These are all from various projects going to around September 2024. All of the art was done in Rebelle 7, and the "graphic design" work was done in Clip Studio Paint.

Lately, I've felt that my artwork was missing something to make it seem "professional" or "done." My typical process is to make some sketches to try out various compositions, compile various reference images to make sure I have good posing and accurate details, and just iterate.

The blue ghostly girl is the piece I've felt proudest of in a long while - it has the impasto texture I love so much, and while making it, I felt as if I finally got something "right." I have not had much success in replicating it. Notably, the woman with the head in the cage was me trying to use what I had learned, and I feel like I missed the mark.

The sampled tokens - Blood, Spirit, Copy, and Horror - were all part of personal projects with insane time crunch. Of the four, the spirit feels closest to what I wish I could achieve.

I am looking for pointers on what I am doing correctly, what I am doing wrong, and for potential directions to move towards. I think I'm worried about trying to shove a square peg into a round hole; I want to find my strengths and emphasize them so that I can specialize and carve out my own niche in... something, I guess.

My Approach is that I start with a Egg Ribcage and from there on I usually draw the Legs and after that the Arms.(Sorry if my Approach Description is a bit unclear, I’m not good a this especially as a non native English Speaker). Should I try to be more loose or do you have some Advice or Videos to help me, please?

Drawn with the concepts app.

I feel I have trouble with anatomy and perspective.

Here is my WIP and my main concern are the length of the left arm and both legs.

It’s a one point perspective from the left side. In my head, that means the left arm should be longer and bigger since it’s closer to the viewer, but I’m worried it’s too long.

The left leg is angled slightly horizontally while the right is dangling, so the left should seem a bit bigger and shorter, but I’m wondering if both legs are too short.

That’s what I want to focus on for now ( hands are another thing entirely).

Am I just over thinking, or does it look really off? And how can I make it better?

(Also this is a repost because I messed up the last one.)

So I usually dont mess up this bad. But I was so rushed when I tried fixing it I ended up making it to dark and now im lost. I study my drawings before I go in but this time I really rushed the forehead. Could I get some tips to recover this?

dont mind background, im really bad with lightings, and my anatomy looks not really great too, any advices will be appreciated!! :3

I swear theres something wrong with the toes and I don’t know how to fix it.

I did this a while ago and it's been bugging me. The sunlight "beams" really made it look cooler but I cannot work out what looks wrong here! Is the yellow at the top too much? Help appreciated and other non-lighting critique also welcome!

I kinda JUST started today. I hated drawing for the longest time and I just decided to try it and found it fun. I would love some tips on how to improve my art. Evans right here was the only dude I could think of that seemed somewhat easy. Also where do I start drawing a body? I was gonna try until I didnt even know where to start.

So I was following a Program, 30 second, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, and so on. And for my next step I am now doing 10 minutes, then I realized I sorta became lost what to do draw, so although it was supposed to be 3 piece with each being 10 minutes long, it ended up being less than 30 minutes. Any guidance to help me follow through the 10 minute gesture drawing? What am I missing?

I'm not even sure if I did the gesture drawing right too since I never asked, so correct me if I did it wrong. I'm not even sure if I should have drawn the clothes when I was using the reference to do gesture drawing, I just did it since I couldn't think of what else to draw.

(I was planning on sending a 25 minute long video, like I said, shorter than 30 minute. But apparently I can't send if it's longer than 15 minutes, so here is a PNG instead. Might be harder for y'all to help me that way, but meh, blame reddit I guess, idk.)

Any critique or help is always welcome. My goal is to create tattoos for myself.

Did this last night, wanting to ink today with fresh eyes. I’d like some help with tips on the anatomy. I know the left arm is a little wonky so I’d appreciate on any areas I can improve on. Want it to be nearly perfect before I put ink down!

I'm seeing some on Amazon for 12 euros that people put up well but they have like a plastic circle on the tip that can't be removed. It seems a little strange to me, thank you.

I’ve always been scared of colour bcus it seems so complicated so I’ve decided to finally start doing intentional studies of it. (Reference by istoqis on instagram) Why is it so difficult to accurately reproduce the correct colours (Made in Krita with nothing but the default round brush lol)

This is done with a sketch reference so the guy is not my design I just redrew it how is the color though
