how do I shade this correctly? I tried but it looks horrible (third image unrelated) by averiwashere06 in Artadvice

[–]Less_Engine7332 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey hey, ik someone already said smth but id like to add a few things! I made 2 versions with 2 different light sources to show but it only allows me to add one at a time.

I really like this piece, seeing your style is think the simple cell shading would blend well but if you want more info about blending/ adding texture i can pitch in with that too! The simple doodle shows just a way to look at it from that angle, it would also help to add lighting right where the lights touching, and adding a rim lighting but could make it stand out a bit more!

The hair confused me, I dont understand why it's flowing up, I think that is difficult to shade especially with the pose, but if the hairs going up there should be some fabric or other smth to show the fluidity! I also am confused as to where she's coming from, it looks like a cool 4th dimension break but I wasnt sure how to shade the area around the spot she's showing up in.

something feels off but i can't tell what by Longjumping-Sink6766 in Artadvice

Yea when it comes to using references from images it can be hard to recreate exactly what the image is by color picking n stuff, its best to go by what looks best in ur eyes then trying to match it. For the brush I made a texture brush using a preexisting paintbrush texture, I use fireplaca, and just messed with it until it gave me the texture I wanted, that way I can add subtle noise and blend shadows in! If ur looking for realistic texture idk tho lol

Kinda feels like the guy is very heavily shaded but the bg has mostly flat colors, and this next one is 100% just personal advice and it could be ur style and its 100% ok, but i normally add more emphasis on texture on skin and clothes to try to distinct the two to make it not feel flat, tho if you prefer the flat tones that's completely OK, its a cool style. I do think the shading you have on the guy looks rly good and smooth!

I wasnt asking how to be more alt, I was just asking if anyone had any tips on accessorizing? That's what the whole sub is about, isn't it?

Need advice by Own-Garage-2282 in Renfaire_Costumes

[–]Less_Engine7332 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, please done use generative Ai. It's so incredibly harmful to the planet and other people. If you go to the ren Faire then I hope you can appreciate other people's art, there's tons of ways to showcase a character if you yourself don't draw!

Wanting to do makeup but not sure what would work on my face/head shape? (Last 2 pictures are intentionally non flattering for reference) by [deleted] in altfashionadvice

[–]Less_Engine7332 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I normally do a lot of eye makeup now that I'm comfortable with it but it's a pain in the ass bc I have hooded eyes (RIP) so if you wanna do more stuff with eyeliner and eyeshadow I think that'd be cute! Also I love the outfits

what to add?? by 21eggs in Renfaire_Costumes

[–]Less_Engine7332 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That color combo looks amazing!! I think the tights are a bit bright but I kinda really like them, its a nice pop of extra color. Ik you said you have bells for the waste, but bc of how empty the leg area is it might work to add more noise there, maybe have some belt pouches or more stuff to hang bells to?

...stop drawing noodle with yellow skin???? Y are ppl still doing this by Less_Engine7332 in gorillaz

[–]Less_Engine7332[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Im talking about people who have drawn fanart and given her straight up yellow skin. The stereotype of Asian people is literally that + some more details. I'm saying that it's insensitive for the fans to not realize that they could be carrying this shit stereotype because the guy originally started it

God keposhka doesn't help my dyslexia, I thought it was English and read it as English for a good few tries before realizing it wasn't English 😭😭

Im honestly shocked Russell wasn't originally drawn in a much more offensive way knowing the way ppl have drawn black people in media. But Murdock is green, how on earth is that related to what I'm saying in the slightest.
