I like the character design and i think it would look even better a little more simplified (line and color). Think Sundown a short film by Gobelins students
Livinghhh-Cancel4181 OP t1_j2cbzs9 wrote
really? you dont think it’s already simplified enough?
reggiedoinreggie t1_j2ce37u wrote
Yes, but contrasted with the super detailed hair it’s a bit jarring. I’d also just go with one shade rather than multiple. That being said just my 2 cents. Either way the piece is good

i appreciate your insight, i’ll improve it next time

I love this and I’d like to say I’m not an artist before I give my critiques
-buds left knee looks a lil off but it still looks great not sure how to animate it more -the ash of the cigarette is cylindrical like the cigarette itself and it holds a bit of texture -smoke from the mouth is lit but the smoke off the cigarette will be thicker and unaffected by the blowing of air out the lungs

Why a darker shade of green shape behind him? And why is his hair that pink?
Livinghhh-Cancel4181 OP t1_j2bjm85 wrote
its red hair but its just an original character i have in mind for a manga i want to make but the green shade is supposed to be a chair but i got lazy with details lol
mtnslice t1_j2a1vh1 wrote
I believe the dark green is shadow, in which case it should be going off to the left more since the light source is from the right

Livinghhh-Cancel4181 OP t1_j2bjnnt wrote

The right leg looks weird; the shoe is sideways and the leg looks too small.
Not a criticism, but rather a statement: He has some really long fingers.

i appreciate it, i didnt know how it would look at an downward angle and was just going based off imagination and trying to layer the anatomist, how could i improved?

Seems to be scissoring the cigarette instead of holding it?
Livinghhh-Cancel4181 OP t1_j2bitby wrote

foreshortening of the feet is more dramatic than the hand on the knee
Livinghhh-Cancel4181 OP t1_j2biz6f wrote
could you explain a little more about the foreshortening the feet please, like did you mean making them smaller for the perspective?
545R t1_j2bkrsb wrote
yeah, if you are going for realism, which this art style isn’t usually used for. but if you look at the face and left hand as closest to the viewer, they would be the biggest, and the right hand is halfway to the feet, but about the same size as the left. then there’s the little chiba feet.
the beauty of art though is you can do what you like, so long as you feel like you made that choice on purpose
edit: foreshortening can appear different depending on the viewing method, so maybe both hands are fine and then the feet are too small. you can understand what i mean by this by thinking of a camera: the size of the aperture, lens, and distance all work together differently, but in all of it, the base reference point is how things look natural to the human eye
Livinghhh-Cancel4181 OP t1_j2bll8v wrote
well ur right, my style is like a mix between realism and anime but im honestly still in my experimental phase and trying to see what works the best, the face is what i like but i feel like if i stray too much of a cartoon feel then it’ll look childish, but i also want it to look realistic
so are you suggesting that i should have made the right hand smaller since i made the feet so small as well?

propotional appendages either way
when you say watercolor, you mean some kind of digital type watercolor?

yea

Looks nice! Preportions are a bit off to me, the arms and the legs look similar and I think you were trying to make them shaded but it just looks off. Maybe just me tho!
Livinghhh-Cancel4181 OP t1_j2bj2xl wrote
could you explain how they look off? i can see what you mean but i just dont much similarity but thank you for the insight
Chaotic_Genderfluidx t1_j2bmi0e wrote
The arms look bigger then the legs—the positioning isn’t right for them if your trying to have a position- I don’t know quite how to describe it, with the angle the picture is from, you want the legs to be smaller, but the width of the shoulders is too big, it comes off as badly preportioned

Not sure what's going on with the right ankle. Is the black a shadow or the top of a sock the same colour as his skin?
Livinghhh-Cancel4181 OP t1_j2c1iio wrote
i tried to make a shadow lmao
halborn t1_j2c37ac wrote
What makes it hard to tell is that the ankle shadow is so much blacker than the other shadows in the piece. It would read better if it were simply a darker shade of the skin colour.

Just had to put that there ahead of time. People will say something like that.
Livinghhh-Cancel4181 OP t1_j2bj9eq wrote
eh, not worried about that, people have their own tastes when it comes to smokinh

I think you’ve done very well! Only suggestion would be going for more of a 3/4 overhead view for that foot on the character’s right leg. It seems odd that it’s nearly a side view of that shoe. ☺️
