Hey SVS people! What do you think of this thumbnail of some concept art for a short story I’m thinking of right now? Any critiques and comments are welcome! Thank you!

@skillydan that’s a great idea, thanks!

@chrisaakins trust me I’m not better than you . Thanks so much for the advice! It is a part of a comic I’m making, but I think you’re right because I also want it to be stand alone. Thanks a lot!

Since none were available commercially I created a set of Prismacolor pencil swatch color libraries for Procreate on iPad. These are based on pencil rubbings of each color and converted to RGB. Unfortunately, there is no way to label the specific swatch with the pencil #. There were a number of colors that simply do not exist in the RGB color gamut and are therefore unable to be reproduce. In total there are 137 pencil colors (I believe. I might be off a couple). If you have a need for these you can download them from here Download Here I’ll keep the link active for as long as I can.

@Nyrryl-Cadiz this was just a sketch of a young caveman lol

You've already had some great suggestions, but for me the number 1 thing I'd do is flip the image! The action is from right to left which feels very unnatural and against the flow. The eye is used to reading an image from left to right, and so the action should flow in that direction as well P.S I really like the little plants cut out of the bottom edge, very effective and creative!

@Sas I am! Thank U! @aska Thanks!

Hi there! posting my first illustration on the forum, this crazy early bird. Painting done in procreate. Inspired by color theory tutorial by Will.

Hi there, hereby my first post, this illustration of this crazy early bird. Painting done in procreate. Inspired by color theory tutorial by Will. Tried to be more aware of the use of saturated/unsaturated colors to put emphasis on main part (head). Any feedback? thanks

@seanwelty Thanks. I had the biggest value contrast by far in the face to draw attention there. There's not much value difference within the hair - that's why I kept the background value a similar value to the hair so it didn't stand out as much. The black shadows in the reference were actually darker than I went and I wanted to draw the attention to the mouth/nose as they are what Ronnie is to me. I stayed more painterly away from those areas intentionally. Thank you for the input though, I really appreciate it. Cheers everyone! On to the next one now. Ace

Thank you Marsha. I didn't want to go too realistic with the colour and wanted a painterly feel to it. It was basically just a test of what the iPad Pro could do. Ace

Here's another quick pencil caricature - this time it's the King of Pop... I know it's rough but I only put enough information in a sketch that I'll need when I start painting. Ace
