anyways, back to the study hole

You're improving for sure.

The last one look good color wise and there is a lot of cool stuff going on, but the face is very flat and the anatomy is really odd.

If I were you I'd spend more time doing line studies, learning to see, then move on to digital value studies. Not as fun, but more helpful in the long run in my opinion.

Either way just keep pushing.

RE: Styles' Grimoire of Art Magic - vansty - 01-01-2014

Thanks Dracken, the face does look flat. i haven't buckled down and tackled faces and potraits in general (will be doing that this month) and i made her torso longer so she'd feel more "snake like" epic fail there xD

A study i was just working on. but its bed time. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE.

RE: Styles' Grimoire of Art Magic - Fincks - 01-27-2014

You're really improving that's for sure !
But I think you use the soft round brush way too much, mostly on the skin.
Even if it's easier to paint with this brush for gradient the final look is really flat and weird

Your last illustration is looking good.
The forearm and the wrist seem a bit too big. I don't know if the foot on the top left corner has a meaning, or if it's just for the composition but I think you sould remove it.
It looks awkward to just have a foot coming from nowhere even if we could guess that there is someone in the air (?)

RE: Styles' Grimoire of Art Magic - vansty - 01-27-2014

thanks man, i just use the round soft because its faster for studies.
as for the image i'll fix the arm. but who doesnt like a random foot xD

RE: Styles' Grimoire of Art Magic - vansty - 01-29-2014

half-studies. PS may or may not have crashed a lot while doing the studies.

Really like those delicate colors in post 91. Great character, too.

The medusa is really imaginative.

You are improving super fast--way to work hard!

note to self: do some studies from life. Form and Foreshortening.

RE: Styles' Grimoire of Art Magic - Forrestimel - 02-26-2014

Styles you're improving a lot man :o

Just went from the first page to the last page and your work is loads better man. I already talked to you about how you were avoiding foreshortening and you definitely fixed it in that one with the tiger, but after looking through all your studies and stuff you should really look into getting some kind of a book for anatomy.

Message me on Skype some time and I can hook you up with Michael Hampton's anatomy book, just keep it on the down low, I don't want people to start hunting me for giving you a free book
