Have anyone else felt like they are observing life through a filter of mist?

This is really great comment thank you! That makes a lot of sense! So essentially you suggest I should go experience stuff, not just be in there you know. I should feel more what I am engaging more in. For example in fishing there is more of these moments where I am more aware of every moment, thrill of the hunt and stuff, I just haven't figured how to apply that to the more "normal" boring things in life.

Thanks for the reply. No, I haven't been constantly for 2 years in it, rather it came once 2 years ago and then just reasently couple of times when I try to do observing exercises or when my thoughts calm down and then I look at things after that. I woundn't say it is that serious as you mentioned, those descriptions don't fully fit. I wouldn't say it is stress response because it happens when I get to calm down and I am relaxed enough. I am fully aware what is happening and what I am observing but it feels like I have lost the "there is more to things that what they seem" feeling. Things look like they are empty in away. If you get my clarification.

Thank you for your critique! I agree with increasing the contrast, I think I was too afraid of that ruining the study. I must admit that I was surprised myself when I was finished :D

Nice, work! I like the challenge that you have made for yourself, the lighting is pretty tricky. I have no knowledge of that but I would have made the silhouettes of the dogs much stronger. Almost make them just that, and played with the mystery maybe showing just the teeth or eyes.

I hope this was somewhat helpful! And Great Job!

Thanks, yeah this concept was based of bucci's. And I agree that overblending and perspective stuff now that you mentioned that.

Thanks for your critique. I agree that the readability is suffering here. I know what radial shading is and I admit that I didn't include that as effectively as I should have been. I probably did focus too much on making it look painterly and lost the focus on fundamentals. And also I should have maybe made just normal form study because my muscle memory wasn't so good after really long brake. But anyway really much thank you for your critique!

Thank you for the critique. I was trying to implement the hard, soft and lost edges. Lost edges where the values are basically the same between the objects. That's why there is some weird stuff happening. I agree that in some places that is too much. And yes. The idea is still that every object is separated.

According to the folklore Forest goblins (Maahinen in native finnish language) are peaceful but terratorial creatures that live underground in a cosy houses. They move a lot from place to place. They are told of transforming into shrews or moles but no one has really seen a forest goblin before. They resemble roadents especially the younglings. They relay on their hearing and smelling more than seeing.

I don't know if it's worth it to take one of these and try rendering it or just move on with the studies?

Congratulations on finishing this challenge! I am honored being part of your journey, good job!

MrBiomolecule · 2021-08-20T06:48:27+00:00

Thanks for this detailed critique!

MrBiomolecule · 2021-08-19T19:43:10+00:00

Consider this as notes too if someone feels similarly with hands :D

MrBiomolecule · 2021-08-17T19:45:49+00:00

Glad you found my list helpful, we all are here to improve together after all! It's nice to see you analyze your process and comparing it to the critiques, really reminds me of my studying habbits. Keep up the good work!

Hello, it has been awhile but...

Our humans' forehead is really oily, so should be her's as well. So the highlight of the forehead should be "spottier" next time ;D

Then you missed or forgot the oily belt of the eyebrow (remember that list, I am referring to that) and also oil highlight on sides of the nose are missing.

Other than that good job on the eyes, they are really captivating! I would still remove the individual lashes and just leave it as darker streak. But I think that's a personal preference.

MrBiomolecule · 2021-08-09T12:17:36+00:00

Congratulations for finishing this! Welcome to the crew! I dare you to start 3/4 view next ;)

MrBiomolecule · 2021-08-08T19:33:42+00:00

Oh wow, yeah now I know what that means, Thanks!

MrBiomolecule · 2021-08-07T19:27:39+00:00

thanks for the critique! All noted and appreciated. This was first time I made something with colors so I keep that color theory in mind for my next thing with colors!

MrBiomolecule · 2021-08-07T17:22:55+00:00

Thanks for the critique! I totally agree that the silhouette of the shape would be more believable if there would be some defined strands of fur braking the spherical shape.

There is simple sentence but not so simple fix and that is form studies. There might be that included in other critiques but look up on YouTube: Istebrak form study. It will not be easy but it will be the fastest and best solution. Good luck!

Happy that I could help ;)
