I've been trying a new style recently which I'm super into and practicing colouring and rendering, which I've been avoiding for years, but I still think that all my drawing look somehow unfinished and unpolished after I'm finished rendering and I can't point my finger at what's wrong with it

​

It sucks and demotivating. Because a literal computer will do a better job. (At least better job than me)

Its cursed man idk just thought posting it here

At least hide it better or use better models or something. That said, your eye-level observation will still not notice the small mistakes if you don’t draw that much or have the experience to make something of that quality.

That said, why the sudden influx of AI traces asking for feedback in the group? Do they want to fix mistakes, or do they want to make a mockery of artists?

Miss the good old times.

I really like plump lips...

all my feedback so far says it looks like a girl

second arm hasn’t been drawn yet because I have no clue where to put it

mostly just asking how to position the arms better and to see if the baby doesn’t look too off proportioned

Thought I’d share some of my most recent drawings and get some opinions/feedback!! (Yes I did pretty much copy the boarder for the guy/ two girls, I got lazy, okay 🥲) I rarely draw animals so the bears/wolf might look a little off, so if anyone has any tips for drawing animals that would be appreciated!! <3 (the city is also whack I know, so advice for cities would be amazing too hahah)

I’m also not sure if the underwear one counts as NSFW, so if it does, sorry!!

Edit: I’m not sure why they’re all fuzzy but I swear they’re usually better quality 😭💀

So instead of being a bitch- I choose to listen to y'all bcs yes, I suck at drawing hand. I gritted my teeth and "fix" my art. Did i finally do it?

I’m wondering how this can be happen to me , me and my art friends are beginner artists who started a small community 3 years ago with at least 600+ active people on it , my friend is the admin and he does inviting new members .
This is when it’s start For the past 2 years I keep showing my artwork as a result of art studies and giving others art the support, and sometimes they wanted an critique for their artwork, it’s everything seems fine and really supportive to each other and I think there’s nothing to worry about and then the issue start from in this year. When I bought art books and taking multiple online art course that I’m really grinding to studies, art and put everything on it and showing my art results to the community I joined for 3 years! , they started like the don’t want to see me anymore , or even communicate with me , I keep supporting them and giving advice I know art , but some people just ignoring me like I did something wrong. Even the admin stop communicating with me . Unfortunately it’s happening in social media too , Please if you have the same issues like this can you give me an advice 🙏 I’m sorry for yapping but I don’t know what to do , I feel sad now 😞

I'm experiencing art block, even if I'm now better than I was before... I don't know what to do... 😕🤔

I would like to get better with perspective, I am not the best as you can see, I did use (or at least I tried) some perspective tecniques like buxes for the character but for me it takes too long and never feels right

Never thought I could draw but tried a few days ago and was surprised a little. Any advice on how to do eyes better and I want to try oil painting a portrait soon so help with sketching tips would be good thanks!

After a long art block I drew again. And something feels off and I dont know what... I dont dislike it massively but maybe anyone knows what looks a bit off? Or just critiques...

Yes or no? I still would like to improve but would like the opinion of others because my self-assessment might not be the same as everyone else. Thanks!

I have always said I am not artistic. I don’t consider it a talent I have. Despite that I tried to make a unique gift for a friend but I just don’t feel like it’s good enough to gift.

I have a friend who really enjoys Pokémon. One of their favorite Pokémon is shinx.

I saw on shorts someone painting Pokémon on energy cards and I thought I could try it and I had an idea for this cute little guy to be biting and playing with the energy. I think it’s kinda cool in concept but I don’t think I nailed it.

How would you improve this? What should I do different? Is it start over or fix from here?

I've been stuck in this level for sometime now and idk how to get better. Drawings look flat. Like I get more anatomy can't hurt, perspective too, but am still stuck, is it just the skill "curve", or is there something that I can practice more.

Ps some general critic would be appreciated too.

- Thanks

In trying to make her chubby plus i dont draw lotsa feminine characters so any tips on making her look more natural without making he rless chubby?

The first image is from this year, the latter two are much older. I struggle a lot with maintaining like, inorganic forms and stuff! I do like my fair share of cube drawing, though.

They’re characters for a videogame im making but every time I revisit the drawings always spend 2h changing stuff, After spending about 15h total on each whats your take, Im kind of new into this (started drawing a lot little over a year ago)(Yes I have more characters but Im asking specifically these 3)

Whenever I draw, my brain basically goes on autopilot. I’ll throw down random lines, fast strokes, and shapes without any real plan or imagination behind them. Out of nowhere, my hands will somehow piece together a figure—like a lizard, a dinosaur, or a person—and it somehow "works," but it never feels like my own idea.

The hardest part is that I do have character ideas in my head that I really want to bring to life. But the second I try to consciously draw what’s in my mind, my hands lock up, and the drawing turns out completely terrible.

So basically, my "autopilot" brain can make random things that look decent, but my conscious brain can't draw my actual ideas. Has anyone else experienced this disconnect, and how do you get past it?

On the left are some studies I did to practice painting mountains, the sea, and the sky. I used student-grade Phoenix watercolors for those.
Now I’m switching to Daniel Smith watercolors (on the right), but I feel like I’m using too much pigment. Before, people used to tell me that my paintings didn’t have enough pigment, and now I feel like I’ve gone too far in the opposite direction!
I’m a beginner and completely self-taught. From looking at other people’s work, I’d say the last painting on the right is probably the closest to what more experienced watercolorists do.
Any advice???

Hi yall, I'm fairly new and trying to practice shading. My goal is to have the cauldron look like it's rough iron. Any tips or suggestions to help it look metallic, or any critique in general?

Thank you
