Hey, working on a pixel of a metal rocker jamming out. Just did this basic part so far and it's my first time doing that body thing so tell what you think.

looks like you got the framework down, can't wait to see the finished product,

Not enough to tell yet what to improve, but you got the pose going well so far.

 

 

 

If this is for a sig, it may be too big, but you can still resize this at this early stage.

Nope don't worry

The left arm (the fretting arm) is incorrect.

 

 

 

The lower arm needs to be moved up slightly (as the joint allows).

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know isn't really anatomically correct, but look at his pose.

Updated, can you guys give me help for what's there so far before I move on. Don't look at pants :s

lookin pretty good, but, the left arm, the elbow needs to be brought out.

 

 

 

hair needs alot of shading work (prob not done though) like, wheres your light source

 

 

 

and you need to smoothen the lines

Uh im not sure if the left arm does need to be moved because keep in mind, he is doing a solo or something so his hand is going to be at much higher frets. in such he sucks it in.

well, if your doing it that way then, by your original drawings, his hand is going to be at the wrong angle

i like the way the hair looks, ima try and help you. your shading on it is wrong atm.

 

dont mind the rough drawings, it was juts a basic idea. ill help you with PM tomorrow

 

 

 

 

EDIT: ill see if my brother will let me use his guitar for a while and ill try and do this pose, to give you perspective. (lighting, positioning, etc)

jeans are comming along nice, but near(ish) the middle of the pants needs to be lighter. lookin good though

 

 

 

as for the hair, i dont see a change :P

Agreed with yaff.

 

 

 

Coming along nicely so far, looking forward to seeing the finished result. :)

Looking great so far...keep it up.

 

 

 

 

 

The most recent one looks like his hand is in his pants :anxious:

^ :lol:

 

 

 

It's nice, really nice, just don't forget to texturize that skin texture. :wink:

Texturizing texture is always good :P

Very nice. Texture on pants is really realistic.. Theres something wrong with the skincolour tho imo..

I'm assuming he's going to do more shading, and add texture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Correctamundo?

correct, once I get the guitar in I can do hands then I will finish the skin, ill do it all at once.

Yeah, so just make sure to add some of that good ole' texturization to those skin tones. :wink:

Texturing the skin really look right, unless its there to (sucessfully) blend two colours or (purposely) creating a rough texture. The colour is too orange, and the texture just doesn't work, I don't know what you guys are thinking but how does that look natural to you?

 

 

 

The guitar should already be in (even as rough placement), its vital because the guitars whereabouts totally alters how the character holds it, where his arms are and possible shadows cast. It needs to look natural otherwise it will just look like it was added at the last second..

 

 

 

In my opinion I think you should of waited until you were happy with everything before doing any texturing, dithering etc.. Because you seem to have a lot of unecissery colours with what I'd say not enough depth, you haven't defined the character's shape you've just shaded as if you know exactly what you're doing.

 

 

 

Heres a small edit of one arm for example, I've just tweaked your palette, shaped the arm a bit and had a go at developing it in like 2 minutes. Not the best but what I was trying to illustrate is the use of contrast with this to create some shape to the arm.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just something to think about, parts are seemingly flat at the moment.

 

 

 

Great seeing your progress, keep it up you should learn a lot from this.

:uhh: We'll thanks I guess i'll put the guitar in and then do the arms. I suck at skin, tis my first real pixel other than meh avatar.

I looks very good, can't wait to see it finished :)

 

 

 

Good luck!
