>>1360132
>i don't want to waste the work i've put in it
Well, you did. Accept that and move on. As a general rule, if you're every doing a fully polished artwork, whether it be painting, tight linework, etc, you should have thumbnails done well before hand. Know that the composition, values, colors, gesture, etc, work well before you sink your time into it in the future.

>painting and drawing with a mouse is a chore
Work traditionally for the time being then. You shouldn't be using an ineffective tool.

>>1360166

It looks to me like you went a little too heavy with the eyelids. Redo them, but zoom in and use a small brush. The shading underneath the (camera)left one is much farther down than the one on the right, which makes it look misaligned. The nose seems a little bit too tilted right for how tilted the head actually is. The head also requires shading on the sides. It looks a bit flat.

>>1360178
Thanks. I haven't gotten very far into this, so I'll fix the shading as I go along, keeping those points in mind. first stop: nose and mouth.
>>1360173

Some of the highlights you have going are working pretty well like on the hind legs but the forms are still coming off as pretty flat. The underbelly and "meaty" parts of the legs could use some paneling to round them out.

Lookin cool though

>>1360248
Firstly, thank you for the reply, secondly, pardon my ignorance, but if you were to go about this, how would you keep the forms from coming away looking so flat? Is it simply a matter of lighting and shadow, or is there something else you see that you would do to correct this problem? Also, when you say paneling, does that mean to round out the edges, or are you meaning something else when you say paneling?

This is /ic/'s draw thread, where the focus is to post your own work for critique.

>>1360245
It's both, really. Shade the different forms as the geometric shapes they are and think about how they work on each other to add more midtones and highlights. The paneling is something you're already doing somewhat with your white highlights but think of when you use wrapping lines on a gesture drawing to make it appear 3d. Since we're dealing with machinery, you can use lines like that as if it's the creases between sheets of metal wrapping around a surface. Spherical shapes aren't often made with one sheet of pounded metal but various segments of curved sheets.

I'm doing character design but as you can see, it is not going very well. I spent too much time working on the face and didn't see how stupid the pose is. I haven't worked at all on the composition as well. Thus, I consult thee for guidance.

She is supposed to be Summix, the lonely warrior princess of a once great but now fallen kingdom. (Sci-fi, not fantasy btw) I want to introduce her by drawing her in the middle of a battlefield with her side losing.

how do you intend to finish the rendering on this?

Not sure how to proceed since I can't into armor design and basic perspective.Might do some quick studies first.

>>1360452
this looks actually fine if you add some details on the dragon and rider. It's good enough I would say.
It isn't 100% clear what's going on, I guess the dragon is surprised by a sudden outburst of the foreground volcano?
The figures seem to be a bit too far away from the fire to really have such a heavy reaction, so I'm not sure if I'm seeing this the right way.
You could put the figures near the pillar of fire, but that would require a lot of painting.
Or you could put the volcano near the figures but that would endanger the overall composition and the fine details you've already painted.

You could learn out of it for the next painting.
The technique you've used is somewhat inefficient and now you're stuck with the composition with little flexibility left.

The clouds, head of the beast and the mountain on the left look hand-painted. So I'm guessing that you zoom in at an earlier stage and begin to drift away with rendering?
If that's true, then you can easily loose all control over composition, light and focal points.
Put your picture at a grey scale and it becomes a mush. You'll need to do a whole lot of messing around with curves and masks to get that right again.

The better way would be to work hierarchically, starting from big to small. You surley did small thumbnails (if not, do it). Then you need to paint all the necessary shapes on your canvas and thinking about direction, silhouettes and light. If you have your shapes, don't zoom in and refine this stage in a thoughtful way.
Zoom in at the very last minute, if your overall picture looks good as a thumbnail.

Here's John K on Frank Frazettas compositon: http://johnkstuff.blogspot.de/2009/01/frazetta-caricatures-composition.html
As a rule of thumb, a composition really looks good if the shapes are clear and read well even at a really small size.
(there are exceptions like "Where's Waldo?" or Eboys art, but these never look dramatic)

Good luck anon!

>>1360450
Anything?

I'd look at the calf muscles, right now, they look flat. Just a LITTLE bit of a muscle Even it's just a little curve on the outer edge of the legs.

Otherwise, it's a lovely piece.

More portrait attempt/studies. Laid the photo over the most similar part of the sketch and redlined to compare inconsistencies. I notice I have a hard time recognizing the correct angles for proportions, especially when mounting the nose things get all fucked up. Thoughts, anyone? Might just be a matter of grinding out portraits but if i'm overlooking something that might help my recognition I'd like to hear it.
