I CAN'T PAINT
Acrylic landscape on cardboard from a few months ago. Yeah, I suck and will be a permabeg because I lack discipline. It is what it is.
Cozy simplification. I’ve enjoyed seeing my sketching power level increase quickly despite never deliberately practicing it
>>7742374Thoughts on hybrid drawing?Like sketching on paper and then tracing it to make a digital piece
>>7742622Its nice overall. But the outlines on the house are too harsh, compared to the soft washes.>>7742657If you want use it for the final lines, its hard. Doing sketches is on paper come out more natural, its easier to make your drawings flow (if you have the skill of course).I did it, but i never stuck to this pipeline. I just do a very rough sketch and 97% of work is painting over it.
>>7742571Clouds are decent. But i dont get the bottom part. Why are the trees on the horizon the warmest spots in the entire painting?The color perspective is a rule that you should follow strictly, probably up to high int or higher. It's probably one of the hardest rules to break.
>>7742710Thanks. The “trees” are a formation of reddish rocks along the skyline. The forms aren’t good though. Yeah, color perspective is a motherfucker. I saw a simple trick of adding increasing amounts sky color to whatever you mix to cool and lighten receding objects. One reason why I’m planning to move to oils is that any mixes on the palette dry too fast. Cheers anon
>>7742622nice
>>7742782My best advice for colors is to just keep trying to incorporate principles like neutralizing and blue shifting. Even if the results are frustrating right now, eventually it’s effortless to go from vivid to mud and back again. I’m always surprised how much control I feel over it.This one is kinda a failure of atmospheric perspective, but I tried. I like it overall anyway
>>7742782>I saw a simple trick of adding increasing amounts sky color to whatever you mix to cool and lighten receding objects.You dont really need tricks. Mixing colder and warmer mixes is a fundamental skill.But sure, mixing in the sky color makes sense, its more or less what happens in reality.Acrylics for noobs is hardcore mode.Its by far the hardest of the popular mediums. Hard but not rewarding.
Something I did for an art assignment (don't be mean, this was one of my first paintings ever since 3rd grade) also yeah it's HH
Thoughts? Second time drawing this beautiful statue of st Joan. Will probably draw it many times again

>>7743005no need to rub it in
>>7743133>no need to rub it in? lol
>>7742870Thanks, I’ll keep at it. I think moving to oils will let me slow down and not rush. Acrylics just dry too fast even with a stay-wet palette and slow dry medium. >this one is kinda a failure of atmospheric perspective I think I see what you mean, but goddam that dark valued blue next to the foam of the wave in the foreground is just pure sex. Love the shadows of the rocks on the beach too.
>>7742916>HHHeil Hitler?
>>7742622This is the nicest work I've ever seen in this shithole board. Is this from your own reference?
is there a good book or course on soft pastels?
>>7743492Do you know any other nazis except Hitler?
>>7743577Herman Höring
>>7743577Heinrich Himmler
How's my fruit?
>>7743781lol
>>7743533there are much better artists here, but I appreciate it. It was just off of an unsplash one. >>7743782For me, it’s the shadows on the apple. Nice one. I’m not an expert, but I think they might be being held back by the lack of a highlight on the right side. It’d have to be pretty strong light from a single direction to produce a hard shadow like that. I think that means it’d produce a highlight as well
>>7743794yeah, you're probably right on the apple shadow
>>7743724Bingo
>>7743821kek, I didn't even open the image, I thought I was memeing
>>7743782Not too good. Try grisaille first, maybe.
>>7742622Very nice work
We had some conflicts here but I've taken a lot of you bluds advices here and they have helped good sheit ty UwU, still a bit to go but almost gett'n there
>>7744283much better, bud, much better. I like the shadows on the ground and on the dress. I still think you can exaggerate the difference in saturation in the different layers, but it's ok. Just keep that in mind in the future
>>7743577sydney sweeny and the ss guard ftom wolfenstein 3d
>>7744283I found this painting that reminded me of yours. Look at how the saturation recedes into the background. That's what you should strive for.
>>7742916it sucks, but I lost interest before I finished the drawing
>>7744886gotcha i vill try maybe next one or this one
>>7745026notice how the loss of saturation happens in the sky: the point furthest away from us is right at the horizon, and then as you move towards the top of the page the sky gets more and more saturated, because that's the sky closest to us. Basically, the opposite effect that happens with the ground.
>>7745029wew its like a saturation cone towards the vanishing point very interesting
>>7745277I’m not that guy, but yes. Fog is when the moisture in the air is very high, but there’s always “something” in the air obstructing light. It’s not perfectly clear. How near or far an object is determines how much air is between the viewer and the object. Also, everything usually shifts towards blue in the distance.I practiced neutralizing colors to make different grays e.g. blue-gray, reddish-gray, etc…In general, a painting will look much better if you emphasize the atmospheric perspective much more than a photo will
