Posted this just as the old thread was abandoned, so i hope it's ok that i make a new one here.

Making a short comicbook story about a joker victim, i don't know exactly where to take it yet, but i have an idea. Just trying to experiment with the style and look of it for now though.

Pointers and general advice about what you'd want from a story like this would be fantastic, and would you read it based on this one panel?

>>2452450
And the joker im going with is supposed to be a tribute to Mckeans joker, who will be listed as an inspiration and influence when it's done.

very nice

>>2452450
joker based stories are really overdone, even in official batman comics. i understand that its a cool idea to work off of, but due to everybody making something relating to the joker is getting old. id recommend an original story

art wise this is good, the composition is wonky. also there is a lot of negative space. seems kind of lazy, id recommend centering the image or making more visible.

one more thing, showing only one eye is intimidating, but again a generic idea.

>>2452419
Op, are you the painter of your attached image? If so, what's your tumblr or gallery, please? If not, could you let me know its source? It's very nice.

>>2452439

Scrap it, study a fuckload of anatomy, then try again at a much later point in time.

>>2452453

The composition is really bad. A good example is the tree on the right; either have it overlap the gnome or place it much more to the right. Before you waste money on paint, leave this. make thumbnails, change things around, pick a comp that is clear and leads the eye around in a beneficial way. If you found one l, use that to redraw this and then break out the paints.

>>2452458
Thanks dude, i actually think i'll follow everything you said. It all makes sense, and that's the first time that has happened to me here.

But negative space is kind of crucial for that panel i think, i have to make the reader feel how alone the person is in the nightmare, that there's only him and the psycho in an empty space. I'll play around with the composition.

I have to pull the face down, and maybe centering him a bit would be better, but i think pulling him even further back into the shadows and making him a bit smaller will strengthen the feel it needs.

Coming up with an original character is going to be a blast, thanks for the advice man.

>>2452470

Nice but I think you could ease on the dark of your darkest dark juuuust a tad. Reserve the pure black as an oomph for details.

Very wonky anatomy. Most of the issues I see are with proportions. Her shoulders are too narrow, arm is too short but there are too many off proportions for me to list them all. I'd recommend doing some 5-10 minute gesture drawings from reference with a strong focus on comparing scales of body parts to one another as well as capturing the weight bearing points of all the limbs and joints.

>>2452928
I still stand by everything I said. I mean look at that ear. Whoever drew this has serious issues with proportion and perspective too. Pro doesn't mean a whole lot, really. I could call myself pro based on some of my freelance gigs. Pro doesn't mean perfect, it just means you get paid to draw and the threshold for that isn't so high that you expect to never see a working artist who's got flaws in their work. Rob Liefeld, for example.

>>2452899

The brushwork is too tight on the face, most evident in the eyes.

Loosen it up more and use a bigger brush to match the texture of the rest of the body.

nah, you'd be there forever when the problem is actually the backing that you can't see.

Hope you don't mind a redline/paintover thingy. Proportion-wise your copy's head, hands (esp. her right hand), and both feet are too small. Torso is also a little too squat. Don't use so many brush strokes, it makes the copy too messy, try for simpler, bigger shapes (I'm not really much of painter though, so I am not sure how helpful the left two pictures of mine help...). Colours in your copy also seem a little desaturated.

I know he was probably just copying pictures, but still. University's anatomy books artists are actually well paid, but it's difficult to get a job and it's required to draw actual human organs. I mean you have to copy a real fucking lung and shit like that, the smell is often terrible and it's actually difficult because you have to stylize the organs to fit their role as medical illustrations.
My old professor did that for some time

A couple suggestions

I really think you should push him back into the darkness. With the way you have it, he feels like he's in a "conversation zone" though from the description I feel he should be at a "stalker distance" if you catch my drift.

Symmetric composition is meh, if you want to keep the straight on feel, i would maybe have something asymmetric about the character. Maybe you don't see his eyes, but you see his smile? Or maybe it's an interesting light pattern where you're not getting the entire form of the character itself.

You have the skill, it's just trying to push the concept further than what you're showing us.
We should be able to read what the image is conveying with or without the text. Push it further from the cliche and it will definitely make for a MUCH stronger image.

>>2453450
Yes! Added it to my favorites. Thank you so much!

make sure you really examine what your face looks like, it looks like you may have a symbol drawing issue. ie) drawing what you think is there rather than what is actually observed.
i think there are some exercises that deter from symbol drawing in the wiki, google probably has a bunch as well.

because when your focus gets to a certain point that graduation of blue will totally leap out and travel across the work of art.

I couldn't do much more as the surface was bumpy from previous attempts so it sort of was a problem with breaking the viewers trance. Also, it's been a real struggle with actual depiction vs. visionary message, and I know you guys don't dig that thang. So.

You need to more clearly define your foreground and background, through something like value change, colour, line weight, amount of detail, anything.
It's extremely hard to read because it's so flat. Which is a shame cause I get some cool vibes from this otherwise.

it would benefit from better line control, not something you can fix in this piece per say but move towards it in the future.
you have a very simplistic thing going on with your values in this piece, if you do shade the mouth just make sure its the same black you have as the rest. i think a mid tone would be funky.

any advice/critique would help

>>2454257
not sure if I'm qualified to critique but I'll try

the shading for the abs make her look chubby(unless that's what you were going for in the first place) which make it look like there's fat hanging around her belly
composition wise I don't know what you're trying to portray so it's a bit confusing since the eyes easily catch my attention but then there's a lower half which also catches my attention so my view is easily divided rather than looking at one whole picture maybe move the focus/framing a little higher since I prefer looking into her eyes and focusing on the contrast with her head and the robe

aside from the I really like it anon can't wait to see it finished

Everyone else already commented on theshadows, I think the composition needs a little more breakup between the cape and the background unless you wanted it to blend together that muhc. It's almost getting hard to tell it's a cape though, just push it a LITTLE farther.

so the problem with the fingers was that the outline around them wasn't tight enough to the fingers, and they looked longer and the hand looked wider as a result. the underpainting is yellow so it was blending into the fingers and making it look like that was a part of the painting.

small things like that make all the difference cause you guys are right it looked strange before

>>2453514
thanks dude, i'll try out some stuff

>>2454547
Is this supposed to be fixed? Why? Why?? Why bother having a model if you're not going to use it to make corrections? Just look. Just look closely that's all anyone is trying to say to you. You don't want to go for photo realism that's fine, but if you bother having a model to use for reference you must care about accuracy or correctness to some degree so just follow through on it ffs.

only thing I can say is don't skip the construction phase. once you have a solid base then it will be easier to add the forms.

>>2454629
I used the lightest markers for construction (almost invisible, especially in black dude's face), but maybe I'm just sloppy as fuck. Any advice on levelling up in face construction? Been studying Loomis, Hampton and Steve Huston's vids on heads.

>>2454641
Get comfortable with proportions and the planes of the face. Study the Asaro head, and give Proko's facial features videos a try.

people kept saying to color things so

>>2454565
hes older than that and his expression is more dour. you should more accentuate the features that lend to that look. Basically I think you held back and flattened the image a bit too much.

Consider a different shade for your shadows - the current one doesn't really fit in with the orangeish/yellowish lighting and skin tone, and looks more like well-lit mud on the face than any actual shadow.

On the bright side (no pun intended) I like the definition of the cheek plane with that light, and the highlights that emphasize the shininess/oiliness of the nose.

Doing some redlines for warmup I guess. And I have a tonne of energy right now. If you're still working on this:
-I think your main problem is that your head seems small
-The head seems too far forward if you want it to be straight up. I'm not sure what the story is so I don't know what the pose should be.
-Her left hand is like super wonky (digits bending wrong ways)
-Practice making cleaner lines

>>2454627
why markers?
You'll get a better bang per buck with most other mediums and have way more control of your marks.

>>2454069
>>2454370
Pay more attention to shapes, like, look at their shapes. Keep your shapes simple and separate your light/dark shapes before adding detail.
>>2454257
I like the colors. I assume you want more attention drawn up to the face (yeah?), so you could make an obvious gradient from dark at the bottom to light at the top to draw attention up. Just an idea.
>>2454481
Of course. What artist isn't? Work on structure and form.
>>2454492
Work on structure and form.
>>2454626
>>2454627
I would try working slower, and focus more on structure and form. Try thinking about the features fitting into and onto the skull more. Up your contrast too, bring in some darker darks. Definitely work slower though, you don't need to actually finish a whole head at a time.
>>2454708
Start a new portrait study. Your current drawing doesn't really have much to build off of. Next time around spend more time thinking about the skull and it's construction.

Hope this helps someone. I'm fasting today and for some reason I have a lot of extra energy, and time, apparently.

no, you can draw another one better though. I think you need to better your grasp on anatomy a bit, and then go slower with your shading so you can get a better result.

Looks like you're beginning to get the basics down. Your moving up the learning curve. Just keep drawing horses again and again and each time try to just improve one aspect of it and you'll get there.

>>2452928

how long have you been drawing?

>>2454626
Those quick studies aren't meant to teach you how to accurately capture faces in a vacuum, they're mostly for training your speed and adding to your visual library. The human face is to complex to be able to learn to draw it well from just doing it fast a lot.
Do sone slower studies and don't call them sine until they look right. Figure out why they look right. Study construction and how faces and heads are made up sui you can understand how all the little pieces fit together. If you can't draw an eye, how can you expect to draw a face with two of them?

>>2454242
get to the beginner thread mate

>>2455119
Face and neck look both too long.

>>2455119
Colors just use white for highlights, try temperature changes rather than just mixing in flat white; colors reflect light differently and the light that bounces off will be tinted with the surface color. The pose is awkward but I understand where you're going with it and think the bigger problem is the anatomy. This looks done from imagination, but there isn't enough understanding if the human body behind it. Neck is too long, arms are bent and stretched to fit the imagined pose, weight is not distributed along elbows, cup not sitting with weight in hands, fingers incorrect, hair flat rather than drawn as locks on a rounded object, face profile inaccurate (eyes are sunken too far or the bridge if the nose is too thick) ear is incomplete neck is connected to the head incorrectly, clavicle on far side incorrectly placed...use reference and these problems will be greatly reduced.

>>2455119
um... it's a bit stiff. neck a bit long, her right shoulder a bit far forward. her left arm, the shadow is giving it an odd look on the shoulder. pointy fingers and thumb. right arm forward is a very uncomfortable pose.

take a photo of the look yourself and try again.

Aside from the size of the ear, which I'm assuming is supposed to be that large because you're drawing an orc or something, the angle that the ear is drawn at seems to suggest that we're looking at it directly. However, in this picture, it should be tilted backwards, flush with the head.

If your intention was to draw an ear that protrudes from the head, then you should have kept the base of the ear flush against the head as normal and instead extended the pinna with a distinct curvature and hollow, rather than the flat human version we see here.

It looks like you used a reference for the ear, but you got a reference taken from a profile shot rather than a 3/4 shot.

You've never seen my art (which receives around 6-9 positive replies every time I post) yet you will say you're better than me.

>>2452935
Dude, check those proportions. The lower part of his face is melting, his nose is gigantic due to his deformity, his head doesn't fit on his head, his ear is too small and looks like it's cut in half.

Then we have the askewed features, as the top half of the face is more or less 3/4, and the nose and the mouth should be 3/4 but are more like a profile, and to try to fix this you drew the left nostril more protuberant, and also the left part of the lips, when you should have brought them back more to the middle of the face, and shown more of his cheek.
Also, you drew the right eye like it was a front view. Everything together makes this a bizarre flat drawing of a deformed man.

You will get there, though, you make some beginner mistakes, but your lines are pretty clean for example. Study more from real life and don't try to skip the measuring of the features you lazy fuck. Good luck

Your only values are from 0 to about 40% grey

Go darker. Way darker.

Left shoulder blade appears to be warped slightly leftwards. Similarly, the two dimples on the back are placed in a way that suggests slight scoliosis, compared to the overall curve the the back.

Lastly, the curves on the outsides of the back don't really match the curve of the spine you've set up, which suggests that the center of the spine has been twisted towards the left, while the ends have been twisted towards the right. I'm assuming this wasn't what you were going for.

Take this really bad paint drawing I did that highlights why they don't match up.

hands & fingers are too standardized. when you hold something, your fingers dont all line up, looking exactly the same and decreasing in length incrementally.
each finger will bend to wrap around the object in a slightly different way. heres a couple stock pics i smashed together to try and demonstrate, and remember to look at your own hands
in general, just don't standardize parts of the body. try and imagine the really complex ways things are angled and remember that there are very few poses where the right and left arms or legs can be drawn the same way, ya know?

noice
oils or acrylic?

>>2457166
oils. im fiending for anything other than student grade but i still haven't sold any paintings :( i just can't get things as chromatic, light, or dark as i want. I know it's good to work with materials with limitations and I shouldn't complain but it would be nice to have higher quality paints. I think I could utilize them well.

I like this drawing, i like your line work, I look forward to seeing this one finished.

Finished this last week. I'm starting to ink my drawings

Yep, this looks good. Are you that guy who does figures with weird proportions? Maybe you should do less figures because this is great.
