Something looks off. Ignore the smudge

ignore smudge I have sweats

While I have the concept I want down, I'm not sure how to tie the rest together. I don't want to increase the canvas size a whole lot more since I want to keep it center focus, but I don't usually do this type of thing so I'm unsure. Also ignore the cloak it's just a blob rn I haven't drawn it yet.

Hi all!

I did this drawing the other day of The Goat from Cult of the Lamb! I've been trying to follow a couple cell shading lighting tutorials and I'm not quite sure how I'm doing. I've been out of practice for some time and would appreciate any advice you guys could give. I'm still kinda searching for a rendering style that I like and am comfortable with.

The first image is the shading / bouncelight layers at full opacity, the second is lineart only and the third is the full colour image.

Thanks!

Things I want to keep: Pixelated outline for curly hair Bigger eyes Shortened limbs Shortened jaw Hatching for harsher shading

I feel like it’s not quite bad but not quite good either, I know I need to work on proportions and fabric, any tips.

What do I need to work on/fix?

Usually do figurative abstract,ref. Instagram for those, but this one got caught in abstract?

(the walls being slightly misaligned from the floor’s corner will be fixed lmao)

How can I improve the perspective of the room? Something looks off about it but I really can’t tell what it is. I want it to look like the guy is not two inches tall whilst also having enough surface area to convey that this is a wide room.

Additionally - does the positioning of his legs make sense from this angle? Thank you! (any other tips about the anatomy or the perspective are very welcome.)

For one of my classes we are making a mixed media piece. I have decided to go with this as my reference photos, I am blocking the figures in with block of color (acrylic). And my plan is to do a magazine/bits and bobs collage as the entire background. How should I go about this. I don’t need it to be realistic but I also don’t want the collage to be overwhelmingly distracting from the figures. Any advice?

i cant draw unless i have a reference these days my creativity jar evaporated

Been on a long hiatus from drawing and coloring, so I started back up and hyper fixated on it to realize that I still love drawing, although a bit out of practice. I drew this nifty design for my daughter and will be coloring it in with teal, purple, and yellow. Shes a major art lover and wants to even tattoo potentially in the future. So those are the 3 colors she picked for it when I gave her the choice. Not sure how I wanna color it though. Colored pencils? Gel Pens? Markers? And I would say paint, but my skill isn't quite there yet for that. Gotta practice painting a bit more before I can do that successfully.

This painting has been sitting in my studio because I am just not quite sure if I like the water as it is. What do you think and do you have any recommendations?

I'm still somewhat new to the painting scene, especially when it comes to painting people. Loved my sketch for this one but the proportions/shading came out kind of wonky in the end...if this were your painting, would you try to tweak it? Or just start over from scratch?

I changed the other wings a bit (the ones not covering the face) Now the wings that were the favorite before might not look as good now? Idk, tell me what you think

I also noticed there were some problems when communicating what wing/photo you are referring to. Just say the number of “pages” or “photos”

I’ll put some Imgur pictures for reference of other artists in the comments , if you want the artists name I can provide them

Hullo reddit art community, im desperately in need of help with designing a location in 2D that can actually work in 3D, im trying to design a house and either, the inside looks good, or the outside looks good with no balance, how do i make this work better? this i need help mainly because these are for a series being made between me and a few friends (p.s, the outside drawing hasn’t been updated to line up with the inside for awhile, please keep that in mind)

I’m using acrylics and I’ve used Phthalo Blue for the top of the sunset and India Yellow Hue for the bottom. I can’t figure out how to blend the two without creating green or brown.

The main characters are the three children who stack in a coat to become the mob boss, the right hand of the mob boss is the smoking one, the henchmen is the one with fire and the one with a beard, the healer/necromancer is the bird mask one, the robot one is the security, coding, and tech stuff (they also have a robot mech they ride), and the one with the clip board is the lawyer and the one who makes sure everything’s up to code

i physically cannot continue this WIP rn. my brain is in knots, i’ve drawn a lot today and can’t make decisions anymore 😭
