Very mature artwork.. do you mind to share:

- Age (If P&C probably range?)
- Media? Since you said custom brush, what do you think the media suits more to?

Thanks, I'm really interested in learning artworks and art.

Nah.

Obviously WIP.

thx for the comments bro.
I would say that the scale variation was intentional, but if its too jarring to the point that you commented on it, that means it should be fixed. Which char in particular you think doesn't fit in scale?

*not little elf girl tho, she's supposed to be small. XD

Thx!

I am now officially fainted.     

Haha I really envy you digital painters with wacoms
I never get the color right >.<

I guess I'll just post another pencil work
no mad shadings here not sure if it resemble the real person
I'd like some harsh critique so I can improve !

i'm thoroughly bored. something's wrong with my tablet. i accidentally dropped a magnet on my tablet, and a portion of the tablet is now screwed. perhaps time to get a new tablet. i've had my graphire 2 for too long hehe.

this is the end product when i tried to figure out the extend of the damage on my tablet:



it's grimlock sock boy.

hmmm... i'm not sure how to say this without actually showing u how. certain things are better explained by example rather than description .

lets start with:

painter is subtly different from photoshop in terms of brushes. basically, what painter does is to imitate natural media as close as possible. this includes how each bristle behaves, the paint mixture and texture, how the paint interacts with the paper, and the paper itself. meaning, u can control the moisture absorption of the paper to produce different results. but i never get to use that.

if u're more of a photoshop user, u tend to immediately adopt photoshop style in painter. nothing wrong with that, but it might be why u cant grasp that natural feel to it. there's no real way to do this, other than to practice, familiarize, and practice again. it took me about 6 months to complete my transition to painter.

what i'm trying to say is, photoshop and painter can both achieve the exact same result. but the method of achieving can be very different. there are brushes in PS that could easily imitate acrylic on knife effects. painter on the other hand attempts to mathematically recreate the acrylic on knife effects. u may need to manually mix the colours gradually in PS, but painter will mix the colours just as the it would mix in the real world.

susah gila nak explain without demo

yes, respect others artwork. plagiarism not allowed!

btw, a self portrait of mine.

Expressionism. lulz

thanks for the comment~
i really feel overwhelmed by u guys coz I never have a friend who deeply into arts, and can comment truly and sincerely in art perspective. For the fanart, I'll leave it at that for this time and I'll try to improve with the next fanart.

meanwhile below is my latest landscape artwork created today. (my clock is little off so maybe the time is incorrect)

I'm researching how to draw/paint a tree and only today I got the formula quite rite, although not too good I guess. Also experimenting "star field" brush.

Critical comments are welcome~

nice job bro....im so jealous...

does anyone here tried corel painter X?

Painter is a good software.. but I think I prefer photoshop because I start doing CG with it. Maybe real painter/watercolor etc artist will benefit from it. I has a realbristle feature which simulate the brush textures, plus it will follow our pen tilt nicely far better than photoshop. I really like the rotate canvas feature, which allow us to rotate the canvas as same as we rotate paper in traditional on paper drawings. Yes we can do it in photoshop but I think we will lose some quality as doing a rotate in photoshop are as same as applying transformation (like filter, brightness etc).

thanks for ur opinion - yes very sorry for the lighting failure. So shall I darken the character or I need to re-do the shadow and lighting on her?

EDIT - Ok Ive done fix the lighting. hopefully this is correct.
