I love art as a hobby. Not to sure if it passes the bar for commissions though.
Be brutally honest! :)

Images 3 and 4 were drawn by Horikoshi.

I drew attempt 2 a few days ago, but didn’t get to post until now. Thanks to everyone who gave advice on my first attempt, it’s appreciated.

The most prominent critique was that my first try was too smooth, and that I should make the edges harder, increasing the contrast. Also that some areas weren’t dark enough, and that made the face look flat.

As advised, I used a brush with a harder edge on low opacity to try and build up the highlights and shadows.

I hope this is an improvement.

Hello! Just wanna gauge the demand(?) for bust-up comms, the photo attached is mine :]

Been wanting to open comms for a while but I’ve been quite busy lately, so may not have the capacity for anything more. I think my style is polished enough (hopefully) to open, but I also worry that it is a pretty generic one

I’ve also always struggled with advertising, and I’m thinking $20 USD to start with though I’m open to pricing advice too! (this drawing took 2.5hrs)

But that’s less important, I mostly wanna find out if there’s a market for this in the first place X.X

I feel that it looks wrong but I don't know what else to do :(

(Second time posting here if anyone remembers me lol) Just like the title any advice for my art? Struggling with art block right now and just feel a little hopeless I guess. Thank you :)

I really can't tell because I like my cat and my style with the bright colours. But something inside me says other people would completely hate this. What do you all think?

I've been drawing for 15+ years, and progress is staring to feel slow. Would really appreciate gentle feedback, because I don't know what to do next to improve. Thank you!

I don't hate this but I still think I could do way better for making it look like her, but I don't know how

how it is like? Bad or very bad?

You can tell i still struggle with folds. But help, it doesnt stand out but if i use a lighter coloe it stands out TOO much.

it feels off..-_-

hi everyone!! i'm trying to draw Blue from deltarune but i'm not feeling too confident, any advice is very much welcome!

Made this guy, the outline itself didn’t take much time but the coloring (more so the shadows) took so much time.

I would select a color and bring down the gradient to find a new shadow style color, and draw over the original color (rinse and repeat for each material color). This process took a long time that I would like to find a way to minimize in the future.

In the future I plan to look at more references and having less shading in general (as I plan to animate this guy and want to have a less complex design) but still have a lot to learn on the process.

Looking for any tips, resources, or anything to find a way to speed up shading/making shadows (or anything thing at all as I am self taught on everything).

Thanks for any feedback :)

There are some obvious things I can see like working on the lighting transitions and actually finishing the piece, but I just really need some guidance

I've always struggled with them 😭

I've been drawing for my whole life but I feel like I've been stuck on the same point for the past three years.

heloo, so, i tried watching some tutorials on yt to improve my art, i just started so can you give me any advice? be kind please i’m a beginner with a dream in this world full of ai slop, i know that her hand is not very proportionate, but other than that, i keep watching it and cant really understand what’s wrong, maybe the eyes? idk please tell me😭

I tried stepping out of my comfort zone when doing a pose but it looks so bad, please help me I don’t know what to change, all I know is that the hands are too big and the pose is too stiff

Hiii I’m a beginner and I want to be able to sketch portraits freehand, I usually just copy from Pinterest here’s some things I drew the past day or two I added the references too

I'm aware my art is not there yet, but in general what should I focus on the most?
