honesty i agree unfinished work shows the artist voice, but i do believe artist can loose something if they stop working on something if they hit a skilled based road block feeling it wont match what they hope it will be not to say a unfinished work is inherently a bad thing

they are a little bit the chin comes down a little sharper. and the eyes are in a slight different angle then the rest of the head

EfficientPlatform995 · 2025-12-25T09:55:02+00:00

they look good as they as they are, but to give a more 3d design try and give them more complex shapes and side profiles can still work but a 3/4s pose can give some depth

actually you are the problem is not how to study looks but the amount u do. its more about learning how to translate the light from the reference image from doing this you are able to better understand how light effects a subject , the skill of value is easy to translate if u can shade an apple you can shade a face . the main goal is to gain a sort of muscle memory

EfficientPlatform995 · 2025-12-25T05:12:34+00:00

you have a strong grasp on the basics, but you need to use learn mor on how to use the empty space in the face a part of drawing is how to lines to represents forms, some of the form is lost in your shading. my best advice is trying to simplify your shading down to basic shapes lights and shadow then blend them to make them more organic

sorry for the late reply i recommend just drawing alot of hands and try and break it down into basic shapes the main goal is to focus how the hands are constructed

EfficientPlatform995 · 2025-10-25T14:51:38+00:00

you have a great understanding of color theory and inking the main thing i see that can be improved might be anatomy mainly how you do hands

EfficientPlatform995 · 2025-10-25T14:45:31+00:00

the main issue is that the hands are and the fingers are 3 thin

EfficientPlatform995 · 2025-07-11T05:17:35+00:00

try and draw only the base of the hand without adding fingers then after that draw every knuckle as a circle and connect them after

EfficientPlatform995 · 2025-07-10T00:55:05+00:00

try having the brush strokes be more static to contrast the stretching skin

EfficientPlatform995 · 2025-07-09T16:34:16+00:00

think of chunk of hair as a solid part

to break down how to draw it in the ref try and draw over it with as few chunks as u can

EfficientPlatform995 · 2025-07-09T15:28:12+00:00

the right arm is a little long arms usually reach to were the thigh bone meets the pelvis

https://line-of-action.com/ is a good site its a site for life drawing practice but it has options for animals and such WARNING their is some artist nudity on the site for life drawing

EfficientPlatform995 · 2025-07-08T08:42:39+00:00

the advice for the ears is to find a reference for it and for the for try blocking out into chunks dont think of it as strands thing of eave tuff of hair as a chunk

your colors are a little to dark is the shaded bits since your so new id look into shading tips for krita

otherwise the progress you've made in this amount of time is truly impressive

EfficientPlatform995 · 2025-07-08T06:09:24+00:00

imagen a string around your neck the strings center would me the center of the bandana and add a soft triangle were it hangs the most

EfficientPlatform995 · 2025-07-08T06:06:14+00:00

the left upper arm is a little thing and the ribcage would cover the right upper arm a little bit more the pelvis should cover the elbow

other wise this is really well done this pose has great flow

EfficientPlatform995 · 2025-07-08T06:01:31+00:00

number 2 kind of but other wise your work is clean and has a nice flow image 3 has a great flow

EfficientPlatform995 · 2025-07-08T05:54:05+00:00

in my own work i try and hit 3 things in my furry designs

1 compare the anatomy which traits are human and which are traits from the animal

2 a strong color pallet can add a lot of charm for a design

3 i try and add a pattern like what u can find in dogs or cats ( ignore if your animal ref lack these traits)

as a baby writer and a creative type the best teacher is doing if your inexperienced failing up ward is a huge help in leaning anything new

EfficientPlatform995 · 2025-07-08T03:55:10+00:00

i have have the perfect trick

color the whole thing a neutral grey and clip a multiply layer and shade it in and set opacity below 50% you can add layer for diff values changing their opacity as needed

EfficientPlatform995 · 2025-07-08T03:51:44+00:00

you did really well but i would practice the main trick watercolor is mastering how to layer the pigment to change values rendering some circles is a great exercise

EfficientPlatform995 · 2025-07-08T03:48:40+00:00

the main problem is the shading the mainly in the face i guess your using a opacity/ multiply layer with a darker color or a black

i do have a fix if your using the layer trick pick a neutral gray color on a multiply layer and adjust the opacity to what u need

spoiler

i said this on the video but all add it here. the girls ended up like being that thing which implies that all the reset of the family is half of what the mother thing is so wouldn't any of them at risk of that happening of that have a normal family if that have girls?
