Wow, from the thumbnail I thought you just copy-pasted the pic and posted it as a joke.

Very nice work.

Thanks, I almost gave up in the beginning because it didn't seem to go anywhere. Glad I kept at it.

I can't into shadows yet so I just put a cross in the middle of it in GIMP and tried to copy the helmet with each part relative to the other. How is it?

>1st reply

>thumnail looks like it's the same pic

Fucking nice.

>>4208

Try reading perspective made easy and doing a few exercises from drawabox.com. They really helped me grasp the concept of perspective and ligh(though I can't do shit in pratice yet).

The helmet looks flat somehow.

Yeah. The front got rounder but the back got flatter.

How's this?

Not bad. You could use a lot more value still, a lot of your drawing is pure white, but in the picture there's bright color pretty much only at the top of the helmet and at the neck of the chainmail.

Clearly the best one, so far.

You managed to capture the shape nicely. Well done.

>>4223

It's an alright start, but don't make tracing become a habit. It's usually not very good if you want to improve in the long run.

What tha fug man, I wasn't paying attention to the OP and I thought you just reposted the photo

The shapes and overall color balance are off, but it's almost like you improved it over the photo.

>>4569

Hah, I guess that's a good thing. Thanks.

Another guy said exactly the same about the colors and the helmets proportions. I think you're right. The helmet ended up way too narrow, and in general I should be more brave with using colors. It's a common issue with my studies.

This, OP's pic looks like a bulky armor compared to >>4568

Meanwhile I'm just here, trying to properly draw circles.

Hey /art/ I've got a question for you:

How does your painting process begin and end? I'm really good at sketching/drawing but I am an absolutely shit painter.

I never really understood the steps to paint properly, mind helping a guy out?
