more concept art i guess idk
 
Pipe: @two posts ago. The colors are muddying up. The reason being and this generally happens to me when I try to paint pale skin as well. (Kat Dennings) vampires, etc. And I think its because they're are like cooler colors as opposed to vibrant colors. There was this old artst that could do it really well and I've tried to imitate it. Never really have been able to... BUT!!

browse through there. I would suggest everyone do it that wants to somewhat improve.

I can't think of the artist at the moment (BAD MAKASU!). But something similar to this. Other wise you did give me an idea though!

Strawberry: I love the risks you're taking. It seems like you're slowly straying away from anime and a bit towards realism. Which is a good thing because it'll help you in your anime stylings in the end. I believe at least.
 
i tried using this for skin and then I just stole colors and tweaked them

Also even though I have read that first tut that you posted like 8 times i always learn something new x;

What I might do next time for skin is do a greyscale to add some texture to it before coloring it? Because i dont know what the hell i was doing with the shadows. x;

Yeah i definitely tried to paint pale skin and oh well i guess.
One day i will get it and make you proud~
Thanks for the advice and stuff again seriously i appreciate it x100000 you have no idea
 
i know this is coming from me (lol) but its really important that you draw other things as well
basically by drawing other things such as environments or objects or get better as an artist and thus, your people will come way easier

When you draw other things you develop styles and habits (hopefully good ones) which then you apply back to your people.

Its great that you are getting more realistic you have become so much better
but i can tell you still struggle with people mainly because your quick sketches of people arent as good as your fully fleshed ones.

For a week just try learning something new like perspective and then draw some basic plants/objects/whatever the hell you want. Your learn new techniques and new skills which then you will apply to your people and they will look even better. You have the skills to draw other things. It might not be excellent at first but you definitely have enough ability to do it i promise.

if you dont want to draw other things then here: http://fineart.sk/photo-references/andr ... tomy-books

andrew loomis anatomy books he is one of the best people drawers ever

The best way to learn people imo is just to do quick 5-10 minute sketches of faces and peeps

I did that for faces. I literally have probably done over 100 pages of 5-10 minutes face sketches and im still not great. But it taught me a lot. By doing little sketches you learn/develop new things and then you apply them to your bigger piece.
 
andrew loomis is probably the best illustrator ever, forever. i love that dude so damn much you have no idea. he can do everything from the simplest cartoon styles to abstract to the most dead-accurate realism.

Not really a sketch, but I'm too lazy to find my art topic/start a new one:

I am not very good at shading or coloring, so this is all I have. XD

This is Illenia Ashtear, a character I have owned for nearly 15 years. She is a scholar at a large University where people can learn magic and other things. ^__^
