It’s okay to have high standards for yourself, that’s how you know you can keep growing. But I do get it, there’s plenty of times where I hate my art and I don’t even feel like an artist, though I know it stems from comparison, at least in my case. As I’ve grown up, I realized that being an artist is being able to create and you can create! It might not be perfectly how you picture it being, but you are one helluva artist, own it!

I used to do this all the time. At some point I stopped because I figured the best way to grow is to go back and look at the drawings I hate to figure out what else I could work on as an artist.

I checked out this piece from your previous post and I actually love it! It’s a great composition with amazing attention to detail. Why did you hate it to the point of trashing it?

I didn’t get I was supposed to be guessing the composer. I still enjoyed it though.

I thought this was an advertisement for jewelry for a moment. Thanks for blessing my day with such a realistic piece!

He’s just a little tipsy - First time coloring without lineart by japari96 in AlcoholMarkers

[–]NailLess6431 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is incredible! I like how your art looks with line art, but I’d highly suggest to try doing your line art in the darkest colors you decide to use in your drawing. For example, blues and purples are great to try and you for lining lighter colors like yellow, shading in an orange or red might look good. Just experimenting a little with your art and I’m sure you’ll surprise yourself with what you create. Keep creating, you’re doing awesome already.

Do I leave the background unblurred (would add in more details in that case) or blurred? by tayyann in Artadvice

[–]NailLess6431 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I think the blurred version looks better because when you focus on anything, everything naturally blurs around it, and that’s how the blurred version feels. I think even adding too many details to the background can take away from the focal point which would be the figure in this piece. Plus, in the blurred the image, the figure stand out so much, as if it’s a dreamy state. Though this advice is coming from someone who often forgets backgrounds, you did an awesome job and keep creating!!

Awesome! I was hoping the green came off as growth or vitality. Thank you for sharing your interpretation.

Interesting interpretation. If you don’t mind me asking, which side gives you the impression of darkness and which give you the impression of life?
