I'm sorry me and my 24 inch screen can't hear you

Then what are you complaining about? It's well sized. My 21,5 inches thinks it's just fine.
there we go you resized it
[QUOTE=jenny7332;28030741]Have you got any other tips for painting with oil? I'm used to painting with acrylics and I recently started with oil and I'm really really terrible with it. I really can't get any detail in because it's still
wet and just mucks up my colours.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=jenny7332;28031215]What exactly would be an "oil paint style"? Oilpaintings seem to vary in style as much as acrylic paintings do...
Any tips on defining edges without mucking up the gradients? I always add something and then after that you can see the canvas materia show through in white bits which looks kind of awful in this instant- any advice on avoiding that?[/QUOTE]
I mentioned earlier if you'd rather your paints not mix with each other on canvas, use liquin and wait for the paints to dry, then layer on top of that, although I'm not a fan of this method, it is used by a lot of people. What I would prefer doing is using very little solvent(the stuff you mix with your oils to get them nice and wet/clean your brush), and mixing this in with the paint, just enough so it's still thick and not too wet, the more wet your oil is the more it's going to mix with the paint you're painting on, so dryer is better(for layering), not completely dry though. Using that with a small flat brush will allow you to lop pieces of detail onto wet paint on canvas.
As for the white bits of the canvas showing through, it's because you're either not using enough solvent in the beginning, or using too much solvent in general. If you use too much solvent it makes the paint too wet to stick to your canvas, which makes it spread and show pieces of the white canvas, if your brush is too dry, then it wont be enough for the paint to leave the brush and stick to the canvas. Both these "faults" are also techniques n methods to get what you want, for example, thin wet paint that spreads on canvas is good to use as a wash over ur white canvas to get it a certain color, as it will dry a lot faster. While thicker, dryer(less solvent) paint takes more time to dry, so you have more time to mold your details.
So basically start with using more and more solvent in the beginning, and slowly start using less and less solvent as you progress, and your brush size also should start getting smaller for detail.

I'd like to see you define your plane changes in facial structure a lot more. Also you're proportions aren't doing well at all in this piece. Was this reference-less?

3v3rb0dy is most likely busy with school as most of us are like myself. Graphic design is consuming my social life. And by consuming I mean I have a ton of free time :v: .I know all the first year programs already so basically I was waived out of all the print making shit.

Even on my third year, I'm finding my self with a lot of free time fuckin around, if you're good at what you're studying, then doing it is just a leisure stroll. Unless you're in Illustration01, then you're effed.
I have never studied art or graphic design... but I want to study conceptart when I'm done with my media classes
[QUOTE=Detlef;28034868]Yeah it shows doesn't it[/QUOTE]
Yes,
If you wanna get good with drawing reference-less, you should try memory drawing. (Not digitally).
Basically grab a reference photo, and do a pencil n paper drawing of it, within a time limit. Say around 10-15 minutes max. Eventually you'll bring it down to 5. But for now as a start, go with 15. So once you're done the 15 minute drawing, make sure everything looks about right, compare it with the photo, details don't need to be 100% accurate, as long as the proportions and structure seem solid. If it isn't try again with a different photo.
If it is, then get rid of the reference and drawing, and try to draw that same drawing again from memory. Within the same amount of time you did the previous referenced one.
When done, check back to see how you did by comparing with the previous drawing then with the photo, find the mistakes, they'll be a lot more obvious than usual. Keep doing these as exercises all with different references each time, as well as keep decreasing the amount of time spent every once in a while, and eventually you'll be fast and flawless at drawing reference-less.

a thing that is slightly bothering me is that the left side(her right) of her head looks a tad bit smaller.
but I am probably blind and just mistaken
or its some detail which makes that kind of illusion
So me and TrueWolf are thinking about doing a live cast of photoshop and some other programs to teach some of the people here the basics so they don't keep posting utter shit. Do you think anyone would be interested in watching?
i think i should mention that im truewolf, im not sure how many people here actually know that.

and it doesnt have to be only basics

I noticed you'd posted your sketchbook on conceptart.org :v:
We could do a weekly thing like school if people are willing to pay. We can teach you more than a university, that's for damn sure.
Haha, I'm not entirely sure that people would start paying for tuition outside of thr classes theyre already paying for, Onox

Yeah warrior of ruin is a deep story. The title itself has foreshadowing elements. Namely that it's ruin and everything that it touches is bad.

Might I request a redline or a quick paintover?

Lower legs are too short I believe.

It was wrong from the start, I think you should try again and find some handy reference
Well I actually made that (loosely) from reference.

Oh well then i suggest you study the pose a bit better, it looks like the girl in you piece tilts slightly more to the left than the one in the ref, but her legs are still further apart than the one in the ref. I tried sitting like that it didn't feel natural.
Also notice that the knees should be lined somewhere around eachother, now the right leg is much higher up than the left leg for some reason.
