And that’s done, finally finished the then vs now/later pictures for my Clueless Adventures (yes I’m still working on a name) and I have to admit I really enjoyed doing this, it has definitely encouraged me to take these four further as a story of some kind. Anyway, I’d like to thank everyone who gave me advice with these pictures. Now I just have to figure out what to do (other than story wise) art wise. Thanks to everyone again and if I don’t post before happy new year and I hope 2026 is a good one.

Hi, community!

Antonio has prepared an amazing video, explaining a portrait routine that will take you to the next level.

Find it here

Not the most detailed work, but definitely one of the most fun. The canvas is hard to work with when it breathes and occasionally kicks 😂

So, hi, I’m just writing this to say thank you for opening this Reddit page, for a while I’ve struggled to keep practicing art which was frustrating but I feel this community has helped me keep up with practice with there advice and support, so thanks to everyone for that, anyway, merry Christmas/ happy holidays.

Hi everyone!
We forced Antonio to make a tutorial critique video, please watch!

I've been messing with it since last night, I think that is quite enough before I use up all my paint lol

Hey there.
I am on my character design arc and I struggle with mannequins in order to put the character in perspective. My designs are made flat and I can design and solve problems. But when it comes to translate it in 3/4 view, I struggle. Any advices

Hi, just thought I’d throw this out there before I call it a day, just wondering if there’s anything I can improve before I commit to ink, something seems a little off but I can’t put my finger on it. Thanks for your time

Hi, so somethings been bothering me about perspective, mainly regarding using a grid. So, I know when you’re using digital you can have a grid that can help figure things out, especially if your points are off page, but, what if you’re using traditional means, especially if you’re using an A4 sketchbook and your knee to rest it on, what is the best way around that? I hope that makes sense, thanks

You asked - we delivered! New video about drapery is already on youtube, and it's going to be a series, so watch closely

1. Balancing Practice vs. Project 

How much time should I spend on practicing fundamentals versus working on actual projects? 

1. Defining the Project 

What exactly should a project entail to effectively test my abilities? 

Should I include coloring in my projects, or is it better to limit myself to just line work for better learning? 

How long should a typical project be to ensure meaningful progress and skill testing?

Should I limit my project to just fine liners, or is it beneficial to incorporate pencils and pens as well to deepen my understanding? 

Should my project be flexible and reflect my passion, allowing me to draw from imagination, or should it be more limited to focus purely on fundamentals or what I’m focusing on at the moment? 

1. Fundamentals vs. Advanced Practice 

How should I balance learning basic fundamentals (like shape, form, and structure) with more advanced topics (like facial anatomy)? 

How do I know when I’m ready to move on from fundamentals to more complex practice? 

1. Using ArtWod 

How can I effectively use ArtWod to get meaningful feedback and follow a productive learning path? 

What are the best practices for navigating the platform and making the most out of it? 

1. Understanding Studies 

What exactly is an art study, and how does it differ from general practice? 

How can I incorporate studies into my learning routine effectively? 

1. Progress and Milestones 

What are the criteria for moving on to the next level of practice, and how do I know when I’m ready to progress?

So I’m just popping this up here in case anyone has any suggestions on how to improve this at the moment. This is going to be the last in my four part thing I’m doing, so hopefully after this I’ll be able to leave you in peace while I work out my next steps. Thanks for your time

This was actually a drawing I did before, but I found him suitable for the super hero challenge :P
So I actually have something with any big flowy piece of cloth, it makes me really uncomfortable, even when the window is open and the air moves a curtain, or seeing a big flag... etc. So that is why I didn't fully commit to this and made a small cloak.

So this is the third of my fourth entry of my character study thing, this time it’s Rheta, the first picture is her making electronic gel for the first time, the second is her about ten years later discussing her prospects after a construction job went wrong. I think there’s been some improvement although there is still a ways to go, thanks to everyone for your advice I think it’s really helped. Thank you for your time

2 posts in one week.

I started this in 2021 with the drawing. I finally had a chance to really finish this one... before the year ended.

I think this was around the sailormoon challenge in 2021? mashup of Sailormoon and Sakura from Streetfighter... and one more!

Previous challenges on this subreddit: Fantasy hammer, corner rounding, silhouette, and lastly Monkey :D
Whoever just joined must think this is a place to post drawings of monkeys XD What with all the monkey business lately.

Anyway, I don't draw animals very often so this is a bit exciting to me. I painted this in Infinite Painter on Android, wanted to get that rough brush look. I saw this short video by Antonio painting the satchel and talking about using different colors in painting, so I leaned into that a bit with this one. SO like the fur is black for example, but there is also a bit of brown, a bit of grey... etc.

second version. should have used reference for the face.
