So can anyone tell me how in the hell you guys shade with such variation in tone. I get to about this point the last few times (ones I haven't uploaded) and I realize you guys have much more character to the lines and the shades.... i'm at a loss, albeit my first month with a tablet, but come on
playing around a bit more.
super heavy on the shading and overall super messy. not quite sure what to do differently.
In the Timeless words of Don Hertzfeldt... ROOOOOOBOOOOTS!!!!!!
I was looking at the picture and noticed a few things wrong with the composition. Just because its a shitty picture doesn't mean you can go slacking on your light source direction
F87- Just keep things warmer in the foreground and higher contrast, greyer and cooler in the background. - youve got several top left to bottom right diagonals, I take it the empty space at top is sky, put an opposing diagonal of cloud shape and that will help the composition a lot.
even with the natural stuff where you dont have manmade perspective to help- make sure your clusters of organic shapes get smaller into the distance..
Ken - A solid helping of rim lighting will really bring this to life. Also I think the pumpkin could be a little more saturated especially around the eyes/mouth.
Also the horse's behind is off, it seems too high up. Either the rider would be leaning forward more or the butt needs to be lowered a bit.
Ken: did you mean for the moon to be oblong like that? The horses's proportions are also off a bit....the muzzle is a little too wide, the legs are too long, and its torso doesn't look rounded at all...probably because the horseman's leg looks like it's cutting into it, rather than going around it. The horseman also looks like he's tilted a bit to the left, which doesn't align with how the horse is oriented.
I have not posted anything In a while, as Iruka says, so I figured I could put a WIP up I guess.
I have been uhh... trying to deal with color. I have lately kind of regressed back into all grayscale all the time ,and I am trying to be a big boy with real colors.
I was basically determined to fucking color something and in my disastrous rampage trying to colorize half finished WIPs and other random PSDs I had lying around, this was the first one that started going anywhere.
'perciate the crits ND and amuni.
Tried the rim light.. with such light background it just didnt work- usually rim light is more useful for pulling a shadowed side out of a dark bg.
Yeah, I think I'll redo it, It was the last one I did and I was getting sleepy. I'll try to rework the idea, Hopefully I can do a few more today. I might try and sharpen up the second one too. Thanks dudes.

I'm being absolutely 100% nitpicky here, but his toes should be pointing upwards, or at the very least straight and should be on the balls of his feet, not by his heels. His feet would slip forward on the stirrups if they were pointed down like that.
Other than that, I really like the details on the horse, and the colors overall!
Iruka - I agree with everybody else (and the first one's colors are faboo)...but I also kinda wish the others had a little more color variation, as well. You could really push the green and orange in the field in the second one, if you wanted to.
...but then again I'm biased, and am addicted to colors exploding into my eyeballs.
iruka, the blue on that truck is the perfect blue. like, i am trying to figure out how you chose it. it's blue enough to be OH HEY BLUE TRUCK but it's not blue enough to be the focal point of the entire thing. and the orange on it conveys rust so well. i'm always so impressed by ideas so perfectly expressed in simple form/colour choices.
Yeah, I dont know what it is about him, he has a face you want to punch sometimes.
Good thing edward norton did it for us in fight club.
I just tend to draw musicians, and this was a alright image i was drawing off.

I dig it.
Wakkawa, record your streams!
The curve of her back seems a little odd...maybe like the curve'd part is a little low, and makes the upper back a little too thick?
Where did you come from? I think thats pretty cool, I like the eyes.
Playing with my tablet trying to figure some shit out. Drawing from a photo.
Had a few seconds before work today, playing with the pencil tool on sketchbook pro. Very pencily
My thought too. Her face and the front of her torso looks fantastic though.
Are you working without a reference? If so, thats pretty damn good.
playing some moar with sketchbook pro.

I think its time to move on to a new set.
