[Dangerous pinup part 2]

how did you apply the half tones? was it like a ps filter or did you do it manually, love it either way tho

Trebuxet responds:

Addtional cliped layer over the "line" layer in "Lighten" mode.

[Motomiya Mao - Colored]

love the half tones :P

NSMP responds:

Cheers :p

[Blair]

So much work went into the face for the image to fall flat on the body, you should try to have a more balanced piece

ROGUEKELSEY responds:

Thank you for the constructive feedback! I'll plan on studying anatomy/clothes a lot more.

[Love Skull!]

love the water color very masterfully done

HienKBull responds:

Thanks! :3

[Deva Vesna]

screw you man i wanted to have a chance, and then you do something like this, i dont have the materials to pull off something like that Xo

Shiguchi responds:

Everyone has a chance, as for me i was never been even a finalist in any competition i attempted.
You also got an epic profile pic =D

[Face12]

not bad drawing technique but this is very monochramatic, you need more skin highlights and darks, and that blur mixed with face glow adds to a sence of 2d id say never add blur like that, if you want to make the center the focus, than try using highlights and the background to get there, also do more face studies, if you think it looks awkward that is because, the hair suggests that the face is tilted twords the viewer and looking away, but then the face is tilted straight to the left side by the mouth but somehow the other eyebrow is comming through too, its good work just little details that cause the viewer to become seperated from the effort put in, im by no means a pro, but i fugured the second oppinion could help

Bringz responds:

Yeah it was monochromatic...is your comment meant to speak to the value range and not the use of a single hue?
I didn't use a blur tool, I just chose not to render every detail.
I do these as timed challenges on a single layer so not everything gets as much attention as it needs.
As for the more head studies, that is literally my entire gallery.
I am not sure why if you can see multiple planes of the philtrum the other brow wouldn't be partially visible.
The values on the jaw need work to provide consistency to the read angle though.

Photo realism isn't always the goal.
Putting in the work and enjoying the process is what matters to me.
If you like it, cool. If not keep looking until find something you do like and enjoy it.

Do me a favor and have the best night of your life though.

[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.

[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.

[water pixie]

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!
