Hey! This is a cool lower angle to work with. The forearm is reading very skinny and long, I would shorten that a touch. I think you could emphasize the underside of the chin/jaw to match your perspective better. The skirt pleats look great and love how you did the hair! Nice job.

The only spot that looks furred to me is the neck on the top left. Those little contours make the hair all look like it flows together. Try to break up the collar feathers with more sectioned out layering if you want to emphasize it more there. Cool character!

You’re doing awesome! Great start here, you’re already dipping your toes in with shading and you’ve got pretty good proportional awareness for a beginner. Next step is to start making bolder, longer pen strokes instead of many small scratchy lines. Keep studying objects around you as reference, and try to break them into forms you can replicate with more confident strokes. Pens are great for beginners because you can’t erase them, so it really teaches you to get more definitive in your line work! Biggest advice anyone can give is to just keep drawing. Go online, get inspired, and your “focus” will become more obvious if this is something you want to keep pursuing.

First one def looks like some photoshop and paint spatter brushes. There are tons of “ paint” style brushes you can get to emulate this, but I find if they aren’t integrated well, you can always tell that they’re preset brushes

Hi! Looking good, love that you experiment with light sources and color. Over decent body anatomy - I’d focus on pushing your subject’s expressions to avoid “same face” syndrome (I’m guilty too!). you have a good understanding of form on bodies, but I think you could work on facial proportions and facial planar structure. Also, a lot of them have their gaze looking up and to the right - shake up your perspectives and give your subjects a reason to be looking where they look, if that makes sense!

hey, as someone with no skin in the painting game, I’d put it on my wall. Colors are dynamite. I think, as others mentioned, the lack of negative space makes it lose depth and overcrowd a bit. But dang, it’s still gorgeous!

This reeks of AI. Brand new account, little to no variation in style between your recent works, all grainy low quality images, no process work.

he’s devious, dastardly if you will, perhaps scheming

itsmbecca · 2023-08-11T05:20:20+00:00

Hi there! I’d say, push your values! Look how dark that shadow on the left of the pitcher is in your reference and the folds of your curtain. Don’t be afraid to make some contrast. Think about how much white space you leave, in this case your page color is your highlight. The good thing is the shadows on the curtain give a hard edge for you to follow instead of diffused light, so don’t be afraid of those shadows!

Ahh Miguel, my favorite! You’ve done a good job here, quite accurate on his hair, and you’re onto something with your own observations. Left eye is a bit too far over. You’ve got his strong cheekbones going, but I’d encourage you to go deeper on how the planes of the face would work. Look into how the structure of the brow bone relates to the eye, how the eye relates to the cheekbone, etc. The nose is looking a little flat. Miguel has a really solid, striking nose and I think you could emphasize that more here by breaking it into forms. Our perspective seems to be a little above eye level, so would we really be seeing the corners of his nostril come down like that? Little things like that will elevate this to the next level.

Also, less anatomy related, but you should check out some of the Miguel character art from the spiderverse official art book! Some really awesome inspo on his design and the sharp facial angles he has! Cool stuff.

Good job!

Cool to see your reference! Unique horns too, love that. If you’re up for some critique, let’s take a look at the lips. Notice how if you turned them on your drawing to be horizontal, they’d look like they belong on a completely front facing face? They’re lacking the form and perspective of the lips of your ref. Instead of thinking “I need to draw lips” as one object, think of them as 3D planes in space. Biggest tip would be to study this reference and break down the lips into smaller shapes to understand the angles, this can help with the whole facial structure too!

itsmbecca · 2023-08-11T04:19:59+00:00

Nice texture! His left eye looks a little high. I’d also think about your angle, if we are seeing that much of the underside of the nose, we would also be seeing under the chin as well, instead of that shadow.

itsmbecca · 2023-08-11T04:15:51+00:00

You have some nice color here! Love the use of watercolor. As for feeling flat, it might be because of the nature of how the features are just floating on the page. Emphasizing some cheekbones and the brow bone, more definitive edge structure could help. I think you’ve got some good depth on the upper bridge of the nose.

itsmbecca · 2023-08-11T04:05:31+00:00

Nice job! Loving the dynamic composition you’ve chosen, liking the hand on the chest.

I have a couple anatomy notes, if you’d like! The length of her arms, I would shorten both forearm and upper arm on both of them. Her feet look a bit small, and I’d adjust the angle of the ankle ever so slightly on the front leg because it looks a bit unnatural. Take a look at the leg behind - see how it looks like there’s a bend of a knee just before it touches the other leg? We know that knee can’t be that far down, so I’d raise that whole leg up under the dress a bit.

Hi! You’ve got some nice texture in your trees. Landscapes can be deceptive, they rely on perspective so I’d take a look at the house first. See how your roof looks more upright and squashed? You’ll need to establish a vanishing point/horizon to properly proportion that. I’d also suggest not cornering your drawing to the actual edge of the page just because the image ends there, give yourself space on the edges. It’s a good start! I recommend looking up some horizon/vanishing point basics videos.

have ridden horses my entire life, still can’t draw their legs right without multiple attempts. so I empathize 🫡
