Any more advice on learning anatomy? I'm trying to get better by drawing more figures but it's probably better to draw naked figures right?

Painters always start by painting an apple !Very nice. At 300x168 I couldn't even tell it was a painting, it looks delicious.NetMapel said:Deliciousapple.jpg

I'm happy that I'm doing some quick sketches in Photoshop for GAF's NHL thread now because it helps me get used to Photoshop and tablet more
Haha, people in the other fields are smart by telling future competition to go away. Lawyers tell students to go away because they won't make it into big law. Computer scientists tell students to go away because their jobs are being outsourced. Accountants (I was one) tell students to go away because their jobs are boring. Artists, on the other hand, tell students to do their best and work hard, yippieeee !
Don't use grays to shade. Use a color with the appropriate hue, like green or blue. Gray makes images look dull. Keep it in mind.

That's not true at all. You can create a base in grayscale and then work from there to add colors and get really bright colors. Keep it in mind.
Of course, using colors from the beginning will get you even better results, but using grayscale can be also useful to learn how to illuminate objects, so saying "Don't use grays to shade" is a bit too much.
Anyway, a couple drawings:

(Used a grayscale base for this one and added colors at the end)
(Went with colors right from the beginning for this one)
(This one is not yet finished, but I'll give a little bit of color to this one whenever I'm done with the main details)
Some color and light training.

geez Mik, NSFW!
Thanks a lot for the tutorial link. I've been wanting to learn some painting fundamentals for a long time now. The finer points of value and lighting can seem pretty intimidating to me sometimes. This guy's stuff looks like it could be of great help.
Any other tutorials you could recommend to a (digital) painting beginner?
;P

finished this image a while before xmas but wasnt able to put it online until now. it was for a workshop and cover image for ImagineFX magazine. thankfully i could do anything i wanted aslong as i created a step by step workshop on the image. so i chose to do a more surreal image all about beauty and how it is not eternal.
finally able to show this "making of" type video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaBid_f5jrs
figured art gaf would be interested

Sorry for stretching the page...
So this was a project done for class last semester. The objective was to cut a hole through every page in a magazine, scan 5 of the most compelling images into the computer, and in Illustrator, incorporate typography using the provided text from the project outline. The challenge was to create a strong relationship between the images and the provided text while working in a random process.

I really like that transparent black fabric on your drawing Arcipello, it frames the figure nicely.

Awesome stuff as usual, guys!
I missed lurking through this thread. :>
Here's a fun meme to use just to get an overview of things that have been going on with you artistically over the last few years!
Unfortunately for me, it doesn't really seem I have improved all that much! It even looks like a took a dip in ability and never quite made a rebound!
Anyway, maybe some of your remember me saying a long while back (might have even been a couple of years back!) that I had Painter X but did nto yet touch it. Well, I finally touched it this year! So, that's kind of like an improvement! Still dont' knwo what I'm doing in it though, and I don't have a good grasp of colour theory, but here's was my first effort:
I had a lot of trouble with trying to figure out how to control the brushes and brush settings, and what the heck was happening with water colours/drying the canvas.
Note that I did some image editing and resizing and adding text in Paint Shop Pro 7.
Next was a more serious effort with some fan art (Fire Emblem 7--plus me as the tactician). This was was coloured in Painter X. Note how long the legs are! I actually draw people shorter (about 6 - 6.5 heads tall), but I wanted the image to match more with whatever style the Fire Emblem artist does (which is like.. 7-8 heads tall). The legs for the following images were therefore stretched in PSP7 by up to 15%... digital witchcraft!
Painter X became kind of a hassle because I wasn't used to it, so I used it less, and PSP7 more to colour. I had a lot of trouble trying to outline the girl, Elly, after I finished colouring on top of a pen sketch. I also mostly coloured in PSP7 and then brought it into Painter X to get more smoothing/blobbing or something done. But the process was kind of a hassle, so for the next image, I cut back on Painter use even more.
Elly is an original character that I was just inserting into the Fire Emblem 9-10 universe for fun. She was supposed ot be a mounted unit (pegasus, dragon, or horse), but the animals never liked her, so she's really just an on-foot unit now, like a halberdier, but without shield skills. My idea about her as a character was one that constantly upgrades her gear, so you may see more of her in the future with different armour on.
As for Elly's brother, Painter X was only used to create his outline. I discovered the ball point pen brush, I think! Finally! I used it to create the outline on top of the original sketch, then the rest was completed in PSP7, and I think the results were better than my earlier battle.. and much faster too!
Ennes is some type of mage-scholar that is kind of bad at being a mage due to clumsiness (my brother says he looks like a sucky NPC mage). I think my main inspiration for him as a character was something like a male Lina Inverse--magic user that travels around to collect treasures, participate in wacky hijinx, and winding up in dire situations.
So, looking forward to seeing more of your awesome stuff, and I'll have a look through the links you posted, Raging Spaniard. Maybe something will give me motivation to actually learn to art better!

Those fanart pieces are great! Neat retrospective too. I saw the template on DA but Im hesitant to fill one out, since I dont keep a good backlog of when something was made :|
Hope you find some of those links useful. Its all kinda random, but its fun to share finds and stuff, post some if you have any!
Oh yeah, art wise I like to do a new Raging Spaniard piece every year to use as an avatr and what not, so heres the full version of my current one

I need tips for dynamic poses, keeping constant and comic inking.
