Here are some studies from pictures, mainly focusing on getting the colors and overall composition right.

But I had a question
How do you learn the specifics?
It feels like all painting tutorials are either entirely about composition and values or specifically about rendering.
What about all the things in between like how do I paint a bunch of trees, or something that looks like a cabin, or whatever or how do i do right brush work for righting instead of doing whatever?

They don’t tell you in courses, but one of the toughest things after getting composition and values right, is not getting bored.

I feel like it isn't common knowledge that people worked on their painting for days on end or even months.

>>7859690
Aye man, ask what you wanna ask, ill try my best
>>
>>7859689
Literally. You get 90% of the painting done within the first few hours. The last 10% is a demoralizing polishfest that can take hundreds of hours. It's why any competent painter can pop out a painting that looks finished in terms of everything except polish very quickly, call it a sketch, and people will call bullshit. Most people just aren't aware how much of a soul killing time sink final render and polish is.
>>
>>7859691
Makes a lot of sense,
but it doesn’t really register especially in the digital landscape
because that 40 hour painting and the 40-minute composition look about the same from afar.
It’s like spending four hours just adding the right marks on all the tree stumps and shit.
>>
>>7859695
Impressionism is just a masterful artist's solution to polish. They'll just let their laziness be the treat for the eyes rather than the details, simplifying shapes and forms and only adding illusion of detail. The only instances you really need that mucha attention to detail splashart or centerpiece paintings that will be displayed somewhere with a lot of traffic
>>
>>7859675
>>7859675
Lol you got me. That's what I did and why I did it. But I don't understand why this wouldnt happen to clothes. Ive always thought a red shirt under an open blue sky would turn greyer. Wouldn't this happen to a red jacket blasted by a light?
>the folds are really thick, like it's leather or rubber
Yeah everytime I try to add the midtones this happens, but i cant possibly do without the midtones.
>>
OP must really hate me..
>>
>>7859698
The current version of that is character close ups with 300 different lighting and particle effects.
Like, enough with the Zelda close ups
show me a solid drawing without all the three primary colors on full saturation
>>
>>7859699
i think that happens to skin because skin is partially translucent, so when light hits it dead on it gets washed out, but when it gets hit at an angle blood gets illuminated and shit. I guess this still happens to things that arent translucent but its when theyre non-saturated, like skin is pretty washed out arleady so when it gets hit by light it becomes the color of the sun, but clothes are very saturated so the needle doesnt get moved much
>>
>>7859699
Depends on if the clothes are being hit by direct or bounce lighting from the sun. Those would shift the hue warmer. If you were to have an area where bounce lighting and ambient lighting hit, you'd get more of a grey since the sun's warm colors would be interacting with the blue of the sky. If it's in a shadow area not being hit by the sun, the blue would interact with the surface color of the material and shift towards a more warm purple pastel color which you can bump up saturation on as long as it's within your value range to give people's eyes something to munch on.
>>
>>7859667
The clothing choice and pose. The focus in other other are on the woman's body and her lack of clothing. There isn't any intention or purpose behind it other than her body, they're almost candid photos. The other has a red background, a pose, a prop, and clothes/look that match the theme of the background. It's purposeful, someone had to direct her for that photo. The difference is casual eroticism vs artistry. That isn't to say eroticism ≠ artistry, there are many sexual photos that display very high levels of artistic and creative vision, even photos of penetration or sex can be tasteful yet erotic. All comes down to the intention of the director.

Youre both right and I see where I went wrong now. I completely ignored the saturation of the jacket in comparison to the saturation of the light. Indoor light is usually a lot less saturated. Lol damn I kinda fucked up there and i was sure i was right. Thanks guys

so what is the intention and purpose behind the "more tasteful" one?

I wonder, did he constrooct?
>>
>>7859721
I'd imagine the theme is something like a femme fatale or vampiric maneater. You're just trolling now if you're saying you can't see the difference in intention between the two. Literally a girl with a voluptuous body who's only intention is to take a photo of her ass for her gooner audience vs a photo that took at least 30 minutes to prepare a scene for if not much longer that is mostly definitely part of a larger session. Maybe you're getting off on me discussing this girl you posted with you, I don't know how people like you operate so I'm done

"image a is clearly more tasteful than b!!" and as you though about it you realized it's not as clear and your definition of tastefulness is loose
>>
>>7859756
Oh? And what is tastefulness to you?
>>
>>7859758
generally i thought tasteful = less explicit, so hardcore porn is not tasteful at all, by definition, while creative pinups are more tasteful. Though its well established at this point that nudity alone does not make an image safe, some poses are so vulgar that even without nudity they are raunchy = not tasteful
But calling a picture of cats tasteful doesnt make sense either, so tasteful means clearly sexual but also not explicit
>>
>>7859766
And what is explicit? Is that not a matter of your own worldviews?

Somewhat. Bruce is an expert at rhythmically drawing the body, he obsessively obeys the S-curve and makes it work. No "constructive wedging," more like "line into line." That, and his secret technique is just to pair a straight opposite a curve.

Not to contribute to nonsense but if interior design or attire can be tasteful, why not a picture of cats?
Not asking for an answer, but expressing disagreement.

oh yeah but i thought thats a different kind of tasteful, like fine art is tasteful but not in the same way as a pinup is tasteful, but if thats what someone meant then it makes sense they would think >>7859566 this is more tasteful

You will never be a real woman. You have no womb, you have no ovaries, you have no eggs. You are a homosexual man twisted by drugs and surgery into a crude mockery of nature’s perfection.

All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your ghoulish appearance behind closed doors.

Men are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed men to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even trannies who “pass” look uncanny and unnatural to a man. Your bone structure is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk guy home with you, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a whiff of your diseased, infected axe wound.

You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.

Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with your birth name, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a man is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably male.

This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.
