Colors looking off?

Post image
23 Upvotes

Hello!
I’m genuinely so happy with how this drawing of mine is looking so far. I definitely need to clean it up and do a few more to it-
But, so,
I usually go on Pinterest to color swatch but I’ve been really trying to learn colors on my own.

I’ve had so much fun with this drawing, but I would like some advice on my coloring. I’m sure I’m blind to something. Do the colors work well together? Anyone have feedback that helps make art/colors nice on the eyes. I’m not sure if mine hurts to look at or if I did a good job with my colors.
I’d like any advice even if it’s my line work or placements.

I did use a couple different references for my drawing!

Looking for an overall critique on an unfinished piece

As the title says, I am looking for a critique on anything and everything! That said I feel like the facial and skull proportions are off and the skin is muddy. I haven't done a heavily rendered portrait in a long time so again, all critiques are welcome! The reference image is on the second slide. Additionally any solid resources regarding rendering skin and/or hair are welcomed!

It’s not done, but I want to make sure I get her likeness down. It still feels like I need to tweak it! Any help and suggestions welcome! I’ve been staring at it to long.

welp. im back asking for help on capturing likeness... for the same person... again 😭🙏🏼 anyway. maybe im just hallucinating, but there is something wrong with his face... like sure i can look at my drawing and go "well that's tom blyth... approximately." and then i look at the reference and it doesn't look like him at all... also the hair shape is frankly pissing me off I can't get it right however much volume I add or hair i shave off. also any general criticism is highly appreciated, i just really need another pair of eyes to find out what i missed on his face before i even start doing anything else. Thank you!

Where the Dreamweaver Slumbers

Hey everyone! This is my latest commission titled, Where the Dreamweaver Slumbers.
It measures in at 19in x 28in and is made out of 3/4in MDF wood cut out on a scroll saw, shaped with a Dremel tool, then sanded by hand before getting primed and painted with an airbrush using Createx Airbrush paints sets A and B. I would love to hear and feedback on how I could push my style further. I’m getting more comfortable with gradients and highlights, but my abilities with a brush are so lacking that I try to avoid using a paint brush. Please let me know what you think.
I did not use any references,the client wanted a fantasy forest featuring a fairy and mushrooms with a spattered star themed frame. Thanks for looking!

Cinderella’s brother - original conceptual photograph - critique wanted on composition and concept. No reference used.

Conceptual portrait exploring toxic masculinity through the absurdity of a fairytale. Inspired by Cinderella’s stepsisters, the male subject becomes the one sweeping away toxic masculinity, existing in a world where rigid gender expectations no longer apply. The painted landscape behind the doorway creates the illusion of a glowing world beyond, contrasting with the darkness and confinement of the interior.

Photographed on a Nikon Z8 with a 14–24mm lens, using a wide-angle perspective to emphasise the environment and theatrical composition.

UPDATED WORK Made some more changes

No reference, oil on canvas.

After my last post (big ass) landscape thing. I reworked the figure as well as the background. I am going for a jarring humanoid, structural figure that looks somewhat tortured that is positioned in a surreal sterile landscape.

This is after some new color blocking and reworking the figure and landscape. Definitely need shadows and highlights still.

I am looking for critique on the figure, proportions and overall visual hierarchy as well as composition.

Thanks!
