Is my 'style' too messy?
It's obviously a WIP and it's just a sketch, but i really like this type of sketchy, messy lineart.
Do y'all think i could improve in this style by making it a bit more refined, or should i rather practice on cleaner lines? (Ik it's TOO messy but still, i like how it looks)
(Repost due to bad title lol sorry)
So I'm trying to do the twins at the carousel meme but im having trouble. I usually draw on paper, but when i do trends/memes i do digital. The thing is, my switch from traditional to digital ends up nerfing my art so to speak. It looks a little lifeless? Traced? Wobbly? The lineart just makes it feel a little empty. Would the coloring help or is it going to feel the same afterwards? I've done lineless art before and I think it looks better than with lines. Even if I dont, could I get some tips on how to improve the lineart? Also, could you guys give me some furry artists that I could use as references for maybe fur, color, anatomy, etc? Like, just any artists I should look up to. Thanks!!!
Waiting for advice
or anything else? Sorry about the messy WIP and bad quality; first time posting off of a drawing tablet. I plan to fix the ear and spiky mohawk later. Also does she look wolf like? - I'm looking to add sharpness to her design; where else can I?

Hey guys, I tried to draw some buff guys for the first time so let me know how's it
It was hard to find a reference but I ended up using this one (3rd slide). How to make it more impactful/tight?
What different parts of the anatomy(not nsfw), eyes, fur, hands, ears and such should I practice the most to get visual improvement in my drawings?
Maybe this is the wrong place to ask, but this is a question that has been gnawing at my brain for a long time.
How long do people generally take on a single art piece? I always feel I'm "taking too long" to get a piece done if I spend more than like 4 hrs on it.
So, really, I just wanna hear what you all think/do. How long do you spend on an art piece?
For the record I am meaning a complete one with highlights, shading, etc.
Thank you for your time.
I’m trying more dramatic poses but am having trouble with perspective and proportions when doing so.
A lot of furry art I see is very cute and soft, which isn’t my personal style (not to say it’s any less skillful by any means, just not my preference). I’m inspired to start learning digitigrade and animal anatomy because I have a half-sphinx character in a script I’m writing and would like to illustrate my comic one day. Also have some other humanoid animal races I’d like to be able to design.
I’m not sure if ‘more mature’ is the best way to word it. Grittier, less rounded shape language maybe? With a strong grasp on fundamentals and anatomy. Bonus if there’s a comic or something, but I’m probably reaching at that point. I’m just trying to get inspired and do some studies.
For comparison, an artist that comes to mind that I discovered recently is MAF: https://www.instagram.com/m_maf_f?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==
I also really enjoy Dark Souls and their art direction. Haven’t read it, but Goblin Slayer has cool art as well.
Tldr: Are there any tutorials yall would recommend for me to learn to use other brushes and/or improve my art process?
First of all, i use Krita and a relatively cheap, screenless Huion tablet.
My process is as follows:
1: Do a chicken scratch-like sketch using the basic solid brush that gets thicker with pressure
2: Using the same brush, i make a new layer and reduce the opacity of the sketch layer to draw on top. I usually deviate a good bunch from what was in the sketch. (Because i notice imperfections and improvements i could make).
3: I make a new layer, using it for colors, flat, without any shadows, it feels a bit random choosing them.
4: I make a new layer for shadows, and i alternate between: Making it an overlay of solid colors that i change based on the color it's on top; Or i simply bucket fill the layer with a black-adjacent color and erase what's supposed to be in light.
Everything is basically done using the same, basic-5 size brush, mostly because i don't know how to use any other one, i tried a paint brush on the eyes there but i think looks a little weird.
I also notice some dificulty i have to keep a "pretty" line in the second stage, especially given i usually find the sketch more visually pleasing.
Critiques about the anatomy and likewise are welcome too.
Also the art is a reference to Blade Runner 2049, using a character that i'm playing in a ttrpg cuz she lost her love interest and got fucked up fighting some people
What do you think i need to improve in my art style?
While ago I was trying to broaden my area of art by learning how to draw anthro/furries as well but everytime I draw them something feels "off" ,
I don't know which part i should focus on for improvement or what type of practices i should do ?
Any kind of advice of welcomed :3
need help, i like my art but i feel like it's too plain. how can i improve it/make it stand out?
I’ve never attempted shading before and I’m going off of memory of other drawings I’ve seen and YouTube tutorials for reference but I’m afraid it isn’t turning out well, any tips? Critiques? I’m open to anything, I would just like to know what I’m doing ~w~’
I REALLY wanted to push the perspective, but I am worried it is now too distorted to be clear about what is happening.
QUESTION 1: Is the body too small compared to the head now? Does it still read clearly?
QUESTION 2: Also.. what do you think is happening in this piece? I am afraid it doesn’t make sense if u haven’t seen mlp
ALSO looking for HEAVY digital painting critique. BE RUTHLESS
Hi,
I’m trying to make a redraw of this reference pose and I can’t figure out the snout of the woman’s head on the lap of the other one. I’m stumped at how the eye socket is supposed to look like from that angle, and as you can see it looks very wrong right now. 😛 I think her back ear is also in the wrong place, exacerbating the weirdness.
Thanks in advance to those who can help 🙏
