I fail.I will incorporate moar 3dness into the chosugoikawaii facedesu when I redo this study.Thank you.

<= I can post this in the draw thread, right ? :)

Since I neglect measuring stuff, there's probably some proportion issues. Yet, knowledge gained !

slapped on some colors.. feeling desperate

old stuff

>>1171392
Looks like pillow shading

>>1171419

I don't suppose you would mind posting more wip's of that, would you?

I love the coloring.

>>1171428
What do you mean by it? Id love some tips.. Ive read alot of colors, but in practise im a babby :(

I cant work out what's wrong, or how to fix

>>1171453
Stare at the face for a while,then mirror the image.
You'll see what's wrong.

(...It's the face structure.It's all kinds of messed up.)

>>1171456
Yeah, also the head was too big

>>1171433

Not the same guy, but you don't have a defined light source. Because you don't have a proper light source, your rendering suffers.

>>1171458
she has long nose and ears is too high

>>1171367
drew this yesterday when i was tired. redline on the hip thanks

>>1171453
Maybe this helps?
I wasn't so sure, either. Post the reference?

>>1171453
Take a look at this, take some notes:

Anyways, I posted this in the other 2 thread, here is yet another update (Yes I know it i'm extremely slow).

First time using a tablet, thoughts?

>>1171467
Wow, thankyou.
I used this mostly for reference

>>1171507
Also, I'd suggest you draw "chucks/strands of hair" instead of "every single hair". Makes it look very frizzy. I'm sure there are great tutorials on that around.

>>1171464
You don't need a redline, instead just compare your drawing to the reference you were copying. The differences between the proportions of what you drew and what the reference looked like is what you need to fix.

Actually it looks like anatomy studies are WAY above your current skill level. Before you tackle that, learn how to draw simple forms in perspective. You should be BUILDING that leg with construction, not just copying the lines you see in the reference. Memorizing the lines will just help you when the leg you're drawing is in that specific position. Your goal should be to be able to draw that leg in any position you can imagine.

So first learn how to draw forms, then start studying your favorite anatomy instructor (Loomis, Hogarth, Vilppu..ect)

>>1171511
Oh my, that tutorial page just made me realize that I really do need to do some in-depth anatomical studies.
Not the one you're replying to, though. Also, do you have more stuff like that?

>>1171513
http://analyticalfiguresp08.blogspot.com/

Latest thingy.
I know there are tons of flaws, but I'm now setting time limits. Otherwise I'd keep aimlessly trying to correct stuff.

As far as I can tell:
1. Value problems
2. Bottom seems a little too wide ?
3. Flatness
4. Noobiness

>>1171520
No ambient occlusion, no contact shadow, no bounce/reflected light (green should be bounced into areas of the cup) and you might as well not blend if you're going to just barely start. You'd probably learn more from a study where you just block in the values anyways. Nice study, keep up the good work.

>>1171529
Also perspective feels wonky. Did you "build" this cup out of simple forms or did you just draw what you saw? If the latter, you'll have to do much more comparing of angles and proportions to get accurate results.

>>1171432
Thanks, When I block in some more I'll post it again

I got this done before I tragically lost my tablet pen.

How is the stylization?

DO YOU KNOW THE SAUCE ON THAT DRAWING SERIES? I've seen it before, it reminds me of Michael Hampton's stuff, but it isn't...I think?

>>1171551

Just saw sauce, but still, what's up dude.

Added lines on the hair, just want this to be over now

>>1171547
i like the profile enough, but i feel the eye could be a little smaller. otherwise, its recognizable as link...

>>1171547
Push the eye back further. It's too close to the nose, which makes it look like it's protruding. I love the sharp edges, though. Especially the nose and jaw, along with the lips. No soft/airbrush-y coloration please, that'd ruin the sharp appeal.

>>1171561
>>1171566

Thank you, sirs. I'll see what I can do with the mouse.

>>1171554
Hm.. I've never experience "sand" in a pencil that I can remember in my entire life. What kind of pencil was it? #2?

>>1171368
The old thread was at 257 posts.

>>1171548
I like these a lot. I feel the shading could be a little smoother but otherwise great.

>>1171661
thanks a lot. theyre pencils for a comic, so the shadows will get smoothed out with inks im thinkin.

>>1171667
What comic?

>>1171657
Ignore the post that is linking to.

Based on those pictures, it looks like anatomy studies are WAY above for you to redline for your current skill level. learn to stop drawing simple forms. drawing simple forms will draw you simple forms and wasting your time. perspective is for later and in more building oriented. foreshortening on the other hand. Create and BUILDING the anatomy leg with reference rather then random forms is better here. memorizing lines will help you understand constructing. drawing random balls will make you play with balls. but here we dont do balls we do anatomy ;) understanding anatomy and doing redlines help you draw in other forms. but ironicly enough you always use reference. Loomis is horrible since he was a racist, but his main problem was aesthethically pleasing forms and understanding where the hip actually was. he isnt keen on anatomy reference in his books. stop reading from racists. villpu is an old man who speaks so low you think the microphone is in his ass.Now that you think about it? where is that microphone? anyway he certainly does not explain figure drawing at least. seems more like he does not understand figure drawing and seem to go on a rant rather then a constructive thing as explaining things itself.

Take constructive criticism photoshop and learn from that aswell

>>1171529
>no bounce/reflected light (green should be bounced into areas of the cup)
I dont think you understand how lightning works. if it would bounce OFF it must be a reflective surface. you can see a reflective surface if...well there is no shadow on the other side. hence why it dont bounce off. are you certain they didnt have affirmitive action set in when you took your art class?

>>1171697
I'm a racist too, so I guess Loomis is awesome for me?

>>1171702
You're an idiot.

>>1171511
are you serious?

These are more like blobs of people. they arent people.

BLOCKS ARE NOT PEOPLE AND NEITHER ARE THESE. Loomis for fucks sake blobs are not people

I'm trying to make one quick study a day. It's not very good, but here's hoping it helps me improve.

drew this, this morning.

thoughts?

So i fixed and finished my marine again. i need some criticism. Please respond

I think I fucked this one up bad.

>don't even want to try fixing it.

work in progress. crit's welcome and if anyone has any ref material or any websites that i can get some, i only started painting seriously just recently and i am high and dry on reference pics for everything.

need criticism on this! please ! i must improve.

>>1171910

One quick tip is that if you're using acrylic paint, use a spray bottle of water to keep the paint wet while blending color

Do you happen to be in the bay area, by chance?

alright fags

>Drawing shit out of a book

vs

>Drawing simple shapes in 3d space

vs

>Drawing still lifes and blind contours

What should I be doing?

You all have different opinions.

>>1171907
I'd stay away from the focal point being directly in the center. In some cases it works but it's not really... "interesting", for lack of a better word. Unless the focal point in the center encompasses a much larger area which yours sort of does but the fact that it's a direct front view of the main area, it's not that good.
Maybe start over? Same idea but different angle. Or cut out the entire right side and have your main piece be the left pathway and the main area? Or the other way around. Of course you'd have to change the perspective of with some of the transform tools.
I think you should work on that before anything else.
Also, those near whites you're using for the buildings might be too much. You could probably even it out if you add a bit of bounce light which this type of lighting and color of those buildings will result in.

>>1171910
Looks like the bridge is falling down. Draw lots of sketches before wasting paint. It's too late to fix it. And while you're doing sketches study perspective.

>>1171921
Do all three.
Start with blind contours.
Then draw simple shapes in 3 D
Then draw still lifes.
Then copy the masters from books.

>>1171915
yes i do happen to be in that area haha, inspiration .

>>1171794
his face is tooo boring, the whole thing is pretty generic, what am i meant to feel looking at him? "oh look there's a manikin from a space marine clothing store." ?

>>1172040
Yeah i was drawing Unreal Tournament style marine. Thanks anyway

>>1172044
Is it boring for concept-art? Because i was aimed on concept not illustration.

>>1172047

its very very generic.
what was your inspiration?

there is nothing visually unique or eyecatching he just looks like generic marine #294

maybe if you added something different to the norm? a good idea could be taking household items and drawing a space marine based off the materials and silhouettes from the items

>>1172047
yes it is, take a look at some gears of war concept art, see how there is focus expression and character?

here's one, i only picked it because it's giant, there are male ones that might be more relevant.

https://www.google.com.au/search?q=gears+of+war+character+concept+art

>>1172047
That is the most boring character design I have seen in a while. Its soulless, no personality, when I look at it I don't get any sense of the character from it. It reminds me of the characters that are intentionally designed to be boring and generic for games that require the players to be able to see themselves in the design.

I think the reason we can't see anything in this is because you yourself didn't give any real thought to the character's story and personality.

>>1172112
those character are called 'keanu reeves' :P

(they're really called avatars technically, if you wanted to know.)

>>1172106
Her legs are very long..

>>1172126

Help on this please.

>>1172145

I would say to go with the overall silhouette of the second one. The first makes him look a little too lean. Also reconsider the foot placement and the legs in general. Maybe even draw a simple but more defined sketch of the underlying body. I'd do a paint over but busy.

I did some aircraft studies yesterday and wanted to draw a silhouette from imagination today, and I'm not really sure about how it turned out, so I would really appreciate a crit.

>>1172248

It looks like a fucking plane. What did you expect?

Thought I'd try redrawing something I'd drawn before to see my improvement, I think it went reasonably well, except for the mouth placement (and hair, though I was trying a few different ideas on how to get decent hair). Every time I learn something about drawing I think of three new things I wish I knew how to do.

I guess that's why I love it though, the challenge, finishing one picture, looking at it and saying "It's good, but I can do better" then hitting that blank page.

My tablet came in the mail :- DDD

Messy as all hell, but yeah just thought I'd post a progress shot, first time using custom brushes

I make such ugly fucking heads, I swear.

I dunno if you remember me, Enviroguy, please help

the composition is bad... I dont think you can make this better without doing a lot of work

>>1172398
I'll be back in a few hours.

The front chains directly in the center are really distracting as it's cutting the city in half essentially.

I'll comment more later.

>>1172398

I rather enjoy the composition in this. It is dynamic.

Bring out the detail? I think this is a pretty good digital

Looks like the shield isn't casting a shadow on his body. It should block a large portion of the light hitting him.

Here's something I did about a week ago. I'm into sci-fi armors and shit.

I call him Karnsyl.

>>1172434

Oh, forgot this one as well.

>>1172433

thanks for the advice, that's quite an obvious thing for me to have missed. boy is my face red. gave it a quick go to try and fix it up, but im tired. ill attempt it again after sleep

>>1172439
I see some indication of form but overall this one looks like a series of amorphous pink flat blobs. Also the anatomy and perspective are really off all over.

Gotta work to get 'dem 2d symbols out of your noggin' bro. Also do some metal studies, or plastic studies for the way it shines. Looks like you tried to do it but it didn't work well.

>>1172398
So as I said before, the chains coming towards us are VERY distracting. it's cutting the city in half and just isn't pleasant to the eye. I was thinking like just below us. So it could act as a pathway into the city. Again, just my suggestion. You don't have to. Along the same idea of the chains, experiment with the chains some more. Give them some unique design or have them thrown all over the place (be smart with that ha). Maybe chains are attached from the bottom? Idk. Play around. :P
I do like the color. It reminds me of Noah Bradley's piece (the attached image).

Introduce some scale too. Just to give us an idea of how massive this city is.


>>1172445
Textures look pretty good on that giant structure. Nice scale, like the idea of the almost "pathetic" wooden walkways leading to this highly advanced machine tower thing. haha
Having said that, like I've said a few times before (maybe in this thread) I'm not a fan of the focal point being directly in the center. It kinda works if it's wide but yours is vertical and very thin. Maybe expand the left or right side of the canvas and use the transform tools to put it into perspective. I feel that'd give you much more space since it felt like everything was being squeezed into the canvas (namely those flying ships). I'd take out the thing in the very front. It looks like a trashcan and it's kinda distracting.
Watch your values. It's really dark on that tower when there should be a bit of atmosphere on it. And the horizon line shouldn't be curved.

>>1172445
It strikes me weird that there are more details/rendering in the objects far away than the objects that are closer to the eye.

Other than that it could've been cool. It could've been.

>>1171697
>Don't read loomis he was racist
>Vilppu can't talk, don't watch
What exactly is your advice?

>>1172145

>>1173109

>>1173123

HOLY SHIT ITS SO BRIGHT.

turn them white values down friend.

no, but really, the values are all over the place in this on top of being exceedingly bright in strange places, which is far more concerning than the perspective. like the cabinet being multiple stops darker than the head of the girl, despite that her head is DIRECTLY in front of the light source which would usually create a pretty strong contrast, unless of course the table is highly reflective in which the bottom of her face would be glowing- but anyway- point is......

simplify it! you're starting out practicing perspective and light with so much to keep track of. why not make gradual changes in improvement and practice multiple simple shapes interacting with each other on a plane with a neutral tone background? that's what everything is made up of anyway, just simple shapes; utilize them.

so props for the attempt but man, the lighting and values are all over the place. take smaller steps.

>>1173123
when it comes to perspective, that image isn't doing too well
