It's really incredible how much better these are after only 10 days.

[waxx]

It just keeps getting better!

Perspective definitely looks better. Face, however, is too smooth (should be wrinkly, ESPECIALLY around the eyes) and symmetry is still a tad off. The wrinkles that are there are too hard-edged. I would suggest smoothing out the wrinkles, maybe drawing from a reference.

Yo! Drawing from lines is a matter of taste, but It's typically a good idea. I didnt use any lines because I was painting over the base of your painting and staying pretty faithful to it, I typically would If i was painting a portrait. Sometimes i even go as far as to hatch out very simple shading in line and then paint over that.

The portrait of the guy in the hood is very good, nice, clear, easy to read forms that convey a lot of mass. How you handled stuff like the lower eyelid without a hard crease, just a change in form, is great. Do more like that! Excellent improvement.

FUCK YOU

gosh, whole post lost.......

anyway, I'll try to recreate my original post:

@Nix, waxx: thanks

@SundwownKid: yes, I agree that there's something unreal with the surface of the last guy's skin. Actually I used a reference  

@Catguy: Good, I draw lineart before painting too!
Thanks




Not that happy with this one and it for sure needs some more polishing, especially in the skull area.




On the other hand I'm pretty happy with this one, turned out better than I expected.

Tried to play with colors a little, dunno if I'm on a good track

[SundownKid]

The armor definitely looks good, the skeleton is still not symmetrical enough, but drawing from an outline should help you with that.

EDIT: The thing about the guy's face that's a problem is that the colors aren't rich enough, it kind of makes the face look a bit clay-like instead of "alive". I think it could use some better contours to make it less flat.

[ANtY]

Yeah, clay, that's what it looks like, but I'm not gonna fix it, he looks good enough in game and there is a ton more to do :d

drew at 4AM yesterday and finished today



is sometimes using "dodge" tool when rendering armors "fair-play"?

[Joshua]

I'm really digging the rendering on this one. Maybe try some bounce light on the right side? You are making great strides, keep at it.

[brettchalupa]

That definitely reminds me of the judges from Final Fantasy XII, which is always a good thing.

[ANtY]

Hey, that's the guy that inspired me to make such horns on the helmet. Didn't know the game though.


2,5 hours photo study

[Alevice]

Do you have the ref for comparison?

[ANtY]

@Gabriel: thanks

@Alevice:

[Jesse]

That's a legit study dude! Great work. It's awesome to see you really putting in the time to improve your skills.

Agreed! Refreshing to see

I decided to finally practice in pencil during my 2-weeks vacation:
















________________________________________________

Then when I came back I drew this dwarf crossbowman as a request:



then I polished up my old sketch from april



and today my cousin which is often giving me advice about drawing convinced me to draw some female clothing design (I never draw girls from imagination and I know nothing about clothes) so it was a big challenge for me

poses, anatomy, faces, clothing, everything from imagination:

[brettchalupa]

I like the style of the three ladies a lot. Very distinctive.

[ANtY]

Thanks

@topic: now I try to learn vector art, using Inkscape

[ANtY]

i'm back at trying to learn to draw so I figured out that I might as well post here in hope for some eye-opening tips and advice :p

my last three photo studies:







and some pencil practice:
