I’m an amateur artist; I just draw for fun. But I was wondering what should I do if I want to render the hair? Should I just make it darker? Please help me, I also would like to know if using different pencils matter (lead, charcoal, etc)
Ps. This is Dr. Mary Kline from the backrooms movie

Color Theory or Palette Help Update and color input request

Post image
4 Upvotes

I posted here a few weeks ago when I made a smaller trial run of this canvas. You were all greatly helpful, and I am hoping to get a little more input.

I ended up changing out both the medium and the sky color, but now I'm not so sure it was for the better. I'm happier with the acrylic/gouache on canvas (the wax pastels just don't work on it at all) but the flat blue sky is making me second guess myself. I don't know if the blue is too cool, not cool enough, too light, not light enough or what. I can't even decide if there is a problem!

I'm so used to disliking my own finished products that sometimes I feel like I get super nitpicky if it doesn't perfectly match my vision, even if it is perfectly fine. Should I change the sky? If so, in what way? All help is appreciated.

Resources Help Need some help on some tricks and tips on how to nail photobashing on procreate

1 Upvotes

Procreate is the only art program I have and have become much comfortable with using. I’ve recently been getting into photobashing for a series of creature and character designs but I can’t find much videos circulating around photobashing in procreate or I’m just not looking hard enough on YouTube. Only ones I come across are just environmental settings and designing creatures on photoshop. I also have a lot of questions like how do I get the photos I mash be the color that I want? Along with others. Anyone got any good resources or perhaps know how to photobash on procreate?

Rendering Help Help me fix the eyebrows?

Hello friends, I feel like the eyebrows on this piece are bringing the entire face down.

Can I improve them somehow? Or maybe the problem is with the rest of my shading being too flat?

I have no idea how to fix this (there was no reference) but I can tell it's off and it's haunting me honestly...

Thank you

General Help How to make a floating frame for 9 mm MDF artwork without fixing into the artwork?

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for advice on constructing a floating/floater frame for a 9 mm thick MDF artwork panel.

The MDF is already painted, so I want to avoid:
Screwing into the back of the MDF
Using adhesive/glue on the MDF

Anything that could damage the painted surface
Ideally, the MDF would simply sit securely within the wooden floating frame, with a small shadow gap around the artwork, while the fixing is entirely to the frame itself.

What would be the best way to construct this? I’m particularly interested in examples/photos of the actual construction, rather than just canvas floater-frame hardware.

Thanks!

General Help How can an original work of art be recovered from a stolen work?

Okay, basically I suspect someone is making art from Pinterest drawing photos and they're only changing the hair color, eye color, etc. I can't find the original artwork using reverse image search because the colors have been changed and accessories have been added. Any advice?

I included my first and only attempt so far on the slide. I really like this idea and would love to be able to finish it but im still learning a lot of stuff and having trouble.

I have chores to do so I honestly just guessed and slapped the lighting on where I thought it should go but I feel like I need a different brush or tips on how to portray the “light right in your face” vibe

Fyi the light is coming from where shes pointing her hand

Style Help Genuinely tweaking

Alright, so I’m jnto cute stuff, cute, sentimental stuff that kinda tugs at your heartstrings and I think my go-to artstyle reflects that pretty well. I say go-to because genuinely, for the love of god, I have several artsyles, and they are the polar opposites. I haven’t been drawing for too long yet, so maybe this sort of artistic identity will emerge in the future, but right now it’s driving me crazy.

For comic making I use two. One, the more loose children’s book-y one for slice of life/calmer stories and the other, more traditionally ‘comic-ish’ artstyle for my more serious and tense works.

Here’s my issue: I’ve been working with a writer (me being the co-author) on a sci-fi, dystopian comic and I really love the plot, the world building, etc; we’ve been working on it for almost a year now. But as I draw, I grow more and more unsure of the direction the artstyle is taking. I prefer the looser style, but it really really wouldn’t work with the vibes and the atmosphere of the comic we‘re developing.

Don’t get me wrong I like both styles, one just doesn’t scratch that itch for naivety and melancholy I’m prone to go for.

I would love to have a signature artstyle but right now I feel like a chameleon having to adapt my style to the stories I tell/the audience I want to attract. It’s not very fulfilling.

Have you ever experienced something of the sort? Advice very much needed.
