I like it but pyramid far right looks wonky

>>2670913
This is surprisingly neat. Would like to see it in color. Anatomy wise, his shoulders look like they're falling into his chest cavity. Think of his upper back as a convex surface with an indent in the middle where his spine is if you traced your finger from shoulder to shoulder. You've drawn him leaning away from the viewer, yet his you've drawn his shoulders as though he's standing straight up.

To fix: move his arms and shoulders up, shorten his neck, and have some bend in his arms. I get his upper arm is supposed to be pointing toward us but there are no contour lines suggesting it, the muscles are drawn as though there is no foreshortening, but the length implies there is a foreshortening. It just doesn't look good. Make his arms less stiff. Make his forearm angled in toward his body a bit more, like his legs: give his arms some movement.

Been trying to correct these, but no matter how much I redraw and move around the different parts, they still look distorted, as if the features are in different perspectives.

>>2670953
Try doing some of these types of construction but based on photos of people. Right now your major forms of the head are wrong and things are skewed. Refer to reality if you want to get it right.

This looks rushed and the drawing filled with structural and alignment errors. Most of your lines don't really convey and decent information either. So no, restart this and get the linework done properly and correctly, THEN you can move on to values.

Yeah they're pretty distorted, especially when it comes to eye placement. Don't bother spending too much time trying to fix one drawing, draw something new and use references.

>>2671888
tony schaloub? i think you exaggerated his features well. I found the picture very relaxing and inticing. The shading is remarkable. I wonder what medium you used.

>>2670936
Very very nice, designwise.
When you go to color/rendering, pay close attention to notan, as it has lots of potential, but easy to screw up I guess. Hope to see a great illustration from it.
The only bad point is the bad line quality that really kills it as a drawing. Given that, you should be careful to pick a style that you can pull off well for rendering/colors.

>>2671666
Nice style, good construction.

>>2671773
Looks pretty good, maybe pay a little more attention to line weight? Also your hard surfaces (cars) should be more angular, because since your line quality is lacking, as of now they look a bit potatoid childish.
Also you shouldn't do atmospheric perspective like that, with those half finished lines, do them correctly and them make them greyer in post-prod.
I love the layout very much. Great storytelling.

Keep it up guys, the board needs you!

You're giving poor advice without any explanation, stop it.

>>2671916
The problem is not the colors, but the usual tonal inconsistencies. With that pallete your picture is basically monochrome and if we go to that we'll see that your values are all over the place, get a biger brush and cover planes, not drip and blend small patches all over. Do some thumbnailing if you can't do the planes on a big canvas.

Stop being lazy and do a proper scan/good photo of your work and then clean it up in the Photoshop. It takes literally minutes.

Everythin is so slightly off symmetry that it ends up being skewed all over the place. Don't be afraid to use construction lines even on paper.

No source of light whatsoever, everything is basically outlines, very flat look.

Even though you had some practice and some success a little bit of actual measuring and studies might just push you.

>>2670953
Well first of all, stop doing anime.

To add to others, you already detailed some parts of it before you even finished proper contstruction, this will be the bane of you, as too many rush into "rendering" before having a solid construction.

>>2670992
You move onto outlines and miniscule details before figuring out the basic forms first. Take a step back and do some measurements. Don't put any detail into the hair/beard just yet.

I think this is a hard bust to start too, maybe pick up a simpler one for now?

>>2671178
it may be hard to notice, but your arm has no actual volumes and is just a pile of random tones slapped everywhere. Copy the outline on the tracing paper and redo the tone/volume buildup.

I don't know if you can read or not. I'll assume you can. IT's explained on the picture. That's about as straightforward of an explanation as you can get. And it's good advice because a lot of amateur artists don't think of colors that way.

lmao, there's no need to be upset about being told that you're wrong. Hues and values is a different thing and your "advice" is not applicable to the corresponding picture anon posted, take your canned "tutorials" on deviantart or smth.

>>2672110
This is really beautiful. You should work larger more often. My biggest gripe about your regular work is that the texture of the canvas make everythung look rough and almost pixelated. This is very smooth and more pleasant to look at.

>>2672521
>lmao ur upset
Ok sure.

>you're wrong

Fair enough, I got my terms mixed up. Regardless of his values being shit, his colors are shit. You even said yourself his colors are monochrome so that's exactly what I addressed.

Would it have been more valid had I intricately explained in paragraph form how to add more color variety or would it be better if I summarised it in a simple easy to understand picture tutorial which, actually, is exactly what all artists do to pick colors?

Howabout lose the ego?

>>2672370
Actually, you're right.
However, I have trouble figuring how to light properly a scene with such nonsensical colors. It's actually a problem I have often, but I really want to work with very colorful palettes like that. Wat do?

Thanks, here's bit more progress, also testing different shape. So much more to do, even realized that Gustav Klimt has grip on me.

You got that canvas quite right, it's constant question that I'm battling. I have more rough canvas that I used for big ones and really fine one for smaller ones. Still A5 sized looks bit pixelated and so does big ones with more rough canvas.

>>2672222
I feel that the composition is the weakest part of your drawing.
Right now, its pretty boring and awkward. I suggest that you space out the dogs more because right now, they are all clumped together in the center of the canvas.
A traditional approach would be to arrange them in a triangle.

The ground plane also takes up about half of the image. Change the perspective so that it takes up close to a third or two thirds.

The dogs also have perspective issues, that might be why they look off.

>>2672657
Simple and clever design you have here. I like it a lot. Sorry no advices though.

>>2672822
her left thigh bone has an anterior curve toward the knee, and the right has a posterior bend in the middle. They look like rubber. Just cuz they're mostly out of sight doesn't mean you can fudge 'em. Then again maybe its just the stylization.

>>2672657
That's fun i like it.

>>2672515
Pls try graduating from graphite to ink. Your stuff is real suited to it

>>2672822
That face looks really off, should stick to your reference more for that. Her left hand is very weird, probably because you've just sketched it in, try messing with shading to get it to look right. Your lines are really messy. Your edge control is not very good. That red color looks like it was drawn in ketchup. And you shouldn't cut off the foot there, it looks odd, just extend the canvas and finish the foot.
From your drawing, if you were faithful to it, it looks like it was taken on a wide angle really close which distorts the image. I don't know if you'll be able to capture that without everything just looking poorly proportioned. That's the issue with drawing from reference sometimes, because without everything distorting correctly the image can start looking really bad really quickly

>>2672695
And I've changed the background alot since this, I kept the dogs clumped because they looked very unnaturally placed when spread out, think it's the positioning of their bodies.

Kept them in the middle too since it looked awkward off to the side. Gonna have them glowy and divine-looking, but it's the perspective that fucks me most, I've only started doing proper backgrounds for figures and need to catch up.

I've tried redlining this a few times but not in a way that looks helpful, but basically its an issue of not establishing a horizon line and basing things around that. The dogs are drawn to one horizon line and the ground near them is alright, and then the BG is to a different perspective entirely.

i'll just fly her out to wherever im living and draw her in person not a big deal. i've got other things to work on right now the catt drawings were fun but i've got to start making money. she's the idealized woman in a lot of ways you can see it in how often drawings from imagination by various artists just look exactly like her. We'll be doing a lot of work together in the future.

>>2672909
Your problem with the perspective is that you have established an eye level with the way you've drawn the leaves and things in the middle ground and foreground implies that you're looking downward at the dogs but the emptiness of the background implies the horizon is located lower in the image. To fix this you'd simply have to show that the horizon is higher up, like near the tall dog's head. Just paint trees and things going off into the distance and that should fix it. IF you want the horizon to be lower you'll have to show that the leaves in the foreground are closer to the viewer by making them bigger and you'll have to reposition the dog's legs so they're more foreshortened.

Take your pick.

Gorgeous.
Brushstrokes work very well, especially for the clouds, the thumb reads great.
The worrying thing is that it doesn't look very 3D at normal res, so you should be careful about putting a grid so that everything is in perspective. Make sure the volumes read well.

Hi, I'm frank.

Maybe get an intermediate tone between green and brown on the feet, so it blends in a little. There will be dark shadows there where the feet touch. it looks like a paper cut out.

>Maybe get an intermediate tone between green and brown on the feet, so it blends in a little. There will be dark shadows there where the feet touch. it looks like a paper cut out.

yeah, they are on separate layer so this analogy is pretty spot on. It's on the todo list, just way further down the road. Gotta fix the big picture first.

>Does he need a banner flapping in the wind?

I think she's out of your league. She appreciates the attention but is ultimately just humoring you about the possibility of a real relationship. I promise I will cut my dick off if she ever agrees to pose nude for you. You're not going to be famous, you're "reddit good" but not special compared to people with good jobs in the industry. Until you add psychological depth to your drawings or learn to draw more dynamically and in context, composition, form, line etc. you'll keep getting your ego stroked by 2000 upvote submissions in r/art but still floundering and making unfunny quips in gamecatts twitch chat.

Whew, I think that says more about you and the company you keep rather than something about fucking half the population. Like the other guy says that ain't healthy. You've got a nice style & potential, but if you're really entertaining those thoughts about women along with the delusion that you're somehow magically gonna be famous and rich off your art in two months, maybe you should seek help and see a therapist or something (and I don't mean that in a nasty way, I've been there myself. Therapy isn't for everyone but it does sound like you have mental issues and maybe you'll get something out of it).

>>2673534
Oh look a feminist

>>2673525
They have the same amount of potential for depth as any other human being does. Some are awful of course as are just as many men.

I used to be sympathetic towards you and your antisex thing at least had a harmless nobility to it. But the new bitches ain't shit "I don't need to deal with all my emotional problems and anger issues to have a relationship, fame and money will fix everything" attitude is giving off creepy Elliot Rogers vibes. Did gamecatt gently let you down when you proposed on skype again?

Is this newfound misogyny going to find its way into your art or you still going to post cloyingly cheerful pictures of women along with compliments?

>>2673541
ive probably never talked to someone who agrees with me more than Catt. Women know women suck. They can be self aware and still act the way that comes natural to them. Nobody treats women more selflessly than me. But fuck women

Draw shadows with a harder brush , your current shadows just look like a big smudge and don't help define form, even if it looks rougher block in the plains of the face where a change in form occurs and a shadow is formed, idk exactly where you can get reference for this but you should study those head sculptures that have like low poly forms, I don't remember the name for them but it's something like this https://es.pinterest.com/pin/329325791478544341/

Another mirror selfie. I was boozy, good for confidence, bad for measuring. What can I do better?

>>2673894
Your lighting could use more deliberation, imo. Your dude's lantern should not be competing with the sunset. Stars shouldn't be visible with that amount of sunset light. Yellow/white means it's still early. Tune down the sunset or the other highlights. What's the purple light on the ground? Seems random.

Also, work on your edge control. The land seems almost as formless as the sky because it is mostly softly rendered and without any distinct shadows.

>>2673670

Not the other guy, but the tutorial you posted was just 'lol curves' and doesn't explain why color works that way. You can very much apply that in an incorrect way, which would be detrimental to the guy you want to help. He should check out huevaluechroma.com to read up on color theory and why different materials/colors have a greater/lesser chroma dependind on the saturation and amount of light they're reflecting.

>>2674207
Pro tip: Don't write stuff like that on your drawings. It makes you seem extremely portentous without any self awareness. Same with signatures on amateur drawings. Don't do it.

>>2673952
I'm sorry I din't write paragraphs worth of descriptions along with my image. Please forgive me. From now on when I do redlines I'll also intricately detail and label every single muscle I draw including its insertion and origin points and I'll make separate drawings to show the veins and arteries as well. Fuck it I might as well show the organs too. Just in case the anon might mistake where they go. Would that suffice?

My point: I gave a simple tip and that was to choose your colors more deliberately. The diagram showed examples of how to do just that. I could have said more, but I didn't need to. Maybe the anon should just experiment with color in that method, if he gets it wrong he can post it and we can give him advice.

I know you spent a lot of time with this but the composition is non existant, there is no sense of perspective and the colors are a clusterfuck, everything gets too saturated, and the rendering isn't very clean.

I suggest you study from real composition from film shots first.

>>2674990
individual images look awesome, not too saturated at all. As a color script, I think the final third is too muted/cool for too long, could do with a charge of warmth somewhere I think

Also the reflection in the water in the center doesn't make sense at all. Why add such a bright reflection right next to your light fox creature?

>>2677510
Are you fishing or stupid

>>2677510
If you're serious, assuming the rest of your drawings are like this one, you need to focus on gesture and expression. Your character looks stiff as a plank of wood and her expressions are robotic. You just gotta practice a whole bunch, you shouldn't worry about making full blown illustrations or even doing what you're doing here, drawing a fully clothed character etc. I'm no animator so i don't really have a direction to point you in unfortunately. I guess just get in the habit of doing a lot of gesture studies and practice drawing subtle expressions.

>>2675195
is right unfortunately. I know how much it sucks to restart but if you really want to make this illustration work you are going to have to, right now it's too fundamentally bunk. Big improvement over the last iteration though.

>>2675026
I like down, I think it shows the movement a bit better, like she's thrusting herself up as opposed to the other where her leg is at max height and there's no feeling of movement.

>>2674961
You looking at Feng Zong (or whatever his name is) for inspo? Me too bruv. Right now you've got too much dark darks in your picture. Distilled down to the values your picture is just a big white background and a big black blob that doesn't read terribly well. I'd suggest doing something with his right arm to thin it out, make it more arm-y looking.

Regarding his staff I think it looks really awkward in his hand. Like he's gripping it way near the bottom so it's way off balance in his grasp. It also contributes to the confusion of his silhouette. If you centred the staff in his hand and then angled it clockwise a bit he would look more natural. Then you could also show the space between his left arm and his torso to better establish his silhouette.

There's something boring about the rhythm, maybe because the head, torso, pelvis (under the belt) and legs are all equally sized areas, with two of them busy and two of them simple. The variation in business is nice, the lack of variation in size is not.

Also, giving your character a really elongated neck/head high above the shoulder combined with a stocky body makes it look like a very "static" character - not bad, but like some deformed priest who'd walk slowly, not an old mercenary who would actually fight. If you keep these proportions, perhaps a more ceremonial warrior design would fit better.

It is definitely heading somewhere stylistically, just not fully there yet.

Don't just render features onto a blob of flesh colour. Figure out where the jawline is and what shape it is, how the neck attaches, what the top of the skull looks like etc, then work on setting the features within that solid structure.
