I really should be posting more. Here is a thing I did based off of the original gundam anime. Been in a slump lately so I was glad to have this idea.

 I'm trying to increase my painting skills.Currently painting this with a reference. Anyone who can spot any glaring mistakes I'm making that I can easily fix? Or is it just a matter of "keep doing what you're doing until you can do it less crappy"?

Feels very flat for some reason. I feel like a value study is what is needed and then paint color over it... however... that probably doesn't sit well with you since you are so far along. Basically a value study will give you a sense of depth before adding color. The lighting appears flat and the style kind of impasto / impressionist. Consider atmospheric perspective. Things farther away should be hazier and things right next to the camera should be razer sharp. This site might help although it is geared towards digital painting but the tips / tricks pretty much all apply here. http://androidarts.com/art_tut.htm For content: A "shady dawg".

Additionally, depending on the distance and the "thickness" of the atmosphere, things further back may have their colors shifted, frequently in a cooler direction. Like how mountains look blue in the further distance, even if they're covered in foliage or stone that isn't remotely blue up close.

Things need to get paler and bluer as they go backwards. Throw in some strong darks at the front if possible. That is everything I know. e: look here's the watercolour I did today. Following a tutorial and I'm not saying it's great but look at the lampposts - they're not all the same darkness. If they were, your eye would see them as flat.

Probably the easiest thing to fix would be the building on the left. It's basically the same shade throughout and making it and the rest of the image feel flat. Besides trying to do something to that building to fix it, it's very much "keep doing what you're doing until you can do it less crappy". Other things to look at in the scene are the trees as well. In the painting they all have a uniform color and just diminish in size. In landscape, color tone/temperature is important. Cooler tones feel as if they're receding and warmer tones will appear to advance towards you. Here's a decent little blurb about it. An important thing to keep an eye for is color analysis, meaning that what your brain infers the color to be isn't necessarily what is actually there. It's important to try and draw/paint what's actually there, not what you think is there. This also applies to basic life-drawing as well and will help you build good fundamentals to help you abstract and improvise later. Basically keep at it and keep making mistakes and learn from them.

Haven't really managed to draw recently. Somehow the motivation is just lacking, and it's stressing me out

skull study that was garbage cause it looks like leatherface's skin mask. art man on youtube told me to do random lines then turn into shapes to learn form and shading. should get a better phone.  Regardless of crappiness, I think I am getting better and having fun.

This looks really cool and seems like a fun way to shade better. Did you have any plan or was this all freeform after putting in random lines? I've been working on this for a couple of days. Really struggling trying to get the fabric look right.

I think that actually looks really nice - the one bit that sticks out is the curve at the top right of the basket, where the fabric comes around in a circle. There's a really hard line following the curve of the circle and the shadow to the right of it looks kinda flat - is it really all one tone? Varying that darkness a bit might give more of an impression of the fabric falling away. I really love the linework on the wicker. Looks lovely.

PSA: Based on a discussion with some folks, I made a place where people can post their work for goons to peruse and hopefully commission art. The other purpose of the thread, and the thing that prompted me to ask people about it, was that I would like a place to point goons who would like to request forums art (like gang tags, avs, banners--things specific to SA). No one has to accept such a request, but at least I would have a central place to point people. Anyway here is the link, hopefully this is in some way useful to someone! https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3964463

Like there's too many ideas for weird lil stories in my head and I get pulled in too many directions at once. Did some more work on the shrimp walker suit thing. Sci-fi Steampunk Space Shrimp.  Still a work in progress, but I need to take a break from this. There's not really anyway to come up with a shorthand for the filigree/arabesque in gothic architecture, so it's super time consuming. Dude's walking around the scifi-art-deco-gothic city on the home world of the rat papal empire. Not sure what the hell the shrimp home world is like. Most certainly a water world, with weird lil underwater sand castles.

 Got some more work done on this today. Decided that I should just ditch the gothic portion of the architecture moving forward. Feels disjointed and a bit out of place.
