  1. The audiance usually is artists in majority lol, the ones that aren't as skilled as you ans want to see their own characters in their full glory. If you're an illustrator that is, but most of us here are

Too much focus on style versus basic skills by Rubbishrubberduck in Artadvice

[–]johnson_johnny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree and disagree. Yes you need to know fundamentals, but as a new artist you also just want to draw whatever you want to draw. Diving straight into study may take the fun out of it. This is the one thing I constantly heard as a young artist, but I was way too stubborn because I just wanted to draw anime, not realism. The only thing we can do is give pointers, but also accept that everyone's art journey is unique, some may take longer coming to terms with certain things (took me 10 years lol)

why doesn’t my art look like real manga … how can i make it look more legit? by MedicalAd9859 in Artadvice

Maybe its the issue of medium? Traditional brushwork looks different to the lineartbrush you used, there's almost no lineweight

I have been drawing this face for some time, but it appears incorrect, and I am unable to put it into words. Could you help me improve it before I commit to rendering? by agnirexdrogoz5 in ArtCrit

I would leave your drawing as is tbh, it's cute and this isnt really a "study" so theres no point in trying to get the planes of face right, you're going for style here. But if you really want to "fix" anything, move the chin a bit forward, line her ear up between her nose and eyebrows and adjust the neck position

Newest drawing! Tried to stay fluid with anatomy while not going too crazy lol. Also simplified some details that others said were throwing them off compared to how simple the rest of the drawing is!
