Hello guys!

My name is peter i am a 15 (just turned 16) year old living in Sweden.
I am a self taught artist with the desire to improve and hopefully work with art someday

. Please tell me what to change in my pictures because at deviant art they don't provide the feedback i want.
I'm aware that all my pictures lack detail but recently I've started working on it.
Since the beginning of the year i started to paint daily(one environment a day keeps the doctor away?). Ive managed pretty well so far

I draw people and landscape-thumbnails on paper while just paint landscapes on the comp. I hope you can help me get better!

[mwahahahaha my bait to lure you in xD this image is on page 4 or 5 actually] the images below are according to the time of the post

Here is some recent work.

Hi,

sure your enviromentals are amazing! Some of them miss some deep though, not that I'm better

That's just what I noticed. What I really love about your work, are the clear lines. There is nothing blurry if you go and refine your sketches and that just makes them look overnatural - in a good way obviously. That might not look very realistic but I'm not a huge fan of "photorealistic" art. It's exacltly that clear look that I just love!! I sure got to try that too soon

As I'm not so good with enviroments I think I can learn from these so I'll just subscribe now, thanks for posting your work!!

**Stpete** · March 14th, 2012, 11:21 AM

Thanks prototypt for the feedback, ill bear that in mind!

heavy concept for soldier

**Stpete** · March 17th, 2012, 10:12 AM

Hover bike thumbnail exploration, in alchemy

**KONM** · March 17th, 2012, 10:34 AM

Nice environments!

**Stpete** · March 26th, 2012, 12:42 PM

Thanks KONM

here is a vehicle concept for our game:

**Prototypt'** · March 26th, 2012, 01:19 PM

I like to watch you painting

So you need 27 minutes for that enviroment speed paint. Do you get the ideas while painting, or do you start with something in mind? I wouldn't probably be able to do something like this in half an hour, but I'm not doing speedpaintings anyway. Because I get stuck on details. And if one part is detailed I beginn refining all the rest of the picture

But I will try this too soon!

**Stpete** · April 2nd, 2012, 07:39 AM

ok attachments....
How do you make these smaller?

Proto: thanks! I usually get ideas as i go, but sometimes i know what to do.

**jablar** · April 3rd, 2012, 06:26 AM

Those landscapes are realy nice, but you should study more the human anatomy , for sure... it will help you a lot ...
keep on track, your stuff is great

**Stpete** · April 3rd, 2012, 07:04 AM

**Stpete** · April 3rd, 2012, 08:40 AM

warmupish , im probably gonna post more anatomyyy today after lunch

fill in

**Demon Lizardman** · April 3rd, 2012, 09:43 AM

It seems like your landscapes are nice, so just start working more on your figures, just keep going with them.

**Harlow58** · April 3rd, 2012, 09:53 AM

Please tell me what to change in my pictures because at deviant art they don't provide the feedback i want.

**Stpete** · April 3rd, 2012, 11:12 AM

demon: my environments are far from what i want them to be

harlow, you can start a thread on this site, people will give you feedback eventually

whats you DA name?

**Prototypt'** · April 3rd, 2012, 11:40 AM

Hey, here is a huge bug I noticed: http://www.conceptart.org/forums/att...1&d=1333447580

You can't just copy the image to create the reflection. For example you would only be able to see one side of the wall of the tunnel in the mirror, because its offset. The perspective just doesn't match anymore and that makes it feel wrong somehow.

I hope you know what I mean. It's quite difficult to describe if I can't point on the picture.

Hope that helps

**Stpete** · April 3rd, 2012, 12:50 PM

Woah never thought of that, thanks proto!!

Ill look for some ref to see how it really is

**Prototypt'** · April 3rd, 2012, 01:11 PM

Maybe you should not see it as a mirrored image, but a second room behind a glass wall. This way you would draw it in the correct perspective

You just have to imagine everything a bit different. mirrored

here is a quick example of the different perpectives. I know its not so good, but just to show you what i meant. The right one is correct, the left is incorrect (watch the symbols and where they mirror):

**Mila** · April 3rd, 2012, 02:21 PM

Improving rapidly, I see! Keep up hard work.

**Stpete** · April 5th, 2012, 05:26 PM

ok i started painting a environment, totally forgot to do anatomy :C

some alien concepts, my team still doesn't seem happy

i like this one more than the one above

and the landscape i shouldn't have done

**Stpete** · April 6th, 2012, 09:03 AM

yay some better anatomy

**merl1n** · April 7th, 2012, 02:25 AM

Hello. Quite a nice thread you have here. The environments are very promising.
At this point, I would advice you to grab a pen and pencil and to do some life drawings. Do anything from quick sketches to precise anatomy studies. This should support your academics, especially if you have some instructor who can check your progres on the go.

And thanks for dropping by my thread.

Cheers

**Stpete** · April 10th, 2012, 02:30 PM

thanks merl1n, i should do that when im not by the computer

, unfortunately the good art teacher from my school is sick and wont be attending more this term which is my last term at this school and then ill be moving on to a high school.

thanks for dropping by

here is a female im working on,

ok here i need some help with perspective

can the roof of house #1 do that? You see in the top view how i want the house but its not following the perspective rule, unless im using another vanishing point.
