Description PLEASE NOTE: This was just a quick test for some speedpaint ideas I wanted to try out. The sketch I used for lineart was done very quickly without regard to anatomy and such. Future work of this nature will be done with a proper base.

So please, no critique unless it's about the coloring method itself, not the image as a whole.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's been a very long time since I've done realism, mainly because I have a lot of trouble with things like lighting, texture, and color. This piece was done to practice and test perception tricks, not to make a final product. But it turned out well enough that I tentatively decided to post it anyway. I'm not very satisfied with it since I didn't implement texture or a well-rendered pose, but I figured you guys might like it.

I might redo this piece with good lineart for a base, but it's hard to say for sure.

btw, the size you're seeing it at is about 25% of the original proportions.

Very nice colours and great job at the shading, but especially that you still have to improve a bit.
The collar for example seems to be enlightened from a different direction than anything else, but the rest is really cool.

Dude, if I was half this good at drawing at a normal pace, I would quit school and become an artist

Thanks. Though I must say, if you did that, I'd be doing everything in my power to get you to stay in school to become an artist. The best of both worlds! lol.

Well...when you put it that way I guess I should stay in school, huh?

Thank you. ^^ One thing I love about Irkens is their bright colors, so it's only natural that I use one as a coloring test.
