This is my unfinished piece of art that i did back in 2016

And this is the new version of it that I started working at yesterday applying all the things i've learned so far ever since I got this Art School.
Gonna finish it eventually when I have more time.

You can clearly see the progress. This new version is looking good so far.

Thank you for the feedback

Hello Julia!

Just as malcom said we can definitely see the progress. The character seems less stiff, the clothing feels more original and you even gave her hands this time XD

Good luck in your art journey! I'm looking forward to see your progress

[echoriel]

yay she's got hands!
Thanks a lot!

I am fully immersed into Inktober (and my job) recently and i find inking hard and stuff.
But since I had some free time before going to bed tonight i thought to myself: "why not to sketch something for fun?"
So here goes the rough sketch of a girl. I think head is a bit too small.. but oh well 🤷🏼‍♀️ at least the abs are cool

[yassine45]

It's really good! No hands again?

[echoriel]

Hahah! Yea! Hands are so hard to draw! I need to do some practice and research i guess. Oh my oh my 😁

[cedricgo]

Well, the hands you did on your repainted piece looked pretty nice, so you do have the ability to do handshidden somewhere in you

[echoriel]

bet it's in the deepest corner of my brain

[echoriel]

Since I realized that i have a hard time figuring out values and how light or dark i can go in a painting, i decided to do some research on how to understand it more.
So I was trying to build a base of these landscapes using 3 values (darkest, midtone and a lighter tone) and only after i added a bit more details. I tried to stay within range of the value i was painting on and here are my results.
Some of the pictures i picked turned out to be pretty hard to understand for me. And yes, it was intentional not to make these photos grayscale.
Some of them i failed completely, haha
But it's ok.

I was about to draw clavicles but i ran outta power on my tablet, so i think I'm going to bed then C:

[cedricgo]

The value exercise with the landscape turned out pretty well. Some aren't exactly the same as the original, but overall they look really nice

As for that last piece, it's coming along pretty well. I really love the face so far. Just watch out for her hear as it seems too low right now. The neck might bit a bit too long too, but it could also work depending on the proportions of the rest when it's done.

[echoriel]

Thanks for the feedback, @cedricgo!
i did fix the placement of the ear and i think i shortened the neck enough. So i guess i'll leave this piece at that :>
thb i've noticed that i normally tend to draw longer necks and ears too low , haha. Need to watch out for it

[malcom]

Looks better now

[cedricgo]

Thanks for the feedback

You're welcome! She looks pretty nice

[echoriel]

The Possession.
He tells her to do something bad apparently

i am not sure how i will colour this from this greyscale but I think i will have to find a way
