Hey! I HAVE SPEND ALLLLL DAYY DOING 3 DIFFERENT ICE TEXTUREESS!!!! I HATE MY LIFE.

But anyway I'm gonna work on the right hand tomorrow.

If you have any feedback dont be affraid to destroy me

[Da_Bingus]

Hello! I finally finished her! (Atleast the grayscale)

I also worked on the background a bit and added details like crystals glowing and setsunas eyes glowing

If you see any mistakes dont be afraid point them out

[Da_Bingus]

Hello! I did a whole repaint of the sky bcs It was just not working, I also Started adding some color and oh boi.... Going from grayscale to color is harder then I expected:MeruHands:

Idk how to make the highlights on the cristals look good with red.. Any critique on that would be epic

Also Any helping hands on how to color the character would be amazing as well!

Tomorrow I will adjust the lights on her and add bounce light from the moon

Also I will try and work on the knight

[Da_Bingus]

Hello! I did some plastic surgery on her face and added some colored light... It looks..... Ok-ish?

Any feed back on the colors would be appreciated.

tomorrow I will finally work on the knight

[Da_Bingus]

Played with values and blending modes, and Honestly I like what I got rn. I know there is a lot of stuff i can do with the colors but I just don't know color theory to play with that. For my current skill lvl its as good as it will get (without wasting time) I think I'll do the knight tomorrow and then after tomorrow I will do final polish after that Ill return to studies. But like I said before I'm planing on doing one personal piece every 3 months

[LesleyCarol]

I really like the textures you have going here.

I would go back to the previous one you uploaded and only brighten up areas closer to the ground, like the legs and tail. The blue looks more natural in the previous one and the white highlights are a little overdone in the recent one to me.

[Da_Bingus]

Yea u might be right the problem is, That she looks way too dark in the old version.

Also Its dark bg with dark character its not working that well I think

[000_peanut]

Hello..!!!

Peanut here.. Can I give some thoughts?? okay, i know you agree. 😋

anyway, I don't know if this critique is appropriate but here's what I found
1. The environment is dark/night meaning, there should be more core and occlusion shadow in the character

1. study more about value, shadow and lights. It will definitely help. As an example, the moon is red and its our main light source right? so I think some of its light should be ALL OVER in your character (if its really you main source, or maybe im wrong, its the crystal 😲😲). I also think that the crystal should have lower shades, right now its kinda distracting, it takes away my attention in the character (IMO).. and many more, but I have a limited time rn. so... 😄

That's all.. I think..
maybe Im right in my critique, or not, HAHAHHAHAHA 🤣

👍👍👍 nice work BTW

[aviatorfox20]

It looks very good! one thing to remember is that the moon is your main light source here, and that if its night the characters shadows will look a lot darker, what this means is you want to have your shadows on the character except where the moon light is hitting and the crystal light, though I would recommend studying values first before anything

very good work! c:

[gregorya]

For a critique, the light would be a soft light around the character and maybe around the crystals. Does the original scene have similar lighting?

[Da_Bingus]

Yo!

I know you guys are probably sick and tired of this drawing but its almost done trust me! Tomorrow I will do the final polish and after that I'll return to studying.

But anyway I did some adjustments to the lighting to setsuna and I finished the knight.

Dont hold any punches with critiques!

[Da_Bingus]

I have seen bunch of people talking abt main light source being the moon but its not! The main light source is the crystal on the bottom right, Its supposed to be glowing blue light

[Da_Bingus]

I will defenitely study those more! Its my first personal piece so I was doing my best lmao But I will keep it in mind

[aviatorfox20]

Oh! in that case the lighting on that piece there is more accurate, good work, I would study how to shade different forms if I were you as well, you can really emphasize depth if you know where the light/shadow terminates on the shapes of your character, looks very good c: the colours are pretty

[Da_Bingus]

Hello every1!!

First of all let me thank everyone who helped in anyway with this piece! It wouldnt look as good as it looks now with out your help! All the draw overs were amazing! I learned alot drawing this! And now I have a general idea of the process for doing a full scale drawing :Sheesh:

Now there is still alot wrong with it for example the background doesnt rlly work with the character but with my current skill lvl, I would be just wasting time.

It turned out way better then I expected and I'm proud and happy with it, I think for a first personal piece I did a good job.

Now I'm going to go back to studying construction of the whole body!

[gregorya]

You did a very good job.

[Da_Bingus]

Hi! thank you @gregorya!

I did some changes to make the composition work better

But this is officially the last time I'm touching this piece lmao
Im happy with the gray scale!

[Da_Bingus]

Yo!
Finally came back to drawin lmfao

I came back to the construction of female figure!

The main focus on this study was the construction of the rib cage

I used David finch construction from How to draw female torsos video

If you see any mistakes let me know! Dont hold any punches :MarcGun:

Tomorrow Ill do gesture and 10 minute figure drawings

[Lockenheim]

[Da_Bingus]
