Do you have a piece of your art that you love in every way, but hate one detail and think it ruins the whole thing?

In this piece, it's the halo light on the hair. The hair it looks too flat, and it fucking irritates me, even though I'm otherwise happy with everything.

Share your work and tell me what detail really pisses you off in what you consider a perfect piece

yeah. i know the problem. its that you are getting tripped up on that one part. I didn't even notice that part really. I just saw the whole thing.

I just wanted to create a beautiful accent on this hair, to make it look deeper and more voluminous, but it turned out flat and dull. It looks like small clumps of hair are simply glued to my head. I didn't achieve what I wanted, so I'm drawing attention to this detail; I think this is the case with all artists
>>
>>7879698
im gonna burst your bubble and say that the entire image is pretty flat, so rendering 3d shapes into his hair wouldve made the flatness of everything else stand out.
honestly it looks fine as it is, there's something to be said about going too far into one style and it throwing off the entire piece.
>>
>>7883811
I don't know, everything below the face doesn't seem flat to me. On the contrary, what's below is precisely the effect I wanted in this particular drawing. As for the style, this piece was actually experimental (in terms of colors and brushes, for example). But thank u haha

What do you think of my weed pipe?

It was an old broke stone pipe, so I took some cotton wood which I grew myself (harvested a decent amount of cotton as well) the wood is light but durable, and I made it into that shaft.

Sealed it with rosin pitch I made myself, waxed with bees wax

Works great, the cotton wood filters out a ton of gung while still allowing a free flow

Straight pipe no clutch

its like the pink one on the picture but it broke, it had enough of a stub to be able to fit into a 1/2 inch hole in the wood, I drilled a smaller hole on the otherside, carved down the mouth part a bit, and sealed the union of the stone and wood with pitch

its a pretty artsy pipe, if its find on a burial in 10000 years its going to end up in a museum

I consider character design to be reliant on problem solving besides "artistic quality", so with that in mind:

What is the purpose of the character? How do they act, like personality-wise? What is their main problem they wish to solve during their story/development as characters (assuming there's some sort of story to speak of)? The design should facilitate at least some of these kinds of questions

In a complete vacuum, I can only give more aimless criticism, but I do think the colors could be better, for a cartoon style, the colors seem to blend too much, like the beak-mouth-thing and the hair are adjacent and still have very similar colors, and I feel they don't go that well with the green

I had forgotten about the ants until a few weeks ago when I was at El Rocio tianguis, Ecatepec, at Mota's stall with Lucrazy and Karreras. So I felt a burning sensation on my left eyelid. At first I thought it was an annoying pimple, but then Lucrazy noticed that an ant was biting my eyelid.
Based on this event, the Lord of the Wind, Ehecatl, I suppose, threw that ant from the top of the Sierra de Guadalupe, and it fell right on me as a sign that I should return to my higher passions. So I carefully picked up the little ant, making sure not to kill it, removed it from my skin, and placed it with the others that were walking at my feet.

I couldn't believe what happened with Droopy. Life is full of surprises, as they say.

So, motivated by these events, I looked for some images that could illustrate what was happening in those early days of 2022.

I was in the anthill, strangely comfortable for an anxious mammal like me. While the queen ant had me in her possession, she showered me with tranquility, and one day turned into another and another, like an opium tea, but better. Meanwhile, I noticed that leafcutter ants are masters in their field, and I was filled with admiration.

I tied her to her abdomen with spider silk and attached her to my ears to get out.

NTA but if you want my /beg/ ass critique, your newer drawing feels very stiff and flat compared to your 2023 version especially with the body. I also checked your construction practice on twitter because I'm a deranged stalker, you have a decent grasp with boxes but you really need to take more care with using your cylindrical contour lines since you have a habit of drawing them way too thin or as straight lines and flattening out your construction which is apparent with your hands.

Has patreon increased the age of consent for fictional drawings to 21 years now? this is just getting silly at this point... can't have 18-20 year olds boinking it...

the artist is really good at drawing though, by the way... they use hipolink though so they're probably not in the US where this stuff doesn't matter (yet!).

Actually based . Age of consent and voting should be raised to 21.

Voting should be allowed for everyone aged 15 to 55. Politicans should also not be allowed to be over 60.

Probably some artists thought they can draw loli and then hide behind a "all characters are 9000 years old" disclaimer in their Twitter bio.
Recently Patreon made it a rule that context outside of the drawing doesn't matter anymore.
>>
>>7884201

i'm not sure what i hate more: patreon the company, or artists turning to subscriptionmaxxing as a business model and introducing the concept of rent to the creative world.

Thoughts on Vantablack?

Anybody used it on a project?
6 replies and 1 image omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>7880157
vantablack is applied in lab conditions, it's not actually paint or a pigment, the darkness comes from trapping light between carbon tubes oriented perpendicularly to the surface, which can't happen outside of a lab
that's why it's not sold, because they can't
>>
>>7880157
saw a guy on YouTube use it on a sculpture, looked pretty cool

You could probably create some really good contrast in a painting with this

I legit can't finish this, my eyes are watering from staring at the screen too much yesterday. i need a few days of rest. i didn't have the chance match Toriyama's art or to finish the legs, and i probably made him too old and mean to your liking.
Here's at least a half finished redraw. Maybe it will do more harm than good but fuck it.

>chance match Toriyama's art
closer than OhPeh. the hands are pretty neat, simple but very nicely done. OP just needs a lot more practice, we all started somewhere. i have some embarassing ones from 20 years ago i wouldnt dare share again

great piece, keep going
>>
>>7880374
I can tell this piece took a lot of effort and I commend you for it.

The piece however feels very flat, and the linework comes off as very monotonous due to your habit of using hard black lines to convey everything. If you compare your drawing to Toriyama, he uses lines to convey shape and form rather than just "outline" it like the way you have done here. Just do more 1:1 copies of his work and try to understand _why_ he chose to do X and Y.

Also, practice drawing basic volumes in perspective as well as gesture drawing to get a feel for how to convey bodies in different poses and views. It'll loosen up your drawings and make it easier to draw dynamic, interesting poses while also keeping it believable. Keep it up bossman.

60 second gesture drawing is shit because it made me stressed about running out of time now I do unlimited time gesture drawing until I feel its finished and I've made a lot more progress

>>
>>7882432
You know you don't really have to stop at 60 secs? You won't get in trouble if you take a bit longer or even go back to the gesture so you can make it more complete!

60 sec gestures is more of an exercise to get loose rather than to create beautiful gestures imo 120secs+ would actually be more in the wheel house of actual gestures. They're also great for getting to know a new medium without fear of messing up because there's so little time investment.

Hello. First time I come here because I thought I could get a cool idea from you.
What I am looking for are pictures, in black and white with high contrast of faces, bodies or maybe objects.
I did pic related, but I can't find any good image to use as reference.

early balding happened because your hair didnt get sufficient blood flow in there. Younguns tend to get bald early because they keep looking down on their phone, their tablet, or their laptop instead of looking them at eye-level perspective. Does that mean too much blood flow to your head is good? Not really, because if you get too much blood flow in that area it will give you indirect 'heat' to your scalp that will harm hair folicle and weaken the hair, eventually gives you balding as well. Jogging and running is good to maintain hair strength but too much exposure to sun when you jog outside will make your hair thinner and balding.
