nice skulls bro

>>5109080
Thanks

Really had fun with this one, I'm starting to love drawing again when I stop stressing about what's commercially viable.

>>5109597

Love this. Don’t give a fuck about anything else and just draw what you want

>>5109080
Very nice anon

I was focusing on shapes when doing the hair but I think it ended up feeling too flat compared to the rest of the image. Also I feel like something is missing in this painting but I don't know what. Would love some critiques.

>>5109864
The whole thing feels flat because none of it indicates perspective or depth, and your pillow-shading isn't doing you any favors. First, you have really strong contrast on your background, and in theory the shapes COULD indicate perspective, but there's no change in value or brightness to help with that, they're flat the whole way down. On top of that, even though abstract, the background seems to imply a vanishing point near the center, though nothing is really aligned to it, and the figure itself isn't connected to that perspective. You'd achieve a lot more depth by grounding your figure with a strong perspective and then placing your environment on the same grid, and THEN distorting it, rather than the other way around.

Outside of that, the whole pose is very odd. Her hair is flying up as if she's falling, but her legs are crossed tightly which feels like she's sitting. This is possibly because you did the Superman thing and referenced a sitting pose. It gives the whole pose a lack of weight and momentum. Plus the clothing like the skirt is tight to the body and not indicating any consistent direction of movement.

As for the lighting, it's unclear where and what light is filling the scene. The shadow indicates a light above the figure, though are the squares "emissive"? Do they fill the scene with ambient blue light? It's not reflected in the shading if so. Either way, the strong directional light isn't consistent throughout, you seem to be just shading where you think shadows go in lower areas, rather than treating light as directional. Pick a direction, apply strong and uniform shadows opposite that, and then add ambient bounce-light into the shadows if there is any.

>>5109876
Thank you for the thorough critique. I figured the reason why it felt flat was because of the lighting and overall rendering. I did use multiple references for the pose, but none of the were sitting, one of them was standing up with extreme perspective though. It was pretty hard to find a decent reference of someone falling, could you help me figure out how I could make this have more weight and momentum like you said?

>>5109597
good skill, Im not into this kind of art with realistic animals but the fucking draftmanship is there, good job anon.

>>5109002
took a break from animating this thing due to work, working on it again now

>>5109597
Pure soul. Love it.

>>5109597
Cool

>>5109170

Wa do u think of this random design?

>>5110737
I absolutely love this

study from the craig mullins course

>>5110737
I like the colors but I thought the face was gonna be a hologram screen with emotes.
Just found this old work and I’m trying to recline and finish it. Minor headache. Something doesn’t look right.

Done for the day, gonna add a projected holograph from the handheld and a bit of reflected light in the shadow

>>5109597
incredible

>>5110737
Very nice but that arm is kind of long, looks intentional since you're accounting for that robotic implant but I think it raises unnecessary questions

overall good shit bro

>>5110827
Gap in her teeth is not angled right unless he teeth are at a weird angle.

>>5109002
ms paint time

>>5111061
It’s purposefully curved since she’s a cartoon speaking.

>>5111087
Nice

>>5111390
Wew this looks great. Was this a study of a portrait?

>>5111409
Literally Google the file name. It's the pic wikipedia used for the top of the article.

>>5111409
Yessir

>>5109002
trying to draft out a Torghast/maw poster with the main trapped crew and some Bolvar, prolly some ominous jailer/slyvannas in contrast

/ic/ has been divided into way too many generals, these threads are slower than ever.

>>5110029
best itt.
do you have insta?

>>5111709
Thank you! And yes:
https://www.instagram.com/peterscherbarthberlin/

>>5111422
Looking forward to seeing how this works out anon, some really nice shapes

nice composition

>>5111422
i like the composition a lot

>>5111683
Theyve been much slower in the past.

>>5110824
Good values
Bad colors

lmao this used to be the pro thread now it's just second /beg/

>>5110824
>>5112122 exactly-dont't shade with black

Most recent. Didn't put as much effort into the hands and foot as I should have but I wanted to finish it in one sitting and it was getting pretty late

>>5112124
post work mongoloid

>>5112124
why the fuck do you think people who knew what they were doing would come here?

Happy pen day.

Finished this.

>>5112912
This is sick!! Really amazing!!!

>>5112375
Show the left page...please?

Something simple... this is based on a short comic i made couple months ago..

>>5113268

>>5113373
Did you use reference for those drawings? They remind me of something, but I can't put my finger on it.

Stayed up late last night finishing this and spent all day at work in a sleep-deprived haze.

https://mobile.twitter.com/JustinSadur/status/1346524366280900608

Work in progress, graphite and white chalk

>>5111255
Fixed up the proportions on the left jaw and cheekbone, moved a couple other things around.

>>5113881
Rotate, my dude.

Also, you have decent shape language, but I think your understanding of forms is lacking in a lot of areas.

Same skull 587564 other people have already studied. Should probably do movie frames ...

Yea

any tips on how to push values?
i'm never sure where to begin

>>5113912
would be nice if you said what areas

>>5114432
I start at the darkest dark disregarding dark accents, go lighter, then bring in the accents
also that’s the gayest thing on the board and we have two oc threads

>>5114437
thank you very much for the tips and gay words, i take pride in knowing my art is the gayest this side of the map

(for real though sorry for cringe, my tutors eat this shit up)

>>5114445
how about i eat your shit up instead, baby girl

I know it's kind of beg tier, but I always get ignored there, so trying to post here. Anything that could be fixed? (Colors, lineart, yknow literally anything)

>>5113250
why is her right leg exposed? what if she hurt herself ffs?!

>>5113912

Another case of "you figure out whats wrong not me"

>>5114452
Looks fine, although a bit sterile. I'd try with adding more variety in line weight and perhaps drawing the lines freehand, so they don't come out completely straight. But maybe that's not the style you're going for.

>>5114452
Your line are all very hard, while your shading is all very soft, and doesn't seem to correspond consistently to the forms suggested by the lines. It leaves the picture feeling disjointed and unfinished.

Particularly, the door and doorframe have a bunch of lines that look like parts should be raised or recessed, but the shading doesn't do anything to suggest that. Line work and color/shading have to complement one another.

Any feedback?

>>5110352
I like it, but the hands need a lot of work.

drew my friend's vagina

>>5114784
Why would you ask you mom to pose like that

>>5114762
Tears don't start from the outer corner of the eye.

>>5114801
You are right, never noticed that thanks

tried to imitate how Sarunas Macijauskasdoes skin
maybe still not flat enough

Took a sadness break from drawing for a few months but I've been doing some portraits recently just did this one.

>>5114893
Why are all my photos always fucking sideways ree.

>>5114652
>>5114752
Thanks, as I said I'm kind of beg, expecially with brackground and colors, usually I just draw the character. I'll try to get better thank you really

>>5114784
is this cloud sexy?

>>5114893
my guy you need to study planes of the face and basic lighting, also ditch the scratches

>>5109002
I did this today. Its my first try with marker style colour pens.

need a pencil sharpner

>>5114992

>>5114784
Did she let you?

tomorrow is my 200th face, any suggestion for anything cool?

>>5110737
Cool shit. But i would've changed the angle of the sword since it's in the same direction of his arm. Looks a bit boring that way.

>>5109864
You've failed to convey her anatomy in perspective. Her body is all fucked up.
Try to practice simple perspectives first until you get more comfortable with anatomy.

>>5109886
I like.

>>5113250
Fucked up perspective and positioning on legs and feet.

>>5113307
Very charming.
The brightness levels of the environment clash together however. The wall, the elephant, the desk, and the sky outside are dark and calm in color, meanwhile the carpet is a hot piercing yellow, and no wood is as bright as that windowsill.

>>5113621
Fill in the base colors/values with solid paint. Working with an opaque brush from the ground up makes everything look whispy and without structure.

>>5114762
Post in /beg/.

>>5115507
That candle is not nearly bright enough to light her face like that.

>>5115563
uh what

>>5115537
How?

>>5113250
the way you rendered the suit looks amazing

>>5114452
soul

>>5115563

You are a dumbass

>>5115556
I thought it was decent.

Also made this, am I really /beg/?

>>5115829
no, this is pretty dope anon

>>5115829
Yes you're /beg/. Your face is disfigured. >>5114762
Work on your anatomy.

someone please help with my foreshortening I never get any better jesus christ

>>5110579
reminds of uno moralez' works! good stuff

>>5113393
I like it but it is missing people. I mean if that's what you were going for okay, but as is it has a sense of wrongness to it because we see not a human in sight

>>5115685
good shit anon

>>5109002

>>5116014

That torso is Loooooong. I think it should look something like this but I'm no expert. If this is the best construction you can do, maybe you could look at doing some 3D ref stuff in Daz or DesignDoll. I bet you could also find something like this in some superhero comic covers too... No need to rush into things.

>>5115829
Yeah that's pretty /beg/ too.

I added a quick and dirty background to my portrait of Marcus Aurelius.

>>5116365
And heres the background on its own.

got 3 commissions to finish but instead I'm indulging myself in sketching worst waifu
how do I stop

>>5116365
Damn this looks great.

>>5116389
Instead sending them the commissions they paid for, just send them your sketch instead.

>>5116389

there are several very wonky things in this. how do you get commissions?

>>5116365
Looks great.
The grain filter is cope.

>>5116414
Nice shapes senpaitachi

>>5116453
Like I said, the background was just a quick thing. Without the grain, it wouldn't have matched the portrait, which was airbrushed.

>>5116456
Senpaitachi?

>>5116474
Means master, elder, or superior in moonspeak.

>>5116432
>very wonky things
which ones?
>how do you get commissions
i get emails

hey dudes.
probably way in over my head with this, but its a late afternoon-ish scene and im blocking in colors. Am i heading in the right direction...? got no clue what im doing rn.

figure practice

Had tough time with the foreshortening

>>5116054
There has been a distinct lack of humans in most of my recent artwork. If one were an armchair psychologist, one might attribute it to my growing misanthropy and alienation from the human race.

I feel more kinship with places than living things nowadays. If that makes my artwork creepy, then you may take it as a reflection of my mood.

>>5114767
Thanks. I’m going to get to them and enjoy the process. I came up with the idea after grinding on hands.

>>5114437
following your advice im trying to keep myself from thinking too much about details and instead just go in hard with the darkest tones

people who can focus long enough not to get distracted by details astound me

i'll try harder tomorrow

Don’t know much about anatomy, any proportion improvements or pointers to make this more appealing?

>>5117072
How are the arms supposed to be attached to the body?

>>5117331
I wouldn't worry about that. I'm planning on doing a bunch of surreal shit in this piece.

>>5117278
you would do well to at least match the background of your ref to your study in the future so values don't get misinterpreted over just a standard gray background (or god forbid a white one).

>>5116414
What’s your process? I like this style of painting

>>5116414
looks great anon, i'd love to see how do you approach this painting style, i try to paint like this and it looks like shit.

>>5116222
Thank you, my construction always starts out more compressed but as I draw it slowly turns into a front-on angle. I really don't know why, because I'm aware I keep doing it.

It started as something else and I think I gave the figure too much ass

>>5109002
grinding fundies to draw like a child

>>5116129
based

>>5117504
leave strokes alone
correct values
don't over work/over correct forget detail until all your values are blocked in

>>5117657
You've created a nice mood, there. Nice ass, too.

>>5117691
Thanks, anon

>>5116389
I mostly quite like this
That said, the raised leg looks small because it doesn't look like the knee is closer, so thee perspective doesn't read correctly, and the knee of the leg that's down isn't properly aligned with the foot.

>>5117680

I see some potential. What medium?

>>5117369
true, i started on a white background then realised about five minutes in that i forgot the colour, so i pussied out a little bit

>>5118091
*the background, not colour
braindead today

How do you guys go about adding texture to your piece after values or color is done? I wanted to make my art look more like it was an oil painting, but not sure what I can do to make it emulate that besides a messy texture atop an overlay/multiply layer.

>>5118420
Digital art will never look truly authentic. That being said, you can breathe a lot of life into your digital work by emulating the workflow rather than the look.

>Paint everything on a single layer.
>Think about your edges. Don't use the lasso tool, don't use the basic soft round.
>Simplify and unify your color palette.
>Think about color temperature.
>Use a limited color palette.
>Don't try to over-control your painting. Introduce a degree of randomness and jitter. Be subtle about it.
>Don't colorpick. Don't even colorpick from the colors you've already laid down within your own painting.
>Pick colors that are more saturated than you think they should be, and dial them back gradually.
>Don't dull your colors with grey, dull them with complimentary hues.
>Build texture through brushwork. Brush texture is optional, and up to personal taste. Avoid pattern repetition like the plague. Shape variety is critical.
>Decide on 1-3 very clear focal points in your composition, and render those parts with more care and attention in order of focal importance. Depending on what style of painting you want to emulate, tighten up your rendering closer to the center of the painting, and abstract your brushwork the closer you get to the borders.
>Paint with a large brush. Stick to 3-5 standard brush sizes, and work within the confines those provide. Work from biggest to smallest.
>And obviously, don't undo. Like, ever. Live with your mistakes, or work over them. If you're accident-prone, build a foundation in drawing. Drawing skills synergize with your painting ability, so you should do that anyway.
>Now that you don't undo, you're going to want to delve into proper planning so you can actually get some work done. The idea of doing preliminary sketches and thumbnails will become notably appealing to you. Remember to slow down and use your head. You'll build speed and confidence with repetition.

That's about it. Hope it helps.

some practice from today.

>>5117342
I mean you’ve got forearms attached to shoulder/bicep things

>>5118519
I wanted to get into oils to better understand these principles you outlined in your post. I started with watercolours and began applying goache to my work as well. Is there a coarse you've followed that goes over all of this in greater detail? I've got an inkling of what it was that you've may have gone through, but I don't want to assume. I appreciate the reply.

>>5118526
cute, blog?

>>5118519
>>Don't dull your colors with grey, dull them with complimentary hues.
What does this even mean? On screen mixing complementary hues just results in greys anyway, there’s literally no difference to just desaturating the color and a minuscule hue adjustment

>>5118595
thanks!

pastel

>>5119417

Oil Pastel? I used to love that medium, but I haven't used it in years.

>>5119451
yup, same here, I had forgotten how fun it is to use since it takes a lot of decisions about color out of your hands

>>5118619
I love your stuff, mate. I was gonna ask for blog myself.

Cant remember if i sent this

>>5119659

Sigh im not even gonna bother rotating.

>>5119659
messy values

>>5119667

Send your own art so i can see if you know what youre talking about, no offense.

Layout Sketch. Worked very loose because I wanted to get my ideas down and not get lost in the detail. Will do a cleaned up drawing over this.

>>5119670

Started working on this minotaur guy for a game character course I'm taking. I can see that some things are off but I find it extremely hard to see mistakes when I've done something in one sitting. I really want to get his anatomy right before I move into more refined lines, mapping the shadows, and painting.

Would love some feedback/redline... Cheers.

>>5119874

Fixed some anatomical issues and tried dropping in some placeholder shadows to get an idea of the shading. I'm still going to redo the guy with some nicer line art though.

Any glaring mistakes I need to fix before going forward?

>>5114452

○ distance between eyes is one eye, it works even if you're stylizing, if you want bigger eyes, draw bigger head.

○ add highlights in the eyes, or they look lifeless

○ think about what's farther in the environment, the tiles in front should be bigger because they're closer

○ ear is a bit too close, use construction (check loomis) to place ear correctly.

○ when your lines are so thick, draw thicker details like eyelashes, or it looks out of place

○ overall it's cute and you have potential

>>5115308

eyes are in the middle of the face, construct accordingly

>>5115829
yes

>>5116014
construct bodies with cubes, check krenz tutorials

>>5120005

○ his legs were tiny compared to the rest of the body

○ not sure if this is a commission or not but I'd also make the axe bigger,

>>5116365
>>5116372

try doing academic drawing, this is too /beg/ for now and noise doesn't hide it well enough

>>5120237

Thanks for the feedback. I tried to do one of those exaggerated videogame proportions with smaller legs and huge shoulders + arms but I guess it just reads as a mistake on my piece so I'll just make the legs longer. I like the size increase on the axe as well.

Good tips-yo...

>>5120631
cool as fuck

Leatherface Golfing. Sorry for the stain. I was chewing red gum while drawing, which was pretty stupid.

+1 if you get the reference.

I know the perspectives fucked

>>5120224
When I start out with cubes it always comes out stiff. Actually I asked Krenz in person how he avoids that and he said he doesn't, he starts loose and gestural and hardens parts as he goes.

>>5120855

Your pic is stiff either way. At least it will be more correct with proper construction.

If you want to train gesture do gestures.

Can anyone give me some advice on color? These feel kind of muddy to me

>>5120921

you colors are fine, your shadows and gradients are muddy

find a pic with nice shadows, analyze the shadows- hue and saturation.

Cont on something I began yesterday
>>5120005
Very good and the other anon posted some good advice

I believe i still have time for a New years drawing

>>5120631

based qi sheng luo

>>5110674

Is the neck alright?

>>5117657
Episode 2: the second one
Been chipping away at this between deliveries. Might post when it is done depending on interest

gosh I've missed being able to erase things

How do I into painting? Inking and binary is all that makes sense to me and is enjoyable.

>>5121688
for reference, as I ink it.

>>5121689
fuck painting stay lineart chad forever

I only have a few days to work on this before it's due. I know the composition is weak but I'm still new to doing splash/covers, so how to put together strong layouts and color palettes eludes me.

Either way, going to do the best I can with the time and then on to the next piece for this project.

>>5120771
it's accurate enough, pleasing to look at, dont worry about making it perfect

>>5121736
I love this. The rendering of the stone, the atmosphere, just the style in general are all really good. Pic related a very minor suggestion in terms of quickly improving composition, feel free to disregard.

>>5109886
This needs to be the new sith lord, darth ewok

>>5114939
Meh, not cloudy enough

>>5115147
Dont use a reference, scribble on the paper and letyour mind find the face in the lines. Just gotta erase the lones you dont want

>>5121736
I was half expecting that to be sarcasm because of how bad I got shit on for my last painting.

I kinda get what you're going for with moving the devil guy, I think it works in concept but I was already really unsure about what was essentially a big blank section in the bottom corner (I couldn't decide whether it should be rubble or what and I couldn't make the legs look good, so I just put dark cloth draped there). So I feel like making that even bigger and emptier just makes it look very lazy.

>>5121814
The light on the face does not make much sense to me, it implies some very strange planes.

I was working through this painting tonight. I'm just sort of putzing around with colours and junk
>>5121766
I think this is a great improvement, nice work. If you're worried about what to do with the bottom right of the painting, I'd keep it simple and obscured so that the focus stays on the characters. I don't think it'd look lazy at all!
>>5121036
very nice drawing, the faces and the hand have a lot of nice details. I think the cloth is lacking a bit, it doesn't seem to have the same level of familiarity as the other parts of the illustration. that's just a matter of doing some small studies though, the rest of the drawing is coming together nicely

>>5121849
Blog?

Some hand practice

Trying my hand at painting colour instead of just doing it flat. Not so good but I didn't try to make it clean

>>5121119
insane

>>5121119
The perspective on this is off in such an odd way. We're seeing the top of her hair and the bottom of her feet at the same time. It's cubism.

Even at the shoulders, we can see the top of the epaulets/loop thing and the top edge of the collar.

>>5121907
Well, her head is tilted towards the viewer a bit, and the upmost plane that we see on her hair is not the top but the edge of the top of the hair. Back of the collar is also tilted. Okay I'll stop making excuses for my self now

>>5121736
I sligtly feel like you went into detailing a bit too fast
Te style is very cool and gives off that tabletop vibe but there are still design and color decisions to be made but you already finished rendering of the faces and some on the demon
I guess it depends on the workflow but I personally always regret getting into detailing too fast

I recently got back into art, I am out of job thanks to covid and have a lot of time now.
Found this old painting I never finished even though I tried to finish it twice like two years ago or something.
Just wondering if you guys think it might be salvagable, I sort of like the texture and folds on the face, or should I abandon it because no one cares about capeshit anymore.

>>5113250
perspective of the feet suggests that her body should go deeper into the painting, at a very steep angle, above the boots her legs essentially break (especially her left (right from our view)) after that point the body is mostly consistent with only a slight perspective shift with a far lesser angle and then once again you cheat using the scarf/clothes and her head becomes arbitrarily placed
Your rendering and overal style are really cool but I suggest you fix her feet and head considering that you've already rendered a lot of the body, make it a bit less of a steep angle
I don't have wacom here so I tried to edit your painting a bit with shitty old PS and lasoo tool, hope it is more clear this way

>>5113250
>>5122073
Again sorry for no redline, this is essentially what kind of a perspective for the body the feet that you placed seems to suggest

>>5122079
>>5122073
>>5121907
I probably won't redo this drawing, but thanks for the feedback, I'll keep these in mind in the future

>>5122060
Probably. I only have a few days to work on these and since these are basically the first actual paintings (digital or otherwise) I've really done, I don't have a set process or workflow established. I'm specifically trying to sidestep my normal method of drawing which is just "lots and lots and lots of construction with a pencil" and work more directly in color.

But fuck if I know how skilled illustrators pick color palettes for their pictures. I've never found any real information on the topic.

>>5122093
I am very biased but I suggest you look at workflow videos of Peleng (Sergei Kolesov)
He is a master at the kind of digital art he does and he seamlessly creates volume and composition basically without any drawing
His style is different from yours but it might be helpful
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsnfrsXSdNc&t=3s
Also I suggest you take a look at artists like Slawek Fedorczuk and Jeremy Fenske if you want to look at very good workflow imho, very stricting going from blocking to detailing without any dirt inbetween

>>5122091
I suggest you just fix the feet and slightly tilt the painting to the right, there will be no need to redo it any further than that

>>5109002
i havn't drawn in along time.

>>5122248
your style looks really cool, it gives me vibes of the kind of comic books I liked as a kid and slightly of gorillaz art
I personally would change certain values and composition a bit to enance focus on her isolation, if you would leave hands dark and illuminate only the insides which would be lit by the flame it would look a lot more atmospheric imho
here is just a bit of a paintover I did but obviously I am not sure if this was your intention

>>5122428
I like what you did there.
I will try to focus on building light that gives of more atmosphere.

This is a little comic strip I did for our office's Secret Santa.

>>5122560
I'm a high functioning retard

>>5122091
>>5122130

I agree with these changes. It's like a 1h. fix at most and it'll make your piece look a lot more professional. I love the rendering btw. Nice job on everything else.

>>5122563
Lole, this is pretty cute, very pleasant comic.

>>5122563
not bad for a retard. looks like the wikihow art style.

>>5122563
Excellent

I read it first as the dog is "the thing", aka shapeshifting alien, which devours the woman and makes her run away.

>>5122068
It's definitely not too late, but of course don't expect the same reaction as when Endgame was in theaters.

>>5122563
You should break the dog's tail at the extremes of the smear. You did it right in the first panel.

>>5122949
I'm a fucking retard
Do you think it could have been good enough quality to get some views?

>>5123197

Yes (other anon)

>>5116699

>>5116858
Could you post the reference photos for these? I like the poses and what to try drawing them myself is all.

>>5109002
Wip

>>5121568
and i'm also unsure with this one.

>>5123546
That neck is a little thick for that body, but also the size of the trapezius seems to be making it look bigger than it should be. Generally on women the traps are much smaller and connect lower than on men. I also think the figure is a little off balance, those feet are pretty far in front of the figure's center of mass. If a humanoid is going to try and stand on extended stilts that contact the ground that far forwards, they would need to lean their upper body forwards.

tried a more animeish face

>>5122563
this is super cute and i love it

>>5123483
blog? I love the rendering

not sure if my drawings are what what i think they are. drawing waifus makes me insecure.

i gave up on color for now

>>5123640
Go to /beg/, no offense

>>5124841

I really don't get the concept here. Is this supposed to be sexual for guys or some kind of empowerment for fat chicks or what?

This just kinda gives me an icky feeling with that realistic hand, ugly body proportions, and cartoony face. I like your minimalistic line quality but kinda looks like you looked at 5 different reference images and copied them for different body parts and nothing's really sitting together well. Sorry...

>>5124852
dude relax... I'm just a /beg/ trying out some stuff

>>5124856

I was being completely chill. Sup?

Been struggling with line dependency and have very little experience with colors
Got some advice a while ago to do some master studies
Finally found some time to do a few, think this is exactly what I need despite the result not really doing anything for my ego.

>>5112336
There used to be. Only maybe 2 pros still post here. I’ve stopped posting my work here since no one can offer me good advice anymore.

>>5121791
Lol still can’t take advice I see. Stay bad loser.

>>5124982
which master studies you did?
btw the girl in lower left is tasty as fuck, good job

>>5124856

oh, don't be an asshole now, I'm a junior 2d artist wtih a studio job, and you're better than me

calling yourself /beg/ is disrespectful to all the actual /beg/s here

(another anon)

>>5124982

master studies are great, do longer ones too 3-10hrs you'll learn a lot

>>5125176
What the fuck, where are you a junior 2d artist if you are worse than that, what the fuck? I want a job too

Recently discovered the dithering brushes in MS Paint B&W mode and I am having a blast. Anyone have any tips/experience with these tools?

>>5125139
>which master studies you did?
Just followed along with the video that was posted last time https://youtu.be/kQfF-P70V2Q
Then picked two paintings by AnatoFinnstark to try completely on my own.
>btw the girl in lower left is tasty as fuck, good job
thanks my dude

>>5125186
yeah probably a good idea, it's gonna be a bit difficult finding the time, gonna see if I can make some longer ones into a weekly project.

>>5125204

You not recognizing how good he is, is probably a sign of lacking skill

>>5125225
When I open this and scroll, it flashes red,eheuehheuheuuhe.

>>5125257
pyw faggot

what a shit thread

Is there a meme on /ic/ that all "advice", even from admitted /beg/ is valid and should be followed?

Like the joke is "do whatever anyone suggests because that's how you improve"?

>>5125605
The key is to never follow advice ever

>>5125618
I have a policy of only paying credence to critique that is explained. If you can't explain why you think something is wrong, then you're just shitposting.

>>5121568
The line from the clavicle should go straight up to her left ear. Yours starts turning towards the corner of her jaw.

>>5125605

>>5125662
That actually did the trick, thank you.

>>5123614
The neck in this one was also easy to fix, the legs were tricky though.
I drew human legs over the bird legs and moved the talons to where the human feet would be and redrew the remaining parts.
I think it worked out, thanks for the advice

marf

>>5125830
You don't understand the logic behind the anatomy of digitigrade legs. I hope of related makes it more clear, digitigrade legs aren't actually adding an additional joint, at least not in the way you imagine it, everything that comes after the second bend is actually a giant foot and all digitigrade creatures are standing on their tippy toes basically. Stand on your tippy toes, now imagine that the distance between your heel and your toes would increase to make the foot longer, that's what is going on actually.

i really need to learn how to keep a consistent style

WIP gonna paint over whenever I feel like it.

>>5124982

Dumb question but do you eyedrop the colors or judge by eye what color it is?

>>5126323
Well during the video he said using the eyedropper is like tracing, you turn your brain of and don't learn anything.
So I didn't use it at all, I spent most of my time trying to fiddle with the colors and they're still quite off despite that^^

Trying to learn from twitter artists, who should I learn from?

>>5126717
Sorry dumbass big image

>>5125204
Yeah agreed.
>>5125176
Can you talk about how you found your job, where you applied, what the process was like etc?

Starting up this shit again. Does the composition look alright?

>>5126308
I like the feel of this, it's a little rough but in a way that's quite satisfying. It's a little empty in places though.

I'd say your style looks pretty consistent through all the panels?

>>5127147
it's more an issue consistency across multiple pages and multiple pieces of work, honestly
my first page looked a lot more "crisp" i suppose, not as much rendering and less soft edges

thank you so much for the feedback btw, im practicing objects and perspective etc. on the side while i'm doing this comic

>>5125898
Nice colours

>>5126729
>>5125204

I bet if you guys showed me your artstations it's full of stuff that studios don't need.

And I got it the usual way, been writing to companies for 2 years, and doing test if they gave me one, eventually improved enough to pass and got an offer. The industry is understaffed.

>>5127750
Real question here from a different anon. I think I might be okay enough to get an entry level industry job but I don't know how it works if I am a foreigner from a third world country, most of the art I do currently is fantasy book covers and other cheap local shit.
Is there basically no chance for me? Do I need to be far better than what would be needed for local entry level?

>>5128057
Great concept horrible understanding of lighting
Why is there a random rim light on the mid left arm?
Also perspective is wonky on the drowning buildings, they are at different axis to each other but you can tell by the roofs that its still wonky

>>5127316
ty

>>5128135
Thanks. This entire piece was toget an idea of where I stand with my knowledge of lighting before I approach a course and refine my knowledge. The rim light will be adjusted; I just wanted to differentiate between the arms.

The buildings are supposed to be ruinous, but I’ve no experience drawing buildings. I’ll use a reference for them and work it out more. Thanks for the feedback m8

>>5110352
love this, blog?

>>5112101
blog?

>>5113373
why grid paper

>>5128729
Interesting rendering of hair but values on the face are all messed up

>>5128125

This is absolutely fucking beautiful! Do you have a blog or something? I think you might even be able to land a job with companies like Magic the gathering.

Small crit though: I feel like the red cloud splits the image in an awkwardly horizontal way straight from the centre. I'd position it more like this \.

GJ, third world boi/gurl!

>>5112375
Your anatomy is very fun and cool looking but tits need a bit more gravity to them

>>5129092
Not my art, its the only artist in my country who I respect.
We used to be roughly on the same level like two or three years ago until I quit art and got a job while he started to grind hard and put out couple of beautiful compositions like this. His figure drawing might be a bit wonky but his composition and rendering got so beautiful that I think it would look good on an MTG card, neadless to say he also works for relatively cheap prices on local market with some freelance here and there. He coulld be working for much better projects imho.
After corona hit my job got fucked and I was not willing to put more hours into something that was actively making me lose money at this point, so I decided to return to freelance art.
pic related more of his recent art

Trying to go for the rule of cool. I hope i achieved the cool look.

Here’s a draw thread request I’m working on.

>>5129143
no one but you can make out what you intend here yet other than vague space marine shape
the perspective is cool, I guess the forshortening on his farther side is a bit off and his top plane of body could be tilted a bit forward for more dramatic perspective

>>5129091

Any area of the face in particular? I didnt use eyedrop tool on the ref this time just went by eye. I probably overdid it with the soft brush too.

You should get a local job first, studios usually willing to help you relocate if you're valuable. Get a senior artist position in a local studio. You'll be a lot more employable.

Also art degree helps with getting a visa.
