Description
I don't even know if that's technically a word, but FINALLY I finished this painting! This had to be the most labor-intensive art piece I've done to date. There's a reason I don't usually do digital aside from that fact that I'm in a deep romantic relationship with copic markers, and it's that the ability to add and subtract line and value infinitely bring out the worst of my art detail perfectionist side. There's still details on this pic I want to spruce up that I'm trying to keep myself from. >_<''ĀIt was a long process with several hours spent in front of a computer screen while listening to the same song on repeat for a while for whatever reason, but I think seeing this through to the end was possibly worth it! ^v^
Anyway, let me know what you think!Ā

Sheesh! This must have taken you ages. Fantastic work. There's an interesting quality of it in that it almost looks as if it was chiseled out of marble -- some elements are flat, while others pop out, giving it a unique look. Keep up the awesome art!

This is stunningly good. I'm glad you didn't go for digital with this, as I think it would have lost a lot of the raw emotion. It's a piece that benefits hugely from not being CG smooth. I can't really think in detail at the moment, but I will try and come back to this later on and give you something more specific, as it definitely deserves a full critique.

Thank you! The picture was actually painted 100% on photoshop, but I definitely went about it with the same rough approach and style that I use for all of my traditional art.

oh I love the style and the texture this piece has! I feel like I could reach out and touch it beautiful so well done!

Ah, really? Thank you so much! The texturing part was the most time-consuming part for me, as I did it all manually rather than importing textures.

I can't even say how good this is! All the detail you put in as well as labor, it really shows! This is one of your best pieces and I can't begin to explain the measure of depth and beauty that this picture captured!

Ah, thank you so much, that really means a lot to me!
Ah, and glad to see I'm not the only one that does that. For some reason, this picture's "repeat song" became the nico nico chorus version of Six Trillion Years and overnight story.

Very true! I guess that's why I want to get better at them- they seem so hard! It's like deciding to climb a mountain, in a way. >v<
Ah, and a baby blue Kululu plushie sounds adorable! I can't wait to see how it looks if/when you decide to sew it!

Ah, thank you so much! I honestly wouldn't have been able to make something like this had it not been for the pointers you gave me on digital painting. Viva la chalk brush!
š: 0 ā©: 1
oh wow really?! how long ago did I give you those pointers again? you really remembered them and applied them!? That's awesome!!!!
š: 0 ā©: 1
A few months ago, if I'm not mistaken. I took mental note of it and applied it to my digital painting techniques when I decided to try working in Photoshop again.Ā

wowo nice that's awesome to hear! That is such a compliment what was it exactly? haha I don't even know!
š: 0 ā©: 1
No prob, it really helped! It was advice like how big to make the canvas, at what resolution, and what brushes and tools to use and what not to use. Things like don't use the blending brush or burn and dodge because they ruin your color- which all turned out to be tools that I was definitely overusing previously.

lol ah got ya lol
Well that's awesome that you like took my advice XD that's awesome!Ā

Well you obviously have skills that can run circles around mine both in digital and traditional art, so when I'm able to learn a tip like that from a major drawing master, I make sure to remember it!
š: 0 ā©: 1
lol thanks
but I have many MANY places I need to improve as well XDĀ
š: 0 ā©: 1
Ah, well you'll be glad to know that any drawing skill you feel you are lacking in definitely aren't apparent to the observer. What are some of the things you want to work on more? I know that for me adding greater spatial depth to my pictures and getting better at drawing anatomy are both personal must-learns currently.
š: 0 ā©: 1
some effecting looking places or lighting and stuff, I know you complement me on foreshortening a lot but sometimes some angles and stuff I just can't get, or if it's a super dramatic angle or view or something where foreshortening is quite a challenge for me. or like perspective can be hard too, like with the new one that I posted of Ghirahim parody of the Labyrinth, I had a hard time with how he looked like he was sitting in the chair, it kinda looked like he was floating to me, and I'm still not copletely happy with it, so I have tourble with that a lot dang it lol
and feet, I have so much trouble with feet. and I know I draw Ghirahim a lot, but I have a lot of trouble with lips as well. lol there's some other stuff too but those are the bieggest things
š: 0 ā©: 1
Oh, really? That's interesting to hear that coming from you, because like you said, I always admired your ability to effectively convey spatial depth in your art. Ah, and yeah, getting poses to fit in perspective like that, especially ones where the character is sitting can be super tricky! I probably could give you some advice on drawing lips- I've started to get a bit better at that recently. I find it helps to map out that one small dip under the nose and above the upper lip first as a starting guideline sometime. Don't know if that makes any sense written out, though. X'D

yeah I jave trouble with stuff XD
and yeah? lol ok

Ahaha, no problem. It's mostly just a lot of annoying practice until something clicks, at least that is how it went for me. XD I wish you well upon your quest, brave one!

Oh my, looking great! This one looks like a real challenge.
Just faved some art of him recentlky too and I've never seen the movie, thinking of watching it now.

Whoa, that looks so cool! 0v0 Ooh, and I definitely recommend the movie, the art, story, and characters are all really good, you shant be disappointed!
Oh, and thank you! Yeah, it has definitely been one of those "detail genocide," drawings, possibly one of the most challenging ones I've done in that regard. It's looking much better now that the art piece is close to completion, but boy has this painting been murder to detail. >_<''

(( I'll watch it sometime.
Yipes! Well it'll pay off and being almost complete it looks great so far! ))

Same here, I was pleasantly surprised by the film when it ended up being that good.
