Play with perspective more alioth, that looks really awesome. The bottom right area is a bit less defined in terms of perspective but practice makes perfect eventually you just learn to adhere the same perspective to things after scrutinizing little inconsistencies over time.

Mollo, definitley getting somewhere. I recommend starting smaller if it were me... like, focus on smaller aspects and see if you can find a way to render each part, because there's no ONE way to render all parts of the face the same and have it look super cohesive. All of the parts are getting there, you have the basic idea and that's a great start. In bigger spaces it can be hard at first, but there is a lack of shadow in the face to define some of the features-- it just seems like the portrait is backlit by the background, but there really is a very bright area light, which slightly confuses the eye. Keep at it dood.

@Longgone, fukken sweet. Should build a background for that butterfree~

@Mirelle, love that pastelly look and colour palette, great job. One thing that feels inconsistent in my eyes is the focus of the details. The face are of course sharper and more defined, which is good because it's the focus, but by contrast, I think the hands need either more refining or more blur/distortion to draw more attention to that focal point. My 2C~

As for long gone and mollo, also delve deeper into perspective and anatomy fundamentals. It'll help you construct a realistic image (even if it's a cartoony style) because the spherical objects in longgone's drawing for example are very distorted (among other things).

Seriously everyone, fundamentals are important

Keep the scale in mind btw. If you want to position pillars evenly in perspective, make sure you keep your distance evenly receding. If you position them with the same amount of space every time without considering that they're receding into the distance you'll create gigantic distances the further back you go into your drawing. If that makes any sense.. The fourth pillar is an example of this. It's positioned WAY further back than the three pillars before it.

So? Saying you just started isn't going to magically make your drawings look better lol. Critique is critique, whether you're a seasoned artist or a newcomer. Take it how you will.

Worked on this just now...added some more detail to paper, but I'll be Photoshopping the rest of this concept~


I appreciate any and all critiques as long as they are insightful

PS the tower on the right is supposed to be in the middle of the Haunted Desert and the 'M' is the gate to the desert. Figured I'd clarify that to rid of some confusion

The layered buildings on the right still don't make sense depth wise and the pillars are still flat? Take a good look at what I added in your sketch.

I think it was a matter of too much going on in the picture...which tends to happen with me when I first start learning heh~ ^^; I made some more changes, but I'll be posting a final sketch result later today

Perhaps you should start simpler so you get to understand how different shapes look like in different perspectives. Like draw cubes, spheres, tubes, cones and things like that.

I'm probably going to do that today for all perspectives just so I get an idea of how they look I know that both two and three point perspectives will be difficult for me at first, but practice makes perfect XD

Be sure to experiment with construction of the shapes (eg. how a circle is drawn in perspective by drawing a square and drawing the circle within that square will help you construct objects like spheres, cones, tubes).

Doesn't mean perspective wasn't used. You use perspective for everything, including human figures and organic material. It's what gives it that sense of depth.

Here's an image where you see the effect more obviously because there are square objects in the picture:



Notice how the characters all follow the same direction as the box shaped slot machines? A human figure drawn in perspective is basically a bunch of spheres, cubes and tubes if you simplified it, hence perspective is necessary.

While it is still the 32-bit subforum, and I think a "Show your sketching" thread in the music board would be equally valid, I think auditory sketches are very welcome here.
