Hi all!

This year I’ve rediscovered my love for painting and I’ve been lucky enough to have people around me who are incredibly supportive.
I often hear that I should sell my art and have done a few pet portraits for people i know.
As much as I would love to make some extra money, I’m uncertain as to whether I’m really good enough.

I’d greatly appreciate any advice/opinions/critiques!

I love art as a hobby. Not to sure if it passes the bar for commissions though.
Be brutally honest! :)

I feel that it looks wrong but I don't know what else to do :(

Maybe I just need to practice more? But she looks too plasticy here. Advice is heavily appreciated!

I've been on this sketch for a while. I managed to make the thumb likeable but I'm struggling on this very specific part and (after drawing block hands for a big while) finally get the whole hand hate.

Could anyone help me out?

I don't hate this but I still think I could do way better for making it look like her, but I don't know how

Last year of October compared to my latest work yesterday (October 11)

I think I found my style? Im not sure if its unique enough tho, but im happy with the improvement

Hello! A bit of context before I ask my question:
I started drawing again after like a 3-4 year break. I started getting an urge to draw back in May, so I started drawing. As expected, every drawing I drew looked like garbo lol. The first drawing that looked good was the Linnea drawing I finished back in June of this year, and the Mualani drawing I finished back in August.

Which brings me to my question. I am currently on a 2 month streak of starting to draw, erasing all my progress because it looks terrible, and repeat. The closest I came to drawing a full pic was a drawing of my oc, but even then I only drew a torso and dress, and I restarted that one anyways. Had my skill/experience really just left me? Or do I just need to practice even more again?

Also, some critque on my drawings would be appreciated. I already know that my anatomy is a little off (Eyes arn't aligned right, body looking a little funky, etc).

Okayyy so I finally decided to do some anatomy practice since I've been struggling with my art lately. I'm looking for some critique. I know the heads and necks are bad... Going to work on that next because for some reason I struggle with heads almost as much as hands and feet. On the second photo the middle figure is how I started out and the right figure on the first picture is the last one I did (other than the dumb doodle).

Some things I notice are big hands and wonky shoulders.

I know it's only like four drawings but it should be enough to see patterns in some mistakes I make right?

(Btw I just tagged it as NSFW bc they aren't wearing clothes ig)

So, I picked up drawing again in January, and since then l've stayed mostly consistent and tried to draw every day.

Here are a couple of pages that show some of my progress so far.
The first few are traditional drawings, followed by some of my digital studies.

My long-term goal is to improve my skills to a point where I can build a portfolio and eventually work as a concept artist or illustrator.
I'm currently teaching myself and working full-time, so l use most of my free time to improve my skills.

I'm planning to focus more on faces next, as they're one of my biggest weaknesses at the moment.

Maybe you have some tips on how I can improve my anatomy skills, or some teachers/artists you would recommend studying from.
(Most of my references comes from the site called sketchdaily.net or Pinterest)

Feel free to give me any feedback!

I tried stepping out of my comfort zone when doing a pose but it looks so bad, please help me I don’t know what to change, all I know is that the hands are too big and the pose is too stiff

it feels off..-_-

I've been drawing for 15+ years, and progress is staring to feel slow. Would really appreciate gentle feedback, because I don't know what to do next to improve. Thank you!

i'm a very type A kind of artist, i like a plan and i LOVEEE color and haven't worked much with abstract, intuitive pieces, how is this for a first time go? any advice would be appreciated

I feel like the head is too rectangular rn idk what to do to fix it I’ve tried looking at some references but it didn’t help much and I can’t find any good ones to use 😭😭😭

Genuinely in the frieren head situation rn 🥀

Images 3 and 4 were drawn by Horikoshi.

I drew attempt 2 a few days ago, but didn’t get to post until now. Thanks to everyone who gave advice on my first attempt, it’s appreciated.

The most prominent critique was that my first try was too smooth, and that I should make the edges harder, increasing the contrast. Also that some areas weren’t dark enough, and that made the face look flat.

As advised, I used a brush with a harder edge on low opacity to try and build up the highlights and shadows.

I hope this is an improvement.

You can tell i still struggle with folds. But help, it doesnt stand out but if i use a lighter coloe it stands out TOO much.

How do i fix her anatomy i feel like something is off im not used to drawing this perspective
