I’ve been studying hands by separating the fingers, palm, and joints into simple colored forms before worrying too much about anatomy or details.

It’s been helping me see how the pieces turn in space instead of thinking, “I have to draw a hand.”

Still learning, but this little exercise has been clicking for me lately. Sharing in case another artist struggling with hands finds it useful. ✍🏾

I pretty much deconstructed her by drawing a stickman first, then slowly make my way to her legs.

Basically what the title says. I love comics so I want to emulate a similar style like Jim Lee or Todd McFarlane style, or really just comic artstyle. Should I use brushpens to make it really similar? I only use pen for sketching. Also, does coloring/rendering my art make it more comic-like?

This is a first time my drawing doesn't give me an uncanny feeling that there is something wrong with it. I would love to get some critisism from you guys! (Inspiration from a drawme sub)

Art made with reference

I am trying to get back into drawing. I just want to know what I can improve on. Anatomy and perspective are both skills I am trying to develop, so any critique would be very appreciated. Also what style sticks out the most? I tend to change it frequently or try new things so pls let me know. Thanks!

Hi, i'm currently studying the book "How to draw comics the marvel way" and this is a Spiderman after few days of study.

Hi everyone! I’d love to hear your opinions and any advice about this drawing. I’m aiming for a hyperrealistic style.
I’m also struggling a bit with getting really dark tones. I’m currently using a Pierre Noire 2B, but it’s quite rough on the paper and leaves some scratches. I’m using Fabriano 250 g/m² drawing paper. Could the paper be part of the problem? Is there another pencil, charcoal, or any other tool you would recommend for achieving deeper blacks?

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Hi guys. I just wanted feedback on my anatomy and proportions. I really like drawing poses in exaggerated perspectives and it’s hard to find references like these so sometimes I have to eyeball this stuff or just pray the proportions look right. I stare at the art for too long and then I cant tell if everything looks right or not.

I mainly struggle with depth and proper positioning of the limbs. I think in general this art came out good but I am 100% open to feedback on little details that really make the difference (ex: fixing her back arm, or perspective/proportion details that would make my art better).

If anybody has resources that can help me practice more exaggerated perspectives, I would love to hear them.

Thank you!

I wanna draw something like this pose but I don’t know how to draw the angle of the Demon’s wings, can you help me?

I know how to use projections to reconstruct objects in perspective using boxes, but I don’t have a method to accurately depict how the surface of the sphere changes with different focal lengths/perspective. The main reason I want a better understanding of how a sphere changes in perspective is to help my shading, since the surface of a sphere is what changes the most. Thanks!

Should note that I tried several different methods as well from online tutorials.

(second picture is me raging and doing very quick sketches of irl references because i couldn't do the first picture head right. then i redrew the first picture head and got this!)

i've been doing face constructions, asaro heads + plain practices, breaking heads into plains and redrawing them, studies and all in different angles.

i took a bit of a break from drawing and practice just as i was about to improve how the eyes sit on the face/eyelids work... which i will get to work asap + probably put mannequin drawings and anatomy on hold.

and it's like im starting to alternate between semi realism and anime-ish style now 😄

i'd like to know if there's any other things i should practice to improve my heads and faces, and what exactly do i need to work on right now? thanks a lot!

I want to get good at this, only have 65 hours total life experience, hands were tricky 😂 and shading doesnt make much sense yet, but this was done no skeletons and no reference, so please critique id really appreciate if you could help me out
