    Matt- thumbs up! The lines are very nice, the proportions seem somewhat stylised- I don't know if that's what you were aiming for?

    Myk- that's kinda messy, I can't really make out the details.

    Anyway, continuing along:

    Moss: That's hardly manga. If all manga looked like that then I would like manga.

    mayday: I liked the old goblin faces better, but I guess you're aiming for a more realistic style? I don't know, I haven't actually been reading posts, just looking at the art.

    AoB: You made me realize how much lighting and textures affect how realistic something looks, not just intricate modeling.

    Yeah, that's pretty much what I'm trying to achieve here. It's supposed to serve as concept art for a fantasy/hi-tech setting.

    I really like that cloud. It kind of has a painterly feeling to it. Looks like a book illustration or something. :P

    As far as the digital painting in general...what do you feel you're not getting?

    i feel i have a real issue knowing what colors to choose if it's not from refrence, and though i use the "alt" eyedropper trick i have a real issue blending well.

    i feel my stuff never looks smooth.

    Any thoughts or remarks on this one?


    Edit: NakedZergling, this website http://www.furiae.com/index.php?view=gallery has good tutorials about blending.

    Well, for one, it looks like you're using a hard brush with the opacity lowered. If you try jacking up the opacity and switching to a soft-edged brush, I think that'll help a lot. Also, if you're still getting too much of an "edge", try just using more colors in between the two you're trying to blend...so, as a rough example, instead of blending a red and a yellow....blend red to red-orange, to orange, to orange-yellow, to yellow. It'll give a softer appearance.

    I think as far as the color theory problem goes...I would just suggest you keep practising. You just have to train your eye, and sometimes that takes awhile. The eye-dropper thing was a good thing for me, personally - I feel I learned a good amount by that. Also, if you "blur" your vision a bit and put things out of focus, it makes it easier to tell what colors are.

    Also-also, are you using pure white on your backgrounds, when you first start off? Another good trick is to put a neutral-ish color down first, it makes all your future color choices much more accurate...anything like blue-gray, dull tan, etc. As long as it's a midtone and not very saturated, it should work (in my personal experience. I also don't use straight gray, I find I work better if the BG has a hint of color in it).

    The "See" was easy to spot...the "can", a bit more difficult...and by then, I knew I was looking for an "I", and I found that...but maybe make the first two a bit easier to read?

    I found everything in the first one, but this much better. I also saw a "not" vaguely in the red section in the first one.

    Kind of boring as a scepter. It shall make a fine ship.

    It's starting to look like some sort of balloon ship rather than a world ship. :P

    Just a project we had to do for my drawing class. We had to create a monster.... and that's it.

    I wanted to put this in a separate thread but I'll do that once I take pictures of all my stuff from college.

    That great, but how is that tie attached?

    Yeah, I saw that after I handed it in for class....


    I guess I'll just say it's a clip on :P

    Alyce, your humans are always so saaaaad... is there something you'd like to talk about?

    I got denied cake once, and it put me into a perpetual state of sadness :(


    Actually, he's supposed to be more surprised than sad. Believe it or not, I actually do draw happy people! I just need to scan them in. :P

    I'm just trying to get the feel of values before I start really fleshing it out.

    I really like it, Mango! I think it needs more blues (because I fucking love blue buildings).
