Thread 7661035

Welcome to /INT/ - Intermediate Draw!
Please post in this thread if you're above /beg/ beginner but not yet ready for the big boys' club in the advanced draw thread.

Try to reflect upon your art and what you could improve upon. Be self-critical!

the Dunning-Kruger Effect:
Dunning-Kruger effect, in psychology, is a cognitive bias whereby people with limited knowledge or competence in a given intellectual or social domain greatly overestimate their own knowledge or competence in that domain relative to objective criteria or to the performance of their peers or of people in general.

Essentially, the Dunning Kruger effect explains why incompetent people are unable to see that they’re incompetent.

I usualy draw only in monochrome because I suffer a ton with coloring, i do want to get better at coloring but im stuck at it right now

ok so where's /pro/ ?

>>7661172
in your hands

>>7661172
When we have enough pros posting here we'll make them a thread. Until then they can post in here too.

>>7661035 (OP)
>splitting /int/ and /beg/ again
I'm beg and I will be posting all my work here constantly. Get fucked OP. I will also be posting my /beg/ knowledge critiques on anything /int/

idk why you made another one but enjoy more clearly /beg/ shit retard
*hides thread*

hiiiiiiiiii p sure im not beg

any crit?

Hi

Heh. I posted last thread to see if I could get OP two times in a row and I did. I don't know why OP likes my art so much but thanks.

>>7661311
>>7658757

wip

>>7661433
I can dig this

>>7661172
>/pro/

going to skip /adv/? If anything there might be a handful shitting around here wondering why people don't like their art.

no show
only tell
[minimum viable post]

I had so much fun doing this it's unreal

>>7661172
there are lots in the /draw/ thread but theres also begs posting in it for some reason.

>>7661716
Glad you enjoyed it! Looks good!

>>7661716
I saw your uncolored drawing in the last thread and have been looking for this. Nicely done.

Who is it? (Not saying it's not a good likeness, I just haven't seen her before.)

>>7661410
She has a cute face and lively eyes, but you should double-check that the centerline of her nasal dorsum follows on properly from that of her glabella-radix area: currently, the shading in the middle of her upper face makes it look as if the features in question were misaligned.

As a tip, consider that the glabella-radix area is essentially a trapezoidal/triangular prism (of varying dimensions and depth), with the edges of its frontal plane linking the inner corners of the eyebrows with the nasal bridge:

Apart from that, since being cautious doesn't hurt, I would also recommend that you flip your canvas, and then proceed to rotate it until the face of your character is more or less in an upright position: that way, it will be easier for you to correct any other potential asymmetries that might have gone unnoticed.

Lastly, I suggest that you reduce somewhat the thickness of your character's neck: besides making her head look smaller, it doesn't really appear to match her body type.

tree fixed and I took some of the composition feed back
still looks amateurish for a piece I tried to make look polished and I cant point out why
any feedback?

i dont think im /beg/
heres a tribute i did to ozzy when he passed, any feedback would be awesome! My first time trying this particular style too

Tablet: Huion Kamvas 13
Software: Sai2

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/FgGuTkP2bz8
I got a macro lens for my show.

>>7662599
Colours are cool bu he looks like a 40 year old lesbian.
Tribute art is basically the same as trying to farm FOTM characters for likes on social media, nice signature by the way.

>>7661035 (OP)
Recent life stuff

>>7662192
Maybe invest more intention and time into the tree? The ends of the branches seem like second thought. The back base of it as well. Like it's not actually rooted into the ground there.
The darkness and saturation of the red at his foot, maybe you could have the same or similar value at his very low back/bum? Might also help him feel more rooted and weighed down to the ground.
>>7662599
I had no idea he passed. RIP.
The shape of his face is nice and evocative but maybe his eyes are a tad soft in expression/shape.
Beautiful colours.

>>7662599
This looks great but I think the glasses contribute to that lesbian look the other anon was talking about. I saw pics of him with circular shades on. I think you should’ve done that since it gives him more character. Dope signature and colors

>>7662856
How do I make it look more rooted, why does it feel like its not rooted ?

>>7662901
The heavier value for colour and then this area not 100% looking like it's actually part of the ground/interacting with each other?
I can try and give an example later.

>>7662884
>>7662636
I think he nailed it. Ozzy did look like an old lesbian in his later years

>>7662924
I was kinda going for snow piling around the roots but I totally see how that makes it look flat with the poor execution
any other comments aside from the tree? are these things the biggest things that stood out?

>>7662927
I think he nailed it too honestly, I just see why the other anon said what they said. I guess two things can be true at once haha

>>7662924
any better

>>7663055
I tried again but it kinda of looks weird like the tree turning to snow

>>7662856
now?

>>7662934
that's what I noticed/thought of the most, that and his back area
>>7663055
nice
>>7663065
even better
>>7663142
looking good
might work on the top part of the tree some and I think you'd be pretty solid

How is this painting i did

So how is it looking?

>>7661748
I agree, turned out okay.
>>7661765
Felicity Jones, she has very cute teeth imo.

Did like some female bucaneer type character.

>>7661035 (OP)
I have to tackle more instances where I can hatch more, I kinda like more this than full color rendering...

>>7663191
ngl I liked this outcome a lot

>>7663720
I like how you did her hair.
>>7664968
Crosshatching is always a ton of fun.

>>7665021
Getting better but you should try erasing the lines you put around highlights. Or at least make them with skin color instead of black pencils, that might look cool.

lay into me eye see

>>7666149
Morrissey is a Neanderthal??

Alrighty

>>7665033
You're absolutely right. I didn't catch it up until I scanned it. I'll make a better effort next time.

>>7666149
I think your next practice should be a limited value study, like 3-4 values, with a hard brush. No blending.

>>7666553

Sunday is Drawpile Day, Paisanos. Don't be shy!

alright, sweet. thank you

1 hr painting

>>7666553
This is it

>Decide to color in black & white first since apparently it's easier to control values this way
>Comes out... Not too bad?
>Go to slap some colors on it
>Looks completely fucked and muddy
Man what the hell. I ain't even posting that shit because it would mean having to look at it and it just upsets me.

>>7667826
I'm at this point too. Frustrating but we'll get past it.

>>7667827
I really hope so. It totally killed my motivation today and I'm tempted to go back to the usual color method I've been doing but I know I won't improve if I keep doing it my way. Real pain in the ass, wish there were properly tutorials for this kind of technique beyond speedpaints.

>>7667826
When doing Grisaille, I usually add an overlay layer at 15% opacity to make the colors more vibrant. Even with this, I just don't feel like I have enough control over the colors so I rarely use it.

>>7667879
Just gotta keep going and push. You can do it anon.
Some pieces are better than others but over time the better will start to take over the worse.
>>7667922
>overlay
I haven't messed with filters yet but I hear they can help lots especially for rendering.

Anyone else like using random colors on the days where you're just doing some monochrome studies? It adds some nice variety
>>7667763
You need to lay out some vertical lines, your building is tilting

>>7663720
Very nice

>>7667773
Colored

Okay so here it is

>>7667826
Cute fictional story about drawing. How about actually posting a drawing next time instead of larping.

>>7669277
Imagine being so mindbroken by a Himalayan goat herding forum that you think a very logical and realistic story we can all relate to, that isn't self glorifying or even about success, is a larp. That's on you man, better yourself.

>>7669276
Good likeness, but the spotty values hurt the appeal and make it look more like something Napoleon Dynamite would draw.

>>7669276
the pronounced lines of the mouth and around it are the only thing holding it back

I'd keep linework lighter or try to remove lines as much as possible where they aren't needed to suggest the form so it doesn't looks a "harsh" in terms of wrinkles and high contrast dark lines
it would also make the lips feel "softer" if that makes sense

>>7661465
blog please?

I am done studying hands for now. Didn't get much useful critiques, so I will say this, not satisfied with either of these hands. The left one I could not figure out the index finger, and likely should have tried tracing it first to figure out the joint placements, but with this perspective it looks very odd and short compared to the middle finger.

Right one the thumb doesn't feel right at all, though I will admit I started to get a feel for how to construct the fingers better, but still not very good.

Wasn't getting many critiques in general, and does this even belong in /int/? I think I'm between /beg/ and /int/ to be honest.

>>7669693
Think you struggled so much with the likeness in the left hand because you made the pointer nail far far larger and down the finger itself than it is in the ref.
I find it's easier to draw hands from odd foreshorten perspectives etc. if you draw the nails (exactly as they're shown) first. Easier to imagine building up the finger that way.

>>7669693
if you want to truly understand hands, study them from life and not just from photographs.as for crit, I think you should study the hand bones and muscles. Maybe look into Bridgman or other artists that draw hands well and study their approach as well

>>7669693
>I think I'm between /beg/ and /int/ to be honest.
I don't see the effort to be honest.

How is this painting i did

>>7661035 (OP)
Who dis and who drew her?

2hr portrait painting
How is it

>>7669276
Couldn't really figure it out but it's okay, I'll try again.

>>7669381
Thanks dickface
>>7669384
Okay I will

>>7670302
I missed snarky and useless critiques like this. I didn't have time to put immense effort into them and was focusing on constructing them.
>>7670102
>>7670117
These weren't useless however. I'll look into Bridgman when I return to studying hands. Thanks!

Finished this a couple of days ago but got no feedback.
What do you think?

>>7670572
Heads are too circular. Even in PAT the heads are more oval shaped, so stop using the circle tool and start doing your freehand ellipse reps

>>7671237
>so stop using the circle tool
I take that as a compliment because it was freehand made.

>>7670456
Blog?

>>7671255
He's got his name in each filename and on every image.

Okay let's try this

Also new drawing for Coom Vs Loom.

Finished this yesterday, but I'm not too sure about it, expecially the lighting
Any tips?

How do I get used to drawing in huge canvasses and high DPI faster and more effectively? I want to draw manga. I've been drawing on portiona of standard A4 300DPI all my life. I'm not sure why it's so uncomfortable.

>>7671800
How about hard light up front, like flash photography? Also where's the lion's body?

>>7671851
I think the lion is one of those wheel head lions which only have wings

>>7670572
It's weird
Looking at this at first glance you would appear to be early /beg/
But then you look at the hands and feet and they are drawn so well!
You need to study some more artists you like and hone in on that alternative style you are chasing - personally think the big heads could work - i found this pick earlier today that may work as inspiration for the body types you are going for
The frog looks like it's from banjo kazooie

>>7671851
The Lion's body is behind the character, maybe I went too dark in the intersections and it doesn't read too well
I'll try out lighting it from the front, thanks!

>>7671864
That's some good feedback, thank you.
They're characters from an indie puzzle game and I guess I did a poor job in giving them personality by mixing the game's style with my own touch. Not here or there, just meh~

Living and learning...

Well /ic/ I made it, despite my tardiness

>>7671375
I'm just glad it's over

Hi guys cool thread, gonna post a few of my favorites the last couple times ive done studies

>>7672184
last one, don't want to be a spam whore

>>7671864
this is pretty cute
>>7672177
I like this one.

>>7671952
Good job. Just revise the dimensions of the furthermost rim/lens of his glasses so that it's a bit longer and more vertically narrow (making sure that it remains parallel with the other one, while keeping in mind the foreshortening), and round up slightly the overall volume of the hair (so that his cranium feels somewhat taller), and your character bust will be pretty much flawless.

>>7671952
Bro wtf that's my hair and specs. Wtf

I have not done digital much before, and spcially not renders. how do I continue from here?

>>7672372
I'd suggest watching some beginners videos to rendering.

>>7672427
Yeah, I'm thingken we have a new OP image.

>>7669693
Same poster, after drawing hands I decided to move onto skulls, and since I drew two skulls (same reference as you can see) back in 2023, I decided to try again to see how much I've developed.

Note, I didn't do ANY tracing, but I did sometimes overlap the sketch with the reference to check for accuracy. In the future I'll try not to do this so much (and for the cheekbones I did try to figure them out based on their shape and perspective, which I think I pulled off okay enough?)

The main thing I can tell is while the late 23' one is 3d formed and not a symbol like the first 23' one, it looks quite inaccurate and nothing like the skull. However the new one actually does look like the skull reference, so I consider this a success...and yeah the shading I am not too sure about but I think considering my lack of experience it looks okay enough?

Also probably helps I had decent sleep for once last night which may have helped.

>>7672775
Well, the rendering is shitty for starters there are many layers missing of brown, yellow maybe a little red in some places rather than just 2/3 tones of gray.
I'd say combine the first 2023 attempt with the 2025 attempt and apply more roundness to certain places of the skull like the forehead and the back because your style or whatever has become too straight as in too many sharp or rectangular lines that you need to round up a little to get a better form.
>Note, I didn't do ANY tracing
Who cares retard, use it as a tool to get a better understanding of shapes specially when you're doing digital.
I guess it's a better effort this time, but you still have ways to go.

>>7672790
Sucks your attitude is is kinda shitty but I appreciate some of the advice.

I wasn't going for colours though, you seem to be assuming I wanted to colour and shade but that wasn't my intention at all.

>>7672793
>I wasn't going for colours though
I thought so, but I couldn't tell if it was a practice or a finished piece because of your skill. Either way it'll be nice for you to finish your work for a change. Take that into consideration.

>>7672800
Does it matter? It's a sketch. I could have gone for nicer looking lines but maybe one off my next skulls will have lines and look neater.

Oh, mind sharing some of your work? I'm curious to see it.

Is brush economy real? whenever I look at Craig Mullin's paintings, he seem to not give a shit about the amount of brush he use at all and still make it look fantastic.

yjk where I'm going from here

>>7667241
The best technique I was ever told is just to start with the shadow shapes first. All shadows, cast and form, all one tone, all hard edges. Then from here start to soften the edges on form shadows, work back and forth to darken the core shadows, ambient occlusion, and lighten for reflected light.

But by starting with just the shadow shapes, you are making sure that you have a defined light and dark side to avoid the issue in the pic, and you are also thinking about the design of the shadows as you would design anything else, rather than just letting them happen, where things become muddled and unsure.

Here is my art ^_^ im pretty bad at drawing humans lol

>>7673126
Nicely done, love the finish.

>>7672185
you can't post all that and not leave a blog

>>7673113
Hmmm

>>7661433
I see you're still tracing? Why didn't you just jump on the AI promting bandwagon instead?

>>7666553
Do you trace these or eyeball it? If no response, I'll assume the first.

>>7671381
As I thought. As soon as you stop tracing, it blatantly shows how shitty your true skills are.

>>7674582
Because it is more fun

>>7674585
Lmao, it's funny you think that way, I can bet you can't even traditionally, no, in fact I bet you don't even think about drawing. You are a true nodraw.

Just something uggo:)

Started posting on socials after grinding a lot and i honestly hate how i have no traffic, i just gonna try to bang my head against the wall until something cracks, hopefully it'll not be my head

>>7675079
Using social media for popular contest is so 2011. In 2025, it is a dead internet, there's no real people, people are brainwash, programmed to be sterile, content is sterile because the people are sterile, fast and sloppy, that's why tiktok thrive on doomscroll.exe. if you are still trying to farm on sterile npc, I'm afraid they won't be interested. Think of them as people on fentanyl but for the mind. Even some of artists are like this. They are afraid to lose audience.

>>7675179
popularity is realy relative when talking about the internet, what i want is a niche audience that likes what i do, not to be loved by normies that will stab me in the back for saying something they didn't like

>>7675196
You won't be able to find them. They control the algorithm, Google, youtube, even chatgpt. You will have to find them via other means.

>>7675199
what would you recommend then

>>7675205
Destroy the algorithm, slay the dragon, save the girl, save the world. Pretty impossible, but if there's a will there's a way. For all adventures, you need a quest, set your goals, realistic goals, and pick your fights carefully, you can't slay the dragon with a swing, unless you got really lucky, and for a better success rate, get a team who can contribute. Art itself is already an noble pursuit, you are now carrying the cross at the same time. So you got to be really strong. Whatever the fuck that means. Good luck, may the gods and the muses guide you.

>>7675216
oh bother! go suck a cock ya wanker

>>7675222
Why you tripping nigger?
>set goals
>get friends
>go on adventures
>?????
> success! maybe.
For your zoomer mind, may the gods and muses be kind to your wretched soul.

some drawy

should i use a hard or soft brush for rendering cloth / fabric

>>7677425
hard

>>7677427
nah soft is better

>>7677428
Soft is easier, yes.

>>7677429
not really, you don't know what u sayin

>>7677430
Soft is factually easier, yes. If you want to push yourself and grind some, try hard. If you want to just render for fun, go for soft.
It's up to you.

>>7677432
that's true, i just said that so you would elaborate on yo answer

i tried rendering fabric with a hard brush and it's such a pain in the ass to make it look right

i love rendering skin with a hard brush tho

>>7677425
Always use hard around brush, never use chicken scratches, you can add on to my drawing, see what i did, I draw the shapes I like with hard brush.

FEED ME

>>7677444
thanks for the good intention, but it's a personal preference, i like the way mine looks

>>7677446
I understand you more than you think, if you want to be expressive, like truly expressive, there's many ways, I can teach you the secret, or you can find it out yourself, the latter is much better to be honest. @sweetsummerboi, discord if you want it.

>>7677448
will do, babyboy

>>7677452
Stop flirting with me kek, I might summon twomad to do milkshake for you.

>>7677462
i'm down for that, desu

also it's just that this authoritarian vibe you give off is so endearing to me for some reason, it makes me feel kinda silly

>>7677465
can we disable this desu thing, thank you

>>7677465

thsanks, i only use /IC/, didn't knew about that one

>>7675079
you have to network and mingle, not just be a faceless artdropper. interact with other artists, especially lower tiers, help them out and encourage them. be the bigger, better person and you'll get your niche. you have to work for stuff you want, just like you did for your drawings, right? nothing comes from nothing, unless youre some fetishist guy but i guess those guys also network about their fetishes (fetishi?). be outgoing if no ones coming to you. its easier on the net

>>7678478
I went to /beg/ tried to help by redline and grading, I always try to help one /beg/ per thread but they are so arrogant that they not only shit on my redline but they themselves think they don't need help.

>>7671864
awww they're so cute!

>>7675079
How do you expect people to find you and your art?

Wow

Hi guys, tried to light her from behind, should I darken the shadows to make it pop more?
Any advice in general?

can i get crit on this ? specifically on the anatomy

Where do I go frem here?

>>7684111
Study the planes of the head

>>7683144
Definitely darken. Maybe blue/purple overlay? The bg looks like fabric so maybe fix unless intentional

>>7672184
>>7670303
>>7670397
>>7674490
Beautiful art

>>7684111
Where did I go wrong?

i dont do realism that often, howd it turn out? i feel like the shadows may be off in some parts.

>>7683145
Nose looks off, proportionally
The thighs/lower half of the torso all look too short

>>7672184
>>7672185
okay, what do I have to do to become this good?
Only that anon answers, please.
I am already approaching post /beg/, I am plateauing hard, though.

I made it for a friend, i never played the game but even so, i liked how it turned out.

What do u think

Can I get a proportions check before I start cleaning this up?

Yes. But honestly, I prefer the simplicity of my Wacom Intuos Pro.

Zoinks! It's the Phantom of the Lakers!

Question for artists. Do you guys just look for ideas for ocs, do you get inspired by other ocs or characters and apply the "Good artists copy, great artists steal" method or do ideas pop in your head for your work?

I have a boat load of ocs and art from other artists and plan on using them for ideas. Might even plan on looking for more artists to practice or "steal ideas".

I sorta see why they include /int/ in /beg/.

I really need to explore other styles, but I can't help using saturated colors and high contrast, it's just too much fun.

>>7694606
Where did it all go so wrong?

maybe im actually a permabeg.

I'm the same guy who was posting the gohan vs broly picture last week.

i get to a point like this with my drawings where i know that the oozaru looks like shit, and needs an outline, and shading, and i know that i could clean up vegeta's hair, and tien's pants, and i should fix the shenron's antler's and make the frame fit into the rest of the picture instead of being so weird, but i think the reason i don't want to do those things is because from 3 feet away you won't be able to tell the difference anyway. and to do all that would be optimistically like 3 hours of work,

so i guess my question is, do you think you need to finish a drawing completely until you can't improve it anymore, or do you think you should set a time limit and that you shouldn't polish a turd?


should i go back and fix up goku's hair and vegeta's eyes, and draw the fins on the dragon's back better, or just fucking stop wasting my life on this drawing?

serious question.

>>7695103
these fixes won't take you three hours the longer you keep powering through to do them. do not end up in wip hell where youre just constantly making new wips so you never have to draw or finish anything that challenges you.

>>7695103
also no one's looking at it three feet away? they are right up on it on their phones

>>7693579
Looks deep fried, disgusting

>>7664968
Probably because you're dogshit at rendering

>>7695128

>>7695125
No, it will. And I think 3 is optimistic. Might be longer. That's if I don't get any new ideas and if gimo doesn't suddenly decide to merge layers for no reason.

I'm surprised nobody said don't polish the turd. Ic has really changed in the few years I stepped away.

>>7695407
sometimes you do need to polish turds, to understand the whole process and to have no excuses for flaws

>>7696051
Ah nevermind I'm kind of figuring it out

I bought some circle stencil tools to use when inking my sketches and they seem really neat, especially for doing subtle curves

>>7693579
I like it

drawing a character from a tabletop rpg game, what should i improve on other than the obvious (smoothening out rough lines and whatnot)

I honestly like it. It's campy but fun. What I'd do is go back and work on each thing piece by peace to fully flesh it out/finish it.
And forgive me, I don't know their names but have the bald gentleman in the front match the colour palette and light source/shadow of the one behind him. Same for the bust up at the front. As is it feels a bit copy paste like different art pulled and pasted together.
Collages like this can look really cool but I think the colouring on those two specifically are too different than the rest of the idea/painting.
It would bring harmony.

>>7696266
You're on 4chan and you don't know the names of Dragonball characters? That seems very sus. What are you a mossad agent? Fuck even they would know.

>>7696245
Here's 2 more hours.
Mirror finished turdster.

>>7696581
I know the DBZ franchise is super popular especially with hispanic groups but I myself as a kid only read Dragon Ball and played a few of the fighting games. If I'm not sure of the names of the characters, I won't say them. That's all.

How is it

>>7697599
looking good
her neck looks off at the moment but that could because of the stage you're at in the piece

>>7697603
Thanks

I'm in a hospital but the night shift guardian doesn't want me to get my sleep pills, but I can't fall asleep. Also I can't sleep because I've just woke up.

>>7698879
I'm thingken it turned out alright

>>7671952
Blog?

Trying grayscale for the third time, too scared to fuck it up

>>7698880
what do you get from dumping these mediocre portraits?

>>7699896
He's a dadder, they gotta draw everyday. I cant hate for that

>>7699915
you can. art is not a factory job. one should take their time to make it appealing

am i beg or int?

>>7700680
High beg/low int

>>7700680
midbeg at the most

>>7663142
ok its been a while now and this now looks like complete dog shit to me

>>7701262
I fucking love drawing, Avral Lavin is fine too.

>>7697546
working on a new one. suggestions? I'm trying to match some of the concept art i've seen, i'll post a ref replying to this comment.

>>7702305
This style

>>7702183
I like it

>>7702305
a little dark imo. I would locate a light source directly in the middle in the back of the photo, far back in the center of the bamboo. Then add highlights to the backside of Bardock and the motorcycle (and the bamboo) to brighten in up and tie it together with the lighting on Gine.

>>7702305
I forgot to mention. Consider adding more saturated colors to Burdock and the motorcycle. If you look at your reference, all the subjects are brighter/more saturated while the backgrounds are mostly monochromatic. It makes them pop and draws your eye to them. Looks like you already had the right idea with Gine.

Never really posted in this general before. Are background dudes allowed?
Rough colour key WIP I guess? I liked the line drawing better. Boomer grids are fun but I probably should have used 3D

>>7702425
Line drawing in question

>>7702425
love it

>>7702429
thanks :)

>>7702439
of course :) hope to see more of your work

>>7703570
So it happened again

This you lads?

>>7703572
>>7703570
next time maybe try drawing what you see, anon.

>>7703620
that's me

Christ, I cant get to the drawing tires in perspective chapter from Robertson soon enough.

>>7700680
Midbeg if I had to judge, but I commend the dedication to complete drawings.

If I see that something is off from the very start and I don't know how to fix it I just scrap everything and move to the next one.

Is this /int/ or still /beg/? Copied Himukai Toradora and tried to do her manga pose with his style.

>>7704135
some here sre high beg at best but they pretend otherwise. the portrait guy has some serious issues, of thats even him doing it freehand that is. they look artificial

>>7704143
>high beg
Hell yeah we all going to make it

>>7705542
Okay, but where did I go wrong here?

>>7703630
You're right I don't trust my eyes.

>>7661035 (OP)
i’ve gotten into the practice of sculpting 3d models in blender and tracing them. i’m already a decent artist when it comes to sketching and drawing (not so much coloring), but the monotony of drawing an accurate base before being able to clothe or style it was getting to me. i’m hoping to also paint over 3d models to make full illustrations once i’ve gotten more skilled at blender. a la, photobashing

>>7661035 (OP)

where's the /beg/ thread?

>>7706003
here >>7703723

>>7698912
kinda late but @303wv on twitter

>>7706003
Look around you.
It's right here.

>>7703620
Sometimes I wonder if I even know what fundamentals are

What’s up /ic/? First time back to digital painting in nearly a year long hiatus. New to iPad, just testing out as many brushes as possible in procreate to get used to the software.
Any thoughts on the process outlined in pic related? I basically laid in a sketch with a transparent square brush, copied and smudged that, then used a the original layer with a subtract blending mode to get the old guy’s face looking grim. Next I used some opaque painterly brushes to add some warmth back to the head, finally reintroducing the original image underneath to darken it. Any level of finishing you guys think looks better than the others?

Beg didn't help, I was hoping I could get some advice on how to make this more legible. I feel that it's hard to decipher at first glance and I don't know what to do about it.

>>7707393
the knights other leg is missing for one and his body is either too small or his head too big, dunno what youre going for. it might fit the style of this stupid horse gambling crap better. either way, there is size issues with the knight but i do like the motive. you should polish this turd

>>7707407
Thanks, I appreciate it. I couldn't tell after staring at it for too long.

>>7707419
yeah, its better to let a drawing rest for some minutes, get a snack or drink and then look at it again after 10-15 minutes or so.

Posting here cause I didnt get much crit in /beg/. Tried doing a pose from imagination wanted to get some anatomy crit to see if anything looks off, un-proportional, etc

>>7707631
AI generated, that's not what real lines look like

>>7707971
Lmao, I'll bite. what lines specifically makes you think that?

>>7708655
i like your style, reminds me of BRINK and Dishonored, very expressive without being a caricature

>>7707631
Besides the scratchy lines- The arm is bent which means that he should be more bicep dominant (bigger than the tricep) Speaking of the bicep, why is the deltoid inserting in the middle of it? the insertion is behind the bicep near the brachialis- but in your drawing's angle you wouldn't see it, it would just wrap around pic rel (Ignore the red looking up brachialis to make sure I spelled it right and this came up, which kind of looks like your pose)

>>7708655
Looks like that guy from Diablo

>>7708699
Man I wish Brink was better

>>7708699
thanks lol, this wasnt that high effort of a portrait but im glad you liked it
>>7708718
never played, but in my book this is a compliment

>>7702339
ty fren

>>7708655
fixed up some small details, will probably finish working on it now

>>7709962
dear oh dear

Honestly, once you got the theory right. What's the actual best way to click/traing on shading and lighting shapes/surfaces? I'm getting filtered by this not on a theoritical level but more on a pratical one. I exclusively draw with pencils and I'm starting to think that I should get into digital painting for this or buy some charcoal pencils.

>>7710131
coming well together, senpai. it does look better and teh grill being bigger makes sense in a comical way since she represents a horse, right? good job.

>>7710134
Thanks, but this was the extent of what I could do. I especially just guessed for how to handle texturing the armor. If you have any resources or further additions, I'd be glad to see.

>>7710138
check some materials, like earlier berserk style might fit your shading type. keeping it simple works rather well sometimes. efficient.

>>7711323
Okay but how did I go now?

>>7713727
ngl kinda gave up half-way through

i made a doodle

I've redrawn the faces a hundred times but I just can't get them looking good, specifically the little girl, any tips oh wise sages? also just a general sanity check on the pose before I go further, hows the anatomy?
