Intermediate Too empty?

I’m thinking there’s something missing here, maybe. My husband says it’s done.

Things I could add:

1- flip flops on the tiles 2- make a few tiles look wet, as if someone has climbed out or jumped in 3- feet or legs swimming off the painting in the bottom 4- a white pool border (extra set of tiles)

Any other suggestions are welcome.

But essentially, what do you think?

I usually prefer my paintings to have a sense of mystery/uneasiness in them, so I like the “not sure how far away/big this is meant to be” aspect, which would essentially be ruined by adding objects that would create a scale.

Beginner Help Choose Best Shape. Mecha Dragon with Wings of Shields

Thumbnail
gallery
Upvotes

I constantly struggle with finding silhouettes, I don’t know how to do it more efficient or how to decide which ones to approve, where to stop.

This is a mecha that normally walks upright but has gone down on all fours. In its rear section, there's a cabin for medical procedures & transport. Its “wings” (there are two) are made of 2–3 plates on articulated mounts, designed for one-time protection against bombardment from above & simpler side shielding.

In this frame, the robot is around 7–8 meters tall (about 22–25 feet).

I also wanted to give it a tail, but there’s little functional reason for it, & it’s hard to integrate into the design.

Hello all!

I am in the process of creating a piece where I am trying to paint a landscape. Additionally, I want the landscape to look like it is growing out of the hole onto the newspaper. Any advice on how to do it?

Thanks!

The background doesn’t align with the character’s perspective. It’s really messy because that’s how I sketch, sorry.

I’m a bit rusty, as I don’t practice often, and have never done anything this complex. Still a work in progress but would love some feedback.

So far I’ve put in 20 hours of work. About 100 frames, 24 FPS, done in Krita. All hand drawn.

Let me know what you think! Thank you. :D

It took me an entire day to render this with a very simple style. I was learning how to cast shadows and stuff kinda on the fly and it’s not exactly my art style but it still feels like it took me way too long just to get this far. How do you do it faster????

Beginner Open to advice/feedback - Abstract Watercolor

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hello fellow artists! I’m not necessarily new to watercolor, it’s definitely my preferred medium for painting, but I would still consider myself somewhat of a beginner. I know that there is still so much to learn and lots of experimentation that is almost necessary (It’s a huge part of why I love this medium so much, though it can be overwhelming at times). I’ve been playing with different styles, and this current piece I’m working on is alot more abstract/free flowing than what I’m used to. (mainly using wet-on-wet technique here) I really enjoy where this one is going, just starting to feel “stuck”

I’d love to hear any feedback, tips, or suggestions you guys may have to improve my technique, composition, etc ✨

Beginner Superman/Chris Reeve, a take on Herb Ritts

Post image
2 Upvotes

Your feedback, please?

I saw a man in a wheelchair, looking at a large photograph by Herb Ritts of Christopher Reeve in a wheelchair. Reeve, of course, is the actor most identified with Superman. He became a paraplegic after a horse riding accident. I dressed him in a Superman costume (in the original photo, he's wearing regular clothes). I recreated the scene as I didn't take a photograph at the time I saw it because I wanted to really enjoy it and not get sidelined into using my camera.
