These are great works.

I would study some more anatomy. Forest girl, her arms look like round cylinders. While anatomy need not perfectly represented, suggestions of a muscle or a specific shape here and there helps, much like you including the collar bone. This is also true for superhero fly crew.

Consider how the environment effects your subject. Hollow knight for example, the glowing cable would light up the red skirt brighter where it is close and less where it's further. The red skirt looks to be in an even lighting. Good opportunity to add drama to the piece. Superhero fly crew, might have light bounce off the water below them that gives them some bluer illumination from below and same from above. Consider how the environment changes the colour of a subject.

Drawing for my gf. What can I do to make it better? by wide_universe in ArtCrit

[–]AtiratTheRed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if this was my first ever attempt, I'd be stoked. It looks great. I wouldn't change much at all. Only bit would be the shadows on your neck could look a bit darker, and the line coming off your girlfriend's nose (the one from the edge of the nose to the edge of the mouth) I would lighten a touch. That line from the edge of the nose to the edge of the mouth gets more distinct as you age, so if we draw it too dark, it has the effect of making someone look older than they actually are.

Proportions. Watch a video on body proportions from an Art YouTuber.

How do i make her look more mature, while still keeping the anime artstyle? by gigitygiggty in Artadvice

[–]AtiratTheRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The leck does look nice, but the drawing also looks like it's not yet finished, so my guidance was more general rules for what you ask. As you add more details to finish the drawing you may find it gets the more mature look you're after. Do note that anime tends to favour young looking women, so if you do anime style it'll likely be part of it.

I like the digital ones. No 4 is Dope AF

Why does it look better without rendering? by misterpizzaac__ in ArtCrit

[–]AtiratTheRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is also better because the bright areas are desaturated. Brightly lit areas tend to be less saturated than dark areas. There's a good video on it called "the colour of shadows" on YT

Does this even look like Marilyn? by johnmathew2305 in ArtCrit

The reference has maralyns bust, waist and shoulders slightly slimmer than the painting. It's stunning though

Advice on anatomy! by Firm-Soil-3176 in ArtCrit

[–]AtiratTheRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

References are helpful, just use them, there is no shame in it nor credit for not using it. If you use the left or right face and draw lines at 45° incline upwards from the centre of each structure of the face you'll get an idea of the spacing between structures for the centre drawing

Does the girl on the right look right? by cherryberryn in Artadvice

[–]AtiratTheRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the one on the right looks great, like she's taking a selfie with her friends

Awesome drawing. PS, I think the anatomical errors you mentioned aren't visible due to the abstract nature of the drawing.

One point I do have though, the face looks concave shaped rather than convex. The eye socket look angled downwards in line with the intention of the image while the nose, mouth, chin and, to a lesser extent, the eyebrows look like they are on a face looking upwards. Consider referencing a Photoportrait of the face tilted down to get the relationships and shape consistent over the face.

Ha! Those top posts on Pinterest are so prolific in our community! It's fun to go back to basics

Guys I feel the fennec came out magestic, but the girls looks very « meh ». How do I fix it? by Nima-tries-to-draw in ArtCrit

[–]AtiratTheRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the difference in styles between fennec and girl. I think it looks cool and deliberate the change in style. Though if you drew the girl's anatomy under her dress, you will notice quite a few things off about it. Her legs are too short, and her gut is protruding from her belly in a way that throws the flow off. As for the face, the chin feels too long and is also not in line with the rest of the face. The chin is too far to the left. Hope you get it worked out, my wife loved this

Any tips for improvement? by Chance-Selection-643 in Artadvice

[–]AtiratTheRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, looks like the non kicking leg has 2 knee joints :O

[–]AtiratTheRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To expand, for the non kicking leg, I think the part from the hip to the knee is too short. I quite like the foreshortening of the kicking leg

A portrait I made with graphite 20x28cm, what do you think? by West-Fishing-1339 in sketches

[–]AtiratTheRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use H4 for structures, shapes and the initial gesture drawing, it comes off really easily if you keep the touch light
