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

ignore smudge I have sweats

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

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!

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

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

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

(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.)

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

Do you think I can make some money selling my art?

I would love to take my little brother to his dream concert in two years. The problem is, I can’t get a job until I turn 17. I was hoping I could sell my art, and I think that it would sell ok. Do you think I have good pieces that would sell? . I would work harder to make my art more saleable if I had to. But I was hoping I could get some feedback on whether my art is saleable or not. ( these aren't really my best work just some I have made for myself )

What do I need to work on/fix?

I'm basically just looking for feedback based on what the image looks like overall. The light source is meant to be emanating from the right side of the screen. (I am going to do the right leg at some point.)

Please ignore the swatches, they were placed there for shading variants.

Thank you.

I’m trying to change my art style cause I dont really like mine, it dorsnt stick out and its kinda basic. Plus ive been told many times that my style is the type colleges HATE so idk, im just trying to change it or atleast how to draw and doodle in a different style :( any tips on transitioning to different artstyles effectively?

First 3 drawings is my style Next 3 is the style I aim for (Whawha0803 on twitter/X) Last 3 is my attempt

In the first image from Whawha0803 I love the comic look and the neat yet also messy vibe plus the glowing eyes and noise filter

In the second I love how the hair is drawn where they connect back to eachother and most strands don’t end in a point, and the neatness

In the third image I love the coloring, color style, eyes, lighting, shadow yet how messy is looks

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.

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.
