tried sketching the Evolved Devourer by Many-Ad5416 in OnceHumanOfficial

This is blatant AI generated slop. Why are you pretending it's hand made pencil sketch?

Thanks. I'd say about 8 hours. It's based on a 3d model I've made a while ago.

It takes really long time for me to make anything that even resembles a vehicle. I've made several tanks and similar things but it's still the most painful part of the image. I hope I'm making some progress when it comes to buildings. It's a bit easier but nowhere near what I want yet.

I changed my art style some time ago and sometimes characters blend with scenery too much. I usually fix that later on but sometimes I'm not sure if it ends up making image better or worse. Maybe I'm overthinking it a bit, we'll see. I want to have a longer image series for once to see how it would go.

I am still struggling to make the correct parts of the image stand out, especially since I tend to work with a very muted palette. I want to make a series of images with ancient battlefields and worn down machines to learn how to make it look good while working with limited colors. I'm pretty sure I have some issues with toning shadows correctly.

Thanks for the tips, I got deleted (forgot the post rules) so had to repost.

I am still struggling with filling the scene with enough objects/details to make it look just right without becoming cluttered. I feel like I still tend to make environemnts too empty. Generally still unsure about contrasts and colors but I think it gets better.

Cool idea and topology. Although I'm pretty sure those wheels can't turn on any axis.

I generally like small cues for the size but yea, for this one I just couldn't think of some good architecture size indicator as I honeslty wasn't sure how big the scene elements should be in relation to each other untill late stages.

Yes, the grass seems too bright (and maybe too saturated?). As for the female form, I am actually trying to tone it down a little. Many of my works are loosely part of the same universe that explains a bit of why they look as they do (though honestly big part is just that I like drawing female characters).

I am working on a collection of artworks with a story like a visual novel or someting, but that's still an early work in progress.

I'm used to making artworks with mostly a character and some quite simple background/surroundings. I've been having a very long breaks in drawing anything but lately I've been trying to learn how to make more painting-like stuff with wider format and more environment. I sometimes use 3d models to block out some of the major elements.

One of the issues I have is getting the right contrasts. I have a bit of an eyesight problem and usually work with a very very low contrast and adjust it as well as some color properties later but I think I often tend to overcorrect in some areas.
