/dpd/ - Drawing, Painting, and Design

>>596

Got to a stopping point for tonight. I'm not sure if this piece will make it in or not, doesn't really show off any design skills. Maybe it'll end up somewhere toward the end if I have room.

added some color, still needs some polish, but I've got a massive headache

Done. Any feedback appreciated.

I like the character illustration as a picture, but design needs fleshing out for my story. Here's some early development

Close to a final look for the head, just have to clean this up and I got a portfolio piece.

>use sharper edges but soften those shadows

That sounds contradictory, can you show what you mean?

>damn that is one ugly way of rendering

Can you elaborate? Maybe some examples?

here, honestly i shouldve timelapsed this but oh well…

also sorry for being an ass earlier, wasnt in the best of moods

first of all you should work on your fundamentals, theyre at a lower level than your rendering right now.

its important to say that although soft shadows look nice, hard shading is actually better for developing your skill, youll know when to use each when you learn more about lighting (with practice, observation, etc)

as for the rendering comment, i ment that it looks lumpy and generally unnatural

and that last peice, dont adjust your colors like that bro, the saturation will just end up looking like shit

Thank you, and no hard feelings.

I'm trying to keep up with my studies as well as put this folio together. It's difficult balancing the two, but I suppose it's the same for all aspiring pros.

I'm basically trying to mix the shape language of a star with the shapes of a sea monster within her head. I think it's there, I just need to finish this turnaround.

Is four months enough to make a thing like this?

Trying to emulate Amundsen.
