hi!
I know its been a century! since I last posted here.
don't have a valid reason why to be honest. But all matters is that I'm going to post new art work here as often as I can.
I wanna improve on my art work, therefore I'm gonna need your help to get me there. Critics and comments are definitely welcome!!!
Hey-o. I like how you take your work to completion. That is a very good thing that a lot of people struggle with.
On the flip side of that however, I would really work on some quick sketches to nail out proportions and things like that beforehand, so that when you go in and start detailing and painting colors it looks better in the end. Good work though! Keep it up!
Looks great! Just remember to keep at it. Your human figures seem kinda funky though. One resource that really helped me was a series of videos by Robert Beverley Hale. They are pretty old (like I'm talking VHS/Betamax era) but they are hands down one of the best resources for drawing people.
agentfos- cheers pal. i need to update on my character design. the first few couple of character design are quite old, since then i made some improvement on anatomy. right now im focusing on dynamic poses.... so hard lol
Here a painting of a moon base, first sci-fi environment I've done.
I wanna focus on the Sci-fi genre because I love it and you can do so much on it, so far I've been avoiding sci-fi mainly because I'm not very confident with it and its not in my comfort zone.
It not the best, i know i need alot of improvement, comments are always welcome!
Don't get discouraged, studies are hard.That's the point of them. I like the top two, the third one is a bit hard to read, check if your values are right on that cup.
It kinda looks like you are not using multiple layers on these studies. Not sure what software you have, but I'd say you shouldn't be afraid of using digital techniques. Panting the subject and the background on separate layers can make your life a lot easier. I'd also recommend you look at some landscape references. It takes some time to practice the seemingly random forms of nature but a few studies can help quite a lot.
Ofc. I'm no professional, but I hope I can help a bit. Keep good stuff coming!
Aleon- Thanks for the advice mate, every little helps
With those life studies i only used 2 layers, 1st with line art and the 2nd with block colours, then i merge them together and added in the details. I used photoshop.
Monochromic work of a reactor, I first added some colours in to begin with but i was struggling to find the right colour scheme, therefore i went with black and white just to work on my values.
Well i textured one of the assault rifle. Trying something new this time, instead of painting the colours on i've used photo textures to refine my gun.
Doesn't stand out as much i would have wanted it too, but maybe because its in mono chromic, what ever the case still need to practise and try new things
Your environments seem off to a good start. One thing I noticed, especially in your line drawings, is that you seem to be using the same amount of line stroke width throughout the piece.
Having some more variations of how thin and thick your line strokes are can really help improve your pieces. A general rule of thumb for line drawings being the closer a point of the object is to the viewer or "camera" the thicker it will be.
I'd also recommend focusing some more time on the overall shapes and forms of your silhouettes before jumping into the details, humans tend to read objects first by their overall forms and then the details, rather than the other way around. It's why you can recognize someone walking down the street in the distance rather quickly.
This might also help you on improving your human anatomy. I find paying close attention to the negative space around the shapes usually helps produce better work. Nice work on the studies by the way.
Hey guys, did some lighting direction exercise today, The focus has very little to do with the subject matter and everything to do with lighting and how different direction and angles affect my subject matter.
C&C are always welcome.
NOTE: The head sculpt is from a sample sheet which I used, I didn't design them.
I'm also planning on adding colour value to the bottom 3
Hey guys
Just finished a landscape painting, basically it suppose to convey that the buildings are built very high .
Tried to make it loosely as i possibly can to convey the idea without refining too much.
Had fun playing around with the lighting.
C&C are welcome

Thank you.
Keep it up!
I design it into a 3d design.
comment please!!!!
here's the art work that i made for it.
please comment !

The style of the art work will be 2D cell shaded. E.g zelda wind waker.
rough sketches
Refined
rough thumbnails
refined thumbnails still a WIP
Overall, i still need alot of practise, right now the painting looks flat, but comments are welcome
I will keep on updating as much as i can.

Here are some basic thumbnails
Here a final piece
As you can see is a mono chromic painting. I want to practise my values, Still a lot to learn.

C&C are welcome
the scene is basically a crash site
C&C are welcome.
The metallic if off perspective, had trouble drawing it.
did the best i could do
Did my best to convey as much information as possible will little brush strokes.
C&C are welcome!
