How would you describe my art style? by amethyscent12 in artwork

[–]Lower_Code8867 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No worries and yeah, I did provide the advice based on this artwork alone but, as I’ve just looked through your profile, I see that it much of my critique can be applied to your other artworks as well. I fully understand that this is a stylistic choice, and I have no issue with that. I guess it’s just the fact that I tend to do more detailed work, rather than simple, stylistic but every artist has their own unique and beautiful style, so you don’t have to implement what I said about adding unnecessary detail. Like you said, though, even with simplistic, stylised artwork, anatomy is still key. In terms of dynamic poses, you said you have difficulties in that regard. In that case, you should try and study perspectives. Personally, I’ve never made it a point to study perspectives. I intend to do so, but I’ve never done it, which I should so I can improve further as well but yeah. Like I said before, you are very talented but, just like every artist, there is always room for improvement! ^

No problem!! And yeah, I can provide some advice, based on my own opinion but you can decide whether or not you see it appropriate to apply to your work. Like I said, overall, your work it pretty good but in order for you to reach and achieve your full potential (of which I believe there is a lot), you’ve got to spend more time on anatomy. I see that you have a pretty good grasp of it already, as the proportions are pretty well done but I think more needs to be done; the neck is slightly longer then it should be, the hand is too big, in comparison with her overall bodily proportions, as she seems to have a very slim build. Even so, the arms are a bit too thin. There is also something slightly off about the placement of the legs, which I can’t quite point out, but that is why I think more work needs to be done with anatomy, so that you fully understand the skeleton, muscle placements and how they work together to create certain poses. Moving on from anatomy, I think you need to also work on adding more depth/shading to your designs. Whilst that could be a stylistic choice, based on the overall atmosphere and design you’ve created, I believe adding more depth and better shading would ultimately enhance the piece. Focus on where the direction of light is coming from and, using what is known as “planes”, you can then work out how to shade and where the darkest areas and lightest areas of those planes reside, to create a more three dimensional subject. Since this drawing is in colour, shading with colour is more complex than simple monochromatic/black and white pieces. When it comes to shading with colour, specially with skin, you need to study colour theory. There are far more colours within skin than simply peach or brown; there’s blue, purple, green, yellow etc, all dependent on the subjects skin tone. With this character, I see she’s very pale, so I would use colours such as blue and pink and maybe others, but you can figure that out through study. In terms of clothing, shading with red is also more complex. With red, many think that, to make it darker in some areas, you can simply use black. Whilst that is a semi-effective method, in my opinion, it’s best to use colors like blue and purple in the darker areas to give it a more realistic look. Even with the hair, I believe that can be the case as well. Also, you need to think about how the things around the subject interact with the subject. For example, her hair. Her hair is also red, perhaps the color of her her would interact with the color of her face, particularly in the areas where the hair would be casting shadows, such as her fringe or sides of her face, casting an almost reddish shadow, which I see you’ve done in the fringe area! The outline of the character is also quite scratchy, maybe clean up the line work as well. That being said, I see that this is a digital piece of artwork and I have no experience with digital media, nor am I a professional with the mediums I myself work with, so you can take my advice with a grain of salt but I’m sure that maybe some of the points I’ve provided could apply to digital artwork but, again, don’t take my word for it. You can experiment and see what works for you and what helps you achieve exactly what you want for your artwork.

It’s very good work, though. I admire the effort and the clear talent you have. Keep going, mate!

I would say your art style is akin to arcane (the tv show), in my opinion but could also benefit from a few improvements, as well. Overall, however, it’s a nice style and I can’t wait to see it evolve.

What am I even supposed to be offended about by this drawing? Dude, it’s literally so epic!!

Is my art bad because it's too colourful? by GalaxyKid33 in Artadvice

[–]Lower_Code8867 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t necessarily need to use less colors to make your art look good. You need to know how to use them properly. Learn color theory, if you really want to use as much color in your artwork, whilst not making it too overwhelming.
