[QUOTE=kirederf7;47028766]Talent is a joke, it's mostly all about hard work.[/QUOTE]
Talent is downright offensive (but if you get angry about it you do look like a bit of a knob because people use the word in ignorance rather than malice)
It's all about hard work. Some people are more adept at thinking creatively, but if you don't put in the work no amount of natural aptitude will help you
i dunno i got good at like all music stuff pretty much instantly with barely any work at all. didn't apply to drawing though
also if you believe you're naturally good at something you'll work harder to live up to it
I'm sure you're a god

i decided to nitpick the lighting in this because it bothered me and i wanted to procrastinate
hope you donut mind my scribbles

i believe a portion of the inside of the cape on the far right side should be lit up as well but i couldn't figure out where based on the lightsource(s)

I have to be honest, I feel like this is taking it too far
If you strive for this level of perfectionism in every piece of art you will literally get nothing done
not true, you just keep it in mind for later pieces.
while you might not be able to fix all mistakes in your piece, it's good to be aware of them so you can point out mistakes on your own eventually.
who cares about the light source, it looks good. isn't that what art is about?
You need to understand light and color before you can break the rules.
Late night fun from imagination.

Designed the logo for my command (Military), just got the T-shirts in. The changes were done thru vote by the committee which was extremely frustrating, as they would vote and demand a change and then not like that change once I made it so, realizing their idea was shit. All in all I think it looked goo in the end and I'm quite proud of it.

Thank you very much for taking so much time to do this! I'll be sure to think about the way light works more carefully from now on, I ought to do some studies
[QUOTE=Detlef;47028685]not true, it just takes more practice than you think.[/QUOTE]
Speaking of practice,I stumbled onto [url=http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php/870-Journey-of-an-Absolute-Rookie-Paintings-and-Sketches/]this[/url] and it's pretty inspiring
I highly suggest going through that entire thread,you get to see how much a person can improve with passion and some hard work
made some kind of wallpaper with my name on it (took some underwaterscape photo off somewhere)

LOL it was way overcomplicated for a logo even in the first revision, that end result is hilarious
[QUOTE=Bobie;47031181]who cares about the light source, it looks good. isn't that what art is about?[/QUOTE]
You'll find that a "good" piece can become "great" or "magnificent" by knowing fundamentals. Light would be the most important one to know, aesthetically speaking.
You can see this when people post some good art in here and then someone else makes quick mockup explaining how it could be improved, and the sloppy fixup is 10x better.
[QUOTE=Bynine;47032710]Thank you very much for taking so much time to do this! I'll be sure to think about the way light works more carefully from now on, I ought to do some studies[/QUOTE]
it didn't even take me 10 minutes so i didn't get to procrastinate as much as i wanted to tbh. i just screenshotted it with sharex then used the annotation tool to scribble on it.
lighting/shadows is pretty much the only thing i ever bothered studying when i did art, so whenever i see artwork my eyes p much instantly gravitate to any inconsistencies (which is admittedly annoying when you just want to enjoy looking at art). after you've done it enough times fixing/spotting this stuff doesn't really take any time at all and vastly improves the overall work so it's totes worth it imo

I already know you're good at arte :v:
I'm posting that for everyone else that aren't very confident in what they can do
So I've just started a Motion Graphics module. They told us to do simple and not do fancy - I think it's because the tutor is upset we'll do better, seriously, she showed us something she put in an exhibition and it was absolute garbage - it could have been done in powerpoint.. Anyways, I'm ignoring her and doing my own thing.
This is what I've got so far, any tips on how I could make it look better?

Less camera shake or try for a smoother natural camera shake. It stutters too quickly like there's a mini-earthquake.
Possibly color correct the eraser so it blends better with the paper background.

I did try to colour correct the eraser, it looked okay to me but I'm probably missing something due to my colour blindness. I was beginning to think the same about the shake; it's starting to make me nauseous. I'll change that right away. What about the bit I just added?

I updated the video, does it look better?

The shake is better.
The paper background has this slight redish/purple hue to it. I feel like it be better off if you toned down those colors.
Something like this

I can barely see the difference.. I would never have noticed if you hadn't mentioned it. I fucking hate being colourblind.
Hi guys me again long story short I started out a piece with a white background (bad of me, I know) and when I changed the background colour my piece looks a tad different;
before; [url]http://puu.sh/feg7t/78fbeb81d1.jpg[/url]
after; [url]http://puu.sh/feg8j/b297f3bc3e.jpg[/url]
Would anyone mind explaining why this happens? I think it's to do with the opacity but I'm not good at trying to explain what I *think* it is, thanks in advance :v
yeah presumably your brushstrokes on the paint layer are not opaque thus the layer beneath it influences the values, like laying baking paper on a white or black surface.

It's cold out and I wish it was warmer. Also, more well-balanced Rox
