Finished this: lofi posted:At some point I need to track down the infamous Chris Hart boob-muscle diagram and save it for when this stuff comes up. This reminds me of the How to Draw Manga book I picked up at my school's Scholastic book fair when I was 10.   It took me way too long to stop drawing those drat eyes.

The manga book I got in the late 90s was quality, but it still hosed me up and it took art school to (mostly) fix me. Although what little construction I still do is still fairly informed by it

I'm pretty sure 90% of an art school professor's job is to tell teenagers to stop drawing animes. I've been listening to a lot of Not Another D&D Podcast and it inspired me to do some fan art of The Goodest Boy, Beverly Toegold V.  Really hope I got that greasy teenage aura right...

I didn't start drawing until well into my 30s, so I feel like I'm not very good. But this year I did Inktober for the first time. Here are some inktobers I did. I did every day, but I'm not gonna post all of them.      The unlabeled ones were "ash," "misfit," and "treasure," respectively. The first one is colored with markers, and the last with colored india inks.

One student accused me of "not teaching style". I gritted my teeth and told him to go develop his own. Also - this is HILARIOUS: lofi posted:At some point I need to track down the infamous Chris Hart boob-muscle diagram and save it for when this stuff comes up. Would you believe the student who accused me of not teaching "style" was a big anime fan? Yeah... hard to believe, right? Oh yeah ... content.

wow it's been ages since my last post! I've been doing stuff.... just not my own stuff. Finally decided to develop some more of my own illustrations based on some random prompts and see if I can work them into some apparel designs or something.  And the line-work I did for a beer label design:  my buddy Superfly posted:Been working on a bigger project so kinda got behind on daily drawings but i'm back baby Loving these 8-bit doggos (and catte), very OG gameboy.

I love the ball of hands reaching towards the light. I really hope you color it. :3 In other news I have a Wacom intuos from like 2013 and I got it up to date and tried to draw in Clip Art Studio but geez that is hard! Think I am going to stick with traditional for now.

Thank you! I've recently become a big fan of this gameboy color palette i have in Dotpict so I started screwing around with it on CSP which has been working out pretty well I think. Also when behind on drawings, just draw a pokemon!

Works ng on artdome stuff. Tried to draw the pink mouse guy before I sort of gave up on the shading and my daughter insisted I draw for her instead. This was a super rough sketch of a mini in the mini painting thread. I wanted to see what it looked like if I didn't care about anything and just tried to draw what I saw.

Inktober 2019 "Coat" Yeah... I had a few unfinished ones. I made a lot less drawings this year compared to last but I like to think I spent more time on the ones I did draw. Or - just getting old. Also I feel like it is just a prompt to get better with ink, regardless of how many actually get done. Propitious Jerk posted:
I agree that this is fantastic!

I don't think the drone is reading very well. could be lighter or something to make it pop out a bit looks great overall

Actually, I think it's not just a value problem. It's also saturation. The saturation of the blues in the drone is very close to the saturation of the greens behind it. I still think the backlight thing will help, but it would help more to significantly desaturate the blues in the drone.

The purple and blue bits are too compositionally strong, they’re actively drawing the eye around the ship. It’s like you’re trying to hide it.

Trees are too saturated and light for the level of light in the picture, they should be mostly shadow and nearly grey at that light level. If you squint and look at the image, the all the light is in the city, which is why it draws the eye so much. it's realistic, but draws attention from (what I assume you want to be) the focal point of the drone. Putting a couple of LEDs on the drone might help draw attention to it. e: oh, it has some. maybe make them brighter? lofi fucked around with this message at 09:35 on Nov 17, 2019 |

Agree that the city and close building are the first read. When I did see the drone, the prominence/brightness of the city and the leading lines in the close building made me assume the drone was flying toward the city. I noticed the cat much later, and then finally noticed the red "eyes" that make the drone look like it's facing the cat, and hovering there instead of zooming towards the city. I'd say tone down the city - in scale, overall brightness (keep some bright windows and street level glow, but maybe have some darker patches too), and saturation. I know you're not going for naturalistic colors, but the trees are too bright and too saturated green to belong in a night scene (except under the lights, where that color makes more sense). They should shift towards blue and desaturate and darken. This would make the drone stand out even less, but if the city is toned down the drone won't be fighting so much for attention. A slightly brighter/larger light source in the room behind the cat could draw a little more attention to the foreground, and motivate some brighter/sharper highlights along the drone, which would help it read while still keeping the overall vibe quiet. The cat could also benefit from some rim lighting. Well I wrote too much so I did a paintover to show my rough implementation of the above suggestions

My room is painted all white, which is nice and airy, but feels cold with winter-blue light. So I decided I'm going to do some paintings in hot colours to try and make it a bit more cosy. (Also - I'm finally doing well enough to get some actual art done!  )
