Exactly why Pema avoids trees...
So I'd like to be able to add more to my art, especially adding in finer details and maybe doing better for backgrounds. This took about 10 minutes, but I know I could do more with it.
Do you mind critiquing this? What could I do to improve my artworks?
I think the first thing I plan to do is work with a bigger canvas.
Edit Here is version #2, taking Terabetha's suggestions into consideration:
I realized her spots are not there in this version, because I had added them in on the wrong version (the PNG version, not the SAI version that I can edit), so please just ignore that they are missing.
Edit #2 Version #3, taking Dannii's suggestion into consideration. I really like how goofy she looks, especially her facial expession.
Thanks for any suggestions and help.
I'm no artist, at all,
The one thing I noticed with this was that in order for Pema to be in that pose, the strings would have to be around her body or wrapped around her upper legs. I...think.
♥ I love the colouring of that treebranch, by the way.
EDIT: oh wait, if the strings are actually attatched to her and she's fallen down and sort of...wrapped around the branch, she'd pretty much have to be upside-down?
I don't know man ;;
Haha aww poor Pema, it's a
As for critique, here's a few notes on things I think might help;
-You mention you want to do backgrounds, and that's a good goal. Think about where the picture is taking place. In this case, it's a forest. In a background you can include some other trees, grass, different colors of the ground itself (dirt, grass, various greens and browns).
-When I was learning to draw backgrounds I would sit my deer down somewhere in The Forest and try and draw the landscape. You can do the same thing, or draw from a screenshot.
-Expect to spend more than 10 minutes on pictures with a background, otherwise you won't be impressed with the results.
I see you've been exploring the different brushes, this worked really well on the tree branch texture. Try using different brushes to create other textures like grass, or fur.
Keep at it; you're already improving!
Dannii - Ahh I see what you
Terabetha - Sure, I'll look into the other brushes and see what works. Maybe I can use a reference of an actual forest for help with the background. I'll give that a shot and see how it turns out, thank you!
Version #2 is up. I'm still
Version #3 is up, Pema is completely redrawn, and I changed the angle of the limb to fit the trees in the background. I'm pretty happy with how it came out now. Thank you both for the suggestions, I'll make sure to put more time into my art now.
If I may be honest I find the
I do like those simple
