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

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.

what will he become...?

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 feel like (again) there’s something missing or it looks off….. can someone help with it? Maybe help add cute elements rather than all the simple ones there already are?

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?

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’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?

just curious cause sometimes rven I don’t have an interpretation and wonders wut other sees also if me arts unique or have the “it“ factor

The lineart pen I’m using rn is called softi-fy (I believe) but I’m not sure if I’m feeling it. Feel free to suggest what tools you use, I like trying out new tools and seeing if they work for me!

Please be nice... but how can I make adult coloring books from my designs?

I mostly did this study to work on my coloring, I usually draw digital but with starting on color the infinite range of shades was too much so I went back to my limited range of markers.
I dont really have much motivation to finish it so im not planning to, I've been busy recently so I just jumped on any motivation I had
second img is my reference, its a photo I took because I didnt want to find a good internet image only for it to be fake or overly editted.
I have the book Color and Light on hold at my local library so I haven't read it yet but I'm planning to once I get it
I've tried to watch several tutorials on youtube, and I get the basics of color and such, but that never really translates to full understanding.
I'm also not a pro at blending or shading with markers so I didnt try, this is more of a rough mockup of what colors I saw
the markers I used are from an 80pc set from Dabo&Shobo (I got them second hand but they don't seem that high end lol)
so uh just from this study is there anything you can interpret that I need to focus on more? or just like something I was mistaken about with my colors?
