some sutff i quickly finished because I didn't have the nerve to work on it anymore




and to understand why i am so frustrated with it - my steps. Gods, I really should know what I want before I start painting -_-

^hmmm, I think the final/purple version is my favorite of the bunch. I prefer her pose and positioning of her hands to the others. It looks less "pose-y" and more like a natural movement. :)

a study of underworld


some portraits:

Whoooa check out that evolution! You're improving rapidly guuurl :3 you can really tell by the way you're painting faces now - a lot more realistic. All these studies are paying off!
But yeah, that purple one with the steps would have to be my favourite - absolutely striking and the composition works nicely imo
Keep up the good work!

[Saraiza]

well, it's been some time!

first: thanks for all the feedback!

and now for new stuff
first: studies:



some post-apocalyptic concept


and finally: a self-portrait. first time painting from mirror, and oh god.. do I really look like that?? (also I look really glum... it is horrible)

Cool portraits, keep it up.

it's been a while, so I'm just gonna dump some stuff here I painted.
I feel like I'm stuck, and I've had many doubts in the last year if I should really try and get into art.. I simply don't paint enough, and all the talk around here about sitting 10+ hours in front of a screen with no social life really scare me... and all that with shitty pay and no workplace security.
Even though, after all the university stress I really enjoyed spending an entire day painting again (also because i bought an old used cintiq).
I don't know.. I feel I am getting nowhere but I also have no idea what else I could be doing in life.

something I've been painting.. I am not happy with it. the colors seems somewhat lackluster, I am not sure about the background, composition and stuff.
some feedback would be nice!
