[QUOTE=mac338;39371745]That is incredibly neat, but I think it could benefit you if the river at the foot of the waterfall was moved to the right to keep the illusion of its perspective.[/QUOTE]
Ah I see that now. I'll think more carefully about that next time!
[QUOTE=Xephio;39371920]youre making these at a rapid speed and every one of them has its own colour and atmosphere and mood its just really is relaxing my eyes just by looking at these
great improvement man[/QUOTE]
Thanks =D
[QUOTE=Regorc's Chest;39372718]That reminds me of... what is it again? Oh yes, Starhawk.

While I love the picture I can't help but feel something is off with the lack of definition between the rocks/moss/grass and the fields in the background.
But whadda I know? :v:[/QUOTE]
I think I get what you mean; it could definitely benefit from some further refinement later on.

My vanishing points were way further than that. They were out of my page, also my horizon is above the carriage :v:
Look:

I know my wheels are shit. Don't look at them!
I'm pretty sure the picture has a narrow field of view intentionally.
This looks like a concept drawing, and concept drawings often utilize a narrow field of view because it allows for a clearer view of the concept itself, and it's easier to draw more technical things that way as well.
EDIT:
Or something like that. Point is it looks good
I was just using the ground plane as refrence for the grids
you should always get a proper ground plane in your scene to place your objects
[editline]27th January 2013[/editline]
the sketch looks fine, why didn't you follow that?
I did follow it, it was on my painting the whole time. Could be that my wheels are a little of.. I'll check it!
Here have an Eagle I drew on the trainride to the airport and flight to Edinburgh. (Ca. 2 hours)

I didn't have any good pencils or anything so it was made with a cheapass regular ballpoint pen that I'd use to fill out forms at the airport. Did the sketching veeeery carefully. Kinda fucked up the mountains so I never really posted it before now.

It seems that you have forgotten a wheel.

You're lining up the front wheels together with the back wheels, but the back wheels sticks further out than the front wheels, thus you're completley skewing and fucking up the ground plane, fucking up the perspective.

The first thing I notice here is how much you deviated the back-wheel from the original sketch. It's much bigger, which I don't personally think suits it at all, it's impractically big. It either makes the rest of the wagon look really small, or it has a enourmous wheel. It also takes a lot of focus from the wagon itself for me, because it's the only thing that deviates in size.
[img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3655193/DatwheelPoints.jpg[/img]
1. The lightsource is clearly coming from the top left if we judge how the light falls on everything except the wheels. Light it accordingly, where it's pitch black it actually gets hit directly by the sun.
2. This shadow indicates that the lightsource is almost pointed right at the wheel, just at a slightly higher angle, but it's actually coming from way up in the sky.
3. You have a well established light source on the roof, yet the roof that sticks out and gets hit with light from the top doesn't cast a shadow on the wagon?
4. I originally pointed this out because I didn't notice the light spheres and would suggest to tone down the highlights furthest in. Now that I noticed the spheres I would suggest turning them up a bit because it's sitting right next to the light.
5. Here is an obvious proof of you copy-pasting your wheels, light doesn't hit here, the whole wagon is blocking the sun from hitting it.
6. These strops are all going at different heights, it makes the pole they're holding slant downwards. The main troublemaker is the one to the far right from our point of view.
7. Why is there shadow here? The wheel doesn't cast in that direction, it completely crashes with the perspective.
8. On the far right the pole is sticking out beyond the wheel, on the left it stops before the wheel, this is part of the reason why it looks slanted, and it breaks the perspective.
Here is me attempting to fix some of the shit haphazardly enough to make you get what I mean, take this with a grain of salt because people always laugh at me when I try to correct peoples work, so use your head and judge for yourself whether I am right or wrong.

Hello, i made these two wallpapers in school because i was bored. Unfortunately, almost every website is on the black list there. Thats why i dont really used good stock images.

Nothing wrong with copying and pasting parts of an image as long as you remember to touch them up if they require it. Often I'll copy and paste stuff and then just add or remove little bits to give each copy a unique feel to it

I'm commenting on it as is. That's all. Better to mention than not and then see it not being dealt with at the end because you assumed things.
[QUOTE=Regorc's Chest;39378796]Hey Maloof, after watching the video I'm really interested in your layer arrangement technique, would you mind posting the layer panel for Ribs?[/QUOTE]
For sure! I'll try to get it uploaded later today
Essentially, the main painting is all on one layer. Small additions that I'm unsure of or may want to change the position or colour of (often for compositional reasons) go on a separate layer, so that I can more easily make changes.
Sometimes I'll realise that I need to add some large overall colour change (such as the soft-edge round brush 10% opacity stroke across the entire image where the legs meet the ground which just helps to give a slightly more realistic depth and atmosphere), and as this will often require a non-normal blending mode (colour dodge in this case) I'll throw it on another layer. I keep this effect as a separate layer in case I want to make changes to it later on and make it more or less visible, so I create another layer on top of it and from then on all further additions go onto that layer, because if you're painting underneath a transparent layer and you colour-pick a colour, it'll appear wrong.
I was somewhat undisciplined though in this painting and ended up painting on the wrong layers, etc. But it's not the end of the world

Yeah for sure! Obviously you need to take into account the spatial changes when you're copying and pasting something and if it's obvious that you haven't then it can look a bit lazy

This is really good, one of the best if not the best thing I've seen you make.
You're improving a ton. Keep at those studies as well.
the legs look wrong but the body looks pretty cool. i also don't understand why the hand reflects like that but the rest of the body doesn't.

Drawings
taking my first drawing class ever, had to do a still life drawing for homework.
this is my first time ever sitting down with a sketchpad, quality graphite pencils and blender pencils.
[t]http://puu.sh/1THUS/2473b90cf9[/t]
I'm pretty impressed with myself personally. it's supposed to be an orange.
oh yeah and that's not supposed to be a shadow, it's supposed to be the reflection of my laminated table :v:
Oh hey Proto. It's Con Fett. I've just been chillin here under this other monicker.

I also just finished [I]another [/I]still life, this time of a bottle of some premium soda shiz. I already packed up my stuff or I'd snap a photo of that too.
So, what do you guys usually do in 9 days without computer? I drew a bit.

I see you guys talking a lot about not petting your lines and I understand how it can look better, but when I try to draw a clean, full line, it comes out all wobbly and bad. How can I fix this?
