@Vintehin: Your stuff is pretty cool :D Realistic drawings, that somehow still retain a bit of that cartoon-ish feel, even though they are realistic (if that made sense XD)

@Tempus: Your backgrounds are awesome @__@ They look so pro!

@DerWanderer: I feel like I've seen his face before o.o Nice job!

@Eora: I really dig the feel os this picture :D Now I'm intrigued~


I made a digital version of a drawing I posted earlier, and coloured it, and for once, I'm actually pretty damn satisfied :D
Also, I took a pic of another drawing of my current Gaia avatar (which I might also make a digital, coloured version of) :D

Here are two paintings I realised the last few days. They still need some little improvements, but I don't really want to open Photoshop again today x)

I think I'll use them in some personnal projects.

@heypetdragon: I love the details! :D

@deshtat: They look really great! I especially love the fabrics of their clothes. :3

A rather quick one. This is honestly nothing impressive compare to all the art here in the forums. :P

Lovely art style, hun. =)
Your anatomy skills are really great!

A few tips concerning colouring:
1. Cloth textures
a.) They don't really fit in as you only use them on the clothes--either throw them out completely, or use them somewhere else too (e.g. a really subtle skin texture). Using a textured brush might work better as it's looser and thus fits in better.
b.) The texture doesn't wrap around the surface which makes the jeans appear flat--if you're using Photoshop using the wrap tool could help.

2. Skin palette
The skin appears really grey-ish. Skin is rather saturated in shadow areas, and using white to highlight is something you should stay away for a while. (Black and white both--they can make an image better, sure, but they are tricky to use, especially since they make your colours more dull by desaturating them.)

^ Unnatural lighting and editing, sure, but you can easily spot how saturated the shadows are.
... I just colourpicked the image and noticed that you didn't use white to highlight. The palette appears so dull because you only changed the saturation and darkness of a single hue (which is exactly what happens if you shade with black and white). I won't go into detail here because you can find a lot of tutorials on deviantArt on this, but hue switching is important.
If you have a warm light source, pick your lighter colour in a warmer hue and the darker ones in a cooler hue (e.g green: highlights would be yellow-ish, shadows blue-ish). You don't have to be too extreme, just a subtle switch will make it more vibrant and lively.

I'm looking forward to see more from you--your anatomy really looks good, and your people look so characteristic, it's really nice to look at!

Just wanted to color something. I might clean this up. Anyone have any secret tips for foreshortening? ;v;

Well, you should apply perspective to the figure, just like you would a building or an object .... however, my secret technique is redrawing it till it looks right! Then discover half-way through coloring that it still looks kind of wonky and redrawing it again. Curse my inefficiency!

THANK YOU. Thank you so much for sharing this! I was just lurking, not expecting to find much and when I clicked that link I saw his videos and they are the best!

Thanks a lot ^^ I think I'm gonna try this in my next works.

I'm not so happy with the texture either x) Clothes usually are my nemesis, so sometimes I try so hard to make them look okay that I forget about the skin...

Well I don't know if what I say is correct in english, but I agree with what you said ^^
