Name one weakness you in see in your art & how you would go about improving it. Ill start! I know for a fact hands are a huge weakness for me! So to Improve I am going to find videos that teach howto draw hands, find a good reference book about drawing hands and start setting time aside to practice drawing more hands.

I'm so bad at getting body parts to all be the correct size compared to the head. I just love making huge heads and hands but little arms xD

Interesting! I bet that makes for a unique design 🤔

Gotta say, shading in regards to light source(s) directing where shadows should be is my weakness. I already feel weak at shading, so to get to a "complete" draft of a drawing, only to give it a look over and see that the shading has distorted everything is crushing.

@@snowyevens On man I am right there with you!! Sharing is such a chose I opt for none or very simple anime style shading 👀. If anything go back to the fundamentals of drawing and practice some shading on simple shape and study up to the main subjects you draw

A weakness for me would be when I want to have a really dynamic pose that's got some funky angles, and I can a) never find the right reference and/or b) it just comes out looking a bit funky. It's probably an anatomy/proportion issue, especially when the subjects are more fantasy characters with tails/wings/horns

(Long comment sorry) I recently had a similar problem/ revelation with my own art. But it felt so hard to critique or pinpoint what was wrong, because the individual parts looked good, the line art was clean, I picked nice colors, but they didn't come together, the piece and all it's elements didn't look cohesive. It wasn't until I made a poster of snow Miku as a gift for a friend that it finally clicked. The art I was making before didn't really have an end goal, I was treating each element like an individual step from point A to point B, instead of parts that equally make up a larger whole. Basically my issue was/is planning and composition. Making a poster (which is something I hadn't done before) forced me to approach making art from a different perspective with a different process. I started with an idea of what I wanted to end on, and the choices I made for lineart, colors, background, pose, and perspective, were chosen with that goal in mind. Instead of my typical "if you give a mouse a cookie" method of going "if I make a sketch I'm going to want to ink it, and if I ink it, I'll decide it needs color" and so on, with no real thought to how the final thing should look. I had to reflect on my other art in a similar way to doing a critique after the poster put the issues into perspective. I'm now working on a second poster (also for a friend) of a ghost tea party. And this time I drew a bunch of thumbnails, I chose some color palettes in advance, and I built a mock up of the background in Minecraft to get a feel for how I wanted it to look and where everything should be. It's looking really good so far. I think when I'm done I'm going to take your advice of doing a more formal critique. I'm excited to see what i get out of it.

Never apologize for a long comment. I love reading what you have to say! It never occured to me someone could run into your specific problem so it's great feed back and great awareness on your part for figuring out what your "something missing" was 🤯 I'd love to hear how your critique goes once you finish your next piece. Feel like I could learn alot from you too! ❤️🖤

I just did a personal thorough critique this morning of all my drawings from previous years, making note of issues and things I need to change. Then your video popped into my feed, haha. I agree with your approach of self-critiquing. Personally, lines and coloring are current obstacles I'm facing. I feel like they aren't harmonized, and I mean to do something about it. I'm going to be looking for exercises / studies to help push boundaries.

That's so cool how your actions aligned with the video! Thank you so much for watching. I have been seeing a lot of videos of artists studying popular Japanese artists and their techniques to help improve their own work. If you feel like your lines and colors are harmonized try studying another artist's work to see how they do it. It may help unlock something in your brain to help you improve your own artwork. Here's a video I watched last night of someone studying a popular mangaka's artwork. It really helped me understand how they do what they do. Hope this is a good starting point in your efforts ❤️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHjEd3uFntplg7ssi=-i2dxPDOQNW4GBMI

00:26 i've made a moodboard with all the things i want to improve/change on my art, almost a month ago. It looks pretetious af but hopefully i'll make some baby steps

@vulpipunk 5 ай бұрын

NO such things as a pretetious mood board. Creating one is perfect to help guide you in your practice. It will act as a road map & a point of reference to come back to if you are every feeling stuck on your progress. This is a smart move and honeslty I need to make one myself. I do ones per project I wanna do but have not for my overarching art goals 🤔

@Heinz_Egbert 5 ай бұрын

What is a moodboard and How do you make one??

@vulpipunk 5 ай бұрын

A mood board is a collection of images, materials, text and anything to use as a guide for the concept or style of the creative project you want to make. This video is a great guide on how to make one for an illustration! I follow her video for a lot of art & business tips. Mood boards act as visual guides to capture to vibe you are going for ☺️ hope this helps kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKquqoSqgMuLiJosi=yxqtsvExkvMJqS6g

Pinterest is your best friend too! You can make reference boards of the style and look you are going for and refer back to them. Maybe I should make a video on mood boards🤔
