There's a nice harmonic shape in this bonsaiKing-sama wrote:Did this with different times, too~

I feel the lighting is unclear (lit from outside / from inside?). It looks like the bonsai is glowing rather than reflecting light. That worked for me in your previous bonsai post, but here with dimmer light this feels off.
(btw I keep seeing my nickname instead of "bonsai" when I glance at these picture titles )
Re: My art journey~ ((Critique please))
It's supposed to be lit from the outside, I did dark multiply layer circle above the whole picture in the corners to make the tree the focal point and added a luminosity yellow layer an the middle. I will post a picture without these edits after a while and tell me if it works betterbosinpai wrote:

Thanks for your critique ^^ tho, I don't find it very helpful if you don't tell me suggestions to fix my mistakes or give me references that show what you mean exactly, only pointing the flaws won't help someone to improve, but I appreciate your efforts
(And I have always read your nickname as bonsai, too ^^' probably coz the first and last letters are the same)
here is it
Re: My art journey~ ((Critique please))
This was more of a candid reaction following my first impression.
As opposed to: an analytical critique which one'd post after blinding oneself by looking too much at the picture and becoming as clueless as the artist seeking help hehe
Which I am a bit now -- I can't decide between the 2 versions of the sunset set.
However, I can pinpoint that the middle (wooden) part of the window is 100%-pure-white, which probably influenced me into considering it either lit from the inside, or lit from the bonsai itself (since it's behind the bonsai). Same for the bottom of the window, to a lesser extent. These could be darker.
In addition it seems the bonsai's foliage is reasonably dense and not translucent, so such a backlit bonsai would more realistically look like this ^^

The filter-less version looks more realistic with darker values on the bonsai, but also less appealing.
I can't really say how to "fix" this, it depends on how much you want to push your artistic license.
I'd probably go myself with either a more clair-obscur version (like the 2nd picture), or modify the lighting. If I had the skills in the first place, I mean

Re: My art journey~ ((Critique please))
First impression?? I have said that because people tend to point mistakes to me all the time (in general) and I feel if only they told me how to fix it it would have helped me so much ^^" tho, some stuff are easier to understand than others, probably depend on experience of a personbosinpai wrote:This was more of a candid reaction following my first impression.

Re: My art journey~
Wow, I didn't post here since December. Actually, it's coz I didn't know whether I should continue posting here or not. DA has been too slow with me lately for some reason, so yeah, I am here again, hopefully I can improve on drawing
Made these doodles some days ago: did this in grey then added overlay layer on top of it to give it color did this in color dirictly
Photoshop is hard to control..
I really wanna be as good as Mocha from pixiv, or Tazihound and giaonp on Deviantart, but no motivation //sigh
will try to post more here, anyways

Re: My art journey~
Ooo, I have to say the bonsai in post #54 looks really really good! I prefer it over the subsequent one because the detail on the bonsai itself is less washed out from the lighting. I think I prefer the colours in #56 though.
Nice one with the cloud doodles. Did you use a custom brush for that? I do like Photoshop, although nowadays I use a mixture of PaintTool Sai and Photoshop, depending on what type of drawing I'm making. What tools do you use?

Re: My art journey~
I downloaded brushes from DA for the clouds so I think it's a costum brush? I prefer Photoshop coz Painttool Sai doesn't have a wide variety of brushes that can be very unique like photoshop. Plus, I prefer to finish a whole drawing in one program instead of jumping from program to program. I prefer Painttool sai for pixel drawings coz it's easier to do it there than Photoshop
And about the tools, wacom bamboo pen and touch, Photoshop cs2
Re: My art journey~
This is a very old sketch I had of mushrooms (maybe two years old) and I just thought I would play with it today to get it over with?
This is the original: This is after using filters in Photoshop: I really liked Exclusion blending mode because it gives that weird? unique? look of it. I would like to use it more if I would ever do a magical like backgrounds. (:
