Sharpest Crayon posted:My hatred for ballpoint pens is purely based on the ink and the lack of control. The pen will sometimes leave a thinner line, meaning you gotta go over it again and now the line's messy. Sometimes you don't get a line at all, just a scratch on soft paper. And then another scratch. And another and ffffff come onnn *draws smudges in the corner to get the ink flowing* goddamnit I can SEE there's ink in there come onnnn ok here we go again.

 WIP of a drawing I'm doing (with color notes on the sides), Critique would be nice. I'm trying a type of shading where I take the skin color and darken it/change the hue. It kinda looks like he's either burnt or missing skin  And yeah, it's supposed to be a portrait of Pyrocynical. Dunno what SA's opinion on him is but he's one of the better content creators on YT.

Update, It's looking pretty good IMO. Dunno bout the nose tho.   Also just FYI, the pic on the right's being used for color ref, not the pose.

To me, the skin is looking a bit raw. For shadows, I personally like to pick just a darker, brown-greyer shade of whatever skin colour I'm using. If you're feeling wild tho, you can just go over the skin colour with a semi-opaque brush (or create a semi-opaque layer on top of your skin layer) and paint a shade of blue or purple on top of the skin colour. I like the "porous" texture in the hair and I think you could add more touches like that around the pic.

Hey goons, long time no post. One of my desperate attempts at working out how heads work just kind of turned into a sketch, so here we are. I put the date in before realising I should add a shoulder. 😕 Lesson for next time: don't do that.

Update on the funny vlogger man drawing, looks a LOT fuckin' better. Pyro doesn't look like he has exposed flesh as much. I think the shading's comin' along good too. Side note, does anyone ever get "iffy" when they describe an aspect of their work in a positive way, if that makes sense? Like when I said that the shading's coming along good, I get this paranoid feeling that I'm coming off as pretentious saying that I guess, heh.

A string of really good models at the workshop i go to has made me feel more confident about my life drawing, though I'm still itching to improve. Although I have more free time than ever, my attention is pulled in many different directions and it is hard to focus on this one skill to work on, especially when I am back to having fun at my current level.     quote:Side note, does anyone ever get "iffy" when they describe an aspect of their work in a positive way, if that makes sense? Like when I said that the shading's coming along good, I get this paranoid feeling that I'm coming off as pretentious saying that I guess, heh. I try to avoid judging my stuff on an objective level and just focus on relative success. Am I doing better than last year? Is the shading better than my last attempt? Am I feeling good about what I'm doing? It doesn't really matter though, my post above is kind of narcissistic too, just rambling journal-style. I like to write something along with the pictures I'm posting is all.

Like when I said that the shading's coming along good, I get this paranoid feeling that I'm coming off as pretentious saying that I guess, heh. Skin colour's looking loads better! That feeling of self-doubt that you may be overreaching when you talk about your work? That will never go away no matter how good you get, because it's stuck in your personality and not your ability. You can work on feeling more comfortable talking about your work in positive light. It's easier to talk about what you felt you succeeded in so you won't accidentally cross the line into calling it good, invoking the gods smite you down for your arrogance. There's a world of difference between "I think this part really worked for me" and "I think this is the best thing anyone has ever arted and I'm hella deep". People are not gonna silently judge your for the former. ..having said that, check out this birb that's the best thing anyone has ever arted, because I'm hella deep.
