You're from 4chan, aren't you.
I wouldn't mind but I made these a year ago, although I can see most of the mistakes in them myself already, it was just some stuff I did real fast with the Pen tool in photoshop, like the banana has a stiff back near the mouth, the pumpkins mouth is strangely bent, ect ect
Edit: Which was like... my first year of doing serious art /wrist, I would show my crap, but its crap, although I suppose I can show some of my recent works I just NEED to get mah camera set up I'M NOT READY YET NOOOOOOO
Wellll if I wanted critique I would probably ask for it,I'll probably make a new topic in a few minutes and post actual stuff and ask about it I've always been curious as to what the vicious world of the interwebz has to say about it, just gotta figure out how to rotate :<
You can change the topic to let us know when you update by editing it in your first post.
Also, you should expect every piece you post here to be critiqued. That's why people post here, not for asspats or anything else.
The second one is... well... blurry and a little dull. There isn't that contrast of color that lets it pop like your first one.
And meh do you mean blurry as in I failed to take a proper picture of it?
Edit: I suppose I could take the Moonlight in the forest and add it a slight ray going diagonally throughout it in order to get cut off view, The contrast from the moonlight and the night time shades should allow it to pop up enough if I plan it, not sure if I WANT to do it though I would show more stuff but I dont think nude drawings are allowed in these forums
I do have another painting but its incomplete. These are all my first ever paintings, (I learn REALLY fast) but I cant paint much right now because I have 3 college art classes which don't involve painting, Human anatomy, Freehanding and 2-d design (the 2 basics and 1 recommended for majoring class due to pre-requisite) I cant take a painting class until I get those 2 done meh.
BUT ONCE I DO which will be 16 weeks i'll probably come here and be like "hay can you look at my stuffz" and hopefully i'll get better at using my camera then
And I'd certainly agree- 1/2 my clothes have blue on them somewhere lol. I think that, because the mountains are so rounded they don't quite look like mountians.
I'm not sure, but I'm leaning towards the photo itself is blurry with a slight dash of a painting with little contrast.
I think that moonlight could add a lot to it, but you should probably get a second opinion before you take mine. I do my best, but i'm proven wrong often enough.
Also, nude drawings are allowed, just make sure the thread title includes NSFW (not suitible for work) if you decide to post them.
Here is a sneakpeek of what will be done though, like I said I probably wont work on it until a few weeks though
Am I the only one that sees a dolphin in the top left?
Oh good someone finally caught on, Hint hint those 2 paintings also contain a dog, and a lizard
Actually, that was the first thing that I saw when I looked at the picture- it took me a second to realize that it wasn't underwater.
Yep I saw that straight away and then realised it wasn't a dolphin at all.
People should be trying to help with less compliments and more judgement. To say whether something is nice is fine, and to throw in a compliment is fine as well. But theres to much of that IRL and I dont want to think that I am capable because I know I am not, so if night dragon could kindly come back and tell me that its crap I would very much appreciate it
I have a hard time critiquing traditional art because I'm a total lost cause when using it myself.
However, I think you could stand to work on your values, especially with your landscapes. Everything has the same contrast/colours from foreground to back ground. Your contrast needs to die off as the painting aproaches the horizon (depending on the amount of particles in the air/time of day), and eventually dissapearing into the sky.
It's actually a common thing I see with traditional artists, so I'm assuming that it's a prick of a thing to try and portray with paint.
In this one, high contrasts in the flames would work well with the dark background.
I could be wrong as i dont really understand how colour works, but yeah, thats about all i find wrong with your work.
*BTW i suck at painting*
I have never taken photos before so its new to me I've found that all my pictures looked like this because I took them while standing, which makes everything blurry because the pressure on hitting the button causes the camera to slightly move.
anywho i'll re-take my other two sooner or later. this is what that painting looks like unblurred and updated
