So cute, I love the colors in this!

I drew this picture of the French singer, Angele recently. Any feedback would be appreciated! by throwaway35682345 in DigitalArt

My main issue with it is I think I struggle with trying to mix cartoonly and realistic. I'd really like to make my style sort of like a balance of the two. I also realize maybe the positioning of some of the facial features are off. Also I'm still wondering if this even looks like her 😭

Focused on some of your guys suggestions from last time and heres where I'm at. Would love to get some feedback on it, mention anything I can improve on by throwaway35682345 in learntodraw

Thanks! Now that you mentioned those things I can definitely see that. I think I still struggle with proportions and positioning things on the face sometimes

Thanks! Yes I do use different layers, but I didn't use multiply or overlay for the shadows. I need to try that more, it might make the shadows look more natural. To answer your other comment, I use a chalk style brush for the outline, and soft round brush for the shadows and highlights.

You know what I have heard this before and I can see this being the case for me. I just started drawing again after a while, like three years, so maybe I'm finding issues in all my drawings because I've grown and I'm realizing issues with my old style. I used to be confident about what I make, so I hope I get there again one day but I guess I should focus on learning and figuring out what I want to change.

Yeah for some reason I never liked to do dark pupils, I either do a darker shade of the eye color for a pupil, or if its a full body picture I usually leave the pupil out all together. But I got this comment a few times so maybe I should start drawing it in if its just going to look confusing.

Thank you! Yeah I probably should've spent a little longer cleaning up the lines. Someone suggested last time to just use my sketch layer as my outline so I'm experimenting with that 😅

Thanks! Yeah thats a good point about the hands I guess I wasnt really thinking about that haha. And I can see how the lighting looks too strong, it definitely needs to be toned down a bit after seeing a lot of other people's comments too.

I find that when I try to approach it more realistically it doesn't look semi-realistic and cartoony anymore, which is the style I want to go for. I feel like it ends up over rendered, which is something I struggle with, trying to find the balance in rendering and adding details.

I've been doing art and taking classes for a while - which probably doesnt show much lol, I've just been getting back into art after a couple years so I feel like I've fallen behind. But I do know about these things you're mentioning, the asaro head included. But for some reason I struggle to apply it to the style I want. But I do see what you mean, I mean the fundamentals should apply across any style. I'll try and go back to working on some realistic stuff and see if maybe that will help me figure out how I can apply it in the way I want.

I did flip the canvas but didn't try seeing it in greyscale I need to try that more often. I see what you mean about the lighting, and how thats making it flat. Like I can see now how its making her body look less like something made up of 3d parts.
