nezu draws; critiques always welcome; price advice?

#1 Post by nezu » Mon Aug 24, 2015 6:40 am

So I'm new to this forum and I do art so I figured this section will be great to start in. Yeah.

These are things I managed to do/finish during last weeks and days. (in chronological order and shrank down)

Image
So Matt Damon is first. p: I'm pretty prod of this thing. Especially that my mom recognized him. XDD Drawing stylized real people is really hard and that's what I'm trying to learn right now.

Image
I wanted to draw something and I figured I can draw a new Harley Quinn from Suicide Squad. There's something wrong with her proportions. It's not finished. And she doesn't even look a little like Margot Robbie. Well. I tried. But painting that hair was fun. p:

Image
In excitement for new Mission:Impossible I wanted to draw Benji. 'Cause his my favourite and I'm a huge fan of Simon Pegg. <3 Still not recognizable. But his head shape is pretty accurate if you ask me. Nothing else. Trying out a new technique of painting Took less time than Harley and I actually finished it. And I'm pretty proud that I finished something digitally. Finally.

Image
Yaaayy. Peeeaaach. This was a pain in the butt. It took so much time and it's still not finished (the hair). But everything for learning new technique. Yeah, sure...

Image
This one is really big. Sorry! This was more like "what I can do" stream of work. Took 5hrs. Some SU and Korra fanart. >w> And BTW I know, that skinny guy is really wrong but I was so tired and exhausted that I didn't even bothered looking up the reference. I just remebered that scene from The Machinist with Christian Bale. Really good movie.

Image
Trying to put some known-faces into chibis. This is supposed to be Michael Cera. Meh.

Image
I think this thing I'm the most proud of from all of those I showed here. I just really like blue. And it was fun to come back to lineart after a while. I like her lips and the whole face. And love crooked legs. uwu'' The shading on the skirt is weird tho. Nothing is perfect after all.

Image
The last one. OMG it's so tiny! Sorry. So this is a 2-3 hrs challange of redrawing a screencap. I chose "Rebel without a cause" because I've watched it recently. I tried to make him look like James Dean at first but then I gave and decided to go for more of lighting study. Yeah. I like how the painting part came out. But some values on the jacket are wrong. And I know that. :/

So that's all and a lot. Feel free to tell me everything that's wrong with them! Critique is always appreciated! And if you know how to make people look like them and you have some advice I would love you forever...

I've always wanted to start doing commissions but I've felt that you need really big "audience" to do that (like 1k+ followers). So I never had guts because of my shyness, poor social skills and low self-esteem. My audience is still small but I've grown into realization that maybe I should try commissions right now. Do you think that I'm (I mean my art) ready to get clients? And how would you value my art? (is this how you say that? idk lol i'm not english. I mean how much money would you give for it?)

Can't wait to see your guys' opinion! CCC////:

Really? I like to think of it like I have one/two styles that are really... adjustable. If that's the word I'm looking for.

I don't really like those but... I guess I just need to practice more. XD It's a pretty new thing in my "skills set".

Can you guess what I'm watching and reading? lol

I really wanted to open commissions because I could use some money right now. But I have no idea how to price them. Can you help me guys? D:
I was thinking about 15-20$ for a thigh-up character. But I don't know. And I've seen that thread about artist underpricing themselves and I really don't know what to doooo... TTmTT The question that buggs me the most is: am I good enough to do that? :,C

I like how you draw ( specially the male characters ) I'm sure there are people , looking for that sort of spirits , but more than that I have the feeling your art could be useful in Quartett!-ish kind of Visual Novel specially the last picture you posted , looks rather good for that kind of Visual novel.
I'm actually talking about visual novels with different drawings for each dialogue !

and about the price , I think 15-20$ is just fine. If you are in need of money badly , you can lower it , but I wouldn't suggest doing that . maybe for the first request so that you can also get some experience on working with different groups but other than that , I wont suggest under pricing your works , It would be better to donate them under creative common license than selling them under priced !
I am very proud to be a part of this generous, nice and friendly community!
but please, don't go around telling people that their work is somehow off! thats not how critique works!
