i dont know who usually makes these but i dont care
there are too many "r8 my art XD" threads
post here please

Post your current drawing here and provide helpful criticism and advice to others!

This is not a thread to discuss your autism, the rest of the board is for that.

Please make sure your posted image is clear, DOWNSIZED TO AROUND 1000 PIXELS WIDE, ROTATED TO THE CORRECT ORIENTATION, and that any unused space is cropped.
If you want critique on a drawing from the previous thread, you can delete it there and repost in this one and then kill yourself.

stop trying to make every still life a unique and special snowflake. I paint the same apples for weeks at a time. a loaf of bread is like two dollars at a grocery store. bowls, vases, pitchers, and baskets are dirt cheap at thrift stores. if you want to do still lifes you are going to have to paint the same things over and over again so make sure they're things you like.

that said, i like the fake orchids. the rabbit is okay. turn the book so the pages face you, and ditch the toys.

could come down to the palette you are using. I use mostly opaque paints and if they aren't opaque they're semi-transparent. if you are using transparent or semi-transparent paints and you aren't doing washes it can help to mix a little bit of your white into it if its a thicker white like titanium.

a lot of it just comes down to painting more though. you'll get used to the medium the more you do it.

anyways here's this i did more to it. gonna call it done for now and move onto a new painting

>>2860696
You're right, I just tend to think things look right and then when I finish shading I notice everything that's wrong with it. I think that helps in the learning process though, because I can at least identify which angles, etc. ended up wonky because I wasn't paying attention. On to the next one!
>>2860770
I don't get the whole crusade against giving you validation, I don't mind your work! Are you a jerk or something? Gosh!
>>2860795
It comes off as flat to me, I don't really know what to look at. Part of that seems to come from a lack of line weight variation (although I'm no expert). I like the wobbly line work though! It's nice to look at (especially the front wing).
>>

Brian is mentally not completely there if you've ever seen his work
>>
>>2860868

and good point, i might shade the upper part of the right wing so it falls back. And it might use different line weight, but this ship kinda sailed. Charms of ink

Dunno if you should be hiding her eye behind the hair. Superiority can be expressed in the eye

Also, the way she holds the gun isn't convincing. Finger should be around the trigger ready to pull. Otherwise it feels odd, almost non-commital, and certainly out of character for a pirate.

Aside from that I like how you've handled the drawing and composition!

you're fucking terrible, draw everyday for 5 hours for 2 years and come back asking the same question and then maybe we might, just might notice you.

other things that bug me: the placeholder sign is ridiculously long and not at the center over the entrance.
the through at the bottom left has too extreme perspective going on.
the bottle on the ground looks wobbly/messy.
that board on the left house, it looks weird peeking over the wall i find, don't know if that's intentional.
also, I don't know if this is intentional, but I'm seeing faces, one in the tree on the right at the bottom of the left branch, a smiley face on the far right trunk right under the flowers and a frowny face on the mushroom above the horse. the skull on the bottom right I assume is intentional? under it, at the very bottom in the grass it also looks like the top of a skull, looks weird.

I enjoy the muted colors, but am not a fan of the turquoise in the background. Also, desaturate your yellows. It is a bit garish.4

Your handling of forms shows slight improvement and your brushstrokes are becoming more confident and smooth.

Looks about the same in regard to technique. Try to develop new techniques in your work.

Composition is more complex now, but still plain. It is clear that you are tackling more difficult objects like the woven basket. The lighting is much more dynamic in 2017.

Overall very derivative of Van Gogh, like you are trying to copy him (not in a good way).

Overall B.

The fuck are you on about? Yeah practice, but don't bottleneck your understanding of universal shapes. You may be fucking rad at drawing an apple but then ... how the fuck you gonna draw shit that isn't food and basics? The toys add an air of difficulty because they challenge how interpret multiple shapes forming a complex object. The hardest still life I was ever given was a bunch of 80's cartoon jell-o molds cause they weren't angular and yet held a ton of detail you needed to capture solely in the shading and not diverse color. Try doing that after 50 apple studies.

>>2859710
noice shading on them feet. Digital impasto is my fuckin jam. What are the lines on the right most cheek for? Left over gesture?

>>2859861
The line works okay, few mistakes but nothing too bad. You should work on line weight though. That might add some motion to the piece. Also, wings do not look or function like that. You should do some wing studies and then use a reference. You need to view wings as muscles and understand that they are not simply laid one on top of the other, but rather make a complex varying range of motion in different poses.

>>2860487
oh yas, i love gestural marker studies. Very nice.

>>2860537
challenge yourself to not rely too heavily on line in the touching up process. If you're going to pencil shade, you need to learn to create contrast in your shading, not your lines. For example, the chin looks nice because there isn't a hard line indicating it's there but rather the contrast between the top of the neck and the light hitting the jawline. Use that times 10 for the hair and details on the face. block out your shading before you try and put it all together.

>>2860643
unf, love it. Especially the implied lines on the males head/face. Only thing out of place is the chains. They don't seem to show weight or motion. Some of the chains are jumble where they wouldn't be.

This is an eyesore to look at.

You need to utilize more contrast in both line weight and detail to help differentiate major shapes and subjects. More detail and thicker lines around important things & less detail / thinner lines describing less important things.

Changed the horse and bottle. The sign and board too though they're not fixed in this version.

>the through at the bottom left has too extreme perspective going on.

through? idk what you mean and no, I didn't draw any faces, at least not intentionally.

I have to add typography to some of the signs and finish the sky but I'm not sure yet, I always
fuck up when I try to color so maybe just an analogous composition for the sky and everything on the ground and analogous composition for each of those parts.
>>2862563
That's because I have no clue what I'm doing so I just put detail on everything without any consideration and hope it looks okay when I'm finished.

A, but things are looking hella busy behind that statue, and it took me a while to spot your character. I think you should make the statue bit bigger to cover up some of that noise, that character too, or do <something> to make sure people notice him at first glance.

Anyway pretty happy how stuff turned out... I started to draw 13 hours ago... already had to tape my fingers. ... sometimes I think I'm doing something wrong since everything takes to blooooody long. Or I'm just slow I don't know.

It's not horrid, I like it. The houses have very nice + charming detail and the atmosphere of the piece is good.

You do have a perspective problem with the foreground figure though.

If there are things like doors in your composition, it's very easy to reference the size of figures, and this one does not add up.
The figure needs to be a lot bigger to not appear tiny and "off".

"Wrong" when it comes to simple perspective like this is not up to debate, neither is it subjective.

It's a matter of construction, and in this case, the scale of the figure is plain and simple wrong. Personal opinion does not matter, it's math.

If a more intense sense of scale is the goal, they need to rework the composition and staging - not pretend that something is correct that is evidently not.

>>
>>2863762
A standard exercise is to do still lives from life, but only use five different values, No airbrushing, no soft transitions, no gradients and other bs - just five tones flat with hard edges.

That forces you to simplify, actually pay attention, and find value relationships that work together.

Also by the look of your painting: Don't paint from imagination. You're not there yet and it will drag you down. Study life, learn anatomy, study actual armor, actual poses, paint from casts etc.

Thank you, that's a good idea. but I'm going to anyway because it's what i like and what I want to do, not falling for that meme of doing arbitrary garbage you don't enjoy because some autismlord in china said so.
>>
>>2863786
Sure, who am I to stop you.
But at least consider doing some research. I mean you can sketch from your imagination, then collect some photos of actual armor and try to incorporate the details you find there into your image. No big deal, yet you will improbe greatly. That's not arbitrary garbage, that's how you avoid poor design and symbol painting.

What kind of critique are you after? You have the correct answer right there, use your eyes and attempt to understand whats wrong. Why have you drawn elements of the face you can't see, is that intentional? Why are you only deviating slightly from the reference? Paint with an opaque brush so you can draw with purpose and attempt to make more deliberate marks.

Don't do this, man. It's way too complicated.
Learn to hold a pencil properly, use your shoulder and learn to draw a straight line.
After that, draw from life a bit, mugs, lamps, whatever lays on your desk. Then, draw spoons, boats, modern architecture or something that emulates gesture without being organic.
What I described should take you about 2 months. It doesn't mean you can't draw things you like in the meantime, tho.
>>
>>2863918
you are probably right, but i gotta say that i am only on my second day of gesture drawings and already it has helped me coming up with gestures on my own. mind you the porportions and stuff hit the mark pretty badly, but compared to before it is at least somewhat of an improvement that i noticed today. i'll go through keys to drawing to train more for now

I will tell you why I think this is happening to you. Your bad habit is immediately starting your drawing when you get to the drawing board, as well as starting a drawing without first thinking about what you would like to draw. I think it is this because I've done it many times before and it would lead me to have a similar problem.

Firstly, if you start drawing something with nothing in mind, pinch your hand until it becomes uncomfortable and erase your drawing before you get anywhere with it. Stop before you become invested in the drawing. This is a monstrously bad habit, in my opinion it is on par with chicken-scratch.

Next, spend some time to think of what you want to express, and visualize the character design and pose that fits your goal of expression. ANYTHING is FAR better than nothing, and you WILL get better at it over time. A pose is subliminal information about the character you draw. You could say it accounts for about 40% of what makes a good character drawing. If you don't consider it, you are relying on the highly improbability that you can finaggle your head into some posture that you weren't even thinking about. And every time you decide to not come up with a character design and pose is a lost opportunity to take even a small step towards the likes of Kim Jung Gi or any other godlike sketch artists. Because I guarantee you he knows exactly what he wants to draw and express before he even starts and is monstrously good at this process.

Your biggest problem is the nose and mouth area, and you are also sometimes making the eyes too high on the head. Make sure you add enough hair or don't pull the chin down too low.

With the nose sometimes you are not thinking of the plane of the nose enough, thus it's smushed too much on the face.

I erased out the drawings I didn't redline because i thought it'd be redundant to draw over every head.

No problem. Your heads have a pretty good structure to them, and you are drawing the eyes pretty well, which is one of the harder things. You really aren't that far from a pretty decent head drawing ability imo!

Of course it's nice to draw what you enjoy drawing, but if you're seeking to improve, like he is, you have to come out of that comfort zone and draw some things you normally wouldn't otherwise.

I have a particular detest for this behavior because it brings me back to school days where the artists around me would always want to improve on their art, bitch and moan, but never put forth any effort to draw outside their comfort zone. So they all stuck to anime and drawing the same thing over, and over, and over.

lot of perspective issues, but the main ones are the perspective of the big loaf of bread, and the jug which i tried to alleviate a bit. Even seeing the photograph, and looking at the jug again afterwards, I am having a hard time picturing the perspective it's in when i look at the actual still life.
>>
>>2864438
Yeah the jug sticks out the most - the rest isn't so bad. I guess once you added a few deeper shadows stuff will come together - or so.
>>
>>2864467
you see why i need to grind on still lifes and life drawing everyday though. if I was getting them right everytime I could see easing off onto different subject matter but I haven't even gotten close to being able to eye perspective and measurements so I need to continue doing these.
>>
>>2864474
I loke this I would hang it in my living room. Don't be too hatd on yourself. But your dedication is great!
>>
>>2864438
The camera is tilted downwards to look at the table, so technically you are in a slight 3pt perspective. That means, that the ellipses of the jug are not horizontal anymore but tilted to the left a bit, as is its central axis. Your ellipses are tilted, but the central axis is still vertical, which gives it a bit of a distorted feeling.

Keep in mind thought that what you photographed is not necessarily what you saw irl, since the lens sees things differently than humans do. If you stood back further but zoomed in to get the exact same cropping, all your ellipses and distances would be quite different.

So don't get hung up on comparing to the photo too much.

hm. i can kinda see how i made that mistake since they are in the same perspective, just off a little bit.

I think I'll reduce the bottom half a bit, and add to the upper half a little bit, rather than try to match one to the other. I'll try not to make a tangent with the top of the jug.

The action is a little weird and confusing without the dialogue. Especially the bottom left panel. I assume the guy on the right is pushing the other one off? The camera changing position fucks with the space/personal orientation also. I assume the Kylo(?) panel on the bottom makes sense with dialogue as well.

>just flating for bloody hours
Here's a tip I remember reading about flatting. Most prefer using colors that are completely different than what the final palette will be. Red for grass, green for blood. Easier separation and saves time so you aren't wasting time color picking while flatting.

>sometimes I think I'm doing something wrong since everything takes to blooooody long
I dabbled in personal comics. I love being able to tell a story, but actually drawing them kills my motivation. One page per day is brutal, especially when you push for quality and aren't getting any payment. Realized I'd rather write/tell a story than illustrate it.

>Am I the only one with blisters on their pen holding finger
I developed a writer's callus on my finger when I was around 13 (the finger my pencil/pen/brush rests on). It was painful at first, but that stops after a while. The callus doesn't go away.
>>
>>2863003
How are you flatting? At the very least I hope you have a way to make use of the wand. Creating Actions for expanding selection and a more convenient way to floodfill (remap ctrl + backspace), made my life so much easier.
>>
>>2863003
>>2865623
what does flatting mean ? it feels like it means colorizing the comic but then I don't understand why it would be hard or needing to outline, can't you just use the multiply mode ?

Without wanting to be overly negative I find it weird that someone of your skill level would think that paying money would be the best option to improve.

How much do you draw daily outside of the assignments? To me I think you're at the stage where you just need to draw and observe more as getting better is just a matter of learning to see.

As it stands your image has such fundamental issues like anatomy/proportion problems and general weird form lighting, its as if you're trying to run before you can walk.

The shapes are too symmetrical or/and connected incorrectly, plus the proportions are wrong and inconsistent. Do gestures and maybe some plain copies to get hang of the real proportions, before stylizing them.

hey guys !

Need help on this turn around : it looks like it's a different character for each view, how could i fix it ?
is there anatomical aberrations (even if the character is not in a realistic style) ?
does it look off to you ?

Yes so basically in his example it means coloring the line art, but doesnt the multiply mode let you color over the line art without needing to outline anything ?

just end me /ic/ ;_;

landscape is my shit but I suck at it

are there any book/methods to learn to:
>fill the sky, trees and grass spaces
>draw landscapes with depth using only a pen/pencil without being fuzzy/messy

following the sticky, currently on perspective made easy, but is there any recs specifically to landscapes?

my drawings always end up very messy and fuzzy, like, you can barely understand whats going on or how far/close things are...

critique heavily, please

The most important thing:
DO NOT SCRIBBLE
There is no better way to make your drawing look shitty than to willy nilly place lines everywhere.

Look at this random sketch I found. The artist has created the illusion of depth using the following methods:
1) detail - there is more detail in closer house than in the house in the background
2) value - The closer trees are almost black, the trees further away are about 50% black, and the mountains in the distance are barely there.

The artist has also used contrasts in values to define the forms. Observe how the houses and the trees do not have a definite outline. The roof of the houses are framed by the trees and the trees are just a mass of value.

thanks, that looks nice.
yeah, I start to get frustrated with the trees and grass and start to scribble just to get the pain over with. Guess I will just try to find some more similar examples and try to learn the technique used. Also will practice the values and details isolated instead of doing a whole landscape to be able to patiently commit the time to it

Establish a horizon point so you don't lose control of your composition

Almost all of your buildings are either lopsided or at an impossible angle due to the perspective

Just have it as a separate page on your site. I find having an image with the commission list is very amateurish. There's really no need to do this all while linking your portfolio to the list.

I don't see any evidence to confirm this statement.

And the defense of "It was shitty because i'm lazy" is a worthless thing to say if this is you learning. The no-soul asian guys don't waste time by doing things incorrectly out of sheer laziness.
