Some questions about illustration + some portfolio stuff for critique
polycounter lvl 8
Hello...
I have some questions about illustrations, I have started with the drawing and illustration on my own a year ago exactly, I was getting better with the time but how I can achieve this kind of generic illustration stuff. Is there a name for this styles of drawings or techniques, also are they created from scratch, like the characters or is there a way to generate the body positions without drawing from scratch or sculpting in zbrush.
Here are the references created from different artist:
Here is my portfolio(generally with stupid things like fanarts and those stuff) for looking critiques,
I don't used reference to draw the bodies, including some background illustrations so a lot of them looks really odd and other looks acceptable, I will improving with the time. I'm still studying anatomy, specially the female anatomy for now. I still have to learn the male anatomy.
This was my first digital painting, I used reference to this one. I followed this tutorial to have an idea how to use the tools of photoshop for creating illustrations.

and other stuff...
I would really appreciate any information about my questions, the critique request is optional and is not a priority. Don't worry about it.
Thanx for watch!!!

I would assume these illustrations are created from scratch, there are no tricks or tools thats going to help you.
to quote the gaming crowd, what you need to do is "git gud".
There are no shortcuts, just practice drawing and you get there eventually.
I should add that environment artist and character artist are usually two different disciplines, and its not expected that you know both.
And yes, those styles have a name. It's called "matte painting" and "photobashing", I found it yesterday.
For the characters, its used a 3d software called "design doll". There are a lot them but in asian language.
