Gaaaawd someone give advice/tear this up/help me with this please. I’m a character artist not an environ artist but I always end up doing stuff like this for my dayjob. I spend hours on this and can’t get colors right. It’s just so yellow no matter what colors I mess with and looks like the foliage isn’t attached to the tree branches, the branches break up eye flow but feel hopeless to fix them since they’re supposed to be going over the viewer some. I also feel so bad knowing AI could do this instantly.
What can I do to make this better?

>>373770It seems to me like you will want to push the contrast (maybe even harder than I did in this edit). I'm not a professional so there may be more to it but this is something I always struggled with too until a pro explained it to me.

>>373770This looks amazing! But there are ways to improve it a bit, the foliage is a bit flat for a foliage. I suggest you add some variation in tone, darker and lighter chunks of leaves, look at picrel and similar images. As for branches, dont be afraid of hiding some parts with foliage. I'd also added more contrast to the image overall and played around with bouncing light from the grass on the right tree, to make it look nicer and to enhance it as a point of interest. Just throwing some ideas at the wall, because i'm myself not a environment expert, kek.
Also, yep, exactly like
>>373782 said, more contrast could improve the image lots
No. 373799
>>373782Contrast solves so many issues but since the thing is for a little kids musical, I’m worried it makes it too dark and scary for them. I should have mentioned that in my post. Thank you though, I’ll see if coworkers on the project think it’s scary.
>>373783I’ll try to add more detail to the leaves like this without going out of kinda simple storybook style. Thanks.
No. 373830
>>373693I loooove her bows. I think you should stick with the white xp shirt and blue tie. I think it would be better to make her outfit design simplistic so you can focus more on her overly designed head.
Since she has a blue tie give her a blue skirt, white socks and white shoes. I think white shoes would put the design all together since it would match her cursor bows, it would 'ground' her design together if that makes sense.

>>373770I'm not an environmental artist so I have no suggestion for the composition (that aspect looks okay to me), but I felt like I could immediately see how to improve your colors and contrast, gif related.
You want the sunlight to look golden and bright, meaning you have to push back the gold/yellow/green hues (& the brightness) in the places not touched by light. I chose to push them into darker purple because it would lend the pic a sense of warmth. My laptop screen has fucked color calibration though, so this might look clownish on other screens

No. 373930
>>373878Oooh I love the reds and purples on the right side especially, and the contrast the red makes with the trees on the left. It might be a little strong (and going too much into brown territory which is the main color of another area in the story…sorry I feel like I keep making excuses but it’s that there are so many limitations with this project) but I’ll throw some of it in there.
>>373917Im still relatively new to taking it seriously and am entirely self taught, so I’m no pro and it’s boring advice but I’d say just save tons of photos of real life and imaginative places you like as you come across them…I always have “I can use that for art sometime” on my mind. Especially if the bg I have to do has manmade buildings and stuff where perspective is more obvious, I will use one a photo as my structural “base” regardless of color or architecture in it and think of the floor of it as a 3D plane I’m placing stuff on.
Oh also I’ve found that throwing colors down on one layer with a messy brush and zooming really far out to make thumbnails is best for me. Then can move in and detail and “build” it (still all on that same layer, not being afraid of just coloring over stuff I don’t like)

>>373770>>374163tbh if thats the work you are doing then this is more than fine, as long as you are hitting the brief and the director is happy with it (i doubt they are paying you enouhg to spend more time on this)
but if you do want to practice you skills, it might be worth spending your own time on this. Looks to me it needs a bit of a detail pass over everything. The ghibli example someone posted is a good place to start for foliage detail and shapes. No need to go crazy and paint every single leaf, but see if you can get some more detail in the shadows (as thats what your scene is exposing for) and closer to focal points where you want the eyes to be drawn.
I agree with other nonnies that it needs more constrast cuz the scene overall looks underexposed (but idk what the production needs, maybe you purposely underexposed for the brief) And a bit more exaggeration of the cool tones in the shadows you are already doing to help break up the yellowness of the scene.
Overall great job with the colours and the mood. Needs to pushed a little further and the intention needs defining ala, a focal point, to help you go in the right direction.

i don't know why my art looks the same quality whether i use reference or not is this a result of not using it often? prefer just brute forcing construction from imagination until it looks mildly acceptable usually. how often do people itt use refs? also any general opinions/preferences
No. 387727
>>387712I'm guessing it's because you don't actually look at and analyze the picture. You made no effort to draw the clothing folds or surroundings properly and in that short timespan you couldn't have since you don't seem to have the necessary muscle memory. If you don't want a reference to influence your result it's fine to use it loosely like that, but if you want to add more specific detail to your art you need to start looking at everything more carefully and take your time with it. I like your style though, that first one looks really appealing to me despite some flaws and it's cool that you can draw so quickly.
I used to also brute force everything, but at the time I wasn't even doing proper anatomy studies so everything ended up looking very wrong without me noticing kek it's difficult to rely on skill alone when you haven't actually built up any. I think references are useful but they're oftentimes not exactly what I need or overused pinterest ones so I've been trying to get better at construction myself
No. 387785
>>387712I use reference as a way to check my assumptions after I've made a relatively clean pass at the drawing, with the understanding that it won't be 1:1 but good enough to see whether or not the construction is in the correct perspective and proportions.
In regards to your art quality, the shoulder construction is much stronger in the image where you used reference vs. the no ref image where half the deltoid has gone missing on the screen-left side. So I'm not sure if that's what you mean, or if you're talking about confidence of line or what.

how do i stop chicken scratching and develop confident lines?
No. 388958
>>388885Some of your lines honestly look fine, it seems to me like you only chickenscratch if you're trying to define an area more. Get used to erasing lines that you'd otherwise continue scribbling over. If you do it because you want a thicker line for more contrast you should change your brush settings so you don't have to press as hard to make it happen. Or make it more difficult to get a thicker line, whatever you prefer. But
>>388954 is right, the easiest way is to learn it with a pencil. Maybe do your warm-ups traditionally for a while. It also helps to use a very big sketchbook (at least bigger than A4 if possible) for single 30-60 second figures. You won't have time to worry much when there's such a big surface to fill up and it'll force you to use your shoulder which will naturally make it flow better

How do I fix them? Please be brutally honest I really want to improve.
I started drawing about a year ago, I try to practice for an hour or so daily but my digital art never looks clean or polished. I use procreate but I’m thinking of switching to clip studio, though the art program won’t make a difference until I can figure out the underlying issues.
No. 389492
>>389121What's the red box supposed to be? Preferably, it's best to study nudes. Clothing can hide and trick out minds to see longer or shorter torsos. I wouldn't waste time learning the muscles' full names. The studies you're doing on the left seem fine to me. It's a way of understanding the muscles. As for drawings on the right, I would say you got some angles wrong. One thing my teacher from figure drawing taught me was to try to draw what you see and not what you think you're seeing. Spend more time looking than drawing. See how the right arm on the bottom reference is going down straight while yours is going outwards? Getting these things right is a boring and repetitive exercise, but they made my figures way more consistent and cohesive over time.
>>389489By adding these realistic textures, you'll make the rest look even flatter unless that was your goal. For this style to work, I think the lines need to be clean and the shapes well defined. The blonde one eye's looking into different directions. The number one thing every artist should look into is composition. Right know yours is a bit boring and this type or art really benefits from the shape of the figures being more interesting.

I used those pics because its hard to find male nude models that arent grandpas or fat, sadly. I was also trying to study the chest muscles only, then slowly moving onto the arms/legs/back.
No. 389494
>>389492That makes sense, I wanted to experiment with a lineless style but the textures idea came in halfway through and I wasn’t sure if they fit together. Regarding the composition, do you mean the poses should be more dynamic?
Appreciate your feedback
nonny No. 389511
>>389493Oh, I thought it could be the pelvis, but that is a bit too high and small for that. That's why clothing hiding the body makes it more tricky. Kek I know it sucks to see ugly man as reference, I'm not even joking when I say my nude figure drawing class hired homeless guys to pose for us, but at the end of the day the models are just a way to understand the figure. I think your studies on the chest muscles look good. I know it seems weird to do them, but they'll help with your drawings in the long run. It's a way of training your eye to understand the muscles shapes and how they interact.
>>389494The poses are fine it's more about the shape they form, their silhouettes. If you look up silhouette drawing, you'll find some concept art videos on the matter. If you can ignore some of the cringe in them, they'll explain the figure in the form of shapes. Like fashion designers drawing, use that to their advantage to make simple poses like walking and standing seem more dynamic as you said. But I liked your drawing, it's really cute.l and ilI liked the chunky boots kek. They remind me of the drawings I loved when I wa growing up.

>>389489They're really cute nona. I think one of the things that gives you those beginner vibes is that they're a little stiff and their proportions are slightly off, and they're flat in a way that shows inexperience and not deliberate stylisation. As someone who also taught herself to draw the best advice I can give you is to learn the fundamentals and especially focus on anatomy and form in 3d space. It's something I didnt even know early on when I was drawing and now years later I have bad habits that are harder to unlearn than if I started learning properly.
Basically once you learn human proportions, shapes and form better, your stylised children's drawings will look much better too because you'll know how to abstract them in a more appealing way.
Also pinterest has been very nice to find inspiration for children's book style drawings and different styles. Good luck with your journey.

>>393159Do some more value exercises with thumbnails because the lighting has no impact there, you should focus on blocking broad zones with no details and no blending unless it's intentional (soft, hard, lost edges).
Pick the base colors that looks good together then their respective shadow/light colors depending on whether you chose a cold or warm light. You can play with whatever color, like bouncing on the shadow, if it respects the value scale it will look good so do what you like.
Follow the thumbnail as reference but don't use layers mode on greyscale like overlay/multiply because it's a waste of time, for practice and finding new colors is good but not for a full finished piece.

>>393324>>393159Well, I couldn't sleep so I did it for you nona so you can have fun picking colors.
Colours don't have to be the exact same value but it's important to maintain the overall contrast and vibes. Remember that the background out of focus should not have much contrast or details.
Hopefully this has been useful
No. 393371
>>393357That's why I said to just use thumbnails as a guide, and start from scratch with base colors.
The maths used for layers mode like overlay have ugly results depending on brighter colors like yellow, and darker one like blues. Good pieces don't even have that harsh of a contrast as greyscales anyway.
You would need to start with an all around midtone greyscale, then use multiply for shadow and add for lights (that's how overlay works actually)
I think you could put a base color with hue/color layer mode and start from there. Or like watercolors, make the greyscale brighter/fainter then put base colors with the opacity lowered.

This is the first time I’ve ever used the Loomis method for drawing faces. I am not very good at drawing ears or hair, I feel that my problem is that I am not good at drawing ears at different angles, also I tend to scale them in odd ways. I tried to take a good photo without the camera warping the proportions. I’ll know if I did good if someone can recognize who this is. This wasn’t supposed to be 3/4th view but the reference photo was.

>>394247I don't know the reference so I can't say for sure, and the beauty of art is that everything is right if you meant it to be.
At first impact it looks pretty nice!
Following basic anatomy it is just slightly all over the place: the forehead line has one direction, the nose and lower half another one and faced 3/4view while the eyes position are frontal, plus the left eye is even bigger when it should be the opposite or same size. Again, I don't know the reference so maybe the left one was closer to the nose instead of the right eye being too near. I took the forehead as landmark point and did tiny fixes all around.
For the hair I think it looks better if you have chunks with no details! Simplify everything in basic pleasant forms since it's also definitely harder to fix traditionally, and keep in mind the parallel/converging lines for the face and another for the side view!

>>394303>kpopfied Yeah correct basic guidelines doesn't mean it's going to look like what you want, fixating too much on the Loomis method is useless. You think about the eyedrop falling in line with the nose but if you make the nose thinner than what he has, and the face a perfect oval divided in three when it's more squarish with a shorter looking chin-mouth, everything it's going to fall apart

No. 400738
>>400604>>400610I think the wonkiness also comes from the orientation of the pelvic/chest. The video shows how it twists no more than 40 degree (timestamp 7:40) I thought it was really interesting when I learned it. Her earlier videos are also useful especially the neck and shoulder movement and the chest one.
The second one is stiffier because it has a really front view of the chest with the straight collarbones when they're actually rounded if you think about the ribcage.
Overall the arms are just a byproduct of the collarbones, chest pose in correlation to the pelvic.
The thighs can move a lot so that's where you can have more moviments.

>>404942hes long in a way that looked more warped and stylized, ur lines and style are interesting but there is a bit of warping. Staring at a drawing for too long will cause your brain to ignore errors and make it hard to see when warpage occurs. remember to flip your canvas often, try to take breaks, if you are zooming in to draw specific parts remember to zoom out and check. I also like to have a second window of my canvas open to see the drawing in full if i need to zoom in for details. this can be challenging depending on screen/tablet youre using. The proportions were off in that even tho the style he looks long with big eyes, his head seemed too big, his torso just a bit too long, and his wrists and shoulders didnt match each other. Gesture studies can help with proportion. great line confidence and interesting line weight. You could probably also play with line weight more if you want to spice up this style, but thats my opinion.

>>405142Try anatomy studies, including anatomy of the face and different structures on it, draw a box is helpful cause every structure of the body can be broken down like picrel. Improving anatomy or studying from real life is helpful even if you want to draw anime style. Better understanding of how things actually look translate to being able to stylize them more naturally (like to obtain the round yet masculine effect). I can redline this drawing in a moment as well but specifically everythings alittle flat and his wrists wonky, like his hands are just
fused into his arm. if you study hands and arms it helps to avoid anatomy things like that where you accidentally draw joints kind of melded together making them look unnatural. Your line confidence is nice so just some anatomy studies should improve the wonky bits. Also looks like his dong is missing with how you drew the pants

>>405258finding pictures that show the muscle groupings, using references and practicing identifying muscle groupings on reference photos like picrel, what other nona said about studying the bones but basically looking for break downs of particular parts or groups at a time to practice(try studying like heads, necks, arms, torso, shoulders, legs, something specific at first). find muscle groups and breakdowns, copy it, identify it on a reference, look up how the muscles wrap, pull, or rest on the bones underneath. you can also do gestures studies to get general natural looking poses and anatomy which can then can make it easier to break down anatomy to construct your own poses as gesture will give you the more natural shapes of muscles engaged or at rest or squished or what have you.
