Chiara - Art School Journey

[Frygidal]

I really like these blue shadows, I would just make them a bit darker and the skin in light more warm for a nice contrast!

Transluscent wolf's legs look really cool but I am not sure about the covering the breasts with the tail, it looks like overly-attached wolf xD I would just make second wolf with more attack stance, lower his head to cover breasts

[IndrawnArt]

Hey Chiara,
I love your picture and the wolves are just beautiful.
I like the changes you showed during the LiveStream. The girl looks much more alive with the warmer colors applied.

I had trouble to understand what she had in front of her breasts, though. It doesn't read well that the tail of the left wolf covers it, in my opinion. Maybe placing him a bit closer to the girl with his front paw covering her wrist? If his paw overlaps, maybe it's easier to understand that his tail covers her breast as well.

Other than that, it's really awesome!

Thanks @IndrawnArt for your comment!! Yes I need to cover better that breast hahah But I don't know I don't feel super motivated to continue it, maybe in some time I will go to make some changes, a lot of changes probably hahah

I don't know guys what I had in mind today but, I came out with this portrait Tell me if you like it, never done anything like this before haha And maybe if you point out something that doesn't work.

Hands and her body are a bit... neglected but I put so much effort in the rest and I didn't feel like to continue.

[chiara.arcidiaco]

Sorry if I repost again but I tried some color adjustments, do you think that it's better? A complete different vibe but, maybe it's more, vibrant?

[Apath]

They're both look so good! Though I prefer the 1st one since its more natural and calming in the eyes for me. It maybe a little thing and I'm not really sure with this since I don't do portrait often but I feel like the top of her upper lip's way too soft.

[IndrawnArt]

Really great portrait, Chiara! I like the first version a bit better. Looks more natural to the eye in my opinion.
And I can literally feel her hair! Looks so soft! Well done!

[WeirdOwl]

Great portrait! Very baldn't! I think the color vibrancy should depend on what background you want to have and what mood. First one looks very natural and relaxed, second one almost calls for a crazy splash of color somewhere else.
Your hair treatment is becoming very good!

[Frygidal]

Very nice portrait Chiara! I like 1st one better, it goes better with white background, looks like it is very bright and the desaturated colors suits this mood better, one thing you could improve a bit is a shading on the lips, I think the face shows cleary it is lit from the bottom and lips look like lit from the front

[chiara.arcidiaco]

Thank you guys for the advice!! I posted on instagram the first one And thanks @pitrek121 for the correction, I didn't noticed it

And @ivancatamora15 I think that I've chosen a reference with "extreme" lips, maybe not too natural hahah but I liked too much the pose and her instense eyes.

Today I've done another figure drawing with some clothes on. I wanted to do also the tattoo but I think that I will do it another time, too many hours on it today

That's not 100% accurate but I am pretty happy with it, tell me what do you think. One thing that I pretty hate is the outline that It's pretty bad, I used the wrong brush at the beginning I'll fix it I promise

I also didn't have the courage to do the lace on her panties hahah do you have any advice on how to do that? Maybe the only thing is just, watch and do it

[Frygidal]

Lots of nfsw from Chiara lately xD for panties just make a mask on the panties layer and erase on the mask where the "holes" in lace are, in normal life there is skin so no reason to do it differently I hope you have panties on the other layer than body otherwise you just need to paint the skin in the holes which is much harder

for the t-shirt I suggest you do paint some folds with selection, because it came out a bit blurry

everything else is top-notch :3

[Apath]

Another amazing work! <3 Mind if I ask what brush are you using for skin and clothes?

[chiara.arcidiaco]

@pitrek121 I had to search what nfsw meant and I laughed so much ahahah you're right And I definitely try your advice for her panties and the lazo tool, I should be use it more.

And @ivancatamora15 I am using just the soft round brush in the Marc starter brush pack, for this whole piece and the portrait one. He usually say that this is an awesome brush and I have to say that he's right Usually I use also the textured soft brush in the advanced set, the two are really good.

[WeirdOwl]

Very nice volumes and folds! Are you planning to add the tattoo as well?
As for panties, I'd use one of Marc's rough or charcoal brushes to give the illusion of uneven threads. Same for the treads sticking out from her top.

[Apath]

Ow. Sadly I'm using CSP and have no idea how to concert them into CSP Brushes. ;-;

[chiara.arcidiaco]

tattoo added, what do you think? I didn't put a lot of black elements because I thought that it was too intense and with my brush strokes it could have been too detailed, what do you think?

p.s. I tried to modify the panties but I totally failed Maybe next study will be full of lace
And sorry this canvas is definitely too big for this forum, hope that it's not too disturbing

[Apath]

It's not disturbing at all, more like distracting in a good way? Hahaha. Anyways, great attention to details and dedication to even work on her tattoo and as usual they're spot on. ^-^

[l0rclz33]

I actually had to do a double take because at first I thought it was a black and white photo. Good job!

[cedricgo]

This is really solid! Great study (even if you gave up on the laces XD) Keep it up!

[chiara.arcidiaco]

Good monday everyone!!
For me today was a but tragic hahah do you have that days when everything that you draw just, sucks? Maybe is due to the fact that today was super rainy and I'm a bit metereopatic I don't know hahah

I decided to follow the study schedule but I failed, a lot as lots of mondays during this art school when I try to do new things hahah

Here there are just some gesture drawings, hope to post something better tomorrow

[design.liliarae]

These look really great! They really capture the gestures very clearly!
Also, you were much more productive than me today haha
