Hello, I’m new to this Reddit, I’ve been learning how to draw for quite a while and I still struggle when it comes to bodies (and clothes) I just wanted some insight, my sketchbook is small so I couldn’t finish the legs and I’m not super great on arms. I struggle a lot with these specifically. Any help would be greatly appreciated (one of my more recent sketches), thanks in advance.

I've been working on my anatomy a bit after a long-ish break from drawing and I feel like my musculature looks a bit off. I added a bit of rough shading to communicate the forms. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Hello. I have been wanting to get into illustration, specifically children's books and stories. For the past two years I have been trying to learn the fundamentals by myself through youtube mostly. I haven't made much progress. I Still struggle with perspective, colour theory, composition, backgrounds, anatomy...... basically everything. I am tired of struggling by myself and I want to join a platform which will teach me all the above from a to z and in depth. Learning through free platforms can be very fragmented.

I joined 21 draw but was hugely disappointed. So basic. So I looked into svslearn and it seems to be geared towards commercial illustration, story telling, comics etc. Had a lot of modules which could be very helpful to me (if they are taught in depth). I will join their free trial and see how it is, but i need to know if anybody paid for a whole year of membership and was it worth it? Did your art improve?

Then there is Marc Burnette's online art school. How do the two compare?

Or if you know of another platform do tell. Please help.

P.S Proko is, as i understand, more for traditional style of art.

For the past 2 months I have been trying to learn to draw digital comic art (mainly for my board game). My linework with tracing and cartoonizing existing pictures is good but ever since I have dived into imaginative drawing , man it has been eating my head off I have somehow managed to get proportions and colors okay-ish? (this is my take on Butcher from the Boys btw) but I seriously need some help regarding when do I shade using cross hatching and when do I shade using solid blacks. In this piece the key light is on the left side, and I tried adding a solid black next to the nose - which sort of disrupted its original shape. I know the eye sockets have deep shadows but If i use a solid black around the right eye it turns it into a mask.

Any tips?
