>>2402376
it needs a focus point. literally anything will make it more interesting

>>2402384
I agree with this. I honestly like painting boring-ass landscapes more than anything, but having something to focus on really does make it better. I would put it more middle-left though.

>>2402376
I like how it feels on its own without a focal point. It feels so vast and free.

>>2402376
focal point can also be color (for example) and not A Thing. it just needs some kind of contrast. it doesn't help that you have everything neatly enclosed and roughly symmetrical.

I usually do bulk updates every month

>>2402464
I had the same fear, I always felt that perspective is something that's very difficult, reading posts with lots of long words and terms. It's actually not that hard. One of the harder parts of studying from a book or by yourself is less courage and the possibility of postponing it. I didn't try learning perspecitve out of fear, but when I started my architecture prework, my teacher made me do 2 point perspective, and holy shit it's easy at the basic level. Not that hard even when you get more complex. Don't be afraid of it, perspective really isnt that hard. The harder part would be knowing which sort of perspective and where to use it.

>>2402511
huh, really? it feels so off to me, there was a clear feeling of my hand and brain not really working in sync. its also a kind of flat pose, so maybe thats whats bothering me. i'll be reworking it anyway

>>2402572
Looking at it again, his biceps come down way too far; he wouldn't be able to bend his arms. If you're concerned about the pose, I think making his front foot come toward us a bit would help. Mako is stiff but I figured that's what you're going for.

>>2402301
Replied to you in the other threat before seeing the new one:

"It reads more as Audrey Hepburn, maybe Rachels hairstyle would've worked better?
Anyway, love your stuff, keep going"

>>2402583
the arms were my largest point of irritance (the torso would be too if i didnt cover up the whole thing har har) so i'm glad its not just me. as for mako, shes always kind of lacked a sense of spacial presence in the show due to her jumping around all the time, but it might also come off as a crutch kinda deal, i might just fix her as well. thanksss

>>2402421
enclosing is a good thing, esp when you're enclosing around a focal point so you can lead the viewer's eye to it (wink) but you had every element in the pic (rocks, mountains, clouds) going from outside to in. and having everything lead to the center is generally hard to pull off without feeling stale. that said, I really like the changes you've made and I think both versions are much better for it.

in the photo her head reads as a ball, and you made her face super horselike long, with a skinny jaw, but the skinny jaw isn't there in the photo to be exaggerated. What should be exaggerated is how round her face is, with huge eyes and minuscule mouth, her nose should be kept normal size in contrast maybe. This creepy girl is how anime would look in real life.

Struggling with the eyes : Is the reflections seem natural? And what about the size of the iris, wich one is too big or too small ? And finally the braid looks pretty flat, I don't know how to correct that.

>>2402482
The biggest problem with this is you are compressing the torso. You are drawing the shoulders and then you shorten the stomach and draw the hips. Look at how the girl's shoulders align with her hips instead of her bellybutton. I feel like this is a common mistake, as I have the same bad habit, and I would suggest you do some 8 heads anatomy exercises to correct this.

>>2402838
There is a bunch of stuff to work on, this is pretty bad and would require a lot of pointers, but if your friend doesn't want to post here, why should we critique it? He will just dismiss what you say to him.

Can some draw me a person sitting in a car, but from the perspective of someone standing in a toll booth? I can't seem to visualize or find any examples online.

looks like you are thinking too hard about fabric and hands. the feet are covered and you can't see the rest of the body but i'll assume you have a hard time with that stuff too. it doesn't look effortless. just do some hand practice and fabric practice from life

wouldn't be a bad idea to practice drawing your hair too it looks a bit too solid in your picture.

Thoughts on these? I feel like I'm doing something wrong that's very obvious but I can't seem to find out what.

>>2403109
The face is kind of strange to me. The mouth stands out in particular, I'm not sure exactly what, but it seems off somehow. The expression is really blank and off putting as well. The hands are weird too, for me the fingers are disproportionate and the anatomy is a little wonky. But that's just my opinion. Besides that, really nice!

>>2403157
From a technical standpoint, The composition is OK but it's really dark. The clouds are even black for some reason? And you need to work on the values a little bit. The cathedral should be the focus point, with more detail and brighter lighting, to guide the eye there. Right now the brightest spots I see are on the ground in front of and to the left of the cathedral. And that's where my eye is guided more than anything. From a creative standpoint, it's a little bland and generic right now, but that's completely OK if it's just for practice.

>>2403198
Nice! I like the coat on the right. Her fingers are sausages tho and her face looks like ayylien. Also she has no clavicles. I like the shading though!

>>2402834
Try to sketch a little cleaner. Right now it's super chicken-scratch. Regarding the face, he doesn't really have that much of a jawbone, the lighting makes it look like he's puffing out his cheek. The ear is low as well, as a general rule the lobe should start at the same height as the bottom of the nose, and the tip of the ear should be at the same height as the eyebrow.

I know I'm not really that great but I hope my crit helps anyway.

you obviously didn't study expressions very hard.
Keeping the eyes wide open and the mouth ridiculously petite makes her look like a porcelain doll.
When a person smiles (genuinely), it's not just their mouth that changes by curving upwards.
Their eyes crinkle up, their cheeks get pushed up and their mouth widens.

You're not taking into account the context, what he's drawing is an impossible ideal of an already idealized standard.
Based on the nose and shape of the eyes he's clearly drawing an Asian female so I think you should draw your comparison to that.

Also it should be clear from the drawing that it's not an ear-to-ear smile, just a small grin which shouldn't curve the mouth that much if at all.

There's even a term for East Asian skin/face which is the "porcelain complexion" which draws a comparison to what a porcelain doll would look like.

I'm liking the feel of it so far and the results are better than I expected. Before I go back and continue with it, what are some things to keep in mind? I'm planning to fix the irises, but what else can I do to improve the face?

Ah, didn't realise she was Asian, assumed it was simply the remnants of anime style (like final fantasy) - the green eyes and light colored hair threw me off.
Never heard of that term 'porcelain complexion', but that definitely fits with what he's going with.
Regardless of whether he's going for a wide grin or not, I still think that some of what I mentioned can be applied or hinted at to make the expression look more natural.

sorry for dumping, I found this one I did few weeks ago. I think I'm falling again for pencils.

>>2404138
Anatomy is screwed up and you are chicken scratching. How long is this pose? It looks like you wasted time on the face that could have been better spent getting the figure more accurate, assuming this isn't from a photo. Also don't skip gesture and construction, it looks like you just jumped right into drawing contours.

>>2404138
>>2404245
Oh one more thing, to work on chicken scratching, make sure you are using the "overhand" grip on your drawing tool and draw from your shoulder/elbow, focus on staying loose. Take time to think about your marks before you make them, don't be afraid to take it slow.

That's a good point too, itr was supposed to be a small smile but even so I think it did not works as I had hoped, thanks anyway!

>>2403612
Thanks anon, I will try to take it present, however I have noticed that some of you, compress the range of value and manage the contrast in that range, maybe I'm wrong but I've noticed Catbib does this, his paintings come off as quite low contrasted but his values are still quite effective.

Btw it feels weird that some of you like these more than my tight pieces :S

>>2403662
You know at some point I think I deviated for the worse on that, I just noticed an earlier version which I honestly like better than my latest iteration, either way thanks for the advice

Look at the thumbnail, her nose is really high up

>>2404363
Try timing yourself like 5 minutes gesture, 5 minutes construction + anatomy, then 5 minutes on adding tone. Then change around your time allotment based on what you have trouble with. Also when doing any pose under like 20 minutes you can just do a block in of the face and move on, even as little as drawing a vertical line for the center of the face and a horizontal line for the eyes gets the job done. Remember to squint!

>>2404464
thanks. I think i'm pretty ok with gestures but the proportions in the gestures can be a little funky.

with the gesture, should I work on proportion, or leave that for the construction portion?

>>2404469
It's good to keep proportion in mind while doing gesture, but don't be a slave to it. The gesture step is your chance to really push the drawing and get some energy into it, each subsequent step will sap away some of that energy as you refine it so don't be timid.

>>2404474
what anatomy book would you recommend?

I just dl'd bridgman but it's a bit confusing although i'm trying to work through it.

I tried vilppu but i just made weird blob people (they weren't terrible but he didn't really teach anatomy)

I guess i'm just a bit lost on how/where to start learning/incorporating anatomy into my life studies

>i know somethings off, tell me what it is would you?
This won't sound very helpful, but a little of everything. I don't know if I could say that one area is especially weak or if another is especially strong.

What I do know is that you can very likely remake this - many times better - with your current skill level. And the trick to that is to use references. You'll need references for a human skull, whatever animal(?) skull that mask part is, materials, etc. Most importantly is you'll need a reference for the pose and the overall placement of the cloths.

What you need to do here is set up a camera on a timer and photograph yourself striking that pose and other variants. Try out what feels natural - think about the action and the scene - what happened just before this moment and what happens after. Try out different lighting and camera angles too. How does setting the camera on ground level affect the mood compared to a head-level camera? What's useful here is that if you get the pose and camera angle just the way you want it, and you also set up your light sources and use towels and blankets as stand-ins for the cloth, you now have references that solve most of the areas you're unclear about (perspective, pose, proportions, folds, lighting, etc).

As a general tip, if you plan on including a background, plan that out first using thumbnails. Composition is important, and shouldn't be an afterthought slapped onto an already finished figure. If you don't plan on using a background, use something other than pure white or black so that you can better judge your working values. You can even go up a notch and introduce your background color as an ambient light source to ground the figure on even a blank background.

Don't listen to those other 2 crits. They are just in /ic/ mode and feel like they have to say SOMETHING negative. The light values with harrsh lines is a really cool style. The colors are pretty rad as well.

it does look like you had a hard time getting in the details of the helmet. How large is the original? If anything work on larger paper so you have an easier time getting in those details. I'm talking at least 11x17. It takes longer to render out all those large empty spaces but the outcome looks much much better. Like supersampling a game.

I usually blend with white, but not always. It depends on the level of saturation/color you're going for. For example, if I wanted to dull down a blue, I might blend with a light orange. If I wanted to brighten up a green, I'd use a yellow. It's kind of like mixing paint. Using white will always give you a smooth, even blend but it'll weaken the saturation of the pigment considerably.

If you practice with them a lot, its something you just get a feel for. Also color theory helps.

Thanks, agitprop style is something I'm trying to achieve and bit washed out colors suits that. But I have to admit that mid-tone blue is slightly dull for being source for darks. I'm looking forward to turn these two tones into separate grayscales and then search for matching values from studios color chart. So basically I just did colours for myself and to bring the concept together.

What comes to that size, I blew it totally. It's around A5, so even as scanned A3 might be as far as I can go. Good thing is that dpi is relatively low for that printer, so overall impression with rasterised surface will be more or less noticeable.

And yeah, most of the small details became either bit chunky or just messy, that would never happen in a bigger scale. I kinda try to keep in mind that even drawing should have a focus somewhere, but that's not an excuse for that.

If I had to make any comment I would say that her jawline needs to be corrected and that that the base/base of her head is too flat since we have a small deposit of fat around where the spine meets the skull.

>>2407029
no wonder she broke up with you.

>>2407440
Use a nonwhite background, use darker values around the eye so it's separated from the fur by more than hue, define the nostrils, and thicken the skin around mouth.

The sketch is done. Anything I should fix on the coloring stage? Thoughts on improving the composition, maybe via coloring? I've got a thumbnail done but I'm open to suggestions.

>>2407944
Why do you color in red? If it's not a stylistic choice it looks bad. Is this referenced? Where is the full pose?
