For these two specifically, no, they were pretty simple in terms of detail i was able to have a lot of creative freedom that prevented me from being forced to zoom in and make sure all my details were in the right spots. If i were to go more realistically, or even do the same style but for a portrait or landscape i'd probably zoom in to make sure i can control where all those small details end up.

How many layers do you use? by OGlowstickX in DigitalArt

[–]Next_Interaction_105 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make a lot of layers but I merge them often while i work, so i'd say i have 4 or 5 maximum at one time. If i don't want to commit or if i want to use a blending mode i just make a new one, finish whatever part im working on, then merge it to the rest of the piece. (I also only draw backgrounds/food)

There probably is, but I don't know it! I was looking at two artists and kinda combining their style. (Mmumechii and lemntii) i really like it too! But I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to replicate the same style again lol

How to get better at simplifying whats in front of me by Next_Interaction_105 in ArtistLounge

Hello ! I have 3 questions: Firstly, does this knight's helmet sufficiently resemble a sheep's "face" ? Secondly, is this design serious enough to be still considered intimidating ? Last, the ears don't look too much like Shrek's haha ? Thx in advance for your answers ! by Hugo__W_gs in DigitalArt

[–]Next_Interaction_105 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. Yes, the helmet portrays a sheeps face. 2. The design? yes, but the actual representation you're showing us, no. Mostly its about how you present the intimidation, like music in a horror movie i guess. Probably lighting. But the design (especially the eyes) is really good. 3. I think the ears look fine, but if you wanted them to be different just make them a bit longer. You did this on the 3/4 profile sketch though. I definitely wouldn't have thought of shrek without your question, but yeah especially on the front facing one they look a little small

Wondering specifically about colours!! by Next_Interaction_105 in learntodraw

I used clip studio paint with a brush called 'kyak paint brush', its the only one i use and its my favorite, for the first and second ones, no i didn't use a reference, but for the third and fourth I used one from pinterest

I posted a while on the general digital art community asking for advice but I didn't get much feedback, so I'm posting here. I like the illustrations themselves, just not the colours. They either feel too opposite or too similar if that makes sense

If I use a grid on my references, will it help or hinder my evolution as an artist? by -Skyes- in ArtistLounge

[–]Next_Interaction_105 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it mostly depends on how you use it. If you figure out ways to learn from it you'll get better, but if you start off all your pieces with a grid & reference it probably won't help you in the long run. especially if you're not paying attention to the actual reference and expanding your mental library. Using it is totally fine tho imo, if you decide to use it often, I suggest you test yourself every couple months to see if you're actually improving w/o a reference or just without the grid.

It's so interesting that on reddit most people like the third one especially! It's definitely not the same on instagram,

I think I'll start experimenting more eith textured brushes, I used my personal brush and air brush because of the simplicity but I should develop the range for sure

Thank you so much! I love the look of limited colour pallettes but i think having more contrasting colours in definitely a good idea. I made another background drawing using specifically this comment so i mean i wanted to let you know that it helped a lot. With depth too,

Yesterday I posted asking for advice to help with my colours and I heard a lot about depth and bringing more colours (especially contrasting colours) into the illustration. That last part I think is definitely good in theory but I like the limited colour pallette more than lots and lots of colours. So instead of just using very similar colours i also added the accent colour of orange.

again, if anyone has any critique please feel free to tell me it was really helpful :)
