Damn dude, not offense but this is pretty nuts. You are spending hours polishing a turd.

After 4 evenings you still haven't got the drawing right, haven't got the general colours established well. You painting is really muddy and the shadows are just going black basically. It feels like you are relying too much on things like overlay or colour dodge or burn. Any of those digital layer and brush modes are pretty dangerous because they push the values very extreme and push the saturation a lot, and in very predictable ways.

Stop mindlessly rendering and take a few steps back and then just spend a little bit of time correcting the big main important things.

I love what you did with the overpainting and it's great that you gave me a strict critique. I know that I definitely need to get rid of those black shadows. I just find it easier to work from bark to light so I'll definitely do that. Going into rendering too early is also a big problem that I have... I'm don't understand your overpainting 100%.

Are you basically saying that I should bring the darkest darks closer to midtones and that I should emphasize all the attributes like the beard and jacket to make the character design more interesting? If you could just elaborate more on what you were going for with your overpaint that'd be great. I was all ready going to make the scroll super light so I really don't need to hear about that but yeah. Thank you!

Naturalistic or hyper complex pop culture works, yes. Of any medium - sports, videogames, soap operas, whatever. Just play to your interests, make it less painful, and remember to expose yourself to the areas where fans of that medium gather.

It's not to my taste but it's well done. There's a variety of different ideas there and they're all presented clearly and looks like hte artist producted many iterations quickly. This is what real concept art looks like. People's perceptions of things are messed up because of Art Of books which are mostly filled with polished material.

>presented clearly
It's an indiscernible mess.

Not sure what yours is OP

Centurion, Alexander or The eagle?

>64GB ssd
>doesn't even factor in the bloatware

what do you think?

I don't GET this product. Like... what is the point?

>>2728714
they said their target demographic is young artists on the go
its cheaper than other products
can use regular paper on its pad
and has an attractive design

but it is cheaper
the touch screen has no pressure sensitivity
and has weaker specs

you overall get what you pay of course, but is it competitive at its price?

Simply don't spend over your means?

>>2727329
Most pro artists I know use the medium size. The large is actually too large for many people. I use the medium and have used it for a number of years and am glad this is the size I have.

More money doesn't mean better. I've used cintiqs and hate them, really the medium intuos is the best imo.

>>2727333
Thanks dude.
Yeah, I've heard a lot that Medium is the optimal size

But one of the things that made me anxious is the fact that Feng Zhu, who is a top industry artist, uses Intuos Large.

So that's why I want to see other great artists who use Intuos Medium

FAQ:
Something's broken, what do I do?

>The site is currently in the alpha phase of development and is being built around us as we compete so sometimes things go wrong. If you ever need any help send me a tweet @LavaFlake or shoot me an email [email protected].

What do we draw?

>Whatever you want. At this point there's no required topic so draw your heart out. Make sure you submit at least a half hour of work or you may get a low effort warning.

What's a low effort warning?

>The goal is to get people to draw every day by turning it into a competition. The low effort warning system is to prevent people from posting last minute, quick sketches when they're feeling lazy. If you receive a warning and it happens again within a month you'll be eliminated.

>This rule has been the cause of a lot of concern amongst newer artists so let me reiterate: this system is to police low effort content and has nothing to do with the quality of the work. New artists are more than welcome.

What happens if I'm eliminated?

>A new Last Artist Standing challenge starts every week. If you get eliminated then get it together and rejoin next week.

How can there be a new Last Artist Standing challenge every week?

>This is a way to let new artists join in and to allow re-entry for the eliminated. Every week a new challenge is started. If you joined on week 1 and make it to week 2 then your daily submission counts for both the first and second Last Artist Standing. If you get eliminated then you're eliminated from both challenges and you'll be able to rejoin next week.

Will I have an advantage if I join later in the week?

>The winner of a Last Artist Standing will be the artist with the longest streak. If you join on day 1 and last until day 85 then you'll have a streak of 85. If there's only one person left in the challenge when you're eliminated but they joined on Day 7 then they'll need to continue on for another week. If they're eliminated before then, you win.
