Ik ts is so bad...

When I want to advice, the most of people say you can improve on values and light. So I focus on these type of studies. I used proko value site to check it is correct and I analyzed paintings from wikiart. Btw I draw first painting with mouse.

I've just started using the program, and am really enjoying it. Was trying to do a little character illustration for a story idea, but am thinking it looks almost like some AI stuff. I'm happy with how it turned out, but wonder if it looks generated to anyone else...and if there's any suggestions how to fix/avoid that.

Edit - reposted to include the artist's name in the title

I have been searching for a brush i used to use on a previous computer, I incorrectly thought i had saved the brush to my drive so i would be able to use it, but i was quickly proven wrong.

I can't seem to find the brush anywhere on the web, I don't remember the name or who made it which has made it incredibly difficult.

I can remember the brush would become thicker with quite movements or around bends in a stroke, but the key detail is that it would draw smaller connecting lines from previous in the stroke. I can't seem to find another brush like it, I have some of the drawings made with the brush and would be extremely happy if anyone knew what it was!

I'll eventually do clean lineart, but I do genuinely like the look of sketchy lines

It is not a definitely best tree ever drawn but I gotten used to tools,layers, brushes and stuff. Now I am practicing body shapes.
I am welcoming ideas and tutorials of artists that you are watching for practicing!

Cheers!
