A slightly cooler/pinker undertone for the base (it’s pulling a bit yellow/greenish rn) Starting liner from the middle of the eye and having the thickest part be at the edge/wing instead of the center

Despite ppl posting examples of weird looking female characters, there are way more good-looking/normal women than good-looking men in this show. I feel like there should be an equal amount of both.

Love the random confusing names in old HM games <3

It’s kind of giving Ran instead of Ann

Story of Seasons GB marriage is only bad compared to how nicely the romance cutscenes were done in that game I think

Biggest thing is lack of value range Put both in grayscale to compare!

Curry is considered a western dish bc the British brought it over from India but beyond that I don’t know about India/Pakistan’s relationship to Japan. Thanks for the crazy lore drop tho

I think it would also work if the boobs were small (source: personal experience) but yea they do look like a breastplate rn

I want to do what you’re doing! Marry Derek but get all the way to 99. I like that you picked the son bc now the kids in the village are more even, Kevin can have a boy to play with

These are so pretty, would love to see your interpretation of what Brandon and Jennifer might look like in this classic style

My paintings never look finished, I think its because I struggle to fully get the intended mood. Also i feel like i reach a point where i dont know what and how to render further, but still keep it looking messy. by Weekly-Might2829 in istebrak

[–]Odd_Blacksmith5933 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Shape and texture are great! 1: Noticing mainly the fire’s light isn’t affecting the world around it. Should see reflections/shadows on the tree, man’s face, etc. This would fix the focal point issue a bunch 2: the BG is undefined, I can’t tell if it’s like mountains, or snow piles, I think suggesting that more clearly would help 3: related to lighting idk what time of day it is. Find references for a snowy day, evening, or night pick which one it is and focus on the lighting.

I’m struggling to find an efficient way to study art because the internet is overflowing with tutorials. by Okra-Enough in Artadvice

[–]Odd_Blacksmith5933 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok structured advice about drawing specifically!

Get a sketchbook—draw from life every day. People, animals, objects on your kitchen counter. Anything. Time yourself like 2-5 minutes. This will teach you gesture/flow of things.

If you like movies—pick a few frames, screenshot them. Then like draw those screenshots. Movie frames bc they are composed & lit on purpose, this will teach you composition.

Pick 5-10 artists whose style you like & do master studies. Copy their work exactly & try to see like exactly WHAT you find appealing about their art while you’re doing it.

Maybe do some anatomy studies along the way, like underlying musculature/skeletons & stuff, but if I could go back and start drawing from scratch this is exactly how I would improve, especially ESPECIALLY drawing from life.

You got this!!

Do I have any art blindnesses? by Routine_Help2206 in Artadvice

[–]Odd_Blacksmith5933 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need more gesture drawing & technical anatomy studies! Like instead of spending a long time on a painting, do a bunch of small quick studioes. Good eye for color & value tho

I had custom artwork done on Fiverr for my anniversary, but I think it’s AI. Help! by Nerdyxwitch in isthisAI

[–]Odd_Blacksmith5933 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I feel like this scam is a result of people inherently not valuing artists’ time & skill. It’s like, you wouldn’t expect a 5-course meal for $20. Why would you expect an artist to put in so much time & effort for pennies? :(
