smallmouth posted:^^^ this is really good. You might add some shading to the whites of the eyes so they look less flat. Thank you, that's a good tip, eyes and teeth I always tend to draw less detail than i see for fear of making it look weird. I like your life drawings too, coming at it in a pretty different way  it's cool, lends itself much more to painting. I'm just obsessed with lines.

Yeeesssss you should defo do the splatter-freckles on your irl paintings, too! You should post bigger pictures, too. It always give me a tiny heart attack when I wanna see a bigger picture and suddenly a new tab is opening. That might be just me though. Anyway, afterwards you can give granny a kiss.

Sharpest Crayon posted:Oh no, Leisure Suit Larry finally bit the big one Thank you for your comments, it's very fun to draw nice and loose like that. EDIT: Did another drawing (from photo ref) of an ex. Part of an ongoing series "Portraits of Women I No Longer Speak To" =P  Small inconsistencies but it's instantly recognizable as the person it's supposed to be so I am happy. I've noticed significant progress in this sense over the course of the summer. Radio du Cambodge fucked around with this message at 22:41 on Sep 25, 2017 |

Yes. More kitty please. Gimme all the kitty you got.  I love that background gradient, such a smooth transition. It is always a delight to see a painting where the background's been put in first and you've got a strong separation between it and the foreground object. Do you paint miniatures? From the grain of the canvas, this can't be very big, but you've got some tiny detail in there. Meanwhile more bunnies.

It's an 8x10 canvas, I do have a tendency to work small and like tiny fiddly brushes. I did the initial background gradient with spraypaint!

 The first thing I've drawn since I was a kid, based off of  I think I actually prefered how this looked when I'd only filled in the hair. Where should I start with learning to draw?

You liked it after you filled in the hair because that creates a contrast and gives the picture more depth. There's no shading or light source in your drawing. You also drew with hair lines, which is okay for fast sketches and blocking things in, but "strong, confident" lines are aesthetically pleasing. The good news is you are observant, which is harder to learn. I'd say pick up something that will teach you fundamentals and give you exercises to grow with them. Books: You Can Draw In 30 Days by Mark Kistler. It's a big promise not to be taken literally, but it's 30 days of exercises with simple direction but with lots of applications Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards This is the go-to drawing book recommendation of CC for a reason Videos: Proko's Drawing Basics (YouTube) These will teach you how to develop a framework to be able to draw what you want or see, with balance and depth. Also, draw from real life! Try to draw a tree, a mailbox, a cat or dog, a leaf, a chair, a trashcan, etc. While you learn, try to figure out what you want from drawing. Do you want to get good at cartooning? Do you want to be good at still-life? Portraits? It's good for you to know what you're interested in drawing, that way you have a tangible goal to work towards. No matter what, draw what's fun. If you feel yourself being frustrated or like you aren't making progress, take a break and just doodle. Art is fun. If you have the ability to take a part-time art class or two, you should!

Thank you all for your kind comments. I dig a lot of stuff posted here but I lurk too much and seldom tell people I appreciate their art or post anything of my own. I'll try to not forget about this place in the future,.

Franchescanado posted:This is probably the most polite forum on all of SA. That's only because we all know that the Artist is a sensitive and timid beast, easily scared away by a stranger giving a sudden critique that is anything short of glowing praise for their skills. When startled, the Artist tends to scurry into their hughole where they will cry into their cup of noodles (some Artists have been known to subsist on nothing but noodles for years!) and swear to never return to the Spot Of Negative Thoughts. This can make it difficult to wrangle enough Artists into a thread to keep it active and alive, which is why we always approach possible new herd members with a gentle touch. ..until they actually ask for critiques. I can't think of a good way to tie this pic to the subject above, so just enjoy the dancing succubus.

I have considered making a thread for harsh critique because I always want people to tear my poo poo apart but most people are too nice This is even worse in person because I live in the Midwest, critiques in school were a passive aggressive nightmare

I dont know what I want to do yet, but I think I want to end up on the less realistic side of full real. I'm into photography as well and I think I want drawing to scratch a different itch. Those photorealistic drawings are awesome, but not for me, yet. I'll check those books out when I get a chance. Something that was bothering me when I drew Bojack, I used a ruler for his nose and diamond just to get the lines dead straight, because on the show, they are the one perfect thing in its art style. Is that bad for developing skill, should I avoid that and take my time and freehand? I went back over them freehand to make it look less perfect because it stood out to me.

Wowporn posted:I have considered making a thread for harsh critique because I always want people to tear my poo poo apart but most people are too nice For what it's worth, I would love a thread like this. I didn't realize how much I would miss critiques after graduating. I was also thinking about starting a paint-over thread, but I don't know how many people would be interested/participate. Wowporn posted:This is even worse in person because I live in the Midwest, critiques in school were a passive aggressive nightmare During one critique, an art professor screamed at me until he was red in the face. I would take that over passive aggressive comments any day. underage at the vape shop posted:Something that was bothering me when I drew Bojack, I used a ruler for his nose and diamond just to get the lines dead straight, because on the show, they are the one perfect thing in its art style. Is that bad for developing skill, should I avoid that and take my time and freehand? I went back over them freehand to make it look less perfect because it stood out to me. I don't think there's anything wrong with using rulers or guides at all. Even experienced artists need rulers if they want to make perfectly straight lines, but you should still freehand as much as possible to train your hand to draw what your eyes see. EDIT: Also something to consider: the reason it probably stood out is because the rest of the drawing is freehand, and the line work is sketchy with short, uneven strokes, while the ruler-guided parts were solid, straight lines. Try practicing drawing more with your arm than your wrist, as that tends to prevent the "hairy"-looking lines. Planning the drawing helps too, like making a light sketch. Then you can just draw over it with more solid, confident strokes. Sk8ers4Christ fucked around with this message at 05:16 on Sep 29, 2017 |

Critique is great and if people are more comfortable giving and recieving crits in a separate thread I'm all for it. I usually am a bit too careful when giving crits since I've seen people getting really mad at people giving such feedback in the past. In a separate thread I wouldn't overthink things and worry I'm pissing somebody off. Then again there are people claiming they want critique and get mad when people aren't sugarcoating it all. I myself like to document work in progress, so critique on pieces I'm working on would be particularly helpful. SirJohanna fucked around with this message at 22:00 on Sep 29, 2017 |

Al! posted:i didn't get to go to art school so id love people to tear apart my hosed up garbage In this one, it's cool but I'd be careful with such straight clean vertical lines like on the left side of the left tree and the right side of the right tree. I get that you're using the trees as a framing device but the singular crispness and high contrast of those edges is kind of framing the left side of the picture with the moon as its own "picture" and my eye has a hard time leaving that area even though I want to look at the glowing thing on the right. Maybe make the left side of that tree more rough or irregular or varied somehow.

a hole-y ghost posted:. Maybe make the left side of that tree more rough or irregular or varied somehow. + AI!: Left side of the tree needs thin band of illumination (moon is a light source)-that would fix the framing/depth issue (keep in mind tree trunk is a cylinder and how two light sources would reflect off that).

Easy to fix tho. Bonus: here's the pic I was using as reference, I should've expected trouble when I pulled the arm in so far, but I was far more worried that I'd make it look like his bones had separated on the elbows.  Edited to add: I want to believe

Posted this in another thread but w/e:  I'm such a nerd that I'm making a fan made Stand and Stand User like from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure  Just a little practice in character design. It's a Russian black market weapons dealer who has a Stand named [MAN ON SILVER MOUNTAIN] (haha get it cus its like that one song ho ho he he chrokle chorkle). It can extend its spine and upper torso really fuckin' high to the point where no one can see it. It also shoots bullets from its right hand that don't drop over time from gravity and hit their targets instantaneously. Plus, the Russian guy is *veeeeery* skeptical about everything in life, so the only people that hear Silver Mountain's shots are those that he trusts (which there aren't many of to begin with). And yes, those are sniper bolts on its shoulders.
