🌱 Let's Grow Together 🌱- DCC
|
D'aw, I like the new name! Spoiler:
I'm really linking the artist Flaptraps/Richard Anderson just for the cool strokes, textures, and shapes. I wanna practice that more, aha. But yeah, anyone or an art style really sparked your interest? |

How do you guys muster up some long-needed motivation to really get back into the swing of things after a long down period? |

Make sure if you keep old thumbnails or written ideas, to go through all of those again. If you don't keep those, you should! There's nothing like coming back to an idea you've already got some traction on. |

Lately I've been attempting to reconcile my love of monster hunter and drawing hot babes and questioning whether or not that makes me furry trash. It's very disconcerning imo. |

god it's true then isn't it im a furry wHAT HAPPENED Why did none of you tell me beforehand? & hey babe 8) |
Found and touched up a couple of old sprites, along with my new-ish Mega Rayquaza. Tail on MRay looks a bit shit, so I might fix that.
Spoiler:
Kind of sad people were calling them bad on imgur, but reddit was a lot more kind to me. Oh well! |
I don't see why people would be talking bad about those sprites, they look pretty good to me. Yes, there's stuff you can do to clean them up and improve them, but I think they're pretty successful attempts! You've got a few transition colors you don't need in those sprites and the colors are a little under-saturated, but that's really not the end of the world. They're pretty cool!
|
Aye, thank you! Decided to fuck around with them a bit, and I have to say I'm a lot happier with them.

My recent drawing. I am not good at coloring :P
Spoiler:
|
gorgeous artwork as always, dude! only thing is the background's a bit too... soft? just looks a bit too blurry. otherwise, fantastic.
Gonna post a couple of my imgur album links, mainly because the images are way too big for this site. http://imgur.com/gallery/kPOt5 http://imgur.com/gallery/Y7ILp they're some revamps/devamps I did a few weeks back. |
Quote:
I think most of your revamps were actually well done! I think you were able to really give an extra "oomf" with the shading you've done. The only few I'm iffy on is Houndoom. Where the neck is connecting to the body; the shading makes it look very flat compared to the rest of the body. Also, beyond the shading, I think the snout was edited? It's a little too sharp and skinny to be a canine's snout. Otherwise, I like most of them! Now to the devamps. Off the bat; Jirachi I think could've been done differently to be more successful like your Groudon. Groudon for sure is the strongest piece out of the bunch! With the palette and the amount of dithering shading with the black you did, it's readable and well made. Jirachi is readable! Don't get me wrong, but I think the amount of black is a bit harsh especially with the dithering shading on the arm and a bit of the head piece. I think with more white lighting on the head piece, you could play around with shading and building form with the yellow color. The blue I think would be awesome for shading the body because the body is alright a light value. The blue would be less harsh and give the blue more purpose! Rayquaza is pretty well done! I'd say the only thing is the tail that's more behind Rayquaza should probably be shaded more in black to show depth. Also I think you would be able to read the arm more clearly. Other than that, I gotta say Kyogre, Deoxys, and Groudon look really awesome! I hope it helps - I think you're doing fantastic work, yo! I liked your previous post with the Mega Rayquaza and Primal Groundon and Kyogre! Keep at it! c: |
Quote:
Yeah, bit too much black on the Jirachi, it's just that without it it feels really flat. Gonna try and find a better balance with it. But once again, thank you very much! |

Whoa it's been awhile since a post, huh? Well, I guess I'l ask a question then! |
Welp, i would be happy to accept critics that is meaningful, and also does not have harsh critics too.

Quote:
Both scenarios I think are good, I relate to them as well. I like asking both someone who understands art process how my work looks to them and I ask someone with little art background. Just to see if I got my message across or if someone says "Something looks off.." and then I can look at it myself and figure out what's wrong. It's fun to ask my friend, who is a graphic arts major, how my piece look when I'm usually surrounded by illustrators who care a lot about technique. Because he was taught more about communication and ideas, he can tell me if something looks really nice but the concept is boring. It's nice to have different perspectives, I guess is what I'm going for, aha! |
I think I mentioned this once in another thread in A&D (or maybe it was for something similar, but I'm remembering it wrong), but I'm no good with receiving criticism. It's very rare that I'll ask for critique, mostly out of anxiety. In fact, I don't remember if I ever have asked for critique in the three and a half years I've practiced any sort of art. Ironically, in most of the critiques I've done, I tend to be very harsh. It's a sign that I need to express what I'm thinking in words more, I think.

Also,ah, as you get to a point you're not satisfied with your work you might feel different about crits. Everyone feels anxious at some point about crits, but I'm sure it will get better for you! |

no passive aggressive nope not at all no sarcasm here either |
There's other ways of addressing artists besides critiquing their work to! Users who are not as familiar with art can always express themselves through the whole "compliment sandwich" technique, without necessarily going in depth into how a flaw can be improved, but providing a new and unique interpretation of a perceived "negative", for lack of a better term. Even posts that aren't the height of artistic feedback are certainly welcome! :)
As for encouraging better posting etiquette, well, I think you know where I stand on that. But! I do think the place to begin is to lead by example and hope others follow suit. |
Exactly! As artists sharing our art on a forum not dedicated to the subject, we should be mindful not to expect critiques that are immaculate, but willing to offer critiques of that calibre to our more advanced level artists and anyone looking to improve. It can come down to so many factors why one would not do an in-depth critique, but you're right, I do think it says something to have options and recourses available for those who wish to learn better ways of expressing their opinions to other artists.
What do you guys think of putting together a small, "here's a way to critique (advanced/novice editions etc)" resource? To help new members or remind veterans the real benefits of a proper cirque. Quote:

I started gathering some resources for examples and stuff. :x I'm open to help though! |
Haha, even better. ;)

Quote:
*checks* I've been lurking too many forums for this. But yeah, that would totally be great. |
I'm glad y'all are interested! I definitely want to get the point across we want to help and encourage artists to improve or look at something in a different perspective. I want to make it so that anyone can learn how to analyze art a little more critically no matter what skill level. You can explain or get past the "I think something is wrong but I don't know what" sorta comments. I guess those are my goals atm! More encouragement overall when making posts and to encourage people to discuss and talk. C: |
Quote:
But seriously if you guys wanna discuss this and move forward with it, just shoot me or Nina a draft. I trust y'all to get the right information together. @Johnny damn right we sticky dat shit all day. |
i've been working in the background already dw about it
My thought was not to have it as a stickied thread, but as a post inside the Rule & Guidelines thread. It's something that people should read when they enter the section and wouldn't have to worry about sticky clutter. |

The one small thing that might need some fixing is the piece of rock/land (?) in the middle. The curved line messes with the perspective of it. Your perspective of the cave walls and ceiling is great! I have to say - good job on the perspective and working on values! If I could suggest anything else, it just might be to go a little further in detail of the rocks. You have a good idea of lighting, you can look at caves and rocks and study the texture and lines to make it look like rocks! I think your outlines suggest it well, but you can make it more realistic with shading and lines. Rocks have different patterns sometimes, some have cracks on them with an indent, and so on! The shading is a little sharper in most rocks (smoother rocks and pebbles have softer looking shading) so you could have a ton of fun with that if you like geometric shapes! http://i.imgur.com/s5MSgqd.png Maybe your reference has more curved lines or shading - but either is good, have fun with it! But that extra time on making those rocks look real would be more engaging for viewers! c: |

Dude, your work is absolutely gorgeous, as usual. The background's a bit too undefined for me (really soft outlines), but it's still fantastic anyway.
Anyway, I was wondering if any pixel artists could answer these two surveys? It's for a school assignment and would be much appreciated. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ZDHVZ33 https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/XC8J76Y |
God dang it that pixel art nina, is that you da WITCH???????

In terms of visual arts, I guess I'd like to learn more painting skills/better lighting.
Not that though, I need to learn more about 3D again. |
Good Luck with watercolours and your new teacher Ana :D That sounds super exciting! And Nina you should totally do more 3Dness c:
Now that I have finally finished uni, right now I've been really hyped about getting back into Photography again and have been taking, editing and posting photos on instagram basically every day now. The other thing I'm planning for this summer is to learn how to do Branding properly and start doing social media graphics again. YouTube community here is quite big and often people will look for others to make banners for their channels, twitters and whatnot - Might see if I can make some extra money off it commissioning if I can. I want to do YouTube things for myself as well, but learning branding go first (heck i'm doing rebranding for myself atm). too many plans |

I think you might have took the meaning of gallery a little bit too traditionally! Here, we showcase our own works in our galleries like a portfolio. I'm going to merge this with the DCC, so we could talk about these artists there. : )

No issue!
Happy to help this thread grow. |
Y'ALLL JOIN THE ART EXCHANGE, it would be so much more fun with more people! ;u; |
Odd rowlet drawing.
Spoiler:
A friend of mine, eddie, drew this. He said it was a quick sketch he made during school. Not sure if it's good, or bad. |
why does it look like it's melting
|
I have no idea.
|
btw thanks for that, I didn't realize this section existed.
|
Hi, I'm the artist! As for why it's a bit on the melty side, I'm not sure... I guess it just sort of is?

Hey, so I haven't been on PC in ages, and I'm really not sure where to make this thread, so...
I painted a thing for the first time since second grade, and I really, really enjoyed it. Where would I post a picture of it for some good, solid critique/advice and maybe some instruction on techniques that I should be learning and practicing as a brand-new beginner to painting? I read the rules but still wasn't sure, it sounded like the School of the Arts section was just for people teaching. Sorry to be a bother. >.< |

So I have been on this site for awhile now, and something that I have always wanted was a signature that made my profile more unique. Problem is, I really don't know how to make one, or where to go asking so figured my best bet may be starting here. Anyone have any suggestions or leads by chance?
Completely understandable if not, just been thinking about it more lately. |
o.o wow some of these pieces are really good!!!
|
Hey artists, what's up? Updated your gallery lately? c:
|
I've been working so much, so reading your comment reminded me to just post a gallery soon lmfao |
Art? Uh.... yeah.... sure.
I did not forget to art >_>" |
i've told myself i'd post my gallery eventually, just never found the time D:
i have so much stuff it's kind of ridiculous lol |
I'm not really an artist, so I only rarely get into any type of drawing project. However as I've recently heard a lot about a piece of software called "Aseprite", I figured I might as well try it out.
Spoiler:
Still need to figure out a couple things and find a good color palette. But yeah, what tools are you using, if I may ask? :) |
I used to take pics of my cats and put here....... like once or twice :V I have 2037842902 cool catpics laying around that I could show I guess. More or less instagrammized ahah.

Yo, hey I'd like to see how people feel about this suggestion: |
Im actually wanted to make another drawpile session again so we can go drawing together again, so I would think it might be a good idea to host a drawing together session with a theme tho.

Okay recommendations wanted!
I'm looking to commission someone to draw from a photograph of a decreased pet (dog) and then maybe get it framed. Which dA artists that you follow do you think would be able to do it? What would I be looking at in terms of cost/shipping/etc? I live in Australia. This is a present I would need by the 17th of December. |
Quote:
though usually if they do animals/creatures well they can do pet portraits, how about hitting up ana ;) Were you looking for like, a detailed traditional painting? If you just wanted less real paint focus, it might be easier for you to ask the artist for a high quality digital file, that you could then print and frame yourself (I can help with how to get that done), as I suspect the cost and shipping to be pretty high even within your country itself, as well as limit the available artists you could use. Some artists actually don't know anything about high quality printing specs, considering how many services and digital alternatives there are, and also the shipping involved, or even just not having the time to do so. About what size were you after? Alternatively if you are looking for a traditional painting, you can check your local artist area. Pretty much every area has old time traditional painters, especially if you go to more rural areas. Though, seeing as you wanted to commission from dA, I'm guessing that's not what you're specifically after. Edit: Depending on the print shops in your area, you can also get the traditional painting scanned and printed on textured/canvas like paper that can really bring out the work. While it would be a pretty penny depending on the size, it would probably still cost less than paying the artist printing/framing costs AND shipping costs. It depends on your budget I guess! |
All good because funnily enough someone posted in a German Shepherd group I'm in literally a few hours after I made this post here and oh my God she's incredible. I've now ordered through her!
Hope this is okay to share: https://www.facebook.com/PetraArtOfficial/ Her dog/cat art is freaking amaaaazing. For anyone else coming here with the same question, deffo worth checking her out. |
Ohohohohohoh!
Can we share amazing pictures of animals? I did not take any of these pictures myself, but while I was volunteering at an animal shelter it was my job to make the animals as "marketable" and "desirable" as possible via graphic design. Well, one of the women I worked with was an amateur photographer and her photos are AMAZING! https://www.smugmug.com/gallery/n-hzhQ9k/ Her name is Collene and she really deserves more recognition for her work. I was absolutely taken aback when I saw such unexpected talent in such an unlikely place. :') |

You need three examples for a showcase! If you just want us to look at this one work, I can merge it into the DCC for you.

I really like this actually. I know it's just an aspect of the program, but that cyan on the dark-but-still-blueish background is really satisfying, if it had a larger margin around it all. You simplified it well, while still putting in all the details that matter. |
Quote:
I can probably mess around with the margins and make them bigger |
Been struggling to do anything artsy for a long time, but managed to churn out a little Shaymin for Inktober c:
