[QUOTE=Mad.Hatter;42708484][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/40vK9srl.jpg[/IMG] Tried carving a pumpkin to look like a chaos helmet. First time carving something other then a genertic jack-o-lantern[/QUOTE] Why is it so adorable
A couple refined sketches of two silly looking guys. [IMG]http://th06.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2013/304/3/e/refined_sketches_by_imtth-d6skc2e.png[/IMG]
I'm gonna add a castle at the end of the valley, what do you guys think so far? I also wanna add like sun rays but I dunno how to get a smooth effect, using low flow and opacity with a soft brush doesn't feel right [IMG]http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/6989/xx6a.jpg[/IMG]

I'd say you should start thinking about blocking in that castle with some larger brushes.After that i think the next step is to start putting in some variation of colour and adding some detail. Thing is, if you want to draw a grassy hill, you don't need to draw every blade of grass. Try and add details- but manage them well. Put them in places where it will count. [editline]][/editline] Oh! One more thing. Bring up the contrast closer to the viewer! If we were to actually look at a landscape, the things closer to us would have more vivid lights and darks. Right now most of your contrast is in the midground, which feels a little unnatural. In other news, here is my latest painting. Its trying to meet the narrative/storytelling painting requirement for my college portfolio. [img]http://i.imgur.com/Nd3HdAJ.png[/img] Comments and criticism please!

Are those clouds photoshoped in? Also the mountains in the back should be less saturated
here's another drawing of that character I designed yesterday, I'm trying to get better at drawing more dynamic poses [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/tpu8iqE.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/xKwGsif.png[/IMG]
i like that pose apart from the thumb sticking out, it should be a bit less sticky-outy [editline]1st November 2013[/editline] hold your hand in that semi-relaxed pose and see

[QUOTE=MakoSkyDub;42728702]I think you should use a ref[/QUOTE] why does everyone keep telling me that -.- it's referenced, all of my drawings are referenced i wouldn't be able to do something like that on my own, I've only recently started drawing as I mentioned before [t]http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR0ItBE4Tqn9eetcwS33LFFpkadbvP0PrWYDNBgjWNZIi07cZpdPg[/t]

Try to paint exactly what you see in the photo rather than a representation, your using a very loose painting style at the moment, which can work fine but isnt always the best for learning, you theoretically should be trying to make it look more like the reference :)
Or indeed if your ref'd pieces look unreferenced, it might mean that you should be drawing cylinders and shit like that preparatory to more challenging stuff :v:

For real though, draw what you see, not what you think you see.
thanks guys, you are all I need to improve :) I'll keep you updated on how this drawing ends up

Inspired from movie.. Only colored the first panel so far.. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/3aEHS8j.jpg[/IMG]
You probably don't need that many frames, 3 or 4 would be enough Reducing the amount of frames would also mean less repeated artwork since you've copy-pasted most of the artwork for every frame. Things look pretty stiff too, kind of like those bitstrip things except hand drawn

you missed the photography section the post processing on the second one is nice
