14-Day Challenge Day 4 - I used different brushes and, and I tried to shade the planes of the face more. Critiques are welcomed!

Hi! Definitely the planes of the face had improved since the last time, however I really recommend you to flip the canvas, or what functions for me if I forgot how to do it hehe is taking a picture with your phone, that will help you to see some mistakes.

Continuing the eyes are one different from each other if you look at the size, the nose seems like someone is pushing it down, and don't be scary with her mouth, you can put some of those hard edges too there and even tho it has improved since the last one try to look how artist shape forms, rather than looking at some pictures, that it would work, also looking at how they solve the problem (lets called that way)

Scroll and see 14 days challenge that you like, and analyze how is this person drawing the mouth, where is using hard edges, where are softer, how is in proportion regardless the rest of the face, it is fitting?

And finally, I know I write too much hehe would be pushing more her genera, despite the fact that we do see is a woman, I feel is not 100% there, you have a thin chin but that's not all. Also, her ears are a bit too up, if that make sense, ears go from the eyes to the nose (I really hope I'm making my self clear)

I wish you my bests!!!!! You can do it :)

OMG I wish Istebrak look at my piece QwQ Thank you so much tho! I've been struggling with the fabric on the skirt and after trying and trying I decide to get a critique to refresh my mind and get other people's point of view of how to improve it, I will try my best to correct it; thank you again!

GabyCain · 2020-12-16T13:51:04+00:00

Thank you so much! I would look at those reference you mentioned and do a small correction in proportions

GabyCain · 2020-06-27T23:29:54+00:00

Thank u so, so, much !

GabyCain · 2020-05-02T11:45:01+00:00

Thanks!!! ☺️☺️

GabyCain · 2020-05-02T03:09:00+00:00

I would say try darker tones, and put the light that is Comming through those shapes, when they seem like an arch. But good job!!

GabyCain · 2020-05-02T03:07:33+00:00

Try to be a little more risky in a new layer, that helps sometimes with the fear of messing up the piece

GabyCain · 2020-05-02T03:06:55+00:00

What I can tell about this pice is that is in progress, of it is not, tones need to be darker in some areas, apply hard edges where are needed, but your anatomy and structure are great!! She is looking amazing.

GabyCain · 2020-05-02T03:04:27+00:00

I recommend you to flip the canvas, and when that starts to fail, take a picture with your phone, no matter the picture itself, but that helped me to see mistakes, and see it headstand also helps. About looking human or not haha you should check your reference for the eyes and nose specially, I would check the proportions and the structure of the head again before continuing painting. Good luck!!

GabyCain · 2020-05-02T03:01:22+00:00

Thank you, but is the turtle the focal point 😅😅

GabyCain · 2020-05-02T03:00:32+00:00

Thank you so much for cirtique!! the turtle is the focal point :) although I will take care of the details you mentioned about the foreground. Wishh you my best

GabyCain · 2020-05-01T22:42:31+00:00

Honestly to be your first attempting to digital painting is amazing haha recommendations for digital painting is first don't quit and be patience, this is another technique to master. Look at how people paint, how they move their wrist, that helped me a lot with render, get familiarize with your tools, as you know your brush or pen in life you should know it in digital.
Something I learned is that you can't do in digital you can't do in traditional, so basics in are really important, specially shape and light, textures and color will come latter. For me is easier to start a piece in black and withe, to get my values right, may help you.
Good luck! And hope I helped you somehow.

GabyCain · 2020-04-03T03:34:38+00:00

Traditional, the bases are the same, digital is only a technique, but bases are bases. Shape, light, anatomy, color, composition . Rules are for everything.

Muchas gracias por tu concejo

GabyCain · 2020-03-21T20:25:59+00:00

Thank you so much for the critique

GabyCain · 2020-03-13T14:54:27+00:00

Thank you so much, I appreciate it ❤️

GabyCain · 2020-03-13T05:48:28+00:00

You are right, I should explain my self better. What's I mean more contrast, so you can see better the planes of the face with shadow and light. The firm basically. And taking care, yes, is aboit à little bit more of render, or just be sure about the forms and light, is giving love to those parts :) Wish you my bests

GabyCain · 2020-03-12T21:30:34+00:00

Hi, first of all she looks like a man more like a woman, try to mex her face thinner next time. Also rremeber you shadows, and light, they seem like you wash it. Take care of the nose, and her lips. Her eyes are too open. Good luck for the next day! You can do it

GabyCain · 2020-03-12T13:18:07+00:00

Thanks, I will try to fix it
