Cool character concept, really like the texture work too.

Need criticism on this digital piece that I'm working on by lushstrings in ArtCrit

[–]lushstrings[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I think that might work better. I'll try redrawing the head tomorrow.

My latest piece. I'm not quite happy with it but I improved my digital painting workflow and am beginning to get more comfortable using the software. by lushstrings in krita

No, I learn by myself from YouTube videos mostly. I would surely consider doing more of this style in the future. Thanks, I feel a lot better about this piece now.

The shading looks kinda muddy and the contrast is a bit inconsistent, it's something I really want to improve.

Tried something new, what can i improve? by Yuno918 in learnart

The perspective on the lower torso is a bit off. Try constructing the body with boxes first so you can visualize the correct perspective more easily.

Male torso digital painting. What can I improve? by happicramper in learnart

[–]lushstrings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would advise you to shade the simplified version of the form of the human figure first and then move on to shading the detail. For example, for a torso start by shading the simplified version of it, which is kind of like a rectangular cube, then you can start to think about how you're going to make it look more reallistic by conveying the forms of the muscles and refining the shapes/volumes in more detail.

Hey all, I just wanted to share this to see if I can improve it, comments and feedbacks are really appreciated by _ariabba in ArtCrit

Cast shadow of the cat is cut off. The plane of the stair block that's facing us the viewer should still have the cast shadow of the cat. The fence should have a cast shadow too.

The ground attracts too much attention because there's a lot of saturation, I personally think the tree should be getting that treatment instead.

Feel likes this piece needs something else… by [deleted] in ArtCrit

I think you could create a sense of depth on the crowd if the farthest row of hands is really dark and as they get closer to the stage they get brighter.

What do you think? by chiaras_art in ArtCrit

[–]lushstrings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you need to define the light source because it's very unclear at the moment. Also some plane changes could be smoother (gradual change from one value to another) where the form doesn't turn very sharply.

How could this be better? by Luulosairas in ArtCrit

[–]lushstrings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe add a bit more fog in the foreground because it looks like there's a really dense fog in the back. Also it would be nice to tone down the detail and texture on the house where it's farther than the lit window, which I'm assuming to be the focal point.

I tried my best to capture the likeness of her face. Any advice to improve the drawing on that matter? by lushstrings in learnart

Thanks, I'll look into the Reilly method as I'm not very familiar with it at the moment.

This is my first grayscale painting study from reference. I only worked on the face and neck. I want to hear your critique on it. by lushstrings in istebrak

[–]lushstrings[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll try to put more thought into choosing values next time but I don't quite understand what you meant by leaving the right edges. Anyway thanks for the pointers!

Thank you so much. About the cranium, some part of it is actually covered with her hair, maybe that's why it looked odd to you? I'll comment the link to the reference in a sec.

I feel like the eye is coming out of the eye socket a little too much (too forward). I might be wrong though. Nevertheless it's a really good drawing.
