I've mostly been doing pen drawing since I started my iPad doodling career a few months ago, but here's a first semi-serious attempt to do something with colors in Procreate. Looked at Caravaggio's The Calling of St Matthew for reference. As usual, I have a persistent feeling that the feature placements are out of whack in a way that's probably glaringly obvious to anyone seeing it for the first time, but I've exhausted all the tricks like that "flip the canvas to get a fresh view" one, so feel free to tell me what I've done wrong (or right).

Haha, I can see that being the case. Oh and I really like that Venus of yours.  Sharpest Crayon posted:There's nothing glaringly wrong that I can pick out that's not wrong in the original. I mean, looking at the original, the model is gormless. It looks like someone who was used to painting adults only decided that "teenagers are like babies but with a big nose and long face right?" and then went for it and the result is weird and somewhat flat. Thanks for these! And yeah, you're right about the original being less than realistic. It's not like there's any shortage of teenage boys in his stuff, but he does like to often paint their faces in that kind of doll-like manner. Not sure if that's a stylistic choice or if people just saw things differently back then. I just happen to have a huge Taschen book of his, and I like it a lot, but it's indeed a good thing to keep in mind when using it as a reference.

Haha, that’s great. Inspired by the Chase bank painter? More painting practice with Caravaggio. Any critique appreciated!

The hand is disproportionately small in comparison to the head...assuming it's not some David and goliath picture.  I should just have put the painting title in, it’s indeed unusually relevant in this case.Thanks for the comments all

My doodling sort of died down a few months ago, I guess I started taking it slightly too seriously and obsessing about learning things the right way and doing boring exercises, which is exactly the the kind of thing that I had set out to avoid in this relaxing little side hobby. Slowly getting the hang of the basics again after warming up for a couple of days, and all the same old errors too I suppose...
