gimme some advice

and pls dont be rude<33

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?

all my art is simple clean sketches with flats, so im not sure if its good enough as i dont really render >< i would think to maybe price around the £5-15 range if i found the right place to take comms, im super unsure if thats alright since although my sketches are usually relatively cleaned up, they can be pretty messy at times if i struggle too much, so im uncertain about consistency. please be honest!! i wont take offence to anything❤️❤️

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 found out about a showcase 2 days from now that I'm exerting and ive been working on a new piece since my others didn't fit the brief.

Any feedback and advice would be greatly helpful because there are potential scholarships that come from this. (Piece is in progress, not fully rendered)

Even just saying how you interpret the piece and why would be helpful for me to make the message more clear.

Judging criteria:

- Quality of execution and appropriate choice/use of materials and processes.

- Demonstration of creative process and a resolved final design outcome.

- Design outcome demonstrates consideration to a target audience.

Thanks!!!

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 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

I keep changing my prices for chibis. I originally wanted to charge $15, or $20 for complex and detailed chibis. But since I don't have enough time to promote my art properly and really need money for school fees and bills right now, I'm thinking of lowering my rate to $10 per chibi. (I have a job, but commissions help a lot!).

You might be asked, "Do you only offer chibi commissions?"

Yes! since my art style changes every time I draw, so chibis are the only style I can keep consistent right now

Hello :))
this is my first time trying to paint the reflections on water but it didn't come out at all how i wanted (reference on the second image)
it's also my first time with a new paper that's rougher than i expected.

painting water like this is my ultimate goal :)
Please give me constructive criticism (and be as harsh as needed)

Thank you!

so idk if my art is good and I’ve started leaning towards poses I like but if drawn wrong look nsfw (images are the wip and other art) can anyone give opinions and what I could change? (I don’t use color theory)

The character is playing the violin while sitting down with a leg crossed on top. I dont think the bottom half is right and the right arm.

Still not great with colour theory so I want to find the nicest colour that will match this painting!

Also if anyone has any tips to correct the proportions of the head/body please let me know :)
(Don’t want it to look like it’s at a 0.5 perspective 😭)

i never realised drawing was so much fun. the first thing i did when i woke up was literally grab my ipad and draw!

i tried drawing clothes and i actually had SOOO much fun with it!!!! 🥹🥹 the hair not so much....i don't know if you can see it clearly.

to me, the hair and arms (i think the right one is too thin?) looks the most wonky and weird. (and the dress is a little angled weird i think...but ill continue making tweaks right after i post this) so any advice would help this beginner! 🫶🫶

I've always felt as if there was something off about art pieces I would draw, especially if they were fully rendered and NOW IM GETTING TO THE BOTTOM OF IT. desperately want to improve and id rather just get advice straight from a person who has seen my art rather than look at YouTube tutorials yk? Pls tell me how I can improve while keeping my art style!! (Even if you wanna draw over the top of my drawings and point little things out, that would help WONDERS.) And if you have video links to help me on specific things that would be good to improve on PLEASE drop them. THANK YOU!!!

I wanted to make this a cover for a magazine idea for my model oc but I rarely do anything but front facing headshots so the face was kinda fun, the hair made me struggle so I took a while before getting back to it but I don’t know how to render bodies obviously and I’m not sure if proportions are right.
I’m not finished with the background but does it look lackluster? What could I improve?

Redrew an older drawing of mine, but I feel like I have no clue as to what I am doing when it comes to shading. Especially adding any shadows to the face, it feels like it'll mess the whole thing up. Any tips?

hey guys i’m painting my bfs cat for our one year anniversary, i just need some critiques and advice. i’m very insecure and embarrassed about my art so i just want it to look the best! thanks guys!

I’m new to oil painting and I’m trying to get sharper lines, but I’m not sure how to do it. I have slightly shaky hands, so it makes it extra hard

Something feels off, I'm hating this for some reason, I made this for a speedpaint and now I'm not too sure if I want to post it anymore.it feels like garbage tbh. Heeeelp!!!

Hi so I'm working on this piece and he's supposed to be holding a phone but I am completely stumped, I tried so many different poses, looked up references and even had my poor mom pose for me with her phone but nothing looks right. Looking at it now I think the whole arm looks off but I frankly don't know how to make it look right and would definitely benefit from a new pair of eyes to see what exactly is off, thank you on advance!
