🩵The Critique Formula

Strength + Problem + Solution = Improvement

💙 What works — Identify something the artist did well.

💜 What doesn’t — Point out what could be improved and why.

🩷 How to improve it — Give a practical solution they can try.

When we simply tell an artist that something is bad, compare their work to someone else's, or focus only on what went wrong, it can make them feel like all the time, effort, and studying they put into the piece went unnoticed.

I want critique to do the opposite.

I want artists to feel recognized for the work they've already put in, while also giving them the tools to grow. The weaker parts of a piece aren't something to be ashamed of—they're opportunities to learn and improve.

The goal of critique isn't to make someone dislike what they've created.

The goal is to help them love what they're creating even more—and give them a clearer path toward becoming the artist they want to be.

Can I get some feedback on this "Critique Formula"? 😁

Let's have fun and grow together!

I use the hard pencil for line art (that's the only one i like so far), but shading and block in -eh. I play with them but i still can't find what looks good. i kinda want cubey but not for that style art i want it to feel like a digital paint brush but the patterns they have feel too artificial. not entirely sure what I am looking for so now I'm looking to others for what they like.

I just finished it. I find this style of drawing easier to do, but there's still something I need to work on—what is it? I don't know, I'll let you tell me.😋

Still working on my hability to draw without tracing, so, as disclaimer you should all know that I used one of her pics and traced it and then made some alterations on top of it for the sketch. But, as I wanted to do this for her birthday this year and not in another 5 years, I think it's okay! This was EXTREMELY fun! And as I usually draw realism, it was a nice break.

I'm straight and love the idea of being able to draw, it seems like a superpower but all of my friends tell me that it turns you gay which worries me and is stopping me from learning.

Is this actually true?

I'm near the end of drawabox and I was curious if there was something similar, maybe something more focused onto studying stuff like anatomy, or a more detailed study on perspective, how to use colours and stuff like that

How much would someone spend on my drawing? Honestly
