King Constantin, from "The Flame Bearer"

@shadowdarkenjoyer

Hey everyone! This work was inspired by Bernard Cornwell's book: The Flame Bearer. I'm trying to achieve narrative stories into comic book panels and practicing anatomy in a perspective angle. I'm feeling stuck at how shadow works, and how to do backgrounds properly, especially on how to create depth between the rider and his warriors. My goal is to make my own comics and I'm currently working on my anatomy which is still at a novice level. As of now, I have no art style yet, but I've been enjoying a mix between Romita Jr's Daredevil, Frank Frazetta's art and Kazuya Takahashi's style for Final Fantasy XVI. Lastly, what was your favorite book that helped you grasp anatomy?

Perspective and Form

Anatomy and perspective is hard-

I’ve been fussing about the anatomy two men in the front part of the illustration. Something feels off and it’s giving a rather unnatural feel (especially the guy on the right). Help me out 😭

Rendered artwork

This was a commission I made some months ago but I think it's a good reflection of where I want to go with my style. I usually have problems with the subject looking stiff and drawing backgrounds is really hard for me. I also have always a hard time with values and for this piece in particular I wasn't sure about the colors either (since the light is blue maybe everything should have been blueish/white, but I still wanted to give some color to the skin and wounds). I would really appreciate a feedback on how I could've made this better.

what is furi kuri?

Okay!! Updated, hollistic version of the piece with (hopefully) more believeable clothing physics, and some clean up. How'd i do?

what is furi kuri?

Okay, i softened up naota's features and raised the back of his hoodie up as seen in your paintover, and yeah, i can see the difference. Definitely makes him look more like a 12 year-old kid, so thanks for reminding me of what we have to think about as artists. Unfortunately, i threw away the itadori drawing, so i can't make a revision on it...

Faerie Token

Im trying to tackle this pose but its a bit difficult. The legs are insect like like the other tokens but I would like to keep a dynamic swing to the figure. I also feel the neck is a bit off

Box method(goated or nah?)

I was wondering if this is how you use box method ,you draw the outline of box then draw the body base on its proportion in the box but for some reason my head ,arm ,leg proportion look inaccurate compare to the 3 major mass of the box I use,is it because idk the arm,leg proportion or the ribcage and pelvis?
