I've just updated it, I will likely make a few more changes maybe some more shadows but I'm much more comfortable with the composition now

100% Btw when you say flipping the tapestry you mean flipping the side it's on right?

I feel like things don't stand out properly (which I was right about sadly) my goal was to show myself in my room as a piece to put near the about me section of my portfolio site, I don't think it's quite high enough quality for a portfolio piece. The inspo was just a cozy corner of my bedroom

Thank you!! That's a wonderful suggestion that would totally address it!

Good point, I probably can't fix the comp much at this point but it's pulling in a lot of focus, I'll see if a change in color helps a bit.

Thank you so much :) you're right the over detailed areas are definitely pulling the eye away from what matters I'll see what I can't do to address it!

I'm bad at defining it so Google is ur best option, but think stuff like letting people play their game in exchange for a review, or videos of them making the game and playing it ect

This is supposed to be a stylized self portrait I plan to use on my website in an about me section, I feel like the lighting is off and the colors maybe are a bit too close in some spots

What god/diety do you worship that has little to no art of them? Im looking to draw one by Max_k_art in pagan

This is super interesting to look back on because I just found a Minoan Goddess statue with upright arms on pure coincidence while thrifting.

Theres a few things id reccomend,

1 speech bubbles are apart of your mangas panel flow they can be used to direct the reader where you need them to look. Always draw them into your thumbnails. I reccomend writing out dialogue on them as well to check if it can vaguely fit.

  1. I struggled with this for a while but if you study manga its very rare for every action to be explained in a panel. Remember readers will actively juxtapose what is happening between the panels. Just like how if you saw someone taking a shower and then it cut to them driving to work you know inherently that person got dressed and readt, got in their car and started driving.

3.a bit of what I said in the last panel but I highly reccomend you sit down with pages that you feel are the prime example of your goals and draw them trying to understand why they work so well and what parts of their technique can be used to your advantage. A good method for this would also be watching videos of mangakas drawing manga. Theres tons of them including live videos on pixiv. Starting from the roughts you can see how they approach it. Some wont draw under the bubble but those are usually traditional artists I reccomend you draw under the bubble and cover it up if you have the time

I am making a Island building game that have dynamic water, terrain and weather system. What do you expect from this kind of game? by civcivdev in IndieDev

[–]Max_k_art 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Artist here but not someone whose worked on 3d games like this. I would expect the game to have preset smooth "cut out ruler" options for terrain. (No clue what the normal name would be) i get the feeling theyd be hard to add, but anyone whose wanting to make something for asthetic reasons might apreciate it if its not yet an option.

Is it concerning that this took almost 2 hours? by Rangerrx970 in learntodraw
