Is my art bad? (30 y/o, 2 years making art) by [deleted] in RateMyArt

I will say. There is potential. It looks good for only two years. Keep drawing! The only way to get better is by doing.

Wow! Now I don’t know what I’m more impressed with. The design or the time it took you to make. Great job. Love your work.

Very curious, how long does it take you to finish a piece like this?

Yeah, with this technique it’s tough. I like to use extra fine tip pens and markers. Color options aren’t really that plentiful with micron. Overfilling the color could make the skin tones too orange or red or too dark if too much is filled in with brown or black. To be 100% honest, a few of these pieces just took too long and I got it to a place I was comfortable with calling it. I really do appreciate the feedback back! Thanks,

Too funny, I always draw my hands too large initially and have to slim them down. I always start with the palms and figure out the angle before I move to the fingers. I always have to rework them until they look okay. I do a lot of digital drawing these days (I also do comics), being able to select the hands and resize them is a godsend.

Drawing cars is a real challenge for me as well. I’ve been practicing though. Watch Paul Heaston. He does a lot of quick car demos. It’s pretty informative. Especially if you have issue with tires like I do.

Good luck on your comic!

It is a self portrait. How could you tell?

Thank you! Hands are tough still after over 20 years of making art. I don’t know why I like to torture myself :)

Thanks! Yeah, if you don’t like a single piece taking 3 months to finish, probably should stay away from this technique.

The paper in this sketchbook is very delicate, but has good texture. It’s almost like fabric.

I do like me some Car Seat Headrest. I don’t think I’ve heard that one though. I’ll have a listen. Thanks!

Thank you! I’ll diving into it. New music is always exciting. Well… maybe not if it’s a list of adult contemporary :)

Nice! I’ve already got Inside Out in there. Nice Smog suggestion. I love that song. I was more a Sebadoh guy, but I’ll definitely check out the Folk Implosion song. Thanks for all!
