Well, I critique people in art but I really can't do art either. x: Someone suggested me to post some stuff so I will but please bear with me because it really isnt very good.
I am practicing doing some basic realism and proportion but let me tell you its super hard stuff x:
In terms of what I actually draw its mostly monsters concepts and scenes/murals. I mostly practice porportion stuff on paper but again its not really good so oh dear.
Please be super hard and informative with me i really want to improve like super bad in terms of proportion and perspective and stuff.
oh gosh terrible perosn
bomb head monster thing x:
flying head
long arm concept
I was working on this a bit but it isnt super good it was just some basic coloring this is actually the first coloring I have ever really done in my life x: Ive never done shading either x:

You don't seem to be drawing "realism" at all, looks like fantasy... and that's good to begin, as you don't have restrictions about proportions and stuff.
I suggest you to play in fantasy, and when your hand get smooth start doing something realistic.
Let's see what you can do in some weeks.

Well yeah I do most of my realism on paper and stuff (which isn't very good I might add) and then sort of apply it to this. But I apply it quite not very well.
If I had a scanner I would scan some of my realistic stuff but it mostly consists of me doing proportions and outlines and then I take that and apply it to this.
Thanks, I really am trying to get used to a tablet. I do really appreciate your comments and stuff I really try to learn from everyone I see. c:

Now that I think about it... I can't help you at all.
You seem to be well documented and informed, you have lot of tutorials and stuff. I never read a guide, never, ever. I only play with my ability to understand how things work, and practice... So you will be improving at max speed if you follow your guides, instead of reading the criticism of idiots like me.
About the tablet, I don't found it more hard to use than paper and pencil. In fact, when I bought my tablet only took me one drawing to get used to it... The pencil is the same, the only difference is that I look at the screen and not at the paper(tablet).

Okay, honest to god, I adore that colored long arm one <3 it's GORGEOUS, the way it's lined are so stylized and it's so softly colored. It's feminine and fragile yet unsettling and creepy, just utterly brilliant

okay ive been practicing a little bit sort of x:
neck is so blegh its too manly. The more i look at it the more i cry inside :c~ stopped it because of quality and body too small
gave up on the arms. Arms are supposed to come out of the eyesockets and hold it up. Tilted as well. x:
got bored. Murals are way harder to do on the computer. x:

sloppy vined tree that star is where a flower will appear still need to finish and color it i need to fix the big vines so they arent as protruding
bacon
Mar 15 2011, 10:14 PM
Never really finished it just put a coat of lame paint on it
also thanks for everyone who has commented. It would definitely be cool to hear some more comments and stuff to see what i am doing wrong/right. Its always nice to critique ~o:

the tree is really nice. I can tell by looking that the vines probably took a very long time. It looks nice and detailed. For the paint did you use a computer program of sorts to do it?
bacon
Mar 15 2011, 10:35 PM
Yeah the tree definitely took me a while i just never finished it I sort of wanted to make the larger vines more obscure and stuff and add more foliage
I just used photoshop elements and picked some colors. The paintbrush is custom, its like a pencil like brush.
Basically its a concept art piece for a world frozen in time and ice i never really got around to making it icy looking but i used cooler colors so hopefully you got it sort of.
And thanks hirei for commenting and stuff c:

I really liked the tree so much so I did a little photoshop work on it, was fun:
Please continue to make inspiring stuffs

cute little lady sort of want to do a webcomic like this just more refined and more detailing. What do you think?
Comments and critiques are always cool with me. Please nit pick away.

Not so much a big fan of the first one, the second is really cute, bacon. I think you'd do good with a webcomic spotlighting your unique style.
bacon
Mar 21 2011, 10:47 AM
Thanks. I still would need to work on more detailing and stuff like that before I'd actually get started. I really need to learn how to do folds in clothes and stuff like that. :c

The second one is completely adorable! So simple but so expressive at the same time. Something about the spherical head and the eyes reminds me of Earthbound or Mother 3. There are some stray lines and a few niggling anatomy issues mostly concerning the neck and arms, but for a quick sketch it's immensely charming and I would love to see more like it.
I'm loving the tree as well. It must have taken a while to do, the extreme complexity is almost mural-like. If you revisit it anytime soon all it would take is a little bit of detail shading to emphasize the vines, and maybe a stronger color like red or yellow on the flowers and star to really make them pop and contrast with the cooler blue coloration of the tree.

Yeah, I definitely need to work on my stray lines and my lineart in general. And yeah, that neck is a little off it is just hard to make a neck when you have a circle head and stuff. I will definitely tweak it and play around with it and post them here. I also need to work on my arms as well. Ill keep these things in kind next time i do one.

Its really just a mural. I do murals all the time on paper and stuff so I tried doing it on a tablet. If I revisit it, which i probably should, then yeah i will try to detail the vines a bit better I tried doing that already but I didnt spend a bunch of time on it. And I'll try that with the flowers as well. I wanted to add more flowers and stuff like that and maybe even some ivy.
Thank you very much by the way. c:

Owe! I can spot those simple tastics of "blur the edges to cover crop out" but you blured then too much To make this topic related, I think the tree is the best you've done so far as with the detail
One question, why is everything so....................... uhh........................ dark?
bacon
Mar 24 2011, 03:27 PM
Thanks Kayden. c:
I dont know what you mean by everything is dark. If you are talking about the color of the background and the color of the lines then yeah they are dark. I guess im not a big fan of black and white contrast and most of these are just sketches which are meant to be traced by a darker color. I guess when I start tracing stuff ill add a bunch more contrast. ~o:

two not very good rough sketches of a sort of different style. I kept the round heads but made them bigger and made everything else petite. Ive been playing windwaker too much. :c

http://bb.ohsk.net/uploads/sdfsdfa.png here is another mural thing I did. Its linked because it is big. Its a little sloppy mainly because drawing vines it super tedious and my hand was pretty much shaking at the end.
Also thanks to everyone who have commented/critiqued so far. I really appreciate it.
The tree looks really nice, the color choice is really outstanding as well I can't draw trees so >_>; have you tried drawing a fully leafed tree?
bacon
Apr 20 2011, 11:31 AM
Thanks Hirei. Ive never really done a leafy tree on a tablet before, but next tree i draw I'll definitely give it a whirl. Thanks again, I really appreciate it.

Also I'd suggest tryign maybe some landscapes I think you'd be really good at them! Finding bg artists is a lot harder than finding character artists nowadays.
bacon
Apr 22 2011, 09:41 AM
A fanart WIP. (guess what it is). I plan to add more to it and there will be a mask mural background that will go nicely I hope. Also, there are trees with leaves. (I plan to actually do it properly next drawing o;)
Ive also definitely tried to play around with landscapes and have done a bunch of quick sketches. Ive always wanted to do a proper one, but I can never seem to get it right. Thanks Hirei, Ill definitely give it another whirl.

Majora's Mask!
And it's looking awesome. I really like your style (goes for all your drawings)
bacon
Apr 22 2011, 01:09 PM
Thanks. I am trying to add as many silly easter eggs as possible. The deku forest is looking a little bland so I play to do some more with it. If anyone suggests some easy going easter eggs, I'll try to make an effort to put them in (but I cant guarantee anything because my drawing skills are really tedious and unpredictable :c)

anyways I was working on a flash intro movie but i think i was a bit too ambitious so x: though i did do a set of 8 images that all fall under the same theme. They are pretty rough but whatever. x: Ill be pretty impressed if you can guess what. Its not really obvious but still o:!

Whoa, lots of hair! Looks cool, I wonder what inspired this. =]
bacon
Jun 12 2011, 09:38 PM
Thanks. Nothing really inspired it just sort of popped in my head and it sounded like a okay idea so i did it i guess x:
progress killed some of the hair and did some basic paint the lips are terrible and im not sure about the tree. ~

I lied. I dont like the new hair so Im using the old again. x:

She could be named "Eve", since the long hair, naked body, and tree could represent the idea of "Eve", lol. Anyway, even if the lips need work, the tree makes up for it. =]

Jun 20 2011, 09:33 PM
Thanks XMO. This is probably something I will attempt again in the future but right now not so much :c and yeah, eve is a really appropriate name ~o:

Jun 29 2011, 11:36 AM
That's pretty good. I like how there are multiple arms coming from the darker side. =] Both sides have very neat designs behind the faces/hair, and I like the hair - looks good. ^^
The lips are very well done, but I'm not sure what to think of the eyes. Is that a cross on the yellow-side's eyes? Also, you shouldn't have made a copy of the first face and then just switched it (I think it would add more if they were slightly different). I know they are different colours and have some other differences, like the mole and eyes, but the facial structure and hair are just a copy of the other. Otherwise, great image. =]
bacon
Jun 29 2011, 02:07 PM
Thanks. Im still iffy about the hair but that is me As for the dual faces, it was a last minute thing so I dont know x: I do have one without the other face

Jun 29 2011, 03:49 PM
This one looks better, in my opinion, because of the bright orange flower being completely visible. It really is a piece of art by itself. =]
bacon
Jun 30 2011, 01:40 AM
Thanks XMO! yeah the flower coloring took me forever to figure out but I got it down I think and yeah, I like the single head better
Okay a lineart that is sort of similar to last piece needs to be colored
also gosh thanks you everybody who has commented and critiqued because i love critiques and comments who doesnt? Only silly people that is who. So thank you guys for making me not silly.

it was princess Zelda oh no :c I know that in TP they had her all "darked out" and its something I was never really a fan of. She sort of lost her humanly persona. I tried to make her less flamboyant or nittygritty and maybe make her look a little bit more realistic

Anyways sorry, looking back to your first post here you can see that it's true when they say keep drawing again and again. You can see you've picked up some nice little touches to your work.
