@ Lunatique and others who hate zero-friction drawing:
I hated how the pen so easily skated on my wacom board. I tried a piece of paper, but that provided too much friction compared to a pen or penci ...

yep, links are broken.
perhaps the server doesn't allow direct linking to images.

are there bright light sources under water or something?
if not, normally with water that deep (it seems very deep), you can't see the bottom that well (light loses its energy very fast travelling th ...

very nice work indeed. very diverse. you could fit in all sorts of styles of work. that's a great advantage.

the answer to your question depends highly on your definition of a "car".
different definitions will yield different answers.

seeing your rendering of a 'hover car', your definition would lean mor ...

hi AndyT,
the problems you are pointing out in artrage are pretty much intended, i think. what you describe as shortcomings of the brushes are behaviours of real brushes and real paint on canvas. th ...

there is very little sense of depth here.
it's mostly because the colours and contrast of the trees in the distance are the same as the ones in the foreground. in reality atmospheric effects (haze, f ...

This is a real oldie of mine, done in 1991 ("Uh... scanner? Uh...what's that?" - 1991)

yeah, i agree with al ian.
how did you do the hair? looks a bit furry, but excellently real.

hi janine,

my first question would be, why would you want the pic look 'like a painting'?
keeping in mind that you are more a 3d person, i would suggest you go for 3d all the way. it would benefit ...

hi,
the helmet isn't quite right, but perhaps armour accuracy is not what your after.

under 30 minutes. sorry, just a quick bog standard portrait, no ref.

ChiaNi,
i am also chinese, so you'll never bore me with your talk about chinese art Wink

i don't speak mandarin chinese (putonghua) though, because i'm hakka (kejia).
i really don't understand how y ...

hello again ChiaNi,

this is such wonderful art. you never stop amazing me. you are sooo creative. i love all your work, it's beautiful Smile

thank you for showing it to us! Very Happy

hi 0100467 (original poster),
it is very possible to be a self taught artist with just books or other graphic material (e.g. photos). i'v never drawn with live models, i draw my people analytically ( ...

those last 2 pics have a great sky. but i find the 'props' too dark, as if they are unaffected by the moonlight.
i liked how the buildings etc are lit in the first pic, albeit a tad too bright.

ChiaNi,
i love this thread you have started. traditional chinese costumes are such rare gems to see. i am so happy you made this series. i absolutely enjoy it Very Happy

hope to see more ! Very Happy

the eyes seem a bit too far apart. the chin looks a wee bit too masculine (i.e. wide). hope this helps.

hmmm... a bit hard to start with. perhaps you can try to find reference photos for the sky.
most important is to specify where the sun is. that way you can decide light and shade for the rest of the ...

it looks quite good already. the moon and the lights in the house should not have this glow around them (there is no fog visible). and i agree with spline, the lights in the house are pointlights. why ...

wow, this is such a cool thread!
i like your chinese ethnic group series a LOT, ChiaNi Very Happy

i hope these costumes will stay preserved for a long long time in china. they are treasures of culture Smile

if you want to learn drawing, then i'd say grab pencil and paper and start drawing. that's the only way, i think.
paint overs won't help you, because the ground work is already there. all you do is ...

i like the design as well.
but i don't like the tone and colours of this background. well, of course that depends on what you had in mind originally. but as it is now, i find the background too happy ...

is that horse charging?
if so, put his two hind legs closer together and have them stretched backwards a little bit more. this will enhance the impression that it is charging forwards.
now i think ...

well, my above question really is the starting point for all my own artwork. but it seems you just started painting a nude, and then stranded now that the nude is 'finished'.

think of a scenery wh ...

sorry, i stand corrected. the more expensive tft screens have 24 bit colour. just make sure the tft screen you buy support it. usually cheaper screens have 18 bit colour.

still, the limited viewing ...
