Tried my best to render the drawing

Still need more work to reach the reference level, but it was a fun practice. Appreciate any feedbacks to improve.

Thank you for the feedbacks in my earlier post. https://www.reddit.com/r/learntodraw/s/1mvAKfVyNa

I already thought the first version looked really good but the rendered one is amazing. Good job!

Thank you :) Glad that you like it!

Initially, I thought about drawing the portrait only. Then decided why not render the rest haha.

This is dope. I love how you smoothed out the textures so they fit together so nicely.

push the values more and make the shading less flat by using a core shadow and bounced light on areas such as her left lat, like how you did with the mask

u/LemonMelonT 2d ago

Thank you for the feedback! I will try to work on the values and shading :)

Wow, that's really good!

For feedback, tbh I'm really digging here lol. They used more contrast in the original, everything besides the highlights is a bit darker. You can actually really easily adjust this with the brightness curve on your drawing software. Another thing I noticed is that your shadows are grey, while their shadows have a blueish-lavender tint. Last thing that's super minor, I noticed is you missed the reflected light on her back, the back of her neck and the underside of her right arm.

u/Roman-Baptistery 2d ago

That… is… AMAZING!!

Whoaaaaah it just looks SPECTACULAR. Like the original one is already sooo clean, and then you come with the rendered one like WHAAAAAT

What software did you use? Procrearte?? You’re really talented, I love it

u/LemonMelonT 1d ago

Thank you! Glad that you like it :) Yes I use Procreate on iPad.

Btw the 2nd pic is the reference 😅 1st pic is my drawing haha

u/Roman-Baptistery 1d ago

Ooooh okaay. I thought you first made the poc 1 and the “rendered” it to pic 2, I missed that one haha

Still, as I said in the first comment, the picture 1 is already AMAZING, really good job

u/mciccDESIGNS 1d ago

This looks really good! I think what’s missing is darker and light contrasts. If you look at the reference some focal points have a stronger light or dark. And also some texture you can add.

1

u/LemonMelonT 1d ago

Thank you! Appreciate the feedback :) I will try to work on the contrasts and texture.
