hello nature frens. i'll post some that i already posted last thread just because i haven't had time to paint/draw much lately.
this one's new- made it for a worldbuilding project of mine
oh my fucking god i hate 4chan's file size limit
>>7281055Begfag here. Tips for adding detail to a landscape, or anywhere I can look for advice on the matter?
Don't fuckin let this one die, too, faggots. Bump.
Practicing anime background
>>7283122not joking but go watch bob ross and look at how he adds details and try to find brushes that can replicate it or try to make your ownthe default chalk brush in photoshop is a decent starting point
>>7283122what the other anon said, honestly. also, this video halped me a lot with understanding how to add detail to my paintings, even if in the video the man's talking about drawing.>https://youtu.be/jgDYlmRwXF8i also like watching speed paints, trying to analyze what, how and why the artists are doing what they're doing, even better of course when they *explain* their decisions.>https://youtu.be/jPITA8Zc0lYi love this guy's channel. i really like his art and his speedpaints have helped me a lot, from composition, to color, to details.
>>7283122Check out this bookEssential Techniques of Landscape Drawing: Master the Concepts and Methods for Observing and Rendering Nature https://a.co/d/hysfVGL
Just started learning watercolor, what should I draw? Any animal reccomendations?
and my best watercolor painting so far
>>7284143>>7284145Very nice work anon. Try a tiger, maybe? To expand your color range
>>7284150I originally wrote "Good suggestion, I struggle with tigers a bit, actually, but I'm willing to try", but I remembered that I already drew one recently again.
Also have this griffin, although I edited it digitally a bit, if you can notice
Cool, a new thread>>7284143draw a horse
>>7284346mr. horse?!
Does this qualify?
>>7283047YOUJUSTKNOW
>>7286265we just know that you're mentally ill
>>7286252Could be an intentional stylistic choice, but I think varying your line thickness more would look good with your style.
>>7284150New tiger
>>7287198Very nice work anon, I really love your style
+failed donkey and tiger>>7286252I feel like your eyes are too cartoony to be real cats, they look like warriors, but I have this problem too (or it might be intentional)
>>7283624Start focusing on the shapes and materials. How light interacts with a reflective surface, how colors change hue depending on the lightsource and try to block them out as 3D objects almost resembling that cotton candy stuff.Also don't be afraid to study challenging perspective or subject matter.A street view, the setting sun, lots of bounced light and maybe some building still being lit up by it, a car in the foreground, some people walking, reflections in the asphalt, ambient shadows all over the place.You grow by challenging yourself.In this particular painting you could add a new layer and practise reflections on the surface of the water. Also the clouds (particularly the top ones) are a bit flat.If you're working with a reference don't be afraid to alter and stray from it.

>>7284346I'm gonna have to learn to draw them first so please feel free to point out mistakes>>7288425Third one looks like Play with Gilbert
>>7281055
>>7287200fair remark, feline eyes are hard to do. Cute art
there is clearly no need for a thread like this. 90% of the posts are bumps, and if it reaches 50 posts in a month its saying a lot.just use the other 2 threads we have for this, either beg+int or trad
i like nature
>>7302648That's fair. Won't force another thread after this one dies, but I'll keep this one up until it dies since it's allready been made.
>>7302648>we need to make room for more off topic ai/porn/bait/twitter drama/whining threadsNo, fuck off.
>>7302648This is one of the only good threads on this board. So no. Plus 90% of the posts aren’t bump, there are plenty of pieces here
>>7302648Fuck you this thread is based and naturepilled. Hide it and go hang out in coom general if you hate it so much.
>>7309804>>7308043>>73080316 posts in 7 days since I posted that. 5 of those were replies to my post (1 from OP himself) and 1 was a bump also from OP.I do like nature and trad work, but theres not enough participation in this thread to make it worth, the first post was a bump ffs. This is basically OP's blog. There is nothing he is achieving here that he couldnt achieve on the trad or int generals. He'd get more people appreciating / critiquing his work that's for sure.The only thing we miss out on are the links, but if OP gets them in a single pastebin link I guess they could be incorporated into beg+int's OP
>>7310284Cope, seethe, dilate, etc. Over half the posts are people posting their work. If you think this thread breaks a rule, report and hide, otherwise fuck off. Simple as that.
>>7310705gorgeous brushwork!
Crossposting one of my nature studies>>7310284IMO amount of drawings posted is more important than a speed of the thread. It's more useless to have quick threads where everyone argues and no one draws, which negates the purpose of this board in the first place (drawing).
>>7312484cool picbump
>>7316990Thank you, skull-kun
>>7310705This is really fucking nice, bottom left especially. I look forward to seeing more of your work
Apologies for the bad picture, but I'm not shelling out for a scanner just yet.>>7310718>>7317209Thank you! >>7312484>>7314824>>7316990Based skull bros
>>7314824>>7316990Very nice drawings, I love seeing them in different styles>>7318086Beautiful work per usual. Top right bird is my favorite, and the one right under it would make a sick ass tattoo
>>7318086>but I'm not shelling out for a scanner just yetYou can literally get a scanner for less than $100.

>>7318860nice contour flow on the shading
Calling this one “silent garden.” onto a bull next
Is it possible to get true color on a laptop when studying outside? Cameras don't capture light like eyes can.

>>7353034How could you know it's a turd if haven't finished it yet? If you're good at adding details and texture I think it could look really good.

done my first bob ross while learning some krita. I fudged the trees a bit but managed to salvage it a little.I want to add some basic structures and I want to move on to doing wild night skies like 70s sci-fi skyscapes.
>>7310705pretty ink
>>7284143Cats dont smile

Here’s a watercolor I did inspired by a trip to the museum
i fucking love clouds and the sky, decided to finally start painting them
>>7375250>>7377277beautiful work
I can’t for the life of me decide what to do in the foreground ( I was going to cut off the white water with a palm sit it doesn’t look as good with this perspective)Please advise
>>7380002thank you anon
>>7364490holy shit wow!
friendly bump >>7380780>>7383120>>7390845>>7394207Beautiful work
>>7396947Thank you anon
Finally done with thisThis is a painting of a picture I took while traveling in California earlier this year, I embellished/stylized the hell out of the clouds and mountains from the original picNext time I'll make sure to stick exclusively to references only; winging it when stylizing the clouds and mountains myself to 'look better' than the pic really has them looking more fucked up and cartoonish than I wanted... oh well...and also, sorry for using my stylized clouds as an example in the last thread a few months ago as advice to 'use references' when drawing clouds, because I didn't even take my own fucking advice!!! lol
>>7401915gorgeous and makes me nostalgic.
>>7401915>>7399306Beautiful work all. This general never fails to surprise me
>>7404673:]>>7401915I like this place in this picture.
