Hello friends, I am just going to be putting the speedpaints I do once a day here as I try to figure out how to paint! Critiques are welcome as always.

Now the actual speedpaints

Hello and welcome!

I love how you mixup your lighting in each one!

Excited to see more!

Thank you so much! I've been trying to practice lighting alot more since I always seem to miss the mark on how much contrast I have with my shading, often I make the shading too light.

Speedpaint for today, a request from someone on twitter. Lighter color palettes are not one of my strengths and I feel like I mixed the background into the character too much.

I have now just realized I almost always draw people facing to the left. Good job me.

Hey there welcome aboard!

You mentioned that you will be doing mainly speed paints but! I would argue to actually push something once or twice a week, with conscious learning. And of course if that doesn't work, then feel free to discard it.

Overall keep on painting.

Thanks so much! Also does anyone have any good fabric/clothing painting tutorials? I always get so lost in the details when trying to do that.

khromies 2017-01-09 00:36:46 UTC #17

todays speedpaint it didn't turn out at all how i wanted, but i was too frustrated to make it polished so i just wanted to finish it anyway i could so i just tried to focus on shapes

khromies 2017-01-11 06:01:40 UTC #18

managed to do a speedpaint 2 day, I sorta feel like I'm improving. Atleast things are getting faster.

big-misch 2017-01-11 14:35:49 UTC #19

Nice updates!!

If I could offer my two cents on you BF portrait it would be this. As you know the ear got a little small. But then I think one other thing is the forehead got pretty small. In general the eyes actually fall halfway down the head. Seems low, but it's true!

Thanks so much! I'll play around with it today! I really appreciate the critique, I really want to get better at more anatomically sound faces, since most of mine tend to come out more animey.

There's lot of gorgeous work here! I especially love the dollchanlrs.png and kimiko.png paintings. I think it's something about the lighting and the overall colors.

Anyway, keep on painting!
