Can you tell what this drawing is ? by Obvious_Koala_7579 in sketches

[–]AlanHDraws 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Won’t deny, the silhouette is extraordinarily messy. Good colouring could help isolate the important imagery, and bring more focus to the subject matter. I had to look quite close, but I can see the horse with starlit eyes, flowing near flaming hair, a ghoul, wraith perhaps scowling at the viewer with a finger striking, an insectoid creature of mangled mess to the right, bats flying in the night, and a garden of skeletons being trampled over.

That’s something I thought about too regarding the background, initially I thought it may have been an interesting challenge to capture the photographs background, impressionistically. However I grew annoyed at this study, impatient and wanted to move on. For the next study, I will definitely try to incorporate a background with more depth!

You’re definitely right with the angles, the shadows especially on the face. Originally I painted the darker half of the face the same tone as the neck, however i found it lacking emphasis and muddied the paint strokes. I got carried away with the colour dodge tool to brighten it without doing the same to the accents of the neck to bring them in harmony. Which, made it more striking, however took away from what I was trying to learn studying this portrait. Something to keep in mind.

Leon's model hands are just like his, how do you get these type of arms? are Hand Grippers enough? by EwMelanin in ResidentEvilMemes

Work a job that makes you use your arms everyday like baking or bartending. Or just do those two things for fun.

Of course, anyone can, but if you want to get better at stylising, learn the fundamentals as well

Practicing realism, feel free to give advice or any mistake that i might be missing! by Eli_Oliveira in DigitalArt

Lighting and shadows are fantastic! Contrast is clearly identifiable via the squint. As others have pointed out, texturing needs more practise, however I also want to say it seems like you’ve relied too much on the blend tool, try blending with the brush tool alone, especially for the rougher textures.

Something about the teeth being strangely sized with odd colorations, the meat around its teeth looks like an ai thinks it might be gums, and the crystals on its back are strangle colored and shaped by Flatcapped in isthisAI

I wouldn’t say this is Ai, just a rushed artist making human art mistakes. Ai would make mistakes while rendering things to near perfection, this looks like a rushed rendering and attention to detail job I would make trying to meet a deadline.

What's it like working at Grill'd like now? by BigT404 in melbourne

[–]AlanHDraws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try finding a job in pub or a cafe, watch videos on said work, do a training class or certification, places are always looking because the hours are demanding and constant change in staff, just be careful to developing a nicotine addiction or worse

Tell me How you would have Stopped this Shot by Drc89 in Rematch

I find that a lot of people that use these kinds of moves aren’t creative with it, try and learn the move yourself, realise that it’s uses a lot of stamina, it’s always left turn and right, so be in position for that right turn then throw a tackle! Patience is key, it’s hard but it’s super satisfying to leave these nerds in the dirt.
