A painting in celebration of the return of Punaji : D

Hey guys- This is my first piece in my drawing 2 class. We started with only the contour of the bouquet so I didn't know what the real assignment was- couldn't visualize ahead. Most of it is admittedly done from imagination( sick the whole weekend and couldn't go to the extra sessions) I'd would be very grateful for any critique concerned with and major values in the image and their effect on the composition. Anything that can be changed remotely easily will be- butttt I basically only have till 1 pm tommorow to work on this so HURRY UP AND CRIT : DDDD
..
Please?
detail:
Eep I should have expanded a little more. The assignment was dealing with mark making- thinking of abstract ways to make marks and such, The stems to the right are just continued from the bouquet on the left- to fit it in and for a compositional element. There are also some figure ground distortion- ish things going on( such as the stems) The black spot( darker than it actually is due to poor photo) is mainly there to balance out the values to the right- and it was the darkest area in the still life set up.
Thankyou for viewing :]

I've never really seen flowers drawn like this before
you've been doing drugs haven't you!?honestly I think the composition looks fine
there's a lot going on
but your mark making is sick
specially the etching on the leaf veins
maybe more value range?
I know it's sunny -
Zach: Haha I'm actually lame and drug free. Thank you for your comments. my teacher loved the drawing.
A portrait of a friend done here at college. Not without it's flaws but practice is practice:

It's been three months since I've posted here.. Shame. I like the light but her face looks pouty and keep up the optimism but always be positive about such a pretty model hah
-
seems to me that you aren't spending enough time planning the painting - getting the structures right before you detail out. This is a common thing for digital artists to fall into (myself included) because of the forgiving nature of the canvas, but oils really do need a ton more care in the early stages.
Both this and your "self portrait in white" paintings suffer from lack of good facial structure.
-
ratios! five eyes across(this is the quickest shit i could find http://goldennumber.net/face.htm)the color and value on the face are good. i like the flowers a lot; more value looser hand and finer lines :D
-
i wait 3 days and get no replies and you get three in 8 hours! blast you! :D
i really like the portrait. very nice volumes and good tones. will and dan are right in what they say, but still, great stuff dude. keep at it
-
Zach: yep it is very pouty, partially because she actually has very pouty lips, partially because I didn't paint them well.
Dan: If any painting could be considered unplanned, it would be this one, as would be a slew of my paintings. " Hey sarah would you like to be painted?" "sure" " Ok lemme go get a milkshake first". haha.
By structure, do you mean the actual 3d structure of the face? I believe both of these paintings show an ok understanding of the planes in question- while the details in the painting of sarah are a bit off, the big value shapes are very close to what I was seeing, same goes for the self portrait in white. If by structure of the face you mean the arrangement of the features of the face, then I may agree with you to a degree. I've got a long way to go for sure.
Will: Thing with ratios is they basically go out the window when you do anything other than someone head on- unless you project it 3 dimensionally. The eyes themselves are wonky, but if you took into account the angle and their actual length( not including close shadows and make up) the 5 eye ratio would probably still stand. Thank you for commenting, however. I don't intend to act like I'm always aware of all the errors I make, but I do want to keep things like that in mind.
Adam: Thanks for the encouragement, man :]Thanks for feedback guys, honestly. i didn't expect to get this level of critique here ( not a bash of punaji, I love this place)

Here is a commission I worked on over winter break. It's pretty large- 30x40. Landscapes, among many other things are a weak point of mine- but I believe this turned out relatively successful for what it is.
Also, this painting and two others of mine are entered into the chroma art competition. I would appreciate if you took the time to rate them- whatever you think of them!

I could really learn something from looking at how you did your water!
I feel the composition is kind of weak, though. Judging by the rule of thirds, your focal point is too centered for my taste, and it leaves my eye wandering all around the painting. The rocks also seem a tad too light compared to whatever shadows are being cast on the trees; from how they're lit I'd assume they were being lit from the opposite side, yet the rocks seem like they're being lit from a whole different angle!
Overall, it's very nice and I enjoy the colors. The clouds are done very well, too.
5-starred your other paintings, by the way. :) Keep at it, man!
-
adam: thanks for the critique! I was working from some specific references and angles, and I sacrificed having the trees smack dab in the center for the ability to have the land hitting a vertical 1/3rds mark, and having the horizon nearly on the horizontal one. Also the tree's came out a lot darker than they are in the painting- although they are still quite dark. Landscapes are something I need to work on most definitely.
-
Well done. Agree with adam. I think it may have been improved if the left side was just extended a bit, but its a functional piece. Good job tackling a weakness. Impressive sky.
Where are you going to school?
-

I'm on page 2 and 3
:D -
hai guys. Been doing a lot; i'll show a little.
supposed to be daily studies, should go do some:
I want to start getting a digital folio going
Gotta have fun:
Revisiting an older painting of mine:
edit: whoops
-
the lighting in the last painting is amazing.
the previous two monster sketches are looking kind of flat mainly due to the lighting on the green one, and the lack of contrast on the red guy, and the balance of the green one seems off. Love the sorta eel head design of the red guy though. The moleskine sketches are very impressive. Good to see some more stuff from you. Keep it up! -
Lmnop: Thanks for the critique. Taking them into account :]
Not quite daily's of anatomical interest:
-
Those are beautiful, man. Love your shading style.
Also, Danny.jpg is really fucking great. -
Thanks Dorsa :D you're too kind.
Still not quite daily nothing's:
Self portrait came out a LITTLE better here, still horrible and doesn't really look much like me.
It seems my skulls have gotten a bit better. Gotta push and keep improving.
