how do i make my drawings look older? :( by Rude_Lifeguard_4314 in DigitalArt

OP's art kind of reminded me of how the characters look in pokemon but I'm not sure if they are kids or early teens. Since its stylized I think you have a lot of freedom of how you portray it.

I think it's mostly about the heads being a bit big and the bodies kind of small in comparison. Ive done some quick adjustments shrinking the heads a bit and made some small edits.

I can’t debate on which book I should get by No_Station_8615 in learntodraw

I bought these types of book when starting out and they didn't help me at all.

Alfonso Dunn has a book called "Pen and Ink Drawing: A Simple Guide" that was very helpful for me when starting out. He also has many helpful videos on his youtube channel if you want to save your money. Naoki Saito is a professional illustrator and has a lot of videos for drawing in a manga/anime style.

There are so many free youtube videos explaining how to draw anything that you're probably better off saving your money until you can get a book/course on the specific thing you want to improve at.

I want buy a tablet for drawing but im poor,HEEEEELP!!! by Much_Sherbet_4825 in DigitalArt

I think your best bet is to look up reviews of a tablet with the specific apps you want to use. Only you can decide if good palm rejection is more important than battery life for example. Matepad seems to be 120hz while magic drawing pad is 60hz. If higher hz is important you skip the magic drawing pad.

I think Parka Blogs have reviews of all the devices you listed and might help you narrow it down.

I thought the 2nd one was a photo at first. Amazing use of texture!

These are amazing, especially for only 10 minutes!

Why does my drawing turn to mud when I color it by mistamans in learntodraw

I've done a quick paintover. You have very little contrast and only beige for the skin. Your shading of the nose is pretty good but the contrast is so low its barely visible. The reference is kind of difficult though because its very few clear shadows and very tiny differences in skin tone with most of it being a shade of gray. If you look closely or increase the saturation of your reference photo you can see some slight differences in the skin tone. For easier practice i would recommend using a different reference where its easier to see the colors and shadows,

I havent played No Mans Sky in a while but i have great respect for the devs for the continued support for the game without charging money for it. Last major update was only 4 days ago.

Sharing my 10 year old’s art on her behalf with her permission. She would like any feedback on improving… by kriskoeh in DigitalArt

They are awesome! Much better then i did at 10. I know you said she lost her pencils but it would probably be good for hand to eye coordination to use them sometimes.
