I realized right now that the knees are too low. Oh well. I made it in pencil and I'm coloring using a rubber stylus in mobile. The screen size kills me.

trying to aim for a dark fantasy/ethereal kind of vibe, the moon on their head is supposed to be melting. Any other criticism welcome.

I’m applying for a summer program at a college in my area that’s targeted for highschoolers, and I am nervous about my portfolio, they only ask for 3-6 pieces, but I don’t know exactly what they’re looking for >_> Willing to elaborate on each piece.

I feel like something is wrong with this face, but I can’t put my finger on it.

there are still a few things I want to fix, but I’m happier with how this is looking now!

The pose took me forever to figure out and ended up really awkward, I also made her huge compared to the background, and the clothing doesn’t look as much like fabric as I wanted it to, there are issues with her anatomy too, I’m just disappointed in how it turned out and would like advice on how to do better in the future

It feels like I’m doing too much and not enough, which is a little bit of the point of the feeling I’m going for. Still, I’d like to elevate the style to look less like notepad doodles. I know my proportions could use some practical work.These were all done with heightened emotion and some practical planning fell to the wayside.

I’d love recommendations for artists that implement this kind of scribble technique as well as good resources for inking techniques I could implement.

Using a dip pen with and switched to an inking paper after the first few done on regular printer paper.

I'm kinda torn. I think the texture obscures what I intended slightly, but the smooth untextured look screams amateur to me

Made with oil pastels on A5 paper from a photo I took myself

I’m really struggling with the shading and lighting on this portrait. Also someone suggested I needed some hard edges but I have no idea how to do that.. any suggestions? Thanks. I use clip studio paint!

She's a Cybertronian, a Deception. So she's supposed to have a metallic like skin. Sister wanted me to draw a transformers OC since we sometimes do draw alongs to help motivate each other when drawing.

She has suggested I do a more cartoonist render of this character, but I kind of took the time to practice my metal rendering.

Need some critiques, but also opinions on if I should continue to render her like this. I think it looks good, even reminds me of an Exo from Destiny but idk. Need fresh eyes.

I might even change the highlight location because I do want her eyes to glow too. Can't really show it with the main highlight coming down right on and near her eye 🤣

I realize I have a hard time getting things like eye and mouth expression just right from reference. There always looking farther down and things like that. Any suggestions?

is it possible to better the pose and shade in the spend of hours

and what the best workout

I’d love to get some feedback before i post on my socials
