I quickly sketched over your drawing to show the parts you are missing. -Edit, I guess I should post the head study I painted today.

drat, that is awesome. The only (small) thing that occurs is that the shade at the inside door edges could possibly take a bit more contrast? Also, angryman needs to be holding a half-empty whisky bottle.

I really really appreciate all the feedback everybody's been giving me! I'm aware that the stuff I'm posting is ugly as sin and it's frustrating to watch me screw up over and over, but I promise I'm taking everything into account and might hopefully soon start improving a little.  I don't have any snarling hellbeasts today, but I tried to pay attention to the size of the cranium versus the face and make the features smaller than I automatically want to, because I think years of cartoony manga stuff has skewed my perception of what a human being looks like.  The eyes are still too big I think, so I'll work on that next.

If you saw just the outline on the right, you would think to yourself, "There's no loving way eyes are that small!", but once you put it over the photo it was taken from it makes sense. This is the problem with starting the face with lines -- we see the bounding box of the face without any depth. And so the cheeks and lateral parts of the face seem puffy and bloated. In the photo example above, the outline looks like it's from a chubby dude rather than an attractive/petite woman. In short, facial proportions are a mind-gently caress because we can hardly separate reality from our internal version of 'a face'. It takes a lot of practice to get it down, and we can't really get better at drawing realistic people without using real references and being super meticulous about it -- at least for many years.

 EDIT: I just noticed that the eyelids aren't apparent in this photo. It's frustrating because it make it evident that her eyes are pointed in the same direction. I'll try to rework the painting so they show up better. Stroszek fucked around with this message at 05:22 on Apr 19, 2014 |

One day, dammit. diddy kongs feet posted:5am Shevlino study. Just under 45 mins. I saw your studies and picked up gurneys color and light. It should arrive in the week! I've been putting off studies for years and I want to try my hand at some rougher digital painting. I've got all these beautiful Kyle Webster photoshop brushes but, embarrassingly, I don't really know where to start. Can anyone help me out with some thoughtful guides for traditional painting or recreating traditional painting aesthetics with digital painting?

Awesome to the max. Pink looks great with Nintendo gray. Also thought the second photo was a painting (edit: because of the interesting perspective on the canvas, then I looked around) - I wouldn't put it past you.

Baldbeard posted:Are you drawing from a photo reference? Starting as children, we automatically exaggerate the import features of the face. Instinctively, we make the eyes too big, the nose too long, and we give the lips a non existent solid outline. The only way to break this habit is to spend a lot of time drawing what you see, rather than what you know is there. Use a reference for a while and be vigilant in copying the proportions.  Right now I'm making a conscious effort to draw the facial features far smaller than seems right to me, trying to break myself out of the googly-eyed mould. I've put off trying to draw actual realistic humans for far too long, but I'm committed to getting it right now, even though it's going to take a long time and be super-embarrassing.I didn't have access to a tablet or a scanner on the weekend so I had to use graphite like some sort of primitive.  This looked okay but -   And today's picture:

   I've been copying some Tony Riff illustrations in a effort to improve (I'm still very much a beginner), but I feel like I'm having trouble coming up with ideas of my own, and can't really draw anything without a reference. Should I be forcing myself to be original? Am I stalling my progress by emulating other people's work? Also any feedback or advice on how to improve would be appreciated.

There's not anything inherently wrong with copying as long as you don't try to pass it off as your own. That said, we can't really gauge you "skill level" based off of your copies of someone else's work, especially when it's cartoony and simple. I'm willing to be it took him years to develop that style and he can also draw naturalistic representation pretty well. By copying you're limiting yourself to a certain way of drawing something, which while cool looking, doesn't represent the entire scope of art out there. I guess it really depends on what you want out of your art. Do you want to be able to draw anything and everything or only cartoony caricatures? Do you want to try and make money selling your art, or is it only for your personal entertainment/gratification? edit: Looking at Tony Riff's work, it's obvious that he has a good concept of general form and structure. It is [b}REALLY[/b] helpful and important to figure out the fundamentals of drawing before jumping into a cartoony or minimalistic sort-of style. dog nougat fucked around with this message at 00:16 on Apr 22, 2014 |

Scott Robertson's How to Draw is a good book to learn perspective from.

This is something I picked up from "how to draw the marvel way," but it does seem to ring true to me: When looking at a human head straight on [like in your drawing,] the head tends to be about five "eye lengths" across, with one eye length between the eyes. Obviously that isn't true for every human head out there, but it's something to keep in mind. For reference, check out the top example on this page: http://www.realcolorwheel.com/human.htm

I'm still not seeing enough cranium, I think. Like someone before said, it's tempting to make the face take up most of the head because that's what we focus on, but there's a lot more forehead than we think. I experimented a bit with the proportions of the head, here:  Also, I added ears.

Adding the extra head made it go, for me, from "something isn't right" to "nice stylistic exaggeration".
