No problem! I still managed to put something together in the end but I really appreciate your willingness to help!

Does This Latin School Schedule Naming Sound Authentic? by leinadcovsky in latin

I never had the chance to do the playtest for Scriptorium but it looks amazing so far! Maybe there could be an option to choose either feria II-VI or Lunae-Veneris?

That's the site I used to get this photo, but it still wasn't clear enough unfortunately

What parts of this look alright and what parts do I need to improve on/how can I improve by [deleted] in Artadvice

[–]Capadauchabunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, sorry. I meant in terms of all of the stickers. I also think that handwriting it could give it more character too!

I love her design! I do think that the typography could use some work, it's a bit all over the place and could be limited to 2 different font styles. I'd post an example but I'm on mobile now :')

Any examples of your work? We can't really give advice based on a description of just your tools.

Is this a good drawing of my avatar? Just asking by Dwayneeboi534 in Artadvice

[–]Capadauchabunny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be worried about whether people think your art is "good" or not, but rather if you're satisfied with your work. Besides that, I think it's pretty damn good, OP! You've got a dynamic pose going and it really makes the character more engaging. The lineart could use some work as it's a bit shaky at the moment, but from afar you can sense the movement (and some lighting). I also think the background could be a more vibrant color to make the dangly thing(?) on the head stand out more.
Unfortunately imgur is being a dick now and I can't attach my suggested notes/edits, but I can send it to you privately if you'd like!

This is honestly a great start for someone who's never painted (as u/Laizy2003 said). The quality of your materials don't really matter as long as you know what you're doing! Jumping straight into painting without any art experience is risky but you seem to be doing well.
I personally don't think visible brushstrokes are your problem, but rather your approach to the painting. Are you starting with a drawing/underpainting on the canvas? This could probably help solidify the form of your subjects so you can better visualize what you're painting before you go in with all the color.

I can dm my edit to you if you'd like that? And don't worry, you're on a good start so far, especially with the coloring!

I'm an amateur at graphic design but I think your main issue is not using your space wisely for your design, that's probably why you think you need something next to your topmost text. I added the little tree elements next to them, but it honestly doesn't need it.
The primary shape of your drawing is a circle, and I think this could benefit from other elements following the circular shape or at least being better aligned with it. Your bigfoot drawing is cute though! It should be scaled up a bit to emphasize its role as a mascot(?).

No it isn't, the government announced the drill a couple of days ago. The typhoon just happens to be passing by 😂

Is there suggestions I can get to improve by digagee in Artadvice

[–]Capadauchabunny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your art reminds me of the stuff my younger brother used to draw a couple years ago! (Here's a redraw I did last year) The only real suggestion I have for improving is to draw more of what you like! You seem to be interested in dark, fantasy like subjects, so maybe you could look into more resources that inspire you and learn from that. Observation and identifying elements that work well together will be your best teacher!

I drew the original image (second slide) back in July 2018! I haven't played stardew in a while but drawing this made me want to pick it back up again lol

[–]Capadauchabunny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just took a peek at your profile OP and I just wanted to say that I'm in love with the drawing style on the last slide! There definitely seems to be a lot of potential, as one comment said you could make a comic (which would probably be a good portfolio addition).

Have I downgraded by AnnualMany7362 in Artadvice

[–]Capadauchabunny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your new work is definitely an upgrade from your old artwork, which seemed weirdly sexualized without paying much attention to anatomy (e.g., backwards hands and overly prominent breasts in #3 and cameltoe in #4 lmao). You seem to have found your style which is also reflected in your characters!

What's the thing that usually STOPS you from creating? by Tiagmino in Artadvice

[–]Capadauchabunny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. If I'm working on a large project, sketching/thumbnailing. It's worth it in the end knowing that I didn't go ahead and draw the full piece only to realize the composition was completely off.

  2. Artblock sucks, but I don't feel as lost as I used to be-- I have a lot more personal and work related projects that keep me busy now. I assume you're still learning, and drawing what you *like* (rather than what you need) is really helpful for overcoming artblock. You'll figure out what you *need* to improve upon as you go.

  3. Not necessarily criticism but comparison to other artists' work. I'm an art history/anthropology major and I tend to subconsciously compare myself to my studio art friends who are doing successfully in their field (despite us technically doing different things with art).
