What do you think?

I’m just trying to be in a place where I can have drawings I feel proud of. I would love to able to do fan art some day, and do things in a sort of…not sure how to describe it…anime-adjacent style? Think certain games like Overwatch or Kpop Demon Hunters.

I know this is probably a very vague question, but what are some overall advice to move towards that?

I’m new to actually coloring my drawings and I feel like I always ruin it when I add anything other than pencil. I feel like it loses all its character.

As the title says, don't know shit about drawing but keen to do it since I have a bunch of free time and nothing else to do. My crush used to draw stuff like this and got me very interested. (Pic from Pinterest but my crush used to draw similar eva portraits idk but they were beautiful AF). Would appreciate any advice but the main thing is that is there any FREE course I can follow to make the journey more interesting kinda ? Any other help is greatly appreciated tho.

Thank you in advance.

Another Mikeymega study, the plane turned out better than expected.

I drew digitally between 2006ish to 2020ish. She's the main character of my manga / comic. I originally drew this in 2011, and it went through multiple iterations between that time. I used to be bad at drawing females (still am), and I used this art to learn to draw female pose and anatomy, thus I would update it every few years. Last time being 2018-2020ish. I revisited it today with a slight update to face to use it for my business card.

The last picture is my art from 2010 that inspired the 2011 art.

I’ve always been afraid of portraits and human figure in general, but also really wanted to draw them, so I decided to try Loomis following his books instructions and trying to get the best of it trying to reproduce his references and then repeat it from memory.

The problem is, I think I lack perspective skills and I’m unsure about the results I’m getting, they all look kind of weird, which may be expected, but it raised the question Loomis could wait I little until I’m more experienced, I would really appreciate any help.

my first time using gradient maps and i really like how the colours are looking! also pretty happy with the composition even if it isn’t the most interesting pose :D

it feels like im on my way to the artists on my pinterest board hehe (pls reddit don’t mess up my images)

also critique is appreciated!!

I just drew this and i wanted to know how I can make the tentacles and eyeballs' style match the person in the middle, also off topic is it just me or my drawing looks kinda like ai?

Focusing on women’s torsos

I have been struggling to draw this pose with boxes...... I was wondering if I could get and advice

Now i just realized it somehow looks like AI art...

Took a small break, but we back at it. I draw when my job’s company is under financial distress lol.

Drawn using a reference image, plus some creative additions (ironically) inspired by that one Van Gogh painting about finding anatomy teachings for art boring
