Art Critique and Support
Parsely:
This thread is for artists seeking critical and honest feedback on their work.
How To Post
Artists: Describe what elements of your art you want feedback on. People are here to help you, so make things as easy as possible for them by making sure your piece is well lit and easy for people to read. If possible, provide the reference you are working from.
Critics: Consider your words when commenting, honesty does not have to delivered unlubricated, so grease up your feedback by being specific and polite. Use the oreo method: one compliment, one critique, finish up with another positive. Doing redlines is encouraged and basically makes you the coolest person ever!
Everyone: If you find art resources that you found helpful, feel free to share them.
No artist left behind!
If you see someone who is seeking criticism and when you're thinking about posting one of your own pieces, consider taking the time to offer them feedback. If you receive feedback, pay it forward, take the first opportunity to help someone out and redline their work.
Get your work seen!
You can use the Random Things thread as a critique-free posting zone.
Resources - Here is a list of free resources for artwork. Feel free to post links in this format and I will add them to this list. When sharing resources, please make sure the content is free and legal to distribute.

--- Quote from: Jopax on December 11, 2018, 02:42:00 pm ---Right, time to dump a metric art-ton of random stuff that I've used/have yet to use over the years (bit of a hoarder it seems)
First off, youtubes:
Scott Robertson, great designer with incredibly good technical skills, good for bashing your head in with perspective
Moderndayjames, similar to above, except, if life was pokemon this guy would be the charmander to the above charizard I guess, still, pretty useful
James Gurney, a damn fine traditional artist, also happens to be a good instructor and overall a coold dude, has a blog too which deals with theory from time to time
Anthony Jones, digital focus here, damn good teacher, does lots of random stuff, has some good gumroads and the like
Marco Bucci, digital/traditional mix, has some really nice short vids that can help push you in the right direction when it comes to stuff like compostions, colors, styles, etc..
Some other stuff:
Dropbox with a bunch of old master painters for reference use (yes these are all public domain and free to use, yes there's a whole lot of them)
Muddy colors, blog on art, has good articles, wether it be specific issues in art or a more general, meta approach to things like creativity or productivity
Some WW2 photos
Some encyclopedic illustrations of flora/fauna
NASA and all of their phtos, also good for refs of various things
That's about it for now, seeing as I'm kinda slacking by posting this, I'll try and put together some other free books and such eventually that I have lying about the place.

And I shall christen this thread with my final figure drawing of the day!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)A little rougher, but I thought it might be good practicing some crazier angles.
The head was really tough for me. I definitely did NOT nail it. Translating an odd tilted 3/4ths view threw me a bit.
TD1:
The shading on the nearest arm is weird, as are the proportions. No mouth is also an issue - a mild inconvenience for the drawer, somewhat major for the subject. :P
