Trying to get better at light&shadow.
I don't seem to get SSS, when I try to paint skin it generally ends up looking like plastic, as in the next picture.

This is what it normally looks like, and I just end up spending way to many hours, sort of trying to guess how it looks, until it ends up like the first picture.

>Trying to get better at light&shadow.
Are you guessing where to put the light and where the shadows fall? Your eye can't develop if you don't try to actively seek to understand light. You have to take real life or well-lit things and place it as an example against your image in order to understand what you're doing wrong. Also, your forms and lights are being lost, likely because you're painting over top of them. Don't erase the shadows you create. If you must paint over top of them, then paint over top of them again afterwards to keep shadow. Be mindful of what you're doing anon, you'll never improve if you just zone out and go into autopilot.

Interesting. Love the fluidity of your lines. Hands are too small though.
I know it's heavily stylized but as they are their size bothers me.

>>2459433

The head is huge. Overall your proportions are pretty off, like the hands and feet are too small too, and her legs are too short. Maybe try ease on the jaw, right now it's pretty square and makes her mannish. I don't enjoy all the redundant lines, make things look messy and that doesn't benefit this piece.

It's very hard to tell you where to start. The symmetrical composition makes sense for the subject matter but nothing is defined enough. The only way you can improve is to start looking at reference, even when the end goal is something abstract.

The shading is all over the place. You treated each form, shoe, chest plate, arm, etc. as if each were lit by its own lighsource instead of treating the form overall as a single entity with a lightsource. Not every form needs a matching value scale.

Her head tilts in the study yours dosent & conseqentulay the mouth nose eyes... everything, is out of place.
The nose looks like it curves towards you
The lips are to small and don't match the study otherwise either. the hair is also off, everything from the part to the back.

Here's what I suggest:
Loosen up, your to rigid.
Lay the basic shape of the head down first and make sure it's at the right angle.
Whatever you draw closely inspect it for accuracy to the original before proseeding.

horrible composition and colour balance. Start from the symmetry and weight, everything is in the middle and those are squeezed by rocks(?). Very strong lines are pointing towards girl.

Those lights from flying things, they make a really strong and disturbing composition. Perspective destroys depth and your lights are everywhere. Whole lower half is opposite colours, you need to refine your palette and add contrast. Lacks all the whites and blacks.

But good that you made a whole picture. Now just try something else and learn from this.

When you change tone for darks / highlights, are you just doing black and white at different opacities or are you selecting distinctly different colours at 100% opacity?

I cannot figure out which is better to use, or whether I should be doing both...
>>2460836
mine^

>>2460836
edges would look better sharper imho, like your color but i think that the super heavy textured brushes reaally detract from it overall. they also make it look dirty, idk if thats what you're after?
n also, the lines on the front. circle. thing? aren't good. i think too straight, they need to curve along with the form more

I did some seriously fast editing, never done digital painting so don't get too fixated on quality.

Dropping perspective does wonders, also tried to bring some values and fix lights. Didn't touch composition too much, so that the idea stays. But this is just how I see it.

>>2460838
not that artist, but definitely pick distinctly different colors. black at 50% over a colored form does not a good shadow make, same with white highlights

>>2460838
full range with brushes that have transfer on. dont worry about technique though

dont use black when doing colored stuff though like in that pic you posted do some life studies and observe how reality works. i think you are going in the right direction with your half tones

>>2460853
>brushes that have transfer on
what does this mean?

Sorry I'm pretty new

>>2460847
Yeah I started with a really vague shape using an incredibly blotchy brush and it was taking an age to sharpen, point taken o nthe circle around the front I agree the lines need to curve with the ship moar - would I be better off without using textured brushes at all and doing my own texture stroke by stroke?

>>2460852
ok, thanka

>>2460118
You got a tumblr or somethin?

>>2460860
look in the brush settings for transfer. try messing around with all the brush settings, downloading random pro packs and creating your own. when your just starting its best just to use default photoshop brushes though desu

>>2460861
no just here occasionally and for myself

>>2460870
Yeah I have a few of the settings beneath transfer in ordinary PS but I'm in Elements 11... Which is pretty barren for drawing in

Really lost with the composition. Not as much the general picture as the positioning of the human figure.

I'm not sure if this is an improvement but i just really think you should do something with the empty space on the right, and lead the eye to the human.

Thank you anon! That really helped. How about this?
There's still a whole lot of space because of the waterfall, but I do feel this may be a bit stronger as a general composition?

hey, like the other anon said, there's a lot of empty space on the right side which could easily be filled up with the dragon. the figure's placement is also a little weird here, you've shoved him straight into the corner! giving him a little breathing room would help the composition i feel, and it would get rid of the nasty tangents his staff and feet are making with the edge of the painting.

here's my take on it. i tried to use the bridge and the rocks in the composition too, to try and pull attention to the dragon. i wasn't sure if i should spotlight the figure in the foreground or leave him in shadow, but it might be something to think about.

i think its fine as it is but any suggestions/tips can would be helpful

>>2461560
Dragon-and-monk OP here and not that anon but, from a technical standpoint he probably just used the lasso tool to cut of the dragon and the rocks it was standing on to separate it from the rest of the picture in order to avoid putting the two main subjects on the same side of the painting.
>>2461574
Thank you! You're definitely right about the breathing space on the left. I already made some adjustments, but I'd rather not spam the thread with the same thing a million times. I'll post again once I have made some more progress. Thank you for taking the time to sketch out an example!

composition wise the lasso anon's repair is much better

>>2460172
I like the colors a lot, but there's a few major things differentiating from the reference.

The first thing is his hand and the mug. It looks like you just kinda winged that and didn't reference it as much. The mug doesn't look like ceramic, his hand is in a different position, and there's no shading on his sleeve / the sleeve looks almost skin tight.

Second, he looks sad in your pic, but perplexed in the reference. This isn't too big a deal really but since it's a study it's something to make note of. His nose looks a tiny bit bigger / fatter in your pic too.

Those are really just the glaring faults, everything else is pretty minor and should be practiced, like rendering the clothing especially. I think the skin looks fine in that style, but if you were aiming for a lot of realism you should try to render that too.

But after ripping that apart, I have to say I still like it a lot. You captured the idea of his face very well and got his important features like the hair, jawline, and eyes. Good taste, anon

you shouldve just made her hand bigger. dont stick to ref if it looks unnatural. remember that lines are tricky. eyes look at what's contained within them. they are a weird divider. you want your lines to be just on the outside of what they are describing, not on the inside or in the middle. that might not make a big difference when you are doing large forms like her body but for fingers it makes so much difference. especially in small drawings.

>>2462917
you should indicate the wrist, as it can be seen facing against us, leaving the fingers at a 90 degree angle pointing at us. on your drawing it looks like small stumps coming straight out of the end of the arm.

Critique

>>2463761
Basically you pull apart the reference to have something as basic as possible, reduce it to large chunks (or blocks), that you fill in on the canvas. Then you define them more precisely but that isn't the exercise. You should be able to make something loosely look like hair before even trying to render.

Go to the beginner thread, they're used to giving advice on this shit. But I'll tell you off the bat the first response you'll get is to stop symbol drawing.
Look at your eyes - do you think eyes look like that?
The eyelids wrap around a sphere. Learn how to draw a sphere, then learn how to wrap something around it, and you'll start getting an idea. Think more about the forms than the features themselves.

I guess specifically I was wondering what you guys think of her pose? She's supposed to be falling, and while she's falling she's turning to look at the giant people below her because she really wants to see them.

Is her pose stiff? I feel like it's stiff but I spent literally hours trying to make it not stiff idk

anything else?

>>2464269
Her right arm feels like it's infinitely long, or it connects weirdly to her body, I don't know, it bugs me a lot.

>>2463862
Here's a good one too. When painting really think about how much value range you have in your picture. Practice with this exercise to get you in the mode of thought: Make a small frame with your index fingers and thumbs and frame something in your field of view. Now a basic tidbit for you to think about is that every thing we see can be separated into one of three value ranges. These are White Grey and Black. You can have lighter values of white and darker values of white, same with grey same with black.
Now, looking through that frame study what you see and identify what elements would be white grey or black.
When you're painting you must keep this in mind otherwise your picture will wind up looking muddy and flat. If I look at the thumbnail of your picture all I see are a medium grey background and a slightly lighter grey blob. I don't see black and I don't see white.

Really try to separate your picture into these three values and have clearly defined "blocks" of value. For instance, the woman's neck in your picture could be black. And you could have variation of lighter black and darker black to add depth to it but looking at the picture at arms length you should still be able to read the image well and that means you have to use large blocks of value ranges. But also the farther you zoom in the more variation in those values you should see.

Tldr I dunno, keep painting
