Well, it's been a while since I posted. I got incredibly busy with my thesis and will likely remain such until the end of the month, so I was too tired in the evenings to draw. Today I had a plane flight to Malaga though, so I had two hours to spare. Started on another scenery, but didn't manage to finish it, so here's just a preliminary sketch for now: https://twitter.com/Shinmera/status/985515966770696192

Al! posted:walking animations are hard It's just that the proportions are off - here, I redlined it for ya: (uh sorry about the quality I hosed up saving it but you can still see what I mean)  The end of the hand will generally reach about mid-thigh on a normal person, and the girl has long legs, but stumpy arms comparatively. Your options are to bring up the legs or lengthen the arms. Personal preference note: I would leave the bobbing out. Even though humans do technically go up and down when walking, on a scale like this she looks a bit too bouncy, like she's got a happy skip in her step even though she's obviously a goth and far more likely to slouch ahead.

If the proportional division of the head is wrong, everything within those divisions will be wrong.

Working through the Bargue plates. You're supposed to map out the highest/lowest, leftmost/rightmost points first and then draw connecting lines between them. No curved lines at all during construction. I can tell that this is a very useful exercise because it makes me feel uncomfortable as hell.

The more muted colour palette seems unusual for you, and that combined with the longer brush strokes lends a sort of 19th century children's book feel to it!

I only used a ruler to drop the initial cross for the three small faces and all of ears. I wasn't supposed to but it was getting near the end of lunch hour and I wanted to finish the whole plate.

 Did a very simple landscape for fun. It was inspired by some weird bad video game I can't even remember the name of which is why the palette is so odd.

I used it a bunch back in school with pastels.

I just finished a beginner's watercolor painting class, this is the piece i felt came out the best Criticism welcome, especially with how to get depth on the door (it looks so flat) and how to make the flowers go in front of the door without getting muddied up (mask?) but be gentle, this is the first art class I've done since I was 12 years old

DrGonzo90 posted:I just finished a beginner's watercolor painting class, this is the piece i felt came out the best I think the biggest thing I would focus on would be varying the sizes and patterns of the leaves more, look at on the left side how the leaves start out larger and less evenly spread out near the top and get smaller and less clumped together as they come down. Layering things is harder, watercolor is a tricky unforgiving mofo when it comes to that, you kinda have to start with the things in the foreground and work back, which is the opposite of how other kinds of painting work so it's not very intuitive. I'm no good at watercolor so take that with a grain of salt. This head is kinda creepy and generic looking, but I mostly just made it to use as a mannequin for some different hairstyles (why the top/sides of the head aren't really shaded) so it's good enough for that

Wowporn posted:This head is kinda creepy and generic looking, but I mostly just made it to use as a mannequin for some different hairstyles (why the top/sides of the head aren't really shaded) so it's good enough for that It might seem somewhat inconsequential, but ensuring that the planes on the mannequin are good - especially on the top/sides - is important for convincing-looking hairstyles. You don't even have to shade them, necessarily; you can use cross-contour lines or edge indicators to show the various plane changes. The reason this is important is the principle of having a solid framework to hang the hair on. Hair naturally follows the planes of the head, and is usually drawn in large chunks or clusters, so being able to "see" where the hair is going to turn down, what could cause changes in its course, how it relates in terms of its position to the head (if you're doing something like spiked hair, bangs, etc.). I did a quick sketch based on your image to show what I mean:  Mapping out the side plane of the head especially makes it easier to place hair on top of the mannequin without too much fiddling or worrying about the shape, since you can compare the planes of the hair to the planes of your mannequin to more easily determine flow:  I say this only because I've learned the hard way that spending a bit of time on making the rougher stuff look good will save a lot of time later on when it comes to making the finished stuff look good. It doesn't have to be a Picasso (and it definitely shouldn't if all you're doing with the piece is some concept art), but making sure you've got that good framework to work off of will make your life a lot easier in the long run.

This is so happy aaaargh I want to bounce about in this happy pastel funland! DrGonzo90 posted:
Unfortunately, the only way to get the leaves in front of the door now is to ditch watercolours and move on to acrylics to get some opaqueness. Watercolours are firmly in the "should've thought of that earlier" camp of painting when it comes to adding stuff to the foreground. Your options would have been to paint them first, then very carefully paint the door in around them, or using the aforementioned masking fluid to mask out the parts where they will be, painting the door, then peeling the mask and painting the leaves in. The only reason the door looks flat when comparing is because of the 3d effect brought on by the bright light leaves covering the reference. If you just look at it without the reference, you've got wood grain and tone variation in the wood and shadows in the corners, it really doesn't look flat and you've done a good job bringing all that detail in. I also like how many different shades you've brought in the foliage! I agree with Wow in that adding larger leaves would even the picture out more, since the door is the biggest area of colour and getting some more coverage on the foliage would spread the attention more. I used to love to do lil details with tiny brushes, but try using a bigger brush with a proper sharp tip. That way, you can still do your detail when you carefully use just the tip of the brush, but when you want bigger shapes you just press down more to spread the brush on the paper. As for me, tiger study.

Yeah that's a good point, I have the hairline in the sketch layer still but I'll have all that stuff in the sketch for each hairstyle. I'm not amazing at drawing heads but I have a lot of experience styling weird hair so I hope it translates to this a little.

Hey art goons, I started drawing again after a pretty long art drought, so I decided to try out a portrait to get the gears turning again. This is graphite and CarbOthello black pastel, on ye olde printer paper. I'm pretty sure I hosed up the eye placement, but aside from that, any thoughts/suggestions? Also, trying to get a cell phone picture to reflect the value range of the actual page is a huge pain in the rear end.  04.19.2018 | Graphite + CarbOthello Pastel on Printer Paper by Kris Nicholson, on Flickr
