Need help

[ripe ether]

It feels off by so much yet i don't know what's wrong

I tried do color theory and ended up drawing red hulk😭🙏

[carmine wolf]

Find a reference image to draw from

[ripe ether]

That's the problem

It is from a reference

[carmine wolf]

A lot of the stuff is badly placed anatomy wise, that's what's throwing you off

[carmine wolf]

Then study anatomy and perspective, I recommend Proko

Great idea for the colors tho

[ripe ether]

Could you elaborate please

[carmine wolf]

I do like that a lot

[ripe ether]

Idk why it looks like he's just painted red

I wanted him to glow like he's under a red light

[carmine wolf]

Like it requires a looot of fixes, primarily neck, leg positions, hand size

[carmine wolf]

You need to add something to the background, make a harsh light spotlight

But like this is quite advanced stuff

[ripe ether]

Thank you

[ripe ether]

Could you describe it?

Or give an example

[carmine wolf]

You need to put a circle on the floor, oval shaped, and you need to use harsh red light, almost neon rendering

You need to do a dark shadow under the character

And more shadows and highlights on the body

[ripe ether]

OHHHHHH

I got it now

Thank you sm

[carmine wolf]

Of course

[ripe ether]

I can see it

[carmine wolf]

Good luck!

[ripe ether]

Thank you

[ripe ether]

@carmine wolf

I fkd it up

[carmine wolf]

The shadow needs to extend out of the skreen, the gray needs to be black, there should be nothing white on the character

[ripe ether]

Noting...

[carmine wolf]

Highlights should be on the floor, shoulders, a little bit on the upper and lover forearm, on the characters right leg but not left

[ripe ether]

Highlights should be on what?

[carmine wolf]

Use dark red for body color, desaturated dark red for the shadow, and almost completely dark red (almost black) for the background

[ripe ether]

That's pretty detailed man thank you

[carmine wolf]

Entire spotlight area should be bright pale pink, to reflect a really bright red

Remember, hue =/= brightness

[ripe ether]

That's what I've been doing 💔

I was just moving the circle up and down on the colors wheel

[carmine wolf]

Stick only on one red hue

But use different saturation and brightness

[ripe ether]

Thank you ✨

Sorry if I'm troubling you

[carmine wolf]

Stay on the same red

But adjust the light and saturation instead

Never use pure white or pure black

[ripe ether]

Noted

[carmine wolf]

Shadows are desaturated and dark red

Not vibrant dark red

Highlights are desaturated light red

Not bright red or white

[ripe ether]

Fair fair

[carmine wolf]

Good luck

[ripe ether]

Thank you again

[ripe ether]

@carmine wolf it MIGHT have improved

I can sense where it's bad

The shading in the middle part is not that good and the harsh shadow needs to be bigger

[carmine wolf]

The pants definitely need to be darker

You should do a gradient on the background going to almost black a t the top

Remember to use hard highlights for the floor and the back

[ripe ether]

Sorry I missed this

I don't have notifications on discord unless you @ me

[ripe ether]

Done
