I've got the suspicion that it's the whole perspective of her in correlation with the setting, or is it the arm only?

>>2510209
your perspective is missing, it's flat and that makes it look whack because it's a dynamic scene without dynamics.

The pose and block-in is alright, but the composition it self is kinda boring.

Flipping it upside down is a great way to also see mistakes when in faces when it has progressed into the rendering phase, even if you've blocked in in just right adding details like lashes can really kill it and imbalance it when you squint or zoom out.

I am gonna apologize for my english right now because it's obviously not my main language. So teacher in our class gave us one task. We should choose our idol or someone who is inspiring to us. It has to have at least 20 sentences and there are some other things that you have to do but I don't remember them. Since I have no real idol I chose Friedrich Nietzsche because I like his literature. I decided to not do the main task and instead do something different. I had an idea of depicting his philosophy and do something minimalist. First thing which came to my mind was just writing his name on top of a paper and give that to the teacher but I am little afraid that the teacher will not get it. So I am looking for a way how to depict nothing and let her see that it took me some time and it wasn't from my laziness.

Hmm, it looks a bit flat up close. I think your problem might be you don't really have any variations in value on the top of the head, and across the shoulders. Values on the middle part seem fine.

Start by focusing on values. What you painted has basically no contrast, you gotta fix that before you worry too much about painting anything.

Drew this just recently. Any advice?

>>2512502
Are there exercises I can practice to better understand values

>>2512504
Stick to black and white for now. Practice breaking down the face into simpler shapes of value (example, the two major shapes of value in her upper lip, or the large shapes of shadow under her eyebrows). Right now everything is a little too sketchy and you're trying to get finished results from the start, which is why the values are not coming out. Still, decent rendering on the more finished eye, but you're too early in the work to be trying to refine any parts.

construct the face as much as you can. big planes are more important than being specific about the form of what you are drawing. likeness isn't that important it's more important that it looks like a human face. if there are imperfections don't draw them. construct construct construct

>>2512662
haha i can see the golden mean spiral composition in that nice, i'd suggest using a softer brush for the far distant parts of teh pic and then use harder textured brushes for midway on the steps and then back to softer brush for the closer steps. The idea of this is to create a focal point.

A good example of focal adjustment would be 'bokeh effect' being that mostly in portrait and up close subject matter the bg defocuses while the focal point sharpens.

>>2512583
The person who replied you wasn't me, and to be honest I don't agree with his/her approach at all.

This is going to be a long post, and I'm sorry if it gets too long.
I have a different "plan of attack" depending on what I'm going to paint, and how fast I would like to paint it and what I'm searching to express about my subject. But I know that doesn't help, so, to give a few pointers.
I usually start placing the values with an underpainting, generally burnt sienna, but it can be another color depending on the general hue of what I'm painting, if it's a really warm painting I choose a cooler color for the underpainting so things get balanced. I almost never really draw or "construct" with a pencil, I place everything with the brush itself, using guidelines for the center of the face and eyes/nose/mouth only, trying to respect the individuality (or what attracts me about it) of my subject the most I can, avoiding formulas or searching too much for patterns. I usually mix 3 key colors that will be dominant in the painting, for example, for that one, I mixed a warm pink, a cool gray and an orange, and I mix them between each other mostly (so it keeps being coherent and clean) or with other colors, lighten or darken it as the necessity for that happens. I use very little turpentine (mixed with linseed oil).
Also, something that is constantly overlooked is the quality of the surface you are painting on. Most people buy canvases and paint directly on them, and they are mostly very rough by default. I personally find it very stressing and difficult to work the paint in rough surfaces, because I like my paint to go very smooth and easy. So I primer my canvases with 3 layers of acrylic gesso and then sand it, you still have texture but it's much better. You can also gesso paper and cardboard and paint with oils on that. That particular one was painted on cardboard.

>>2512771
(Still me)

But still, you will see people who start the painting with a very detailed pencil drawing and the painting looks great, you will see people who paint bit by bit with what already is supposed to be the finished thing and it looks great, to be really honest, the right way to paint is the way that you feel comfortable with and that works for you. I personally like to place the colors altogether to have a general idea of the painting so I can work on more as it goes.
I use a restricted pallete, which I plan on expanding, but I want to be the most confident I can with the colors I'm using right now, which are:
Burnt Sienna, Cadmium red, Magenta, Lemon Yellow, Naples Yellow, Ultramarine Blue, Ftalo Blue, Payne's Gray and Titanium White.
Learn about Color Bias so your color mixing gets effective if you still didn't. I hope I helped you.

This comes across as slightly creepy, like a doll or something. When people do genuine smiles there will be creases or dimples near the corners of the mouth, the nose gets a bit wider, and the eyes naturally squint slightly, perhaps even getting some wrinkles in the corners of the eyes.

The catchlight in the eyes can maybe be a bit crisper and the pupils much more black.

Is the hair supposed to be partially white, or is it a rimlight? Right now it reads as white hair patches.

First of all, all the leaves are brown; second the sky is grey.
But anyway, this is pretty bad, man. It's a clear beginner drawing, I am surprised you didn't add a few birds that are just "V"s on the horizon. Go study the basics, practice shapes and forms, perspective, then values, color theory. Of course, study anatomy, figures and gestures, because I know you want to draw people as well, you just don't know how. Start posting your stuff on the beginner thread and good luck.

>>2513429
im not a fan of this style, but this is drawn well, great forms!

Heya /ic/, i'd like a general critique of what i've sketched out here.

It's comic art, and thus i'd like to keep it simple and not add much more shades to the flat colors presented. However, I'd love an opinion on the composition.

For the bg, I was going for a german expressionist inspired, warped, abstracted perspective. Thing is, i'm pretty new and terrible to perspective/bgs in general, so any insight on what i can do to improve it would be appreciated.

Dude's neck is caving in from the front. The neck is mostly a cylinder with a set volume - it shouldn't be pinching forward in the front. Use the back line of the neck to get a general idea of where the line of the front of the neck would go.

Something about the shoulder and chest region on him looks very flat. Can't pinpoint the cause, but I think it's mostly something off with the shoulder.

Could someone help me with Samus's pose? It doesn't feel natural and a bit riggid. I'm trying to get the "oh shit" just arrived at the scene pose. Could someone redline for me? It doesn't have to be 100% accurate since metroid fusion art is kind of stylised.

>>2514107
Is that Samus and SA-X? Pretty cool piece if so. I feel like I would change quite a bit compositionally to help convey what you described, I'm not sure that's what you're looking for though.

38KB, 480x360px

>>2514115
Yeah that's the idea. SA-X is arriving at the scene a bit earlier though. Just so theres more story to the image. The composition is a bit bland at the moment, but i'll rework the enviroment and lighting to get the visual hierarchy right. Which is Samus > SA-X > Exoskeleton > Some drooling goop from the ceiling, hinting at the presence of the metroid.

I'm struggling with the pose though as mentioned before.

>>2514137
Nice. Well I would pull one half of Samus's body way back like she just took a huge step back with one foot. Whichever arm is still forward I'd bring it up a bit more, maybe have it crossing her chest or face a bit. I could sketch something for example but I just sat down to start eating so I wouldn't be able to do it until I'm done but maybe that's something helpful for now at least.

The thing is your stuff takes time to critique, it's too bothersome for most people. Your brushes look nice, and you know how to use the colors and effects to make your drawings look decent, but it still sucks, and it's hard to explain why it sucks.

The most clear mistake is your wonky anatomy and the stiff poses. It's clear to me that you don't sketch these characters and you just wing it, because it looks like it.
It looks like you have a pose in mind, you try to do it, but halfway through the drawing you realize anatomy, and then you try to keep the figure anatomically correct. So you end up with a passable muh style anatomy, (guy with no torso in the first drawing, gorilla arms that stretches to the knee protagonist in the second), and at the same time stiff boring poses (guy in the first image, or that one guy in the second one).

You also distributes line weight randomly for no reason other than maybe you think it looks cool.

Start putting some thought into your drawings and you're good you lazy fuck.

>>2514755

>>2511738
fuck yes anon
do you have a tumblr?

>>2514866
It might just be me, but my eyes are drawn to the computers, most likely because of the mass of neon green and yellow colors surrounding it. If this was intended, gg, you did gud, but if not, you might want darken the colors fo those somewhat, because it's hard for me to look around the room.

>>2514871
Thanks anon. I do want there to be some attention on the computer but yeah as well I'd like the eyes to go around the room so I'll up the contrast in other places maybe?
But I guess my biggest concern is.... are these colors just ugly to look at?

>>2514866
Keep in mind your contrasts. One thing I've learned is getting a good composition involves playing on contrasts of value, warmth, or saturation. You don't need to do contrasts of each (in fact you wanna keep 1-2 fairly flat to enhance the others) but picking one is the key to getting good lighting, and thus good color.

Here, all of your contrasts are really disorderly. The picture is primarily warm, but there's a few very noticeable cool elements (all your blues and greens), which stand out even more due to their high saturation. The picture is also primarily low-saturation, but a few items of clutter spread all over the place are highly saturated. Though nothing's been lit yet, the base value of all your objects also creates very unfocused value contrasts, with darker values at the back, but a few dark elements at the front too.

The good news is although I'm saying all this, I don't think this picture is completely fucked. Coming up with confusing, intense and spread out contrasts is actually a good way to represent a messy room. However, I'd pick a contrast to "tie" all of them, basically an orderly contrast to create some reference points and so the eye has a place to rest in your composition.

If you want to keep the shading flat, I'd recommend you only place very saturated/colorful items around your picture's focus. If you're planning to render complex lighting, I'd make the area around your focus lightest, with the rest darker (and then you could keep your variations in saturation).

Variations in hue don't really matter (outside of coolness/warmth, so feel free to vary your colors as much as you'd like. How saturated and light/dark they are is a lot more important to composition.)

>>2514890
Forgot to add, but a good composition should read directly from your thumbnail, so when you think about how to block in your contrast it'll probably help if you start by working small.

Lads, I have two issues.

1. How do I draw a sexy female character without making her lewd? Conservatively sexy?

2. Female character is another character's mother, so I'm trying to draw her with some of his traits, but she keeps coming out looking like a gender-bent version of her son. Is this necessarily bad?

>>2514988
Not so uncommon. Just like I've seen girls that look just like their Dads. Sometimes it's hard for me to beat off to there facebook pictures when I come across this. But when I get daddy's veiny dick in my mind I pull through.

It's good, the face kind of has a pixar quality to it. I think for a career you're probably better off going into commercial illustration or something animation related. If you really have romantic designs on her even though you deny it I think getting a job in the video game industry in any capacity would go a long way with her, especially if you offered an in for a job.

Even though I'd give my left arm for new win I'm glad she's moved on, she's such a sweetheart. Still holding out for Liru cosplay though.

Nah all acrylic gessos.
Like the cheapest I've found was Lebranc & Bourgeois gesso, which was 2.5L for 20eur.
Then there's GOLDEN gesso for 35eur for just under 1L, which is also acrylic gesso.
And ones in between those in different price ranges, Liquitex, Winsor & Newton, etc.

I mean it's obviously difference in quality between a lot of the cheaper stuff vs expensive stuff, but I'm wondering what exactly is the trade-off, if buying more expensive is even worth the money over the cheapo stuff.

here's what i don't understand.

ok look. i've said it before. I've never masturbated to her. I don't plan on fucking her. I want to marry her and raise a kid with her. Why are you guys so invested in her though? You aren't the ones that have to figure out a way to support a family with artwork. We'll probably have a million problems none of you guys will ever know about or care about.

So if you guys just want to see her dress up as anime characters and masturbate on camera just go fucking watch it. those videos are out there. you can masturbate to her any time you want. Idk why it's such a big deal to you guys that there's a girl I'm fixated on. That's how relationships work. If I wanted to be with her and I was drawing other girls wouldn't that be kind of weird?

If you wanna jerk off to zunechan just go do it. I'm not going to. I've shown her nude photos. I've skyped with her before. I've told her all about how I feel about her. This is how normal people act. Do you have parents? Do they suck? I'm not trying to do that. I'm trying to raise a kid with someone who I love, who I'm completely honest with, and who I have never hurt in any way.

If you've jerked off to catt please don't talk to me. You've already ruined your chances of being with her. Give it up already.

When she was on myfreecams she went on right after a twitch stream and was chatting and joking with all her subs while dancing around naked, it's great that she's done with that but don't act like anyone who has ever jerked off to her is a piece of shit just cause you see yourself as some kind of asexual monk.

She has said no to you outright on many occasions.
Im almost to the point of just contacting her, taking her out (anywhere, literally anywhere i could take her as i am pretty rich from my fathers side of the family) and fucking her.
I have pulled way snobbier bitches after i show them an old atm receipt of mine.
And then i will offer her 1 grand or so to let me take a photo of me inside her, and then i will post it on this board everyday until you learn.

The thing is. She is the type of woman that will be totally ok with knowing this is the soul reason i was doing it.

Now im being totally legitimate in saying that i am a 9/10 looks wise, hit the genetic jackpot and already have the money set for life AND im a better draftsman than you. And as for artist, nothing you are expressing is new or even close to fresh.

She is about a 6/10.

I would also pay for her moles to be frozen off.

You can have those if you want.

The dead moles.

The ONLY thing you have over me is work ethic.
thats it.
Im rich as fuck through privileged/circumstance and that alone.
But this is the real world, and she is going to want a man that can guarantee her a good safe life (i aint going to give her that) but she will think that she will have a chance of wooing me at the same time as shaking off annoying tails that she cant get anymore money from (you) as im squirting on her for the 3rd time that day (i will prob only have a single day off in the near future to fly over and bang her).

This is something i can/will do brian, mostly because i get bored having everything i want and this looks fun.

>If you've jerked off to catt please don't talk to me. You've already ruined your chances of being with her. Give it up already.
thats funny, because i have gotten with birds iv rubbed it too before hand.

that philosophy has many holes in it.

>>2515561
Even though she is your friend irl brian she fucking hates being posted and insulted on 4chan, I know you mean well but threads like this happen.

Hey struggling with getting better, can't seem to see what I am doing wrong but hate the result.

>>2515595
please do it.

>>2515670
the really funny bit, is that she has already told him to stop contacting her about their future together. she has specifically addressed the topic and he still tries.
its getting to the point in where we should warn the authority's before he kills her.

on the road to not sucking at drawing/painting hands

>>2514671
Thank you!

>>2515347
To be honest, I use the cheapest materials available, so I don't know the difference between an expensive and cheap one. All I can say is that I use a cheap one and it works.

Also, another quickie.

>>2515711
What do you mean their future together? What's this about raising a child? I'm pretty sure she hasn't told him to stop talking together, seems like they're still on good terms. Is odd that she privated all her youtube vids and instagram/twitter. She still likes his tweets and talks to him on instagram so I dont think its brian thats creeped her out.

No but seriously this is my third digital painting and I need a lashing to improve.

Brian Comforti over here is, beside being a piss poort "artist", hopelessly in love with a camwhore golddigger, and deluded himself into believing that she will ever love him back. He's pretty much obsessed and borderline stalker at this point, and draws the ugly mole-faced whore non-stop and posts it all over /ic/ if not posting his potatoe hands. If a guy wanted to get into my pants as badly as Brian Comforti wants to get into his camwhore pants, I'd file for a restraining order and move to a different country.

Wow thanks for the in depth crit anon. Sounds like you know a lot more about color than I do. I tried my best to apply what you said but I'm still a little unsure about the way it looks right now.
I tried desaturating the contrasting colors a lot, or moving them closer on the hue scale to eachother so they weren't so distracting.
Does this work better? Also I applied a cool photofilter to the one on the left, I've heard this helps tie the colors together but I don't know if its working.
Thanks a lot anon!
>>2515288
Yeah someobody else told me that too...hmmm. I'll consider changing it but its a little hard right now cause it was traditionally inked. Originally I had him slouching halfway off the bed in a defeated depressive pose but I couldn't draw it the right way so I just made him look frustrated.

thanks for your help peeps

These limbs are fucking me up so bad.
Especially the legs
especially the leg behind the closer leg
I made the mistake of drawing this all on a too-small piece of sketchbook paper and cut the limbs off.
Can any anatom-ee experts tell me whats going wrong here?
