    EDIT: I just realized that these silhouettes only work when interpreted as a front view. Look at them like back views and they fall apart, specifically in the legs. They're supposed to work either way, right? Or am I wrong and these are fine?

    ... I have no idea what you are talking about here, dude. Like, I don't even know how you would draw a three-quarter front view that also worked from the back. The knees would be on backwards for a start.

    Or perhaps I've misunderstood what you're saying.

    I'm finding this hella frustrating
    am I not supposed to use the opacity slider either?

    Definitely use the opacity slider. You can just hit the numbers on your keyboard to quickly switch the opacity %.

    Try just laying down your initial sketches and tones in the way that you normally do and are comfortable with, and then switch to the default brushes to tidy up edges and tighten up forms.

    I was more suggesting that you might try adding that sort of thing to your current workflow, rather than altering your way of doing things completely.

    Also, I mucked around with your face again to make some suggestions.

    Establish your light sources firmly.

    Try chiseling out some planes on your faces and make sure that the values follow them accordingly.

    Try varying up the value of your shadows. Shadows would only be that dark if the guy is standing in a black room with a strong light source shining on him.

    Uhhh... yeah, I'm being dumb. I'm blaming it on being really tired when I did those silhouettes.

    There was something important here. It's gone now.

    Chico I am not sure if that light source you're sighting in the example is accurate enough.

    How far is the light source from the face? Is he in a room or outside? I ask because you've got his face lit up in this bizarre tween grey area that's part sunlight and part nearby, but your bounce light suggest that he's under an oversized/diffused light source! Those bounce shadows are confusing to read ahahahaha

    EDIT: I realize that this might be nitpicking haha

    Honestly some of the stuff people point out here - myself included in hindshight- makes me smile for exactly this reason. It's just as much for us as it is for the person we're giving the advice to.

    He's clearly a man standing in a diffusely lit grey room with a weak light source very near and a reflector above him pointing at his forehead.

    You're right, though. It's far from perfect.

    Picking nits is integral to improvement.

    Dudes, do any of these colours work? It's for a beauty salon or something:

    I'm pretty sure that first combo is owned by Kotaku.

    I'm pretty sure every possible combo is already being used by someone :/

    I used a similar combo in a design class and everyone said it was the Crown Royal colours.

    But they were all college students.

    Picking out just two colours to work with can be the most maddening thing.

    That said, I vote you remove the Orange glaring one on the bottom left from the running.

    Client's wishes, what can you do.
    And you're right with the orange of course. EXTERMINATED!

    BTW. Did you guys know that if there's a paid commercial font made from a non-digital original, there's a good chance someone created a copy of it (from the same source), released it for free and it's completely legal?

    The pink and the red one on the left column, or the purple one in the right column as a distant third.

    If this is for marketing you want something easy to parse while driving at 20 miles an hour past a store sign. The bright colors may catch the clients eye, but they wont be readable. The Pink and the red ones convey a mild classiness (muted reds always seem elegant with that style of font) while the neutral background makes for easy reading.

    But thats, like, just my opinion man.

    Male and female. Had to do ten of each (there's a page missing because it was crap).

    Very nice batch of hands there Nineteen. I'm also really enjoying the art lessons with Tam and Chico.

    My latest scribble (one layer, no ref, messing around with the soft round brush in PS):

    I really need to start putting some more work in on these. I just get so sleepy after working all day. Bleh.

    Mastery is the result of ceaseless error, combined with ruthless self-appraisal.

    Still a WIP. Not sure if I should just keep it "kill", I think the buffalo bill reference might be a bit too underhanded.
