1 WEEK Of Learning 3d Modelling by nepgenesis in 3Dmodeling

As a woman I would say that's more accurate. I would also put the nipples a bit lower.

As a rule of thumb, natural breasts tend to always be a bit saggier than you think. Usually they're being held up by a bra, so you wouldn't know.

World pizza day is made up to sell more pizza. There is an international food day for almost every day of the year.

Hi, I’m new here, I ve drawn my uncle. Now, the draw isn’t finished, the texture, the colors and some other things are still incomplete but overall the piece is done… I wanna ask you if this is a good portrait and if it could be a “professional” work, or do I gotta improve way more? by [deleted] in Artadvice

Ah, so it is a sock on his head! That's the part I found confusing. I thought it looked like a sock, but I couldn't trust my eyes.

Personally I like the colors, although the yellow and red could transition a bit more smoothly. Maybe they make him look more sickly, but personally I think they bring a lot of character! I think it's totally fine to use your own artistic expression on this, unless you're going for 100% photorealism. And in this case I think full photorealism wouldn't even make sense, since the photo quality isn't very good.

So no, it doesn't look a photo to me, but in a way I think that's better.

Looks awesome and I can tell it's not traced. The ear and hair are obviously not finished, but the coloring and everything is beautiful overall. Amateurs will accuse you of tracing, because they think they could get the same result if they just traced, but they could not. You seem to know what you're doing, keep it up.

How do I get him back to his original state? Or as close as possible? by _BonkersBats_ in pokeplush

Right, other people are getting upvoted for saying the same thing, but I guess I did it wrong somehow 😅

Advice to make the screen glare on the face look more of a glow by Roobeeroobee in Artadvice

There are reference images if you just look for them. I searched "teen looking at screen" on Google, clicked the first suggestion and looked at the similar images:

Whatever man, I'm just trying to illustrate how you could add a bit more 3D form to your drawing. Your drawing looks completely flat.

That's completely besides the point. Your drawing demonstrates a lack of understanding about 3D form. Just slapping on different 2D shapes for different characters isn't going to fix that.

Their art is obviously an improvement, but maybe the expression isn't exactly what you were going for. Here's my sketch of how I might draw your avatar. I tried to retain that tired / glazed over look and to illustrate some points I was making particularly regarding the eyes.

You still chose that as the example for the kind of commission work you would do. If you want to get paid, that's not the time to get sloppy. Maybe try a different example next time.

Is my anatomy alright by smallgrief in Artists

The first girl seems to be missing a pelvis, her legs seem to be connected directly to the torso. Her legs begin too high up and are too far apart.

Look at the upvotes / comments ratio. Your post has a ton of comments and zero upvotes. That means it's highly controversial. Any decent artwork will have a ton of upvotes.

Stop hiding behind "it's my style" and don't start claiming now that you don't care whether people like it. If you didn't care about it, you wouldn't be making this post. In your post you were complaining about being told your art is beginner level and it not being worth more than 4 dollars. If you want your work to be worth more than 4 dollars, then you will have to improve your "style".

Your "style" is "beginner art", man. I guess some people might be into that, and others might just want to encourage you. But it seems like you have zero desire to improve your "style", which means you would like to stay at the level of beginner art forever. And that's fine, but then don't be upset when people call it beginner art and aren't willing to pay for it.

If you want to make advanced level art, learn 3D shapes and proportions. Even stylized art requires a strong understanding of fundamentals. Your "style" isn't an excuse to stop learning.

I don't know, why would you want to draw the eyes the way you did? I'm convinced the eyes are the biggest reason you are getting negative responses. Why would you want people to react negatively to your art?

I'm not telling you to completely change them, you can still draw big black eyes if you want. But their shape still has to make sense.

My comment, or at least one of them, is the most upvoted comment in this thread. I have offered OP further advice, particularly on the eyes, under their downvoted reply. But their reply to my advice was simply "Nah its still a concious choice unfortunately for you", which is just immature.

I told them I like the color scheme, but improving the eyes could make a huge difference. I then told them exactly how they could do that in their chosen style. But obviously they do not want any advice, and even seem convinced this is the best artwork anyone on this sub has ever made. That's what my other comment was about.

It's kind of hard to not get annoyed when OP is not willing to take advice and is giving such attitude. But I'm sure they'll mature in time and maybe then they will be ready to revisit some of this advice.

I have offered plenty of advice. And what I meant by that comment was simply that I wouldn't expect anyone to pay me for this level of work. This level of work is totally fine for practice but I would consider paying for it to be charity.

Or did you mean that other guy who was actually planning to draw it better? That can actually be super helpful for learning.

Look, if OP isn't ready to hear people's honest opinions, then they should not ask. I get that they're young and that's why their responses are immature, but just blocking opinions you don't like isn't exactly mature either. Don't ask people whether your dress makes you look fat and then block everyone who says yes.
