I got super addicted to painting animals recently after watching a crap load of wildlife tv shows. Here is my 2 hr session of bears [img]http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/074/7/3/sweet_moment_by_fadingz-d4sw2om.png[/img] I used to hate fur, but now I love it.

[QUOTE=Maya2008;35144919] Here is my 2 hr session of bears [/QUOTE] Quite the 2 hour session I'd say :v: I [I]really[/I] enjoy your work, Maya. The lady by the sea is just amazing. Great work.

These two gals are taking FOREVER! [img]http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/075/6/0/totoro_wip_by_fadingz-d4syrcj.png[/img]
Keep at it, they look great
NYAHAHHH that realism :v: It looks good but is oddly creepy for a Miyazaki character
I would recommend not going crazy with the low opacity brushes, everything looks very messy and muddy right now. I like the girls faces tho, did you have any refs?
I'll run through another zoom in pass with higher opacity later in some area. The ref is my family photo album xD

Her head seems rather straight compared to her tilted body.
done! [img]http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/076/e/4/totoro_by_fadingz-d4t22lh.png[/img]
totoro is still very muddy and messy :[ [editline]16th March 2012[/editline] hoho wait, this isn't the creative work thread [editline]16th March 2012[/editline] got confused there [editline]16th March 2012[/editline] I still think the girls are well done, but yeah, totoro is just a mess.
I'll try to brush the fur.

Sent Totoro to a local hair salon lol [img]http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/076/2/2/totoro_by_fadingz-d4t22lh.png[/img]

You, sir, are an excellent artist. However, I do think that the fur seems a little bit too long and frizzy, maybe give it a shorter appearance? (at least, that's what I got from the movie)
I get that you want people to see your pic, but updating your sketchbook and the creative work thread at the same time is a bit unnecessary, I don't really see the point. maybe save up some pics and have bigger updates in your sketchbook.
the girls look pasted on from another pic probably because you're still painting in tiny sections of full detail and then moving on to the next bit [QUOTE=Detlef;35169586]I get that you want people to see your pic, but updating your sketchbook and the creative work thread at the same time is a bit unnecessary, I don't really see the point. maybe save up some pics and have bigger updates in your sketchbook.[/QUOTE] i don't understand why this bothers you so much all the time. sketchbook is for everything not posted in the other thread like WiPs/stuff you're less happy with/quick studies/sketches etc [editline]17th March 2012[/editline] oh he posted WiPs in there too
It's very easy to see that you specialize in drawing girls, and all of the other stuff lacks. Maybe try to concentrate on some other stuff so the difference isn't that obvious? Try to draw animals and stuff, that would help loads.
that was silly [editline]17th March 2012[/editline] automerge bleh
Last update on this piece [img]http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/076/c/1/totoro_by_fadingz-d4t22lh.png[/img]
I think it's a bit disappointing you didn't try to make the girls look like the actual characters from the movie, refs aren't supposed to be only copied.
Yeah, I still have a long way to go. Thank you all for the comments, they are very helpful!! :]
I realized something... when it comes down to study, copying down the entire picture, I can do just fine. When it comes to an image with no reference, I start to act funny... :( (With the exception of girls and clothing lol)
Hey, if you have no project going on, your art style would work well with something ala HL2 [img]http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090327034961/half-life/en/images/d/dd/Background_plaza.jpg[/img]
