dex's progressive art thread, daerht tra evissergorp s'xed

stuff looks great dex =]

just keep working at the anatomy and i am sure you will get it down as good as your pixelart.
speaking of which i love the C64 and the one with the glowing eyes.

thanks you two. the only fix for anatomy is continuing to practice it, which i shall do.

<3

quick thing i forgot

that measurement i used in my pic (a) is also the width of the head
very useful

and you of course you probably know all this stuff:

once again dont follow to hard or your faces will all look the same

I suggest you learn to draw the skull, its the most essential part of making your face look like a head and more 3 dimensional

thanks for this

although in this case it's not as useful because there was a reference i used and, as you said, it's not always the same for each person.

but yeah, that info is very essential for head construction. people will surely find this useful.

(BTW why don't we ever talk on msn? we have such similar usernames and art interests we should be the best of friends :V)

well i havent been on msn much....mainly because of art and school
but sure we vill chat now >:3

just some small updates on these two

people have shoulders bro

yeah, must not have defined them as well as i should have during the blocking out

i'll fix it, thanks

in the meantime: update on my c64 hires. still WIP and it doesn't meet the restrictions...everywhere!

woah bro.

Do more stuff with colour restrictions.


That tree is beautiful.

using restrictions makes you think creatively, it's fun, i'll have to do more!

thanks.

Awesome

I love that tree

Dude, all your pixel drawings are so legit. Makes me nostalgia bomb on old DOS Windows games.

God why are you so good.

All your pictures are amazing but that lady face you're making bugs me since it looks like she has a strange dent in her face next to the cheek bone.

acrylic painting i did tonight, the quality is terrible thanks to my CELL PHONE!!!!!

it's my third attempt at painting, btw.

but yeah thanks for all the comments guys <3

@YForce, i see what you mean, i'll try and fix it by my next update! =)

Looks great, but I'd recommend using some thinner brushes to add more detail.

i do have smaller brushes, but i need a *cough* stiffer *cough* one, it feels like i lose control with the smallest brush i have

thanks though, i'm glad you like it. i can't wait till' art class.

I'm not sure what the intent was, but it doesn't look like the man is actually looking at the eye. He appears to be looking at the left side of the frame.

hehe, that was the first intent, but further into production i found i hadn't angled the head enough and just let him peer off into the distance. there's supposed to be a weird connection between him having no eye and the all seeing eye in the sky, if you understand.

surrealism, in a way. at least that's how ptoing put it. i can understand your view, haha, i'd probably view it that way too if i didn't explain it.

hope this helps people understand what i was thinking during the process
