clean up my sketch [img]http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/133/9/f/figure_study_by_fadingz-d3ga09b.png[/img] [editline]13th May 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Fenriswolf;29806989]Alright, thanks for the criticism. Yeah the shadow was 2 second Gaussian blur crap; would you think practice would get rid of the other problems or is there something obvious that I need to work on?[/QUOTE] I feel that you spent almost no effort in the other 3/4 of the image :/ so I think if you spend as much effort in that area, you should get decent result.

I might try to fix it up a bit later on and see if it looks nice, thanks!

[media]http://filesmelt.com/dl/menu31.png[/media] Never got C&C, reposting.

Welp just finished revising Tomato: [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6092109/Tomato%202.png[/img] Definitely better, still not sure about the shadow and the little light bounce thing I did but hey it was worth a shot, I can always change it.

There did the light on the bottom left on the tomato come from?

I suppose there isn't one, I put it there because it was on the ref but I guess I forgot to take it off. Fixed.

The drop shadow is off. (from the perspective of the camera in the room) The lighting suggests that light comes from the front right, where the shadow suggests it comes from top right.

This charcoal drawing I'm drawing is looking pretty fucking sweet. Going to post this shit tomorrow. p.s i love the coal.

Like this correct? [media]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6092109/Tomato%20fix.jpg[/media] I'll fix it tomorrow, too tired tonight. @this [QUOTE=Maya2008;29810122]The drop shadow is off.

you gonna need two drop shadows. one like what you just drew, another rotated by 90 degrees ccw

I'm really bad at art so I am kind of embarrassed to post the thing I doodled in about 10 minutes on wednesday [media]http://gyazo.com/9df1b7949d5253fa4e79003d8634ae33.png[/media] Someone teach me how to anatomy. [editline]13th May 2011[/editline] [img]http://gyazo.com/62a6a49c28be1b16b6c11918555cd0ad.png[/img] Someone also teach me how to PSO.

You could try getting better at poses at [url]http://posemaniacs.com[/url] The 30-second timer is a good start. Also you should watch some tuts on the human anatomy

[QUOTE=Rusty100;29811305]is it supposed to be sexy? because there's something very repulsive about her looks[/QUOTE] the monkey face

and the hands and the body and everything

[QUOTE=Rusty100;29811369]and the hands and the body and everything[/QUOTE] The bikini top is also very repulsive

cock ass poop

[QUOTE=1chains1;29812016]Not much we can really crit on, it is too abstract.[/QUOTE] woah dude that totally doesn't look like a bird :v:

[QUOTE=1chains1;29812016]Not much we can really crit on, it is too abstract.[/QUOTE] how about it looks nice, is well drawn and is nicely shaded who gave you this idea that the subject matter has to exist in real life for you to be able to comment on it? wtf

[QUOTE=wewt!;29812084]woah dude that totally doesn't look like a bird :v:[/QUOTE] Too abstract =/= abstract. We do not know the intent or thought of his piece or what he wanted to convey. It is obviously not meant to be a realistic rendering of a bird. The only possible crit could be on design, and even then there is not much to say. edit- It does look nice. But that is not exactly critique.

I also like how you made the sand, it actually looks sandy

[QUOTE=strider;29802836]That pictures is probably taken in some overlit studio and because of that he looks really pale and there's hardly any definition in the face. I think trying to copy that into a painting is not a good idea. He looks like, excuse me, an evil clown now.[/QUOTE] Well, doesn't the panting look like it's in an overlit studio? And I wasn't really being serious about the hair, but I guess sarcasm doesn't really convey well through text. It's just that it seems like so much work and I don't even know if I can paint it (it'll probably just look even shittier). This is like my second shot at digital painting, so I just did this to practice brush technique and shading and the hair wasn't really my main attention. So any CC on my technique, ignoring the hair?
