Hi Hiroyuki! I like your concept here. I think this could go to the next level if you added a few more indicators about the environment. How much light do you want coming from the eyes? If the highlights in the eyes are true, then maybe turn up the lights on the character.

Hero on August 2, 2018 at 10:27 pmHaha, thank you for your crit, I got told a few times to make the background darker and have the lights pop more, lighting is always a challenge but I’ll make sure to check for it more often!

AlSirois on August 2, 2018 at 9:52 pmThis is a crazy image, and I mean that in a good way. Crazy and disturbing! Striking color, good composition, and a clever idea. Mimicry to draw in victims. I love it.

Hi Hiroyuki! The biggest problem here is the profile/flat view of the blade and the 3/4 view of the girl. It kinda works, and it gets harder to play perspective with the taper of the blade. Mostly the girl feels like she is looking at her perpetrator and the sword came from somewhere else. It might help just to hide the tip coming out the back, which shouldn’t in our viewpoint. a simple 3d model reference would probably help the most. Helpful?

Thanks for your crit again! I see what you mean, it would be a little bit too laborious to redo it but I’ll keep it in mind moving forward!

Another disturbing image. I like what you do with color, and you have a knack for transparency. Is this a digital image? The dark color key (and monotone technique) really makes it work.

Thanks for your compliments again! It IS a digital piece, I’d love to dabble more into traditional mediums like oils whenever I get the chance tho!

I want to be as good as Sargent.
I am open to critique
I WOULD LIKE HELP WITH
I'm looking to improve my painting, any crit is welcome.
A striking design and very well executed. My one critical observation would be to make the arrows in back lighter in tone so that they are more noticeable. I didn’t even see them until just now, and I’ve looked at this piece several times today before critiquing.
Thanks for your crit! I didn’t want to make them pop out too much to avoid them from competing with the face for attention, but I definitely toned them down too much, thanks for pointing it out!
Hi Hiroyuki,
A very striking profile piece. 🙂
I think you should bring a little more texture, highlights and contrast into your pieces, try using different brushes. Also I would try to stay away from absolute black, try to mix contrasting colors for shadows or at least mix a little gray into it.
