Dahm those do look quite good, only things i'm noticing are that his skin color is a bit more pale than the reference and the hair of the reference is a bit more bulkier, but those are easily adjusted. Good stuff.

Nothing to say, just that it's looking really good.

snakker 2023-09-18 03:57:36 UTC #808

Phew! I think it's done, any observations always welcome, thanks for the kind remarks and thanks for the pointers @Pattu_w I took heed. Also, tried stylizing my signature for fun

cheers!

Edit: Always notice something right after uploading! XD

I like the studies so far. The eye shading looks really good. Very good facial features on Shakira. Keep it up.
Your guy in a suit is pretty good. The only thing I can critique would be the iris. the left iris looks a little bigger than the left.
For your current one, the bikini seems off to me for some reason

snakker 2023-09-18 22:07:23 UTC #811

Thanks! You’re right, gonna have to fix that eye. Yeah, I admit having some trouble on that bikini, I think the right breast is off, gotta add the pec shading to guide me and add the tail but her hair is messing me up a bit

snakker 2023-09-19 22:58:19 UTC #812

Man, considering scrapping this one and moving on to more folds studies, she’s giving me a lot of work X_X

daceronine 2023-09-20 02:23:17 UTC #813

You can always come back late rif you feel like it. I don't think you need to force it if you're not feeling it.
That said, I think it's looking great. Obviously a WIP but the shading is really well done.

snakker 2023-09-20 03:03:16 UTC #814

You're right, thanks

Made some fixes based on @gregorya 's observations and a new wip

cheers

Dang, he's looking sharp! Really good work on the folds and the shading. The new WIP looks promising, too.

hionas16 2023-09-20 08:24:47 UTC #816

Wowee! that man's looking very dapper! Love how effective your color work & shading is, very spot on to the original image. I'm def looking forward to how this next wip will turn out!

Keep going dood!

snakker 2023-09-21 00:59:21 UTC #817

Thanks! @cobalt_kat @hionas16 Appreciate it

Haven't had much time today - so far only a quick clothes study, had a tough time with the figure underneath

cheers!

snakker 2023-09-21 04:46:15 UTC #818

Gotta admit, this was pretty fun!

cheers!

snakker 2023-09-21 14:15:24 UTC #819

Hey guys, basically my art version of ornstein and smough. Any tips or observations appreciated, also think my last figure came out too skinny

Cheers

cobalt_kat 2023-09-21 14:27:17 UTC #820

Assuming you mean the lady in the camel robe, I think she looks fine. Sure, she's thinner than the model in the reference photo, but skinny people exist, so she still looks plausible enough. The one thing I would pay attention to is the ribcage area, especially at her armpits - it should be wider.

snakker 2023-09-21 16:41:08 UTC #821

I see what you mean, thank you!

gregorya 2023-09-21 18:56:22 UTC #822

I like your clothes study. It looks like an oil painting. I think you should darken the shadows a little more. I like the shading on Shakira.

snakker 2023-09-22 00:58:32 UTC #823

Thanks! I'll give that a try for sure and yeah, I'm usually aiming for a painterly style to my rendering thanks to watching and following various artists (traditional and some digital who have a similar way of working)

cheers!

I feel like the lips are a tad bit skewed to the right (viewer's perspective)

Perhaps try flipping ur drawing and it might help you see what areas might need touching up

The left (viewer;s left) bra/boob looks a tad small compared to the one on the right and also a bit skewed towards the viewr
