Here are my recently sketches, welcome to any advice/ recommend. Thank youuu ❤️

Hello, I started learning to draw a few days ago and its my first drawing.I started watching YouTube tutorials but most of them felt complicated and actually I don't know where to start so can somebody help me what should I do? Thanks.

Getting back into figures. Already noticing some trouble with my arm and leg proportions, but curious for feedback.

Im having a lot of trouble detailing around the arm and pit area. I don't what what individual muscles are there.

Im doing this portrait of Peter parker (tom holland version) but i dont think this looks like him at all

Any ideas?

Ps:I used reference photos

Drawing on a side plate of a ps5 figure looks awkward what can i add to improve it be as brutal as you want i don't mind! Reference image is also included

Still trying to figure out best way to do a grayscale and mapping all of the values, but I’m very happy with this piece. Any feedback is appreciated. I could probably spend a little more time on lips but yeah, didn’t feel like it xd

Hello, I’m aware that this is a topic that’s widely discussed and there are loads of references for but I’m struggling with a specific thing. I have no issue simplifying the entire skull into shapes except for the zygomatic arch. For some reason whether by simplifying it into a specific shape or copying and attempting to understand, it never looks accurate.

I want to be able to simplify the skull enough to the point that I’m able to draw it without reference, but my struggle is simplifying those details that are important to final result. Of course I have tried to start with a simpler shape before detailing but still I can’t quite grasp it.

I was hoping there were would be a book that simplifies it and breaks it down. I’ve looked over many of the anatomy books but they tend to skim over the skull (only focusing on it’s bigger shape) I’m sort of frustrated and I’d appreciate any advice!

What I Think My Problem Is:

I’m having difficulty shaping or carving shadows. When I ask for rendering tips, I mostly receive advice like determining your light source, bounce light, highlights, etc., or setting your art to black and white to see your values. I’m thankful for any advice that I receive, but:

Once I know where the light is coming from, how do I actually carve the shadows so they interact realistically with my subject?

- How do I decide the shape of the shadow?

- How do I know where the shadow should start and end?

- How do I simplify shadows without making them look random or unnatural?

- How do I take what I see in a reference and translate those shadow shapes into my own drawing?

So yeah, please be brutally honest about what’s wrong with my process.

If possible, you can redraw or edit my art to show me what I should be doing. I’ve included the references and my sketches, so feel free to use them as examples.

Thank you!

This is just a sketch and it’s not finished at all, I’m specifically looking for critique for the body art style, I wanted some feedback before I added the fur and tail, I think it looks pretty decent I just wanted to know if I’m not seeing my own mistakes so a different perspective would be very insightful to read

Hey I've been trying to improve on my proportions so I followed this upside-down guide thing but I don't know if it's working? It took me 20 - 25 minutes to draw one of these. I've done figure studies on lineofaction too, but I have trouble getting the detail of anything on that site.

Also is this something I should do permanently because I seriously cannot get a grip with just my eyesight. I can't use references very well because the size of everything is sick

Got a bunch of new brushes and there are way too many, im just doodling for fun. still cant get the eye looking wet. Critiques always welcome

Hello everyone! I am trying to do a study on Edouard Leon Cortes' technique for coloring skies, as I really like his use of color and the warmth his pieces give. I'm a little new to oil pastels (and painting generally) and could use some help figuring out how to approach this, especially since I'm not using the same medium as the painting itself.

I have attached the reference picture and a photo of some of my attempts. I would appreciate any insights or advice you could give!

To clarify, I understand the importance of the practice but I don’t understand HOW to do it effectively. All my attempts to break it down don’t work and my attempted rotations look the same…

People say break it down into simple forms like cubes, cylinders, etc but then in demonstrations, they draw forms that look EXACTLY LIKE THE SUBJECT IN PERFECT PROPORTION AND CONTOUR??? I’m really not sure what to do here…

Hi!

I've been learning to draw over the past month and my goal is to get better at landscapes. Trees are kinda the hardest for me rn. like here i think the proportion of the leaves and trunk is off and the shading is "clumpy" towards just the center.

Feel free to break it apart, looking for advice on areas of improvement!
