Subreddit Rules
Please be civil
Do not slander "bad" work, these artists stand to benefit the most from even simple suggestions and critiques
Keep critique focused on technique and craftsmanship
Please refrain from downvoting submissions you do not like. These people are looking for help improving, just like everybody else.

Critique Tips
Above all, be honest and forthcoming
Be specific, don't say "I like it!" say, "I like the way you...." and likewise for negative comments
Be Helpful, link to books, tutorials, or offer exercises for the artist
Don't refer to things as "good" or "bad," try to talk in terms of skill sets that can be worked on
A lot of us are visual thinkers, if you have a tablet copy+paste and make some notes
When receiving a critique, don't be too defensive, you can't explain away other peoples opinions of your art, try and listen to what they are saying

General advice needed
I recently started getting back into drawing and have been practicing gesture "every day" for almost 2 weeks and the progress is kinda there but I know I've got a lot to go and just wanted to see if anyone can give some general advice on what I should draw or study to improve. And please don't hit me with "the just keep drawing" lol I know thats the key but I want to know what to draw to increase my improvement, thank you!

I’m in the middle of this work in progress, and I’d like critiques on the light source. I’m having trouble with how to integrate it into the perspective with the inner walls.

Recent Digital Drawing!
I’d like to start off and say hi! I’m new here, not to Reddit entirely but I’m looking for outlets to post that yknow, won’t steal our drawings and used for something horrible? Yknow what I mean🙃
I recently finished this drawing in IbisPaint from a pencil sketch, I just wanted to know if there’s anything I’m missing or things I should work on?
I like making the hair chunky but obviously with different hair colours it looks a little funky, and I LOVE adding details to the eyes, but I noticed with lighter coloured eyes they look almost scary? If you have thoughts please let me know!

Help
This painting has been in progress for far too long. Clearly there are areas that need work, but something about it in general isn't sitting with me. Do I need something in the top corner maybe?

What did I do wrong??
I drew the clothes and pose from a reference, but the character is original. Did I render the clothes right? I drew this without any understanding of lighting on clothing and stuff. Any other critiques would be appreciated!!! (This was drawn on procreate)

Hello, I asked here how I can improve my game. You gave me feedback. As a result, I did such a study. Which one do you think is better? Please tell me what I can improve by commenting. Thank you.

What Can I improve on?
Medium: Carved Wood & Acrylic Title: Energy Flow 1 For me, this piece was designed to capture the hidden subatomic rhythms and patterns that shape our world, freezing a moment in time
20:20 UTC

18:32 UTC
Does this pose look correct? I feel like something’s off but I can’t pinpoint it!

Could I request a critique of this oil painting?

Painting Shapes
Everyone pointed out before to work on my values and go more saturated with my colors so it doesn't look muddy.
I am also keeping mind with everything before hand, I really figure out is Shapes when I am coloring. Braking down Big shapes into smaller shapes and checking on their appeal. Also keeping my brush strokes "coherent". I am trying to brush along the form of the face. Also trying to keep in mind of cool vs warm light. I am wondering if I am braking this down right?

Recently finished this piece and I wanted to know how I could improve on it?
I wanted to know a couple of things like;
- Is the line weight good or does it need some more work?
- Does the shading look right or is there too much?
- Does the perspective make sense or does it look ‘wonky’?
Overall, what would you change to this piece?

May I please ask advice on how to give my digital art a traditional look? (plus other things I'd like some critiques on)
I made a fan art of Thorfinn (VInland saga), inspired from the Fallen angel painting by Alexandre Cabanel. I'd like to give my digital art a traditional feel, but also If you have advice on anything else its much appreciated! Besides the traditional feel, there are some problems still on hair rendering, and rendering objects away from the viewer (like the hand and dagger)
