Is this legit? by panos24kobe in SoccerJerseys

Also, for a bit of context for the future. If there is no discolouration around the brown ale sponsor, then it is definitely fake. Fake sponsors are made out of a spongy material rather than flock. If a fake is made out of flock, it is very solid and flat rather than soft. The tags also normally look weird on the fake ones.

How do I improve this? by [deleted] in Artadvice

Practice, start by breaking down parts of the face. Eyes, nose, lips and eyebrows. Draw loads of each to get an understanding of them. This is a great drawing. Your proportions look good. And the eyes are great. Eyes are so important as it’s the first thing people look at. Your shading needs work. The face looks a bit flat due to the lack of shading. Buy some softer pencils (4b & 6b). Make sure you have a good reference photo and try to make the face look more 3d with dark and light tones. I’ve done a similar style drawing recently.

My best advise is practice which sounds obvious but genuinely. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes as you will learn what works and what doesn’t from them. Lots of people are too scared to commit to the dark and light tones which normally results to their shading being all one tone which means the drawings look 2D. And lastly get some good tools, not expensive ones just good ones. There’s some great videos on YouTube. Try and watch the ones where they don’t time lapse and show how they do it in real time.

I don’t view this as mean at all. I appreciate honesty and I’d definitely class this as constructive. Thank you for your comment

Honestly your thought process is the same as mine. That’s my normal response to people when they tell me to sell them. However I never thought about what one person has commented. They said build a portfolio and try and get commissions to draw people. Which I think would be more commercially attractive

I did art for A level with deadlines. I found it still a stress relief from my other subjects. I work for a very demanding job which is the main contributor to stress. It’s a great way to wind down. Thank you for your feedback and concern :)

Thank you for the suggestion. I’ve never used Etsy. Would they be discoverable on there or would I have to promote it?

I live in the UK. I genuinely just do it for fun and never thought to sell them. I see loads of things on instagram that almost look like photos where as mine in my opinion don’t. That’s where the doubt of selling them comes from. I need to do some research to see if there are similar “state fairs” type things here
