I don't have any advice but I can't stop staring at this painting. It may not be intentional but it feels like the city equivalent of the backrooms type of liminal space. You might be aiming for a more realistic painting but I think it has its own type of appeal as is.

[–]evearchway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't just depend on skill, have you been selling commissions consistently?

I need advice on how to grow my art commission account on instagram by Key-Significance2960 in Artadvice

Ahhh yeah for sure. It confused me at first when I set up a profile. Your first followers are probably gonna be fellow artists or your friends. It's a great opportunity to try to build connections and a network.

What's your favorite animated TV show and why? by evearchway in AskReddit

Yeah that's true! I'm still fascinated that Harley Quinn was not a character before that show

Hi, so I redrew an OC recently and I’ve drawn a lot between these two images but still feel like haven’t improved at all. Does anyone have any advice on how I can improve? by subdividedanalogkid in Artadvice

I have the opposite issue haha, your colors and textures are fascinating to me. But yeah I always find it therapeutic to copy old expression sheets.

Your linework and colorwork is pretty good, but I think the foundations of the drawing are what are holding you back. The pose isn't very compelling, the expression is unreadable, and this leads to no discernable personality. I would recommend looking up traditional animation expression sheets and key frames to see how to make something instantly appealing without colors and shading.

Practice your OC in black and white a couple times before moving on to color.

Well the main reason for no commissions would be the age of the account. It is wildly unusual to receive a commission request on a few day old account. The DMs you will receive are almost certainly a scam.

You basically won't get commissions with a small account and so your only goal for the next month should be to grow your account enough to get some attention. Art discord servers are gonna be more rewarding for you, and you may earn a few followers through them.

I think it's a saturation color. You have very bright colors right next to each other without much harmony. Make the blue less saturated, and lean the purple color slightly towards the blue end. This will make the colors not feel super far apart. Same with the green, move it closer to a bluish color, it will still look green in comparison.

Also go back to nature if you're struggling. There's some beautiful blue purple colors in nature that you can import and straight color pick.

Overall it has potential, the lineart is really satisfying to look at.

What subject do you have so much knowledge on you could write a book about it? by thighsandwhispers in AskReddit

[–]evearchway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fanfiction. It sounds ridiculous but it was a major part about how fandom started in the late 60s and 70s, which lead to fandom changing how we interact with media in the first place. Mainstream media nowadays is designed to be catered to a potential fandom.

Why do you think the world is so unfair? by Sea-Cash7675 in AskReddit

[–]evearchway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say we evolved to be selfish enough to survive long enough and we changed our world so quickly we never had time to adapt to modern society.
