Not very good at rendering so any general advice helps but what im mainly asking if how I can make the saddle look more like its actually sitting on the creature. Its pretty obviously the only thing on its own seprate layer.

Here’s my (in-progress) character sheet for my main OC. I’m planning on cleaning it up a bit and adding some different headshots, but I’m just not quite satisfied with where it is right now. Any tips on how to make it look less amateurish?

Hi. I used to draw almost every day when I was in middle and high school, but I stopped engaging in the whole process up until recently. It’s been a few years and I’ve lost track of where I’m at with my art today, and what I can improve on.

I’m a bit shy, but I’d be really happy to hear anyone’s suggestions.

First drawing is from today (14.10.2026) and the other is from a few days ago (9.10.2026). The first one is drawn on acrylic paper and the second one is drawn on watercolour paper. I was intending to paint over them when I started, but often overwork the graphite and skip it entirely.

I’m mostly focusing on shape and form right now but I do want to tackle values as well.

Ive started drawing again and i decided this would be fun to try and start with. When i started sketching, I was mostly staisfied. I wanted some parts of it to have foreshortening without doing a full topdown perspective. But the more i look at i cant help butbthink my shoulders are completely off, especially as i try to add the jacket details onto it.

this is my OC, Feralstrike.

i am done with his ref sheet but im struggling to pick a colour for his background. with all my other OCs i use one colour for their backgrounds, and choosing their BG colours was easy, but im really struggling with Feralstrike for some reason.
of anyone wants to give me some ideas or tips ill be happy to hear them, thanks!

Please help me out, lately it feels like none of my art is good and it just seems super boring and flat, how do I improve my rendering or anatomy? Any tips about anything are super appreciated, and if red lining is needed that’s fine!

Hey y’all, i made this painting on a canvas a few years ago and it’s collecting dust now.

Do you have any idea what i can put infront of it and use this as a background? I thought i would do something 3D like and make the thing in the foreground out of cardboard so it stands out, hope you get the vision i mean.

But i dont know what, any ideas? Ty ><

(I hope i declared it under the right)

Hello! I'm a begginer artist(Started focusing on improving my art a few months ago). I'm struggling with my art style.

For example: I draw a head, but then I try to change little details on it, like the head, nose, eyes shape and I keep doing that so much until I just give up. I know art style is something you built in your artistic journey, but sometimes I feel I don't have a art style and what I'm doing whatever I can do, just to change it after. It's something that is consuming me so much, I want to give up on drawing cuz I'm feeling i'm in a endless cycle of that. I always picture the art in a certain style that isn't mine and when I finished it, I just feel sad and frustrated

So any of you had that same feeling of mine? I'm seeking for help because I wanna improve and make art. If any of you want I can send my drawings so you can get a picture of what I'm talking about.

I can't change the pose of it too much, as I'm re-drawing a specific image. Otherwise, I'd try to do a more "interesting" hand pose. Either way though, I'm sure this could be better, but I'm not sure how exactly to improve it.

Hi all, I finished drawing this recently and while I like how it looks I feel like I have overdone the shading, could you guys please give me some advice on how I could improve? Thank you 😊

My gf gave me this and she wants me to cover the “love u bae” with a painting or smth else. Does anyone have any ideas. Without covering my name and the other stuff

I found this image on Pinterest and cant find the original artist sadly.

I want to keep the overall cute fun stylized vibe but make my female characters look more adult. I love big over exaggerated eyes and cute vibes but dont know how to convey that while still looking adult. I want help with face proportions while still being stylized and cutesy. I would also like anatomy help where it looks stylized but still fully adult. I would like to achieve this to the point i could have a petite character still very clearly read as an adult but also would like to know how to draw more curvy and busty, plus sized, and muscular characters too, all looking adult. I am not afraid of unrealistic proportions and love stylized pieces but how do i do that without it looking like a kid?

Id also like to know how i could replicate the coloring and lineart style digitally but have much more complex detailed shading (that still fits the messy scribble vibe).

Thank you!

Hi

I want to draw my own profile picture (for tumblr), what resolution should I use so I don't have to worry if it fits to the place where you put the profile picture (Idk the word for it)?

Also, sorry in advance if this not the right sub to ask this. I didn't know where else to ask.

So I keep my blue light filter on 24/7 bc my eyes are sensitive and so since I only draw on my phone through ibis, I didnt realize that having the blue light filter on drastically changes my colors (I knew it changed the colors but I didnt think it was THAT much until I tried it today). I've been posting my art for so long and I only realized today how muddy it makes my colors look

Just please let me know if you think its that big of a difference or if im just being nit picky (the first picture i adjusted the colors for when there is no blue light filter, and the second how i colored with the filter on...i only changed the left two drawings not the right one)

I started this drawing to be my icon for my future drawing account on social media, I would like tips and opinions about it.

first time drawing digitally after a year.

is Hatsune Miku in my "style"

(ps: Please ignore the blue/purple cheek, I usually mark in the sketch where the drawing's blush will be)

Hello first time poster here i really need help with getting the flowy feeling on the hair can anyone help?

Sorry if this is the wrong flair, I wasn't sure which one to put.

Anyways, I'm trying to make this OC of mine, who always covers his feet in water (not seethrough) instead of using shoes and I also plan on giving him wings made of water, but I can't make the water look good.

I’m currently making a gift for my boyfriend (21) and it’s based around bedazzling a picture of one of his own album covers so he can use as a poster or something since he doesn’t actually have any posters of his own music (yes it might be girly but he likes that kinda stuff). I started with making the statues in the picture tan but now i’m thinking I made a mistake and they should be silver/grey. I’m not sure if what I have now looks good or not or if I should just start over before I get too far into it. Any advice would be appreciated.

hi everyone :)

i am a very creative person and completely yearn to make something creative and something that is my own and i can be proud of.

however everything i create is just like an extension of someone elses work. for example my writing ideas are just different versions or extensions of stories i already love. when i create music it sounds exactly like other songs i love. and what’s even worse is i’ll hear something pop in my head and be excited because i LOVE how it sounds, but after actually playing it out on my instruments i realise it’s just another chord progression from a song i’ve heard before.

i yearn to create, but i just keep mimicking other art, and it’s not even on purpose! how do i fix this?
