I want to if there’s any characters with this body type I drew

My colors definitely need urgent improvement, and I think one of my issues is that it's very hard for me to guess which colors to use depending on the mood of the drawing, so my color picking ends up being very... basic.

For example when I draw a natural scenery, I'll often have the tree trunks brown (although I'm sometimes making them more green or purple, but still), the leaves green, the grass lighter/yellower green, the bushes darker/bluer green, the dirt brown, the rocks grey, etc. I just don't know how to guess which colors to use if I want to create an ambience that isn't just regular white light.

For now I rely almost exclusively on layers, blending modes and color correction to help me give tints to my colors, but not only it's not enough, but I also want to actually be able to understand it and do it myself.

Attached are some examples of my art, first four drawings were drawn this year and the last one is 2 years old, but I don't think my coloring has improved much since then. I hate my colors, they feel either dull or over the top, they lack harmony, and you can tell I have no idea what I'm doing.

What can I do to improve on that aspect? I've tried looking at photos and art, but I'm struggling to understand the logic behind everything, the best I can do is copy it and... not be able to reproduce it myself later, since I didn't actually understand why the colors were that way.

any tips? i feel like theres still something off with the anatomy

(Ignore the general fundamentals in each work just focus on the rendering🥹)
These past few days I’ve been completely lost on my art style but mostly rendering style. I always change the way I render after I get bored of a style and I really want a style that I can stick too. I would love to somehow combine all these styles together but that’s hard and I have no idea what to choose

I obviously can’t have the last but heavily prefer it because it’s literally just Alberto mielgo’s style. I want to have my own unique rendering and art style that looks cool. Do I even know how to render????.? I have no idea

HELPPPP

I started this sculpture today and need some help with the proportions specifically the feet. Does the back and her torso look fine?

Hello,

Does anyone have any suggestions on what colour I should make her hair/tail/ears? I'm open to all and any suggestions (including on any changes to skin colour). I have some colours drafted up already but it's kind of a hard pick. She's a unicorn so kind of wanting a soft ethereal feel to her, any ideas?

Thanks

Trying to make a more 3d looking nose by using some of the techniques I’ve seen comic artists use. I used screen for highlights, multiply for shades, blending in and blurring differing colors on different parts of the nose and faces

I feel like I’ve added too much but I’m not sure what exactly I need to pull back on. It took a long while too.

This this is pretty self explanatory and probably a stupid question but my drawing is totally in pencil. I am drawing for a cover and the lady who asked is quite particular so smudging is a big no no. Please help T-T....I've already asked Google so pretty please unique answers....like things that randomly work for you that you discovered. Thanks in advance <3

(just realized i accidentally drew page 5 for left to right reading- but just imagine its from right to left)

its gonna be short since im not sure if i can handle making a long comic yet, the app i used are jump paint and reason why im making this read from right to left is because im planning on publishing it on the manga plus creators app

i really want the first few pages of my comic to be able to get the reader a bit hooked or atleast not boring, is it working? are there problems with the way the panels are paced? im also trying to avoid making alot of heavy dialogue scenes since the core of this comic is about the longing for something and i think quiet panels would work better, but im open to any criticism

and yes this is a rough draft

I can't figure out what's wrong with the mouth proportions it just looks weird every time I redraw it. Any suggestions or constructive criticism? Thanks!

I feel like i dont have much of an art direction, I keep changing artstyles because I think thats the issue i dont like my styles because their boring to me, im practicing anatomy, and trying what I can but I feel discouraged looking at my art compared to what I WANT to make.

I dont really like the childish vibe, I dont like the lack of storytelling, I dont like the exclusion of detail, the style, or anything, I really dont want to come off as negative these are just things that really bother me about my style whenever I take a step back and actually look at it.

The artist I included at the end have artstyles I really enjoy, I love their storytelling, a few of them have speedpaints and tutorials I've watched and am going to study again after this, and the details are really good too, im not trying to compare them their art is just similar to what my goals are.

My friend is looking into maybe doing small scale commissions for the summer and has asked help in pricing. These are his quick works that he has done.

But what do y'all think he should price them at? I personally am not an artist so I have no clue.

Hie.!

left one i drew(i changed the pose a bit),colored from memory or what felt right. ::right one, i'm still confused, coz the pose was difficult to understand,

ik i did mistakes, coz something does feels off to me,

like in the left, idk what i did on the neck and chest area.+hand.

in right one, i wanted to learn more about how the dress works, but ended up spending more time on the back.

so..... please care to share your feedback, thank you. ❤️<3

Hiii first post here ToT

Don't judge me, I'm a self-taught artist and did this in like 15ish-25 minutes during class time:,> (And I especially suck at anatomy... ToT)

I didn't use any references when I was making this piece in progress, so if the hairstyle, anatomy or clothing felt off I'm sorry ToT

The little fabric in the middle is used as a scarf as an excuse to not draw the crotch, since I feel uncomfortable drawing certain areas.

But other than that, is there anything else that's lacking:,>

I wanted the right side of the shoulders to tilt up while the other stayed down, kinda like a slanted edge? I felt like the ribcage is a bit wide too, maybe because I'm struggling with the upper body placement and proportions too. And does the legs feels off? I feel like it's a bit weird

Thank you! *^^*
