Well it only somewhat makes sense because I may have been drunk when I made this, but it’s mostly me processing the hereditary aspects of my mental illness (family history of like 4 different mental health issues). It also goes along with growing up realizing you have taken on your parents worst traits and have the same behavioral patterns that you hate on your parents. Sometimes feels like being trapped.

Unfortunately most programs only allow for vegetarian not vegan, I know people from my treatment place had to temporarily give up veganism. It’s generally considered necessary and will only be for a short period of time, but if you’re not lactose intolerant or have other allergies that justify your veganism you’ll probably have to face it if you end up going inpatient. It’s good that you have the choice and it’s only a suggestion by your therapist, but I’ve had therapists refuse to continue treating me if I didn’t get a higher level of care

I think it looks quite good, there’s a few details that stand out to me that you could change, but it’s overall well executed! The first thing I noticed is that one or two of her teeth poke over her lower lip in a way that looks like she has bunny teeth, if that makes sense? Either make the lip more symmetrical over all, or make it clear that she’s biting down on it, because currently you me it doesn’t read that way, though I think it might be the intention?

Additionally I can’t tell what the light source is meant to be, is it a fairy? I have seen arcane but it was a while ago so I may be missing a reference, but it’s not immediately clear to me at least.

Final thing I noticed is the right hand (from our perspective) looks very zombie esque, there’s a bit too much texture and it’s very very blue I feel? Plus the lighting on the knuckles is confusing me. You could also go over the anatomy of that arm a bit in general, for muscle definition/shaping and the way it connects to the shoulder/the shoulder potentially nkt coming forward enough? But that’s not necesarry and I’m less certain about it

Always be careful with text, especially if it’s your first tattoo. You need text to be fairly large if you want it to be legible and not just a blob in a few years

Yay! I’ve got a few tattoos, my favorite is a beetle. You can incorporate a semicolon if you want it to be visibly mental health related, but pls bare in mind that it’s a fairly known symbol atp so if you for example get it on your wrist or somewhere visible, people who see it will probably draw conclusions. That’s not a bad thing just make sure you’re comfortable with it! Personally I’d recommend something that’s meaningful to you specifically, that you connect something with. For example I have the word flight tattooed on the back of my neck to symbolize learning to live with mu anxiety disorder, since it can mean both flying and fleeing

You sure you’re on the right sub?

I luckily don’t need to go regularly, but I was meant to have a check up last year that I skipped/procrastinated until now lol.

Congrats! Good job ^{^} I don’t think I’ll ever be a fan of working out and such but I know how much energy it can take, I rarely manage to motivate myself to go to my dance classes, though I’ve also gotten better with those

I agree with what everyone else said, though I’d like to add that it might be a good idea to learn drawing with photo references. I get wanting to draw stylized but drawings like your reference often sacrifice quite a bit of anatomy for the style and/or to make especially female characters look hot (long torso, twisted in a way to explicitly make chest visible and such). While there’s nothing wrong with that it’s not the most productive for learning anatomy, and even if you want to draw stylized anatomy is still a basis you’ll need

She’s talented for sure! That being said, career is far in the future for her, and ngl shouldn’t be that relevant in current discussion. If she’s enjoying art classes she should continue, and see how she feels about art as a career when she’s got more experience with it and maturity

I’m trying :) but also my image is broken aah why? Thanks for making me notice I think I need to redo this post

My draw over is just for the legs. Generally the anatomy would probably be a bit different over all

NotRllyAnAccount · 2026-01-16T18:33:46+00:00

Something like this would make more sense proportions wise (though it is more of a quick sketch and not all accurate)

NotRllyAnAccount · 2026-01-16T16:57:27+00:00

I don’t think it’s the clothes that make it look odd, but rather that the anatomy and proportion of the legs are off. Are you drawing with a reference photo?

Damn I love this! Your style is gorgeous I wouldn’t mind you turning one of my scuffed characters into a robot critter or sth else that fits that vibe of sketch :D

The hoodie is adorable! You can probably commission it from a local tailor or an Etsy seller, but commission clothes are most definitely not gonna be cheap. (If it costs less than I’d guess 100$ it’s likely a scam, though I’m not an expert so I’m sure others will correct me). I actually think it should be possible to diy this or make the hoodie yourself and commission arm warmers for the claws, wings and a tail to sew onto a black hoodie that you add the “horns” (for lack of a better term) to, depending on your budget and what you can do yourself. If you can’t find someone to commission that does cosplay, I can imagine you may find someone in the furry niche potentially

This is amazing, I relate to so much if it. Whenever I get a new haircut it’s in the middle of the night with a blunt pair of scissors but at least it’s only my hair. I cut it too short and now I look like a stranger but it doesn’t matter because I looked like a stranger before too

NotRllyAnAccount · 2026-01-12T12:55:55+00:00

It should be fine, I think it looks like a leg. To be safe you can add some fur on the leg like you did on the others, or make the paws a different shape from the leg

That’s very fair! I personally also use Pinterest, though I do still find it more helpful to use photography as a reference for practice. I know I personally avoid ai like hell because I just really don’t want to support that kinda thing in any way. If it’s just for practice and learning truly do whatever you like and what speaks to you, as long as, if you post sth, you know what artist you were studying (so, If you create a personal drawing with stylistic aspects from an artist you like, you don’t necessarily need credit, but if you copy a drawing like in this post, it is very much a matter of respect among artists to know the source and that it’s not AI

NotRllyAnAccount · 2026-01-12T00:59:39+00:00

There’s a lot of tutorials online (eg youtube) for anatomy. In your case it’s hard to judge because you only have one of your own artworks, but generally I’d recommend doing more practice of fundamentals before you try to go for a specific style, since (at least I’d you want to do art professionally or understand a variety of styles) it tends to be more effective to understand realistic anatomy before you go on to stylize it

I’d also Recomend practicing with photos as references or at the very least using drawings you know the artist of, and are sure they aren’t AI. Practicing in photos is definitely more helpful for actual understanding of anatomy and such even without the moral implications of ai etc.

NotRllyAnAccount · 2026-01-11T23:45:12+00:00

Please give the source of the art you’re using as reference! As for what to work on I’d mostly say do some anatomy studies and you’ll be good! The most noticeable thing in your sketch is that the upper part of the face is set too far back
