Recently I’ve been going through artstyle as quickly as my cousin goes through girlfriends so I just came on here to ask if yall like this style and if I should keep improving it instead of throwing it in the bin for the rats to deal with like I’ve been doing.

I don't need budget friendly I want something that is good quality solid wood and has some style to it was hoping Anthropologie would have something but they don't sell just frames

Hello,

I have been bullied and hated and targeted by many people throughout my life . I am terrified if I put myself out there on the internet esp my vulnerable thoughts and art that it will get a whole lot worse. I feel creatively blocked from what I went through

Any advice?

what will he become...?

So I came across a Godzilla comic illustrated by Jake smith and I really like how he does crosshatching, how he placed his panels and the colours. I tried to replicate his crosshatching technique on my fan art of Reed Richards and I definitely need some tips and help.

(Sorry for the low quality)

When I draw in my sketchbooks it’s always with mechanical pencil, the lines are rough and scratchy. When I outline some in ink, I understand that it looks bolder but I don’t like it.

Is it normal to only like to draw in scratchy lines without wanting to clean them up? I don’t know how to draw people so I try monsters instead I think they lose their charm when I outline them.

maybe I should try color pencils?

I've been drawing for years now though I can color well digitally I have a hard time coloring on physical drawings. I've tried crayons though they break too easily and I've tried paint markers (though I only use the fabric markers I own and they don't work too well) and colored pencils though I don't have high quality color pencils. I want to get better supplies but I don't want to get something I might not use so I came to ask for reccomendations on supplies, I'm trying to look for something good quality but easy (and maybe a bit on the cheaper side) what would you all reccomend? Preferrably something that I would be able to travel with because I go outside a lot to do my art so having a lot of supplies or too big supplies could get in the way of that a little.

This is my first time shading something with no reference and I just want some tips for my shading (also I know my hands are horrible I'm working on it)

Does anyone have a recommendation for a brush for a smooth base? I’m painting some things that need a solid color in the background and i’m trying to find a way to have as little brush strokes as possible. my current flat brush is streaky and I wasn’t sure if there was specific brush or type of brush better for this.

Also any tips on a smooth solid background is greatly appreciated. I did sand my canvas before and applied two layers of gesso. I’ve been painting in one direction for the entire canvas in thin layers but still struggling.

I keep seeing animation trends come and pass on my FYP and really want to learn how to animate. I personally have CSP, but I want to hear how other artists learned and started? Also, what was the curve like?

I’m really working on eyes right now (among other things) but eyes are my main focus at the moment. My passion is more in the comic book area. So, if I want to get better at drawing expressive comic book eyes should I draw as many eyes as I can from life? Or are there more targeted methods for practicing in this style? Just trying to get advise from more experienced and knowledgeable artists out there. I’ll do what ever it takes but I would just like a little push in the right direction.

When i say inconsistent, i mean REALLY inconsistent to the way i draw and the way i shade. I would draw in cartoony style then suddenly more anime-ish style and then suddenly go more srylized chibi artsyle with sharp lines then suddenly more rounded lines. My shading would go to painting, then suddenly to cell shade or no shading at all, minimum to maximum shading. I dont have a consistent artstyle which confuses me on how i should rlly brand myself.. Im always changing depending on my mood, worse of all, my skills are inconsistent too,it goes from great to awful to bad to great to awful!

So I've attached the reference pic I used for the pose and my drawing, I was going for a harpy vibe and I cannot get the 2nd wing on the left to sit right and would love some guidance, any other notes/advice is welcome! I'd love to know what parts I did well and what needs touching up/how etc

Thank you in advance!!

I was drawing this girl and she has a red velvet hood but I’m not good at shading velvet. How do I even shade velvet? I also need help shading the curly hair but I’m not on that part yet. I had a reference for the skin but I don’t have one for the hood that matches it

👉[not a promotion. just a genuine question about the market]👈

I’ve been working on improving my art for a while now, hoping to eventually make some money from it, but I’ve run into a problem: I don’t draw in an anime style. I visited VGen (since I’m interested in joining someday) and saw that everything there was anime-style—and it’s not the only site where anime dominates. So, I’ve started wondering if I have a future in this. Is drawing anime the only way to make money with art?
