Oh boy, landscapes. The only thing I'm arguably good at! Eyvind Earle did the best landscapes. Your landscapes wish they were Eyvind Earle's.  Dong Kingman is also a big inspiration for me.  Even Tolkien was loving awesome.  Why, everyone's favorite genocidal dictator Adolf Hitler spent his youth as an impoverished starving artist painting landscapes for cash.

My first portrait in almost a week. I hope I captured William Shatner's likeness. EDIT: This took a long time. So worth it, though.

Felat, do you use constructive anatomy for all your figures? They're pretty solid.

Today I did a bunch of sketching to learn new things, such as eyes, and the last sketch is more to do with the hands and mouth expressions with lighting (this is a sketch I might fix up into a painting later).

I really want that ability to exaggerate and understand volumetric forms, so I'd love to know how you go about it. I always start with a circle and a jaw shape, then I draw a line for where the eyebrows are going to be and the face's center line (where the nose will be). This is usually enough construction for me to start adding stuff. I don't have a fancy technique and I basically follow all of the thousands of youtube tutorial videos out there and the loomis technique and all that. The biggest trick I can give you for exaggerating and understanding the volume of the face is to draw portraits from life as accurately as you can. Generally, the people who can create a wide range of faces with all kinds of exaggerated features are really good at drawing portraits. I'd love to work in that. Can't wait to have an office instead of an all-in-one room. edit for content: I drew a head this morning that I really liked and I'm going to try and do a finished piece for once. Still struggling with what pose to give them though.

Haha , yeah, I think he turns it off to draw. Also there is a really nice yellow leather chair right there in the from corner, but I took it out for composition reasons. bitmap posted:this is honestly a step above your already awesome work, man. SOMEONE (like me) has been trying their darndest to learn from kevin dart, yeah? Thanks, I wanted to practice more layout stuff, since that's what i'm focusing on for my career. And yeah I wanted it to be very kevin dart. I love your stuff too by the way, I saw an animation that you worked on recently at the cinemafily animation breakdown. Something with like strange elephants and mosquito worlds.

My contribution to felix's animation was seriously nothing more than me getting him so high that he came up with that idea.

 WIP. I think i have to stop relying on so many layers to get a realistic effect, getting lost in the folders. I wonder in digital art is it considered 'wrong' to use references so closely?

Trying to figure out how to work with acrylic inks, on bristol, using dip pens. I think I'm starting to understand how it works, but have a long way to go - both in how they work and also trying to develop a style with them. Tips appreciated, and if anyone wants to share any knowledge offline, I'd love to soak up any tips you have (dip pen and/or acrylics).

Hell, you could share your knowledge with me on how to get a smooth, flat wash. I can't figure inks out at all.

I can get a flat wash with watercolor easy but ink dries so quickly (and naturally becomes lighter when it does) you'll get a noticeable overlap. It might be an issue of paper, I use heavily textured stuff.

Beelzebub posted:^^^This is great!^^^ Thank you for that walkthrough. The breakdown is fantastic! Curious why you chose to leave the background brown (as described on pg 11)? Did you want the effect of brown paper/canvas showing through? Regardless, congratulations on the editor's choice award. It is has been really cool watching the progress of that painting in this thread. sigma 6 fucked around with this message at 02:39 on Apr 6, 2014 |
