What stood out to me in the thumbnail (ie the first impression I got) was the realistic-looking lighting. Now that I look at it up-close, what stands out to me is the texture of the hair. The ligther hair on the scalp looks baby-soft, nice work.

Your tones and proprotion are great, only thing I can see really is the eye looks a little too white as for shading the jacket, you could add a texture, or make one of your own by making your brush really small and low opacity, and drawing a few lines. Do you use the smudge tool? If you do, try not to.

Your words mean a lot, because you're very insightful and you know what you're talking about. I am glad the lighting and the hair turned out well.

I'd try textures, but, so far, I haven't quite learned how to use them. I use tools similar to the smudge tool, but get what you're saying.

I think you did a excellent job. I learned some photographing tip on shooting black on black and it was mostly about highlighting the edges more so it pops a bit. Again it's great work.

Hmm...that's a very good tip. I'll keep it in mind. Thank you so much!

I love the painting you did here D: I've been trying to work with corel painter but it is harder than it looks;;;; And I can tell that you took a lot of time here.

I would say, as far as the jacket goes, treat the wrinkles like a cloth. Add some sharp distinctions with a hue or a contrasting color (depending if it's a leather jacket or not) and add some subtle shades there as well. Hopefully that helps.

Corel IS hard. I want to try photoshop just to be able to DO more.

I don't know how to do cloth. I'll try and do better next time, though.

Corel is a little hard for me to work with xD But this looks great! I even think you don't need to add detail to the jacket- I like it in its flat color <3

Excellent! I love the hawk. As for the jacket shading, I find that the reducing opacity and using dark to medium browns, or dark blues and purples will help to highlight a darker area. Some artists make the mistake of using greys, but this generally makes a black object look washed out. Good luck!

PleaseHush In reply to GuardianDragon1 [2010-05-28 23:14:33 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. I actually did try to use grays and it looked completely off. If I feel like tinkering with the image again, I'll keep what you've said in mind.

No problem, had that same issue with a couple of my pieces before I got the same advice from a friend of mine who has been drawing for EVER. Good luck!
