Does anybody know how to fix perspective scaling issues?

I don't know if this was ever addressed in perspective made easy, and if it was I guess I failed to understand it.

I basically want to know the average distance a VP is away from the viewer at a ground level. I really have no clue, so everything is messed up in my drawings when I do them in interior settings as you can see.

Hey, need some critics here, i know the perspective is a bit off, but what could be improved? im having a hard time to simplify the bricks on the wall :|

>>2735390
>I basically want to know the average distance a VP is away from the viewer at a ground level
The distance of the horizon varies based on the viewer's height (ie you can see farther the higher up you are), but at a standing height the horizon is roughly 3 miles away.

You've stretched out the z-axis in your image a lot.

What are they like to draw with? Aren't they meant to be used on big stones for printing?

>>2735666
They're pretty similar to oil pastels but with a sharper point. Yeah I drew onto a a poly litho plate, basically a sheet of plastic that works the same way as a litho stone so you can make a print off it.

No, WIPs are encouraged.

>>2735743
Values are way too rough and edges are too sharp for a woman. Great effort though, keep it up and you'll be better. Drawing from a picture? Looks like you're copying values rather than setting them up properly, I recommend using Loomis with elements of Reilly method and learning how to see and map out your values. You can refer to Watts videos for this and you should look into master value comp studies. Good luck.

>>2735766

Avoid this kind of perfect foreshortings, It makes it look very unnatural.
Aside from that, it has a decent line/brush work on the hair and face. Also, please clean those blacks, It doen't look as expresive as you may think and I think it'd be better with pure blacks

>>2735903
You're in this weird spot where it's clear you're pushing the proportions towards heavily stylized, but the overall shape design is not very clear and the end result looks kind of awkward as a result of that. Like a regular semi realistic drawing that got stretched and warped into weird proportions.

His right arm is in a unnatural position, and the pose doesn't sell it due to lack of imagination. Try shifting his forearm back to a 130 degree position relative to his torso or shifting the elbow back.

Or going nuts with dynamic exaggeration to sell it.

>>2735953

I knew there had to be issues but friends aren''t the most objective critics.

Originally I had some crazy ass pose but I'm rather inexperienced so in my attempts to make it not fucked the pose became more conservative.

Great job, Loish.

>>2736056
Oh and with hair I recommend you set up the big shapes and then lock transparency and put in your values the colorize it. Easiest way for me and you can make big changes later on easily, just keep the hair and its masks on their own layers indivual of the subject.

Hey I started out by drawing Pokemon. They're not bad for learning how to visualize simple 3D forms as 2D shapes.

I started off with drawing cubes and spheres etc. Pokemon are mostly made up of really simple combinations of those shapes with exaggerated and therefore easy to see squash and stretch. They're a good way to transition from drawing simple shapes to putting those shapes together to form a character. Good for practicing gesture too since they're usually posed pretty dynamically and their simplified shapes often make gestures exaggerated and noticeable as well.

What's a good way to git gud at industrial design type stuff?

>>2736634
lmfao hahaaha are you fucking kidding me?

this meme shit is killing me

>>2736634
I study industrial design at uni, currently in my second year, I did well enough this semester that the uni is pushing me and my group to enter a range of competitions with our designs.

What sort of industrial design did you wanna learn about?

>>2736646
Vehicle design, spacecrafts, mechs, cars and that kinda stuff. Also a bit interested in product design stuff like shoes, headphones or cups,etc.

Kinda broad atm, just want to be able to construct and design well thought out, solid objects.

File: GridLock2.29.jpg (266KB, 1920x1074px) Image search: [Google]

266KB, 1920x1074px

>>2736653
Well, the first thing to remember is that unlike engineering, Industrial Design is all about people and user experience, rather than efficiency. This being said, the keys to making cool, function-looking and thought-out design is contextual functionality.

A great example given to me was train stations.

Train stations in europe are like giant hangars, designed to keep heat in and snow out, this is because it's cold as fuck, and when it is hot, it's only hot for a couple weeks of a year.

Compare this to train stations in Australia, they are nearly completely open aired, with cover from rain. This is because it's nearly always hot, and in the northern half, it also rains nearly one in every three days.

So the practical application example for this could be two mechs.

A snow mech, and a jungle mech.

The snow mech needs wider feet to allow it to not crack ice sheets and fall into deep snow, it needs environmental protection for the user, to keep them warm, and it needs optics which can pierce a snowstorm. The joins would need grooves on all meeting faces, so that surface contact and ice build-up wouldnt seize the joints.

Now a jungle mech needs to be able to work in the rain, the mud, and the hot. So additional cooling systems would need to be added, environmental protection isnt nearly as important in this context, compared to the snow. The legs would need protection from mud, and it would need to be able to cope with long treks on uneven ground.

Keep in mind the fundamental difference between design and art.

Art is an expression of emotion.
Design is a systematic tool to solve problems.

This means when you DESIGN a gun for space, you look at the problems that space would create, and you solve those problems, and thats what dictates your design.

Finally, what makes convincing design is when you design for assembly. Draw some rough exploded views of how your design would actually be made.

>>2736689
it's a bit all over the place but i cbf making two big posts.

>>2735392

>>2736689
woah, thanks for making this post. Good explanation of the design process. What would you say is a good way to bring these designs into fruition though? I.E. training your technical skills so you can draw out your designs with relative ease. I'm thinking Scott Robertson's book is a good start.

How can I make this bitch work? I don't know wtf I'm doing...

>>2736333

I gotta agree with you man. Drawing Pokémon would actually be a very good exercise in simple form and shit even though I do hate the little fuckers. Look up a guy called Peter Stapleton on Youtube for rendering simple 3d-ish characters.

>>2736709
Yeah, pappa robinson is great.

I guess what they really drove home at my uni was to have confidence in your linework. In this vein, my personal sketching style is heavily influenced by people like Kim Jung Gi, Dave Rapoza, among a lot of other artists.

Just start simple, make the product as bare bones as you can, then start making complex design choices like ergonomics, aesthetics, materials and shit. You'll always see 3D artists starting with a sphere or cube and building off that basic shape, so follow that process, always comparing your design to how you want to solve those pain points (the contextual problems).

And USE REFERENCES AND RESEARCH, art books, google images, manufacturing cross sections and 3D models are all great.

You dont need to redesign a cars suspension system or how a revolver operates, that shit is tried and tested already, just use what you know works, and innovate on things you think you can do better.

>>2736752

Values are looking ok. You should try flipping it around a couple of times. Also try using harder brushes around the eyes, nose and lips. I'd also try adding a neck and some background values at this point. Are you working from reference? I might also add another stronger light source at some point.

you should check your forms and construction, right now the back of your head, hair and eyes imply that she's looking to our left and down, but her nose and mouth look directly at the viewer.

also try for a more defined lightsource, softer lighting is harder to reason about

You really should stop using this program and start using real paint. The emulation of oils is garish, oil paint never behaves like that and it leaves the viewer a bit sick to watch.

Also your lines needs to have logical conclusions, right now and in many of your works they just seem like floating worms. Find out what the painting wants and how many lines are necessary and where they need to end and begin.

>>2736646
Any chance you're in Eindhoven(netherlands)? Anyway got work to show?

>>2737213
Have you considered moving the shoulder connections further towards the back of the torso? They're very forward right now, almost on the pecs/where the pecs would be.

Moving them back would give the character a more heroic/noble physique, which I feel fits better for characters with slender, elongated limbs and thin waists.

Where do you get your references from? I usually just browse /hr/, but it's kinda shitty if you want some specific thing.

>>2737403
I like google images advanced search setting image size to large or over 2mb for high res references of anything I want. That or I'll take a reference picture of myself, I'm quite the femboy so I can reference myself for women as well.

Slowly building up the value structure and composition before going into painting. This is probably gonna take a while. I decided that I'm gonna do a burning city in the background to get a dim, orange underlighting for the character. I'm too lazy to fuck around with perspective so I just gathered some trash from my room to get the basic structures of the buildings. Nnnghhhh...

>>2737526
Clever way of setting up the background there. Thumbnail looks good.

I don't know why but I thought that this was a frog initially when I saw it in the thumbnail. No, but this actually looks really good. Values and brush economy are looking great.

>>2737569

Pretty nice values on the thumbnail. Did you take the photograph of the drawing at an angle or is the actual drawing messed up like that? Is this drawn from life or from a photo? Anyways. The perspective seems a little bit off. Like the whole object was kind of flat.

>>2737577
Done from a photo and the angle of the subject matter was quite off. It's a direct copy of what I was looking at, hence the weird angle.

I'd draw from life if I had said object.

The figures feel off balance and the gesture feels stiff. You might benefit from practicing gesture more in general

>>2738420
yeah, i should have angled the shoulders more and accentuated the weight into the hips more in hindsight.

>>2738431
That'd definitely be heading in the right direction. A line down the center of the figure helps to make sure you keep the figure balanced.

and if you're worried about wasting paint you'll never make anything. cost of materials for that painting is about $30, $55 with the frame, and I'd sell it for about $600.

it needs more darker values. it's lacking black values in some areas. otherwise it's damn good how it is.

>>2738947
you are right the highlights are too intense

>>2738966
all it has is mid tones/white tones and a spot of black.

work on the black tones

why do people ask for advice here? lmfao. worst advice ever. everybody is a pro here!

>>2738950
what idea was that? render hands. it's hard to fill in the blanks for hands after the fact better to just put the work in at the modeling session. I hope you didn't spend time doing the abstract shapes during the pose instead of rendering the hands more fully.

>>2738972
True

>>2738972
I post work here because it's a fresh pair of eyes. Yes 90% of /ic/ is anime gobbling faggots, but getting a fresh perspective on my work is always good.

>>2738966

It's not that highlights are too intense, it's just that blacks aren't black enough. People are always afraid of pushing your darks, but honestly, it always looks better when the core shadow is actually looking dark.

There's literally no prospect of that. You managed to get into a local gallery by paying some money. You haven't been selling loads of paintings or getting articles written about you or receiving lots of money or attention.

why don't you cum on it that might make it better. mix the jizz in with the pencil that'll show you're angry and you mean it.

you guys do about one digital painting a month, or work for 8 hours a day for 2 days, burn out, and stop for 2 years. none of you have any work ethic and are all failures in what you are trying to accomplish. I am so far ahead of all of you that it's hopeless to even try. it'd be best if you just all stopped making art and focused on a useful career that's going to keep the world's lights on.

Thumbnail looks really good. You might want to make the pose slightly more dynamic though. The position of the leg further away from us doesn't really make a lot of sense either.

>>2739420

I'm sorry but I don't know what I'm looking at here. There's a face with a scarf and she has a robot arm.
