Digital Gors - Gors - 11-16-2013

so i'm starting to stuggle with digital art. I have literally no knowledge in this and I figure I could get better at it.

Have in mind that I am a piece of shit at digital art lingo other than pixelart terms so bear with me. I'll try my best and I'll try posting stuff here regularly

"why dont you use the doodle thread then you shit"

Because I am a selfish bastard and I need a thread especially for me. Jokes aside, I think that making a thread for this will make my learning experience easier (as the focus is only one) and I am eager to reach page 30 or stuff and say 'damn how I improved'

so I'll start this with a doodle of Light

C+C as always

For a noob at it, that's quite impressive looking. (Maybe cuz I myself am a noob too)

Though I feel the style of the shades is kind of inconsistent, mostly due to the shoulder pads.

Your shading is a bit nonlinear

Taking into account the "light source", his left arm should be casting some shade onto the left side of his torso.

you could swap the shading on the left hand:
rather than darkening the fingers where they tuck under the the thumb, darken the outside of his fingers along the knuckles.

You can also try darkening limbs further away from the viewer.
For his right leg (our perspective) you could completely shade from his right knee to the rest of his foot.

(also agree with what SchAlt said about shoulder pads)


I'm just cherry picking smaller things here, I hope I'm not being too vague, your digital art definitely carries over from your pixel art, and it can be a little weird switching between the two.

Lexou at skype Wrote:@gors i dont like the the skin dark shade, and the shading placement on the leg to our left doesn't make sens

I see what you mean, Guy, I'll try doing that

Have in mind that I am not going to work on the same thing for a long time since this is also practice to draw faster with the tablet.

tree doodle to practice the selout technique lexou taught me.

also to get used with the tool physics. took about 30 minutes

RE: Digital Gors - Guy - 11-18-2013

Not enough contrasting in the colors, it looks very plain at the moment, don't be afraid to use some dark dark colors, as well hue-shifting those darker shades a bit.

It's a p. basic image so there's not much to critique.

The trunk should be quite a bit darker since it's covered on all sides by the greenery.
