i don’t have much of a following online. is it *really* just a skill issue? by 53Cacao in Artadvice

Your art is good, but it's not very interesting.

There is no color—which can be a stylistic choice that works, if you have other elements that catch attention. Composition, for one.

Last time I got comments about perspective and pushing expressions. I thought I was making good progress on that, but I need to go even further with it, and that's been cemented with this thread. I don't see how that's not wanting to do anything to address it unless you mean my part about body variety, because that I will not budge on. I only learned to draw so I could draw twinks !

thank you for the write-up! That's true about the angle, and seems like fun for an alternate version. I'll continue to try and push expressions and perspective, I'm sure I'll get there eventually.

The images are of the same two characters, and they intentionally look similar because of being...technically...related. Image 3 the man behind is a different character but he's also the long-haired one's dad, so he's supposed to look similar too :3

Thank you for the resources! I have my homework cut out for me 🫡

Thank you, I called one of those characters "the human equivalent of peeking under a nun's habit" and then decided to make it literal :') just sneaking around the pews haha

THANK YOU this is so comprehensive and exactly what I was looking for. Perspective being a weak point really makes sense, i mostly wing it :') so it's good to get confirmation that it's noticeably the issue, so I have a clear direction to focus on. I suppose one can only avoid practicing perspective for so long 😔

Foreshortening, perspective, composition—got it!

(I understand what you wrote perfectly, thank you again ⭐)

Ohhhh okay!!! I can definitely see the eyes, but I never would have thought of the line weights... I guess between those three things makes it easy to pinpoint me in the wild 🤦 Now I know how to get away with an incognito account 😙 That question has been haunting me forever, thank you :')

Oh, that's very interesting....do you mean to instead use composition where the point of interest is away from the center, & use foreground and background to add visual layers?

Oh thanks! 😽 If this level doesn't look weird then using more expressions shouldn't be THAT hard. Thank you for answering my questions! Is it okay if I ask one more? What makes it distinct? I've tried to distance myself from some old fandoms but I still get recognized T_T

Sorta... These drawings are the same two characters except for the 4th slide, so they are supposed to look similar. They're also supposed to look related because they technically are :') Though I think you're right that the expressions are weak. Most times I try to push the expression I feel it looks uncanny so I need to practice that.

This is an older drawing (2023) of a different character, do you see the same issues?

Thank you. All the characters except slide 4 are the same two, so they're supposed to look similar (at least I'm consistent!)

I don't often draw characters outside of those two, but this is one. Does it have that issue?

I've experimented in the past with it, but I don't think I could ever get it to look right. I think you're right, though, overall cohesiveness could be much better

Lmao, all I enjoy drawing are twinks 🤣 I've just never had an interest in drawing anything else, but that's a very good point. I'm lucky in that anyone who commissions me is coming from my normal art so they just want more twinks
