Topic: Assholes wanted (critisism) - 9th work up

Posted under Art Talk

I can't think of any specific issues right now (tired), but yeah, you're definitely getting better.

You're getting better bro. The right hand looks a tiny bit small imo (I know hands are harder to draw but...). Also, make sure the elbows aren't too sharp, the sharp angle makes the arm look like a bent straw. Other than that, pretty sweet.

Edit: Is "veneer" the character's name?

Yea, hands, feet, and genitalia are the bane of drawing...
Still working on it. Thank you for the heads up on the elbow bend. I will keep it more shallow next time.

Veneer is the character's name.

Excellent. I'll make sure it gets made into a character tag. Because I was wondering the same thing, except Husky beat me to it.

As for feedback, I have not learned how to shade so I was staying out of this one. However, I did notice a few things: 1, the tail seems kind of flat on the left side of the picture. It looks a little better towards the end on the right side of the picture.

And 2, the grey markings seem to go farther across her ribs on the right side of the picture than they do on the left side of the picture. And the white coloring across her belly seems to go farther onto her side on the left side of the picture than it does on the right side of the picture. It makes the markings look a bit lopsided. It doesn't quite look intentional.

3, I also wish the hair had a little more dimension and depth. It's just a dark area with nice edges on top of her head. A little more texture or shading or gradation might help it seem more like hair and less like a hair-shaped void.

Sadly, shading is not my expertise. If no one else speaks up, I'd look online for some tutorials about shading. It should help you refine some of your results.

I notice a white outline around the hair and the body, like almost a bad crop, the white outline looks a bit odd. The reflection on the floor doesn't match up with whats above it either, it just looks a bit off. Other then that her 'tuna' looks a tad bit small

Yes, I noticed that too. I had put highlights in the hair to try and give it depth and texture. Although, I did this while the image was at 5000x5000 pixels. When done, I re-sized it for FA and here. Once the re-sizing was done, the highlights turned into nothing but a bad crop look. I will have to research on why it did that. I had that happen with the last two black-haired characters I worked on. I am wondering now if it has to do with the color...

thank you again for the heads up.

Not sure if it was said already, but her left boob looks a teensy little bit too small compared to the other one, also it might just be me but it looks like her ribcage is a bit angled roll-wise compared to her shoulders. Again that's just something a little bit of nudging here and there should fix.
Can't really help you with shading, but from what I see it seems the shadows are in the right place.
Other than that and what has already been said before, I think it looks rather solid.

Yeah... I fought with that breast for a bit too. Tried to make it just noticeably smaller to mimic one breast being closer than another. Apparently it was too drastic, haha!

I will watch those minute perspectives on my next piece.
