[Forbidden Insight]

have you ever played bloodborne, madening insight is what literally drives the plot, you should look up the victorian hunter look and do something with that, looks amazing:)

buriedantenna responds:

I haven't, no. I've just been looking at some images from it though, and it's exactly the sort of thing I'm trying to do with this print series. Thanks for putting me onto it. Victorian hunter sounds like an excellent theme for an image.

Looks great, if you had the hair just a big higher off of the head it would look a bit more natural, just makes the head look a little squished,but good shading

[A Pleasant Surprise]

very nice, love the style, you should work on body proportions, arms connect a bit too high on her body, and her hands are a bit small, its the small things that will really boost your art to the next level, just keep at it:)

please do not add black to make a darker tone, add a darker tint, or oppisite on the color wheel, this will help make it less muddie

[Autumn in Winter]

why are you in the biginer catagory, your way to good for that, just a bit more time in it and this would be beautiful

RobinEgberts responds:

Seriously! that is so nice of you! Thank you. I haven't been drawing for very long actually, maybe a month or three of really studying. :D

[Frozen Beach Encounter]

thats not bad, but you probabily should have enterd for the biginner you could have won that

awsome2464 responds:

Well, since I'm not a beginner to drawing as a whole, I felt like I'd be cheating if I did that. Besides, I'm not aiming to win; I'm aiming to improve.

its very advious that you put alot of effort into this piece, but remember, practice your body positioning, it looks a bit unatural, and to be frank, your arms extend to far, they should have the elbows come to the waist, and yours go about hip, based on what i can see. just go in and shorten the arms and this will be a fantastic piece, im not trying to upset you, i just want you to get better as an artist, love the hair and eyes though they are pretty cool looking, :)

that-raccoon responds:

Don't worry about upset, critique is crucial to my improvement. Especially since I want to work as an Illustrator, every bit of advice I can get from fellow artists is important. Thank you for taking the time to look over my work, it's a big help!

[Portrait study No.3 (Grid method) Short Version]

Dang, I found another one of yours by random, this amazes me, like my art is kind of noobish looking, because I use a mouse in Photoshop, and i dont have a camera to upload my traditional pieces, but Dammmm how, I watched the entire video and still cannot comprehend this level of detail, I need to start working in larger canvas sizes, and I'm defiantly getting a drawing tablet! I'm just saying, I've never tried this hard on a portrait but that is definitely changing. I've gotten fairly detailed with traditional pieces, but I've never seen just how powerful Photoshop can be with portraitry

rainwalker007 responds:

I started in 2009 and till 2014 i was full on traditional artist. Pencil charcoal, oil, acrylic, doing exhibitions and stuff. I was against digital and all its kind. But man trust me when i say this. The min you master your tablet, It will be hard to go back. I didnt do any oil painting in over a year. Starting digital is hard. Its almost impossible with just a mouse if ur looking for realism. But with even a cheap tablet, and some practice (took me a year) you will not only get there u will never look back.

Take a leap of faith. Join the digital hordes and you will not regret it :)
Man.. i was an advocate against digital art, now im a recruiter!

[Dean Winchester - Pencil Portrait]

Wow, super realism is just cool, I always get stupid small details wrong, like the eye is offset a bit, or something like that, good job.:-)

rainwalker007 responds:

Well u can try starting ur drawing with a grid. or use angles and measurement when u do the small details. like whats underneath the eye pupil. whats opposite to the eye lashes. which strand of hair is perpendicular to the eye lid. stuff like that will help you alot getting the small details right.
