First painting thing I have done with my new tablet. Whatcha think? And how can I make it look more like like?

I wasnt sure if I should keep the outline but as you can see, I did. I think if I wanted it to be more realistic I should have done it without the black lines/outline.

I kinda messed up his left cheek. C&C would be nice. Thanks.

Everything is good from the bottom up -- all but the head.

It definitely doesn't look realistic, but I do kinda like the cartoon-ish feel.

looks pretty good. i like the cartoony watercolor-ish feel to it. the arms really bug me though becuase of the coloring. they're really white and have no shadow at all. i would color them more to make them look like the face/neck that you have. especially the left one really needs shadowing of some kind.

Ok. Right now I am using dodge and burn for shadowing. cause if I use the brush and just change the color, it just doesn't look as good. And how can I make it more realistic? Should I just try and add more lighting details?

^Yeah, adding more details would help. Also, outlines usually take away from realism a bit, especially when they're really shaky.

I like the different parts of it, but none of them seem to go together. The head, chest, arms, hair, hat, etc. all look like they were done in a different style.

I'm in love with the shoes, though. I'm not sure why, but I am.

Well as I was drawing I used the outline so I kind of become dependant on it. Here is what it looks like without:



It just looks goofy so that isnt gonna work. But i still like how it looks on everything, except for the face.

Heres an update:



I tried to add more detail to the face. Especially the nose. Still trying to make the yes look realistic.

arms look way better now. i think the head in general might be too small...i don't know. it seems really small for the body but maybe that's just me.

haha, I think thats just his body. I outlined pretty much perfectly. I know i know...I outlined it... its a cheap move. Hopefully I will learn to do it just by looking at it in the corner.

Here is the original photograph.



And, sure I want it to look like him, but im not trying to mimic him exactly.

XD.gif As for the drawing, it looks alright but it sorta seems choppy and the head just seems weird/small. Otherwise, it looks good! thumbsup.gif

Woah you all look so much alike.

I think your edit looks a lot better. Everything looks nice but adding small details would make it look even better. thumbsup.gif

Good one.


There is a huge height difference between us though. And age. 14, 15 and 18.

Next take a I make something with my tablet I will try and make it more like a painting. I think my problem was that I was kind of just tracing then coloring it in.

Ill do it more of a style like this.

Using lighting to define parts, not lines. Even though in this case, I kept the lines cause I never did his face.
