It seems you don't use ink to correct your mistakes, but to affirm them.
You mention it's a 10 minutes drawing, use this time to focus on one part instead of making the whole body. Concerning the anatomy, you already know what's wrong since you can compare to your model.

>>2751955
I haven't gone through all the videos to be able to give you a specific one, but I'd bet there is a video or a couple of videos explaining this step by step on ctrlpaint.com . You may have to go through a few videos for it like I said but all of them are pretty short and easy to follow, about 3-5 minutes of specific techniques. If any place would have it I'd try there first.

Thanks for the crits but I don't see whats wrong with the anatomy. What is a symbol here, all my forms albeit stylized are full functional 3d, and correct for their purpose. please be specific here because while im not disagreeing I dont see it.

>>2752224
Symbols : The eyes, the hairs. Anatomy : Look at this shitty neck and the arms's muscles.

>>2752223
numbers don't make you better.

Just sayin

:)

>>2752193
>>2752210
I would slightly disagree with this anon in one aspect: the foreshortening is bad. The places where it doesn't immediately look bad appear to be copied, the arms and hands look like they were lifted from a few pictures of Jean Grey I've seen. On the heads where you tried to do it yourself though it shows. Learning how to construct perspective would help with this. Once you get better with drawing objects like cubes in perspective, you can start drawing heads and other body parts within the boxes and aligning them to help create the illusion of depth and foreshortening.

>>2752246
Yeah, its passable tho is what i meant.

>>2752224
Your lips are symbols for example.
Actually most of your features are symbols, because you dont understand the skull underneath yet.

>>2751871
you are allocating time poorly. you seem unconcerned with likeness so all that rendering on the face comes across as superfluous. it looks kinda nice, but it's superfluous.

try to do a drawing that gives you enough information to do a painting. if I was personally making this into a painting i'd find the hands completely uninformative, the legs useless information-wise, and it'd basically be impossible from the bust up. this could be a small portrait but not a full figure painting.

i'd also say work on specificity of the contours. the legs in particular are ridiculously simple. they look like bowling pins. and the form you represented with the hatching doesn't help. it's good you are trying to represent form specific to the drawing you are doing, but it's still overly simple. the leg on top almost looks like an abstract shape in my periphery when i look at her face.

i could keep critting but i'll stop. overall i think it's ok for three hours if not a bit too stylistic.

>>2752273
They're alright actually. I think you should probably study some photographs of real people or do some life drawing if you have a chance. These are basically drawn as simplifications of the body that are used to help people understand it better, but they are not the true forms of things.

Otherwise there are some slight proportions errors like tiny heads and bit torsos. In terms of posing maybe try getting some more twists in there as right now they are pretty stiff as everything is aligned.

>>2752279
Not using reference isn't something to be proud of or even to strive for. Not needing to copy it verbatim is one thing, but when you're still learning you should use it to learn to draw things properly. When you've drawn from life or from reference enough you can start being inventive and relegate reference only to when you want help filling in details of something you don't need to bother memorizing inside and out like clothing detail or cars or something. Right now you're not close to that point and you should study as much reference as you can as thoroughly as you can and build up your observational skills so you can move on to construction and then invention.

>>2752741
It's incredibly skewed, yes. There are of course digital tricks you could do to make it more reasonable but aside from the fact I doubt that would look good in the end, I strongly recommend you draw it over again and try to pay closer attention to measuring and proportions. Doing something a second time can teach so much and a lot of times goes smoother than the first attempt did. I think that would benefit you more.

>>2752193
it looks alright to me, but the blue lines on white background hurt my eyes. if you did a proper linework it'd be easier for me to see if anything is wrong with it.

There are some good parts and some others that are, well, awful. Keep going I guess.

>>2753112
she's 7 and a half heads tall if you account for her slouching and her legs outstretched. it can be easy to misread the size of hands if you are newer to drawing. usually at the start you'll be drawing hands way too small ( at least i used to), but this is the size hands usually are. if you want to argue i could've made her hands a bit more feminine i can get behind that critique but I was more concerned with representing them as they are than worrying about what was most aesthetic.

>>2753140
what are the good parts and what are the awful parts?

>>2753186
You always claim you care about drawing things as they are not as you imagine them but everything you draw always looks wrong. When I look at a person they don't look wrong, if I draw them as they are the drawing shouldn't look wrong either. Nothing you say ever makes sense.

>>2753186

Stop being defensive, that anon was right about his critique. Your proportions are still in noob territory.

>>2753204
>>2753210
the problem with this board is everyone gets to pretend they're an expert but it's pretty easy to tell when someone's a beginner. "proportion and anatomy" are dead give aways. saying something is "wrong" without being able to articulate why is a dead give away.

You should figure out how it works.

I feel like you got lazy on this, specially on the belly, half of the upper and lower limbs and the shadowing. You need to hatch more carefully aswell, pay deeper attention to form and light.

>>2753229
People always tell you exactly what's wrong in your drawings and you still never listen to them. You just do what you did here >>2753186
I could list every single thing that looks wrong in all of your drawings and you'd have an excuse for each one of them and dismiss me with some ad hominem like you always do to everyone else. You just spend all day drawing incorrectly and moving the goalpost for critique in circles. Truly the most pointless activity I've ever seen someone engage in and on a daily basis no less.

Hows my anatomy on this?

>>2753303
I don't think you need the blue rimlight, it's not really contributing to the mood of the piece.

>>2753306
not bad but look at her back leg and imagine the bones, her femur is almost twice the length of her tibia, the top/bottom leg proportions should be closer to 50/50

>>2753306
Noice, I like it. But it seems her left leg is floating or isn't correctly linked to the rest of the body.

>>2753306
Left thigh is too long, lower leg too short, not to mention her left calf is THICC as fuck.

Right lower leg looks weird with that bit of bulge just below the knee must mean she has a massive tibialis anterior muscle. That or her lower legs in a bit of an odd angle to really accentuate the roundness of it but seeing as how it's a profile shot and that would just be an awkward pose, it won't be as round.

Left foot heel is tad too large.

She's got some mean slumped shoulders, especially her left which looks like you tries to fit in because you think it'd be that visible but you forgot about the anatomy and the comfortability of the pose which in this particular aspect doesn't look comfortable at all.

>>2752144

"all you do is ad hominem" and then all you do in your post is ad hominem

>>2753306
anatomy is pretty staid. observe contours more closely. don't be afraid of putting contours that don't adhere to your understanding of anatomy. draw what you see and not what you think you see, even if it looks "wrong".

also draw bigger and push values. draw faster. put more graphite on the paper. and if you do the initial outline and it comes out too small on the paper don't be afraid to erase the whole thing and redo it bigger. you drew it once you can draw it again. it's worth it even if you have to pick up the pace during the rest of the drawing. im not entirely sure if this is a figure drawing or not though. even if it's not draw your figures bigger.

>>2753344
Do you even know what ad hominem means? It means insulting the person you're arguing with instead of rebutting their points. I didn't use any ad hominem anywhere in my post, the fact that I'm dissecting your behaviour and saying why I find it unproductive is not the same as me just calling you names like you always do when you call people beginners and amateurs without even knowing what their art looks like and any of the other names you call someone when you don't like the fact they're actually critiquing you rather than patting your ass. Your reply doesn't counter any of my points, you basically just said "I know you are but what am I". I was wrong before, the most pointless activity is trying to talk any sense into you.

>>2753353
>I was wrong before, the most pointless activity is trying to talk any sense into you.

Are you for real or just a sockpuppet? Many here just want to git gud, and Brian is the exact nightmare of what you don't want to be. Because when you receive critique, there's always the possibility that the crit is unwarranted/stupid/whatever, so you have to trust your sensibility when taking it into account. In some non-clear-cut cases you have to trust that you ain't delusional. But this guy embraces the delusion like it's aphrodite and he sure as hell won't let her go.

>>2753354

hey man, it's not so true. There are a number of anatomical problems (just look at the neck), the lightning is inconsistent (strongly defined at some point, diffused elsewhere, like the chicken legs), occlusion shadow are not there (there's rim lightning on the arm hidden by the wing!)
Also, the wings are just not finished, as well as the rock with green lego blocks.

Why don't you give a crit yourself? Are you a jealous cunt?

You don't need to pray. Just fucking point out bad advice in general, it doesn't matter who's giving it. This is something you should normally be trying to do.

>>2753344
>anatomy is pretty staid. observe contours more closely.
This isn't bad advice. You all act like Brian is going to fuck someone's head up. As if everything Brian is going to say is bound to be fucking crap. Hilarious. You're afraid of him giving people bad advice, yet there he is giving people advice, and you didn't feel like correcting it.

If you fucking crit him, and he tries to argue with you, fucking drop it. Be the bigger man. Just FUCKING END IT THERE. You fuckers are EMPOWERING him by alienating him. STOP IT.

>>2753436
By your logic we shouldn't even point out when he's giving bad advice then. Out of context "carefully observe contours" doesn't seem like bad advice but what he means is essentially anon should do a blind contour drawing. Draw every bump and curve and shape he can see, irrespective of proportion and structure or anything to do with making the drawing look believable, in favor of capturing as much detail as possible which is what he does. Clearly the anon who drew that picture is aiming for believability so besides being bad advice for that reason it's bad advice because drawing straight from contour with no construction leads to bad habits and distorted drawings that don't appear 3D. But if we take time out to say that, Brian is going to come back and turn it into an argument and start mud slinging again, and you know it. So it's either not reply to anything he says at all or let it continue to be the shitshow it's been for the past few years.

>>2753436
its just the divide between traditional fine artists and digital illustrators. crits are usually focused on things that aren't worth doing as a traditional artist like erasing entire swaths of a drawing and redoing them. if i came here for crit everytime i darkened a value or put a contour i'd never finish anything so like you i post things that are more or less finished for my current skill level, but what needs critiquing are things outside of just anatomy and proportion which are the hardest things to alter.

im one of the few people on this board that can crit traditional work on things like texture, composition, value, and line quality (although thats probably where im least knowledgable) in pencil just because ive used that medium for longer than most anons. if a digital anon doesn't know the limitations and capabilities of a particular medium its ridiculous to take critique from them. No traditional artist in history was fluent in every medium, so why would i take the word of someone who hasn't worked in any of them?

In particular what I focus on are oil paints and pencil. I'd never critique a watercolor, acrylic, sculpture, ink ( although im trying to learn slowly), pastel, etc. on the specifics of the medium. I have no clue how those things work because I don't do them enough.

I crit your work because I can draw with pencil. I might not know a every bone on the body like the back of my hand but i can tell when you aren't pushing pencils to what they are capable of.

so don't listen to people that just shit talk me i try my best with crits that im applicable to.

>>2753447
>By your logic we shouldn't even point out when he's giving bad advice then.

That's not my logic. I said: "Just fucking point out bad advice in general, it doesn't matter who's giving it. This is something you should normally be trying to do."

> he means is essentially anon should do a blind contour drawing. Draw every bump and curve and shape he can see, irrespective of proportion and structure or anything to do with making the drawing look believable

No, you're extrapolating because you're thinking of what Brian would do with the drawing. That drawing he crit'd shows enormous disrespect for real-life through simplifying everything into beautiful smooth contours, it has almost zero real anatomy observed because the artist wasn't looking hard enough.

Purely constructing things can also lead to bad habits, like putting in Hampton memes into your drawing that aren't actually occurring in real life. The marriage between construction and observation of contour and reality is what the anon should be looking for, and is something that artists like Vilppu or Hampton talk about. He never told the anon to ignore construction.

>But if we take time out to say that, Brian is going to come back and turn it into an argument and start mud slinging again, and you know it.

And if he were to, just fucking let him. It turns into an argument because you get into a battle with him. Let him have his fucking opinion, and move on. Have you never heard of walking away from arguments? If you let him dominate the critique sphere, you are disrespecting the artists being critiqued. All that matters is you put your critique out there as well and to say you disagree with him.

>>2753468
I didn't have to extrapolate, he said as much himself in the post. You only took the first part, you ignored the other sentences where he said don't be afraid of putting down contours that don't adhere to anatomy and drawing what you see even if it looks wrong. In any case you're now basically saying what I already said which was to carry on and ignore him. If I give a critique and he does like he did in >>2753362
calling me or whoever a "retard" and whatnot, there'd be no point replying because I'd have already given my critique. If he gives someone a wrong critique, instead of mentioning anything about his critique I could give my own separately and say what I think is right. I see no downside to treating his posts as if they don't exist and you haven't convinced me otherwise.

>>2753397
lmaooo fuck off!! i took two weeks off hahaha

>>2753472
that other post wasn't me. i say retard but i never say "famalam".

as far as
>he means is essentially anon should do a blind contour drawing. Draw every bump and curve and shape he can see, irrespective of proportion and structure or anything to do with making the drawing look believable

that is exactly what im saying. you won't learn anatomy by drawing what you think someone should look like. what happens when you have to draw someone who is overweight and you don't get to see every muscle and bone on their body? you have to learn to be adaptable and you become adaptable by learning to draw literally what you are looking at.

I'm not even out of that phase of learning yet! i still have to draw things exactly how I see them even if they look "wrong". I've only this year started to draw things more aesthetically and less strictly observational and even then just barely.

>>2753486
it's not like it is with digital where you learn your texture cubes or whatever those are and then you can draw all the obese furry porn you want. traditional is totally different. it takes much longer to learn how to execute a traditional drawing properly in a short period of time.

>>2753465
I wasn't the anon who made that drawing. Anyways, you are still part of the problem. If people give you a shit or vague critiques right off on the start, nothing's gonna come from probing them.

>>2753472
You're killing me here. I quoted the first part of the crit, but I read the entire thing and considered all of it while making my comments.

But it turns out I was wrong anyways. +1 for you.

> I see no downside to treating his posts as if they don't exist and you haven't convinced me otherwise.

I don't see a downside either. Happy day, you have the same idea I do.

>>2753603
>>2753606
I just want to add onto this: on the bottom torso there's like no room between the shoulder blades for the trapezius so it looks like it's not even there. And I don't know whether to call it a perspective issue or anatomy issue but the left arm looks gigantic compared to the other and the shoulder is coming from out of the middle of what should be a shoulder blade instead of where the shoulder socket should be. That's not even getting into how completely wrong the triceps are drawn. It probably won't do any good considering who we're dealing with here which is why I didn't say something sooner but who knows, maybe if he hears it from more than one person it'll get through.

brian stfu. just because you hit an "artists block" , it doesn't help when you're being rude to others.

There are so many idiots in this thread its mesmerizing really. People that can't draw giving critiques to people that can draw. Fucking boggles the mind. If you are anywhere near intermediate/advanced level, you need to get out of /ic or stop taking any advice from anyone from here. Sure, there are some people that are actually good here, but you will never find them, because they very rarely give out advice. What you get instead is some neckbeard loli fan, that can draw cubes in perspective trying to educate you on how to be an old master. Based on his experience reading books. That's all I have to say. Good luck and I sincerely hope you make it.

A lot of your rendering seems kinda matte, with all the different coloured parts the same sort of material. Its a robot! Play with materials a bit more, maybe make the darker structural components more reflective and bounce light from its blue outer layers to make the painting more cohesive and interesting.

there's very little contrast in values here, it looks like nothing goes darker than 50% black. look at OP's pic and how dark the darks get and how bright the whites are, the contrast is what makes it stand out and read so well.

I don't know where else to ask and I don't want to make a new thread so I'll ask here; I've been hired by a black guy to draw a picture of him he plans to use as a profile picture on social media. Problem is, he insists that the background has to be a solid dark grey (almost black), what the hell can I do to make him stand out against it, especially at smaller sizes? So far all I've come up with is to draw a white outline around him but it kinda makes it look like a sticker then.

perhaps, for your own improvement, you should take your defenses down for a minute and actually let it get through to you that you're not amazing. Nobody here is. We are all learning. And this self-defensive attitude is more toxic to you than procrastination.

I don't usually post in the draw thread since I belong in beginner thread. I just saw your work, saw that you were posting in the wrong place (like I used to) and saw your self-pity bait comment to try to reel in critique. I used to be like you until it got to me that I was posting in the wrong place and that's why nobody would really help me.

>>2754811
You should spend more time drawing and learning about the rest of the figure. It is clear you can construct a head to some degree, or have put time into learning about it, but your stylizing is not occurring consistently through the figure. Your hands also suffer from a floaty or constructed feeling. It is due time for you to revisit them.

>>2754815
*unconstructed feeling/you're confused about them.

>>2754815
when you're saying the stylization is not occurring consistently through the figure are you talking about the shape language being all over the place or just not enough efficiently/knowledgable stylized anatomy?

>>2754826
I can specify more. The left and the right drawing are consistent throughout the drawing, it feels like the same person drew the entire drawing. Consistency is a fundamental element of an individual drawing, so the differences or inconsistency between multiple drawings/compositions do not effect their individual merit.

The middle drawing feels like you handed off to someone to finish the drawing from the shoulder down. The shape language is elongated in the second figure, the elongated torso, arms, and neck so I don't think it's the shape language causing this. I think it's most likely the last thing you mentioned, being the efficiently/knowledgeable stylized anatomy. And also likely the lack of concern for light/shade from the shoulder-down.

>>2753606
lol what the fuck i thought this was a random shitpost

i thought firez was well known for his shitty art not his shitty attitude

Well, since I'm nice; and eons above in anatomical knowledge- I'll critique these Rob Liefeld tier trashbag pieces.

Guy on left- has the sternal extremities of his clavicles about an eyeballed foot above the abdominal section of his pectorals (basic proportions should be easy at your stage).

The triceps long and medial head connect way too far up onto his scapula, and it makes it look like the tricep is overtaking his deltoid (when the anterior head of the deltoid goes over both insertion points of the triceps).

His right forearm is fucked. Your shitty tubular bicep wedges between nothing. The epicondile of the ulna is placed so far down it looks like someone is bending his forearm back.

Guy at bottom- has a collapsed trapezius. The right portion is infinitesimally smaller compared to the left side. You left the entire bottom portion of the back as a clean slate, which I really can't say anything about since it seems intentional; though if it's not you're a fucking idiot ahahaha.

The trapezius doesn't form over your deltoid in any way. which is what your illustration is clearly showing. The teres major doesn't connect to the anterior deltoid- and the teres minor doesn't connect to the head of the humerus; it connects to the frontal portion of the humerus. Your lack of rendering on the triceps is probably due to your inane understanding of any of the forms of these muscles.

His serratus and chest are closer to his pelvis than his head (lmao).

tl;dr- firez is a fucking retard

>>2754836
it's cool that you noticed that.
I did the first three doodles while listening to music but a podcast came on as I redid the head for the middle one so I most definitely became distraught and lost in another mindset
when I eventually looked at it it seemed inconsistent to me so that's most likely the reason

I'll be doing a lot of more hard studies of bodies and anatomy since I feel more comfortable in doing basic shapes and arranging volumes as of late

>>2755011
For this kind of stuff? I would say avoid using pen pressure (only controlling opacity with your keyboard), use a square-ish brush, usually cast shadows in enviroments have purple-ish hue which can be applied via an overlay layer, there is also in some instances an increase of saturation on the border of those shadows

I would strongly suggest trying to study these, I had never used this method before but studying both convinced me that this is a better approach than what I was doing before

You gave the rocks a purplish like reflected light but it's a bit out of place since you don't have an apparent source (I see it in the ref, but not in your painting)

I think your focal points would benefit from a bit of sharpness. I love the colors and render, but some better defined edges and sharpness on the face may help it pop out more. Just a suggestion.

What's the issue with advising someone to remove opacity from the pen pressure setting? Lots of pros do it, Feng Zhu recommends it all the time.

how much should i charge for this? I was thinking $2500-$3000

it's 22"x28" started it in July and more or less finished it yesterday. might change the color of the left hand but i kinda like it with the blue in it.

i'd like some kind of crit on the brown/yellow/magenta background and if there's anything I could change about it. Specifically should I get rid of the colors on the right side and make it more flatly earth tones. I think as it is it looks a little too much like fireworks or something...

>>2755726
thanks, amazing site

gimme 10 grand and you can jerk off to it every night if that's what you want

i went for more of the grey brown in the background, and kinda suggested some darker shapes behind her.

What part should I focus on next?

>>2755884
focus on learning how to draw

>>2755884
Faces and head

>>2755876
I think the bg was better without the shapes.

>>2755903
in person it looked kinda like a smeared mustard and ketchup on it so it had to change one way or another

The rendering and strokes look pretty rushed.
That background is pretty half assed.
Arms are 2 heads length (minus hands)
You had to choose the most expressionless photo of her you could find too.

is there something better than the smudge tool for blending in photoshop? like a more powerful blur? this software feels lacking for digital painting I don't get why its so popular

>>2756023
Most people do the majority of blending by manually blending by colorpicking intermediate colours and laying it between where they want, and using brushes that are pressure sensitive for opacity. You also can use soft edged brushes. Alternative the mixer brush can blend but it's got lots of bells and whistles so most people don't bother learning it properly. Also the smudge tool I find varies a lot depending on what brush you are using, so maybe try some different ones out.

>>2751838
This is beautiful, went through the whole previous thread just to save this image, whoever did it I want your blog.

>>2756023
Mixer brush. But like other anon said, it takes a lot of experimentation. Sometimes I've gotten it to make some really nice natural oils looking stuff. Sometimes I fiddle about with it for a while and can't get it to do shit. I need to stop being retarded and just figure that shit out.

Smudge tool can be really nice with a brush that has a little scattering applied to it. Definitely easy to overdo it though.

>>2756023
smudge is gay as fuck and you should avoid it if you want to be good. same applies to burn tool and other shit. work with hard brushes and mix manually or die trying.

>>2755770
>I was thinking $2500-$3000
Considering that you quickly shit out everything you do without any real work that'd be highway robbery

>>2756082

the reflection behind the door looks like another door handle, so it's hard to tell if we're looking at a coupe or a sedan. the taillights are out of line with the rest of the car--in particular, I think the left one is a bit low. This makes it look too narrow for a coupe that isn't a vw bug.
cars are hard to draw though, you'll get it w/ practice

I've been working as an intern concept artist in a studio for the last couple of months. it's ok, but I found out that another studio in my city is looking for some artists too and I'd much prefer to work there.
I am new to this business, would it be a dick move to my studio to apply at the other studio? it's very possible that my colleagues might hear about my application because all the studios are well connected.
as an intern I can barerly survive with my salary, but I am not in for the money.

>>2756353
are you a retard? Talk to them.
If money is a problem, and thus you say you're looking for another studio, they either have to let you do it (potentially recommend you) or raise your salary to keep you.
If it's not one of these two, they are either dicks or you're not good enough.
In that case it's harder to say what you should do, it really depends on the situation.

>>2756353

started a new painting. gonna make it into a figure probably gonna just add a simple head to it.

palette is magenta, lemon yellow, turquoise, prussian blue, and van dyke brown mixed with magenta.

>>2756762
I like it, you should work more on the eyes tho. They seem a bit flat . And you probably could synthetize har in a better way

>>2751838
If the illusion only works in the thumbnail, does that mean it failed?

>>2756818
good art can be viewed at any distance

>>2756818
Have you ever heard of Chuck Close? Or Pointilism? Impressionism?

>>2756850
? what do you mean? those look good up close too

>>2756854
Yes but the illusion of the image can only be seen from a certain distance which was the point. It wasn't about whether it looked good up close it was asking if a piece is failed if the image is only clearly visible when it's smaller even though there are literal art styles developed around achieving that.

>>2756818
>>2756850

There is the saying, "any painting looks good from afar". Which, while it is obviously a hyperbole, is kinda is true.

>>2756861

It's not true though, lots of bad artists or beginners have bad thumbnails. Actually the one thing you can do during to know if you are doing things right or wrong is standing up and getting like 2-3 meters away and look from the distance at your painting. (also I guess taking a break and getting back to painting after 30 minutes of doing something else, having a "fresh eye")

>>2756678
shut up fat boy. you're one to talk, bitch.

>>2756864
This is so true. I've started zooming way way out on things I draw lately, until they're about the size of thumbnails here. It's helped me catch a lot of problems.

>>2756861
I don't know of a single painting that looks bad from afar looking good up close, so I suppose in terms of something to aim for.
