Beach time

[daok]

Hi,

I already posted in sketch few days ago and I haven't receive any feedback, I hope this time to get some.

I did about 3-4hours with a pencil and about 6 hours in photoshop 7.0 (with a mouse). I had no picture or image to get any reference. It's my first post with a final result here, I hope to get some feedback.

This is my progress in 5 step, if I do something wrong tell me. I am really new to digital painting.

Step 1/5

This is horrifying in too many ways to count. I think you should be using reference especially from life. Learn how to draw before you go all photoshoppy otherwise you just get photosloppy. Sorry to be so blunt but this genuinely frightens me.

thx for the comment, I will keep working...

I think no one start the be an artist on the first try ;) I know it's not as good as what I see on this forum but well, it's the beginning :p


Tell me what I should do to have something better, I can't improve myself with your comment sorry...

OK thx, I know that my finger are longer than usuall and I do not like the left (her right) arm because of her helbow. Any other stuff? I need to learn, I need you guys.

Similar to sylver's suggestion I'd go and find a reference. To me it looks like you've fallen into the trap of drawing what you think you see rather than what you actually see. The best way I've found to break that habit is to get your reference and place it upside down and then draw what you see... abandon the computer completely until you have developed your skills on paper.

Good luck.

Alright, thank you for the comment, I will continue to draw and post sometime what I have done to get more comment.
