Drawing Thread

Yeah, originally it was the plan to make it small and blank, but the way i did my detail i had to make it big, otherwise it would look weird. Heres what it looks like in the bg, if it helps:

Also any tips to make it look more like the paddles were floating away from the boat would be great

 

Any tips on how to do simple rock detail? Preferably in grey?

 

moons r hard

 

If I were to go for a realistic look, I would darken the hell of the bottom, and lighten the top to where there are no lines defining the shape. Although, I would still induvidualize each crater by some shading.
But if you were going for a more solid cartoony approach, I would not worry about making it a perfect circle. And I would also very slight add half circles (more or less) to show some craters.

nasrani hella

 

Aye son, that's why I just shape and not shade.

P.s. I can't see image yet coz college blocks it

 

I don't see why you would shade a moon like that? What you can see of a moon is all the same brightness right, and even if it wasn't a full moon the shadowed parts should blend in with the sky. I mean correct me if I'm being stupid.

You don't have to draw it in realistic proportions, if you wanted to you could make it huge, and I think that would look awesome. I would make you craters much bigger and varying in size, you should should probably keep the craters just an outline though to go with your light style.

 

I got this hella cool wip to show you.

 

Thanks, i think i will

 

Proves why I don't shade it lol

 

Joelbmx I would personally shade the bottom and lighten the top because that basically what my whole track structure will look like. If I were to detail the moon the same way, it would flow together with the rest of my track without error. That's just a technique I would use to compliment the track as a whole.

 

just fartin around

 

Nice tree breh. The black is really too thick, but it contrasts nicely with the grey.
I really could use some CC on these rocks. It's strong black detail, which I'm not really familiar with. I don't know what to think

 

Looks sick, except for the bottom left and the bottom middle of the rock, it seems too round and plain compared to the rest of the rock

 

nasrani It seems like you have a nice judgement on where the shading should go. Otherwise, there's not much to critique except that I've seen you shape out rocks better than that before. Also, it looks a little undefined over by the falling rocks, but if you added grey, I feel like it would all flow together smoothly. Good work though!

 

Any tips on how to do simple rock detail? I suck at detailing rocks, i cant get it right

 

My attempt at Rock detail, thoughts?

 

So that rock is in the sea or something?

 

Yup, sure is

 

Well I think you need way more definition in the rock. Right now it's just some horizontal lines going across it. Maybe try imitating some rocks from good track creators

 

What do u mean by more definition? Do u mean more horizontal lines or what?
