you could put in a skin tone for the people behind or make it to where they have brown robes covering their faces and then to help keep the focus on the foreground try blurring it out of focus so the eye of the view focuses on the character in the foreground or if they are far away enough you could introduce atmospheric perspective into the piece to really separate and desaturate the crowd of people.
I would also think about the backstory behind why they are there if you are showing a more menacing side of them what is making them show their claws out in the open? as opposed to if they are just strolling through a market and they look calm/confident without a threat is there a reason to show hostility in the first place? excited to see the finished piece when your done.
I like your ideas, some of them I considered myself, however I'm done with this piece as of now - mainly because I want to have enough time to work on the Vivi Art challenge in the discord group.
I will keep you your feedback in mind though.
Understandable you have to move on at some point right. I can't wait to see what you come up with for the Vivi Art Challenge in the discord.
alright I'm back, I've been busy with lectures and the Vivi fanart challenge. I had a few ideas in mind but i liked the one i selected below. I've made some progress on the painting but it still needs work. Let me know what you think.
I wanted to post this before progressing further in case anybody had any feedback.
Looks awesome! The only thing I could say would be the background needs some more detail because the greyish green works but it still feels sort of empty maybe make some thicker trees or hint at more trees being in the background. overall looks great, nice colors as well.
Done. Onto the next one.
Alright here's the sketches for the next one - was really feeling a western scene. Not sure about the color yet, I'm focusing on the linework since I haven't gotten a good palette yet.
I really like the palette of the second piece you posted. The dark greens of the environment go really well with the oranges of the second horse! Good job, Handro!
thanks I wasn't sure if it worked with all the dark greens around it.
its been a while, i wasnt able to draw or post anything because i was upgrading my pc. I just recently got back into the groove of things. this past week. I have spent some time looking at some tutorials people have recommended in the past and just trying to learn new stuff in general. anyways instead of trying to jump back into what i was doing prior to stopping i decided it would be best to brush up on some basic concepts.
nice skull/head studies, you did a good job on the more extreme angles as well
Thanks @Kosmonaut I've recently found myself deviating from the skull form in my faces so i figured this would help m refamiliarize myself with them again.
Great skulls!
thanks @Lukiesartventure - looking back on it now I think they could look better but the general volumes are there. which is what I was focusing on because i recently started ignoring the volumes when drawing faces.
I've been busy since I started drawing again - just haven't had the time to update this. below are some warm up exercises that I've done to help me get in the groove of doing art.
aside from that I've recently finished this landscape piece. it took me about 3-hours. the reason I mention this is because it started out as a warm up exercise but I started getting more and more into the piece so I decided to continue it. As I worked on it I was very conscious to not tunnel vision on a specific area - usually I spend to much time on details it it takes to long to finish. that's why I started with these warm up pieces to just do simple sketches and move on to a stronger piece. Let me know what you think about it. C&C is welcome.
I've also been working on my character named Shelby. I was originally doing a landscape piece with her before I had to stop drawing for a bit. As I started getting more and more into that piece I decided the overall piece lacked detail so I decided to take a step back and really plan out the piece. that started with a character sheet for the the main character of the piece. 'll probably be working on this piece slowly because I want to try a different rendering method to my previous method - where i would sketch a design and slowly refine and redesign the pieces i worked on. just takes more time that way so I want to get better with time. anyways again C&C is welcome.
Your hands are i n s a n e! Great character too, I think her eyes are a little scary. Might need to close the eyelids a little, unless she's supposed to give off a "I love this gun more than my life" sort of vibe
@Lukiesartventure hank you very much, the hands are a process in themselves for me - you can really tell if its in an awkward position. I'll try to adjust the eyes - after looking over it I think they could use a bit of touch up.
Done with this one - not sure what ill do next. kind of want to do an expression sheet but i also have some unfinished pieces I want to get back to.
very nice character love the rendering on this
