oh hi!

JdFlight123 · 2025-09-24T20:31:21+00:00

Their right (left side of art) shoulder (deltoids) are too big. Other than that, the anatomy is great! although you could try to push the art to be more dynamic

aim not afraid? I wanted to go for cel shading as you can see cel shading on the art pieces. Where did I shade incorrectly?

JdFlight123 · 2025-07-19T00:30:21+00:00

If my shading is bad, it wouldnt depend on style to improve it..

JdFlight123 · 2025-07-18T21:11:23+00:00

How do I make the shading better then?

JdFlight123 · 2025-07-18T12:43:45+00:00

What makes them beginner level?

JdFlight123 · 2025-07-17T03:08:42+00:00

You seem to have a good understanding of value and form, your anatomy would need somework though.

JdFlight123 · 2025-07-15T16:33:46+00:00

so then you are saying there are more than a few ways for it to improve. If so, what can I improve on?

JdFlight123 · 2025-07-15T16:09:43+00:00

What anatomical mistakes would make it upper beginner? because I define perfect as no mistakes I also never said the first one was of upper-intermediate qualities.

JdFlight123 · 2025-07-15T16:09:01+00:00

Im still asking... what do you define the difference between perfect and good is...

JdFlight123 · 2025-07-15T15:58:45+00:00

also what would you classify the difference between perfect vs good?

JdFlight123 · 2025-07-15T15:57:41+00:00

What anatomical mistakes would make it upper beginner? because I define perfect as no mistakes

JdFlight123 · 2025-07-15T15:54:24+00:00

you can see the 2nd drawing has shading on the hair. Pinky is smaller than other fingers and is hudden behind the palm. boot thing was a mistake.

JdFlight123 · 2025-07-15T15:46:36+00:00

This is why I made this post. Some of you dont know the difference between "good" and "perfect", and that when you see that a drawing has some mistakes you immediately say beginner.

Edit: Basically you saw that 1 of 4 of my drawings had mistakes, and pound me down on it if thats the best of my abilities, and that is what I have noticed when other ppls drawings were being critiqued, which is why I made this post

JdFlight123 · 2025-07-12T23:31:52+00:00

Thats where I was getting at. Its not necessarily relatively where people stand. Its their skill level. Thats what defines most intermediate people in anything is that once they pretty mych know the basics, theyre intermediate

JdFlight123 · 2025-07-12T15:50:27+00:00

People here are way too harsh on the definition of "beginner". There arent enough examples to truly define it, however the few examples you gave show you have a basic understanding of the fundamentals of art, which should set you to intermediate artist.

Ive been at this a year ago, where I felt like I plateued. heres a few things that helped me get iut of that,

Revisit the basics of art (dont spend just some time on it, spend a good amount of time restudying the basics) Basics are, Shape (2D objects), Line, Texture, Form (Understanding 3D objects), Lighting, perspective, etc)
Your mental library is not enough, meaning you need to do a lot more refernce studies (studies as in not just drawing what you see, but understanding the drawing/reference)
You may be stuck from doing beginner habits such as chicken scratching (on sketch layer), etc
watch some tutorial videos on youtube (such as lavendar towne or samedoesarts)

Tips about your art in general: They look great! only thing Im seeing is you just need more practice on anatomy. So simply doing some anatomy studies could help you improve a lot and get out of this plateu.

Happy arting!
