Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Final version of my entry.
The surroundings almost ended up looking more disgusting then the creature,
but then I added some hair to it and now they look equally gross.

You should read the third page of customer reviews, there are some negative ones there. I guess they sort them by score, good ones first to not scare off customers with bad ones.

But the price is amazingly low. If you do buy one: do you care to write a trustful review on the this post? I'm considering buying one myself.

Here's an example of how a music sheet can be artful: bringing sheet music to life
But I don't recommend doing this kind of thing if you're only just starting out on drawing.
Maybe start with something simple. You might find it harder to show of your work, but it's a better learning process in my opinion.

The right leg, because you gave the entire thing a solid line it looks detached to the rest of the body. Some minor adjustments would do it well.

The right leg doesn't look detached to me...

The left (his right) hand could use a clearer wrist though. The fingers look like they come right out of the arm, unlike the sketch where it's more visible.

Sub-par painting skills maybe.

Modesty is an artists blessing.
Your art is really amazing, so I feel like a tiny squeaky minion trying to give you advice.
A shadow under the beak could help it pop out more.
I hope this is helpful.

An update to my C.o.w. #90 entry. I might add color if it suits the drawing.
Luckily the deadline is only September 17th, so I've got loads of time.

Fuck me, that's creepy as sin.

As intended.

Another work in progress:
It kind of an awkward pose, I know.
Sadly sculptris doesn't have any tools to adjust a pose like zbrush does. So I had to sculpt in the pose, disabling the symmetry setting very early in the process, making later on retouches to the face a b*tch to do.

Criticism is very welcome.
My knowledge of the female form is, despite the many times I "studied" it, still weak.

Looks good, love the Solomon Burke ref.

That's some nice concept art. What kind of game is it for?

Tough choice, there's some really nice submissions here.

I vote for Hyptosis because it looks the most badass.

This is going to be good.
I might join in on it

His head should be a bit bigger.

Thanks, it does look better now.

As for bugs: it has failed on me, but as soon as I restarted it picked up right where I left, no progress lost.
It's still great software, definitely considering it's free. Very intuitive and easy to mold the shape you want.

New sculpt.

I'm not too satisfied with the background, I'll have to brush up on painting.

A Bug's Life, the pixar movie.

I Googled it. It does have it's similarities, though I actually had more of an Alice in wonderland thing in mind when I made it.

Here's the finished piece:

Haha, you're right. And I forgot to add the cheekbones to. That'll teach me for messing with other peoples drawings.

It's a nice rendering of a face but...
As you've already admitted, the face does look a bit feminine. And the nose has a rather high bridge.
I don't think it's much use to edit this one and re-upload it looks good enough.
But for future reference when drawing masculine faces:
- expressed cheekbones
- Adam's apple

ps: how do you embed art portal submissions in a forum post?

I've downloaded scuptris, a superb 3d sculpting program, a while ago.
After messing around a little and then messing around some more, I made these.

3D modelling is a great way to learn about anatomy without having to worry about perspective to much.
(It's free software so anyone can try it)

Yeah I think you could get some solid dynamic shadows with this light source.
Googling "Sunset Beach" it seems that one of the best ways would to be really get in some strong and more sudden dark shadows both on the objects in the picture and the shadows cast on the ground.
You are also going to want to get the entire thing in to a similar set of color schemes and hues
but you mentioned that you were going to work on the colors anyway, so I won't hammer on that to much.

I dont really know what you mean with your second to last sentence. I interpreted it this was: I filled a layer with red(dish) and blended it with the rest of the picture. Now it has a little bit the oldish photo look, not what I was going for but it worked out.

I dunno, I am just not liking this picture. the shades are so strong. The unshaded sand is to bright, but its because its to flat. I could make some 'realistic' sand, but I am not sure if it will help enough.

I think Ill just change it into something like this

didnt work on the wave btw

The shadows made it look nicer already, but the sky looks to blue for a sunset. I suggest a red/orangy tint fading to blue/purple (blue on top) maybe by using a gradient. And of course the same orany glow for the water reflecting the sky.

The waves look really curly, as much as physically impossible, was that a style choice?
The van looks rad btw.

Take it away NG

Can't believe what I saw when wildly fapping, couple of kids going about that rapping.
About how one would kill the others, the size of each others mothers
and all I could think was: " hey can't we just all be brothers".

So think of this at the beat of a snare and groovy sounds.
There's no pride in thug life, no point in being street wise
when all you do is hang around Newgrounds.

Also, no.
Just no.

Arms look a bit too short, I dunno maybe she's like that, but it looks weird. Also the palm of her hand is kinda small, it looks like half of it got cut of and fingers were sewed to it.

The zombie thing looks cool though :)

Thanks, I'll pay attention to that. There's not much legs on this one though.

Here's the last drawing in color.
I tried to fix what was bugging me by making the neck shorter 'n stuff but I'm still not happy about it.
Also, redhead.

New drawing. I feel that there is something wrong about it but can't seem to figure out exactly what.
So any help is welcome :)
I'd like to fix whatever's making it look off before I go trough the trouble of coloring it.
Suggestions on color are also welcome.
