Would just like to get some general feedback on this still life in terms of color, value, shape, edges, etc. Or just any advice when it comes to the medium of oil painting since i'm sort of new to it. I painted it from life and unfortunately (and stupidly) decided disassemble the subject before I had a chance to take a photo of it. So the reference photo of the re-arranged still life I've attached isn't completely accurate in terms of proportions. Thanks!

I did this piece for a graphic design class I'm taking, before i submitted it, what do you think about it? Is the composition ok, what about the lighting on the form, I think the anatomy of the main characters looks fine but what do you think? Also i was wondering if I should detail all of the other background characters, or should I let them bleed out of the focus and leave them roughly? any thoughts would be great, thanks.

My name is markus and I'm just finishing school this year, here are some paintings that I've done recently. If you have suggestions or critiques on these pieces feel free to do so. I wish to improve my illustration, for example, characters interacting in environments. Some artists I admire are Craig Mulls and Devin Korwin. I love their use of brushwork and composition. Besides studies, what should I focus on practicing? Color, composition, or anatomy? I think I need to improve on all 3 areas, but based on the images below, what do you think I should target my practice on? below are some landscape, illustration, and portrait paintings. i would especialy like critiques on the ilustrative paintings (characters acting with environments). thank you, feel free to check out my other work or reach out to me personaly on instagram @markus_does_art

I'm trying to find the right colors and to blend them together. I'm using procreate program

I've been wanting to put some more time into painting with gouache lately so I'm starting a study thread, feel free to join in! Here are two pieces from this weekend's attempts. The first is a Dean Cornwell study done along with a livestream from Jeff Watts. Clear reference was tough to find, so I just went along with the process I saw Jeff work though in the video. I spent about 3 hours on the Cornwell study and then applied the same process to an original sketch I did of Norman Rockwell from a black and white photo, which also took about 3 hours. Still getting the hang of organizing values on the palette, I feel like my palette gets crazy and disorganized quickly, so by the end of the Rockwell piece I was hunting and mixing a lot more to get back to the appropriate values. I'd love any feedback, suggestions, notes or revelations you've had during your own gouache adventures!

hi i am new in the plataform, I´ve been practicing my watercolor technique, and I´d like if someone could give me some feedback about it, every comment it is welcome I want to know your point of view :)

I been out of commission due to an arm injury. but finally back to work

Drawing is a passion for me and one of the most creative ways to express myself. With every stroke of my brush or pencil, I strive to push the boundaries of imagination, making the world more colorful and meaningful. Through my illustrations, I aim to inspire people and stir their emotions. Throughout my artistic journey, I've worked on various projects, leaving a piece of myself in each one. I love telling stories through colors, shapes, and compositions. My work is often inspired by nature, people, and everyday life. If you’d like to join me on my artistic journey and follow my illustrations more closely, I’m active on social media as well. I’d be thrilled to have you as part of my Instagram community, where I share my work. Additionally, if you’re looking to gain more engagement and likes on social media, you can see more.

Looking to practice painting techniques for digital art. My goal is to improve my workflow so I can create some 2d animations.

Ok so I decided to do a study on various painters and artist. I was wondering how to do that properly so I get the most out of it.

Hello, I am new to posting my art online but would like some objective feedback. For context, I am a begginer and have been doing studies of landscapes in goache for a few months and wanted to try combining a few reference images together in my own composition. I have included my thumbnails and one of my reference images, my goal was for the effect to be similar to a Disney animated background, like snow white. I wanted this to be a dense forest with a low canopy and mossy floor. My main questions are: - I had alot of issues with the colours, especially the tree trunks and the background, I tried to implement things like ambient light but I think that I am missing something. - I don't know how to show the perspective of the branch coming toward or away from the camera. I have learnt some perspective but found it hard to show in paint, should I have constructed the sketch more? Or is it a lack of gouache skill? -I wanted this to be a dense forest, but have I made the background too dark? Thank you so much to anyone who can help me, I really appreciate your time.

Hi! I just finished my first ever piece (from sketch to color woohoo!). So, i made a small sketch and ends up doing a full piece for the first time. It took about 20hours in the past week. Experimenting and all. But i noticed that i worked on a small sketch all the time. I'm still learning but it was odd... but i think that it was easier? and i really had fun painting pixels! It turned out ok i guess, but it's small. I have the Ipad 9nth gen and Pencil 1. Any tips for a good canva size to start sketching? My canva was 9x11. Of course critics for everything else are welcome too! And i never really done a piece in color, help appreciated for that. Thank you!

I just started with painting and wondering how to improve my skill in painting any advice would be helpful.

Hello everyone I just made this digital painting to brush up my painting

I've been working on this one for a little while. This is a gouache study of an Alex Ross painting. I'm trying to follow along with what I know about his process. In this book, "Mythology" he does a demonstration of his process where he does a black wash underpainting before he adds color. I'm just about done with the underpainting and will start on the color probably tomorrow.

Hi, I'm looking for an online oil painting course for beginners, and would be interested to hear any thoughts or recommendations. I've tried finding one on my own, and the ones I'm thinking about taking are on New Masters Academy (Charles Hu's "Oil painting for beginners" and Joseph Todorovitch's courses) and on youtube (SIMPLIFY Drawing and Painting). Do you have any thoughts about these? Are there other courses you would rather recommend? I studied Alla Prima II thoroughly this spring and I have been trying to apply that knowledge during the summer. But I feel like I need someone showing me the basic procedures step by step. I want to be able to paint realisticly, to faithfully capture what I see. Some artists that I like are: Anders Zorn, Richard Schmid, Joaquin Sorolla and Kazuo Oga Thanks in advance!
