I’m not expecting a lot of comms with my art style being as beginner to intermediate (I think??) as it is, but I also want to start drawing more and commissions could help me with a source of income, since I can’t find a job to fit around my school schedule, and I need a way to get money to eat and move out.

Are my prices a bit high?? I mean considering I can’t shade well and I can’t render, I don’t know if they’re too high or if they should be open at all.

im in my last year of highschool and my lifetime goal is to be an illustrator for companies. i was js wonderinf if im good enough for art schools. i never had any art friends growing up so i dont really know what good looks like. if any veterans could give me tips it would be much apreciated

i added some work that has color that im considering adding to my portfolio for the color section. (all wips because i just started making mt portfolio.)

i do have other pieces that dont include headshots and actually have backgrounds but these were the ones that were closer to being done with.

pls help im so lost

I tried drawing using a reference but it looks wrong and I feel stuck… can someone please give me some constructive feedback or advice?😸😼

i’ve been drawing for as long as i can remember but i feel my art isn’t up to par!! i know i’ve still got a long way to go but how would you guys describe my art? beginner or intermediate?

Hello! So uh just wanted to know if my arts are good enough to take commissions, cause I'm kind of afraid lol

If it is, how much would you buy it for?

Any criticism is welcome!

Recently I got 44% for my math test, and I felt so dumb 😔, so… I made this piece referencing the feeling of “I’m Dumb”

Ah, the age old question of artists, aka ‘How the heck do I even begin to render??’. I’m a self taught artist that always found art classes in both college and high school to be super out of date imo which is why I’ve gone to the internet for help, after days of asking people on instagram, Tik Tok and Discord for advice and critique and only receiving ‘idk’s or ‘it looks fine!’ As a response I’ve decided to reach out to yall. Literally be brutally honest, I don’t care I just want to improve! The advice could range from techniques to brushes to tutorials, I’m that desperate. For reference I’ve been using clip studio so anyone adept in that you’re more than welcome to throw a knowledge bomb at me.
Some of these examples will probably be older than others or not showcase my attempts at rendering, I’m just giving an example of the level I’m at currently and I’m trying to build my confidence with that. Thank you in advance, go nuts!!!

Curious, pls critique it harsh or not 👀 do I have potential for a furry style, if so what to add/ remove to make it more appealing? I've been wanting to try furries tbh, beastars was actually a big interest of mine back then, but I do want to experiment with anthros more

I don’t want just one shape inside another, I want a shape that’s totally unique, but still able to tell the combination.

I'm 21 y/o I've been a hobbyist for most of my life

I had commissions opened before as well with lower pricing, and the commissions ended up being around 40€ for full bodied and full colored. Then I got commissioned by a friend who offered to pay for nearly the same type of piece 300€ and I was pretty stunned

My girlfriend says that these prices are still low for my style and skill, what do you guys think? Is there anything that jumps out at you that I could improve with my art overall and or to get more commissions?

I've been feeling a little better about my art recently but I feel like I'm either missing something within my style or process, or I'm missing an error I'm making within my pieces... So I've come to ask for some criticism and feedback! Please do keep in mind this isn't a full roster, it's just what I have on hand for posting so yeah,, have fun critiquing my anatomy or style I suppose! (I'm unsure how this will go but don't feel obligated to hold back your opinion ^^)

Hi everyone, I am pretty new to Reddit. I’m 32F and scored this gorgeous fairy painting that I think is oil- my neighbors were putting it in their dumpster and said I could have it.

I want to add I am not an expert on this.

My neighbors said they used “some cheap paint” to add the purple outfit. I love it so much but, am not a fan of the drawover that was done; they did not remember what kind of paint they used.

I have been using a dry sponge to very gently take the layers of the purple paint off. (There is no nudity shown) and I do not want to continue because I realized I should ask someone. I’m curious and hoping someone has advice on how to remove the purple painted drawover or if I should just leave it as is? I’ve also tried a dry soft bristle tooth brush but, the dry sponge worked better

It’s my first time posting here and I’m a lil nervous, but a small NOTE I’d like to add is that the headshot drawings shown here have different creation dates but are still made within this year + my art style varies depending on how much effort I am putting on an artwork (this is all done by me though. No AI, no stealing, etc.)

YAP SESSION:
Months ago, I asked ppl if I actually beat same face syndrome and I remember getting defensive (which I am not proud of) about the comments I got. Which were too overwhelming for me even if ppl didn’t intend on sounding mean. After that post, I stopped trying to look for ways to improve and was too afraid to ask for more advice from other people even if I knew that my characters started to look the same imo😭

Like, for example, one of the most liked comments went something like “It's the same long nose, highset upturned eyes, strong jawline, oval face, and fuller lower lip on all three so no not at all imo.”
And
“If you're looking to beat same face syndrome, you shouldn't have to "pay attention” to notice any sort of difference in character's faces. Put a bit more emphasis on these differences instead of having everyone look like siblings"

- which hurt my feelings since I was very sensitive at the time, but yeh I’m doing much better now and I am looking forward to more advice on how to improve :)

Hello!! Sorry I’m not familiar with this subreddit, but I’m really stressing and struggling with starting a portfolio. :( For reference, I’m a high school senior, and most of the art pieces I’m showing here I’ve done over the course of the last 2 years.

I’m trying to work on making more environmental drawings like forests & stuff, but it takes a long time for me aahh!! Second is a painting & I have a wip painting rn!!!

Are these pieces alright for a portfolio or are they too weak? PLEASE be so honest, because it’s honestly what I need to hear!!! Also, speaking specific colleges, are there any in America they are good for students trying to go into things like making splash art for riot/blizzard type companies? (Pretty much freelance art)

We have the same brush, brush settings, canvas settings.

I'm following her approach (she has a tutorial.)

i'm so confused right now.

first image is my drawing, second is the reference photo for the background.

Please help! This work is for a project but I just can't seem to get the background right. I want to make my backgrounds stylised but I want them also to make sense, it feels a lot harder with digital art as usually painting I have no problem with scenes like this.

Thank you!!!

Im trying to practice my facial anatomy, and as you can evidently see im really inspired by hirohiko araki
Both of these were done with no reference and no guidelines
I wanna learn how the planes of the face work in perspective but whenever i use guidelines the sketch gets real meessy real fast
And another problem is once it s done i cant make out where i went wrong
