I love how clean the lines are.

augh

[Tatzel]

I very much love those clean lines too, yes



In other news, I made some figurines (albeit not such clean ones)

[Galaxy Man]

it's decently sized

i got an intuos pro for christmas, so i asked a friend what i should draw and she said princess pug and kitten kicking booty and i decided that meant full on medieval style

i'm gonna color it so this isn't even close to done, just linework came out nice enough for me to look at and go "hey wow i actually like that"

[Myk]

awesome love the style













now remove their heads

Testing colors out for something.
Once I'm pop flyin' with this, I'm going to color the physical original with water color. Any feedback?

I'm got a few things I'm already planning on, like making the trees cast shadows on the ground like the rocket does, possibly changing the color of the rock, and making the flowers a more vibrant color.

The single source of red in the center of the picture traps my eye. While it's not a bad thing to have a clear focal point, I think incorporating splashes of red elsewhere in the picture will help keep the viewer's eye moving instead of becoming stuck in the center.

@Riku & Tatz: Thank you for the kind words. C:

@Tatz: I really like his eye thing and how you made it look like there's a lens in it. I have some sculpey.. but I don't know how to go about doing something with it.

@Galaxy: I like the line work and poses, and with the proportions and medieval theme it reminds me of prequel.

@Stranger: Big wigs would pay someone else to handle the toxic waste I'm sure.

Are there any places you'd suggest I out more red? I was already planning to turn the little white flowers red, but past that I can't think of anything else that would work within the lines. I might be able to add extra scraps of metal lying around, but they'd have to be fairly small to fit what's already down.

You could add in berry bushes, or tiny ground flowers. It's your image so you can do whatever you want with it. What I think would look neat is if you added some red in the trees, as shading. You could even put red in the sky. Right now your image doesn't have any atmospheric lighting, it's just the basic blue sky and white lighting. The sky isn't always blue, and the color of the sky has a big effect on the color of the landscape. An orange or red sky would add a reddish hue to those trees. Try playing with that and see if you can make something cool!

I don't think you need to add anything. Tint the color of the tree trunks to be a bit more brown. Right now they blend into the background into one big green mess. Don't get me wrong, I can pick out all the details, but when looking at the whole picture it's super green. If you were wanting to have mossy tree trunks, you can still retain that while darkening the trunks. Maybe even experiment with darker greens for the trunks? (A green-brown?) Experiment a bit!

EDIT: Whoops missed Cori's latest post. I agree with her suggestion for atmospheric lighting.

*screams about how time consuming shading is*

In the third drawing, the shadow the table casts in the foreground area looks to be at a weird angle. It might just be the angle of the hatching not really being constant with the rest of the table shadows, rather then the contour actually being inconsistent. Otherwise they all look very nice. The second one is probably my favorite.

[The Willow Witch]

Its weird because there's actually a second table behind it, I'm just really unsure about adding to much detail because it might drown out the figure.

[wordNumber]

Do you mean the second table is behind the figure? Because I thought that might have been it, I just wasn't sure.
