Hi friends! Looking for an open critique. Would you say my values are decent, or does there need to be more contrast?

I know my eyes are too big... That's always an issue for me, lol!

I was aiming for an illustrative-style, not totally realism.

I half-hearted the beard... Anybody have any scraggly beard tips???

Hello,

I seem to have a pretty consistent issue with my figure drawing where im drawing 'the sum of the parts' of my figures but they often feel stiff and disconnected.

Ive attached a few recent sketch examples to show what i mean.

In particular, i feel like i pretty consistently mess up the neck/shoulders and the pelvis, but i could also use a second opinion.

Do you have any recommendations to fix these issues? I think the 4th image is my most successful recent body, but overall i feel like its still not perfect.

I do use references when i draw, so im not just winging it from imagination either

Never really draw other than as a kid, I drew this from a photo reference but can’t tell if it looks good

trying to get my skill back pls if u have any feedback share. ref is by sushiwacky on deviantart

Drawing this while watching TV.

Hello i want to know what should i improve here, dont have Mercy.

Hi all! I'm starting to feel a bit stagnant in my art learning journey. Is there anything in these pieces that stands out, that I should work on improving next? I do a mix of humans and furry art :)

Pictures are ordered newest to oldest.

Hello,

I would some feedback for this drawing I just did on procreate.

I used to only copy some art I liked but now I just create my own using different references for poses, outfits, effect, background, etc...

Would appreciate any feedbacks to improve.

Thanks in advance!

Hi! I just wanted to ask if any of you hould help with his face proportions. They just look off to me especially the eyes. Im open to any critique, i just want his eyes to look like they belong on his face😭 he is supposed to be laying down on a pillow dying

This drawing includes: Finished drawing, construction step, only-lineart.

I have tried to make torso twist - Ribcage facing the viewer, pelvis "laying normally". Face, or at least eyes feel bit strange but I can't point-out what concretely is off.

I would like to hear if you have more criticisms and/or solutions to the determined issues.

I have just been painting a couple weeks, but running to a progression wall. Trying to grasp the context of vallue/shade but its a steep road.

I tried working from light to dark and from dark to light ( or top to down vs down to top) both gave simillar result but i think i preffer light to dark, but heard its bit advised in the beginning)

Im aiming for as realistic as I can make it, it goes well first 50% and then i just loose texture more than gain, and loose realism allong the way.

Probably hard to give advice off just pictures, but thought I give it a try cause why not.

Appreciate in advance any feedback you willing to give.

I will sent pictures in order from where I started to most recent work.

second ever painting. made a eastern bluebird in memory of my foster mom who lost her battle to brain cancer.. looking for tips to make the bird appear more real or just to improve it period. thanks in advance

Ive been having hardest time with different perspectives and peoples faces my best drawings are objects and lettering i feel. Any help would be appreciated. Here's a few drawings I've done some on drawing app, some colored pencil and pencil.

As a beginner in art, I'm genuinely impressed by how amazing some artists are in hatching techniques. As a challenge, I'm trying to recreate an artwork I deeply admire whose image I've attached. The hatching is insane and quite difficult for me. Can someone help me out with this?

Hey everyone! 👋 Looking for constructive criticism on this piece, specifically around head/skull construction. Please don't give me vague tips like "study the skull" 🙏 — I need actionable feedback: ✏️ What's specifically wrong with my proportions/structure right now? 📐 What should my next studies focus on (landmarks, planes, angles)? 📈 What does realistic progression look like from where I'm at? 📚 Any specific resources (books, artists, courses) that helped you with heads? Brutal honesty over empty encouragement, please! I want to actually improve, not just hear "good job" 💪

Hello all, started my day 1 of learning to draw, been following the 'How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way' book. I have honestly no idea if im on the right track, some things are good but some aren't as detailed as id like (for example how to draw male heads from start to finish, it just shows you fully constructed 3d looking head). Kinda oblivious to lots of things in the art world, specifically the good resources.

Suppose I'm posting this to see if anyone has anything to share, books/guides/daily drills etc.

Comic style and various cartoon style are what inspired me to begin with. As my little side quest of learning how to animate dumb videos has made me want to get better at drawing.

Criticism and pointers are very much welcome.

Also is the lassoo tool cheating the learning process or is that just part of the digital experience?

Thanks.

Personally, I think this is my best drawing

Is there anything you think I could improve?

It's hard to believe all of these drawings came from today. The stuffed animal drawings are from life, but Lumine was without any reference at all. It makes me wonder if I actually know how to draw, or if I'm just fooling myself into thinking I do. All of my work feels flat to me.

Also this is my first time drawing any sort of landscape. Reference included.
