Art Archive Fan Art Class Version 5.0 {{New Assignment up May 29th: Eyes.}}

LOLOL!! well any art class makes me draw, and that makes me happy and a happy ex mod is a... ok, never mind

Thanks for the critique! I don't think I can fix it on this drawing (silly paper can't handle much erasing) but I'll try it again sometime

Eyes is good idea!! Or Metal maybe.

 

Hmmm . . . Eyes and metal . . . Ooo, I got it!

Ta Da!

Just kidding. I'll see if I can dig up some real eyes somewhere.

Well, I supposed I can't lose anything but my reputation, which is shot anyway. So here goes:
Terrible Jaina
Do your worst, I won't mind, any help with a technique for forming the side of the face easily?

 

the nose and lips are looking like one of those old statues of the pharao's. the lips are a bit to much forward but the nose is OK

 

Thanks.

I don't draw like that on my wacom pad much, so it was kind of an experiment for me too. For one thing, I turned the opacity way down. I was using a brush with 0% hardness at about 20-30% opacity. That's how I got the softer look. Whatever I wanted darker I just went over a few more times. I lifted the pen tool a lot too. Which, at a low opacity, is actually fairly forgiving.

As for the shape and all, I have a love affair with layers. I never touch the background. I always use a new layer for everything. So I initially sketched out the shape of the face and the position of the eyes and nose on a layer in thin lines using a very light color. Then I used a new layer over that for the actual drawing and shading and all.

Like I said, it was an experiment for me but if that helps out all, good.

 

Thanks for the imput everyone, I'll watch those things next time.

Will have a new assignment, featuring eyes, up shortly.

[color=blue][b]Assignment Three: Eyes.[/b][/color]

[blockquote][color=darkblue]Debatably the second most difficult part of the face to draw. So here are the eyes, by popular request.[/color]

[color=darkblue]Gotta love Japanese covers. [face_love]
I figure there's a few eyes there you can draw, I'd be willing to accept four full-drawn eyes as a submission if you don't want to draw a whole face. Not that I have any authority anyway. [face_wink] Do whatever you want.[/blockquote][/color]

[hr][/blockquote]

[color=darkblue] I actually do have a few suggestions for this one:
[ul][li]The eye is roughly almond-shaped, but with little indentations on both sides and the bottom is more flat.[/li][li]The iris tends to be dark on the outside, then lighter, then darker.[/li][li]It helps to have the line that defines the bridge of the nose go right to the top of the eye.[/li][li]Check out some of [link=http://boards.theforce.net/fan_art/b10020/17799440/p1/?2451]FalconFan's art[/link], she does great eyes. [face_grin][/li][/ul]

Note: I'm thinking it'll take less than three weeks, seeing as you guys are so fast. But better safe then sorry.[/color]

 

YAY thank you TG!!!!!!!!

whoohoooo great choices!!

 

This is a tough one. Likenesses are hit or miss for me so sometimes I'll try to go a little to the caricature side to cover it but I did not do that here. I missed but it's close. I cannot figure out where I missed but it's still cool & not bad.

Now that I look at it again I think I was trying 2 things at once. I was trying caricature & portrait together & it's not working. I think maybe the eyes are a little too big as well.

 

I finished some eyes!

Firstly though, you're welcome Nidrail, glad you like them.

Secondly, welcome Boilingman! Nice job, I agree with you a little bit though, regarding the portrait/caricature blend. The only thing the eyes could use is some shading on the iris, I usually do what FF does and do dark, light, dark, then the pupil.

Okay, here're my attempts at eyes.

Hardly a masterpiece.

Labeled for your convenience.

Sorry, Darth Procrastination made me think he was my friend. Very sorry everybody.

Nice job on the eyes Earlybird, the only thing I could criticize is that they're a little different. Other than that they're fine.

Okay, what does everyone want for the next assignment?

Once again, sorry for being so late.

 

hands or a full body picturing action?

 

Hey, great idea with this class!
What about showing emotions (sadness, happiness etc.) and impressions in a face. This could always be a great challenge...

 

That's a pretty tall order, but one that I'm been thinking about too.

I'd like to come to a consensus about the class, rather than doing the dictatorial thing and just pick on of your guys' selections.
