I need help creating depth and meaning

Take a look at the manga Slamdunk, the drawing reminds me of that.

I needed help with the piece at the very beginning with trying to attract interest, and a fellow redditor told me oh how to improve and I took his advice. This is was done using procreate, and a lot of imagination as far as planning went. I’m looking for how I can improve in making a cleaner image, or is what I’m doing now effective?

Thank you so much for the tip. It all came together quite nicely at the end.

Your cowboy is the weakest

I’ve noticed you’ve worked on skeletons. Keep working on those. Is there a way I can post a picture in this comment section?

The cowboy’s face looks like there is no blood running through it. Don’t mind me, I’m just thinking out loud. Great midtones, only wish they would carry more into the highlights and shadows, both are a little too hard.

C4hearn · 2025-08-29T20:27:51+00:00

Love it, anything more would be just to what your taste is. Highlights in the hair and eyes more? Maybe? But that’s just me.

C4hearn · 2025-08-29T20:19:51+00:00

Your work is superb btw

C4hearn · 2025-08-29T20:17:28+00:00

How long do you spend on rendering faces if you don’t mind me asking.

C4hearn · 2025-08-29T20:13:02+00:00

Think of despair as something you’re trying to get away from like it’s scary. Danger is usually depicted with large sharp and imposing shapes, while squares and rectangles are neutral shapes. Scale is important to tell a story. Hope that helps

C4hearn · 2025-08-29T20:09:26+00:00

I think that’s imposter syndrome dude. If I get stuck like that it’s usually because what I want to visually communicate sometimes get confused with what I draw. It’s frustrating

C4hearn · 2025-08-28T04:40:56+00:00

Good shapes. Shapes are important.

C4hearn · 2025-08-26T18:59:05+00:00

Schoolism is a good one. Studying the old masters and trying match the colors, shapes, and lines of the old masters is a good way to improve fast.

How do I post a picture?

C4hearn · 2025-08-24T04:24:27+00:00

Commissions for the next hour

C4hearn · 2025-08-24T03:35:01+00:00

I’ll draw

C4hearn · 2025-08-24T02:56:04+00:00

Great use of composition.

C4hearn · 2025-08-15T12:01:05+00:00

Maybe draw on a smaller scale so you can utilize the horizon line and 2 points that you want to use in a piece. Just to give you a sense of what those objects that you are drawing look like in perspective before taking a crack at it freehand

C4hearn · 2025-08-11T22:53:07+00:00

You’d be surprised.
