a few good artist to ref if you wanna see how to do a better job with it. Veramundis does a particularly good job. I like it in this aswell (not mine).

Jesus, what is your problem anon? They wanted to draw different faces and they drew them of different skin color, they didn't even mention anything about it. Stop being a gigantic cock, people like you are one of the sole reasons /ic/ is turning to shit. Go to /b/ with this garbage.

>>2858170

You really shouldn't respond past the point he starts tossing out racism/trolling. Just report him and move on.

As for your image >>2857854 , it looks fine, but the face on the ginger woman is off. Like the nose has too much depth for that angle, or she has outward duck lips. Also for females, I think your faces are a bit too square.

>>2858172
I like how all the shit minorities are smiling and only the white women look miserable.

Fucking white apologists.

>>2858171
i actually think hes underage and stayed up all night watching stefan molyneux videos with a few too many energy drinks
cant wait for him to screech "NOT AN ARGUMENT" at me
im not even a fucking liberal/leftist
i am actually really opposed to them currently
but when im on /ic/ i dont give a shit about politics and i want someone to bitch at me for my color values rather than their own political obsessions

>>2858172
Anon was just protecting them from going down the wrong path

>>2858172
thanks for the actual criticism anon, i noticed that there was something off with the ginger one (its probably the one i thought about least) i'll go ahead and work over it tomorrow. and the square faces thing, i think its a result of me trying to get away from really round faces that dont have defined cheeks at all. need to keep it balanced.

>>2854053
was gonna say something about your scale, but then i saw the birds. they s'posed to be giganto.

No he wasn't, he was being a cunt, plain and simple. There's a snide level to the initial remark he made, and approaching people with different opinions, political or otherwise, is not resolved by being self-righteous, it's retarded when either side does it. But that doesn't matter, this is /ic/ go somewhere else for that shit.

>>2858179

You need to get a fine mix. Bottom left womans face is a bit long too btw.

>>2858184

Those colors/strokes are extremely satisfying. Is it alright to ask what brush/program you're using? Also is that a blue reflected light on the bottom of the apple? Where is it coming from, just curious.

>>2858176
Your art sucks.

Better, you fucking pussy?

>>2858193
wow thank you..

Ah, I guess the light from the bottle is just blocking the monitor light from hitting it a bit. Either way, incredible. Your rendering is very nice, all I could really critique is maybe the materials are all a bit too samey due to the brush choices/edges?

think you would benefit from lightening and possibly saturating your lineart

also makes it easier to paint over later so you aren't accidentally blending black into your shadows

Nice little perspective study. One major issue is that the 3rd VP is wrong. If you're looking down at something vertical lines will converge downward. Here we're looking down at a house but verticals are angle upward. Basically you did a bird's eye view with a worm's eye perspective.

I really don't like doing portrait studies from photos, but my subject was working so this would have to do. Currently working my way "The Artist's Complete Guide to Drawing the Head" by William Maughan.

Thanks.

About the 3rd vanishing point, it shouldn't even be there, this was supposed to be a 2 vanishing point drawing and in theory the vertical lines should be parallel and I'm not sure why they look like they converge downward.

Maybe you can help me out with this problem I have with the 3rd VP. If I'm looking down the vertical lines should converge downward, but what happens once those lines go above the horizon? Doesn't it look a bit.. weird? I mean, I understand that above the horizon lines should converge on a vanishing point up in the sky, but how do I do that transition between "converging down" and "converging up" at the horizon level? Shitty MS Paint drawing related.

muh ellipses, what have you done to them
also, maybe lower saturation a bit

>>2859037
curve them

OK
so I did a paint over so I could show you some points that I'm going to bring up, I hope that's ok with you

The flowers colors are a bit dull and washed out bc of over saturation of both itself and the hand, so there's no contrast between the two main focal points. To fix that, I darkened the purples and the greens, since the saturation in the flower and the stem/petals was almost the same.
To fix the focal point to the flower, I took away the illumination glare to the leafy part, which wouldn't happen anyway since they don't reflect light (to that extreme), they absorb it.
This is also something I took note to when painting over the top right leaf, since normally a leaf in harsh light wouldn't have an extremely darker part like a lot of other objects.
Think of it like skin, when harsh light hits, the saturation goes up but it won't quite reflect, in that way a leaf would be pretty much the same.
Though, since this is a rose its leaf is pretty thick and the light won't quite shine through it as much as a thinner one, and you did get the texture right, but I hope you get the idea that I meant to reproduce with the paint over.

I need to get better with colors

>>2859269
how do you manage to colorstudy a monochrome pic?

>>2859274
Basically, I was just making up colors then. Turned out kind of crap, next time I should just copy a colored photograph like a normal person would.
