[QUOTE=Eonart;36379300][URL="https://sites.google.com/site/4chanic/training-tutorials"]What about this?[/URL][/QUOTE]
Looks great, go for it.
[QUOTE=Xephio;36379912]half of the time i have F.lux open (which is a warm filter thingy for your screen that also lowers brightness) and when i turn it off i suddenly start seeing things in paintings what i wouldnt have seen with flux on
very annoying too when doing colour sensitive work

gonna try doing some speedy different new kinds of things like suggested :d[/QUOTE]
The angle the people are pulling from relative to the position of the legs is going to simply be adding to the downwards gravitational force acting on the robot; they're more or less underneath it. I'd move 'em closer to the camera a bit
And explore how fire would interact with something that big. Look at industrial fires, etc
Also look at ways of making the bot seem further away from us. Maybe some burnt-out trees in the foreground, more detail on the bot, etc. I think resolving the flame issue will also help the depth issue

Welp, that's good to know.
Thanks for the input
Today I drew a face.

I like it
It's quite like the Mirror's Edge style
I don't have ME but from what I've seen it reminds me of it
Reminds me of Mass Effect in every way possible, it's good.

Love the floating text on the clock there.
I've never played mass effect so I've no idea what it looks like, was thinking more Koichi Mugitani but I think i missed the mark tho.

still, I learnt a few things from it.

This is mass effect's style:

You even got the bloom amount right

well fuck me with a chicken and call me Steve, I'm gonna need a bigger tin foil hat.
The game even has floating text very similar to what's in yours.

From Mass Effect's design of Earth.
we could post pictures of games and films with shiny billboards, floating text, and white and chrome buildings for 15 pages
been messing around with screen brightness hopfully this looks smoother than before, if you see any grey on the visor could you give me a yell
[t]http://i.imgur.com/WEW6x.png[/t]
it's getting a lot blurrier too
like i said, stay away from soft brushes. the values are getting much better though so well done on that. they can still go a lot further though. here it is in bnw:
[t]http://filesmelt.com/dl/bwbobba.jpg[/t]
your brightest value is this, with pure white shown in the middle:
[t]http://filesmelt.com/dl/brightestvalue.jpg[/t]
it could go a lot further really. the shadows too. the eye reads images better when there is a nice big range of value. that doesn't mean to say that all of your shadows need to be really really dark and all of your highlights really really bright, but there should, generally speaking, be a pretty strong range (at least for realistically/semi-realistically painted pieces)
here i've just messed with the levels quickly to give you an idea of how far it could go:
[t]http://filesmelt.com/dl/maybemorelikethis2.jpg[/t]
perhaps even further. how far you go depends largely on what your light-source is like and the environment the object is in (for example, if lit by a single light in a dark room, the shadows would be much darker)
i'd say it might be time to move on to a new piece but, for the future, remember to push things further and always check your picture occasionally in black and white
and remember to stay away from soft brushes! they really don't do much good except maybe for some finishing touches
will do , thanks for the tips its really helped a lot.
When i sometimes plug in my tablet there is something wrong with it.
When i move my pen up, the mouse-pointer goes down and vice versa. Same goes with left and right, the movement is inverted. How do i fix this? Is this a glitch?
I dont know any better place to ask this, i thought you guys might have experienced the same thing.
Edit:
And dont tell me i need to turn the tablet, because i always use it the same direction every time. Does it change from left handed to right handed on its own?

(but just so you know this thread is for people showing off their own work, no matter how what kind of cool stuff their parents come up with!)
He could forward CC to his mum if she's up for that.
I guess I need to start posting my (WIP) work (which I'll never finish) here, for C&C and stuff..
[t]http://u.cubeupload.com/Akasori/wuwbubw.jpg[/t]
This is just a quick sketch and [url=http://u.cubeupload.com/Akasori/wuwbubp.jpg]I've already started painting a little[/url].
So, um. Help me.
[editline]18th June 2012[/editline]
I posted the sketch on white background but I prefer it [url=http://u.cubeupload.com/Akasori/wuwbub.jpg]much darker[/url].
I did this because this page is pretty white.
[QUOTE=dgg;36378762]Doesn't matter what the DPI is. What matters is what the resolution is. The DPI can be changed at any time without affecting the resolution, it will only affect the print size.
Classic example of someone that doesn't understand DPI.
[img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3655193/howdpiworks.jpg[/img]
So, as you can see, a document size of 2048 equals 17,34 centimeters of printing size on paper with 300 dpi which assures you the best print quality (any higher and it's not visible to your eye). But 240 dpi which camera images leave as a standard works just as well, should you need it bigger but don't want to make it bigger.
With a 72 dpi, which is taught as "screen friendly" your print will look like utter shit since the whole image is stretched out to 72,25 centimeters of paper print. Which is horribly overblown.
Now then, so why are we taught that you only need 72 dpi for screen and 300 for print? Well, first of all it's because they don't understand what DPI actually does. However, what they really mean is that when you already have an image at 300 or 240 dpi, you can change it to 72dpi in the "image size" window and it will scale down the resolution to the point where 72dpi will print just as large as it would when you had it at 300dpi, which means it will become much smaller since 72dpi prints out much larger.
But wait, how do I change the DPI like you are talking about without changing the resolution? Set the DPI with the crop tool.
And for those who don't know. DPI stands for Dots Per Inch. It's how many dots of colours your printer uses on each inch to print out your image. So obviously more dots needs more pixels which needs higher resolutions.
PPI stands for pixels per inch, but that's never really used since it's irrelevant to printing and on monitors we know the resolutions and we just make what fits.[/QUOTE]
thank god someone else understands this
probably one of my biggest pet peeves is when people argue that something needs to be X dpi when you're giving them a digital copy of something

Realistically if you're providing an image to a client (or print admin), you should be making sure it's at the correct size and DPI. With some printers they require that the image file is set to the correct physical dimensions.
Going to give the art work a go again after a long break, still feel like there is. Lot to learn but no guidelines. Also what program do you guys suggest to use for drawing on Linux? Don't tell me GIMP. I think it is very confusing to use, or maybe I just need to learn it?
