I've returned to BYOND and so I thought the first thing I should start improving is my Art. I decided to improve my Profile's Avatar(the sad portrait of myself), after about 80 or so minutes I think it's looking better. Theres still something wrong with it, but I just can't find it. So please give me C&C.

in your last one, the colours are very unsaturated, might vbe usefull to make the face more vibrant by using less grey. Wow, looks alot better. I liked what you did with the lips and I edited it and used less gray, went alittle tanner though since I'm not that pale. I'll be fixing the hair's shading in a bit. I'm not happy with it now that I think about it. |

the lips bother me, try changing the colors, perhaps darker?

Ah, k. Well i was roughly working off the palette he was using before. And you're right, the new one looks brilliant.

Nice to see your improving on old art, i was going through the same process before college and work picked up.
As for your edits, the problems that you should address are pretty simple really, your pallet and shading. The pallet really lacks contrast and has a dull look to it which really flattens the image and makes it dull, if you want to give the image volume then ramp your pallet and add contrast to the shades, this will make it a lot easier to show the facial features like cheek bones, nose eye lids etc on other levels. Also keep the pallet down, i see unnecessary shades in there, attempt to limit yourself if possible. Shading wise is ok but dither is really not needed, colour transitions on a face is pretty easy to show so just keep it simple and you will be fine, as for the hair rather then doing thousands of lines keep it simple also by doing it in bigger pieces, it will look cleaner and a lot better. here is a quick demonstration of what i was trying to tell you(hair hasn't been touched) (Left - yours, right - my edit) |
