I think it's Bane's pet imp, mostly.

[Urist McScoopbeard]

Lol, ya. That's all I could think of as I was drawing him(?), I was like "God, this is cute Bane as a demon."

well done.

As for the pages, they're believable. Do they look like hair from some angles? possibly.

Posting this here because help I don't know how to background.

Any tips, bearing in mind that I don't have a tablet?

Selection tools are your friend, while not in any way easier to use with the mouse, atleast you'll have a good control of your edges that'll help you define stuff. As is, the background is just a blurry mess. I suggest using the selection (lasso, polygonal lasso, whatever you like, even combining several for best results) tools and then either fill or gradient to create large shapes. Using atmospheric perspective to create an illusion of depth.

Anyways, another somewhat serious piece from me, took a couple of hours while watching the Level Up stream (real nice if you want to see great artists working and chatting about stuff), there's some issues that the FB group pointed out that I may or may not go back and fix (namely, making the composition a bit more interesting and fixing the issues of atmospheric perspective on the clouds and ship)

This was fanart for a forum adventure on the MSPA forums.


And this I painted a little while ago. I call it "Swimmers". It was digitized with a phone camera, which I think went fairly well. The colours don't look quite right on my monitor, but they're close enough.

EDIT: Also crossposting this thing from the "art learning thread", because why not.

Working with multiple light sources is suprisngly fun. Now all that's left is to finish the face (too tired to give it any shape right now) and slap some proper colours and effects on the poor guy.

[Urist McScoopbeard]

Wow, I love it. He reminds me of the final boss of the castlevania: lords of shadow dlc. What was your inspiration for this picture, any reference?

[Jopax]

Nothing really, I was doing some study/sketching and I got bored of it so I opened up another canvas and started doodling. The doodle seemed interesting so I kept at it untill I got that.

[Soadreqm]

Jopax: That reminds me of Chernobog, or whoever it was, from Disney's Fantasia. That demon guy from the Night on Bald Mountain.

As for myself, some charcoal doodles. I think it's been close to a decade since I last used this stuff.

First of all, CHARCOAL! yes. Your sketches remind me of Star Wars.

Secondly, I remember how terribad I was at draw people so I've decided to invest some time in to figure/face/pose/human drawing. Starting with a face.

There's a lot wrong to be sure, but if anyone want's to point some particular things out that'd be great!

I'm not an expert by any means, but I think the greatest offender is the upper lip. The lips portrude (is that the right word?) too much, too sudden. Just going to throw in some reference:

Spoiler: First google result for "face profile" (click to show/hide)

You can see the lower lip is portruding, I think it goes a bit less sudden than in your drawing, but the upper lip is level with the skin. Just changing the upper lip might help a lot, not sure. Also the nose and eyes might be a tad too big, but I'd wait for an expert opinion on that

I love your use of shadow and light. It gives a lot of depth to the whole piece.

This is pretty good! Even the bits that are off manage to look stylized rather than bad.
For a realistic face, I'd say the biggest issue here is that the eyes and nose are too big. Specifically, the bit of the nose between the eyes. The nose bridge? The cranium looks too small, and there's something really weird that I can't put my finger on about the hairline.

I've never done any kind of portrait work, other than sprites, so I'm pretty proud of the way this turned out. However, I can't quite seem to get the arms right - they're supposed to be bent slightly forward, but detailed perspective is kind of tricky. I might need to color it to get it to be apparent, but I really don't know how to make that happen. I'm having difficulty perceiving how the light would fall in a way that helps with that (especially because she'd be extremely backlit). The tassels on the epaulettes are probably key, here, but I'm not sure how to make that work, either. Any thoughts on that? Tips in general would be good, too.

Also, I'm sad because I foolishly forgot to save a version with all the path information intact. Realized it the second I closed it. Blah. Gonna have to redo a lot with the shoulders.
