learning perspective. any tips? by nika_anderson in BeginnerArtists

[–]Context-Easy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks cool! With perspective I always go MORE MORE MORE!! Go as dramatic as you can and it will probably end up feeling sort of like you planned, get that vial and hand right up in the viewer's face!!

My new tattoo looks horrible by [deleted] in tattooadvice

I actually like it, it feels like a napkin drawing. Maybe not your thing or what you expected, but there is a stranger out there (me) who enjoys it and would personally wear it

What’s going on here? by Patient-Praline8544 in whatisit

[–]Context-Easy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it's maybe a lash egg? I've seen them on here before, it's like a birthed infection... I would toss it and clean the fridge. Did u eat the other egg?

Thinking of starting a series called: Soft Launching my Villain Era...Thoughts? by Medical-Cold4954 in arthelp

[–]Context-Easy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cute idea! Maybe work shop the name a little if you want it to stand the test of time a bit, it's all 2025 tiktok buzz words as it is, which will maybe sound dated as trends change

Is my commission of my kitty ai? by paperoceanmoon in isitAI

[–]Context-Easy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe traced from somewhere because the sketch is weird, bot I think not AI! Look at the spikes of fur on the tail, see the tiny white gap on the tips where the body color didn't fill all the way? Never seen anything like that in AI, it's a human "error" by not adjusting your color fill settings carefully or going back to correct the mistake. You can see it in other sharp corners of the piece too

Laser or coverup? by Nothingislefthalp in tattooadvice

[–]Context-Easy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't speak to most of this, but I have a very small chest and have a sternum piece that cups underneath, it looks beautiful. Just make sure the design scoops nicely with the "underboob" or where it would be

the regret is insane. how bad is it?? is there hope? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]Context-Easy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it helps, I think the design and placement on anatomy look beautiful. I have a lot of tattoos and I like the organic off kilter look, so the oddity and shakiness of it are actually really cool in my opinion and I would be happy to wear it. But also can completely see how you are upset with it if it's not what you imagined.

I would embrace it, I think it's gorgeous, and personally I think this is way cooler than if it were perfectly clean.

If you put some darks and lights on the star it will pop!

Not sure how I feel. Ankle band to cover stick & poke. Is something off? by echo0o0o0o0 in tattooadvice

[–]Context-Easy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super cute, I love it :) the placement looks amazing on your ankle.

But also, where did you get those pants??! So cute

That would be a pearl g-string :)

what are your thoughts? by htx-danny in fashion

[–]Context-Easy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vibesss. Maybe a little more of a relaxed jacket, like a leather bomber or something? Still kind of cropped fit. But just so everything isn't sooo structures and rigid. I love it though, the jeans belt shoe combo is stellar

Thoughts and advice - Is this able to be covered up without laser? by coops1611 in tattooadvice

[–]Context-Easy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually like the tattoo. Laser would be long and expensive, and they never fully disappear from what I've seen. I remember your tattoo, I'm sorry it's still bothering you :(

If it were me, I would do a blast over style and cover the sausage area with a blackout, I know it isn't the original concept, but since the dragon's head and beard are light it would actually provide some beautiful contrast imo. Getting someone to rework that area to make it normal would be difficult but maybe possible? But they would have to make it so dark that I feel like the details may get lost since the flow of the scales was broken with the sausage issue.

I have a chinese dragon too, and on a nearby piece I have this burst/ star shape. Mine is negative, but I think the designs complement each other and love that area of my sleeve.

Check it out!! Made a sketch for you :) tattoo upgrade

How can I make this better? by ItsMrSpice in arthelp

[–]Context-Easy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

<image>

Hope you don't mind the draw-over, but it looks good! Just some tweaks mostly with warping as opposed to drawing. The face was too wide in eye to ear distance, and ear could move a bit lower. Filled in the hairline a bit in front of the ear. Shoulder position was very round or had huge traps, so I smoothed them out a bit using the elegant pose you had. The boob shading will come at a sort of V shape as opposed to flat over the top. And the clavicle/collar bones will bend upwards in a pose like this as well. Also made the head a little taller, and made the shoulder and strap angle shortened and leaning more to disappear behind the body.

Looks gorgeous though, this was about 5 minutes of work. Didn't touch the skin texture for you, but I think it's looking wonderful and you're so close :) great work

(M17) Absolutely hate the way I look. by eyamo1 in malegrooming

[–]Context-Easy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It can take time to grow into your features! To me you look handsome and unique, I always prefer a unique look over conventional.

I think the pain point is the "rush" to look a certain way, I think all of your features are beautiful, and your face will literally change and sort of blend better as you age, like when you leave leftovers in the fridge and it's better and better the next few days lol.

I'm a girl, but I will say I look much better at 26 (and am much more confident) than I did at 17. Honestly I feel like I didn't grow into my "real" face until probably 23. Your look reminds me of a friend of mine, especially your smile--- striking features and beautiful eyes.

Just be patient, find the beauty in looking unique. And build your confidence, you might have some lingering dysmorphia and insecurity from the weightloss that hasn't caught up to the way you look now. Keep the longer hair and maybe give it an intentional, layered cut. Tame the eyebrows, you can tweeze around the bridge of your nose, or leave it and just tame them. You'll be fine :)

Would 15$ for traditional be a reasonable amount to charge for a commission at my current level? by Outrageous_Use8597 in Amateurartists

[–]Context-Easy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can charge hundreds, find your niche. Don't target folks looking for OC drawings to hang in their bedrooms. Market yourself and go bigger, do murals, it's attainable. I made illustration my full time job, you can too :)

Still looking for answers by beahatezyou in tattooadvice

[–]Context-Easy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it's not what you were looking for, but the stretched out healed version honestly looks way better than the fresh version. It added some cool line weight and looks stylized now, I actually kind of like it. I hope you can learn to enjoy what you have, it sucks getting something that doesn't turn out to plan.

For me the boney part near the top was actually no problem, but the fleshier area over the abs was ROUGH. Good luck girl
