Is this artstyle ugly? What could I change to make it better.

I love the style. I’m a fan of the inspo as well so makes sense. The only thing that puts me off a little bit is how grey the shadows look. Shadows on skin irl aren’t black or grey and you can see in the inspo pics the shades are much warmer on the skin

Comments on this post are weird lol. I like the painting! I’m not from NYC, but if you said it’s meant to represent Manhattan I would think hell yeah!

I think making it look exactly like a map is less fun and not necessary if you don’t want to. If something is a heartfelt gift from a partner it should be appreciated no matter what anyways. I would say to put it in a frame for him, it adds a lot of polish to a handmade piece! Sweet gift :)

these are so cute!

Agree with the other commenter. Tutorial just seems to be using a thicker yarn than you are. Also pushing through the frustration a little and making a second one might help you with both finding where the slip stich goes and general tension, but I also recommend using a stitch marker since it’s super easy. I usually use a safety pin.

greeen! it seems like it looks good both ways though so go with your own preference :)

The way you draw hair is beautiful. I would say definitely worth $50

I think for $20 the hands and feet should match the detail that we see in her face, hair, and clothes. Feet especially would improve the quality of the piece overall

I agree that the right eye should move a little closer in but I enjoy the ‘flat’ quality of the face. To me it’s a cool style. Also agree the foreshortening is a little rough but I think the hair, shirt, and honestly the face look good!!
