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

[QUOTE=duckboy38;28407971]Today in Visual arts we had some free time so i figured I'd work on this. I was trying to think of an idea for a head, and my friend Trey mentioned this.. [img_thumb]http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5100/5495573940_aa318e42f2_z.jpg[/img_thumb] [img_thumb]http://gyazo.com/bfe019654d80bbaba3e9fd9fe4b431c8.png[/img_thumb] Still thinking of whether i should keep it or not, i like the whole " cartoony " feel that it adds.. BTW: Thank you very very much PLing i'm gonnna fix it right away[/QUOTE] I can see you don't take this serious at all

[QUOTE=duckboy38;28408109]ya, maybe.. do you have any ideas for his face? I was thinking of having it wrapped in some kind of rags and only revealing his eyes[/QUOTE] You would use rags to cover up something "~hard~" to draw. Also someone posted something about how to fix his gimped arm, you should look at it, because his arm is horrible. Also don't make your lines so dark, and also don't even attempt doing one tiny little microscopic piece of shading until you finish. Go through a process of doing a rough sketch (rly light on the pencil bro), then erase and use the ghost image to make even more adjustments, continue doing this until you got a good accurate picture. Then re-draw lines, the closer the object/bodypart the darker it should be, learn how to transition from darker to lighter on the lines from going closer to further (line hierarchy I can't stress this enough). Then if you must incorporate your shitty shading into the picture, do it after you finish your linework. If you are new to drawing and shit, stop shading. Stop. Linework >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ur shit shading. Also stop avoiding drawing hard things with missing appendages, eye patches or armour etc. You won't become pro if you keep avoiding the hard shit. Also stop trying to create your own world until you get a grip on real world perspective. Until you can successfully grasp one and two point perspective, then only then you should be drawing advanced figures like people etc.(in my opinion, I'm sure someone will state that I'm wrong etc.) And even at that, you should look at a model, and then try to draw that ExAcTlY as you see it. on another note, creating a drowring of my own to post here. Gon be a while.

Sorry if you don't like my shitty shading i guess i'll do some tutorials on that next, but for now i think I'll keep it.

What I say still stands. Arm still looks fucked. Hand still looks gimped. You don't have to draw every finger. Also excuses

Progress, I plan on finishing this for my state STLP competition: [IMG]http://gyazo.com/cd585f576cc345b02ac93c0438905160.png[/IMG] Is there a better way for drawing hair? This one pixel brush, draw each hair stuff is getting tiring lol.

And I'm not sure yet, I've got to do some sort of background for it at least that matches the lighting. I'm blanking on idea right now though.

Stream of consciousness story I typed up concerning the perception of time. I've gotten a lot of really cool responses and interpretations. Sadly my thread here didn't get any criticism, so maybe here would be better. [b]Robert J. Smith[/b] Who am I? Or, more accurately, I should ask: what am I? I am a member of the human race. No, that is too specific. I am a body of organs. No, my scale is still too small. I am a conglomeration of atomic beings, all of which are integrated together in such a precise way that with the displacement of a single particle I would be altogether different. I am different from the other animals of this planet. Am I? I suppose I am not entirely sure in that respect. I live, breathe, and eat. I suppose you could say that I am indeed the same as all the other animate beings on this mite of dust floating about in the cosmos. I am, however, capable of conscious thought. I seek amenities, and strive for luxuries. Does this make me capable of conscious thought? Perhaps it does not. I can formulate my own opinions and emotions on a subject. Yet I don not believe this qualifies me as a candidate of consciousness. Any animal can be expected to grow feelings toward any stimulant, positive or negative, with the right amount of conditioning. Who is to say I am simply conditioned by evolution to formulate these thoughts and opinions? Who am I, indeed? As I recall, my name is Robert J. Smith. I was born on December 24th, 2011, or at least that is what I have been told and what I believe. Interesting how even the simplest information of my own origins I know only from the word of others who are just as dependent upon the word of mouth to know their own origins. I am unsure of how long I have lived, as my perception of time has been distorted with its passage. Others pass in and out of my life constantly. To them, they have known who I am for years. To me, I have known them for seconds. It is sad, I believe, that they think they know who I am and yet I myself question that very thing and still have no answer which I can subscribe myself to. I pity them. They do not realize they are investing their lives into a man -- Or rather, a compendium of particles arranged in a precise fashion that constructs the being that I am, -- who will never remember them. I do, however, seem to remember a certain man. The thought of him is blurred, his face in my mind's eye hazy. Such is time's cruel toll on the cognitive perception of conscious thought and memory. But it is not this man's face that is important. Rather, it is his idea that has acted as solace for me over the expanse of time. He formulated something about relativity, as I seem to recall. I believe he explained it rather simply: "When you are courting a nice girl, an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder, a second seems like an hour." It is intriguing then, that I may very well be sitting upon the largest bed of embers known to existence. I no longer choose to acknowledge time. To me, it is as insignificant as my date of birth, just as are my date of conception and my coming date of termination. I seem to recall that December 24th was, once, an important day, to some. But now I am no longer sure. I suppose time is still rather significant, but only in the aspect that it saps me of my memory and perception of its passing. Time passes by me like a graceful dancer, but, by the time I have looked up from my seat to enjoy her beautiful dancing, the recital is over and the next ballet is about to begin: A ballet that I have no ticket for. It is amusing; to say the least, that things that once seemed to be so important no longer hold the slightest hold over me. Even things like my identity have no real meaning. But, now that I entertain this thought, I quietly ponder. Who am I? Or, more accurately, I should ask: What am I? I am a member of the human race. Am I? I can not seem to recall. My name is Robert J. Smith. Does this name make me a human being? Does this name make me anything? It seems so unimportant, and so very frivolous. Who am I, indeed? I am Robert J. Smith. I sit upon the hottest bed of embers known to existence: a cauldron of boiling water hotter than the heat of four hundred billion suns. What am I? I am a slave to time. I am Robert J. Smith: nothing more, nothing less.

On your last one, when doing shit like this you should try offsetting your main focus. Having an offset makes the picture look a lot more interesting than centering everything.

okay i will work on that

This to counter the position on the hips. Try to take the pose your character is in and you'll see it's very difficult and doesn't feel natural. Now try to take a very natural pose you would imagine a mage would take and redraw the whole thing based on that. Don't try to correct your old drawing until the end of the days, you need to let go and have a new go. Killing your darlings is a must, and you'll learn more as you do a new, better one.

-snip- Can't really tell anything about it other than it looks good. The green colours are a little bit too unnoticeable, whilst other colours, like red and blue, are much more visible. Adjust that colour contrast.

Hot fuckin damn you're good at those. I'd love the second one as a 1280x1024 wallpaper.

why is it every cheerio looks different how did u do that

the cheerios we get are mostly different. there's the 4 oat, rice, corn + wheat but i guess the lighting and slight variations in them also changes it

[QUOTE=Autumn;28419435]the cheerios we get are mostly different. there's the 4 oat, rice, corn + wheat but i guess the lighting and slight variations in them also changes it[/QUOTE] What about chocolate cheerios?

How many different Cheerios are in there. Seems like there isn't a single one in there twice.
