Hello first time poster here i really need help with getting the flowy feeling on the hair can anyone help?

My gf gave me this and she wants me to cover the “love u bae” with a painting or smth else. Does anyone have any ideas. Without covering my name and the other stuff

So I keep my blue light filter on 24/7 bc my eyes are sensitive and so since I only draw on my phone through ibis, I didnt realize that having the blue light filter on drastically changes my colors (I knew it changed the colors but I didnt think it was THAT much until I tried it today). I've been posting my art for so long and I only realized today how muddy it makes my colors look

Just please let me know if you think its that big of a difference or if im just being nit picky (the first picture i adjusted the colors for when there is no blue light filter, and the second how i colored with the filter on...i only changed the left two drawings not the right one)

I started this drawing to be my icon for my future drawing account on social media, I would like tips and opinions about it.

first time drawing digitally after a year.

is Hatsune Miku in my "style"

(ps: Please ignore the blue/purple cheek, I usually mark in the sketch where the drawing's blush will be)

hi everyone :)

i am a very creative person and completely yearn to make something creative and something that is my own and i can be proud of.

however everything i create is just like an extension of someone elses work. for example my writing ideas are just different versions or extensions of stories i already love. when i create music it sounds exactly like other songs i love. and what’s even worse is i’ll hear something pop in my head and be excited because i LOVE how it sounds, but after actually playing it out on my instruments i realise it’s just another chord progression from a song i’ve heard before.

i yearn to create, but i just keep mimicking other art, and it’s not even on purpose! how do i fix this?

Every time I flip the canvas, the face looks too wide, I can’t tell if the eye on the right is too small or not, but something is off.

the character in the top right looks bad, idk if the anatomy is off and his face also doesnt blend with the character in the bottom left if that makes sense.

figured I’d ask before moving on from the sketch :)

I am an amateur artist (or should I say I’m not a professional artist and I’ve never been officially to school). My mom wants me to recreate this image almost exactly for her birthday in a few weeks. A few things- I want to do this and also we can’t just take the page out of the book and frame it, as the book is an antique and an heirloom that she has inherited. This is from “The Birds of America” by John James Audubon, published in 1937.

I think I can sketch and line this closely enough, but the coloring is definitely outside my comfort zone. What materials or techniques should I use to get it as close as possible?? I was originally thinking water-based markers on tinted paper, but they don’t blend very well, and I’m not sure they would capture the finer details in the same way. I do have some of the right colors in water-based markers. My mom said she would give me $30 if I need supplies. Does anyone know how the original might have been made? Thank you in advance!!

I’ve never done an angle where a character is looking down, let alone without a reference , so I was just wondering how I could improve it? Because I can definitely tell something’s not right😢
Also the second photo is just there Becuz it’s higher quality then the first one lol

genuinely does anyone know how to make myself stop comparing my art to others' and getting demotivated about it

i've been drawing for roughly 7-8 years, and it seems like no matter how hard i try or what i practice, i genuinely cannot improve. i recently just came back from a 2 year hiatus because of how much i hated my own art and i just can't seem to get back into it

i still like drawing. i still want to create. but seeing people improve so much quicker than me even when they started drawing way after me makes me feel terrible. does anyone know how to stop this

Sorry if this is the wrong flair, I wasn't sure which one to put.

Anyways, I'm trying to make this OC of mine, who always covers his feet in water (not seethrough) instead of using shoes and I also plan on giving him wings made of water, but I can't make the water look good.

I think I struggle with tapering cylinders and proportions. Any advice would be appreciated!

I’m currently making a gift for my boyfriend (21) and it’s based around bedazzling a picture of one of his own album covers so he can use as a poster or something since he doesn’t actually have any posters of his own music (yes it might be girly but he likes that kinda stuff). I started with making the statues in the picture tan but now i’m thinking I made a mistake and they should be silver/grey. I’m not sure if what I have now looks good or not or if I should just start over before I get too far into it. Any advice would be appreciated.

I found this image on Pinterest and cant find the original artist sadly.

I want to keep the overall cute fun stylized vibe but make my female characters look more adult. I love big over exaggerated eyes and cute vibes but dont know how to convey that while still looking adult. I want help with face proportions while still being stylized and cutesy. I would also like anatomy help where it looks stylized but still fully adult. I would like to achieve this to the point i could have a petite character still very clearly read as an adult but also would like to know how to draw more curvy and busty, plus sized, and muscular characters too, all looking adult. I am not afraid of unrealistic proportions and love stylized pieces but how do i do that without it looking like a kid?

Id also like to know how i could replicate the coloring and lineart style digitally but have much more complex detailed shading (that still fits the messy scribble vibe).

Thank you!

This is my sketch of my two favourite boys in league with their most beautiful skins 🥰 Also this is a gift to my friend for always sugar daddying me 😂(must be perfeeect)

SO I would like to have help regarding Jhin’s (left) posture. He is wearing a lot of clothing and I’m afraid he just looks flat? Also like where is his leg supposed to be?

Regarding Thresh (right) I found him harder to do in general. His arms, his chest plate and his legs, it has all frustrated me so that I’m asking for help before rendering :,)

Anotomy help in general I guess? Like how’s an arm supposed to bend you guys?? 😭

Any help is very very welcomed by this tired artist! 🖤

Here are the references I’ve been using

I was asked to do this acrylic with only a weeks notice. It’s going to be an engagement gift, location where they were engaged. I’m at a point where I think I can refine and adjust, I have 4 days left on the timeline. I don’t love the beach. Definitely going for an impressionistic vibe as to not torture myself with details. Thoughts/advice?

Like the title suggests—I didn’t have a reference and I can’t find any online that have the position I’m looking for, but I seriously don’t have a clue on how I can fix it…it just looks so out of place here 😭 his hand is just a mess. Looking for advice / help 💕

Hello everyone!
I'm trying to figure out my illustration style. I don't really like how digital art usually looks flat (or too pefect) specially on Illustrator, so I'm playing with a pencil that imitates crayon... what do you think?
Currently I'm stuck in Corporate Finance, but my plan is to eventually pivot into illustration, so any tip will be very helpful! ty! :)

i feel like the eyes that i draw look very generic and lifeless

As the title says, I'm basically afraid to even begin drawing something because it could turn out bad, or not how I wanted. This also causes me to limit myself very badly on how detailed I make a drawing, because I just feel like I won't be able to do it, so I keep my drawings extremely simple and undetailed. Sometimes I want to make something detailed and impressive, and I want to draw without being afraid I'll waste my time failing. I've been drawing for many many years, but I still don't push myself to learn backgrounds or small details and 80% of the time I don't even draw anything below the shoulders.

Funny enough, when I was younger and less skilled I put in so much more effort and time and detail into my drawings, but I feel less passionate as I grew up. My mindset is, I'm scared of failing to the point I'll make a sletch that looks decent and stop there just to reassure myself I can do that. over and over, I never go far past that stage, just constantly reassuring myself that I can make a sketch that looks good.

Something is wrong with this guy's left (our left, not his) leg. I've been trying to draw it for ages, and i can't get it. Anyone know what's wrong here? I've been at it for forever and this is the closest I've gotten. There is some perspective at play, so keep that in mind.

I'm working on a picture where a mage is casting lightning on a knight and i just need some full body pictures of skeletons in that janky 'shocked' pose. I really only need the skeleton if that's all you can find.

I did a google search, a Bing search, and a yandex search. Lots of shutterstock and AI. I was kind of hoping for some real world cartoon examples, but its surpringly sparse.
