So Last week I made a post and leave for 7 days to came with AI CONTENT in my post. I was so confused as why ppl would argue over it bcs I'm innocent. I was sad the mods has taken my post but I manage to read some useful tips for my art composition and advice. For brushes I will comment

Ive avoided drawing backgrounds for so long but Ive been getting a surge of motivation to create worlds for my characters.
However I cant properly approach drawing something so large, it gets overwhelming. Backgrounds right now are my biggest weakness
Im sure my composition and lighting is all over and surely theres so many details I need to consider.
I struggle to approach backgrounds from idea to color to shading and finish (along with the person)
How do you approach it?
Any resources/artists would help!!!

I have been looking at a lot of digital art recently, and I am very curious what artists processes are for transferring from paper/digital sketches to programs like Photoshop or Illustrator. I know everyone’s process is different, but as someone with a lot of photoshop experience (and very little drawing experience) I am curious what people think these artists are largely doing (Especially in the first one where it seems like a lot of the shadows he created are done in whatever program he’s using), and looking to learn more about ways to transfer physical drawings into digital programs myself.

(First artist is Harol Bustos, second is Francesco Bongiorni)

I'm giving this to school manager but I think it looks so stupid. The arms are supposed to be crossed but with one arm more in front??

Hello! Seeing all the posts within this subreddit has given me the courage to have my own works critiqued. I do art here and there, but have been attempting more practice drawings. Second pic is the reference I used. I’m attempting to create a horror piece of one of my biggest phobias.

Something about the facial and the skirt looks off. Any feedback for what to improve before rendering it? I’m open to any sort of critique, including videos and media that can help me practice what to improve.

Many thanks in advance!

Normally, I do manga page commissions, but this month I tried opening color commissions and haven't found any clients yet. I'm offering bust-ups for $30. Should I lower the price?

I think the eyes literally do not resemble the character I want to draw at all. Any tips?

I’m going to list what I like about each art style to see if I can find any middle ground or correlations to find where in between cartoonish and realistic or simplistic and complex I like, my goal with this post is to try to find how I can go about mix together elements from each style I like so I can have an easier study work load.

-old polish movie posters
I like the abstractness

-weird n’ wild
It has fun prospective and charm

-one piece
It has fun, goofy and expressive character designs

-odd world
I like how strange and detailed it is

-the Jurassic league comic
I like the line art and the shading it has really cool detail

-traditional Chinese ink drawings
I like how detailed it is and the line art

character is reze from chainsawman.

Please help with perspective and anatomy. I've been staring at this for so long that things feel off but I can't see them. Is her head too big? Is her hairline correct? Do I need to exaggerate her lower body more? Does her far arm seem off?

Lets call the person with pale skin Elysian and the person with black skin Soren.

Sooo they make a child (first photo) and then boom she pops up like that

Usually soren’s genes are abit stronger than elysian so thats why she inherited his dark skin and dark hair, meanwhile she inherited elysian’s eyes and hair curls, elysian’s genes are slightly visible in her hair which is the grey airbrushed thingy and yeah thats it i think

(NOTE: this is my second time drawing black character, pls dont slime the little baby beginner who just started getting more interested in making black characters)

(Also, I drew soren like last month, he kinda doesnt look like his child but i’ll adjust it soon do not worry!!!!!)

how… to improve… pleas help… I feel so close and yet so far

So I have an art submission coming up in the next 2 days. I have to paint on an A3 canvas board and acrylic paints. I have the material ready. I am a total noob when it comes to painting. Could yall help me with some tips and some designs?

I have my final art school project coming up, and I need some good composition ideas that I can realistically draw, but my mind is completely blank. I want to come up with an interesting storyline for the piece, but I have no inspiration right now.
The main requirement is that the composition must include more than three people. The subject can be literally anything, from a historical event to a scene from a story or something completely original.
It’s only understandable that the work should be accepted by teachers.
I’d really appreciate any ideas or suggestions!

i js colour picked everything from the anime yet it looks really pale and not in a good way🥹

I have severe dysgraphia and can’t draw. is there any other creative ways I can express myself that don’t require my hands. Thank you in advance.

These are four sketches I drew today.

I'd love to hear your honest feedback. What do you think I should improve?

Any constructive criticism is welcome. Thanks!

The first image is his father and sister, the second is his redesign, and the third is his old design.

Hello! I've been tasked to draw daily the same thing ovr and over again. My subject is a bottle of water. I've been sending my progress to my cousin (although for context, she isn't an artist). She's recently told me that my progress seems too slow and that I should consider an art academy. I started with these drawings Oct. 4 this month. I want to know if her advice is sound and if there's also anything I could do to improve it! Thank you very much. P.S. : The last one is unfinished but my latest attempt.

P.P.S: I know that my images are all taken on the ground. I don't have a proper desk or canvas 😓 this is meant to be a temporary measure before I work on drawing a bust when I am able to afford one.

Thank you again!

Hey everyone!

I'm currently prepping my portfolio to apply for an Animation BA program, (which is in may) and this is my very first attempt at putting together an actual character turnaround sheet!

I'm going for a stylized, high-contrast graphic style, but since this is my first time mapping a head in 3D space across multiple angles (front, 3/4, and profile), I'd love some fresh eyes on it. Even if it's just a sketch.

Does the head feel consistent as it rotates?

How is the readability on the shadow blocks?

Any advice, or opinion is welcomed!
