Creative Work That Doesn't Deserve A Thread V6 <3v3ryb0dy Hypocrite Critiques Edition> - General

[QUOTE=jenny7332;28752909]Uhh like, there isn't s full spectrum of tones in there? The highlights and shadows don't gel sort of like an old black and white photograph.[/QUOTE] Might be due to the overly contrasted photograph. I'll take everything that has been said into consideration and see how things come out on the proper hi-res scan.

[img]http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/081/7/f/einsteinen_by_shether-d3c8zco.jpg[/img] I thought I should try my hand at realism for the sake of alternation. Tell me what should be fixed before moving on. Here's the reference: [img]http://www.superhappiness.com/albert-einstein.jpg[/img] There's something bugging me about the expression..

The eyes are too wide, he has a bit of a gaze in the original, in yours he seems to be focusing on something above the viewer. Pupils are too small.

I want to harvest his brain...

i never noticed how cartoony einstein looks

Donating all my paintings to charity through my AP teacher Maybe I can trade them off for some of my work back :v:

[editline]23rd March 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=ChestyMcGee;28749499]I finished the portrait of my grandad: [img_thumb]http://img576.imageshack.us/img576/3355/portraito.jpg[/img_thumb] I'm tempted to shade in some sort of background so that the highlights of the hair and skin are distinguishable from the paper (it is more apparent when viewed physically, but a background would still be handy). I'll get my dad to take it into work and get a properly cleaned up, ridiculously hi-res scan of it soon too.[/QUOTE] That shirt is bangin brah. did you use a photo as a reference or are u just hella pro or what?

Took 3v3ryb0dy's advice and I'm deciding to try and use only pencil and paper for the next few weeks. If any of you can even SEE what I'm trying to show then, first of all you have good eyes, second of all it'd be appreciated for any tips and help you could provide. [media]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8702336/blugh.jpg[/media] I already asked someone else and I got that I should stop using only tubes to construct during sketching. [quote] The Vman: Biggest problem is that a lot of your forms are still just big old tubes, you need to keep working on adding more form to them. Enhanced_AI: like, the legs and arms an such or just everything The Vman: everything Enhanced_AI: So when you say form what exactly do you mean, Like more... curves or- The Vman: Just making them more shapely, they just feel like they are made of tubes. The old guy with the mustache, big old tube. Most people don't have perfectly flat torsos, there might be a bit of a bulge in the belly or chest, depending on how he's carrying himself. His neck's also kinda weird and tube-y aswell. Enhanced_AI: so use more shapes when constructing instead of tubes, make shit more- The Vman: Yea, circles work for me. Building stuff out of circles can be fun, and if you want try using boxes. [/quote] Gonna keep trying at it, can't very well improve much without feedback from others, so that's why i'm showing.

Kay, about photoediting. It's useful to mess about with the curves in photo editing program to get the pencil lines more to show. In your case make highlights and lights bit lower and increase shadows and such. You don't want the darker areas to be too much showing and lighter areas to be too bright. It's just matter of messing around until you like it. For such sketching I suggest using softer pencils starting from 2b or so. You need to focus more on the forms you see and drawing out the slight changes of contour induced by muscles. Also to try and get proportions right use your pencil to measure. Just put it against the screen and see what kind of proportions do different bodyparts have with eachother. I usually measure lenght in heads and faces or such. Keep a proportion chart open in a separate tab or something. Also try using skeletons, you seem to forget the ribcage entierly. this one seems to do something [url]http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&q=human+tutorial#/d1c3pxr[/url]

I'd rate you friendly more then once if I could, thank ye very much. [editline]0[/editline] After following those chest basics I guess I [B]was[/B] missing the guy's entire fucking ribcage, jeez

also don't make them all to clean, leafve some building lines in.

:whoptc: looks really cool and original

Got a poem back from my teacher after a year, so here goes nothing. P.S. Prepare a dictionary. [sp]It's not the big words I'm worried about, it's the alternate definitions I'm worried about.[/sp] [quote][b]The Fantasy[/b] All is well at town Civility at raw The bell rings And thus, a new fantasy begins The momentous day had begun Bustling crowds had entered town square Merchants gave out bays as people passed by Every frown were to turn into smiles Soon, calamity fell upon them Souls were lost and minds crippled They could only flee from the insanity that was to come Eventually, someone will have to bind the town back to its peaceful state A hero will rise to challenge the demon A few words pass as they prepare their stance Both wise and harsh, both steady and impatient Before the trance of fight comes in An authority more ready comes to bring down the situation And thus the flight of this fantasy has come to an end[/quote] Sometimes, I wondered what I was smoking when wrote this. Sometimes, I wondered what my teacher was smoking when she made it a consolation for her poetry contest [sp][/sarcasm][/sp] If you don't understand the poem: [sp]Inspired by final fantasy, is actually about school recess[/sp] [editline]23rd March 2011[/editline] Also, I got my ketchup poem back from my teacher. :downs: It was a B-, and it didn't grant extra credit for my english mocks. Could have gotten an A on my english if it did.

[QUOTE=Mr_Razzums;28760678]That shirt is bangin brah. did you use a photo as a reference or are u just hella pro or what?[/QUOTE] Gracias. I did some life-drawing of the man first, to fully understand the shapes in three-dimensions, there in the flesh. Then I took a photograph before I left and drew the portrait from that: [url]http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/073/8/9/grandad_by_chestymcgee-d3bmz4c.jpg[/url]

[img]http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a345/ajackss/roomss2-1.jpg?t=1300895274[/img] Still much to do but I'm insanely happy with what I've got done so far, it's really feeling like a home. Now I cant wait to start decorating the walls. I figured creative is suitable for this stuff since I did put quite a bit of creative energy into this so far.

Looks cozy as fuck. I get top bunk!

looks very nice, I'd like to live there c:

Thanks guys and to top it all off I even went all out for a wicked lock, this is from the outside of the door (ignore the nasty paint, I refinished the door and just left a coat of primer on the outside as the hallway is going to be painted soon) [img_thumb]http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a345/ajackss/lock.jpg?t=1300894177[/img_thumb] The combination code is 1337 :3: Oh yeah, and now that my room is secure from prying nephews I can finally build and put up my "In case of zombies break glass" red wall case with actual Mossberg 590A1 loaded shotgun! I'm stoked.

[QUOTE=red_pharoah;28765134]I want that gun.[/QUOTE] which one, exacly? Nice room, actually. But don't you need a gun safe in ameristates of awesome?

Nope, any trigger lock will do. Actually most states don't even require that.

[QUOTE=3v3ryb0dy;28765206]which one, exacly? Nice room, actually. But don't you need a gun safe in ameristates of awesome?[/QUOTE] Nope, and in essence my room is a gun-safe, complete with numeric keypad entry. [editline]23rd March 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=nox;28765253]Nope, any trigger lock will do.[/QUOTE] Not even required here in Indiana. Anyways, in regards to the pistol, I've got a lifetime concealed carry license (not that I would actually ever carry)

[QUOTE=3v3ryb0dy;28765206]which one, exacly? Nice room, actually. But don't you need a gun safe in ameristates of awesome?[/QUOTE] I didn't even notice the pistol.

Hang them against your wall. It's a nice awesome touch

it's not no average citizen should own a gun unless they're a farmer or a cop but that's a discussion for another thread

You're just jelly cause of your nazi colony you live in.

Target shooting is fun, period. Especially when you're speed shooting multiple zombie targets with a friend as backup. That's all I'll say on the matter.
