Looks nice and has a bunch of personality. I guess this is unfinished? I'd say bump up the core shadows and look at some stylization ideas for the hair (Leyendecker maybe?). GJ etc...

the proportion seems good apart from the right side of her jaw, which seems a bit broken in comparison to the left side.

>>3061418
a little creepy and obviously referenced? If that's what you were going for, good job. If not, consider drawing something else apart from asian girls. Believe it or not drawing different subject matter will help you draw asian girls better.

>>3061437
I liked the older version of this better... you managed to overwork it and lose all the charm and beauty of the face that you had before. Don't overthink it! You had a beautiful piece that didn't need to be fussed over.

Okay so I knew that my perspective was fucked, mostly because i painted without a grid or anything and that bothered me, so i started over on this thing.
Im trying this new composition and perspective, do you guys think it has potential? If not, i might just wipe the whole thing off :(

>>3062314

I think you're overthinking your background. Just keep it really simple. Basically let the characters dictate what's going on. Just have everything "pointing" at the areas of interest and fill in the indication for perspective after that. As long as you have some diagonal lines it's gonna look pretty awesome. Why'd you kill her mid section btw? It was looking okay imo. I'd do an overpaint but I'm too drunk for that now... No need to fix her legs this time. Nostalgia...

Sum progress on my Zelda thing. Feed my back. Won't be able to answer for a while because I have to go out with some people. Decided to work on the BG before doing the characters so I still have that placeholder photo horse and crappy characters. Still extremely messy and missing the drop shadows for the characters but I think I can get this to work. High fantasy bullshit...

This is some beautiful rendering, buckaroo

>>3062314
What's important here is the focal point which is the witch. She has a neutral, centered angle and suggests a rather low vanishing point. I think it should be fine if you lowered the horizon, flattened the road considerably and maybe foreshortened the houses more. I don't like the dynamic extreme look of the alternate version, it's a bit cheesy.

>>3062314
man, nobody pointed out the biggest default in the composition being the first characters pose and size. he's fucking up the whole perspective and his pose is too unnatural/uncohesive with the witch.

I just enlarged him a little since he's in the fore plan, tilted his head down, arched his back a little and the picture is much more interesting now even without the perspective changes. just my 2cents.

I also prefer the second version of your witch by the way, much more dynamic. keep it up.

How to fix my drawing?

>>3062358

why are you framing the entire painting within the cave? it looks terrible like that.

>>3062533

get reference, learn lighting, add more values?

>>3062351
Thank you anyway! :) Ill try to fix both versions then. Maybe even keep the midsection.

>>3062464
Thanks for the suggestion! Is it? Worst case scenario, i can try to fix both but yeah, its an overused perspective

>>3062514
Oh, thank you so much! I totally get it and i agree it looks better, with his whole body pointing at her. Although, i wanted to make him with a tilted head like that as if he was suffering from the green magic thing. Maybe it doesnt read too well.

Appreciate all the critiques my dudes. Thanks again

>>3062542
do you have an artstation?

>>3062535

I dunno. I was thinking it would bring a feeling of claustrofobia and shit. I posted my crap earlier and one guy was all for framing it down so I wouldn't have that shit on the borders and another wanted me to expand it to show more of the borders. I'm still kind of playing around with the idea. Some people like it and others don't. I think it works for the narrative of the image but I might get rid of it...

Just came back from the bar and started working on my Hinox designs. I really hate the art direction in the new Zelda game (I know it's a good game but still) and I'm gonna try and do some "traditional Japanese demon" thing on my characters here. Would love some feedback/ideas on that too. I think I'll make them red. Red's cool...

Thanks either way.

Yeah, I was the guy who said to crop out the cave, and change the horse. Horse pose is looking great. Maybe if you remove the cave roof you can still suggest the presence of a cave with the bottom corners and some lighting shenanigans, get the best of both worlds? I think the grouping of the characters is nice. Just a thought

I've never tried to mimic this particular style before and have never done a serious digital painting project, usually stick to custom graphite pencil brushes.

Three hour study of some random bitch. I didn't try to copy the original image so it's kind of a mix of 1 main reference for the lighting and 3 other bitchez.

Lel. Not sure if this is an actual question or just fuckery. I learned it by watching tutorials. Only photo elements I have in my image are those hands on the necklace on his neck though. Gonna replace those with painted hands later on. Absolutely everything else is just painted.

Oh and obviously the horse is a photo but I'm gonna remove him and paint that too. Just using it there to get my composition set and shit. It's gonna be a brown horse...

>>3065312
Huh... never thought of using actual images for composition, but I can see how they'd help with tonality too.

Will you use those images as reference?

I'll definitely use the horse for reference because I don't know anything about painting horses. I think it's also a good idea to learn some 3D if you want to create some plates for your 2D stuff but I didn't use that shit here either. I did make a simple Design Doll pose for Link here (pic related) though but I just referenced it instead of dropping it into my illustration. A lot of times I'll actually sculpt my shit in ZBrush and paint over it for a quick result.

My canvas is ~8600 by ~5200. Canvas size isn't really something I think about. I'll just rez it up when I feel like I'm not able or if I feel like my brushes aren't doing what whey're supposed to be doing. Some brushes work better when they're big.

Holy shit nigger, I really hope YOU don't do redlines. There's a lot wrong with >>3065960 and I think most of it has to do with the fact that Anon studied muscles in one position and then, having never studied what they looked like stretching, tried painting a pose that was out of his current knowledge. It's either that or he simply doesn't understand the forms of each muscle, or maybe the bad values are completely failing at accurately showing what could maybe be a somewhat anatomically correct painting.

good point, thanks. Noticed it but i was too lazy to figure it out

>>3061972
i think it feels unfinished because there is a distinct lake of detail going on in that outer rim where all those constellations(?) are. they feel so basic compared to everything else, and it doesnt help they are so irregularly placed. i dont really know what you could add to flesh that out however, all i can think of is to fill it up with even more constellations so you can complete that circle, but other than that im at a loss. however i am loving the overall composition however.

Not the same anon but you don't have any transition between your values. It's almost like looking at the image through the cutout filter.

Define your core shadows (which you've done nisely in some parts) and start building more value around that.

Everyone always holds me to such high standards when it comes to anatomy. I can never have fun with it. I can never exaggerate or play towards style. I envy artists that can just do what looks best for the design of the piece rather than pure accuracy.

I mean, I agree with ya. It is too low. But I did it on purpose because I thought it flowed better for the composition.

I think the perspective on the circle might be the problem. Try drawing a circle on paper and see what it should look like from the perspective your drawing is in.

I'm not sure, but I think maybe it's supposed to look like this?

>>3068324
That circle is just to give me an idea for when the lighting should go darker. It's not a part of the scene, I probably should have clarified.

It does flow better, but the detailed and realistically proportioned anatomy elsewhere makes it look off to me.

If the flow is most important, I'd thin out the ribcage to better follow the curve, exaggerate the forward push of the shoulders for contrast, and probably thin the neck. Not really experienced with modifying proportions like that so take it with a grain of salt. I like the piece overall.

I really enjoy the way that you appply paint in lines. It's unique and adds a lot to the painting.

However, the subject of the painting is too goofy for y tastes. And the composition feels a little too claustrophobic

>>3068494
yeah i need to do preparatory sketches and drawings for paintings like this so I don't end up with a cramped composition. I kinda can't do anything about the goofiness, I'm just really goofy. I masturbate like 5 times a year because it makes me tired and could care less about sex. There's just not much in the way of sexual coolness or slick presentation in any part of me. I'm just kind of a goofball. My go to character design is "45 year old guy with dumb face". So not much I can do about that part of your critique.

>>3070990
those are thick numerous folds for a thicker fabric. What's holding them up? The sleeve end needs to be thicker to fight gravity. Thin and light fabrics hang very loosely, with fewer folds. Folds multiply around twists and turns, propagate downwards and are not evenly spaced out. You should have much fewer folds towards the top and twist the angles downward

I see what you are saying tho. I think the problem I have is with the eyes. The eyes I draw tend to look weird. The wrinkles i tend to add doesn't help either.

>>3071735
Yeah, I get that too. Originally the page had more shit going on. I removed a couple of panels to make the page cleaner. White spaces would help with removing visual noise too.

Thanks for the tips

>>3066917
cute! Though it might've done to make her raised hand in more of a tacticool signal or something instead of a flat palm. That's my only real critique though. What the other guy said about the noise is also relevant i think.

>>3071299
I like the coat and the texture of it, gives a sense of 3d. The hair and the skin are not like that, they need to have some feeling of space as well, maybe try to shade or crosshatch the oval of the upper arm and a reference for the hair or something. The face is a bit off, try to add some construction lines so the viewer (and you) gets a feeling of where in space it should be and go from there, like a center line for the head.

Otherwise I like it, cheers

>advanced symbol drawing, go do some sight size training
I don't know what the statues looked like or how light reflected of their surfaces etc, so keep that in mind.
1. the shapes are very good, it's clear that you were very carefull laying them down, everything looks really flat, and that's mostly due to the big thick pen line everywhere outlining all the shadows and details.
2. You need to do more sight size training until you can move on to suggesting form instead of outlining shapes
You don't have to pay to do it's as simple copying what you see, you don't need to set up a traditional atelier in your bedroom.
3. When I mentioned symbol drawing I'm talking about the faces, (I don't know what the statues looked like), about a year ago I did a very large amount of self portraits to learn to draw faces. My facial features became my symbols for facial features and for a while after that every face I drew have that way of drawing a nose, ears, lips ect even if the markers were different. That's what I mean by advanced symbol drawing, and the faces have that quality about them. I don't think you belong in beg anymore.

Tried to convey momentum by widening fov and using lots of sharp angles pointing to the direction of the movement. Characters are just placeholders.

very engaging, i think you need to do more careful studies though, your values especially are amateurish (but not bad), i also think you lack refinement in general. and the way to get better at that stuff is careful painting from life (or a photo if you're a non-physical emergent intelligence who lives solely within the internet)


but you should certainly be pleased with it, it's an excellent stepping stone, now is the time to work with care and really develop the fine brain-tools an artist needs

Thanks for the crit
I don't always do pen outlines, but idk I felt like it for this one
I agree that it is very flat, I probably should've used crosshatching to make it more 3d, or pushed the values more
I'll be more careful about the faces, especially cause the greeks had a very particular way of sculpting faces (straight noses, big eyes far apart from eachother, small mouths, round chins,...) I hope it doesn't bleed out to my regular drawings, since I'm gonna be drawing a lot of greek statues for the next weeks
I'll try posting a study where I didn't use pens as soon as I can, but my internet is shit atm
>I don't think you belong in beg anymore
Look ma, I made it!
But seriously, it really warms my heart to read that

It is too short.

Push her more in, she's too close to the edge.

I couldnt render even if i wanted

>>3074161
Your underlying drawing is crap and shows no understanding of the volumes of the hand. No point rendering a bad drawing. When you understand the volumes, rendering will be a lot more straightforward.

>>3074161
stop the whole time stamping trend thing.

we're not impressed you CUNT.

ahh thank you I never noticed that

I think like every other thing I work on I'm putting way too much work into this orz.. I don't know why I thought I could handle this when I don't know anything about colour theory or lighting
Also I realize that it's really dingy, I need to work on using lighter values

Are these the same artist? If so blog? If not blog/blog?

>>3074200
Post work

Maybe just try framing the sides, I think that works, the roof frame really closes it in and not in a good way, the shape is too convenient for the picture and creates a weird sort of tangent/unfinished look IMO

>>3074502
Haha yea those are mine, no blog soz

I've really slowed things down in order to refine my rendering. I think I've done a lot better, just looking for some additional critique now. What will help me reach that photographic level of realism, should I push the values more?

>>3076495

much better anon

photo realism is usually achieved in the fine details, like the little droplets of moisture around the eyes, pores in skin, etc.
