Re: Daily paintings of WTrawi
WTrawi--It's hard to pick up tone over the internet, but it sounds like you don't like the idea of using references It's not just a matter of exactly copying from a picture, it's a tool to help develop your own observational skills, which will then translate into being able to draw things more accurately without then having to keep looking at references
...please remember that "IT'S" ALWAYS MEANS "IT IS" and "ITS" IS WHAT YOU USE TO INDICATE POSSESSION BY "IT".--scott
this goes for they're/their/there as well

After a little bit of work it's already much better. Still working on it.

Re: Daily paintings of WTrawi
And that was NOT the first time I used a reference... I used three for this one ... So OK, I'll try to use as many as possible in the future

Re: Daily paintings of WTrawi
I think the point was to use only 1 reference that looks exactly what you're painting - combining from multiple references in order to create something new is a lot more difficult when you're trying to learn how light and shadow works. You have talent and will become even better if you do some boring exercises

Re: Daily paintings of WTrawi
I used one for the shape, another for the first shading (which is discarded now) and a third one for the final shading... So only one at the same time.

Re: Daily paintings of WTrawi
I made a pretty finalized version (without shading the thing on the top) of the axe, here it is:

Re: Daily paintings of WTrawi
I think the next drawing should be:
A) a full landscape
B) a wose
How about it?

Re: Daily paintings of WTrawi
i guess you should start with a wose, since when drawing a full landscape, you'll clearly need some tree drawing skills anywayWTrawi wrote:I think the next drawing should be:

Re: Daily paintings of WTrawi
The axe blade looks much better now. You really should shade the top piece though. It's a cone on top of a cylinder (or maybe a sphere?), and those are very simple shapes that are not too hard to shade. You should be able to shade it in a few minutes. If you aren't sure how, you should learn before you tackle more complicated shapes like trees.

Re: Daily paintings of WTrawi
I did the shading of the top and although it's not perfect, I'm happy with it.

Re: Daily paintings of WTrawi
That's pretty good, actually, and works together nicely with the right-hand part of the axe's blade.

Re: Daily paintings of WTrawi
Workin' on a landscape with a large tree in the foreground... maybe the tree'll turn into a wose

Re: Daily paintings of WTrawi
Okay, let's awaken this good old thread
Sometimes when I feel too lazy to paint something new (plus my digital drawboard doesn't work) I look for cool pictures and turn them painting-style! And this is what happened in the last 10 minutes (click on the secound picture to see the modifications):
