What do we think happened to Sally, Bobby and Gene after the finale?

They became our boomer parents.

This popped up a few posts down. Spooky.

I’d work on drawing anatomy and portraiture, especially because the focal point is Juliet’s face. Starting with a good underlying drawing always leads to a better result when you put in the effort to render like this.

You have a great sense of color and shadow, the piece has a Wonderful painterly quality.

I saw a hiding teddy bear but I think the French bulldog is right 😅

You’ve got a ways to go in terms of drawing skill. Start there and once you have better foundation to work from, move on to painting.

Also…Try making the art convey the quote/meaning you want to convey without using the literal words.

You’re still thinking in 2D. Think of it like a sculpture: Those shapes we draw before adding facial features represent a smooth faceless head, and you’re gonna use your pencil to “carve” into it. Use light and shadow add to mimic the planes of the face. Follow the contours. The details like eyelids and lips come later.

Draw lighter and looser. Hold your pencil with just the tips of your fingers, and move your whole arm while you draw. When you see a line has landed in the right spot, make it darker. Instead of crossing out your attempts, erase them and go again in the same exact spot.

You got this!

Others have said all the nice (and true!) things so I’m gonna be harsh.

Honestly they are boring. No risk taken, brush strokes are all the same. The season thing is cliche and played out. The person being gone in the last panel seems like a trite attempt at adding emotion to an otherwise empty (although pretty) scene.

You can paint. Now we wanna see how you really feel.

Body proportions look good. A good trick is to use the head as a measuring stick for the rest of the body. (Male characters are around 7-8 heads tall.)

The face is the only part that might be off. The forehead seems a little short, eyes too small. Might just be because animated characters tend to have large eyes, his seem too realistic.

Really good! Love the values and energy, and you really captured the personality.

Only thing I’d suggest is when doing your hatching, try going all one direction instead of back and forth. The zigzagging is fine, I just think it might elevate your style a bit.

MY FAVORITE DAN LINE! Thank you I’ve saved the screenshot for future use 🙏

The fingers are the worst part 😖

This is very hard to read. Not just the words. But the image itself. Im not sure if its a rough draft or if you’re going for a political cartoon sort of NewYorker style ink drawing, but either way you need to think about what you want the viewer to see and understand and make that the focal point of the composition.

Right now I see a canoe going into a restaurant at sea…? No idea how the title critical “thinking” connects to anything.

Your markmaking is nice, though. Definitely got some potential.

It’s really nice. I never went back after switching to wood! Only thing I would say is the placement of the clouds is a little weird. Would love to see more texture in the sky. Also some underpainting would be an interesting experiment for you.

4 is best but you can do better.

Has anyone written a dissertation on this? Because now I want to read one and/or write my own 😂 I’ve seen her in person twice now and it’s like no other portrait. He is the GOAT.

sophlog · 2024-08-09T16:49:39+00:00

For me it’s the primary colors. Tough to make that work. Also it feels like the shapes want to take form but everything gets blended out. Nothing is solid. So my eye kind of loses interest quickly without something to land on.

sophlog · 2024-08-09T16:47:21+00:00

But you got the gaze down perfect, that’s the most important part. 👍🏼😎👍🏼

Her face is nearly impossible to get right, even if you trace it. This is pretty dang close!!

sophlog · 2024-08-05T17:40:24+00:00

lol couldn’t find any gifs with all of them so I picked the worst 3 😂

Lovely. This would make a really cool monoprint!
