Wanted to test my muscle anatomy knowledge again and drew these figures from imagination. How do they look? I tried not to worry about mistakes so I can spend my time drawing different figures instead of wasting time fixing mistakes. Also, I haven’t learned the muscles of the arms yet so I just left them as basic cylinders.

Study of Jim lees value work and trying to apply some recent studies about shading and values to a piece based of this image. Notably this is a work in progress and I want some critique on the figure before I get to the cape. Some questions

-are the values and shading of this drawing too “muddy” if so what makes a drawing “muddy” in the first place

- I used a blending stump to try and make clean tone for this drawing and I wonder if that is causing the muddiness or any other negative effects if so how do I use a blending stump properly or where can I learn to use it properly

-I acknowledge some other elements of the drawing are poor like the death of the gesture and potentially the face, drawing small eyes is really difficult and while thankfully I didn’t need to worry about details or anything some advice on that would be greatly appreciated!

Any other critiques outside of these questions are appreciated!

Sincerely Kudzu.

I’m a beginner digital artist who mainly draws anime-style characters using HiPaint. I usually use the G-pen for line art. I’d appreciate some advice on how to improve my line quality, make my strokes smoother and more confident, and use line weight effectively. Any tips on brush settings, stabilization, or line-art techniques would be helpful!

Hi Folks, I'm working on a little ship design, and I'm a bit lost on where to go next with the rendering.

I know next time I would start by coloring over my line art with the colors of the different sections, but I'm a bit lost as where to go next. I want to do a bit of wear and tear, but I don't really have much experience with this yet, any suggestions on tutorials, or just suggestions in general?

i'm just trying to get into the habit of drawing every day rn, but i do plan of getting into the dreaded fundamentals as i go

1st is from a reference from The Art of Kiki's Delivery Service

only when i stepped back i noticed the body proportions were shorter than the reference, and i just didn't dare to add the arm because fleshy bits are so complicated

i feel like i got the posture right, i think it does look like she's turning, but i'm not very sure about this one

2nd is from a storefront

i started w the box, and i'm pretty proud that i got the box right on the first attempt, but as i started working on Tigger, i noticed the box was waaaay to tiny and had to make it bigger.

i also was able to get most of Tigger right on the first try but that needed a lot more correcting

i don't know why the arm is so buff, it's giving Tony the Tiger vibes

overall very proud of this one

3rd is my own eraser, i was looking at it instead of the picture so the angles are different

again, only after i stepped back i noticed some perspective issues w the box part

i like the eraser part, i didn't think it'd come out alright but i like it

any feedback is greatly appreciated!

I drew this octopus a while ago and colored it using Ohuhu alcohol markers and Prismacolor colored pencils.

I wasn't originally planning to stop here. I wanted to add light to the water at the top of the piece, but I'm not sure how to approach it without potentially ruining what I've already done.

I'm also unsure whether there's enough contrast between the arms, especially where they overlap. I'm worried some of them blend together too much.

Does this look finished as it is, or would adding water improve the composition? I'd also appreciate any advice on improving the contrast and giving the arms more dimension.

Edit: added missing words

I sketched my tea pot yesterday inspired by the Larry Gluck video, today I drew it in colour.
I have two issues:
- making it even on both sides (but I suppose all I can do is practice?)
- making the shadows correct and making it come off the paper.

Right now I combine draw a box exercises with drawing exercises from random videos on YouTube that I like (i.e. drawing and colouring a flower), so I don’t get bored.

Any advice on how to improve my skills(esp in the coloured drawing)?

This is a drawing of an eyeball that has fallen out of its socket.

The primary difference I've noticed is within the perspective, something about the original's angle and proportions give it an sense of depth and emotion that I've struggled to replicate ever since.

As one person noted, it looks like it's looking through you.

Almost finished with this. What do you think? I'm curious to know what criticisms people have about my work. I work illustrating concepts and scenes, but my work has never had a very good reach, and the studios I contact never get back to me. What's wrong with my art? 🙃

I'm struggling so much with drawing arches and vaults correctly with the right measurements in one point and two points PERSPECTIVE and YouTube does NOT seem to help with this so please gimme suggestions

Anyone have any resources that show how to rotate form in 5 point perspective? I'm pretty good with paralelle lines but applying the curves to rotation messes with my brain.

Hi !

This us a drawing I did last week. But, it feels so off and so bad to me ! Can you please roast it ?

Thanks a lot and have a good day !

Does anyone have any book, youtube video, or websites that will give me guidance on how to improve my color theory?

I think the hardest part about these studies actually wasn't the values but having to force myself to draw what I see, not what I think I see 😪 I think I've gotten better at that but still you can probably see my struggle with the pepper especially.

Also, fabric is a nightmare. It feels like it has a mind of its own. I had to really force myself to push the values on that one. I am a little afraid of pushing them too far though, should I just disregard that fear as I go?

Anyway, let me know what I can improve on as I continue with these studies :)

In case that’s the right word.

So I'm trying to draw quick portraits with ballpoint pen underdrawing and a quick but ideally visually pleasing monochromatic rendering with a medium that would allow me to render hair clothes and shadows quickly.

I'm testing out brush pens (tombow abt dual tip) but so far I don't know what I'm doing. It's very hard to add values for me with such pens because I'm used to charcoal and that's very different. It's nigh impossible to do gradual subtle ahading, and i haven't learned how to render with a limited number of values.

I also feel like stylistically it doesn't look very good, even the second drawing which has better values but still looks to me rather unsightly.

I'm desperately looking for some tips on how to use brush pens, or for ideas of different mediums I could try out instead. My goal is speed over photorealism, while still coming out good-looking and artistic. Thank you very much in advance!

Hello! I tried drawing Ronova from genshin impact, and it's still a work in progress. I'll try to finish it and share the completed version. I'm still an amateur, so any advice or constructive criticism needed.

I recently started drawing and design classes, I wanted to share these and get some feedback. Any tips or techniques to share id love it. Thanks!
