>>7984957im struggling A LOT with her design. tear this shit apart because I still don't know what's wrong with it. She's a 20 something year old college student and kills people for fun. Her main rule is that she has to kill people who won't be missed, like orphans or people who are hated, or people who have no friendsshes supposed to look off putting but sexy regardless. its an important aspect of her character as she uses her appearance as a means of ensnaring people as well as getting away with the stuff she does because she just looks like another unassuming foid. I'm open to her having more eurocentric features but can't compromise on her actual complexion
Made my first sale last night, super happy about it
Im still work8n on this
scrapped piece because i dont like the composition and framing, working on another one with another character right now
Study
how do you tell if you're /beg/ or not? Seems very subjective for a lot of people.
Since there’s plenty of different subjects and styles out there I think it mostly boils down to:>poor understanding of form/construction/perspective>bad composition/aPpEaL>symbol drawingThere’s a very clear point where you realize you’re /int/, when you have a grasp of fundamentals and can execute a drawing that isn’t full of glaringly obvious errors
>>7985357I can tell you easily
Also, will you faggots stop uploading 3+mb files here?
>>7985382symbol drawn things can be extremely cool in graffiti-like styles for one, however right now i thought of a bad example rather than a good one, found this picture looking through some shit i saved when i was into dragons or something?

>>7985437doesnt help your case>>7985469i wont, thanks for the (You) though.
>>7985437I'm not clicking that.It isn't hard to resize files.I don't know what the point of being a faggot is, I'm clearly implying I WANT to see stuff posted, I just had crap coverage at work. You do you, I'd be surprised if I'm missing out at this point.
>>7985494Yeah sorry about your reception dude I’m just out and about at bars and stuff, I don’t have a tablet so I just take pictures on my phone like a retard
>>7985520Alright well if youre trad thats fine. I used to do that. I'll smoke and wait
>>7985269I dontvknow how else to work on this . Add this loose that. Learned sone cool shot though which i will try to apply next time
>>7985694your composition reminds me of those 80s dark fantasy paperback cover. If you want, you can search it up on pinterest to find similar aesthetic and try to shape your work with those references... if you want. we used to have fantasy aesthetic thread on /hr/ but sadly its been years since the last time i saw one
>>7985699Thank you Haven't done a profile in a while, and it got a lil bit outa hand, and i havent been able to put my pen downMy inspirations are really that obvious XDI will look at pinterest some more. Maybe i'll get an idea.I wanted to give the elf intensely bronze /golden almost glowingskin which caused some issues which i couldnt fully resolve, at least not yet. I tryed it because it looked at a copious amount of darksun artwork.I tryed to combine a very barren enviroment where nothing grows..rocks. with a glowing hero (standing on barren rocks), and in the background (the shrubbery down below), a relatively calm place where life and enviroment is normal. Unremarkable to an extentI tought of it this way. Dont know if i succeded.Think of it like finishing a perileous journey, the ceremonyes , possibly even funerals, and now you just have to trek your way back home to your normal life.
I've been really apathetic about drawing/painting recently and I've been struggling with this painting to get a decent feeling sketch, but I messed with it today and came up with this and suddenly it's looking pretty good. Still lots to figure out but at least the general vibe is there.
>>7985269not int, leave>>7985350>>7985382not int, leave>>7985437not int, leave>>7985694not int, leave
>>7985757why is the portraits slut less than int?how is >>7985068 more than prebeg highschool girl?
>>7985694I spent a few mins on this, i’d try to articulate some advice but im practically illiterate, basically try to think of things as shapes with their own unique value range
>>7985800Have the values make interesting shapes.Achieve that by moving the lightsource (and sticking to the direction.). Also cast a shadow on the subject so they blend more into the enviromentUse darker reflections on the swordDarkening some parts of her outfit.Add a proper ... what is it called when (due to distance) the atmosphere becomes more opaque....ake tingz become similar shades of bluish grey.. Am i in the ballpark?
>>7985694instead of moving to a completely different picture like the other guys are suggesting, i think your next steps should be make the hills and everything much whiter because the light is strong, bring down the value of the blue parts of the robe and up the saturation of the greens, bring down the value of the rocks on the right while keeping or raising the saturation, the rocks at her feet are complicated diy, the sword's top side of the blade should be reflecting so much light here but its not (and i really think you should be rotating it so that its dark, compositionally speaking), take the warms out of the thighs and carve out highlight shapes on the hair, face and metals, you also want to change the color of the shoes or the rocks i feel like, maybe you could have her standing on grass...
>>7985757I agree they aren't int, but if every mid to high beg leaves there are going to be like 5 people in this thread
>>7985839other than the bit about making the character blend into the environment you said some good things, nodraw normies can provide pretty valuable insights, i read that they are more perceptive of saturation management than we are.
cute blondie
>>7985943the sketch
>>7985946>>7985943Sketch looks better. Her lips are all kinda bad tho.maybe the expression isn't reading well because its not done
