Streaming da Art

[Brand]

Doing an art stream Nowso. I'm trying to do one every day at 10pm, because I really need the practice. Feel free to come by and say things, or not. Your call. Link in my sig.

This is the one I finished tonight. I started it during last night's stream.



Going to start a new one tomorrow.

Very nice although with the profile view of the face, showing some of the eye and eyebrow of the right eye kind of messes with the perspective. Otherwise, very good :D

Good practice -- streaming your studies can be very motivating. (All learning aside.)

Myyt is right about the side of the face showing. Right now you've drawn the main part of the face in straight profile -- we shouldn't be seeing the other side of her face at all from the angle you've got. (Which is a really small fix, fortunately.) If you wanted to turn the face slightly in view, then I'd grab some reference to help. (It never hurts to have reference.)

My biggest beef is that your colors look a bit muddy all along where your edges meet. I'm guessing you tried to blend out/blur your line work somehow, rather than truly painting it out. Either delete your line work (or put it on a really low opacity) or paint over it directly. Another great way to hide line work without losing the detail it contains is to lock the layer's opacity and simply color in the lines themselves with slightly darker versions of whatever colors that are near it. This will hide your lines, but still help you keep their detail. When you blend black/gray lines into your work it has the same effect as mixing your chosen colors with a black paint -- this dulls the colors and makes them look less lifelike to the eye.

I like the idea behind this piece. Keep up the good work.

thanks for the input.

Finished this one tonight. God I hate cityscapes. I'm sure ill come back to it later after I come up with more things to do to it. I also hate that transferring it to a PNG file causes it to lose so much saturation.

I like it :D
