Paintovers! Redlines!
Yup, that's what this account is about. What's a paintover? It means one artist paints or draws on top of another artist's image, suggesting how to improve it. Submit the piece you want input on and I'll do my best help you with it.
Rules:
Only one image per request.
No rough sketches, images should be fairly fleshed out.
Quick explanation of what you're stuck on.
If there is already 5 requests unanswered ahead of yours, don't post request.
How it Works:
To make a request, leave a comment in the Comments area below with a link to the artwork and a brief explanation of what the major problems are.
When I finish the paintover I'll post it here showing the before and after.
I reserve the right to skip any requests for any reason.

If you know someone that may benefit by submitting or just following along, please refer them to drop by!

I think there are only three unanswered requests here, so I think it's safe to post. O__O

Anyway, as you can see, the image looks a little... blah. I'm just learning digital painting while simultaneously working on anatomy, shading, perspective, and essentially every other aspect of drawing/art. In short, it's tough lol.

The clothing looks flat and ugly, and his forearms seem a little blobish. Overall, I feel the pose is fine and fairly fluid, though I'm sure it needs more work. He's also supposed scowl a bit more than he is in this picture, and I had trouble making his stoic disapproval of others come across in the image.

Basically, I want to make the image feel more alive, and find out where I need more/less/better shading, coloring, anatomy, perspective etc.

hi man, thanks for doing overpainting, it really helps !!

Here is the last illustration i did, When i first blocked in the main colors of the overall composition, it wasn't that bad, but when i look at it now, it's looking so fake, and i don't know if it comes from the bad rendering, the use of colors, or maybe both, or duno ! I hope you're gonna help me :D thanks !

Your page is so inspiring, and I'm afraid I'm in a bit of a fix.

there's just something off about the background and maybe the composition, I could really use a fresh eye.
Thanks again for everything you do, I really appreciate it!

Dear Clint,

Remember me? LOL.

I'm really glad to see that you've been doing so many excellent paintovers for people and was hoping you'd take a look at something I did just now, consider giving me some help with it.

I'm afraid that although I've done the little doggie-coat, the fur isn't very 'fleshed out' because that's where I'm stuck! I wouldn't call it a rough sketch though; it's at least as finished as ~NibrasI's was.

Here it is: [link] The main thing really is the fur, as there aren't really clearly defined areas of light and shade, and I don't know how to create that kind of warm fuzzy depth characteristic of fur.

Thanks if you decide to paint, and thanks if you don't. Either way, I really appreciate what you do for the community!

This is really cool! I like to take any chance I can to get a good critique (and it's really kind of you to offer it), so here's the piece: [link]

This was my first real attempt at an underwater effect, and I'd like to know how to better approach that sort of thing in the future.
