Phalaenopsis Art Journey

[Phalaenopsis]

Hello! I have never done this kind of thing before but I tought it would be fun. Here I will post all kinds of art since I like to work in diffrent mediums. But probably mostly digital 2D art. Feel free to give me feedback.

My two latest drawings.

I really like how the scenery one came out. It has a really good "painterly" feel to it. The girl also came out pretty good as well; though the proportions of the torso and arms seem a little off.

I'd say probably your biggest room for improvement would be to push the shadows in a little bit more on the girl. I believe you were going for a "fully lit" lighting, but making it a little darker in areas like where the face and hair meet on the sides as well as the nostrils of the nose darker would give it much more depth.

Like your choice of colours! I agree with what veroxid said about pushing your shadows.

You could also add more depth to your environment painting, like having the far off mountains being faded, maybe add different values to the trees in the mid-ground.

I am someone who is bad at explaining these kind of things. Hopefully someone else can come along and explain it better!

[veroxid]

You're talking about "atmospheric perspective" -- I think it's perspective -- (giving a blue hue to things in the background) as well as the focus.

[Phalaenopsis]

Thank you veroxid and awyea123! I will probably go back and fix the mountains a bit since I might have it in my portfolio.

If you have the time, I'd just recommend making a new picture entirely. Not because it's a "so bad you have to start from scratch" issue (don't worry, that is not the case), but because it gives you an opportunity to have even more practice.

On top of that, it gives you something to look back to in the future to see how you've improved.

Here is a new drawing I have been working on just for fun, so some things might seem a bit random. There is still some things that I feel like I could improve, mostly the hair around the horn so it more looks like the horn is something that grows out of her head. She is trapped somewhere, maybe a prison, so the shadows across her face is from the bars.

Right now I am doing a material study. I don't know how many I will end up with but right now i'm working with these three.

New concept sketches of some kind of hunter. If you have any ideas to improve them feel free to share them.

Some more art, the first one is a 2h photostudy

Progress on my concept art

[Phalaenopsis]

Took a break from drawing and got inspired to do some sculpting in Zbrush. Here is my WIP photo mainly focusing on the hair.

[Phalaenopsis]

Here is two forest sketches I did. Spent arount 2-3 hours with them.

First one

[Phalaenopsis]

I finished my hunter concept art. Got some great feedback from SamPetersonArt so I will probably do some changes before I put it in my portfolio.

[Phalaenopsis]

A new character concept that I'm almost done with.

[Phalaenopsis]

Did a forest drawing, i'm not very good with trees so I played around a lot with the style and had a very hard time with this one. Next time I will hopefully find a better style for the trees.
