From the video
Answers: How can I improve my digital character art through paint-over critiques?
- digital art paintover critique
- color saturation adjustment
- hand anatomy and line weight
- facial anatomy and minimalism
- stroke economy and shape design
- banding and brush stroke transitions
- sequential art panel composition
- underwater lighting and texture rendering
What it concludes
- Pushing the overall color scheme into something more exaggerated at the start makes it easier to dial things back later.
- Banding can be reduced by implementing shape appeal into stroke economy and transitions.
- Extra restraint and minimalism in facial features usually lead to more appealing results.
- Dark hair reflects the environment much more, which can be exaggerated by introducing colors from the sky or background.
- Adding movement and life to an image is always valuable by letting elements like cherry blossoms fall around the character.
- Redefining objects purely by the relationship to light and shadow helps reduce visual clutter in complex scenes.
