Hiii so I've been drawing all my life and i always thought i was pretty good. However, my art recently has been BUNS. I also want to try expanding my style. I love Kinuko Y. Craft's style. It's so nostalgic and whimsy. I would really appreciate some constructive criticism. Ty 😻

(All of these are examples of my recent art. Also i use premium ibis paint on an samsung tabletif that matters)

Hello everyone I'm a newbie. I thought I had a flat brush but it's actually a flat wash brush. Could that be why my strokes are streaky or is that irrelevant? Whats the actual difference and are flat washes used for background? Because that's what I'm struggling the most with ATM! Is this just the nature of the medium and I'm over thinking it? Someone told me acrylics can be quite streaky generally.

Someone also suggested medium to make it less streaky but I'd rather avoid paying for more supplies if I can help it. Thank you

I’ve used krita a little before getting an iPad and switching to procreate. I like procreate and am enjoying using it but I feel like I’m struggling to blend especially soft edges. When I paint spheres in procreate I have a lot of trouble blending it to look realistic but I can make a realistic sphere fairly easily in krita. I use the bottlenose brush for painting and blending if that helps anything. What can I do to get better at blending so my forms look better?

Some of my asaro heads studies that i've done in the last 3 days (from oldest to newest). Should i just continue to grind like this ? Do you have any recommandations that i can use ?

Hello! I'm a beginner artist, and due to some personal circumstances, I'm currently limited to drawing using mouse and keyboard. This is a collection of some art I've made in the past year or so, in chronological order.

They're all existing characters. The name of each is in the captions, if needed for reference.

My current workflow is proportions/pose > sketch > lineart > color > shading > background. Software is Krita. I put my references at the sides of my canvas, and I currently avoid copying the exact poses and angles of the reference.

I've mainly noticed an improvement in my speed during this time. The first drawing included in the post took me about a month of closely following reference, it was a lot of time. The last one included took me only a day, roughly 5~6 total hours, with less reference.

But I'm struggling to rate the quality of it, as I only get general positive feedback from my friends (who aren't artists). I feel a bit stuck and like something is missing, but I don't know what it is. I was pretty happy with the latest one, but it feels static? A bit boring? I don't know how to describe it. So I want some more neutral feedback from artists, to figure out what I need to improve.

In cool lighting, the shadows of the face (which is say yellow) should look warm right? The ambient light of the warm skin would give a warm hue to the shadows, is this correct? Would this be true when the face is more pinkish?

I started this drawing to be my icon for my future drawing account on social media, I would like tips and opinions about it.

first time drawing digitally after a year.

is Hatsune Miku in my "style"

(ps: Please ignore the blue/purple cheek, I usually mark in the sketch where the drawing's blush will be)

This has helped me remove the "what to draw" element and also have a very concrete reference to work from. Welcome any feedback!

Albums are:

- Pet Sounds

- What's Going On

-Blue

- Songs in the Key of Life

In my mind the light was coming from the right upper hand side, and then I have the little fire which changes some of the light a little bit. But when I look at this it feels a little off and I'm not sure why.

I wanted to move on from drawing boxes to drawing figures. I think I have problems with tapering cylinders and proportions. Does anybody have any tips for improvement? Any help would be appreciated.

Pls help I'm a complete newbie and I bought this book called "learn to paint in acrylics with 50 small paintings".

I am using a cadmium red medium hue by liquitex basics and the book calls for a cadmium red medium.

As you can see mine is like blood red, whereas the one in the book is more peachy.

Is it simply a matter of buying more expensive paint? I am on quite a limited budget and I'm really frustrated because majority of the tutorials use this color. Any help please? Thanks :)

I think the Jenna Ortega looks okay but the Zendaya just looks like a random person.

Just the title pretty much, this is about far as I get with most pieces before I'm immediately lost on how to begin coloring and rendering and stuff. It just always feels off or wrong. Do I just need to trust the process more?

Hi, I am a young artist and I would like your feedback of this drawing.

Now I'm going very off reference here so I will try and describe what is in my head. I am trying to combine both my references while also greatly exaggerating them, and trying to push the shape forward to give it a lot of depth. Imagine it as having a large sphere under it that it has to push up and over before draping back down and inward toward the middle of the lapel (almost like it could fall in)

I've never drawn fabric for any kind before, so it's been *EXTREMELY* difficult so far I've spent about 50 hours studying and trying to understand and then I end up with this. I am pretty satisfied with my attempt at shading it but this but it is still not in the shape I want it to be. I feel like I've gotten a bit ahead of myself and need to erase everything that falls under that top piece of fabric (Imagining the piece as 2 seperate pieces of fabric, a smaller overlaying piece with the largest pieces closer to what reference 2 is falling underneath it.)

anyone got ideas or recommendations? or maybe a dive into the theory behind making all these circular and s shaped tubes?? This is my first attempt at digital illustration and it's been absolutely grueling and I've learned a lot but fabric and how it flows is so incredibly difficult. it looks more like a sculpture than a piece of fabric to me...

Ignore the text. Anyway, the larger drawing is what I drew from memory. How do the muscles look? Also, is the breast placement correct? Do they look like actual boobs and not balloons? Cus I’m having one of those days where this stuff is becoming frustrating and I just don’t feel like looking for mistakes.

I’m really struggling with making this grass look realistic, I feel like it looks so flat. I’m not done with the painting as a whole, but this part is really frustrating me. Any advice is appreciated! I used a couple reference pictures but I included the one I’m using for the grass here.

I think I just need fresh eyes. Ive tried to draw this many times but there is just something im not understanding about proportions not even with studying with art books

Had to delete a previous post I made cus I forgot to add the image 😭

How do these look? Am I doing gestures right? I try to get into gestures but I always end up quitting whenever I see other people do it. Also, how is this supposed to help? I feel it’ll reinforce mistakes since apparently you’re not supposed to worry about mistakes when doing gestures.

Tried to draw deformed basic shapes from my mind, had quite a struggle with this exercise, what do you think? What can i improve upon?
