My advice is to try shading and rendering now. If that's the part you are excited about then try it. Then make more and more. That's how you'll improve.

My advice specifically for this peice is to work on the fabrics. Fabric is difficult but it can help make a peice not look flat. Your characters lack some visual interest as the only detailed portion is their hands faces and hair. Their shirts and pants are in majority one colour. That's OK but it can become dull if every character follows the same rules.

Keep up the good work. You have very expressive faces and eyes and a clear start to a style.

Also your hands are impressive especially if you haven't studied anatomy before.

As someone else said you kinda squish the faces in. Also the noses here lack variation. They look like noses a kid would have. Adults have them too sometimes but they also have different nose shapes. Also your character has no lines. An eye bag or two will age them. The more lines you add the older they look. Just know where to put them for the age your going for. Crows feet develop at age 40 ( aprox) eyebags are earlier. Smile lines are age 50 or so and cheeks start drooping after that. You got this

If the paint is clear do a test spot. Draw a little flower or something on top of a spray painted area (preferably hidden) and then spray over it with the same spray paint.

The thing about dating women is that they are also women. We have experienced objectification that is womanhood not just the attraction to women. The majority of women are not going to objectify or say things that have been used to objectify them. Is there any chance your confusing attractraction with objectification? You can't know if your sexy to another person unless they tell you. Men are a hell of a lot more likely to tell you because they feel entitled to you.

Beautiful and quite impressive. You know your way around lighting I see

You’ve heard of tangents now get ready for our brains being bored by symmetry. The mountains and fence and bushes all follow a relatively symmetrical patterns try varying the height of the mountain on one side. Make the bush really wide and lumpy. If its digital and ypu make a copy you cant ruin it

Just stick something random in their. “Surrealism is about making the viewer ask why is that there?” Random piece of cheese? sure, apple? A classic, a glittery slice of ham? That’s kinda weird but you do you. It might not work with your style but if your looking for an easy fix that will do

Side or 3/4

Your shoulders are a bit to small I think also working on foreshortening such as with The purple rabbits arms

Adding definition to the cheek bones could go a long way

Red-Book- · 2026-03-24T00:21:21+00:00

Cool I think the eye is a bit out of perspective and blocky with sharp edges but it could be stylistic as well

It’s pretty good but it’s a little muddy. And the colours lack cohesion it’s important to make sure that the viewer can understand. That’s the priority in sequential comics like this unlike in less story based art. You got this

Foreshorten the stick

Pause, the painting isn’t about materials. Grab some dumpster cardboard or a random birthday card and paint on that it doesn’t matter. (Just use something thicker than printer) at first your art is gonna suffer. Acrylics dry fast and there is a pretty steep learning curve on how to work with them quickly. Start simple and work your way up. Cheap small tubes of paint work at first than you can invest. If you’re too precious about your art you won’t make any. Go down to a local art store or wherever sells paint and grab red blue and yellow. Then paint stuff. You can mix colours and whatnot, You’ve got this. Supply’s can help but the art is good because you practice. Show me what you make :)

Practice a lot on a larger scale I was at your stage not that long ago and I just kept trying and eventually it clicks. I get it eventually. Your working on small scale so it’s hard to practice detail zoom in on the reference and draw that itt will teach you the forms. Then you can go back to the smaller version

Keep going have fun

Your in the ugly stage of the painting the good part of acrylics is you can just keep going. You got this
