"Post your Art" Thread

Want to practice my colors more, and i know there's Youtube tutorials and everything out there, but i wanna hear from kiwis in here, feels more "personal", i'd say.

While i like the paled look (gives it an illustrated feeling i really dig), some friends have told me that it's too light on color. I've tried to punch it in more, but it ends up looking awful.

Any tips on how to color properly would be very welcomed! Also some feedback on the pic itself would be greatly appreciated.
 
My art.

A variant cover I overdid for episode two of Doctor Spunk, a collaborative effort to make fun of a local retard. (link)

...and it was a gigantic bitch to finish! So much so that the comic release had to be delayed. Learned many things, though, such as compensating for bad anatomy with lots of detail and calling it a style. lol.
(Colors are a little pale due to indexing; original here)

Been awhile since I've spent more than two days on any drawing...

Worth it.



do elaborate.
Your art is rather specific - the closest thing to it I can think of would be Pizza Tower. Posted without context, it's giving off schizo vibes. Also,

The second one looks really good, although the content is unsettling. Well done.

Kind of hard to give feedback on this one. Colored pencils on paper is definitely not my forte. Would agree that it's light on colour; one thing you may do to make them pop is to use black paper (or darken the background manually).

The pic itself is alright. Hand looks on point, though it's not immediately obvious what pose she's doing. Lines of the face are a little questionable.

Don't be afraid to give more weight to your linework, especially at the bottom of contours (chin, ear lobes, (in this case) knuckles). This way, the drawing comes out less flat.



Still dicking around in smushy paints. I don't think I like the color ones as much but making them is comfy.
On canvas, no less! That is seriously nice-looking. What type of paint is this?

Thank you so much for that, tend to do normal pencils more often, but i love colors too. Ill try these and post the results soon
 
@Shlomo Shekelstein XL Aw, thanks. It's just Liquitex Basic acrylics with a bit of GAC pearl medium. That actually means a lot, especially from someone here. I had a little bit of fine arts training but dropped when it became apparent that I would have to move out of flyover country if I wanted an actual career in art restoration, then I just kind of stopped painting for like fifteen years because there was other shit to do. If someone had told me back then that I'd be one of those "lazy abstract people" later I would have been offended, but I'm happy just enjoying the process now that I'm not putting a lot of value on the result.

Here are a few more of the 8" ones. Ignore the creased tablecloth, I was in the process of trying to decide what to do with them and about to set up a Christmas display.
