Arbor posted:how many rabbit (or rabbit like creatures) will i stick on one page of a sketchbook? the answer is always going to be "at least one more." Cute! Love the rabbit plush things stacked on top of each other. Al! posted:oh man, i really like the texture of the skin and freckles on that one Thanks.  Making that texture was my favorite part. Something I started working on today. Toshiro Mifune in Snow Trail.

smallmouth posted:Singer Sargent study. I love it. Your brushwork always amazes me. sigma 6 posted:Woah. Very nice. Teach me your ways. Thank you. All I can say is keep practicing! With that particular painting I used the basic round brush for most of it. Then at the end I used a textured brush I downloaded to create the freckles/skin texture. I was also playing around with the mixer tool a bit just to see if I could get a more painterly look, but I don't think it was really successful.Progress. I think I fixed the eyes?

But how does he hold his tea without hands?!? d3c0y2 posted:Wow. This is real nice and pretty much exactly the sort of style I want to end up at one day! Excellent work. Aw, that means a lot. Thank you. I'm calling this done. I was working on it last night when the power shut off in the middle of saving and corrupted my file. I'm too angry to continue.

sigma 6 posted:Looks fantastic! Do you mostly work on a workstation of tablet computer? Actually - for that matter - how many of the people in this thread use something portable like an ipad pro or mobile studio pro vs. non mobile workstation vs. laptop with a plugin tablet? Thank you! I work on my desktop, using a Wacom tablet. I am seriously considering getting a Cintiq though.

Shinmera posted:I like having fixed-width strokes, but I should see how to incorporate several distinct widths into a drawing. I've been doing that every now and again, but haven't been able to figure out a good rule for when to use what kind of width yet. I'm definitely guilty as charged with the sameyness. I've been focusing on curves and edges for so long I kinda lost sight of varying body features. Some of the best advice an artist once gave me is that as a beginner, you should never focus on developing any particular "style." Just learn how to draw from observation, keep practicing, and your own style will naturally develop. That isn't to say you should not try to imitate other artists, because you can definitely learn a lot that way too. But judging from your comments here, I think the reason you haven't developed much is precisely because you've just been concentrating on perfecting this kind of angular line art you've got going on. I actually like your 2013 stuff better, because it looks like you were trying to understand the form of the things you were drawing. That said, I really like this piece. The only thing is the person should stick out more, either with varying line width or color, like Wowporn suggested. Sharpest Crayon posted:Airdrop arts nyeeeeeeeooommmm Love the contour lines. Jake Snake posted:Started something today. Worked on this today.  Does anyone else think it looks like her left hand is detached from her body? Also I'm really worried about that smile coming across as creepy.

TheMostFrench posted:I think she looks quite cheerful, and the hand is good imo, maybe a bit hard to read because her sleeve is so loose it's hard to tell where the forearm begins. Sharpest Crayon posted:In reworking the face, you opened the eyes a bit more and flattened the cheekbones, which makes the smile look a bit fake. A genuine smile pulls the cheeks up and tends to make the eyes squint a bit, especially the lower lids usually pull up. The foreshortening on the arms would look more convincing if you added a wrinkle or two like the one you've got there on the left that would clearly show the division between "this is in front" and "this is behind", currently the left looks like it's just going sideways and the right like it's going down. I'd add a curve to the edge of the cloth on the left to show a bit more wrist and that there's a round tube-object under the cloth that the cloth would not lay flat on. Thanks! Will definitely rework the left hand/arm. Also I see what you mean about the cheekbones and eyes. I'm having this issue where too many lines/shadows are making her look old. Glad you like the palette. I can't take too much credit though, since I mostly work from reference photos. Shinmera posted:Yeah, I followed that advice for many years until I fell down this cliff. The reason I even started on all this is because I got to a point where I vastly preferred some of my drawings over others for reasons beyond the usual objectively quantifiable ones like anatomy. So I tried to figure out what those reasons are; why I preferred some things over others and how I could push myself in that direction. My preferences being hard to grasp and rationalise hasn't made it easy though, and perhaps a return to basics is in order. When you get lost, it's always a good idea to return to the basics. No matter how skilled you are, you're never too good for that. Shinmera posted:I'm glad to hear that! Makes the hours I put into it feel more worth it. As for making the person stick out more, I'm not so sure. The focus of the image (and the series it is a part of) is supposed to be much more on the scenery than the person walking on it. The kind of feeling I'm trying to convey is how imposing nature can be. I suppose making the person stick out more could work if the contrast otherwise was stronger still. I see what you mean. I suppose due to her size or position in the picture, I thought there should've been more focus on her. Maybe take a cue from Chinese landscape painting, and make her a tiny speck on the page. a hole-y ghost posted:need to do more body study stuff grumble grumble: This is really awesome.

d3c0y2 posted:I also spent a lot of time looking at this picture and trying to work out what techniques etc you might have used. So thanks to you too Aww, that's like the best compliment I've ever gotten. Thanks a lot. Wow! Awesome job! These are such a huge improvement from the first piece you posted. Keep going! You'll soon blow me out of the water at this rate. Btw as for the techniques I used: it's nothing special. I just use the basic round brush in Photoshop, but I check the dual brush option to give it more texture. I did use a downloaded brush for the fur collar though. It's mainly all about blocking in the shadows, highlights, and midtones, then gradually shaping them to make them look like whatever you're painting. The colors are great, and I love the thick brush strokes. It gives it almost a creamy texture, like real paint. More progress. I hate fabric.

a hole-y ghost posted:what does dual brush do anyway? I'm just getting into doing funny stuff with Photoshop brushes but mostly have just done stuff in shape dynamics and transfer so far d3c0y2 posted:What is dual brush? I've been using Krita so I'm not sure what it is/whether krita has a similar function It just combines two different brushes into one stroke. You can get some pretty cool textures and patters doing that. Example:  I'm not familiar with Krita, so I'm not sure if it has something similar. I'm sure there are a lot of different types of brushes you could make interesting textures with, and there's probably a way to adjust the spacing/shape/texture/etc. Definitely don't depend on the brush to do the work though. I just like playing with the settings to see how I like the feel of it. Al! posted:im def in a goth phase at the moment It's currently raining outside, and this is perfect.
