got improvement compare with your old artwork

Thanks~~

Finally decided to stick with this art style after experimenting all sort of styles for the past artworks. Thanks to all of the comments here lol.


Btw, not doing any shorts now? Kinda missed ur rain composition. Heheh.

A draft for Give the Gift for Art competition. Not detailed and fully colored yet, but it gives the clear idea on the message that I'm trying to send.

Wow good luck!

Thanks, but it would be nice if got any advice. Might as well hoping to get any help here and there. Heheheh.

What kind of advice do u need? Idea or technique?

Now that I have grasped the foundation of my style, but it still lack the 'punch' that it need to make it more eye catching. It would be too long if I go find it on my own. The only thing I could do now is improving the background to make it bolder and complement the orb to the subject, but I have no idea how to do it.

If you ask me, I'm also a bit weak and inexperienced in concept, but theoretically, something eye-catching would be usage of vibrant colors, something bold and strong but not excessive in that sense. You can also try to bring on the subject more by giving it more dimension, put it in it's place, add more dynamics and style.

Of course I was just subjectively speaking, I am leaving it all to your imagination.

Nice concept!

Maybe add a bit of contrasting teal/blue-green to the light shining from the figure's chest? Right now it's very monochrome in color scheme, nothing wrong with that but if it's a punch you're looking for some accents of contrast color won't hurt. It'll also make the red brighter, however.

Thanks for the replies.

So it has something to do with unique color variation...
Will try adding more hues and experimenting with a lot of colors. I guess two tones wouldn't be enough for this kind of artwork.

Depends on the theme u are going for, from what I see from the illustration, the most effective thing to do is you need to add more impact into it, i.e Explosion of colors, contrasts and whatnot, monotonous palette will make it very boring to see.

more drawings :3
human drawing quality not consistent. :/

Explosion of colors, contrast is still a bit hard for ma to fathom lol. All I can do is google around and make reference from it. Anyway, still a good advice and I really appreciate it.

Love the calming, cute and happy family drawing.

Haha sorry about that, I always type out things like that, generally.

Oh well, let me share with you what is "godlike" in my book, and these are the epitome of the terms I used earlier.













Get it? Stay inspired folks and have a good day.

Ok, its godlike level...

Kinda expected the explosion of colors is like what I see in abstract painting, but seeing that makes me "wth, mix n match color is sooo like rocket science" cuz I really dont have the eyes for colors. Only good at imitating others and reapply them to my works.

Here's another try on a similar color scheme, but in portrait.
The frills alone take 8 hours to paint.

easy way are just understand what is complementary colors, compound complementary first. (use in movie color grading, painting etc) you always see they boost the cold color blue in shadow

the last foto share by seba are good example of color scheme.
blue/purple + orange/yellow

Not a digital painting, but my 3D modeling assignment from class
