The rear portion of your skulls seems to be slightly too short, consistently, as a consequence you're putting the very peak of the skull right above the brow and having it start to drop sharply almost immediately. Otherwise they look fine in that you have most of the details correct, you just need to observe the masses better. Here's something to think about: most of the time the overall skull seems to be about double the length of the lower jaw.

Well shit, I didn't expect it to be something as simple as that. Even the jaw looks better now since there's a proper place for it to go.

Does anyone have experience with lightboxes and have good ones to recommend?
I prefer analog over digital, but I would like to emulate layers and be able to ink without risking the original work and erasing pencil marks. So far I would just tape original sketch and a blank page to the window, but I am slowly getting tired of it.
I looked online, but many recommended products have been discontinued or are not available right now.

It's not as bad as other places but it suffers from the "looks good, just keep trying :)" critique a lot of places have sometimes, rather than more objective problems.

with how cheap the cheapass lightboxes get, it's certainly not worth buying anything or putting in effort to make one, but any combination of lights and translucent or clear plastic is probably better than a fucking window.

Plants' features like leaves and petals are fractal-like; you draw one of their leaves for example you've more or less drawn them all. Just keep their graphic shape in mind and consider how they can twist and fold in space.

is there a way to fill in colors without leaving white areas behind on thin lines?

It does that-I think-to keep small holes or gaps in the lines from filling the entire canvas.
I think it's more common to use the lasso selection tool to make areas of color on a different layer

You select the outside, grow the selection by one or two pixels, invert the selection and then fill.
>>16509
That's what you do, if the area you want to fill doesn't have a closed outline.

For something like your pic, you would probably need to use both techniques.
First, fill it by clicking the area, you want to fill.
Second, use the technique, where you invert the selection.

Is tracing a good drawing exercise for developing a tighter grip? I see people memeing all the time that you learn nothing by tracing but I think tracing is a more fun way to get a tighter grip than drawing circles and lines ad infinitum.

Tracing can be good to get a feeling for how a certain artists draws his lines.
But remember, you become better at what you practice.
If you practice a lot of tracing, then you get better at tracing. You might learn a few additional things, but I don't think your end goal is to become the master of tracing.

I wish I could help you but I frequently go "groundhog day" as well and end up a near-complete blank slate. One thing I will say is that I feel it's actually more important to understand the real anatomy than the construction-if I'd have studied that more in earnest from an earlier period I'd be in better shape by now.

You don't really need resources for that honestly, you just omit and include detail as needed. Emphasize the contours and "silhouette" vs individual forms. (unfortunately to do that you'll need to understand those individual forms pretty well)

/loomis/ please help,
I'm trying to find the name of a painter. This painter used a limited color palette of something like yellow, red, black, and white. Maybe brown. Because of the lack of any overtly cool tones, everything looked like what I can only describe as dusk in summer. I remember the paintings I saw being of Greek and Roman mythology, but I could be wrong.
Any help?

No. It's not Bouguereau, though his version of The Birth of Venus is GOAT. It's not Zorn either, despite "the Zorn palette" being pretty much exactly what I described.

For studio lights, I kind of have two choices… Should I got for 6000k color temperature lights with an 83 CRI, or 6500k color temperature light with 90+ CRI? OR should I go for a 90+ CRI 5000K light. There's so many opinions.
Some say not to go to too high of a color temp and stick to 5000K because most people won't display your art in very white light. Others say to stick to 6000-6500k because that is closest to natural sunlight and you can discern colors best.
What is /loomis/' opinion?

I only took a handful of courses at an atelier so this is way above my pay grade. I'd go for "truth" (in this case the 6000k) over supposed practicality in this instance. I'd rather know exactly what my colors are in ideal light and trust my customer to place the painting somewhere that suits their own ideal.

Only somewhat art-related, but…
I remember like roughly 2-3 years ago I ended up stumbling across this forum/site that was only accessible after registration, and basically inside it had a bunch of links to download various art resources, programs, 3d models, etc for free. I remember the site theme being rather dark/mostly black, but otherwise, I cannot remember what the name was or find it via google since most of my searches just give me dead ends.
Does anyone have any idea what site I'm talking about?

So when I'm doing cel-shading, is there any general rule as to when I should be decreasing the Value more than I'm increasing the Saturation, and increasing the Saturation more than I'm decreasing the Value? Both of them look right to me, so I'm not sure if there's a situation where I should do one or the other.
And another question, I'm trying to shade something that has multiple colors that aren't separated by lines, is there any way I shade them all with different colors on the same layer without having to release my pen, or am I going to have to bite the bullet and separate them on different layers (pic related - the white/red ball) or shade them all using a Multiply layer?
Both examples were done in CSP for context.

I really don't know if there's an actual "rule" necessarily; There probably is one but in lieu of being aware of it myself I guess I can just infer that it's kind of something you'll probably have to experiment with. "If it looks right, it is right" sort of deal.
