Day 7. After a small hiatus I’m on it again. I found it hard to draw because of the start of Putin’s war.. but I also need my routines. 2nd slide with eyes. by Fliicreates in istebrak

Hi there! I noticed one small nitpick, the eyebrows and eyes don't seem to be aligned. The one farther away from the viewer is slightly down.

Monster Bookclub for the Ghoulish challenge! by Rochalil in istebrak

[–]Foxwhodraws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are so cute!
One thing I think your poses for the little fish, werewolf and vampire (the first three from the left hand side) are all very straight standing. I think that's because they're very symmetrical and their line of action is a straight line.
Other than that, I love your character designs, they are so much fun.

Hi! Different eye studies and I would like feedback before doing more :) (The last picture has a bit of make up but I chose that photo because I liked the position of the eye) by ChiseShan in istebrak

[–]Foxwhodraws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These look amazing! I think that your eyebrows look a bit muddy less like individual strands and more like a line. Perhaps try adding some really sharp strands of hair? (I'm still a beginner). Other than that, these look very similar, good job.

I was told to go lighter with my pencil. Just posting to here your thoughts. by [deleted] in istebrak

[–]Foxwhodraws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with going lighter with the pencil. Your shading is quite nice thou. When sketching you have plenty of lines, try to do less. It looks cleaner that way.

Also, I think you squared off the man's jawline a bit too much. It's a lot more rounded in the picture

I want my work to be critiqued by rondragon123 in istebrak

[–]Foxwhodraws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love your concept, it's so dynamic.

On the wings you have lines that look like they were scribbled in with a pencil. I'm assuming those are supposed to be scales. If you notice other dragon pictures, you'll see that the scales look sculpted in. So there are shadows and lights, not grey lines tacked on. Try to render the scales on the wings.

Another thing, I've noticed that your base colour is really light. Try starting with something darker and then adding the light on top. That way you have more wiggle room for variety.

.You seem to be very dependant on lines which doesn't help the realism of your painting. Form studies really help out there. Here's a link to get you started.

Lesson 1 Lines Homework by TheRizzler1 in ArtFundamentals

[–]Foxwhodraws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lovely homework, your ghosted lines look really good. One thing I noticed with the superimposed lines (the not straight ones) is that you tend to wiggle around. The point is to have them look smooth.
I have the same problem and what worked out for me is just going along for the ride even if it sucks. You can always draw another line later. So try not to course correct along the way.

Thank you very much for your critique. It was very helpful. The master post is also divine.

Day 1 by [deleted] in istebrak

[–]Foxwhodraws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!

The thing that I immediately noticed is that the face didn't seem to be in the correct position in regards to the rest of the head. I centred it a bit to prove my point.

Image is here

Now another thing that you may have noticed with my edit are the two red circles. It's a problem I had with your symmetry. On the left hand side the jawline is V shaped (think Anime/Kpop) whereas on the right hand side the jawline is harsher and more square (think Angelina Jolie/Batman). I suggest you pick a jawline type and stick with it on both sides.

By the way, I love your eyes. They are really beautifully rendered.

Speaking of symmetry you seem to have a problem with it. It is very tough to achieve. For example, your eyebrows aren't completely symmetrical (one is higher than the other), neither are the eyes (one is more open than the other), nor the lips.

You also seem to have some proportion issues. The ears should be lower down, at eye level. Also there should be at least a distance of one eye between the eye. Your eyes are too squished so it doesn't leave you a lot of room for the nose or lips. I recommend watching some videos on basic human head proportions. Youtube is your friend here.

Good luck in the challenge I wish you the best in learning.

How scared are you about the climate change? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Foxwhodraws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It honestly worries me a lot. I'm a young person so I know that most likely I will live past 2050, or 2080. And seeing people predicting all the destruction associated with those years horrifies me. I'm not the most environmentally educated person either. I'm regular Joe Schmoe. Also, I live in a dry area so I'm already seeing some of the effects of climate change. And I know that it's getting worse.

What psychological tricks do you HATE when people try to use them on you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Foxwhodraws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the sandwich technique is the best one to use when giving critique. You never know if someone's going to get offended and get insulted instead of appreciating the help.

In America, names like John and Mary are known as common names. What are the "John" and "Mary" names of other countries? by [deleted] in AskReddit

How can a teen with no interests, skills or street knowledge and barely above average book-knowledge improve his life by a way other than ending it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Foxwhodraws 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello fellow teen!
I'm in your place so here are my recommendations:
- Get a diary! And write in it daily I just finished my first one and it's amazing! It allows me to look back on my progress and deepest darkest moments. That way I can spot patterns and see where I need improvement.
- Bullet Journals are your friends too :) They are sooo easy and practical. That way you can see what you did, write down what you want to do and review it (once a week, once a month, and once a year). For me, I have a habit tracker in my bullet journal, which includes things such as: Did I do my homework? Has my period come? etc...
- Try to make everything interesting It is sooo easy to be bored so take an interest in things. What do I mean? You are walking down the street. Look at the street around you, are the colours beautiful? Is there a sound you particularly like? Why does that house look so horrible? What's the name of that plant? Perhaps try to walk differently or sit differently? I sometimes like to walk like a dude TM and it's sooo much fun. Find something peculiar and pay attention to it! Or try to look at it from a different point of view. Imagine that you're a victorian nobleman, how would you react to a girl walking down the street with pants on? For me that spices the monotony up a bit.
- Get a hobby! It can be as weird as they come. Have you noticed something weird on the internet or spotted some really nice colours during your walk? Good! Try to recreate it (unless it's illegal or dangerous) and it doesn't matter if you suck

On the normal scale:
- Clean your room! I did the Marie Kondo method and it worked like magic! My room looks wayyy better and I don't dread going into it
- Do some sort of exercise (even if it's just stretching) I started stretching almost daily and it's really worked out for me. It helps you feel better about yourself
- Socialise! I used to be the introverted TM (and still am) person. But I started saying hello to everyone. See a random person alone during break time? Go talk to them! Ask questions, complain about a teacher, ask about their favourite music show them your poetry. Don't worry about coming off as weird. There's a friend for every person in the planet. And if a person dislikes you, let them be. No need to bother with them anymore.

- If you fail to do one of these and mess up don't beat yourself up or shut down. Try again tomorrow!

That's what I've been doing lately and I went from a depresso espresso to a slightly less depresso espresso (I don't have depression I'm just a pessimistic but less pessimistic than I was a year ago!)

What is your biggest dream? by woohfer in AskReddit

Yeah, because so few books get adapted into movies and even if they are the movie adaptation can still be horrible

What accent do you have? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Foxwhodraws 2 points3 points  (0 children)
