Hey FractaL ! I find it a little hard to provide much critique on the latest line sketch because it is so rough. I think the overall concept of the location seems interesting and there is much to look at - but my eyes seem unable to find a focal point in the scene. I think you could help the eye more going over the image…
Stinger: Like I told you on fb, liking that environment. Maybe you want to soften up some parts of it? Especially everything that is not "in focus" like the background with the clouds. It will add depth to the painting for sure. Also adding some variation in color, size and value to the clouds will help ^^ Makkon/Ben: As…
I wanted to get better at texturing and 2d art in general so I bought a drawing tablet about a week ago. This is my second attempt at something like this, everything else was line-art that I'm not particularly proud of. I took my reference from the Deus Ex: Human Revolution extended trailer. Full sized image can be…
@ Fightpunch: Cool hyena soldier and militaristic gear, is he going to get a background later? Personally I imagine him saying Jazz is over guys, let's get moving. @ Heart_Murmur: I like the stylized propotions of your characters on pages 21! And there is a lovely liquid-like flow in the image of the robot guy above. I…
I don't mind if other people want to follow a theme, but personally I'll only be dropping in my random drawings and fiddles. Part of this thread's appeal to me is its looseness, and part of the fun looking through it is to see what random what have you other people are messing with. None of polycount's past sketch threads…
Experimenting drawing on glossy photo printing paper which has some unique properties * Cant use pencil to sketch - forces committing to inks straight away * Ink dries quickly and is a rich black * using markers over ink lines can only take one or two passes before it pulls the ink off the paper, which can give a cool…
@Eric Thank you so much! Means a lot as I like all your stuff. Like this little sheriff who puts a smile on my face. Really nice stuff from all of you. @crazyp. I would add more contrast, more value. All surfaces are looking a bit flat, imho. I am on a mandala trip since I got infinite painter on iPad Pro. Actually I am…
Hehe thanks dude, and I agree with you! I totally need to do some face studies and also draw more faces using references. It dosnt really feel like im improving but I guess I am, so its nice to hear ^^ Im currently trying to really define "my" rendering style, or a style I like, and improve my light/color/value…
Wow, I can't thank you enough Nina! I noticed at one point that my eye had trouble sorting the right side of the sketch as the weight of the line is the same across everything on that side. Now I just have to fix that in my next sketch and hopefully soon I'll be putting in some greyscale values to sort the foreground from…
Pipotchi: I definitely understand your problem because I can relate to that. One interesting thing you can do is having an inspiration folder(s) and gather things that you like. I've been doing this for years and it's always very refreshing to dive into inspiration folders of past months. Don't limit yourself to drawings…
