Hixxi Posted January 6, 2017 Share #1 Posted January 6, 2017 [align=center]Hey I'm Hixxi. I'm a painter/graphic artist, although the latter is more of a hobby than anything else. This thread is a nicely organised dump for shared artistic suffering. Featuring but not limited to: Bad puns. Soul crushing screaming. Elves Elezen of all flavours. Fan art of games I will never play. A crippling addiction to Photoshop brushes. No one paying me to draw men because ?????? >> Graphic work I've done including character banners can be found in this album. << If you're the sort of person who likes obsessive social media stalking, I do giveaways sometimes. http://hixxi.deviantart.com/ http://hixxiart.tumblr.com/ [/align] 5 Link to comment

That's leaps and bounds and really impressive , what do you think it is that help you improved so much ? Is there something you focused on learning or observing? Not to make this a interview or anything I could just use some advice. Link to comment
Hixxi Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share #8 Posted January 23, 2017 That's leaps and bounds and really impressive , what do you think it is that help you improved so much ? Is there something you focused on learning or observing? Not to make this a interview or anything I could just use some advice. My top three tips for improvement would probably be: Never. Stop. Drawing. Use all the references! Life drawing classes are great! Seriously, I used to think that using references was cheating but umm ... how am I supposed to learn how to draw things if I don't know what they look like in real life? My art improved leaps and bounds when I started using references and took some life drawing classes! (Also I got faster). I still have a huge amount to learn but I don't think any artist is every truely happy and always wants to improve, haha. In other news, I made an eyebrow drawing tutorial this evening. It's very light but I hope it's useful: [align=center][/align] 1 Link to comment
Hixxi Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share #9 Posted January 26, 2017 Folk! I have a request. I want to try my hand at some screenshot edits but my problem is that I am pretty terrible at taking screenshots. SO. If you are sitting on a particularly nice screen of your character you don't mind me potentially butchering, please feel free to send to me and I will try and knock a few out. It would be helpful if it was in as high a resolution as possible! You can just PM me an imgur link or whatever is most convienient. Link to comment

Lucius Ignatius Posted March 8, 2017 Share #22 Posted March 8, 2017 Beautiful works here! I wanted to ask if you had the time, is there a certain brush pack you prefer to work with? If you work in photoshop? If not, what is your process? I've been trying to get a good contrasty-feel to my own work, I think Ive started it using Adobe Illustrator, but I'm still learning. :3 Link to comment
Aysun Posted March 8, 2017 Share #23 Posted March 8, 2017 Ughhhh I love your stuff. It's so soft and beautiful. 1 Link to comment

If you work in photoshop? If not, what is your process? I've been trying to get a good contrasty-feel to my own work, I think Ive started it using Adobe Illustrator, but I'm still learning. :3 I use Photoshop CS6 exclusively. Have dipped around in SAI from time to time trying to convince myself that I like it but I don't. I have a tonne of brushes and like to experiment with different ones all the time but right now I'm using a brush called 'silk and satin' from this set! I have a very specific painting set up where I will pretty much do all the shading on one layer which I will then set to multiply or linear burn or what have you, and then colour underneath on a seperate layer. Then I'll have a layer on top of all THAT where I make little detailing adjustments. THEN on top of all THAT I'll have a set of adjustment layers where I fix things like levels, textures, ambient colour, whatever else. Here's what my layers looked like on the above: Ughhhh I love your stuff. It's so soft and beautiful. I'm pretty sure that, since your icon is of a Miqo'te, you are the one who is soft and beautiful.
