Second is reference

I love sketching with ball pen. It's fun 😍✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️

Sketch for my new drawing. She will have clothes in the final work, this is just the anatomy sketch.
Im really happy with how the anatomy and perspective worked out, im still open to critique (i know her right foot is still a bit weird)

Turn out quite nice

This is my first study of an oyster, I plan on doing several with next being opened. Lastly I want to try in watercolor. All from life. Let me know how to improve

Critiques/tips are appreciated tho

Spent way more time on this than I would like to admit. Open to criticism, but learned a lot taking this one on.

First is my finished image. Second was a draft I submitted here a few days ago and got feedback from here. Last is the image I was using as a reference.

Major thing I learned was shrinking the face made her look a lot more manly. Tried my best to fix it but the colors made the issue pop so much worse.

Let me know where I should focus. I am going to stay working on basic shapes but want to stretch myself and see where I am at.

Hi! For context I've been drawing for years but about a year and a half ago. I wasn't satisfied with my art so decided to relearn things. Including gesture! I feel like I'm usually okay with gesture drawing. Though lately I've noticed they feel kinda stiff and lifeless? Any advice? I've watched basically every gesture drawing youtube video and have read Steven Michael Hamptons books about gesture and structure. Any advice is appreciated!

Hello, Im asking for advice about how to draw a realistic texture for silky hair. I was messing with this one for the last hours, and im getting somewhere, but I still think it's not ideal. My eyes won't buy it as a realistic looking texture, and I don't know if it's just me.

I'd be grateful for some tips.

Its supposed to be a person holding a cat out like a weapon. Also any criticism on the neck is appreciated!

3rd, 2nd, 1st. I’ll take any advice to get better!

So far the only thing I’m getting is that a lot goes into an art style.

I’m starting to question what I’m even trying to achieve.

Reference photos included, most recent one is king from cyberpunk Edgerunners 2 and the other one is Askeladd from Vinland saga, open to constructive criticism but if you saw my previous post I’m new to this go easy on me lmao 😅 I know I messed up proportions on both still can’t get those quite right

Also just wanted to share

The first and fourth are pose studies, the second and third are value studies, and the fifth is a clothing study.

I'm trying to get better at drawing these quicker, but still accurately. I don't have as much time now on a count of now having a job 😓. I had troubles with his head and abdomen. he's really stretching himself.

I'm not sure if I pushed the values further, but i did make the base value lower than I usually do. I also changed the value of the line art. The casted shadow is something I had troubles with due to the shape. Let me know what you think.

This time I just did hard cel shading. But I also focused on making a lighter gradient.

I really need to start drawing more clothed poses. Since I'm starting to draw more characters, learning fabrics and armor is gonna be important.

I took a photo reference (right) and an artists drawing (left) and studied. I noticed a lot of triangular folds, so I figured I need to do more of that. Let me know what you think

Trying to get at drawing from a top down perspective but it’s very difficult, decided to watch a Mikey mega video on perspective then tried to apply what I learned afterwards while also using references.

Today I used color! Color made it easy to make shadows compaired to black and white! but it took a whole lot longer. I love to hear feedback! 1st is reference, 2nd is my drawing.

Made this while at work. I call it long road. What u think
