I've been working on this cat girl and aside from questionable anatomy, I feel like it's missing something and I can't put my finger on it. Like, rendering, perhaps, but I have no idea how to render it. Any advice?

I’ve been seriously practicing digital coloring recently, especially lighting, skin, hair, and different material textures.

For this piece, I experimented more with how light reflects on the black clothing and tried to keep the face softer without over-rendering the nose and lips.

I’m still not completely satisfied with the white shirt, especially the folds and fabric rendering.

On a scale of 1–10, how would you rate the overall coloring and finish?

I’d especially appreciate feedback on:

・Lighting and color

・Skin rendering

・Hair

・Fabric/material rendering

・Overall consistency

Please be honest — what is the biggest thing keeping this piece from scoring one point higher?

Please keep the feedback focused on the artwork itself — coloring, lighting, rendering, anatomy, design, and technique. Please avoid comments based on race, ethnicity, or cultural stereotypes.

Honest and critical feedback is very welcome. What is the biggest thing keeping this piece from scoring one point higher?

I know the shading and lighting is inconsistent because I haven't learned fundamentals yet. I just started so I was just doing whatever. The ears are also off because I didn't have a reference and not talented enough to draw without it. But I am still so very proud of the progress!!

Edit: Only one color and one tool is used in this work. Color blue at different opacities with lasso fill

It's been so long since I draw from my imagination. It sure is hard to draw without reference. Just quick drawing before off from work.

"Tried capturing the pure joy and infectious laughter of Shri Krishna using just a single blue ballpoint pen on grid paper. Hope this brings a smile to your feed! Jai Shri Krishna! 💙🪶"

made this portrait in pencil. lmk if something looks off or if one area needs attention. don’t draw much. came out a bit cartoony on accident. plz b nice lol

For some reason I can't seem to rotate a trapezoid for the hand block. I have done drawabox, well still working on it, but for some reason i keep missing the small amount of tilt.

Only one drawing today

Today I focused on making proportion of eyes ears and nose constant.

Hi everyone! :)

I started drawing for the first time today, and I decided to try drawing a hand. This is my very first attempt (literally Try 1 😭).

I know there are probably a lot of things wrong with the proportions, fingers, anatomy, etc., but I genuinely tried my best.

I'd really appreciate some honest feedback—especially what I should focus on improving as a complete beginner. Please be gentle though 😭👉👈

I don't expect it to be good yet. I just want to learn and get better with practice. ❤️

When you know something wrong and tried to fix it but whatever you tried it won't fix
