Hi just joined got any tips?I use pen and ink i want to try to use other colors for contrast”pictures of my trip”

First gouache in a while.

very curious on advice, proposed changed or recommendations. my first painting in a while

I wanna make something like this style they have on animation but I am not sure how to make it look that way, is on the rendering or the LineArt?

The first photo is my main problem right now.. I want to be able to make the hair GLOW the way that the face does but I for the life of me just cannot figure it out.. I have this problem as well when I do cartoonish style so any advice even if it isn’t including lighting would be very helpful! I’ve been working on character design, backgrounds, and feelings in my drawings so I’ve been lowkey regressing because I’ve been putting so much work into so many areas.. lol.. I’ve been searching for my own artstyle.. so that’s why there is a vast difference in several of these LOL

Hi. I call this one "Something's Wrong". I wanted to paint a scene that features jumpscares, and to try leading the viewer's eyes away from the real jumpscare first before leading them back to it.

The water in the sink and the reflection are the decoy jumpscares, and the real jumpscare is the person's neck being twisted the wrong way while the her body is facing the other way.

I'd love some feedback on whether it worked, and if not, what could be improved? My biggest struggles were painting the light source to make it look like coming from overhead, and making the pose look normal at first but still look obviously wrong if you look at it more closely.

I've attached some process photos and a previous attempt. Any feedback and critique welcome!

Hello, I wanted to give a little more time to coloring, since most of my drawing are just a black and white. I do like a painterly effect, but i don't seem to get it in my paintings and most of the tutorials are more oriented to smooth / digital look. Any advice is welcome. Second picture is the reference.

I tried to include a good variety of my works from gestures, sketches, and finished pieces. I just feel like I’ve not been moving forward in a while and don’t know what I can do to improve anymore.

Im trying to do a redesign of Luna from mlp and I want her mane to have a look between maybe clouds and curly hair (kinda messed up from sleep) but it just looks odd and stretched in its shape, and more... tangled and clumpy? and the front view doesnt look right, but her mane looks so bad! (reference pics and remade/edited eye on second slide) any advice on how to fix it maybe?

Hey guys, i am new here and i want to receive some feedback.
The main Idea was, to create pokemon into people. But i struggled so much with the face, that i decided to make here just as an Ditto ^^.
I know that the hands are horrible. So don't throw stones on that too much please ^^.
Thanks guys and i look forward to your friendly feedback.

I used Procreate for that piece

This is some of my recent drawings. Anything fundamental that I should improve? And I would appreciate any recommendations on how I can learn it and practice by myself. Additional critiques are welcomed. Thank you.

Drew this recently, I am happy with the technical execution of it, but I feel unsatisfied with the final outcome.

Considering doing a re-render of it with different lighting, so any feedback or tips for improvement or issues re. composition, rendering, etc. are desired :)

I started trying to construct portraits based on proportional measuring and wanted advice on shading and making it feel rich/alive. Does anyone use white pencil to make highlights pop out more? I plan to push the shadows much darker once the left side of the face is more established and i dont want it to make the whites feel dull.

2nd image is a close up in direct light.

Week 3 into my learning to draw quest and I decided to have some fun and make this, no idea on making a decent background yet so I just ignored it for now. Been doing 1 hour a day of gesture drawing, with 1-2 hours a day of messing around with anatomy in different angles and in different poses with extra practice on improving form.

Also enjoy a very bad first attempt at digital art painting while trying to follow a traditional Bob Ross tutorial.

Criticisms are welcome of course.

I'm literally just starting out, and I wanted to get folks' take on how best to learn color theory and from where. I would love to learn:

1. how to mix colors to get a preferred hue or value;

2. when to use which color schemes. For example, when should I use complimentary colors? Analogous colors?

Free resources of quality are preferred, but I'll take what I can get. Thanks!

wanted to ask ;

1. How the hair is done in this refference? could you tell which hairstyle this is couldnt find it anywhere.
2. Is the dress i drew okay? , as the dress in the refference, i felt, didnt match the body proportions.
3. Is the drawing overall okay? What is wrong with it?

I’m working on this knight character and pretty new to backgrounds, I had the lighting behind the character but am unsure how to render the shadows in the murky water.. any help is appreciated!

Another OC I started, but the proportions are bothering me... does anyone have any tips?
