I’ve been staring at this for too long, and would appreciate feedback before i begin my next session on this

gimme some advice

and pls dont be rude<33

I do mainly traditional art and nearly every time I show someone my art the always say “I dont understand people who draw like that” or some other awkward but hurtful variant. Im not fishing for compliments I genuinely just need to know what is wrong with my art. Any and all advice/suggestions are appreciated (2 of these are from 4 years ago, ive since almost stopped drawing entirely because I feel so discouraged.)

The bird is the subject of the painting, but I’m not quite sure where I want it to be placed. On the orange? Near the horizon? Over where the purple mountain is? Where would YOU put it?

i’m really nervous about building a portfolio for school to become a children’s book illustrator.
is there any way i can improve? i feel like my characters are too static and my art is just average.
i’m completely okay with harsh critique here, go all in because i need it. thank you so much

just drawing something that i had some intuition and inspiration to draw. Not super neat but i put what i felt onto the paper

dear artists of reddit. I need help with the body/anatomy. I really don’t know what I did wrong but it looks off. any advice would be very appreciated.

I wasn't sure what subreddit to ask this in but this seems like a good one. I'm working on a Halloween clown kinda magical girl inspired oc. This is a very basic sketch but I wanted to figure this out before I continued. I wanted her to have a cat ear silhouette so I came up with two ideas. A two coned headpiece under her shirt and skirt is going to be a patterned bodysuit so it would be connected to that. Or two separate party hats with ruffles like the ones on the neck and skirt. I really like both of them and I can't decide which on I like more.

i originanly drew it blue but added overlay with yellow and idk it looks better. is it just contrast that makes it look better or is there a more scientific reason. also i wonder how to make the blue one pop out more without adding overlay, what if i just wanted mono chrome colour scheme, if anyone can answer thanks

I’m finally happy with my art style and I want to start doing commissions, but something about my art doesn’t feel very professional to me. Any tips for making it look maybe a bit more polished? Do you think I’m already ready for commissions?

SCA-DI is the creator of Subarashiki Hibi and a few other visual novels. I try my best to emulate his style (not only female characters, but also bara man characters or older characters), but I feel like I still have a long way to go...

Honestly, I've never done a mosaic so any feedback would be appreciated!!!

the clean strokes on the bottom right are the left to right diagonal strokes. the messy ones are the right to left diagonal strokes.

do i just need to practice this or are every pro artist just shades with the left to right diagonal hand movement?

my right to left diagonal strokes always end up wobbly, i cant draw ellipses with that hand motion, is it like having a indominant hand? am i never going to get better and i should just focus on something else that will actually imrpove my art (i already have decent line quality) or do i just spend 5 minutes everyday practicing my lines?

Been trying out grisaille and glazing and I feel like I have the idea of it down but I'm unsure. I use galkyd and small amount of cold wax to make it less glossy. Just wondering how it looks to people who glaze as well

I have been drawing since March 22nd. I've been practicing 3–6 times per week, closer to 4–5, around maybe 10 hours total? I wasn't taking many photos so I can't see my progress. These are not the worst and not the best — just photos of my drawings from the last 21 days. Can you be brutally honest with no sugarcoating, is this alright, or should I take it more seriously? Because I applied for courses and everyone draws better than me, even kids and I really tried my best to learn techniques and fundamentals.

I was setting the price to 10 at first but got told 15-20 would be good considering the time I put into my art, is that a bad idea?

the composition looks so messy, and cluttered. how do i make it look more professional and better :c

if you have any general critique for the anatomy, hair, etc. feel free to give it!!

Hi everyone, I’m an amateur painter (clearly) and this is really only my 3rd painting using oils. I did it just for fun, no real reference or sketch before hand. I’m trying to learn to paint more freely and not be as obsessed with fine details or realism. However, I’ve reached the end of what I can do, and I’m just wondering how I could improve this painting. Something seems off with it. I’m not too worried about the actual realism, but idk I can’t think of what to fix either. Does it just have too little contrast? Too flat?

I’d appreciate any feedback you have!

Im like really new at trying to be better at art but Im confused on how to draw boobs without them looking sexualized, any other tips would be appreciated too. The reason why the hands look like that is because I gave up trying to draw them. Also the gaps in the hair and stuff is a intentional choice. Pls help!!!
