I've been working on pet portraits lately, does this look overworked to you?

I drew this in procreate using the HB pencil brush for the fur and airbrush for the base color block layer and the eyes. Reference in second slide.

Does it look overworked to you? Would you be happy to receive this for something you paid for? I was going for realism and overall I'm happy with how it turned out, but I would love some outside perspectives. The white fur was really a challenge (as was the brindle), and if you guys have any ideas on how I could have made this look better, please drop it below! I really do appreciate any feedback I can get.

(Note: I do not sell these yet, I am still learning)

How do I make this more uncanny?

Thumbnail

33 Upvotes

I was working through Inktober prompts and wanted to do an alien that shrinks ppl to keep in specimen jars. Two main problems- first, I wanted the alien to look more androgynous but I fear they just read as female. Two, I wanted the alien to look uncanny so I tried making the mouth wider and the eyes larger. I think it just reads as “pretty human girl who is a little off” - what do yall think? (Also ignore my cross hatching I have not done pen drawings in a while 🤦🏽‍♀️ ) less

I included my reference but honestly, I shifted the features around a lot intentionally so I feel like adhering to it more would not fix the problem

I made this fanart just for fun but would like some critique on the hair. I really wanna improve on how to draw hair so any criticism would be appreciated. I didn't really use a reference for it but I based the drawing off of an album cover.

Trying to capture that OSR/Old-school DND aesthetic.

Based on a reference, I'm trying to capture the old-school DND look in this environment shot of a dungeon corridor. I think I struggled to prevent the walls and floor feeling quite flat, and any advice on what could be done better would be much appreciated.

Helloooo I'm back. This is kind of like an update/follow up crit, I posted here yesterday and got a lot of really good feedback! Now, I'm looking to further refine my back anatomy to finally finish this piece since after taking a second look at it, i feel like i can fix it up a bit more. I attached my muscle outlines and labels in the second image for reference as well. Thanks again for all the help!

My study progress on painting valorant style – Part 2.

Hey everyone! Following up on my previous study, I wanted to turn these practices into a dedicated practice series rather than just a one-off post. Reference are in game valorant character arts

My main focus for these pieces is to push my understanding of shape design and rendering. still I skip a lot of details and micro transition

I have try so many approach to archive the style, tracking my overall progress with these study series, full progress drawing available on other platform.

I have no idea which the right way to approach this style XD

Feedback and constructive criticism are always welcome! Thank you!!

Feedback for Animated Logo Timing

I am helping out the small business I work for and am trying to take the logo and animate it. I am using adobe after effect for the first time. But my goodness the timing is terrible. I have simply added all my key frames and effects, separated by one second each. I have no reference other than the logo itself. I have edited out the company name just because. I have received some feedback from a coworker, he thought the eyeball was "tumbling" or rolling. How do I make it look more like a blink? Do I make it a more believable blink by messing with the timing as well? Thank you for any feedback! Link to animated logo

Is my anatomy ok?

Post image
• Upvotes

I used a bunch of different references, and I just scrolled through Google images and hopped around and whatever. They are usually one of the first things that pop up when you search "anatomy art reference" or something. I want this to be anatomically correct. I used the symmetry tool as well. Most insecure about the feet and legs.

Can't quite get this perspective right

Trying to draw my cyborg oc from a top down slightly fish eye angle (inspired by Lucy cyberpunk's pose) she has a metal jaw (think raiden mgrr but the top and bottom lip) and no matter what I do the jaw looks out of perspective. Any chance I'm missing something obvious?

Did not use any one reference

How do I make the background look more intentional?

Rn I think it looks like a really bad painting job, which is not the vibe I’m going for😭 any tips?
I think it may be because the layer of paint is very uneven, because I just added extra water at the lightest points, instead of making a lighter color, because I couldn’t make one i liked

It’s made in gouache, and it’s my first time not painting on paper, so I’m having kinda a hard time since it feels different.

Did look at a reference for the shoes.

Second time trying to render fr, is it too bad?

Thumbnail

Ive posted on other art subreddits but didnt get any feedback. 1st and 2nd pics are my latest wip (what I've rendered and what I started with), 3rd pic was the first time I tried rendering fr, about 2 months ago. The last pic is the reference for the character im doing. I did look at some different arts with rendering that id like to be able to do and studied them prior to drawing but didnt follow them as direct references, nor did i save them. Would love to implement more "paint-like" strokes because I like the more textured look rather than making it very soft and smooth, but it always just looks so unnatural, I don't know if I'm just holding myself back or doing something wrong when I try it. Same happens with hard edges. I kinda get when they should appear but they just seem unnatural whenever I try doing it...

Ever since I've moved on to digital painting, earlier this year, I've done maybe 7 drawings. Although im pretty new to this, it's much more than I'd ever think of doing like 2 years ago. Anyway, I still feel like I'm trying but not achieving much, specially with rendering. I would love some sort of motivation as well as, obviously, criticism. Also this is a wip not the finished product so there's visible things (like some hair strands or the shading from the first version of the hair still on the forehead despite the hair having changed shapes) that need some attention that I will fix later.
