I worked on a couple of sketches of foxes from photos, not a whole lot but just brushing up a little since I'm going to be working on a short comic featuring a fox as the main character. I meant to do more but my bf is making me watch a movie :v:

[QUOTE=Maya2008;44228656]Yes, I have much to learn with coloring yet, I can render fine in black and white, but when it comes to choosing color palette, I'm still a mess... D:[/QUOTE]
Studying a bit if color theory can help! For my skin tone on the portrait above I used a lot of oranges and greens, mixed together for a vibrant tone. Starting with the middle ground of a skin tone and then just adding tints and shades makes the piece loose warmth. Experiment with different colors that you can sublty move into your tone and shading.
Drew this on my girlfriend's hand a couple weeks ago in art class, as soon as I finished it she was ordered to wash it off by the teacher.

The face proportions seem kinda wonky to me, almost a bit like a caricature the way the lower part of the face is exaggerated in size?
Did a quick overlay in paint with a mouse cause my tablet is like a whole foot away from me and I'd have to get up to get it :v: based on how I learned proportions, the top line is eye height, mid below that bottom of nose, mid below that bottom lip the inner vertical set follows the inner eye corners (which should line up with the outer edges of the nose in most races), and the smaller outer lines following the iris down to the approx edges of the mouth. It seems off that you can't see her ears either on at least one side
Her neck also seems a little thin to me but this is comming from a lass with a significant man-neck so i'd take that with a grain of salt :v:

[QUOTE=normandy;44227664]Hey guys! I just finish my finals, so expect to see more arts. Here's my drawing 101 final, my groovy mug in pastels. I'm on my phone and I won't have internet for a few days, so if somebody could post the image in the link below, I would be forever grateful. Might even doodle something for ya.

Nice work on the hands. Use of value/colour and brushwork fall a bit short for me.
Had a look at your commissions thingy, gotta say I found the same thing there. Your "shaded" style is pretty unpleasent, and your "painterly" looks laboured and underwhelming. Maybe do a master copy or two, look at tonnes of art, use a "style ref" if that helps.. Seems like currently you're working to formulae which don't do your potential justice.

Looks like you might have overdone the highlights and made her look older than she is. Like, late forties at least.
Anatomy in Lilyo's ref and actual piece are due most likely to wide angle lens and camera being positioned lower than the face angled upwards
[QUOTE=Cow Muffins;44230427]Ref: [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/kvQiBEo.jpg[/thumb][/QUOTE]
Ah, must just be the photo angle/lens then fair enough, only real issue I can see is that she has been compressed vertically then. She's all smooshed up thinner than she should be
It still seems weird to me that I can't see her ear even though it obviously shouldn't be there if it isnt :v:
You're also probably going to want to move her eyes farther apart. They seem a bit too close together in the drawing compared to the reference photo.

Still got a lot of work to do
a scene for something bigger I started to write. about 543 words in a little under an hour, which isn't nearly fast enough. I'm trying to hit at least a thousand words per hour.
[quote]Whizzing and crackling filled the air as volleys of bullets streamed towards the Militia's reinforced mud-shack. “Return fire! Return fire dammit!' Bullock commanded as loudly as he could, swinging down from a ledge as rounds slammed into the wall behind him, spraying bits of debris in every direction. He started moving his legs the second his feet made contact with the ground. He spotted the enemy firing on them and returned in kind while sprinting to the dugout Harker had set up in.
“Open up! Chamber! Chamber!,” Harker screamed to his loader, bullets cracking overhead. “Pins loaded! We're hot! Fire! Fire!” the loader screamed back while slamming shut the last latch on the ammo drum. Just as Harker was pulling back the loading crank on the pinspitter Bullock dove in their dugout behind them while spraying lead downrange.
“There's a squad suppressing us behind that low wall! There next to the corner!” Bullock yelled while pointing to a crumbled building a few hundred yards away. “Cut 'em down!”
“On it!” Harker spat back as he pushed himself into the shoulder grips. He gave a warcry as he squeezed the triggers. The pinspitter spooled up, and gave a earsplitting whine as it sent a torrent of razor sharp flechettes towards the enemy position. Within a second the enemy position exploded into a flurry of shrapnel and pink mist as the opposition broke from cover. It was over as soon as it began. The only thing left was a could of smoke and a pile of shredded bodies. “Spin down! Get me a new drum!” Harker yelled as he swung the pinspitter upwards, smoke pouring from the slow spinning barrels. The loader scrambled for a new ammo drum as Bullock moved to the front of the dugout, leaning over the sandbag wall with his gun drawn. “See anything?” Harker asked while fixing the spitter's sights.
“No, not yet. That can't be the last of them,” Bullock said while staring down the scope of his rifle. Scanning the surrounding ruins for more enemy units. It was too unusual to be attacked by a single squad like that. “Pull that thing up, we're going on a hunt.” He swung his gun over his shoulder and looked down to Harker, who had the widest grin he's ever seen.
“Load up baggage boy, we're going mobile!” he said while slapping his loader on the back.
“Ah, great, great,” the loader responded, out of breath, struggling with a pack of ammo.
“Come on boy. My grandmother could haul more than that with no problem” Harker said with a laugh. The loader looked at him funny and shook his head. “What? Don't believe me?” He shot a look to Bullock who was already climbing out of the dugout. “You know my granny, eh Bullock?” the loader looked at Bullock in confusion.
“Second Lieutenant Sherry Harker. The apple really doesn’t fall that far from the tree does sit?” Bullock said straight faced.
Harker bellowed as he swung the massive six foot machine gun up over onto his shoulder with one arm. “Nope.” The loader couldn't help but laugh as they climbed out and began to move from their position.[/quote]

You'll benefit a lot from doing a mirror flip on this, just left right flip it occasionally so you can spot inconsistencies and things. First thing I see is his chin is lop sided, you'll spot that right off

I remember why you put it there, but it doesn't achieve anything (except making that area awkward)
The highlighted tendon-looking part on the neck is why the head has thrust. You've not nullified that with that random black shape, you've highlighted it by putting a strong perpendicular angle to it and made it a minor focal point with the high contrast right there.

3 pixel brush the shit out of the hair.
Update of the day. Off to bed again.
Your main problem is that your shadows are very desaturated. You want to push part of her towards us to create a sense of volume. Her right side should be swinging backwards but if both the saturation and sharpness is the same throughout it will flatten her.

Entirely unrelated to art skill because your already well past where I would be able to make any comment she is starting to look less elsa-ey now you've pulled so much of the hair out of her braid up top, looks much better in the rough version before this
The volumes in the hair look ace, but I agree, could use more saturation in shadows, and try pushing the dark areas a bit harder as well. More contrast is generally good to make a strong overall look, especially since you have some darker areas in the background of the image.
