these are the pieces i submitted -- id like to see if theres anything i can do before i try again. Any critique at all is very much appreciated!

I asked for advice on this sub. and painted over and adjusted this drawing according to the feedback I got

After receiving feedback, I decided to go back to doing gesture drawings. Tbh I feel like I always struggled with gesture drawings (having to draw quickly) so I always gave up on it. But I decided to give it a try. I would appreciate any and all critique and advice. Each drawing individually took about 5 minutes or less.

Hi!

I would love some criticism on if I have same-face syndrome. These are only a couple of my characters (actually they’re dragon OC’s human-ified) and the one with red-purple hair is a friend’s character! The second one from the left with blueish-grey hair is the son of the further most left and right characters, with no relation to the red-purple haired woman.

Thank you for any help!

First of all, I have this OC (my sona, slightly based on me), who is a ghost (I love undead characters). In the previous (and first) design, I simply included random elements I liked (stitches, visible bones, etc.), but for some time now I’ve been thinking that, since she’s a ghost, I should find a specific cause of death and incorporate that into the design (for example, if she died in a fire, with burns; or if she was beheaded, carrying her head in her arms), rather than just adding random elements. I really like the water theme in character designs and such, so I decided she should have died by drowning and to reflect that in her design. The problem is, I can’t find any artistic references or character designs or OCs in that situation, and to be honest, I don’t really fancy looking up images of what a corpse that’s been in the water looks like. On the other hand, I tried searching online for descriptions of what they look like and so on, but I found almost nothing, and I don’t have enough imagination to visualise it properly. To be honest, I’m pretty much out of ideas. What do you think an undead character who died by drowning in water might look like in their design? What elements could be included in their design?

Her hair is curly, entirely inspired by my own (I just sketched the general shape, it’s been ages since I last drew anything, and I’ve hardly ever drawn curls). And her clothes and make-up are gothic/alternative. Or at least I’ve tried. It’s the sort of thing I like.

I wasn’t sure if this was the best subreddit to ask for recommendations, help or ideas. I’m sorry if it isn’t, and I’ll delete the post if that’s the case.

looking to become a tattoo artist but know i need to improve my art skills majorly first, so all critique no matter how harsh is welcome! tell me what i should work on, especially to get into tattooing! <3

I struggle with side profiles. I think I’m mostly struggling with the nose

I think my reference has coily textured hair, but mine leans towards curly. and this was supposed to be lineart only, but if the only way i can capture the likeness of the reference is by coloring i will try that. i’d appreciate any help/advice 🙏

Hi everyone,

This is my first time posting. I was looking to get some advice and critiques regarding my art. I’ve included some pieces that I’ve done (all free) using acrylic paint and canvas. Ive done a couple other pet portraits but somehow never took a picture. I was thinking about possibly trying to open myself up to commissions but have no idea where/ how to start. Any advice is appreciated!

Whenever I draw angles like this, it looks like the legs are attached directly underneath the torso.

I have no idea how to make it look more three-dimensional.

Hi! Could you help me decide on a color palette among these? The character's evil and mischievous other than dangerous.

I took a longggg break from art, so I’m trying to get back into it but I feel like i’m not really getting any „better“, and was wondering if anyone has any advice for me based on a couple pieces!

I’ve attached one value study with its reference which i finished today, and one drawing of one of my favourite characters I did the other week

Just colored them in for the first time also :0

Am looking for some advice on the colors and a name again :>>

I have a very distinct art style so it might be a little bit difficult to tip me(?)

Hello! I am working on this drawing (pencil crayon) and I thought I would post this here.

I just feel like it looks off, I've been fixating on the apple part for days and I feel like the coloring looks muddy? Also the shading in the eyes is throwing me off. I've been staring at this for so long idk what to think! Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?

Much appreciated

Hi! I’ve been learning how to draw some more hairstyles, and would like people’s opinions on how I drew these Bantu knots. I looked up a few reference images, but didn’t know if I portrayed them well. Thank you in advance!

Im not sure fully how to work the title sorry lol

Using a simple artstyle, is this a good way to convey age? (Younger kid and young adult) Or if you saw them out of context would you not make these assumptions?

I need to establish some sort of proportion things for faces and bodies to implement in my art so the age of my characters are clear

I am just beginning a new splash art, I'm trying to make this pose work, the one without a face was the initial sketch and the one with is the ultra stretched/ exaggerated pose. Plus forshortening is slaughtering me. IDK WHAT TO THINK OF IT HOW CAN I MAKE IT LOOK MORE BETTER HELP PLEASE

Hey everyone,
I’ve recently started my journey with digital art and surreal illustrations.
This is one of my early pieces in this style, and I’d really appreciate honest feedback — what works, what feels off, and what I should improve as a beginner.

I’m mainly trying to understand how the atmosphere and composition come across to viewers.

Any critique or thoughts are very helpful. Thanks!

(I don't like censoring artistic nudity or suggestiveness, but I'm wary in case I break a rule)

I've watched countless videos and classes on color theory, I can make traditional paintings look balanced and I like grayscale, but coloring in digital is very confusing, everything looks darker or paler than I think, it feels almost too "opaque".
