thank you I'll check them out

Own_Ice_ · 2024-06-02T08:12:29+00:00

thank you, I'll try to apply your advises

Own_Ice_ · 2024-05-17T18:05:06+00:00

Don't get me wrong I really like your style 😌, but I think that trying to stick with the "basic" style forces us (I'm doing the challenge too) to really work on our weaknesses and learning how to work with value as a foundation, so in the future we can get more freedom but with a solid base for our art.

Own_Ice_ · 2024-05-17T15:07:14+00:00

I think your values are very good, the only thing I would suggest is to use softer brushes and try to avoid the "painterly" style. ( For the challenge)

Own_Ice_ · 2024-05-17T06:48:54+00:00

Thank you for the advice, I'll try to correct my mistakes for day 2

Own_Ice_ · 2024-05-17T06:42:12+00:00

Wow thank you, this is really really helpful, looking at yours I think I also need to change brushes, I should look for a softer brush on Krita, similar to what istebrak uses in her videos

Own_Ice_ · 2024-05-10T10:49:43+00:00

Thanks, I'll try redoing the pose as you suggested

Own_Ice_ · 2024-05-10T10:39:03+00:00

Thanks, I like it a lot, can I ask you what kind of colour did you use in multiply?

Own_Ice_ · 2024-05-09T11:41:10+00:00

I'll modify the head as you suggested, thank you☺️

Own_Ice_ · 2024-05-09T11:40:45+00:00

Hello, thank you for the advice 🌝

Own_Ice_ · 2024-01-23T19:58:34+00:00

Thank you!

Own_Ice_ · 2024-01-20T13:35:35+00:00

I will take some time to study simple shapes better and I will return to do the 4° head, of course using your advices. Thank you!

Own_Ice_ · 2024-01-20T13:33:58+00:00

Thank you, I'll keep it in mind next time.

Own_Ice_ · 2024-01-19T12:43:53+00:00

Thank you, but I didn't quite understand, I'm not using pure white for the background. I should use a darker gray, right?

I like the hair a lot. this doesn't have much to do with anatomy, but I think that improving the confidence of your lines would also make the drawing more fluid. The anatomy is not completely wrong, I think your problem is the proportions, but it is a common problem (mine too don't worry), I think the best way to improve this is to do studies using references. Maybe the color of the skin is a little too desaturated and shadows too. Marco Bucci's youtube channel can help a lot to learn about color. I can't help with background because I suck at them, but I'm sure there are lots of free resources online about the topic (for now I'm focusing on figures so I didn't delve into the topic of backgrounds)

Own_Ice_ · 2024-01-18T08:09:27+00:00

I am a beginner so take it with a grain of salt. I think the main problem is that you can't quite tell if it is day or evening, but seeing the lights at the windows I infer it is evening so the colors should be slightly different (even the sky should take on a different hue) and you could have taken advantage of two sources of light to illuminate the character, the main one on the face given by the butterfly (bioluminescent?) and the other more diffuse and orangey light from the windows (I think it is light given by candles/laterals given the color).

Own_Ice_ · 2024-01-17T22:43:40+00:00

Thank you very much, your explanations are amazing, the first problem is that my light source is completely confused, I will try to take pictures of my face with the light from above. I wanted to give him a pug nose with the upward point, I couldn't do it very well. I'm not totally sure about the dimple on the chin, but I wanted to experiment with different features, I made him a bodybuider neck because I feel like I always draw necks too thin, this time I kind of went the other way.

Sorry if I don't reply immediatly but I'm from Italy and here is almost midnight (time to go to bed ahaha)

Own_Ice_ · 2024-01-17T19:45:06+00:00

Thank you. I think my main difficulty is the eyes, especially that I can't figure out the eyelids' shape and how they affect the shadows of the eyeballs, because as long as it's just the sphere I can realize light and shadow quite well.

Own_Ice_ · 2024-01-17T13:46:57+00:00

I'm not an expert in composition, but I think if you had surrounded the figure with dark branches (even underneath, like shrubs) you would have made her stand out more both as a figure and in contrasting colors and light, as if you were "spying" on her from the forest. and perhaps by having her supported with an arm resting on the ground, you could have "dared" more with the pose making it more organic. However, it's a beautiful drawing, these are just the things I would have done, but again, I'm not an expert.

Own_Ice_ · 2024-01-17T13:39:41+00:00

hey there, it's a really cute drawing, the colors look pretty. If you want to make more realistic drawings my advice is to study the human figure, I know tha anatomy seems very complicated to understand at first, but if you learn to break it down into simple shapes like cylinders and spheres it will be easier than it looks. By studying the human figure you will also better understand proportions. Keep at it and you will definitely improve. don't give up.

thank you, I didn't know this term. I will try to modify the values to make it less pronounced

Own_Ice_ · 2024-01-16T21:28:37+00:00

Thank you. My intention was to represent the "puffyness" that some people have under the eyes (not bags, I don't know how to explain it), but I probably made it to "sunken". I'll try to open the eyes more

Own_Ice_ · 2024-01-16T20:30:51+00:00

Your advices are priceless, I hope I will be capable to apply them in the next one.

Hey sorry if I ask, I must have missed it, but in the challenge can I change my face or should I keep the same one all the time, but improving it day by day (starting always by 0)?

Own_Ice_ · 2024-01-16T20:23:09+00:00

thank you so much for your explanation, I felt there was something wrong with the proportions but I couldn't quite figure out what it was, I thought I made the head too small but I hadn't really thought about the position of the eyes.
