RE: Music WIP - Pied Piper
Hello!
This opinion comes from an amateur so please take this with a grain of salt. It's just my thought as I saw this piece and knowing this story.
if my grammar is atrocius sorry for that too
I like the background of these buildings. Refined they will give the illustration a playful fairyrale atmosphere that suits the story.
One thing I think you can consider is make a worm's eye view composition for the piper and the rats. I like how they're looking at him all mesmerized and captivated and I think the piper having a more dominating stance over them would enhance that. Nothing too extreme of course.
Or if you wanna have them on the foreground like I'm guessing is what you're trying to do make it more prominent. Maybe have them on the pavement and then we see their eyes that have just found the piper (who's in the middleground) that plays and follow him eagerly. Now there's no point of reference for their size and it can be confusing.I hope this helped! Or I just wrote one big pile of nonsense, I don't know :p

RE: Anyone planning to do Inktober this year?
I'm planning to. The list seems really interesting. September is a really hectic month though, I can't prepare like I would have wanted. But yeah, definitely attempting it.

RE: Episode 11: Networking
Yaaaaay! Awesome. I know what I'll be listening to tomorrow while drawing.
I'm sure it will be one of my favorite episodes. I am not a people person, I'm hella awkard and insecure around others and this is magnified on the internet. And I know other artists are too. Since they learned how to tackle it, I can too.

Comic pages thumbnails
Hello, hello people.
I'm in the process of making a small, 4 paged comic for a competition here in my country. I was making storyboards-ish yesterday and made miniatures of the pages. I see that most of my panels have the same size. Is that a problem? Does it look monotonous?
Also is that the correct way of doing things? The final pages will be A3 sized, so I thought I'd first make some samples in my sketchbook. If you have a suggestion for the way I do things, I'd love to hear it. -
RE: Sense of depth problem in this painting
Here's what I did. These look so much better in person, than in my crappy phone camera -_-Whatevs.
Images 1 and 2 are done with what you all said in mind. Image 3 is the image I made with the values grouped a little better. Image 4 is a new concept where the tree that is the focal point is actually in the background. Now I don't know if you agree but image 3 works right? Even though the darker values are further back? -
Is this a cool image?
I just finished this page in my sketchbook and I'm not sure if it sits well with me. And I can't distinguish if it's really because there's something to be done for it to look cooler or it's just me getting caught up in my insecurities.
What do you think?

You know you won't bother with this so get along
What the hell must I do to not forget the knowledge of things I learn? I'm trying to learn how to draw hands and if I don't draw a couple of them each day, a week later they look like crap. Like total crap. The only way to be good at drawing something is to draw it everyday? So I should draw a building, a person, a hand, an animal everyday? And what about my damn projects? And sometime down the line I'll need to get a job. Day only has 24 fucking hours.

RE: Is this a cool image?
@Chip-Valecek YEEEEES, I know. This is a mistake I did in the thumbnail stage too. I tried to remedy it, but ultimately kinda failed. I'll keep it in mind for the next one though.
Thank you! -
RE: Is this a cool image?
@Oriana-Fernandez Thank you!
I wasn't really working towards a strong focal point. I was more interested in creating a strong foreground, midground and background sense and a feeling of depth.
Thanks for your kind words, appreciate it! -

RE: Sense of depth problem in this painting
Excuse the delay, I didn't have internet for a few days.
@theprairiefox so you mean that in pics 1 and 2 the central tree and the tree on the left are fighting for the attention of the viewer?
Thanks for the insight. It's really fascinating that there aren't really any rules when it comes to that stuff. You just experiment, think about the feel and the atmosphere you want out of the image and see how it goes. Nevertheless I got some useful pointers out of all you guys. Thank you very much! -

RE: Sense of depth problem in this painting
@Sliproot Woooah dude, thanks!! This looks awesome. It's really amazing how much different a painting can get with some tweaking in its value scale. I've no idea how to work digitally though :p. I'll create some traditional value studies of my painting and post them. Your example really helped.

RE: Sense of depth problem in this painting
I thought about doing some small thumbnails, just the basic shapes and do some value studies. Recreate my drawing with whatever value problems there are and then create a couple of others and see what happens.

RE: Sense of depth problem in this painting
@Kevin-Longueil wow, so much information in your comment. Thank you.
That's not digital. It's traditional, colored pencils. There's not much else I can do to it. Paper's already all wrinkled, which I hate.
I didn't know about all these mistakes until you pointed them out to me. It makes sense that things that are in the background cannot be darker than things in the foreground. But it's done now.
