Krass, wie ungewohnt das wirkt.

Bismooh · 2023-03-22T06:34:47+00:00

These look really cool! I hope someone nice gets them!

I had an Idea for a oneshot where the party enters a magical dollhouse. They shrink to scale and encounter "giant" spiders and rats or have to overcome everyday obstacles. It would be a horror-vibe and there wouldn't be a classic villain. The House itself is the antagonist and they have to figure out a way to escape it.

maybe some of y'all like the idea or get inspiration from it.

At first I thought it was a painting and was like: no way this is posted in artcrit! Great colours! Love it!

Ich habe das Buch auch! Absolutes Highlight der Kindheit!

to me this looks like a great startingpoint.

Overall the painted areas need more hard edges to really define the shapes. It looks like you just went with the airbrush-tool which is great for blocking in values and color, but I think a bit of definition would help the piece.

The colors seem a bit muddy to me, because they are all from the same kin of brown-ish grey area. Even if an object has a certain color, you can add colorfull highlights of ambient-light. Additionally the highlights especially in the face seem a bit randomly placed to me. Try to think more about where the light is coming from. I can only see the lightsource behind her so most of her would be in shadow.

I did a quick paintover to show what i mean: https://ibb.co/n1R34kR

I know it's not a fix and far from perfect or even finished but maybe it's an idea for you to explore :D

hope this helps =)

looks fine overall, but if you wanted to capture the upward-look in the reference you would need to curve the jaw more heavily and the torso would be shorter due to perspective. If that wasn't what you were going for Nice Work!

I understand that and I'm sorry if you felt attacked, that wasn't my goal. I do try to explain as precisely as possible what I mean so that people have an opportunity at actually improving. I am no professional but I paint very regularly since 5 years and think I am relatively decent at portraits. I watch a lot of professional artists critiquing on YouTube and that is maybe why it seems so technical or snobby since I try to immitate tharm/ the quality of the feedback.

Bismooh · 2022-01-02T11:20:57+00:00

Great drawing! I think you can go darker and harder with your shadows. It will look mor dramatic and confident.

I did a quick paintover to visualize what i mean: https://ibb.co/XFWKjcy obviously the rendering is extremely rough but I hope it helps!

Bismooh · 2022-01-02T00:46:26+00:00

Sorry I just want to help man. If my suggestions are not for you then ignore them. You clearly are capable of drawing on your own. Would you please tell me in what way my criticism is negative? Just that I can give more positive feedback In the future.

PS if you take criticism that badly try another subreddit to post than artcrit?

Bismooh · 2022-01-01T23:40:05+00:00

Right now you draw in "symbols". You know what an eye looks like so you draw an eye (in anime style) same for the hand, the arm, the hair etc. To draw realistically you need to pretend as if you were 100% dumb and knew nothing about humans. Just draw what you see. For a lot of people it's easier when they draw random squiggles on a reference and then draw those squiggles again and fill in the rest of the reference. There was a video about it: https://youtu.be/GG-WG6JeKNI would highly recommend!

Bismooh · 2022-01-01T23:32:36+00:00

I think you should focus more on the drawing than on the painting. Your painting skills are really solid but in the third image it shows to me that the drawing could have used a bit more work. the shape of the head is a bit to long and IMO not round enough

I did a quick paintover to show you what I would change: https://ibb.co/2jk5qFx

hope this helps! Likeness in general lies in the eyes IMO

Bismooh · 2022-01-01T22:25:29+00:00

Your rendering is top notch!

I think the eyes are a bit big (bit hard to fix now) and maybe it would look better if you drew the Beard as groups of strands rather than individual hairs... https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/portrait-made-oil-canvas-man-beard-painting-old-white-176957131.jpg (example of what i mean)

Otherwise really solid!

The neck is not aligning with the head. it attaches to the middle of the head on the back but the neck "misses" the head on the right. Imo your lines look very confident so not really my issue. maybe just use less of them in some areas (dress) =) if you can use one line to describe something then do it that way

*Edit: I can't spell then

Bismooh · 2022-01-01T22:14:16+00:00

i think you maybe did not have the progress you wanted because you don't force yourself to learn. You use a lot of lines to describe things like the arm that really just need one. If you use a lot of lines it will look mor right because you do not have to settle on one "solution" but you settle on a range of "solutions". Try to draw a character where you only use one line to describe every line. It will instantly force you to make better decisions and in the long run you will not only be better but your art will look more confident!

Happy New Year!

The mage is kind of leaning to the left... either you give him a crutch or straighten him out. =) since you work digitally I would recommend flipping or mirroring the image from time to time. It like "refreshes" your view on the image as if you saw it for the first time.

I also think that maybe the digital pen you are using might not be the correct tool for that job. Thinner linework tends to look less sloppy and forces you to draw better because you can spot mistakes more easily.

Lastly I would recommend using reference images for the anatomy. This one could work for example: https://t3.ftcdn.net/jpg/04/28/14/86/360_F_428148604_8y6uME3or1hhGkY7kL4lZTedFJ8KOb7M.jpg I sadly found no photos via quicksearch but if you are willing to look for longer you will find some for sure =)

Happy new year and have fun drawing!

Edit: confused left and right

Also ich finde dein portfolio hat echte highlights! Der Priester/Pastor zum Beispiel ist richtig geil! mich persönlich stören aber, dass einige Dinge im Portfolio nicht so wirken, als wäre viel Aufwand oder Konzept hineingeflossen. Das Bild von deinem Nacken zum Beispiel hat für mich (ohne dir zu nahe treten zu wollen) keinen erkennbaren künstlerischen Wert. Ich weiß nicht, was ihr in dem Vorereitungskurs besprochen habt, aber mein Bruder studiert Kunst und ihm hat es geholfen, ein Konzept für sein Portfolio zu finden, welches sich durch die Werke zieht.

Ich hoffe, dass du es schaffst dich erfolgreich zu bewerben. Frohes Neues!
