Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw IV: NO EXCUSES
That was my immediate thought, basically using Valerian's colour scheme (god I'm suddenly reminded of how bad SC2's story was) but it's way trickier than it looks given that he's standing against a solid black background. It needs a lot of experimenting. The golden hair came out okay though.

Day 1198: Mothership15
I'm having a hard time figuring out what else needs to be done, or what else I can do that'd be an improvement. Unless someone springs in with some insight this might be the end of this little project.

Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw IV: NO EXCUSES
Two small things I see:
That railing in front of the standing person needs some depth I think. You did fix up the bottom a bit with this last iteration, but I find that while intellectually I can figure out that the bar is supposed to curve out in front of them because otherwise the base where it connects would make no sense, it doesn't look like it does at the moment. Maybe add some curve to it appropriate to the viewing angle, or at least some colour differentiation there to give it a rounder feel.
I think some of the sky could do to be darker, because space is dark.
As always, feel free to ignore at your leisure.
EDIT: Oh and if the planet has an atmosphere (which given it's barren look, it may not), at that close distance it would probably be visible I believe.Last edited by Madcrafter; 2014-08-21 at 10:03 AM.

Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw IV: NO EXCUSES
You couldn't have picked a piece of music with a picture that was slightly more SFW?
Edit: Oh well, too late anyway, I guess the Senate computers will just have an Internet history that includes romantic ponies. I'm sure I'll never have to explain this to anyone.
Anyway, I think that turned out really well. I like the finished picture. My suggestion for the next one is to really spend some time on the early parts of the picture cleaning up the linework and doing all that stupid geometric perspective stuff. I think the colors and lighting on this one turned out well, but the outline and shape of the ship came out a bit cartoony and less realistic than other pictures I've seen of the Protoss Mothership.

Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw IV: NO EXCUSES
There's probably worse on there if you go looking for it. I wouldn't.
I think the cartoony look is just Thanqol's style, though I have no objections to you trying something more realistic. My main gripe is with the lighting, specifically shadows. I didn't really notice earlier before you went all crazy on the colour at the end, but they look like they've been burned on rather than being the natural colour of the ship.Devoted artificer of the church of Scorching Ray.

Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw IV: NO EXCUSES
Yeah, that one stands out to me as well. The perfect encapsulation of the argument.

Day 1205: Sepia Gentleman
Screwed up the layers so decided to just splash around with browns, see what I learned.
Turned out remarkably nice, sketchy as it is.

Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw IV: NO EXCUSES
More importantly, some further feedback on kettle-duck; My friend who likes pictures of ducks said that he liked it's "beady little eyes".

Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw IV: NO EXCUSES
Neither relevant nor pertinent to the above, but I just happen to finally have tracked down the name of an artist I've been trying to recall or figure out for a very, very long time and it's paid off in the form of a vaguely hypnotic, classical music accompanied video linked at the bottom of this article. Thought you might get a kick out of sharing my cultural bounty there, at least potentially.
Totally haven't bothered reading the article, but the 11 minute video was totally worth it.

Day 1206: Sahar
This may look really simple but I spent 45 minutes on it. Flags are really really hard.
Also I think I somehow forgot to hold my pen or something argh.

Day 1207: madness
P&P sketches while watching the American version of Being Human. Already watched the British one years before. It's a good adaptation!
Bishop is a great villain in both serieses, he just looks so good in a uniform.
