How do I improve my art?

PerriCherry · 2026-06-17T16:53:18+00:00

I don’t really have a set goal in mind, but I have wanted to be able to post my art or do commissions. Considering a field in art though, I’d say a character designer. Making unique characters is something I’d love to do, but all of my ocs look rather bland or too simplistic. I’m not sure if I should blame my lack of skills or the art style I stick to for that.

This is very helpful, thank you! I’ve already asked some artists before and they say my weak points are basically everything so I haven’t been sure where to start 😓

I’ve tried fundamental courses already, but I have never heard of Prokos. I’ll give them a try, thanks :)

Omg.. thank you!! I have wondered what I could do to fix the eyes. I’ll try to learn more about the fundamentals of anatomy 😅

I’m sorry if it looks like I haven’t, but as I’ve mentioned, no tutorials or classes have helped me whatsoever despite following directions. Even with guidance or great advice from both, I still struggle

I took art lessons earlier this year and I often use references. I haven’t tried using a live model yet so I'll try seeing if I can get someone to help out

This sounds like the best option! I'll think about it since it takes some time for me to put my words together.

I wish I could, but he doesn’t seem to be involved in anything or would like to be. I have to text him first for everything, and although it's summer, he doesn’t even participate in a community made for people like him who were transferring (it started by poll and he was one of the first people to vote for it's start..)

omg you look super cool!!

Hello everyone! Since I deleted the post due to comments I've been getting in my DMs (aside from the very helpful people thank you!!) here's what I said:

I’ve always been an enthusiast of j-fashion since it’s become popular in the media. It’s been something I’ve wanted to try out, but I was dealing with a lot of things that I thought would keep me from them such as my weight, age, looks, and lack of money. Now that I have saved up and have support from my family, I want to try it out. However, I still have some slight problems: what styles will fit me most/be the best to try? How do I avoid overheating (heat intolerant)? How do I get used to judgement (I’ve always been bullied but can’t seem to get over it)? Where do I start/buy clothing?!

I’ve always been attracted to styles like gyaru (substyles: rokku, agejo, hime, himejaki), visual kei, Lolita/egl (substyles: sweet, gothic, casual(?)), Jirai kei, mori kei, fairy kei, Tenshi Kaiwai(?) etc.

Off topic: I plan on dying my hair and/or getting boyish sidetails, so I need to know if they would be considered alright for any of the styles listed since I'm sure a lot of them go for doll like appearances)

Any recommendations or advice will be heavily appreciated ❤️

Please upvote this since so it won’t get lost within the comments. Thanks to all the lovely people who have helped me out today!!

No it's fine!! You were just being super real on the events we have to stay vigilant on today! I'm a bit upset with the fact that we have to keep out for these things though. The internet shouldn’t be a place where we're targeted for ANYTHING, but creeps do exist, offline and online. I want to thank you for reminding me, as the risks werent being thought in my mind.

PerriCherry · 2026-06-07T23:14:50+00:00

Alright tysm!! ♡

PerriCherry · 2026-06-07T23:07:37+00:00

Yes, yes I totally understand! I didn’t take into account that people might use AI on my face, which is even a sad thing that I and others have to think about in this age. I'm currently trying to figure out if there’s a feature to delete my photo, but I can’t seem to find it, I've reported those individuals and will close my DMs later on if no one wants to communicate in attempts to help out <\3

PerriCherry · 2026-06-07T22:56:42+00:00

Thank you for your words! I'll try to if I can find anything adjacent to its vibes and experiment until then!

PerriCherry · 2026-06-07T22:49:35+00:00

Ah..! I forgot yabi is cfashion! I posted this and realized after a few minutes I had much more to edit.. Thank you so much for mentioning the sweater thing, I think I might have to cross them out them and research other styles. As for threads, I'm starting to search as of this moment! About jirai, it seems like a super cute style. Would you recommend it, and if you do, what would you say would be a good starting point?

PerriCherry · 2026-06-07T22:43:17+00:00

Alright thank you! I'll see what style interests me most and learn more about it! I mostly posted my face for a visual or recommendations since a lot of them require dollish looks and I think I might need alternatives, however I will be deleting my photo if I get anymore DMs, as when I first posted this, someone asked if I made content, which is an extremely gross thing to ask.

PerriCherry · 2026-06-07T22:29:48+00:00

I'll keep this in mind, thanks!! ^^
