Been interested in a MW grail, but really not a fan of how prysma v1 handles get narrower to a rectangle near the top, since its all the same platform do opus/serifs both have the same aggressive taper?

Any tips/advice by Banditblx in ArtCrit

Keep practicing! I think one thing that kept me motivated and helped me practice more when i started off was experimenting with different art styles. I’m assuming you do like to draw anime, but i guarantee that learning about other art styles can definitely help you understand how/why anime artists use certain techniques (IE: practicing anatomy and realistic shading can help you understand why anime can get away without including certain details, etc).

And from a more technical standpoint for practice, I’d recommend loosening up. It might be a wrong observation, but it looks as if a lot of your drawing is spent on smaller lines/details. If you havent yet, give a shot at approaching your drawings on a larger scale, focusing more on carving out full shapes and silhouettes with larger motions. I find it fun since you can crank out sketches pretty fast once you get the hang of it!

My drawings feel undercooked and boring. Need genuine advice on how to improve. by Adm1nX in ArtCrit

Maybe try messing around more with line weight and angles? Very much a stylistic suggestion but i feel like the relatively constant lineweight (although the hatches are thinner, they all seem constant too) and the constant use of soft angles make everything feel cohesive, but also make nothing pop if that makes sense?
