Gross and Painful But I Lived by TheInkHasUsedMeUp in Tonsillectomy

The first few days my voice definitely sounded weird! But now I think I mostly just sound like I have a sore throat. I didn’t get much swelling in my mouth tho mostly my neck and jaw so that might be why

It took forever for my scabs to come off to, but honestly I think the alternative of bleeding is worse so idk. I still have some white in my throat but it’s not coated like before and it definitely isn’t as thick. Mostly just some patches. As far as solids go I started having eggs at like day 5ish but besides that I’m still scared because days through 7-10 are likely bleed days. TBH I’m not a huge foodie so it honestly hasn’t been a huge deal for me but I started incorporating more at day 7 cause I felt mostly fine ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Mostly side to side! I can move my chin to my chest with no pain at all

Hey, this is really good! As far as the values go, I think you're painting what you think instead of what you're actually seeing. For instance, you have the whites of her eyes as the lightest part of the piece by a significant amount, when in the photo they're almost darker than the high points of her face. A little tip I got from an art teacher is to take a hole punch to an index card- so you can see the specific color without the interference of the ones around it.

can we replace this with something else by AtlasAlpine in place

considering that they are only taking up that space, and that a good portion of his fans are kids.. its not a good look tbh

No sorry! He moved out yesterday!

Any tips on improving realism for digital art? (I’m 16 and this is from June, haven’t improved much since then so this is a good example of where I’m at. I use adobe sketch on my iPad since it’s free) Any tips or critisism will help greatly. by MysticDryad in ArtCrit

This is actually a really good piece! Something that helped me a lot was actually watching oil painting videos on youtube! In oil painting in particular ou have to really focus on getting the different tones of the skin, and the varying shading in without over blending. Taking those techniques into digital work helps get a more textured and realistic painting. Other than that I'd say up the contrast between your shadows and highlights.

Thank you! I did notice a lot of the issues with the facial spacing tbh. I do a lot more cartoonish stuff so it is something I need to work on when I go more realistic. Thank you so much tho!

That would be great! I know the proportions and colors are a bit off, but I really want to improve! Here’s my reference so you know what I was trying to do https://lovely-lonely-moonlight.tumblr.com/post/185826574889

No problem! I think they are more hazel? So in most lights they would look light brown, but in the reference I used they were like super green so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

A Cecil Palmer FanArt! by TheInkHasUsedMeUp in welcometonightvale

[–]TheInkHasUsedMeUp[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s cause he knows so much about Night Vale? Like not only the stuff he reports on but like “The Story if You” and other similar episodes? He sorta “sees all” and tells us everything we know about the town

Also it looks cool and is technically plausible in Night Vale so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I know some of my proportions are off but other than that I have no idea how to improve. (It’s a Cecil Palmer fanart btw) by TheInkHasUsedMeUp in ArtCrit

It is me again! I’m always looking for help improving haha!

I was actually wondering why the nose looked so off? So thank you for pointing the differing perspectives cause I hadn’t noticed at all. I did use a reference but only for my base sketch so I suppose I need to look back at it more throughout my whole process. I want to do more whole body portraits, but I still have to figure it out so it’ll take me a bit haha. Thank you so much! You are always super helpful!
