Hello everyone, I am extremely nervous about this since It is my first time creating a thread here, and im not that great of an artist, but im working on that lol. and hopefully you guys give me the little push i need. I am a 3d character artist who really really really wants to learn how to draw and paint digitally, i considered myself a pretty decent tradional clay sculptor and maybe ill be posting some of that i as i go here. If i make any mistakes with posting and things like that i would like to apologize in advance lol, and oh yeah my english is not that great but what the heck. ok so . To start i read that is better to do the image attachment thing how do i do that, i if you guys and gals dont mind me asking.

Hey dagoned, a good start here. All I can suggest is to keep up at it.

Just remember to not be afraid when laying down colour; be violent, chuck it down! No fear, no hesitation! ;) You don't want that semi-transparent, pecky strokes look. Digital art can be cleaned up or rubbed out so damn easily, so it's okay.

The dude with the spear and skulls is a good one; keep going in that direction, but go easy on the textures, or mix it up so it doesn't look like you've just blanketed it.

Keep going man, you have some serious potential! :)

Phiq - Thanks for your words man Im freaking pumped now lol. I am quite new to color and eventhough I have read about color theory until you actually start playing with it, you dont see how awesome it is. I'm still trying to find a workflow that works for me and a style you know, thats why you see how different every drawing is from each other lol.. but shit dude I cant thank you enough..

I work at a whole foods in florida and they are having an art contest for all the team member the subject is the sea turtles lol. It is due on monday i dont know if im going to make it but i'll give it a try.. im starting a little later today and i'll be posting as i go. im a bit nervous but fuck it lol..

Here are some other fast paintings i have done, none are done or will be but boy did i learn from this suckers lol.

[dagoned]

Ok so here im starting with the turtle painting lol this is a really basic sketch lol.. hopefully it'll get better lol it sucks i got some of other stuff i have to care of but ill try me best... c%c are all welcome

[dagoned]

i've done more work on that little sketch its noooo where near done lol.. even tho i do want it to be be able to see the brush strokes i dont think i want to use the round smooth brush. Well comments and Critiques are all welcome.

[dagoned]

Another update nothing fancy but its getting there i have a TON of stuff to fix and tweak and adjust and change lol..

[phiq]

Take this turtle to the next level dagoned by employing some turtle references. Just hit Google image search and have them next to you while you paint it up. It will make all the difference! Good luck :)

[dagoned]

phiq - thanks man.. i didnt work on the work on the turtles as much as i would've liked to, it wasnt only the short period of time i had but also that maybe im not ready yet. oh well next it will be better.

Here are some other little things i did today. just practicing and learning. c&C are all welcome.

[dagoned]

just a quick silly painting i started doing.. i started with color no black and white this time just wanted to give this tech a try and it was sooo much fun lol..

[Goog]

good start man, keep up with those studies! Love that last piece.

[artimis1993]

you're very good with poses and coloring.. i'm jealous =)
I suggest adding more detail though.. makes your pictures seem a bit lacking, they look blurry. Especially around the edges. But if thats what you're going for / your style, i say excellent job

[dagoned]

Goog - Thanks i'll def keep going.. Hopefully i'll get better in the years to come...


artimis1993 - Jealous?? lol dont see why but i thank you anyways. ill keep in mind those blury edges u mentioned I honestly had not notice lolol.. as of for a style.. well lol.. dont have one yet im trying to find it but it hasnt hit me yet.. and i dont have a workflow set yet.. which mean with every painting its a new beginning. lol


Thanks for all your words. hopefully i'll post something tonight

[dagoned]
