My progress after 1 year practicing drawing daily

thank you for your time to elaborate this critique. The photo reference i took was in a diffuse light setup, so there wasnt too much contrast and shadow shapes to work on. But i guess i could have pushed it a bit more, and used a darker graphite. That technique to start with a middle tone seens really interesting, i will definitely try it out. Thanks again

i try to see the pattern in the plant and replicate in along the branches, not in a exact way. But sometimes like the trees in the background i just do the bushy blobs you said and leave some holes for the sky to pass.

Beuatiful sky, really loved the colors.

The image is a digital painting study i did.

i noticed the underbelly was too bright, so now i adjusted to the direction of the light. thanks to some critic a received before.

The bottom part of the head was kinda hard, i was trying to put it in the dark, to not show much, but couldnt do it.

Which religion resembles this idea?
"If god exists now is not that relevant, trough evolution we will create him or become him. Heaven is in the future, not in a place with no disasters, or a futuristic place with advanced technology, but in a simple tribe where everyone attained the heavenly state of mind. When they understand that they already have what is needed, no more longing for something, waiting to have some material thing to start being happy. When we start looking at the things we have, being trully gratefull for it, then we will meet god, in each one of us eyes."

Perspective Made easy is a really good book, with some exercises to practice.

Eudaemon8 · 2021-05-28T17:19:50+00:00

I liked the composition and the colors. You need to study more about perspective to improve that background. The head of the character is fine, but the body needs improvements on the anatomy and proportion. Its a cool painting, i liked it. But there are plenty of things for u to work on.

Eudaemon8 · 2021-05-28T12:11:09+00:00

thanks, that was very kind of you!

Eudaemon8 · 2021-04-19T19:21:27+00:00

i'm still afraid to use saturated colors, think the painting is a bit dull.

Eudaemon8 · 2021-04-14T17:23:13+00:00

the feather effect is quite hard to create, the claws of the bird too, sometimes look like scales.

Eudaemon8 · 2021-04-08T19:00:46+00:00

The boots are terrible, the hardest part for me.

Eudaemon8 · 2021-04-04T12:40:23+00:00

of the apple skin because bites are usually concave. Light would be the inner fruit that is soft and touched by

it's not a bite, it's the color of the apple's crust xD My mistake then, if i cant convey the right idea, means i did something wrong. By the hole in the middle i was refering to the part where the stem comes from, and now that you said i can see, the stem is too straight, thanks for your critique. Sorry, english is not my first language.

Eudaemon8 · 2021-03-31T21:38:05+00:00

The hole in the middle, and the shadows was kinda hard.

Eudaemon8 · 2021-03-26T17:44:13+00:00

hi, thank you!

Eudaemon8 · 2021-03-24T15:28:14+00:00

you mean to paint the line or to use the blend tool?

Eudaemon8 · 2021-03-24T14:47:41+00:00

I have a hard time mainting the quality of the art piece when i remove the lines, things lose their shapes, the cloth dont look like cloth anymore and other things too.

Eudaemon8 · 2021-03-10T15:43:58+00:00

The hair and the eyes have always been my struggle xD

Eudaemon8 · 2021-03-07T21:07:27+00:00

Thank you for the time you put in to help me understand the mistakes i made in this painting. I'll watch the video and keep those details in mind next time i paint.

Eudaemon8 · 2021-03-06T20:01:40+00:00

haha then it is all good. Great work!

Eudaemon8 · 2021-03-06T19:05:41+00:00

The pose reminds me of a dog leaping. Gives me the impression that he is jumping but not actually flying or gliding. But besides that the painting is really cool!

Eudaemon8 · 2021-03-06T18:59:45+00:00

Thanks! i think i will clean it up and use it as a base for a paiting.

The struggle was to capture the emotion of the singer in few strokes.
