It's a bit of a huge drawing :'D. It was my latest semi-realism attempt. It's still in uhm... full development X'D
But I never look at any other semi-realistic works, I get jealous and look at my own poop and then I stop whatever I was working on :'D

oh and don't look at the words I wrote there. It would otherwise be really empty, but I never really intended them to be there :'D

hai ^^ Feedback: Same here, not much to add. It's still a work in progress. I'd watch the eyes. Good job on the hair. The shading seems to be working, watch the neck and the clothes tho. The ear could be a tad bigger.

The background could've been more desaturated, the focal point is the face. Wouldn't recommend adding too much fancy text effects, a mere suggestion. As for composition, try avoiding putting objects smack in the middle.  The rest seems to be off to a good start. All in all, quite promising. Thanks for your entry. ^^

thanks a bunches!!

hi ^^ Feedback: Not too much to add to this one either. The foreground and background are working as a whole. The values in the background could've been more varied, the upper part could be darkened a bit more to contrast with the foreground. The clouds be more defined, same goes for the greenery.
At the moment it's really just 2 colours, wich is fine if that's specifically what you're going for. However, and as a suggestion, to add to the overal mood and the message, you could've added a sunset, for example. Just something to accentuate the feeling of hope/lifted spirits. Nothing too fancy tho, gotta keep the attention on the vocal point. The paper plane.

I'd recommend resizing the sun too, smaller? And have it fade out a bit.

Clouds Example:

All in all, great start. And you're welcome. Thanks for your entry. ^^

\Would like some feedback on drawing portraits.  Did this one of Barack.

hi Jeanette ^^ This time the link seems to be working just fine, unlike your last post.
Feedback: Something i noticed right away is the narrowness of the proportions, Barack Obama is quite present, anatomically. The head's definitely wider, especially the top of the cranium. It's relatively broad in relation to the rest of the facial features. Pull up the supraorbital foramen. Same goes for the cheeckbones and jawline. The chin seems to be suffering too, at the moment it's more feminine, as opposed to masculine. Try broadening the chin up a bit.

Here's a simple anatomical tip, the corners of the mouth should line up with the the pupils of the eyeballs.
And some reference of the human cranium.

Anatomy:

Furthermore, the sternocleidomastoideus muscle could be thicker. It's quite thin at the moment. Widen that neck up a bit. The rest of the facial features could use work too, pull out the nasolabial fold a bit more. One of the nostrils is bigger in comparison. The nose could be wider.  Good job on the ears.
I could go on about all the anatomy issues, but i'll switch to the shading from here.

Not sure if you were going for full-fledged realism or a simple value study.
As a whole, the shading could be pushed a bit. Both the values and the saturation could be pushed, try playing with those some more. The hair could be darker. Same goes for the presidential attire. Tie and suit.  As for the background, maybe add the national flag of the United States of America on a seperate layer.

All in all, nice drawing. Hope this helps. And yes, Barack Obama can be inspirational.
Thanks for your entry. ^^

i am very new to rmd, so i dont know how  to use tools very well. this is te first time i have actually tried drawing a house, or a very detailed background actually. shading is my weakness, so i would like tips on that especially. that and hair.

thanks so much (:

Hi there. Welcome to rmd. ^^ Feedback: Right off the bat, it's too flat. Here are some examples for illustration purposes:

Try fixing the angles first and introducing a bit of depth and distance. Good job on the shadows. As for the the characters in the foreground, the pose could be pushed a bit more. Same goes for the palette. You mentioned you needed tips on shading and hair. Apart from the above, the lines on both characters seem quite simplistic, i recommend pushing those some more. Example: the clothing and hair. As for shading, it's not that bad actually. The basic 2 tones are working, maybe ease up on the gradient effect.

Here's an example:

Notice the difference in shading on the second example? I'd recommend keeping it simple at first and go from there.

All in all, nice start. Don't be afraid to improve. Hopefully this has been motivating. Thanks for your entry. ^^
