hmm the main issue is the skinny stairs/balcony as well as the way the door opens up right in front of a pillar
maybe either move the door and reposition the stairs, or move the pillars around so they aren't making awkward walking spaces

the construction in your 3d doesn't really seem to follow with what you have in the painting. look at the bases of the pillars, they're very skewed

You literally changed everything. You have the same things (except the 4th pillar) in your painting, but none of them are proportional or placed accordingly to the render. Most obvious would be to point out how much larger the door opening is.
[QUOTE=Sprockethead;47835858]well ive been drawing since forever, im badly out of practice though.[/QUOTE]
I'd say real things from reference are the best way to get back into the swing. The way I see it with drawing is - if you can't get something looking like the real thing from reference, how can you hope to truly put what's in your head into a picture? You can luck a good picture out or work on it long enough until it looks good, but even if it looks good, if it's not exactly how you saw it in your head when you started then it's not what you wanted and there's a gap in your ability.
Not really directed at you specifically, it's just in general a lot of people seem to think drawing from imagination is easier than producing an accurate picture from reference. If it's easier, you're doing it wrong.
Another shuttle flyer Wip. Tried something different this time.

the arm branch things are kinda weird looking. Like, they look stiff, which is good for a tree creature, but they're also very awkward looking, and not in a very good way.
Also, the light coming from between those trees is too defined compared to everything else.
thank you, but what do you mean by too defined? as like, the ray of light, itself?
[QUOTE=dnqboy;47839746]thank you, but what do you mean by too defined? as like, the ray of light, itself?[/QUOTE]
What I mean is, look at the light being shined on the tree and the tree person's leaves, and how the colors have a smooth transition. The light being shined on in the ground front of the gap doesn't really have that, and neither do the bushes near that area
Basically, when I say defined, I mean the shading doesn't have much of a transition.

The bricks look jarringly weird, but I'm not sure why, probably since I'm not a painter.
The wall off to the side seems pretty bland too, in all honesty. But I can forgive that, since most house walls look like that.
edit: the bricks on top I mean
i drew Jax from League of Legends

Yeah I thought I might have angled them too harshley, but they match up with the perspective of everything else, so I'm not really sure what's wrong with them. And yes, the wall is just what my wall looks like, not much I could do there l. Thanks for the crit.

This is pretty well done, your choice of composition is just baffling though lol
also lose the noise on the curtain, and the bricks are a bit suspect as blazed said
really great that you're working from life
[QUOTE=Reno360;47811126]Did ya make it out of a file? I heard those make great blanks.[/QUOTE]
yea, I wish i could of gotten a better bevel on the blade, but working on a file much easier than hammering out a piece of steel. the only hammering i did was point it upwards and shape the tang.

im not sure of its purpose, as of yet, just a regular knife for now.

Yeh, composition wasn't a focus for me with this, I mostly just wanted to study the materials, but I get what your saying anyway. I think I might just re-do the curtain at some point, its made of this perforated material that i really struggled to paint.
And thanks btw.
Pretty happy with this. 1 hour painting from imagination.

I like the style, might I recommend trying thick black shadows with no shading ala jhonen vasquez (The guy behind Invader Zim)
I'd recommend his comic "Johnny the Homicidle Maniac" which he did before Zim as his charcters have a similiar look to this. Throw me a PM for more feedback and junk.

that's actually the style I started out with. I'll try going back to it, now that I improved. Thanks.

the one on the left looks great, right seems like it needs to be a bit more refined. a lot of the brushwork seems to muddy the big bone(?) guy and the weird red rimlight makes it feel a bit flat. those big bloody stone things in the fg look really nice though.
