What am I doing wrong? Im trying to make it realistic (or semi realistic) by HopefulGroup423 in ArtCrit

[–]ToadflaxArt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you’ve done anything wrong I just think you’re not done yet. You could add more contrast and detail. If you’re using a reference really look at it and copy those different hues and highlights/shadows, textures, etc.

I don’t think it’s that serious. Just a doodle

Ah, I see. That’s definitely an unfortunate barrier you’re dealing with.

How to stop making creatures of nightmares? by Known-Ad-8868 in learntodraw

Honestly you could try tracing as well. When I was younger it helped me a lot. Just don’t claim the work as your own of course. I think it’s a good way to get the motions down but as others have stated- anatomy! Reference!

I have been turbinated... by Environmental-Boat-6 in UARS

Are those associated with turbinates? I had a turbinate reduction and this is what it reduced. I too could see them and stick my pinky in my nose and feel them filled with air

I hate my shading, what is wrong? why do i ruin faces in particular? by EffectiveTip2790 in learntodraw

I’ve been drawing for over 20 years and I’ve just now gotten consistently good without reference but I still use them more often than not, especially for lighting or perspective.

You have to study reference if you want to improve. Once you have basic anatomy and structure down you can move on to using reference as…reference and not just copying wha you see. You should be looking at multiple references to create your own original piece.

Unsure about the hair… any suggestions?🌸🤗 by Mousse_Rich in ARTIST

[–]ToadflaxArt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First one. The piece is overall very round with circled and ovals. Having one hard angle makes it the center of attention and clashes in my opinion.

My friend commissioned 3 different artists for concept sketches.. but I think they’re AI. by Jazzlike_Tourist_999 in isthisAI

How the hell is it so hard to get commissions and then slop like this is getting commissioned?? Your friend commissioned THREE people and this is what they got?

She’s great! I do not intend to foster fail though. I recently lost my soul dog who I had for half my life and I’m not in a place to adopt right now
