I'm training hard my portrait skills in order to sell some, I'm almost there but there is still something off. I mean most people would recognize her but it’s not perfect yet. I'd like to draw realistic as well as stylized and still make the essence of the model obvious. If it was a commission it would not be good enough to go on with shading and colorization and to sell yet.

What did I miss?

Thank you :)

So despite 85 comments, several of which were extremely mean for no reason- i finished the piece. I did take several of the critiques into consideration- the shading on the back and dress for example. But I really love this piece and I think my brother and sister inlaw will love it all the same. I am going to offer my brother a companion piece of him. The reason he is not in this piece is because he didnt get his tux until a few days ago so I had no clue what he would wear.

I used to be terrible at drawing. I couldn’t make anything I was satisfied with, and I couldn’t make anything cool. I ESPECIALLY couldn’t make anything I’d ever share with others.

Until I started embracing what made my art mine. I found other artists who had grotesque art styles so I could learn technique, and I found people who entertained others by making the most rancid thing ever seen by human eyes.

I did one caricature sketch, and bang, I found my artistic calling. Then I just kept studying and practicing and getting better! And I had so much fun doing it!

Here’s my progress over the past few years.
Don’t get me wrong I’m not terribly good, but I’m good at making something terrible to look at :D

So don’t get discouraged if your art is unconventional. There are people who will like it :)

Finished! 2 point perspective drawing. Take a look 👁

Hey guys, so literally just started drawing yesterday and attached my progress pics so far. I really want to stick with it and get better, but looking up tutorials online has been kind of overwhelming.

There's so much mixed info out there that I honestly feel stuck on what I should actually be doing every day, and I don't know what to keep practicing or move onto next. Any advice or directions to good resources for a total beginner would be awesome. Thanks!

Hey!

I hope this is the right place to ask, since I'm not an artist myself.

I've been seeing a girl who's really into drawing and art, and we get along pretty well.

Recently, she asked if she could "study anatomy" with me. She said something about male anatomy, drawing, practicing, and so on. I agreed, but now I'm a bit nervous since I'm not a model.

Is it normal for people who are into drawing to ask their peers to stand in as models? Especially when it's about "anatomy"?

I hope one of you can help me out!

Sketch is done, now to maybe work on cleaning up the lineart, perhaps some line thickness variation, and then do some colours.

Anyone has any thoughts on what I should correct before that?

I just worked up the courage to restart drawing, but I've been feeling like something is off, whether it be the shading or how much I'm filling up the page, it just never seems perfect recently. Way back then, I feel like I was in the zone and would honestly just appreciate it if I had any feedback on my drawings. The Gojo is my most recent and the other ones are my old ones from like 6 months ago.

Hello! I am a beginner digital artist that has been using procreate for 2 years. I have started to practice the Loomis method and the lines but then I don’t know how to turn that into a full sketch. Like how to go from the loomis head into a full drawing. Do I start with eyes? Mouth? I know I need to practice drawing those too. But once I have them how do I apply that to the loomis head in order to make a full sketch? How do i know where to even begin?

I’d show you pictures but I deleted my artwork. I usually do when I hate how it turns out. I want to get into drawing my own OCs and I also want to finally find my art style but I’m not sure how to bridge that gap between loomis method and sketch. That's kind of why I haven't been drawing full sketches lately because I get frustrated when I cannot bridge that gap.

Any advice helps!

Trying to improve my lineart so I went up drawing those incredible duo. Some tips?

Update on my drawing. Practicing 2 point perspective and I think its coming along! Almost done just another day to work on it
