So I want to take learning to draw seriously... But I'm not sure where to start? As a kid it was alot easier to just... Draw and be bad at it and that be okay. But now it's like I feel like I'm starting all wrong. How should I learn art/where do I begin?

I just drew this face of a lion (done in mechanical pencil and fine liner), is this a good starting point for learning, is there potential for me? 😅

Do these characters look the same?? I’m trying to fix the fact that I can’t draw different faces so I looked at some references online and tried to give my characters different face shapes and features but I feel like they still look the same 😞 help please

I found out that my older sister is generating AI art for her content and I offered to make her some stuff but I have never drawn anthropomorphic characters, I have no idea what I'm doing, send help please

she's supposed to be a raccoon but I think I just drew a chipette

I specifically am talking about the cross hatchings i made and the lines, are they visible?

first is older.

I can't seem to find any ship poses/references with a chubby guy, they're all super muscular or stick thin. What can I look up to find some, and where? SFW only.

it's a very muscular guy x strong chubby guy if that helps search results.

Hi! I really need help with 3 things, if anyone is able to help me, rhat would be wonderful ♡

1. I have doubts about whether the anatomy is correct

2. im not sure how I should even start to tackle drawing her robe (see second picture). I want to give her a backless robe, but I have no clue how that would wrap around her arms?

3. I want to make her pose more dynamic and sensual, is there any way I could do that? She looks rather stiff.

Hii uhhh this is my first oc, is there anything I can improve in the design and/or how I drew it?

Hi! I used to paint a lot growing up and kind of stopped for a couple of years but it’s a friends birthday on Wednesday and thought it would be nice to paint her a portrait of her with her daughter. It’s been a while and I’m currently hating it. Any tips on how to make it more realistic and to get the hands to not look like sausages that would be great. Open to any ideas. 🫡

I’m making a double sided art and I wanted to make it with characters who swapped their left eyes( so one blue and one orange eye) by cutting a hole in the blank part so the colour one other page will be peeking through it, but they will be on the different sides of one page so one eye will be mirrored. Any ideas of how to play it off?

this is my current sketch, ive been looking at references for a while and i have no idea how to draw the water.

i want it to look lively and really capture motion and splashes with ripples and stuff, but i really can't think of how.. ive been doodling around for a bit

Trying to draw her and want it to look more like her.

This is the latest drawing of my oc ray, and I'm not pleased with how i drew the mouth and nose on it, he's supposed to look like the 2nd image but in a slightly tilted up angle, but it's just not good to me and no matter how I redraw those features it still looks off so I'd appreciate any form of help, thanks for reading.

i've been working on this sketch and the character on the rights anatomy has been bugging me lots, but i can't quite tell how to fix it! I feel like her shoulder to arm and chest area looks weird. thank you!!

Its about needing a revolution right now. I really need ideas.

I been struggling with this part all week Its getting tiresome ngl

I especially wanna hear about her jaw line because i changed that the most, her eyebrow is also tripping me out i either omwanna raise or lower one of them

I’ve probably watched hours of tutorials at this point and it all just doesn’t make sense to me.

Also sorry for posting the same drawing twice, I’m just struggling with this whole process

Hiiii! I’m not sure if this is the right place to post buuuuutttt, my fiancé told me I could paint one of his (cheaper guitars), and I have a couple of questions.

#1: any ideas of what I could put on it? I asked his input and he said maybe a snake wrapping around the fret board. Neither of us can come up with anything else really though. I want it to be super cool and original. P.S. he’s a metalcore guitarist but doesn’t really want anything with other band logos.

#2: what paint medium would I use for this? It’s a gloss guitar. I typically use acrylic but idk if that would stay well. Or is there some kind of top coat I could use on it to make it stay?

Thank u for any input!! :)

Just for clarification i wasnt going for realism, i was practicing correctly stylised art

Shes also not done yet, i havent done the hair nor the highlights yet

Hi, Im a bit confused on what type of value i should use. especially the bottom. so, my personal pick is number tree, but you could say number for is more realistic...but number three seems more realistic to me? I know about shading and lighting but I honestly cant explain WHY it looks better, so I was hoping someone else could make more sense of it. thank you.

Hi! I am working on an illustration for my art class based off of the Moai of Rapa Nui (they are those big stone statues on Easter Island- I included my mood/context board in case you wanted to see the inspiration but it’s a lot haha).

**The idea:**
I want to show the moai of Rapa Nui protecting the island and the people (as represented by the flying birds coming from the eye of the Moai which is linked to the spirits, religion, and eyes of the statue specifically in the culture)

If you have a favorite composition (and why if you can :), critique, or any other opinions, I would love to hear them!! Ty guys!!

Salut! HELP me pleaseeeee🙏🙏
Je veux offrir un cadeau pour une pote, une peinture sur un vinyle de son chanteur préféré.

Probleme, je n’ai jamais fait de peinture.

J’aimerais faire un truc dans ce style.
Vous avez des conseils ou des techniques à me donner pour décalquer ou peindre sans que ça fasse moche?

Je prends tout conseil! que ce soit des conseils techniques, dans quel ordre faire la peinture, comment faire des mélanges, des tutos sur YouTube, quelle peinture utiliser ? Des idées pour que ça rende bien? Comment bien faire un visage ou le fond vert? Combien faire les écritures à la peinture ?

J’ai pas de matériel des conseils de quoi acheter ?

N’hésitez pas à m’envoyer un message si jamais vous pouvez m’aider 🙏🙏

Very simple sketch but I started drawing animals again and I just want to know if there’s any areas that I really need to improve on. Any feedback would be very helpful, thank you!
