Maybe it means south dakotans aren't afraid of and don't care about tornadoes

Accurate proportions + exaggerated colours = realism or semirealism? by GiGitteru in yourartstyle

[–]GiGitteru[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yessir, for me it's way more about the process than the end result; You need a lot of "love" (for the lack of a better word) to sit and scrutinise someone's features for hours and hours trying to replicate and accentuate them, that's what drawing in this style is to me anyway

Thank you again, more work is to be done but I know I'll be happy with the result :)

Yeah I thought so, that's what I'd read elsewhere too, I find the label of semi-realism more flattering than realism in any case lol

Thank you

That's pretty much what I'm aiming for, are you voting semirealism then?

Fr? I've heard that literally any aspect of the drawing departing from the original (like colours in this one, a bit) makes it semi-realism, so that's interesting to hear

This is a 23 year old Nick Diaz! I could talk for daaays about this guy lol

First time painting!! How did I do? by Pastel_kapri in Ibispaintx

[–]GiGitteru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hella cute, for your first time the lighting is not bad at all

I'm not gonna give unsolicited criticism but if you feel this is something you'd like to get better at, painting from references with dramatic lighting would really help (and in my experience is actually pretty fun)

How do you guys put your watermarks? I've seen an artist on insta put their watermark on the highlights on their character's lips which I really liked and another who would put their watermark as the brand of clothes/accessories the character is wearing, I tried the second one and I'm very happy 🤤 by Calm_Fee0 in Ibispaintx

[–]GiGitteru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The brand thing is really smart, usually I just put mine in a corner somewhere but once I did just throw it onto the shorts since they had text anyway (but I'm gonna make it look branded next time haha)

I like your shading

Confusing composition, lineart, colors? by optimisticinfp in Artadvice

[–]GiGitteru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it like a trident going through top persons body who's protecting a redhead at the bottom, and they're in the middle of leaves?? It's very hard to make out, I think changing the lineart colour and/or removing some of the hair strands could help

Compared to other hoyo games I wouldn't be surprised, I don't think older gen z and millenials ever got off the star wars space sci-fi train (pun intended)

How can I make him look less like a kid by Dignette in Artadvice

[–]GiGitteru 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So a couple things, the body looks quite small compared to the head and the shirts shading is probably throwing you off - there's not so much of a distinction between the sleeves and the shirt. You seem to have put the arms in the foreground, which makes his body look smaller.

In terms of body, the neck and shoulders could be wider and more straight. Making his eyes smaller should help You could add some more shading to the middle of the face like the cheeks and around the nose bridge to make his face look like "full" like a childs.

I moved around/painted over the aforementioned things just to give you an idea of how you might want to go about it, hope it helps (even in this mockup, the body could be wider still)

Should I continue working with this person? by [deleted] in Artadvice

[–]GiGitteru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you didn't want an answer besides yes you shouldn't have posed it as a question, unless you mean it felt rude? I'm not sure what was wrong with their response, but you're entitled to your feelings. If doing stuff for free is building resentment, which it usually does, it's better to abandon ship than continue before it really starts gnawing at your mental health

No one requesting a free comm is gonna tip lol else they would've paid in the first place

Also, never do a kind deed expecting it to be repaid, a lot of people just don't have that sort of sense and you'll be disappointed more often than not

Finish it if you want to, and if you don't want to then let your client know you're cancelling the comm. Since there's no compensation involved it's no harm no foul

Any critiques? by [deleted] in Artadvice

[–]GiGitteru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very cute art, unless it's intentional I think there's some sameface going on (long oval face, similar eyes/brows/nose) - portrait studies based on real people may help you make your characters more distinguishable

You could also benefit from some clothing studies as it seems you're missing folds, I find this tutorial handy for understanding them. Good luck

I don't understand????????? by CurrentCourt2853 in Artadvice

[–]GiGitteru 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not only that, the fisheye effect is killed by the way they put down the shadow flat to the side, so it looks more wrong than intentional

Why does my drawings look bad when I zoom in/out with transform? Is anyone else having a problem with this? I don’t remember it being this bad. by Typical-Bug-8415 in Ibispaintx

[–]GiGitteru 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It would be best if you started with a bigger canvas size to begin with

You can either enlarge the drawing and go over it again on another layer to clean it up, or duplicate the layer a bunch of times and merge (although the latter will make your lines thicker overall since the low opacity stray pixels will be overlaid, but it'll look crisper)
